Turf Reminiscences.

Weittes fob the Bbeedee asd Spobtbmas.

From;my summering retreat I make occasion to Bcribble a
screed to say that the mention in yonr paper of last week
of good old Hiram Woodruff, and some others of the trotting
tnrf of my early remembrance, was to me very interesting
reading, and so it teas. I doubt not, to any who knew Wood-
ruff and can recall that period. Trotting was then compara-
tively In its infancy. A mile in three minutes was fast —
anything quicker was enough to make the horse a reputation
as a "goer." Hiram Woodruff was recognized authority
amoug sporting men. He was a big-hearted man and fond of
fine horses and good company. But I have since seen so
much of improvement in the methods of training and hand-
ling trotters that I am brought to the conclusion that the old
Hiram was faulty in some of his ideas about horses, and par-
ticularly of trotters. He was too heavy himself to r?de, but
he used to contend that better speed could be got out of a
trotter under the saddle than in harness. His idea of train-
ing was away behind the practise of this time. It was no use
to try to argue with him. He was good natured and easy to
get along with on almost any other subject; but when talking
horse he had no patience for difference of opinion and would
not allow contradiction. If he didn't know it all, he felt
confident that he knew more about training and trotting
than any other living man, and nearly everybody deferred to
him, so that he was confirmed ia his habit of oracular ex-
pression on turf matters. It was a symposium of real de-
light to listen to Hiram when he was In the talking humor
among the companions he liked and used to meet at the
places he was most at home. Mr. John I. Snediker's, on
the Jamaica road was one of these, and a famous place it was
for sporting men and good fellows. Among the habitues
nsed to be old Cale Weeks, the circus man — rich and gen-
erous and full of fun — given to playing practical jokes, on hi*
■friends and everybody. His country seat at Jamaica was
a home of charming hospitality, comfort and good cheer.

His two sons were chips of the old block. A week with
them at Peichogue, fishing, boating and frolicking, was a
treat not to be forgotten. Old Cale was a frequent visitor at
John I's, as the house was familiarly known, and there one
was likely to meet every afternoon or evening the "bloods"
of New York, the best class of sporting men, and the grand
old "bucks" of Knickerbocker line. June Stagg, the best
known "blood" of New York, was often there. He was a
blazer, chuck full of fun and devilment, without harm to
anyone, and everlastingly getting off some new, wild prank
to surprise, amuse and delight the crowd. He was the Cor-
inthian Tom of hiB day — tall, handsome of form, of noble
countenance, and every inch a man of best mould and nature.
On racing days at the Union course, Snediker's was always
crowded with the cream of the patrons of the turf. There
Hiram "Woodruff was in his element, and always had about
him delighted listeners and an admiring multitude. The
youngsters regarded him as a Gameliel, at whose feet it was
an honor to sit and hearken.

At John Murphy's fine resort on East Broadway, at Rich-
mond's popular place on Broadway, nearly opposite Pearl
Street, by Bonfanti's, above the entrance to the hospital, the
old Washington hotel, which stood on the Bite of Stewart's
down town marble store, and the old Washington Street
house opposite the market, where Bo3S Bill Harrington used
to take his "pet boy," Tom Hyer, were the New York resorts
of "Woodruff, and while the Beacon Course was kept up on
"Weehawhen bluff on the Jersey shore, at Hoboken, Mc-
Carthy's house was another of his favorite retreats. The
turf men of the time — "Woodruff, Conklin, Spicer, Jim Bevins,
Jake Somerindike and others, whose names are not recalled,
the Ludlum brothers, great horse men, and many more, were
also frequenters of McCarthy's. Not far from his house was
the secluded spot where Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamil-

ton in the fatal duel, and the Sybil's Cave was another place
of visiting interest

Porter, the "Tall Son of York," a native of Kentucky, was
editor of the New York Spirit of the Times. His office
rooms, Barclay Street, were ornamented with pictures and
trophies of the turf of every quality of sporting and hunting
and fishing, and Porter was himBelf a genial, hearty enter-
tainer, a magnificent good fellow at dinner, with an unceas-
ing fund of anecdote to draw upon at random. Lord, but
sometimes it seems to me that all those departed spirits have
left none to fill their vacant places, yet when the contrast of
the work and performances of Hiram "Woodruff and the trot-
ting men of his period is made with that of the brilliant
masters of this time, it is a contrast, and allows no compari-
son. Men like Marvin and Doble, Splan and Hickok, Gold-
smith and Turner, could teach Woodruff in trotting and
instruct all of his day in training and handling and driving
trotters.

With Woodruff and them it was an art. The masters of
this day have advanced it to a science, and the horse ia
ennobled by their syBtem to the best uses of man, to the per-
fect development of the intelligent animal. Had the little
gray mare, Lady Suffolk, been committed to the care of a
trainer the equal of any of those mentioned above, the prob-
ability is that she would have been brought to trot the mile
below 2:20. Her owner, Dave Bryant, I was quite well
acquainted with, and I saw the mare in many of her track
performances. Bryant was very proud of her, disliked to
have any but himself to handle her, but he was neglectful
and not qualified to get utmost speed from her. He had his
own rough notions about driving and working her, and in
these he was obstinately confirmed — would not take advica
from any one. Plain, honest, stubborn man that he was, he
had the good fortune to own the best trotter of his time, and
still he used her like a hack horse in his customary drive to
town, taking no more care of her than the ordinary peddler
gives to a fruit wagon plug.

I remember when Pat Hunt, tine, manly, handsome fellow
that he was, came to San Francisco early in the '50's and took
the stable corner of Sacramento and Kearny streets with Ful-
ton, keen, clever, little gentleman, as his business man. Pat
was the star trotting driver of California. Lady Mac was the
speediest on the local turf. Tom Battelle used to make a
fine show of afternoons on the Mission and Lake road with
his fancy roadster New York that never could go in less than
three minutes, if he ever did the mile so low. John Crook,
J. Daniels, and some other old timers were the noted driv-
ers. Pat Hunt excelled all of them. "When Jim Eoff came
there was a new order of things. He was certainly skilled.
But he was something besides. It is the masterful skill and
the unquestioned integrity of Marvin, Goldsmith, Doble,
Hickok, and a few other of the great drivers which has ele-
vated trotting to the high rank equivalent to the English
Derby and Oaks, [the St. Leger andDoncaster, and the others
in that rank.

The greatest praise is deserved by the wealthy men of
California who have better enabled these superior horsemen
to practice the development of the horse — particularly of the
trotter. Leland Stanford has benefitted California and this
whole Pacific Coast, by establishing the great breeding farms
of Palo Alto and Vina, and by bringing here Electioneer and
General Benton, and other sires of great worth, with mares
of choicest blood, to a degree that will grow with every year
as substantial wealth in eligible landed property grows and
produces greater good. His great wealth is applied to the
benefit and usefulness and betterment of mankind and of the
domestic animals — of the horse especially. In worthy asso-
ciation belong the names of Ruse and Corbett, Haggin and
"Winters, Hearst and Baldwin, and others who have largely
invested in the introduction here of the best blood in thor-
oughbreds, and racing, trotting, stud celebrity. These gen-

tlemen have gained for California a reputation which the
famous Bine Grass region of Kentucky does not excel, and
the choicest of the product of the Orange County Hamble-
tonians meets at sales in New York the scions of the old
stock bred in California, which command prices above theirs.
It is enrichment of .the State, and fame beyond the enrich-
ment. VETERAN.

Helena Eack Track.

Helena, Mon., June 29, '89.

Editor Breeder axdSportsmax: — Things are very lively
at present here, every one getting ready for the July meeting
which commences on the 3rd and continues four days.

The programme is good and should till well for there are
about ninety horses on the ground and about forty more are
expected the coming week. The association is building fifty
more new stalls so as to be able to accommodate all who
come.

The runners are out in full force, from quarter horses to
three-quarter ones. One dare not open his mouth about a
quarter race, as he will be taken up at once.

The largest running stable is that of Mr. Bakers. His
stable consists of 10 head, viz., Vice Regent ch g, 7 years by
Regent Dan'I B. ch g, 6 yrs., by Glen Ellen, who won a \-
race here week before last, in :22J, and 'some say he went
faster; Ida Glen, ch m, 7 yrs., by Glen Ellen; Nevada, ch m
4 yrs., by Regent; War Peek, b g, 4 yrs., by Chesapeke; X.
ch s, 3 yrs., by Regent; Yum Yum, bg f, 3 yrs., by Regent;
Trifle, b f, 2 yrs., by Red Boy; Carrie Lee, ch f, 2 yrs., by
Regent; Katie Putnum, g f , 2 yrs., by Geo. "Wilkes.

Mr. Bakers has great hopes of all in his string, but he con-
siders Nevada the best, as she won the Montana Derby last
year, running the mile and a half in 2:39, the fastest mila
and a half ever run in Montana.

In Mr. Blevin's stable there are five: Skucum chg, 2 yrs.,
by Red Boy — Bessie Douglass; Bertie H's oh g, 2 yrs., by
Red Boy— Austeroid by Red Bluff; Tolulu Boy, f, 3 yrs., by
Red Boy— Yogo by Red Bluff; Ailee, ch b, 3 yrs., by Regent
— Lillie Lancashire by Lexington; Glenolia, ch f, 2 yrs., by
Glen Ellen.

Bertie H and Skucum are engaged here in the Pioneer
Stakes and in numerous stakes at Deer Lodge, Anaconda and
Butte.

Mr. J. R. Crawford has two; Olympia, b g, 4 yrs , by Luke
Blackburn — Belladona by Brown Dick. This one is a win.
ner sure as I saw him work a mile last week in 1:47 with
shoes on and 131 lbs. up; Sunday, by e, aged, by Sundance
— Norma; any one that beats him a half mile will know that
there was a race.

P. E. Bybee's Oregon stable is in charge of Mat White, and
contains the following: Oregon, ch s, 4, by Monday — Pane.
cia; Broadchurch, ch s, 3, by Leinster — Tibbie Dunbar; Tom
O'Hara, b g, 3, by Kyrle Daley— Rosey G.; Billow, ch m, 6,
by LongBeld— Media by Norfolk; Raindrop — 2, br tally by
Ophir — Naella by California; Roebucker, br c, 2, by "Wood,
bury— Unknown.

Babb & Mulkey's Stable contains Bogns, ch g, aged, by Op-
hir—unknown; Tom Daly's ch g, aged, by Patsy Daffy —
Sunshine; Duffy "Winter's b g, aged, by Patsy Dnffy— Neva
"Winters by Joe Hooker; Rosa Lewis' ch m, aged, by Flood —
Fanny Lewis by Imp. Bnckden; Qaebec's chg, aged, by Nor-
folk—Jennie Hull; Moses B., ch s, 4. by Leinster— Aunt
Jane; Guido, ch c, 2, by Diuble Cross — Aurora by Thad
Stevens.

Mr. Sutton's stable has Bob Wade, 4 yrs., pedigree un-
known. He ran Daniel B. to a head in 224; Tricksey, g m
by Carriboo; Sosie Ellen by Glen Ellen; Dolly a quarter mare
pedigree unknown.

California is represented by T. F. Lynch';
looks well, and from the way he ran at Port]
np among them. John Esterbrook's Diavolo,^ —

July 6

Dame Winnie; "Brick" iB training and'riding him himself,
and he looks in the pink of condition'.

Tommy Bally is also here with Little Phil, by LeinBter—
Laura H. Phil haB filled up very much since he left the Bay,
and Tommy jb dead stock on him.

Billy Stewart, the pckey. is riding first for Mulkoy. He
is already engaged cd ride in all races where Mulkey does not
start. The trotters are numerous, among them being Breck
& Fisher's stable, with Wm. Taylor trainer. Montana
Wilk*&, five-year-old b g by Bed Wilkes, dam by Lumber, he
by Eiricson. He is a tine looking brown stallion about 15£
hands, and Bhowa considerable speed. They have a two.
year-old fillv, dam by Doncaster, he by Dictator, that Bhould
make a good one this fall in the two-year-old stakes. Bay
Dick, b g by Cummings — Julia Brady. P. B. C, b s, four
years old by Maxim, dam by Mambrino King; Phillis, b m,

five years old, by Doncaster ; Black Horse, five years oldf

by Heard, 2:24|, dam by Mambrino Diamond. Barthol's
Breaking Stable consists of five head of colts bred in Mon-
tana.

Alex. Lewis ia here from Portland with a chestnut mare
by Clark Chief Jr. that he expects to do a trick with. She
has no mark and can go some.

Mr. J. W. Eogleman, of Danville, Ky., has ten in his
string- Bradshaw, 2:26. b g Bis yeare olds, by Messenger
Chief, dam by Gill's Vermont; second dam thoroughbred.
Lance W,, b g, four years old, by Black Diomed, dam by
Brookmont by Almont; second dam by Pilot Jr. Fanolla,
ch f, two years old by Doncaster, bv Dictator, dam by Young
Jim. Montana Girl, bay, three years old, by Counsel, 2:24,
dam the dam of Lady Dawn, 2:29}. The rest are youngsters,
and yon will probably hear of them this fall.

Mr. J. Stella has three, and there are more on the track
who have not done much yet.

There is to be a gentleman's road race on the 4th for $100
a corner, four entries, and it is causing a good deal of excite-
ment, as all are very evenly matched.

Goido, of the Cy Mulkey string, is very ill with pneumo-
nia, and his chances of starting at Helena are very remote.
Contractor, by Sultan, is a speedy trotter, and will make the
horses in his class trot fast to beat him. A few days ago he
was worked oat a mile in 2:25, and was well within himself.

Jack E3gar, who is at present here, will, after the July
meeting, train several youngaters for a gentleman by the
name of Bradbury, who has a farm at Twin Bridges,

Helena .

Feeding and Weanine of Foals.

Written for the Breeder and Sporisman.
This is a subj ct that receives much less uttention than it
merits. The English have a saying that "half a good horse
goes down his throat." Tiere was never a truer saying.
"What applies to the matured animal, applies with equal
force to the foal, yearling, and two-year-old. Therefore
remember that half a good colt goes down his throat'. Care
should be taken to see that the mare gives a sufficient quan-
tity of milk to render the colt's growth rapid and vigorous.
In raising a colt that I intended for the track, I should feed
the maro with that end in view from the time I was satisfied
Bhe was with foal. The disposition of a foal can be mater-
ially changed by the treatment the mare receives while carry-
ing it. Always treat the mother kindly; pet her at all times;
never be hasty with her, and never do anything calculated
to frighten her or make her fear you.

Weaning time is usually fixed at 5 or 6 months after the
birth of the colt. It is my judgment that two weeks should
be taken in weaning a colt properly. Let the colt suckle twice
a day for five days; once a day for five days; and every other
day for the remainder of the time. A colt should have a
little feed box of its own, in which oats may be placed after
the colt has reached the age of two mcnths. Boiled oats
will probably be beBt for the first four or five months. Once
in a while a mash composed of equal parts of bran and oats
is much relished by the colt. When you wean a colt, never
— when the oiroumstances will admit of doing anything else —
take the colt abruptly away from the mare, and out of her
sight and hearing. Firstly — Because if the mare iB a highly
bred animal she will worry and fret, and if in a stable will
act as if she were going to tear the baru down; whereas, if
the colt be placed in a stall by her side, she will gradually get
used to his absences from time to time, and will make but
little demonstration when he iB removed. Secondly— Be-
cause the colt will woik himself into a frenzy in the yard or
paddock you take him to; will tramp up and down the fence
for hours, liko a tiger in a cage; will not eat if feed be held to
his lips, nor drink if water be constantly in sight. He will
"fall off' 50 pounds before he makes op h s mind to submit
to the inevitable, and it will take you several months to make
up for your radical treatment. I am of course speaking of a
highly bred colt. Thirdly— It is to your interest, to the
mare's good, and to the colCa welfare that be be properly and
quietly weaned.

If the colt has had a sufficient quantity of oats up to the
time of weaning, he will contine to grow without tven tem-
porary cessation, as between oafs liberally fed, and cow's
milk freely given, the latter will produce the largest growth.
I b .ve fed them buth and am certain the milk will ensure
moi'3 size than oats. I had a colt sired by a well known
irr' ter, and whose mother is a finely bred little mare, about
ha c trotting and half thoroughbred. She will weigh about
H3u pounds, and is 15:1 hands. The colt's sire is 15:2 hands
high. I continued the milk ration with this colt until he
was 9 months old, when I 6old him. He is at this writing

three years old, and is 16 hands high, and I have every
reason to believe will reaoh 16* when fully matured, which
is four inches higher than his aire, and five inches higher
than his dam. He is at present the largest and best devel-
oped colt by this same sire I know of, of his age, without
reference to the size of the dam. He has been well cared
for by his present owner.

It is my impression that the first two years make the horse,
you cannot neglect a colt with impunity. If he is made to
"rostle" for himself; not housed in stormy weather, and
reared without grain, you will find he has done most of his
rustling at that time, for he won't rustle much on the track
or road, after he comes to years of maturity. Growth lost
the first year or two can never be regained, no matter how
much you feed afterwards, or how Bolicitious your care. It
is not to be wondered at that one sees so many little, hard
looking horses throughout the raraldistriots. I will tell you
how the average farmer raises horses. After the oolt is foaled
It is turned out with the mare in the hills or meadow. It
does well until weaned. We will say it was foaled in April.
It is weaned about September, when feed is growing scarce.
The mare is taken away and the colt begins to rnstle. Grase
gets very short before the rains come, and before new gi-ass
hBs grown sufficiently to have any substance to it. The colt
runs out all winter and oltentimes haB a tough time to keep
alive. Take a look at the colt the next April a year after it
was foaled, you will see a colt about one half as large' as it
ought to be, with a coat of hair like a mountain sheep and a
general pinched appearance. It will look as if most of its
growth had gone to tail and mane. You may breed a fine
Colt, with parents of undoubted excellence, and if you treat
it this way you will have reason to believe that the axiom
"like begets like" is untrue. It takes as mnch work, as
much attention to detail, as much care, as much study, as
much knowledge and as much system to raise a trotting
yearling properly, as it takes work, attention to detail, care,
study, knowledge and system to make any other business a
success.

Carrots and pumpkins are good feed for colts. They
supply the deBire for vegetable food which the colt craves.
Salt should always be where a colt can get it. They will
never eat too much notwithstanding all statements to the
reverse made by cross-roads "hoss doctors." Salt is very
purifyirjg and cooling to the blood. In case a grown horse
has a bad wound, salt is a specific against fever, and one of
the best of internal medicines.

Alfalfa ia undeniably the best of all forage plants, and it
seems almost imperative that the stock raiser have a field or
two of it upon bis farm. It is a constant grower of very
strong habit, and its roots will find water, if it be even
twenty-five feet below the surface. In this country a good
crop of hay can be harvested about the middle of May, and
from that time until the rainy season it affords constant
pasturage. As this time of the year comprises the warmest
months, when feed upon the hills is sere and brown, the
beautiful dark green foliage of alfalfa lookB indeed inviting,
and is highly appreciated by all members of the equine
family. Alfalfa hay, when properly cured, is a good provider
for colt6 not in training — not for older horses, as it is loosen-
ing in its tendency, and is in most cases too dusty. The
green plant, however, is certainly entitled to the greatest
consideration, when the rapid growth of young stock is the
desideratum. This plant does not flourish in many placeB
as it does in this State. It is impossible to raise alfalfa in
the Eastern States on account of the extreme cold. Keotacky
blue grass iB often Bpoken of as a great feed for youngsters,
and I have seen it extolled in the most glowing manner.
While it is a good forage grass, it is far inferior to alfalfa.

To conclude thiB subject I have only to say that eight
times out of ten, increased and careful feeding will result in
pecuniary advantage to the owner, as well as the satisfaction
he has of knowing that he has raised a fine looking young
horse. There are some mountain ranches in thiB vicinity,
where feed is luxuriant and abundant, and where the frost
does not seem to strike. Upon these placeB, when the year
is favorable, when rains come early, are warm when they do
come, the grass gets an early start, and colts reared npon
these ranches make almost as rapid a growth as those that
are housed and 'ed. There are but few locations similar to
the above, and even upon those ranches the conditions must
be favorable to ensure success.

Harvey W. Peck.

Kentucky Bureoo.

In a trip of the kind, one cannot help falling upon an
amount of information which can hardly be called sporting
news, but which might be of interest to sporting readers.
For instance, I saw at a restaurant counter at Lexington race
track a oard hung up bearing the inscription "Genuine Ken-
tucky Burgoo. Now, I didn't know what genuine Kentucky
burgoo waf, and I waB afraid to ask for any, because I didn't
know whether you drank it with a straw or ate it with a fork.
Later on I learned that the Kentucky burgoo is nothing ao
ghastly and weird as its name would indicate, but ia a regu-
lar institution of the great thoroughbred Rales of the large
breeding farms. It is of the same purpose as tho barbecue,
bnt differs from the latter in that it is a boil and not a roaBt.
It is a boiled aggregation of meats, fowls, squirrels and vege-
tables of all sorts. It is made in a kettle that will hold about
41111 gallons, and is served in cups. The real burgoo is not
found except at the thoroughbred sales on the large farms,
and I fear my friend of the restaurant did not tempt the
knowing ones who live in that country.— Forest and Stream.

Inbreeding.

The question of inbreeding, sayB Mr. Parlin in the Culti-
vator, still seems to perplex young breeders of trotting stock,
judging from letters like the following, which we are con-
stantly receiving from different parts of the country: —

"Editor of the American Cultivator; Will you kindly
advise me in regard to the propriety of mating a mare from a
Mambrino Dudley stallion with a Mambrino Dudley stallion
out of a different dam. Both are from standard stock. Do
you think I would get as good results by breeding that way
as from some other cross? Some advise me to do so, and say
the more Mambrino the better. As I am ju6t beginning to
breed a few I would like advice upon the subjeot. If there is
any objection to breeding thiB way please advise how you
would breed her."

In reply to the above, so far as the mating of animals as
nearly related as those mentioned is concerned, there is not
the slightest objection, provided there waB no hereditary
unsoundness or other obj ctionable qualities either in the
common parent to which the stallion and mare are related or
in Borne of their ancestors. If, however, either the dam of
the mare or her sire or dam, crandsire or grandam had
spavins, ringbones, navicular disease, or any other form of
hereditary unsoundness, and the ('am of the stallion or her
ancestors for two or three generations on either side were
unsound from the same cause, it would not be advisable to
mute them, eveo though both the mare and the stallion are
perfectly free from the infirmity to all outward appearance.

If the intention were to ask whether it would be advisable
to inbreed the descendants of that particular stallion the reply
would be, that :s a question which every breeder must decide
upon bis own judgment. The prices which the get of Mam-
brino Dndley brought at the late Kellogg sale show how they
are valued by the general public.

Every man who is breeding stock to sell mast keep a sharp
eye on the public sales, as the prices received there are a
pretty sure index of the varying popularity of certain fami-
lies. It is much safer to base an estimate of the merit of any
horse's get upon their success in actual turf contests, and the
prices which they bring under the hammer, than upon arti-
cles which appear in print even over the names of prominent
writers. The most honest men are liable to err in judgment.
Not long since a well known and highly entertaining writer,
in giving an account of a certain trotter with a low record,
extolled the superior road qualities of the animal. One who
had known the horse for yearB read the flattering description,
and after a hearty laugh remarked that so far as road quali-
ties were concerned the horse in qaestion was the meanest
one he ever sat behind. The man who wrote the article was
honest, but erred in judgment, and parties who based their
estimate of the animal's merits as a roadster upon the article
in qneBtion were liable to err. The watch and the hammer,
however, can generally be relied upon.

Fashion in trotting stock is constantly fluctuating. The
family which stands highest in popular esteem to-day may be
greatly overshadowed by some other family a few years hence.
EVr this reason the young breeder should guard against be-
coming wedded, so to speak, to any one family of trotters.
The breeder who has the best jadgment and keeps the best
posted by the records will be the first to detect the coming
trotting sire or family, and will be likely to have a little of
that stock to sell when the tidal wave arrives.

Where a man ia raising only a few animals "for his own use
or amusement, without regard to profit, he can select animals
whose blood lit es please his own fancy, jnst as the dairyman
who makes butter only for his own table, can salt and flavor
it to suit his own palate. The man who makes batter to sell
and hopes to realize the highest market price, however, must
be governed by the palates of those who are willing to pay
fancy prices.

Just so with the breeder of trotters who Joes not care to de-
velop his own stock. If he wishes to obtain the highest
prices at public or private sale, he most not only aim to raise
first-class animals, but he must be careful to secure such as
are bred in fashionable lines.

The fashion is set by the success of the members of any
particular family upen the turf, instead of newspaper articles
or opinions of prejudiced individuals as some appear to be-
lieve. Within three years a horseman of considerable note
remaiked to us that Nutwood was a failure as a eire of trot
ters This man, tboogh fairly well posted, had not studied
the records carefully. He has heard somebody make the re-
mark whose judgment he supposed good, and he accepted it
as a fact. Since then Nutwood has been Bold at auction for
$22,000. His book is now full at $500 this season, and he
haB twenty-five representatives in the 2:30 list, six of which
have reoorda of 2:20 or better. Id fact, his 2:30 list exceeds
the combined list of any other three grandsons of Alexander's
Abdallah.

Only a few years ago the Clay strain was so unfashionable
that a promient Kentucky breeder remarked to an Eastern
horseman that he wished he had not an animal on hia farm
which had the Clay cross. To-day the records show that the
two fastest yearling trotters ever raised, Norlaiue, 2:31-*, and
Sadie D., 2:35f, the fastest two-year-old trotter, Sunol, 2;1S,
the fastest two-year-old trotting stallion, Axtell, 2:23, the
fastest three-year-old trotter, Sable Wilkes, 2:18, the faatett
four-year-old trotter, Manzanita, 2:16, the fastest trotter to
wagon, Hopeful, 2:16J, the greatest trotting Htallion yet pro-
duced, jodged by his 2:30 performers, George Wilkes, 2:22,
the greatest trotting brood mare yet bought to light, Green
Mountain Maid, with seven sons and daughters in the 2:30
list, the only two trottiog stallions that were oversold for
$50,000 apiece, Stamboul, 2:14^, and Bell Boy, 2:291. P"ce
$51,000, and the only two-year-old trotting stallion that ever
passed under the auctioneer's hammer at a bid of $26,000, all
possess the once despiBtd Clay cross.

This goes to prove as stated that fashion in trotting stock
is liable to sudden and radical changeB, hence the breeder
who wishes to get top prices mnBt keep sharp watch of the
records and auction sales, and study the blood lines of those
which win the bisgest nurses on the turf and the biggest bids
when on the block.

As to inbreeding numerous examples of success both upon
the running and trotting turf were mentioned in these col-
umns a short time since. Butterfly. 2:19$, and Ejgle Bird,
2:21, were by sons of George Wilkes, and their dam. Tansy,
was also a daoghter of George Wilkes. Clingstone, 2:14, the
fastest trotter ever raised in New England, and as game a one
as ever took the word, was by Rysdvk, son of Rysdyk'sHam-
bletonian; dam by Chosroes, another son of the old Hero of
Chester. F&vouia, 2:15, waa by Wedgewood, 2:19, son of
Belmont, by Alexander's Abdallah. The dam of Favonia
was Fndette by Alexander's Abdallah. The pacer, King Jim,
2:204, waB by Belmont; dam Maud by Alexander's Abdallah.
Sally Cossack (foor-year-old record 2:22') which is nearly
four seconds faster than any other of her sire's get, was by
Don Cossack, out of Almonia, and Almonia was by Almont,
Bon of Alexander's Abdallah, out of Roaina, by Alexander's
Abdullah. The dam of Sally CoBseck'e sire was also by Alex-

b

ander's Abdallah, making her very closely inbred to that dis-
tinguished son of Rvsdyk's Hambletonian.

These are only a lew of the many instances that might be
named, to say nuthing of The Moor, sire of Sultan, 2:24, nor
of Ida Belle, 2:23, both of which resulted from incestuous
breeding, mating a mare with her own son. Daniel Lambert
waR by Ethan Allen, son of Vermont Black Hawk. He has
now at least thirty-three sons and daughters in the 2:30 list,
and eighteen of the number, including his fastest, Comee,
2:19J, were from mares which trace directly through their
sires >o Vermont Black Hawk. Abraham, by Daniel Lambert,
now has eight in the 2:30 list. The dam of Abraham was
Folly Cook by Vermont Black Hawk, and seven of the eight
2:30 performers got by Abraham, including Frank, 2:194,,
were from Black Hawk mares. The eighth waB also from a
mare"of Morgan descent.

Some of the most intelligent, enterprising trotting-borse
breedeis, in seeking an out-cross, aim to secure an animal
whicii has some remote kindred strain to the animals selected
for mating. When Gen. Withers wished to get the Black
Hawk strain a few years since as an out-cross for his Ham-
bietonian-Mambrino Chief stock, he decided to purchase
Daniel Lambert; first, because he had proved himself the
most successful sire of speed that had ever come from the
Black Hawk family, and second, because his dam, Fanny
Cook, was by Old Abdallah, sire of Rysdyk's HambletoniaD.

Failing to get Daniel Lambert, the General bought Wood-
ward's Ethan Allen, Lambert's full brother. Both Abdallah
and Mambrino Chief spraDg from Mambrino, son of imported
Messenger, so that, though mating Woodward's Ethan Allen
with his Hambletonian and Mambrino Chief mares gave him
the Black Hawk out-cross, yet it reunited the diverging Mes-
senger streams. Young breeders can gain many valuable
poiats by conversing with and closely watching the course of
experienced breeders who have made a success of the busi-
ness.

The Hag-gin Sale.

As a matter of record, we give below the prices paid for
most of the yearliDgs sold by J. B. Haggin in New York last

have failed to get a report.

Santa Barbara News.

Santa Barbara is the fairest city of the Pacific Coast. Its
fame as a winter and summer resort is renowned, for its
climate is unexcelled and the grandeur and eloquence of the
surrounding scenery is inimitable. The grana old Mission
that watches on the quaint city as it slamberB in unmolested
sleep, is the best preserved one in the State and the only
mission in possession of the Franciscian friars. This beantiiul
little city ot fifteen thousand inhabitants is well protected by
the high Coast Range mountains in the north and west, and
the mighty winds that sweep on the great ocean and arouse
it to sudden and imminent wrath, never reach this city,
for the islands that rise out of the sea, thirty miles from
here, check the storm, and when it reaches us it is a
mild briny breeze that comes to end the rays of the sun. It
is true that the quaintness of the Presideo— as it was called
forty years ago— is disappearing. The old adobe mansions,
whose roofs were covered with "Texas," are rapidly dis-
appearing, but the eye welcomes on all sides elegant and
substantial business houses made of blue sandstone, and
handsome dwellings of modern architecture. The Spanish
element is dying out and the Americans are taking possession
of the city and of the immense cattle and sheep ranches of
the county.

The old time sports of Santa Barbara are either too old or
too indolent to take part in sporting affairs. There is one old
Spaniard still living who tells of the wonderful speed of old
time horses here. He is so old and visionary that it is not
safe to repeat his reminiscences. He tells of a race run in
this city in 1851. The distance was "euatro cientas varas"
{400 yards). The parties who made the race bet one thousand
steers. He says that those little horses flew through the
air. The horseBof to-day, he says, would not have started ere
their wonderful steeds were at the ena of the race. The old
gentleman waB also a rooster trainre, and old as he is, you
will often see him with a game cock under his arm.

Racing in Santa Barbara goes by spurts, but now that the
city has grown so rapidly and every man of means is intro-
ducing fine bred horses and mares, Santa Barbara promises
to be a great racing centre. The winter months are so mild
that horses from the East will winter here, when the good
people of the cold winter States find our mild winter and fast
track. The Agricultural Park of Santa Barbara has a fast,
substantial and well protected mile track. The stalls are
large and substantial. The high fence that surrounds the
track is made of white fine fence lumber, and the spaeious
and improving pavilion that is outside the track is an
elegant building. The Fall races will begin Oct. 1st and will
last four days. The purses are liberal, and there are many
horses in training, so that the meeting will surely be a success.
The stallion race, purse $300 for trotters,will be a most inter-
esting one, for there will be at least six stallions to start, and
the owner of each is certain that he will carry off the honors.
Gns Walters, the favorite Los Angelestrainer, has moved to
Santa Barbara, and will permanently locate here. He has in
his string some very promising horses. For the stallion race he
has in training Don Patricio, a five-year-old stallion sired by
A. W. Richmond, dam by Kentucky Hunter. Don Patricio
is a grey, standing nearly sixteen hands, very speedy and pro-
mising to be a great colt. When he was two years old, and
with two weeks training, he trotted two heats on a half mile
traok better than three minutes. He has a clean, open »ait,
is level headed and understands and obeys his kind master.
Barring accidents he will make his rivals trot much better thaD
2:30. He also has in training a Nutwood pacer called
Glenwood, his granddam is Lady Washington, and
ajmost promising two-year-old bay horse Maben, sired by
Grandee. This colt is owned by L. J. Rose Jr., and the lit-
tle horse can trot well and does it bravely. Mr. Walters has
alBo a tine three-year-old chestnut colt sired by Judge Salis-
bury, dam untraced. This colt, James T. Hope, of San
Francisco, purchased for $1500. The watcheB of many sports
here indicate that this colt can trot better than 2:30. Gns
Walter's string all look well and he haB all that he can do.
We wish him success and we are certain that Santa Barbara
will protect him, for all believe that he is a conscientious
trainer, that he will be true to his horse, and faithful to its
owner. If a trainer have merit, art and judgment, and is
true to the principle, that honesty is the Lest policy, he is
certain of success. Racing in Santa Barbara has, in the past
been very unpopular, and all because fourth rate trainers and
jockeys here come here, and horses have been run fir little
money, and consequently regardless of the best horse. We
have great hopes of thiB Fall meeting. We have here now,
first rate trainers and drivers, and we are confident that in
the future, the beBt horse and the cleverest trainer wiil win.
Once we have the confidence of the people, then the gate re-
ce;pts will warrant more liberal purses.

Pete Doyle, who has been in Santa Barbara and Ventura
Counties since ,86, has been very successful as a trainer and
driver. Looking over the books of the Santa Barbara Agri-
cultural Park, I find that he has the following record: In
'8b' he started in seven races; he won six, and was third in
one. In '87 he started in four, aud won thiee and second in
one. In '88 he started in Bix, and won siT. In '89 he started
in six, won three, and was second in three. He has in the
string some promising geldings and mares. He will have for
the stallion race a bay seven year old, -ired by Algoona, and
his dam is sired by Gen. Tuylor. He has a record of .48,
and that with little or no traiuing. Pete thinks that the bay
stallion will surely trot low in the twenties by this fall. Dojle
also has a promising two-year-old sired by Cashmere, be
by Sultan, nam out of a mare by Trustee. This colt is
speedy and kindly disposed. He has a long string of tine
burses, and will have many more in a few days. Some of
the horses that we know are the following: —

Two-year-old colt by Monroe Chief, dum Eva P. by Ben
Wade. A three-year-old stallion, grandson of Electioneer.
A two-year-old bay colt, full brother to Flora G., by Altoota
out of a mare by Conway's Patchen. He has a tine. iaod|
bay colt by Darbnnd, dam by Max, he by Echo. Also^B
roan mare that with little training has trotted in .35. She is
by A. W. Richmond.

Henry Delany has in training a big handsome bay stal-
lion four years old, sired by Bashaw, he by Wapsie. Mr.
Lawrence of this city paid fifteen hundred dollars for this
grand horse two months ago. He trotted three beats
better than .35 when Mr. Lawrence bought him.
is a most promising one. Mr. Delany has also in
Rosewald, by A. W. Richmond, dam by Chrichton.

Horseback Riding and its Relation to Health.

BY DAVID M. PATTERSON, M. D.

"If your ramble w*a oil horseback, 1 am glad of it, on account of
your jiealth.— Swift.

One of the biographers of General Grant, in referring to
his great love for a horse, has said: "The horse is a noble
animal, and it is by no means remarkable that a bond of
sympathy has been established between great men and good
horses*" It is also to this same illustrious "silent man"
that the llev. W. H. H. Murray dedicated his most interest-
ing and instructive work, entitled "The Perfect Horse."

I trust that it is not inappropriate to here briefly refer to
the horse of antiquity, whose history is always both inter-
esting and instructive.

Tradition teaches us that the earliest use made of the
horse by man was not for work or pleasure, but only for
food. As man gained in intellect and knowledge, the same
progressive spirit which in these days has led him to utlilize
steam and electricity as motive power in place of the stage
ooach of our forefathers was shown in those primitive times,
and it was but natural that he should look for the needed
assistance among the lower animals about him. There is
every evidence, however, that the horse was not his first
selection. Other animals, such as the goat, the sheep, the
ox, the ass and the camel, either on account of their lesser
size or slower movements, were first tried as beasts of bur-
den and locomotion.

Doubtless a long period elapsed before man acquired suffi-
cient courage and ingenuity to capture and bring under
subjection an animal possessing the strength of muscular
power* and the swiftness of foot, combined with the spirit
and intelligence which have always been prominent charac-
teristics of the horse — an animal designated by a kind and
wise Providence esriecially for the use of man and for the
benefit of the human race.

The primitive home of the horse is now definitely located
as being thnt portion of the country lying between the'/Tigris
and the Euphrates in Mesopotomia, this being the place
where every living creature, both man and beast, was col-
lected tgether after the Flood. It was an easy matter for
the horse to be taken from there into Egypt, where he is
often alluded to in the Book of Genesis At the time of
Joseph's reign in Egypt we find the horse frequently men-
tioned, and there is no doubt that the value of this animal
for domes tic and cavalry service was at that time clearly
established.

All through the Old Testament frequent reference is made
to the use of horses in the service of warriors, kiugs and
prophets. Habakkuk says of the horses of the Chaldeans
that "they are swifter than the leopards, and more fierce
tban the evening wolves," and to Job is given the honor of
having produced the greatest word painting of this noble
animal to be anywhere found in sacred history.

It is not difficult to trace the journey ings of the horse af-
ter leaving Egypt, and Persia, and Taiiary and Greece, and
finally, into Thessaly, "the people of which, like the Mexi-
cans of modern times, conceived the horse and driver to be
one, giving rise to the fable of the centaurs, double shaped
and incomprenensible."

The history of Rome is the history of horsemanship, the
Romans finally surpassing their teachers, the Greeks, in
daring feats of the arena, and the attachment of this warlike
people for the horse has loDg since been recorded as history.

The love and high appreciation of the horse have inspired
the poets in all ages to sing of his courage, docility and
fleetness.

Byron has happily described the action of a herd that had
been surprised by the arrival of Mazeppa and his fainting
charger on their pastures:

They stop— they start-they snuff the air,
Gall >p a moment here and there.
Approach, retire, wheel round and round,
Then plunging hack with sudden bound,
Headed by one black mighty ateed.
Who seemed the patriarch of his breed,

Without a single speck of hair
Of white upon his shaggy hide;
They snort- they foam, neigh -awerve asida,
and backward to the forest fly,
By Instinct, from a human cry.

There is no doubt but that Virgil's description of the white
Thracian steeds of Turnus can with equal truth be applied
to the white horses of ancient Cappadocia:

It is well kuown that the color has often influenced the
the price of the animal, as we recall the well-known rhyme:
One white foot — buy a horso;
Two white feei— try a horse;
Three white feet-look well about him;
Four white feet— go without him.
Turning now to our own country, it may be stated that
the horse of America is a modern importation. It is doubt-
ed by standard authorities on this subject whether the Nor-
wegian discovers of Newfoundland and various parts of
North America during the tenth and eleventh centuries left
horses behind them or not, and it is generally conceded
that it was uot until the time of Cortez and Pizarro that the
horse gained a fair footing in the New World. Cortez and
Pizarro carried the horse into Mexico and Peru, respective-
ly, while Brazil is indebted to the Portugese, and H»yti to
the second voyage of Columbus (1493), for the introduction
of the horse upon their shorea. From these early importa-
tions horses have rapidly mtBfeplicd in 'number, until now
it is estimated that in the United States alone there are near-
ly eight million, representing a monetary value of about
S2, 000, 000,000 and $3,000,0000,000. These comprise every
grade of condition, from the magnificent thorougbreds
which command fabulous prices down to* the cheapest aud
sorest cart horses which do the drudge work in our city
ets and the hardest plough work on our country farms,
ill in a as high as $75,000 have been paid for celebrated trot-
fflers, and even $10,000 aud $15,000 have been refused for

means of health-

highly estimated, and it is to

ie regretted that the bicycle and tricycle have in some sec-

ons of our .country been allowed to supercede this most

irdgorating exercise. Certainly for all, both men aud

women, who are closely confined within doors by sedentary

pursuits there is no form of exercise which imparts tone and

liergy to the whole physical system and at the same time

;ives such a wild range of mental enjoyment us horseback

ding.

In order to obtain the best possible results from this kind
of exercise a few things are essential. One is thai the rider
must have, at least in some degree, an affection for a horse;
without this, much of the pleasure and be .efit derived from
riding pre lost. To some this love for a horse is spontan-

eous and natural; to others it is acquired. Some men, and
women, too, are natural born riders. General Grant may
be mentioned as belonging to this class, some of his early
exhibition feats of horsemanship having now become almost
proverbial. To such men as he aud others like him, it is
only necessary to place them in a saddle and they at once
become good riders.

Special care should be taken in the right selection of a
horse. All horses are not adapted for the saddle any more
than are all men good riders, and both the safety an 1 com-
fort of the rider depend upon a wise choice. S imeone has
said that the false distribution of the weight to be carried
is a more prolific cause of poor riding than any other one
thing A horse is let from the stable one day to a man
weighing 130 pounds, the next day to one weighing over
one hundred and seventy, and on the third day to a lady
of not over a hundredweight. It is such treatment as this
that will soon spoil the best of horses.

Next in importance is the proper adjustment of the saddle
and bridle. Unfortunately this is too ofteu overlooked.
The saddle should be of a size adapted for the form and
build of the horse. It should also be adjusted to fit the
s<-.at and legs of the rider; the weight should be so placed as
to press equally over the whole under surface of the saddle,
especial care being given to the position and length of the
stirrups. Many horses that are in everyway adapted for
use in the saddle have been spoiled because of the use of bits
that were unsuited to their mouths. The mouth of the
horse is one of the most sensitive parts of his anatomy, and
any abuse of that organ, either by the use of an improper
bit or its bad management, will surely be followed with un-
pleasant results. If any one thinks that these minutiae are
unimportant it may be well to recall to mind that at one
time the French cavalry had 10,206 horses, and that after
less than one mouth's marching, not more than 3,500 of
that number were really fit for service, the remainder hav-
ing "been rendered unserviceable by the saddle and other
portions of the equipment." With tbese few suggestions
properly attended to, together with such others as may be
prompted by experience, a five or ten mile ride on a clear
summer morning cannot fail to prove an unestihiable bless-
ing.

Doubtless much of this benefit is due to the magnetism
which the rider receives from his horse as he rushes along.
"The horse is a regular battery for the generation of animal
electricity." Mounted on a horse, a man cannot help feeling
that he is a little better favored than the one who walks.
He knows that he can go faster, and consequently for the
time being he is master of the situation. There is also a
feeling of healthful exhilaration which is very stimulating
to both a man's physical and mental forces. "He has for
the time a kind of ideal, not actual, being, and rides the
horse as the poet ridts his Pegasus " The inorn oue rides
and becomes familiar with the nature and the habits of his
steed, the better he recognizes the strength and power of
this DOble animal. These in turn are imparted to the rider
through the powerful agency of magnetism, and this mag-
netic i nnuence is a powerful aid in recuperating and sustain-
ing the natural forces of our being.

One of the essential benefits to be derived from horseback
riding lies in the fact that, physiologically speaking, the
effects of this kind of exercise reach every function of the
body, and, as each one is more or less affected by the other,
a general good effect upon the whole body is obtained. If
one organ or its function is deranged, the overplus energy
which is given to the well organs is in turn bestowed upon
that part which, so to speak, is below par.

Not only to a well man is horseback riding a source of
pleasure and recreation, but to the invalid, whether suffer-
ing from mental or physical ailment, this kind of exercise,
if wisely employed, may prove of great value. That it can
aid in establishing the health of one who is broken down by
overstudy, excessive clerical labor, or from the perplexing
and burdensome cares of business, has .long since been
clearly demonstrated. In the early stages of consumption,
general debility and insomnia, together with certain kinds
of muscular and nervous affectations, horseback riding is
strongly recommended by our highest medical authorities.

The wise for cure on exercise depend.
God never mad-e bis work for man to mend.

The modus operandi of this kind of cure may briefly be
stated as follows: In the first place, this kind of exercise is
entirely different from any other, and in one sense it is
never on two occasions exactly the same. It is oifflcult to
explain this on paper, but every rider knows it to be true.
The very nature of this exercise at once takes a man out of
himself. The fact of his being seated in the saddle with the
bridle rein in his hand engages the attention of his mind,
and his thoughts are at once turned in a new direction. He
forgets his troubles, whether real or imaginary, something
new each day occupies his time and attention, while the
horse is doing the work and he is taking the exercise.

Again, this form of exercise in its direct influence upon
disease, is deserving of special notice. This is doubtless
due, in a large measure, to the power of equalization of the
vital forces and their consequent influence upon every nerve
and muscle in the body. Take, for example, the two antag-
onistic diseases known as plethora and anaemia, the one
being that condition where the blood is too rich in quality
and too much in quantity, causing distention of the capil-
laries, a turgid condition of the veins and obesity; the other
where the blood is poor and thin in quality and but little of
it. For the first disease, horseback riding, if judiciously
practiced for some time, will tend toward reducing both the
amount and unhealthy state of the blood, in the same way
that mountain climbing, running, etc., will obviate a ten-
dency to excessive corpulency. As one writer has remarked:
"When in a young girl this tendency to the development of
an excessive amount of fat discloses itself, the proper remedy
is horseback exercise aud moderation in diet. This is the
true specific against embonpoint — not acidulated drink or
substances which, destroying the health, remove uot only
the fat, but at the same time all pretentions to beauty." It
may be clearly asserted that there is no form of exercise
which ful tills more completely the above indications than
horseback riding.

The characteristics of the second disease, anromia, are
either a diminualiou of the quantity of the blood or a change
in its character, in which it is poor and watery. Such a
condition gives rise to a pale, colorless face, languiriness and
general debility. For snob a slate of the system horseb ok
riding stands first in I he list of hygienic measures which
slioul I be adopted for the toning up of the system, the en-
riching both the quality and character of the blood, as well
as clucking the progress of the disease, which, if allowed to

continue, must so ncr or later be followed with serious re-
sults.

Some diseases of the nervous system, namely, hypochon-
driasis, hysteria, chorea and other similar affections of the
brain and spinal chord, are specially amendable to this form
Ol exercise and are usually attended with the best results.

It is necessary, however, that the rides be short and that an
easy-gaited horse be chosen. A.s a rule the rides should be
taken in the early morning, and the exercise should never be
prolonged so as to induce fatigue. Insomnia is another
wearisome affectation of the brain and nervous system for
which daily horseback riding is advocated by our highest
medical authorities. There are several cases on record of
noted divines and others who have been completely cured of
their inability to sleep nights by daily horseback riding,
faithfully continued for weeks or even months.

Probably there is no one disease for which, in its early
stages, horseback riding is so beneficial as that of consump-
tion. So well known and popular has this fact become that
in a number of instances the theory has been woven with
wonderful ingenuity into the "plot" of several standard
society novels of the day.

It is very often that this exercise is begun iu a most sim-
ple manner, the patient sitting on a horse which is led by a
groom at a slow wtdking pace. Gradually, as the patient
improves and gets a little stronger, the hectic flush of the
afternoon gives place to the bloom on the cheek in the morn-
ing, the expansion of the chest grows larger and the muscles
of the body develop in strength and size, the appetite im-
proves, the cough grows less, the night sweats disappear;
health and vigor are once more restored.

Many a man who now enjoys a good digestion, a sound
night's sleep and a robust, healthy constitution owes his
deliverance from the bondage of sickness and disease to the
dady exercise on horseback. It is related of the late Rev.
Dr. Cutler, of Brooklyn, that when a feeble young man he
fully recovered his health by riding from Portland to Savan-
nah, and that his valuable liie was prolonged to old age by
this almost daily exercise.

It is an old aud trite saying that "public health is public
wealth." This is true whether we consider man as an indi-
vidual or associate him collectively in the mass of humani-
ty. Suppose a mau of large means and possessed of flue
business capacity suddenly deprived of health, how long
will it take to convince him that his best capital is embar-
rassed and his most brilliant efforts crippled? Now, in
nearly every vocation iu life there are to betound those who
are not succeeding as they wish — not because of some local
or organic disease, but simply because there is a low state
of vitality and an enervated condition of both their physical
and menial systems.

To prevent the increase of such tendencies, if they already
exist, and to restore the body to a normal, healthy condi-
tion, and to keep it so after recovery, there is no tetter form
of exercise known to medical science than horseback riding,
As Dr. Holmes has quaintly yet truly remarked, "the out-
side of a horse is good for the inside of a mau. The improve-
ment in digestionand assimilation is at once recognized. No
man ever swung himself off' h s saddle after a ten-mile ride
without feeling th-tt he was hungry. And as many a disease
can be conquered by transferring the battle g ound from the
sick room to the saddle, so the earliest approach of disease
can ofteo be prevented and good health preserved by daily
exercise on horseback

Another important feature of this kind of exercise is that
horseback riding must of necessity be indu ged in away
from the crowded thoroughfares of the city. Out into the
country we must go, find no sooner do we leave the dusty,
noisy streets behind us and strike out into the clear and
open country tlan the beauties of "nature burst upon our
vision. The plainest scene puts on its bright apparel as
the sun touches it with its golden brush.

Soon the horse breaks from a trot into a canter, which
is the most pleasant and natural of all the paces when prop-
erly performed by the horse and rider. The speed is not
great, the best pacing of the horse should not exceed ten or
twelve miles an hour, which will ensure for the rider the
best physical results. There can be no dullness in horse-
back riding; every turn in the roai and every mile that is
traveled bring in view new sights and discoveries. This
soon awakens in the mind a constant expectancy of new
pleasures, which in turn impart to the current of life an
ouward impulse that seems to react on the mind as on every
function of the automatic organism.

A little experience and observation will soon surprise us
as to the amount of physical recuperation which this kind
of exercise produces upon the different organs of the body.
As the rider rushes along, every nerve thrills with pleasure
and healthful exhilaration; the lungs take in to their utmost
oapacity th<-ir full quota of air which is loaded with the pur-
est oxygen and enriched with the sweet perfrme of flowers;
while the heart is quickened and strengthened in its action,
forcing the enriched and purified blood to the most distanc
and minutest capillaries of the body, and the pulses are
found to be beating as even and regular as the time piece in
your pocket. The very nature of horseback riding tends to
strengthen the ninscl s of the back, legs and arms; the grip
of the hand is firm, the eye is steady, and the ear is quick
to detect every souud as well as to listen to the chorus of
birds whose songs make one divine harmony

Not only to the physical part of our being is horseback
riding of practical benefit, but to the mental and moral side
of -our nature this kind of exercise is one of inestimable
value.

The wear and tear of the brain in these busy times of the
nineteenth century cannot well be avoided. The oue repre-
sents the natural and legitimate result of lawful use and is
what every one must suhmit to; the other comes of hard
usage and abuse, the nervous system, unsettled by the
mental strain, brings about various defects in nutrition;
the appetite fails and then we meet with sleepless-
ness, the dyspepsia, the irresolution, irritability aud
depression which are the chief miseries of the overworked.
For these various and oftentimes complicated troubles horse-
back riding affords prompt and effectual deliverance. It is
next to an impossibility to carry your business cares and
perplexities along with you in the saddle. While riding iu a
carriage or walking it is an easy nutter to think over busi-
ness or to "talk shop" with the companion at your side;
but when seited on a horse, and the animal is in motion,
something else must and will occupy your thoughts. Con-
centrated mental calculations are not in order while riding
horseback.

The brain needs just such recreation and stimulant as can
be furnished by horseback riding; the motion of the body as
the rider and horse move along has a quieting influence on
that organ. In no better way can the brain become clear
and receive into its every portion the renovating properties
of rich, healthy blood than by such exercise. Anxiety gives
place to contentment, and hope and courage again take the
place of doubt and despondency.

That horseback riding is coudncive to the elevation of
good morals and the development of the "small, sweet cour-
tesies of life" is evident to even the rrost casual observer.
The exercise imparts a healthy tone of mind and spirit,
together with a manliness and simplicity of manners. It is
very rare to find a good horseman who is churlish and lack-
ing in that delicate and instinctive appreciation of the feel-

ings of others. Horseback riding begets in the rider a love
for his horse, which he shows l.y many acts of kindness
toward his faithful steed; that the horse not only under-
stands but appreciates this thoughtful care on the part of
his master cannot be denied. And there is scarcely any
opportunity more favorable for the constant thoughtfulness
and watchful care by a gentleman for a lady than when he
acts as her escort on horseback. It is while on horseback
that a man will show his power of will, his courage and
ability to meet and master emergencies which accident will
often force upon him. Horseback riding develops a cool
demeanor and a steady, resolute will, and the^e are best
obtained from worship at the shrine of nature. These, with
nature's tonics of purest air, clearest skies and plenty of
sunshine, will give healthei appetites, richer blood, steadier
nerves, stronger muscles and a clearer brain.

Not the 'wilderiog walz in the ballroom's blaze,

Nor the chivalrous joust, nor the daring race,

Nor the ewift regatta, nor merry Chase,

Nor tho sail high heaving waters o'er,

Nor the rural dance on the moonlit shore,

Can the wild and fearless joy exceed

Of a fearless ride on a fiery steed.

The Plague Spots of the Turf.

B7 Mr. William Day.
In the last number of tbe Fortnightly Review, Mr. William
Day writes on "Turf Reform." The article goes to show
tbat there are plague spots in Euglish turf matters as well as
in the "United States. The part of it most likely to interest
our readers iB as follows.

IN-AN-OTJT RUNNING.

There is no doubt that plenty of in-and-out running can be
shown with regard to horses belonging to members of the
Jockey Clnb, as well as in the ca*e of such as belong to other
people, which, on the ground of public form, it is difficult to
account for. One must not impute motives hastily, however,
to one person or another. Yet the question arises, to whom
are Bach things to be ascribed? Is it the owners, the trainers,
or the jockeys who are accountable? For, of many of the
cases I allude to, it may be certainly said that unscrupulous
intention appears evident in them. Ought not offenceB
against Turf morality to be met with equal seventy in one
case as in another? or is even-handed justice to be ignored,
and are some favored people to be allowed immunity from
penalties which are scrupulously exacted from others.

THE SELLING PLATE.

One of the plague-spots of racing is assuredly the "selling
plate." Races of this kind have been for years past nothing
else than a medium of investment for inveterate and desperate
gainblera. Such men may enter a horse worth £1,000 or
more, to be Bold for £50, then back him to win £4,000 or
£5.000, and eventually buy him back for a Bmall advance on
the selling price. There is no fear of losing the horse, for few
trainers, jockeys, or owners would care to displeane a great
man on the Turf by refusing to comply with his modest de-
sires in such a case, or by opposing him in regard to the re-
purchase. That this is often done there cm be no denbt,
and I am one of those who think that it ought to be very
sternlv repressed.

The" best remedy I can suggest is the application of an old
regulation, or one of similar intention. Thus: let any
owner who has entered a hoiae for a selling plate have the
power to cUim any other horse also entered for the same, at
the value of the ttakes and price of entry, at any time after
entry iB made until an hour before the fixture for the firBt
race of the day. I believe this would effectually check the
malpractices complained of, if such you can term the evil.

READY MOSEY BETTING.

Here is another evil of the turf, that of ready-money bet-
ting. No energetic endeavors have been made to put down
the Bcandal. Yet no one can doubt the power of the Jockey
Club to crush it out of existence any moment it shall choose
to apply itself to the task. List-keepers, ready-money bet-
tore, and a whole army of welshers, many of them well-known
to racegoers, are permitted to ply their nefarious and unlaw-
ful calling openly, receiving the tacit sanction of the author-
ities, by whom also tbey seem to have every facility afforded
them of practising cheating and lying — at any rate, no ob-
stacle is put forward to prevent their so acting; and this on
every Tacecourse in the kingdom may be seen now, doDe as
openly as it was before the Act of Parliament was passed to
suppress it. What are the police about that they wink at

such derelictions of duty? And where are the law officers
who control them? If a man picks another man's pocket of
a pound he becomes amenable to the law, and receives pun-
ishment when caught. A welsber robs net one man but fifty
or a hundred of various sums, and large ones too, but he
meets with no restriction and is allowed to rob on with im-
punity. Is it post ible that sash scandals should be suffered
to exist in broad daylight, and allowed in our midst without
even an attempt by the officers of the law or managers of race
meetiogB to uphold right and justice and repress the evil? If
card-sharpers, thimble-riggers, and fortune-tellers, besides
others, plying their unlawful trades, have been successfully
dealt with, why cannot the ready-money bettors and their
abominable clique be as easily and completely put down?
Bat the enactments and mandates of the authorities have
been set at nought and despised, aud the announcement
made on all race cards "that no illegal betting will be allowed
on the course" is disregarded.

OWNERS BETTING AGAINST THEIR OWN HORSES.

The next great evil I desire to allude to is that of owners
laying against their own horses, whether tbey intend to run
them or not. In past times immense sums have been got of
favorites for certain great races by their owners in this way,
and although the practice has always been condemned by the
majority of owners, as it has been by the Jockey Club, still
the guilty go unpunished. Is it not carried on now, and fre-
quently, too, while nothing beyond a wail from unlucky
backers, or a slight remonstrance in other quarters, ib ever
heard of the transaction? Such tricky ways of getting,
possibly, thousands of pounds out of a horse should sorely
be repressed, and for this purpose something more is required
than mere caution or reproof, at which culprits simply laugh
and go on as before. Fair justice should be levelled at one
class as well us at another, in which I think that all right-
minded, honest, and independent men will agree, whether
they belong to the Jockey Club or whether they do not.

REFORM THE JOCKEY CLUB!

Quis cuatodiet custodes? The Jockey Club is the body that
mast reform tbe turf, but first and foremost the Jockey Club
itself must be reformed. Mr. Day says:

If we are ever to effect a radical change for the better we
must begin at the top, and not at the bottom. Members of
the Jockey Clab are, as a body, intelligent, high-minded and
honest, yet truth compels me to add that there may be among
them, now or hereafter, as there have been formerly, some
who have failed to meet their proper obligations to trainer or
jockey, and who would poseibiy be left penniless if they paid
their debts. Yet such individuals continue to ran horses in
other people's names — in spite of the prohibition — as often
as they care to do so. More than that, some of these noble
sportsmen bet and lose and omit to pay the bookmaker they
have betted with, well knowing that he, poor man, dare not
proclaim the fact, however large his loss, for fear of losing
the custom of their acquaintance in the great world. I ask
candidly if such men are fitted to act as members of the
Jockey Club?

ELECT THE MEMBERS FOR THREE YEARS.

Let ub see, under the present system, a member of the
Jock=y Club, having been once elected, sits for life. It seems
to matter very little, too, what character he may happen to
acquire on the tarf or elsewhere. If that be bad, he is not
brought to book for it, but may remain, so long as he lives,
in fall enjoyment of the rights and privileges of membership.
The system 1b not a good one io any way, but when it be-
comes a cover for malpractices it is assuredly to be regarded
as bad. The remedy for it might be very easily found and
carried into effect. I would suggest that members of the
Jockey Club should be elected every three years, thus recon-
stituting their body triennially. Until some such measure is
adopted, the best efforts of the Jockey Club for the good of
the turf will continue to be nullified by the votes or conduct
of some who belong to it.

OTHER INTERNAL REFORMS.

I should think it must be evident that a meeting ought not
to be held unless a fourth or a third of the whole body of
members are present. Then again, open voting on legisla-
tive or jadioial questions recommends itself as a salutary im-
provement to the secret method now followed. Also, the
dignity and usefulness of tbe Jockey Club would be vastly
augmented if the press was admitted to its deliberations, es-
pecially when any important case, interesting generally to
the turf public, was before it. The more thoroughly such
matters are ventilated the betterfor us all. We know the
precept that "It iB easier to teach twenty than to be one of
the twenty to follow what is tanght." Aod as the whole rac-
ing world looks to the Jockey Club for some authorative
guidance, it is clear that publicity would be of advantage. Its
investigations of doubtful proceedings would then be held in
the light of day, and must necessarily result in a marked im-
provement of tne whole morale of racing.

INTRODUCE THE PARIB MUTUAL,

Again, 1 should like to see such a wise step taken as the
introduction of the Paris Mutual at all race meetings, with
the consent and under the sanction of the Jockey Club.
Were that accomplished, it would effectually do away with
some great evils, among them that of owners laying agnnst
their own horses. Probably nothing else will ever abolish
that pernicious practice. Under this system laying commis-
sions could not well be executed, since wagering would
mostly be restricted to betting on the morning of the race-
day, while investments on the course coald only be made in
the Paris Mutual. Thus it would not be so practicable to
make a big Bum by laying againBt any particular horse, and
so that crtffty expedient, with all the dishonesty it involves,
would not be resorted to. Thus, too, an owner could get,
what it is very difficult for him to get as things are — a fair
price against any of his horses, and the publio would be
equally benefited.

how it works.
To Bhow more clearly how this system works, I will give
another illustration. There was one little handicap at New-
market last year, I remember, for which twenty horses ran.
A certain bookmaker made a £3.000 book on the event, and
as no one happened to back the winuer, he won the whole
sum. The outside price was twenty to one, and ten to one
would have been the starting- price paid. Now, if this trans-
action had been conducted by the Paris Mutual, Dad any one
put a sovereign on the winner, he would have got, under the
circumstances, the £3.000 less £150 for the costs of working
the machine, or 5 per cent., which I believe is the amount
deducted in all cases from the winnings of any locky backer.
Tbe Americans, with their usual qirckness at initiating
improvements, have adopted the P*ir h Mutual, and no have
driven the betting-men off tbe field. France is rioing thes+me
thing, and is reaping tbe Bame advantages. In India, too,
the new system has been introduced with the like effect.

The Paris Mutual, or some scheme like it, appears to me
our only refuge from one of the worst ev.ls of racing. It

has proved eo benefficial elsewhere that I do not see how it
could fail of like effect here; and it would bring aboutdue ob-
servance of the laws against gambling — habitual infraciiou of
which is one of the most obvious and obnoxious features of
every race-meeting. What we can do, however, and what we
must do, some day or other, is to protect the backer from
being fleeced, as well as to divert hiB losses to the use and
benefit of the turf itself instead of to the maintenance of a
class of individuals who do not contribute in any way to its
support, and to many of whom can only be described, mildly,
as unscrupulous plunderB nf the ignorant and weak-minded.
Risk of mischances would be avoided entirely, since the
backer can draw bis winnings immediately after the race is
over, and on the spot. Surely this, among so many advantages
already enumerated cannot be regarded aB unimportant, and
investB this mode of wagering with an impartial fairness tbat
can be claimed for no other method of betting.

The Vallejo Race Track.
War has not broken out between Vallejo and Napa as yet*
but there is a strong inclination on the part of the Vallejoitps
to religiously keep away from the fair "which is to be held at
Napa this year. A reporter of the Breeder and Sportsman
waB made conversant with the matter on the occasion of a
short visit there several days ago. According to the story
heard, it seems that when the District Agricultural Associa-
tion was formed the Directors agreed that the fairs should be
held alternately between Vallejo and Napa. In accordance
with this understanding, the fair of 1887 was held at Vallejo
and that of 1888 at Napa. When the Directors met this year
it was decided to hold it again at Napa, and now the Vallejo
end of the district are breathing threats of vengeance against
one of the Directors, whom they claim has betrayed his
trust. Of course, the Napa side of the question was not
heard, and that may bear a different aspect.

However, tbe citizans of Vallejo have had several meetings
to raise money and build a race track of their own, with such
success that the matter is well under way, and undoubtedly
the course will be finished within a few weeks. Dr. Trull,
the owner of the land, made concessions to the Vallejo
Jockey Clab, and they raised in the neighborhood of ©1,800,
with which to make the course. Mr. Frank Simonton made
several surveys as the ground was of a rolling nature, and it
became necessary to make excavations on the back stretch,
while the side on which the homestretch is located has to be
raised considerably. About 16,000 cubic yards of dirt will
have to be handled, the cost being much more than was orig-
inally deemed necessary. The club had plenty of spirit and
grit, bo they secured the services of "William Carter as Super-
intendent, who started in at once to complete his work, ably
assisted by Messrs. Smith and Connolly. The Executive
Committee appointed by tbe club consist of William McGill,
Thomas Smith, John Collander, E. McLees and John Red-
dan, all of whom have worked indefatigably to further the
movement. In grading the track, quite a ledge of rock was
discovered, which would have required considerable blasting
to remove, so the lines were altered, and now the track is 60
feet further East than at first intended. The money sub-
scribed has been all expended, and it is found tbat $400
more will be required to finish the work.

The stables and fencing are furtber advanced than the
track proper, they being under the personal supervision of
Dr. Trull, who has kept at his part of the business unceas-
ingly. The following letter from the Secretary of the Jockey
Club would indicate that the lacking amount had been col-
lected and that the work would be finished in short order:

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: The Vallejo Jockey
Club will hold its fall meeting October 8th to 12th. The
track is fast nearing completion, and the stalls and grand
Btand are being rapidly pushed forward. We expect to have
the finest track in the State. I will forward oar list as soon
as possible. Yours truly, F. *W. Trull, Sec.

Vallejo, Cal., Jan. 29, 1S89.

Remedy for Bark Bound aod Gummy Trees.
In all orchards, whether large or small trees, some are
invariably found of a stunted growth, making poor headway
and finally "gumming." That is, the sap exudes from differ-
ent portions of the tree, through tbe bark, and as soon as it is
exposed to the air hardens. If neglected and allowed to
remain long it means the slow decline of the tree, though it
may make a slight growth each season and bear a little
scrubby fruit, but finally dying, sometimes after holding out
for years, of no earthly profit to the orchardist, remaining at
about the same size and spoiling the appearance of the
orchard. When the leaves of the tree have a yellow, faded
tinge and a rather unhealthy appearance in tbe bark it is
beginning to be bark bound. If by examination you can
find no other cause, a gopher may have girdled the tree, it
may have been barked, or it may have been planted in al-
kali soil; these causes will all make the tree have a withered
look about it, and of course are outside of the real bind-
ing of tbe bark. The gumming is not the first symp-
tom of disease; not until the bark is so tight that tbe
ready flow of the sap is obstructed in various parts of the
tree does the sap burst through the bark. This is the time
when the tree is generally suspected to be diseased, but by a
little close observation anyone can detect the trouble before
this gumming commences. When trees arc found looking
this way take a knife, holding it firmly, and slit the baik on
tbe north side of tbe trunk from the ground up to where the
tree branches, making tbe incision through the bark, and not
cutting into tbe heart of the tree. This allows it to spread,
thus liberating the sap all around the trunk and making b
way for it to eventnally distribute itself over the tr^
ever needed. It will then stop gnmming if not too
With very bad trees it is recommended tbat they 1
and replaced. If the tree is gumming badly and is in
where it is not desirable to dig it up, Bcrape away tl ■
with a knife down to tbe bark, then thoroughly cover
grafiog wax. This has been found an excellent r
used in connexion with the slitting.

Several of the Eastern papers say that Mr. Bonner will,
after this year, turn Maud S. out to grass, and in spring
breed her to Anteeo.

Chas. H. Eigan, secretary of tbe Sonoma and Marin Agri
oultural Society has resigned and "W. P. Edwards, of Penn's
Grove has been elected to the office.

The St. Louis Republic, speaking of the Baggage-Red light
fiasco, says there are too many gentlemen and too few
horsemen in the bos just now.

L. TJ. Shippee last week bought from Chinn & Morgan
the yearling colt Gibraltar (Longfellow— Carrie Phillips by
Pat Molloy.) The price paid was $2500.

Ab Stemler is at present in Kentucky; he will bring back
the yearlings purchased by Mr. Shippee in the spring and
probably will buy a few more while there.

E. J. Baldwin's Caliente won a well earned victory from
Come-to Taw at Chicago on the Fourth. The time, l:59|,
was good, considering tbe condition of the track.

Mr. Corbitt will not Btart any of his stallions in races this
year, as he declines to trot against mares and geldings, and
there aie no stallion races in which be can enter*

Jimmy Dustin last Saturday drove Almont Patchen a mile
in 2: 18A, and shortly after Maggie E. went the full mile in
2:19. Evidently the veteran's hand has not lost its cunning.

Jim L. 2:20i, owned by James Linscottof Watsonville, and
DaiBy Neal a three-year-old, belonging to W. S. Neal, ar-
rived in Santa Rosa this week, to be prepared for the circuit<

Shamrock's back weakened last Wednesday, and it was
decided to take him back to Pleasanton. Had it not been
for this he would surely have gone inside 2:20 this fall, and
may posBibly yet.

Io addition to Chico, Marysville and the Willows having
racing meetings this fall. Red Bluff is also competing for
public favor, and will offer an attractive programme to those
who delight in horse racing.

A curious coincidence occured last week. Drizzle, the
favorite, won the t;vo-year-old event at Sheepshead, and a
British Drizzle at the same time was winning the North-
umberland Plate in England.

The three minute class at Chico 1b going to bring out a very
large field of horses, many of whom are fast, and local excite-
ment is at a high pitch. Bets are being made that 2:26 willbe
knocked higher than a kite.

F. A. Sprague, of Butte City, Colusa Co., has secured the
pool selling privileges for the Chico Fair. Fred is an old hand
at "how much am I offered for choice," and as he knows
every one, will probably do a very large business.

Matt Allen is weeding out his stable. San Simeon is turned
out; W. Meaney has taken True Briton and Peach Bloom to
educate across the sticks, and Sir Launcelot (Sir Modred —
Faustina), on account of temper, has been added to the list.

The Golden Gate Fair Association give free purses in all
the ranning races at Oakland. This innovation should
inBure a splendid entry from all over the State, and with a
prospect of large fields everyone is sure to visit the fair.

All horsemen must remember that the entries for the
Fresno S20.000 purse clases on the loth inst. Mr. Baldwin
has worked with a vim at tbe Eastern meetings and it is
confidently expected that he will have several entries in his
pocket when he returns next week.

Last Saturday, at the Oakland race track, J. C. Simpson's
Ralhbone beat Tom William's Bryant W., a dash of a half
mile for $100 and a dinner. Spanish Charles rode the winner.
A new match was made for Saturday (the thirteenth) $200 a
side, 120 pounds each three quarters of a mile.

Tbe trotter. Bonanza, is likely to verify my predictions be-
fore long, it is only a few week ago that I said he would trot
close to "20" this year, and he is fast approaching that mark
in exercise, for eaily in the week be covered the full
mile ii 2:24 J, the last half being completed in 1:09.

On Tuesday at the Bay District Track, Fleet worked three
heat«, the best being in 2:34. On the same day Hickok with
Gracie S. showed the way once round the traok to Bonanza,
Little Hope and Griffin's green pacer, the mare finishing a
length in front, in 2:28.

California horses are showing their mettle, El Rio Rey in
the West and Salvator in the East. With top weight the
handsome bou of Prince Charlie after a hard struggle with
the light weighted 'fenny ]UBt, and only just, landed the
Realization Stakes.

A gentleman in the train offered to lend his friend a book,
"How to Win at the Races," which he said contained a sys-
tem that has never been beat; when Badge won he had
some cbicken Balad and a quart of extra dry at the oourse;
when he came home after Vivid's defeat he had some beef
and beans and a cop of coffee in town.

On Tuesday, at Eureka, the Introduction Stake was won
by Welcome, Brady second, Applause third. Three ran.
Time, 1:49. The District Trot was won by Waluteio (Diraclor
dam by Eltc'.ioneer) in three straight heats, 2:39.1, 2:40$, 2:41$.
The Novelty race was woo, the qu irter in 0:2U, by Sleepy
Dick; tbe half by Lida Ferguson, three-quarter and mile,
1:49, by Susie S. Hotspur and Stoneman also ran. A full
report by oar special commissioner will appear next week.

Mr. Salisbury has just returned from a trip East.

On the 28th of Jane at Charter Oak Park, Hartford, J. H.
Goldsmith's Gean Smith, trotted the third heat in 2:16}-, the
fastest mile of 1889, in a race. He is a black gelding by
Dauntless.

Sorrento was very fractious when McCarty started to ship
him from Chicago. He kicked everything in the car into
pieces, so Dan took him out and sent him the next day.

James Gilmore, proprietor of the new Aintree trotting
track, near Liverpool, England, says it is the fac simile of
the Bay District track here, as fsr as he can judge from pic-
tures of the track wnich he has seen.

The Lob Angeles Polo Club, at a meting last week decided
to hold a steeplechase meeting at Agricultural Park, shortly
after the fair. They will have a varied programme consisting
of cross country, Jeticks and flat races, the latter for half bred
horses.

The public has Buffered from a queer set of judges all
around this spring. At Latonia they jumped out of tbe
stand to get a drink, and never saw the race for a prinoipal
stake. In St. Louis they couldn't see anything, and in
Chicrgo they are blind.

Grant Parrish's Referee has stolen the picture of Racine
from the Breeder and Sportsman and palms it off on its
readers as a likeness of Dan Honig's "Cartoon." ThiB may be
considered a smart piece of work for a Chicago man to do,
but it brands him as a thief nevertheless.

It will be noticed by referring to the advertisement of the
Willows Agricultural Society that they have changed their
dates so as not to clash with Napa. This will enable those
who desire to make the northern circuit to appear first at
Napa, from whence they can go direot to Willows, Chico.
Marysville, etc.

Yum Yum made her first appearance at Monmouth on
Thursday, but although a Btrong favorite in the books, was
ignominiouBly beaten. Senator Hearst's Anaconda also
started in a race the same day, and although heavily backed,
waB never in the running. It rained very hard, making the
track a perfect quagmire.

J. H. Outhwaite, of Sierra Madre, Cal., has purchased
from W. H. MoCurdy, of Cleveland, Ohio, the two-year-old
bay filly Biscari, by Direotor:dam Bicara (damofPancoastand
Mayenne damof Cresendo), by Harold; second dam Belle
(dam of Belmont and McCurdy's Hambletonian, 2:26J) by
Mambrino Chief.

It seems that after all, Irene although blind, is by no
means scrub bred. Her sire Longtime is by Melbourne Jr.
out of a Wardance mare; her dam is young Beulah by imp.
Rapture out of a mare by Falcon (son of Lexington). Some
of our prominent breeders would not object to tbe Melbourne
and double Lexington cross with (through Rapture) the Or-
lando blood to give pace.

At last the great Spokane has had to lower his colors to
the great Kentucky favorite, Proctor Knott. It was in the
Sheridan Btakea at Chioago on Thursday and in the presence
of 15,000 spectators. The track was not fast, still the mile
aud a quarter was made in 2:13) . In the betting Spokane
was the choice at six to five, Proctor Knott being quoted at
two to one.

Sensation has been sent East, and it is currently reported,
prior to being shipped tbs grey gelding trotted a quarter in
an even thirty seconds. This may be true, but I very much
doubt it. However, he must have shown great speed or they
would not have sent him to compete with the cracks of the
"big circuit."

Axtell, the celebrated three-year-old son of William L.,
last week trotted on tbe half mile track at Cedar Rapids (la.),
a full mile in 2:21$. This though a wonderful performance, is
not the best time ever made on a half mite track as several of
our comtemporaries state, for Jay-Eye-See, in 1887, trotted in
2:I5£.

If the stallions now in training for the National Stallion
Race at the Breeder's meeting next fall keep to their present
promise as indioated by the speed developed in their work,
Stamboul will have to look to his laurels, and may find
another of his sex to drive him out without calling the ser-
vices of Hickok's thoroughbred team into requisition.

Dick Havey has been putting Fleet, (yearling record 2:36)
through her paces this wetk and the youngster is develop-
ing a great deal of speed. Four heats were given her on
TueBday as follows: 2:37, 2:34, 2:33 and 2:32. The last half
of tbe last mile was negotiated in 1:12 and tbe last quarter in
34 seconds. It is jast possible that Mr. Valenein will lower
both the yearling and two-year-old record in 1889.

A short while ago, at the West Side Park raceB, Chicago,
Ed. Corrigan won aflat and a hurdle race with the same
horse, Winslow, the flat race being 1-16 miles, which Wins-
low won in 2:02$, with 101 pounds up, and the handicap
hurdle race, one mile, over four hurdles, in 1:59 j, WinBlow
carrying 145 pounds. Winslow is a five-year-old brown geld-
ing by Ten Broeck, out of imported Queen Maud, and his
performances are the only oneB of the kind on record in
American turf annals.

"You can't tell me anylhing about a nerved horse," said a
well-known turfman a few days ago. "Here's Hanover,
whom nearly everybody thought was only a sprinter, going
out and making a show of Firenzi in a mile and a half race,
and to-morrow he may not he able to run a little bit." It is
true. The great horse is so uncertain in bis performances
that many fear to baok him, but he waa a great horse on
June 2Stb, and be could readily have tied or even beaten the
record had he been pressed. No 'wonder Flrenzi's jookey,
Garrison, who is very epigrammatio at timee, said he wanted
a lasso to catch him on the homestretch.

D. Scott Quinton left Trenton, New Jersey, the begining of
this week with a Btring of borseB, tbe property of Marcus
Daly & Co. He will campaign them in Montana and Cali-
fornia this season. Tn the string are Favonia 2:15; St.
Patrick, parer. 2:23.1; Prodigal b h three-year-old fall brother
to Patron 2:l4i; Mascot b h two-year-old (Stamboul— Min-
neh iha); Nadjy b m three-year-old (Stamboul — Lady Graves):
Stamholla b f out-year-old (Stamboul — Fanny Belmont); Vera
b f one-year-old (Stamboul— Zinfandel) and MJbb Julia b m
Be ven-y ears-old (Volunteer — Young Selene.)

August Belmont was very much elated over his grand vic-
tory in the Suburban, and after the race among other
presents made by him was a diamond pin, value $2500. Mr.
Belmont is said to be a heavy bettor; he followed Lord Fal-
mouth's precedent in giving his trainer's better half a pretty,
present. The well known English racing breeder and owner
never made a bet in his life, bar that occasion when he had
six pence waeered with his trainer's wife against his own
horse who won and the successful owner procured a new
coin (six pence) from the Bank of England and had it set in
diamonds.

In describing tbe finish of the Derby the Chicago Tribune
says: Then Sorrento challenged for second place. Quickly
Geouring that while thousands were cheering the apparent
winner, he challenged for the lead. Kiley gathered all his
energies, held up his colt's head and laid the lash into him.
He swerved under the stinging punishment and swung toward
the inside while Sorrento waa gaining at every stride not-
withstanding that Taral was making a tired finish. Strength-
ening the favorite out again Kiley once more applied his
"persuader," and by a splendid piece of ridine landed a tired
horse a winner by three parts of a length. He rolled badly
in the last 107 yards, and only a masterhand could have kept
him going. A vigorous finisher such as Murphy, McLaugh-
lin or Hamilton would have won with Sorrento.

Oar local breeders owe a vote of thanks to Mr. Marcn
Daly, of Anaconda, Montana, for setting an example to olhe
horseoien outside, as well as inside, of our State lines, in
making entries at the Pacific Coast Breeder's meeting. If
there be anything in blood lines, Mr. Daly will certainly
come among ns "well heeled." His three-year-old Hattie D.
is by Electioneer 125, out of Maple, {now dead, and own
sister to Woodnnr, 2:16£, and Manon, 2:21), by Nutwood,
2:18$, 600. In Favonia, 2:15, by Wedgewood, 2:19. dam
Fadette by Alex's Abdallah lb, he has both blood and devel-
oped Bpeed sufficient to make things exceedingly lively for
the very fleetest of our local horses. We have heard it inti-
mated that some of oar horsemen are already inclined to
show the white feather, but have every reason to discredit
the report. Stamboul, 2:143, Sable Wilkes (three-year-old
record) 2:1S Lot Sloeum, 2:17?,, Lillie Stanley. 2:l7i, Maggie
E., 2:19$, Alfred S., 2:21, and possibly others will certainly
not allow any Eastern flyer to throw a gauntlet at their feet
and on their own dunghill, without taking up the challenge.

The horse Bhows at New York and BoBton have proved a
grand success. What is to prevent a timilar exhibition being
given at San Francisco, say in January next, under the
auspices of the Breeder's Association? Such an exhibition
every year, followed by a combination sale, properly adver-
tised and managed, and in which all horses entered for sale
should be sold without reserve or by bidding, would certainly
draw a host of purchasers from the East, and would give our
smaller breeders an opportunity not now within their reach.
the prices received htre might not be as high as those
received in New York, but on the other hand the expense
and risk of transportation to tbe EaBt would be transferred
to tbe purchaser. It seems plausible to suppose that Western
and Southern purchasers would rather uuy here and Bhip
direot to their farms, than buy animals at New York but a
few days off the cars after an overland trip, to re-ship a dis-
tance from one-third to one-half tbe way back again.

And now the telegraph flashes the news that the three
year-old record of Sable Wilkes, 2:IS, is a thing of the past,
and Axtell sits on the throne with 2:15J to his credit. "The
king is dead, long live the king" applies with eqnal force to
either rulers of nations, or flyerB on the turf. In this partic-
ular case the family has not ceased to reign for tbe blood
lines of the latest wonder is so closely allied to those *f the
lately deposed monarch, that Mr, Corbitt may well feel grat-
ified that the record has not left the family entirely, as tbe
following 'will show; Axtell, by William L. (full brother to
Guy Wilkes, 2:15}), dam Lou by Mambrino Boy. The heat
was trotted at the Minnehaha Driving Park, Minneapolis,
last Tuesday, the trial being to beat the tn re e-y ear-old record.
After a warming up, the word was given and away went
Axtell to the quarter in 0:33, the half In 1:08, tbe three-
quarters in 1:40, and the mile finished in 2:15£. The tele-
gram stateB that there was a Btrong wind and heavy atmos-
phere.

While most of our local fairs have yearling district races,
there is not a single instance of a yearling stake or purse
open to all. This year there are half a dozej yearlings at
least that are said to be wonderB. L. J. Rose has one who
has already gone a quarter in 39 seconds; Palo Alto has two
who are expected to beat 2.30 before 1S90; Dick Havey has
the crack Sidney yearling, who has shown a quarter in 38
seconds. By the wav, he is not Valensin's property, having
been sold some time ago to the Waters Stock Farm, Wiscon-
sin Mr. ValeBin himself has at Pleasanton a yearling who
trotted a half in 1.20 a short while ago, and the bay yearliug
belonging to the late Mr. Giddingi should, judging from the
Petaluma reports, go very close to any of these previously
mentioned. Would it not be a grand chance for some of the
trotting associations to distinguish themselves by giving a
purse for the youngsters? Five would be almost sure to en-
ter at the lowest estimate, and with the probability of a race
of this kind, quality is better than quantity.

Now that we have touched upon this question of exhibition
and sale, it behooves us to particularly impress upon all
breeders of trotting horses the necessity of registering at
leaBt their Btandard bred stock in Wallace's Trotting Register.
Eastern purchasers will pay from twenty-five to fifty and
sometimes one hundred per cent, more (qualities being equal)
for registered than for non-registered stock. We hear some
breeders say, "More fools they!" Well, in some instances
they are, in others the compliment (?) might be very forcibly
boomeranged. These non-registering breeders, will any of
them exchange a twenty dollar gold coin for twenty silver
dollars? If, however, they were offered twenty pieces of
Bilver weighing twenty-five per cent, more than the silver
dollars in exohange for their gold, they would hesitate for a
while and conolude by advising the seller to take his silver to
the mint and get it coined, or, in other words, get a certifi-
cate of correctness attached to it. To the mint it goes, when
lo! and behold! it returns light in weight, yet worth more
money, and the breeder freely exchanges it for its face value.
The Trotting Register simply stamps its certificate of genu-
ineness on the pedigree of the animal offered, and the would-
be purchaser freely pays his money in the strength of that
certificate of breeding; but for lack of conclusive proof will
allow a better formed and better bred, but uncertified and
unregistered animal, to go to somebody elst for half the price
he haB jnst paid for the other. "More fool he," it is true,
but how about "the other fool" who saved the two-dollar
registration fee and got only half price for hia horse?

Rancho Cotate-

rj| "When in Petaluma two weeks ago it was my great pleasure
% o meet Wilfred Page, Esq., secretary of the P. C. T. H. B. A.,
,E* o whom more than any one person the "coast" is indebted
^ or the association which bears thesis initials. While many
t-» )romineut horsemen had vainly attempted in the years gone
■ in >y to establish just such a bodv as is now in existence, still
t remained for Mr. Page to stir up the trotting horse breeders
lce A the coast to the importance of united action by a series of
*5 mllant letters which were written for and published in the
p Jeeedee and Sportsman. Mr. Joseph Cairn Simpson ably
jjj leconded the efforts of Mr. Page, and it is to them that the
aH iredit is due for the excellence of the organization which is
-:•■ low before the public, catering for patronage, with a pro-
?T ;ramme that is second to none in the country.
i An argent invitation having been extended by the pro-
nto jrietor of the Rancho Cotate to visit the home of Mortimer
?t 2:27) and Eclectic, advantage was taken of the opportunity,
:> md a seat being vacant in the buggy we were soon speeding

iway behind a good roadster in the direotion of the farm.
■' * There are many beautiful drives in various sections of Cal-
Le fornia, but it would he hard to beat the one from Petalnma
J o Rancho Cotate on a beautiful summer afternoon, the great
gIj ields of hay, wheat, barley and mammoth vineyards stretch-
]"> ng to the Sonoma mountains on the East, while the same
7 san be seen to the westward extending to the low range of
!i soaBt bills, which is the protection against heavy fogs for this
:!■ 3eaven-blest country. Here and there are noticed the com-
[>! ortable farm-houses, indicative of the prosperous farmer,
■ "" *hile herds of fine cattle are frequently seen browsing on the
lit jative grasses, with which the side hills are covered so
■i .bundantly . We only leave the Petaluma Valley to enter the
^ me uamed after Santa Rosa, and again a grand panoramic
"4 new is presented to the eye, many thousands of acres, all in
n i high state of cultivation, being constantly presented, each
urn in the road bringing a different kaleidoscopic view to the
1 writer who was making the trip for the first time. A short
1 jistory of the Rancho was given by my entertaining com-
a janion, as we whiled away the passing minutes, and from him
c- ' learned that Dr. Page (the father of Wilfred) bought
^ 'Cotate** in 1849 from Mr. Larkin, the estate containing
'-', ibout 17,000 acres, the price paid being one dollar per acre-
:. it was not until the beginning of the "sixties" that the Doc-
r ,or left South America, to look at the land which he had
S xmght "(insight unseen," and which far exceeded his expec-
Q ations. It is less than twenty years ago since the family
p ;ame to California to settle, but in the interim great herdB of
J *attle have been raised and sold, each new purchase of graded
" yullfl exceeding in quality those previously bought, until now
;ome of the best-bred cattle in the State are annually sold
rom the Rancho Cotate. The same attention was paid to
;he flocks of sheep, a gradual improvement going on from
year to year. Horses had never entered much into the cal-
mlations of Dr. Page, but on his Bon assuming the manage-
ment of the estate a careful inspection waB made to discover,
f possible the best class of carriage horses necessary for the
•eneral market. The more the matter was gone into, the
nore clearly did Mr. Wilfred Page learn that the highest type
if the trotter was the very best carriage horse for the open
narket, with the chances in favor of the intelligent breeder
■ettiDg at times an animal of rare value among the many that
vould be bred on a place of the proportion that he ultimately
lesires to have. With this idea firmly implanted in his
tiicd, the nest step was to secure a stallion second to none.
3e sent to a large number of breeding farms for catalogues,
tud finally selected from the printed statements sent him two
if which he thought either would suit; so a trip was taken to
Palo Alto to make a final decision. Horses of all sorts, sizes
tnd conditions were shown him, but the two he had picked
mt seemed better than any of the others, so it ended in Mr.
Page buying both Mortimer and Eclectic.

But here we are at the stables, and the history must be
leferred until later, as Mrs. Page and four little ones are
tnxiouBly awaiting on the stoop of the large mansion to
welcome papa back from town. Introductions and a cordial
eception followed, making the writer feel perfectly at home
.vithin a moment or two. During a pleasant evening the
itory of Mr. Page's was resumed.

After obtaining possession of the two stallions the next
itep was to secure the proper kind of mares to cross with the
Electioneer blood. In this all important matter due care and
lonsideratiou was paid to the teachings of tnose who had I
teen in the business for years. Last year Electic was too \
'oung to do stud duty, and Mortimer was only given a few
nares, as his owner wanted to give him a record. Admont by
Piedmont dam Addie was the chief of the harem in 1888, and
■ight royal marks has he left as to his prodactive powers. As
t appro iched the "wee sma hours" we were still talking
lorse, I the attentive listener, and my host doing most of
;he talking, something I was very willing to submit to, for
.here are few better posted men on pedigrees in the State
;han Wilfred Page, the descendants of Nutwood being one of
Mb best themes, something that few Californians can talk
j intelligently about, owing to the loose manner in which that
ireat stallion's book was kept while doing stud service on
; the coast. When good-night was said I almost wished it was
oiorniDg, that the conversation might be renewed, for I had
passed an agreeable evening and learned a great deal from
cny well informed host.

go into the beauties of each individual, but the following will
give a fair idea of the stock now on hand, simply as a nucleus
to what I hope may some day be one of the principal breeding
farms in the State.

Belle S. is a two-year old by Anteeo, dam by Grey McClel-
lan, he by Gen. McClellan. Belle is only a- new comer to the
ranch, and too young to show produce.

Adaline, eight years old. b m, by Ethan Clay, he by Henry
Clay 507, dam Fleety (full sister to Alert, 2:24£) by Ensign
2:28$. Has yearling, bay filly, Hesperine by Hesperian
3203".

Bellasa, six years old, by Elector, 2:21}, he by Electioneer,
dam by a son of California Smuggler, out of Snsie Clifton by
Werner's Rattler. Filly foal at side by Guy WilkeB.

Carrie, eight years old, br m, by Mohawk Chief, dam
Xellie by Ben Franklin. Filly foal of 1889, is Mohadma by
Admont 5349, by Piedmont, 2:17J, dam Addie, the dam of
Woodnut, 2:16$, and Manon, 2:21. Carrie has a yearling
filly called Mohair by Mambrino Wilkes, sire of Gua Wilkes.
Clara B., eight years old, b m, by Nutwood 600 (2:18^), dam
Jennie by Roadhonse's St. Lawrence. Her produce is a black
filly Reinette, three years old, also owned by Mr. Page, her
Bire being Dexter Prince by Kentucky Prince, sire of Guy,
2:12, and ten others iu the 2:30 list. The dam of Dexter
Prince is Lady Dexter, fall sister to Dexter, 2:17^, and Dic-
tator, the sire of Jay-Eye-See, 2:10, and Director, 2:17.

Eve, b m, by Arthurton 265, sire of Arab, 2:15, dam Old
Lady by David Hill Jr.

Halloween, ten years old, b m by Satellite 2500, damLorena
(dam of Valient, 2:28$), by Volunteer, sire of St. Julien,
2:11}, etc. Halloween has a bay filly at her side by Admont
5349.

Ida Walker, sixteen years old, ch m, by Curtis' Hamil-
tonian 539, who has four in the 2:30 list, dam by B=rthuue.
sire of Sidi-Hamet. Her last year's colt was Bold at the New
York combination sale for $1,100. Her present foal is a black
horse colt by Sable Wilkes.

Lorilee, six years old, b m, by Glasgow, son of MarkBman
(sire of Misty Morning, 2:21), dam Zanobia by Rysdyk's
Hambletonian 10. Lorilee is a bay horse colt by Admont
5349. This colt is a magnificent youngster, and would draw
admiration from the veriest novice in horse rl-sh. It is no
wonder that he is such a fine one, as his blood lints are o^
the best. The following tabulation gives the reader an idea
of his breeding:

sucking bay colt by Admont 5349.

Minnie Allen, 8 years old, ch m by Arthurton 365, dam
Lady Allen, (a full BiBter to the dam of Sweetbriar 2:26*) by
Geo. M. Patchen Jr. 31. A bay filly by Le Grande 2868, is
running at the side of Minnie Allen.

Sallie, 9 years old, b m by Mohawk Chief, dam Bonnie-
Sallie has a bay filly by Admont 5349.

Sunny Slope Belle, black mare, by the Moor 870, sire of
Beautiful Bells 2:29}, Sable, Sultan 2:24, etc. Mr. Page has
a yearling horse colt, out of Sunny Slope Belle, by Le Grande.
This colt is at present in the hands of Mr. Hickok at the
Bsy District Track, who thinks very highly of him.

Emma Steitz, is an old ch mare, who was celebrated in her
day for her great Bpeed, and has produced several fine foals
two of which are the property of Mr. Page. The first is Reka
Patchen, by Alexander 490, and she has a grand filly by her
side, by Mortimer 2:27, he by Electioneer 1:25. The second
of the produce of Emma Steitz is Patile Patch, a full siBter to
Reka Patchen. She has a ch filly by Admont 5349. Emma
Steitz has a ch suckling colt, by Admont 5349. Peep-O-
Day, the two-year-old Dawn oolt, which Orrin Hickok is train-
ing, is out of this iii ire, and has demonstrated nis ability to
get within the magic circle whenever his owner desire to give
him a record.

Lupe, a fine appearing grey mare is by imp. Mohamed
(Arabian), dam a Black Hawk mare. Lupe, to the cover of
Alexander 490, has produced Lalla and Laleli, and has now
by her side, a beautiful iron grey filly by Mortimer 5346. Her
daughter Lallahas a grey suckling filly by Admont, while
Laleli has not had any chanoe to prove her productiveness,
not having been bred yet.

One of the very best tillifcs at Rancho Cotate, is Leoline by
Clovis 4909, dam Leah by Woodford Mambrino 2:21, sire of
AbboltBford 2:19, Mambrino Dudley 2:19, and Pancoast 2:21,
(he the sire of Patron 2:144;); 2od dam Maud, (King Jim
2:2CH and also of Attorney, sire of Mabel A. 2:23 J); she by
Alexander's Abdallah, sire of Goldsmith Maid 2:14. Leoline
is entered iu the colt Btakea at Peta,luma and Santa Rosa,

and also the Breeders' Association, two-year-old stakos. Leo.
line is put up on the Sunol style being 15:2| at the withers
and 15:3 . behind. She has also been placed in Mr. Hickok's
charge to develop her speed, and is already proving that she
has wonderful speed for such a young filly.

From the brood mares we went to the stables and I was
Bhown large draught stallions, one a Suffolk Punch causing
favorable comment, as he is just my ideal of what one of the
"big legged" fellows should be.

Electic was taken from his stable and paraded up and
down. This was the first time I had ever seen this well bred
son of Electioneer, and was agreeably surprised to see a fine,
stiapping three-year-old, with plenty of height for bis age,
notwithstanding I had been told he was "a little thing."
Electic is by Electioneer, dam Manette (a full sister to Wood-
nut, 2.16£, and Manon, 2:21). by Nutwood, 2:1S^, 2d dam
Addie by Hambletonian Chief, etc. Where will one look for
better breeding? The tried blood of the two greatest living
stallions blended in this one horse should make him in the
near future one of the most fashionable sires in the State.
He is of stately carriage, exceedingly well put up, good shoul-
ders and barrel, with fine quarter and less that are hard to
beat. While he has the Electioneer conformation in body
and extremities his head tikes aftar the sire of his dam, and
is a relief to the usual run of Electioneers, bo many of whom
look alike. Iu this magnificent colt the breeders of Sonoma
County have at their very doors one of the best bred stallions
to be found anywhere, and I will be more than surprised if
they fail to take advantage of the opportunity which will be
afforded them next year of securing his services.

I was extremely sorry that Mortimer 2:27 could not be
seen, as he had been sent to Orrin A. Hickok's stables, at
the Bay District Track, to be prepared for a crucial test this
fall, as he is entered in the 2:20 Stallion Stakes offered by
the Breeders' Association, in which he will have to meet a
very strong field of horses. On my return to the city, I paid
Mortimer a visit and was surprised to see such a superior
animal. Having had my say about Eclectic, it would simply
be a repetetion. "only more so," if anything were said of
Mortimer, so I will quote the language used by Leslie Mac-
leod Esq., associate editor of Wallace's Monthly, who in
writing for his magazine says:

Mortimer, 2:27 by Electioneer, dam Marti by Whipple's
Hambletonian.

Mortimer is bailt c'o^ely on the Electioneer order, and
strongly meets the most critical inspection. I considered
him, as" a individual, about the best son of Electioneer I saw
in California, and that is saying a great deal. Barring Stam-
boul, I am not prepared to say I saw any horse on the Paci-
fic Coast that I liked better on the score of individuality than
Mortimer. Making a guess at his height I put it a 15.3 hands,
and I was surpiised, when we placed him under the stand-
ard, to see that he is a shade over 16 hands high. It do not
mention this to convev the idea that Iprefer a 16-hand horse
to a 15 3 one for a trotting sire, for such is not the case; but
when you see a horse that looks smaller than he is you gen-
erally see a rarely-made one. This fellow is a very hand-
some dark bay, with a noble head and cleanly-cut neck,
shoulders and barrel ptout and unexceptionable in every par-
ticular, and back and quarters of the A 1 brand. The quar-
ters are mammoth in power and muscle, the forearms and
gaskins stout and powerful, and the legs and joints clean and
perfect. He was jogging on a soft exercising track in tips,
and his feet looked healthy and good. The boy let him have
his head just once, and be opened up at a true-eoough Elec-
tioneer gait, and handled him Be f as if he had been there be-
fore. The son of Electioneer and Marti is foimed in elegant
and substantial proportions, and his general resemblance to
his sire is positive and striking. Though built on a some-
what larger order, he is just as consistent, even and smooth
in form as his noble sire. There are no loose spots, no ir-
regularities, but all is smooth and stout, and every line and
part curves into the next with perfect grace. A stoat, strong
and finished horBe, a trotter hiraBelf, excellently bred, be has
the license to prove a star in a family where the s'ars come
not singly but in clusters.

The wiiter of the above is one of the most conscientious
horse journalists in the United States, and I am convinced,
from conversation with bim, that he thoroughly believes
every word he says about Mr. Pages' horse.

Mr. Hickok has several horseB from the Rancho Cotate in
training. One a yearling by Le Grande, dam Sunny Slope
Belle, who made an excellent showing until he developed
a throat trouble, which will cause him to be thrown out Of
training for this season. Peep O' Day, a two-year-old, by
Dawn, is owned joiutly by Messrs. Hickok and Page, and his
work is equally satisfactory to both trainer and breeder-
Leoline is still another two-year-old in Hickok's care, and she
is a perfect beauty. Her breeding is enough to warrant
speed, being by Clovis, out ot Leah, by Woodford Mambrino;
second dam Maud by Alexander's Abdallah. Clovis is one of
Sultan's best sons, dam Sweetbriar by Thorndale, 2:22t.
Leoline is bred in the purple, and being a 6ne individual
should not disappoint those who expect much from her. I
should like to describe to my readers the lines on which the
Page mansion is built, to illustrate bow much comfort may
be obtained in a country residence, when intelligence is com-
bined with common Bense, and ordinary care is exercised in
superintending the carrying out of the architects designs, but
space will not permit, and that must be left for another time.
It was with regret that "good-by" was said to host ard
hostess, but trust the day :b not far distant when an oppor-
tunity may offer to repeat the visit.

A Beach Show Circuit.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I heartily agree with
your suggestion made sometime since of establishing a bench
show oircuit on this coast, to include San Francisco, Los An-
les, Saoramento aod Portland. In the two former cities,
bench shows nave been held this year. The Pacific Kennel
Club Show tit San Francisco being a succobs in all ways bnt
financially, but I understand that if the show had been held
earlier in the year and certain, expenses cut down, that the
clob would have had a balance in its favor.

The Bhow held by the Southern California Kennel Club at
Los Angeles last week, the first held in Southern California,
has been a great sacceBS in everyway, the entry list being
large, the quality of the dogs good, and the judging by H.
H. Briggs Esq,, meeting with general approval.

Now I would suggest to the sportsmen of Sacramento, to
organize *i kennel club immediately and hold a show during
the week of the State Fair. I have no doubt but that it
would be a great success. I am satisfied that the owners of
dogs here would back them up in their endeavors. I would
like to hear from others on this matter.

San Francisco, July 3, '89. J. B. Martin.

Best greyhound puppy, G. W. Gordon's Leo.
Best bull terrier, Clarence Barnes' Little Nell.

Poultry at Los Angeles.

The poultry feature of the recent show at Los Angeles,
while it did not attract a tithe of the visitors drawn by the
dogs was nevertheless, a large, fine and creditable exhibition.
The benching was first rate, being a series of light frames
covered with white cloth except in front, where there was a
door of neat slats. The birds could be as well Been at night
as in the day time. The judging was not finished until Wed-
nesday evening, for reasons familiar to fanciers, but when it
was completed, the utmost satisfaction was expressed by the
exhibitors at the accuracy and impartiality of the judges:
Poultry and pet stock, A. F. Cooper, of Homer City, Penn
Pigeons, James Fullerton, Orange, Cal. Incubators and
brooders, C. B. Kelley, W. Nelson, E. R. Terwillerger, B. H.
Shaw, C. T. Paul, Chas. W. Collins, John D. Mercer. _ A
feature of the show was a coop of two ostrich chicks, nine
weeks old. The birds stood four feet high and must have
weighed forty pounds each. They are curious, omnivorous
creatures, as little suggestive of ostrich plumes as can be
imagined. A number of fine pea fowls were shown. Several
incubators of different patents were in operation, the eggs
having been placed in them some time before the show, so
that hatching was in operation all of the show week. It was
interesting to watch the chicks free themselves from the
shells and gradually attain strength but we could not avoid
the belief that the whole incub.itor system is taking a mean
advantage of eggs, which would in the order of nature mature
under the Bolicitous care of a fleecy hen and not a current of
hot air.

The Asiatics were the largest class, next being Plymouth
Rocks and Wyandottes. Bronze turkeys were large and of
good type. Games and game bantams were also excellent.

The pigeon exhibit was both large and superior, Mr. Geo.
T. Marsh, of this city, owning nearly all the birds shown and
taking a lot of prizes- In the poultry department as well bb
among the dogs perfect cleanliness was the rule and the last
day of the show was as free from malodors as the first.

A. Private Field Trial.

Prairie chickens being ripe, the season opened, Jay took
his usual evening hunt among the stubbles and pastures in

central KanBas, L county, last fall. The Irish setters

Judith, Fanny and Nannie being the ohicken tinders on this
occasion.

Fanny, with her great speed and fine style, usually cutting
out the work, but requiring watchfulness from her inability
to refuse a run after the fleet-footed and cunning jack rabbit,
which pest abounds in central Kansas, and is a very difficult
animal to break a young dog from chasing.

This particular evening I will always remember, both from
the fine work of the dogs, and the dreadful storm which
ensued that night. Putting the dogs down in some oat
stubbles first, they covered the ground thoroughly without
result till the extreme comer was reached adjoining the corn
field, when Fanny pointed, backed by Judy, the young
Nannie rushing in and flushing a fine bevy of full grown
birds, for which she received the usual rebuke.

Jay's gun was to his face in a minute, a 9£-lb. Smith, a
hard shooting reliable gun, which the owner "could rely on
reaching well out for a bird, and usually killed very dead;
hastily getting a bead on a right quarterer, which fell to
crack of gun, missing a distant left quartering chicken;
rapidly shoving in more shellB, one more is bagged.

Judy and Nannie retrieving in good style. Fannie for-
gotten for a minute, is soon found on a point some distance
away, which, from her unsteady actions Jay surmises to be a
jack. Nor is he mistaken, for the latter soon runs a little
piece then stops, and sitting up on his tail, complacently
smiles back upon the now eager Fanny. The old lad, becom-
ing apparently satisfied with the looks of things, and having
sized the dog up correctly aB an easy victim, runs again,
shakes out his legs, runs lame, and finally Fan, despite my
whistle, can stand it no longer, and lets go in full ory after
bunny. The latter takes things in a comparatively easy
manner at first, but discovering the pursuer to be an nnuBU-
ally fast one, openB up in grand style, and with throttle wide
open soon disappears over a knoll, the dog closely behind.
Knowing Johnnies habits, Jay takes a res'. Nor has he long
to wait till the jack comes hopping back iu his tracks, having
doubled on Fanny and given her the slip. When olose
enough Jay tumbles him over and awaits Fan's return, belts
her over the head and shoulders freely with the dead jack,
and tying it to her collar, made her carry it around for a few
blocks, and pretty effectually cured her from chasing. She
got so s«"ck of that rabbit that Jay took it off finally in pity to
her. Many sportsmen would lie down and weep at such
frivolity in a dog, but Jay loves an ambitious, dashing dog,
one to be checked rather than urged, and deBpises a slow,
pottering dog thatisn'i full of hunt and life.

Changing to a large pasture containing a pond, in whioh
the dogs have a grand swim; ordering them on, Judy roads
to a point, »nd finally Fanny, striking scent from opposite
side, tumbles from a grand burst of speed to a stiff point
almost over on her face. Calling the young dog up to back,
and checking her desire to flash, she refuses to baok, but
establishes a point of her own.

Moving up to flush, three old birds get up which swiftly
try to escape, but two drop for Judy to retrieve, the third
being marked down after a long flight. In the edge of com
ordering dogs over they fail to find, but work out into open
and point the piDnated erouse some fifty yards from place he
dropped, getting up with a whirr and a cackle whioh Jay has
often heard in the evenings.

The first barrel feathers him, but failing to Btop, the seoond
in quickly (ired after him, and he comeB down with a thud.
A tine big and fat cock grouse.

Finding no more chickens in this posture, the dogs are
ordered into the low aod reclining corn, whioh has been
blown down by the wind. But beiog unable to Bee the doers,
whioh is one of the ohief charms in this sport.it is soon
deserted for s. me wheat Btnbble. Several covies are fouDd
here, the dogs work well, shooting has been good, a good bag
already made with very few misses, and everything is lovely.

The sun is settling below the horizon, the sky is bright
yellow, red and variegated. A cool and refieshiug breeze
blowing.

The view in all directions, \u the shade and glow of the
Betting sun, is one of beauty and peace. Jay is at peace with
the whole world, hiH pipe lit, and the fragrant, to him. smoke
rising up in little circles. He loven his wornt enemy now,
satisfied with everything and everybody. He ponders and
reflects, thinking what a lovely world this is to live in, how
sweet are its pleasures, what good people it contains, cares
nothing for past or future troubles, hiH simply rests oontented
pi the blissful present.

Ye sportsmen ye know all the sensations better than any
feeble pen can describe them, the delights of nature in her
varied forms, be it on prairie or mountain, which only the
sportsman at heart can fully enjoy.

Time flying Jay notices not the approach of night but sits
pondering over paBt scenes afield.

The distant bark of a farmer's dog, lowing of cow, fol-
lowed by distant thunder, wakes him from his reverie and
noting black and threatening clouds spreading and spoiling
the pretty picture, [turns hiB steps homeward.

The doge pointing stanohly into some brush brings his gun
to hie shoulder very quickly, but with a whirr up and away
with lightning speed darts a covey of quail which are saored
from harm, from Jay's gun at this season.

Another and another covey are quickly found by the dogs,
till nearly home. Jay now thoroughly hurried by the ap-
proaching storm, the glaring flashes of lightning and howliDg
wind, is soon in the house.

the sky which such a short time before had presented so
calm and peaeeful appearance, is now covered by a black and
anpalling cloud.
"Jay is'very thankful that his beloved wife and happy child-
ren are safe in another State away from these terrible Kansas
windB.

Hastily lighting lamp and securely fastening all doors and
windows, he awaits the storm, which grows apace.

Wind howling and whistling and tugging at the stout little
shanty, as if to pull it out of the ground, thunder rolling,
rumbling crash, following crash the whole heavens riven by
the lightning.

The wind, now a perfect gale, langhing and howling in de-
moniac glee at the destruction it appearB to contemplate, fills
one's soul with horror.

Towards midnight Jay can ttand it no longer; bis shanty
has a dozen times threatened to fall on and crnBh him. Call-
ing his beloved dogs together, he makes a dash for the oellar,
which no house in that part of Kansas is without, shutting
himself in the cold and darkness; making his bed on a butter
tub and a pile of stones, he proceeds to pass the night, for the
storm has come to stay.

The building above rocks, creaks and groans under the
weight of the mighty blasts, lightning striking many points in
close proximity.

Once entering the cellar, a stripe of yellow and glaring light
slipping down the stone wall into the ground floor of cellar
causes Jay to move uneasily; and having heard that it was
easier to hit a stationary than moving object, he keeps on
moving, greatly objecting to any of the treacherous electric
fluid insinuating itself down his coat collar.

That nigh* lasted several weeks, and the worst and wildest
night man ever had the horror to live through, such light-
ning, such thunder, and, above all, such wind, on daring to
look out daring a lull.

The blackest cloud, almost toucbiog the ground, ever wit-
nessed was seen clearing the shanty, but returning with re-
doubled force, accompanied by hail and rain. Throughout
that entire night the storm raged; great was the destruction
to crops; many an already partly-ruined farmer was com-
pletely ruined that night.

Not many houses being carried away, for the reason that
all houseB in that seotion were one-story solid stone build-
ings, but even a few of them were blown down. Haystacks,
windmills, outhouses were found scattered to the four winds
of heaven.

Gentle reader, I trust you are in a country where you are
free from these visitations of the elements.

"We are pleased to learn that the Los Angeles Bench Show
paid well, for which desirable outcome the dog part is to be
credited. It was astonishing to note with what unanimity
visitors went immediately to the dog benches, made a close
study of all the exhibits and then passed cursorily through
the poultry annex. Both shows were well worth careful in-
spection.

The dog men of Denver, Col., are moving in behalf of a
bench show, and we hope will give a successful one. Mr.
Claude King, Denver, is the Secretary pro tern.

One of our very best of English setters recently crossed the
Atlantic. ThiB is Monk of Furness, the well-known son of
Sir Alister and Belle of Furness, recently sold to the Elm
Kennels, Forest Lake Minnesota. He leaves behind him
many son and daughters, some of whom will doubtless do
much to prepetuate the fame of their sire.

[This is what the Eoglieh Kennel Gazette says of a dog
owned by the Elms Kennels, the advertisement of which ap-
pears in another column: — Ed.]

Since the advent of Mr, Wm. Graham and his success in
the judging ring Ireland does not seem so far away, and this
week it is brought still nearer by receipt of an advertisement
from Mr. John M. Niall, of Killaloe, County Limerick, offer-
ing for sale Irish setters of the rarest breeding, most approved
form and highest quality. Mr. Niall has sent many Irish
setters to America, among them being several world beaters,
such as Kathleen, pronounced by Dr. Rowe "The Queen of
Irish Betters," Derg, a first prize winner at the Westminster
Show, Red Hugh and otheis as good but not so well known.
The dogs offered are strong in both bench and field strains of
blood.

Irish setters are popular on the Pacific Slope, and our read-
ers will boubtless begin correspondence with Mr. Niall. If
aDy desire to see full pedigrees of the puppies offered, tbey
can do so at this office.

The English setter Sportsman, by Gladstone — Sue has
been sold by Mr. Shelby Hudson, of Covington, Ky., to Mr
Pierre Lorillard, Jr , of New York. Sportsman is sire of
Sirius, Sirocco, Saladiu and Sunlit owned by Californians.

Mr. Ortou Gifford, of Wahpeton, Richland Co., Dakota,
advertises elsewhere in the paper some choice pue dogs and
Irish setters. The pngs, by Champion Kash — Narka, are
perfectly bred, and should be juBt right. The Irish setters,
straia to ohumpious Bruce and Glencho, two most fashionable
dogs in both blood and wiunings. The local pog fancy is
not as strong as it should be, and we commend the advertise-
ment to our readers.

Messrs. Post and Watson, of Sacramento, proprietors of
the California Kennels, have sent all of their stud of English
setters exoept Sweetheart and Sunlit, to the kennels of Mr.
De Mott, at San Rafael. Mr. DeMott will oare for the dogs,
rear the puppies and manage the kenuel. The move is a
wise one, for several reasons. No man can give proper ca.«
to a dozen dogs except one who makes it a business. Then
too, Judge Post lives iu the oity of Sacramento and had not
sufficient room for hi,a dogs. They will be muoh the bettey '
for the change.

The death of Scout Crosteth, which occurred at the home
of Senator Finder, in Santa Rosa, on June 14th., deprives
the fancy of one of the best dogs of the breed that has ever
appeared in California. Scout was a young dog, and in pup-
pyhood suffered severely from distemper, the disease leaving
him for a time, inclined to chorea, but he outgrew
the nervousuess and in the last Pacific Coast
Field Trials showed very creditably. He was a clean,
powerful, game looking dog, fall of huuting instinct, and of
nice disposition. As a stod dog he proved his reliability and
his decendantB show admirable quality. Senator Pindt-r is
of the plucky sort and he will undoubtedly becure a successor
to Scout very soon.

The provision in the conditions of the Texas Field Trials
published last week which limits competition to "amateurs"
is a singular one. The club offers cash prizes, winning and
receipt of which will make the winner a professional, and
competition for which will also destroy the amateur standing
of all competitors. It the desire of the club istoavoid contests
against professional handlers it should limit its prizes to
pieoes of plate; professionals will not, unless well paid,
compete where ooin cannot be won.

Snch a limitation of a stake will probably emasculate the
Texas Trials, and make wins there a very uncertain index as
to the absolute quality of the winning dogs. Older field trailers
prefer to compete in open trials, choosing rather to lose in
first rate company than to win by reason of incompetency of
opposing handlers. Personally we had infinitely rather run
a good third to Consolation and Daisy F. than win first over
Blitz Burglar D. and Flake of Flockfinder. To be beaten by
that brilliant setter Chance, handled by Avent, after running
up for first, is an honor not lightly to be esteemed; while to
win against a rank, untrained unconditioned beast that by
good luck has been advanced in a stake and is handled by an
arrant, unfair, so-called amateur is really no honor either to
doe or handler.

No record made except in open competition is worth a
rap and it is a surprise that Texans, of allHmen, should make
a close corporation of their club and its meetings. We should
be glad to receive from Secretary Thomas, a resume of the
reasons which inclined the club to favor a "baby" stake.

Sacramento Spring Races.

The promoters of the proposed spring meeting at Sacra,
mento have received such encouragement from the business
men of the Capital City, that the project is now an assured
success. This is as it should be, for there will be an ampl*
response from Eastern horse^owners, who will only too gladly
avail themselves of the opportunity to take advantage of the
climate, when opportunity is offered by which expenses of
the trip may be made. The following is Secretary Smith's
letter to this office, and the list of the stakes for 1890 and

1891.

Sacramento, Cal., July 2, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman" — The Spring Race Meet-
ing of the State Agricultural Society, id now an assured event.
As I have written you previously, we purpose giving a four
days meeting in April, following the P. C. B. H. meeting in
San Francisco.

I have sent circulars East, calling the attention of owners
of thoroughbreds, to the advantages offered by our winter
climate and the opportunities of racing at the Blood Horse
meetiDg in the Fall, and two very resDectable meetings in
the Spring, thereby giving them an opportunity of early de-
velopment and such other advantages, as you know our cli-
mate affords.

I have written Secretary Culver, asking the hearty co-
operation of the Blood Horse Association, in our effort to
bring to this State, such sUbles that have heretofore wintered
in the South.

I see no reason why we cannot, with the additional advan-
vantage to race, bring out several prominent stables to take
part. I have often been told, that if advantages to race were
offered, they would certainly prefer coming to California to
winter, than going elsewhere.

You will to observe, by the circular enclosed, that for the
beginning, our stakes are very respectably and will be
worth to winners, from $1,500 to $4,000 each.
Very respectfully,

Edwin F. Smith, Sec'ty.

P. S. I also enclose you circular, sent to the breeders of
this State asking them to subscribe and inaugurate a "Breed-
ers Stake, " thereb}T assisting us in the organization of ad
ditional advantages, which will in future, benefit them.

A Pacific Coast association-

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The subject of forming
an association for the purpose of stimulating and governing
turf events on the Pacific Coast is by no means a new one.
As tar back as 1S63 the writer, in company with several other
representatives of the trotting turf, held a meeting in the
parlors of tbe old Cosmopolitan Hotel, corner of Bush and
Sansome streets, for the purpose of organizing and electing
suitable gentlemen to till, the offices necessary for carrying
into effect the purposes of jnst such an association as the
one you now propose. At that meeting we then found, as
doubtless one would now find, some persons who were
opposed to a home government. After much discussion
those of us who were in favor of the immediate organization
of a Pacific Coast Congress reluctantly consented, for the
sake of harmony, to an adjournment.

1 was then strongly in favor of the movement, and what-
ever doubt I may have had of the existing necessity for such
a government has long since been entirely overcome. I
might of my own personal knowledge recite numerous cases
in which the so-called National Congress was either too re-
mote or perhaps. too full of other affairs to exercise its funo
tions in due time to dispense justice to those who, under its
government, had at least a right to expect official action
within a reasonable period.

Not only has much unnecessary delay and entanglement
of turf matters grown out of the remoteness of our situation
from the National Congress, but there has incontrovertably
been some very questionable rulings, which doubtlesB have
been made from a want of correct and reliable Information,
owing to the many difficulties attending an action or correct
hearing of a case so far from the place of its origin.

Give us an honest home government, and honest home
men to govern us. Let our turf law-makers and executive
officials have charge and control of the emoluments arising
from all violations of their laws to Buatain our association
when thus formed; and when bo equipped there need be no
harmful delay in adjusting all our grievances and in bring-
ing proper And speedy punishment to all offenders against
the rules and requirements of an association lormed for the
purpose of encouraging and ennobling the trotting turf and
making it here in California and throughout the Pacific
CoaBt what it should be elsewhere — the leading and most
popular of all oat door sports.

The proposition to organize the association by taking for
its officers one member from the Board of Trustees in each
district is in my opinion quite proper and practical, provid-
ing, by all means, that a meeting be called to give the trotting
horse men and the public generally a fair chance to make
their own selections, for undoubtedly some of the present
incumbents would prove as inadequate to justice as they are
otherwise incompetent. In this way we shall receive the
approval and co-operation of all w« 11 meaning men, and
instead of having, as at present, to abide by the ratings of
men totally without the ability or knowledge necessary to
give judgment even on the most unimportant question, we
shall have men of sound judgment and* integrity to decide
impartially on the different questions that may come before
them. It were far better to be governed bv honest men of no
pretense whatever than to be at the mercy of the ignoramus
who is too conceited to acknowledge himself in the wrong
and seek information from men wbose experience and hones-
ty would set him right and give jnstice to those who are so
unfortunate as to fall under bin brief authority.

Ben E. Harris.
1626 Turk St., San Francisco, Jane. 27, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Your card or letter
regarding the facts of a Pacific Coast Trotting Association
received. As a general proposition I am in favor of a Pacifio
Coast Association, as the number of associations is growing
rapidly, and the horse interest in the states and territories of
the Pacific Coast has reached a stage that an association of
the character proposed will be of manifest advantage to all
concerned, and I favor such an organization for these and
collateral reasons. Yours truly,

Santa Kosa, January;2b\ 1889, I. DeTurk.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Referring to your cir-
cular of June 19th, regarding the formation of a Pacific
Coast Trotting Association, I have to say that we are all
heartily in favor of snch an organization, and that we will be
glad to assist in promoting the enterprise. It is something
we need, and no lime should be lost in calling a meeting.
Yours truly,

A. A. Newberry.
Pres. Washington and Idaho Fair Association
June 26, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I am unqualifiedly in
favor of the proposition to organize a Pacific Coast Trotting
Association.

I would also suggest that, inasmuch as almost all of our
meetings on this Coast are of a mixed character — i. e., both
running and trotting— it might not prove inexpedient whilst
entertaining the suggestion of a trotting association to en-
deavor to combine therewith the turf interests of the blood-
horse under the same organization.

With rules and laws applicable to each way of goiDg, sep-
arate committees to take charge of each department and
decide all questions of appeal from the decisions of track
judges and associations, and by the mutual recognition and
enforcement of fines and suspensions inflieted by odo de-
partment or the other, any such penalty would carry more
weight than it does now.

A mixed Board, selected from or constituted of the two
committees named, with the assistance of a competent Secre-
tary and clerks, would suffice to keep the records and look
after the administrative and financial affairs of both depart-
ments.

Ihe above is merely a suggestion of my own, and does Dot
emanate from or express the desires or opinions of any Di-
rector of the Breeders' Association.

If there be any merit or advantage in combining the turf
interests of the Blood-Horse and Trotting Associations, the
best time to do it will be in forming the new trotting associ-
ation on this Coast; it will at least do no barm to get the
views of all breeders' and turf associations on the Coast as to
both the suggestions. Respectfully, "Wilfred Page.

Peuns Grove, Sonoma County, June 29, 1SS9.

Breeder and Sportsman: — I received your circular yester-
day, and it affurrls me pleasure to see that there is a nlan on
movement for the promotion of a Pacific Coast Trotting
Association. I think it is a wise move, and I assuie you
that I fully endorse such an action.

Yours truly

Where the Car Porters Come From.

When you ride up to the gate of one of the big Kentucky
stock farms, there is a little nigger boy to open the gate for
you. You pitch him a quarter. When you drive out there
is another nigger boy waiting to shut the gate. You pitch
him another quarter. They both say "Thank ye, boss," and
look happy. They say all our best negro waiters come from
Kentucky. I am inclined to think ail onr Pullman car por-
ters do also. There is one negro to every white man in tbe
Blue Grass country, and two negroes to evary horse. One
negro cannot take c ire of ahorse. The colored people are
far more deferential in that country than they are in the
North.— Forest and Stream.

A. L Hinds and Johnson drove Balkan and Ringwood
two good heats on Saturday at Oakland, the first heat in
2:32. Id the second they went to the half in 1:12, and kept
the pace up to the three-quarters when Balkan was pulled up
and Ringwood jogged borne, finishing up the full mile in
2:27.

Preparing for Meetings.
A number of gentlemen interested in the moetings of
the season at the County Fairs, and representing the cir-

Rosa, met at the office rooms of the BREEDER and
Sportsman early this week, and agreed upon a plan for
the circuit which will give better satisfaction all around
— to turfmen and spectators. The circuit embraced is
important, and in purses and stakes the total amount
offered is nearly 950,000, for which many of the noted
runners, trotters and pacers will contest. These gentle-
mer have dovotec! time and attention to the matter, and
th<? plan upon "which they have all so unanimously
un' ted will much conduce to the convenience of owners
at J all engaged, to the comfort of the horses, and con-
ir.Vtute ujore to the enjoyment of patrons, at*d, visitors.
Full dfitftila are given by advertisement.

John A. Morris, a noted turfman of New York, has
made at Westchester, for tue New York Jockey Club, a
straightaway track of three-quarters of a mile and a
track of one mile and a quarter with one turn, each of
which he thinkB, will conduce to the winning of the
best horse in the race, and reduce the risks and dangers
incident to tracks of the customary form and prepara-
tion, especially in events wherein many starters are en-
gaged. He has submitted his scheme to the leading men
of the New York Jockey Club and believes that in fair
time these styles of track will generally prevail in the
United States for racing. It is not likely it will become
favorite with the trotting men.

The Marysville Fair.

On Tuesday, Sept. 23rd, the Sixth Annual Fair of the
Thirteenth District Association, comprising Yuba, Sutter
and Yolo, will commence at Marysville. In the past,
the meetings at this old time mining centre, have been
very successful and the liberal inducements offered by
the management should tend to make the list of entries
a very large one. During the debris fight Marysville
gradually grew poorer and poorer, but now the town has
taken on a new era of prosperity and complaints of bad
times are things of the past. It will seem strange to
visit Marysville and not find "Tom" Sherwood at the
helm, but a first class man has been selected to take the
place of secretary and in Gus Eckart the society has the
right man in the right place. There will be five days
racing in all, full particulars of which will be found in
the advertising pages. The racing meeting at this point
has always been of a high order, and those who have
experienced the hospitality of the good people of Marys-
ville in the past are almost sure to attend the meeting of
1889.

State Pair Speed Programme.

In the sports of the fair track the managers have ar-
ranged an exceptionally attractive and inspiring pro-
gramme. The division of runners and trotting is fairly
ordered, and pacing has not been neglected. The several
stakes, specially provided, together with the customary
purses, will draw the competition of the best blood and
breeds ot the State. The Southern Pacific Railroad Com-
pany make generous terms for exhibitors and visitors
from every part of the State, and the apportionment of
premiums is judicious and liberal. The grand gold medal
of the Society, actual value $200, will be awarded agree-
ably to the published terms — a prize in itself to be fairly
gained by first award. The Fair will open on Monday,
September 9th, and on Thursday, the 12th, the exer-
cises at the speed track will begin. First on the pro-
gramme is the trotting contest for the Occidental Stake,
closed in 1887, with forty nominations, valued January
1st, this year, at $1,330. Next follows a purse of $1,200
for trotters in the 2:23 class; and last comes a purse of
$600 for pacers in the 2:30 class. For the starting day,
this promises exciting sport to interest horsemen aud
delight spectators.

Friday the speed sports will be to the runners, and
four contests are appointed. The Introduction Stake
for 2-year-olds, $50 each, half forfeit, or ouly $15 if
declared before or on September 1st, with $300 added;
$100 to second, third to save stake. Winner of any 2-
year-old event this year of $1,000 value to carry five
pounds extra; beaten maidens allowed five pounds; g of
a mile. Next, California Breeders' Stake, 1£ mile,
sweepstakes for 3-year-olds, $100 each, half forfeit, or
only $10 if declared January 1st, $15 May 1st, or ©25

No International Yacht Race.

There will not be an international yacht race in
American waters this year to contest the superiority once
more of Yankee craft with the cracks of England. The
British yacht Valkyrie was specially designed by Wat-
son, the famous builder of yachts, upon the order of Lord
Dunravan, for the express purpose of crossing the Atlan-
tic and contesting with the best of the New York Yacht
Club fleet for the supremacy and the America cup —
the prize most coveted by British yachtmen. The Vol-
unteer, the Mayflower and the Puritan were considered
by the Americans able to out-sail any yacht sent from
the United Kingdom for the purpose, and upon these the
contest would have devolved.

Tne Valkyrie was launched about two months ago,
and has since been pretty thoroughly tested in all kinds
of weather about the coast of the Kingdom, in competi-
tion with the fastest of the yachts of last year. Her
several performances on these trial occasions were so
different and so inexplicable that it became apparent the
contest for the cup could not be safely committed to her.
At times she behaved finely, and easily sailed away from
the others in the race, leading handsomely. But on
other occasions, without any explainable cause, the Val-
kyrie was unable to maintain her place at the front, and
dropped behind, in spite of the utmost efforts of her sail-
ing master to keep ahead.

She has now been amply tested, and the impression is
that she is no match for the crack yachts of the New
York Club. The Royal Club has announced that none
of the British yachts will contest this year. Disinclina-
tion to accept the cup conditions is the assigned cause for
this determination, but the actual cause, most likely to
be found in the unsatisfactory performances of Lard
Dunravan's Valkyrie, and again the Royal Yacht Club
must try their better skill and ingenuity at yacht build-
ing to give them reasonable hope of redeeming British
reputation in naval architecture and sailing qualities, by
excelling the Yankee craft and winning the coveted
prize to crown their pride — the cup the Americans have
held and rejoiced in since the yacht Ameiica first won
the proud triumph in 1851 in British waters. The Royal
Yacht Club have adopted the American centreboard.
Still there is something equally imoortant that is lack-
ing. Just what this is John Bull would like very much
to have Brother Johnathan impart to him. May be "a
Yankee craft and a Yankee crew" have a good deal to
do with the solution of the perplexing problem.

The Hagrein Sale.

The sale in New York last Monday of thirty-seven
colts and fifty nine fillies from Mr. J. B. Haggin's Dq\
Paso breeding farm, was another important event of the
year. The total sale amounted to $113,775 — an average
of $1,185.15. The thirty-seven colts sold for $64,050—
an average of $1,731 each; the fifty-nine fillies brought
the total $49,725 — an average of $842.71. The highest
price paid was for a colt by St. Blaise, cam Maud
Hampton, a half brother to King Thomas — $22,000;
bought by Scott Quintou, representative of Marcus Daly,
of Montana, of the great Anaconda copper mine. Sen-
ator Hearst, the Dwyer brothers and Walden were the
principal bidders, Senator Hearst staying longest. Next
came a filly, sister to Dewdrop, Senator Hearst the pur-
chaser, for $10,000, with the Dwyers, Matt Allen, Walton
and Quinton' opposing bidders. ABauFoxcolt, by Queen,
b. ought $6,000, purchased by Scott Quinton.

Col. Harry I. Thornton was represented at the sale, and
bought five colts and fillies — all good ones; and Dan J.
McCarty made purchase of a fine filly. James Garland,
of Sacramento, bought a chestnut colt of much promise.
These three were the only California purchasers.

Mr. Haggin expressed his satisfaction after the sale at
the general result, but thought that while good prices
were paid for the choice youngsters, some of them had
had sold low down under their worth. The sale is, how-
ever, gratifying, as showing the high appreciation of
California bred colts and fillies in the East, and in this
respect is great encouragement to breeders in this State.

The market for thoroughbreds and superior horses is
every year broadening throughout the country, and the
purchasers are quickening in the sense of values. The
field is, as one might say, illimitable, ancj np other State
can excel California in frhe production,

Horses at Bay District.

As the various stables at tbe track have been reinforced or
depleted lately, it was considered necessary to take a look
through them again. Orrin A. Hickok has eighteen head
under his care, the pride of place of course being given to
Stamboul, 2:14£, though Adonis, 2:14^ (pacing 3-year-old),
runs him close for favoritism; he is Mr. Hickok's property.
Mr. J. N. Ayres' brown Btallion Bay Rose, 2:20, has not been
at (he track long, having only just left his stad duties. Mr.
Searle's bay gelding Alfred S., 2:21, is getting into t<ood form
just now and Bbould readily lower his record. Mr. Lathrop's
two, one of whom is a pacing four-year-old gelding, by Gay
Wilkes, oat o' Lucy (pacer) 2:14, and the other, a three-year,
old by Electioneer, look in good trim, and both ought to have
a good record before the season is out. Mr. A. B. Spreckles'
Gracie S., 2:2SJ, is trotting in good shape. Last Tuesday
she easily went a mile in 2:28. Hie five year old gelding is
also going well. Mr. Wilfred Page has Mortimer, Peep' O'
Day, Leoline and Grand Moro. The Btallion is only just
beginning to be worked in earnest, his best heat being about
2:40, which, considering his heavy season in the stud, is
very creditable. Peep'O'Day is an appropriately named two-
year-old son of Dawn, .who is boundl to'trotifaet. He is
owned by Messrs. Page and Hickok. The yearling has had
very little work owing to an attack of distemper, but showed
a good, square gait. Leoline is a two-year-old daughter of
Clovis, showing signs of great pace. Mr. McFadyen's Red-
wood is a four-year-old Btallion by Anteeo. He requires
more work than he has had to fit him for a hard race.

Mr. J. V. Coleman's Bill O'Brien is working nicely, and if
his feet do not bother him will get well inside 2 30 this fell.
Mr. D. W. Grover's stalliou Pedro looks well, but requires
more work. The Cook farm's four-year-old stallion Charles,
Derby by Steinway, dam by Electioneer. Mr. Hugh's Pey-
ton, an S-year-old gelding, by Electioneer, who has already
gone trials in 2.24 and 2.25, and "Mr. Morgan Hill's sis-year-
old stallion by Altamont complete Hickoll's string.

Pete Brandow looks after Racquet, 2.28A, a pacer, property
of Charlie Havens; Captain Johnson'B Sol Wilkes, 2.47, who
has already gone inside thirty; Mr. Smith's five-year-old
Abbotsford mare, and a big, fine-looking pacer; Col. J. E.
English's Haggie, and a bay gelding by Albert W.; Mr. Ed.
Fay's bay mare; Judge Levy's Crown Point gelding; Mr-
Ramsey's four-year-old Sidney gelding, and a road horse of
his own.

T. H. Griffin has Little Hopes, 2:21 (pacer), a four-year-
old son of Elector; Ailington, a magni6cent looking stallion
by Abbotsford; Buttonhole, a fast three-year-old gelding by
Button; Gonzalez, a three-yeor-old Alaska gelding; Bay-
wood, a Nutwood stallion; Patch Allen, a bay gelding[by Geo.
M. Patchen, Jr.; Young Albert, a four-year-old chestnut geld-
ing, and Steineer, a good looking two-year-old by Steinway.

Dick Havey watches and cares for five, handling them with
his well-known skill, Bonanza, Haverly, Shamrock, Fleet and
Mr. Valensins' crack yearling.

Clausen has Big Jim, a brown gelding and a bay; the latter
a six-yeai-old by Nephew, was a present from Palo Alto.
There are a few odd ones knocking around, among whom
are Wells Fargo, Josie D., a nice two-year-old filly by Ster_
ling, with a very taking gait. She is the property of Mr. P.
Green. Charles Davis is to be seen every day behind Nona
Y., the eight-year-old sister of Perihelion, Sister and others,
she is now going better than she has ever gone before.

A Commissioner to Resign.

There is a rumor current in the city as we go to press that
one of the Park Commissioners will shortly resign. It is to be
hoped that this is true, for new blood shculd be introduced
in the commission. This will give the horse breeders an
opportunity to suggest the name of some good man to Gov-
ernor Waterman for the position. Let this be attended to at
once, as all owners of horses are interested in the new speed
track, and it will never be completed if action is not taken
immediately.

The Premium List.

Editor Breeder and Spoktsmax:— The standard trotter
class was introduced to give the middle class harness horse a
chance to compete with his own kind, It mast sorely be a
dunghill standard horse thrit a man wants to enter in a class
that is below bis rank. Tbe roadster class is for the man
who is breeding up. The standard class is for the man who
has bred up. He must be unambitious, indeed, who wants
to enter his standard trotter in a class of plebians — ur full of
greed that he wiBheB to take the money from the lower, with
a higher classed animal. The premium list is not constructed
to pander to the greed of any one, but to encourage the
breeder and artisan all along the line.

Draft, all work, roadster, standard trotter and thorough-
bred horBes, all have their class, and the very fact that there
are men who wish to go into a lower class with animals of a
higher class, is the reason of the necessity for a rnle that
Bbnts them oot. If the roadster's c'ass were open to stand-
ard trotters, the standard horse wonld fill both classes, and
the man who was breeding up would have no show.

To be sure, the common standard horse has not much
show, but that is no reason that he should compete with
the roadster.

The commoners of every cHbb have to go home from the
fair without honor or reward, except occadionally when they
strike erroneons judgment or slide through a class below
their rank without beiog detected.

I am at a loss to know what reason, except it he tbe
money that induces a breeder to enter his horse below
his level. The horse if he wins, only gains barren honor; if he
looses he is doubly disgraced. G, W. Hancock.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman— Dear Sir: — Will you
kindly notify horse-owners, etc., that the Official Stake
Book will be ready on Saturday, the 29th iust. ? The work

90-91, of the following Clubs: American, Coney Island,

Morality of the Turf.

Written foe the Bbeedee and Sportsman.
H-troppect and investigation of the subject give the satis-
factory assurance that the Anierioan turf is improving in re-
gard to what may be termed the morals of raoing and the
oharaoter of those who engage in it. This is to be observed
more particularly in respeot to trotting. In early years rac-
ing in America was copied from the English system, in which
running was exclusively practiced, and the breeding of raoers
was confined to this object. Arabian horses and Barbary
horses of superior quality for Bpeed and endurance were im-
ported, and only royalty, the nobility and the rioh would af-
ford the animating pleasures of the turf. Gradually, men
found profit in the breeding, and it beoame a matter of great
pride, also, to engage in the pursuit. Symmetry of form,
beauty of appearance, and high spirit, with remarkable
sinews beyond the na'ure of the draft horse, and uncommon
powers of endurance, were the chief qualities bred for, until
experiments and satisfactory resultB were obtained, and from
this much studied thorough process of breediug, there was at
length established, lines, which still exist and are regarded
perfection in horses for raoing and hunting, for uses in war,
and the varieties required in the stnd and turf. This tenta-
tive process, gradually developing to oomplete maturity, has
produced the thoroughbred horse of this age, and it is gener-
ally considered that in England and Americi the utmost has
already been attained in the perfection of the running horse
or racing, as with Faugh-a-Ballagh, Kingcrafl, Galopin, Btnd
Or, Shotover, Ormonde, Harvester, Ayrshire, Donovan, and
other winners of the famouB Derby, of Isonomy, Foxball,
St. Gatien, the Bard, Seabreeze, and other of the great win-
ners of the Oaks, St. Leger, Ascot, the Goodwood, Dju.
oaster and the Cesarewitch; and in our country, since the
triumph of Eclipse, have succeeded Ljxin^ton, L mgfellow,
Kity Pease and Ten JBroeck, all of whom have increased the
apeed and greatly reduced the time — Ten Broeck in one mile,
two miles, three miles, and four miles, which except at three
miles is still unequaled. Lorillard's American bred horse
Iroquois remains the only American winner of the Derby,
although Prior expected to bear away that highest of English
turf honors, the blue ribbon of the Derby, which is coveted
even by royalty, and has sometimes been won by the highest
fof the nobility.

These examples in Eaglaad and America are the warrant
for the belief entertained by many that the utmost possible
apeed has already been attained by the running horse. This
can be better assured in this country, inasmuch as the com-
parative Bpee3 is timed by watches of the completest accur-
acy, while in England no public record is made of the time
in a race. That the winner has run fast enough to outstrip
all competitors is the satisfaction cf the ownerB and admirers.
But with trotting, these conditions do not exist in any respect
Bave reoent breeding, and this only in Amerioa, where trot-
ting and the breeding of trotters is gradually advancing to
equal place with running and the breeding of runners for the
turf and stud.

The increasing attention devoted to this distinctive pur-
suit'.has had and is produoiog very marked and gratifying
results, and among these whorein the morality of the turf is
concerned is a Bource of pride as well as of profit, and in
every respect exemplary and beneficial. As there was origin-
ally no definite attention, study or system devoted to the
breeding of trotters, the trotting horse for the turf was prac-
tically a conseqaence of phenomenal development. There
was not the breeding and training— as with the thorongh-
bred racer — to prepare the trotter for the turf. His price
was nearly according to his performance, and declined as he
failed in this quality, until at last the noted winner of his
day fell into the drudgery of a farm borBe or a draft brute of
the clam peddler. Racing was commonly held even lower
than the stage, aad while the average actor was shnnned by
respectable society and the pulpit inveighed against his pro-
fession, the patron and habitue of the race track was looked
upon as only a variety of gamester, and unfit for the associa-
tion of good people. The morality of tho turf was at very
low ebb. There were very few race courses in the country,
and only at the great running races on noted days was there
the attendance of respectable olasses. This was especially the
case in the North. New York and New Jersey stood alone
among the States north of Mason and Dixon's line and East
of the great lakes in which raoing was tolerated. In the
8outh — in Virginia and Tennessee, in Kentucky and Louis-
iana, there were annual races, in which thoroughbreds con-
tended, and the prominent in wealth, in public life and in
society attended; but in the north it would have damaged
the reputation and destroyed the popularity of a publio man
had he been seen on the race track. General Jackson and
Henry Clay were alike most virulently denounced in the
North, in their memorable contest for the Presidency, as
horse raoers and gamblers.

A breeding farm, one for trotters, would have been pro-
nounced as an abomination m that period, and the owners of
race horseB were accounted es disreputable. For the jock-
eys and trainers, and the ordinary frequenter of race tracks,
the feeling was mnch as though their presence was contam-
jnati ig. But in the West and South racing and breediug
had their lines of limit to respectability. The breeders and
ownerB of thoroughbreds and the patrons of the turf were
h\ : to be worthy and honorable gentlemen; but the man
wt/f1 run quarter races was as a moral leper, and only at the
m iL-ide lone tavern or at the grooery at "the corner," and by
only his "ornery" neighbors was he recognized as a caBua'
i"juaintanoe. A trotting watch was akin to a game of cut-

throat at short cards, and only the commonest of people at-
tended such racing. The sporting man was pointed out to
be avoided.

Mark the great change sinoe that period and note the char-
acUr of the turf Among the great breeders of runners and
trotters are the foremost in the land— in wealth, in worth, in
fame, honor, intelligence and noblest qualities. It is true of
the States eastward — equally true of California and of this
Pacific Coast. The breeding farms are vast and magnificent
estates. Millions of dollars are invested in them. The best
blood of every country in horses is sought and imported to
stock these farms. These gentlemen are public benefaotors
— they refine and elevate human nature, and improve and
develop to perfection the dumb animal most useful and most
valuable to man. They are enriching and advancing their
States and the whole oountry. They are educating and
training men to humane regard and better treatment, to
more intelligen' uses of the horse. Similarly, in degree>
training is advanced to an honorable and beneficent pursuit,
and the jockey is respected, tiuste^ and honored agreeably
as he Btrivt;B to rank in his high art, which has the elements
of a meritorious profession.

The great advancement in the morality of the turf is dem_
onstrated upon the turf itself, and ia our country, even more
gratifyiogly than it is in England. There the reformation
has gone far toward abating th*1 dishonest practices upon the
turf, and of excluding from it the characters who dishonored
it— the nobles the same as the commoners. The worth and
wealth, the beauty and the fashion, from royalty to the trades-
man, are delighted spectators at the great races. In America,
from Maine to Texas, from tbe Atlantic- to the Paoific, in
every State and Territory, the race course is the frequent en-
joyable resort of the people, from the highest in respectability,
in social position, greatest in honor and good name, to the
shoe-shiner who polishes the foot wear. None are OBtracised
because they visit the traok; it is noble sport to witness. The
buildings are oostly, sumptuous, excellently managed, and
track a d grounds are maintained in good order to the com-
fort, protection and delight of all. Refined ladies graoe and
throng the club house, the stands and the field in splendid
equipages. It is a joyous, exciting ennobling Bport — harm-
less as it is exhilarating. In these brilliant assemblages the
morality of the tnrf is an approved quality. It 1b lifted from
the lowly place to the elevated station; it is refined to the
degree of purity which is compatible with wholesome enjoy-
ment and cheering pleasure. The advancement has been
greater and better with the trotting turf, but racing has in
every respect much improved from the methods of past yearB.

ROD.

Dr. C W. Aby, Champion Angler.

"The above head is hardly correct. 'Liar' instead of 'An-
gler' would have suited better. When Dr. Aby visite i Lake-
port we gave him a great deal of true information about the
fish in clear Lake and the streams. We even told him about
tbe boys with their dogs chasing them around in the grain
fields, and both dogs and boys catching them by the hun-
dred. We even showed him the place and proved it all. We
also gave him an opportunity to kill three at one shot iu
passing along the road, and that, too, several miles from the
Lake or stream, merely in a ditch by the side of a road. He
still insisted we were all liars. We do not think the Doctor
wocld intentionally tell a lie, but he merely wants to adver-
tise Lake County as the fishing ground of the world, and cor-
rectly, too. See what he writes to the Breeder, and Sports-
man."— Lakeport Democrat.

(Oar confidence in Dr. Aby's skill with the rod is increased
by the spuming of the inveracious Damoarat man, who can
be nothing other than an envious follower of St. Peter. The
simple recital of a day's sport with fourteen worms and a lot
of catfish sent us by the Doctor two weeks ago, bore an un-
mistakable Btamp. Months ago the Doctor wrote about kill-
ing eighty-four snipe without a miss, aud we believed that
story; why cannot the pesky Lakeport scribe permit ub to ac-
cept as a verity this latest simple aunal from that most guile-
less of men, the Manager of Guenoc. If the Dootor was
made to B*y that he killed two tons of catfish with hook and
line in Beventeen minutes, using fourteen worms, has not the
Democrat mau knowledge enough of men to know that the
Doctor must have written one ton instead of two? An ample
apology is due from the Democrat man for pretending to
know anything about either Dr. Aby or catfish; he is prob-
ably up on suckers. — Ano. Ed]

Editor Breeder arid Sportsman: — I have just read a
book on the Art of Shooting, written by the jnstly celebrated
gun maker, Mr. Chas. Lancaster, son of Mr. Lancaster, the
inve tor of the central fire cartridge as applied to shot guns.
There is no one living who can so well impart information on
the art of wing shooting as Mr, Lancaster; this I believe, and
my reason for saying so is that the London papers are con-
stantly speaking in the highest terms of Mr. Lancaster both
as a crack London gun maker and particularly as a most
skillful instructor in the art of wing shooting.

It, is to be regretted that in this country there is not one
man of whom 1 know who can be justly called a "coach" on
shot gun shooting. I don't mean to say that there are not
plenty of men here who can shoot, for I am of the firm
opinion that there are more fine shots in America than in any
other country, but I don't know of a single gun maker who
is either competent or, if able, willing to instruct the novice
or more advanced sportsman in the art of wing shooting, at
any rate I have never met such an one, nor have I any
knowledge of any one in the gun business who gives lessons
in wing shooting.

Now, Mr. Lancaster has his own private shooting grounds
outside of London where rifles, pistols and shot-guns may
be tried on the target animate or inanimate for which the
weapon is intended. In the matter of rifles or pistolB, shoot-
ing at a mark is generally considered sufficient, let* it be
stationary or moving; with the shot-gun the case differs.
Here it is not a question of what a man can do at a target
but what he can accomplish when shooting at game, pigeons
or artificial birds. To meet their requirements, Mr. Lan-
caster has a supply of pigeons on his shooting grounds, also
clay pigeons, so that when the purchaser has selected a shot-
gun, all he has to do is to go to the suburbs of London and
then try for himself in actual servico whether the gun that
mounts perfectly in the shop is really a fit. We all know the
inestimable value of snch services when purchasing a high
priced shot gun, for it is well known that no man can tell to
a dead certainty just how a gun fits until he actually shoots
it at some swift moving object.

It stands to reason then that the man who is thus con-
stantly employed can write jnst such a book as tbe novice
will require, and, furthermore, as this volume is not written
to puff the Lancaster gun, it is sure to be well received in
America when men judge things from a practical standpoint;
in other words, the man that "gets there" in this country is'
the one we concur by.

I most cheerfully recommend this little volnmp, so differ-
ent from the books on guns we are accustomed to re*d, and
I'm sure that after its perusal no intelligent SDortsman will
regret the time or money it has cost him. " Gaucho.

Tbe deer season has opened in anspioionsly bad luck
having attended all shooting parties of -which we have in-
formation. It iB a backward season, and tbe bucks are yet
soft in horn and very Bhy. In Marin plenty of sign is to be
seen, but none have yet been killed. We hope to receive re-
ports next week from many readers about their success.

Sportsman's Association of the Northwest.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The tournament of
our association has closed and I enclose Bcores.

Prior to the shooting on the morning of the 19th., the an-
nual nieetiDg of the Sportsmen's Association of the North-
west was held, resulting in the election of the following offi-
cers: President, A. W. Du Bray, of Walla Wnlli; 1st Vice-
President, E. E. Ellis, of Tacoma; 2nd Vice Pnsident Jhb.
West, of Seattle; 3rd Vice-President, Dr. Britton, of Fort-
land; Secretary and Treasurer, H. T. Hudson, Portland, Or.

Montana was admitted (o the association, and it was de-
oidod to hold the next meeting and tournament iu Portland
next June.

A oommittee of one from each club in the association was
appointed to revise the by laws and constitution.

The tournament was well attended by sp rUmen from
Oregon, Montana, Washington and two from California Mr
C. J. Haas aud Dr. Britton, these two gentlemen beioe weli
known iu Snn Francisco as crack ihots and genuine sports-
men, the latter being known under his proper name will be
recognized in California.

During the last shoot for the Globe Trophy, the Dr and
Mr. H-ias not being eligible to shoot for the trophy it was
freely predicted that the Dr. would miss his last bird so as to

put himself in for secoDd money. To the surprise of all he
got his tenth bird straight, which shut him out of any
prizes, and turning to the wondering shooters present:
•'Gentlemen" the Br. remarked, "I shoot for pleasure and
not for money. I wouldn't have missed that bird for any-
thing and put myself in such a light before you."

The ladies present cheered him lustily, and more than half
of the better class present wrung his hand warmly, and will
not soon forget the noble action of the Doctor.

The tournament was managed fairly well. There was con-
siderable confusion, however, regarding ties, and inanimate
targets were not thrown strictly according to rules, no two
birds being thrown at same elevation and distance from
traos.

The scores appended are necessarily imperfect, as we found
it impossible to get a correct copy.

Mr. Z. Doty, of Seattle, won the Selby ba'lge for best aver-
age during tournament, using an L. C. Smith gun. Mr,
Gard Kellogg of same place, won second best average with a
Smith eun.

Mr. Dn Bray, of Walla "Walla, won the badge formerly held
by Mr. Moore, of Portland, on mixed targets using a Scott
gun.

Mr. J. M. Bell, of Tacoma, won the Globe Trophy, repre-
senting the championship of the northwest on live birds, the
latter trophy having cost $350.

Seattle sportsmen were entirely unprepared for the event,
having had no practice, and nearly all of them having been
burnt out in the late fire. The few who were present did
very well considering tJe circumstances; only about five or
six being present, whereas, there would have been twenty-
rive at least, but for the recent fire. Seattle contains more good
shots than any other city of its size that we know of. Thope
present did not shoot up to their average by any means. The
live bird shooting was very fair, the birds being an average
lot. Birds being scarce it was impossible to Bhoot off many
of the ties.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arpbippua.
SUMMARY.

Several important sporting eveDts took place during the
paBt week. The regatta was a grand succes. The wheel-
men's race meet was well patronized, and an immense crowd
of people gathered at Shell Mound Para to witnes the athletic
games of the Scottish Thistle Club.

RUNNERS. WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

The Olympic Club's "cross country" team will shortly
resume practice.

A "crosscountry" team composed of the longdistance
runners of the C. A. A. C. will be organized in the near
future.

Frank O'Kane of the O. C. will take part in the sprint runs
on Sept. 9th. This promising young runner says that he
will pay more attention to "starting'' in future, and that the
starter will never again have cauBe to put him back for false
starting.

The friends of Cassidy are confident of his ability to equal
SchifferBtein's 100 yards record of 10 seconds. Judging from
the good account he gave of himself at the championship
meeting of May 30th, Cassidy will yet be able to cope with
acv amateur runner in America.

Dick Jones, the well known athlete, recently tfiok onto
himself a wife. Like tbe majority of athletes that have
married during the past few year^, Mr, Jones has decided to
retire from the track.

C. A. Elkridge of the G. G. A. C. continues to improve as
a heel and toe walker, and at the next out-door meeting will
probably surprise some of tbe old time walkers.

There is no reason why mnsic should not be introduced at
athletic meeting. Besides adding to the enjoyment of the
spectators, a good band of music would do mnch towards
encouraging the runners and walkers to make faster time.
Tbe condition of Schifferstein's health will probably cause
him to retire irom the athletic world at an early date. Mr.
Schifferstein's heart is no doubt weak, and he should avoid
all violent exercise.

In addition to being a good athlete, Moffit of the University
Athletic Club, is an excellent scholar. At the recent Univer-
sity examination he won tbe gold medal for military tactics,
the gold medal for athletics, and the scholarship medal. This
is the tirBt time in the history of the University that the
three medals were won by the same sludent. Moffit will
next try hie hand at pole vaulting, and will soon commence
to practice with the intention of beating the Coast record at
the next open games. Judging from all accounts this popu-
lar University boy will succeed in his effort.

The games of the Scottish Thistle Club took place so late
in the week that we are compelled to hold over our account
of the different events until the next issue.

A prominent member of the C. A. C. suggests that it would
be a goon idea if the club would send a delegation of its ama-
teur athleteB to represent it at thb games of the Los Angeles
Athletic Club, which will be held on Thanksgiving Day.
There are two or three good men in the club who are fully
competent to carry off several first prizes, and whose appear-
ance at Los Angeles would do much towards elevating the
amateur branch of the C. A. O. Eastern athletic clubs send
teams to represent them in far off cities, and there is no reas-
on wb}' the San Francisco clnba should not follow suit.

Several well known athletes have been exercising at the
Bay District Track for the last couple of weeks. We presume
they are getting ready for the Admission Day games.

About 100 Indies and gentlemen assembled on the grand
stand at the Bay District Grounds one evening last week to
witness a half-mile race between two novices for $25 a side.
The contest afforded much amusement to the spectators, for,
on close observation it was plainly to be Been that the two
aspiring runners, (who looked decidedly fat) were better ac-
quainted with the German language, than with the "art of
training."

Quite a number of young men are anxious to find out if
there is any truth in the report that the monthly dues of the
C. A. A. C are soon to be reduced to one dollar. The pres-
ent dues $2.50 are entirely too high, and if the club deoides
to reduce tbem a large number of aspiring athletes will no
doubt apply for membership.

There is a rumor in circulation to the effect that a team of
Eastern athletes will viBit tbe Pacific Coast next fall. Let
them come on; we will be ready to fight them.

In England nil athletes are known by the colors that are
worn. Each man's colors are printed after his name on the
programme, This plan should be adopted on the Pacific
CoBHt, as the "number" system is not at all satisfactory. The
majority of the athletes here forget to wtar their numbers
and the spectators are unable to distinguish one runner from
another.

Tbe C. A. A. C. can boast of having half a dozen men in
its ranks who are capable of doing bettei than 5 feet in the
running high jump. Tbe mimes of these men are Carpenter,
Whelan, Gafoey, Foster, Sexsmith and Holland.

Two judges of walking should officiate at every athletic
meeting where there is a walking race inoluded on the pro-
gramme. At tbe last meeting of the P. C. A. A. A. the judge
of walking, instead of watohing the competitor?, undertook to
coaoh the ex-Eoglish champiou, Jarvis. Several remarks
were made by the audience in regard to this oircunistance,
but tbe club officials did not seem inclined to bother their
heads about the matter.

Tbe Western cbampionBhipp of the Amateur Athletic
Union were decided at Detroit, Mich , on Jnne 15th. Three
thousand persona were present to see tbe gam* s. There-
cords made ii; most of the events were not as good as tbe
Pacific Coast records. Tbe following are some of the events
in which the Paoifio Coaat records were not equalled: Half
m'.le rnn, 2 min 7 3-5 neo. One mile walk, 7 min. 34 aeo.
Pole vault. 8 ft. 9 in. Potting 16 lb. shot, 38 ft. $ in. Run-
uing long jump, 2l(t, 5 in. Running high jump, Mt.Mft.

THE WHEELMEN.

A. S. Ireland, the game little rider of the "Alameda
Scorchers," has retired from the track. Mr. Ireland has been
very ill of late, and his physician has ordered him to give up
racing.

A fall account of the meet at Stockton will be given in our
next issue.

Fred. C. Clift, of the "Alameda Scorchers," met with a very
painful accident last week while out riding. Mr. Clift was
unfortunate enough to take a "header," and the result was a
badly sprained knee. He hopes, however, to be able to com-
mence training soon for the walking event of the O. C.
games which will come off on September 9th.

A large number of wheelmen visit the Park every Saturday
afternoon and Sunday, and tbe ladies and children who are
in the habit of attending the concerts are often amused by
the funny tricks which some of the riders perform.

The wheelmen make a great mistake in not including some
athletic events on their programmes. Two or three foot
races, interspersed with the bicycle events, would add more
excitement to the day's sport.

A meeting of the Bay City Wheelmen was held on Monday
evening last at tbeir club room on Van Ness avenue. The
following league officers were nominated: R. M. Thompson
of San Francisco, Chief Consul; J. Phil. Percival of Los
Angeles, Vice-Consul; Walter D. Sheldon of Sau Franoisco,
Secretary and Treasurer; Representatives — C. C. Moore of
Stookton, Arthur C. McKenna of San Jose, and John W.
Gibson of San Francisco. The election will take place be-
tween July 15th and August 15th.

AT THE OARS.

ThomaB GihoD, the Montgomery street jeweler, is one of
the beBt oarsmen on the Pacitio Coast. Mr. Gihon does not
believe in racing; he takes to the oars merely for pleasure's
sake; and never misses a Sunday without taking a long spin
on the bay.

The regatta on the 4th was a splendid success in every
way. The different wharves were crowded with people anx-
ious to get a look at the races. The names of the winners
will be given in our next issue.

The seventeenth annual regatta of the National Association
of Amateur Oarsmen will be held August Sth and 9th over
Pullman course, i ear Chicago, 111. The races will be open to
the world.

The regatta of the Mississippi Valley Amateur Rowing
Association will take place at Pullman, August 8th-10th.

The Triton Boating and Swimming Club is about to move
from its present quarters at the foot of Mason street to more
comfortable rooms on Larkin street. The old club-house
will probably be purchased by a yacht club recently organized
at the North Beach.

EXHIBITION NIGHT AT THE OLYMPIC CLUB.

The regular monthly exhibition of tbe Olympic Athletic
Club took place in the gymnasium of the club last week.
Several valuable medals were conleated for by the members.
The programme began with a fence-vanlting contest, in which
G. H. Hamersly, J. G. Hooper, D. W. Donnellv, T. Allorelli.
P. P. Bernhard, H. A. Denhard and W. G. Zelner partici-
pated. Zelner won the first prize, with a leap of six feet
seven inches. Denhard was second. Club-swinging by H.
J. McGill followed, after which came the rope-climbing
contest. W. H. Haberly succeeded in climbing twenty-two
feet in eight and one-half seconds, and as this was the best
record he was awarded the first medal. W. P. Henry took
the second prize. W. Gallagher and J. L. Lafferty then
sparred three lively rounds, alternating with J. V. Harrison
and R. McAithur. The entertainment closed with an exhi-
bition "fake" fight, in which H. J. McGill and Ben Bogner
were tbe principals. The ludicrous actions of the two men
caused much merriment amongst the audience. The exhibi-
tion wbb in every way a succesB.

IN THE SURF.

The weather on Sunday last and during the early part of
week was tinnsaally warm, and as a consequence tbe bath-
houses did a rushing business.

At Monterey, Santa Cruz and Capitola the weather has
been very warm during the past couple of weeks, and crowds
of people daily enjoy a dip in the surf at theBe resorts.

The crowd at the Terraoe Baths in Alameda last Sunday
was so great that many persons were unable to obtain suits.

Gus Ungerman, tbe champion wrestler is a frequent visi-
tor at the Crystal Baths. Mr. Ungerman is an artistic swim-
mer, and the ladies never fail to admire bis daring feats.

A young machinist named Barton was severely bitten by a
dog-fish while swimming in the Raocoon Straits on Sunday
last. Barton was over a quarter of a mile from shore at the
time. This should be a warning to young men who are in
the habit of swimming out a loug distance from the shore.
There is no telling when a school of these dog-fish will spring
up.

It is a well known fact that out of every dozen people that
enter the water not more than four or five can swim.

HOOK AND LINE.

The muddy state of the water on Sunda; last prevented
the fish from biting, and at Tiburon, Lime Point and other
places the fisbfng was exceedingly poor. Ooly one or two
good oetohes were reported.

Several very large black bass were caught at the Crystal
Springs lake on Sunday last.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

Work is being rapidly pushed at tbe Harbor View training
grounds, and it is expected that all the improvements will be
oomplete by August 1st. During the absence of ^resident
Philo Jacoby, Capt. A. H. Lean will superintend the work.
A high fenoe, whioh is intended to shelter the athletes from
the cold breeze of the ocean, has already been-ereoted, and
the dressing rooms and shower baths are now being put up.

A meeting of the P. C. A. A. A. will be held next week.

Almost every day we hear of a new athletic club being or,
ganized. These clubs should not be called athletio clnbs-
tbey are in reality prize fighting clubs, and should not be > ti-
eouraged. Pugilism has advanced so far in the City tha'
forty per cent of the population aspire to be "sloggert.", and t
is not safe for a respectable man to express bis opinion in a
public place. The Major should make some effort to Btop
these "exhibition."

The amatner wrestlers of the C. A. A. C. will not be allowed
to take part in the coming championship tournament which
will be held under the auHpicea of the O. C, The offioera of
tbe C. A. C. are determined that (heir athletes shall not mix
themselves up with tbe "dirty" Olympaioa.

Now that the two leading athletic clubs will have training
grounds of their own the question is what will become o(
tb« old. grounds at \MX\ and. Centre Streets, Oakland?

The intention of the Directors of thiB Association Is to make this place a central point for racing in
California. They recognize the fact, that in order to do'io. they have got to Give large purses in order to get
first-class horses. Knowing they hava as well-appointed grounds and as good a track as there is in Cali-
fornia, having first-class stabling and the best Clnb Honse on any track in California, and plenty of fine
grass for horses the whole year, and by dealing justly and fairly with the horsemen, we hope to receive
their patronage. We are situated about half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles, which makes it
an accessible point for the patronage of the whole State.

Being aware that the responsibility, to a great extent, of the Association, is not known outside of our
own State, we herewith at:ach a certificate, signed by the Banks of this Ciiy, as to the responsibility of the
Association.

Gexilemen:- We have used Ossidine for the past two vears
and consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone
and Spavins; there is nothing equals it; and for us it effected a
permanent cure where firingiailed, although perfo med by one of
the most successful veterinarians on the continent. We have
recommended it to others with like success, and believe it has
more merit than anv blister ever used.

Very respectf uUv yours, S. A. BROWNE k Co., Prop's.

San Mieruel Stock Farm-

Br Gbim.

Did you ever take a drive over the Contra Costa bills on a
bright summer morning, before it became too hot to make
the atmosphere oppressive? Well, I did last Saturday morn-
ing, in company with Mr. Irwin Ayres. the proprietor of the
San Miguel Stock Farm. In the early days of Contra CoBta
County the small valleys were not dotted all over as at pres-
ent with orchards, vineyards and small farms, which add to
the attractiveness of the natural scenery, for which the old
Fish Ranch Road has been celebrated these many years.
"When seated behind two tine Mamrbino Wilkes mares it does
not take long to cover a distance of ground, especially when
you have an entertaining travelling companion with you.
Mr. Ayres has been many years on the Pacific Coast, always
interested more or less in the welfare of the equine race,
and for several years supplied the United States Army in this
State with the necessary horses for cavalry service. With a
quick eye for the good points of a horse, and keen percep-
tion in discerning those which had a taint of suspicion, he
made rapid headway, and it was not long before he was con-
sidered one of the best judges of a horse in California. In the
■course of time he secured possession of Mambrino Wilkes,
which had been bred by B. J, Treacy of Ashland Park, Lex-
ingtoD, Ky. The horse stood at Stockton for some time, the
majority of the mares sent him beiDg of an inferior order.
He was then taken to Mr. Ayres' place, near Fort Bidwell,
where he served bs an ordinary stock horse, his get being so
handsome that the attention of horse fanciers in that neigh-
borhood was attracted to him. When the San Miguel Stock
Farm was purchased, Mr. Ayres installed Mambrino Wilkes
as Lord of the Harem, and right well has he performed his
duty, as the splendid array of youngsters attest to.

This prince of royal blood is by Geo. WilkeB 519, d3m Lady
Chrisman by Todhnnter's Mambrino; second dam by Pilot
Jr., who was the sire of the dams of Maud S., 2:08£, Jay-Eye-
See, 2:10, Nutwood, 2:18|, Viking, 2:19£, Pilot Boy, 2:20,
Naiad Queen, 2:20J, and others.

Should there be any surprise that a stallion bred in such
extremely fashionable lines is a producer of greBt speed?
Certainly not, for if trotters are not to be had from the loins
of such as this, where will one have to look for them? Gns
Wilkes, 2:22, was the first of his progeny to demonstrate
speed, and it was not long before the son of old Fancy was
away low down in the "twenties." Alpheus, another son,
soon entered the charmed circle, making a record of 2:27
while still another son, Balkan, notwithstanding he suffered
during all of last season with Epizootic, managed to gain a
three-year-old record of 2:29£. These three eons speak
volumes of praise for the sire, and if he had only had the
proper opportunities, there is no telling where Mambrino
Wilkes would stand to-day among the great speed Droducers
of America.

On arriving at the farm we were cordially received "by Mr.
J. Smith Hill, the superintendent of the establishment, one
of the best men in the State to handle youngsters. An in-
spection was made of the new stable and barn accommoda-
tions, which are almost completed, for the reception of those
that it maybe necessary to place under cover, and really it
seems as though there must be room for all there are on the
place, the building'being of such enormous size. There is
ample space for wagons, buggies, sulkies and exercising
carts, in addition to the enormous hay mows which are over-
head. The lower floor is separated and made into great
roomy box stalls, each twelve by sixteen feet, giving plenty
of moving room for the occupants. After a hearty luncheon
had been dispensed with, an adjournment was taken to the
stall, wherein is kept the pride of the San Miguel Stock
Farm.

When Mambrino Wilkes 6083 was brought out, I could not
restrain an exclamation of surprise at his beauty and sym-

metrical form. It is now many years ago Bince first I saw
Fillingham (the name George Wilkes was originally known
by), but the memory still retains the conformation as per-
fectly as though seen but yesterday. In this son of his is
the same head and neck, with a slight improvement in the
body, Mambrino Wilkes being a heavier muscled horse than
his sire, and has the appearance of being much larger. In
color he is a perfect black, stands over sixteen hands in
height, and is one of the most stylish animals in California.
There is not a spot about him that I would change if I could*
with the exception of his near fore and hind feet, they beiDg
slightly contracted, due more to the blacksmith than to any
other reason. He is the personification of all that is beauti-
ful in the equine form, and Mr. Ayars may be congratulated
on owning one of the best finished horses in the State.

The brood mares and foals always have a charm for me,
and although likely at times to become enthusiastic over a
grand looking stallion, it is to the producing dams that I
always pay most attention. Master Chailey Ayers was
kind enough to saddle his pony and gently drive the mares
from one of the large pastures to a smatl paddock, where they
could be examined at leisure. The first one to claim our
consideration was Contra by Electioneer, dam Mrs. Newby
by Billy Cheatham, a son of Cracker, by Boston. To those
who believe in thoroughbred lines in the trotter, nothing can
be better than this, for the Boston blood is acknowledged by
one and all as the very best to nick with trotting Btock.

Contra gives a bad impression when looked at for the first
time, as her hocks are deformed, but the progeny have been
perfect in form, two of her colts, one by Le GraQde selling
for $1,000, and a yearling by Antevolo sold for the same
amount. The suckling at her side is going to be a bay or
browD, and is a very shapely youngster, large and well pro-
portioned, a credit alike to Mambrino Wilkes and Contra.

Annie Laurie, by Echo, dam Black Swan by Tenbroeck,
when a three -year-old, made a record of 2:30, and was always
a game and consistant mare. She is a bay, foaled in 1877,
and has a bay yearling filly by Clovis.

Fannie Fern is fast approaching the sere and yellow leaf
age, but she has produced bo many good ones that if there
are none others, her mission may be said to have been suc-
cessfully accomplished. She is a pretty bay, by Jack Ha'w-
kins, he by Boston; her dam a Jim Crow mare. Fannie
Fern has to her credit Molly Drew, 2:27, Balkan, 2:29£, who
will, bar accident, touch very near the "twenty mark" this
year. Fred Arnold, 2:33£, and Onjx (trial) 2:40. Arnold
also has a record of 5:09 for two miles, made in the third
heat of a race. The foal at her side is a horse colt by Mam-
brino Wilkes and is a likely looking customer.

Narka is a bay mare foaled in 1882 by Nephew, 1,220, dam
Baby by Chieftain, 721. This beautiful matron has a fine
brown colt at her side by Mambrino Wilkes, which promises
to be a good one if appearances are not deceptive.

Nana was bred by Trahern and Dudley of Stockton, and
purchased by Mr. Ayers for breeding purposes. She was
injured when young, which prevented her from making a
record, although showing very fast in training. Nana is bay
in color, 15.2 hands high, her sire being Nephew, dam Lady
Wolden by Woodburo. She has added one to the large num-
ber of foals at the farm, the sire being the same as of the
other foals.

My attention was attracted to a very handsome foal which,
whenever the band would start away, was always in the lead.
This filly is an inbred Mambrino Wilkes, being by that
stallion out of Fredolia; the dam of the latter is a daughter
of Mambrino Wilkes out of "The Beach Mare." This black
suckling gives great promise and is a natural trotter.

Fancy is, in my mind, a mighty brood mare, if only because
she has foaled Gus Wilkes, 2:22, to the embrace of Mambri-
no Wilkes, but I saw a yearling out of her by the same sire,
that, if all signs do not fail, should prove a speedier horse

than any she has yet foaled. Kodiac i"b, of course, a full
brother to Gus Wilkes, but is a much better put up horse.
He shows any quantity of power, is magnificently muscled,
has grand legs, moves well and has all the outward semblance
of a high class trotter. Fancy also has a brown filly at foot,
a full sister to Gus Wilkes and Kodiac, whieh should be as
good as the others.

Molly Fern is out of the grand old brood mare Fanny
Fern by Capt. Kohl, he by Whipple's Hambletonian. Mollie
has an extraordinary fine horse colt by her side by Mambrino
Wilkes, and as her mother was a great speed producer and
the top blood lines are also of the best, this youngster should
make a mark for himself.

The bay mare Piracy has as a sire Dr. Hick's famous horse
Buccaneer, her dam Louise, by Geo. M, PatchaD, Jr. It is
only a short time ago that the Breeder and Sportsman had
a loDg article on the merits of Geo. M. Patchen, Jr., as a
speed producer, and it was so conclusive, to my mind, that I
like to find his blood in any mare; it is, in fact, the hell
mark, to me, that stamps the breeding as being away above
the average. Piracy also has a strain of the celebrated Blue
Bull blood, which should make her a first class mare, more
especially as imported Priam was the yire of her third dam,
giviDg a good thoroughbred cross just where many think it is
best. She haB a great sturdv, strong colt by Mambrino
Wilkes, who gives promise of equaling, if not excelling, any
of the youngsters on the farm.

Maud is a fine bay mare by Don Juan, he by Speculator;
the dam being a daughter of Young Niagara, a son of Niagara.
She has a very handsomely formed filly by Mambrino Wilkes.

Cora has trotted in 3:00 and is a fine, large bay mare, but
not satisfied with her o*n conformation she has proved her
prolific qualities by dropping twins to the cover of the king
of the harem, both of whom are hardy and strong, the mother
evidently having nourishment enough for the pair.

One of the best of the matrons, viewed with an eye to gen-
eral conformation, is Virginia, by Brown's Bellfounder, who
was a son of imp Bellfonnder. Virginia is a grand old mare
and has bequeathed to her progeny the same fine liniments
that she herself possesses; a good head, neck and body,
while the youngster's legs could not be improved on. This
hearty little filly, which is a counterpart of Virginia, has the
bearing of a trotter and may prove one of the best on the San
Miguel Farm.

But here I am, rattling away at the rate of a mile a minute,
never tired of saying good things about brood mares; if I
mentioned about each of them separately, it would take more
space than can be spared; but there are any quantity still
that might be mentioned, one especially, a magnificent de.
scendant of the Moor. The mare is called Satsuma, and is by
the Grand Moor. She has all the characteristics of this no-
ble family, and should prove a fitting cross for such a stal-
lion as lords it at Walnut Creek.

Of the foals of 1S8S, mention has already been made of one
the foal of Fancy; however Chaldean, on individuality, is
almost his equal. This fine colt is out of Fredolia, and is
good enough for any one. He can already show a fine gait at
the trot, and under the skillful handling of Mr. Hill, will
undoubtedly prove a very fast one next year, for it may as
well be stated here that Mr. Ayres is opposed to preparing
yearlings for a race, a decision in which I entirely agree with
him. It is true that records given to the infants tend to
heighten the reputation of a sire, but where there is one that
has continued to improve, when trained at that early age,
scoreB are never heard of again.

Istar claims the blood of Mambrino Wilkes and Narka in
her composition, and is a thirfty looking filly, on the it
ing order. Having the Nephew strain, backed up t
Chieftain, the sire of Defiance, 2:17|, Onward, 2
2:26, and Flora, 2:30, Istar should prove another ■
galaxy of talent which I hope to see pminate from Mr.
place.

July 13

A large, strong, handsome filly is Mylitta, by Mambrino
Wilkes, oot of Mollie Fern. Her powerful quarters and
great broad back, showing indications of unusual endurance,
especially as she has agood clean sec of limbs.

Anato is another young one worthy of a good word; she is
by Clovis, a stallion of whose get I expect great things, and
out of Annie Laurie, mention of whom is made above.
Beltis is by Echo Koyal, out of Piracy, and is another of this
rare lot that is entitled to commendation. She will make a
grand mare in time, and is fit to mingle with the many choice
ones that abound at this perfect horse haven.

It was well toward dusk before the inspection was com-
pleted, and the invigorating country air had given us an
appetite that only an old fashioned dinner could appease,
and right royally did we do justice to the viands which Mrs.
Hill had prepared for the hungry guests. After an agreeable
evening spent in conversation, and a good night's sleep, an
early start was effected, Mount Diablo, still casting its
shadow aB we trotted away toward the Pacific Ocean, the sun
casting rays ahead of us, as though lighting us on our way.
And what a grand sight it was as we travelled down the
mountain side, Oakland, figuratively speaking, at our feet,
while the bay, and San Francisco in the distance, looked
more like a mirage, as a mammoth bank of fcg rolled in,
obscuring the ocean from our view, but still presenting a
scene that can be witnessed no where but in this, the Golden
State. _

Training and Driving.

Wbittes for the Bheeder and Sportsman.

Track driving is styled by many as an art. When seen in
its highest perfection it ranks with the arts beyond denial.
That is, the mechanical arts. When in the midBt of a close
and exciting finish, in which apparently every horse is doing
his utmost to win, watch the devices of a skillful driver as he
tries to get there first. If he is an intelligent man he is
probably acquainted with every peculiarity of his horse, and
every move the horse makes signifies something to him. He
knows to a nicety when the horse is going at his best rate,
and whether it would be advisable to try to extract "another
link." He has other ways of telegraphing to the horse that
he wants more speed, without cracking the whip over him —
and he knows that with a generous horse Mb chance to win
is enhanced by letting the whip alone.

This kind of driving, however, is something the ordinary
owner of horses does not indulge in. His speeding is con-
fined to "brushes" on the road with some friend. It is quite
a knack to drive a road horse well. There is some knowledge
necessary to "settle" a horse at once, after he has made a dis-
asterous break. Regarding Jong drives., it ia unquestionably
true that some drivers can go 50 miles a day with more ease
and less fatigue to the horse than other drivers can go 40
miles, all the conditions being equal.

Colt driving is almost a business of itself, and the utmost
care, combined with an accurate degree of knowledge is
necessary to attain the beet results. Many drivers do not
seem to see any difference between a colt and a horse.
Every time they take him out they "feel" of him, i. e. they
speed him at his best clip. I think too much curiosity about
a colt's speed is among the worst trails a driver can have.
The same holds good in the case of an aged horse, as it is
my belief that when a horse is in condition, and his driver
knows it, when he can show his regular speed in places, it
is not worth while to drive him miles out against the watch.
If he is in condition and feels good, and is naturally a reason-
ably game horse, he will last. I think I have seen races lost
by horses that had been too highly tried, that they would
have won, had they been differently handled. There are
many running and trotting horses who win their races in a
gallop, or on a jog, about one week before the day of the
actual contest. Upon the latter occasion the horse finishes
some distance in the rear, and the trainer says, "he don't
seem to be able to go any to-day!" As I have said he trotted
his race four or five days before. He was perhaps given four
heats in 2:26, 2:26A, 2:244, 2:26£. On the day of the race he
gets beaten in 2:29*. 2:30, 2:30£, 2:S2. Men whe have
wagered their money on the strength of the horse's trial,
lose what they pot in, and either curse the horse for a rank
quitter, or curse the driver for being dishonest. Probably
both horse and driver did aD they could. In the language
of an old time driver, "they wbb willin', Bhore, but they
couldn't git thar."

If a colt destined for the track has been properly fed and
cared for, he will naturally want to work off biB exuberant
Bpirits. This can be done to a Bulky or very light cart in
6uuh a way that the colt thinks bis exercise is fun. As Boon
as a colt (a yearling or two-year-old) BhowB that he is tired,
let up on him for that day.

If a colt is to be trotted as a yearling, it is advisable to
hitch him up when he is about S or 9 months olds. Have a
little harnesa made for him which will not chafe or annoy
him, and drive him around without being hitched to any-
thing until he is thoroughly "waywise." Teach him to stop
at your command; to back and to obey you implicitly in all
things. Next hitch him to a very light and low sulky or
cart, and drive him slowly a few times. Be very careful at
'.lis part of the programme that be is not hurt nor scared.
Most all colts of that age are as docile and tractable after
being handled a few times, as if they had been used to the
same thing for years— you can then turn him out until snob
Mme as you want to commence driving and training him for
uis race or races. He will of course have grown considerably
bince you last hitched him up, bnt the advantages of driving

him when you did, will now appear. Instead of having to
"break" him (which term I dislike at this later period,) which
would excite and worry him, you can now harness him, and
he will go off quietly, and hia education for speed can at
once commence. The above course I deem preferable to
waiting until 3 or 4 months before the race takes place, and
then harnessing him for the first time, as is sometimes done.

Every condition should be just right when hiB leseona in
speeding commence. The colt should feel good; the harness
should fit perfectly; the sulky should be light. If you are
near a track, and there is any part of it that descends— even
ever so little — that's the spot to move him fa&t. Colts are
very sensible animals; they know considerably more than
the average man gives them credit for, and they very soon
learn what is required of them, if the teaching has been
properly conducted. After a colt is speeded a few times on
a certain part of a track, or a certain spot in the road, he
will want to go fast whenever he comes to the same place
He can gradually be speeded farther and father, until he can
do a quarter of a mile at hia beBt rate. It is questionable
whether for a yearling race, it is imperatively necessary to
speed a colt farther than a half mile. Some handlers advo-
cate one method, and some another. It would be my opinion
in the case of a well bred colt, that if he was in first-class
shape, and could show a fast half, he would do for a mile.

A straight bar bit will be found preferable to any other for
driving a yearling or two-year-old. For a yearling the bit
had best be wrapped with cloth when you first begin to
drive him. This renders the bit soft and yet hard erough to
control him easily. There are many different kinds of bits,
for older horses, and the characteristics of the horse is the
only sure way of telling what kind is adapted to him individ-
ually. I like an all rubber bit for some road horses, although
they will not do for all. Some hard mouthed horses will
quit pulling as soon as a rubber bit is put on them. Other
horses that hardly pull enough will go up against a rubber
bit, when they will not against any other style. I remember
seeing in a newspaper, and it was extensively copied, a short
treatise on Bits, and the author's display of ignorance was
lamentable and unfortunate. He said, among other things,
"never drive a horse with an all rubber bit." No horseman
would put himself on record by such a statement. All
makes and varieties of bits have their admirers and support-
ers, from the old time plain snapple, to the modern Crit
Davis "spoonbill."

I think it preferable to work a horse without blinders.
"When driven without blinders he becomes used to every
thing behind him, and the vehicle and general paraphernalia
do not scare him. If he be one of the nervous excitable kind
and shows a tendency to break and act badly when he sees
a whip, or when a sudden motion is made behind him, it
would then be advisable to put blinders on him. For a level-
headed colt I should prefer an open bridle for various reasons,
at least on most occasions, excepting when he trotted a race
and might be frightened by some other driver's whip.

The advisability of training and trotting two-year-olds and
yearlings is a debatable question, with interminable argu-
ments and proofs upon both sides. Those opposed to the
practice of racing youngsters are very "set" in their con-
victions, while many of the opposition ridicule the idea of
its being detrimental to a colt to race him young, provided
he be properly trained and cared for. Much depends, I think,
upon the gait of the colt. Some colts are much smoother
and better gaited than others, and trot with less waste
action. They also require less weight to properly balance
them. It would certainly be my opinion that it would re-
quire much attention and care to successfully carry through
a BeaBon, a yearling trotter without injury, although it has
been many times done. If a man has a really good and fast
colt, that he has reason to believe will make a race horse
when he gets age, it would be much safer to let him alone as
a yearling or a two-year-old. The yearling stakes in this
State amount to very little at best, (why just as much money
Bhonld not be given for yearlings as for three-year-olda I
don't know) and when a man wins a race with a yearling,
the principal thing he wins is glory. Glory is a nice thing,
but it don't pay expenses.

Harvey W. Peck.

The Thoroughbred Defined.
A Michigan exchange, in writing of this horse, says:
Let us look at the thoroughbred apart from his qualities as
a race horse. In form he is a model of strength and allied
with beauty. His courage is equal to any emergency, and
hiB gameness will make him straggle to the death. His bone
is the densest and hardest given to any breed; his tendons
and muscles the strongest and most elastic. He is bred so
as to make him the most prepotent of all domestic animals.
There is no one conversant with the various breeds of horses
who will not acknowledge the thoroughbred to be possessed
of these qualities to a greater degree than any other family
of the horse. And here is where his true usefulness lies.
The qualities bred in him for a century and a half he has the
power of imparting to his progeny to a wonderful degree.
To the fourth generation his blood will assert itself. He
can be used, therefore, to give to other families of the horse
the qualities for which he is noted and which they lack.
And nearly every breed of any prominence owes something
to the thoroughbred. The Frenoh Coacher isnearly thorough-
bred, aB his pedigrees published by the Importers conclu-
sively show. The Cleveland Bay derives bis best qualities
from the some source. That truly American horse, the Mor-
gan, is largely thoroughbred in its origin; and when we come
to the American trotter, consider how much he oweB to the
fountain to which the others are fo much indebted. Take
out Messenger, Diomed and Trustee, all imported English
thoroughbreds, and where would the American trotter stand?
Take the trotting families of to-day, Hambletonians, Clays,

Mambrinoe, Golddusts, Pilots and Morgans, and does any-
one believe it possible that they would be what they are
to-day without the help of the thoroughbred? It is the
source to which to look for the highest speed and courage,
the most intelligence and the longest lived of all the families
of the horse.

The system of breeding which has made the thoroughbred
what he is being followed by the breeders of the American,
trotting horse, which the added advantage, through the exten.
sion of the art of printing, of having the records of their
work imperishably preserved. The trotter is every day get-
ting nearer to the thoroughbred in its obility to impart its
special qualities to its progeny, and when it has reached that
piont it will have got close to it3 ultimate limit. Yes, we
like the thoroughbred, and we never yet seen a class of horses
which his blood did not improve, whether it was intended
for the carriage, the plow or the road. Why should we not
admire him?

Keminiseences of "Frank Forester."

Twin Franks, of the sohools of fin, fur and feather, and
contemporaneous, Frank Buckland and Frank Forester will
be remembered. Frank Forester made the United States,
his adopted country, the field and scene of his exploits and
his writings, and, brilliant fellow as he was, in each he has
left a name endeared to true sportsmen and admired by all
who have read or known of him. "Frank Forester" was a
nun de plume. His name was Henry William Herbert. An
Englishman by birtb, of noble lineage and excellent family,
he received thorough university education in hiB native land,
and in the full vigor of fresh manhood came to America.
Philadelphia aDd New York he mainly made his dwelling
places. His death was in 1S5S. As a writer, critic, reviewer,
author, he was gifted, able, accomplished and brilliant. He
was the translator of Eugene Sue's "Mysteries of Paris" and
"The Wandering Jew," published by Winchester, and au-
thor of other works; but it was in his "Field Sports of the
United States," hiB "Deer-Stalker," and his "Warwick
Woodlands" that he gave vent to his flow of soul and flashed
his brilliancy with unequalled fascination and every charm
of fervor and enthusiasm, inspired by his natural love of
every noble sport, to the measure of his faultless diction and
his enrapturing art of entertaining narrative. He was the
master of the sports of the field, of the brook, of the illimita-
ble realm of manly and ennobling sports, and his adventures
were described in manner most felicitous, with that fine qual-
ity of vivacity, grace and unreserve which enlisted the sense,
aroused emotion and wrought conviction from guileless
candor. He did more for the broad field of sporting in this
country than any other of his period, and the delights and
benefits of his works and lessons will endure.

I became acquainted with Frank Forester in 1S43, while he
was enjoying the season of woodcock and quail in Warwick,
Orange County, N. Y. — the scene of his "Warwick Wood-
lands." In his company was a Mr. WTilkins of Philadelphia,
a gentleman of wealth and culture, and an accomplished
sportsman, a tine shot, and genial companion. The two
stopped at the Warwick Hotel, kept by old Tom Ward —
called by Forester in his "WTarwick Woodlands" Tom Draw,
the name reversed. Ward was a hnge ton of flesh, nearly
six feet stature, but his great bulk made him look much low-
er standing apart from others. He was an enthusiastic lover
of field game, ■nas an excellent shot, and could go afoot all
day with alacrity and without fatigue equal to any. He kept
a fine breed of dogs, pointers and retrievers, and had great
pride in his Purdys— the crack gun of the period. But be
had two guns and a rifle, made by a local gunsmith of much
celebrity, and these he most highly valued for unfailing ac-
curacy. Old Tom wbb a character, noted the whole country
around. His tavern was upon the main road, with eight or
nine steps to the porch, and on this, he usually rested, sit-
ting upon two stout hide-bottomed chairs, turned and tilted
so that the back of each supported either arm, his huge body
filiii :: the seats of both, as he gently waved and swayed as
he glibly talked — and he was an entertaining talker when in
the humor. He ate only rice and milk, in order to keep
down his flesh, yet it constantly grew upon him. This diet
had been recommended by his country physicians, who had
not learned that starchy food is the very thing to abstain
from to reduce the flesh, and the old fellow scrupulously ad
hered to the advice of his doctor. His weight was over 400
pounds and gradually increasing. He possessed enormous
muBcular strength. In the large room of the tavern was a
round table of extraordinary size and solid make. It was the
habit of the Falataffian host, after each meal daily, to roll his
huge form upon this table, with bis ponderous legs high up
as he could extend them. This seemed like the clumsy an-
tics of an elephant at play. Another quality of these rollings
need not be desoribed. Ward's son was a chip of the old
block— a lad of fifteen, full of fan and fond of hunting. The
cranberry marshes a few miles distant were favorite haunts
to him, and his dog was his inseparable companion.

At the time I speak of, Robert Sinclair, a noted sporting
man of New York City, familiarly known as Bob, then a
bank teller, and subsequently the host of the well-known
Woodcock Housein the great city, with a companion, was
also a guest of Ward's on the woodcock and quail shoot.
Sinclair was a famous raconteur, a plump, hearty, rosy,
smooth-faced, jolly son of Scotia, and a model to copy in
his manner of neatness and care in his dress, even in his
fielding suits. His dogs were unexcelled in training and
performance, and of highly valued lines. Wilkins alone was
the equal of jovial Bob in Bhooting. The two teams hunted
in destructive grounds by agreement— old Tom WTard along
with Herbert and Wilkins, Sinclair and his companion.
Every day the two or three of ns who took different fields,
and were leBa expert, evenly enjoyed the feasting assured by
the two master teams.

Herbert was of impetnona, imperious Dature, and at times
of much nervous strain very irritable. When stirred to
momentary, sndden excitement he was liable to impulsive,
rash acts, which be intensely regretted a moment after-
ward, and agreeably to the pain or hurt he occasioned an-
other, his Borrow and self-reproach were agonies of mind
prolonged to actually prostrating consequences. Tntent upon
his game, he was completely absorbed in it, and neither man
nor dog was safe from his burst of passion in the event of an
interruption that spoiled his shot. It was an unconquerable
fault, an irrepressible impulse.

One bright morning that July the teams started out, each
with the prescribed boucds understood. The day became
insufferably warm. Ward's son and our little party remained
all day at the house. It was not until nearly sundown that
Herbert, Wiikins and old Tom returned, in the cooling Bhades
of the woodlands intervening. Sinclair and hie companion,
who was a sargeon, came in soon after. As the bags of game
were deposited it was plain that each party had enjoyed a
day or rare sport. There was, however, a strange quietness
and unnatural movements among the Herbert-Wilkins-Ward
party. Old Tom was not so jolly and full of joke as usual.
Herbert seemed anxious and Wiikins looked troubled. The
moment Sinclair and the sargeon returned Wiikins spoke to
the latter in low tone, and though no word was distinguished,
it was manifest that there was something Berious involved.
Herbert nervously walked to and fro across the room. Tom
Ward stood leaning against the table. Soon Wiikins beck-
oned to Herbert and then whispered to Ward. The three,
with the Burgeon, retired lo the room adjoining. In lesB
than a quarter of an hour the signal was given tor dinner.
Ab we entered there sat Ward in his accustomed place, and
about hi6 neck was the large white wrapping which he had
worn on his return from the hunt. He moved his head with
unusual care, as if his neek pained him; but he was jolly
and talkative. Wiikins' fear showed relief at something;
Herbert was Bilent and seemed under restraint. The surgeon
was in lively good humor. In a few minutes Old Tom spoke
out in loud, kindlv, bantering tone, addressing Herbert:
"I'll tell you, Herbert, how we'll settle it. You send me a
barrel of the best rice you can fiud in New York when yon
get back, and we'll try luck again to-morrow, every man to
shoot over his own dog." That broke the icy crust which
had prevailed, and thence on until the meal waB concluded—
a longer sitting than cuBtomary it was, too— all of us at table
enjoyed a singularly jovial time in that tavern of habitual
good cheer and hearty contentment. Daring the sitting,
which finished in a symposium, the whole story came out to
brighten the fun and make ail the merrier. It was a serio-
comico matter.

It appeared that after a day of splendid sport and rousing
good luck in finding birds, in the middle of the afternoon,
when about five mileB away from the house, Herbert's point
er flushed a brace of woodcook near a thick clump of low
growth, and he was just ready to pull triggers when bang!
went a discharge from behind some trees a little in advance,
to his rignt. The next instant he saw Ward, and, near him,
Ward's dog. It was his own dog that flushed the birds, but
Ward was too eager for the shot, and, supposing it was his
dog that did it, he blazed away and spoiled Herbert's shot.
In his hasty passionate impulse Herbert instantly discharged
hiBgun at Old Tom, and took him in the neck and upper
part of his back. O d Tom roared and turned. Herbert at
once shouted for Wiikins, and ruBbed to Old Tom's side.
The game old Leviathan of Warwick stood his ground. He
neither ran nor fell, but held to his gun with one hand and
was endeavoring to reach the back of his neck with the other.
Herbert begged a thonsand pardons and expressed his intense
regret. Ward displayed no ill-feeling, but suggested an ex-
amination of his back and neck. While Herbert was making
the examination, Wiikins came up; he assisted. They found
tiny spots made by the bird shot, but not a drop of blood was
visible. A walk to the little stream, a comforting wash, and
a short rest refreshed Ward, and the party Btartea homeward,
Tom insisting upon carrying his gun and game-bag all the
way. He would talk, but Herbert was too much concerned
to take pari, and Wiikins gave his attention exclusively to
the sufferer, who insisted that — "Oh, it amounts to nothing;
it only smarts a little; I'm all right." On the examination
by the surgeon at the hotel it Was found that the shot, a
Bcore of them, bad penetrated the epidermiB and barely
lodged in the thick fat of Old Tom's neck, besides the few
which were in his back, some not having pierced through his
stout duck jacket and strong hunting shirt. He picked oat
all he could find, rubbed an ointment over the columnar
neok and huge body, wrapped the linen bands about, and
cheered all with the assurance that no harm ha1 been done
beyond the smarting incident. Old Tom declared that Her-
bert had served him "juBt right;" that he had got no more
than he deserved; and it was agreed that after that night no
more should be said about the matter. Old Tom was full of
joke; his neck and back full of shot. His enormous coating
of flesh was as a coat of armor. Bob Sinclair dubbed him the
rhinoseros of Warwick, the Woodland armadillo. During
the following week the happv trio went afield every day in
company, had royal sport, with ample good luck, and before
the departure of the guests much wine was poured at the
feasts enjoyed. Ward was abstemious in the main, but he
was not a total abstainer. Herbert's impulsive shot acted as
firmer and fonder connecting of the friendship between the
two.

On a visit to Warwick in October following I learned from
the tine old Bportsman and great host that Herbert had not
been unminrtful of their bargain. He had sent two barrels of
the finest Carolina rice, and another barrel carefully selected;
also, a large box filled with an assortment of articles which
rejoiced Old Tom and thrilled his son with delight. It was
Herbert's magnificent way of treating those whom he held as
friends. Vet.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Mr. Eaton will probably sell at Monmouth Park during
the races, the head of youngsters from Australia imported by
Mr. J. K. Newton, of S»n Francisco. They were all foaled
in August and September, 188G, and are consequently three-
year-olds onder the American rales. They are briefly aB fol-
lows:

Bay colt by Cheviot, oat of Scraps.

Brown colt by Epigram, out of Helen MoGregor, brother
in blood to LaGrande Wheater, one of the fastest families in
Australia.

Bay colt by Maribyrnong, out of Fair Duchess, closely re-
lated to Fisherman and Craig Miller.

Chestnut colt by Fergus I., out of Romping Girl, the dam
of Masquerade, winner of Metropolitan Stakes at Sydney.

Bay colt Fergus I., out of the French bred mare Alsace.

SUMMARY.

In our columns this week will be found full details of the
athletic and aquatic events that took place on the 4th. Sev-
eral of the amateur athletes have already commenced training
for Admission Day, and a grand revival of out-door sports
may be anticipated in the near future.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

Powers did so well in the "half" at the Scottish Thistle
Club's games that he will be regarded as a Bcratch man here-
after.

Mclntyre showed his old form in the mile, and a
match race between him and "Watson would certainly ter-
minate in a close contest.

Holland of C. A. A. C. should give all his attention to
jumping, as running doeB not seem to be his forte.

Raye Locke has evidently seen his best d^s: his poor
showing in the miles sadly disappointed his friends.

A young Irish high jumper with a record of 5 ft. 11 in.,
will shortly visit California, and if he succeeds in finding
employment here the O. C. will probably add another cham-
pion to their already long list.

Powers is anxious to run Mahoney, the winner of the
amateur short race at the Scotiish Thistle Club's picnic, a
match race of a hundred yards- Powers has a good record
for that distance and the probabilities are that Mahoney will
decline the offer.

Tne initial games of the C. A. A. A. will probably not take
place before ThauTsgiving Day.

The Directors of the G. G. A. C. are on the look out for
new training grounds for their out door amateurs.

The owners of Shell Mound Park should have better dress-
ing rooms attached to their grounds.

The G. G. A. C. may hold a picnic and games in August or
September.

The out-door members of the Pacific Athletic Club will
train at the Bay District treck until such time as the club
can find more suitable grounds closer to the city. It is the
intention of the club to place a team of its best men in the
field on Adrrission Day.

A.K.Ham, of San Jose, will probably take part in the
Admission Day games. With proper training, Mr. Ham
Bbotild win the "hundred," providing Schifferstein does not
compete.

IN THE SURF.

The weather again changed during the past week, and the
surf-bathing establishments were only poorly patronized.

The Palace and Crystal bath houses were well attended
during the week, as the cold and raw atmosphere
caused the regular surf-bathers to seek the shelter of a glass
roof and the comfort of a warm bath.

Some of the best swimmers on the coast are at present
camping at Capiiola. Amongest the number may be men-
tioned the names of Misses Annie Holmes and Bertha Ber-
tosky. Those two young ladies are capable of showing the
back of their heads to almost any of the gentlemen swimmers
at Capitola.

The most prominent swimming club on the Pacific Coast
is tne Terrace Swimming Club connected with the Terrace
Swimming Baths at Alameda. The membership is limited to
twelve. The following is a list of the membees; Harry
Clerke; William Huut, Joe Greeubaum. Ed. Mowry, Al.
Rosenberg, George Corbell, H. Dall, Jack Vollmer George
A. Spiller. Tom Knowlton Dick Ingram and Henry Harmon.
Every member of the club is a good swimmer.

Jack Vollmer is Captain of the club and every Sunday
drills his men in the regular diving, fetching and swimming
movements, much to the enjoyment of the on-lookers.

The members of this club are willing to compete against
twelve swimmers from any of the swimming clubs on the
Coast.

Pmkham, the champion short distance Bwimmer of the
Pacific Coast, is very anxious to make a match with some of
the Eastern cracks tor any amount of money.

HOOK AND LINE.

On Sunday last the fish bit well at Tiburon and Saucileto,
but the water was so rough that many of the boats put ashore
early in the day, their occupants not caring to risk the
chance of getting swamped.

Last Saturday Judge W. H. Sears, of this city, caught over
twenty-five pounds of very fair Bized rock cod at Kershaws
Point.

Bay fishing should be good to-morrow, as the tide will be
favorable and the moon will be nearer its fullness.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The San Francisco Athletic Club held its annual election
of officers on Tuesday evening last. The following were
elected: A. J. Breslin, President; W. Carl, vice-President; P.
Kirchner, Treasurer; W. Barnes, Financial Secretary; F.
Olsen, Recording Secretary; P. Hagen, L Handy, J. Conrey,
Trustees; J. Simmons, Marshall. The next exhibition of the
club will be given on August 14th, and the club's annual pic-
nic and games will be held at Badger's Park, Oakland,
August 18th.

George W. Jordan reports that the championship medals,
which will be given out at the Olympic Club rooms the last
night of the wrestling tournament, will be splendid specimens
of the jeweler's art. The tirst medals will be of heavy gold,
and the second and third of solid silver. These medals will
be the handsomest and most costly that have ever been
given out on the Pacific Coast.

The managers of the G. G. A. C. will Bhortly build a run-
ning track in the gymnasium in order to afford its runners
and walkers a chance to practice during the wet weather.

SCOTTISH THISTLE CLUB'S PICNIC.

The seventh annual games of the Scottish Thistle Club
took place at Shell Mound Park, Berkeley, on Thursday,
July 4th. Fully 6,000 people were present to see the sports.
The day was unusually bright and the weather just right for
out-door games. The records, except in the mile run for
professionals, and the half mile run for amateurs, were be-
low the average. The absence of several well known athletes
may account for this fact. The following is a complete list

THE WHEELMEN AT STOCKTON.

The joint meet of the Oak Leaf and Bay City Wheelman
which took place at Banner Island Park, Stockton, on the 4thf
was well attended. Several records were broken during the
day, despite the exceedingly hot weather, and the guests as-
sembled to witness the races were more than satisfied with
the excellent riding in the several events.

The parade in the morning was a grand exhibition, wheel-
men of all ages and sizes being in line.

In the evening the Pavilion was filled and an enjoyable
entertainment was given in the drill and trick riding. The
programme closed with a grand ball. The Oak Leaf Wheel-
men deserve much credit for the excellent and liberal man-
ner in which they treated the visiting wheelmen. The races
were called at 2 o'clock. The grand stand was crowed with
ladies and their escorts, and a large number of spectators
were seated in carriages.

The firBt race was tne one mile Dovice race, the coast re-
cord being 2 hours and 54 minutes. The starters were S. E,
Mastick of the Oberlin Club, Al.ColI of the Garden City's,
W. R. L:ppttt of the Garden City's unattached. The five
wheelmen raced in a bunch until the last lap, when Doane
spurted to the finish, winning in three minutes. Coll was
second.

The second race was a quarter mile dash, the coast record
being, 37 2-5 seconds. The starters were T. W. Gilmour
and C. W. Hammer of the Bay Citys, and F. E. Southworth
and J. E. Hickinbotham of the Oak Leafs. Hickinbotham
won the race in 41 1-5 seconds, Hammer second, and Gil-
mour third.

The next race was two-mile, L. A. W. State championship,
the coast record being (i minutes. The staiters were F. F.
Southworth, of the Oak Leafs; W. G. DaviB, of the San Fran-
ciscos and R. W. Turner, of the Bay Citys. Turner led off
closely followed Davis, who saved himself on the first mile,
which was made in 3:28. Turner was allowed to lead until
orosBing the line for the last lap, when Davis raced away from
him: winning the race easily in 6:48.

The fourth race was a one mile safety, L. A. W. State
championship, coast record, 3:10 4-5, unless 3:10 was beaten
no medal would be awarded. The starters in this event were
A. L. Wolff of the Oak Leafs, C. B. Lakeman unattached,
C. P. Fonda of the San Franciscos, W. A. Shockley, C. N.
Langton and Sanford Plummer of the Bay Citys. Lakeman
and Fonda fell out of the race early, and Plummer took the
lead to the last lap. when Shockley made a fast spurt, leading
to the finish in 2:59.'- minutes. Plummer a good second.

The next race was a half mile handicap, the coast record
being 1:22. The starters were W. G. Davis, scratch; J. E.
Hickinbothom, 25 yards; C. W. Hammer, 25 yards; T. W.
Gilmour, 50 yards; W. H. T. Durant, 70 yards; Al. Coll, 75
yards; L. C. Black, 75 yards; Coll won the race in 1:20 2-5
breaking the coast record, Hammer second and Durant third.
The three-mile handicap race was next on the programme.
This was an interesting event to the Stocktonians, who
backed E. Southworth against the fast ones from abroad.
The coast record against them was 9:07 2-5, which remains
the record, although an effort was made to lower the time.
The starters were E. Southworth, scratch; L. G. Hodgkins
of the Bay Citys, 75 yards; Doane, 150 yards; Lippet and
Mastick, each 200 yards. Southworth made a good race,
showing great speed and endurance, winning easily in 9:29.
Hodgkins was second and Mastick third.

The two-mile safety handicap was next in order, the coast
record being 6:31 4-5. There were four entries, but WulfT
and Lakeman, who were placed at scratch, protested
against the allowance of 125 yards to Shoctley, and refused
to race. Shockley and Langton started at scratch, and
Shockley won In 6:25, breakiug the record.

The last race was one-mile scratch, the coast record being
2:4S* minutes. Davis, Hammer and Hickinbotham entered.
Davis won in the slow time of 3:11, Hickinbotham being a
good second.

Memoirs of Lexinerton.
A few days ago, we had a call from the nestorof the Amer-
ican Tnrf. Richard Ten Broeck, Esq., who kindly left with
us a memoir of Lexington, written by Col. Bruce of the Live
Stock Journal. The pamphlet is full of reminiscences of the
great horse, and as the Lexington blood is at present flowing
strongly in the veins of many noted trotters as well as run-
ners it will be of interest to all lovers of the horse to read of
the mighty deeds performed by the son of Bostou and Alice
Carneal. Mr. Ten Broeok has our thauks for the interesting
article.

Twelve came to the post for this stake. With this large
field of the most promising and high bred colts in Kentucky,
it may well be imagined that grtat interest was felt, and
wagers were laid in every conceivable way in the betting
circles. Garrett Davis had the call over any colt in the race.
Darley bar] bnt few supporters. His enlightened and spirited
owner, Dr. E Warfield, a gentleman who contributed more
to keep up the sport at Lexington, Ky., than any person of
his day, named him. and the writer often heard him say
when Darley was a colt, and up to this race, that hereafter
breeders would trace back to Warfield's Darley. How true
were his predictions this history will shuw.

A false start was made prior to the first heat, and Darley,
Garrett Davis and Madonna ran about two miles and three-
quarters before tbey could be pulled up. With the consent
of the judges Garrett Davis was then withdrawn from dis-
tress and his haukers* monev saved. The race is easily des-
cribed. The track was nearly knee deep in mud, and rain-
ing hard during the pendency of the race. Not five minutes
were given between the ran away and the start. "When the
drum tapped Darley led off, was never headed, and distanced
all bat tbree. The second heat was a duplicate of the first,
Madonna being distanced in the second heat.

Same meeting, Friday, May 27th. — Citizens' Stakes; for three-year-
olds; seventeen subscribers, at SKO; $5u forfeit; the citizens of Lex-
ington giving the winner a ai'ver plate of the value of 5100. Two-

"We can not give a description of this race. Suffice it to
say that Darley did not run for the first heat, but won the
second and third with great ease. After this race the colt
was bought by Mr. Ten Broeck, and his name changed, as
will be seen by the following letter to the Spirit of the Times:
"Lexington, Ky., May 28, 1853.

Dear Sik:— I send you the papers thiB morning contain-
ing an account of the races and an advertisement of the
stakes for Now Orleans, which please publish with the others.
I have purchased Dr, Warfield's Boston colt, out of Alice
Carneal, for which I claim the name of Lexington — price
$2,500. Lexington is a bay colt, four white feet and a snip,
and was foaled March 17, 1850; he was got by Boston, out of
Alice Carneal, by imp. Sarpedon; grandam Rowena bySump-
ter, g g dam Lidy Grey by Robin Grey, g g g dam Maria by
Melzar, g g g g dam by imp. Highflyer, g g g g g dam by
imp. Fearnanght, g g g g g g dam by /Erial (brother to Part-
ner), g g g g g g g dam by Jack of Diamcnds, gggggggg
Old Diamond (called Duchess), Both Jack of Diamonds and
Old Diamond were Imported by Gen. Spotswood, of Virginia,
and both were by Oullen's Arabian. The colt was bred by
me, as was also his dam, which I now and will ever own.
Signed: E. Warfield.''

"I shall be in New Orleana in a week. Dr. Warfield is
one of the most wealthy and respectable gentleman in Ken-
tucky—seventy-two years of age, and as tine as a four-year-
old. The pedigree of Lexington is certified by his former
owner, a gentleman without reproach.

Yours traly,

R. Ten Broeck."

It is stated that Dr. Warfield asked $5,000 for the colt, but
he was bought for $2,500 cash, with the contingency of
$2,500 addilional if he won the great State Stake at New
Orleans, When informed that it was the intention to enter
him for this stake, and that he should have the $2,500 in
oase he won it, he replied, "take him, I know he will win it,
and I am certain of getting the five thousand dollars."

His first appearance under his new name, was on the
Metairie Course, New Orleans, December 2, 1853, in a match
race on the following terms:

New Orleans, L»„ Friday, I)ecember2, 1B58. — Match for S8,G0tl(?n t00

We clip from the Now Orleans Picayune the following
account of the race:

THE QEEAT MATCH BACE AT NKW ORLEANB.

"The successof Sallie Waters last spring in the sweep-
sUkes over the Metairie Course, two mile heats, in which
Bhe beat Arruw alter a straggle of three heats, was (he main
cai -se of yosierdity'ri race. It may be .said with troth that the
remit of that race engendered a hi tor racing animosity, which
gi r full vent to itself when the "high, contracting parties"
U'Stin Kentucky last spring. The Great State Post SlakeB
; be run here next spring (which will doubtless bring to-
f, k*her the finest field of horses that ever mot anywhere}
uti'iBrindnced each party in the stike to po'-sesa himself of
the beat race-horse that could be found. Tho Alabama
party (already in the stake), from the repeated success of

their favorite, fully believed they had already held posses-
sion of the finest jewel of the crown in Sallie Waters, and
■were comparatively content to rest upon their well-earned
laurels, or if necessity required it, to 'tight their battles o'er
again.'

"Salliestood the championof Alabama. Notso thosewbom
she had vanquished. Intent upon the Bame high position
which Alabama might have properly been believed to oocupy,
those who represented the other States were in search of the
fleetest of the fleet, the strongest of the strong, to deride her
claim to supremacy, and when the purchase of Lexington
waB effected, the Darties met, and yesterday's match was but
the beginning of the end. The controversies which, during
the summer, appeared in the New York Spirit of the Times,
givin" vigor and vitality to that department of that journal,
added fuel to the flame, and the merits of every sire, dam,
colt and filly, from the celebrated ride into Jerusalem down
to the Godolpbin Arabian, and even to the present moment,
have been fairly and unfairly discus?ed. Yesterday the
mountain labored and the mouse appeared.

"The race was made at odds, $5,000 to $3,500, three-mile
heats— the Sallie "Waters party betting the larger amount.
Sallie maintained and even increased her position in the bet-
ting up to the last moment, Lexington's friends either wait-
ing for longer oddB or fearful that the climate might have
effected their favorite. The betting closed at 2 to 1 on Sallie.
Upon stripping the fine form of Sallie, the apparent excel-
lence of her condition, challenged the admiration of all. To
our mind she was a shade too high, and we so remarked to
others. Lexington's appearance, bb he walked past the stand,
was by no means attractive, and he violates all the rules laid
down by horsemen in the purchase of a horse — 'four "white
legs deny him,' is the old maxim — and in addition to that
eye-sore, he has glassy or 'wall' eyes, and is *a blazed young
rip;' but when stripped his form did certainly command
admiration. His style of going iB the poetry of motion, and
the horse that outruns him in a sticky, heavy track, like that
of yesterday, muBt be a sort of steam engine in disguise.

"Sally by no means justified the expectation of her backers,
and to our mind proved conclusively that a muddy track is
no place for her. She labored excessively, and from the tap
of the drum to the close of the race she showed no sign of
speed that could for a moment strengthen the hopes or
wishes of those most largely interested in her fate— for her
fate was their own.

"The day was lovely, the attendance was very numerous,
the coarse was extremelv heavy, tough and inelastic, and the
contest uninteresting.

"The word was given, and Sallie (on the outside) made a
dash to take the track, without success; she kept up her run,
however, and they both lapped to the stand in 2:18 (excellent
time for the state of the track, which was heavy and sticky).
Lexington shook her off in the second mile and passed the
judges' stand two lengths ahead in 2:10, Sallie receiving the
spur. To any practiced eye the race was over, and the third
mile he came home an easy winner in G;23$. He couled off
so finely that $100 to $10 wbb bet before the second heat,
which he won in 6 24J without an effort, distancing her, and
establishing, that despite his 'four white feet and white nose'
he is one of the beBt racers that has shown here for many
years.

"In fact, the Lexington party offered to draw the match
this morning, but the other party refused, expecting a forfeit
I presume, and their confidence was, of course, much
increased by this offer. Lexington's friendB did not like his
condition; about five weeks before he became sick, and ten
days before the matoh was sent from Natchez under the care
of a "darkie" to take slow gallops only, and that his condi-
tion could not be relied upon — that undergoing the process
of acclimation, as he was, they feared be might weaken in
the race and be badly beaten."

Shortly after this match, and indeed before it was run,
considerable feeling had been elicited through the Spirit of
the Times upon BoBton and his get, when Mr. Ten Broeck
issued the following challenges, which elicited no response:

THE BOSTONS AGAINST THE WORLD.

"Ab there has been considerable discussion in regard to
the ability of Boston and his progeny as racers, and as I
happen to own some of them, of wnich I have a favorable
opinion, to test their power 1 make the following proposals:

"I will name two of the get of Boston against any two
horseB not sired by him, to run two-mile heats over the
Metairie course at New Orleans, on the 24th day of March
next, for five or ten thousand dollars a side. The party
accepting to name either sum, to send the forfeit money and
the name of the horse to John G. Cocks, Ksq., President of
the Metairie Jockey Club, which will close the match. The
names of the horses of both parties will then immediately be
published in the daily papers of New Orleans. But one
horse to start for each party, and to be named at the post;
or,

•'I will run the same race over the Newmarket course at
Petersburg, Va., on the 12th day of June next, for ten thous-
and dollars a Bide, with the same conditions, excepting that
it shall be obligatory upon both parties to have the named
horses at New Orleans on the 15th day of April next; and if,
afler they are named, either party fails to produce the horseB
as above stated, the party failing shall be considered as hav-
ing forfeited.

"I will also run four of the got of Boston, in Tost stakes,
two, three aud four-mile heats, over the Metairie course,
New Orleans, for ten or twenty thousand dollars a side in
each race— twn-mile heats, on the 24th day of March next;
three-mile heats on the 16th day of April, and four-mile heatB
on the 24th day of April. Or,

"I will run over Newmarket course, two-mile heats, l*2th
day of June; three-mile heatB 17th day of June, and four-
mile heats 24th day of June, subject to the conditions and
obligations as in the first two propositions. Or,

"I will name the same four horses for five thousand dol-

Directly the bell rang Bonanzi went ont for the lead, and
trotting fast led the Palo Alto stallion round the turn and
passed the quarter a length io front, but Marvin, driving his
horBe hard, was level at the half, and trotting like a double
team they rounded the npper turn into the straight, where

'Roadsters" at the

Racing at Bay District.

Last Saturday afternoon a three horse trot took place
at the Bay District track, Palo Alto's Carlisle winning in
Btraight heats. He is a chestnut stallion foaled in 1886, by
Piedmont dam Idabelle by Kysdyk's Hambletonian, grand-
dam Godfrey Star by;Seeley's American Star. He had a three-
yeS-old record of 2:281, which he to-day lowered to 2:26}.

The officials were: Judges, MessrB. John Hughes, Fred
Vaughan and W. H. Hinchman. Timekeepers, W. S. Wood,
K. T. Carroll and C. Greene.

After warming up they were soon tapped off with Bonanza

ter and beingnrged on went the next half in 1:11, and slowing

With very little delay the tno were dispatched on their

ter a length and a half to the goo3, with Bonanza two lengths
behind Gracie. Bonanza gradually closed np to Gracie, and
at tie s.x furlongs both were a length behind Carhslr. and
with each challenging him down the home stretch the chest-
nut son of Piedmont had all his work cut out to tie his
previous heat, finishing half a length in front of Gracie S.,

Mr. P. J. Shafter, in a communication to the Breeder and
Sportsman of June 29th, entered a protest against a stand-
ard bred horse not being allowed to compete at the State Fair
jn the Roadster class, and Mr. G. W. Hancock, one of the
Directors of that institution, in language more "pointed"
than necessary, replies that the Roadster class was made for
"the man who is breeding up. " Mr. Shafter, be it premised,
had made the point that, "excluding the standard bred
trotter," floor competition aims to restore the "dung-hill
trotter," aud is virtually "turning your back on the intelli-
gent breeding and development of a hundred years."

It seems to the writer that the arguments of both of the
gentlemen are rather faulty. It cannot be denied that by
proper selection aud proper handling and training the very
best of roadsters can be secured from among the "standard"
breed of horses; but is the raising of "roadsters" what
"standard" horses are bred and trained for? Even Mr.
Shafter will admit that such is neither his nor anybody's
else purpose. Neither he nor any other breeder invests in
and trains his standard stallions or mares for "roadster"
purposes exclusively, until he discovers, or sometimes wrongly
thinks he discovers, that they will not be faBt enough for the
track. In this event he goes to work to undo a considerable
portion of the track education; that portion, for instance,
which inculcates "taking hold of the belt" and "to do or
die" to "git thaT," may do very well for a harem scarem sin-
gle driver on a hard road, but is scarcely the kind of "road-
ster" we want before us when driving our wives and children,
and still less when it is a matter of preference and comfort
that our sweethearts should handle the lines. The horse and
his speed in such an event are liable to* interfere in more
ways than one; none of this foolishness (on the part of our
"roadster," of course) is wanted, merely because another
fellow is coming up behind at a little fas'er gait than ours.
We want that fellow in front of us, not just behind, and a
good roadster should not spoil our calculations.

" If asked to select a model roadster, we should search for a
horse of style and carriage, evengaited and eventempered,
with size, power and speed sufficient to trot all day before a
buggy, his driver (and mate), at a four-minute gait, over a
road hard in places and soft in others, with an occasional
up and downhill, with the ability here and there to glide into
a 2:50 to 3 minute gait, or a trifle faster, when hitched to a
lighter weight. We should want him to do this without
Tacking himself or the buggy to pieces, and omitting a trial
of strength and endurance as between his lower jaw and the
driver's hrms when called upon to beat three minutes or
even come down as low as a 40 gait. How many ex track
horses are there that would fill the bill?

I am, of course, not speaking of the "gentleman's road-
ster," an animal with different qualifications altogether from
the "roadster." Speed and great speed is as essential with
the former as it is uncalled for with the latter class; style
and carriage are a secondary consideration with him. Given
the size and speed, there is not one man in a thousand but
for the pleasure of letting others get his dust, would sacrifice
beauty, style and carriage. The gentleman's roadster, in
other words, may be said to be the perfection of training and
gait as attained by the trotter — i. e., a track horse.

No breeder of roadsters could possibly afford to sacrifice
size, style and carriaga either in his stallion or among his
mares; no breeder of "standard trotters" (deny it or not as he
may) but will blind himself to the lack of these and to the
existence of many other defects, provided he can secure
speed or a producer of speed. In short, a breeder of stand-
ard trotters is breeding for speed; hence, he should be forced
to exhibit in the class he claims his horses to belong to, and
they should be judged in a class where their success or failure
to produce speed is a primary qualification.

If the writer's view of the subject be correct, then Mr.
Shatter's point above alluded to is not well token, and his
objection should not be sustained; but even that does not
justify Mr. Hancock's most extraordinary reply and explana-
tion that "the Toadster class is made for the man who is
breeding up."

The writer has already endeavored to show that the road-
ster should properly form and have a class of its own and
need not therefore repeat those reasons. If Mr. Hancock's
view be correct, then the Directors have made an awful
blunder is not stipulating as one of the conditions of entry to
the class named what stock exhibited therein shall be re-
stricted to the non-standard get of standard Bires or dams, as
it is more than plausible to suppose that no man can breed
up by breeding dunghill to dunghill (to use the gentleman's
expression.)

It is true that if the writer proposed to breed roadsters, he
would undoubtedly select a standard bred sire for his stud;
not because of the name, nor of the speed he might transmit,
but because, granted the necessary qualifications for a road-
ster were present in the individual, and had been in his
anoestors, all of whoso breeding was known and recorded for
several generations, the impressiveneas of such a stallion
would undoubtedly be greater than that of a cross bred stal-
lion and much safer to trust than that of one whose breed,
ing was doubtful or unknown, even though the latter two
might in every other respect be equal to tbe standard bred-
The samoargument.it is admitted, would apply to stan-
dard mares being used for a similar reason, should the breeder
so select; but as no breeder of standarJ horses ever did, ever
does, or ever will so select until he finds the speed is not there,
he should not be allowed lo enter in another class, any more
than a lot of light draft horses saould be allowed to show as
general purpose stock merely because the exhibitor finds he
will be beaten by competition in weight and other qualifica-
cations in the draft ring.

There is one qualification, however, iu tho roadster olasB
cond'tions of the State Fair which it seems to tbe writer
shou'd not be there. The condition alluded to callB for
spee I. Speed is certainly no detriment, bat it should not
be essential. A 2:30 horse under this condition would as
shown on a smooth track.be sure to get away with a 2:50

horse: hitch them to buggies in the road and the 2:30 prize
taker might knock himself all to pieceB in the first quarter of
a mile, unless booted from hoof to arm (which roadsters
should not be), whilst the 2:50 horse might travel all day
without ever touching a hair. Now, boots or no shoes,
which one would a reasonable man select for a roadster? and
which of these, boors or no shoes, would travel the longest
road?

If there be one class, other than its own, where they might
be admitted, I should say let standard trotters compete with
the general purpose horses, there being no such breed of
horses in existence. The general purpose class, in fact, should
be done away with and replaced by a sweepstakes class in
which roadsters, standard trotters and carriage horBes might
compete with each other, stipulating that no aged horse
admitted thereto Bhall measure above or below specified
numbers of hands, or weigh more or less than Btated weights
when in fair working condition. Speed should not be con-
sidered at all unless all other qualifications are equal.

of the district fairs is iu favor of it. There will be six fairs

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Yours in regard to
formiDg a Pacific Coast Trotting Association at hand. My
opinion is that it would be a good thing to form an associa-
tion of our own on this side, but I think they should recog-
nize both the National and American Associations. It would
keep all membership fees at home and save long delays in
correspondence. I should think that all trotting associations
on the Pacific Slope and Rocky Mountains would prefer join-
ing this association, for all business would then be transacted
nearer home. Respectfully,

Santa Rosa Track.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The special races at the
Santa Rosa track on the 4th of July brought a good attend-
ance. The lessee, W. B. Sanborn, made attractive prepare,
tions, and a fair proportion of the gentler sex witnessed the
afternoon's sport. First came off the contest between Pat
Carroll's Inkerman and Mark L., entered by Sanborn, mile
heats, two in three, for §200. Inkerman had the call in the
pools, with lively betting. The favorite won in two consecu-
tive heats, in 59 seconds. Then followed the twenty-mile
contest between F. F. Derrick of Vallejo and Ben Scoville of
Santa Rosa, S150 a aide, each allowed four horses, to change
every mile. The contest was as much of dexterity in mount-
as in the speed of the horses, and in this accomplishment
Scoville was more expert. He finished the twenty miles in
55 minutes, with easy effort the last, half of the distance,
leaving his competitor more than a mile behind.

The sport was not strictly racing, but it was entertaining
to the spectators, and this was all the occasion required. It
was the national chief holiday, and there was not the regular
celebration in town. Mr. Sanborn made provision for the
enjoyment of the citizens, and he did it well.

The wind-up was a foot race of 100 yards between the
young Santa Rosa spinster, son of City Marshal Lowrey, and
Newton Cook, of local celebrity, for a handsome gold meial,
offered by Chief Grissam of the Santa Rosa Fire Depart-
ment. Young Lowrey won the race in tbe indifferent time of
103 seconds. Early in the afternoon he was beaten in a 100
yards race, run at Kronke's Park, by Adams, the Petaluma
favorite, whom he had defeated at the Firemen's tournament
here a few weeks ago, by a mis-step just at the finish— time,
103 seconds. The impression prevailed that the race had
been fixed, as nothing but tbe trip of Lowery lost him the
race. The purse was 8-100, and the betting very sharp. Ev-
idently, Lowery lost the race by the accident. It is lik
that another race between tbe parties will be arranged.

for $600, it" should have been $6,000.

A glance at the repoit from the Secretary of the American
Association, shows that the Eureka Jockey Club and Fresno
Soceity are both enforcing the rules.

AI Farrow last week ran a trial at Sacramento in 1:424
with his shoes on. The boy was very light, but the pbr-

L. C. Lee, the pacer, who figured out here for several
seasons and made bis record of 2:15, at the Bay Distriot
track in 1S37. is now being prepared for the Montana Cir-
cnit after a successful season in the stud.

Charley Mirvin says that Carlisle, who last Saturday trot-
ted three heats inside 2:27, would have been sold for $1,500
if he could have got it last year. He was driven without a
check as nearly all the Palo Alto trotters are.

"While it is reported that Budd Doble may have Clingstone
and Guy thiB year Millard Saunders is still busy trainiDg
them at'Cleveland, and gave Guy a mile in 2:17i, and Cling-
stone one in 2:19$. Thursday afternoon of last week.

The Buchanan Bros, of 609 Sacramento street, are manu-
facturers of horse brushes of all descriptions, and make a
specialty of Bponges, chamois skins and any quantity of
small nicknacks needed every day around a stable. Give
them a call.

The Breeder's Gazette, which is more of an authority on
cattle than on horses, says there is curiosity to know for
whom B. C. Holly purchased Yolo Maid. It also says that
Goldleaf will be the Pacitic Coast pacing phenomenon this
season.

One of our prominent Breeders has been for some time ne-
gotiating with his agents in Australia, and it would not
surprise me to see one, or even two, of the crack performers
brought over here before next spring to put to the stud.

Almont Patchen is slowly but surely regaining hiB old
form. Dustin drove him last Saturday, at Oakland, the
best heat he has bal this year, the full mile being readily
done in 2:16J. On the same day his three-year-old J. R.
trotted a Bplendid mile in 2:25£.

W. M. Murrav ran his three.year old Robin Hood against
Huntress and Montrose, at Chicago. The three -year-old
finished a fair third — and than the astute owner was per-
suaded to let his colt go to the Scoggan stable for the trifliog
sum of $5000, Scoggan will regret it before Murray does.

J. B. Haggin seems to be looking after Garrison's welfare.
On Tuesday July 2od for the Realization Stakes, McLaugh-
lin rode Salvator and Garrison was refused permission
to ride againt him, and last Tuesday Isaac Murphy rode the
crack three-year-old and Garrison this time rode Longstreet
who finished second.

Frank H. Burke is a happy man, for he has a four-year-old
filly by Eros that was worked out a mile a few days ago in
2:26 2-5, and in three separate heats the game youngster went
to the quarter pole in 32£ seconds I sincerely trust that
Mr. Burke may be able to place her in the 2:20 clasB before
the year closes.

J. B. McDonald, Marysville, has Bold to D. Latham, for
Senator Hearst, three fillies by Brigadier, 2;21J, dam by
Acrobat {Norfolk — Black Maria), granddam by Rifleman.
The lillies will go to the Glen Echo Ranch at Sunol, and will
ahortly be joined there by other trotting bred mares, and a
stud farm for trotters carried on.

Old Daniel Lambert (31 years old), one of the beat rodb of
Ethan Allen, died last week in Vermont. He had 34 of his
get in the 2:30 lint, (Comee, 1:19.1, having the bPHt record),
and a host of grandaons and grandaughters. During his
service in the Btud he has got over 700 foals. He died from
old age.

It is rumored in Eastern racing oirclea that Senator Hearst
offered Theo. Winters §35,000 for his horses in training. It
must be taken cum grano snlis for Senator Hearst once (last
fall) purchased the outfit, bnt owing to Borne misunderstand-
ing did not take them, and the Senator iB not the kind of a
man to make two bitB at a cherry.

John Mackey has been bragging back East, that on the
Rannho Del Paso, there ifl a trotting sire that can claim the
p.ternity of 28 fonlrt out of 27 mares. That is nothing. I
know a troiting stuliion in the State that bad two mares sent
lo him last year and the pro luc<_- is four foals, two colts and
wo lillies.

All the yearlings bought by Chas. Reed at the Haggin sale
were forD.H. Shults, the well known Gravesend trotting
horse breeder.

A. C. Dielz, of Oakland, has lost by death, a fine filly
called Sabbette by Sable Wilkes, dam Olivette. She was
valued at $2,500. Olivette will be bred back to Sable Wilkes.

Mr. Ariel Lathrop's pacer is travelling very rapidly- He
has onlv had slow work until a few days ago, when Omn
Hickok "drove him a mile in 2 22J, and a half in 1:07. He is
by Guy Wilses, dam Lucy, 2:14.

M. Salisbury has purchase from Mr. Kirkendall, Mary
Eagle (dam of Rancho 2:21) by America Clay, dam by Grey
Eagle. Mary Eagle will be taken to Pleasanton and bred to
Director next spring.

The steamer Pomona brought down from Eureka, last
Monday, four horses under Dan Hennessey's care belonging
to Kelly & Samuels. Susie S, Sleepy Dick, Lida Fergupon
and another also came down on the same boat, the trip be
ing a very pleasant one.

William Mcintosh's Peroberou stallion Oteele died last
Saturday, from lung fever. He was purchased by Mr. Mo-
Intosh for $2,000 after his importation from France by Fair-
banks & Wilson, and has oarried off nearly all the premiums
in Nevada and El Dorado Counties.

About 600 persons went to Madera, Fresno county, on the
Fourth, and on a ploughed up street in an annex of the
town held races. Cyclone won the 600 yds. and repeat, Con-
fidence the mile and Charlie Blaine the scrub race, every one
leaving flat broke, the chuckaluck and gamblers being out
in great force.

Mr. W. H. Wilson, of Abdallah Park, Cynthiana, Ky., hi g
sold to Rundell and Newton, of Toledo, O., the bay two-yeai-
old stallion Pacific Slope, 10124 (full brother to Sunny Slope,
three-year-old record 2:29|) by sultan, 2:24, dam Dido
record 2:23J, by Scotts Hiatoga; second dam Columbia (dam
of Abbotsford 2:19A) by Columbus 95; third dam by Harris
Hamhletonian 2.

The Association whioh has been raoing at Guttenburg has
been organized as the Hudson County Jockey Club, with Mr
E. T. Paxton, President; S. Whitehead, Secretary; J. N.
Crusius, Treasurer. The new mile track now building will
be ready September, let. A Btand 45x250 feet will be built at a
cost of $38,000, the contract having been awarded to John Y.
McKane. Stables for 500 horses will be built.

Matt Storn has returned from Eureka, having had an en-
joyable time. He acted as starter in most of the races there,
and gave great satisfaction. Matt speaks very highly of the
treatment he received at the hands of the officers of the
Jockey CTuh, all of whom tried their utmost to make his
stay pleasant.

The famous old turf performer and now equally celebrated
mare Lucille Golddust, 2;16J, foaled a bay filly by Patron,
2:14 at the ForeBt City Farm two weeks ago. As the mare is
already the dam of Lucille's Baby, 2:20;}, and Sprague Gold-
dust, 2:16J, it would be a very difficult matter to put a price
on the young miss in which her blood and ttiat of Patron is
united.

Mr. W. T. Jones, of Ballarat Australia, {now staying at
Chislehurst), owner of Bravo, by Grand Flaneur out of The
Ophan (6 yrs), has called for his horse to be sent to England.
Bravo is a stamp of animal that wins Queen's Plates in the
Colonies, and if he can be delivered in healthy condition there
is a possibilty of him making a name for himself in the mother
country.

Antaeus, a bay two-year-old son of Sir Modred, won his
second race on June 8th, at Randwiok, Sydney, N. S. W.
He is the only Sir Modred that has started in Australia, and
from a letter I received, he is a grand looking colt and runs
like a regular stayer. The Colonials are dreadfully sore about
losing Sir Mo Jred and say they won't be canght napping
again.

There is much complaint among the jockeys at Monmouth
Park at the crowding done on the turns, especially at the
homestretch. They say it may not amount to a foul, but
Borne riders press the horse running next the raila bo hard
that they have to pull out to prevent accidents. Ferhaps the
judges will take cognizanoe and warn a few of the worst cases,
they might at any rate station an official at the turns to keen
an eye on them and report when necessary.

After El Rio Rey's victory, Isaac Murphy said dog gone
my skin, I don't see how you can beat him. He fell down at
the post and carrying a welter weight, ran clean round them
on the turn and finished strongly. The veteran trainer, Al-
bert Cooper, said the waking up the colt got on the Lome
stretch would do him a power of good, the next time he ran
he would break away instead of loafing. Everv one is won-
derfully impressed with the magnificent son of Noifolk, and
predicts a glorious future for him oa the track.

Mr. Marvin has written to J. H. Wallace the following:

"I have worked Sunol three times fast the past week, and
to-day she appears as sound bb ever she was."

In his Monthly, Mr. Wallace says:

"A youngster that trotB bb fast aB Sunol, is liable to snap
something any day ; but the horse-paperB all over the coun-
try should not have circulated the Btory that Sunol bad
broken down until the report came from a reliable source."

This is rough on rats, or more strictly speaking, ou unre
liable reporters.

lone Bp9nt the Fourth at Agricultural Park, baseball in the
morning and racing in theafternoon am tiding the crowd. The
Five Minute Race waB won by James McMurry who drove
his well known bupgy mare round the track in 4:57. Fred
Morkel in 4;>U).\ being second. The Buggy Horse Race, two
in three, was won by N. K'lvren's Amador Princesp, who
took the second and third heats in 3:31 and 3:32. 0 T. La-
grave's Inne Maid won the Hweepstakes in three straight
heats, 3:25, 3:30, 3:25. The quarter mile and repeat for sad-
dle horses was won by Al Clifton's Bunch Graas iu 24 aud 27
seconds.

The racing at the new track at Westchester, will begin on
Tuesday, August 20th and continue for ten days, to Satur-
day, August 31st. During the ten days the club will give
§86,500 in added money, no less than $1,000 being given in
any purse, stake or handicap. The sensational day of the
meeting will be Saturday, August 24th, on which day the
Great Eolippe Stakes, for two-year-olds, and the New York
Jockey Club Handicap with 85,000 added with $10,000added,
are to be decided, the former having closed with 212 entries,
and the latter with 110. Two of the races at the meeting are
Deculiar in that the horses have to be ridden by maiden jock-
eys.

Dr. M. W. Hicks writes me aa follows: "I am feeling a
little blue from the loss of a two-year-old colt Prompter, dam
by Bucccaneer, the best colt I think I ever bred. This impels
me to say that it is idle to attempt to calculate blood lines
mathematically, and rate the racing or breedine qualities, of
the individual on ihat basin. This fellow wbb (mathemati-
cally) bnt one-sixteenth Bashaw, and one-fourth Blue Bull.
Yet in his high form and tireless endurance, he was all
Bashaw, and in his marvelous Bpeed and steadiness he was
essentially Blue Bull. The multitude of other lines that he
inherited in common with all trotters, were completely
swallowed up and lost in those two dominant Btrains.

There is no lack of horses at Honoluln, and it will be
remembered that several years ago King Kalakaua Bent a
commission over here to buy some trotting stock. Of course
the messengers went to Kentucky, although they could have
dona pretty wbll in California, which is much nearer home.
and finally wound up by purchasing some very creditable
representatives of the Almont family.— Breeders Gazette.

Yes, and about the same time Harry Agnew of Honolulu,
came to this State and shipped over a few California horses.
When the racing season opened he won seven or eight
r^ces, and as a consequence no more Kentucky horses have
been purchased for the Sandwich Islands, as all buyers pro-
cured what is wanted in the Golden State.

We learn with regret that some four breeders will attend
the mountain circnit. If they could do this without ne-
glecting any part of the home circuit, we Bhould wish them
to travel to every meeting on the coast; but, it seems to us,
when the managers of the circnit here are straining every
nerve, offering great inducements, and in bo doing taking
great risk of financial Iofb in order tc build up its turf in-
terests, our breeders scarcely do right in running after
strange gods. A home turf will build up a home market, and
a home market ib invariably the best and most profitable
market.

The District Associations have been increasing their purses
of late years, and this season four of them comprising the
grand circuit, have stricken out the clause which enabled
them heretofore to hold less than five to fill aud deducting a
proportionate amount of the purse. True, they may hold
less than five to 611; but. if they do so, not one cent is de-
ducted from the purse. If, now, our breeders and horsemen
generally propose to go off to other circuits leaving only a
few entries in each olass, does it not stand to reason, the as-
sociations will either have to re-instate that most objection-
able of 'strings, ' reduce their purses, or do both? We com-
mend this suggestion of protecting aud encouraging home in-
terests to our horsemen.

Royalty in Spain no longer takes pleasure in the pomp and
splendour such as used to Burround it even bo recently i ■
the reign of Queen Isabella. Thus it is that the streets ox
Aranjuez and its parks and gardens have do longer the bustle
and life whioh we see portrayed in old engravings and pic-
tures. Except on Sundays, the Madrilenos seldom go down
to trespass on the privacy and seclusion of the Queen. SI e
often drives her son to the Royal stud establishments, and tu
the equally important breeding establishment of Duke Fer-
nun Nunez at La Flamenca. In both places some of the
best racehorses of Great Britian have been reared and
trained— by Englishmen, however, King Alphon^o used to
take great pride in hia stud and racehorses, and under a
"turf pseudonym," he won many races at Madrid and Se-
ville. Indeed, he used to back his own horseB, and not al-
ways for small stakes either.

Porterville, Tulare County, had a two days' meeting last
week, which were highly successful in every way. On
Wednesday, July 3rd, G. W. Pressy's b m Baby won the
half mile and repeat (5 starters) in straight heats, 53 and 54
seconds, distancing two of her competitors in the first heat,
and the other two in the second. The two year-old trot was
won by John Kearney's Nellie Alta in 3:10 and 3:18$. The
last race, trotting one mile, was won by Joe Rood's Judge
Kyle in 2:43, 2:39.V and 2:39i. On the "Fourth the free-for-
all trot was won by H. H Helmau's Emma Temple, who
won the first, fourth and fifth heats. The third was wou by
A. T. Jackson's Ed, who made a dead heat with the winner
in the second; time, 2:34$; 2:31$; 2:30}; 2:30}; 2:34: The
quarter-mile dash for saddle horses was won in a hand
canter by H. Conner's r m Birdie; time, 28 J The quarter
mile and repeat was a very pretty race, J. M. Crawford's
Thad Stevens taking both heats in 24 secouds. The mile
trot for three year olds brought three horses to the wire,
each of whom won a heat, and the race was postponed until
Friday, when N. Anderson's Bay Wilkes won iu three
minutes.

Dr. KlenohV. S of Santa Rosa, found and condemned
three horses owned in the neighborhood of Oleum, Marin Co.,
affiicted with the glanders. The horses were killed and
burned by their Portuguese owner. It behooves every coun-
try in the State to have in their service a competent veteri-
nary surg^ou to prevent the spread of this or similar disas-
trous diseases throughout the valuable equine aud bovine
stock now owned in this State. If a county finds the ex-
pense onerous, let its Board of Supervisors agree to sha e
the cost with that of an adjoining county whose interests are
identical. The fortunate discovery in this instauce,
was due to the 'perversity' (?) of the village bla ksmith, who
refused to let one of them into hia shop until the owner was
obliged to call in competent authority to decide whether or
not it was glandor*. The State owes a vote of thanks to that
blacksmith. We tru^t thia will come under the eye of Geo.
Waterman, and that he will take the trouble to investigate
its truth or falsity. He will then he better posted as to
whether or not it is go id polioy to veto an appropriation and
bills to create a veterinary officer or board or whether the
millions that are invested in fine stock are to be left at the
mercy of a careless Portuguese and a Board of Health that
kuows no more about aoirnal diseases and their treatment
lhau it does about what hobby the man in the moon happens
to ride.

Can any of our readers give ns any information about the
pedigree of Hamlet, or Caseins M. Clay Jr.? Fred Werner,
who owned Battler was the owner, or part owDer, of Hamlet.
Cassins M. Clay Jr. was owned by Col. Dickey. We have
written to several persons who should know the pedigree of
these horses, but have failed to receive any answer.

taken up his cards, C. takes up his, claiming the right so to
do. To this B. lakeB exception, claiming that C. has no
right to look at his hand until he (B) has either stood or
begged. Who is right?

Answer. — B. is right.

K. L. Douglass, Corning.

A B and C trot mile heats 3 in 5, first and second money.
A wins firBt heat, B wins second, and distanced A. B wine
third and distanced O in the fourth heat. What horse is
entitled to second money?

Answer. — Rule 36 of" the National Trotting Association
says: Section 1. — A horse must win a majority of the heats
which are required by the conditions of the race to be enti-
tled to the purse or stakes; bat if a horse shall have distanced
all competitors in one heat the race will then he concluded,
and such horBe shall receive the entire purse and stakes con-
tended for.

Sec. 3. — The foregoing provisions shall always apply in
such cases, unless otherwise stated in the published condi-
tions of the race.

As both horses were distanced, although in different heats,
B will receive both monies unless it was specified in the con-
ditions of the race that if a horse distance the field he shall
receive first money only.

Subscriber, and twenty others.

In a half-mile heat race at Eureka, at the end of the third
heat the horses stand as follows:

Sleepy Dick 1 3 3

SusieS 2 0 1

Lida Ferguson .3 0 2

Has Sleeepy Dick the right to start in the fourth heat?

Answer — The rule that covers the ground reads as follows:

"In a race of heats, best two in three, a horse that actu-
ally -wins two heats, or distances the field, wins the race. A
horse running in two consecutive hea' s, without winning or
running a dead hear, can not again start in the race. A
dead heat is a heat against every hor?e in the race except
those making it, and in their favor to the extent only of
allowing them to start in the next two heats, unless the
race is decided, or they are distanced the next two ensuing
heats. When a race is won by two heats, the preference of
the horses is determined by the place they get in the second.
If more than two heats are run, the horses starting for the
deciding heat shall alone be placed."

Sporte in Daily Papers.

How Radii", and Other Sporting Events are Written

Up.

Twenty years ago every great daily newspaper in America
had its special staff of sporting writers who were men having
an intimate knowledge of the branches of sport abont which
they wrote.

TheBe gentlemen were known all over the country as
authorities on their special lines, and the papers with which
they were connected reaped the benefit of a large patronage
from people interested in sporting events, and who looked to
these gentlemen for information, and who knew that they
could rely implicitly on the accuracy of all that came from
their pens.

The turf reporter knew all about the records of famous
hordes, the pedigrees of tne winners of nearly every import-
ant event, and they were forced to keep a systematized
record of all the weights, winners, jockeys and owners to
enable them to answer the hundreds of questions that were
constantly being asked on these subjects.

The yachting editor knew all about time allowances, sail
area, hull displacement, lines, and all the other technical
points of yachts and yacht racing.

The coursing and held editor had to know how dogs were
trained, entered and slipped, how they were judged, how
field trials were held; he had to keep the run of pedigrees, be
a good judge of a dog, and if he could give a subscriber a
receipt for any dog disease, so much the better. He had to
be a thorough sporttman because he was writing for sports-
men who would detect instantly if he were a pretender.

But during the past twenty years a great change haB been
made in the sporting departments of the daily press. The
daily newspapers no longer care to write for the edification
of sportsmen, but bend all their energies to preparing sensa-
tional accounts of such events as will interest the large class
of people who do not understand such things, and take no
interest in any sporting event that falls short of the sensa-
tional.

The reader having no technical knowledge, accuracy of
statement is not demanded from the writer; no respect is
paid to the opinions of the sportsman's fraternity. The
daily press reports of sporting events teem with the most
ludicrous errors, but their managers save the expense of
employing competent specialists, and so long as the police-
reporter can string together a few words about a horse race
or a yachting regatta, his work is accepted.

If yachtsmen feel disgusted with the silly nonsense, or if
horsemen are aunoyed at the absurdities printed about their
stables, they are met with the answer, "We are running a
paper for the general public and not to please any special
class."

Having been somewhat identified with sportng affairs for
a good many years, and being in the newspaper business, it
has been my fortune to meet a great many ot those ill-placed
reporters, and to have been amnsed with the production of
their pens. In justice to them I must say I never knew an
instance where the work for whioh they were not competent
was undertaken, without a protest from them, and I have
always found that they toiled hard to make correct reports,
and were grateful for any assistance offered them.

But you cannot teach a man the whole art of a sport in a
few minutes cnat. any more than you can make a man an
expert shot by allowing him to shoot a rifle once.

My first acquaintance with the uninformed reporter at a
sporting event was on the occasion of the great Occident race
at Sacramento. He was from the Chronicle of this city and
he asked me if I would tell him what "best three in five to
harness," which he found printed on the programme, meant.
The Chronicle at that time had a competent turf writer in its
employ, and I a -iked in some surprise why the work of report-
ing the race had been confided to one who did not know
anything about the sport. The reply was that Mr. De Young
did not want a technical report, but something that every one
would read. I gave the gentleman the asked for information
and all through the race he kept me busy explaining the
various points.

"With the exception of classing Occident as a "horse*' in-
stead of a gelding, and saying that the race was "run" in-
stead of trotted, he did not make many glaring errors, for he
was a smart fellow and bad sense enough to confine himself
to the picturesque and leave details alone.

It was also a Chronicle man that I had the pleasure of
meeting at a cricket match played here between the "All Eng-
land Eleven" that was on its way to Australia, and a scratch
team of the Occident and other clubs. He said that the
city editor had insisted on his reporting the match despite
bis protest that he knew nothing about the game. His re-
port next day was the most picturesque account of the game
that I ever had the pleasure of reading. He spoke off Cover-
point" as "the man who covered the point," the "backs'op"
was called "the catcher," and in recording a "hit to-leg" he
gravely Announced to the readers of the paper that th« ball
glanced from the batsman's leg and for that reason was called
a "leg hit." He declared that the bowler pitched the ball
and insisted that "mid wicket on" was the shortstop.

Year6ago the Call employed Charley Yale to write about
yachting affairs and kept up a splendid column in that line.
But the able editor did not see the sense in having so much
technical t-tuff and the day the Con O'Connor won her first
race the intelligent Call man on the umpires boat was a gen-
tleman who did not know a jib stay from a topsail yard
schooner, nor could he tell the difference between a spinaker
and a balloon jib. Coming home the captain of the O'Con-
nor jibed her and next day the Call informed its readers
that the "^ibes" of his opponents caused the captain to alter
his course.

One of the funniest things I ever saw in the way of a
ridiculous error in a so-called sporting column appeared in
this city about four weeks ago, when a leading newspaper
gravely informed its readers that a horse was by Electioneer
out of Crown Point, and it also started two mares Bnd a geld-
iup in a stallion stake.

Last February, in its account of a coursing match at New-
ark, the Examiner had the following: —

The pack of greyhounds assembled yesterday for the coursing match
at Newark, was one of the finest evrr snen in tl'iii State.

The esteemed Examiner reporter did not know that gray-
hounds do not course in packs; and there were several other
things he did not know, or he would not have written that
"Fly" killed the bars, and therefore won the match. But to

him, the lead from slips, turn, wrench, go byp, trip, kill, kill
of merit, and other points that count in a coursing matoh are
an unknown language.

In every daily newspaper published in this city I have
seen horses described as running in trotting races, and only
three weeks ago I read that "the race was 'run' in the pres-
ence of but few spectators" when it was really trotted.

When football under the Rugbv rules was introduced here
by the formation of a couple of clubs here and a club at the
State University, the daily press afforded a great deal of
amusement to those versed in the technicalities of the game.
"Full backs," "three-quarter backs," and "half backs" were
mixed up in inextricable confusion, while in their struggles
to explain the meanings of such terms as "on" side,*'
"touch," "touch down" and "scrimmage," the dailv press
experts fairly outdid all previous records for blundering.

Even in prize tights, which are Dot tonched bv reputable
sporting journals, and of which the dailv papers make a
special feature, incompetent men are employed. At th«
Choynski-Corbett fight a reporter undertook to describe all
the blows and stops in a hot rally that was fought so fast
that had he ten pairs of eves and hands, instead of a single
pair, he could not have got all the movements down on
paper, and all he succeeded in doing was to show every
reader who possessed the slighest knowledge of boxing that
the writer did not know anything about the subject.

Every sportsman knows the meaning of the shooting ex-
pression "wiped his eye." It was used by a daily paper in
San Francisco some time ago as though it meant that one
shooter had actually applied his handkerchief to the eye of
another to remove some foreign substance therefrom.

Horses at Rest.

There are some carious facts, says an exchange, about
the disposition of horses to lie down. To a hard-working
horse repose is almost as great a necessity as good food, but
tired as he may be he is often shy about lying down even
when a nice clean bed of straw is provided for him. The
writer once rode a mare seventy miles in a single day. The
stable in which she was put for the night was as comfortable
in every way as it could be made, yet she stood the whole
night through. She ate her oats and hay and then went to
sleep, leaning forward witli her breast against the manger.
There are horses that have never been seen to lie down, and
if they have ever done so it was only for a short time, and
at an hour when they were hot likely to be seen. No marks
have ever been discovered upon iheir coats which would in-
dicate that they had been lying down. A horse is recalled
now that occupied for fifteen years, from the time he was two
years old, the first stall in grandfather's stable. Up to the
honrhedied no one had ever seen him lying, down aDd several
timeB after wearisome drives of about eight or ten hours, a
watch was placed on him to see if during the night he would
lie down; but be was never caught in that position, and he
could not be tempted to recline by the sweetest and cleanest
of bedding. He died literally upon his feet. He was taken
sick, and in giving him a drench from a loug-necked bottle,
with his head pulled up to a beam, he suddenly fell back and
expired.

Unless a horse lies down regularly his rest cannot be com-
plete, and his joints and siDews stiffen; and while it is true
that horses that sleep in a standing position continue to work
for many years, it is equally true that they would continue to
work for many years longer, and perform their work much
better, if they rested naturally. Young horses from a country
stable may refuse to lay down when put into a stable in town,
and the habit may be confirmed unless inducements are
offered. Horses can he taught to lie down, and they can
also be taught to be as neat and cleanly in their habile si
individuals.

It is a very rare thing for horses afflicted with a disease
that superinduces fever to lie dowo. They will stand up until
nature becomes completely exhausted, and their limbs refuse
to sustain them. They have an instinct which teaches them
that if they lie down it may be difficult for them to get upon
their feet again. A sick horse, because of his evident knowl-
edge of his own condition and his inability to commnnicate
the symptoms and the nature of it, commends himself to
human sympathy more than any other animal. Horses have
a horror of death, and especially dread death in their own
kind. A horse may be sick in company with a stableful of
horses, and the others will not notice him at all, but the
moment he dies there is consternation throughout the entire
stable. A horse may be absolutely fearless of every inanimate
thing that comes to his notice, bat will be frightened beyond
measure at the sight of one of his own kind lying dead by
the roadside.

The Flesh-Color of Fishes.

The fact is well recognized Irom New Brunswick to Duluth
that of the fish of the namaycush species some are white-
tieshed and some have flesh of a salmon color, and that both
varieties (if such they be) live side by side in the same wa-
ters, and, in the same waters, are rarely, if ever distinguish-
able from each other, until killed and cut open, writes Geo.
H. Christy of Pittsburgh, Pa.

So far as my reading goes, our scientists have made no ef-
fort to explain or account for this singular fact. Professor
Agassiz, when writing of Sahno salar, ascribed the peculiar
tiut of color of its flesh to "the absorption of the pigments
of crabs and shrimps eaten by the tish" during their life in
the sea. He also comments on the variations found to exist
in the flesh-tints of the Balmon trout (Sahno sebapo), and at-
tributes it to the quality of (:ammaridae which they have de-
voured. But I am not aware that Professor Agassiz makes
any effort to account for the existence of white-meated and
red-meated namaycush side by side in the same waters.
Professor Goode merely mentions the fact that the salmon
tint is sometimes found in fish of inland waters, bat he does
not attempt to account for its presence, and still less does he
attempt to explain why in fish of the same variety, and in
the same waters, the flesh is in some cases of one color, and
in others of another. If our trained naturalists have any
way of accounting for this peculiarity as developed under
these conditioDB, I would be glad to know what it is.

Mr. Cheney— and among anglers there is no better author-
ity than he— is the only angler I have come across who at-
tempts to account for this well-known but singular fact.

In an article contributed by him to the Angler in April,
1S86, when speaking of the presence of both white-meated
and red-meated lake trout in the chain lakes, he says: "It
has been settled beyond doubt that the red tinge is caused by
food." Again, in an article published not long ago in Forest
and Stream, he says:

"Occasionally there is caught in Lake George a trout
shorter and deeper than his fellows of equal weight, with
real salmon-colored flesh, and with creamy curds between
his flesh flakeB. Such a tish has devoted his whole mind to
his diet, and good living has changed his appearance; simply
this aud nothing more."

Now, I am not an ichthyologist, and perhaps no "great
shakes" of a fisherman, but I humbly beg leave to dissent
from the proposition that of two fish, otherwise identically
alike, living together in the same waters, on food equally ac-
cessible to both, both wild by nature, and neither of them
artificially influenced or dealt with— that the one, by "de-
voting his whole mind to his diet" and selecting his food,
will cause his own flesh to be of a red-tinted or salmon color,
and the other, by making some other food seleotion, or no
selection at all, will cause his own flesh to be of a clear white
color.

And this is exactly what I understand Mr. Cheney to
mean. Much in the same line is the statement of Izaak
Walton: "There is also a river Id Arabia of which all the
sheep that drink thereof have their wool turned into a Ver-
million color." One statement looks to be about as reason-
ably true as the other.

I do not deny that the exterior coloring of fish is changed
by exterior surroundings. For the present I will not deny
that a fish normally white-meated may be removed to waters
where, in consequence of a necessary change of food, its flesh
may take on a tint which, after some generations, may
eventually become a hereditary trait. I do not deny that the
white meat of every young fish may, with advancing years,
turn into meat more or less highly tinted. I am perfectly
aware tbat in the Salmo sebago the depth or intensity of the
tint varies at different times or under different conditions.
But that two fish of like descent, through a supposed com-
mon line of anceBtry of unknown antiquity, of the same age,
living together in the same waters their ancestors have al-
ways lived in, and on food equally accessible to both and
equally well adapted (so far as known) to the appetite and
sustenance of both — that two such tish, on beiug killed,
should be found to have flesh of so distinctively different
colors, is a fact which, as it seeniB to me, has not yet been
accounted for. To my apprehension it would be quite as
easy for a "lion to change its skin or a leopord its spots" as
for a fish to change the color of its own flesh by a voluntary
selection of its own food. Animals wild by nature, and not
subject to any of the influences of domestication, nor to any
artiticial restraint, nor artificially fed, do not select their food.
They take it as they can get it, and, if hungry, let none go
by. Fishes are wild animals. They prey on each other,
just as the wild beasts of the forest do. They eat when they
are hungry — provided they can find anything to eat — and,
being hungry, they will eat anything they can get hold of
which they like. And out of the whole range of animal ex-
istence with which man haB to do — clams and oysters ex-
cepted— we would not he far out of the way iu saying that
fishes have the least mental power capable of being used in
the selection, choice and rejection of food. And on this
point Mr. Wells, one of our beet authorities, in his "Ameri-
can Salmon Fisbermun," page 90, says:

"The mental range of a fish is of the most limited de-
scription, If more tban four impulses— physical comfort,
self-preservation, hunger uud the desire to reproduce— gov-
ern their conduct I have yet to hear it suggested. Under
precisely similar circumstances and conditions, odc may stay
at home and another go a-lishing. But when we descend the
Hcale of the animal kingdom to the low nervous development
and narrow life of a fish, mental acton of so high an order,
and so individual as caprice, seemB to me out of tbe question.
Under precisely similar circumstances and conditions, I be-
lieve every fish of a (jiven kind will act in precisely the same
way."

'the italics are my own. The exceedingly low mentality of
a tish must, as it seems to me, exclude all idea of voluntary
food-Helectiou. Bat if, as Mr. Cnouey Hays, "it has been set-
tled beyond doubt," will not he "r aurae uue else give us the
facts by which it haa been settled? If they have been pub-
lished, I bave unfortunately [ailed to Hee them. The qai b-
tion to be "settled beyond doubt" is simply thin: Out of a
school of suy a thousand mature Sulveliuus namayoash will
a certain proportion, say twenty per cent, voluntarily rejeot
and refuse to purtake of certain kiuds of food accessible to ail
and which the other eighty per cont. eat of freely? Is it true
that a cortnin proportion, say twenty per cent., will partake
only of certain choice or dainty kinds of food, and that tbey
will go hungry, aH St. Paul once promised in do, rather than
defile themselves with "anything common or u in-lean !"

And, while on the food quest ion. I have been amused at
noticing the various kinds of food which, beiug selected, ate
supposed to make red or tinted flesh. Agascus, whone au-
thority cannot be questioned, attributed the red color of tbe
fleBh of Salmo Balar (which, as a rule, feed but little, if at all,

in fresh water) to "the pigments of crabs and shrimps eaten
by the fish" during their life in tbe sea. In this he was fol-
lowed by Goode, but, so far aB I know, ProfeBsor Goode
makes no effort to account for the red flesh of the Salmo
salar oi Salmo sebago, when living only in fresh water. Ap-
parently he excludes the idea that food has anything to do
with it, for he says repeatedly that "when salmon livein the
lakes they prey upon minnows and other small fishes" — and
these latter are certainly not overcharged with the "pig-
ments" referred to. In fact, bo far aB they have any effect at
all, they are commonlv supposed to produce white meat in
the eaters thereof. Next, Mr. Cheney, in his article of
April, 1886, first tells ub that the food which, in fresh waters,
does tbe work is "the fresh-water shrimp and perhaps the
caddis." Further along, in the same article, he ascribes the
same effect to "insect and larvre food."

Hence, to account for tbe red meat, we have:

1. Marine "crabs and shrimps."— [Agassiz.

2. "Minnows and other small fishes."— [Goode.

3. "Fresh-water shrimp and perhaps caddis."- [Cheney.

4. "Insect and larvae food." — [Cheney.

Now, if all theBe foods will produce in the eaters thereof
the tiuted flesh referred to, why are not all the fish of the
namajcush species red-meated? Why the necessity of in-
voking selection at all? And, lastly, why is it that, of two
fish otherwise poBBessing no characteristic differences, one is
white-meated and the other red-meated? Willsomebody who
knows please tell ns? And, if ncbody knows, will somebody
who has facilities for Buoh investigations please ascertain the
reason, if he can, aud let us know the result?

Hints for Trout Fishing.

As a rule the angler more enjoys the expert taking of game
fish than the abundance of his catch. Still the feast upon
the fish ifl a mateiial quantity in the sport. To take and kill
to wastefulness is no better than to destroy by explosives or
by poisons. The true angler, lover of the sport and with
epicurean appreciation of the game, while prideful of the
contents of his creel, is mindful of the fair and equal righte
which pertain to the domain of angliDg— which has its limits
and significance from generalized fishing. The angler fishes
for the sport there is in it, in manifestation of his skill, which
is the prideful part; and for the substantial luxury which the
dished trophies of his day's delight afford himself and friends.
The fisher does his work with the market and the marketing.
The difference is akin to tbat between the deer hunter who
loves the hunt and sparingly delights in it, and the skin
hunter who kills to make a slaughter, solely with purpose to
replenish his purse. These distinctions apply to every order
of admirable sport, fin, fur and feather.

The study of the angler has the spur of ambition to excel-
lence. It is an achievement to land the gamy, wary, resist-
ing, fighting shiner, in pool and in current, through ripples
and in rapids, despite its struggles, its dartB and doubling,
its desperate^ shoots and fiantic leaps. The angling is more
exciting, the capture is more animating, the feast is the ulti-
mation of the gratification; yet the pioud recollection of the
occasion and the prowess dwell and seem in the memory as
warr ors recount deeds of battle, and as the gueBts of Horace
recalled the charms and feasts at the Sabine farm, with
Maceasnas to adorn the flow of soul and grace the banquet-
ing. Mere fishing is a trade. The vicious have perverted it
into something tainted with fraud, with the disposition to
gain through criminality — as in the use of poisons and of
explosives. The fishermen who regularly toil in the legiti-
mate pursuit, with lines and bait, nets and poles, seiDes and
wiers, are pvactioally honest fishermen, and although they
adopt every device which the cunning and art of man can
invent, and catch all the tish of every food variety they can,
still they do not wantouly take to willfully destroy, merely
to boast the opportnity, as some do who profess to be amateur
fishers, but are no better than wolves in the sheep fold which
kill in the lust of killing.

The angler is distinguished from others who fish, as the
sportsman of the woods is from the skin-hunter who slaugh-
ters indiscriminately and to excess; as the game pursuer of
hill and field and fen is from the pot hunter who takes every
advantage to get the bird, and the professional who shoots to
supply the market. Tne angler is fond of the sport and with
honest pride regards the quality of his catch and not the
quantity. He adopts and pursues only approved and legiti-
mate methods. As a matter of course, in angling, the tackle
is an important matter, but still more important is the bait —
in general sense. Technically, the fly is not classed as bait.
Any bait is legitimate. That which is most alluring and best
serves the purpose is the bait to be chosen, whether fly,
worm, or insect— anything, in short. Angling is every
season proving more and more tentative. Ab with the arts
and sciences it has its sphere of progress, with room all the
time to that improvement which culminates iu perfection, af-
ter which the complete example should be adopted instead of
the experimenting for the impossible, beyond which cannot
result in anything except measurable success or regretful
failure.

Trout-fishing most absorbs the expert angler's study and
attention. In the States eastward, especially along the
North Atlantic coast, trout fishing has its thousands of en-
thusiastic devotees every year. Stream and lakes in which
trout are found are searched for as prospectors search for the
precious metals, and to the favorite chosen resorts thous-
ands go every season from the populous cities and the towns
to indulge in the exhilarating sport. The inquiry ocurs —
What is best for bait? Authorities differ. Localities aud
habitats are dissimilar, aud tbe trout of the stream has its
peculiarities not found in the trout of the lake. Experience
and discernment supply the answer. For many years skilled
anglers have generally determined in favor of the fly; some
will try no other allurement for the speckled shining beau-
ties. The expert angler may be called au artist iu the use of
the fly in fishing for trout. Some never accomplish this
fine art in the delightful sport. Possibly the best skilled
may overrate the excellence of the fly. In some cases there
may be a be tier method. Live and learn, is good precopt.
In the New York Times of recent dato is a lesson to good ef-
fect, uud as tbis is the season of angling for trout, aud thp
lesson is applicable to California the siime as to the States of
the Atlantic, enough of it is copied to point the argument and
present the method. Hero it is:

A New-Yorker who is au expert fly fisherman and au an-
gler of no little note, awoke to a rude realization while fish-
ing the streams of Sussex County, N. J , iu company with a
young farmer. It was early in the season. So the country-
man, also an export fly fisherman, used worms. The New-
Yorker, however, persisted in whipping the stream that they
were fishing with bis haokles, professors, and abbeys, in
spite of his skill, at tbe end of an hour not oven a rise had
gladdened bis eyoB, while tbe farmer had seven big iish
glistening on the grnsa in his creel. Finally the New-Yorker
removed, with a sigh, hie Hies and put in their places a
iproat book and a big worm. At tbe end of the next hour,

however, he had caught only two, while his companion had
secured a dozen. An investigation on the part of the farmer
revealed that the New-Yorker had run a portion of his gut
as well as the whole hook through the worm so that it
looked like a piece of twig and worked this dead bait on the
surface of the water like a fly. Then and there the city
fisherman admitted his hypocrisy and learned of the real an-
gler the rudiments of successful bait fishing.

Trout may be caught with almost any kind of worm, al-
though the common garden or angle worm or grub are the
most irresistible. Here are two ways of pnttiDg them on a
hook, (sproat preferred,) and in both the worm remains alive:
The old way is entering the hook a little above the middle and
imbedding tbe point and barb in the head of tbe worm so
that the tail flows ont free and clear in the water. The other
and most successfnl way is to insert the point and barb of
tbe hook securely in the middle of the worm, thus allowing
both the head and tail to wiggle clear in the water. It is by
no means necessary, as the unsophisticated suppose, to cover
with the worm the entire hook. With the hook properly
baited and the necessity of keeeping it near the bottom of the
stream borne in mind one is ready to fish unless the stream
is very swift, and then a small lead must be put on about a
foot from the hook. A small split buckshot will do, or two
or three No. 6 shot answer admirably. Under no circum-
stances should the trout be struck until he has swallowed the
loose end of the worm, which fact will be shown by the sud-
den running away of the line. Strike before, and ten
chances to one the fish escapes unscathed with a choice bit
of the worm in his mouth. After a little experience one can
with almost certainty determine the right moment to strike.

Similar in many respects to worn fishing is that with live
bait or minnow. These can be usually found in the small
springs and feeders of a trout brook, and.are to be caught with
any kind of net whose meshes are small. When used as live
bait they must be hooked through the lips so that they can
swim about unimpeded. In dead fishing the hook and a
portion of the eutis passed through the mouth aud out by
way of the gills, so that the body of the hook can be tied with
thin silk or white thread to the minnow's tail. The live bait
dropped gently into a pool where lurk some monarch of the
stream, or the dead bait kept moving gently in the current as
is alive, is not to be resisted by the ordinary sagacious fish.
No time must be allowed the trout as in worm fishing, but
the firm, quick moment of the angler's wrist must hook the
fish the moment his mouth closes on bait or he escapes.

The nearest approached to fly fishing is, in the bait line,
angling with grasshoppers or insects. Of grasshoppers, the
big yellow-belled ones that can be found in aoy meadow are
the best, and any kind of insect will do, though some anglers
consider a bumble bee, a barn fly, or cricket the most taking.
This kind of bait must be put on so as to look as natural as
possible.

CANOEING.

Oakland Canoe Club.

Of all the sportB tbat are indulged in for recreation or
pleasure, none is more healthful or excitiDg than yachting,
aud though the element of danger is more imminent than in
most forms of sport, it but adds zest to the pleasure and
keeps one ever alert and interest awake— when it can be said
of a man that he is a good yachtman and able to handle a sail
in a blow, you may be sure that he has pluck, energy and
good executive ability. Yachting, like all other sports, has
its divisions, and each build of boat has its special devotees,
some for the cat boat, some for the big "single stiokers,"such
as have competed for international honors over the American
Cup, some for the schooner rig and others for each of the
many rigs and models, but undoubtedly that branoh of the
sport which demands greatest nerve and the most skillful
skipper is modern canoeing; the word modern is used for fear
some one might confound it with that historic means of
water locomotion of the Indian, it is as different from tbat as
the modern reapeating rifle is from the old flint-lock musket.
An Indian would be as much out of place in a canoe of to-
day as an ordinary sailor would be in a racing shell. The un-
initiated would naturally think that a paddle was a necessary
adjunct and the actual motive power, assisted by brawny
muscle, it is far otherwise, for they have so many different
sails, rigs and masts that only an expert could properly de-
scribe them.

The Oakland Canoe Club, whose boat bouse is on the
Estuary, near the railroad bridge, is one of the most complete
and successful organizations of the kind in the country. The
active membership is at present thirty, among which are a
number of young men prominent iu financial aud business
circles, in both Oakland and San Francisco, who, by occa-
sional devotion to this healthful spoit keep their bodies
strong and their heads clear.

The officers for the present year are: Commander, W. W,
Blow, who might be called the pioneer oi canoeing on the
coast, and who still is its most ardent champion and skillful
devotee; vice-Commodore, A. D. Harrison; Secretary, Henry
M. Landsberger and Treasurer, Yv\ G. Morrow.

Members who bave visit other similar clubs in the East
state that the local boat and club rooms are the most complete
in the country in their management and appointments.
The house at present can accommodate over thirty canoes
many of which have been constructed with as much care as
to ihe material used and the lines of model as was exercised
over the Volunteer. Caneoing is essentially a rich man's
sport, for each member owns his own boat, and some mem-
bers own several, and the cost of many of them will run
up into the hundreds of dollars each. Among the best aud
fastest of the cauoes are Commodore Blow's Mystic, vice-
Commodore Harrison's Frolic, Mr. Olson's Dart and Bouita
Mr. Darneal's Conchita, Mr. Morrow's Whisper and Mr.
Mathews Ontario ribbed canoe Mab. There is but one other
cauoe olub on the coaBt that being at Portland, OregoD. But
although many efforts have been made, and all kinds of
iuducements offored to get up a series of races between the
two olubs, the Portland olub has not had enough confidence
to accept a challenge. A badge, presented by a member is

as the champion aud the possessor of the badge for the fol-
lowing three mouths. At present Mr. Harrison aud his Fro-
lic are the envy of the balance of the club- Commodore
Blow is making some ohanges in the rig of the Mystic and
having a new center-board built and hopes at the next regatta,
which will take place Sunday. July 21st, to wrest the cham-
pionship frotu the Frolic. The social life of tbe club is very
pleasent, their rooms being fitted up with taste and ladies

tached aud iu connection with a well filled larder, mauy a
delightful lunch is enjoyed.

Quite frequently excursions are made to points in the bay

THEJKTN,

California Wine Shooting Club.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The July meeting of
the club held on Sunday last at San Brnno was a slimly
attended one, reasons being that so mauy members are away
on their summer vacations, bnt if the attendance was not
large the sport was fine, and was keenly enjoyed by all those
present. Doctor Knowles was at his best, and killed eleven
of a hard string, with perfect judgment, using his seoond
barrel but little. The second medal fell to the Secretary.
Mr. F. B. Norton took third medal, losing a hard hit bird in
the tenth round.

The feature of the day was Mr. Osborn's score of sis.
Osborn is looked upon as one of the best and most reliable
shots of the club, but either because the gun whic i he used
shot too open a pattern or for some other reason, he failed to
dowD his birds, although cutting them all. Mr. Robert
Liddle was not in the form shown in Jane. He waited too
long on his birds. The Bcores were:

At 12 birds, HurliDeham. For clab medals. First, Doctor S. E.
Knowles. Second, Mr. Will De Taull. Third, Mr. F. B. Norton.

The Inter-Club Tournament.

Readers will remember that some weeks ago in this column
it was suggested that a shooting match between teams from
the various clubs of the coast might be arranged. Since that
time the matter has been taken in hand by Major S. I. Kel-
logg and other active trap shots, and the match is as good as
settled, to be shot off at San Jose io October at the meeting
of the State Sportsman's Association. A letter recently writ-
ten by Major Kellogg to Mr. C. E. Mack, of Sacramento,
gives information of general interest, aDd we publish it by
permission. Major Kellogg writes: —

San Francisco, July 1st, 18S9.

C. E. Mack, Jr.— Bear. Sir, Your favor of the 30th nit.
is at hand. Day by day the prospects for the big live-bird
Bhoot brighten. Teams Irom so far off as San Diego aDd
Oregon desire to send in men and guns. This can be attribut-
ed to the facts that it is to be a shoot "for blood, " with large
entrance fees, few men to the team, and live birds. We can
count positively nn teams from Oregon, Sacramento, San
Diego, Stockton, Vacaville. San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco
(two), and possibly one from Nevada and two each from Sac-
ramento and Oakland. This would make from eight to
twelve teams of five men each — say ten teams or fifty men at
twenty birds, making 1,000 birds and SI. 000 to be divided.

It might be advisable to increase the entrance fee to $25
per man, and decrease the teams to four each, or possibly tn
six or eight men. Our trophy is under way. and promises tO
be a fine affair and worth winning. I have outlined our
intentions to Mr. Briggs, of the Breeder and Sportsman,
who promises to keep trap shooters posted as to this shoot.

By the way, what have we left undone? You say in your
letter: "I think, however, the conditions will cause some
displeasure which may wear off," eto. How would you pop-
ularize the conditions? Let us have your ideas; we want
them, and will seriouslv consider anything you suggest.
Please answer at once and let me know yoor points.

p4 s. — Could we not arrange a little preliminary shoot
between Sacramento and San Francisco— fay ten men on a
aide at twenty live birds, for a little pot? I think I could
bring some oi our boys to fcacramento if you would return
the compliment,

Sheldon I. Kellogg.

The Blue Rock Club.

The Blue Kock Clnb meets this afternoon at Shell Point.
Take South Pacific Coast Railway to Alameda Point.

The shoot is to be at twenty single Blue Kock targets,
American Shooting Association Eules.

A unique contribution to the literature of the gun is that
sent by a market hunter whose feelings were rasped by some
strictures upon the practices common among those who
shoot for market. His letter is printed precisely as written.
He writes:

I See an item in the Record-Union of June 20th that Ruf-
fels my feth Headed game Exterminators and charging it to
market Hunteis now I Have Bin Hinting for market for the
last 8 years and I never Have shot Eny game out of season
yet and Do not know of any market Hunters that Has But I
know that it is So called Sports from citjs and towns that
is the Perprotrdo there are men of lesure that likes the fun
they cars nothing for the game as fooi only to Have som
Sport and v- ry often they are the limbs of the Law. I Have
Done all in my Power to Protect the game at this Place "When
It shuld Be Protekted & I wish that we Had a law on Ducks
a gain as they ought to be Protekted in the Raising season
now allow me to say thai I Know a most all of the market
Hunter <fc I Do not know one But when the Shooting season
is over He Layes His gun a way until the next winter We
Do not shoot for fun But for tbe money that is in it and
there By give People in the citys food that they wold other
wise not get for if they Depended on the city Sports they
would not get Eny as we often meet men that can't Kill some
and we sell them a good String and Promis to Keep Still jiow
give the market Hunter a Rest & go for your Rich neighbors

J. Martin Barney Heard From.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I arrived here about
June 1st, bringing along the dogs. I was very sorry not to
be at the Prcific Keunel Club show, but it was just impos-
sible.

I have to keep the dogs very close here on account of tbe
new dog law, which not only exacts a license fee of §1.15 for
dogs and $5.15 for bitches, but after June 1st every dog run-
ning at large (and they are considered at large unless attached
to owner or keeper by strap or chain) shall wear a keavy wire
muzzle. Dogs found without such a muzzle may be killed
by any one, and the owner charged §5 for such killit g. I
think that law will help to shorten the visit of one dog man
at least.

I expect to go over into the country after woodcock as soon
as the close season is over, and if I meet with any success
will drop a line to the Breeder and Sportsman,

I am hoping to finish up my business so I can get back for
the quail season to a country where there is no law to inter-
fere with one's keeping one or fifty dogs if he feels like it.

About Scout Croxteth-

Editor, Breeder and Sportsman: — Your favor received
some d&ys ago. I was away for some days, hence the delay
in answering. Yes, Scout is dead, and I never felt the loss
of anything as I do the loss of Scout- 1 will explain to you
what I think was the cause of his death.

On Sunday, the 16th of June, Scout and my spaniel bitch
were let out of their kennels at about half past six in the
morning. I let them run around until I got through milking.
About half past seven I missed them, and they could not be
found on the ranch. I hunted all day through the hills for
them, but to no purpose. The day was very hot, and the
water in the hills is as cold as ice water, and I was afraid
they would get over-heated and drink too much of it. I had
three men hunting all day for them, but could not find them.
At about six o'clock that evening the spaniel was foand and
brought home to me. At about half-past nine that same
night Scout came home himself. I fed him and he ate well.
Monday he was very tired and stayed in his kennel all day,
but ate plenty. Taesday he was about the same, but on
■Vednesday he refused his food, and on Thursday he was
very bad, and coughed very hard. I did eveiything I could
for him, but he kept growing worse until Friday night at
about eleven o'clock he died.

It was, in my opinion, a very bad case of pneumonia com-
ing on for the first three days after he got away, bnt which
did not develope itself until Wednesday, and in three days
he was dead. So you see he did not want for food, as he
was only away from the house one day, and ate well after he
returned borne.

I feel his loss very much, as it leaves me without a stud
dog, and I am afraid it wi'l be a long time before I have
another as good as Scout. I had just sold the last dog puppy
by him out of Romp P., and a very fine one he is. I am in
hopes of getting him back. I had just got a very fine bitch
puppy by Climax out of Donna Sensation lor the purpose of
breeding to Scout, but I am left again in that. If I can buy
the litter brother to Scout, I shall do so, and am waiting for
a reply to a letter sent last week. If I get him will let you
knowD. T. J. PlNDEK.

Santa Rosa, July 10, 1889.

Several parties of keen sportsmen have visited the hills,
where their strength lies, for deer during the week. Messrs.
William Schreiber, Will 0. Brown, Joe Wa>ser, Barney Gh-
lindo and Davidson spent a day on Xioasio Ridge, some ten
miles from Novato. They had two good hounds, Jim and
Barney Galindo's bitch, and one bad one, Dublin. The
canyons for several miles were closely drawn, but not a buck:
could be started. Iu fact, no deer of any sort wa-
The day was hot and still, and trailing very bad.

Anyone having King Charles or Blenheim spaniels for sale
will confer a favor by sending address to this office.

On Wednesday last Mr. Sebreiber and Sergeant Nash, both
superior rifle shots left for Novato deer hunting.

C. D. Ladd and party visited Black Point, Sonoma
County, and started two bucks, but could not get fair shots.
The mosquitoes were plenty, and so voracious that at inter-
vals the hounds were compelled to lie do*n and roll to free
themselves of the pests.

A party from Petaluma hunted Pacheco Ridge on Monday-
last, and saw two bucks, but the mosquitoes drove them to
camp before 9 o'clock, and tbe sport was given up.

The London Shooting Times reproduces, with credit, our
picture of Mr. William Graham, Mr. Graham has reached
his home ere this and we venture to remind bim that he has
a lot of friends here who would like to hear from him
through the Breeder and Sportsman.

On Tuesday hist Will Brown and Joe Wasser hunted on
lit. Tamalpais, and started Ave deer in Steep Ravine, but
failed to come within shooting dis'ance, and on the follow-
ing day they agaio tried Steep Ravine, but failed to find, and
went over to Bootjack, where they put out two deer without
killing, however.

Mr. G. C. Cleather, the courteous and popular manager of
the Spratts Patent (America) Limited, writes us this week
that the company has felt obliged to erect boarding and sale
kennels. So many requests have come to board dogs tbat
commodious kennels have been erected at Northvale, N. J ,
and will be superintended by Mr. William Tallman, very
widely known and favorably as a competent kennel man and
Uainer. The assistant, who will reside upon the premises
will be Mr. Michael Murphy, a reliable and faithful man.
Those who wish to send their dogs, either for board or ulti-
mate sale, can ship them to the place mentioned, and for full
particulars may apply to Spratts Patent (America) at 239
East 56th Street, New York City.

Quoting our comments upon the work of Mr. William
Graham at the P. K. C- show the London Stock-Keeper and
Fanciers Chronicle remarkB:

Thus reports the American Breeder and Sportsman of
Mr. Wm. Graham's appearance in the ring at the Pacifc
Kennel Club's Show. That we are satisfied to read such con-
firmation of our own opinion may be taken for granted.
Billie Graham is worth a bagful of the bumptious British
braggarts at prtsent trading on Jonathan's canine credulity:
Ah! but if the bhoys at home could only see ye, ah it's
proud ya'U be getting now Misther William!

Some notes abuit the trotting dog, which is now an at-
traction in Canada, may be of interest. The dog "Doc" is
owned by a twelve-year-old boy named Willie Ketchnm, who
lives at Brighton, Ontario, Canada, "Doc" is an Irish red set-
ter, not quite two years old, of good form and great substance.
His gait to harcess is a square trot, and he makes such good
time as to defeat all the trotting ponies matched against
him. He is driven to sulky, and in his last match trotted
half-mile heats best two in three against the two fastest po-
nies that could be found in Canada. Doc trotted without a
skip, "winning in straight heats, over a rather soft track, sev-
eral races haviug already been done over it. Times, 1:04,
2:05. The dog is open for a match against any twelve-hands
pony.

During a recent visit to Los Angeles an opportunity was
afforded io visit the home of that notable pointer man, Mr.
Robert T. Vandevort. Mr. Vandevorfc kindly invited this
chronicler, Mr. A. B. Truman, and H. P. Rennie to Olivi-
wood, a suburb of Los Angeles, some ten miles from the
heart of the city. A half hour's ride by train and the doggy
men were deposited near the beautiful country house rtcently
built by Mr. Vandevort. A commodious, elegantly situated,
richly finished and furnished home, surrounded by groves of
oranges, olives and other fruits. Near the foot of the Sierra
Madre range of mountains, and supplied with water from
mountain springe, the home seemed all that even the most
fastidious could desire. The visitors had hardly been seated
before Mr. Vandevort introduced his young pointers, Billy,
three years old, by Don— Drab, and a bitch two years old,
of the same breeding. Billy is a stocky dog, much resembling
famous old Don, except that he is white and lemon, and a bit
higher ou the leg. Billy shows all the vim, pluck and bid —
ability of old Don, and while he han not had much chance to
develope, is yet pronounced by Mr. Vandevort a worthy suc-
cessor to his sire. The bitch is lighter all over, a very nice
level mover, handsome and gamy. Both will be taken to
Bakerstield about January 1st, and given a mouth of con-
tinuous work on birds, which will probably under their
owner's skillful direction, make them tip top workers. After
a charming luncheon, and a half hours chat with father and
mother Vandevort, than whom two more hale, hearty and
kindly folks cannot be imagined, the visitors were shown the
grave where old Don lies, with paling and headstone, as be-
fit his rare excellence and fame. Tnen the rockaway and
high stepper were utilized in driving all about Olivewood
and Pasadena, through miles of well kept roads, by hundreds
of the most beautiful homes it has ever b_jen our lot to see.
The houaes, all modern in style, nicely kept and surrounded
by lawns, shrubberies and fruit groves all in richest foliage
and free from weeds and evidences of neglect. Toppirg
occasional emininces, as far as eye cou'd reach, the valley of
San Gabriel seemed one vast village, all of rich design and
bearing every ihdication of affluence. But even such pleas-
ure as association with rare Vandevort had to end, and the
party were safely deposited at Pasadena depot for the 4 p. m.
train to return to Los Angeles and the small army of qneru-
lous exhibitors at the bench show. It is little wonder that
Mr. Vandevort can only with difficulty be pursuaded to leave
his charming home to endure the ills and bufferings incident
to field trial judging, and attendance at the P. K. C.fchows.
No greater temptation to repnse, reflection and utter disre-
gard of the bustle and too often fruitless activity of metro-
politan life could be offered, than the banana shaded veran-
dahs, looped in Marechul Neils and ceiled in smilax, of the
Vandevort home iu fragrant Olivewood.

An incident of th« Los Angeles trip recently made was a
day spent at Bakerstield with Messrs W. E. Houghton, C.
E. Lechner. H. L. Borgwardt, Jr.. A. T. Lightner and D. A.
Leonard, all of whom have made their titles clear to mansions
in the regard of tbe field trial men of California. A'
fast at the New Southern Hotel, and a stroll over the
used up au hour or two of the morning, and it v
posed that a drive by the trial grounds be taken, i
plenty quails were. The suggestion met unanimous ■a\
and Leonard was soon at hand with a team that won

Kind Words.
Leslie E. Macleod, of Wallace's Monthly, in bis
"Notes and Comments" in that popular journal, has the
following squib about the new proprietor of this paper,
which at luast shows kind wishes. Ho is rather rough
on "drim," howover, that worthy having dropped an-
gling, his entire time being taken up with the sport of
kings

The Breeder, and SPORTSMAN, of Bun Francisco, has
'•Ijttuged owners and management. In March Mr. Joseph
tfairn Simpson retired and sold his inten st to his two part-

lers, ami recently one of them, Mr. James P. Kerr, Las pur-
chased the whole paper. The genial and perennial Major

lex P. Waugh, with whom I was sometimes wout to pur-
f e the elusive billurd-ball at the Astor House before he
went to the golden phore, and with whom I spent many
pleasant tours in San Franoisoo last winter, is still on the

s'aff, and he makes the paper breezy and newsy. Brother
Waugh is a great institution wherever he is, and I should
like to enter him in the Evening World fish story competi-
tion. He'd win in a canter. The field department of the
Breedeb is safe in Dr. Briggs' hands, and no one wishes the
whole combination, individually and collectively, greater for-
tune than the undersigned.

State Fair Speed Programme.

The ma.nage.-s of the State Fair have arranged the
speed programme in good form all through, and the
closing week will be most interesting and exciting. The
programme for the first week has already been given in
these columns. The second begins Monday, and ends
Saturday, the 21st. The closing day of the fair promises
very lively sport, and rousing entertainment on every
day.

On Monday will come first the Daisy D. stake, three
quarters of a mile, for all ages, §50 each, half forfeit, or
$15 if declared before September 1, $350 added, $100 to
the second, the third to save stake. Non winners of
this year allowed five pounds; maidens of two years,
five; of four or more, seven pounds.

Next, the Capital City Stake, a handicap for three-
year-olds; a mile and a sixteenth; S 100 each, half for-

Does Breeding Trotters Pay?
A consideration of this question will more and more
lead to the conclusion that breeding trotters is among
the most profitable, as it is one of the most prideful pur-
suits in which niea embark. It requires large capital to
establish a breeding farm, and the fine discrimination
and sound judgment essential to the purpose are impor-
tant factois. Investigation and study are needed to
ascertaiu the nature and hereditary qualities of the noted
equine lines; the powers and peculiarities of the individ-
ual, the results of crosses, and the tendency of parent-
age, and all else which concerns the breeding and com-
mingling of blood. But those whose wealth enables
them to establish and maintain large breeding farms
do not depend upon newspaper advice or suggestions
lor information of the business. It is mainly to the
farmers and others who use horses in their occupations,
and have the advantages and means to unite breeding of
stock with their other pursuits, that the consideration of
the subject is suggested. It will grow with deliberation.
Industries and entemrises are judged according to the
degree and measure of success wrought as they have
continued and progressed. The farming of half a cen-
tury ago has advanced from its comparatively primitive
methods and insignificant earnings to methods embrac_
ing a high degree of art, combined with science and
greater profit in the result. Similarly in mechanics and
professions. As invention and broader intelligence per.
vade, mankind progresses to superior excellence. The
accumulation of wealth begets new'ideas of living, and
the progressive rivalry of communities spurs men to fur-
ther accomplishment. The plain dwelling has made way
for the elegant home; the clumsy wagon is displaced for
the handsome vehicles of the period; there is more dis-
play and expenditure in dress- and in everything that
men and women have concern there is development of
taste, and s.yle, and surroundings. The common is giv-
ing way to the better or grander or magnificent; the
inferior to the superior. Among these manifestations of
progress in taste and style is the taste for fine horses.

The farmer incurs the heavy outlay of costly agrioul.
tural implements, worked by steam, because he is sure
of ultimate better results and increased profit over the
old fashioned husbandry by manual labor. The man-
ufacturer refits his factory at great cost, because he feels
confident that the increased capacity and better qualities
will bring him larger trade and more enrich him. The
mechanic and artisan provide themselves with expensive
inventions to facilitate their wcrk and enlarge their
sphere of business. Similarly does the merchant or the
dealer secure for his delivery wagons horses of better
quality at more cost. All find profit and benefit besides
in relinquishing the old system and adopting the new, in
striving toward the best.

In business pursuits strict methods and economy are
pursued. In the recreations and pleasures of life come
the lavish flow, the costly display, the gratification of
the taste regardless of cost. It is an error that fewer
men are rich than formerly. The fact is there are greater
accumulations of wealth in the hands of a larger number
than ever before, and that there is a larger proportion of
rich men, of men in comfortable circumstances, possessed
of a competency, and well-to-do, than at any former
period, in this country. There are a large number of the
actually poor and of paupers; but the reason of this is
obvious and palpable. Many are brought to this condi-
tion by their own fault, their improvidences, or their
recklessness. Tens of thousands are landed upon our
shores from Europe every year to swell the number
already here. They are the poor of Europe, the paupers
of foreign lands, which make the bad showing that
demagogues magnify. But as to wealth itself, there
never was so much in the country; there was never
greater prosperity; there has never been the equal of
this period in enterprises and means which lead to the
acquisition of riches and of great wealth.

This broadly scattered and diffused wealth, distributed
among the much larger number than ever before en-
joyed it, is the cause and support of two variant and dis-
similar, though not opposing or conflicting conditions in
community. The overplus of capital compels the quest
for new fields for its safe employment and investment,
;ts profitable and beneficial use; also, it excites the dis-
position aDd enables its possessor to indulge in the grat-
ification of his desires, even to extravagance. Mankind
naturally have fanoy for all the domestic animals. As
horses and dogs are of these the most companionable
and most devoted to man, they are his favorites. As
men acquire riches they indulge this fondness. Very
naturally a fine horse or a fine dog is preferred to one of
low degree. The price is a matter of small considera-
tion where fancy and desire are the prompters and the
purse is of less care. There are now a greater number
of men who can afford to buy fine horses than ever there
has been; consequently more fine horses will be bought,
and the supply is not likely to exceed the demand, no

matter how many embark in the pursuit of breeding to
sustain the market.

The fondness for fine horses is not a "craze" of a day
or a generation, as was that for tulips, for the moris mul-
ticaulis, for party hats, etc. In every age of the world,
every people blessed with knowledge of the horse — the
savages of the plains, the nomads of the desert, the most
enlightened — have prized tne noble animal. It is only
within the century that attention has been devoted in
our own country to the superior breeding of ilie horse,
and the ordinary common, low bred Dorse was the horse
of all classes alike. Only the rich and the piideful took
the care and paid the price to obtain fine horsss; only
i he sagacious breeder has the foresight to import thor-
oughbreds, to breed for raciDg mainly. But thorough-
breds are of less value to the farmer and the people gen-
erally than the fine trotters, which ate roadsters, and
make the best of horses for driving and pleasuring, for
farm use and city work. As the breeding is improved
the quality of the horse is bettered.

Forty years back there was not in the entire United
States a breeding farm devoted to the production of trot-
ters. Now there are breeding farms in nearly every
State; fully from two hundred to three hundred in all;
and although more attention than ever before is devoted
to thoroughbreds, still greater attention is devoted to the
breeding of trotters. Many millions of dollars are in-
vested in the pursuit, and among the owners of these
grand farms are the first men of the country in public
and in private life — the first in character and public
estimation, the first in wealth and great benevolence, the
first in intelligence and enterprise. California contains
a generous proportion — the farms at Palo Alto, at San
Mateo, at Del Paso, at Santa Anita, at Hosemeade, at St.
Miguel, the Holly Farm, at Pleasanton, and others. The
oldest of these is within fifteen years of age, yet from
them has been produced upwards of one hundred trotters
1n the 2:30 class, some of which have records as low as
2:12. Besides these are the many which have developed
into finest roadsters and horses for pleasure driving, val-
uable for city use, for the farm, for general work. The
other Pacific States are similarly progressing. In the
States east breeding farms are increasing and prosper-
ing. More pride in horses is taken, and much better
prices are realized for the horses. It is gratifying to
contemplate that the horses bred in California com-
mand, the highest prices at the large sales in New York
and other cities on that side. This is proof of the quali-
ty, proof of the profit in the breeding.

The farmer appreciates that it is a false economy to
give twenty dollars for a poor farm implement which
will neither answer his purpose nor return bim its cost;
that the true economy is to pay for a first rate imple-
ment which will richly compensate by its worth. The
same with his live stock — to breed in cattle for the best
for the dairy, or for beef; in sheep, for the best in the
fleece, or for mutton; in swine, for the best in pork. So,
in horses, to breed for the superior qualities which make
horses most valuable for use or most prized at sale.

A visit to the farming counties and to the interior
marketing towns of the State will satisfy the visitor that
the breeding and purchase and use of fine and good
horses is becoming more and better appreciated by all.
Every well-to-do farmer has his fast roadsters for his
own prideful driving, in team or single; his handsome
pair for his wife and his sons and daughters to drive to
town. The town notables likewise have their speedy
trotter and natty rig to take the road from any they
meet. To the express wagons and all in delivery line,
good horses are attached. Plugs have no call — only the
poorest and meanest have them. The demand is for
good, fine, superior, speedy, fast horses, for trotters with
record low in the turf figures. It pays to raise horses of
these qualities. Every farmer can raise his own, and for
sale.

The preliminary race was the Introduction Stake /or which
the entries were Hot Spur, Laura Gardner, McCoruiack,
Sbiner, Welcome, Jack Brady and Applause, but only the
last three faced the starter. Brady and Welcome alternated
as choice in the pools, Applause having but poor support,
this being his tirst race of the season. As usual Welcome
wore the "rogues badge," which seemed to cause surprise
among many of the spectators, they not being used to see
horses run in blinkers. Jack Brady got the best of the p -nd
off by a clear open length, which he kept almost to the half,
where "Welcome was given her head and rapidly passed the
DaviB entry. From there oat the race was virtually over, as
Welcome was never headed, winning easily, Brady second,
with Applause a good third.

Racing: at Eureka.

The reorganized Jockey Tuesday Club of .Eureka, gave I
their initial meeting, commencing July 2nd. The day was
all that could be wished for, and as a consequence, the at-
tendance waslarger than usoal on a tirst day, bnt still not
what it should have been, nor what the spoit warranted.
Horsemen from all over the State were present, and many of
the horses that contested at the last meeting of the Pacific
Coast BK od Horse Association had been taken np to contest
for toe rich purses, hung up by the Eoreka Club. Many
improvements had been made by the Executive Committee,
and the spectators as well as the horsemen were prolific in
praise, for what had been done for their additional comfort.
The pool selling and mutual pools, were under the charge of
Al Leach, of San Francisco, that gentleman giving general
satisfaction to the patrons of "the bux " To add to the
brilliancy of the occasion the ladies stand was well tilled, the
elegant costumes lending a charm to the scene. The mem-
bers of the association did everything in their power to make
the visit of strangers a pleasant one and there is not a person
who attended but will try to be present at the nest meeting.

The judges of the day were Messrs. Roberts, Devoy, Mur-
phy and Pine,

A trotting race for district horses was the next event on
the card and was productive of much betting, the starters
being Pete Steinway, Waldstein, and Poscora Hayward Jr.
In the tirst heat there was considerable delay in giving them
the word and it was not until the seventh attempt that they
were sent off with Steinway leading. Owing to a break
Waldstein was soon in the rear, but settling rapidly, he
gradually forged ahead, and at the three-quarter pole was
leading his held. From there out he won the heat handily
in 2:39£, Poscora Hayward Jr. distanced. WaldBtein won
both of "the next heats easily in 2:40] and 2:41£, In the last
heat Steinway's driver was changed, owing to the dissatis-
faction of those who were backing the grey gelding, but the
change made no difference, as in the final heat Steinway was
distanced.

WEDNESDAY.

If ever a day was perfect for racing Wednesday, July 3rd
was, and that the sport had "caught on" was evident from
the increased attendance. Matt Stora was given the flag for
this day's sport, and it goes without saying tnat the work
was satisfactorily completed. The opening event was a five-
eighths dash, the only Btarters being Pliny and Emma Nevada.
The former had things all his own way from start to finish,
the namesake of the Cantatrice, never being in the hunt.

The second race on the card was a mile dash which had
Welcome, Dave Douglas and Laura Gardner for starters. The
latter mare was the favorite in the pools, but Welcome was
the first to catch the judges eyes, under the wire.

the front, they being Jack Brady, Hotspur, JleCormack and
Asa. Brady was the favorite at $25, Hotspur §20, and the

THURSDAY.

On the Fourth of course every one, man woman and child,
turned out in splendid style to go to the raoes, and all went
home perfectly satisfied with the day's sport provided. The
first race on the card was the six forlong free for all, with
four starters. Pliny was made a red-hot favorite in the pools
and justified the confidence placed in him by jumping off in
front and keeping there until the wire was reached, with
Emmr Nevada a good second.

The Eureka Derby, rather a misnomer, for it was for 3-
year-olds and over, brought out four starters. Laura Gar-
dner was at once installed favorite and backers were once
more jubilant, for the pretty little chestnut went right to the
front, and making all the running, romped home an easy
winner, with G. W. second.

All three started in the fourth heat, which Susie again won.
this time easier than before. Time 0:513. There waB a good
deal of argument as to which horse should start in the last
heat, and finally the judges allowed all three, which luckily
did not affect the race; according to rule 84. Blood Horse As-

The Free-for-all had three starters, two trotters and Damiana
pacer. After a short delay Perihelion and Covey went out in
front, and Covey going fast took the pole at the quarter, but
Perihelion settled down, and trotting in good style went past
at the half, and though squeezed by the pacer, won the heat
by a length in 2:35, Damiana second. The positions were
reversed in the next heat. D ^miana winning readily. Peri-
helion second. 2:36£. Damiana was not pushed in the
third heat, allowing Perihelion to win nicely from Covey.

FRIDAY.

There was a noticeable falling off in the attendance, the
weather not being qiite as good as it had been, the wind
especially being troublesome. The first race was a mile and
a quarter, with fonr starters. In the pools Gardiner and
Welcome alternated as favorites. A very fair start was mad*,
and G. W. at once rushed to the front and made the pace for
six furlongp, where they all closed up, and a very sharp
tnssle ensued until the draw-gate, where Gardiner drew oat,
winning cleverly at the finish from Welcome.

An amateur foot raoe, 100 yards, for championship of
Humboldt County and a fifty-doll u* gold medal, was then
brought off, the two contestants making a splendid race to
the wire, which Char'es Freese reached two yards in front of
Fred Hanson. The half mile and repeat had three starters.
Stoneman sold a big favorite in the pools, and did not give
his backers a qualm, for he won in straight heats, both in
4S£, in the easiest possible manner. Pur.-e, $250, of which

The heats in the half mile and the tro. were sandwiched.
In the half mile and repeat there were thiee starters, all well
known crack sprinters. Sleepy Dick was made favorite, and
readily accounted for the first he.U in :49.

The second heat was productive of a slashing race all the
way, the two mares (Susie S. and Lida) ronninf a dead heat,
Dick only a short length off in 0:48J. The third heat was won
cleverly by Susie S. in 50 seconds, with Dick again third.

The last race of the meeting was a trotting race, with Elec-
tric, Steinway and Waldstein. Waldstein sold for $20 to the
field $8. After a long delay scoring, Steinway went off in
front, and with the favorite breaking badly Eleotric passed
Steinway and led to the three-quarter pole, when she broke
and Steinway passed her and won the heat, Electric second
and Waldstein, who had not gained any of his lost ground, a
bad third. Time 2:40.

WaldBtein sold for $4U to the field S32.
Steinway was in front when the bell rang, and trotting
steadily won handily, while Waldstein, who was very
erratic, finished second. Time 2:38.

Steinway now sold a big favorite, bringing $10 to the
others' §8.

WaldBtein took the lead and pole shortly after the start,
and held it throughout the race, opening a wide but evenly
divided gap between the other two, and taking the heat in
2:35|-. Electric trotted very well, bnt the company was too
g od, and she was run in to save distance. Steinway went
to pieces and it was only by running him the last quarter
that he managed to save his distance. After some delibera*
tion the judges gave the heat and race to Waldstein and dis-
tanced the other two.

SATURDAY.

The stewards being well satisfied with the attendance and
sport provided, decided to have an extra day. The attend-
ance was not as large as it had been on previous days,
probably owing to the excitement caused by the tire. The
first race was a consolation purse of $150, of which $50 to
second, and $25 to third, for beaten horses, seven furlongs.
After a few false starts, the timer's and and assistant
starter's flags were dropped, and Applause won handily, but
as the starter hart not dropped his flag they had to come
back, and after a short interval they were again sent off, the
favorite (Applause) winning easily by t«o lengths from Asa;
timel:37|. The second race was for a purse of $100, «f
which $25 to second; nine-sixteenths ofa mile. Furgeson

were despatched ut the first attempt, the favorite winning
all the way, with Susie S. second, lime, 55.}.

The last race of the meeting was an owners handicap, one
and one quarter mile, for a purse $150, second to receive $25,
Applause 95 poinds; Black Pilot 83 pounds; and Dave
Douglas 80 pounds. The tirst pojl sold was ¥20 Dave
Douglas choice. Black Pilot brought $5 and Applause $2,
but at the finish there was no bid for the field against Dong-
las. Black Pilot jumped off in front and made the running
for a mile with Applause second and the favorite running
easy, third, when well in the stretch Douglas rapidly closed up
and passing the other two won pretty easily. Pilot beating

slnoting over, and the party titted out with guns, 2*2 calibre
r fles and a load of ammiiDition. Going down, the roa i lead-
ing direct to the school hoase was followed, and when return-
ing the new avenne running by the red house on section 17,
where the trials began two years ago, was used. The cover
on the reserved sections is good, stock having been kept
off and the grasses permitted to grow luxuriantly, the result
being that the quails from surrounding sections have been
attracted and have nested upon the land until they are
almo6t too abundant. Not less than thirty bevies use on
sections 17 and IS, and as shooters will be religiously ex-
cluded, the field Irialers can relv upon the best possible con-
ditions in January next. The ditches running through the
reserved sections will all have water turned into them at
intervals, so that the birds will have no reason to wander.
Those who have atteuded the trials hitherto can appreciate
the delight felt by the writer in being upon that familiar
ground, but one thing being lacking, and that the presence
of Joe, Henry and George Bassford, Post, J. G. Elwards,
Foote, Rose, Meriweather, Scbreiber, Llnville, Payne, Taft,
Vandevort, Shatter, Chipman. Barney, Haas. Douham, and
all the rest. Every one of those who has attended former
trials is remembered by the Knights of the Trigger with high
regard, and numberless questions were asked and answered
about them — the hope being invariably expressed that they
would all be spared to be present at the next trials. After
inspection of the grounds, a little drive wsb made to a ranch
owned by Mr. K. E. Hoaghton, a brother to that marvel-
lously enthusiastic, energetic and likeable sportsman, W. E.
Hooghton. to whose effectiveness and generosity Bakersfield
owes its prominence as a field trial center. At the ranch the
major domo, Mr. J. P. James, an old time reader of the
Breeder and Sportsman, welcomed the p^rty, and immedi-
ately turned this scribe loose in the ponltry yard, witn carte
blanche to knock over as many young chickens as he thought
necessary to furnish forth a dinner table. The scribe killed
some half dozen or so, which would have been plenty but
for Mr. Borgwardt's absent-mindedness. When the chickenR
were perfectly broiled and served and placed before Borg-
wardt, that royal good fellow was in a reverie, and continued
taking pieces of chicken until none were left, when bread,
cucumbers, claret, milk, tea, and everything else were ab-
sorbed by the Snllivdnesque diner, who had to be abruptly
enjoined or he would have gone on indefinitely. The only
excuse he offered was that he didn't feel very well, and was
thinking of something. While waiting for luncheon, Hough-
ton, Ed. Lechner. Borgwardt and Lightutr went over into an
adjacent field and killed five dozen dove?, and after the meal
the shooting was resumed, the result being the addition of
three dozens to the bag. Toward evening the party drove
back to Bakersfield along Uniou Avenue, a twe've-urile drive
recently constructed, which runs by the red house ou sec-
tion 17. Many of the business men of Bakersfield were met,
all of whom joined in expressions of pleasure at the success
of the Knights of the Trigger and the field trials.

The dailies of Sunday announced the destruction of Bak"
ersfield by fire. Thirteen blocks, mostly business houses,
were destroyed, not a single store or warehouse being left.
The new hotel and the Arlington were both burned, as well
as the Weill block, where so many sportsmen have roomed.
Every restaurant, grocery and market was obliterated and a
large number of houses. Theloss aggregated $1,250,000, with
$324,000 insurance. The elegantly fitted roomB of the Knights
of the Trigger, just finished with every necessary for comfort
and convenience, were burned, not a thing being saved.
Among the sportsmen the heaviest losers were the Lechner
Brother*, Houghton and Lightuer and H. L. Borgwardt, Jr.
The>oergy and recuperative power of the Bakersfield com-
munity was well shown on the day after the fire. No appeal
fur assistance was Bent out, but the citizens whose homes
were Dot buroed apportioned the homeless among them for
shelter. Messrs. Haggin and Carr and Miller and Lux gave
orders to supply all wants in the way of food, and rebuilding
was at once begun. Two days after the fire twenty-six tem-
porary structures were up and open for business. Bdkers-
rield is bound to be a great business centre, and the fire,
while disastrous, cannot stop the push and foresight of the
men who have ;made a paradise of that portion of Kern
County. It is a pleasure to know that no lives were lost, and
to the sportsmen particularly many expression j of sympathy
and regret are conveyed.

Ventura Racing News.

A very nierry crowd weut down to Ventura on the 4tb to
witness the races there. The ride down, of thirty miles,
was a glorious one, for the train goes along tlie seashore all
the way; and we sit in the comfortable cars and look
out into the broad sea, and those whose poetical spirits are
enchanted by the scene before them, with joyous souls sing
out:

" The sea.! tbe sea! tbe open sea!

The blue, the fresh, the ever free!

Without a mark, without a bound,

It runneth the earth's wide regions round;

It plays witb the clouds; it mocks tbe skies;

Or like a cradled creature lies "

When we arrived at Ventura we had but half an hour iu
which to eat our lunch. We all hurried through it, aud
then down to the track we went. There were women, men
and children cheering the proud horses as they came on the
track. The first race was for named horses, and the five
that came out to trot were too many for the narrow half-
mile track of Ventura. Of the five horses that started, four
of them were sired by A. W. Richmond. All of them had
plenty of speed, but surely they had not been very well
nandled, for they broke when going slow, and when urged
a little they would sulk. Ben Harrison was very quiet,
and he was well driven by L. J. Rose, Jr. The pools sold:
Ben Harrison, $10.00; Roseo Conkling, $10.00, and the
field $3 00. The g g. Romeo was very stubborn, and his
driver, James Mack, wanted to withdraw him, but the
judges told him to do the best he could with the horse; so,
after scoring a dozen times — it was trying on our patience
—the horses went off to a fair start. Ben Harrison led to
the first quarter, then Conkling came up with a rush and
found him. The two horses trotted like a double team, but
under the wire Conkling's head got there first; Harrison
second; Barney third; Stertengund and Romeo away be-
hind. Time, 2:45 The track is very heavy aud uneven.
Second heat was a repetition of the first tine— 2:45. Third
heat was easily won by Conkling; Barney second; Ben
Harrison third; time, 2:48.

Roico Conkling, that won the race, is a fine five-year-old
gelding by A. W. Richmond. The dam is untraced. "and Mr
Baertel gave fifty dollars for her. Coukling has a fine open
gait and is true, aud they say that he is game.

The second race was a very closely contested one from
wire to wire. Pools sold: Eli, by A. w. Richmond
$10.00; Maben, $8.00, and Werie Wilkes, by Guy
Wilkes, for $2 00. It did not take long to send< it', to a good
start, the three two-year-olds. Eli and Maben trotted

nicely, for nearly the whole m le, and they came under the
wire head and head, and though many declare,! that Maben
had WOU the licit, t lie judges derided' it a dead heat. The

mile was trotted in 3:12. Very good time considering the
dark and the green colts. Werte Wilkes made a poor show-
ing Be hopper] around and came in away behind. The
Bports rushed to the pool stand and Eli sold for $10 00-

Mal.m, SlIMlll ;itl,l Wilkes S I . I II . This lent was :iU.. very

closely contested, and Eli managed to get the heat, Maben
making a bad break just be tore reaching the wire. Time
3:05.

Tbe third heat was very interesting. Eli aud Maben trotted
head and heel all around and twenty yards from the wire.
Eli broke and run iu ahead. The judges gave the heat and
race to Eli. Mauy thought that Maben won the race, but
the judges gave it to Eh, and the Eli men were jubilant. The
last heat was (rotted in 3:04.

The third race caused grtat laughter, excitement and re-
pentance. The horses that started were:

G g by A. W. Richmond's Jeff, entertd by Frauk Treauor.

G g by A. W. Richmond's Leon, entered by Leon Lehman.

B h by A. W. Richmond, Richmond Jr.. entered by E
Battery. *

B. M. Lacer, Arabella, entered by I. F. Cooper.
The betting on this race was spirited, Arabella selling for
$10, Richmond for $S, and the field for S3. Arabella is a
small brown mare owned in Santa Barbara and the boys from
there were so certain that the mare could win, that they hung
closely to the pool stand and placed their money on Arabella.
It did not take the four long to get the word, go. Richmond
led very easy all the way around. The brown mare
broke. Cooper got tbe lines entangled in the wheels, but
this little accident did not dismay the amateur jockey. He
took them out and brought them down on the mare with
a vengeance, but he was too late and Richmond won the heat
in 2:48, Arabella second, Jeff third, aud Leon fourth. The
Santa Paula boys were not at all discouraged. They wanted
to bet $20 that Arabella would win tne next heat. Pools
sold livelier than before, and when the horses came up for
"go" the Arabella boys shouted themselves hoarse. The
horses were sent off to a good start. Soon after they left the
wire Arabella broke. Jeff broke and so did Leon. Rich-
mond Jr. trotted aB he liked and won easily, time 2:48, Jeff
2nd., Arabella 3rd., and and Leon fourth. The shout-
ing died away and you could hear Out the low murmur of
the ocean. The loud wind ceased, and the high rollers dis-
appeared .

The third heat came at last. Arabella could outpace Jeff
and Leon. Both settled down to trot and they crowded Rich-
mond Jr. when Jeffs sulky strack the fence and sent the
driver in the air. Leon won the heat, Richmond Jr., second,
Arabella third aDd Jeff away behind trying to get away with
the smashed sulky. When the drivers dismounted, Mrs.
Cooper, wife of J. F. Cooper, came down from the grand
stand and took possession of her mare Arabella. She de-
clared that the mare was being abused and that she wouldn't
let her Btart another heat. The crowd became again bois-
terous. The judges were wrath and they swore that Arabella
would start again. They ordered the marshal to take poses-
sion of the mare, but Mrs. Cooper was determined, and final-
ly the judges decided to give the mare to Mrs. Cooper and
rule the mare off forever.

The fourth heat and race was won by Rishmond Jr. Time,
2:44. Richmond Jr. is a level-headed gelding, and his dam
is a fine thoroughbred mare sired by Bennode. Thus ended
the races at Ventura. The unfortunate lowers are sorely dis-
appointed, and the winners had never witnessed fairer and
better races.

Ventura Co. is progressing rapidly, for on every farm you
will now find fine horses and mares. Chritman and Willough-
by take great interest in horse racing and they are ever ready
to assist. They have fine fillies that they are breeding to
good trotters. J. Hill ha6 many fillies by Ben Wade and
Wildidle that he ia breeding to trotters. Dewdrop, sired by
Algona, is owned in Ventura County; so is a tine bred aud
well proportioned son of Sultan.

The President of the Ventara Driving Park Association,
J. M. Kaiser, Esq., is a most enterprising and energetic gen-
tleman, who takes great interest in horses, and tolwhom Ven-
tura owes much for his indefatigable activity. Ventura track
at present lb heavy and too narrow. There is sufficient land
to make it a mile track, or they can widen the half-mile track
and improve it wonderfully. They lack stalls and a roof on
their grand stand.

It made my heart joyous to look upon the beautiful black
mare Dolly Dimple. She is a handsome mare. She has a
noble face, kind eyes and a most gentle disposition. If Mr.
Hill were to ask me what atallion I should breed her to, I
would without any hesitancy suggest Enmeror of Norfolk. I
have been kindly invited to take a trip through the northern
part of Santa Barbara County, and I shall the first opportu-
nity I have. I want to see J. M. Rochm's fine brown stallion
sired bv A. W. Richmond, dam Monte Belle, she by Ten-
brock, second dam Mary, dam of Tom Stout, record 2:24.
Whe 1 1 sold the stallion to J. M. Rochiu he promised great
speed. Merrit & Murray, of Santa Maria, have a fonr-year-
old stallion by Electioneer, oalled Elector. They say that he
is very fast aud trots and acts like the best sons of the great
producer. He will give the stallions in tbe fall race a close
call. My tip for thd stallion race is Don, Patricio. I have
great faith in this gray stallion, and I am confident that Gns
Walters will have the tiorse in tine condition for the race. I.
K. Fiske, Esq., proprietor of Don Patricio, is a keen, level
headed horseman, and if he starts Don Patricio iu the race
the horse is veiy likely to win.

Fourteen miles from the city of Santa Barbara is situated
the loveliest stock farm in Southern California It contains
six hundred acres, is well watered by a mountain stream,
and one hundred acres of which can be irrigated in case of
au extreme dry season. The farm is owned by a wealthy
gentleman of Santa Barbara, who will stock it with five
mares and a beantifnl brown stallion sired by Stamboul, dam
Carrie B. by A. W. Richmond; second dam Siliau, she by
Crichton. This gentleman means to purchase the finest
and to breed exclusively for trotters.

With the advantages that Santa Barbara climate has on all
other counties, the colts raised and trained here will knock
all previous records "silly." What have we raised in Santa
Barbara that has shown speed and endurance, mauy may
ask? "Well, we have raised one that has been trained by
skillful hands, aud what did he do? He can pace, I really
believe, in 2 flat, and his name is Arrow.

When Arrow was brought from Los Angeles he was eight
months, I believe. He was so poor, so sickly and sn small
for his age, that no one thought that he would live. He was
turned out, and when eighteen months old, we drove him
into a corral and lassoed him, and in a few minutes he was a
gelding. We turned him out and did not see him for three
months. When he was two years old we brought him to
Santa Barbara, aud broke him to harness. He had not been
broken two months when we shod him to make a trotter of
him. Eighteen ounces in front and eight behind, aud six
ounce toe weights on each front foot. We did not know how
to drive him. The climate did it all, and so will it be with
every colt trained here. Why, Harry Stamboul, sired by
Stamboul, will trot a mile in 2:12 when three years old, and
his brother, by Alcazar, will trot in 2:10 when four years old.
E. R. Den, the proud owner of Harry Stamboul, has also a
hue three-year-old by Hock-Hocking, and also a very speedy
filly by Wildidle. They are now being trained for the full
races by P. MenchacbH, the brave jocke> who rode Dutty
Dimple so successfully, aud who rode Wildidle when he
won the great race at Oakland against such horses as Lucky
B., Jocko. McKinstry aud others. That was a great day for
the rubbers of Wildidle. I shall never forget a darkey who
stood around the pool-stand with fifteen dollars iu his hand
anxious to buy a pool. Lucky B. would sell for two hun-
dred. Jooko reserved and some other have third and the field
for thirty and forty. At last the darkey bought a pool for
fourteen dollars, which called for over three hundred, aud
when he bought it he remarked, "Won't I's have a time if I
wins." I would like to have seen him when he cashed his
ticket. <j jj

:fl:e3:ive^.:fl:k:s.

The intention of the Directors of this Association is to make this place a central point for racing In
California. They recognize the fact, that in order to do>o. they have got to give large purses in order to ge'
first-class horses. Knowing they havd as well-appointed grounds and as good a track as there Is in Cali-
fornia, having first-class stabling and the best Club House on any track in California, and plenty of fine
grass for horses the whole year, and by dealing justly and fairly with the horsemen, we hope to receive
their patronage. We are situated about half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles, which makes It
an accessible point for the patronage of the whole State.

Being aware that the responsibility, to a great extent, of the Association, is not known outside of our
own State, we herewith at.ach a certificate, Bigned by the Banks of this City, as to the responsibility of the
Association.

We. the undersigned, do certify that the Fresno Fair GroundB Association is perfectly responsible

Gentlemen:— We bave used Ossidine for the past two vears

I and consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone

I and Spavins; there is nothing equals it; and for us it effected a

| permanent cure where firing failed, although perfoi med by one of

the mosc successful veterinarians on the continent. We have

I recoiiimendsd it to others with like success, and believe it has

nore merit than anv blister ever used.

Very respectfully yours, S. A. BRO WNE & Co., Prop's.

This scientific preparation is an absolute
cure for all bony or callous lumps on horses,
and is a more powerful absorbent than "fir-
ing," without creating the slightest blemish.
After a few applications the excrescence is so
palpably reduced that even the skeptical
frankly ackno* ledge that it is by far the most
valuable outward remedy for horses ever in-
vented.

I have long used it in my stables, and find it to be all
that is claimed for it in removing callous and unnatural

From my experience, I most stroDgly recommend the

to every stable. Yours respectfully,

There are farms arid farms, but the orje par excellence of
all I have visited in the State 1b that belonging to Mr. Josiah
H. "White at Lakeville, Sonoma County. This celebrated
stock farm is located about Bis miles southeast from Peta-
luma, the drive from town to Mr. White's being over a more
than average country road. On our arrival we are saluted
by a perfect army of children, which Mr. White hastens to
inform me are not all his own, for which information I
heartily thanked him, as it seemed to me that there were
young ones enough for at least half a dozen families. How-
fiver, it only take3 a moment to learn that Master Ed White
and Miss Edith, his Bister, are having a birthday party and
all the neighbors' children are helping to celebrate the great
«vent; and how they did enjoy themselves, far beyond the
comprehension of their elders, and in a way that the most
versatile writer would fail in the attempt, if he tried to pen
their doings and happiness.

MrB. White met us at the door with the cordiality always
extended by a California hostess to a stranger, and while
supper is being prepared a look is taken at the local build-
ings and grounds. Stables, barns, carriage house, grunnery
and houses for the help, all built separate and distinct, so
that in case of fire there is a strong probability that only one
of the mammoth buildings would be destroyed. There is
water in abundance taken from a reservoir on a hill some lit-
tle distance from any of the structures.

Mr. White's residence is situated on a rise of ground, on
the Eastern side of Petaluma Valley, from which a magnifi-
cent view is obtained of the great expanse, the eye being able
to distinguish for many miles farm after farm, with fine
substantial b'uildings, relieved from monotony by the
windings of Petaluma Creek, which meanders through the
open valley, looking like a great mass of molten bullion,as the
sun reflects back the silvery sheen. The small coast range
of hills, dotted all over with vineyards, adds to the beauty
of the scene, presenting a landscape that is rare, even in this
State, where eye pictures are so plentiful and varied.

The estate contains 1,800 acres in all, being divided about
■equally between hill and valley land, the latter used for hay
and grain, while the uplands are devoted to the fine trotting
horses, and large herds of Holstein cattle, for which the
farm is deservedly celebrated. In the immediate vicinity of
the house is a small orchard and a very fine vineyard, which
is very prolific. As it was late in the afternoon when I
arrived, a look at the stock was deferred until the following
morning, but a pleasant evening was spent in recalling old
reminiscences of the turf, and trying to sort out tangled
pedigrees, many of which have been changed within the
knowledge of both Mr. White and the writer. My host has
a remarkable memory, and many a good story was told of
races and race horses in the days gone. A good night's rest,
and we were ready for work in the morniog. I should not
say work, for pleasure can hardly be termed labor, and
surely it is a pleasure to see such fine broodmares as those in
the possession of Mr. White. Whether it is the climate or
the field that has such a wonderful effect on the stock I'm
sure it is impossible to say; but a finer looking lot of foals
and yearlings cannot be seen anywhere. It is really no exag-
geration to state that the large majority of the yearlings are
apt to be mistaken for two-year-olds by those ignorant of
their age.

Fanny, one of the queena of the harem, is probably better
known to the citizens of San Francisco as one of the cele-
brated Dean team, for which SS,000 was refused. She is a
handsome light chestnut, of tine conformation, and should
prove a valuable adjunot to the Stud. Fanny is by General
MoClellan, dam Maggie, a very fast trotting mare, whose

pedigree is ant raced. She has at foot a fine sturdy horse
colt by Hernanni, which should be a prize.

One mare was criticised closely, simply because she is by
Alexander 490. She is called Mattie Mac, and has a record
of 2:42i. Why so much attention was paid her can be told
very easily. There is every reason to believe that a son of
Alexander will make a very low record this year, and we al-
ready have Yolo Maid, 2:14, from a son of his, and if all ac-
counts are to be believed, there will be several others of the
same family that will get records low down in the "twen-
ties," if not in the '"teens," before this season closes. Mat-
tie Mac is a grand individual, and has by her side a splendid
filly by Hernanni, as magnificently proportioned as she is
herself, which is saying a good deal.

Kate, is by William's Bellfounder, 1st dam by Waterloo,
2nd dam by Biggart's Eattler, and is a shapely matron worthy
of gracing any field of brood mares in the country. While
the mare has arrived at such an age that she is usually desig-
nated as old Kate there is still life enough in the aged party
to claim the maternity of an esceed:ngly well put up colt by
Hernanni, and as she is still as frisky as a filly, there is a
prospect of her adding several more youngsters to the pro-
duce of Mr. White's farm.

Miss Kohl, is a daughter of Irvington, dam by Speculation,
and she has joined the corps of matrons by producing an
elegant filly by Admont. This is a very pretty little Miss
and already shows good trotting action.

Another of the fine mares is H. D. by Gen. McClellan, dam
by Little John, he by Belmont. H. D. has evidently made up
her mind not to be outdone in the size of foals for she has
given birth to a very large filly, but still the young one is
powerful and well proportioned, notwithstanding her size,
and should be a credit to her dam and sire Hernanni.

Annie is a fine specimen of the typical brood mare, and
for general looks is a hard one to beat. She is by General
McClellan, dam Lady Franklin, by imp. The Lawyer. She
lost a fine foal lately, which was by Hernanni.

Among others of his choice mares, Mr. White is able to
number, the well known Ralston mare, which was brought
to California a number of years ago for W. Ralston Esq. She
is by Alexander's Abdallah, and is in every way a great in-
dividual, having the strongly marked characteristics of the
Hambletonian family. She also has a foal by Hernanni,
which makts the youngster an inbred Hambletonian. Mr.
Requa, of Oakland, has a very fast colt out of this mare, of
which much is expected this season.

I also saw the old thoroughbred mare. Mary Givens, the
dam of Wild Oats. She has had no foal this year, but her
yearling by Hernanni, is a natural trotter if ever there was
one.

Another splendid yearling is an unnamed sister to Mount-
ain Quail, which Mr. White has in training at the Petaluma
track. She is by Hernanni, dam Annie by Gen. McClellan.

The Dude is aptly named, for he is a irery stylish two-
year-old, and carries himself with a great deal of dignity. He
is by Marco, dam Susie by a son of Gen. MoClellan.

Still another handsome yearling, is a son of Guy Wilkes,
out of MiBS Helen by General Benton; Miss Helen out of
Nettie George by Norfolk. This should be a rare good cross,
and as the colt is far above the average, it will not surprise
me to hear great things of him on the turf some day.

Of all the yearlings, however, I am inclined to pin my
faith on one by Hernanni, out of Miss Kohl. He is a fine,
big, strapping fellow, full of ambition, and as he is admira-
bly put up should make a name for both her sire and dam.
Like all the balance of the "lads and lassies," he has excel-
lent legs, in addition to massive shoulders and quarters, and
is full of promise for one of his age. Those who are watch-
ing the good young ones throughout the State, had better
keep their eyes on this one.

Miss Kohl is also the dam of Lola, a nice appearing two-

year-old, by Billy Lyle, he by Morrow's Elector 2:21J. Lola
is a pure gaited trotter, and should have been trained this
year, but Mr. White has a dozea at the Petaluma track now,
and he could not send all that he had.

One of the two-year- olds, which is rather prepossessing
in appearance is by Billy Lyle out of Mattie Mac. The
youngeter is a pure trotter and seems to know no other gait.

Still another of the good two-year-olds is Agnes by Billy
Lyle, dam Accident by Frank McClellan.

Julia is a handsome bay, two years old, by Hernanni,
dam Mesquite by Washington (a son of California Smuggler),
2nd dam a full Bister to St. Helena, 3rd dam Buttermilk Sal.

Lillie Franklin is by Billy Lyle, dam Annie by Gen.
McClellan, 2nd dam Lady Franklin. Lillie is a likely looking
filly, and will in all probability be kept for breeding pur-
poses.

It is usually supposed that horses named after great per-
sonages never amonnt to much, but the light chestnut two-
year old by Billy Lyle, which Mr. White has named Ben
Harrison, is a great trotter at present, and is full of promise.

There are many others running loose in the various large
fields, but the above will give a fair idea on what lines the
proprietor of all these broad acres is breeding. Not to be
outdone by the other prominent breeders of the State, Mr.
White has a full mile track on his premises, which by many
is considered the feBtest course in the State. It is here that
his colts are given their preparatory work, and their speed
tested, before they are sent to the tracks for public exhibition.
Already, as stated above, quite a number are at the Petaluma
track, under the charge of Mr. A. N. Burrell.

But Bays the reader, "You have mentioned a lot of Her-
nanni's get; now who is Hernanni?" Well, I will tell you.
He is a son of Electioneer, dam Gipsy, by Paul's Abdallah.
Hernanni was foaled in 18S0; is a beautiful bay, with dark
points, almost 16 hands high, and although 2:35 ie his re-
cord, he can trot in better time to-day, although only just
taken from the stud. Hernanni is well proportioned, except
that I think he is a little too long in the coupling; has splen-
did legs, grand Bhonlders, great depth of chest, and is a wor-
thy son of a worthy sire. His get are all large and possessed
of great power, and as ho is a sure foal getter, is altogether a
valuable horse for breeding trotters.

Now, one would naturally suppose that the farm and the
horses would keep Mr. White's idle moments fully employed,
but besides these varied pursuits there is time found to look
after a fine herd of Holstein Friesian cattle, which is second
to none in the State. When it was determined that this
breed of cattle should be purchased, Mr. White did not pick
them up here and there, but sent direct to New York and
purchased forty-two head in quarantine, getting an excellent
lot, and as good as money could purchase. This herd is
oelebrated for its quality, and individual members of it have
taken first prizes wherever shown.

Among the families represented in the herd are the Pieter,
Netherland, Aaggie and Kceningin, the very largest milk record
makers in the world. In personal merit, beauty, perform-
ance and pedigree this herd cannot be excelled in the State,
and its excellent producing quality is evinced in the fact that
on the common feed many of the cows produce from fifty to
sixty pounds of milk per day. The butter made from this
milk also has an enviable reputation, and the wholesale
dealers who contract fjr it give five cents per pound more
than for the very best of ordinary dairy butter. Mr. White
now has 115 head of pure bred Holsteins, and also vast num
bers of graded ones, his favorite cross being with the Ayre-
shire. There are many farmers who wonder if the buying
and breeding of fancy cattle pays. Let me whisper just a
word. Although this Holstein herd was only purchased a
short time ago, the increase sold has more than pai
original purchase. Can it be doubted that breedit;
of everything pays? The three choice bulls wbicl.

for service are Arc- Blanche- 348 H. F. H. B., a rare tine spec-
imen of the breed, and a prize winner wherever shown. Mr.
White will not show at Sacramento, as the judging has been
in the past so palpably unfair that he will not compete where
there iB no chance of having a fair decision. Mr. White
takes an active interest in the Petaluma Fair Association,
and will take especial pains to have several of the herd pre-
pared for show purposes.

As yet Mr. White has been very unfortunate in not having
had much success with his trotting-horses, but it is to be
sincerely hoped that the year 18S9 may see many of them
drop into the "30" list. The more the merrier, and there is
no one who will grasp "Siah" White's hand with more sin-
cerity than Grim, if every one he has in training should do
the trick.

"District" Colt Stakes a Misnomer.

Almost every fair in the State gives so-called "District
Colt Stakes," the avowed purpose thereof being to encourage
the "home" breeding of the higher classed trotting-horse,
and to offer inducements for its development by protecting
the small breeder from unequal competition with the larger
breeding farms all over the State. Where these extensive
breeding farms are within the district limits they are, of
course, "barred" The object is certainly laudable, inasmuch
as it certainly does cause the development of many a superior
colt whose merits would otherwise remain unknown.

These district stakes are annually increasing in value.
They have now reached that point where they offer an in.
duoement and make it an object for others than breeders,
with whom the Btake is generally a secondary consideration,
to desire to win them. The others whom we refer to are gen-
erally drivers and horse speculators — men who care nothing
whatsoever for the breeding interests of the district, and
whose only purpose is to win back a colt's purchase money in
his first race, and to sell him at a profit. They may occa-
sionally start a stallion or a mire; but as a gelding is, as a
rule, a cheaper investment and a more "sure-monied" article
to bet on in colthood, there is every probability that the ma-
ority of entries from this class of turf patrons will have no
ability to "breed on," whatsoever their individual merit. If
these geldings had beea bred in the district, the point herein
made would, of course, fall to the ground; but, as long as
district stake3 are open to colts, wheresoever bred, we think it
timely to call attention now to what may hereafter prove as
great a hindrance to the development of colts by small
breeders as in the present "bugaboo" about the superior ad-
vantages of the larger breeding establishments.

In examination of the conditions of these district status
it will be found that the only restriction placed upon the
entry thereto is that the colts shall have been owned in the
district a specified number of months before they are trotted;
not a word is s%id as to where or by whom they are bred.

Under this limitation, as soon as one of these speculators
has estimated the worth of the stakes offered by the various
fairs in his district, he may go outside of his district, buy
the best developed colt he can lay his hands on and enter
him in the district stakes; whilst the man who bred and
developed the colt, who would probably have entered him
and several others, and have made the stake and the race so
much more attractive, is debarred the privilege of competing
at all, merely because he does not reside within the district
limits. In short, then, oar district (?) stakes are open to all
colts, ivheresoever bred, provided the ownership lies in a
resident of the district.

We cannot Bee that this limitation does away with the
"bugaboo" already alluded to.

The purpose aimed at is not achieved; an injustice is done
to the enterprise of the bona fide district breeder who imports
valuable and costly sires and dams to the district; to the
neighbors (generally small farmers), who patronize these
stallions by stinting their mares to them and to those search-
ers after good blood lines, who mBy send their mares to be
covered by stallions outside of the district limitB.

These men who are spending their money freely and using
their intelligent labor to improve the breed and value of the
districr horse; who are endeavoring by the development of
their homebred colts to prove that their enterprise has borne
good froit; who, in short, are district benefactors, inasmuch
as they attract a class of customers thereto that would not
otherwise have come, may at any time, under present restric-
tions, have their plans, their hopes, and their aspirations
frustrated; the cup of bliss which they had toiled and striven
for years to win, is dashed to the ground at the very moment
it was to be quaffed. By whom and by what? By a turf
speculator whose keen and watchful eye has carefully noted
every step the breeders' colts have taken; whose cupidity
sends him at the lust moment in search of a gelding bred and
developed outside of the dhtrict aud that he knows for a cer-
tainty has "the foot" of the district bred coltB.

We do not say that this has happened; nor would we ven-
ture the assertion that it has not. It 1b morally certain how-
ever, that it will occor, and the surest method to prevent it
is to take such steps aa will protect the district and small
breeders generally from any such discouraging and disgnstiug
experience.

*iive a small breeder a chance to prove that he can win a
district stake or two and you will soon find him competing
i'l the 'open to all' stakes. Abreeder has pride in, and he

ants reputation for his Btook;— hence, with bat limited en.

^uragement in the district Held, he will soon be fonnd as-
I ring to conquests in a 'free-for-all' light.

The turf speculator is not that kind of a bird; he wants

coin and he wants it at aa small a risk as possible. The dis-
trict offers less competition or at least calls for a lower rate
of speed and he will therefore give that his preference.
Whether he lives in the district or out of it, makeB no differ-
ence; there are plenty of driver 'pals' who will accommodate
him by owning his horse for a few months.

Therefore, we suggest that the avenues now open to the
turf speculator be more closely guarded, thereby to protect
and encourage the district breeder, Dou't shut out a colt
Bired by a district stallion, merely because that colt is owned
outside of the district. Its success is an advertisement of
and a benefit to the district. Others will be encouraged
thereby, to come and breed to its sire. Hundreds of small
breeders reside in San Francisco; they own no farms; their
district gives no colt stakes and when they breed to your
stallions, you shut their colts out simply because the owner*
don't live in your district. Is this good policy?

Restrict your district stakes as follows:

1st. To the produce (wheresoever owned) of stallions
owned and standing in the district.

2d. To the produce of mares owned in the district, what-
soever stallion they may have been bred to.

Some breeders will undoubtedly cavil at having their
"imported" stallions and mares shut out of the district stakes,
but this temporary inconvenience will be more than offset by
the increased advantages given to their produce. Besides, if
a breeder is purchasing stallions elsewhere to improve dis-
trict stock, he should be careful to buy the beBfc, and the best
should be fit to start in the open to all stakes. Folio.

Los Angeles Turf Items.

Los Angeles County will be well represented at most of the
leading California Fairs this year, and there is considerable
activity in the trotting world iast at present. Charlie
Darfee will be out with Gossiper and Don Tomas. The
Simmons stallion has developed very much since last season
and is now one of the handsomest and most symmetrical
trotters that I have ever seen. He has not yet been sent a fast
mile, but was drivcu a quarter several days ago in 32i se-
conds. He will have to be a phenomenal horse, however, to
get away with some of the crack four-year-olds that will be
seen on the circuit this year. It is also expeoted that Don
Tomas will clip two or three seconds off his record. This
horse iB owned by Major Hazard.

George Baylis will have in his string Atto Rex, Belle B ,
Glendine and Raynion. Atto Rex is the sensational stallion
that all San Diego pronounce to be the coming world beater,
He is by Attorney, wbo is by Harold, the sire of Maud S.
Glendine is owned by Dr. K. D. Wise and is a very promising
animal. Baylis expects to open the season at Napa.

At Kosemeade some half a score of trottera are being
trained, bat not more than tive will be taken on the circuit.
The star of the aggregation is Alcazar, and Senator Rose has
great expectations from the son of Saltan— Minnehaha.
Alcazar as a three-year-old showed 2:23, and will be a danger-
ous competitor in any company, provided his leg does not go
back on him, his work so far has been very gratifying to
his trainer Walter Mabeu. Dubec is also phowing up well,
and has already beaten 2:20 in a trial. Reverie, a two-year-
old by Alcazar, out of Lady Day, has showu 2:30. She is a
beautifully gaited bay rilly with black points. A sensatioual
yonngBter that will be aljng is an Alcazar yearling out of a
mare by Arthurton. She is a bay tilly of splendid conforma-
tion and cau trot a quarter in 37 seconds any day in the
week. Another Alcazar yearling out of Lady Maokay is also
to be taken north. A five-year-old Saltan nicknamed Jauibo
is also being worked, but it iB not yet decided whether be
will make the circuit. He is sixteen hands high aud weipbs
anywhere between eleven and twelve hundred pounds.
Jumbo has shown better than 2:22 already, and Walter
Mabeu has great confidence in the big animal. TheStamboul

yearlings, one out of Dido and the other out of Eva, are
being exercised, but they are not to be campaigned.

Dane Bridges will be on deck with John Treat and a
Hock Hocking filly, the property of L. J. Rose.

Harry Rose will have for his representatives Daniel M.
Murphy and Rosemeade, better known as the Wild Idle
Dutchess fiily. Dane Sheehan is training these horses,
and it is expected that they will set the ball rolling at the
lone meeting.

Peter Dornalech will have Dell and Naieho B. Dell's leg
is now all right.

George Vignol will probably be along with What Ho and
Sunrise.

Mr. Bexby, of Cerritos, has several trotters at the new
Seabright track near Long Beach. He is tha owner of the
stallion Sbadeland Hero by Sattelite, by Robert Bonnor by
Rysdyks Hftmhletonian

There are (47) Sucklings at Rosemeade, (23) by Stamboul,
(21) by Alcazar and (3) by Harvester.

The programme for the fair of the Sixth District Agricul-
tural Association is out and will no doubt be advertised in the
Breeder and Spotsman.

Ed Smith i3 a great admirer of the Breeder and Sports-
man. He is one of the beBt posted horsemen in Southern
California. Mr. Smith also owns some good trotting stock.

The Standard.

The following sensible letter was written by J. B. Jackson
of Pleasant Prairie, Wis., for the Horseman, and will amply
repay perusal:

I have noticed in certain quarters a lively fusilade against
the standard adopted by the National Association of Trot-
ting-Horse Breeders. One must infer from the vigorous
fulminations of the protestants that the rules of standard
rank had laid their stock hors- de-combat, I have failed to
see in the logic of the opposition anything except that all
horses are good, some are better, and the non-standard
animal is the superlative horse.

It is impossible to formulate a set of rules that will be
absolutely perfect in all their details, or to establish a stand-
ard that is above criticism. That the present rules are
imperfect at many points is admitted by the friends of the
standard, and there is no doubt but what they will in the
near future be revised in the interests of progressive breed-
ing. But in all the controversy of the opposition we have
failed to see any improvements suggested, and the only
desideratum by them devoutly wished is to annihilate the
standard. All criticism of an existing rule that does not,
suggest a substitute shows shallowness and insincerity in
the critics, and if the present standard is to be annulled
what new system is to take its place? Is the progress of
twenty years' improvement in breeding trotters to be ruth-
lessly abandoned, and the whole science of the standard to
be remanded to darkness and chaos? Fortunately for the
trotting-horse interests, the standard is indorsed by the
largest breeding establishments in the country, whose pro-
prietors rank among the most astute and intelligent students
of the breeding problem. This fact in itself lends plausabjl-
ity to the assumption that if the rules defining what consti-
tutes a trotting-bred horse ai*e not altogether perfect, they
are at least so near the truth that the opposition fail to
suggest improvement.

The advantages of the standard are seen in the discrimina-
tion it makes and the value it gives to lines of breeding that
not only perform but al^o breed on. Destroy this feature of
the standard and its value as an educator is gone. Divest
it of the elemeet and all opposition ceases. For without
this distinction all horses are reduced to an equality and
will be valued according to their individuality.

The breeding interest has assumed such magnitude that
standard registration becomes imperative to protect the
public from fraud and to preserve and give prominence to
lines of breeding of intrinsic merit. If it were not for stand-
ard registration, to preserve the age, breeding and identity of
horses', bow many bogus Electioneers, George Wilkes,
Nutwood, Lord Russells and Dictators would be advertised
for service all over the country? If it accomplished no other
good, the standard is worth all it costs in the protection it
affords breeders against frauds and impositions. I do not
know a single writer against the standard that now owns or
even bred ahorse that made himself standard by performance,
while the patrons of the standard comprise the most sac-
oessful breeders In fact, the oldest and largest breeding
establishments are its*warmest friends.

The standard is an educator by defining the characteris-
tics that constitute a trotting-horse. It is based on the
merits of performance and transmission of speed. It
could be improved in the interest of progressive breeding by
restricting standard rank to immediate progeny as well as
immediate ancestors. At least if this were enforced in the
male line, it would weed out the mountains of rubbish that
are now overwhelming the register with standard horses that
can neither perform nor produce performers.

A lusus naiura?, a horse out side of the lines or breeding,
comes out and makes a 2:30 performance, and not only
makes himself standard but also his dam and all the pro-
geny out of her by a standard horse But if this sport
should trot in 2:00 it would not effect the standard rank of
his ancestors in the second generaiion and therefore why
should his performance carry forward any farther then it
reaches back? His performance reaches back only to immed-
iate ancestors, and why should his rank go forward further
than immediate progeny? If the standard is founded on
the merit of a 2:30 performance or the ability to produce a
2:30 performer, why should it be burdened with a mass ci
trash that can neither perform nor produce trotters ? A vol-
umu of the register every year will soon make it a burden to
breeders and an expense not justified by the quality of two-
thirds of the animals registered. ,Nearlv every animal re-
gistered s'andard comes into the select circle by inheritance
through the illustrious deeds of royal sires or queenly dams
and now lot these horses that become standard by vicarious
heredity prove the potency of their birthright by perfor-
mance or by breeding on before the progency is admitted to
registration. The standard ought to be based on the merit
of immediate Ancestry, individual performance and for the
ability of immediate progeny to perform'.

There is nothing grander than success. There is nothing
greater than true merit. They silence all argument. They
demonstrate truth beyond all cavil or doubt. And the
standard is designed to represent the highest principles in
the science of breeding, the laws by which the greatest suc-
cess has been achieved. If each breeder will insist on good
individuality and standard will contain the greatest number
of [mints of success of any rales ever formulated to govern
the production of trotters. Let the standard survive on the
qualities of immediate ancestors, personal merit or the per*

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphippus.

A Hairs in the athletic world were quiet during the past
week. The wrestling tournament at the Olympic Club
rooms was the only event of importance that took place.
Owing to the rough state of the weather bay fishing on
Sunday last was very poor, and many anglers had to return
home with empty baskets.

RO"X>~ERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

Sexsmith is practicing hard with the intention of lowering
the Pacific Coast record for the pole vault at the games of
the California Amateur Athletic Club next month.

William Zehfus, the pedestrian, announces his intention
of appearing on the track again this season. He will prob-
ably oppose C. M. Yates at the champion meetiug of the C.
A. A. C. The men are evenly matched, and should finish
close together.

The question is, will Coffin and Galney receive a start
from Jarvis at the next out-door meeting?

Ooe of the athletic clubs should hold an in-door meeting
at the Mechanics' Pavilion during the coming winter. In
the past those in-door tonrnalnents have always been well
patronized, and now that there is such a great interest
taken in athletics, there is every reason to believe that an
evening handicap meeting at the Pavilion would be hailed
with delight, not only by the athletes themselves, but by
the general public.

It i>i nigh time that the O. A. C. was issuing its programme
of games for September 9th.

Dave Egan of the C. A. A. C. has declared his intention of
giving np "cigarettes" in the near future. He vows that he
will train hard fur the games next month, and if all goes well
he expects to do the "hundred" in less than 10:1$.

Purcell will probably not compete in the Admission Day
games, as his business will not allow him to train, and some
training is necessary in order to overcome severe handicaps.

Should the track at the new grounds of the 0. A. C. bd in
good order on September 9th, several records will undoubt-
edly be broken.

The O. A. C. should include a Bteeplechase, a running
Lop, step and jump, and an obstruction race on their pro-
gramme for Admission Day.

The habit of making changes in programmes at athletic
meetings should he done away with.

IN THE SCRF.

At the quarterly meetiDg of the Terrace Swimming Club,
held last Sunday, the following officers were elected to serve
for the ensuing term. President, George Dall; vice-President,
Joe Greeobaum; Secretary, William Hunt; Treasurer, George
W. Spiller; Captain, John H. Vollmer.

The graceful a d daring evolutions of the famous Olympian,
George A. Dall, loctte much admiration at the Terrace Swim-
ming Baths. This genial athlete is an aquatic wonder, and
his imitation of the porpoise is inimitable.

The critics of Monterey are unanimous in their opin-
ion that Misses Birdie Fair and Alice Rutherford are the two
most graceful swimmers at that famous resort.

Jack Vollmer, uf the Terrace Swimming CJub, is an excel-
lent high and long diver. On several occasions Mr. Yollmer
has remained under water for more than a minute.

Peter J. Fay, the well-known amateur swimmer, ia train-
ing at the Shelter Cove Baths, and the chances are that he
will accept Pinkham's challenge to swim a one hundred yard
match race.

The proprietors of the Harbor View Baths should anchor a
raft a couple of hundred yards out from the shore in order
to afford long distance swimmers a chance to rtst themselves,
the tides in that neighborhood being so strong and uncertain
that a bather is liable to get exhausted at any moment, and
with no raft at hand his chances of escape from drowning
would be very small.

The operation of changing the water in the Crystal Swim-
ming Baths, which is done every day, is worth an hour's
study. It comes clear and bright from far out in the clean
tide from the sea, and is warmed as it enters.

THE WHEELMEN.

SiDce Elwell married he has been unable to find time to
train and in ail probability he will never appear on the track
again.

Fred Cook has grown exceedingly "fat" of late and says
that there is too much trouble attached to reduciLg. He has
also joined the retired band.

Henry Lichtenstein is practicing hard for the O. A. C.
games and hopes to be able to win a medal.

A bicycle tournament will be held at the Haight Street
Grouuds in the fall.

The wheelmen are grumbling becanse the track at the new
training grounds of the O. A. C. will only be six laps to the
mile. A bicycle track sbould be at lease a quarter of a mile
in circumference. On a small track it is impossible to make
fast time, and there is much daDger attached to the Bharp
turns.

H. A. Mathews is one of the best long distance riders in
California, and c*n make it pietty lively for any of the
"Boys" up a steep hill.

AT THE OARS.

The Station B Post-Office Crew has resumed practice.

Quite a number of amateur crews were out last Sunday,
and several impromptu races took place.

T Litre is some talk of organizing a rowing club at the North
Beach. Suoh a club is needed there, and if organized would
no doubt meet with success.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

Cress Danger, sportsman, athlete, musician and general
genius, has returned to the place in the Custom House which
he filled for many years so acceptably.

To-day a party of athletes leaves for a summer outing,
which embraces a lot of champions. Headed by Ed A. Kolb,
with Ed. RyaD as adjutant, DeWitt C. Davis as sutler, Prof.
George] Miehling of the Olympic Club as cook, and Prof. Joe
Acton of the California Athletic Club as cook's helper, the
party will make it sultry for anybody who thinks he can
down the world in wrestliDg. Martin's place ten miles from
Cazadero, on the headwaters of the Qualala, is the objective
point, where deer, trout and bear abound. Prof. Miehling
desires to try Samson's feat, killing a bear by turning him
inside out with a "tail holt" taken via the throat. The
chances are the bear will be Miehling on the Professor before
the bout is finished.

Professor Acton is said to be a lovely cook's helper — he
can boil potatoes without any oversight. Whether Ed.

Kolb will be accompanied by his sou or not cannot be learned.

Secretary J. J. Jamison, of the Golden Gale Athletic Club,
states that his club has no intention of applying for member-
ship to the California Amateur Athletic Association. The G.
G. A. C. is one of the associate clubs of the Pacific Coast
Amateur Athletic Association, and at the next out-door handi-
cap meeting of 'the Oi>mpic Athleiic Club a strong team of
the Golden Gate Athletes will struggle for supremacy against
the teams of the other associate clubs.

The fiist "member's" out-door meeting of the C. A. A. C.
will be held at the new training grounds at Harbor Yiew
some time next month. All the events will be handicap, and
valuable medals will be awarded the different winners.

The Pacific Athletic Club will apply for admission to the
P. C. A. A. A. in the near future. This is encouraging to
the association, and its next championship meeting will no
doubt be a monster affair.

The following circular has just been issued bv the Direc-
tors of the G. G. A. C:

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Golden Gate
Athletic Club, held June 25, 1S89, a committee wps appointed
for the purpose of improving the annex to the Club, wherebv
young men (for a reduced initiation fee and dues), would be
entitled to the use of the Club apparatus, etc. — in fact, have
all the privileges of regular members, except that of witness,
ing the monthly contests.

At the regular meeting on July 9th the committee presented
the following report, which was unanimously adopted;

The development of man's physical powers has always
been his study, in ancient as well as in modern times. In
truth, the higher man's civilization the more earnest his
search for the best means of developing his powers to the
highest point of perfection in endurance and strength. In
our codeges of learning the cultivation of the phvsical powers
is an indispensable as that of the mental powers. Exercise
is deemed as essential to the mind as study.

Athletic clubs abound all over the land, where men, young
and old, amateur and professional, may enjoy the exercise
and training the body is ambitious for. Some run, some
ride, some wrestle, but the hobby of the times seems to run
to boxing — and numerous clubs are organized to encourage
and protect this sport, and such prominence is given to it
that the impression someMmea erroneously goes out that it is
the Bole purpose of a club's existence.

We, however, desire to say to the world that while we keep
abreast of the times in boxing matters, we do not lose sight
of the necessity of general physical exercise and develop-
ment. Among our young men especially do we seek to en-
courage the love of exercise. Our club is open, our appli-
ances and instructors at hand, and our ambitious amateurs
have abundant opportunity for attaining the highest profici-
ency in all athletic sporta. That they have availed them-
selves of these opportunities is evidenced by their success in
the recent tournament.

To encourage the development of amateur talent, we have
an annex to the Golden G«te Club for symmetrically and
healthfully developing the physical powers of voung men.
The admission to such annex is $1.50 Initiation Fee, and the
dues are $1.00 per month, which entitles the members to all
the advantages and privileges oi the club, except that of wit*
nessing exhibitions not held under their own auspices.

J. A. Stun bach, President.

J. J. Jamison, Secretary.

OLYMPIC WRESTLING TOURNAMENT.

On Thursday evening last at the Olympic Club an amateur
wrestling tournament in catch-as-catch-can style was begun.
The referee was Mr. W. B. Short, 0. C. Judges, Major J.
\V. Tompkins, Reliance Club, and J. B. Tibbatts, O. C.
Timers, James Jeris and S. Y. Casabv, The first pair, in
feather weights, were Mr. Eugene S. Yan -Court, 0. A C,
112 pounds, and F. A. Grimm, 0. A. C, 125 poands. The
men went to work at S:22, both being in fair condition,
Short rather the bett«r. Grimm was the stronger, and Short
the quicker and most experienced. Most of the work was
done by Short, he being on top all the time. After ten min-
utes Yan Court took the bout with a neck lock and a roll.
If Grimm had taken more chances he would have done bet-
ter. The second pair in feather weights were C. E. Wilson,
O. A. C, Javenile, 125 pounds, and R. C. Jones, O. A. C,
125 pounds. Both stripped well, and went to work in lively
fashion, Wilson constantly inquiring, "How's that? wnenever
in tumbling about his opponent's shoulders were brought
within 8ix inches of the mat. The men wrestled twenty
minutes without fall, and, according to rale, the wrestlers
were given three minutes' rest. Resuming after a rub-
down, they went to work vigorously, but were so evenly
matched that neither could secure an advantage. After ten
minutes, neither having gained a fall, the rule stopped them,
but as neither had done decisive work, judgment was sus-
pended and the men ordered to remain in readiness to
resume.

While the light weights were getting ready Vice-President
Hammond stated that the tournament was for the champion-
ship of the West at the various weights, and the judges con-
sequently desired to give each contestant the fullest oppor-
tunity to display his skill. About the out-door exercising
ground scheme Mr. Hammond said that after appointing a
committee to select ground the great expense rather deterred
the directors. There was a feeling of lukewarmness on the
part of certain members who cared for nothing but in-door
life. However, a block of land had been leased and arrange-
ments made to expend at least two thousand dollars iu erect-
ing a house, track, etc. The ground was nowr being fenced
and cleared. The committee expected to receive a fair amount
from the market-stieet Cable Company. The ground selected
was block 605, bounded by Sth and 9th avenues and H street
and is two or three blocks from the Haight s.reet line.

The first pair of light weights were J. F. O'Conner G. G.
A. C, 135£ lbs., and L. Greenbaum O. A. C, 128 lbs. Both
were on the defensive from the handshake. In eight minutes
after O'Conner bad been on topmost of the time, Greenbaum
got on top and soon put a hammer lock on O'Conner and
won the fall. Second drawing light weights were W. P.
Henry O. A. C, 130 lbs., and R. Y. Cole O. A. C, 139 lbs.
Both were keen, but Cole was too clever, and won the fall
with a half Nelson and Crotch lock in fifty seconds.

Messrs. Jones aDd Wilson, of the feather weights, were
then brought on to finish their unsettled bout. They were
as lively as at first, but too evenly matched to do more than
give a pretty exhibition of their style. The time was wrestled
out and decision suspended.

The middle-weights, E A. Kolb O. A. C, 152 lbs , and P.
P. Bernhard O. A. C, 136 lbs., then took the carpet, Kolb
immediately going to the mat, and Bernhard putting in a
good deal of ineffective work on him. Kolb Boon showed
superior skill, however, and in 9 minutes and 19 seconds
rolled his muscular opponent flat upon his shoulders and
won Ihe bout.

Fred F. Caire O. A. G. 163j lbs. and R. Y. Cole 139J lbs.
went into their bout as though they enjoyed it. Cole showed

more knowledge of the game and although only a juvenile,
he won the bout in 1 minute and 33 seconds/with an arm
roll.

Jones and Wilson again were called out and wrestled ten
minutes and were then given three minutes rest when they
pitched in again. Wilson immediately protesting that Jones
had put something improper on his hair. The referee ex-
amined the head but found tbat it had merely been rubbed
with alcohol in which a little oil of sassafras had been dis-
solved. Judge Tibbatts remarking "sassafras is very lccky,
a regular Mascot." Another teu minutes and a rest, and then
on resuming, in 5 minutes and Sseeonds. Mr. Jones won a
fair fall and the bout.

Messrs. R. Y. Cole, O. A. C. 139| pounds, and P. P,
Bernhard, O. A. C, 133|, then took the floor as light weights
both being entered also in the middle weight class. Both
were good, Cole seeming the better, but Bernhard took the
fall in five minutes, 5i seconds.

The two light weights Greenbaum and Jones then took
the mat, Greenbaum winning in 2 m, 24 sec.

The bout closed the evenings sport, which was resumed
last evening too late for our present issue.

Horse-

Did yon ever experience the sensation of lying in bed with
1mperative orders from the doctor that you must not move
out of it? Well, that has been my experience for the better
half of a week since last the Bbeeder and Sportsman ap-
peared, and, consequently, the pencil has not performed its
usual amount of work this week. While weary of waiting
to get up, and almost worn out from the effects of idleness, the
idea occurred to write, and thus relieve the monotony. But
what about? — that was the question. It is horse from one
week's end to another, and it might just as well be horse
now.

Webster gives the definition of horse as "a hoofed quad-
ruped used for draught or the saddle." Bat that is not what
I am after now, it ia the etymon of the word I desire to get at-
And how the time did pass, hunting up old books, and read-
ing excerpts from old authors that lived so many years ago,
that in the present day they are almost forgotten, and what a
fund of information can be gained from these old writers.
They had no Maud S., nor yet a Tenbroeck by which to
guage of the speed of a horse, and yet in the very earliest
days we find the primitive meaning of "horse" to be "the
rapid animal." One would naturally suppose that horse
back riding had been known from time immemorial, but
such is not the case, for the earliest records fail to sho^ that
the Greeks knew anything of equestrianism, in the year 650
B. C. We find further on that riding and cavalry service
was known during the Grecian Supremacy, probably about
the year 450 B. C. In the first days of the Roman Republic,
great attention was paid to the cavalry, and it was the most
important branch of the service. The ancient Britons used
horses for their war chariots, when assailed by the Romans,
but at that day, they knew nothing whatever of the great
uses to which their equines might be pat for war purposes.
As ages advanced the horses became better known, and we
find that Athelstan had an enactment passed to prevent the
exportation of horses, and imported running horses from
Germany, and also high class horses from Spain, to improve
the nation's breed. From the days of King Edward III, of
England, the thoroughbred began to have a standing, and
from the great care taken in breeding, racing was established,
to determine which cross was the best to produce speed.

But here we are meaaderiBg away from the primitive word
which we started out to find, and for a beginning we will
have to go to the Aryan languages in which it is extremely
interesting to note that the word is nearly Bimilar in all of
them. Taking the first, the Sanscrit, the word used is Acva;
in the Zenc% Acpa answers to the same, while in the Persian
it is Asp; in Latin it is Equus; the Greeks called the noble
animal Hippos, derived from a primitive form which was
only preserved by the iEolians; on appealing to the Geelic,
there is to be found the old fashioned Epos; the Goths had a
fitting word in Aihvus, and in the old High German the
word in common use was Ehu.

All the other nations which are of preclassical date, or even
classical for that matter, have had no proper word of their
own, but in nearly every instance a word has bsen borrowed
from the Aryan forms. Of the more modern nations, the
following words are used: German, pferd; Holland, paard;
French, cheval; Spanish, caballo; Russian, loschad; Turkish,
sukh; Arabic, hozan; Danish, hest.

In England, shortly before the Norman conquest, a horse
was rated at being worth thirty shillings, while a mare was
supposed to be worth twenty shillings. It must be born in
mind, however, that money was worth fifteen times moie
than it is at present. The first race course of which there is
any mention made in old English works, was laid ont on the
site of the present Smithrield markrt in London. Fitz
Steven, who lived at that period, gives the following account
of how the contests were conducted:

"When a race is to be run by horses which in their kind
are strong and fleet, a shout is raised, and common horses
are ordered to withdraw from out the way. Two jockeys
then, or sometimes three, as the match may he made, prepare
themselves for the contest, such as are used to ride, and
know how to manage their horses with judgment, the grand
point being to prevent a competitor from getting before them.
The horse-, on their part, are not without emulation. They
tremble and are impatient and continually in motion. At
last, the signal once given, they hurry aloDg with unremit-
ting velocity; the jockeys, inspired with the thoughts of
applause and the hopes of victory, clapping spurs to their
willing steeds, brandishing their whips and cheering them
with their cries." It would Dot seem that jockejing bad
changed much iu the last 600 years, except that some of th
riders try to see how Ojauy horses can reach the wire
they do.

But here is the doctor to examine the totgae and
pulse, and "horse" must be dropped for the time beii

Memoirs of Lexineton-

Continued.

These proposals were never accepted, and the discussion
led to the Great Stale Stakes, which we will procoed to give,
as given by the New Orleans Picayune:

'•Rarely has a lovelier spring day opened on more brilliant
hopes and expectations than that which yesterday dawned
npon the thousands who, to a greater or less degree, were
rushing forward to the great event of the day with the most
pleasureable expectations. The race! the great struggle of
States for superiority in that contest which had for months
enlisted so much feeling, so much State pride, so much indi-
vidual competition, had been the ruling idea in all circles,
and scarcely any other topic had been discussed or thought
of. Myriad's of "strangers, as the wonderful day approached,
had thronged our city, and almost nothing else was talked of
'but the probable or possible result of this great sporting
affair. Opinions of every kind and shade were freely ex-
pressed. Each one of the gallant States that bad so chival-
rously come iuto the arrangemaot had its hosts of representa-
tives on the ground, and each indulged in earnest and elo-
quent eulogies upon his favorite. Banters were uffered, bets
were made, speculations were indulged in, predictions were
ventured, hopes and fears were expressed, and the town
topic that lasted up to the very moment when the tap of the
drum gave signal for the start. Even then the ladies caught
the infections excitement, and made up their pretty purses.
The fair Mobelians were strong on Highlander, and the Ken-
tucky beiles wondered how any reasonable person could
donbt that Lexington would assnreoly win. Mississippi
relied confidently on Lecomte, without making much ado;
while Louisiana" deported herself modestly, and hoped her
Arrow would go straight to the mark. The contest had been
worth provoking, had it been alone for the pleasure arising
from the sparkling of so many joyous laughs as sprung from
its discussion.

"The day was fair, bright, clear and mild; the sky was all
blue, the air all balm, the earth all beautiful. A lovlier day
was never born of spring — litter to be the first of spring's
fairest months. The warmest expectations that could have
been formed of what the coming 'day would bring forth,'
must have been more thin doubled by the first glimpse at
the morn that broke upon their waking vision. It was a day
formed by the hand uf Nature expressly for pleasure, and
there seemed no room for so much as the possibility of dis-
appointment. From an early hour al! the roads, avenues
an.i means of approach, by every possible kind of convey-
ance, were put in requisition. The city was comparatively
deserted. Business seemed (we, who were not among the
couldn't-get-aways, were told) to be suspended; everybody
who was anybody, or warned to be deemed anybody, had
gone to the race. Dinner hours were postponed, engagements
were forgotten, and should not at all wonder if bank notifi-
cations, in sjine instances, slipped some memories. The
race for everybody, and everybody for the race."

The variety of " the modes adopted, by which to reach the
course, was a source of no little amusement to the curious
lookers-on. The luxurious private carriage, taking its leisure
and rolling on with confident security of being in time with-
out harrying, and as it turned out for a dashing pair of
bloods, regarding its rivals with a bland, feslina le?ite kind of
compassion; the coach, the cab, the cart, the carriage of
every sore, with one horse or four, and some even with the
humble animal that the prophet Balaam was not ashamed to
ride, made up a variety that was, in its way, far from unex-
citing. And then the plodders on foot, or en cheval (whose
name is legion), and the many passengers on cars (whose
names were many legions) all helped to (swell the great stream
of iife, whose ocean was the race course. Such a moving
panomma has never before been exhibited in these parts.

On entering the enclosure we were struck with the excel-
lence of the arrangements that had been made by the pro-
prietor for admission of the proper persons at the proper
places. There was no unnecessary jostling or crowding to
the inconvenience of those who came in good time, and who
had provided themselves with the means of ingress, an-
nounced as necessary by the management. The next thing
we saw that gratified ns especially was the evident disposi-
tion of the occupants of all parts of the course appropriated
to spectators to regard the regulations promulgatt-d by the
proprietor. And this remark will fairly apply to the entire
day.

The liberal attendance of ladies was a delightfal feature of
the day. There were brilliant representatives of the beauty
and taste of our fair Slate and ninny of her 6ister States.
There were besides Louisiana belles and beauties, belles and
beauties from Alabama, Mississippi and Kentucky, who took
a most praiseworthy interest in the incidents of the occasion.
The presence of ladies has always a benign influence, but
we have never seen it more pleasantly executed than in this
instance.

1 here were a great many of our most distinguished citi-
zens from all parts of the Southern country present, includ-
ing governors, judges, mayors and other officials, not to name
all of whom, if any, would seem invidious, and we cannot
remember half of them. Ex-President Fillmore and ex-Sec-
rctaries Kennedy and Conrad attracted and received a great
deal of atteniion, and were politely invited by the judges of
the race to view it from the judges' stand. They seemed to
take much interest in the sport, and in the intervals, in the
society of the distinguished company assembled in the mem-
bers' and ladies' stand.

There must have been fully twenty thousand persons with-
in the enclosure of the Metairie course upon this great and
interesting occasion. Yet we never have seen more perfect
order preserved among a large body of men than that which
prevailed throughout the day. We were not cognizant of a
uingle dereliction of the duty that one man owes to another.
in any single respect; no drunkeness, no dispates, no quar-
rels, no unseemly or boisterous remarks. The incidents and
result of the race we subjoin. But in closing our necessarily
hasty and cursory general remarks, we cannot forbear noting
the fact that Old Kentucky had, and fully avai.ed herself of,
a glorioos opportunity of manifesting her characteristic State
pride npon this occasion. It was inspiring to see the bright
eyes of her daughters sparkling with joy, and to hear their
ringing laughs and exultant shouts, is the champion of their
State was going on "conquerine and to conquer," and add-
ing another to the already many noble trophies that have
be-n gallantly won by Old Keutnck.

And now to incidents of the race:

"The judges' btand was ocenpiod by ex President Fillmore

n'ld several other distinguished stranger-^, besides the judges

the race. The jndges selected by the subscribers ot the

take were as follows: Colonel Wade Hampton was the judge

.i.osen to represent Alabama, Col. -I. J. Hughes for Lonis

Mr. Robert Evanfl for Kentucky; Judge l'n.kney Smith

for Mississippi, and Judge J. G. Cock*, the i'p aident of the
Meluirie Jockey Club, presiding. The betting foi everal

days previous to the race and yesterday morning, in the city,
was brisk and heavy, Highlander being generally the first
favorite and Lexington the second favorite. The field was
frequently backed against Highlander at odds of two to one.
On arriving at the course the crowd for a time appeared to
feel impatient, fearing that they could not have a ohance to
lay out their money. Pocket books new open; and for an
hour the betting was very lively, but not much changed from
what it has been. We heard many bets made as follows:
Even between Highlander and Lexington; $50 to $100 that
Highlander would take the firBt beat. There was of course
a variety of bats concerning many minor points and the par-
ticular placing of the horses. The course was very heavy
from the previous rain, and the strong wind which prevailed
bad so hardened the mud that it was very stiff and unyield-
ing, clinging to the hoof with great tenacity."

First Heat— The horses came promptly up to the stand,
and moved off without difficulty, well together, and passed
around the first turn in the following order: Lexington lead-
ing. Arrow second, Lecomte third, with Highlander trailing.
In this position the first mile was run, all being within a fair
distance of each other. On entering the second mile Lecomte
went up and lapped Lexington for a short distance, but they
all soon resumed their original positions for the remainder of
the second mile and the whole of the third mile, at about the
same rate of speed. On making the first turn of the fourth
mile Arrow began to feel the effects of the heavy mud aDd
slackened his speed, Highlander passing him, taking the
third position and gradually making up the gap between
himself and his two competitors. Lecomte coming home,
pushed for the lead; but Lexington held his course steadily
and won the heat under a strong pull by abcut three lengths,
in 8:08$, distancing Arrow. The Kentuckians, who are a
famous people for shouting, gave a loud cheer for their
favorite and the betting people began lo make new arrange-
ments.

"Second Heat — After much discussing on minor points the
betting appeared to settle down to about two to one on Lex-
ington against the field, Lecomte generally being considered as
the chief reliance of the fielders. Highlander's friends were in
bad spirits, but some of them conteuded that he had not yet
exerted himself, that he ran nearly all the first heat far from
the pole, and they, therefore, took up the odds offered against
him. On starting for the second heat Highlander took the
lead on the first turn, with Lexington second, but all well to-
gether. On the backstretch Lecomte ma^e a brush and took
the lead of the party, entering the second mile in advance,
and Lexington second. In this position they ran the mile.
At the entrance of the third mile Highlander made his first
and only brush; he went np to Lexington and nearly passed
him for a short distance, but Lexington snon shook him off
round the turn, Lecomte leading throughout the mile by
nearly eight lengths. On the first quarter of the fourth mile
Highlander began to exhibit distress, and gave up his stride
near the same spot and in the same manner as Arrow bad
done in the first? heat. Lexington, on the back stretch, now
went to work in earnest, gradually closing np the gap on
Lecomte, both striving hard for the supremacy and the pace
increasing. On the third quarter Lexington locked Lecomte,
and they swung into the homestretch side by side, the excite-
ment running high amongst the anxious thousands and
cheers rending the air. Down they came home, rushing like
a torrent, each at the top of his speed, as if life depended
upon every jump, but the speed of Lexington was superior
and he shot past the judges, amidst cheers of the ladies and
deafening shouts of the men, in 8:04. the last mile being
run in quicker time than any other in the race.

Oar readers who were not present at the rnce would sadly
misjudge the merits of this great contest, did they only make
up their opinion of the severity of the 6traggle by glancing at
the time, which we acknowledge would appear slow if the
track had been in good condition. Under all the circum-
stances of the case, the race was an exceJltnt one; its varying
chances, its uncertain termination up to the last moment,
the severity of the contest, the amount of money at stake,
and the immense number of persons in attendance, will
render it a brilliant event in the racing annals of this
country.

"One of the most pleasant incidents connected with the
recent great State Stake, is the fact that although imm nse
sums of money were won and lost, stilt the losers not only
did nut murmur, bnt took the defeat of their favorite horse
with great mauliuess and good humor. It is a very old
adage that when two men ride the same horse one man must
lide behind. We are also pleased to observe that the win-
ning party have borne themselves with great modesty, avoid-
ing any attempt at exultation, as it *oul i certainly be in bad
taste to win a man's money aud laugh at him afterwards. A
portion of th- winners on SatnrcUy dropped on the race of
Snnilay ;i traction of their quickly acquired gains, and thereby
relieved their wallets with any plethora which good luck or
judgment might have brought them. Daring the present and
next racing week, those gentlemen who at the present
moment were a "little behind the lighthouse" in their finao-
oitl urrat g men! in relation to betting, will have many good

opportunities to recuperate and "break even." Heavy bet-
ting is usually confined to a clsss of persons who can well
afford to lose and laugh, for he who would grieve over losses
Bhould never tempt fortune for the gratification of winniDg."
"Another very gratifying incident, in respect to the late
sporting event, was the extreme good order which prevailed,
the freedom from drunkenness, diapnte or brawls, and the
happy exemption from all accidents. Many persons have
always associated the race course in their minds with some-
thing horribly demoralizing. That, like the tneatre, or any
other amusement, it may be made so, when badly managed
by improper persons, aud not countenanced by the presence
of the better class of both ladies and gentlemen, we admit;
but who that attended the great race on Satur lay last ever
saw 20,000 people assembled on any occasion or for uny pur-
pose, where greater decorum of language, conduct and good
feeling prevailed? It is sometimes apparently the delight of
persons at a distance, and unacquainted wilh our habits, to
decry the good name of our city, but on this occasion we take
pleasure in saying that the many distinguished visitors from
all parts of the country who were witnesses and participants
in our manly and exciting sports, will bear willing testimony
to the high tone of gentlemanly manner and conduct which
prevailed, no less than lo the agreeable vivacity and loveli-
ness there assembled. The whole affair has gritib'ed the
reasonable expectations of its projectors and supporters, haB
brought many visitors to our city, been of benefit to the busi-
ness of our people, cemented old friendships aB well as
formed new acquaintances, made our city more pay and
delightfully attractive, and afforded to all classes an honorable,
manly and exbilaratlsg sport."

Horses at New Orleans dated their ages from the 1st of
May, consequently Lecomte and Lexington were foar, but
ran as three-year-olds.

The following description of the race is taken from the
New Orleans Picayune:

"The fashion of this world passeth away," saith the good
boob, and we have a new illustration of it furnished us by
the events of yesterday's race on Metairie Course. Fashion's
7:32* and 7:45 on Lo: g Island in 1S42. and George Martin's
7:33 and 7:42 here in 1S33 — the two best races that have ever
been run — have been signally beaten by the winner of the
day. Where is Eclipse now? exclaimed tfoULg America when
Ftisbion beat Eoston in live seconds less time than was made
by the conqueror of Henry. Where is Fashion now? we. in
our turn demand, as we see her beaten in six seconds and a
half less time than her own. Truly, we live in a progressive
age, and what we are coming to who can tell?

"Daring the wetk past the question has been repeatedly
asked if any of the contestants in the late State Stake race
would run again during the present season. A feverish
excitement pervaded the community in view of such a possi-
ble event, and the conviction was freely exprtssed that if it
were to come off Lexington would be likely to have his well
won laurels cropped, if not lose them entirely. A contest
between Lexington and Lecomte was freely talked of as a
thiog that must be, and when, on Friday evening, it was
announced on the course that an arraugement to that effect
had been made, and that the next day would see its consum-
mation, the news spread electrically, and we found ourselves
again in the midst of an excitement, of course.

"Everything was in favor of the prospect of sport. The
track was in tip-top order, confessedly. Everything seemed
to favor the occasion. From an early hour to a late one all
the roads were filled by traveler-*, availing themselves of
every kind and description of locomotion. Everything, from
a dray to a four-in-hand, was in requisition, and they wno
were "too late for the wagon" walked. Folly ten thousand
people most have been present in the stands and in the
held. The Bight was truly animating. The ladies, as upon
the former great occasion, made a great show upon the stands
appropriated to them by the gallantry of the Club, and added
no little to the day. BettiDg, which was by no means slow
in any part of the course, ran amusingly high in this depart-
ment of it, and we saw many anti Lecomte bets most cheer-
fully and smilingly paid by laoghing losers, while many
musical reminders that Lexington had lost suggested to as
many overtaken gentlemen tkt»t place anx dames should be
their motto in settling their boobs. We grieve to say that
Lexington, by the bye, proved to be the favorite, to a great
extent, among the ladies, who, we will do them the credit to
say, paid ud with most commendable promptness, bo far as
they could do so on the field. Of the gloves and handker-
chiefs, and other petty trifles, which they wagered, we, of
course, cannot speak with equal confidence. The race, of
which we give below a detailed account, was indeed an excit-
ing one. SiDce the races we have alluded to as hitherto
among the greatest that have been run, there has been noth-
ing like it; and in all its incidents, from the start to the
victory, it will always be remembered as preeminently the
greatest four-mile race on record.

"The betting was extremely heavy; still, it was leES than
on the last week's race, as there were not so many strangers
in town, and inouey had not been Bent here from abroad to
be invested on the side of any favorite. Before leaving the
city, Lexington was the favorite at even money against the
field, but a few minutes before the race we witnessed some
transactions in which Lexington was backed at J 00 to 60
against t ie field or 100 to 80 against Lecomte. Much money
was risked on time, but the lowest time that we conld hear
of being marked was 7:32.

'•So far as we could judge, the horses all appeared to be in
excellent condition and "eager for the fray," as they moved
to and fro before stauds, to the admiration of the anxious
thousands. The drum taps and the horses dash off with a
rush for the first heat, an i on passing the first turn Lecomte
led, Lexington being second and Reube trailing behind, but
at as fast a gait, and as b'lla stride as he could well accom-
plish. Their positions did not vary for nearly three mdep,
although the pace iuc^a-ed; the space between the horses
at times increasing aud. diminishing, Lexington several tiroes
making a brash to take the lead, but Lecomtv iucreahing his
epeed to prevent it. On entering the fourth niile. aud cm
the back htretch of it, Lexington partially closed up the gap
that Lecomte had opened on him, and a;tenipted to ootfoot
him. The attempt was immense, and elicited the loudest

eDcomiums of Lexington's friends and backers; but it was
ineffectual. The Bpnr was freely used to induce him to do
what his friends claimed for him, that he was the fastest
horse in the world at a brush; but Lecomte baffled all his
efforts, kept the lead and won the heat amid deafeuingshouts
by six lengths, in much the quickest time ever made in the
world — 7:26!

"If the result of the heat induced great shouting, the an-
nouncement of the time produced still more clamorous dem-
onstrations of delight. All knew that the heat was very fast,
but eaoh one of the hundred persons who beld watches
could scarcely believe their own time, until the judges an-
nounced it officially.

"During the great excitement which was concentrated on
the two contending horses, Keube had almost been lost sight
of, hut came home at a high rate of speed, making the best
heat by far that he ever made in his life, althougb, as the red
flag descended, he barely escaped being caught behind.

"Lexington, soon after the heat, appeared much distressed
as he had evidently been hard driven nearly the whole way;
but he recovered well during the recess; Keube, also, to ap-
pearances after the heat, showed evident symptoms that he
bad been running a harder race than he liked. Lecomte,
who to all appearance had run much more at his ease, and
with less effort than his competitors, not having been spurred
during the heat was but little distressed considering the great
time and heat of the day.

•'The betting was changed about immediately, not less
from the result of the previous heat than from the great ap-
parent exertion that Lexington had made while running,
and the aspect and condition of the horses after the heat.
JRenbe's cbances were considered hopeless with two such
competitors against him. Most of the bets now made were
for tbe purpose of hedgiug, and Lecomte was rhe favorite at
©100 to S40 against the field. Each horse came up for the
second heat with crest erect, and with a defiant demeanor
cast proud glances from tierce eyes, determined apparently
to win or die. Lexington this time led the way from the
score for nearly two miles by about two lengths, when on
coming down the stretch and passing the stands to enter the
third mile, Lecomte, who had been bottled np, commenced
his great brush, overhauled Lexington and passed him. Both
now did their best, and the third mile was a constant strife
throughout for the lead, and the quickest in the race, being
run in 1:45, but Lecomte, although so hard pushed, never
wavered, but ran evenly and steadily along, about two
lengths ahead. On the first turn of the fourth mile Lexing-
ton, who at that point was nearly up to his rival, for a mo-
ment gave back and lost his stride, but he at once recovered
it and pushed on with vigor, but with evidently great effort.
All was of no use, for Lecomte came home a winner by four
lengths in tbe astonishing time of 7:3S£, distancing Keube.

"The long pent-up feelings of the nearly frenzied thous-
ands, who for some time bad been almost breathless, now
found vent, and all, losers as well as winners, ladies as well
as gentlemen, shouted and applauded the magnificent con-
test, the glorious result and the gallant winner. "We yester-
day wrote and published concerning the race: 'We look to-
day for a race, which for time and a close contest, can be
matched agaiost any ever run.' That prediction has been
more than fulfilled, the race not only matching but far ex-
ceeding any of the fleetest of them in regard to time.

"For more than twenty years the race of Eclipse and
Henry, over the Union Conrse, Long Island, on May 27,
1823, was the quickest on the record. The shortest heat in
that race was 7:37. In Fashion's race with BoBtou, over the
Union Course, Long Island. May 10, 1S42, the time wa*7:32J,
', :45. George Martin's first race was run in thiB city on the
29th of March. 1843, and time was 7:33, 7:43. It is a re-
markable fact, as Lecomte is by Boston, out of Reel, tbat his
sire should have run in the quickest race of Fashion, and
his dam, Keel, should on December 11, 1841. bave won a
race in this city, the time of which was 7:40, 7:4S.

"The subject is fruitful of speculation in regard to time
and blood, that we must rein in our pen to suit onr space,
well satisfied that we have witnessed the best race, in all re-
spects, that was ever run; and that Lecomte stands proudly
before' the world as the best race horse ever produced on the

turf."

the fifth heat and race. Time, 1:10; 1:13; 1:09}; 1:10; 1:11 J,
The five furlong dash was productive of a foul, and tbe
judges decided to run ihe race < ver. The second attempt
resulted in a dead heat between Bingo and Laura D., who
divided first and second money. The seven furlongs was
procuctive of a close race until well into the straight, where
Coloma crowded in between Fandango and Bingo, and in the
crush Biugo was knocked off his legs. M. R., with a clear
course, sailed in in front of Coloma and Fandango.

The Check Rein.

Written for the Breeder and Spobtsmax.

Tbe July meeting of the Washington and Idaho Fair Asso-
ciation was very successful. Racing was. held on the 3rd,
4th aud 5th of July. The track was in very good order, and
the weather beautiful. On the 3rd the first race, Trotting,
2:35 clas*. was won cleverly by Little Frank in straight
heats, Joe Kinney second, James C. third. The best heat
was 2:35, just keeping the winner in the class. The two-year-
old trot mile heats two in three was readily accounted for by
Lemont Jr., who trotted his second heat in 2.45 without a
break. The five furbng dash was a very pretty race, Kitty
Van winning, Yellow Rose second, Pat Curran third. Time,
1:031. The quarter-mile sprint just suited McCullock, who
gotcffin front and stayed there. Weasel finishing second,
and White Cloud third. Time, 24 seconds.

On the Fnurth a tremedons crowd turned out; the first
race, half mile heats, three in five, trotting, was won by
Lucy, Foxy secood, Sancho third. The time of the best heat
l:32i' was not good. The trotting 2:40 class was won in
straight heats by James C, Daisy Warner second, Billy R.
third, best heat 2:40. Billy R. dropped dead on the track af-
ter the last heat from over exertion. Coloma won the mile
iu running clever style after a pretty set-to with J. M. R ,
who finished a close second, Bingo third, time 1:47£. The
half mile and repeat was accounted for by Smooth — Wire in
49 and 50 seconds, Laura D. second, Daisy R. third. The
six furlong dash resulled in a close race. Fandango just beat-
ing Kitty Van out in good time 1:17}, Narrow Gauge third.

On the Fifth there was again a large attendance, and] the
pool-bos was extensively patronized, the weather and track
both being good. The trotting Free for all, was won by An-
telope, Edwin C. second, Bishop llero third. Time, 2:23J,
2:29, 2:2S, 2:26.

The mile handicap running fell to Kitty Van, Bingo sec-
ond, Laura D. third. Time, 1:46. The three furlong scurry
was landed by Weasel, White Cloud Becond, McCulloch third.
Sugar-in -the -Barrel brought no grist to the mill, being left at
the poet.

The meeting wound up on the 6th of July in good shape
before a large and influential gathering of spectators. An
unfortunate accident in the last race (and several suspicious
races} marred the day's sport. Three of the horses crowded
together half way dowD the stretch, and Yandell, who was
lining Bingo, was fatally injured, his horse falling on him.
Fortune and Barger, who rode the other two in the melee,
were arrested, but bave siuce been acquitted.

Tbe first race was half-mile heata, 3
three starters. Billy E. won tbe first and fourth heats, and fast, a good check can be mane as follow

This is a theme which has come in for homilies long and
short for fifty years. Many men with knowledge upon the
subject have p'aced their views upon record. Many other
men without knowledge and without experience have seen
tit to force their views upon an uninterested and l"ng-suffer-
ing public. A great many amusing things — sometimes a trifle
disgusting, as well — have been written by some well-meaning
man as he sat "by himself, all alone, all alone," and endeav-
ored to enlighten the world of horsemen on the uses and
abuses of the check. The most dense, and ignorant of all
these revilers of something they know nothing about are the
men who periodically attack the "overdraw" check without
having owned a good horse in their lives, probably, and
knowing nothing of the merits of the "overdraw" eheck,
they stigmatize it as a cruel, inhuman and devilish inven-
tion brought into use for the express purpose of torturing
good horses. They delight to have a picture appear in the
newspaper column depicting a horse with his head pulled up
nntil his Dose points directly at the planet Venus. Just below
this caricature is usually pictured a man drawing a heavy
load by an improvised harness. He has a string through his
mouth, and his head is pulled up until he gazes fixedly at the
sun. The expression on the man's face is sad and pitiful in
the extreme. These two cuts form the nucleus round which
a harrowing tale of equine woe is entwined.

I saw an article some time since in a leading San Francisco
daily, in which these electrotypes did duty, and some gentle-
man from the East, who was connected wilh some Society
for the Prevention of Cruelly to Animals, placed his igno-
rance prominently before the people by an interview with a
reporter. He was either grievously imposed upon by some one,
or he deserved a medal. It never struck that man or others
of his ilk, that horsemen never adopt the methods he advo-
cates. He never appears to comprehend tt at the men who
raise, train and tiot horses know more than he does about
their necessities and the general good and well being of the
horses they have in charge.

Before saying anything upon the different devices for
checking horses, I have to state, as a fundamental principle
underlying all things, that the use is one thing; the abuse an-
other. Almost anything, no matter how good, can be carried
to escess, and there are always a lew men in the world who
are ultra in everything. Should these men own horses, and
like the overdraw check, they would possibly make "star-
gazers" of them all. There is a happy mean to be adopted
in this thing. Some horses do better with one check than
with another. Some horses drive and speed equally well
with any kind. I have had horses that could be driven faster
and steadier with an overdraw than with any other style
of check. An overdraw is the only kind of a check to drive
a nervous, easily frightened horse with! An overdraw is the
only thiDg to drive a horse with that is liable to run away!
An overdraw is the only safe check to drive a kicker with!
An overdraw is the only safe check to drive a high-lifed colt
with! An overdraw is the only safe check to drive a horse
with that curves his neck, drops his jaw against his breast
and then runs away! An overdraw is the only check gener-
ally speaking, to drive a trotter with!! A Bide check, if a
trifle too short, pulls down on the browband of a bridle, and
directly against a horse's ears in a painful manner. The
principal reason, in my mind, why all trainers and drivers
of fast horses use the overdraw, is because the "top check"
in connection with the little upper jaw bit, works sepsrately
from the main bridle bit. This enables a driver to convey
his desires to the horse with more accuracy and nicety than
he could if the main bit was pulled by a side check rein.
Again, the overdraw holds a horse steadier, and he can not,
by suddenly flexing his head and neck, leave the lines loose
in the driver's nanus. This Iattei movement wonld Dot mat-
ter so much in road horses, but it is a matter of considerable
moment when a horse is trotting a race.

Let every man comprehend that there is good in all styles
of checks, and bad in all if they be used.without understand-
ing. On the majority of fairly BtyliBh road horses a side
check, for a journey of from thirty to fifty miles during the
day, would be preferable. An overdraw can be let out, how-
ever, so it would answer the same purpose. A side check
gives a horse more freedom than an overdraw, unless the
horse is very stylish and upheaded; in that case it would
make no difference. For short drives interspersed with
brushes on the road,, the overdraw is preferable, while for
track work it fills a void long felt, as nothing else could do,
and as nothing else ever will do, all assertions to the contrary
notwithstanding.

For a puller the side check and overdraw combined is a
great contrivance. This is effected by using a four-ring bit,
viz., a regular bor or suaffla bit with two small sliding rings
upon the mouthpiece, inside the regular bit rings. Buckle
the overdraw to the small rings, and pass the overdraw straps
through the loops in the headpiece; then buckle loops to the
ends of the overdraw, letting them come about the same
place the loops on a throatlatcb would ordinarily come. Pass
the side check through these loops and buckle it to the large
rings. This is a self-steadyiog apparatus, and, if I remem-
ber correctly, was got up for tbe t retting mare Lady
Wilkes. For horses that "lay down" on a check when going

Take an ordinary

take it off. Take a strap, say three-eights of an inch wide,
that is the Droper length, and sew a small ring in each end.
Place tbe strap under the horse's chin, and pass the ends up
(underneath tne side pieces of the tridle) and toward the fore
part of the horse's face; then buckle the ends of your over-
draw into tbe small rings. Yon then have a check that per-
forms its duty by pulling under the chin. This will not work
unlesB the overdraw has a nnse-piece in front, as it will keep
sliding. It is a very steadying and satisfactory check on
some horses, especially those who fight an upper jaw bit
continually. The best upper jaw bit I have seen is called
the "Maxwell covered bit." A bit that turns up past the cor-
ners of tbe mouth is preferable to one shaped like an ordi-
nary snaffle bit. I have lived long enough to find out that
some fast horses cannot be driven as fast or as steadily with
an overcheck as with a side check. There is no doubt that
the overdraw is many times of considerable annoyance and
is rendered painfal to the horse family. This is seldom seen,
however, on a track or road horse. I have some times seen
carriage teams in San Francisco that I thought more ruefully
treated.

These teams were hitched to private vehicles. The horses
would probably weigh 1200 or 1250 each, and were not nat-
urally any too stylish. These rigs were owned by people who
emDloy a coachman and gardener in one. This is a combina-
tion, as John Splan says in "Life with the Trotters" that
don't work well in double harness. This groom hitches up.
pulls tbe horses heads up to the top notch, folds his big-bot-
toned coat about him and drives Madame down town. He
sits as rigidly on the box as doe3 one of Dr. Cogswell's foun-
tains on its pedestal. He does this because the people he
works for say it is decidedly English, and is the "correct
fad." He may be Irish hut he has to do this nevertheless.
Such is the irony of Fate! It is this picture that these good
Samaritans see that cause these occasional drives at the vile-
ness of the overdraw check. Every man should learn tbat
the stupidity of an alleged groom does not prove that the
overdraw is "an invention of the devil," as I once was told
by a benevolent old gentleman. As this s^me old gentleman
would shine more prominently while passinathe contribution
box at moring service than in attempting to render his views
upon checB reins. I did not reply. Hap.vet W. Pfjk.

Guenoc Coachine Party.

What a world of pleasant memories does the heading of
this letter recall to the writer. Last week it was our fortune
to be one of ten who comprised, I think, the first coaching
party that ever "did" the beautiful county Lake. With
several friends, on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Fowler, at
the La Gatina Farms (near the Guenoc Stock Farm), we
were invited by Dr. C, W. Aby to accompany him to Lower
Lake and Seigler Springs. Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were our
chaperones. We started from the Guenoc Farm at 7 a. m.,
and did the 24 miles to Lower Lake in 3 hours. We were
cordially received at the Clear Lake Hotel by Mr. Geo. W.
Wood, and after a splendid lunch which was accompanied
by sweet strains of music from a violin and gnitar, placed
under the window of the dining-room. At three o'clock our
jiurnev to the far-famed Seigler Springs was resumed. As
we swung out of the court yard of the hotel, the grand cross
matched team of bays and grays that blended so nicely with
the Eoglish gold mounted harness and wood colored coach,
the pride of Guenoc Stock Farm, and Dr. Aby's pets, our
hearts were light and merry as the wind. The ride to Seigler
was through one of the most enchantingly beautiful spots,
as the narrow road ran along the bank of Seigler Creek, wilh
bright sparkling water dancing merrily under the hanging
bonghs of willow and wild maple, with the sweet fragrance of
wild jessamine and violet, which every now and then would
call forth an exclamation of pleasure from all of us, as the
sweet, wild intoxicating fragrance was wafted to our nostrils.
Fair and beautiful county of the Lake's, so snugly hidden
away among the mountains, were thy beauties known to the
world, how many happy hearts you would make.

Our drive was necessarily slow, as we were too happy to
be in a hurry, besides the frequent sharp turns in the narrow
road would not permit of fast driving. Turning suddenly a
sharp point on the mountain, the beautiful race track belong-
ing to the Seigler Springs came into view. In a cosy little
dell surrounded by hills, is the track, where that prince of
good fellows, Jno. Spauiding, works and drives his trotters.
About half a mile away are the springs and the handsome
hotel. After unloading, we at once set out to
find our friend Spauiding. To our sorrow and chagrin we
were told he hsd that morning started for Carson City. His
place was ably filled by Mr. Harry Garrett, who showed us
over the track and through the stables. A beautiful pair of
bay mares especially took our fancy, by Milton R., he by
Milton Medium, by Happy Medium, so long an honor to
Fair Lawn, the home of the lamented Gen. W. T. Withers.
Our guide next showed us the many and various springs
that spring from the mountain side, and our parched lips
were soon cooled with the most delicious soda water it has
ever been our fortune to taste. Music and dancing was the
amusement until far into the night.

After a hearty breakfast and a delightful Bwim, the journey
homewards was commenced. Over the mountain our spirited
team pulled np at Adams Springs. A halt was called by our
conductor for lunch. This is a lovely placa, bnt it seems to
be managed by novices. We hope time will bring to them
what thev are sadly in need of— i". e , how to feed travellers.
Glenbrook was the next halt. The drive through Cobb Valley
beggars description. Words fail me when I try to describe
the grand imposing scenery.

It was a most beautiful sight to see tbe stage in (he valley
coming towards the mountain with its load of humanity, as
we wended our way down. We arrived home safeh iu time
for a six o'clock dinner, and right well did we enjoy it.

The party was composed of Mr. and Mrs. E. S Fowler, Le
Gatina; Mr. J. S. Snook, Oakland; Miss May Snook, Miesefl

Grirn's Gossip.
There are lots of horses exercising at lone track.

The race horses Naieho B. and Dell have been attached in
Los Angeles.

Lucky Baldwin's horses are to be taken to Saratoga at the
conclusion of the Chicago meeting.

It is not generally known, but a fact all the same, that
Yolo Maid can trot at mach better than a 2:40 gait.

At the lone meeting there will be more thoroughbred
horses than at any other meeting outside of Sacramento.

The directors of the Willows Association have made a
change in their programme, inserting a free for all trotting
race. $600 is the sum to be contended for, which should be
an incentive for a laige field of horses to enter. See the ad-
vertisement aud note the change.

Alfred S. still keeps improving. Last Sunday he was given
two good heats, Hickok driving him the last in 2:16£.

S. N. Straube purchased in Pleusauton last week Nicode-
mns, a two-year-o:d colt by Clovid, dam Young Niagara.

Col. Thornton's stable of trotters will be removed to Pleusan-
ton next week, Lambert having several promising ones
among them,

A letter from New York notifies me that Mr. Fredrio Geb-
hard will visit his stock farm in Lake County before many
days.

Charley Hinchmau, formerly of the Bay District track, has
taken the Lsland Hotel, Gridley, Butte County, and settled
down with the caies of a honiface on his shoulders.

All persons wishing copies of the by-laws, rules and regula-
tion of the National Irottiug Association, can procure the
same at this office, price 25 cents by mail 30 cents.

S. N. Straube, of Fresno, sold to Clay Austin and Andy
Fergusson, of Fresno, his entire herd (33 head) of Polled An-
gus. It is Mr. Straube's intention to devote himself entirely
10 trotters.

Margaret S. is the only Californian left in the Spirit of the
Times Slakes for ibis year. There are nine paid up and one
doubtful one. Mr. Salisbury is very confident of winning.

Messrs. Nolan and Fiddes of the California Stables sold
this week to C. F. Mullins the most handsome saddle-horse
in San Francisco The price paid was $430, and a bargain
at that.

Porter Reynolds, of Lake County, will prepare his horse
Harry Whippleton for the Ukiah Races. He also owns two colts
waicu will be put in training for the same meeting. They are
undergoing their work at the trackat Zeigler's Springs.

Eight horses worked heats belter than 2:30 on the Pleasan-
toa track the other day. Last Saturday Direct trotted a nice
mile in 2:20, Gold Leaf pacing easily alongside; Homestake
(no record) trotted in 2.20i, pretty good for a green one.

Mr. Straube, one of the Fresno Fair Association Directors,
called to see me the other day. He says the 2:20 class trot-
ting rac* closed with nine entries— tive from California and
four from the East.

One of the most promising b'lhes at the Petaluma track is
Lorena, owned by Capt. Ben Harris. This little black maiden
will surprise some of the talent before the year is out; 2:40
is her gait now with a whole lot left for an emergency.

The "three legged horse" Dawn is still pegging away at the
Petaluma track. Last Thursday he worked out the last of four
miles in 2:24, and Lee Shaner was holding him all of the last
half mile, as he wanted to go faster. When the next of his
legB give way he will be exercised in 2:18.

It is just about time that some good friend of Senator
Hearst should notify him that a ohange in his stahle would
benefit the public and at the Bame time be the means of saving
the Senator thousands of dollars. As conducted at present
the Btable, in my opinion, is only a great sink hole, for the
absorption of money. Let a change be made.

Mr. John Patterson, of Stockton has a pacer od the track
there, that is a surprise to all who see the little beauty. She
is only two-year-old and can beat 2:30 at any time. LaBt
Wednesday she drove a mile in 2:32 one of the quarters beiDg
completed in 34 seconds.

The breeders of thoroughbreds throughout the State,
should carefully read the announcement of the State Agri-
cultural SDciety in reference to the Stakes which will be run
off in 1890 91. As the entries close on August 1st., there is
little time to spare, so that attention Bhould be paid to this
at oace.

The State Agricultural Society has adopted a scale of points
by which horses shall be judged; singular to say.it has
omitted that provision in tne rule which has heretofore re-
quired cattle to be judged by a similar standard. We were
under the impression that there were in this State more com-
petent judges of horses than of fine cattle. At leaBt, we know
that if we were going to judge cattle, we should want some
other fellow to measure and weigh them, and even then to
tell us whioh one to award the rjreniium to, and yet we are
credibly informed that we would not much discredit the
judges who usually pass on cattle at our fairs.

There is a stroDg probabilityithat Mr. J. I. Case, of Racine,
Wis., will send his well known stallion Phallus to California
this fall, to prepare him for an attempt to beat his own re-
cord of 2:13J. Mr. Case having wintered in this state is now
satisfied that this is the proper place to keep good horses over
the cold months, and give them records in the spring.

Mr Straube of Fresno, has for sale a handsome bay colt,
by Anteeo, dam Maud Medium, by Miltoo Medium. This
promising yearling is called Anti-Medium, and can be had
at a rare bargain. Any one desirouB of purchasing this colt
should address S. N. Straube, Fresno.

One of the great disadvantages trainers labor under at the
Bay District track at this season of the year is the impossibil-
ity'to procure a bite of greenstuff for their horses. Green
lieldsof wheat aud oats may be seen to-day in Sonoma County,
and green corn fodder may be had right into November.

On the morning of July 9lh the following horses left Helena,
Montana, for the Twin City meeting at St. Paul: Daniel B.
Vice Regent, War Peek, X, Bay Blue, Nevada, Trifle, and Car-
rie Lee. Tim Lynch and Tom Bally also accompanied the
horses having the old crack Jou Jou with them.

Mr. N. P. Edwards, of Petaluma, has taken a contract to
lay the railB for a city railway in that pleasant little city.
By the time the Fair opens on August 27th it is expected
that the cars will he running from the centre of the city to
the race track. This is a much needed improvement and
will undoubtedly pay the promoters well.

Mr. C. L. Woods is sending Fred Arnold along at a merry
clip now. The stallion, although still at service, is being
put through his paces at San Luis Obispo, and he can be
seen almost any day Hoishing miles in better than 2:35, and
the track is far from being a fast one.

The Coney Island Jockey Club sent to this office a lot of
entry blanks for the stakes that closed on the 15th inst.
They arrived here on the 16th, too late to be of any use, al-
though several promient breeders had sent to us for blanks
prior to the Btakes dosing.

Mr. Edwin F. Smith, Secretary of the State Agricultural
Society, has forwarded to this office a lot of entry blanks for
the race at the coming State Fair, and also for the fixed
running events for 1890 and 1891. Any persons desirous
of obtaining copies can do so by applying at the office of the
Breeder and Sporstman.

An opportunity to inspeot the work of a local oarriage
factory was taken advantage of last week, and our reporter
expressed himself surprised at the perfection of skill aud
workmanship displayed. The proprietor, W. E. Shaw, at
the factory, 1621 Market street, gives his personal supervision
to and does most of the work himself. The main features
of his work, and of which too much cannot be said in com-
mendation, is the extreme lightness, combined with the
maximum of strength and room, as well as the light running
qualities of his sulkies. These sulkies are already in use on
several of our tracks and are highly spoken of. Mr. Shaw
being an old turfman, one familiar with the needs of drivers,
has tried to produce a salkey that in every respect will
meet with such requirements, and we believe that in every
respect he has succeeded. We hail the adventof all peculiarly
California manufactures, and this one in particular. The
advertisement of Mr. Shaw will be found on the last page of
our paper, and we commend his modest announcement to the
careful consideration of our readers.

Messrs. McAfee and Baldwin, of 10 Montgomery Street,
have for sale one of the very best paying livery stables in the
State. This is a rare opportunity for investment, as the pro-
fits will pay handsome interest on the amount asked for the
plant. Those of my readers who are looking for "a good
thing" cannot do better thau communicate with the agents,
who will supply any information not given in the advertise-
ment.

Little Mike Kelly, who was sent East some time ago in
ohange of the Porter Ashe stable, has bad to be taken to St.
Josiph's Hospital in Chicago where an operation will be per-
formed on his leg. The injury he received at Fresno was
not assisted any by the shaking up his got at the Bay Dis-
trict track, and it seems he has suffered from the wound ever
since. Jimmy Tompkins is at present looking after the
horses.

Mr. John Bielenberg. Deer Lodge, Mon., has purchased
from Thomas Smylhe, Squaw ('reek, Idaho, the chestnut
mare Pirouette, foaled 1873 (dam of Susie S., Avoudale and
Gem of the Monutains), by Harvey Villian, dam Farfalelta
{Falsetto's dam) by imp. Australian, out of Elkhorna by Lex-
ington.

Ringwood by Lowlander or Silvester, out of Mondane by
Mandrake, died while en route for Bnenos Ayres. Fleur de
Lye, sister to Ormonde, has been Hold and will shortly go to
Sooth America, She is slightly affected in her wind like her
celebrated brother.

The Sire brothers have engaged J. E. Turner to drive and
train some of their horses for the rest of the season. The
general will be Heen behind Hurry Wilkes, in his $5,000
match against Belle Hamlin, at Buffalo, in August. Rosaline
Wilkes will also be in Turner's string.

The Winters RtaMe with McCormick in charge, nrrived at
Monmouth Park last Wednesday. El Rio Rey, Joe Courtney,
and Don San Jose should Quin still further honors in the
East, for Mr. Winters who I hear by the way, has returned
to Reno.

Last Saturday ufternoon a match race took place at the
O-kland track between J. C. Simpson's Ruthbone, aud Tom
Williams's ByraDt W. for $200 a side, the distance being six
f'.-.rlonge. As in the previous race, lbtlhboue had things all
1 is own way and won easily.

Eastern journals are cautiously whispering to their readers
t;.'U Budd Doble haB something in bin Ktring that can beat
(luv. The roport probuhly originated with Doble, who was
unable lo secure the gelding for the present season.

MiBS Johanna Kemler, of Paradise Valley, Nev.,isonherway
to join Buffalo Bill's show in Paris. One of our exchanges
says: She rides any animal that wears hair and hoofs, and cares
no more for a saddle than does a wild Indian. She is as much
at home on the side of a galloping steed as on his back. With
her horse at full speed she can pass under his neck and come
up on the other side, a feat that few Comanches care to
undertake.

Lee Shaner haB in training at the Petaluma track the
Bmallest little bit of a thing in the way of horse flesh that
ever faced a crowd on a course. The game youngster is
twelve months old, by Sydney, dam by the Grand Moor,
and I saw him go the full mile in 3:02; the first quarter was
made in 3S seconds and the last in 42. The boys about the
course call him Jack Rabbit, he is so small, and really it is a
oomical sight to see Mr. Shaner in the sulky behind such a
pigmy. The lilliput is full of paoe and has any quantity of en-
durance.

A gentleman friend of mine received a oypher telegram
from a trainer in the EaBt a few days ago, which sta'ed that
Honduras aud Sinaloa would be started from the Baldwin
stable that afternoon, and to back Sinaloa sure. But the
gentleman read the cipher incorrectly, and told everyone he
met to play Honduras for a place, and put $200 on at evens.
Sinaloa was the one "tipped" and Bhe got the place, Hon-
duras nowhere. A second reading of the telegram showed
him his mistake.

It is not long ago that I had occasion to mention in "Grim's
GoBsip" the fact of a horse starting to make a walk over for a
purse, at one of the steeplechase meetings in Frauce, and
that as his rider was unable to get him over one of the jumps
the race was declared off. Almost the same thing has hap-
pened for the Traders Plate at Athy in Ireland. Emperor
and Erin-gobragh were the only contestants, aud they both
persistently refused to negotiate one of the fences and had to
be ordered to the stable.

It is well known to almoBt every posted horseman that
Col Sanders D. Bruce, has lost money on each volume of
the American Stud book that has been issued. I would
therefore suggest to the principal racing associations throngh
out the oouutry that they adopt the plan of the Australian
jockoy clubs and let each donate a purse to the enthusiastic
Colonel, who has done so much for the turf interests of Amer-
ica in the past twenty years. The Australian associations
eaoh m . nfl £50 to the publishers of the Australian stud
book.

A week or two ago mention was made in these columns
that Mr. Corbitt would not trot his stallions in any contest
which was open to inures and geldings, and that as tin re
was do stallion men in which he could enter Sable WilKes,
there was a strong probability that he would nut start the

celebrated stallion this year. Now, I have it on undoubted
authority that if any astfooiatiorj will put up a frfe-for-ull
purse (Stomboul Inured) there will be af least live entries,

counting Sable Wikes, and probably si\. The association

that makes the first bid for this sensational nice will make
i. big hit, for thousands will travel a long way to see the
four or live stallions, whose owners have tin' temerity to try
aud down the great son of (luy Wilkes.

A half. pint of blood-warm water, injected in the reotum at
the right time by a small rubber bulb syringe, is a Bimple,
effective and prompt remedy of constipation in foals. Everv
young breeder should write this out and paste it upon every
brood mare stall in his stable. Hundreds of young foals die
from this causa every year. Some breedors apply a little oil
or lard to the rectum, aDd think that when the foal passes the
black meconium all danger is over. This is a mistake.
Every foal dropped by mares not running to grass should be
carefully watched for the first few hours after birth, aud if
Buy Bigns of pain are apparent, which can be detected by
uneasiness, straining, carrying the hind legs forward until
the little sufferer nearly pitches head first upon the floor,
then give an injection of a half-pint of blood-warm water,
with just enough soap added to make the water feel slippery
to touch. This should be thrown up geotly, for too much
force is used it will cause the patient to strain at once, and
the liquid will not be retained long enough to soften the con-
gested matter.

At the Kedion Park (Queensland) races held on the 4th
of May, a rather peculiar caBe cropped up, which is thus de-
scribed by a Brisbane paper: —

Enid got away in the front when the flag fell, and led
along the back, followed by Miss Newbold, who took up the
running when approaching the turn into the straight Here,
however, the latter ran into a post and knocked it down, and
although she was first into the straight the accident threw
her back a little, and Godolphin, who was ridden a good race
by young King, came with a run, and catching the mare
half-way up the running, beat her by nearly three lengths,
Gladys finishing a good third. A protest was lodged against
tha winner on the ground that he had run inside the post
whioh was knocked down by Miss Newbold, and the stew-
ards, after holding an inquiry, disqualified Godolphin aud
awarded the prize to MisB Newbold. It appears tbat the post
was broken off within 6 inches of the ground, and thrown
some four yards inside the track, and the rider of Godolphin,
not seeing the stump that maiked the spot where the post
had been, took his horse over the fallen stick, and it was in
consequence of his admission of this that the winner was
disqualified.

Mr. N. T. Smith in his communication anent Pacific CoaBt
Trotting Association, stated that he did not know how many,
if any, associations on the coast belonged to the American
Association. As far as we have been able to learn, the fol-
lowing do so belong:

Anaconda Racing Association, Anaconda, Montana.

Deer Lodge Association, Deer Lodge, Montana.

Overland Park Club, Denver, Col.

Judson Driving Park, Salt Lake, Utah.

Wyoming Fair Association, Cbeyeune, Wyoming.

Sonoma and Marin Agricultural Society, Petaluma, Cal.

Sonoma County Argic'l Park Association, Santa Rosa, Cal.

Napa and Solano Agricultural Society, Napa, Cal.

Golden Gate (Oakland) Agricultural Society, Oakland, Cal.

Fresno Agricultural Society, Fresno, Cal,

Los AngeleB Agricultural Society, Los ADgeles, Cal.

San Lu;s Obispo Agricultural Society, San Luis Obispo, Cal.

Eureka Racing Association, Eureka, Cal.

With probably half a dozen or more we know nothing
about. Those named, however, constitute just abont the
cream of ourtrack societies, and it looks very much as though
the American Trotting Association had obtained a grip in
this coast that nothing short of a Pacific Coast Trotting As-
sociation would loosen.

Members of the American Trotting Association onjoy a
great advantage over those belonging to the National, inas-
much as they are eiven the privilege of keeping any disrepu-
table characters off their tracks, whether such characters per-
petrated their frauds on National Association tracks or eveu
on tracks of the American Turf Association (running horse).
This is as it should be. A man committing a fraud ou one
track should be punishable on all others; it is the only way
to keep up public interest in turf coutests. Imaffine the
effect of a driver or rider expelled for life for palpable fraud
at the Bay District, nest week appearing at Oakland behind
the horses the public had the previous week put their
money on. The rule adopted by the American Association
reads as follows:

"All personsand horses ruled off for fraud by the American
Turf Congress, or expelled for fraud by the National Trotting
Association Bhail hereafter likewise stand disqualified from
competing ou the courses of members of this association;
provided, that the Board of Appeals may at any time, for
good cause shown, remove or modify the same; but uutil
otherwise ordered by the Board of Directors, no other fine,
suspension, expulsion or penalty ordered by m through the
National Trotting Association shall b« recognized or enforced
by this association, except in cases where the same have been
or may be ordered by members of this association."

By omitting to adopt a similar rule, the National Associa-
tion virtually says to the public aud to its own members:
"Every thief is n gentleman, unless and until he happens to
be detected stealing when driving, riding or training under
our rules."

Cultivation in the Orchard.

Written for the BuEKUKit AtfD Sportsman,

[ care should be taken not to run over trees or break off
J limbs. A patient man with a team in an orchard, is always
. the best, although he may not apparently accomplish as much
as a man with a little more energy, but it is dune better, and
j he will not fly off on a tangent when his team happens to go
' a little too mnoh to the right or left and then commence jerk-

mean more to the orchardist and his business than the aver- when perhaps, they may turn and break and damage more
age man has any idea of. Shallow cultivation in poor at the . trees than his month's wages amount to. Serious mistakes
best. While it may keep the orchard free of weeds and I often occur by letting inexperienced teamsters work among

it does not Berve to hold the greater amount, which would be a gang plow on a grain ranch, where there is nothing in their

we cultivate for? A question simple enough in itself, but one apart, and they are entirely out of place, being unaccustomed
not so eaBily answered in its full sense. Cultivation is not to keep a smart lookout for trees at such a short distance,
merely for the purpose of dragging a few blades of steel over . Muzzling the horses shoold be done, where they eat the foli-
the ground for exercise, nor for the purpose of simply keep- age. The muzzle may either be made of leather or wire, and
ng it free from weeds. To be sure, we want to tee the , buckled over the bridle. In old orchards, saw off the tops

ground is allowed to bake. It 6rst forms a bard crust, then
oracbs, anil if allowed to remain will draw from the soil every
bit of moisture it contains, and when it oracks around tre.-s
will be sure death to them. While shallow cultivatirn is
better than no cultivation at all, still the ground will bake
and crack to a greater or less degree it permitted to remain in
that condition long. Heavy soils, although richer in food
material for treeB, have a greater tendency to break lhan
more sandv ground, and consequently require a more thor-
ough working. Sti.l the benefits of thoroughly cultivating
soils can be «een in more ways lhan one. The fruit will have
a higher flavor, the trees show a thriftier growth and the
ground be ready when the first rains fall to commence dis-
solving those elements which the small fibers of the roo's of
the tree take up for its daily rations. As to the general mode
of cultivation, we will start from the first plowing of the
orchard. Although this article is intended to treat only on
the mere use of cultivators, coming after the ground has
been thoroughly plowed. In the first place, give your
orchard a good, deep plowing of say, eight inches, early in
the season; then next, cro*s plow, going down a couple of
inches deeper, the deeper the better, even if you throw your
plow down up to the beam; after that, run your cultivator
over the ground every three weeks or so, throwing your
bladeB down as deep as possible consistently with the quality
of the ground and the amount of work that the team can
stand. All this time keep yonr trees well hoed around the
trauks where the cultivator does not reach, but at the same
time remember that the moie work you accomplish and the
closer you can get to the trees with the cultivator the less
hoeing yon will have to do. Do not run the side of the cul-
tivator into the trunks of the trees and bark them. While a
bark may not always seriously injure, it generally damages a
tree to a greater or less extent, not always shown, but inva-
riably telling in the growth, and in some instances, as with
young cherry trees, killing them if badly barked, nn'

What is a Well Bred Trotter?

"Written for the Breeder and Sportsman.

What is a well bred hor=e? Ask this question of any crowd
of horsemen you meet, and the reply from seven-tenths of
the "old-timers" will be, "The Hambletouians are the only
well bred trotters."

The Hambletooiaus are undeniably a great family, great in
performances, and vastly greater in numbers. But let us
examine them fairly andjwiihout predjudice, by the light of
recorded facts, and bee if their success as uniform performers
and producers (independeat of aid from trotting blood) has
been so superior to other trotting families as to justify their
partisans in arrogating to the claim of being the only "well
bred trotters."

As their successes are blazoned to the world and repeated
and enlarged upon, we will, for the purpose of a fair and
intelligent judgment, consider some of their failures, as well
as the aid they have had fiom other strains (without credit)
in their successes.

Reserve, No. 265, was foaled in 1859 (just thirty years
ag°). by Rysdye Haaibletonian. He sired Oscar, record
2:30, and no others.

Peter was by Hambletonion, and sired Tola, 2;29|, and
no others.

Thirty-seven other sods of Hambletonian have, in a long
life time, with the great opportunity the prestige of the
Hambletonian name gave them, got just one each, and over
four hundred others are still worse off, never having got a
single one.

Take Pickering, by Hambletonian, dam by Seely's Amer-
ican Star (the great "cross" that gave Hambletonian his
fame), and these same men will agree unanimously that bis is
" and for proof wiH. tell you

the "best breeding in the world,
covered at once withamixture of cow dung and clay or other j 0f Dexter aDd oihers that are bred in that way. Well, Pick-
substance, to keep out the air until the bruise is thoroughly ering has a record himself of just 2:30. bat never sired a 2:30
heuled over. The style of cultivator to be used is a difficult I performer.

question to answer, as one cnltivator may be adapted to a
certain soil, while in another it may be totally unfit for the
thorough working of the land. Every blacksmith and evory
agricultural shop and store will represent their cultivators as
the best, and there are a great many different kinds in use.
and more being invented all the time. Some are very good,
while others with perhaps some particular good point about
them lack the general qualities which, taken together, make
the good average cultivator, ea^y of draft and thoroughly
stirring and mixing the ground. For ordinary purposes for
thoBe who are uninitiated, probably the o d diamond-tooth
cultivator, with a knife attachment behind to cut weed?,
which any blacksmith caD put on, would give good satisfac-
tion uotifsonie other is found that is particularly adapted to
your soil- For light cultivating where there are but few
weedB to interfere with the blade going down, the Acme is
very good, harrowing and pulverizing the clods at the same
time, and al->o leveling the ground.

After cultivating the orchard firr.t length wayp, then across,
you should run a clod-smasher over the whole, thus breaking
and pulverizing all the clods that the cultivator fails to knock
to pieces. ThiB clod-smashing is not beneficial in very
sandy ground, as the cultivator generally loosens it up
enough and as it does not bake and clod as much as heavy
land, it would be a waste of time in doing it, unless the soil
is of a somewhat loamy Dature, then it would assist in help-
ing ths ground to retain the moisture. On irrigated lands a
good plowiug is better and cheaper in the long run, after the
wateT has been run over the ground, than to runuver it with
the cultivator. If you irrigate a large tract within a short
time, and lack the requisite number of teams, this can not
always be done, but by taking the land in sections and fol-
lowing each op as it dries, yon will experience no tronble"
Do not work the land while it is too wet, and on the other
hand do not let it go too long after irrigating. Take it jast
at the time when it begins to be dry enough, without feeling
soggy, when handling it with your fingers, then run over it
with your plow or cultivator, and it will crumble up and not
olod in chunks, sometimes as long as your arm, as it would
do if left too long. Irrigation is often worse than no irriga-
tion at all, if the ground is not properly handled afterwards,
and I would advise all, excepting those of course in parts of
the State, where irrigation is absolutely necessary, to culti-
vate more and irrigate less. But few iinagiue what a fine
reservoir there is contained in a simple cultivator, a pair of
horses, with a good man at the lines, wbo will use a little
pedeslriaoism and elbow grease, in holding that supply until
needed by the trees and vines, or whatever is pKnteu on the
lund. Ifjudiciously u*ed this reservoir is worth a great
many shares of ditch stock, and besides yon are independent
as to using it. You don't have to wait until somebody else
i* through with the water, which may be weeks. It is pretty
hard to tell when they will be through with it. but all you
have to do is to get forth at any time or hour that you may
choose, for damming ud this supply of water in your orchard
at a small cost, and with a little hard work. Not so very
hard either— still when a man follows a cultivator all day
long in the hot sun. he is entitled to and generally gets a
good night's rest. Trials have demonstrated the difference
in the growth of trees and in the frnit, according to the
aaiouot of enltivatiou given an orchard. In a large isolated
orchard t ie trees may make a fair growth and present a gen-
erally good appearance with but litile cultivation. But take
half that orchtird and put double the work on it, cultivate
deeper and oftener, and you will soon see the other half take
a back seat and be nothing but a skeleton beside it. Great

Again, take Artillery, by Hambletonian, dam also by
American Star, with not a single 2:30 performer, and you
will get the same verdict — "the best bred trotters in the
world, "aDd they would patronize him ''on his breeding," if
he were within reach, and ask no questions.

Compare this showing with the percentage of performers
and producers by The Moor, for instance — with no Hamble-
tooian blood.

When we reflect that a fitly without one drop of Hamble-
tonian or Mambrino blood beat the best record in her class
12| seconds, and that a colt of the same plebeian origin held
the best record in his clasB for two years, and that a stallion
with no more patrician blood held the best stallion record for
tight years, we have a right to question the arrogant claims
stt up for this family as being tne "only well bred trotters."
While the Hambletonian name is renowned throughout
the world, and most deservedly, it is not generally known
as it should be, that by far the best and most famous of
them, of all ages, sexes and classes are not inbred, but are
oulcrossed on pacing blood.

What the Hambletouians could not do within them-
selves, and failed to do with any other trotting cross, they
achieved with the helj> of the facer In every class, from
the contest of yearlings to the mdrvellous.exhibitions oftthe
kings and queens, the best records, without an exception,
stand to the credit of the ''pacing cross."

These men, whose vision is bounded by the Hambletonian
line, aud who can see nothing in Maud S , J»y Eye See,
Manzanita, or Axtel, but the ilanibletoman part of it, sneer
at the Blue Bulls, as they sneered, not so very long ago, at
the Clays and Pilots, and on the same grounds — '*want of
breeding." Although Blue Bull has more 2:30 performers
than any horse that ever lived, except, possibly, George
Wilkes, whose opportunity, in the quality of the mares he
served, aud in the development of his produce, was a hun-
dred to one in his favor.

Blue Bull's suns are getting trotters, aud his daughters
are producng trotters. He has more daughters that have
produced 2:30 performers than his great rival — George
Wilkes. His progeny are "training on" and "breeding on,"
and yet, we are t*-ld, they have "'no breeding" and are not
4 fashionable, " Neither were the Pilots fashionable, nor the
Clays, but without them we should have had no Maud S.,
-Jay Eye See, Nutwood, George Wilkes, Staniboul, or Axtel.
fashions cuauge, and those who woul I be in the fashion or
would breed extreme sj>eed, must not ignore Blue Bull
blood — the best pacing blood to breed trotters from that the
world has yet produced, as the number of his £:30 perfoini-
ers abundantly proves.

Had I the presumption to attempt to define a "well-bred
trotter," I should say he is not necessarily a Hambletonian,
a Mambrino, a Bashaw, a Clay, or a Blue Bull, but that he
is from the -'elect lines" of a strain that has produced the
largest percentage of fast trotters for the number bred and
trained.

According to this definition, and I think it will be con-
ceded to be a correct one, a horse tracing to the great Blue
Bull, equally with one tracing to the great George Wilkes
through producing sons, or producing daughters, and from
speed producers on the other side, whether the other side is
Clay. Pilot, Hambletonian or something else, would be the
"best bred trotter In the world," and ought to go as fast —
well, as fabfc as Roy Wilkes, who combines the blood of the
two "best bred" families (according to this definition)— Blue
Bull and George Wilkes, and who has two "best reoords" as
he should have from his breeding.

Don't let me be understood as making an assault upon the
Hambletonian family— a family that I am no more willing to
dispense with in breeding the trotter than their blindest
admirers, but I would award them no more than their just
weight in the making of that composite animal— the Ameri-
can trotter.

If the Hambletonian family were to-day wiped from the
face of the earth, it would be a great calamity, aud retard the
fullest possible development of the trotting horse for years,
but would Dot, in my opinion, prevent the ultimate develop-
ment of as great speed, and in every way as desirable an ani-
mal as if we still had the benefit of that desirable cross.

It has been the practice to mate the best mares of other
strains with Hambletonian sires and give all the credit of (he
produce fo the male. It is this injustice to other blood, and
this self-deception that I would combat.

It will not be long until the breeding public will fully
appreciate the value of pacing blood in the female to cross
with Hambletonian sires, but will probably be longer before
they will understand and profit by the fact that a cross of
Hambletonian mares with pacing sires will produce equally
good results, but it beine one of the facts of physiological
law, it will be understood aud acted upou in time. The
laws of heredity will not yield to any man's prejudice or
interest.

A standard of merit for the trotting horse, based npon
tested speed, or the power to produce speed at the trot or
pace, and the immediate progeny of such performers and
producers, would be a good thing for the horse interest. The
present standard is better than none, but it is mainly a
Hambletoman "trust" "calculated for the Eastern meridian,"
where ninety-niDe breeders in a hundred are interested in
that family of horses, and its object is more to shut out com-
petition than to elevate the breeding interest, or hasten the
coming of the two-minute trotier.

S. A. Brown & Co., of Kalamazoo. Michigan, who put
more winners in the 2:30 list in 18S7 than any breeding farm
in America, says: "A very large percentage of trotters, if
trained all their lives, could not trot in three minutes." aud
yet these scions of Hambletonian aristocracy have standard
rank, while the brilliant Yolo Maid, with her unequalled
three-year-old record of 2:14, being a pacer, is left out m the
cold, and this too, notwithstanding the notorious fact that
many a Hambletonian whose owner is proud of his standard
rank, would not be there but fir the quickening power of a
cross of this same pacing blood that shuts out the Maid.
"Consistency, thou art a jewel." "Give the pacer his dues,"
and if you have a Hambletonian that can't trot, give him a
cross of this quickening blood, and a chance for speed and
fame in his progeny. M. W. Hicks.

Australia for the English Derby.

Four colts were shipped from Melbourne, June 2lst., in-
tended for the English Derby of next year, by the steamer
Orizoba, entered by Hon. James White, of Victoria Colony.
The Derby was won for the first time by a foreign bred horse
in 1865 — the French Gladiataur bearing off the precious
prize. Loriliard's Iroqnis stands yet as the only American
winner of the blue ribton. Should one of these Australian
colts prove the victor, English breeders will have the satis-
faction of cogitating upon the better performance of home
blood transported, to return and proveits-superioiity through
breeding in a distant clime aDd favored soil. California will
yet breed the winner ol the great original Derby, with an
American jockey up.

Maltese Villa Stable.

A faithful and trustworthy young man, Johny Wall, who
has been in the employ of K. Porter Ashe, proprietor of the
Maltese Villa srables, for several years, arrived at Sacramento
on Monday morning with a contingent of nine thorough-
breds, and he has them domiciled at Mr. Shear's cottage
stable, at the entrance to the Agricultural Park. There are
seven yearlings, one three-year-old and Mozirt, better kuown
as "Old Mose." The yearlings are all well broken and look
the pictnre of health, and with the care their trusty tnwner
takes of them, I am more than satisfied that th^ir affable
owner will have quite a number to enter as soon as the
stakes are opeD, for their appearance are of the yearling de-
veloping kind. I here give the names and breeding of the
nine as they appeared a few days ago to your correspoudent:
First on the list is the old veteran and pet of tie stable,
Mozart, by Flood, dam Moselle. Next comes Ryland, a very
fine looking three-j ear-old by Shannon, dam Goula; Mr.
Ashe purchased this colt at Palo Alto Stock Farm at the same
time he bought Flood Tide. As the colt was troubled with
rheumatism he was not trained last season, and I am satis-
tied it was good judgment uot to do so, for I have never seen
Buch improvement in a colt as there is in him from last year.
His trainer thinks he is all right now, and faucies it will be a
hard game for many of the three-year-olds to beat him. I
hope Johnny is right for his own and the owner's sake, for a
few more such men as R. Porter A.sbe would be a great bene-
fit to the turf on the Pacific CoaBt. Now comes the babies or
yearlings, first the brown colt, Kiug Alta, by that good race
horse Alta, dam Cousin Peggy. He is a very fine propor-
tioned colt, only a trifle undersized, which shows early de-
velopment.

Then came a ohestnut colt Jndge Terry, by Alta, dam Pet.
If there is anything in appearance he is snre to be as game as
his sire, and have the staying qualities of hi-* namesake.

Number 3 is Sir Kae, a hay c jit by Alta, dam Constellation,
a well developed youngster; aud if nothiug happens, is sure
to make a name for himself.

Number 4 is RomaitH, a brown filly by Woodlands, dam
Dizzy Blonde, and she looks aB if she would be a very speedy
filly when called on.

We now come to Anteora, ft bl&ok filly by Alta, dam Theilip,
which for beauty and finish it is hurd to find her equal in
any of our largest breeding establishments.

Number 6 is a chestnut filly named Bornie by Altn, dam
Lillie Ashe. This is a filly of very rare proportions, ftud
when the flag falls will be in the front ranks, ii in condition
at the time.

Number 7 is Zingrellii, a chestnut filly by Ed Corrigan, dam
Minuet. This filly takes considerably after her sire and I
think with age will be a very fine looking mare. She ought
to have what constitutes a good race borf-e, namely BpeeH -
eudurrtnee, and as her dam and sire bad both qi
is no reason why a good looking daughter shout d i
I wish success to the trainer of the stable, and ah
imaginable. !•'

THE GOT

The periodical established a year ago as "Wildwoods Maga-
zine" was changed in title a month ago, beiDg known as
"Recreation." Since the laBt change the whole plant has
been purchased by Turf, Field and Farm, and now becomes
a part of that paper. The editor of Recreation Mr. F. E.
Pond, will take place as a corresponding editor of T. F. and
F., and will add much to tho strengthof thestaff of that jour-
nal. Whether Mr. Charles Hallock will assist in the new
venture is not stated.

A prominent member of the Alameda Couuty Sportsmen's
Club won a big bos of candy at Stockton in October last, and
the poor little chap haB not- yet received his taffy— an over-
night which Mr. Anstin B. Sperry might set straight. It
would not be safe to permit Frank Lane to attend to the
matter — he U f*>nd of candy himself. If the bos is addressed
"Kellogg, 41G Montgomery Street, San Franciscr," it will go
all light.

Au euthusiastic and very good trap shot of Riverside was
led into error the other day. He thought he had a "walking
match" at blue rock targets well in hand, but failed to get
the under— A— K— Holt and rolled up a nice score of twenty
large eggs.

Harvey McMurchy is knocking about Syracuse looking for
snakes, it is presumed. We should be pleased to know
whether it was a snake or a crooked limh that at'empted to
bite McMurchy in Louisiana last fall. So many versions of
that thrilling incident have come to hand that it is becom-
ing a matter of paramount importance to know whether Mc.
bit the earth, or the stick hit thp wnake, or who.

The Blue Rock Club will "shoot up" back scoreB at Shell
Point this afternoon. Mr. J. C. Kimble, a crack trap-shot
from the East has joined the Club. Shell Point is reached via
South Pacific Coast Narrow Gauge Railway.

A valued sportsman of Seattle sends these kindly words:—

"Many sportsmen are coming to this country, and in a
very short time we thi k that this Territor}', Oregon and
California, with surrounding country, r will contain some of
the finest sportsmen in esistence.

The Breeder and Sportsbian has a very bright future,
and Mr. Perry and myself and otheis think it will stand at
the head. Anvthiug in our power to further its interests
will be done by us.

Mr. Perry, who stood at hi3 engine, 'No. 1, Seattle Fire
Department,' during all the recent great tire, fought the
flames as they never were fought before, lost all his property,
furniture aud valuable sportsman's library, together with all
his beloved dogs. No man had greater love for his four-footod
friends than our friend Silalicum."

[Our sympathy goes out towards the esteemed fellow
sportsman, and we suggest that each of the many who huva
read "SilalicuruV delightful musings at ouce assist in re-
establishing his library. We lead off by sending Professor
Goode's "American Fishes" to Mr. W. A. Perry, Seattle,
W. T.— Field Ed.]

"Mr. Robertson and.myBelf are good friends, and have shot
together many times. I will enquire about his Gordon-Eng-
lish setter and try and see her at work afield, and will let you
know."

A notable incident of the Bakersfield fire was the bravery
shown by two sportsmen, Messrs. W. E. Houghton and E.
O'Donnell. The supply of water for the town comes from a
tank placed on a high wooden lower, which repeatedly took
tire, and the town would soon have been left absolutely
without protection if the gentlemen had not climbed half a
dozen times to the top of the tower and drenched the sides
aud roof with water. The act merits the highest commenda-
tion.

Dr. I. W.Hays, Jr., of Grass Valley, spent last week in
San Francisco, in attendance upon the meetiog of the State
Dental Society. He reports indications for the coming quail
season in hiB vicinity favorable. The Grass Valley Sports-
men's Club recently brought from Oregon four dozen Mongo-
lian Pheasant egers, which were hatched by barnyard fowls,
eighteen young pheasants resulting. The youngsters im-
mediately developed a tendency to wander which, gave the
clucking brooders much anxiety. The old hens endured the
erratic ways of their mongol footer young ones for two or
three days and then deliberately killed off the young pheas-
ants only three surviving. The survivors have been placed in
a proper enclosure and are being cared for assiduously.
Doctor Hays has made a study of the habits and habitat of
Mongolian pheasants, and concludes that the foothill region of
California is mach like the portions of China in which they
are abundant. The reports which come from Oregou about
the pheasants are so conflicting as to make it difficult to reach
a conclusion about their desirability. Some say that they
breed so fast in Southern Oregon as to make it impossible to
keep the stock down, and that they are so destructive to
grain and seed crops as to be nuisances. Other claim that by
preference the birds use in the wilder parts where nobody
lives and feed only on wild grass seeds and insects. We
should be glad to learn from readers in Oregou what they
think about pheasauts.

Au item of great interest to anglers and sportsmen may be
gleaned from the advertising columns this week, where that
energetic and popular Boniface, Mr. Robert T. Polk, famous
as an old-time Bportsman, announces that he has opened a
resort for the guild in San Pedro Valley, San Mateo Couuty,
near Coluja. Mr, Polk has remodeled that splendidly
preserved old adobe mansion, built by Senor Don Sanchez
njiiuy years ago, in the baronial daya of the Spanish settlers. I
The house has entertained a w irld of men since then grown '
famous. General Grant passed many days Ibere in his early
dayd in California. General Sherman had shot over the hills
nbuut the valley and enjoyed the rare hospitality of its lordly
owner. John B. Felto-. William 11. Patterson, Hall McAl-
lister aud the other legal gunls of a few years by -gone were
lond of gathering about the huge old dining table and spend-
ing long nights in such relaxation afl they fancied. For forty
years a constant stream of distinguished visitors has passed
to and from San Pedro. The valley affords tho best quail
aud cotton tail shooting in (bo State, and tin-re is a well
atocked brook running through the property, which forms
two larne lakes juat at the ocean beach. Salmon trout in
great numbers pass into the lakes from the sen and afford
line sport. In ihe winter the finest oi duck shooting lb to be
had and nifitiy English snipe. For mere beauty the valley
has no equal. Ah a place for a suburban resort, whetbor for
sportsmen or those who desire only i*st in delightful sur-
roundings, Hotel San Pedro has not an equal on the const.
Large, airy rooms every convenience, tirst-rate table sup-
plied with crisp, freshly picked vegetables, game and fish

taken right at band, and last, though not least, being easily
reached either by driving from San Francisco or by train to
Colma and thence by the hotel conveyance to the hotel, a
drive of eight miles over a good ioad within sight and hear-
ing of the sea. Mr. Polk thoroughly understands good living,
and gives bis personal attention to the entertainment of hiB
guests. No nicer or more pleasant way to spend the hours
fjom Saturday afternoon to Monday morning can be im-
agined than to drop down to Hotel San Pedro, kill a few
cotton tails or doves, catch two or three dozen clean, lively
trout or a sack of sea trout, green cod, rock cod or surf
perch; take two or three pluDges into the clean surf, dine on
freshly caught fish, game of rare quality, vegetables just
taken from the ground, cream ad libitum, Maryland biseuitB
and fried chicken, and then sleep, lulled by the deep iniona-
tious of the eternally breaking sea. The perplexities of busi-
ness life weigh less heavily after such little spells of recrea-
tion.

Inter-Club Matoh Again.

With reference to the mooted matcn between teams from
the various clubs of the coast. Mr. Henry A. Bassford, of
Vacaville, writes, under date of July 14th, 1889, as follows:

Yours received. I will see Friend Buckingham to-morrow,
and see when it will be convenient for him to get off, and
then I will write you. We are pretty busy now, and have
not shot a Blue Rock this seasiu. We do all our shooting
late in the summer and early fall. We will c-nter a team in
live bird shoot at San Jose in October for the trophy. There
will be five or sis from here to shoot for the Selby medal.

Breeders and Sportsmen.

WltlTIEN EOlt THE BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN.

There is a great deal of the practical naturalist and lover
of the best in nature in the make-up of the genuine sports-
man. He studies man and the brute creation, the beasts of
the field, the birds of the air, the fishes of the sea, and
every animate genus and species. He makes particular
study of every kind that delight mankind in the cLaae and
quest, and that serve the uses and gratification of the horse-
man family, whether for profit, for companionship, for
hunting, or for whatever other purpose. The horse and the
dog naturally attract his attention, as the one and the other
are essential to his ploasures and sport. The horse assures
tbe greater profit, and the dog is the best, type of affection,
fidelity, courage and intelligence for the fond companion-
ship which has none of the alloy often found in human na-
ture. These are the hunters, the most valuable accessorieBto
the sportsman, and therefore the companionship is insepar-
able, as the spirit is congenial. In this respect the important
matter of breeding suggests itself to the sportsman as an
indispensable qualification. He seeks to learn the breeding
that will yield him the best results to satisfy his desires in
line with his purpose. This must come from superior blood,
tbe nest that can be obtained or developed agreeably to the
requirement for the sports of the turf, whether in running
or trotting, for the sports of the field, in huntiog, or for the
pleasures of the road and the drive. Observation, tentative
trials, experience and study, to the best results, at length
establish a line and founJ a system which can be safely
adhered to in the important points of speed and endurance,
and in these are comprehended all which describes the
thorough horse for either sport or pleusure.

The natures and qualities of horses differ as materially as
do the natures and qualities of the human kind. Since tbe
commingling of different races, of different nations and
tribes, much has been learned of the results of the inter-
mingling of all these in regard to progeny and otherwise. It
is now generally learned which of the races produce the
better lines, and which are detrimental in the peopling of
the world; from which no issue comes, as there is none
from the mule. But the present century aud our own coun-
try has illustrated that there are peoples of different national-
ities with whom the crossing is the betterment of certain
leading traits, quite as the crossing of different lines of
horses begets improvement in certain valuable qualities.
Through similar process the thoroughbred horses of England
aud America, which are now the fleetest in the world and
superior to all others in form and bone, in spirit and in
sinew, have been bred. The evolution of the perfect trotter
is progressing from similar tentative proceBB, from which will
yet eventuate the trotter that will trot the mile in two min-
utes; and the indications are that this development of the
trotting-horse will be accomplished in California, as in this
State already are produced tbe superior horses of the turf in
quality and performance. The breeders and sportsmen of
the State are foremost to this great accomplishment.

In the study, care and treatment of dogs for sporting the
true sportsman devotes due attention to each Bpecies better
qualified for the different and particular kind of sport — field
or fen, woods or plain. He learns tbe nature and qualities
of every specie^ their adaptability for every kind of game,
and ascertains the best lines from which to breed. These
are the essentials of the good sportsman. He studieB also to
perfect himself in the natures, habits, and habitats of the
different kinds of game— of the forest and the heather, of
feather and wing, and of fin and scales. He knows the sea-
boub and the haunts of the antlered tribes; of tire wild fowl
and of the game birds he delights in hunting; and of every
speoieB of fine food fish which Bwims. In thid study be ba-
comeB much of a naturalist, and all the better for the ex-
pansion of good nature and ennobling instruction incident to
the enlightening and pleasing theme. He becomes an expert
in the arts of general sporting and in the mechanics peculiar
to the art. He is versed in regard to the best equipment for
every branch of Bporting— aB to the gun und rifle, the pow-
der and cartridge and shot; aB to rod und line, fly and bait;
and as to personal accoutrement for each order of sporting —
in details and particulars. He reads for information upon
every iuventiou aud improvement with reference to the
broad subject, and maintains niaBtery of it from pride and
through careful observance of whatever is the better method
to adopt.

In every field of entertaining literature the genuine snorls-
mau takes pleasure, and is conversant with the history and
manner of sporting in every age; is enabled to note the great
advancement which marks the methods of this period beyond
those of past generations, mainly through tne "excellence of
the modern inventions as to means aud processes — in fire-
arms, tackle and equipment. Sporting cultivates manly qual-
ities—courage, nerve, self-reliance aud presence of mind in
moments ol sudden peril. Tho hunters of wild beats learn
therein the best leBBons of soldiering, aud become aocustomed
to that degree of judgment, prompt action aud coolness in
'he face of danger, which makes the shrewd «*ud intrepid
warrior. In every manner of true sporting there is learned
skill, duxtenty and the better mastery of the temper. The

sport affords recreation and contributes to health. The body
is inured to the exercise which strengthens aud toughens,
and tbe mind is disciplined to activity wrth wholesome vigor.
There is no training in life conmarable to that obtained in
the broad field of sporting; and it is the Bynomym of the
true Bportsman that be is a good man and eEtimable citizen.
It improves and refineB. It developes the better qualities
and adorns the noble attributes of enlightened mankind. It
prompts to adventure, exploration and the more thorough
knowledge of countries and tribes. Aud it all the time
caterB to the enjoyments, comforts and finer appetites of man-
kind, while it causes beneficial improvement in tbe dumb
intelligent animals most useful and most faithful to man, to
perform his service, to add to his pleasures, to delight his
pride and be of profit to him in different ways. In Califor-
nia, all over this coast, as there is a wider range of sporting,
and it is more abundant than in any country, there are more
true sporting men in the ratio of population, who take part
in the pleasures of tbe field and the waters than in any oth-
er; and the breeders of the land are leading in the sports of
the turf. It is all in the line of progress, in the spirit of
excelsior.

. John Leathorn's Coon.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — In John Leathorn's
farm-yard, one moonlight night, dark and shadowy forms
were seen skulking around wood piles, eneakiDg in back
windows, emerging from nowhere in particular, but every-
where in general. Weird and ghostly indeed are their actions.
Now a couple of ghouls are discerned leading a gaunt animal
which one might suppose to be anything but a dog. Soon
another batch of apparent body snatchers, midnight assassins,
or anything else you might call them, skulk with muffled
aod shambling gait, accompanied bjr an uncouth aud night-
mare-causing brute. They seem to be congregating back of
the big wood pile, and the moon's pale rays flash back a glit-
ter from gun. barrel and axe blade, while a whispered consul-
tation, accompanied by ghoulish and unearthly laughter, is
heard.

Great Scott! what is this? A Fenian raid, or burglary, con-
olave of fire bugs, or rebellion?

Gentle reader, if you will follow me into the great barn
where these midnight prowlers have disappeared, the mystery
will be unravelled. But bark? Do you hear that soul-har-
rowing howl, as if a lost demon was being carried to the bow-
els of the earth?
Don't mind such little things as that, hut hurry aloDg.
Gmuped under a single flickering lantern a great crowd of
men and boys are whispering together. A kick is admin-
istered to one of the hounds (for such they are). After an
unusually prolonged and drawn-out bowl (from the hound),
which has alarmed the household, you behold John Leathern
hiniBelf and wife, the first named carefully keeping behind
his worthy spouse, aa required and became the head of the
house, who had to carry the light.

The assembled knights would fain have disappeared, but,
alas, it is too late. The enemy are upon them. The doughty
farmer now discovering his own boys amongst the host,
hastens to the front to uphold the reputation of his race for
bravery, but is violently jerked backward by the good wife,
who brandishes her broom vigorously at the ghouls, aud soon
proves that she has a tongue which she knows very well was
not intended to remain idle.

"Ye guid for naething, idle na'er-do-wells, what on airth
do ye mean by raisin' sich a blather in a decent person's
yaird this time o' nipht? Gin an account o' yonrsels or I'll
larrup ye every one, big and worthless as ye air."

The braves assembled; having each tried to get behind his
neighbor, at last succeeded in shoving the ''guid wife's''
eldest Robert, to the front as spokesm-iu, be being duly ap-
pointed as a committee of one, the others having modestly
but firmly refused to serve.

Robert meekly approaches his mother) and after duckiDg
several vicious oracks at biB worthless skull by his good
parents' broom handle, which swipes if as well aimed as in-
tended, would have been the innocent cause of adding sev-
eral bnmpB to his already fully developed cranium.

"Mother, we gentlemeD, are just about to go on a little
coon huut, as the coons have been eating all your com up.
We made up our minds they (tbecooos) had to be suppressed."
To-night we intend to kill every coon in the country, and
several in the next. So, dear mother, I hope you will'wish
usluok, and have a good supper ready by the time we get
back.

This last was the straw which entirely deprived "dear
mother" of speech. Her rage is great, her disgust supreme,
but regained her (for the first time) lost gift of speech. She
rallies to the charge.

"What on airth will come next. Such a lot of guid for nar-
tbings I niver did see. Big growed up men going on a leetle
ooou hunt; ye ought all to be in bed getting honest rest to be
able to hoe your taters and sich like bonest toil, by the sweat
of your brows, Bae your puir auld faether and mither's gray
hairs can gae down with sorrer to their graives."

A merry twinkle is now observed in the guid man's eve.
He was once a boy himself, and feels for the lads, and comes
bravely to the rescue.

"Hou'tmither, let the puirladsbe; they work hard enough;
we oughtn't to complain. A little air will dae them guid.'
Get into the house with you and get a fire, and get them
some plum duff and eich tixinB for them when they return.
Get on with ye, boys, and next time keep a muzzle on your
'bird dogs' so they won't yowl so loud, and wake the ould
ooman up."

What a cheer went up for the old man who had ouce been
a boy himself, and who, in fact, if he could have got away
with them himself without his spouse knowing, would have
yelled as loud as any of them. All cause for secrecy being
now removed, it is au eager and jolly crowd which issues
from the old barn aud skurries off towards the corn field
alongside the woods, where tbe dogs Keiser, Nigcer and
Cooney, bounds, aud Brandy and Rover, just dogs, are
turned Ioobo.

These dogs, though unknown to fame, aud likewise of
unknown pedigree, two of them at least had been in at the
death of many and many a coon, the hound Cooney being
covered with scars from many u hurd-fought buttle.

The boys scatter out; the dogs search diligently for 6ome
time. At last Cooney'a bay is heurd, and the rest of the paok
of hounds and blood composed ot sheep-dog, "bird-dog,"
hound, terrier, poodle, bull-dog, etc., soon join iu, aud is in
full blast. Although the music was in five different octaves
aud varieties of baHS, alto, soprano and tenor, still what
music that waR to our youthful breasts. How our blood
tingled, and our eyes dunced. Nothing on earth was too
good for us at that particular momeut. What did we'eare
for tumbles over logs and fences, falling into downy beds of
thistles and nettbs, or bruised shins, or cracked beads, or
torn clothes. Simply nothing.

My! what a cba=;e that big coon did lead us, the old hound
never leaving the trail for a second, and always keeping
ahead of the balance of the "noble" pack!

We went through farm after farm, woods after woods, for
about two hours, when more than one-half of the crowd of
starters had fallen back; but at last the leaders yelled,
"Treed! treed!" when we could hear the five different kinds
of barks up a tree; and, getting beneath, we could see his
coonship away up on a limb. One of the best climbers,
Jonathan Mitchell, shinned ap to the limb and dislodged our
enemy, who fell amoDgst the bird-dogs and hounds, fighting
tooth and toe-nail, the less valorous being driven off at onoe,
yelling and howling, but old Nigger got him by the throat,
and after a desperate Btrnggle tossed, him in the air. The
excitement ran extremely high amongst the audience; never
was such jnmping and pulling seen hefore; what howling and
yelling when that coon wbb dead! He was a small elephant.
We got Beven coons that night, but this one was twice as
large as any of the others, and took three times as long to
capture.

On counting noBes after hostilities were declared over, we
found five of the combatants had disappeared aud three of
the dogs had turned tail for home, while the rest were all
bitten in more than one place, one dog having his ear terri-
bly lacerated.

On our return to the farm-house we found lots of "plum
duff and sich other tixin's," whioh soon disappeared in our
youthful anatomies.

Many such nights did we spend in those by-goue days.

Did we really enjoy them more than we do later sports, or
ib the youthful mind more susceptible of keen pnjoyment?

prizes for bench and field merit. The prospects are very
nattering for a liberal prize list under the auspices of the
club.

The members will be invited to vote upon the selection of
six gentlemen to be recommended by the club to bench show
committees as proper persons to judge pointers at shows. It
is intended to have an avowed "pointer man" judge pointers,
if the members so elect. Blanks will be prepared and for-
warded by the Secretary.

Many other matters of importance to the pointer were
discussed and after a very successful meeting it was ad-
journed until Aug. 20th at the same place, when reportB of
different committees will be received.

The report of the treasurer was Tead and accepted, show-
ing the club to be in a prosperous condition financially with
the annual dues for 1SS9, now payable, for which a notice
will be sent.

Membership is increasing rapidly and a cordial invitation
is extended to all lovers of the pointer to become enrolled
before the busy season opeus.

THE KENNEL.

Dog owners are requested to send for publication the earlie&t possi-
ble notices of wbelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths
In tbeir kennels, in all instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dateB and breed.

Mr. J. C. Nattrass (Seattle) has sold to Mr. Eugene J.
Riy (San Francisco) an Irish red setter dog, Shaun Khue,
whelped May ISth, 1839, by Nat. Glencho (Glencho— Maid)
—Red Fanny (Snintl— Magg).

The sale of a red setter to Mr. Roy by Mr. Nattrass noted
elsewhere, strengthens the Roy Kennel materially. He now
owns good dogs from the two notable Red Setter Kennels of
the Coast, those of Mr. Mattrass aud Mr. Truman.

Readers will regret to learn that Mr. D. C. Bergundthal,
of Indianapolis, is walking in the shadow of a great grief,
bis daughter, May, having died a Bhort time ago. The young
ladv was of strong character and marked genius, particularly
in a musical way. and her father, than whom no truer, more
manly man lives, will suffer pangs more bitter than any mere
bodily iutliction.

"Thames Tattler," an English correspondent of Turf Field
and Farm writes: I am pleased to see that Mr. William
Graham's decisions at San Francisco were, on the whole,
well received. I can give my word for it, there is not a
sounder jodge in England than Billy. He is cute to a fault on
dogs, and when you do the gentleman from Belfast there is
only' one other, and he cne trom a reputed warmish quarter.
Mr. Graham is acknowledged here on all handsas having had
an excellent insight into the qualifications of dogs, in fact, he
knows what a perfect animal should be as well as most men."

In Cynopolis, a town of ancient Egypt, instead of muzzling
dogs they used to worship (hem with much pomp and cere-
monv. Annbis, the remarkabls Egyptian dog deity, or "Gen-
ius" "of Doggishness, bad priests and tempies devoted to his
servite; but the members of the particular Executive Com-
mittee of the London County Council which deals with ani-
mals and their diseases, as they affect the public health, evi-
dently have never been to Cynopolis, and look upon Anubis
as a mythological nuisance. The committee has called pub-
blic attention to the fact, or the reputed fact, that in the
first five months in the year twenty-two rabid dogs have been
dispatched in the streets of London ahd they observe that
this circumstance, if fully established, would show that there
ha* been a ■ 'sudden increase" of dog madness in the metro-
polis.

In discussing the comparative merits of English and Ameri-
can bred greyhounds. Dr. Van Hummel, of Kansas City
make this point: "In England for many years past the
greater part of coursing has been done in the inclosed parks.
Now the largest of these parks is 700 yards long by 400 wide.
The hare is shot out at one end and at 80 yards 1< e the dogs
are slipped. The hare is going like a flash, the dog knows it
must be qnick, faBt work or Done. It is now only a flash,
turn or two, kill or escape. Thus these dogs have been bred
for generations entirely for speed. The only dogs patronized
in the stud are those that can laed to the hare. Horse breed-
ing is getting to the same point not only in England, but
in America. Where are your Lexingtons now, since the
short dash races are in voge? No more four miles and re-
pest, but five-eights of a mile dash. No, for the English
dogs we must breed a different rabbit. They don't want any
of those three-mile fellows in the high alttiude of this western
country.

Pointer Club of America.

The recent destruction of Bakersfield by fire has undoubt"
edly given rise to speculation among the members of the
Pacific Coast Field Trial Club as to whether they could find
any accommodations in January. To meet any such
queries, and to give assurance to any doubting ones, we ad-
dressed the President of the Knights of the Trigger, Hon D.
M. Pyle, and also Mr. W. E. Houghton, asking them about
prospects. Mr. Pyle replies a^ follows :

"Bakersfield, July 13, 1SS9.

"We are burned out, but not a bit disheartened or dis-
couraged. Not a house of any kind left on thirteen blocks,
and not a business house in Bakersfield. Leonard's stable
did not born, and the brewery did not burn.

'The leading question naturally is, What will we do for
the trials ? I know of no way but to fix up some large house
near the grounds to be hunted, provide cooks, and board
ourselves. The town will be rebuilt, but perhaps not
enough to accommodate all, We, the Knights, will have a
ta'k over the matter some day soon and see what the pros-
pect is- Our property was insured for §500, I think. I
think birds will be abundant this year. D. M. Pyle."

work for his living and he moves about in the family circle
with an apologetic bearing; but there his subservience ends.
Try to train him to the light but debasing treadmill employ-
ment of turning the wheel that works the mechanism by
which the cream is made into butter, and yon will be sur-
prised to find hew he will learn to distinguish churning day
from the other six, and be conspicious by his absence while
the dairy maid is doing his work.

"A dog's abhorrence uf labor, hard or easy, can not be at-
tributed to laziness, lor he is not at all laz;". All animated
nature shows no more active creature than he. Arouse him
from hiB sleep in the coldest winter night, and call upon him
to accompany you on any mission, and he will bejdelightfd
with the confidence you place in him and shrink from no
discomfort or danger, It is clear to me that his hatred for
toil is due to his innate gentility, and only when he is false
to his natural instincc, and feels ashamed of his lifelong idle-
ness, does he look and act like a loafer. It is not easy to
teach a good dog tricks. He will not take kindly to them,
for they are too much like work to accord with his tastes.
Curs sometimes make good tricksters, but how often have
you seen a Newfoundland or mastiff staud upon his ear or
waltz on his hind legs.

"Well-bred dogs are like Indians. They are at all times
ready and willing to hunt until they drop, or fight nntil thty
die; but the motto by which they seem to be guided is,
'Death before Drudgery.' "

Types of Men and Animals-

From Mr. Houghton comes the following characteristic
note, bristling with aggressive energy:—

Bakersfield, June 16, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The citizens of BaKers-
field appreciate the thoughtful notice of our recent disaster
which appeared in your last issue. We are s-lf sustaining,
but such considerate words and such expressions of confi-
dence do us lols of good and help to nerve those who have
loot heavily up to more vigorous attempts to rehabilitate
themselves. The Breeder and Sportsman has done very
much for Bakersfield, '.and its kindliness is highly estimated.
Everything is confusion yet, but a more cheerful lot of peo-
ple than our residents never lived. Talk about energy. It
is Bimply wonderful what has been accomplished in one
week. Basiness is as lively to-day as it was before the fire.
Everything in the business part of the town will be rebuilt in
brick. No one is discouraged. While we will not be ready
for town accommodations for field trials in January, it occurs
to me that we might have a good "camp out." It would be
something novel and more fun. What do you think of it?

W, E. Houghton.

Mr. Pyle and Mr. Houghton seem to concur in thinking it
advisable for the field trialers to "camp out" in some conven-
ient house near the trial grounds.

For two years Mr. Joe Bassford has wished to live in the
laree house on Section 17, one of the sections reserved for
trial uses. His idea is to secure two or three good cooks, a
waiter or tw% an ample supply of groceries, dry and wet,
aud have meats furnished daily. Tne house is large enough
to accommodate forty or fifty men. Good water is at hand.
Plen'y of stabling is adjacent. The scheme impresses us
favorably, and we shall be pleased to have the opinions of
those who will attend the trials about it. If a majorfty or
manv think well of the plan, the Secretary will arrange the
details.

Death.

Mr. E. W. Briggs has Jost by death a black and white
pointer bitch by Climax — Koberta.

Mr. Geo. T. Allender recently annexed himself to a better
half, and has removed to a fine place near WatBonville with
hie training kennel. His dogs are reported to be well and
doing nicely in good handling.

Word recently came about the Don — Sail pointer sent to
Japan by Mr. Wm. Schrieber. The dog has developed into
a tine looking animal of rarely good full quality and is in uBe
on woodcock. It is mach admired by the circlelof diguitaries
in whose ownership it is. The Japanese seem gifted with
natural aptitude in training all sorts of animals, and if they
go in for sport it is not unlikely that their dogs will be given
unusually good breaking.

land, Ohio.

After deliberate conBideralion and much discnssion, the
Sfonehenge standard for pointers, was declared to be good
enough for adoption by the club, and it was so ordered.
(President Wise offered to supply a $7 50 copy to any one
who applies in time.) Motion made by Mr. Authonv,. sec-
onded by Mr. Heath a<id carried as above.

Dr Rowe has been requested lo furnish written terms un-
der which competition shall be invited for the cup (value
$100) donated to th« clnb by the doctor last February.

The terms will appear in print in an early issue of the
sporting papers.

President Wi=e appointed Messrs. F. R. Hitchcock, J. L.
Anthony, and G. Muss Arnolt a sub-committee to prepare
plans for the distribution of such prizes as may be offered by
and through the Pointer Club for the coming season. A
Produce Stake was discufiBed, intended for puppies whelped

never flags. "There is not one of them that will work if he
can avoid it. The only difference between the well-bred and
genteel dog and the loafer in this respect is shown in the
manner in which they support their idleness. The dog whose
birth and connections entitle him to live without soiling his
paws by labor knows his social position very well, and is not
at all iishamed of the aimless life he leads. On the contrary,
if, as occasionally happens, he is forced to perform some
light task, his whole nature is lowered, and he goes about
his uncongenial occupation in a half-hearted, perfunctory
way, and evinces by his drooping ears and depressed tail that
he keenly feels his degradation, and does not kuow what he
had done to deserve it. He considers that his intelligent
companionship, bis unswerving fidelity and his sleepless
vigilance in protecting his master's properly when the heavier
senses of humanity are steeped in slumber, shoald exempt
him from vulgar toil, and be accepted as Bufflcient return for
his board and lodging. As his owner usually egrees with
him, the dog is not often asked to sacrifice what he regards
as bis birthright.

"The dog of loafing tendencies yieldB not a whit to his
aristocratic brother in his detestation for toil, but he can
not carry off bis idleness with the same air of easy indepen

Written fok the Beeedee and Stoetsman.
In animate nature there are types as distinctive in slmpe
as to feature and resemblance as any in the vegetable kingdom
are in form and coloring and odor. It did not require the
study aud theories of the early philosophers and scholastics
to elucidate this; for they were much cramped in the oppor-
tunity. The school boy of the period knows more about the
lion, the tiger, the camelopard and elephant, of the rhinoceros
and hippopjtamuB, of the bear, 1 opard anil hyena, of all the
terrible wild beaBts of the field and junglts of Asia and of
Africa; of the Arctic and the Torrid zonts, of the wilderne.-ses
of the entire American continent — north and south, and of
the infinite globe, in Bhort; knows much more than the
trinity of greatest ancients — Socrates, Plato and Aristotle —
ever divined of wild brute creation. None of their age of
the world had more conception of the grizzly, which the
Native Sons of the Golden West know all about, than the
hosts of Israel led by Moses and Aaron, had of the cataracts
of the Ganges, or ot North American Indians. Accordingly
those earliest inhabitants, the real original ancients we read
ot in profane hisicry— not therefore ' old cusses" — never dis-
cussed the theoiy ot types in men and beasts, as so many are
doing these days, whether for good or bad, or in spirit of
self-contemplation and egotism, or in that of carping criti-
cism of a rival, with ill-natured remark on everything an
inch high and hour old.

There was some perception in the subject, however, in
the age of Aristotle, for that pre-eminent philosopher and
the founder of learning that has blossomed to ultimate good,
to forecast the idea that in men and animals there are kin-
dred types, leaviog it to the experience and investigation of
future ages to determine whether the prototypes were beasts
or human, and which or whom were the natural consequences.
He seemed to adopt Plato's bipeds, and either clad tne male
species in hair and bristles, and decorated the female in
glossy soft fur or gorgeous feathers, or left all as he found
them, to their tails and brutishness. Aristotle merely ad-
verted to bruteB and remotely tinted at what has hlosbomed
into Darwin's ideal development of man— choose as one will
from among the Simiadai, tfce Cebiaa.-, the Lemurdaj, the
Cynocephalous or the ferocious Troglodytes — monkevs, apes,
cnimpanzees, baboons and gorillas — and in man us he is, in
savage and civilized life there are apparent examples of each
of these, in face, features and natures. So it. may be said
that Aristotle struck a good lead for future philosophers to
follow in. Until Cicero, it appears, no one of prominence
got on the tail of Aristotle. In his boundless ambition to
perfect himself in every language and all the learning that
was in his way, the William M. Evans, of the Rome of his
time, while on his protracted visit to Athens and other seats
of learning in Greece, picked up just enough of Aristolle's
theory of types of men and animals to give acrid zest to his
strong accusation against Piso. Theeldtr Pliny, the Buffon
of his period, was the nig gun among naturalists, but there
is no record that he ever caught on to Aristolle's idea, as
Cicero apparently did. So, fruin Cicero down, through all
the ages, bright and dark aud very much mixed, until the
equally bloody ages which first discovered gunpowder, and
soon after discovered America, dawned to expand the know-
ledge of mankind about geography and wild beats, of sav-
ages and the wealth of new tojtinents; until then not one
dreamed of these in the philosophy of any of the Horatii of all
the Old World.

It was Le Cat and Paruethy, iu the sixteenth century, who
aroused attention to the similarity m types uf mankind and
brute creation. But it was up-hill wurk. They had few
disciples; none that were enthusiastic on the subject. As a
matter uf fact, men had little to learn by copying from
brutes in that age, and the Netherlander — who put Nanniug
K«.pprrzuon to the torture, lasting through weeks, until
exhausted he gave away, as Motley narrates the event,
had won the chainpiuu belt uf blood and cruelty from tin
Duke of Aioa, in invention of atrocities, and as guod as
proved the apt answer of the little girl tu her teacher, that

idea and formulated a theory thereupon. After him canii

Top Figures for a Trotter.

A few days ago tho report came that, Robert Bounnr
had ottered $65, 000 for Axtell, the great three-year-old
trotting stallion, owned by Mr. Williams of Iowa»
who declined tho offar. Since then the statement has
appeared that Robert Steele, of Philadelphia, raised the
iffar to $75, 000, which was likewise refused, and now it is
"tated that Frederick Barry of Chicago, has increased the
$ar to $80,000, but this was also refused by Mr. Wil-
liams. Instances like this sufficiently answer the ques-

tion, "Does it pay to breed trotters?" The easy road to
millions is smoothly paved from the breeding farm
which produces a score, of horses of the kind, and intelli-
gent high breeding will command tae market.

British Yacht Racing.

Since the destination of Lord Dunraven to contest id
American waters with American yachts for the America
cup, through the action of the Royal Yacht Club, who
control in the matter, less interest is taken in the per-
formances of the Valkyrie in sailing against other Brit-
ish yachts in British waters, by people on this side of the
Atlantic, but it is somewhat interesting to note that Lord
Dunraven's costly crafb could stand no chance with the
crack American yachts, the Puritan and the Mayflower,
leaving out of the reckoning altogether the peerless Vol-
unteer, which so easily outsailed the Thistle two years
ago. It happens that, notwithstanding the situation,
Lord Dunraven is still desirous to bring over his yacht
aiid try in friendly contest with the New York Yacht
Club. He will receive hearty welcome and fair play.
But his defeat can be safply predicted. Lately the Yal-
kyrie has been beaten by the Ires and the Yarana, at
home, and these defeats signify tha*". the second and
third rate American yachrs would prove a match for her.
It is mainly in the build, in which America holds su-
premacy of the world — as she has held it since the Amer-
ica gained it in British waters in 1851, and will main-
tain it. The superior skill of American sailing masters
and crews is also to be considered. The America cup
is absolutely American property — to have and to hold
forever.

although to the owners of Maori it was regarded as of
less consequence than the great triumph of beating Ten
Broeck*8 time would have been. The occurrence demon-
strates the importance of absolute accuracy in the timing
watches and the infallability of those who .hold them.
In these days of record-breaking and great performances it
is essential that care be taken to assure against the slight-

Death of Dr. C C Mason.

It is with great sorrow that we have to announce the
demise of Camot Courtland Mason, M. D., President of the
Chico Fair Association, which occured on Monday night
last. There are very few who have visited the annual
fairs at Chico for the past twelve years but what were
acquainted with the gentleman, his earnest work for the
Association commending him to those who were brought
into business relations with the society. His was not
only a local reputation, for in the Masonic fraternity he
was known throughout the length and breadth of the
Suate, and at the last annual meeting of the Grand
Commandery he was elected Right Grand Commander,
in addition to which he was also the Deputy Grand
High Priest of the Grand Chapter Royal Arch Masons.
Dr. Mason has always affiliated with the Republican
party, of which he was an honored member, and for
many years was the Butte County representative on the
State Central Committee. Of a genial disposition, he
endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact,
and there are many in all classes of life that will miss his
cheery smile.

Maori and Ten Broeck's Time.

It is tc be regretted that the timing of Maori in the
one-mile race at Chicago, July 12th, was not accurate,
and that so much difference of opinion waa expressed in
relation to it by others who held tiniiug watches and are
considered careful and practised timers. The official
timers made it 1:39 4-5, or one-fifth of a second above
Ten Broeck's 1:30 J — which has stood since 1877 the fast-
est mile ever run, officially declared, at Louisville — Ten
Broeck then five years old, and carrying 110 pounds. In
the case of Maori, other timers on the track made the
timo vary from 1:39$ down as low as 1:39 1-5 — the elec-
tric timing-clock making it 1:39.}. The difference is im-
portant, as it involves the maintenance of the record to
the credit of Ten Broeck, and if the different timers were
inaccurate, takes it from Maori, who was entitled to it.
Yet the record must stand as proclaimed, and if it is in
Maori to lower it, the performance has still to be made.
It is a )>reat thing for Maori as it is, but the glory of
having beaten the time of Ten Broeck is too dearly cov-
eted by any turfman to uncomplainingly submit to the
inexorable ruling. It is stated that the race was run
under the scale of weights which Ten Broeck carried,
and $1,000 extra was added in the event his record was
lowered. The extra sum was a material consideration,

The Premium List of the State Fair for this year — the
thirty-sixth annual fair of the State Agricultural Society
— is excellent in its arrangement with the view to the
encouragement of the many and varied industries of
California. None are neglected; all are embraced and
receive notice and the measure of help for which annual
fairs are intended.

The sum of $50,000 is appropriated for premiums, and
besides are golc medals, the awards to the more meritori-
ous exhibitions, which enlist a pride not measured by
money; special premiums for articles not enumerated in
the general list, and a special gold medal for the excel-
ling display in the pavilion.

The fair book broadly circulated by the officers of the
society make notification that no entry for exhibition in
any of the departments will be received from any who
are not members, either life or annual, and this is a wise
and essential rule. The inconsiderable payment of five
dollars makes the annual member; life members are
enrolled upon payment of fifty dollars. When it is
appreciated that the payment of five dollars entitles the
person to a temporary membership, during which he is
allowed to enter for exhibition whatever is appropriate
for competition, with the opportunity of the handsome
and valuable medals of gold, of suitable medals of silver
the coin premiums from $3 to $100, and the diplomas—
any of which are, ill degree, testimonials of superiority
or surpassing excellence — the fee of membership will be
accounted reasonable, and none will refrain from paying
it in return for the greater benefits, the award and the
personal satisfaction which inu.es.

Fairs cannot subsist without substance, and Agricul-
tural Fairs are the most beneficial and most gratifying,
pleasurable and compensating to the people. Money is
the substance which is imperatively needed. It must
come from the willing among the people, by contribu-
tion either voluntary and gratuitous or by regulated
means. The State, as agent and dispenser for the people
appropriates a stated amount for annual expenditure,
and the people in their individual capacity, through the
appointed officers of the State Fair and the several
county fairs, take care of all else to the making these
annual fairB successful, with the aid and good services of
the community. As President Green, of the State Society,
remarks in the printed premium list for this year: "The
success of the coming fair depends largely upon the
manner in which the public patronize it. Bear in mind
that it takes money paid in to enable the Board to pay
out premiums."

The president carefully states the rules and regulations
which govern the fair in the exhibition of articles and
awards. Persons who contemplate participation in
these will do well to observe these rules and regulations.
"No entry will be received from any not a member*
application for Bpace must be made to the secretary one
month before the opening of the fair, and exhibitors must
attend to the entering and registry of the articles for
exhibition, with the entry clerk of the particular depart-
ment, by September 9th, or, if for the park, by Septem-
ber 12th; no animal or article can compete in more than
one class, or for more than one premium, unless excep-
tion is made in the schedule; all exhibitors are cautioned
to personally attend to the matter of entry and of allot-
ted place in the fair for their exhibition with tho super-
intendent of the proper department."

Good attention has been devoted by the managers to
the live stock premium list — horses, cattle, sheep and
swine, asses and goats, of the various breeds. In horses
it will make fine competition — by thoroughbreds, stan-
dard trotters, roadstern, coach and carriage horses, fancy
teams, draft horses, horses of all work, and saddle
horses. The premiums are, all through, incentive to
competitorship, and will bring exhibitors from every
part of the State. The year itself is one of enlarged and
better encouragement.

The sales of California bred horses in the East, in the
great New York market, now chief in the whole coun-
try, for pedigrees and performers as well as for prices,
during the present year, have more assured breeders in
California of the large profit there is in the pursuit.
This is to the proof that California is the most favora-ble
State for breeding superior horses.

Climate and soil are alike congenial to the best pro-
duction— for speed, for endurance, and for that entirety
of form, bone, sinew, vital organism ani feet, which
assnres the complete racer, the highest type of trotter,
and the soundest for every purpose.

The Directors of the State Fair could have done no
better work of preparation for the coming event than
that which they have done in the arrangement of the
premiums for all kinds of live stock. Already the indi-
cations are that the State Fair will have throughout the
most numerous attendance ever witnessed — of our own
State people, and of visitors from other Pacific States
and the whole coast, embracing British Columbia and
Mexico; from the countries of the orient and the islands
of the Pacific; from the States eastward and the Cana-
dian Dominion, and from the nations and empires of
Europe; in brief, all the world and his wife will be at
the State Fair in September.

To facilitate communication and accommodate exhibi-
tors .and visitors on this coast, the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company have generously provided the means
and conveniences of transportation. It is oa a plan cf
expedition and reduced expense. Articles for exhibition
will be forwarded from all points free of charge if only
exhibited and not sold; and all fruit for exhibition will
be absolutely free of charge to the exhibitor. The com-
pany make easy rates for excursion trains also, by which
to enable the people to visit the fair. It is a broad and
generous policy, and it will vastly aid to fill up the fair
every day, to gratify the people, and redound to the good
of the State. The company has done nobly.

Letter from "Ab" Stemler.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Tours of the 12th
duly received, but I have been so busy getting thiDgs into
shape since my return, that an answer has been neglected
until now. I had a most pleasant trip, saw the Suburban
aod American Derby. The increased interest in racing is
something wonderful. At Chicago, Brewster Bent 21,000 sin-
gle tickets out to the track, Derby Day thinking that would
be sufficient. They gave out before 1 o'clock, and the offi-
cers were compelled to stand outside the gates aud take the
money which came in shovelfulls. It was estimated that
40,000 people viewed the Derby. ValueB in race horecs show
a remarkable gain in the past few years, an animal that
would not briug S1500 a few years ago, can be sold for nearly
as many thousand now. Racing has a great hold on the peo-
ple, aud the associations are getting wealthy, still at the same
lime will do everything to accommodate the horsemen. If
you rind you are outclassed in the big events, they will make
up "overnight" races, adding $1000 to any kind of a race.

No purses are now given at Monmouth less than $1,000.
These are '"free" purses. The new organization at West-
cbeBter will giye no free purse less than 32,000.
i- The gTeat value of stakes run for, offers sufficient induce-
ments to guarantee honest racing. The jockey's fees are
getting so valuable as to warrant them in doing straight work;
then again, the class of men that are getting into racing pre-
cludes the last shadow of doubt as to then motives. They
are the class that run their horses for the noble sport there iB
in it, and not as a matter of strictly business, as in other
walks of life. Then again, the vast nenetit to be derived in
the hereafter for breeding purposes is more potential than is
money.

No, there is little or no jobbing of any kind at theBe big
meetings. The patronage they receive insures this, as the
public are not fooled very long in this business.

The "bookies" are not reaping a very rich harvest this
year, as the betting public now make a study of the perform-
ences of starters, aud are as able to jadge as the smartest of
"bookies" at Monmouth. These are from 60 to 75, and they
make "Home howl," I tell you.

Racing is a fascinating and growing sport, and when con-
ducted properly is a most pleasant pastime. What a great
place San Francisco would be for a race meeting if the proper
funds aud management were available?

I will close byigiving you a list of horses in training.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Roadster Again.

Editor Btkeder and Sportsman :~Permit me a little of
your valuable space — not to use a column without any point,
but first to ask Folio to come out of cover and show himself;
next to ask him not to put expressions to me that I do not
use. 1 Baid nothing about breeding dunghill to dunghill.
Keep within the bounds of courtesy, and next to that "aw-
ful blunder'' that the Board made in not making the re-
striction that Folio would make — 1 will not quote, as it is too
scattering and long drawn out.

«The Board doubtless thought that Borne breeder might en-
deavor to breed up by using a thoroughbrarl, another by a half
thoroughberd, some one an Orloff, another a Cleveland Bay,
and another the "Standard" horse, and they left the roadBter
class free to all of those and more, that they may enter the
results in competition. The premium list iB not to cramp
breeders to one idea, but to stimulate various ones, and let
success demonstrate the best. There are nine rules under
which horses may be registered standard.

The Board does not restrict entries for premiums to those
competent under one of those rules — breeders have been try-
ing to breed roadster various ways. I do not think the science
is nxed enough that the Board Bhould by a restriction confine
breeders of roadsters to one rule, or be barred from competi-
tion for the State's premiums.

The Standard class has as long a list of chanceB as any class
in the world. They ought to be satisfied, and I believe all
but a very few are. G. W. HANCOck.

When Fred Capp was selling Glenwood Prince, at Cam-
bridge City. Col , says an Exchaoge, Edmonson had a nice
little talk over the remarkable fellow. When the price hung
at $2,000 he said: 'Gentlemen, this is not half price for a
four-year-old who got a mark of 2:34 la^t year; he will trot
low down in the twenties this year, and $5,000 would be low
price; be can serve forty mareB at $50 this spring, and win
himself back on the turf this fall." When some one whisper-
ed to the colonel that be was a gelding the Kentucky gentle-
man was more than embarraBsed.

Pacific Coast Trotting Association.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Your letter and circu-
lars of recent date, in reference to organization of a State
Trotting Association, were received.

At a meeting of Directors of District No. IS, held since re-
ceipt of said circulars, I presented your letter and circulars to
the Board. The proposition to form a State Trotting Associ-
ation was favorably received.

My own opinion iB Btrongly in favor of the organization
you propose. It would admit of more systematic effort in
connection with the whole subject of trotting, and of trotting
horses, than is now possible.

The following citizens of Inyo County will be likely to take
an interest in your proposed movement — viz., Robert O'Neal,
Bishop; David Olds, Round Valley; I. H. Molholland, Inde-
pendence; W. S. Euos, Independence; Guetave Sanger and
Ed. Crocker, Big Pine. Vours respectfally,

C. Mulholland, Sec Agricultural District, No. 18.

Independence, Inyo County, Cal., July 8, 18S9.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I am in receipt of your
circular on the subject of forming a Pacific Coast Trotting
Association, and note that you ask for a personal opinion on
the same. Personally, then, I will say that I do not take
kindly to there being so many "parent" associations; one
fountainhead and then several districts, if necessary, but all
reporting to the one place would seem tome to be the proper
thing. ' I regretted very much to see the formation of the
"American Trotting Association" as against the National, end
the formation of the "Pacific" would simply demonstrate that
every community could set up for itself, ad libitum. Older
and wiser heads will doubtless address you at length. Very
truly, Francis Pope.

Helena, Montana, July 8, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Having been solicited
to give my views upon the feasibility of a seperate Trotting
Association for this coast, and the severance of our connec-
tion with both the American and the National, I beg leave to
say that I am certainly in favor of such movement.

1st. The great distance that lies between us and the East-
ern States renders a quick decision upon a mooted question
impossible.

2nd. It is unreasonable to Buppose that a body of men
3,000 miles away, with complaints by the score from every
quarter of the "United States, could or would arrive at the
"true inwardness" of a complaint with the accuracy of a
home Board.

3rd. We pay considerable tribute to the two Eastern As-
sociations that in some respects are unnecessary and in oth-
ers quite absurd. As an instance of this I may say that in
the fee of S50 exacted by the Eastern Associations for chang-
ing the name of a horse is ridiculous. What reason can be
urged for this BtifF figure I am unable to imagine. A fee of
five or ten dollars would answer the purpose quite as well,
and would be enoogh. I am in favor of a home Association,
and think that everything is favorable to such a change,
and that nothing of consequerce can be urged agaiust it.
I am sincerely,

The Story of Axtell.

Four years ago Mr. C. W. Williams, of Chicago, but now
of Independence, Iowa, had four mares which he wished to
breed to first-class stallions so he put them on the cars and
they were shipped to Kentucky. Arriving at Lexington the
mares were sent to a livery stable and Mr. Williams began
looking about him, for the very best stallions, standing in
the neighborhood.

After looking them all over carefully he selected William
L. owned by "George Wilkes" Simmons, as the proper mate
for his mare Lou by Mumbrino Boy. Another of the Maia-
brino Boy mares was sent to the embrace of Jay Bird, while
a third one was conveyed to the harem of Onward. The
result of all this careful calculating is three horse colts. As
yet only two of them have bud a chance to show what they
can do, but the performances of the pair prove that the judg-
ment displayed by Mr. Williams wm of the best. Axtell,
2:\5h, and that repeated twice within a few days, stamps
the ton of William L. its being a phenomenal colt. However
a secoad of the produce need not be sneezed at, for Allerton
by Jay Bird, has also shown to the world that he is endowed
with great speed, lor on the ^ame day that Axtell broke the
record, this one carried off the first money in a field of all
ased horses, getting a record of 2:24J. The Onward colt is
still to hear from, bnt sorely Mr. Williams most be satisfied
with the honors already gained, for the fortunate possession
of two such colts as the above is credit enoogh for any one
person, unless he desires to own the earth. Mr. Williams,
it may be stated. ha3 placed a price on his horse, and he says
no one can buy him lessthau S100.000.

Subscriber.

The question respecting the breeding of "the Sawyer
horse" has elicited the following from Mr. Tyler Beach of
San Jose:

I notice in your issue of the 13th inst. an inquiry as to
the breeding of a stallion known as the Sawyer horse. We
knew him very well here, aud know something of his breed-
ing He was sired by Stockbridge chief; first dam, San Jose
Belle; second dam by Bed Bill, third dam unknown here.
San Jose Belle by Easton's David Hill.

And also the following:

"Tour correspondent W. P., in issue of July 13th, wishes
to know pedigree of Sawyer horse. If it was the one I knew,
he was called Sawyer's Hambletonian, and was by Whipple's
tlambletonian, and his dam was Old Diana by Vermont
Hambletonian. He was bred by Stephen Whipple at San
Mateo, and was sold to Mr. Leander Sawyer, who resided
near San Mateo. Mr. Sawyer owned another stallion, but I
think this Hambletonian is the one inqnired after. If your
correspondent is Mr. Wilfred Page, please give him my
address and I will furnish him further information.

the discordant utterances of .vicious"«jna,'le vole nee and men-
acing ejaculation, but to tli&^jl'Visb of his theory.

Fuibwiug Lavater h&v<rflome Others, different in the exact
pseudo-science in det*iV.Set* similar in ultimate hearings'
From physio gnoftryjyw proceeded craniology, or phrenolo-
gy, as it is now lb-r.tu.il . It treats of heads rather than faces.
The dejAQeatfqg and distinguishing types exist, describe and
make, kdovn" all there is in the theory. Gall and Spurzheim
, jjrohitil^a'ted the later idea; to Coombs it owes its universal
'/.spread and introduction. Fowler and Wells and numerous
' followers have since, within the last half oentury, pervaded
the world with it. But what good comes of it? After all,
the best that can be done with either physiognomy or phre-
nology is to entertain audiences and tickle individuals with
the praises of their features and bumps, of their virtues
and their powers, of their shining qualities and remarkable
prowess, and all that. The costly charts are written out; the
subject goes away a fresh flushed biped. The "professor"
haB given him a new grand diploma, wonderful in its de-
scriptions and altogether amazing. Eat it is similar to a
speil-mark; no one will regard it as of any value. It fells of
brilliant intellect, great force of character, extraordinary
nerve, captivating presence, manly qualities, charming con-
versation, etc., etc. As a fact, the putfed-up is of the type of
Tittlebat Titmouse, or of the little fyse that annoys all, ever-
lastingly barking and showing its teeth, but quick to run aud
hide at the sight of one of Lindo's catchers-up of vagabond
canines.

There is, however, a sound basis of doctrine or belief in
t his matter of types of men and animals, connate and similar.
There are the types leonine and elephantine, of tiger and
jackal, grizzly ant coyote, wolf and skunk, bull-dog and
chipmunk, mastiff and hare, greyhound and weasel, terrier
and turn-spit, blood-honed, poodle and pug. These types
are found in men and in women. Human nature is fully
marked with them. It requires neither the siudy oi physi-
ognomy to point out tbe types and Bynibols. nor the feeling
of bumps to find the setnoLince. The skilled observer is a
better authority than the professional "professor," who is
oftentimes a fraud.

To estimate the individual according to the animal of
which his face is tbe type, will generally be found correot, if
not unerring. Infirmity or aecideat may cause erroneous
estimate, but rarely will ic otherwise fail. The marks aud
points are as trustworthy in animals. Borne men are gifted
iu this order of observation, discrimination and jadginent.
They are the sagacious among men, tbe keenest Hud skilled
of the turf, the expert in hunting dogs, good judges of ani-
mal natures and qualities.

This faculty is not a science, it is natural endowment.
It can be cultivated and improved by application, but it can-
not be thoroughly taught or imparted, and only with thoBe
naturally gifted does it develop to much effect. It enables
the possessor of the faculty fairly and with considerable
accuracy to estimate the nature of the person, or of an ani-
mal— especially of the two moat intelligent of domesticated
qualities, and of which men make companions, as it were —
the horse and the dog. In this respect the gift is valuable,
but it is not a science, and cannot be learned by art of teach-
ing. Professors who profess to teach it are humbugs. As
well essay to teach the dumb to speak and the deaf to hear.

Distemper at Shows and How to Prevent It.

Sir Everett Millais, R. A., famous as a painter and also dis-
tinguished as an all around sporteman of rare ability, has
g T3n considerable thought to the oausation of and prjj hylai-
tics against that peculiarly malignant distemper which too
often runs riot through the puppy classes at dog shows. In
his opinion there is probably not a single exhibitor or breed-
er who has not made acquaintance with the disease either
by personal loss after showing in a class provided for pup-
pies, or having shown has brought the disease back to his
kennels. He thus yearly pays the heavy penalty for having
ventured to exhibit once, owing to the fact that the kennels
have become infected, and try as he may he cannot rid of it,
We cannot shut our eyes to tbe plain, unvarnished truth,
that the annual death-rate in puppies is enormous, and in-
creases instead of diminishing. That year by year we lose
the best of our young stock, and that the very shows which
have as their basis the improvements of our breeds, whilst
doing what was originally intended, on the other hand piuk
off our best and decimate for the time the breeder's kennels
of its young stock.

Mr. Millais believes that the time has arrived when ex
hanstive consideration should be given to the cause or
causes of distemper since upon those questions depends the
action as to precautions and safe guards against the disease.
Unhappily upon this point an enormous amount of unreas-
oning belief is brought to bear. Were it better understood
by the general run of the puhlio who exhibit at our annual
shows, we should hear less of distemper, and long ere this
steps would have been taken to guard against its unwelcome
intrusion. But as it iB not in the power of the masses to ob-
tain this knowledge, and it mnst therefore be secured and put
into form to reach popular comprehension by specialists,
either through analogies from observations upon human sub-
jects, or through special studies upon distempered dogs in
infirmaries. It has now become practically impossible to ex-
hibit puppies at any of tbe large shows without getting the
disease and taking it borne to the kennels. A bitter experi-
ence has taught so much to exhibitors, that puppy classes
have come to be looked upon with disfavor and are miserably
supported. Distemper, Mr. Millais affirms, "is nothing less
thau one of those diseases which come under the class known
as zymotic, and without for tbe moment entering into tbe
paiholoeical side of the question, can affirm from my own
knowledge of the subject, which any competent veterinary
surgeon will bear witness to, that distemper, as wj call it, is
due to a peculiar poison, which having once found entrance
into tbe BjBtem of the dog, causes by its action a Bpeoitio
fever."

He is nndoubtedly correct in his hypothesis, although tbe
specific germ which gives rise to the trouble has not as yet
been segregated. If the fever of distemper could run its
natural course, it would nut produce the extraordiuanlv high
death rate which arises from it. Unhappily distemper brings
in its train a series of complications, some one of which death
generally follows. Spontaneous generation of tbe Bpooitic
virtiB of distemper in the living body iB impossible and for
that reason all so-called nostrums professing to insure im-
mjnity from tbe disease are worthless fur the purpose for
wbich they are sold, although some of them do palliate the
Pri verity of the trouble when it has developed.

The authoritative professional dictum as to uon-spontaniety
rhould be generally accepted aud nhould remove at ouce and
r all time the commou belief that bad feeding, fear or ex-
crement can give rise to distemper, although it is well to
keep in mind, that all of them may predispose to the recep-
tion and cultivation of the virus,

1

Distemper can only result from a living animal being
brought into the presence of the disease, for the virus spoken
of is nothing less than a living mioro-organism, either of an
animal or a vegetable uuture. Its seed is sown by diseased
animals, and reaped in those in which it has found a soil
suitable for its cultivation. So exhausting does this first
crop appear to the ground on which it is reared, that very
seldom do we And a seoond, and it iB for this reason, that we
rarely meet with a second attack of distemper after the first.
Distemper stands in the same category as measles, small
pox and like diseases.

If you expose a puppy suffering from this disease or re-
covering, you cause an outbreak at once in those for the
time being living aud breathing in the same atmosphere.
Why is this bo? The living seeds of the disease are given
forth by the suffering animal — they float in the air — they are
Bpeedily inhaled again by the previously healthy, in whose
air passages, &c, the germs find a suitable field for their
reprodutiinn, and this they do at such an incredibly rapid
rate that we soou have from the origiual germs inhaled blos-
soming-plants, more puppies down with distemper, and fresh
victims in the future.

Nor is exposure to contact with a dog whioh is Buffering
from distemper absolutely necessary, to infect other animals.
Experience shows that the germs can be brought thither
by an old dog; emanating from an infected kennel, it may
be carried in the hound-glove, in the dog-basket, by man
himself on his own person and contact with fencing and
kennels used by diseased animals. In fact, the disease may
be imported by any living or dead object that has come in
contact with it, excepting those which are deadly to the liv-
ing germ.

Still another cause for the enormous spi'ead of distemper
at recent shows may possibly be found in the practice wbich
has recently arisen of having the dogs benched on portable
benches, which, with feeding vessels, etc., are taken down
and removed for use in other shows, some benching being
thus continually in use There is no doubt that thorough
disinfection of the portable benches would destroy all germs
of disease, but nothing less than the most thorough applica-
tion of germicides should be enforced. That benches and
feeding dishes can carry contagious matter has been demon-
strated by Mr Millais, who inserted spiculae of wood in the
nostrils of distempered puppies, aud then placed the splin-
ters in a shed, such as would ordinarily be used for the
storing of benching "when not in use. Some of the pieces of
wood were left untouched; some were merely wiped, and
some were thoroughly disinfected. It was impossible to
communicate distemper from the disinfected splinters. A
month after the splinters were placed in the shed distemper
■was produced by contact with those which had been merely
wiped, and two months after, the disease resulted when the
unwiped splinters were placed near puppies.

The experiment is conclusive, and should insure the ut-
most care on the part of bench show clubs to have the
benching immac.ilately free from the spumings of dogs pre-
viously shown upon it.

The question of inoculation for distemper is one which
should be given prominence. If, as Mr. Millais and others
believe, the germ can be cultivated artificially, theve seems
ground for the belief that by inoculating puppies while in
health the disease can be produced under such conditions as
to insure its control, and that the proposed system will op-
erate to prevent a second attack there can be little doubt.

It is practically impossible to formulate any rule which
can operate to exclude all diseased dogs. Even when exhib-
itors are perfectly honorable the puppies which they exhibit
and which show, even to keen professional eyes, no evidence
of disease, may nevertheless carry with them tbe virus. Per-
haps a sufficient rule would be to exclude puppies from
shows. If such a rule is not made, the good sense of exhibit-
ors will undoubted soon operate to make them withhold
entries of all young dogs of the least worth.

by keeping just under it. On the second dip the tail went
into the pursuer's mouth, and there was an end of the flyer.
It always struck rue that it seemed a strain on the fish to
keep the wings extended-

CATTLE.

Ab a practical issue for cattle growers a further decrease in
cattle supplies seems to be desirable. Every cattle owner
should appoint himself a committee of one to devise ways
and means to reduce the available supplies. He should con-
sider his own herd with a view to cutting it down in quantity
and increasing it in quality. If he does not, if we all do not,
who can tell the length of time required by nature's laws to
do this very thing?

A reasonable reduction in numbers conpled with careful
selection, is a good policy for each individual cattle raiser to
pursue on his own account. The idea is to relieve tbe market
just as soon as possible and to prevent an accumulation
around the gates of the markets. When a man spays a
heifer he does a good thing, when he sells a calf to a butcher
he does better, when he reserves his steers and sells his cows
to the canners he does as well as he can for to-day and holds
the best stock for the future. Withfl a large herd there are
ways to decrease production without much present loss, and
with a small stock it is much easier. The general-rule in
time of prosperity is to raise the young stock and sell the
old, to-day the programme should be reversed. Let every
stockman appoint himself a committee of one to decrease
cattle production on his own estate, and he will find means
to benefit himself and the industry at large.

The Loco "Weed.

ROD.

Contrary to expectation, the fishing along Marin County
shore on Sunday last was very poor.

Reports say that the largest catch in the vicinity of Tibu-
ron did not weigh over rive pounds.

It is expected that the weather will modify during the next
few days and that good fishing may be expected in the near
future.

Stanley PoBt, the veteran fisherman, has just returned from
a trip to Mendocino County, and reports excellent trout
fiBhing in nearly all the creeks up there.

A party of athletes belonging to the C. A. A. C. intend
going to Tiburon to-morrow, and the one catching the larg-
est number of fish will receive a prize.

The Plight of Flying Fish.

The Bioiogical Society, of Washington, has devoted much
study to the babitB of the fiyiug fish, end especially as to
their manner of flight, but without satisfactory determination.
The following testimony from a voyager who seems to have
had an unusual opportunity for investigation, is lucid and
convincing, and therefore valuable in setlling tbe question un-
der examination. The writer sajs: "An exoelleut opportunity
of observiug bow flying fish fly was afforded me during a six
days' calm lately when crossing the Bay of Bengal. I watched
day by day some hundreds rise under the bows of the ship.
Tbe water surface was a glassy calm. As eaoh fish rose it
spread its wings at onoe, apparently beating tbe surface with
them two or three Btrokes tefore they steadied out. I say ap-
parently, for it was not a definite beat so much as a struggle
to rise. The tail wbich, of course, udder water was iu rapid
motion to escape from the ship, now gave ten or a dozen
rapid beats, which could be counted by the ripples on the
still Burface, and tbe fish was off in ferial flight.

Ab each fish lost the impetus of the first rise wbich gener-
ally happeued at about forty yards, the binocular showed us
the anal fins, which had till now been fully extended, droop-
ing to feel the water. As soon as the surface whs felt the tail
was introduced and five or six smart stokes, also indicated by
ripples, brought the impetus up again and carried the fish
about another thirty yards, wheu auother droop Bout it on
again, and so forth, some of tbe older fiHh traveling in this
way 400 lo 500 yards. Tbe youuger fish frequently fell
awkwardly in this attempt to regain impetus. When waves
are running it requires a clever fish to gain impetus by a few
jndioious strokes on the crest of a wave, and many a lish tum-
bles over in the attempt.

I once saw a fish rise close to the ship's quarter, and it
flew parallel with the ship, pursued below by a dolphin or
bonita. The latter followed every sway of the flying fish,
keep almost under it. At the first dip of the tail the pursuer
made a dart forward, but missed it and again dogged its prey

The loco, or crazy weed, jb supposed to make horses and
cattle crazy. We recently had a letter from a correspondent
who Baid his horse was crazy from eating loco weed, i'rof.
L E. Seyre, of the Kansas university, says of the weed: "So
fully have I been impressed with the non-poisonous proper-
ties of the drug, that I have tried the effect of concentrated
solutions of it upon myself. Commencing at first cautiously
with a dose of fifteen minims every three hours. I have in-
creased it from a tablespoonful to two tablespoonfnls (corres-
ponding to one once of the drug). This dose, although re-
peated, at short intervals, produced not even the slightest
effect upon the nerves, upon the pupil of the eye, and not
much other than a stimulating effect npon the stomach and
circulation. Similar experiments with the solution of the sup-
posed crude alkaloid as prepared by Dr. Otts were made. A
tablespoon of this solution gave not the least evideuce of
narcotism, although several times repeated. I do not but
forward these results as showing conclusively that this weed
is not poisonous to horses aud cattle. The subject needs
further study and close inspection, and is one the state of
Kansas can well afford to spend money upon to seenre the
same."

Developing Heifers.

Few among even experienced farmers realize the import
ance of the treatment which a heifer with her first calf re
ceives during the first few months of her milk production
says a bulletin of the American Devon Cattle Club The
influence of this pariod of milking on her after career' is im-
portant, and should be carefully noted by every brfeder of
general purpose animals. The nsual method with men who
keep common grade stock for dairy purposes is to turn the
young heifer loose in tbe herd with a bull running at large
so that she very soon becomes pregnant. With the breeder
of blood cattle this procedure is only modified by the foot
that the bull is often kept in an enclosure. Tbe desire to
secure a rapid increase of progeuy induces the owner to let
the young cow take bull very soon after dropping her calf
I he effects of this trentni-nt will be inauife.-t after a moment's
reflection. Before the processes of lactation have been fully
developed a second process is introduced into the system of
the heifer, and that second process is adverse to the produc-
tion of milk. The energies of the cow are turned to tbe
growing of the young call which she is now carrying in its
hrst stages. How intense this new direction of the vital
forces is, let any oue learu from the lesson of the like prooess
in the human subject. Iu fnrtb>r confirmation, let"' every
farmer recall the rapidity with wbich his cows fail in milk
after the procesB of gestation has well set in.
Oue great secret of the development of a heifer for the dairv
nsists in putting off the returu of progeny for a period o"f
it less than four mouths aud better -for six months after tbe
birth of Erst calf. This leaves all the enereies of the cow
free to spend themselves in milk production Wheu u heifer
hrst comeB to her milk, tbe milk glands which constitute the
udder are in an undeveloped condition. With these as with
all other organs, growth is stimulated by use Everything
should be doue now to secure nu nbuudaut and proiouned
flow of milk. If the udder should be congested aiul bard it
is better to let the calf suck the cov for a period sufficient to
seotire a perfeotly healthy condition at IhU point. Dunni;
this period the mother should have stimulating fond If the
udder is well from the start sbs should have nothing more
stimulating than wheat bran in moderate quantity We have
seen valuable heifers permanently deprived of part of the
mlder by failure to observe the necessity of seen riug perfect
freedom from inflammation, and from traces of hardness be-
fore beginning to fred grain.

While the calf Books the cow, care must be taken to draw
away every drop of milk not taken by the calf, and as soon

*6 the udder is in perfect order, let the calf be weaced or re-
moved to another mother. It will be fortunate for the future
of the heifer if she has dropped her young just before grass
time. Th b ib the chief argument for arranging matters so
that cows come in during April and May. The flush grass of
the early season is just the food for our purpose. With this
give a good dash of wheat bran, and after a while, a mix-
ture of wheat b^an, corn meal, and gluten or linseed oil meal,
UBing judgment based on careful observation of the milk
increase by daily weighing. Oats may be substituted for com
meal. A good mixture is in the proportion of two pounds
corn meal or oats, two gluten or linseed oil meal, four of
wheat bra d. The feed may rise from four pounds to eieht
par day, according to apparent need. Be sure yonr heifer
has abundant good grass and clear water. Watch her close-
ly, spare no pains, for this is a critical period. Delay the
test of your heifers for butter from week to week, as long as
the weight of milk continues to increase. When it seems to

have reaohed its maximum, spread out your milk well in
shallow pans, at a temperature as near aB possible to sixty
degrees and see how much butter you can make in a week.*
We know of a heifer with her first calf, a three year old, that
has been milking about six weeks, and is now giving under
this treatment, thirty-five pounds of milk per day and Beeins
not to have reached her limit. Another heifer illustrates the
result of early pregnancy. She had dropped her calf and had
been brought to giving twenty-five pounds of milk per day,
with promise of much greater yield, when she was acciden-
tally served by a bull before the herdsman noticed that she
was in heat. Her milk began to droo immediately and no effort
has sufficed to briug back her flow. Th;s case was ag-
gravated by an inflamed condition of the udder and loss of
apr etite for the period, which made a temparary reduction of
feed necessary. But though the cow is now in perfect con-
dition no efforts Becure a return of the milk. She is making
a calf and that ends her development for this year- Another

year will be begun under the disadvantage of this precedent,
but with care it may not be too late to secure gratifying re-
sults. In any case, we do not believe this cow will do what
she would have done but for her mishap. In general tbe
practice of having dairy cows served soon after dropping
their calves is a bad one. It tends to establish the habit of a
short milking period, as well aB diminished How. Once in a
fnll year should be considered often enough for a milker lo
bear a calf and for younger cows once iu from fourteen to
sixteen months. Older cowb that may be considered fully
developed and of established habit, cows eigbt or ten years of
age, may, if their calves are of great value, be put to rapid
breeding; and if any cows are to be used for sucking calves
these should be selected. For the rest, calves may suck oows
that are about to be dried, provided tbe milkman makes sure
that their udders are thoroughly emptied.

■■Gentlemen:- We have used Ossidine for the past two years
and consider it invaluabla for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone
and Spavins; there is nothing equals it; and for us it effected a
permanent cure where firing failed, although perfo med by one of
the most successful veterinarians on the continent. We have
recouimendadit to others with like success, and believe it has
more merit than anv blister ever used.

WALLA WALLA, W. T., July 1, 1889.

SELBY SMELTING AND LEAD CO., San Francisco, Cal.

Sirs: During the last two or three years I have used several thousand of your Stand-
ard Cartridges, for both 10 and 12 gauge Guns, in sizes of shot ranging from 8's to 4's, and
I must confess that I never have used ammunition in a shotgun that gives such entirely
satisfactory results as the Standard Cartridges made by you. Being skeptical as to
quantity and quality of the ammunition used in these, cartridges, but more particularly
anxious to know -whether wads were ALWAYS firmly and squarely seated on powder, I
have often cut open these shells, and every one has revealed, plain as day, that one shell is
the exact counterpart of the other, and in my humble opinion your Standard Cartridges are
the very best loaded shells I have ever seen, while comparison with other makes only fur-
ther confirms my belief.

It would have pleased you to have heard the unbounded praise bestowed on your Cart-
ridges at the recent Tournament at Tacoma, where they were almost exclusively used. The
scores made there, especially on live birds, will prove all that I claim for them. Judging
from the 10's and 1'2's, I feel quite confident that the 10's are just as good, and I shall blaze
away a good many hundreds of them in my little Parker this Summer at doves.

Yours, very truly,

ARTHUR W. DuBRAY, "Gaucho.'

SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1889.

SUBSCRIPTION
FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR.

Pleasanton Stock Farm Co.

Grim had a long standing engagement with Mr. Salisbury
to visit the stock farm and track at Pleasanton on the 13th,
but owing to a sudden illness he was confined to his bed,
and even the ubiquitous and irrepressible Grim could not be
in his bed and in. Fleaianton at the same time; so I was
deputed to make the trip instead of him, and at 8:30 on Sat-
urday morning the writer joined Mr. Salisbury, his little
daughter and Col- Thornton at the loot of Market street, and
we were soon under way, time passing rapidly with reminiscen-
ces of Director and other mighty heroes of tbe trotting world,
interspersed with racing gossip, for Col. Thornton, though
he breeds and is training a few trotters, is much more closely
connected with the turf, and entertains great hopes of next
year seeing his black and orange in the van iu some of the
crack two-year-old races of the East; but revenons a nos mou-
tons, we started out with trotting intentions. Mr. Salisoury
has been an owner and breeder of trotters for years, known
all over the trotting world as the owner of Director, Monroe
Chief and other equine heroes, and therefore his opinion
always carries weight whenever and wherever expressed.
On the question of over draws or not he is deoidedly in
favor of continuing them, but not to the extent chat some
people use them. All his horses are checked up, but not
tightly. With regard to yearling and two-year-old training,
Mr. Salisbury does not favor it, except to the extent that colts
should be educated when young and then given a chance to
grow and harden before being put to fast and severe work.
His great object is to raise from his peerless black, Director,
and some of his invaluable mares, a horse that will lower all
records. He justly says that apart from tho honor even of
owning and raising a horse that can trot inside 2:10, instead
of 2:30, there is much more money in it, even if yon only
have one such, than there is in putting a hundred in the
thirty class. He is of the opinion, and justly so, that in
Director he has the purest gaited trotter in the world, and
that when mated with mares with a thoroughbred founda-
tion he naturally infers that the produce ought to possess
both pace and stamina in the highest degree.

On our arrival at Pleasanton we were met by J. H. Neal,
the Secretary, and Andy McDowell, the well-known trainer.
Andy is looking as well and confident as ever, and as he
drove me to the track, only about four hundred yards from
the depot, he was wonderfully eulogistic about his chance of
bringing back the Spirit of the Times stakes with Margaret S.

PleaBantonis happily Darnel, for it is beautifully situated
in the most productive and prettieBt section of the Liver-
more Valle}-. It la well protected from the Bay fogs and all
the attendant evils by the Coast Range, while tbe Mount
Diablo Range equally well wards off the dry, searching north
winds. The soil is the most productive in the State, grow-
ing anything wished for without resorting to artificial means.
The race track is made from the natural soil, which is a mix-
ture of clay and sand, soft and elastic, without a sign of rocks
or pebbles, and haying a substratum of quicksand, which
dries the track rapidly in winter and keeps it cool in sum-
mer. The first quarter is alow, particularly so, being very
much up-hill, but the last half counterbalances it, being very
fast.

It was quite a gala day ou the traok. Upwards of a score
of buggies and carriages were hitched up, and a small crowd
congregated in hopes of seeing something fast, for all knew
that Saturday was Andy's working day, and without giving
us time to look round, he got up behind Direct (three-year-
old, 2:23) the four-year-old son of Director (2:17) and Echora
(2:23); the game little black looked as tit and well as could
be expected so early in the season, and though he has
grown very little since last year, he has thickened out and
looks more like his sire every day. Gold Leaf 2:15, (Sidney
— Fern Leaf), one of the last year's crack three-year-old
paoer, who has also improved and grown a good bit, looking
gamer and sturdier than when I saw her last, was brought
out to work with the black, and after scoring up a few
times, Direct, on the inside, cut out the pace, and, going easy
round the turn, passed the half in 1:16. There the pacer
closed up, and getting the stallion on his mettle, he went
tbe last half in 1:03, the full mile 2:24, with the pacer going
easy. Lilly Stanley, 2:17£, by Whippleton, was put into
the sulky, and with tbe roan pacer (who, by tbe way, is a
full brother to little Brown Jug, 2:ll$,)-as a teaser, trotted a
fair mile in 2:24J. She does not show any signs of lameness,
but seems to have lost a little of her pace, possibly because
she has been bred (to Director). Direst and Gold Leaf came
out aaain, and, going off fast, went to the quarter in 35£ and
slowed up a trifle, passing the half in 1:12$ coming
home like a whirlwind, the last half in l:07f, with Gold Leaf
at his neck, going well within herself. The full mile was
done in 2:20, and had it not been for the pace cut out in the
first quarter against the collar, he would undoubtedly have

come home faster. Homestake, a slashing looking seven-
year-old bay gelding by Gibraltar 1185 out of Kate by
Volunteer was brought out by Miller, woo has charge
of him and will probably campaign him thi'ough. the
circuit, his hocks look as sound as a bell since Dr. Bow-
hill fired him, and Miller has persuaded him to trot
fast and not leave his feet, several of our crack trainers
have tried, but node could keep him level; but ou Saturday
he astonished and surprised us all by trotting as squarely
and as steadily as possible a full mile in 2:20£; and to show
us there was no mistake he was cooled out and then jogged
once round to the head of the stretch, and, being driven out
for the last quarter, trotted it like a world beater in thirty
seconds fiat. Of course, it is rather a fast portion of the
track, but the performance is astounding, anyway. Miller
said he had no trouble with him at all now, as he just did as
he told him, and he hoped to give him a good record well
inside 2:20 before the fdll. Lilly Stanley was given a second
heat, but did worse than before, for after scoing the first
quarter-in 36} seconds, she broke up badly and did not catch
at all handily, going to the half iu 1:15 and then settling
dowrn she came the last half readily in 1:11. We low left
the track to visit the stables, and the first to come out was
the lord of the harem, Director, 2:17. The old horse had
been jogged in the early morning before 6 o'clock, and was
looking as fresh and handsome as possible. He is a coal
black, about 15:1£, with a good intelligent, though rather
plain, head, strong muscular neck, grand shoulders, a wide,
deep chest, is well coupled, having plenty of power behind
and good legs and feet, he has a very resolute st.vle of go-
ing, rapid, strong and rather high action, and a sweet dis-
position, being as gen le and bind ai a lamb. His courage
and endurance have been proved by his campaign record.
As a three-year-old, he won both his races (value of the two
$3,000), getting a record of 2:30. Mr. Salisbury bought him
in the fall, and won two races as a four-year-old in Ken-
tucky. When he was five years old Johony Goldsmith
started out with him on the California Circuit, at Santa
Rosa he was third to .Echora, who has nicked so well
with him since. He won his other four rac=s that 3 ear, ag-
gregating $1,950, and getting a record of 2:23|. As a six-
year-old. Goldsmith took him East and won eleven races
with him, (value about §20,000), giving him a record of 2:17,
and beating Fanny Witherspoon, 2:16}, Phallas, 2:13|, Wil-
son, 2:16}, and a host of other good ones. His first race
was on the 1st of June, at Pittsburg, and his last at Albany, -
in Oc'ober, when he beat Phallas and Fanny Witherspoon
in four heats, only allowing Phallas the second in 2:22, and
and winning the race in the fourth heat in 2:19$. The sea-
son's campaign will probably never be equalled, for split-up
heats, and, do as they would, the black only kept going
faster, and no day seemed too long for him, and no combi-
nation could beat him, for though his record was not as good
as some of theirs, his stamina was never equalled, and the
bull-dog-like tenacity with which he would hang on to his
opponents and fairly wear them down was the theme of gen-
eral admiration.

When he was put in the stnd his reputation was so great
that every one wanted to breed to him and his price had to
be raised and only approved mares taken, and now after
standing here and in Kentucky his progeny have shown so
well that he is still the fashion. Direct, his four-year-old out
of his old opponent, Echora, will keep the old horse's image
before the trotting world, and great hopes are entertained of
his beating the stallion record next season if he keeps all
right. Mr. Salisbury likes a thoroughbred cross among his
brood mares, saying that Directors action and stamina com-
bined with thoroughbred, should beat the world, as all his
colts -are so docile and quiet, a child could drive them, and
trot, why they seem to know no other gait.

By the way, I wish to mention right here that a glance at
last year's books show that 72 per cent, of Director's mares
had foals. I mention this now because the prevailing impres-
sion abroad haB been that Director was not a good foal getter,
and there is no doubt Mr. Salisbury haB lost several good mares
on that account, and had some owners not been misled they
would assuredly have bred to him. Directors breeding is
unexceptional. The lines are not only of the very best, as
he oan sbcw sire and dam that have earned everlasting fame
as producers, and closely related to nearly all the crack trot-
ters. Director 1989, is by Dictator 113, he by Hambletonian
10, dam Clara(dam of Dexter, 2:17} eto.) by American Star 14.
Director's dam is Dolly by Mambrino Chief 11, out of a thor-
oughbred mare. Dolly is the dam of Thorndale, 2:22}, (sire
of DaiBydale,.2;19!r, Edwin Thorne, 2:16}, and four more in
thirty class), Onward, 2:25}, (sire of 1G in thirty class), and
several otherB. Dictator himself has twenty in tbe thirty
Hat, Jay-Eye-See, 2:10, heading the list. Where can you find
a horse so closely allied to so many performers and with an
untarnished reputation as Direotor, 2:17,

Mr. Salisbury also has Monroe Chief, 2:18}, who shares
the honors with Director, but this season has been in San
Luis Obispo. He went through the campaign of 1SS3, but
was handled by Budd Doble, and often was fighting against
Director, and gamely, too. He is by Jim Monroe 835, dam
Madam Powell by Bay Chief, son "of Mambrino Chief 11,
grandam by Toronto, great grand dam by a Whip horse.
Monroe Chief is tbe sire of Genevra, 2:24}, and several very
promising youngsters in the Southern cuuntry. He is ex-
pected up this week after a season there.

The other horses in training were then looked over. In
the first stall is a black three-year-old filly by Director, dam
by Admiral. She is a big rangy black filly, showing a true
Director gait. She belongs to F. W. Loeber of St. Helena.
Karie S , another Director three-year-old filly, is out of Alpha
Medium, she is black of course, and shows a good deal of qual-
ity, her head being not quite as thoroughbred looking as it
might be, but everywhere else she is beautifully put up, she
was purchased for $2,500 by Mr. Kirkendall," from her
breeder Col. Thornton, and has been in McDowell's care
since then (4 months ago). She was trotting well inside
thirty when distemper struck the stable, and Bhe suffered
more than the rest, but is now all right again and ready for
steady work. Direct I have already mentioned, and also
Gold Leaf, they both are pretty nearly ready for two heats,
but want a little more work before they can stand a hard
race. Margaret S. was nest seen. She is a grand looking bay,
three years old, by Director, dam May Day, 2:30, by Casaius
M. Clay Jr. She is a splendid dark bay about 15.1, with
a beautiful thoroughbred head and neck, grand shoulders and
back, with good legs and feet; one hind fetlock is slightly
enlarged, but it does not affect her and was caused by too
severe blistering to remove a slight knot on the fetlock which
was only an eyesore. She has been working bo fast that Mr.
Salisbury has decided to take her Ease for the Spirit of the
Times stakes, and she will most assuredly give a good account
of herself. It was quite interesting to see how all the stable
assistants seemed to watch and care for her, in fact it was
a hard matter to tell whether she or little winsome Miss
Margaret Salisbury, who took me to see her namesake, was
the greater favorite. Miss Monroe, 3, bay filly by Monroe
Chief, dam by A. W. Richmond, 2d dam by Glencoe (imp.), is
a nandsome bay mare, showing quality all over, as she should.
Richmond and Glencoe have no reason to be ashamed of
their share in the filly, and if ever the heats are split up she
is bound to make it hot for some of them before they get
through. She belongs to Mr. Brown of San Luis Obispo,
wno won several local races down there with her. Creole, the
black four-year-old son of Prompter, has been sent down
from Sacramento and should lower his record of 2:25, which
I saw him obtain this spring. Andy McDowell's two-year-
old filly Sea Foam is by Sidney, dam Lady Hannah by Arthur-
ton, her dam was a thoroughbred. She shows a good deal of
the thoroughbred in her appearance and is a nataral pacer.
I had quite forgotten to mention that on Saturday Bhe was
given two-quarters, the first in 37, and the second in 35 sec-
onds— a twenty gait without a skip or break. Chaboye is
training two on tbe track, Eva W.. 2:26A, by Nutwood, and
Redwood, a nine-year-old stalliou, full brother to her. They
are both trotting well, the 6tallion particularly so, and it is
intended to give him a record. He has covered a dozen
mares this year and should soon make a name for himself.

ThiBtle is a two-year-old pacer, own brother to Gold Leaf,
2:15 (Sidney — Fern Leaf). He is a big, fine black colt, with
a good deal of whito on his legs. He has been bred to ten
mares this season, but is now being worked, and shows a
very rapid gait, with the same mechanioal style as his sister.

Navarre is a bay two year-old horse by Nutmonf, dam by
Electioneer. He is full of quality, and though not a big oolt,
will repay his purchaser ere long, he has a very taking
action.

The yearlings were then inspected. The first was a slash-
ing looking colt by Monroe Chief, dam Daisy, who is very
promising. Pleasanton is by Director, dam May Day, 2:30,
and therefore full brother to Margaret S. A finer looking
colt could not be wished for, he is a bay, and in what little
work he has bad does not belie his looks, he is entered in
the Occident Stakes of 1891. Gertrude S. is by Monroe
Chief, dam Brown Crocket, she is a good rich brown, show-
ing every indication of trotting. The bay colt by Monroe
Chief, dam by Whipple's Hambletonian, is a very late one,
and wants time, but though smallish and light, has good legs
and feet, and will not disgrace his sire. The bay yearling by
Director, dam Sweetness, 2:21}, is, to my mind, the pick of
the lot, being a big, strong colt, with splendid shoulders, a
strong muscular back aud graud legs and feet. He has the
regular Volunteer head, taking after his dam instead 1 r
sire in that respect.

3?Ite fPreecUr mitl gpovtsmmx.

July 27

Clay 45; bred by Aldea Goldsmith. She is now eleven years
old, and was sold this spring to Mr. Corbitt, of San Mateo,
for $5,500, and has since had a tine black foal by Director.

Thornton is the black yearling brother to Direct. He haa
a white star and SDip on his face, with a while fetlock, he
is a bigger, rangier looking colt than Direct, bat has the Bame
resolute, straightforward style ot going.

In the adjjiuing paddock were two Gay Wilkes fillies (one
and two years old), a yearling filly by Clovis, dam Nettie,
2:26. five Monroe Chief yearlings '(fillies) and one Director
filly! They all looked exceptionally well, but we had only
time for a very short glance through them.

A move was now made for the alfalfa paddock to take a
look through some of the mares and colts. Just behind the
6tables, splendidly located in a fresh green field, were about
a dozen of the most fashionable matrons that money, com-
bined with good judgment, could procure. Old Echora, 2:23*
(by E.ho 462, dam the Young Mare by Jack Hawkins, a thor-
oughbred son of Boston), with a beautiful filly, own sister to
Direct, was inviting inspection. She is a seal brown mare,
showing quality all over, and lookiog aB fresh and young as
if she had forgotten all her hard work on the track in the
early part of the "80's. It is the firBt tilly Bhe has had, and
she was qnite proud of it as it trotted round without a sign
of breaking or running.

Belle E^ho, 2:20, by Echo 462, is another model brood
mare, a nice, bright bay with a brown Director filly at her
side. A filly by a :17 horse and out of a :20 mare should do
something big, for "like begets like," and there is nothing
but speed and stamina on both sides. The youngster is a
wonderfully neat, handsome one.

A magpie looking mare and tilly foal were the next to
attract attention, and on inquiry it turned out to be Gertrude,
pacer, by Del Sur, 2:24£, dam by Argyle, a Palo Alto thor-
oughbred. The mare and her offspring were marked the
same, black with white legs and white face. The mother
seemed a very handy pacer, while the foal trotted out as
steady as a rock.

The next mare was a good looking chestnut by Blue Bull
75, dam by Bennett's Red Oak, sister to Blue Bell, 2:26J.
She had a nice chestnut filly by her side by Director.
The filly takes more after her dam than her sire,
but trots and is very racy looking, and a fast trotter shoula
reBnlt from a cross of this kind sure. Roxana, by Gib-
raltar (2:22*) 1185, dam May Day, 2:30. is a half sister
to Margaret's., and like her, is a bay with black points. Her
filly foal, by Director, is one of the best fillies in the whole
bunch, a rich seal brown and a trotter from the word go.

Col. Thornton's Oriole is a grand looking daughter of Mon-
roe Chief and Queen of Hearts (thoroughbred), with a black
colt by Director at foot. The colt has a white star and a
suspicion of white on his fetlocks, he will be a beautiful
black when he gets older, and was to our mind the pick of
the basket, being a splendidly topped colt with a beautiful
head and neck, excellent shoulders, a good strong coupling
and very powerful quarters, with good flat legs and nice
looking feet. The Colonel was the happiest man in Pleasan-
tun when the colt, with his head and tail up, moved round
ub with that pure characteristic Director style of trotting.

Nellie Gilmer, by Norfall (a thoroughbred son of Norfolk),
dam Nellie by Geo. M. Patchen Jr., has a pretty bay Director
filly at her side which should make a sticker with Norfolk's
blond in her veioB.

Misfortune is a good looking mare, so called, I suppose,
because she has a hip down. She is by Monroe Chief, dam
by Gibraltar, out of Lady Tiffany. Her black suckling colt,
by Director, has a very taking appearance, especially when
moving, as he bends his knees and hocks in beautiful Btyle.

In the adjoining paddock were several outside mares; like
all the above, they are stinted to Director. Three of them
were pacers, one by Elmo another by Prompter, and the
third was the bay mare Ccrette, 2:19, pacing, by Winthorp.

"We now adjourned for lanch, and after a veTy nice
repast at the hotel, Mr. Neal drove me down to the Val-
entine Ranch, a little over a mile on the Sunol road. Mr.
Salisbury has leased the greater portion of the land for his
matrons, and in the valley, in a hundred acre lot, part of it
natural wild oats and the other alfalfa, were a large and
brilliant collection of mares, while the remainder were graz-
ing on the slope opposite.

In the low-lying land was Nellie R., 2:17:£, an in-bred
Gen. McClellan mare, being by Gen. McClellan Jr., son of
Gen. McClellan 144, dam Susie Rose by Sam McClelland
(also a son of Gen. McClellan), grandam by Hector. Sh6 is
a good looking, rich chestnut, heavy in foal to Director, and
great hopes are eotertained that in a month or so a trotter
will be on the scene. May Day, 2:30, by Cassius M.
Clay Jr. 54, the dam ol Margaret S., unfortunately"
slipped her colt on Christmas day, Mr. Salisbury observing
that telegrams snch as the one he received were not calcu-
lated to improve the festivities on thai usually festive occa-
sion. She looks wonderfully well now, and~ has evidently
caught again to Director.

The Malone mare, by Echo 462, dam Lady Dudley, has a
splendid Director colt which has grown and thickened out
well since the sale, Btill showing a pure pacing gait without a
trace of a trot, she should be in foal again to Director,
judging from present indications.

There were eight mares from Montana all stinted to Direc-
tor, two of which are Smuggler's, and should nick well with
the old horse. Aurora (dam of Guido) and Lugena (dam of
Jack Pot) are both by Tbad Steveus, thoroughbreds, the
former having a nice cheBtuut colt and the latter a chestnut
iilly by imported Mariner, they belong to Col. Thornton, who
has bred them to Director, Aurora has a regular trotting
gait and ought to nick well with the black; the Colonel also
has Alpha Medium, Lucy Patchen and Adena (a 6i6ter to
Ad«ir 2:17$) stinted to Director.

On the hill were Nellie (sister to Graves, 2:19} by Hamble-
touian 725, her Director filly died, and she has been bred
back to him. Maid of Oaks. 2:23, by Duke McClellan 9080,
dam Ocean Nell (dam of Dau Voorhees, 2:23]), is bred to
Director.

Nannie, by Inca, 2:27, dam full sister to Little Brown Jug,
is stinted to Director. She has no foal this year.

Dr. Pardee's Nellie Grant, a nice looking bay mare by
S-iiita Glaus. She haB a Btylish looking Director colt at her
side, and is bred back lo him.

The Black mare by WiUon's Blue Bull has a good looking
filly by Director; Brown Crocket by Overland— Nell Crockett;
Dolly Whipple bv Hambletoniau725 is sister to Lou Whipple,
2:263; Nettie, 2:27, by Elmo, tdre of Overman, 2:19,1, Alfred
S.,2:21, L C. Lee, 2:15; Midget by luca, out of dam of Little
Brown Jng; Belle S. by Whipple's Hambletonian; Epithet by
'rinceps— Fantress by Hamlet, secoud dam Favorita by
Alexander's Abdallah, third dam by Mambrino Chief; are all
stinted to Director, as are the fo'lowing outside mares:
Nanah (dam of Secretary), Alice R. (dam of Eva W., 2:26A),
Lida W , 2:26, Phaceola (Silver Thre*d— Minnehaha, dam of
Sweetheart, 2:22$, Alcazar, 2:23, Eva, 2:23$, and ihe cele-
brated Beautiful Bells, 2:2SJ), Lady Wattles (by Abbotsford,

2:19*. dam Lady Budd by Belmont), Kate Jeannette, Maude,
2:20" Daisy, 2:3SJ, as a yearling, Fontana by Almont, Brownie
H., Alice Garrett, Stem Winder 2:29, Young Miami and Lilly
Stanley, 2:19$. Navarre has served two maree, and Thistle
ten, including QueenEmma by Woodburn, dam Peggy RiDg-
gold. _.

Mr. Salisbury has entered in the Spirit of the Times
($11, 000) stake six fillies and one colt, and also Nellie R.'s
foal, which is not on the scenes yet. The fillies are out of
Echora, 2:22$. Belle Echo, 2:20, Roxana, Gertrude, Nellie
Gilmer, Echo— Lady Dudley mare, and the colt out of Oriole.

Before leaving the ranch I must say that all the mares and
colts were in exceptionally good condition, evidently having
had the best possible attention from Mr. Neal, who superin-
tends the mares as well aB the books. McDowell said that
he would probably come up to the Bay District track io
about a weeks' time, and from there go to Montana; while if
Direct kept improving he would most probably go East with
him when Margaret S. went. And now witn regret I bid
farewell to Pleasanton with the hope that Borne day I may
have the opportunity, and more time, to revisit the farm and
wander through the splendid matrons and grand colts at

leisure. N. B.

Memoirs of Lexington-

Continued.

A day or two after the race between Lecomte, Lexington
and Reabe, the following note was handed Mr. T. J. Wells,
the owner of Lecomte:

New Orleans, La., April 10, 1854.

"Col. T. J. Wells — Dear Sir — I did not wish to run Lexing-
ton again this season, and believing you entertained the same
sentiment in regard to Lecomte, I forbore making a proposal
which you would have to decline or change your views in
respect to your horse (though I believe Lexington's defeat
was caused by his unskilled rider). As however, it was stated
to me at a public assemblage yesterday, that you said that
Lecomte stood ready to meet Lexington at any time, for any
money, and at any distance, thereby inviting a proposal,
I now say that I will run Lexington against Lecomte, four
mile heats, over the Metairie Course, on Wednesday of next
week, at 3 p. m., for S10.000 a side, half forfeit, which will
be deposited to-day with the President of the Metairie Jockey
Club, at which time ^ouwill also say whether the horses
shall carry three or four-year-old weighte."
Respectfully yours, etc.,

"R. Tex Broeck.

New Orleans, La., April 10, 1854.
"Dear Sir — Your note of this date has jast been handed
me. Your proposition to ron Lexington against Lecomte,
four-mile heats, on Wednesday of next week, for §10,000 a
side, I beg leave respectfully to decline.

Your obedient servant,

T. J. W7ELLS.

CHALLENGE FROM LEXINGTON.

To the Editor of the Spirit of the Times.— Although the
mistake made by the rider of Lexington, in pulling up at the
end of three miles in the recent fast four mile race at New
Orleans, was witnessed by thousands of persons, I believe it
has not been referred to in print, except in the last number
of your paper. As Lexington will probably follow the fashion
in making a foreign tour, I give the following as his valedic-
tory: I will run him a single four miles over the Metairie
Course at New Orleans (under the rules of the Club) against
the fastest time at four miles that has been run in America,
for the sum of ten thousand dollars, one-fourth forfeit. Two
trials to be allowed, and the race to be run between the 1st
and loth of April next. Arrow to be substituted if Lexington
is amiss.

'Or 1 will run Lexington over the Fame course, four mile
heats, on Thursday previous to the next Metairie April meet-
ing, against any named horse, at the rate expiessed in the
proposition subjoined.

"Or I will run him over the Union Course at New York,
the same distance, on the third Tuesday in October. The
party accepting the last race to receive twenty-five thousand
dollars to twenty thousand, or to bet the same odds if Lexing-
ton travels to run at New Orleans. The forfeit to be five
thousand dollars and to be deposited with Messrs. Coleman
& Stetson of the Astor House wheu either race is accepted.
If the amounts of the last propositions are too large, they may
be reduced one half, with forfeit in the same proportion.
The first acceptance coming to hand will be valid — subse-
quent ones declined — and received after the commencement
of the races at the National Course, New York, the 26ch of
next month. R. Ten- Broeck.

"New York, May 30, 1S54."

In the same number of the Spirit of the Times, "A Turf-
man," in reply to "Observer," makes the following proposi-
tions in concluding his letter:

"It is well understood that "Observer" does not own race
horses, nor make matches, but it may not be out of place here
to say that Mr. Wells will match Lecomte, at heats of four
miles, against any horse in the Uruted States, for from live
thousand to ten thousand dollars aside, half forfeit. The
race to be run over the Metnrie Course near New Orleans,
and agreeably to the rules of the Metairie Jockey Club — the
party accepting may have choice of New York or Virginia
weights — on the Saturday previous to the next regular foil
meeting of that course.

"The sum of five hundred dollars will be allowed to the
party accepting the challenge to defray expenses, providing
the party accepting does not reside in an adjoining State to
Louisiana. The forfeit money to be deposited on the accept-
ance of the proposition in New Orleans. And the proposition
to be left open until the fiist day of September next. -

A Turfman.

In the Spirit of the Times, June 14, 1854, appears the
following challenge:

GLENCOES AGAINST BOSTONS.

"The undersigned will name four horses, the produce of
Glencoe, which will run against any four horses, the produce
of Boston, in the United States, at one, two, three and four-
mile heatb. The one mile race to be for 52,000; the two mile
race to be for $3,000; the three mile race to be $4,000; the
four mile race to be for $5,000. To make a race the matches
mnst be all taken, and one half the amount of such sum pro-
posed to be deposited as forfeit with Miles A- Cromeiine,
bankers, No. 50 Wall street, New York, on or before the first
day of September next, at which time the horses must all be
named. The races to be run over the National Course near
the city of New York, on the first Monday, Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday in October next, and to be governed by
the rules of said course. W. W. Boyden.

"New York, June 19, 1854.

In the issue of the same paper, a week before this challenge
was issued by Mr. W. W. Boyden, June 19, 1853, the paper
states that LexiDgton's challenge against Lecomte's time,
7:26, had been accepted by Col. Calvin Green and Capt. John
Belcher of Virginia, and the forfeit money deposited with
Coleman & StetBon of the Astor House. In the Spirit of the
Times of July S, 1S54, we find the following communication.

"THE CHALLENGE FROM LEXINGTON."

"To the Editors of the New Orleans Delta. — It has become
necessary that I should respond to a communication in the
Spirit of the Times of the 3d inst , signed R. Ten Broeck,
and dated New York, April 30th. Tbere appears to be a
great similarity between the editorial contained in the pre-
ceding number of the Spirit and the above named production.
The reBemblance is so perfect that they might be coosidered
as having the same origin. It may be that the paternity is a
joint one. Indeed, it would seem the dale of the "Challenge
from Lexington" was purposely arranged to claim the 'age' of
the challenge in the communication Bigned "A Turfman."
And the coincidence in their publications, the one being
dated three thousand miles off. and the other dated at New
York, on the spot, is so striking that I will be excused for
saying that Mr. Ten Broeck's challenge was an after thought.
If I am wrong in the supposition that the communication of
"A Turfman" was shown Mr. Ten Broeck, before its publica-
tion, I would then ask why was his challenge, which was
dated the 30th of April, withheld until the 3d of June? The
communication of "A Turfman" was dated the 12th of May.

"I make no complaint against the editor of the Spirit of
the Times. His paper is his private property, and he haB
the right to conduct it in his own way. But I believe and
assert that Mr. Ten Broeck did see the communication signed
"A Turfman" before it went to press, and that he felt called
upon to meet the challenge therein contained, and instead of
doing so m an open and fair proposition, he used it as a sub-
terfuge to avoid a meeting with Lecomte. This conclusion
is irresistible, if not from the facts stated, from the illiberal
terms of the challenge itself. But what stamps upon Mr.
Ten Broeck's note to the Spirit of the Times the truth of my
mstter contained in an editorial of the paper of the 27th of
May. Thus, Mr. Ten Broeck being endorsed with a pre-
science so extraordinary, is enabled to refer to what the
brain of the editor of the Spirit of the Times will bring forth
twenty-seven days hence.

Murder, though it hath no tongue, will Bpeak with most
miraculous organ.

"This challenge from Lexington is in perfect keeping with
the taste displayed immediately after the defeat of Lexington
by Lecomte. A proposition was made to run Lexington
against Lecomte, wheu it was knoitm that it could not or
would not be accepted. It was well known to Mr. Ten
Broeck that I strenuouslyoppo6ed Lecomte's running for the
State Stake, and that my consent was not given until about
three weeks prior to that event. He knew my objection arose'
from the belief that no three-year-old rider could manage
Lecomte in a four- mile race. He knew I attributed Lecomte's
being beat in that race to that fact. He knew I would run
Lecomte for the four mile day succeeding the State Stake —
for I so expressed myself to Capt. Viley, Mr. Duke, &c, <fcc.
— provided the Hon. D. F. Denner's boy — Abe— could be
reduced to within three or four pounds of the proper weight
to ride him."

"Mr. Ten Broeck being urged, perhaps, by too confident
friends of Lexington, or prompted by a deBire to give his
horBe a fictitioos reputation, by bolstering up his future
fortunes, or it may be, to gain for himself a wondrous notor-
iety, proposed two or three days after their last race to run
Lexington against Lecomte for five or ten thousand dollars,
which I declined, for, before doing so he Beoured my rider
from Mr. Kenner, aud thus being fortified against the possi-
bility of a fair and equal contest, he sends his challenge.
The challenge that Mr. Ten Broeck now throws out, with a
display of great boldness, is in character with other challenges
emanating from him; for instance, last winter he proposed to
match the get of Boston against the world, and he made the
conditions so unequal, complicated, and absurd, that he could
not himself have expected any one to take him up. Sucn
as I have shown, was the nature of his challenge to me last
spring, and such is the nature of his present challenge. So
far aB I am concerned, Mr. Ten Broeck has placed it out of
my power to accept his present challenge, eren if it presented
the ordinary character of such things. He issues it for the
first time, on the 3d of June, and says no acceptance will be
received after the 26th of the same month — thereby allowing
only three weeks for me to receive and reply to it — requiring
in the meantime, a travel of six thousand mileB, and that,
too, involving an amount of from $20,000 to $45,000. My own
ohallenge is in plain and open terms. Ample lime is given
for the world to take it up. It is made to run at all distances.
I claim the substitution of no horse, in case Lecomte is
amies. I propose the contest to come off over hiB own track,
where the pecuniary advantages accruing are entirely his
own. I have made no arrangements with the proprietors of
any course to receive a percentage of the receipts, should I
make the race to come off over their track. I have not
bought up nor engaged all the best jockeys, to prevent my
antagonist from having an equal advantage with me. Le-
comte does not propose to follow the fashion of a foreign
tour, that he may 'dodge' a fair and honorable contest. My
challenge Bpeaks for itself, and there let it remain, 'to fright
the souls of fearful adversaries.' Mr. Ten Broeck has stu-
diously attempted to avoid my challenge, when he might
have availed himself of all that is there so liberally offered ;
and if, by chance, I have said anything here that may here-
after provoke him to accept the same, I reserve to myself the
right, so far as he is concerned, to designate the course over
which the matoh shall be run — pledging myself to name
either the Natchez, the Mobile or Metairie Course.

"In conclusion, Mr. Editor, allow me to say that this
communication should more properly be addressed to the
Spirit of the Times, but aB Mr. Ten Broeck's challenge bears
internal evidence that an improper use was made of my
challenge before its publication, I do not feel disposed to
trust this where (to say the least of it) an apparent want of
courteby haB been Bhown me. Yours, &c,

"Thomas J. Wells.

NOTE BY THE EDITOR OF THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.

"We give place to the impertinent letter above, from Gen.
Wells, though it is replete with groundless assertions and
bold falsifications. For instance, the editorial ariicle which
appears to have "stirred up the monkeys," was written be-
fore Mr. Ten Broeck's arrival here, and he first saw it in
print. The absurdity of charging ub with "antipathy to
Southern horse*" is beneath notice. There have been no
Northern horses on the turf for years. Since Leoomte's great
race, several articles from well known (to us) correspondents
of this paper have appeared in an obscure New Orleans
journal, evidently from the same pens, charging us with all

manner of uncharitableness towards that horse, which we
shall not condescend to notice. If it should be deemed
proper, after the correspondence between the parties shall
have closed, in respect to the half dozen matches and chal-
lenges which have appeared in this paper lately, we may
undertake to strip off certain masks we wot off, ai*d if "for
flies" it will not be our fault. The course pursued towards
us by these Louisiana jokers, who have "laid their heads
together" for the purpose, is utterly unprovoked and will not
be forgotten, they had better believe-
In the same paper we find the following communication
from Mr. Ten Broeck:

LEXINGTON TO LECOMTE— ANOTHER CHALLENGE.

Mr. Editor: — I dare say yonr readers are heartily wearied
with hearing of Lecomte and Lexington, and I should not
again resume the "grey goose quill,'' except to correct the
errors and sophistries of a communication Bigned "Thomas
J. Wells," dated Red River, June 16, This I will do. seriatim,
and as briefly as possible. It is intimated that a communi-
cation signed "A. Turfman" was withheld by yon, to give my
challenge on the part of Lexington precedence. Thi° ib
doing yon great injustice and is wholly incorrect. I must
confess my surprise that on a subject so unimportant as a
discussion concerning the superiority of two horses, so grave
an accusation should be made where no evidence for it can
be afforded, except in the imagination of the writer. The
same fatuity is displayed iu considering the communication
Bigned "A Turfman" a bona fide challenge. If my memory
Berves, the response was to be sent to New Orleans. There
may be many torfmen in New Orleans, and I believe it is not
usual to offer matches under a nomme de plume. The friends
of Lecomte say *ith Byron, "Give me a successor, but no
rival."

"The dale of the challenge on the part of Lexington should
have been May 30.

To be Continued.

The First Hurdle Race Run in the State of
California.

Three miles from the beautiful city of Santa Barbara lies
the picturesque little lake called "Laguna Blanca." It is
one mile in circumference, and is filled by the waters that
rush into it from the high hills around. The scenery
around the lake is beautiful. Immense oak trees with their
wide spreading branches add much to the grandeur of the
scenery. The Pacific Improvement Company have purchased
the large tract of land known as the "Hope Ranch," and the
company propose to baild on a high hill that overlooks the
lake, a handsome hotel and improve the surrounding lands.
The lake will be kept tilled to its utmost the year around.

Seventeen ytars ago the good people of Santa Barbara
bnilt a mile track around the lake and offered a beautiful
BiWer cup to the horse that could win iu a mile hurdle race.
Conditions were that the horses that competed were to be
owned in Santa Barbara county, and each horse to be ridden
by its owner. Colors and horses to be named three days
before the race. There were to be four hurdles, each four
feet high. Great preparations were made for the event.
The gentlemen who were to ride were all single men, and of
course as they weremolel young men, and looking around for a
wjfe — Santa Barbara has always been noted for its handsome
and accomplished yonng ladies — each one would appear to
the best advantage. When the young ladies discovered that
their friends were to appear arrayed in short pantaloons,
bright colored jackets and jockey caps, their indetigatible
imagioatiuns worked with willing skill in the selection of
colors and artistic style of their suits. John S. Bell who
owned and entered Bonny, found himself in a great predica-
ment. Two or three weeks after the race he was to be
married to a prominent and accomplished young lady of
Santa Barbara, and she objected seriously and empatically to
his ridiDg Bonny over those horribly high hurdles. The
mere thought of them made her shudder. Mr. Bell being of
a gentle and sweet disposition at the time, especially disposed
to listen to fhe capricies of his bethrothed, appealed to his
friends, and vehemently did he plead his cause, so after a
long and warm discussion his friends yielded, and Mr. Bell
was allowed to substitute a bright Englishman who bore the
name of Mr. Bromley. It was surprising how often these
gentlemen went to the ladies to fit on their jackets and caps
All the gentlemen who rode in thiB race are married to-day —
all mariied to beautifnl ladies — but one, he is married to his
profession.

The day for the great race finally came. Nature was in
her happiest mode. It was early in the spring, so that the
high hills, deep canyons and beautiful meadows wore their
fresh green mantles, variegated with the sweetest perfumed
flowers of the forest.

"All sorts are here that all the earth yields;
Variety without end."

All went out to the lake early in the day, many taking
their baskets tilled with the best of everything to eat. The
thick forest joyously entertained the young ladies and gen
tlemen. I was then too young and too much "interested in
my books to think of love, so I wandered in the woods and
thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful scenery around. I could
hear the roar of the ocean, hear the sweet birds of spring and
the soft voices of the "senoritas, " ana I kept repeating unto
myself: —

"Theie is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music In its roar."

An hour before the time for calling the race the home
Btretch was filled with carriages. The grand sland and the
private carriages were artistically decorated. The young
lady who was to be married soon after the race was fortunate
in her selection of the wiuner of the race. She christened a
beautiful brown mare "Mariposa," and this speedy mare was
ridden by Mr. Jacques, who, with eyes full of love, looked
towards Old Eogland for his betrothal's blessing and good
wishes. A handsome bay mare called "May Queen" was
entered and ridden by Captain Forney of the United States
Coast Survey, Jarret T. Richards, a prominent attorney of
Santa Barbara, and who ran on the Republican State ticket
for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of this State,
rode a sorrel gelding called "Sfcylark." Joe Pleasant rode a
black geldiDg called Blackbird. 0. M. Coarrubios, who is
proprietor of the Fashion stables and a great lover of equine
sports, rode George Temple. This grey gelding was the
handsomest one my eyes ever beheld. He stood sixteen
bands, had a beautifully turned head, a long, thin neck, and
handsomely shaped ears that Btood erect and gracefully
moved in token of recognition. His large, bright eyes stood
out and betrayed his kind disposition, and his wide nostrils
gave the sportsmen an idea of the gelding's ability to run far
and strong. I have never seen better hindquarters than this
handsome grey gelding possessed. His symmetrical form
could not but attract all eyes which came near him.

When the bell rung for the amateur jockies to mount their
racers the band began to play a lively march. It was amus-
ing to Bee and hear the jockies, for so must we call them till
the race is finished. One objected to this and another to
that. George Temple's jockey seriously objected to being
dressed as a clown. He wore white pantaloons, white jacket
and yellow cap. He declared that he would not ride in that
suit. He said that he had not come out to take the m part of
a clown before such an immense crowd. He said that if he
had known that there was to be a baud and so many eyes to
gaze upon him he never would have consented to appear
in Bhort pantaloons and jockey cap. His brother Nick and
friends finally persuaded him that it was just the thing, so
he was lifted on his gelding. Mr. JacqueB wore pants, jacket
and cap made of blue silk. His handsome brown mare,
"Maripoea," trotted gracefully towards the stand, andseemed
inspired by the sweet strains of music that traveled softly
over the waters of the serene lake, and were takeD up by the
joyouB birds of spring that were watching the sport from
their alcoves on the high oak trees. Captain Forney's colors
were blue pants, whiie jacket and red cap. I sat on the
front seat of a three-seated carriage, in which were Miss D.,
Miss L., Mrs. Dr. S., and Mrs. Captain G. The amateur
jockeys were given their positions aud instructed by the
judges.

The music had ceased. Ladies and gentlemen were at-
tentively watching the horses. The scene was an eloquent
one to behold. The serene white sheet of water unconcerned ;
there w&s not sufficient wind to move the leaves, and that
immense crowd of attractive ladies and gentlemen silent and
all attention, aud the proud, prancing steeds coming for the
word "Go!" They made several attempts to get off. The
intense excitement was inspiring, and the delay to get off only
made the ladies more anxious and attentive. At last the
word "Go!" was given, and away rushed the horses at a great
speed. Miss L. and MIbs D. stood upon their seats, Miss D.
supported by Mr. Bell. Just as the horses were reaching the
first hurdle the ladies covered their eyes with their soft,
white hands and gave a faint "Oh, my!" Over the hurdle
went the horses, George Temple, Mariposa and May Queen
together, followed cloBely by "Bonny," Skylark and Black-
bird. Away they go again, straining every muscle, and the
brave amateur jockeys striving to guide their steeds to vic-
tory. The second hurdle is reached, and over it leap Mari-
posa, May Queen and George Temple. Three or four lengths
behind them are coming, increasing their speed, "Bonny,"
Skylark and Blackbird. "Look at them run!" cries Miss L.,
and then she covers her eyes. She sits down, and Mr. Bell
rushes off tor water. Confusion in and around our carriage.
I looked for the horses, and a feeling of horror came over
me. I saw the sorrel geldiDg "Skylark" running towards the
hills — riderless.

The last hurdle is reached by the horses. The three first
horses are still in the -lead. You hear voices shouting,
"George Temple, Mariposa!" As they approach the last hur-
dle, O. M. Coarrubias prudentially chtcks George Temple
and the horse makes a strong effort to run around the hur-
dle, and he jumps over it on the extreme outside. The
crowd shout, "Foul! go back and take the jump again." He
was so excited and bo worn by his efforts to keep his horse
under control that he actually stopped his horse, went back,
and made the horse take the hurdle again; and so it was that
this fast, brave and handsome gelding, George Temple, lost
the iir=t hurdle ran in the State of California in the spring of
1S72. Mr. Jacques was the great hero of the day, and
"Mariposa11 the speedy heroine. She was crowned "Queen
o' the May." Poor George Temple! he seemed to feel that
he was neglected after the race, and his rider swore that he
never should have ridden in those Bhort white pantaloons and
yellow cap.

Before the next race came off tbe band played sweet lively
airs. The crowd began to scatter and seek the shade of the
widespreading oaks to discuss the merits of each horse or to
talk of their future days. Ganymeade was around in the
forest with his silver pitcher pouring out wine to the gods
and godesses. "Mariposa" was the proudest queen one ever
saw. She was fond of the caresses and kind words spoken
to her, and she seemed to glory in her great victory. An
hour after tbe hurdle race the Consolation race was called,
and the only horse that responded to the call was Mr. Bell's
Bonny. The crowd was much disappointed, but to their re-
lief came the brave and accomplished gentleman. Dr. Jas.
B. Shaw, who declared his willingness to ride his black geld-
ing against Bonny, provided Bonny took the hurdle and the
Doctor's horse ran around them.

The announcemant of Dr. Shaw was received with vehe-
ment applauses, and it waB not long before Mr. Bromley was
again on Bonny and Dr. Shaw by his side. Tho horses went
to a good start and ran evenly, Bodv taking the hurdles.
Under the wire Bony showed his head first and was awarded
the race.

Last Friday I took a ride out to Mr. Hall's ranch, twelve
miles from here. Mr. Hall has a beautiful ranch of eight
hundred acres. Water is piped all over the farm. He has
set out two thousand lemon trees, rive hundred loquats, and
all varieties of tropical plants. Large banana plants, palms
of all kinds, a large bed of asparagus and strawberries. Al-
though he is not interested in equine racing, he has a great
fancy for birds and dogs. He brooght with him from France,
English pheasants, grey patridges.redleg partridges and French
quails. He also brought with him some tine dogs.

yesterday morning I went down to the track to see a two-
year-old that J. M. Rochin had sent from Los Alamos to
Pete Doyle. The colt is named Don Ramon; he is a sorrel
stallion by Almont, he by A. W. Richmond, dam Monte
J Belle, she by Ten Broeck, and out of Granny, dam of Tom
' Stout, record 2:24. The dam of Don Ramon is by Newry;
second dam ty DaD Voorhees, record 2:23i, he by GeD. Mc-
Clellan. Although this youngster is just broken, he can trot
a quarter handily in 45 seconds. I saw Gus Walters drive
Don Patricio a fast quarter — too fast for me to give away.
Don Patricio is ronnding out in fine shape. He feels and
trots like a twenty horse. T. M.

Horse Notes Prom San Luis Obispo.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — It may interest some
of your readers to hear a word from one of the extreme back-
wood counties of the great State of California, and to learn
that we h^ve here, or think we have, some horse-stock that
is worthy of mention in the columns of your most excellent
paper. I will give you a partial list of the stock now at work
at the trotting park: Mr. N. N. Craig has his bay stallion
Harold Cossack by Don Cossack, dam by Hurold. He is
still doing stud service, and gets light exercise on the track
yet shows nice, square trotting action, and is improving in
speed. Acrobat (pacer) bay horse, three years old, by Sterl-
ing, he by Egmont, he by Belmont, dam by Tom Hal. As a
two-year-old this colt made a record of 2:37£ at Sacramento.
The track here has teen too deep and loose to favor the
pacing gait, yet this young horse is improving lapidly, show-
ing quarters in 38 seconds. In this string i3 Mr. Petty's bay
filly Daisy, three years old, by Mt. Vernon, a finely gaited
mare. She trots quarters in 42 seconds; mile trial, 2:57.

G. W. Walker's black filly Maude, two years old, by Al-
toona, dam by A. T. Stewart, has been worked two and a
half months, and trots quarters very fast.

N. H. Fitzwater's Duke McClellan Jr., grey stallion, four
years old, by Duke McClellan. Mr. Craig has had this horse
three weeks, and he trots mile trials in 2:56. Mr. Penning-
ton's black mare, four years old, by Altoona, is a well gaited
and promising one.

Hiram Tracy has Mr. Trowbridge's Promise 6416, black
stallion by Almont Pilot 763, dam by CasBius M. Clay Jr.
Promise is a finely bred fellow, has good action, is level
headed, and under Mr. Tracy's management, is making rapid
improvement. Mr. C. R. Calender's brown gelding is of
Black Hawk stock, Mr. Farr's bay gelding of Kentucky Hun-
ter extraction, and Mr. C. W. Dana's chestnut geldiDg by Doke
McClellan, dam by A. T. Stewart, are all doing well, and
while they are only thought of as roadsters now, some trot-
ter may think he has been at a race after interviewing either
of the trio.

R. S. Brown has Monroe S , bay colt three years old, by
Monroe Chief, dam Lady Tiffney. This colt has made quite
a season in the stud, and is only just beginning work. On
Thursday last he trotted a mile iu 2:51. Antiall, brown colt,
two years old, by Antevolo, dam Lady Tiffney, is a Dice large
fellow, and is in every way a fiDe colt. Flora D., black mare,
four years old, by Director, has been worked but little, and
is stinted to Monroe S.

J H. Hollister's brown filly, three years, by Altoona dam
Nellie, i3 a full sister to Alio, 2:22* and lookB, when trotting,
as if she intended to head off her illustrious brother.

General P. W. Murphy's brown filly, two years, by Gavi-
ota, he by Electioneer, is a nice and promising one.

Judge Adams is the happy owner of verv nice two-year-old
bay geldmg by Alexander, Jr. This completes Mr. Brown's
stable.

H. M. Seig has Commodore Nutwood, b h by Nutwood- is
only just out of the season, and last Saturday trotted a mile

Charles Lee's bay mare, three years, by Gaviota is im-
proving.

J. H. Hollister's gray pacing gelding, only at work a few
days, but Harry says he will go fast this fall

H. M. Warden's two chestnut fillies Skip and Daisy by
Quien Sabe are domg well. Daisy made a mile trial a few
days since in 2:45. Billy Nutwood, b c, two years by Com-
modore Nutwood, winner of the yearling race here last fall
will be liable to make it warm for some of the fast two-year-
olds at the coming Fair.

Nellie Nutwood, full sister to Billy, b m four years record
as a three-year-old, 2:55. Adjotant, b h, six years, by Ad-
miral, has just been brought to Sieg's stable by the owner
Mr. McKinnon.

Mr. Tognazzini's sorrel filly Nellie, by Altoona dam by
Ancles Alexander, is a great, fine filly, and has a fine way of
going. Susie, same owner, b m by Altoona, dam by A. T.
Stewart, is a Dice large mare aud a good mover.

C. L, Woods has Harry Oaks' brown gelding Charley W
by Altoona, dam old Liil with probably as much of old Bel-
mont's blood in her as aoy thiog now liviog. This colt is
three years old, aud if Dothing happens him I predict that
he will become a fast horse.

Woods also haB Thos. Cashin's Aud gelding, two years by
Gaviota, dam by a son of Capt. Fisher. This colt is known
on the track as Dynamite, and is liable to explode, look out
for him id the future.

In this stable is a little beauty, three years by Altoona dam
by A. T. Stewart, the property of W. Sandercock.

This morning we were treated to a heat between H. D. Al-
bright's blk stallion Fred Arnold and a ch mare, driven and
trained by Jack Cochran. The horses went like a double
team from wire to wire, and trotted the mile in 2:33, which,
in view of the fact that Fred Arnold has just closed a sc ason
of 105 mares, is simply wonderful for the horse.

A Question in Breeding.

There is coDsiderable difference of opinioD, says Tbe Amer-
ican Cultivator, among practical breeders as to whether the
sire or dam has the greater influence upon the offspring.
According to theory the dam should hove the greater, for tbe
foetus is a part of herself during a period of several months.
It is nourished from her system and is influenced greatly by
her emotions. This is often strikingly illustrated by pecu-
liarities of color and shape, which appear to be almost identi-
cal with those of some strange object that has produced a
strong impression upon the mare.

It seems probable that the extent to which the offspring is
influenced by either parent depends upon the relative
strength of the characteristics of tbe two parents; that is, if
the dam is more remarkable in any particnlar respect than
the sire, and especially if her ancestors were distinguished
for the same qualities that make the mare remarkable, the
foals will be more likely to resemble the dam in that parti-
cular feature then the sire.

It is a common remark that great men always have remark-
able mothers. It is true that noted turf performers and ■•
cessfnl trotting sires are from mares noted for strut
duality of character. The Arabs, who are generally
with possessing a very thorough knowledge of the s<
breediog, believe that the sire exerts fur greaU-r .
upon the offspring than the dam.

San Mateo Stock Farm.

Having been asked at least a score of times what Mr. Cor-
bitt had in training at the farm, and being unable to answer
positively, a visit was paid to San llaleo a few days ago, and
now it can be stated on authority, what will in all probability,
be started in the races this year to uphold the honors of the
home of Sabie Wilkes and Guy Wilkes.

There was another consideration that to k me to the farm
and that was the report, current for the past week or two,
that Lillian Wilkes had "a leg," and I wished to see for my-
self how far the rumor was justified. This is the time of the
year that all sorts of idle gossip is flying around in reference
to promising performers, and the Breeder, and Sportsman
staff have explicit orders to publish nothing but what can be
verified, there beiug no room in these columns for sensations,
that are printed one day. only to be contradicted the next.

The proprietor, and his able assistant, John A. Goldsmith,
weie both ou haud lo sbow up the stable and give whatever
information was desired. Mr. Corbitt was told that the
Directors of the Stockton Association would give a free-for-
all stallion pi.iv.se, and asked if he would enter Sable Wilkes.
Hid answer was an empathic "no." When he made the en-
try in the Breeders Stake, the horse was turned over to Mr.
Goldsmith, who drove him several times, but when the
purse was reopened, Mr. Corbitt decided to withdraw his
nomination, and the horse was at once put oat of training,
and-sent bacK to stud service. An invitation was extended
to take a look at the great young stalliou, and he was found
in his palatial stall, a mouarchiu every look and g^ature, al-
though his crown has lately been wrested from him by his
relative Axtell. Closely examined, he fails to show a blemish
of any sort or description, and his underpinning is "clean as
a whistle." The black beauty was led out and the first im-
pression was strengthened that he is fit to trot for u man's
life. However, Mr. Corbitt has firmly decided that he will
not start Sable Wilkes aud therefore the public will not have
the pleasure of seeing the mighty son of Guy Wilkes enter
the lists this season.

A look was then taken at the various horses which are
being prepared for the campaigo, aud a royal lot they are,
everyone bred in the purple and of the kind that can keep
coming. It is only natural that the many visitors who are
constantly paying their respects at the farm should have
favorites among the large number that are constantly to be
seen, and the fair Lillian WilKes holds the first place in the
opinion of the majority, bat uuder pain of being thought
contrary I wish to go on record as being a strong believer in
the prowess of Atalaota Wilkes, who is beyond all odds the
very best of the equines in my estimation now at the San
Ma>o Stock Farm, and I am also strongly impressed that
Mr. Corbitt is now extremely sorry that he has sold this
magnificent daughter of Guy Wilkes and Atalanta {a full sis-
ter to Beautiful Bells) to Mr. Allen, notwithstanding the
long price of $15,000 was paid for her. Since this fine filly
became the property of Mr. Allen he has refused §20,000 for
her; and in view <if the fact that he has never seen her, it
shows what a strong idea he must have of her blood lines,
aud I sincerely trust he may never have to regret his refusal
to sell Atalanta Wilkes. She is now two years old, coal
black in color, stands fully 15.3, and displays immense
power, with a perfect, frictionless action. Her beauty is
enhanced by a mane and tail that would cause Aboottsford to
grow green with envy if he could but see them. She lakes to
her work kiudly, and is moviDg very fast.

Now then for a look at Lillian Wilkes, the pride of the
farm, and which Mr. Goldsmith hopes may be able to reduce
the thr66-year-old record. The beautiful filly was found
to be in first class fettle, the mole hill, from which the moun-
tain grew, being nothing more nor less than a slight abrasion
of the skin on one of the foie legs where she scraped herself
with one of the hind shoes when in exercise. The hair was
knocked off, and that was what caused the rumor to spread
that the daughter of Guy Wilkes and Flora Langford had
broken down. Unless something else happens to her, Lil-
lian Wilkes will be a surprise party to any horseman who
has the fond hope that he may be able to beat her, for she is
the picture of health, and is undeniably very fast.

Rupee is a brown colt two year's old by Guy Wilkes, dam
Sable Hayward by Pos< ora Hayward, 2:23£. This name-
sake of the principal Hindoostanee coin is a pacer, and a
rattling good one at that, having alieady shown low enough
in the "twenties" to warraot Mr. Goldsmith iu the opinion
that it will have to be a world beater that can lower the
colors of Rupee.

Anita, by Le Grande, dam Hannah Price by Arthurton, is
a large rangy three-year-old that moves in an even smooth
way, and should be a good, ustfal animal in the slower
classes, as she haB no record.

I have another favorite in the stable which deserves
especial mention for his good looks, and from whom I expect
to hear good reports before the season closes. This is Regal
WilkeB, two years old, by Guy Wilkes, dam Margaret bv
Saltan. ''Handsome is as handsome does," is an old and
very trite saying, but if this representative of The Moor and
Wilkes families, only performs one-half as well as his appear-
ance indicates, he will indeed show wonderful speed, for in
beauty he cannot be excelled anywhere.

Several mouths ago my old friend Dan DeNoyelles, of New
York, Bent out to the San Mateo Stook Farm his favorite
mare Nina D. by Nutwood, dam Adelaide (2:192) by Phil
Sheridan 630, to be bred, and Mr. Goldsmith will try to give
her a record before she makes the return trip. How well I
remember her dam, a small, tiny, little thing no larger
than a pony, aDd what speed she had; a regular flyer. The
ladies always fell in love with the diminutive creature, and
although Nina D. is not much larger than her mother, I
hope she may be able to get a record just as low.

While Tassa] Wilkes will not be seen on the public tracks
this yeai\ still she is being taught the preliminary work, pre-
paratory to showing np as a two-year-old. Tassa is a fine
large yearling with an exceedingly good gait, and gives prom-
ise of beiug one of the fast ones.

Grandee, tbe well known gelding, is ready and eager for
the fray. As a three-year-old h« got a record of 2:23. and it
will trouble many of the crack four-year-olds to win a heat
from him this fall. He is in excellent condition, tough as a
nut, legs Bound, and fit to cope with the best.

Next are shown two full sisters, Una WilkeB and Hazel
Wilkes, the first a three-jear-old and the latter a year older.
Vhey are by Guy Wilkes, dam Blanche by Arthurton. Both
of these are showing up well, aud, as neither have records,
should be able to earn their oats.

Mr. Goldsmith has Beveial good ones of hiH own, but be
had only one in training, Sinter V., when a few days ago a gen-
leman named McLeod, from Seattle, Washington T'rritory,
,Kii-l a visit to the ranch and asked her price. On being told
what would purchase her, he said be would take her if a cer-
taiu time couid le shown. Mr. Goldsmith showed tbe nee-
etsary umouut of speed, and the sale was consummated h!

once, aud it is highly probable that this fast mare is now on
her way to the northern cuuntry.

The black stallion Memo has been placed under the charge
of this careful trainer, and will be given the necessary
amount of work to fit him for his contest against the many
who are entered in the 2i20 class in the P, C. T. H. B. pro-
gramme. As yet his fastest full mile for the year was com-
pleted in 2:38, but this will be gradually reduced in time.

Time being limited, only a casual glance oould be taken at
the brond mares, for which this farm is so famous. They
are all looking well with the exception of Sweetness, 2:21£,
who 1b limping, probably from the effect of a kick or strain.
The foala are all looking well, and it might not be amiss to

What a grand array of trotters, and what combinations of
blood lines! There is probably no one (arm in the United
States that can Bhow Buch a magnificent collection of ma-
trons as are assembled in the paddoefcs of Mr. Corbitt's
breeding establishment, the brilliancy of their pedigrees be-
ing only surpassed by the individuality of each, for speed
lineB and producing quality are equally looked at with
breeding when new purchasers are made for the stud. There
has never been a year in the past when so many promising
trotters have been in training at San Mateo Stock Farm as at
present, and that the proprietor may be abundantly satisfied
with his success on the track this season is my earnest wish,
for he is deserving of both honor and profit for bis immense
outlay.

A Rich Man and His Horses.

About two months ago one of the steamers coming from
Liverpool brought among her passengers three gentlemen who
bad been in Paris for several weeks, says the Canadian Sports-
man, endeavoring to patch np an agreement in the broken
syndicate controlling the world's copper supply. The news
which had come over to the United States about their negotia-
tions with the Kothschilds and the Fans capitalists had not
been satisfactory, and when the steamer bringing the repre-
eeutatives of the Americans interests arrived at her pier on the
North River, there were reporters from all over New York,
and even from some of the Boston and Philadelphia papers,
anxious to interview the three American as soon as they could
land. One of these men was Mr. J. B. Haggin. He is the
largest owner of copper in the United StateB, and his
Anaconda mines out West could probably be deoended upon
to furnish the wor d with all the copper it wants for a num-
ber of years to come.

About a fortnight ago there was a sale of ninety-six of the
finest yearling horses that lovers of the turf have ever Been in
one stable put up at auction. One of the animals brought
$22,000 another sold for $10,000, and altogether tbe lot real-
ized for its owner $113,750. On the whole it was the great-
est sale of the kind that has ever occurred in the United
States. Mr. Haggin is tbe man who sold these horses.

A few days ago the great Realization race was run at Sheeps-
head Bay. It was a grand struggle for the $40,000 prize,
and that magnificent horse called Salvator croBsed the line
first. Mr. J. B. Haggin waB his owner.

It is very likely that this man, who has a mountain of cop-
per, a ranch miles and miles in area in California, a breeding
farm with 300 brood maree, and a stud of the finest stallions
to be found in any one man's Btable anywhere in the world,
could walk up Broadway through the throng on any pleasant
afternoon and pass unrecognized by moBt of the people who
Bee him. Even racing meu to whom his name is familiar
would not at all know him by sight. Yet he is really one of
the most picturesque characters among the rich meu of the
country. In figure he is of medium height, with trim,
straight legs, supporting a rather stalwart frame, with a head
well covered with hair that is almost white. He wears a
beard and moustache closely cropped and in color like his
hair. There is a firm look upon his face, and his eyes are
br.ght and Btrong in their gaze. He is perhaps 65 yeara old,
but walks with firm step. There is nothing in his manner or
his dress that is ostentatious, and, while he might be taken
for a prosperous banker, there is uotbiug about him which
would lead one to think that he is a man of wealth that runs
far up into the millions, and a man who has so many irons
in the fire that his interests extend almoBt all over the world.

Mr. Hag"in is a man who will not say very muoh about
himselt. He is oourteous, however, and when he says he
does not wish to answer a question the inquirer may always
depend npou it that he means what be says. A story is told
that Mr. Haggin is of Irish parentage, and was born in Kbl-
tucky. There is another story that he was born in Turkey.
However this may be, he is now an American. Oue of the
things that those who say he was born in Turkey tell bb a
proof U tbe Lame giveu to his son, "Ben Ali." It is also re-
luted that Mr. Haggin, Sr.. ran away when a boy, and
passed some of his time in Constantinople, where he was be-
friended by a Turk, in memory of whose kindness the father

gave the name Ben Ali to his first born. Mr. Haggin lived,
when a young man, in Kentucky, Btudied law there, and
about the time there was a great rush for the Pacific const,
went West to make his fortune. He stopped on his way at
St. Louis, and with a cousin began the practice of law and the
sale of real estate. They did not meet with the success tbere
that they desired, and with $500 that was given to his cousin,
they went on to Saa Francisco. While they were buay wi h
their law practice, they learned a great deal about mining
stocks, and made investments. Everything that Mr. Haggin
touched seemed to turn into money, and a short time he ac-
quired a gold mine at Deadwood, a silver mine at Bodie, in
California, and other mines in other places. He also became
interested in the Welle, Fargo Express Company, and the
bank which the company rans. The copper mine in Anaconda,
Montana, is one of the most valuable of his possessions. It
takes 3,000 men to run it.

But it is probably Mr. flaggin's possessions in California
that are of most popular interest. His farm, the Kancho Del
Paso, covers an area of seventy-two square miles, and its
borders nearly touch the boundaries of the city of Sac-
ramento. Down in Kern county, in southern California, he
owns 400,000 acres of most magoifioent land. It is irrigated
by a canal 60 feet wide. The Rancho Dal Paso is where he
has his horses, the first sale of which last year and the second
pale two weeks ago have attracted so much attention. Mr.
William Easton, the auctioneer who rattled off the horses at
Hunt's Point, knows about the ranch in California, and al-
though he has been a horseman all his life, and has probably
seen most of the breeding farms, he is intenselv enthusiastic
over that owned by Mr. Haggin. He says that'the life of the
young colts and young fillies out there is one of activity uu-
der cireuniBtanoes most favorable to the development of
aristocratic horses. After the youngsters are weaned the
colts are put into one field where they can get a straight run of
a mile over easy ground, and then are put into another field
where they can get a Bimilar slreatch. He says that in no
senBe of the word are these yearlings pampered. They may
be forced, so far as having plenty of food and exercise to pro-
mote growth goeB, but they are aB far from being pampered
as is possible. One of the most splendid spectacles that
horses may furnish for men to look upon is that which the
visitor to the Haggin ranch may see when, on the signal being
given for the horses to come home for the evening feed the
forty or fifty colts at the furthest end of a field a mi'le or
more long come tearing along at the very top of their speed
each one straggling to get there first.

This truly is a race. Every horse, urged by the influences
that were bom within him, inheiited from a long line of
dams and sires whose business it was to pats beDeath the
wire first upon the track, stretches over the ground, every
muscle playing, every footfall strong and elastic, every in-
stinct of the true bred horse forcing him to get the lead and
keep it. In this free for all spiii'ed contest there is no jockey
urging the horse with whip and spur to do his best; the ani-
mal is running as swifily as he can simply because it is his
nature to do so, because he likes it, because he wants to do
so. It is this kind of out-door vigorous life, this freedom
from warm aud ill-ventilated stables, this plenty of unre-
stricted exercise, Mr. Easton says, that gives the Rancho Del
Paso yearlings their great muscular development, their even
size, and their promise of a magnificent future. There is a
great deal due to the climate. California hasn't had a very
long time to demonstrate what Bhe m*y do as a horse breed-
ing State, but those men who have made the experiment
have already accomplished such wonderful results that it is
almost certain that in time the greatest horses in the United
States will come from tbere.

The horses which have come from California have been
noted for their size, their constitutional substance, and par-
ticularly for their ability to beat all comers at all 'distances
very often under heavy weights. These are essential quali-
ties, which are particularly tested in the long journey which
the yearlings have to undergo before they are put on sale
here in New York. Racing men think that the climate in
which the horses pass their flist year helps largely. The
colts on Mr. Huggin's ranch, uo matter when ttiey are* born,
says Mr. Easton, have tbe advantage of warm sunshine and
equable temperature from the very hour almost that they
first see light. They are not snbjected to the many vexatioc s
setbacks which those bred in less favored parts of the world
have to contend with.

Mi. Haggin was present at the sale of his horses at Hunt's
Point a tew dayB ago. He and his son and Fred Hoey of
Long Branch, sat together. Eaoh one kept a tally of the
prices at which the colts and fillies sold and of the men who
bought them. A close observer of Mr. Huggin'sfacecouldu't
have detected any Bign to lead to the belief that the sphinx-
like man, so quiet and apparently unconcerned, was more
personally interested in the success of the sale than all the
other men there. The Btablemen seemed to have more at
stake than he had. But this stolidity is one of the chief
characteristics of hiB nature. That and his ability to con-
centrate all his energies upon oue thing at a time have been
great factors of his success. His horse farm, big and valua-
ble as it is, constitutes only a small feature compared with
his other business. Besides the mines, to whicb he gives
probably more thought than to the horses, Mr. Haggin raises
vast quantities of hops and big flocks of sheep. He looks
after his farm and mining affairs as a mutter of business. He
looks after his horses more as a matter of recreation." He
tBkes pleaBiire in all his forms of business, but it is his breed-
ing farm and the horses that i. fiord him tbe rest which a man
so rich and busy must have. He passes much of his time in
New York, though necessarily he travels a great deal, aud of
course, is often in California.

Brentwood Trotters.

A. correspondmt from Brentwood writes that their district
is coming to the front among trotters. He says that they
have several promising trotters there-. Mrs. N. R Hurriss and
Mound Ranch owns Rollie H., by Anteeo, dam Ilummiuc
Bird by George M. Patchen Jr. He is at present being
trained by Jas. Corcoran on the Petalumn race track. Mrs.
Harris also has a yearling and a two-year-old, both fillies by
Antevolo, dam Humming Bird. The two year-old shows
every indication of trotting fast in what little work it has
had. Humming Bird was stinted to Director this year.

Mr. N. R. Harris has some very well bre 1 trotting stock
his jnveuiles bo fur seem to be very good. Oue is a yearling
gelding I y Cleveland (by Antee..) duni Queen by G. M Palch-
eu Jr.: another yeailiug, also a gelding is by Rullie H. dam
Fanny by Black Hawk. Mr. Harris also has a Rollie H
yearling out of D.iisy Demi (a fast pacer with quite a local
reputation) who trots like a streak. Queen visited Sidney
this year. Mr. Smith (at present in Europe) has been mak-
ing a successful seaaou with Cleveland. Shafer who has
had charge of him sa\B Mr. Smith has some particularly
good yearlings on bia Suuol place including colts by Director

ROD.

The fishermen all agreed that Sunday last was one of the
best days of the season. The scene around the Tibnron
DepcL was a lively one indeed. People were swarming in
from all directions loaded down with fish.

Ed. Cahill, of the O. A. C, accompanied by a lady friend,
did some good work in the neighborhood of Kershaw's Point.
Notwithstanding the fact that it took this young couple four
houis to eat lunch on the beach, they were able to show
over ninety very fair sized rock cod on their retnrn to the
boat landing.

Ben. Naphthally, the well known police court lawyer, was
seen straggling along the wharf at Tiburon on Sunday,
bearing on his shoulders at least fifty pounds of rock-cod.

Two men, whose names could not be ascertained, caught
close to two hundred pounds of rock-cod at Lime Point on
last Sunday.

From all points along the Marin County Shore favorable
reports were received on Sunday, and the majoiity of the re-
ports stated that the fish caught were all good sized ones.

To-morrow shoald also be a good day, the tides being even
more favorable than on Sunday iast.

Postal carrier Bottemly and a friend named Hannon made
a very large catch at Angel Island on Sunday.

On last Monday D. Strong and a companion named Bice
tried their luck in the vicinity of Arch Rock, and at the close
of their day's work their sacks contained over three hundred
pounds of fish.

Messrs. Ed. Murphy and Jack Kelly caught 100 pounds of
rock cod at Lide Point on Sunday laBt.

Smelt did not take well on Sunday last, as tbe tide was
running out nearly all day; to-morrow, however, the tide
will be just suited for smelt fishing, and good catches should
be made along the different wharves.

A party of young men from this city rode out to Lake
Merced on Tuesday evening last, and Beveral large black bass
and some very tine carp were caught by the crowd.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited byArphippus.

SUMMARY.

The London Sunday Times says it is the duty of the
Stewards of the Jockey Club to add a few stringent ' new
rules" to prevent the renewal of scandals such as have been
ventilated. First, no partnership in race-horses should be
allowed under any pretext. Secondly, no owner should be
permitted to train in more than one stable at one time.
Thirdly any iockev holding a retainer from any specihe ste,
ble if a horse is running in any race from that stable
should be forbidden to aid any other horse in a different
stable in the same race! Fourthly, the veto agamst jockeys
bettin« shoald be enforced. Fifthly, any trainer owning
hoi-se °and running them should not be permitted to train
for any other person. Sixthly, assumed racing names
should be discontinued. Seventhly, no bookmaker should
be permitted to own horses. The more openly all connected
with turf matters is carried out, the better it will be for
those who have the real interest of the sport at heart.

The amateur runners and walkers have settled down to
hard work, and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Admis-
sion Day. Thinly clad athletes may be seen exercising at
the Bay District Track every afternoon and evening, some
running, some walking, and some jumping, but all having a
hard and set look on their faces as if they meant mischief on
the 9th of September. Many large catches of fish were made
on last Sunday, and the anglers are once more happy. Be-
low will be found a report of the final bonts of the Catch-
a3-catch-can Wrestling Tournament, which was held under
S'ic auspices of the Olympic Amateur Athletic Club.

RUNNEKS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, &C.

There is some talk of an all-round match being arranged
between John Puroell of the O. A. C. of this city, aud A. A.
Joidan of the New York Athletic Club. Mr. Purcell is very
willing that the match shoald be made, and if Mr. Jordan
makes up his mind to come to California, win or lose, he will
be well repaid for his long journey, as the people here would
flock by the thousand, to see these two great athletes strug-
gle for the championship.

It is said that Walter A. Scott will make an effort to smash
the new half-mile running record on September 9th. If any
man on the coast can do it, we think Scott is the man.

Cooley says he will train bard for the next six weeks, and
swears that he will win first medal Or none in the mile on
Admission Day. At all events he is a good runner, and may
,yet hold the Pacific Coast record.

Raye Locke attributes his defeat at the Scottish Thistle
Club's games to want of training. He expects, however, to
do better next year, as he anticipates getting an easier posi-
tion, which would allow him time to train.

Several well known amateur athlets have lately joined the
Golden Gate Athletic Club's anoex.

Y. P. White of the C. A. A. C, is earning quite a name for
himself aa a wrestler. With a little more practice and exper-
ience he shoald be well able to hold his own in a champion-
ship tournament.

With a Btart of tweoty-five yards. Billy Keneally of the O.
A. C. should make it rather hot for McGee in the quarter, on
Admission Day.

By the way, it is reported that McGree has lately got over
the ground in fify-two seconds. Thia report we doubt,
Although this young U. C. athlete is, in oar opinion, the
fastest quarter-mile ranner on the Coast to-day, still we can-
not believe him to be better than fifty-three and a half.
However, he will be compelled to do bis level best at the
next out-door meeting of the O. A. C, and then we will have
a chance to find out what he really is capable of doing.

Charley Hill, the ex-Pacific Coast champion walker, is in
the city at present. The wife of this well known athlete
iec6ntly presented her spouse with a bouncing baby girl,
and Charley asserts that he is now ever happier than when
he first broke the one mile record.

The athletes who won mediils at tbe last championship
meeting of the P C. A. A. A. were iufotmed that their medula
would be presented to them on tbe first night of the wrest-
ling tournament at the Olympic Club Rooms, but the jeweler

went back on his word and the champions were disappointed-
The medals wero not ready until two days after the an-
nounced time, and those who have not yet received their
pr.zes will tind them waiting for them at the office of the
Olympic Club.

At the games of the Acorn Athletic Association of Brooklyn,
N. Y , held on July 13th, E. D. Lange walked half a mile in
3 min., 10 3-5 seoonds. F. L. Lange put the 21-lb shot 34 ft.
7 in ; put the 16-lb shot 40 ft. 9 in., and threw the lG-lb
hammer, without a turn, 108 ft. Great Scott, what show
would our local men have againet sach athletes as these?

THE WHEELMLV.

Eiders lately arrived from the interior report the roads in
first class condition.

The tournament announced tu be held at San Jose on
Admission Day promises to be a big affair. Wheelmen from
all over the State will take part in the races.

The wheelmen are in hopes that some bicycle events will
be added to the programme of the California Stale Fair Asso-
ciation. The State Fair will be held at Sacramento during
the moLth of September, and the wheelmen who take part in
the Admission Day meet at San Jose, will be in fine trim to
race at Sacramento, providing the State Fair Association '
decides to add some bicycle events to their programme.

On account of the San Jose meet the O. A. C. may decide
not to include any bicycle events on their Admission Day
programme.

The novice race at the San Jose tournament will no doubt
attract a large field of competitors.

The annual meet and races of the American Wheelmen
was held at Hagerstown, Md., closing on July4th. Although
the proceedings were somewhat interfered with by rain, the
affair may be termed a success. On the Fourth over five
hundred 'cyclists participated in the parade, which ended at
the Fair Grounds, where the races took place in the after-
noon, in the presence of about three thousand people. Owing
to the soft condition of the track the time made iu the differ-
ent events was rather slow, bat, nevertheless, the con-
tests were interesting. Return" —

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The California Crib Clab has established itself at Mowry's
Hall. If the managers of this new organization have any de-
sire to inciease it's membership, the best thiDgthey can do ia
to secure headquarters nearer down town. Already we have
heard complaints about the location of the club-rooms, and
no matter what inducements the club may offer, they willnot
suffice to make ap for the undesirable location of the club's
quarters.

The Directors of the California Athletic Club aay that as soon
as the improvements at present being made are completed the
initiation fee of the amateur annex will be reduced to $5. and
the monthly dues to $1. Members of tbe annex will be
entitled to all privileges of the club with the exception of
witnessing the monthly "knock out" matches.

Work on the new training grounds of the O. A. C. is being
rapidly pushed, and it is safe to say that everything will be
in readiness for the grand opening ou Admission Day.

The out-door members of the G. G. A. C. are anxiously
awaiting the decision of the club in regard to training
grounds.

An amateur wrestling and boxing tournament will be held
under the auspicesof the California Amateur Athletic Associa-
tion at the new exhibition hall of the C. A. 0. next month. It
is thought that athletes frcm some of the best clubs on Coast
will enter and some lively tussles may be anticipated.

The members of the Pacific Athletic Club is rapidly in*
creasing, and before long the P. A. C. will be as well known
as any of the old established clubs on the coast.

The Pacific Athletic Club will hold its first croBB-country
run next Sunday at Fruitvale under the mauag*ment of Phil
Moody, the young and successful captain of the field team,
who, by hard work, will bring his men iu fine condition for
the coming games. Amongst those who will participate are
Palmer, a promising young mau. Edgar, who will show up iu
the mile race, Culin, a fast 100-yard ruuner, Howard, the
modest heel and toe walker, McKinnou. Herring, C. C.
Johnson, A. Roberts, Joe flesketh, the jovial, scientific and
hard hitter of the club, and a host of others. In regard to
Hesketh, he will now challenge any amateur light-weight of
the Pacific Coast to box for the championship either four
or six rounds under the auspices of the Pacific Athletic Club.
The club will offer a very fine tropby on this occasion valued

at £150.

On Friday evening of last week the catch-as-catcb-cau
tournament at the Olympic Club for the amateur champion-
ships of the Pacific Coast at the various weightB was con-
cluded. Iu tbe feather weights, after Eugene Van Court hail
won a fall iioni R. C. Jones, the latter forfeited the match to
him. At light weight P. P. Bernhard took iwo straight [alia
from L. Greenebaum and the championship at the weicut.
The middle weights were R. G. Cole, a juvenile, and E. A.
Kolb. Both were akilfull and lively, Cole beirg on the ag-
gressive. Cole took the first fall. Mr. Kolb is always very
cautiouB, and when called for the second bout, wrestled
tweoty minutes without a fall, but when called out for the
third ten-minute round, he soon pat oo a hanjnic-7
C-de flat. Mr. Cole theu slated that he VW> suPtnii _
sprained shonlHer, and forfeited the medal and cb;>
ship to Mr. KoIIj. The tournament was very -
throughout.

Grims Gossip.

B. P. ABhe ia in Saratoga looking after hia stable tbere.

There ia some talk of a free-for-all stallion race being given
at the Bay District track before the Angust meeting ends.

Ibe nest paymeot in the Vaiiejo Colt Stakea ia due on the
first. .

Andy McDowell arrived at the Bay District track on Wed-
nesday with the Saliabury spring.

Dustina'a J. R. by Richard's Elector, trotted three heats
on Tuesday, all inside thirty.

Charles Derby, by Steinway, has joined Hickok's stable
again.

Grace S. shoald make a hardy campaigner as she seems
able to ge innnmerable heats inside :25.

FJ Rio Rey has captured Monmouth vistors— they are ail
taken with his shape.

C. L. Woods is the manager of the San Luis Obispo track
and is working diligently to get it in arBt-class order for the
fall meeting;.

Sonoma County has within its limits three mile and one-
half mile track, and there has betn some talk lately of build-
ing another at Cloverdale.

Several Eastern paDera say that a prominent horseman 1b
on his way herd to buy Stamboul. He must come with a
big sack if he proposes having him.

Strathway. 2:26, by Steinway, dam Countess (dam of Dawn,
2:19*) and Emma Temple, 2:28, by Jaokson Temple, 2:'68'i,
are being worked by H. H. Helman on the Petaluma track.

Nominations to the P. C. T. H. B. A. free-for-all and 2:30
class purses will close on August 1st. Horses need not be
named for the free for-all until Ootober 9th.

B. C. Wright, of Mendocino, baa sold to tbeRancho Cotate
his chestnut mare Lady Del Sur by Del Sur, 2:24£, dam
Cecilia Clark by Clark Chief 89 (sire of Kentucky Prince).

One Eistern paper says Garrison evidently wears a nnm-
five hat; another, that he has the big head. Probably both
are correct.

The bay filly Adelaide by Grinstead, dam Victoria, owned
by R. S- Padd >ck, has been leased by Kelly and Samuels.
The term extends for two seasons.

Sam Gamble says he shall go East to pick up a stallion for
next season. If he finds one to suit him he will probably go
in for the Wilkes blood this time.

Jim Douglas is in training in Montana. Some of our local
talent will not have such an easy time if they strike Jim in
his b^st form up there.

Dick Havey's crack yearling was brushed up eeveral times
on Tuesday and finally sent the last half mile of the track,
which he readily covered in 1:18, pulling up.

Pete Brandow was happy a few days ago, when he beat
Mortimer, driven by (Tom) Hickok's lieutenant, down the
stretch at the end of a slow mile, with his Abbotsford mare

The Cleveland Trotting aDDuuiaauH offer a purse of $5,000
for Axtell, if he can beat the stallion record 2:13£. Mr.
Williams, the owner of Axtell, is specially preparing his colt,
to win the purse.

A lot of new stalls are being erected behind the grand
Btand at the Bay District Track for Senator Stanford. Mar-
vin will bring about a dozen head up next week, including
Palo Alto, 2:20^ who will go in for the 2:20 class.

E. C. Long of St. Paul has sold to Marcus Daly of Mon-
tana the well-known trotting mares, Fanny Witherspnon
2:16* and Belle P., 2:15£. They will go to the Bitter Root
Farm and be bred.

Senator Hearst has among his brood-mares a five-year-old
half sister to Estelle. called Elsie Ban, late Bankura (King
Ban — Booty). She should nick well with Cheviot.

Lidy Button, the dam of Alexander Button 2:26£ (sire o^
Yolo Maid 2:14) is at the Roaa Dale Breeding Farm, Sonoma
County. She has a fine yearling, and also a auoking colt,
b >th of which are by Daly. The old Lady i3 looking extremely
well although over 22 3'eais of age.

Of course you have heard that Sunol has broken down —
everybody has. Well, Sunol was sent a mile lately in 2:20,
the first three-quarters at a moderate gait, and the laat quar-
ter in 31$ second. Funny how these broken down trotters
manage to cover the ground.

A letter from T. E. Moore of "The Cedars" Shawhan, Ky.,
givea me the information that the brood mareB, or rather
those saved from the fire which occured on May 6th, have
been bred to Victor Von BiBtnarck, Twilight and Anteeo.
The latter was served to the Victor Von Bismarck fillies, and
Mr. Moore ia confident that the croes will be a good one.

El Rio Rey makea his first appearance on an extreme" East-
ern track to-day in the Red Bank Stakes at Monmouth Park.
He is not nominated for the junior champion, unfortunately,
bnt he is entered, however, for the rich Great Eclipse Stakes'
Larchmont Stakes and White Plains Handicap of the New
York Jockey Club.

Jockey Martin does not seem to give satisfaction to his
employers or the public. Mr. Withers last year gave orders
that he was never to ride again for him, and was much
amii/ed to see him upon Fitzroy in the Midsummer Handi-
cap at Monmouth. Martin's riding is said to have been
more than suspicious ou that occasion.

Lee Shaner does not seem to have come to the scratch in
his offer to trot Lot Slocum, 2:17,1, or Dawn, 2:19£, against
Alfred S., 2:21. Probably Lee thought it would not be doing
right to Bpt.il one of the main attrm-tioDs to the circuit races?

The purses offered by the Fair Associations in the Grand
Circuit are unusually large, and are devoid of ulringa. Our
horsemen should show their appreciation of this progressive
movement by miking liberal eDtries at these meetings.

The Directors of the Stocktuu Agricultural Society will, in
all probability, offer a f ree-for-ali stallion purae. This should
have a large entry list, as positively Mr. Corbitt will not
start Sable Wilkes Luis vear in anw

The new infirmary advertisement of Dr. Thoa. Bowhill,
appears in the current issne.

From the list of entries, received for the lone Meeting,
it looks to a man up a tree, that Kelly and Samuels had a
cinch on several of the racea.

Frank H. Burke is going to have ten new stalls built for his
horBes at the Bay District. He has also purchased Stella D.,
a full sister to Alfred S., the price paid being $650.

We have a very interesting letter from Humboldt which
will have to lay over until next week owing to lack of apace.

The running races at the Petaluma track Anguat 27th to
August 31at are all free purees. If running horse owners do
not come forward under these inducements, there is every
likelihood that some of these aaaociations will have to drop
the galloper in future.

J. C. Simpson has given up hiB thoroughbred stable.
Rathbone won both his matches in good style againBt Bryant
W., but since has broken down, and, with the five-year-old
mare, has been turned out. Spanish Charlie is now out of
employment, but should soon have another engagement.

Jimmy Dustin is giving Almont Patchen steady work.
Last Wednesday the pacer was given four heats, the first
three about in 2:26 and the last in 2;19. Maggie E. was
driven two heats just inside 2:30, and a third in 2:24, the
last quarter in 32£ seconds.

We are glad to learn that the Pleasanton Stock Farm
Company has abandoued its intention of working the Mon-
tana Circuit, and will patronize the home circles. Had Gold
Leaf been taken to the mountains it would have left only
Adonis, 2:14J, and Almont Patchen, 2:15 to compete in the
free-for-all pace.

J. H. Kelly, of San Bernardino, has Bold to B. C. Holly, of
Vaiiejo, the 'cheBtnut mare Pink (2:29iJ) by Inca, dam by
Echo. Friend Holly will probably make a strong bid with
her for the 2:30 class purseB through the circuit.

Johnny Goldsmith has sold hia mare Sister V., by Sidney,
2:19£, dam the dam of Valensiu, 2:23, to Oregon parties for
$8,000. She must be pretty hot goods, and a good many of
our 2:30 class horae owners will be glad to learn she will be
out of their way through the circuit.

Ariel Lathrop's four-year-old pacer was given two steady
heats on Tuesday and then sent right out, but breaking
"oing round the bend, was almost pulled up. Hickok got
him going again and paced the last half in 1:12, the last
quarter in 23 seconds.

Our reporter evidently got slightly mixed in hia returns of
the Portervilie races on the 3d and 4th, probably owing to
participation in the celebration. Mr. Clancy, editor of the
Portervilie Enterprise, kindly supplies the corrections.
Judge Kyle is the property of Capt. J. Hayes; C. Neebit's
Milkmaid was the winner of the quarter mile dash, not H.
Conner's Birdie.

Frank Burk sent aix borsea up to the Bay District track
from San Jose laat Tuesday, viz: Eroa, hia pretty Electioneer
stallion; a rangy bay Anteeo mare, four-year-old; Wanda,
another four-year-old mare, by Eros; Marqnita, a good look-
ing bright bay mare by Eros; Halcon, a three -year-old Fallis
mare, and Daylight, a brown two-year-old gelding

Sports Afield, the Denver sporting paper, asks in the car-
rent issoe, ""What better business can a rancher go at than
mule raising?" It would be hard to say from this far West-
ern point, but most of "our folks" this way are at present
devoting all their energies toward raising aomething that will
beat Axtell. It may be that mules would pay better in the
long run, but aa yet it ia a — ?.

Noonday has been Bublet by Sam Gamble to D. M.Reavis,
Chico, subject to the owner's approval. The splendidly bred
aon of Wedgewood, 2:19 and Noontide, 2:20£, Bhonld prove a
great acquiaition to the Chico ranch, which has some very
valuable brool mares.

Tempest, 2:19, by Hawthorne, dam by Chieftain, has
arrived Bafely at Buenos Ayres. Mr. Hammond, who took
the mare to South America, writes that she did not miss a
Bingle meal on the trip, and notwithstanding there were
twenty-one horeea on the steamer, the Californian was more
admired than any of the balance on landing.

The caae of Weaver vb. S*"orn which had been carried to
the superior court of Sacramento Co., was deoided Wednes-
day in favor of the plaintiff. This was an action to deter-
mine whether Weaver should receive $20 or $25 per month
us a horse robber, the former being the usual price paid to
men performing this work. The court decided on the higher
price and Matt Storn will have to pay the difference. The
lower court had already decided in favor of Mr. Storn.

Of all men commend me to one who loves horse flesh-
Not your swaggering, tough, rough and loud jockey, up to
every trick, and who is in the busmess for the sly dollars he
can palm; but the man who loves and respects the horse for
the horse itself. A man that loves a horse cares for him and
treats him with kindness and consideration; such a man,
you will find, is a man in the true sense of the word. As a
rule, such a man is genial, warm-heartsd and mild, and
generous to a fault.— Quarter-Stretch.

The District Fair which takes place in September at Cen-
tral Point, Oregon, is expected to be a big success. F. C.
Sheridan of Roseburg, L. Swan oi Yreka, Dr. Van Dpke and
Miller & Chaualor uf Grant's Pass, N. C. Boynton of Ashland,
Dr. Lewis of Medford, James McDonough of Willow Springs,
C. W. Kahler, J. N. T. Miller and E C. Brooks of Jackson-
ville, and other prominent local horsemen are interesting
themselves, and entrieB are expected from all the notable
horse owners in the Willamette Valley.

The great luck of the Duke of Portland continues. July
19th his four-year-old colt Ayrshire, by Hampton, out of
Atlanta, won the Great Eclipse Stakes, at a mile and a quarter
at Sandown Park, England. He carried the top weight, 14*
pounds. Mr. Douglas Baird's three-year-old colt El Dorado,
by Sterling, out of Palm Flower, 127 pounda, was Hecond,
and the Duohess of Montrose's three-yenr-old filly Seclusion,
by Hermit, out of Boundary, 124 pounda, was third. There
were six starters. The value of the Great Eclipse Slakes to
the winner is C10, 000, with £f)00 additional to the nominator
which also went to the Duke of Portland , The second
received £500 and the third £100. Ayrshire also won the
Royal Stakes at Kempton Park, worth £9,500, on May 11,
and it may be truly said that the colt is worth his weight in
gold.

It will be good news to the backers of the Baldwin Stable
to learn that Jookey Barnes has signed to ride for "Lucky"
for the balance of the season.

Taylor, who has ridden so successfully for the Dwyer
stable this seasoD, has been engaged to ride for the Lorillard
stable the rest of the year.

A full list of the entries for the Spirit Purse has been re-
ceived, and it ia aeen that 559 nominations have been made
to the purs6, of which 138 are from California. When it is
considered that there are twenty-four states represented, and
that this State makes almost one-third of the entries, it is "a
atraw" that speaks for itself. The following are the entries:
Frank H. Burke, 9; Wm. Corritt, 28; John A. Goldsmith. 2;
J. B. Haggin, 10; G. W. Hancock, 1; James P. Kerr. 2; Palo
Alto, 5S; Wilfred Page, 1; Pleasanton Stock Farm Company,
5; L. J. RoBe, 5; L. H. Titus, 1; Col. H. I. Thornton, 1;
Valensin Stock Farm, 12.

There is a very bad outlook for the free for all pacing race
to fill on what is known as the grand circuit. The celebrated
pacer AdoniB is the subject of a prospective law suit, and it
will not be possible to enter him lor at least some time. As
this only leaves Almont Patchen and Gold Leaf as probable
entries, there is little likelihood of tha race filling. This will
be a source of disappointment to many, who have looked for-
ward to see this great trio have any quantity of battles royal
down the line.

The Directors of the Napa Association have made quite a
number of changes at their track, including the building of a
large addition to the stall room. The fence nearest the street
has been placed back eighty feet and the street leading up to
the box office widened to sixty feet. The narrow entrance
way is also enlarged considerably, and the. accomodation for
public materially increased. The hotels will strain every
point to find room for the visitors, and a special line of
stages will run daily, after races, to the various Bpringsin the
immediate neighborhood, and for which Napa is so famous.
Taken all in all the vineyard city will be in its glory during
race week, and thoBe who attend will have an enjoyable time.

The Tulare Driving Park Association has been formed and
have just had a half mile track built, situated about a mile
from the City of Tulare, says the FreBno Turf, upon which it
s expected many an interesting contest will take place among
San Joaqaiu Valley trotters. The following named gentlemen
are the directors of the aBBooiation: Edward Eaton, J. F.
Batchelder, S. H. DeWitt, and Joseph Clark. They will in-
augurate the racing season by a series of races, the details of
which will be duly advertised. The Directors of the associa-
tion are all men of good financial Btanding and responsibility,
noted for their business integrity and sagacity, in addition to
their able qualifications as horsemen, that will insure the
success of their undertaking, and mark their track as one of
the most popular in the Valley.

Hon. Frank L. De Long of Novato, Marin County, the rep-
resentative of hia district in the State Senate, ia one of the
leading horticulturists on "the coast," Commissioner of the
Fourth Agricultural District (Sonoma and Marin), being
largely interested in the immense fruit and vegetable canning
establishment located at Petaluma, he has now been ap-
pointed by Governor Waterman as a member of the State
Board of Agriculture, in place of the Hon. J. Mc. M. Shatter,
resigned. Mr. De Long does not claim to be a horse breeder,
but we very much doubt if there be a man in the State who
takes a greater interest in fine stock of all descriptions, or
more dearly loves a "horse race" than doeB the new member
of the State Board. A better appointment has not been made
in many years.

Entries to a great many meetings close on August 1st, and
as soon as notified by the Secretaries we shall publish them.
We should like to call the attention of horse ownerB as well
as of secretaries to a defect or omission in the trotting horse
rules which all horsemen would be pleased to see corrected.
The rnles require that the sex, color and name of entry shall
be stated; also the name of eire and of dam when known; or,
If unknown to be so stated. It seems to us a grave omission
that the sire of the dam should not be exacted, when .known.
There might for instance, be three or more entries reading
as out of a mare called Beautiful Bells; yet the name might
represent three different mares, sired by three different
horses, neither of which was The Moor.

It is an excellent indication of how generally and deeply
the science of breeding is studied and believed in, that even
drivers and gamblers ask 'how is the dam bred ?' before they
risk their money.

Please give us the sires, as well as, the names of the dams.

The Secretary informs ua that he is still getting additions
to the membership list of the Breeders' Trotting Horse Asso-
ciation, bnt there are over one hundred and fifty names in
this State alone not on the list that shoald be there. Breeders
and others interested in track horses all over this coast should
not wait to be personally solicited. The membership fee
($25) and the dues ($5) are so extremely moderate that they
do not warrant the employment of solicitors and collectors.
Send in your names, post-office addreasea and a check to
oover the membership fee ($25) to Wilfred Page, Secretary,
poat-offioe Penn's Grove, Sonoma County, Cal. The annual
dues will not be due nor collected until the first trotting
meeting in October next.

At last Frank Baldwin haa returned from his Eastern trip,
and failed to bring any entrieB with him for the $20,000 run-
ning race at FreBno. It is thought that there were three
entries made, but as yet the association have given out no
official news about the matter. As stated in last weeks
Breeder and Sportsman, four. entries were made from the
East for the 2:80 trotting puree, and five from thia State.
The names of the nominators are as follows: CharleB Stiles
of Chicago, W. H. McCarty of New York, Bndd Doble for G.
B. Effner of Buffalo, Jim Page of Cheyenne, S. P. Emoison
of Oakland, Charles Dupee of Lob Angeles, b. C. Holly of
Vaiiejo, Orrin A. Hickook and Alfred Gonzales of San Fran'

"The Oregon Suoker" is the unpoetio cognomen of a
dudish Israelite with a massive aane that has been pluDging
on the races at Washington Park. He came over the Rockies
in company with the Maltese Villa Stable, and must be
blessed with wonderful luok, or has stood in with the alleged
oolored combine,'as he was parading around in front of the
press-stand the other day with hat in hand filled full of green-
backs that he had not room for in his pocket. One of the
Boribee suggested champagne, and The Sucker responded,
but he has given the section of the grand-stand a wide berth
since. He is credited with very large winnings. — Chicago

THE_GTJN,

Mr. Spooner (iroes Campinff.

Camp Clear Spring, one mile Eastoe Glexcoe, on \
the Old West Point Trail, July 18, 1889. J

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — We left Stockton at 9
a. m , July 8th, in camp rig specially fitted to carry our par-
ty of five — Mrs. Spoouer, Miss Sue and Master John P., Jr.,
and John Hammond, Jr., and your correspondent. By easy
stages and sundry visits to our friends, we arrived here on
the Saturday folowing, at noon. Mr. MeNoble, whom
everybody here knows, took us in charge, and in true cava-
lier style has seen that nothing is wanting to make us enjoy
to the fullest our ' onting." Although his years are almost
three score, he daily comes fo our camp with some luxury
that campers seldom get — vegetables, fruits, etc.

One day his son " JVill" pilots the two Johns to North
Fork of Mokelumne, next day to the "Reservoir," and so it
has been all the while; consequently, we have had some four
kinds of trout on our table at a time— and svchjish! Our
camp is under a lone oak, which for near one hundred feet
casts a shadow all day. In the shadow we find ainple room
for our tent, wagon and equipage. Sitting at the door of
our tent, we see doves and quail in flocks come to the spring
to drink, only thirty yards away, and one of the prettiest
sights witnessed for many a day has been the antics of a pair
of quail and brood of some eighteen chicks now two-thirds
grown, but all very tame. The road running by us being
old and now uuused, we have, what we came for, perfect
quiet, no one coming over it unless to our camp. We find
the Indians in this vicinity pretty good fellows so far.
Though lying around under trees promiscuously, they are
liable to scare your horse, so he will unseat you if you are
not careful.

We find doves are still nesting. In fact, on the day we
left home, Charles Merrill, "the trap shot," told us, he being
then running a harvester, that doves* nests with eggs in
them were very plenty. "We saw more doves at Valley
Spring and Rich Gulch than any other place. We find con-
siderable many here, but they are later in nesting and more
scattered. The woods seem full of quail; but the people
here say they are valley quail, and will be gone long before
the law permits them to shoot a mess. Deer are here, but
very shy, and it's a good man every way who can catch one.
Some beautiful mountain climbing is required to reach this
place, and more natural magnificence is revealed to the "eye
of one who looks to see" after arriving here. " In fact, all of
you who have stolen away from business, as the writer has,
now and then, and can enjoy a rest among the pines, know
how beautiful our mountains are To those who are not yet
initiated let us say, array yourself in old clothes and steal
away, and lie on the moumain top where, under the pines,
you can hear the tree-tops whispering with the angels.
You'll return to business new people, and rich in health and
experience, your ideas axid views of everything broader and
nobler and more generous, because you have communed
with Nature, and where is a more generous teacher?

J. Pitcher Spooner.

Seattle Notes.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman : Now that the lull in
the storm has occurred and the great prize fight and its at-
tendant excitement is over, we have got our second wind
and again turn our attention to every-day affairs.

Seattleites are recovering from the late fire, and her
sportsmen and trap shooters are oiling up their weapons of
defense, otherwise their inanimate target pulverizers, and
making ready for the coming campaign among the grouse,
pheasant, snipe, quail and duck, which abound throughout
our Northwestern Territory; those whose ambition soars
higher are laying their plans for larger game; the elk, deer,
grizzly and culms and Rocky Mountain goat will lose many
from their ranks the coming season if the boys do as they
expect and promise.

Lovers of the rod and line are having good sport among
the trout in our many swift and beautiful streams flowing
from our numerous mountains Dr. Swett, your whole-
souled and thorough San Francisco sportsman, had great
sport in Ihe Cedar River at Cedar Mountain with some Seat-
tle anglers. The catch being large, the Doctor showed our
anglers what California sportsmen were composed of; no
finer angler has yet appeared amongst us.

During the late tournament a very pleasant incident oc-
curred, which was attributed to Dr. Partington in the report
of the Breeder and Sportsman, but Dr. Swett was the gen-
tleman meant He, not being a member of the As-ociation,
was not eligible to compete for the medal, which parties,
getting th>-ir ten straight live birds, tied for, and therefore
by getting into this bole there were no honors for the Doc-
tor; he having got his nine straight everybody expected and
intimated that he would miss his tenth bird, as by doing so
he would tie for a big purse

The Doctor stepped to the score, and his bird was a regu-
lar screamer, a white one which went straight up towards
the clouds. The Doctor stopped it in great style, and, turn-
ing to the wondering audience, "Gentlemen," he says, "I
wouldn't have missed that bird for anything, and put my-
self in such a light before you all, I shoot for pleasure and
not for profit."

What a yell went up from that crowd, a number of sports-
men wringing the doctor's band with great good will, the
ladies in particular were louohed by the very sportsmanlike
but uncommon aotion. *

The doctor will find a very warm spot in some of hia
friends breasts here for him.

A few more such sportsmen would elevate our morals won-
derfully in shooting and sporting circles.

Silalicum and the "eccentric poet" leave for the Somas, j
one of the grandest trout streams in the country next month,
where the elk, deer, grizzly and goat hold forth, and several !
varieties of grouse, wnipe, duck, brant and goose do love lo I
gather, no finer section for sport can be found on this or |
any other world. Mt. Baker's huow clad crests will be de-
riled and polluted by the tread of their city-made boots, and
the echo of the reports of modern firearms will be hurled
defiantly back from crag to peak, with what result they prom-
ise to inform you upon their return.

If their purse holds out they intend wrestling the mys-
teries from Oljmpia's dismal ice bound cairns. The Olympic
ranges are threatened with an invasion before many more
mooDs have passed over their heads. If possible a photo-
grapher will go along to *huot, tbe mountains to keep them
from [ailing on tbe interlopers. These vast ranges although
within a very short distance of Seattle and all other sound
cities, are entirely nnexplortd and unknown, bnt it is to be
hoped that snob will not be the case v*»ry long, as they are
liiipposed to be a veritable sportsman's paradise, and as near

being the "Indians happv hunting grounds" as it is possible
to find in this one horse world of ours.

The jolly and irrepressible Mr. Robertson is still Holding
his own, and at the 18 or 30 yard mark his Smith gun still
continues to dust the saucers and stop our 40 cent live
birds. Its a very cold day when Bob's smiling countenance
is not amongst the boys.

Mr. "W. A. Hardy, our popular caterer to the Bporting wants
of our many good and enterprising shots, has been doing
good work with his beautiful shooting iron. His brother
Joe, although he haR not been seen at tbe trapB very long,
has been doing phenomenal Bhooting of late andwe expect to
hear from him very often in the future.

The fraternity were out to the Seattle Kod and Gun Club's
grounds on July 4th, the attendance being small, tbe day
very warm and scores only fair. This club has adopted
the Keystone target altogether. Our other club, the Queen
City, uses the Bine Keck Pigeon altogether.

"While the Keystone i- giving pretty fair satisfaction, hav-
ing a regular flight and very few balks in trapping, they fail
to break with anything like the certainty of the Peoria
Blackbird, which we believe to be the best target in ubo to
day, with its beautiful regular and flat flight of great swift-
ness and certainty of breakage when hit at all. They are the
nearest approach to the flight of a quail of any tareet on the
market, and we are sorry to see other birds adopted.

Some whose scores are the highest on the Keystones can
do very little with the Blackbirds.

Both clubs shoot from five traps set according to American
Association Rules, which rules are very nearly perfect, ac
cording to my way of thinking.

Target Practice Rules.

As the Code has been amended to require the National
Guard of California to parade for target- practice at least twice
in the year, Adjutant General Orton has promulgated rules
to govern the same this year.

He has ordered that the first practice shall take place in
camp, or at such time as may be designated. No State dec-
orations will be issued for scores made at the tirstday'a prac-
tice, except to the beBt shot in the c.inpany and each gen-
eral and regimental staff to whom a silver badge will be
awarded, provided the score is at least 35 out of a possible
50, or 70 per cent.

Non-commissioned officers and members of regimental
bandB will Bhoot with the staff of tbe organizitiou to which
they are attached, and such details will be made "as may be
necessary to prevent fraudulent scores being made or re-
ported." No Bcore will be considered legal unless made with
the Springfield rifle or carbine or the revolver issued by the
State, the distances being for rifle 200 yards, for caibine 175
yards, and for pistol 40 yards.

SHOOTING IN UNIFORM.

Every officer and enlisted man will tire ten Bhots and no
sighting shots will be allowed, all competitors to appear in
fnll dress or fatigue uniform, and this rule to be ''strictly
enforced" against retired officers bb well as all others. Ab-
sentees from whatever cause will be counted as having fired
and missed in figuring the percentage of the command. Or-
ganizations delinquent in sending in their reports of tbe
practice will not receive the State decoration for marksman-
ship. The State decoration will be awarded as follows:

To each competitor who shall make not leRs than 50 per
cent, or an aggregate of fifty points upon both days of the
annual competition, the bronze decoration and (or) bronze
marksman's bar.

To each competitor who shall make not less than SO per
cent, or an aggregate of eighty points upon both days of the
anuual competition, the bronze decoration and (or) the silver
rifleman's bar.

To each competition who Bhall make 90 per c**nt, or
an oggregate of ninety points npan both dayB of tbe annual
compeiition, the bronze decoration and (or) the gold sharp-
shooter's bar.

THE CHAMPION DECORATIONS.

To the competition who shall make tbe highest Bcore, not
nnder 90 per cent, will be awarded the champion gold decora-
tion and bar.

To tbe competition who shall make the second best score
not under 00 per cent, will be awarded a silver decoration and
bar.

In case of ties being made for the gold or Bilver decoration,
they shall be shot off under the direction and supervision of
the Inspector-General of Rifle Practice. No competitor will
be awarded either decoration or bar who shall have attended
less than 60 per cent of company drille ior the preceding
year. This rule applies to members of companies.

Bars only will be issued to those who have already received
the Ltate decorations.

To be used in the competition 32,000 ball cartridges have
been issued of which the Second Brigade will receive 18.000
and theeconomical Adjutant-General adds; •'Theempty shells
should be saved and may be retained by the different orgaDi
zations. They are suitable for reloading."

Inter-Club Tournament-

Most gratifying interest is being shown in the proposed
match between club teams, to be brought off at San Jose in
October.

The last letter in relation to the matter is from Mr. C. E.
Mack of Sacramento County, who wrrites to Major S. I. Kel*
logg as follows:

bACRAMEXTO COCNTT UNION HQUSE, July 14, 18S9.

Dear Sir: — Your favors of July 12. h are at hand. I will
say in reply I saw onr President, Mr. J. M. Morrison, to-day,
and he informed me that the Pacific Gun Club did not hold a
meeting last Wednesday. He said, moreover, that he was
heart and soul in favor the friendly shoot spoken of by yon,
but as sis or seven of our boys are away, that it would be
hard to get a team together before, Bay, August 18th, or
thereabouts. The boys will all have returned ir^m their
outings by that lime, and will, no doubt, go in. This is a
very popular move, and every shooter I have accosted has
been in favor of it. I know we can get a team together who
will shoot, and who will also go to San Francisco on a return
shoot. Thus yon see the situation as it is; the boys are go-
ing away and gone, and, consequently, my club is not in
working order. I go to-morrow to Tahoe, to be gone four
weeks.

In conclusion, I assure you there will be no trouble iD get-

Wild Game in California.

In no other portion of the United States— or, for that mat-
ter, in the world — is wild game found bo varied and so
plentifullv as on the Pacifio Crast. In Oregon and Washing-
ton there is now greater abundance and more species, for
obvious reason besides natural endowment. These are, in
the sense of the world's nomenclature, newer ocuntnes, and
therefore of Iosb area of population for the hunting of game :n
the regions in which wild game make their habitats. Only
on the Coast is the grizzly bear found. The common bear is
another of the Bpecies found nowhere else. Moose are rarely
found, but they roam the northern territory as they
do that of Maine. Elk and the different species of deer are
common annual game for sportsmen — unfortunately for all,
Bkin hunters also aggress upon it. Antelope have been
driven from the coast, or exterminated by ruthless slaughter,
and are now seen only in parts of Montana and Wyoming.
In tbe early years of the gold hunting they were numerous
on the vast plains of the San Joaquin, and ranged tbe
valley of the Sacramento. They haa never been hunted,
and showed no concern or tear of the presence of man. In
1849 and 1S50 it was not an unusual thing for packers, team-
s ers, and parties going to the mines or returning, to see bands
of antelope bounding close to the trails and side roadways as
if in temptation or defiance ot shooting. From this state
they have entirely disappeared. The hunter at length got
in his deadly work, and the instinct of the animals, with
which all ot brute and dumb creation, whether of the land or
sea, is endowed, impelled the pureued to haunts of refuge in
distant lands across the mountains. Likewise with elk.
The miners of the Northern diggings and of the Southern dig-
gings— as the gold regions were classed in pioneer days —
could readily find fresh meat for their use in camp while
prospecting, and those inclined to the sport made good wages
in hunting to sopply the camp*). Elk were found from the
North American, the Yuba and Feather rivers high up on
the Sacramento, along the Cosumnes, and as far down as the
San Joaquin, the Stanislaus, the Tuolumme, the Calaveras
and the Merced, which coursed though the Las Mariposas.
The extreme Western coast north of San Francisco to the
Oregon line which was then embraced in the Sonoma dis-
trict, was practically unknown, except tbe portions along
San Francisco and San Pablo, and the country which now
comprises the counties of Meuaocino, Lake, Humboldt, and
Del Norte, Trinity, Siskiyou and Modoo, had been only in-
differently explored. In this extensive region Ihe heavy
coated and antlered game — bear, elk and deer— were most
abundant. The lofty mountains, the^deep ravines, the con-
fined valleys, the occasional snow, the perennial warmth, the
torrent streams, the placid lakes, the refreshing brooks, th«
giant forests, the grateful shade, the dense chaparral and
nutritious grasses, singularly ntted this vast region for the
homes and haunts of the wild bruie species of the different
genera. The great rivers and tributary streams were habi-
tats of the tinny tribes, and these and the marshes were the
favored attractions of the wild fowl, whioh in yearly flight
from the breeding places of the colder climes reaching to the
Arctic, naturally made selection in the southern flight as
birds of paBBage to the regions of best fare.

The wild game of California in the pioneerfperiod embraced
in fowls almost every species from canvas back to wood-duck,
from widgeon and teal to doves. Passengers on the river
steamers made it a common sport to gather upon the forward
lower deck, on tbe passage between San Francisco and Beni-
cia, to shoot into the muJtitudes-of ducKs which Bwarmed
the bay. From the river sailing craft the same— all indulged
in it, whether for present food or for sport. The country
seemed overrun with game never before hunted, and none
seemed to think that it could ever be materially thinned, or
driven away, or exterminated. The cnstom was, and every-
body carried fire-arms, to shoot on sight and at random at
everything that could be shot. It was a generation of nu-
mindfnlness, recklessness and destruction. California was
regarded Merely as a place to load up with the expectant
"pile," then to depart from; and none borrowed care with
thought of involving comiug generations to suffer therefrom.
Killing ifl quick; to grow is tediouB process. California is a
land of regretful and exasperating reflections in some respects
— in none more bo, with any who are fond of sport, than in rela-
tion to game and sport. It is as in cases in the Old World,
where primogeniture rules, in which a spendthrift possessor
squanders and inextricably sinks the patrimonial estate, be-
yond the means of the next in*inheritance to- redeem the

prized broad acres and the precious memorials of the stately
halls.

Still, and notwithstanding the waste and destruction of
game in past years, California maintains high rank in every
game— flesh, fowl and rish; in the species of these most befit-
ted to sporiiog. Of deer, why the woods are foil of them.
Say you birds, you need go only to the vineyards and wel-
come for quail, and elsewhere to a free range and everything
inviting and favorable, to shooting of other varieties ol good
game kinds. To pot hunters the jack rabbit may compensate
for the antelope, and other Bpecies of game in the manner;
but the SDOrtsman aims at excellence, and will neither shoot
against rule nor angle in a mud pool. Game has its aristo-
cracy of consideration, and properly. It has better right to
the distinction than many of the haughty who lay claim to
it.

Although much of the wild game or of the species of it,
has either become scarce or disappeared since the pioneer
period, California can still boast of moie than any State
to the eastward, and ample to supply the zealous sportsman.
There is yet tine deer shooting in tbe coast counties and in
the interior. Santa Crnz, Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino, Hum-
boldt, Del Norte, Trinity, Siskiyou, Shasta, Modoc. Lassen,
Sierra, Plumas, Butte, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Tehama,
Yolo and Yuba, are to be numbered among the deer haunts.
Lower inthe tier of counties the antlered game is hss abun-
dant. In wild fowl, birds of passage, geese and docks, tbe
whole central portion of tbe State offeis ample field for the
hunter. Along Petaluma and Sonoma creeks the canvas back
excel in quality. On Cache creek, in the marshy portions of
Solano, on the low grounds of tbe Sacrameoto valley, and in
portions of the San Joaquin, are found wild geese and almost
every species of duck, mallard, brant, teal, red-bill, widgeon,
etc., of good food quality. The State lacks not in the
feathered game of the woods and fields — quail, snipe, doves
and otherjkiuds. The waters of the State yield the choicest
fish, from the splendid salmon to the favored tomcod — trout,
percb, shad, has*, smelt, pompano, pike, sole and flounders,
rock cod and stnreeon, and many other species common to
every equal clime. Shell fish are abundant—oysters, clams,
orabs, craw-fish and the smaller fry of which shrimps are
the most favored. From the coast shore to the mountain
summits of the towering Sierras, upon the expansive plains,
and in the thousands of hills, in marsh and in grass, Cali-
fornia is dowered with wild game of choicest qualities. Wise
game laws protect the game against vandal killing. Protect-
ion is ordered for the propagation of this game, of land and
water, of air and marsh. Under these good laws the sur-
viving pioneers and their worthy sons strive to make amends
that are due for the wanton destination of the years in which
the home in the East was lovingly held in fond remembrance
as the haven of desire to quick return, and the land of gold
was regarded simply as the place from which to dig the pile
that should enable an after life of comfort, ea3e and content-
ment. Opinions and endearments have changed in theso
vears, to Buch consequence that the most enamored of Cali-
fornia are these surviving pioneers, unless it be tbeir bobb
and daughters born to the soil, who surpass them in this
love of native home, and bid fair better to advance the glorj"
of the State.

Major S. I. Kellogg has challenged Mr. F J. Bassford, to
shoot for the 8elby Medal representing the championship of
Central California at Blue Ruck Targets and the match will
be shot of at Vacaville on Saturday next, at 50 single and 25
pairs of Blue Rock targets, open to all. Several San Fran-
cisco experts will be present, and a lively time is assured.

There is a grizzly bear hung up in front of one of Seattle's
butcher shops on Cherry screet, which the owners claim to
weigh 1,500 pounds, and after an examination one is led to
believe the weight is about right. He is considerably larger
than Old Bob. the Cinnamon bear which used to "hang out"
in Jefferson Park in Chicago, and Bob weighed over 1,100
pounds when alive. Bob was the largest specimen we ever
saw, looking as big as a camel with a monstrous head and
paws as big as a man's body, his claws being ap thick as a
man's fingers. He was killed some .time since by a small
black bear in an adjoining cage.

During an animated discussion as to the merits of the row-
ing abilities of Tom Fiynn and Jno. Sullivan at the Pioneer
Clab Snnday, Sullivan's enthusiastic admirers were quickly
squelched by the offer of ooe of Fiynn's friends to back him
for a dinner for the whole club, to row two miles any Sunday
with one weeks notice. Sullivan remarked Tom was a hard
nut to crack, and he thought he would follow the illustrious
Jno. L.'s example and retire on his laurels.

Henry Peterson has returned from Salt Like City. He
reports that the boys there are all enthusiasts on the rowing
question, and predicts that when they send down a few
Bamples the boys here will find a surprise in them. Henry
himself wants to row anybody in America at Lbia date, bar-
ring none for $1,000 a side, Hanlan orGaudaur preferred.

ROWING.

David Dean of San Diego has' challenged Charles Long of
the Pioneer Rowing Club to row three miles in best and best
boats for $1,000 aside.

Mr. Lon« signified his willingness to row the distance
named for $500 a side and Mr. Dean will shortly arrive in
this city to meet Mr Long and draw np articles, with a first
deposit of $250 a side. Of course, it is rather early to specu-
late on the winner, but judging from the news records the
race will be anybody's until the finish line is passed

Long has met several of our local scullers, among them
being Wm Growney of tne Ariels, whom he defeated twice
and suffered defeat once. He also won an open regatta, de-
feating Mr. Sullivan and Charles Hall. Dennis Griffin then
came Fo the front, and a match was made between him and
Long for $300 a aide, over the Alameda course, three miles
with a turn, Long winning in 22:18.

Lono next rowed Henry Henchman of Stockton three
miles for $500 a side. The race was rowed over the Stock-
ton course on the 21st of last April, and Henchman won

handily. '. . ., , ■

David Dean has rowed but two match races, both being
against Henchman, and though he was defeated in each, he
and his friends partially attribute his defeat to lack of con-
dition, Dean being badly afflicted with Stockion malaria.
Should Dean win the coming race with Long he will then
again challenge Henchman for the third and last time.

°There is considerable talk of a match race between ¥.
Stockes and Leander Stevenson, the latter being exceedingl)
ansious to row, bnt unable to get backing for the amonnt of
$250 a side, which Stockes is willing to row for. Could
Leander imbue his friends with the same amonnt of confi-
dence he possesses himself, the amonnt of stakes would not
delay the match making many days.

Van Guilpin, of North Beach, also deserves a match with
the Pioneer Sculler, but Stockes declpres he has won medals
enough, and tbe expense and work connected with training
is each that nothing will tempt him into a match but a good
substantial stake.

The piling under the Ariel Boat Club house has become
so badly eaten away bv the Teredo, that they have put some
of Iheir boats in the house of the Pioneer Club until tbey
get into their new quarters.

The matoh between the Dolphin and Ariel Amateur crews
still bangs h-", but the rowers all look for the race anyhow
by July 4, 1S90.

A Notable Pointer.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: —Mr. Hall, who ownB a
fine rancho twelve miles from this city, recently brought from
Belgium a very tine pointer dog which he calls Sam, of breed-
ing that may interest your readers. I was much interested in
the dog's performance in the hills. The dog, although trained
for English hunting, has not forgotten his lessons in the very
interesting art of pointing. Mr. Hall has also thoroughbred
hounds. This would made a model stock farm. Three
hundred acres of the farm are rullina hills, on which grow
the finest grasses. The ranch ib well timbered, and water
all over it. The hills are just sloping enough for stock rais-
ing, as the colt roaming over the hills develope earlier, his
musoles come ont in great shape, his langs expand, aco
when a yearling he has the strength and endurance of two-
year-olds raised on low and even plains. I hope that Mr.
Kail will turn his attention to shoes: breeding. The tollow-
ing is a translation of his fine dog's pedigree:

Santa Barbara, July 22, 1889. T. M.

queBtion has been put, if equal, why are not more of them
winning in the many trials. The answer, after a canvass
among breeders, will be found to be, the fear of prejudice
prevents their being run.

The Llewellin has had his day, the pointer is getting his
innings now, and the Gordon threatens to have his soon. If
the Irish setter has a separate stake offered him for a time,
he will soon win his w.ty to popular favor again.

While the writer believeB there is little choice between the
field merit of the different breeds, each being given the same
opportunities and training, stiil, when it comes to achoioe of
looks, beauty, endurance and color for stubble shooting, he
prefers the red chap every time, if of the right breeding; he
can conceive of no object more beautiful than the present
well bred red dog, with his handsome glossy coat and mus-
cular limbs; absence of white hairs, sticking to ones clothes
is also a desideratum. The modern red dog (American) is
unsurpassed as a gentleman's shooting dog

Tbe imported Btraiusdo not equal the lormer. We have
far better dogs in this country than they have across the big
ditch, our breeders having bred more intelligently, depend
upon it any of the already mentioned specimens produce bet-
ter progeny than the imported articles do.

Many so-called Irish setters in the northwestern
country, are indeed sorry looking specim<ns, but tbe sports-
men are coming and with tbem maDy red dogs of good breed-
ing and quality. The nest few years will find us supplied
with our share of good ones.

The suggestion in a recent issue of the Breeder and
Sportsman for a circuit of shows throughout tbe Pacific
Slope, is a good idea, and would prove a success financially,
and would afford the lovers of the dog a chance to see some
good animals, also enabling those having any such, to exhibit
and discover how they compare with others.

A circuit of shows comprising the leading California cities,
Portland, Oregon, Tacoma ana Seattle in Washington Ter-
ritory, and inny bo one or two of the leading Montana cities,
also pospibly Victoria, B. C, should prove very successful,
but California sportsmen would have to take ibe initiative,
Northwestern doggy men being very backward in coming
forward. Jay See En.

An Irish Setter Stake.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman*:— I see the Indiana
Kennel (Jlub offers an extra Btake for Irish setters exclusively
at their coming trials this fall. ThiB I believe to be a move
in the right direction for many reasons, and I hope the Irish
setter men will respond with many entries.

Irish setter men need encouragement. The entries of
these fine (the Irish setters not the men) animals at field
trials are few and far between, while the number of grand
field performers are many, and increasing every year.

At all bench shows the Irish setters compare favorably
with other classes, and if field trial managements made
separate clauses for them, they would loom np and eventu-
ally hold their own in same classes with the Llewellin and
pointer.

Red Better men believe there still exists a strong prejudice
against the red dog, and think a judge, be he ever so honeHt,
will invariably fail fcu see merit or good work in the red,
overlookii g good points and seeing only tbe bad ooes.

The red dog in the past has earned a reputation for strong
headedness, wilfulness and general ensBedness. Whether
deserved or not it ia not for the writer to say, but such a state
of things no longer exists.

The Irish setter of to-day in America has no superior for
docility, tractability, gentleness, good nose and genuine bird
sense.

The sires and dams, such as Elcho Jr., Glencho, Tim,
Chief, Sarefkld, Brush. Brace, Berkeley, Rory O'More,
Noreen. Lady Elcho T., Leigh Donne aod Leigh DoaDe II ,
Faun, Lorraine and many others, a number of which are
now dead, are producing and have produced progeny equal
to the most famous of our Llewellins and pointers. The

J. M. Avent on Fox Hunting.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Having selected quite
a good pack of red fox hounds for the purpose of breeding
and runnicg in the trials for fox honnds, I claim the name
of "J. M. Avent Red Fox Pack" for my pack. The princi-
pal part of this pack are fiom dogs that I have been running
after red fox for ths past fifteen years, and I am very anxious
to see fox hunting clubs organized iu many different States,
so that I will have a good opportunity to thoroughly test
dogsofeveiy breeding under good, competent judges after
red fox agwiubt the best from the many noted packs in
America.

Most of the hound men in this section are farmers or mer-
chants, and it i^ almost impossible for them, particularly if
they have much business, to be absent eight or ten days at
any time before Christmas. The same circumstances were
the worst drawback on our races last year; everyone present
seemed to be iu a great hurry to get back to his home on
business, and ]t was therefore impossible for the judges to
give proper time to each slake as was necessary to test the
actual merits of so many high-class dogs, although they did
remarkably well considering tfce very short time in which
they were compelled to decide the merits of the work.

To make the trials a great success, I believe that they
should be run in January or February in some section where
there are plenty of red foxes; then all will be afforded a
chance to c^me, and be satisfied as to who owns the best red
fox dogs in the country.

To hold the trials before Christmas would make it impos-
sible for me and many others who attend the field trials for
setters and pointers to take and part whatever in the fox
hunt. After the field trials are over the sporting press could
be represented by their regular field editors; and many others
who have had great experience i 1 field trials would attend
and assist our new effort in many ways.

Taking everything into considera i-jn, I think the commit-
tee will make a great mistake and impair the welfare of the
club if they designate a date for running before Christmas.

I am one who wishes to see the next hunt a great success.
I would like to see all the good packsin America represented
by the very best dogs; and to induce them to come out, I
will be one of ten or more who will give one hundred or two
hundred dollars for the pack stake, provided that it is run
after the field trials are over and in not less than three days.

What I want is plenty of time and good running of red
foxes under competent judgeB so that we can test tbe actual
merits of the foxhounds; and in less than three days or
longer, with so m»ny good packs represented, I do not think
the judges could accurately decide which was tbe beat.

I have been reading with great pleasure the many wonder-
ful hunts and about the wonderful packs, and eacb Reems to
think his own pack, or his friend's pack, is the best in Amer-
ica. Let it be seen if they cannot be encouraged to come
forward and give a little for the good of the grand sport, and
let us make the pack strike from one thousand to two thous-
and dollars, which will certainly induce the owners of these
wonderful packs to send five or six of their best doRs to the
trials, and then we will see if their dogs are as good after red
foxes as they are on paper.

My great experience at field trials ought to teach me that
no man knows exactly who has the best dogB until they have
all heen run in competition; but I am like many others in
thinking that I have the best little pack in America, and I
will always think so until I have run them in company with
something better; and from the present prospecr, I may
induce some of these wonderful dogs to come out and down
them easily. For tbe last seven years, I have turned the
most of my attention lo breeding and running English setters
in field trials, aud I bud let my pack of foxhouuds thin down
to a few of my old dogs; bnt the efforts of the American
Field to bring the foxhouod iuto prominence, have renewed
my interest lo such an extent that I have already eight old
dogs for breeding purposes aud have several litters of very
promising puppies which I hope will be heard from among
the winners in a year or two.

Note the grand improvement which has been made iu En-
glish setters and pointers, all caused by the field trials. It
will be just as easy to improve the foxhound, and lo bold
successful trials fur them as it was for setters and pninters.

Come forward, gentleman! Let those wonderful, packs be
heard from which are all over America. Let us make the
purse large and we will have the grandest lot nf foxhounds
together that are in America.

If tbe committee will only fet tbe time ri as not to conflict
with tbe field trials yon can count on m* being on li
about six from my small pack, to run against tl
as long as I can get one of my dogs to bark.

Be sure and reread the advertisements, even if you
have already done so, for -several changes have been
made since last week. The secretary of the Bay Dis-
trict Association has been importuned to give a 2:25
pacing race, and the Directors offer a $500 purse for
that class on the first day of the meeting. The Mon-
tana Circuit has added the thriving town of Missoula to
their combination, theieby giving owners a chance to
make five different entries in that circuit. At lone, two
special races will close on Thursday, one for trotters and
one for pacers. Oakland and Petaluma will receive a
full list of entries for their running races, as the purses
are free.

At Denver, Colorado, the racing stakes and Guaran-
teed trotting purses close August lst. The State Fair
entries close at the same time. There is still another
meeting which should have a large number of entries
and that is the Nevada County Agiicultural Association,
which offer 56,000 in purses and have an excellent pro-
gramme. The meeting will take place at Glenbrook
Park and will be well worth a visit from any one. From
the present outlook there will be better racing this year
than ever before, and the meetings of 1889, are likely to
go on record as being the best ever held in the State.

Grand Circuit for the Season.

The arrangement agreed upon early in July, among
the representatives chosen for the purpose, in the prepa-
ration for the annual fairs and race meetings of the
season, for the district comprising Napa, Sonoma, Marin
and Alameda counties, has created unuBual interest on
the part of turfmen. The grand promise of §50,000 in
purses has aroused attention. This looks like business;
it means business. The money will be to hand; the
horses will be there. Tbe multitudes will congregate.
And first-rate racing, tip -top sport and enlivening pleas-
ure all around, will be enjoyed at each of the four fairs
and meetings. The beginning will be at Napa. The fair
to open August 12th and close on the 17th. L. L. James
is President, A. H. Conkling, the Secretary of the As.
socis-tion. On every day of the six days of the Fair
will be good, spirited sport — racing, trotting and pacing,
for liberal and large purses, from $500 to $1200, in
which some of the most noted ruDners, trotters and pac-
ers of the State will contest.

Next in succession is the week at Santa Rosa, begin-
ning August 20th and ending the 24th — from Tuesday
until Saturday. Another week of fine sport, with good
horses and big contention for them — running and trot-
ting every day, and pacing on two of the days. I. Da
Turk is President, George A. Tupper Secretary. W. B-
Sanborn is Manager of the track — one of the finest in
the State, with superior grand stand and buildings and
general accommodations.

Third, comes the fair at Petaluma, of Sonoma and
Marin counties conjointly. The association has for
President J. H. White, Secretary Wm P. Edwards. The
Fair week begins August 27th and closes the 31st — five
days of attractive turf sports, embracing running, trot-
ting and pacing, with purses from $200 to $1000. The
annual fair at Petaluma has for many years drawn largb
attendance and the prominent turfmen of the State, and
the fair of this season will be beyond any of the past.

Last of the grand circuit is Oakland— the Golden Gate
Fair; from September 2d to the 7th. A marked feature
of the turf sports is tha'. all races are open to the world.
This means free purses, free entrance; no chance to lose;
every chance to win. No blanks are in this fair scheme
for any to draw except those who fail to get there;
handsome prizes for all who do.

The purses will be hung up from $300 to $1,500—

mostly above $800 aDd into the $1,000 figure.
Carroll is President; Jos. I. Dimond, Secretary. Among
the purses are those of Leland Stanford, George Hearst,
Jesse D. Catr, the Bank of Oakland, the Puss House,
the Palace Hotel, the Occidental, the Baldwin, and those
of prominent breeding farms in the State — Poplar Grove,
San Miguel and Valensin. and of the Golden Gate Stable.
The races of the grand circuit are open, on equal
terms, to the outside counties of Solano. Lake, Mendo-
cino, Yolo and Colusa. The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company and the Donahue Railroad Company have
made liberal terms for travel and transportation to and
from the several points of the circuit, not only as to
fares and rates, but also in regard to special trains to
facilitate the transit; to accommodate all who are desir-
ous of enjoying the sport and in a hurry to get back — for
reasons best known to themselves. The Breeder and
Sportsman will give full attention to each fair and
meeting.

The Gun Club.

Editor Breeder ajfd Sportsman:— The sixth regular
match of the Gun Club, Beason of 1SS9, took place at Adams
Point on Saturday last, the 20th inst. It was but sparsely at-
tended, now that the deer and dove seasons are in full
blast, and several of the members are oui on camping excur-
sions. It is the usual season of the year, when there appears
to be a letting up in the interest taken in pigeon shooting,
and we scarcely look for a very full attendance.

The question has been mooted by some of our members
that, on the occasion of the lust match of this season, in Sep-
tember, Bides be selected as evenly as possible, so as to elim-
inate the element of chance as much as can be done, and
shoot for a dinner, the losing side to pay for the wine and
dinners. The idea is an excellent one. and calculated to
bring the members together in a social way, and the pros
and cons discussed, besides matters of general interest to the
club and its future. We sincerely hope that before another
year rolls around the club will have secured shooting grounds
of its own contiguous to the city and eaBy of access by some
one of our lines ot railroads.

The shooting on last Saturday was not quite up to the
usual standard, although one or two members, notably
Messrs. B. B. Woodward and F. S. Butler, didBome remark-
ably fine shooting, particularly the first named gentleman.
He seemed to get on to his birds with unusual quickness,
securing eleven out of ais twelve, using but his first barrel,
and losing his twelfth bird out of bounds. The worthy Presi-
dent, Mr. Jellett, was not in his usual good form, nor was
the Secretary, J. K. Orr, both stopping but nine of their
twelve birds, the last named member for tbe first time this
season getting under double figures. With a few excep*
tions, as usual in a mixed lot, some of the best birds the
writer has ever seen Btopped were provided by Mr. Murphy,
perfect drivers; and these usually managed to get past the
boundary line in double quick time, several droppiDg dead
putside.

WRITTEN FOB TBE BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN,

Persons having small orchards are not aware that fruit
picking is an art in its way. Anybody can pick fruit, yet
there are a right and a wrong way in doing it, the same as in
everything else.

There is nothing so disgusting to the experienced orchard-
ist as to see people, though innocent of what they are doiu",
enter an orchard and stick their thumbs iuro fruit until
they come to that which is ripe. They have no idea that
they damage more fruit than they eat. Yet that is the case.
Whenever fruit is bruised, whether ou the tree or not, it
spoils tbe specimen, and decay starts in.

Now, in the first place, persons owning orchards should
be able to tell, from the looks of the fruit, whether it is ripe
or not; a little experience enables one to acquire this, aud
whenever it is necessary to handle fruit with the hand to
test its matureness catch it in the palm of the hand, care-
fully closiug the lingers over aud around it, and pressing it
gently in that way, you can feel whether it is hard or soft,
and judge of its maturity without injuring it a particle.

On gathering pit fruits, take hold of them easily, and raise
them up with a twist of the wrist, aud not grab at them
catch as-catch can, breaking the tinder flesh, as is often
done by inexperienced pickers; aud. above all things, do not
drop them into your basket. Handle them as you would
eggs. This may seem like a rather severe caution, but
wherever the skiu is broken on a peach, apricot, or any other
kind of fruit, it is identical with breaking the shell of an
egg. It's bound to decay, aud then the value of your fruit
and labor is lost. After picking lay your fruit down, dou't
throw it at all. I have seen pickers throw the fruit three or
four feet iato their baskets. Now^*a picker of that kind in
damaging his employer to a greater extent than his services
are worth, and if, after being told once to correct himself,
should he pick in the same way, he should be dismissed in-
stantly.

Fears and apples being picked somewhat green do not show
the effects of bad handling as soon as the more delicate
varieties of fruils, unless closely examined, but the orcbardist
Boon finds it out when he commences shipping, if they are
held aoy length of time. Iu emptying the fruit from the
baskets, let your men take them ont with their hands; then
lay them on the pile and don't turn the baskets upside down
and throw the fruit down heavily.

There is a knack in handling fruit properly, which every
old pioker knows, and those directions if closely followed,
will be found rather tedious at first, but will prove to you
in time, that more money can be made by careful- handling.
even if less is picked iu a day, than by running the fruit off
the. (iees as though it was a lot of teVpQnny DailB. C. C.

A Visit to Stockton.

It is now seven years since last I visited Stockton, to say
good-bye to many old friends before sailing for Australia,
where I went to see the mighty racing giants of the An-
tipodes. The interim between 1SS2 and 1S89 does not seem
long, but in that short time great changes have occurred in
that section of the San Joaqniu Valley. Property has in-
creased in value, crops have been bountiful, farmers have
prospered, aud, as a natural consequence, the merchants in
the interior cities and towns have made money. Perhaps
this is nowhere more plainly visible than in Stockton, where
everything is on the "go ahead," improvements being seen at
all points. The new Court House, now under construction,
will be, when finished, one of the finest public buildings in
he interior anywhere.

The Pavilion, whioh was erected a little over two years
ago by the Directors of the Agricultural Association, is only
two blocks from the center of the city, and occupies an entire
square. Eirnest and diligent inqniry was made to ascertain
what style of architecture the Pavilion was built on, but it
seemed a conundrum to all who were asked. From outward
appearances, it looks a cross between the Queen Anne and a
Chinese pagoda, with the latter predominating; however,
the building is a massive one, capable of holding at least
twenty thousand people, and is just what is required for the
purpose. Many new business blocks have beeu put up since
my last trip to the Slough City, all being of a substantial na-
ture, and erected with an eye to beauty. Stockton is grow-
ing rapidly in wealth and importance, and is now recognized
as one of the principal racing center?, and to *(get a
line" on the horses now in training there was the. cause
of the present visit.

A trip to the Association's grounds revealed the trainers all
at work, taking advantage of the pleasant, warm moruiDg to
move their charges, and several of them were worked out.
Quite a number of owners were present to see the perform-
ances, including C. E. Needham of Belotta, L. Funk and
Wm. Waogh of Farmington, Mr. Moore, S. Lombard and S.
M. Morse, the two latter using the ribbons themselves in an
artistic manner.

A glance had to be taken through the stables, as many of
the horses were not brought out on the track. The nparest
stalls to the entrance are occupied by Will Parker, well and
favorably known to all horsemen, not only in the vieiDity of
Stockton, but all over the State. He is a careful and pains-
taking trainer, handling all the horses under his care him-
self, and is fully competent to know when a trotterjs ready
for the word. His string includes many good ones, the first
to deserve notice being the Electioneer colt Campaign, owned
in partnership by L. U. Shippee and W. H. Parker. The sire
is the premier stallion at Palo Alto, the dam being Lilly B.
by Homer, 1235. If for ro other reason than that Sally
Chorister was the dam of Homer, the services of Campaign
should be in great demand; therefore, it was not surprising
to learn that this well bred youDgster had mares enough to
fill his book and maoy were turned away. He is a trim built
colt, a beautiful dark bay in color, 16 hands high, and fit to
grace any harem in the country. Campaign is a natural trot-
ter, and moves with an ease and grace that is simplv perfec-
tion. Yet, while he is being exercised gently, no hard work
will be given him until next year, so that he may have the
benefit of age before he is sent for a record.

Steve Whipple is too well known to need comment at my
hands, his speed last yeai stamping him a horse of rare
quality. Chrisman's Hambletoniau begot a worthy son in
this young stallion, and the record of 2:23 is no criterion of
his speed, as I saw Mr. Parker drive him a second mile in
2:22, the watch showing 35 seconds for the first quarter, 34
for the second, the last half being negotiated very slowly in
1:13, Mr. Parker easing up on the speedy stallion, especially
in the last two hundred yards. Steve Whipple will be heard
from this season, for it must be remembered that he has only
been away from stud duties about five weeks.

Lottery Ticket is another good one, who, if my memory
does not lead me astray, distanced a horse at Sacramento this
spring, and was beaten by the same one in a drawn out race,
as the indues allowed the slow one to start again. Lottery
Ticket is two years old, by Dexter Prince, dam by Notwood,
2nd dam L<*dy Emma, who was a rattling good mare herself.
Lafayette Funk of Farmington owns this promising colt,
and he may well be proud of him.

In the Dext stall we find a fine looking light chestnut mare
by Hawthorne, dam by Inauguration. She is the property
of Mr. Everhart of Stockton, who has never developed her
speed, but she is now showing up well.

Sir. Hopkins, of San Joaquin county, owns Colonel, seven
years old, a son of Reliance, that can show fast miles. The
owner has Colonel entered in a three handed match race,
which takes place during the lone meeting. Ajax and Hiram
Wilkes are his competitors and they will have to get way
down to beat him.

While Cleveland and Hendricks are both owned by the
one gentleman, only the latter is being worked. It needs
but the first glance to see that he is by Mambrino Wilkes,
the marked individuality of that great sire being strongly
presented in Hendricks. His dam was by Chieftain, and he
will astonish some of the smart ones in the district races.

Lizzie is a likely looking filly by Kiohard's Eleotor, dam
by Duke MeClellan, while the second dam is that old time
trotting wonder Mattie Howard. Some few weeks ago she
had her shoulders hurt and was let up in her work, but can
still beat a "40" clip, which will be materially lowered, when
the injury is all right again.

Mr. Parker also has charge of a neat appearing youngster,
which is owned by Mr. Miller of Stockton; it is a gelding by
Mount Vernon and has the action of a trotter.

Another Elector two-year-old filly is the property of Hayes
and Nioewonger, the daja being by Defiance. She can travel
along at a three minute gait now, with a strong probability
of her going much faster before long.

William Waugh of Farmington, has a son of Venture
which ougbt to make a splendid road horse, as he has a
good turn of speed, and can show a clean pair of heels to
almost anything on the county highways.

A yearling by Dexter Prince is owned by Mr. Drais, which
has all the necessary elements of speed and is doing well
under the Parker management. This completes the first
stable in which there are many good ones, and if there is not
merry times down the line this summer, it will not be the
fault of W. H. Parker.

J. H. Whit ng is the manager and trainer for the Shippee
stable, and he is the right man in the right place, having
been for many years a familiar figure on the California Cir-
cuit as trainer and driver. He haB a rare lot of prime movers
in his contingent, but as there has been a slight touch of
distemper in the stable lately, the work has not been pushed.
The first brought out for inspection was the dark bay stallion
Kilrain, a beautiful specimen of the get of Hawthorne, dam
by Whipple's Hambletonian. H.a is a. magnificent thtee-year-

old, and came very near getting a record last year, being
beaten a short head in 2:33jf.

We now come to the well known Moses S., the brown
four-year-old, by Hawthorne, dam by MtCracken's Blick
Hawk. Ab a two-year-old, Moses S. got a record of 2:29 J,
but the company was too hot for him last yetir, and be will
have to try and lower his record this aeason. Mr. Whitney
has already jogged him in 2:25, and without pushing him at
that. He will do to watch on the circuit during the coming
meetings.

Major Thome is a promising brown stallion by Hawthorne,
dam by Morgan's Rattler. He is a full brother to Shelly
2:29i and can get into the "30" list himself, whenever he is
sent for a mark.

In the next stall to Major Thorne is an unnamed Haw-
thorne, two-year-old, whose dam is an inbred Hambletoniau.
He is a thrifty and well muscled youngster, and has already
made half of the circle in 1:18. Judging by looks this is a
very fast baby and I expect to hear good reports about him
before long.

Red Thorne, as the name indicates, is also by Hawthorne,
and has for a dam, one of the get of Priam, 2nd dam by Mc-
Cracken's Black Hawk. He has gone a half in 1 :17 and the
full mile in 2:3S, pretty good for a two-year-old, ailing with
distemper.

Mr. Shippee also has his road horse in training, to see how
fast he can go. He is a gelding, full brother to Kilrain, and
has already shown two heats in 2:S5. There is also another
gelding in the stable, which never had shoes on until three
weeks ago, still he already demonstrates considerable speed.

The good things on a bill of fare usually comes at the last,
and I have purposely left the gem of the collection to finish
up the Shippee Stable. For some time Mr. Shippee has beeu
in negotiation with parties in the Eist, trying to secure the
very best colt money could purchase, having determined to
let nothing stand in the way of securing a desireable cross
for his find brood mares. A selection was finally made with
the understanding that he would take the colt if Mr. Stemler
approved of him as an individual, so consequently when the
well known trainer went back to Kentucky lately, he closed
the bargain and brought the colt with him. As yet he has
received no name, but in all probability will be called Dicta-
tor Wilkes. He is by Dictator, and his dam by George Wilkes.
Fifteen months and two weeks old, he looks fit to be a two
year old, perfect in conformation; in color a handsome bay,
relieved by black points, he is my beau ideal of a horse especi-
ally as he is soond in every particular. I heard one gentle-
man say his legs were "too beefy," and he may be right, if
plenty of bone and extraordinary good tendons are called by
that rather vulgar sounding name. His neck slopes into a
sturdy pair of shoulder set just right, and of great depth from
the withers to the fore arm. He has a good barrel nice flanks,
grand quarter, fine stifle action, stout canoes and excellent
feet. Taken all in all he is one of the most desireable acquisi-
tions to the stallions of the state, that has arrived in maDy a
long day, and with an average amount of luck his owner
should have before many years some of the finest young
horseB in California.

It would hardly be a race track if there was not a few
bangtails knocking arouud, and here we find Frank Brown
and A. Miller with a half dozen thoroughbreds in training.
Of the lot I am inclined to the belief that March Wind, a
three-year-old by imp. Partisan, dam by Spectre, is the best
of the outfit. He iB not badly named if he goes as fast as I
think he can. Ramona started at the last meeting of the
Pacific Coast Blood Horse Association, but failed to make an
impression, as she was evidently short of work. Ramona is
by Kelpie, dam Di Vernon by Joe Daniels. Dutch is another
of the one time starters, having made an appearance at the
Blood Horse Meeting but a runaway lost him all chance of
winning. He is by Jos Daniels, dam Black Willow. There
is also a five-year-old, as yet unnamed, who when a foal, was
bitten by a rattlesnake, and although having been several
times prepared for a fast trial usually loses speed just when it
is needed. Sam is a quarter horse of unknown pedigree, but
fast enough to beat almost anything, from 40U to 6U0 yards.
The last of the string is Ben, a roan, by the well known race
horse Jack Brady, the dam being a Spanish quarter horse.

Harvey Squire owns a fairly good trotter by Ha Ha 2:22^,
dam by Billy Cheatham, apd a tour-year-old full brother to
the above. Both of these show up well and should be per-
formers.

Mr. Carter has in training for L. M. Morse the well bred
stallion Dexter Prince by Kentucky Prince, dam sister to
Dexter. This fine representative of two great families is
being exercised by his owner, who expects to make a record
for him this fall. Dexter Prince has been called the best
bred sod of Kentucky Prince, and he is jastly entitled to
that credit, for on blood lines he cannot be surpassed.

In the same stable there is also an unnamed son of Direc-
tor, 2:17, dam by Santa Clans, 2:17^, which has fine trotting
action, and will be able to "£0 a streak" when ready for a
race.

W. D. Hamilton has Hector C. by Priam (son of Hamble-
tonian 725), dam The Cole mare. He is a promising colt
with plenty of speed. Mr. Hamilton also has Princewood,
three years old, by Dexter PriDce, dam by Nutwood, a dark
chestnut, owned by Mr. Shippee. This is a very handsome
colt, and may be relied on to trot fast.

Mr. S. Lombard has quite a number of good looking ones,
among them being Harry L. by Priam, dam by Lorenzo Dow.
He is capable of beating 2:40 easily, and when he comes to
his full speed, will be a handy one to have for the "green"
races. There is also a pair of beautiful chestnuts, both by
Priam, which are used by Mr. Lombard as roadsters. A tine
Dexter Prince colt is being broken in for fast work, and as he
moves in an easy, graceful fashion, will undoubtedly prove a
bread winner. There are also a pair of two-year-olds, which
look well, one being by Elect and the other by Thomas's
Cornet. Three other trotters will be added to Mr. Lombard's
stable this week.

H. C. McCue is handling a pair of fine youngsters, one
called Daybreak, by Dawn, being a particularly well-put-up
fellow, while the colt by Nephew is not far behind him in
good looks.

The French Bros have Kitty Veruoo, by Mount Vernon,
dam by Chieftain; Victor, a two-year-old, by Mount Vernon,
dam by Wiathrop, and Sir George, a bay gelding, by Mount
Vernon, dam a chieftain mare. They all take to their work
kindly, ahd will be entered in the forthcoming races

Mr. Alexander still has his stallion Ben Allen, who, many
years ago, won a notable race, he weighing at the time 1,410
pounds. His best record is 2:36, but got at a time when
beating ' 40" was considered a great thing. He is by Sports-
man, dam by Belmont. Mr. Alexander also has a fine filly
by Elector, dam by Chieftain, and an excellent colt by Dex-
ter Prince, dam by Ben Allen, 2nd dam by Chieftain.

E^ery one at Stockton and for miles aiouud has heard of
the fast paoing mare George Hosier is working, and no won-
der, for she oan go like a bullet. Quarters in 33 and 34 sec-
oode, are almost every day Qocurrenoesj and a wager, bag

been made that she can travel that distance in 3" seconds
She is by Reliance, dam by George M. Patchen, Jr 2nd
dam Lulu by Speculation. Revive, as she has been named
is a bay with blnck points, and the trainer assured me that
unless she can show 2:17 easy he will not enter her this year
Revive is three years old. The same trainer aleo has Erie a
three-year-old by Elect, dam Rose by Priam, which is owned
by Mr. -John Patterson. Harry Gear is now six years old by
Echo, dam by Chieftain, and can show a 2:30 gait any time
Mr. koeier's stable also contains Princess Alice, by Dexter
Prince, dam Mollie by General MeClellan; Crown Prince by
Dexter Prince, dam Clara by Chieftain, and Reliance, Jr.' by
Reliance, dam by Kentucky Hunter. These are all above
the average, and "Rio Vista" has strong hopes of placing
most of them m the charmed circle.

At the Park House C. W. Turner and E. E. Snow have
Sunshine, a four-year-old pacer by Reliance, dam Leaner
Carlton by Imagination, 2d dam by Seeley's American Star
She is a good mare, ber breeding being exceptionally fiue.
Reliable, in the same stable, is a five-year-old by Reliance,
dam by Gen. MeClellan, 2d dam by Morgan Rattler, 3d dam
by Belmont. A bay colt by Campaign has been named W
H. Parker, in honor of trainer Parker, who is also part own-
er of Campaign, the sire. The dam of this colt is Leaner
Carlton, and the produce of the mare are all magnificent
lookers and this one is no exception to the rule. Snee-
zer is a two-year-old by Elect from the same dam as the
™ *Tient,oned one' The la9t of tbose at Park House is L.
M. Morse, a yearling by Dexter Prince, also out of Leaner
Carlton. Turner aud Snow will in all probability sell some
of their well bred ones before long, and purchasers will se-
cure a bargain.

The Directors of the Stockton Association give free stabling
to all who apply for room, aud as the track is always kept
in the best of condiiiou, there are plenty of horsemen take
advantage of the liberality displayed. In the near future a
large aJdition will be made to the stall room, and manv
other improvements are contemplated. The fair for 1SS9 will
surpass any hitherto given, from present indications, and is
sure to be a great success.

Please oblige by giving breeding of General McClennan No
144; also pedigree of Ocean Nell. Surely such a producer,
being the -dam of Maid of Oaks 2:23, and Voorhees 2:23£,
must have been traced further than is now given in Wallace.

Answer:— Gen. MeClellan (formerly Red Iron) ch h foaled
1855, got by a horse that worked in a Bix horse team, at Pike
Station, Wayne Co., Ohio, called North Star; dam a Bmall
chestnot mare, weighing about 900 pounds that was called a
Morgan, and had a frenchy appearance. Bred by L. B. James,
then of Pike Station, Wayne Co., Ohio, and by him taken to
Rock Co., Wis.; passed throught several hands to James M.
Learned in 1S58. In 1861 he took him across the plains to
to California in the company of Seneca Daniels, aud in the
division of some stock he became the property of Mr.
Daniels.

There is nothing known of Ocean Nell's breeding.

Can any of onr readers give the pedigree of a horse called
Mountain Boy that was taken to Mendoceno County about
186S by a man named Slarter He was afterwards sold to

John Todd.

Frank Drake.

Can you or any of your readers tell me anything about the
horse Silverheels that was owned in or near Sacramento in
about 1868. Who owned this horse, and what was his breed-
ing?

Answer. — He was reputed to be owned by a Mr. Cum-
mings of San Fraocisco. His sire was Hutton's Bulwer.
•Probably some of oar readers oan give further information
about him.
Reader.

Editor Breeder ane Sportsmax:— In answer to a com-
munication I Baw in your paper of the 20th inst., I beg leave
to answer by saying that a hose team from St. Helena was at
a free for all hose tournament held at Santa Rosa, and se-
cured a record of 32} seconds, which was the State record
until broken at Chico July 4th by No. One's team, which
ran in 31 seconds, making it the fastest record in the State at
present.

Red Bluff, July 21st, 1889.

Thomas Ford.

I would thank you to give me (in the next issue of your
paper) the name and pedigree of the sire of Billy Cheatham.

Answer. — Cracker, by BostoD, 1st dam Lance Mare, by
Lance; 2d dam by Blackburn's Buzzard: 3d dam Lady Guy,
by Greyhound; 4th dam by imported Spread Eagle; 5th dam
Sister to Lamplighter, by imported Medley; 6th dam by im-
ported Lonsdale, etc.

Conducted by Thos. Bowhill, M. R. C. V. 3.
Subscribers to this paper can have advice through this column in all
cases of sick or injured horses or cattle by sending an explicit descrip-
tion of tbe case. Applicants will send their nam* and address that
thoy may be identified. Questions requiring answers by mail should
be accompanied* by two dollars, and addressed lo Dr. fiowhill, 152i
California St.. San Francisco.

Subscriber.

Can you inform me through the columns of your paper if
there is any way to take the "pot belly" off a colt about five
or sis months old; if so, how to do it?

Answer. — Abdominal distension — or pot belly — is in some
colts, especially the age you mention, natural. Again, ir is
a Bymptum of disease, and when so is accompanied by othtr
symptoms. If natural, he will outgrow it. I would advise
you to obtain the services of a competent veterinary snigeon,
when any diseased condition can be ascertained. As the case
is now stated, it is impossible to hazard an opinion or give
any line of treatment.

I think, from what I can learo, that most of the gentlemen
present last December, are in favor of again accepting the
kind hospitality of Major and Capt. Young by holding the
trials at Waverley, Miss.

Aa I am one of the committee on by-laws and mles, and aB
we expect to meet about August 5 for the purpose of formu-
lating them, if you Mr. Editor, would allow the space, I
would be glad to hear tbe views of some of the owners of
leading packs on those subjects

Followng is a list of my foxhounds:
Fox III, black and tan dog, seven years old, by Foi III— Norali.
Jennie, black and tan bitch, seven y«>ars old, by Fox 11-Norali.

Two articles which appear elsewhere in the kennel depart-
ment should be read with consideration. Both are from
notable men, who have given much time and thought to the
development of field quality in dogs. "Jay See En" is un-
mistakably an Irish red setter man. He writes with spirit,
and from the standpoint of a specialist. That he sees all
there is of good iu the red setter there can be no doubt;
whether he magnifies his office as a defender and advocate of
the breed we must leave to our readers to determine. There
,-re many fanciers of red setters among readers of this paper,
and we invite them to discuss the questions mooted by "Jay
See Ed."

W. H. Pierce and Wm. Donphy, of Peekskill, N. Y., Max
Wenzel, of Hoboken, N. J., A. b. Truman and L. L. Camp-
bell, of this city, F. E. Browne, of Los Angeles, and others,
uigbt be named, all of whom belong to the advanced rank of
=portsmen, and if from each we could obtain an expression
about the desirability of creating a field trial stake for red
setters, the matter could then be ultimately settled.

The other- letter, from J. M. Avent, is full of that sound
judgment and common sense which have made him a great
held trial handler. We oonfess to a measure of surprise at
learning that Mr. Avent was so enthusiastic about fox hunt-
ing, but a moments reflection convinced us that a man so
thorough in other sports of the field must necessarily be
devoted to one so attractive as that of hunting the fox with
hounds. There is but little scope for fox hunting proper in
California, and as a consequence the packs of hounds num-
ber but two or three. But in place of the fox there is the
coyote, a sort of timber wolf of small size, which leaves good
trail, runs well, is aB "foxy" as need be, and affords great
sport not alone to Mr. Murphy, of San Jose, who maintains
a regular "fox huntiDg" establishment, but also to a list of
Bport-loving ranoher3 who keep nondescript packs and put
in some rare days with them. Mr. Murphy breeds and uses
English foxhounds, the other Caliloroians own the red and
red and black dogs of indeterminate breeding known as Vir-
ginia hounds. Mr. Murphy and his huntsman might fur-
nish some interesting notes about the Coyote Kennel pack.

A note from Mr. C. M. Munhall announces that he reached
his home in Cleveland safely on July 4th. He enjoyed his
visit to California very much, and we can assure him that he
left many admiring friends here who will be glad to see him
again.

Messrs. Clabrough, Golcher & Co., 630 Montgomery street,
recently received a very interesting picture of the last litter
whelped by Mr. C. M. Munhall's pointer Champion Patti M.
before her destruction by fire at the Columbus, Ohio, dog
show last fall. The puppies, nine in number, are sbowD
clearly and make a picture worth going a long way to see.
There is also a picture of the noted dam.

The City Pound is to be placed in the hands of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Aoimals, the president, Mr.
Jacob Z. Davis, is to be poundmaeter. The change will he
beneficial in more wayB than one.

Mr. William Scbreiber's white and lemon pointer dog Nea-
ter strayed away on Wednesday eveuing, and is uow at large
somewhere about the city. The dog is a light weight pointer,
very cleanly built, and answers to the name Nestor. Sports-
men wifl confer a favor by taking up the animal if they
chance to see him. and sending word to Mr. Schreiber at 21
Kearny Btreet, city.

We were pleased on Thursday laBt by a call from Mr. J. D,
Larpeateur, a Parisian artist, who is touring America and
painting by the way. .Mr. Larpenteur recently painted a
pictare of tbe imported English setter Monk of Furness,
owned by our advertisers, the ElmB Kennels. Of the picture
Mr. H. W. Clarke, Superintendent or the Kennel, writes that
it is a finished and faithful portrait, and he highly commends
the skill of the artist. Mr. Larpenteur is at preseut executing
a painting of a black pointer bitch for Mr. J. E. Watson.

BILLIARDS.

The tournament on the evening of the 17th, ISth and 19th
insts. at the San Francisco Verein Club proved a perfect suc-
cess, and Mr. S. Steinbart, of the ADglo California Bank, is
now the champion. However, he cannot, like Hanibal, rest on
his laurels. He was challenged immediately by a mem-
ber, and to show the interest taken, the winnerof the coming
contest was also challenged. The trophy is a McCleery Com-
bination Cue" (3 in one), elegantly ornamented by Braver-
man & Co., jewelers, with a solid gold cap and gold plate for
insciiptions; a splendid leather case ornamented with silver
holds this chef d'oeuvre of workmanship.

Eugene Carter defeated M. Vigneau in Paris last week.
Cushion Caroms — Score: Carter 100, Vigneau 40. Both are
giving exhibitions in the gay capitol at rival establishments.

There has been considerable lalk of a team from the Olym-
pic against a team from the Bohemian Club trying conclu-
sions on the green at an early date. Both clubs have good
amateurs.

Why can't we have an AmntStir Coast Championship
Series? Thus allowing each and every club oue or more
representatives.

Dr. M. Nicolay, messmeris^, etc., introduces a billiard
seance in his entertainments, delighting his audiences at the
Standard Theatre Saturday and Sunday last.

We are to have artistic billiards at the Mechanic's Fair,
also at tbe State Fair this year.

"Can he make fhem talk?" said a lady the other evening.
Prof. McCleery was giving a fancy exhibition at a residence
on Van Nobs Avenue when, after executing several brilliant
and seemingly impossible shots, be tossed one ball on tbe
floor, a quick Burvey of the situation, a rapid stroke at the
ball on the table, when to the admiration of all, the cue ball
jumped to tbe floor and describing a draw shot of more than
two feet on the carpet counted. Clendrcyonl.

Answer to questions:

1. A. C. Forsyth is the champion billierdist of the Olym-
pic Club.

2. Amateur.

I have long used it in my stables, and find it to be'ali

SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, AUG. 3, 1889.

Our Humboldt Letter.

Ho! ho! ho! for the races! Now, this time we are not
mounting a four-in-hand, or, as the novelists term it, a
prancing steed, bat find onrselves on Washington-street
wharf, alongside the steamship Humboldt, bound for Eure-
ka, and Mr. Wearies of Searles A: Stone, the agents of the steam-
er, introduces us to the Hon. W. J. Sweasey, the owner.

Amidst the bustle and hurry of departure, the captain is
not to be approached on matters of a social nature, therefore
we are handed over to the care of that most obliging and
genial of pursers, Mr. Kalisb, who straightway asks amidst
all the bustle and hurry of departure, "Have you had break-
fast?" thereby immediately ingratiating^ himself in our favor
and proving that he well merits the name he bears for hospi-
tality.

The time drawB toward departure, viz , 9 a. m., so, excus-
ing himself, he puts us in charge of that able Major Donio
Factotum and Provider, the Chief Steward, Mr. Newell, who
has grown gray in looking after the wants of his fellow-men
on sea.

Number of your berth, sir? Shows us there, just putting
our little fixings in place, and, to quote the language of the
son of GanI, "Me voila! Chez moil"

Glancing aronnd, I pee the faces of such well-known lovers
of horse flesh as Mat. Storn, Ed. Culver, the Secretary of the
Blood Horse Association, Thos. Jones, M. MoManus and
Wm. Napier.

After being a short time out we try to get our sea legs and
in that endeavor become a victim to Father Neptune.
There we make the acquaintance of a gentleman well known
in the liquor interest, viz.: Mr. A. Britton, who is the per-
sonal compounder and proprietor of an infallible specific
against sea sickness, after partaking of tha same, which we
find is a composition of cayenne pepper and beer, we find
ourselves slightly worse, but being amongst such jovial com-
pany soon loose the effects of the movement of the vessel,
and at the sound of the bell proceed to the saloon and enjoy
an excellent lunch in company with our jovial friend Mr. B.
A quiet smoke in the afternoon, a chat, an excellent dinner,
a game of cards, the looser to swallow a dose of Mr. B's
speciiic or foot the cocktail bill for all hands next morning.

Just before going to bed, hearing an equine neigh, we,
in company with Mr. Jones take a journey between decks and
find his two horses as comfortably installed as though in
their own stable, showing that the Humboldt was alike
good to man and beast.

Getting up in the morning with a vigorous appetite,
we go to the fore part of the steamer, have a chat with
that good and careful navigator, Captain Manson, who has
been on deck all night. He names to us several points of
scenery on the coast. A beautiful morning, again we par-
take of an ample lunch, cross the Humboldt Bar, then Eureka.
At the wharf we find many members of the Jockey Club, in
fact all the officers, viz.: Mr. C. F. Roberts, H. M. Devov,
B. W. Bideout, C. G. Taylor, Dr. K. Gross, W. S. Clark,
Dan Murphy, C. M.JDollison, T. F. Kicks, Alex Cormick, 8.
F. Pine and Cattan and several other friends which space
does not allow us to mention. After a shake all round we
proceed to Dan's Hotel. We mention the prefix, as every one
knows Dan Murphy, one of the best all round lovers of good
legitimate sport in Eureka.

On Monday we call around on the boys, being franked on
our route by Mr. Bideout, the Secretary of the Jockey Club,
To put it in old-time English, we are presented with the free-
dom of the city.

The Breeder and Sportsman* representative has already
given an excellent account of the races, so that it is needless
to say anything on that score. The sport was good, but the
liberal amounts given in purses by the Association warranted
a much larger number of entries, and there is no doubt that
the next meeting will see at least twice as ma-y horses to
contend for the added money.

As we have had such a pleasant time in Eureka, Mr. Will
Harris and self conclude we will remain over and take, a trip
round the country in a fine team which we obtained from
Tom Ricks, and an A 1 pair of pacers they were.

We left Eureka at 6.30 a. m., passed by Field's Landing, a
place for the loading of lumber. After leaving Blocksburg
three miles or so behind, we commence to ascend a hill on
the Bummit of which is Table Bluff, a hamlet consisting of a
hotel, general store and three or four houses, from which you
obtain an excellent view of the surrounding country; leaving
there we commence to descend towards Springville, passing
hilly, rolling country, with fields full of crops, mostly of
oats. About two miles before reachine Springville the coun-
try assumes a flatter aspect. Though this town at the pres-
ent moment is experiencing rather a dull season, a stranger
is impressed with the fact that considerable business must
be done there; new buildings are being put up on all sides.

There is a large sash, door, blind and general planing mill kept
in constant operation. In connection with the mill is one of
the best drying kilns in the State. There are two hotels doing
a good business, one of which (The Tremont) has lately been
taken in hand by a very pushing gentleman; another hotel of
forty-eight rooms is in process of construction, and some
general stores, all carrying large stocks, and not to be for-
gotten an excellent livery stable. From appearance a pros-
perous future is in store for this little town.

Leaving Springville we traverse a rolling country slightly
wooded, and after a drive of two miles, find ourselves in
Bohnerville, this being an older town, having what will
ingratiate it at once into the sympathies of our readers, a
very fine race track.

Here resides Mr. W. E. Smith, the owner of some of the
finest Percherons ever imported into this country. We
called on him and were very hospitably received. During
our rounds, in company with Mr. Smith, we called on Mr.
Hogoboom, whose horse won the 2:40 trot at the Eureka
races. This is a town which seems to be devoted exclusively
to agricultural interests, supporting two good hotels, several
stores, livery stables, etc. In a later edition we shall have
the pleasure of giving our readers a more detailed account of
the stock owned by Mr. Smith and Mr. Hogoboom.

Bidding good-bye to our genial host, Mr. Smith, we push
on to Hydesville, pat-sing at first over a gentle rolling country
bearing every evidence ot prosperity, then we reach a pictur-
esque wooded gorge descending a steep declivity on one side
and ascending to the table land on the other, and shortly after
reaching Hydesville. As we arrived there late in the even-
ing, and our intention was to reach Biodell that night, we
are unable to do justice to what appeared to us a picturesque
little town; it bore evidence of doing a good business by the
number of stores it contained, having a general aopearance
of thrift.

Hurrying on we after a little descend a steep road by the
side of a hill and reach the railroad junction, where there is
a blacksmith shop, newly erected hotel and store, as well as
a very commodious railroad depot. After partaking of
refreshments, at the same time not forgetting our four-footed
friends, we journey on to our destination; ascending a hilly road
heavily wooded to the left and to the right fields of ripe grain,
and after fording a river, make Biodell at 1 p. m., the last
refreshments we partook of being of a liquid nature and
strictly of a temperance order, notwithstanding the pressing
invitation of the genial host of the Junction Hotel to blend
it, our appetites began to assert themselves for something of
a solid nature. Though strangers on arriving at Biodell, we
were immediately invited to take part in a ball which was to
lake place at Scotin, a mile and a half distant, aud a very
enjoyable evening we had, there being about thirty ladies
present, with the gantlemen slightly in the majority.

Having passed a very pleasant evening we returned to
Biodell and gave ourselves up to repose. We woke up feel-
ing greatly refreshed after our long drive of the previous
day, took a look round the town, which speaks well for the
energy and push of its inhabitants. As Mr. Smith of the
Pacific Lumber Co. wanted us to look over the mills situated
at Scotia, we went there and were shown around one of the
most complete lumbering plants in the State, employing over
400 men. Leaviog here we rtturu to the jnnction bound
for Ferndale, a place of considerable business importance.
On our way here we have to ford the Elk river three
times, first passing through some romantically wooded
country, and when within a few miles of the town we enter
into a grazing and grain growing section noted for its dairy
produce. Arriving here late and tired we ate our dinner,
and after asmoke and chat go off to bed. Getting up on Sunday
morning we were unable jo judge of the volume of business
transacted in this thriving town, but it bears the name of being
next in importance to Eureka, however, if one may judge by
the number of well equipped conveyances seen there, is any
evidence of the prosperity of a p'ace, this account is not over-
drawn. After leaving here in the afternoon to proceed to
Table Bluffs we were still further convinced of the fact that
our first impressions as to the thrift and prosperity of Fern-
dale and its vicinity were correct. We pass over the same
road from here to Eoreka as on leaving, so there is nothing
to describe further. Getting in Sunday eve we again try a
glass of Pine Apple and you kon w, have a good dioner,and soon
go to bed to be ready for our trip to Areata. Next day we start
out passing throngh some lovely woods and after a Bharp
drive of about 13 miles arrived there. The town is situated
the other side of the bay and has a ferry steamer constantly
plying between here and Eureka. This town bore evidences
of good solid business, as around the plaza you find located
two good hotels and various stores. After calling on a few
friends we harneBB up and make Eureka in time for dinner
at 6 p. m.

Now friends we must say good-bye, as after settling up our
business we find ourselves again on board the steamer Hum-
boldt full of passengers, showing she fall well merits the
good name we give her. After an enjoyable trip back again
we find ourselveB at the Washington street wharf.

Just one little word more. We wish to mention the
career of one of Eureka's most prosperous and honored mer-
chants, the owner of the steamer, the Hon. N. J. SweaBey,
who is 85 years of age, hale and hearty still. He was born
in the city of London, England, his father being a pilot on
the river Thames. He followed the sea for some time, then
settled in Posey county, Indiana, atter which be came to
Humboldt county where he has been identified with all
prominent business enterprises. Mr. Sweasey, the son of
this pioneer, is the prime mover in laying a 13-inch diameter
pipe from the Ilk river for the purpose of supplying Eureka
with water. He also has a fine door and sash factory in full
operation. . Breeder.

The Dams of Trotters.

"Written for the Bbeedee and Sportsman.

The science of breeding has never reached suoh absolute
perfection that the result could be foretold with certainly.
The progeny of the same mare and by the same horse differs
materially. Therein lies the charm of breeding the trotter.
It is not so charming when you miss the objective point, but
the illusion is sufficiently good until the real appears.

I have always contended that individual excellence in a
brood mare was better than pedigree. If I could have indi-
vidual excellence and pedigree too I would be doubly well
pleased. For instance, take two mares. The first one a
finely bred mare, with standard ancestors back three or four
removes; a trifle lazy withal, and with about enough speed
to show a four-minute gait. The second mare we will say,
sired by some good horBe, and the blood of her mother un-
known. This mare, though, is of a nervous, gamey tempera-
ment; a good walker and fast trotter; willing to do all she can
without whipping.

I would rather have [his second mare for a brood mare
than a half dozen of the first one, no matter how highly bred.

A mare cannot impart something she hasn't got.

When a study is made of the great matrons of to-day it is
a trifle puzzling to know where the excellence of some of
them come from. They are certainly not fashionably bred,
and the man lookine for the regulation brood mare — stand-
ard bred, bay, with black points, good tail and maue — would
disdainfully pass them by. Let us inquire into the inside
history of some of them.

Addie, by Hambletonian Chief, dam unknowD, is the dam
of Woodnut, 2:16J. and Macon, 2:21. Hambletonian Chief
never sired a trotter, nor sired a mare that produced a trot-
ter outside Addie.

Addie Lee, by Culver's Black Hawk, is the dam of Adair,
2:17}, and Grace Lee, 2:29}. Her dam's breeding is un-
known. Culver's Black Hawk never sired a trotter nor the
dam of a trotter, except this mare.

Annie Laurie, by Harris' Hambletonian, dam not known,
is the dam of Annie G., 2:28.

Aralon, by Young Woful, dam unknown, is the mother of
Clara, 2:21, and Hades, 2:27$

Belle, by Barnard's Muscatine, dam unknown, is the dam
of Tramp Jr , 2:30, and Tramp S., 2:2Sf. Barnard's Musca-
tine would never have been heard of except through this
mare-
Belle of Cayuga by Hambletonian Prince, dam unknown;
is the dam of Bertha S. 2:294. and Parana, 2:19$.

Belle Wilson by Hiatoga, dam unknown, is the dam of
Gen. Grant 2:21, and Gen. Lee 2:26*.

Black Flora is a mare owued in our own State. She was
Bired by Black Prince, a horse with a faint local reputation.
Her dam was untraced. She is the dam of Huntress 2:28,
Perihelion 2:25, and Sister 2:19].

Black Jane by Mambrino Patchen, dam not traced, is the
mother of Rosa Wilkes 2:18}, a well known race mare, and
Simmons 2:28, a widely known stallion.

Burch mare by Brown Pilot, dam not traced, was the moth-
er of Donald 2:27 and Kosalind 2:21$.

Clara by American Star, dam not traced, was the dam of
Alma 2:28J, Astoria 2:29A, Dexter 2:17}, and the great stallion
Dictator.

Clara by a son of Henry Clay, was the dam of Gipsy
Queen 2:20} and Blanche 2:30. The only earthly claim to
distinction this son of Henry Clay had was that he sired
this mare.

Columbia by Columbus, dam unknown, was the
Abbottsford 2:19}, and the pacer Dido 2:23}.

Comee's Dam, by Hiawatha, dam not traced, wo
of Comee 2:19}.

Cooney by Stewart Morgan, dam not traced, is the dam of
John S. Heald 2:27} and Tinnie B. 2:27}.

County House Mare by Seeley's American Star, was the
dam of Nettie 2:18. Nettie was one of the gameat and most
noted compaigners that Byskyk's Hambletonian ever Bired.
Crop by Pilot Jr., dam not kuown, is the dam of three
trotters— Blanch Aniory 2:26, Code 2:22} and Counsellor
2:24. ^ .

D-ihlia by Pilot Jr., Ham not traced, ia the dam of Dacia
2.29*. and Daireen 2:21£.

Doll, pedigree unknown, is the dam of E Igewood 2:27£,
and Elmwood Chief 2:18|, both by Black Ranger. He
never sired a trotter except from this maTe, and it is only
reasonable to concede that she mast have been a mare of
great excellence.

Dolly, pedigree not traced, is the dam of Ino 2:21} and
Redbird 2:27}, both by Chenery's Gray Eagle, As these
were the only trofters he got. though many seasons in the
stud, Dolly must have been a producer.

Dolly by Iowa, is the dam of Envoy 2:2S, and Fleta 2:28.
Iowa was a running bred horBe and never figured in a trot-
ting pedigree befoie nor since. Envoy and Fleta were both
sired by Gen. Hatch, an unheard of horse, but for the pro-
duce of this mare.

Dolly Varden by Hiatoga Johnnie, dam untraced, was the
dam of Flora P. 2:23}, and Lucy 2:26£. The inquiry comes
trooping up tbe misty way, "Who was Hiatoga, Johnnie? I
give it np!

Duryea mare by Pintlar's Toung Bolivar, dam not traced,
was the dam of Widow Machree 2.29, one of the gamest raoe-
horses in olden timeB, and afterward famous as the dam of
Aberdeen.

Emily C, pedigree unknown, is the dam of Bayonne
Prince 2:21} and Marcus 2:29}.

Falka by Stubtail, dam unknown, was the mother of El-
more Everett 2:30, and Kitty 2:30 These two horses were
sired by Andrew Jackson (not the Bashaw horse of that name)
and although he made several seasons in New York and
Vermont, he sired but these two trotters from this one mare.
Fanny Jewett, pedigree unknown. waB the dam of John
J. Cook 2:29.1 and Lady Grosbeck 2:25£.

Green Mountain Maid by Harry Clay, dam Shanghai Mary,
pedigree unknown, is the dam of Antonio 2:28$, Dame Trot
2:22, Elaine 2:20, Mansfield 2:26, Prospero 2:20, Storm 2:26£,
and the great Electioneer.

Hackettmare, pedigree unknown, was the dam of Argonaut
2:23}, and Nancy Hackett 2:20.

A mare by Saekett's Hambletonian, dam unknown, was
the dam of Hattie 2:29| and Milton Medium 2:25£.

Jane Murray, pedigree untraced, was the dam of Clark S.
2:27}, Lottery 2;27 and Wiiliam H. 2:29-

Jenny Lind by Bellfounder, dam unknown, is the dam of
Dixie, 2:30, and Tackay, 2:26, both of whom are ^ell-known
brood-mares. Jenny Lind's dam was unknown.

Jenny Martin by Canada Jack, dam not traced, is the dam
of France's Alexander, 2:19, and "Woolly Jim, 2:29£. If
Canada Jack were alive to-day and could gaze upon his
grandchildren, he would be a proud horse, unless he fell
dead from surprise.

Kate by Bellaire, dam not traced, is the mother of Breeze,
2:24, Bruno, 2 29£, and young Bruno, 2:22$. The pedigree
of Bellaire is unknown, and what right he had to sire a mare
that was the dam of three trotters does not yet appear. He
failed to distinguish himself in any other quarter.

Kate Bradley by Clifton Pilot, dam unknown, was the
dam of Billy, 2:29}. Charley Wilkes, 2:25£*. Mike, 2:28.

Lady Abdallah by Alexander's Abdullah, dam not traced,
is the dam of Don Carlos, 2:23, and Granville, 2:26.

Lady Fulton by Stubtail. dam unknown, was the dam of
Buzz, 2:28£, Bufus, 2:29, and Wizz, 2:23£.

Two mares well known in this State are Lady Hubbard by
Benicia Boy, and Lady Washington by American Boy, Jr.
The dams of both mares are of unknown blood. Lady Hub-
bard is the dam of Pansy, 2:24} and ThapBin, 2:22|, while
Lady Washington figures as the mother of Ewing, 2:21} and
KateEvting, 2:21}. Benicia Boy and American Boy, Jr.,
would probably have died "to fortune and to fame un-
known," except for these two mares.

Logan Maid by Paige's Logan, dam not traced, is the dam
of Billy Button, 2:18}, Lady Williams, 2:28 J, and Peralto,
2:26}. The name uf Paige's Logan would never have orna-
mented the Trotting RegiBter unless this one mare had fairly
outdone herBelf.

Mayflower by St. Clair, dam unknown, to the cover of
Electioneer, produced MaDzanita, 2:16, and Wildflower (2
years), 2:21.

Myra Shaw by Tcm Lang, dam untraced, was the dam of
Alice PeytOD, 2:27}, Grave's Blue Bull, 2:26}, and Myrtella
G.. 2:23.

SiVverella, pedigree not traced, was the dam of Mamie,
2:21}, and S.lvertoD, 2:20}, which are two very speedy
horses for one mare to produce.

Woodbine by Woodford, dam untraced, is the dam of the
well-known sires and campaigners, Wedgewood, 2:19, and
Woodford Mambrino, 2:21}.

The above list is only a partial one, but it is sufficient to
show that many of the greatest stallions and race horses
came from what would be termed "short pedigreed" mares.
It iB a fact, however, that all of these mares weie individu-
ally superior, endowed with plenty of nerve force, and the
capacity to go a distance. Many of them, to my knowledge,
possessed lots of speed, and would have obtained a low
record had the opportunity presented at the right time.

I truly believe tbat in no one of the instances I have men-
tioned could one of these mares be found other than a very
superior animal.

The dam of Maud S., 2:08£, would not have Buited a man
who was looking for a standard brood mare. Neither would
the dam of Jay-Eye-See, 2:10; neither would the dam of
Maxey Cobb, 2:13}; neither would the dam of Rosaline
Wilkes, 2:14}; neither would the damof Harry Wilkes, 2:13};
neither would the dam of Axtell, 2:15} at three years; neither
would the dam of Sonol, 2:18 at two years; neither would the
dam of Jack, 2:19}. The dam of Jack, it is stated, is only
14} hands high, and after Jack was weaned she was sold for
$60. Jack last season captured S 15,000 in money, besides
quite a reputation.

The dam of Prince WilkeB was probably not much thought
of before his advent upon the turf. She did not possess a
standard line of Mood, so far as I can ascertain.

The dam of Arab, 2:15 (that muchly darned horse) would
not have tilled the bill vhen a fashionable pedigree was the
desideratum. This statement applies with equal force to any
of the mares variously claimed as bis dam.

The breeding of the dam of Johnston, ?:06}, the king of
pacers, would not have proved sufficiently attractive to have
secured her owner a fair price for her.

The dam of Dawn, 2:19}, was not a standard bred mare,
bat she is much better, a standard producer. I have always
considered Dawn tbe fastest Nutwood alive, and I still think
so. That bis dam, CountesB, was a producer of speed is seen

not alone in Dawn's case, but in" Strathway as well. This
young horse trotted a trial as a three-year-old in 2:24}, and
will certainly some day beat 2:20, barring accidents.

I think I have offered sufficient evidence to prove almost
beyond a doubt that individual excellence is better than
pedigree. Were I asked to choose between two equally well
shaped mares, one of which could trot in 2:30, her breeding
being unknown, while the other could could go a mile in
3:20 and sired as follows: sired by Nutwood, first dam by
Volunteer; 21 dam by Cassius M. Clay Jr.; 3d dam by
RyBdyk's Hambletonian, I should unhesitatingly choose
the first mare, and would have more hopes of securing a fast
and reliable colt, than from the second mare. It might be
claimed that the second mare, though individually not fast,
might "breed back." True she might, but life is too short
to wait for a brood mare to breed baok of herself.

Memoirs of Lexington.

LEXINGTON AGAINST TIME.

[From the New OrleanB Picayune of April 3d, 1855]
"The most brilliant event in the sporting annals of the
American turf, giving, as it has, the palm to the renowned
Lexington, came off yesterday, over the Metairie Course, and
its result greatly surpassed the most ardent hopes and enthu-
siastic expectations of the friends of the winner, and the
lovers of turf sports.

"The day was the loveliest of the whole season. As the
hour appointed for the great contest approached, the town
was all astir with excitement incident to the occasion.
Vehicles of all sorts were in requisition, and our beautiful
level shell roads were filled with them from the last paving-
stone to tbe gates of the course. The displays in equitation
during that busy part of the day, which may be defined aa
"going to the races," were almost as amusing and exciting as
the greater event, for witnessing which so many thousand
were intent.

"The judges selected for the occasion were Gen. Stephen
M. Westmore for the Virginia gentleman, Arnold Harris,
Esq., for Mr. Ten Broeck, and John G. Cocks, Esq., the
President of the Metairie Jockey Club, as umpire. The
timers were Hon. Duncan F. Kenner, Capt. Wm J. Minor
and Stephen B. Elliott, Esq.

"It being the first event of the season, there was the usual
bustle at the gates, the distribution of the members' badges
and the strangers' badges, the admission to the different
stands, and, from the character of the event, an unusual rush
of carriages, cabs, buggies, wagons, saddle horses and toot
passengers; and by three o'clock the course presented a most
brilliant appearance. There were representatives of every
section of the country and almost every State in the Union,
and among them we were happy to see a goodly show of the
fairer portion of creation.

"The field inside the course presented a most animated
appearance, and the feeling in favor of the gallant Lexington
was general and decided; and as the predestined hero of the
day appeared upon the course, in company with his stable
companions who were to be partners for a time in his trials,
his feelings and his fame — his bold, reaching and elastic step,
his unequalled condition, and his fearless, defiant look —
consoious of superiority and-of victory — gave strength to hie
backers that all was as it should be.

•'Of the temerity of his backer and owner, Mr. Bichard
Ten Broeck, in standing before the world bidding defiance to
all the previous performances ever marked by a horse, we
have before spoken as our feelings dictated, and his extraor-
dinary self relianoe, based upon well directed judgment and
sound sense, cannot fail to place him in the estimation of
true sportsmen as the leader of the host. He knew he had
an animal of unflinching game coupled with lightning speed,
and bravely did his gallant ally respond to his call.

"The betting was large. Lexington's appearance made him
a favorite, and before starting it was firm at $100 to $75
against time, and but few takers. The greater portion of the
betting had been done in town, and there were but few left
who dared to brave the lion in his lair. The conflicting
opinions which had been generally expressed in regard to the
termaof the match, and its mode of performance, caused a
very general excitement, each party in turn expressing hie
views as to the right of the points discussed, namely, that of
allowing horses to start with Lexington, to urge him to an
increased speed, and the propriety of giving the horse a run-
ning start. The judges, however, ended the matter by decid-
ing that he could do both. The decision gave very general
satisfaction.

"Gilpatrick, UDon Lexington, now prepared for action, and
as he started up the stretch on his proud courser, to do which
no other horse had ever attempted, the man and horse formed
a beautiful and perfect picture. He turned him around just
below the draw-gates, and as he reached the judges' stand,
wheu the drum tapped, he was at the pace it was intended he
should run. To our mind he was run too fast the first mile,
whioh he accomplished in 1:47J, the first half mile in 0:53.
Upon reaching the stand it was intimated to him to go slower,
which he did.

"Joe Blackburn was started behind him at the beginning
of the first mile, but the respectful distance he kept in his
rear must certainly have done him an injury rather than a
benefit, for at no time was he near enough for Lexington to
hear the sound of his hoofs.

"The pace in the second mile visibly decreased; Arrow,
who was started before its commencement, waiting about
thirty yards behind Lexington. In the third mile Arrow
closed the gap, and Lexington, hearing him. was a little more
anxious, and slightly increased his pace. Upon entering the
fourth mile Arrow was stopped, and Joe Blackburn went at
him again, but as in the first instance, he was "like chips in
porridge"— of no benefit. Lexington darted off in earnest,
running the last mile in 1:48|. He reached the head of the
front stretch in 6:55, running its entire length in 24| seconds.
The whole time of the four miles was 7:19£, carrying 103
pounds, Gilpatrick being three pounds over weight. That
the course was in admirable condition we need not assert,
but that we have Been it in better order for safety and for
time, we think we may assert. The writer of this was not
present when Lexington and Lecomte met last spring, and
can therefore make no comparison, but agrees with "A Young
Turfman" that the extreme hardness of the track might pre-
vent a horse from folly extending himself, which must have
been the oase with Lexington yesterday. He lost bis left
fore plate, and half the right one; and Gilpatrick at the draw-
gate in the last mile had no little difficulty in keeping him on
his course, Lexington mnking violent efforts to swerve to the
right, where it was soft and heavy.

"With regard to the time, not a doubt can be entertained,
the official being slower than any other. Outside, by many
experienced timers, it was made in 7:19}.

"The excitement attending the progress of this remarkable
race cannot be described. It was intense throughout; and
to those who had no opportunity of taking note of time,
Lexington's deceptive fox-like gait could not have given them
hopes of success. The joyousnesB and hilarity everywhere
visible, which followed the announcement that Lexington
was the victor, Bhowed the feeling of the vast majority of the
vast assemblage.

"It muBt be a Bource of the highest gratification to the
rider of Lexington that he guided him through his perilous
journey successfully, despite the prophecies and hopes of
defeat that attended him. In this connection we may fear-
lessly assert that through a long career of usefulness and
success of more than twenty years upon the turf, the name
of Gilbert W. Patrick, better known as Gilpatrick, the rider,
has never been tainted with even the breath of suspicion,
and that the bright escutcheon of his name remains untar-
nished; and as this is perhaps his last appearance in public,
it is the writers hearty wish that he may live to enjoy an
uninterrupted flow of wordly comfort, and that when death
calls him to answer that to which all living muBt respond, lie
may be full of >ears and honor. The names of Gilpatrick
and Lexington are inseparably oonnocted with the greatest
achievement upon the American turf.

"That this great race will go down to generations yet un-
born as the fastest time made, is the honest conviction of the
writer.

fortunes of the field.

THE GEEAT RACE AT SEW ORLEANS— THE FASTEST TIME OK
RECORD— LEXINGTON VICTORIOUS IN ONE HEAT— TIME,
7:23|— THE THIRD EVENT.

' It is not strange that this match should command more
attention than an ordinary race. Tne antecedents of both
animals were brilliant beyond comparison, and the improve-
ment which each had shown at every successive trial, led to
an almost wild belief tbat some new miracle of time would
be performed in the impending meeting. There was much,
too, in the annals of the turf connecting itself with the pres-
ent position of these horses, that was calculated to add
immensely to the Interest. It will be recollected that Time,
which Bhould be progressive, stood still for twenty years on
the heels of the renowned Eclipse, who ascended into glory-
over Henry — on the Long Island track in a fou'- mile heat in
7:37. At length the brilliant mare Fashion sprung up and
excelled it, on the same course, by five seconds, gaining a
double victory, by beating the till then unconquerable Bos-
ton in a four-mile heat of 7:32£.

"The world was astonished, and so miraculous was this
considered, that a report was current that the judges were
almost afraid to proclaim it; indeed, tbat the true speed was
7:31£, and tbat two of the judgeB who had ho taken it, yielded
to* the third, who was the second slower, for fear the publio
would be dissatisfied with their decision. This time of
Fashion's held the field for almost nine years, and the lovers
of the turf, as they dolefully contemplated her decline, feared
they would never look upon her like again. Bat there is a
time for all worldly glory, and it was destined that last Bpring
the renowned Lexington and the phenomenon Lecomte should
both Bhoot forth together to outdazzle all previous lustre,
and so turn the possibility of racing speed into a bewildering
maze of doubt. Those rivals not knowing each other, and
themselves unknown, first came together on the Metairie
Course, New Orleans, for the State Post Stake of the last
spring meeting, and then, as all the world already knows,
Lexington was the winner, although not as yet inside of
Fashion's time. Iu the following week, however, the am-
bitious rivals met again, and it was on that occasion the
superb Lecomte reversed his lute defeat, and at one astound-
ing stroke reduced Fashion's time to 7:26! Six and a half
seconds of glory at a single bound!

"It might have been supposed that a defeat like this would
have quite satisfied the owner of Lexington that he had con-
tended against impossibility or lightning; but what was the
surprise of the whole racing world to hear in the midst of the
roar of his exploits, Mr. Ten Broeck offer to wager §10,000-
that his horse Lexington, which had just been beaten, that
be could beat Lpcomte's time, and $2,500 more that he could
afterwards beat Lecomte himself. Both offers were of course
accepted, and the 2d of April was selected for the first trial,
and the 14th of the same month for the other. Your readers
know already by the previous mail, the result of the effect of
the second, and that Lexington on that occasion beat all the
annals and exceeded every expectation, by performing his
four miles in the unheard of, I may add undreamt of, time of
7:19$ — thus Btriking Lecomte a heavier blow than Lecomte
had administered to Fashion, and going inside of his time
six secoyids and a quarter.' This was the Btate of things I
found at New OrleanB at half past 9 p. M. on the 13th of
April, by the glass clock, and now that I have explained
myself so fully, I think you will have no more BurpriBe left
than I had, and I took my light upstairs, that the Crescent
City was on that occasion in something of a buzz.

"In the morning I found tbe excitement in no way
decreased; everybody was inquiring about the starting of
trains, or making arrangements with hackmen to take them
to the course, while practised parties of bon vivants were dis-
playing a world of intelligence or intent in packing cham-
pagne baskets with layers of ham, obicken, brandy, beer
Boker's bitters, cigars, and soda water, to regale themselvea
with during the dry stages of the afternoon. The race was
set for three o'clook, and the course being three miles off, at
one the town began to move toward tbe track, at two it was
pretty nearly desbrted, and at three it was as silent and
abandoned as at midnight. All the roads leading to the
track streamed with pedestrians and vehicles, and the Hue
condensed towards the gateway into a choked column that
could move onward and in, only by the most tedious series
of instalments.

"On reaching the inside, the arena presented a most brill-
iant spectacle, and I do not remember having Been so many j
people together for a race except at the celebrated meeting
of Fashion and Peytona on the Union Course, L. I. The
two public stands were densely crowded, the field was filled
with vehicles and saddle horses, and even the trees, that from
a distance over-looked the track, drooped heavily with the
freight of human fruit. The track itself, however, under
better judgment than those of New York, was kept clear of
all intruders, except in that portion known as the home-
stretch, to which exclusive section the members of the club,

and Buch privileged strangers as had provided themselves
with ten-dollar badges, were admitted.

THE RACE.

"At length the bngle Bounded the signal for the horses to
be stripped. Upon this everybody pressed forward to secure
eligible places, every neck was stretched to its utmost length.
Even the gamblers in the alleyB, underneath the public
stands, undoubted their legs from beneath their faro-tables, !
locked up their double card boxes, stopped the snap of their I
roulettes, and slapped the little ivory balls in their vest
pockets to ran upstairs and become innocent lookers on.

"Wagers on the contestants had a small revival, in conse- .
quence of this eruption from the betting quarter, and the
odds on Lexington weDt up again to the mark of §100 to SSO.
It was freely taken, however, by the gentlemen from Red
River, where Lecomte was raised; and, with many of them,
confidence in their favorite stood so high that they put out
all the money they had brought to town on equal terms.
They reasoned that if Lexington could perform a four-mila
heat in 7:19^, there was no reason why Lecomte could not
also do it if required; for the contest now stood equal between
them, and it must not be forgotten that in Lecomte's victory,
in 7:26, he had trailed Lexington, and then turned out and
passed ahead of him. It was, moreover, said on their side
that the 7:19f was not as good as the 7:26 of Lecomte, for
that by running alone and choosing the close side of the
track, Lexington saved nearly two seconds of distance in
each mile, and likewise had the advantage of a long start,
and receiving the word 'go' at full speed, instead of beginning
'from the jump,' as in match fashion.

"hope told a flattering tale."
"On the strength of these calculations there was consider-
able betting on time, but with none did 1 hear it set at less
than 7:26, while many believed — though I heard no bet to that
effect — that the heat would be achieved as low down as 7:15
or 7:16. I do not know that anything can furnish a better
idea of the revolution made in racing time by Lecomte and
Lexington than this state of expectation shows. "What would
have been thought, ten years ago, ot the declaration that in
a little while we should see a fonr-mile race in which the
highest mark on time would be 7:26?

"There is something in this matter of increase of speed
that is worthy of reflection and philosophy. We find con-
tinual advancement, and what is most remarkable, exploit
begets exploit, as if knowledge and emulation touched new
powers which had never been electrified before.

"Whence does the spark proceed that awakes these ener-
gies, but from the mind of man, imparting itself by some
strange process to the mind and body of his horse as he does
to the corporeal faculties in possession of himself. Trotting
time stood for years at 2:32, then 2:30, and then 2 ;28. At
length Beppo and Lady Suffolk made a dead heat under
saddle on the Beacon Course in 2:26; Btraightway 2:26 was
repeated by several other horses; by and by it was reduced
still lower, and at last 2:2$ was banished to mile beats in
wagons. So with the racerB I have named, and so with
Lecomte and Lexington. One-half of a horse's speed is
found in the brain of his rider or driver, and that subtle
essence, that knowledge how to do, and will to command it,
blends with the power of the beast and makes all things
done. So with foot racers, when they have known that nine
miles within the hour could be increased to ten, and the ten
to eleven. They were the same men, without any improve-
ment in their breed; the same men, who had once been able
barely to do nine. Shall we be told that the Bonny Black
Bess of the bold Turpin did not respond to her master's
spirit when she took her wondrous bound over the spiked
turnpike gate? or that a portion of the soul of the brave
Mameluke, who alone escaped the massacre of the Beys by
leaping his horse over tbe wall3 of Cairo, did not enter into
that of bis matchless barb?

"The bounding steed yon pompously bestride,
Shares 'with his lord hU pleasure and his pride,

"Assuredly the best portions of tbe horse's speed lies in
the mind of his rider; and it is so by no means certain, that
if Gilpatrick, who rode Lexington in 7:19| had, with his
present knowledge of what is within horse hide, grasped the
rein and pressed the sides of Ellipse, he could not have
brought his 7:S7 down to 7:26.

"When the blankets were stripped from the horses, and
their magnificent combinations of blood, heart and muscle
stood glistening and flickering in the son, the crowd near by
could not resist an involuntary burst of admiration, at which
Lecomte stepped coquettishly about, showing his beautful
chestnut coat and branching mnscles, while the darker Lex-
ington with a sedate and intelligent aspect-, looked calmly
around, as if he felt that the sensation was quite what he
expected and deserved. Both animals were in the finest
possible condition, and the weather and the track, had they
been manufactured to a sportsman's order, could not have
been improved. At last the final signal of 'bring np your
horses,' sounded from the bugle, and prompt to the call,
Gilpatrick, the well-known rider of Boston, put his foot in
Lexington's stirrup, and the negro boy of Gen. Wells' sprang
into tne saddle of Lecomte. They advanced slowly and
daintily forward to the stand, and when they halted at the
score, the immense concourse that had up to this moment
been swaying to and fro, were fixed as stone. It was a beau-
tiful sight to see these superb animals standing at the score,
filled with unknown qualities of flight, qnietly awaiting the
conclusions of the directions to the riders for the tap of the
drum.

"At length the tap of the drum came, and iostantly it
struck, the stationary studs leaped forward with a start that
sent everybody's heart into their mouth. With bound on
bound, aB if life were staked on every spring, they flew np
the quarter stretch, Lexington, at the turn, drawing bis nose
a Bhadow in advance; but when they reached the half-mile
post — 53 seconds — both were exactly aide by side, On they
went at the same flying pace, Lexington again drawing grad-
ually forward, first his neck, then his shoulder, and increas-
up the straight side amidst a wild roar of cheers, flew by the
stand at the end of the first mile, three-quarters of a length in
the lead. One hundred to seventy-five on Lexington ! Time,
1 :49i.

"Onward they plunge, onward without pause! what makes
this throbbing at my heart? What are these brilliont brutes
to me? Why do I lean forward and insensibly nnite my
voice with tbe roar of this mad multitude? Alas! I bit show
the infatuation of the horses, and the levelling spirit common
to all strife, has seized on us all alike. 'Where are they now ?
Ah! there they fly arjuod the first turn! By heaven! Le-
comte is overhauling bim! And bo he was, for on entering
the back stretch of the second mile, the hero of 7:26 made his
most desperate efforts, reaching first the girth then the
shoulder, then the neck of Lexington, and finally, when he
reached the half-mile post, laid himself along-side him, nose
by nose. Then the mass, which during the few seconds of
this special struggle had been breathless with hope and fear,
burst into a Bhout that rung for miles, and amid the din of

which might be heard here and there, $lQ0even on Lecomte!'
But his equality was only for a moments' time. Lexington
threw his eye jealously askant; Gilpatrick relaxed a little of
his rein, which up to this time he had held close in hand,
and without violence, or startling effect, the racer of races
stole ahead gently, but steadily and easily, as before, until
he drew himself a clear length in the lead, in which position
they closed the second mile. Time, 1:51.

"Again the hurrah rises as they pass the stand — one hun-
to seventy-five on Lexington! — and swells in still wider vol-
umn when Lexington increased his one length to three, from
the stand to the turn of the back stretch. In vain Lecomte
struggled; in vain he called to mind his former laurels; in
vain his rider struck him with the steel; his great spirit was
a Bharper spear, and when his tail fell, as it did from that
time out, I could imagine he felt a sinking of the heart, as he
saw streaming before him the waving flag of Lexington, now
held straight out in race-horse fashion, and anon nervously
flung up, as if it werea plume of triumph. 'One hundred to
fifty on Lexington.' The three lengths were increased to
fonr, and again tbe shout arose, as in this relative condition
they went for the third time over the score. Time, 1:51.

"The last crisis of the strife had now arrived, andLecomte,
if he had any resources left, must call upon them straight,
So thought his rider, for tbe steel went into his Bide, but it
was in vain, he had done his best; while, as for Lexington, it
seemed as if he had juBt begun to run. Gilpatrick now gave
him a full rein, and, for a time, as he went down the back-
stretch, it actually seemed ?s if he was running for the very
fun of the tniug. It was now $100 to $10 on Lexington, or
any kind of odds, but there was no takers. He had the laurel
in his teeth, and was going for a distance. But at this inglor-
ious prospect Lecomte desperately rallied, and escaped the
humiliation by drawing himself a few lengths within the dis-
tance pole, whUe Lexington dashed past the stand hard in hand,
actually running away with his rider — making the last mile in
1:52^, and completing the four in the unprecedented time of
7:23f. I say unprecedented because it beats Lecomte's 7:26,
and is, therefore, the fastest heat that was ever made in a
match.

"Thus ended the greatest match that has happened on tbe
turf for many years; nay, I might rather say, that ever took
place, and putting to rest all cavil so far as Lexington's
powers are concerned, about the difference between 7:I9f and
7:26. In comparing the time, however, with that recorded in
favor of other racers, it should be stated that the track at New
Orleans is what is called a 'fast track, 'of a springy and elastic
nature, which is very favorable to the stroke of a running
horse, and, of course, conducive to speed. The Union track,
at Long Island, is not so favorable in its character, and
it should be born in mind by those who wish to be particular
in these matters, that Lexington and Lecomte, both being
colts, denominated under the term of *four-year-oldB,' have
neither of them, as yet, carried full weight. In closing, it is
also proper for me to state that Lexington carried three and
three-quarter pounds more of weight in his rider than Le-
comte, a circumstance which is more worthy of mention, as
he is 160 pounds the smaller horse.

"My account of the race is now concluded, for on the time
arriving for the second heat, the owner of Lecomte withdrew
his horse, and the purse and the laurels were awarded to the
'Hunter of Kentucky.*

"I will add, that no one who saw Lexington walk quietly
through the cheering crowd that flocked round him at the
close, as if his triumph were a matter he fully understood,
doubts that he has sense, memory and powers of reflection —
horse Bense, at leaBt. And yet presumptions mortals will
aver that Buch an animal has got no soul! In conclusion, and
according to racing style, I will now append the

That our readers may form some estimate of Lexington as a
race-horse, we have taken tbe liberty of attaching two letters
from his former trainer, Mr. J. B. Fryor. His well known
reputation as a trainer, his high character as a gentleman of
truth and integrity, will go further to establish the horse's
reputation than any words of ours could do:

"Berkshire, England, May 9, 1863.

"Dear Sir— I was much pleased yesterday to receive your
letter of the 21st ult., and moBt cheerfully give you any in-
formation that you may want about Lexington. Lexington
was a horse of the best and kindest temper, a good feeder,
and at the same time was a horse that never wanted the bard
work that Borne horses do. I never allowed him to run his
best in any trial. I gave him a four mile gallop at Natchez,
over the Pharalia Course, a few days before he went to New
Orleans to run for the Post Stake. I mean the Great State
Post Stake. He went tbe first mile alone, the second mile he
beat Jim Barton, the third mile be beat Col. Bingaman's
Attila, and the fourth mile he beat Little Flea. Each of thesa
horses was set in fresh, and each beaten from thirty to forty
yards. The laBt mile was run in 1:48. He was three years
old with 104 pounds on him, the others had about 80 pounds
on each. No horse was ever his match or ever could race
with him after a half mile. Lexington waB not fit to run
when Lecomte beat himj he wbb full of cold, and even then,
after having caught Lecomte and had him beat, the boy
stopped him, thinking be had gone four miles. Lexington,
when right was a distance better than any horse I ever saw
run in America, four-mile heats, and I have seen all the best
horses run in Euglaud for three years, and there is not a
horse here that he could not beat fonr miles. There are
horses here that might beat or race with him two miles, but
none four. He could go faster at the end of four miles than
most horses can a half mile. I have been training horses
thirty years, and am positive that Lexington is the best race-
horse I ever saw in any coontrv. When be ran against time
in New Orleans, he could have run in 7:10. "Wben he beat
Lecomte the next week he could have beaten him three hun-
dred yards, and I doobt if you could have beaten Lexington
that day. I gave him tuls with sucb horses as Charmer,
Wade Hamptoo, Arrow, Wild Irishman and Little Fiea; none
could ever make him rnn; the gallop was always over after
three-Quarters of a mile,

"In speaking of Lecomte. he was a good race-horse in any
company but Lexington's, but he was like all others, no match
to him. Sour obedient servant,

J. B. Pryor."

From another letter, two years after the above was written,
we extract the following notice of the English horses:

"Compton, Berks, Eng., Feb. 3, 1S65.

"Dear Sik — In looking over some old letters to-day, I
found yours of the 25th of June, 1S63, which is most interest-
ing to me. Things in the way of racing are about the same
as when you were in this country, except that the three-year-
olds of last year were better in number than any season for
some time still. I think Thormanby the best Derby horse I
have Been. Both General Peel and Blair Athol are fine horse?,
but neither finish a race like Thormanby. I have seen all
the best horses run here for five years, and seen them run all
distances, and feel sure, without prejudice, that Lexington
was superior to all horses in England or any other country,
bh I have seen some of the best Arabs here, and he could
have teaten them all. Your obedient servant,

J. B. Prtor."

DESCRIPTION OF LEXINGTON.

Lexington was a light blood bay, fifteen hands, three inches
high, with four white feet extending over .the pastern joints;
his head, though not small, was clean, bony and handsome —
his noBtrils being large, the jawbone uncommonly wide, and
the jaws wide apart, affording abundant room for a clear and
well detached throttle. His bones were not particularly
large, except the backbone, which was immensely so. His
neck rose well from his shoulders and joined his head admir-
ably. His shoulders were wide and well placed, particularly
oblique, and rising well at the withers. His back was of
medium length, coupling well back; a loin wide, slightly
arched and very powerful. His body was large, round and
full, being ribbed in the best possible manner, very deep
through the heart, which made his legs look short. His hips
were not remarkably wide, though strong. His arms were not
large, and his gasEin or second thigh was peculiarly light and
thin, and to our eye, was his greatest defect. His feet and
legs were sound and clean, with tendons large and Etrong as
catgut. His action was superb — bold, free, elastic and fall of
power. It seems to be supererogation on our part to criticise
such a horse, every part seemed to have been laid with such
a justness of proportion and admirable adaptation of one part
to another, that all worked as easy as a patent lever watch.
Lexington did not belong to any of the great lines of his
family. He was not a Boston, he was not a Sarpedon, he
was not a Timoleon and he was not a Sumpter. In his form
the noblest and best qualities of every strain in his blood
were oombined to form a harmonious union. Nature seemed
to have selected and drawn to itself whatever was good and
great, while it rejected all those mean and more ignoble ele-
ments.

"Look' how round his straining throat

Grace and shifting beauty float!

Sinewy strength is on bis reins,

And the red blood gallops through his veins —

Richer, redder, never raD

Through the boasting heart of man,

Be can trace his lineage blcher

Than tbe Bourbon dare aspire —

Douglas, Guzman or tbe Guelph,

Or O'Brien's blood itself.

Lexington never broke down; his legs were as clean as a
colt's up to the day of his death. Shortly after his last race
with Lecomte his eyes failed, and Mr. Ten Broeck sent him
to Kentucky, and he made his first season of 1S55 at W. F,
Harper's near Midway, Ey , limited to twenty mares at $100
each, payable before the mare was served. He made the
season of 1856 at the same place and upon the same terms.
Daring the month of June, 1S56, Mr. R. A. Alexander wei t
to Eogland to import a stallion, accompanied by Mr. Nelson
Dudley, of Fayette Co., Ky. Mr. Dudley insisted on Mr.
Alexander purchasing Lexington, and said to him that what-
ever else he bought he must not leave England until he pur-
chased Lexington. He said he was the best race-horse in
the world, and if he did not purchase him that, situated as
he was, he would be a thorn in his side. Mr. A. purchased
Scythian, and then, in deference to Mr. Dudley's judgment,
which has been remarkably verified, he bought Lexington at
$15,000 of Mr. Ten Broeck, who was thenin England — $7,500
cash, the remainder if Lexington was living upon Mr. Alex-
ander's arrival in America; if not he was to lose the $7,500
already paid. He stood at Woodburn Farm, commencirg
with the season of 1857 (except his temporary removal in 1S65
to Illinois), down to the day of his death, Thursday. Julv 1,
1S75.

Montana Items.

Quite a number of people uttenoed the race track yesterday
to witness a match race between Sam Scott's br stallion Don
L. and Lodge and Beaumont's bay stallion Bristow, toe
match being for $200 a side. The betting was even and con-
siderable money changed hands, it being a local race and
both horses having quite a number of friends. In the first h< at
they got off at second attempt, Don L. broke on the firot
turn and lost several lengths, but down the backstretch he
made up for lost time, and at lhe half they were on even
terms, and they trotted like a double team to the three-quar-
ter pole, when Bristow broke and Don L. came away win-
ning the heat in "2:51.

Second heat— Betting the same as first. They got away on
even lerms after scoring for some time; Don L. broke on the
first turn and was a distance out at the quarter, but the

Salt Lake Summer Meeting:.

Fhom our Special Commissioneb.

The Bummer meeting of the Utah Driving Park Associa-
tion commenced to-day at the association's track, near thiB
city. About seventy-rive of the fast onesjare quartered here,
and California appears in the lead in point of numbers and
quality of the animals. B.C. Holly, of Vallejo, is present
■with a good string and looks as nonoualant and sanguine as
ever.

His horses are Yolo Maid, 2:14; "Valentine, 2:22; San Diego,
2:21; Vesoha, 2:29£; Pink, 2:29 J; and one or two others. As
there is nothing fast enough to go with Yolo Maid, it is not
probable that she will be seen in any fast work here.

Among other Californians represented are Garratt and
Moody, of Chico; Sturgis & Lambert, of Eureka; Hazlett &
Davisl San FranciBco; E. G. Smith, of San Francisco; John
Clawson, of Vallejo and F. M. Starkey, of Sacramento A. C.
Brey, of Portland, Oregon, is on deck with Lady Maud.

Nearly all of these horses will go on the Montana circuit.
Here Yolo Maid may meet something to bear her company.
L. C. Lee 2:15, is one side wheeler that will probably be seen
there and is said to be doing some good work. If he meets
the great California mare there, and they are both in shape,
people may look out for some fast time.

The track was in good condition for the first day's sport,
the weather fair, and attendance small.

Mr. Holly's mare Pink, was picked up for a winner in the
2:30 trot, but evidently because bettors thought that "By"
would have nothing that couldn't win. She was sent for all
there was in her, but the clip was a little too fast for her on
tnis track. I. Jay S. had to work hard for this victory.

This ended the summer meeting of the Association, and
some good races were witnessed. The Association lost over
$1,000 on the meeting, and certainly did not meet with much
encouragement in their efforts to furnish good sport.

Rearing Foals.

In the great majority of cases the foal is reared solely on its
mother's milk for a period ranging from four to six months.
Unless exceptional circumstances have arisen — unless, for
some cause or other, the mare becomes an inefficient or un-
kindly nurBe— it will rarely happen that the mother and off-
spring require special aid or interference until weaning-time
arrives.

Occasionally it does happen that a mare, most likely in
oaseB of the first foal, will not admit the youngster to the
udder. The cause of this may be nervousness or ill-temper,
and as a rule a little kindly coaxing will do all that is requir-
ed. Let the mare see that you mean no harm to her or her
foal; speak gently to her; give her a drink of milk-warm guel
and & mouthful of sweet hay; leave the two together for a
quarter of au hour, and if she should once begin to lick the
foal there will be little fear of her objecting to its sucking.
If you find still that she is not licking the foal, Bprinkle a
little flour over its back, and contrive gently to bring the
presence of the flour under her notice.

Try hard with coaxing before resorting to other measures.
A mare in such circumstances is inclined tobesuspioiouB.and
will watch your conduct very closely and with wonderful
intelligence. Kindliness iB a valuable attribute in the atten-
dant upon broodmares. In caBes such as haB been indicated
there is ample scope for the exercise of both virtues. Id
nine caBes out of ten these will successfully accomplish the
object.

But if it should unfortunately happen that by gently coax-
ing the mother can not be induced to admit the foal to the

teat, other measure of the firmer kind must be resorted to

still taking care that in all measures, however drastic, calm-
ness and good temper are displayed. Fussiness and irritabil-
ity Bhould never be witnessed in the foaling-box. The mare
would quickly detect such behavior, and would become the
1 ss tractable in consequence. Be kind but firm with the mare,
giving her clearly to understand that while you will not
;:buse her you mean to make her submit to your will. De-
pend upon it she will not be Blow to road your meaning.
The intelligence of horses is wonderful. We would often be
uore successful than we are in the management of oon-
rary animals if we treat them more rationally than we do,
and paid more respect to their intelligence and sensibility'.
In a very special sense these remarks apply in the foaliug-
box,

Sometimes when coaxing has failed confinement of the two
in a dark, loose box will be sufficient to bring mother and
foal into friendly relationship. If this, again, should fail,
hold the mare, and allow the foal to suck. If the mare is
vicious, she may attempt to kick the foal. In that case hold
up her near forefoot; and if she is persistently obBtinate and
mischievous, it may be necessary to put the twitch on her
nose, and perhaps administer a little sharp chastisement
with the whip, taking care that no harm comes to the foal in
the excitement. These extreme measures will very seldom
be necessary, and should never be resorted to until all the
more gentle efforts have been tried in vain.

Admit the foal to the udder five or bix times a day, and
each time, before resorting to harsh measures, do your very
best to induco her to let it suck willingly. Most likely two
days of such treatment will bring the mare to a sense of her
duty. In rare cases of obstinaoy the interference may have
to be continued for a whole week.

The foal will often be very awkward in its first efforts to
suck. Do not attemp to assist or direct it. Keep the mare
quiet and let the youngster feel its way itself. The instincts
of nature will be its best teacher, and it will soon learn
how to proceed. The mare's udder may be hard and the teats
dry. If so, rub the udder with the hand and draw away a
little milk, leaving the teats moist, so as to lead on the foal
in its first attempt to suck.

Inflammation sometimes occurs in the udder of a mare
being sucked. The udder is found to be hard and hot to the
touch, and evidently painful to the mare Foment the udder
with warm bran-water, rub gently, and draw away a little
milk at frequent intervals. It may be necessary to remove the
foal for a few days and give the mare a dose of physic. Do
not give medicine unless the foal is taken away from the
mare for a time. A change of diet and low feeding for a few
days may give releif . In a bad case, lose no time in calling
in a veterinary snrgeon. — British Farming World.

Old Turf Heroes.

In a recent issue of the Inter-Ocean, A. F. Aldridge thus
describes how many of the old heads of the turf are finishing
their days:

"This old horse was one of the crack racers in his day."

The horse referred to was doing duty between the shafts
of a wagon that carries passengers along the boulevard on
Long Island. He did his work well, and tried just as hon-
estly to earn his oats as he did when he was well cared for
by some rieh turfman, and won applause from the patrons of
the race-course by winning for them large sums of money.

So this is the future for the splendid animals that win for-
tunes for their owners. While they have speed, can run well
and win fame and money, nothing is too good for them. As
soon, though, as they become too old to race, lose their
speed or break down, they must go. Their owners, for
whom they have done so much, get rid of them to make
room for more champions, and they often descend to the
very lowest grades. What becomes of all the race-horses?
This is a question often asked by the thousands who visit
the tracks of this country. The stallions are invariably sent
to the stud, where they are well taken care of for the re-
mainder of their days. The geldings often have a hard time
of it. Some become saddle-horses, and right good ones, too,
they often make. Some are broken to harness, and are used
in all the vehicles that a horse can pull. Some of the might-
iest performers on the turf are to-day doing the humblest
work a horse can be put to. A few of the rich owners,
though, seem to have appreciated the faithful work done by
these noble animals, and are letting them live quietly for the
remainder of their lives.

CHECKMATE PULLING A STAGE.

Every turfman has heard of Checkmate. Every one is
fond of singing his praises still, and many are often heard to
Bay: "We have no Checkmate on the turf now." V6ry few
of those who saw him win tne Saratoga Cup would recognize
the old hero now. Then his coat shone like glass. He was
ia good health, strong and hearty. He looked like the race-
horse he was, and seemed proud of his own speed and stami-
na. Now he looks tired and jaded. His coat is rough and
dusty. He is used by a Kentuckian to draw a stage between
two Kentucky villages, and on race days he draws the coach
on to Churchill Downs, the scene of his early victories. On
such days he seems to remember the days of his glory, and a
little of the old fire will flash in his eyes. Checkmate is a
native of Kentucky. His sire was Glen Athol and his dam
Full Crv. He was foaled in 1875, and first hore the colors of
J. T. Williams to victory. Later on he was bought by the
Dwyer Bros., and was one of the horses that made thoir name
famous on the turf. During three years of his career on the
tnrf he won $32,000 in stakes and purses, and it is safe to
say he won more than $350,000 for his backers during his
career. Among the hoiBes that he has beaten are George
McCullougn, Freeland, Ferida, Bootjack, Monitor, and the
mighty Hindoo.

BOOTJACK'S OT>D CAHEEE,

Bootjack has had a career unequalled by any other thor-
oughbred. He was one of the gamest horses that ever won a
race. He has defeated all the fastest horses on the turf and
won a fortune for his owners. Bootjack was by Bonnie
Scotland, dam Sparrowgrass. He was foaled in 1878, was
first raced in Milton Young's colors, but later on was pur-
chased by the Dwyer Bros., and won large sums of money
for them. He won forty-nine races before he was six years
old. They were worth $33,965, and the money won in bets
was probably ten times that amount. Some of the raoes that
went to his credit were the Cash Handicap, Ohio Derby,
Belle Meade, Burnett House, Great American Stallion and
Mapolia Stakes, and among the horses that had to succumb
to his speed were Checkmate, General Monroe, Ada Glenn, 1
Girofla, and Churchill, all speedy ones. When he broke !
down, Brown Dick, the colored traiuer, broke him to har-
ness and used him to draw a buggy. Last year he trained
him again, and he started in a three-quarter-mile dash race at
GraveBend. He came in last, but received much more ap-
plause than the winner. Dick then sold him, and now he is
being used as a Baddle and driving horse by a Kentucky gen-
tleman who admired the old fellow in his palmiest days.

DRAKE CARTER'S IIARD LUCK.

Drak* Carter, the highest-priced gelding, is now a saddle-
horse. He was owned by Green Morris, who sn!d bim to
Pierre Lorillard for $17,500 as a tbiee-year-old. Drake Car-
fcM is by Ten Broeck. dam I'Utinu. He was one of the best
diatsnce hor-es the countrv ever paw, and beat suoh good
ones as G< neral Monroe, Levant, Bluegrass Belle, Fosters!,
Ella Warfield, Compensation and Bu-hwacker. He has the
record for three miles, 5;24, which he made at Sheepshead
Bay, on September 6, 18SG. When Mr. Lorillard retired from
the turf Drake Carter wa« sold to a Mr. Smith, of Toronto.
He was then used as a saddle horse. Last year he changed
hands. His new owner would not let the old hero rest, and

had him put in training again. He was started at a hunt
meeting, and the idol of Green Morris, Pierre Lorillard, and
hundreds of turfmen was beaten by a field of sorry nags.

BALD-FACED MONITOR RESTING.

"Old Bald-Face wins again," used often to be the cry a'
the races a few years ago. Old Bald-Face was George L. Lor"
illard's horse Monitor, a game and speedy son of Glenelg*
whose white face used to be seen in the van no matter what
company he was in or how last the pace was. Mrs. George
L. Lorillard is determined that the old ;fellow shall never
know want, and with that end in view she has a specially
prepared paddock at the Locusts, her farm near Eatontown,
N. J., where he may roam at will. Frequently he will go to
one end of the paddock, throw up his heels and gallop to the
other end like a two-year-old, as remembering his early days.
Monitor haB a best record for two and one-eighth mile, run-
ning at that distance, at Baltimore, on Oct. 20, 1880, in 3:44i.
He had no superior in his day over a distance of ground!
Monitor's case was an exception to the general rule. He is
remembered in his old days for the fame and fortune he won
when in his prime.

FREELAND IN A BUGGY.

Twenty thousand persons journeyed down to Long Branch
and to Brighton Beach three years ago to see the races be-
tween Ed. Corrigan's gelding Freeland and the Dwyer Bros.'
Miss Woodford. Freeland won two races and Miss Woodford
one. Freeland was by Longfellow, dam Belle Knight. He
was foaled in 1879, and won thousands of dollars for Ed.
Corngan. Two years ago he broke down, and after trying
to patch him up for some time Corrigan decided to use him
in his buggy. The old horse is entered in a steeplechase
stake to be decided at the West Side Park, Chicago, so Corri-
gan is evidently determined to try him again over the
sticks.

OTHER NOTED ONES.

Apollo, the winner of the sensational American Derby in
1883, beating the Dwyer Bros.' Runnymede, the favorite of
the race in the betting, is now used as a Baddle-horse in
South Carolina. This is the horse that got Captain Sam
Brown, the owner of the sensational Troubadour, into Buch
trouble, through his alleged intimations of crookedness on
the part of the Dwyer Bros. Apollo is owned by Dr. Hughes
who used to ride him every day. He was one of the best
hunters in the State.

Barnum, one of the best of Bonnie Scotland's get, and the
only one now on the turf, is as lithe and as active as of yore
and, although he has loBt much of his Bpeed, he occasional!^
wins a good race. He haB participated in more races than
anv other thoroughbred, but has about run to the end of his
active career now, and will soon be doing duty between the
shafts. Six years ago Barnum won the Louisville Cup Two
years ago he ran a dead-btat with Mies Woodford for the
Coney Island Cup. He has beaten some of the moBt noted
horses on the turf, and haB proved a veritable gold mine for
his o^ner. H. J. Woodford. In fact, he haB often been called
" Yoodford b gold mine."

Hickory Jim is another wonderful gelding, whose perform-
ances entitle him to mention. He haB been running in the
vicinity of NewYork for more than ten years, and was taken
there from the West. He is &aid to be twenty yeaTB old, and
is still able to win races, often beating some very fast young-
sters. This is phenomenal, as thoroughbreds rarely race
after six or seven years. It looks as though he would race
to the end of hiB life. He deserves a rest now, surely.

When Luke Bluckborn was winning all the races in whiuh
he was entered, the Dwyer Bros, purchased a full brother to
Luke. They named, him Joe Blackburn. He was by Bonnie
Scotland, dam Nevada, and he coBt $6,500. They started him
in several races, but he never won one, and, finally, in dis-
gust they gave him away. He is now drawing a buggy at
Long Branch.

Speculation, one of the most famous steeplechasers ever
seen in this country, is another unfortunate. His sire was
Daniel Boone, dam Lizzie Stodghill— good breeding that. He
won fame and money over the sticks, but is now drawing a
cart about the streets of Brooklyn. His owner peddles
oigars.

Blenheim, a very speedy racer, by Billet, dam Keno, cost
the Dwyer Bros. $3,500 as a yearling. He won Borne good
stakes and purses. Now he is used as a saddle-horse by
Miss Dougan, the daughter of Xoni Dougan, of Brooklyn
Jockey Club Hotel fame.

HaBsan, a tine-looking colt by King Ban, dam Haz'em
foaled in 1880, and owned by Walker & Co., was at one time
a great favorite for the Kentucky Derby. Now he is pulling
a harrow over a race-track where other thoroughbreds are
trying to win fame and money.

Bull's-Eye, by Lisbon, dam Target, was once owned by the
Hon. S. SandyB. He beat Mr. Pierre Lorillard's fast mare
Aranza in a mile race at Sheepshead Bay. Since then he
has had a hard time. He has at times been half-Btarved, then
he has been used in a buggy and as a saddle-horBe, and now
he is to be trained again to try and win more money for his
owner.

Old Criokmore is another famous old gelding. He was
good over almost any distance of ground. His greatest race
was for the Coney Island Cup, run at Sheepshead Bay. The
distance wsb three miles, ana he beat the great Hindoo in
very fast time. Criokmore is now on ex-Governor Oden
Bowie's farm, in Maryland.

RoryO'More, another old-timer and a very good steeple-
chaser, by Dickens, dam Annie Arundel, is now drawing a
butcher's cart in Brooklyn.

Benton, a first-claBS two-year-old, and the favorite for the
Withers Stake four years ago, is doing duty as a park hack.
Shelby Barnes, by Reform or Alarm, dam Emily Fuller,'
was formerly owned by the father of Jockey Barne--. Young
Barnes claimed he was swindled out of the horse. Shelby
Barnes was a very good sprinter and a good plater. He is
now in Illinois, and draws a buggy for his owner.

Poet, by Longfellow, dam Jenny McKinney, was a fast
sprinter, owned by Alfred Lakeland. He has been broken
to harness, and has developed good speed between the
shafts.

Old Monogram has developed a very good trotter. It is
said he can go in a 2:40 gait. Monogram was owned by R.
C. Pate. He is by Buck den, dam Monomania. A few years
ago he won <he Distillers' Stake, and was immediately made
a hot favorite for the Suburban. He was beaten, though.

Lelex is another good one that has had a varied career. He
was very faBt a few years ago and was then retired. He was
sold to a manager of a circus and did service in the ring.
Two years ago he was trained again by Dan Honig, and has
won some very good races.

Trouble, the greatest Bteeplechaser of the age, has appeared
on the stage. He is used bb u saddle-horse.

Fellowplay, a very fast sprinter, owned by Green Morris,
and the conqueror of every fast horse on the turf a few years
ago, is now in a public hack.— [The Horseman.

The Wealth of California.

To the pioneers who take rank among the argonauts, the
change -which has come over this golden and most favored
land since the days of '49 is not less notable in industrial as-
pects than it is in the various other degrees through which
California has advanced fo distinguishment and wealth and
material grandeur, or has undergone mutations in endow-
ments of lavish Nature, the equal or equivalent of which no
other country of all the world has ever possessed. The vir-
gin gold, in unprecedented rich deposits, has been digged
from its beds of centuries and cast about the habitable
globe with a profusion in the general distribution which
has enriched the universe. It has awakened enterprise,
spurred energies, enabled colossal undertakings, caused the
spanning of the continent to the rapid transportation by
sail, given creation and impulse to the cutting of isthmus
lioatures to facilitate the commerce and travel of the world,
and by an expansiveness of phenomenal success to incalcu-
lable ends, wrought from hitherto informed sources, through
the agencies of electricity and the mystery-hidden powers of
Nature, brought these to the subserviency of man by the
potency of scientific discoveries in conjunction with ma-
terial mechanical inventions competent to master the diffi-
culties which had in all past ages been considered insuper-
able obstructions to the might of intellect in obtaining dom-
ination of the resources which overcome distance and render
space as a unit in the supreme reckoning. The gold of Cali-
fornia was the vast and immeasurable motive power which
produced this extraordinary quickening of human intelli-
gence; this unprecedented vitality in the now and pulsation
of every vein and artery in the practical movements of peo-
ples to a higher sphere in the world's activities and to
broader grander, more enriching and more beneficent results
in the ' comprehensive progress of every people of every

clime.

It is remarkable that the region from whence this unlock-
ing process has come had been for more than a century com-
paratively an unexplored and unknown land, although peo-
pled by an imigration which was contented wiih the wild
and easy-going pursuits of primiiive pastoral pursuits, de-
voted to the faith oi their fathers, and happy in the posses-
sions they held upon the coast, unmindful of the treasures
hidden beneath the soil, and caring nothing to investigate
the richness of the soil itself in the production of the necessi-
ties of life which hnsbanday reveals and rewards. Its gold
at last was its moving power. This attracted to it the at-
tention of the world, excited the cupidity of the mere hunters
for gold, incited the ambition of others who needed gold as
the fulcrum by which to move to the aggrandizement of
their designs, and populated California with the most adven-
turesome and the livelist of every country and race.

This early immigration founded the unexampled condition
of a land of adult population— mostly of men, hardy, adven-
turous, of indomitable oharacter. The California of their
imagination and description was no more than a region of
wilderuesB and desert, with only its wealth of gold to make
it endurable. Their object was to "mike their pile" and re-
turn to their homes in distant countries to enjoy it. Habita-
tion and residence wrought very different opinions and con-
clusions. As they remained and located, new and better
ideas dawned and grew. It was neither a wilderness nor a
desert; above all else it was favored with a climate beyond
compare to any, even from the sunny South or to any who
had experienced the delights of Italian skies. Colonel Fre-
mont had written of it, after exploration, that the honey bee
would not survive the flight across the Kocky Mountains.
California now outranks in its pure quality tne honey of
Palestine. It was believed that the land was unfitted to the
uses of farming, and for years the pioneers imported their
breadstuffB and provisions and fruits. The early Catholic
missions produced their thrifty and excellent vineyards and
olives and other varieties, but these were regarded as excep-
tional. The interior was held as arid and not arable. Neces-
sity is the mother of invention, and so ib it the father of ex-
ertion and the prompter to experiment. As the gold diggings
diminished in product, the nobler pursuits of agriculture
were followed. The results are before the world. California
is alone in the belt which wears the belt of championship,
and has the joy and pride and profit in not only the luxuri-
ance and superabundance of her cereal crops from which to
supply the world, in her surpassing vineyards and her
matchless fruits, and in her edible vegetable products, of the
temperate zone, but she excels in the marketable citric pro-
ducts of the lower zone, and has the Atlantic as her best
customer for these, while Europe every year grows more in
favor of her wines, and before her as augmenting stable mar-
kets *re the ports of South America, of the Pacific, of Aus-
tralia and of Asia. This traffic is illimitable as it is profita-
ble California holds the supreme position.

The fortune of the early gold hunters is changed to the
possession of the agriculturist. From the consequence of the
gold, as the broadest and most enticing in advertising the
State to the world, has come the surer and more satisfactory
and enduring wealth whioh is in lands and their productive-
ness, with the pride of their acknowledged excellence to the
cheer, until now, without extravagance of claim, it can be
said that California is the cynosure of the globe.

There is another pursuit still to add to this great measure
of praise and congratulation. California is becoming distin-
guished for the superiority in horses of beBt breeds and
motile. In the pioneer period the Spanish horses of Cali-
fornia were remarkable for their speed and endurance, their
easy gait and fine qualities not possessed by the average of
horses of the other side of the continent. The celebrated
Pico horse which ran the great race for ©10.000 at San Jose
in 1850 againat the Hudspeth colt and was beaten by better
skilled handling, was proof of the speed quality, and the
extraordinary performance of the horse which Fremont ro^e
from Los Angeles to Sutter's Fort — over 600 mileB — in 1847,
in eight days, is sufficient testimony to establish the endur-
ance.

It is believed that the early California horse had the blood
of the splendid Barbary horses imported by the Spanish
nobles, some of which had been brought to California by the
early cavaliers who came as representatives of the Crown.
At all events they difftred in quality from the native horses,
in essential points, and were of uncommon toughness to
withstand the fatigue of long journeys. These horses have
nearly disappeared, however, before the influx of the Ameri-
can norses that were brought across the plains in early gold
hunting days and since.

Shrewd and observant horsemen observed that the horses
brought to this coast from the States across the Kocky Moun-
tains improved in quality . The climate and soil of this State
were more conducive to the animal in every respect. There
the horse attained nearest perfection. Only a few engaged
in bringing very choice, nearly thoroughbred, and costly
horses from Kentucky in the early days of California. John
Walsh, Nathan Coombs, Theodore Winters, and others, en-
gaged in the good work. Their efforts were inadequately
rewarded. Ill-fortune and death intervened in some cases.
Walsh died on one of the most favorable expeditions at the
out-set of any while returniug across the plains, and some of
his best selections succumbed to the fatigues of the tediouB
journey. But these were, in some respects, in advance of
the times. Bifleman, Belmont, Norfolk, Lodi, and some
others have in their progeny demonstrated the benefitswhich
have succeeded. Since their time, the accumulation and dis-
tribution of great wealth — the consequence of the California
gold discovery — has enabled others to engage in the business.
But the great impetus given to live stock breeding in Cal-
ifornia can be assigned to a period embraced in the last twen-
ty years. Governor Stanford started with his magnificent
Palo Alto, since supplemented by the Vina Farm. Mr. Hag
gin, Mr. Corbett, Mr. Rose, Mr. Baldwin, all wealthy men,
have greatly added to the enterprise. In the State are
many breeding farms of note and merit. The Breeder and
Sportsman has made worthy mention of them all. More
particular mention is not neglected here, but simply omitted
through momentary want of remembrance of names and
places. The main point is adhered to. These breeders and
their breeding farms have won for California another and
gratifying place in the niches which the world allots to excel-
lence and celebrity in the department of the Turf. Greatly
as the Stste has advanced in agriculture, industry and
wealth, California has already equally advanced in the
renown of her horses, and the promise is of the brightest
for the future. California bred horses, sons and daughters
of the noted sires and dams of thoroughbred famous lines of
England and Kentucky, the pick of the racing and trotting
studs and stables, are yearly sent to the East for sale, and
they command the highest prices from experienced horse-
men. It is another instance of the wonderfnl progression of
California from the condition of the dependent to that of the
master quality — to better supply the market from which it
originally drew for its needs and luxuries.

The iudustry is within the means of the average Califor-
nia farmer to embrace and profit. It is all in the breeding
The owner of an ordinary farm can breed upon it the colt
which may astonish the Turf in performance, and make the
fortune of his breeder. The opportunities are in the State,
within the means of farmers, and need only to be taken at
advantage. There is scarcely a limit to the price the greatest
speed will command. Up to $100 000 has already been
offered and refused for a trotter. Vanderbilt could have
sold Maud S. for that sum Mr. Corbett refused ©75,000 for
his Guy Wilkes. Within the month offers of $65,000 and
$80,000 have been refused in the East for noted trotters fresh
in surpassing records. Bell Boy sold for $51,000 at two
years old. Several instances of sales all the way from $30,-
000 to $50,000 can be cited. The careful farmer has it
within his ability to become the owner of a colt of high
value. The California farmer is especially favored in this
respect. The gold is always ready for the purchase. The
colt or horse will bring it to him. It is all in the breeding.

Horses Around Los Alamos

bara.

and Santa Bar-

Althongh Los Alamos is in Santa Barbara, still it is a long
hot drive to get there from here. You leave Santa Barbara at
7 a. m., and arrive in Los Alamos the next morning. You
take the stagecoach — a real old-time Btagecoach, drawn by
six. and you travel the first day fifty miles. The road is
picturesque, the mountain scenery being very grand. When
you reach the top of the mountain, about three thousand feet
higher, you have a beautiful sight of Santa Barbara Valley
and the grand Pacific. Going down on the other Bide your
eyes meet grand scenes. After ten hours' ride you arrive at
Los OlivoB, the terminus of the Narrow Gauge that runs to
Port Harford and San Luis Obispo. At Los Olivos there is a
comfortable hotel, managed by a jovial, large-hearted, robust
gentleman, who is always striving to please his customers.

You remain at Los Olivos over night, and in the morning
to take the Narrow Guage, and in three-quarters of an hour
you are landed at Los Alamos. There we were met by J. M.
Rochin, a man who is fonder of equine sports than almost any
one. Some twelve years ago Mr. Rochin bought two stal-
lions, Neury and Brilliant. He gave for the stallions a band
of California mares and geldings. By Neury he has many
fine mares, but by Brilliant very few. Mr.- Kochin en-
tertained us royally, and took us over the ranch, show-
ing us eight or nine hundred head of stock and beef
cattle. He had his man drive his broodmares and fillies into
a small corral, and well repaid were we for our long ride, for
he has some handsome fillies and colts.

The first mare that attracted my eyes was Asparia by Henry,
dam Mary EIUb. She hae a suckling colt by Anlioch, he by
A. W. Richmond ont of Monte Belle. Next came a yearling
by Antiocb, first dam Lola Monies, she by Henry; second
dam Lady Belmont, Bhe by Alexander's Belmont. This is as
haodsome a yearling as I want to see, aud I am sure that we
will hear good reports of him next year. We noted next a

yearling filly by Antioch, dam by Brilliant, he by Young
Morril, he by imported Morril. The breeding of this filly is
excellent. There were too many yearlings aud sucklings for
me to numerate. They are a fine lot, and Mr. Kochin is
justly proud of his young ones.

Before I go any further I want to say that in my last letter
I said that Mr. Rochin's sorrel gelding Don Ramon was by
Almont. His stallion's name is Antioch and not Almont, as
I had been informed. Antioch is a beautiful brown horse,
with au open, square gait, and is liable to trot very fast if he
is handled properly. Mr. Rochiu will not prepare him for a
record till next year.

We were taken to the Btables aDd shown some fine geldingB
and fillies that are being prepared for the fall races. We
were shown the only stallion Mr. Rochin has by Henry.
Henry's pedigree is too well known for me to repeat; it is all
explained when you say that Henry was by Lexington, dam
Hobire, she by imported Glencoe. This sorrel stallion is six
yearB old and makes half-miles and three-quarters very rapidly.
His dam is Lady Belmont. We were then shown one of the
handsomest two-year-old filly I have ever seen; she knows no
other gait than trot; she carries her head very high, and is
full of life; she is oalled California Girl, and is by Antiocb,
first dam Asparia. Asparia was trained two months, and
trotted quarters handily in forty seconds.

We also saw a beautiful bay three-year-old called Altunita
by Altoona, he by Almont. Aitoona's dam was Teresa B.
The dam of the handsome filly Altunita is Lola Montes, she
by Henry.

Mr. Gillett is driving for Mr. Rochin, and he appears to
be a careful trainer. The colts that he handles are all in
tine trim, and hesa>sare Improving eveiy day. The mile
track at Los Alamos was made this summer, and although
heavy now it can be made a fast track. The homestretch is
very fast, as there is a perceptible down grade. I was
told that a six-year-old gelding called Baby ran a quarter in
22£ seconds on Jnly 4th last. We are confident that Mr.
Rochin will have horses this fall that will make a good show-
ing. Next year he will have at least sixteen youngsters in
training and we will hear good reports of them. Santa Bar-
bara county will be proud of Antioch's colts, and we hope
that he will reign as king of the harem for years to come.
In the afternoon we left Los Alamos for Loe Olivos. There
we remained over night, and the next day we were in Santa
Barbara. We drove in a tri-color conveyance furnished by
Mr.- Rochin. The drive was a most enjoyable one.

Our track here at Santa Barbara is fast* filling up with fine
horses as the fall races approach. Last week several young-
sters came to be prepared for the races. I have never seen a
horse improve as rapidly as Rpsewall. He looks all over a
trotter now, and acts like one. This grey stallion is by A.
W. Richmond, dam Mileta by Creighton. Last year Rose-
wall trotted in 2:32, but he was a mixed gaited horse and he
labored too much to make a fast one. When Gus Walters
took him I told him that the horse was going wrong. I
raised Rosewall and when he was sixteen months old, with
no training, he could trot in 3:10. He had a beautiful open
gait and was the handiest breaker that I had ever seen. Gns
Walters has been working hard on him, and to-day Rosewall
has an open square gait, and is sure to trot very fast, for his
propelling powers are immense, and he is as game a stallion
as ever trotted on a track. I am delighted to see this stallion
in so fine a condition. He will surely trot in twenty and
next year low down in the teens. He is owned by Assembly-
man C. A. Starke of this county.

Another horse that attracted my attention at the track is a
two-year-old by Altoona. He is a bright bay, has beautiful
shoulders, as strong a back as ever held a horse together,
and the cleanest, best-shaped hind legs I ever saw. This
colt will pace fast enough to take in the Eastern Circuit next
year. He reminds me of Arrow. He paces just like him,
and I think will equal Arrow's best time. J. N. Johnson of
Santa Barbara is the owner of this handsome two-year-
old.

The runners on the track are d >ing well. Othello, bay
stallion thoroughbred, by Hock Hocking, 1st dam Sunday
by Monday, is an elegant and speedy runner. Hock Hock-
ing is by Ringmaster out of Young Fashion, she by imported
Monarch. This Othello is being trained by F. Menchuca,
and is owned by Harris of Los Alamos. Othello's trainer has
also a brown three-year-old filly by Wildidle, 1st dam Mary
Wade by Woodburn; 2nd dam Viola by imported St.
George; 3rd dam Lucy by Lexington. He has also a two-
year-old filly by Wildidle, 1st dam Phoebe Hall, she by Joe
Daniels and out of Mary Wade.

J. M. Hunter of Montecito has a gray three-year-old filly
in training. She looks as though she could run a half and
three-quarters very fast. She is by Accident, he by Monday,
1st dam Maggie Barnes, she by Alexander Barnes and out of
Evadua.

George C. Sherman has a black yearling, four white feet,
that will show his heels to many a two-year-old next year.
He oalls him Midnight. He is by Accident; dam of Accident
was by Norfolk. Midnight's dam is by Henry, 2nd dam by
Rifleman.

C. E. Sherman has a good looking stallion, Hambletonian
Piince by Old Judge, he by Sawyer's Hambletonian, he by
WhipDle's. First dam by Rifleman.

N. A. Corrnbias has on the track a two-year-old runner
that exercises bis half mile in 49}- He calls him Gambo, he
by Wildidle, first dam Dotty Dimple, record half mile, 4SJ.
Dotty Dimple by Ben Wade. T. R. More.

Santa Barbara, July 29, IS89.

Age for Castrating Colts.

Dr. Liautard, in Animal Castration, says a period between
eighteen months and two vears is generally preferred for
horses, though according to authorities.evena much later date
may be chosen, some British veterinarians being accustomed
to operate as early as ten days from birth. It in immaterial,
however, at what precise time the operation may be performed
since it is a conceded point that the earlier it is done the
better.

When it is possible, choose the season most fnvorable for
the operation, and for securing the b6st chances for recov-
ery; the spring or the early stage of the fall are those to which
the operator should give the preference, provided the at-
mospheric temperature is moderate and not susceptible to
sudden variations. It is to be remembered that atsome periods
of the year,without any known or apparent cause, a tendency
appears in wounds to take on gangrenous or septicemic com-
plications, which are not so generally observed in the mild
weather of spring or early fall. Another essential condition
which surgeons will do well to consider, is the general health
of the subject, as in all cases of surgical interference any dis-
eased tendency already existing (perhaps latent) in
patient, such as an anirmic condition, a gourdy pre
tion or typhoid snsoeptibility, are likely to give re-
development of serious and perhaps fatal sequel'
operation.

Grim's Gossip.

Iaaac Murphy can now ride about 115 lbs.

, The race track at Quincy has been greatly improved and
horsemen there are load in praises of the management.

R. "W. Thomas, who trained the Santa Anita stable last
year, has a small string at West Side track, Chicago.

Charles Wood has "sold all his racing stock and it is
rnmored has serious intentions of coming to this country.
He will, of course, not be allowed to ride or race.

Pete Brandow worked his pacer Racquet two h6ats on
Tuesday, the 6rst in 2:28 and the second in 2:26, cleverly.

There will be a stallion trotting race at the Petaluma to-
day, the occasion being the opening of the new Steet car line.

It is currently reported that Direct, 2:23, will be placed in
the stud next season, and his sire, Director, 2:17, will then be
given an opportunity to lower his present record.

Jim L., 2:2(H, has already shown at Santa Rosa that he
can easily heat his record. In the early part of this week he
readily trotted a mile in 2:1S£.

Baldwin has at last scored one; his well known mare Los
Angeles beating the mighty Hanover cleverly in the mud at
Saratoga.

Last Sunday Hickok drove Mr. Lathrop's pacer a mile in
2:19, the brat half in 1:06. Hickok afterwards said he should
like to match him against any pacer at present in the State
for $5,000 a side, or more.

Mr. Thomas Rochford, of Visalia, has arrived at the Peta-
luma track with a string of trotters, the mostly admired be-
ing Free Trade by Princeps, dam Dawn by Belmont; second
dam Midnight by Pilot Jr.

Secretary Baldwin, of the Fresno Association, notifies me
that the only two entries received for the $20,000 purse were
the nominations of E J. Baldwin and R. Porter ABhe.

Tom Williams this week purchased from Palo Alto Stock
Farm a chestnut yearling tilly by Flood, dam Gl endew. She
is a full sister to Geoffrey and the celebrated Guenn.

A. T. Hatch, the well-known fruit and wine grower, has at
the Pleasaoton track a stallion called Lenmar, by Admar out
of a Gladiator mare, and judging from the glowing accounts
I have had of him he should readily obtain a record well in-
side 2:25 this year.

Dr. Lathom says that the two-year-old filly by Dexter
Prince, dam by Mambrino Wilkes, which he purchased for
Senator Hearst, will be a nailer. He is on the lookout for a
few more of that stamp.

Hankins and Corrigan nave joined hands together. Fancy
the Chicago stable and the "West Side Park in partnership.
I wonder what a man would draw to this pair, if he tried to
nil.

The pacing Btallion Brown Hal lowered the pacing stallion
record at Cleveland on Wednesday last. The former "best
time" was 2:13, but on this occasion half a second waB
knocked off, the time being 2:12£.

Keating & Lee's grey gelding Sensation has not as ye'
proven his ability to cope with the horses on the Eastern cir*
cuit. In the 2:21 class at Detroit he made a very poor show"
ing, but he is improving every day.

George Taylor will undoubtedly ride for Mr. Pierre Loril-
lardnext year. With McLaughlin to train and Taylor to ride,
the famous cherry and black ought to be ia the van pretty
often nexc season.

George McConnell of the McConnell station, has sold to
Wilber Smith of Sacramento, a three-year-old filly by Sid-
ney, dam a Chieftain mare, for $1,000.

How the owners have been figuring around within the
past week trying to place their horses to the most advantage
for the forthcoming meetings. The entries are all in now
for a majority of the circuits, and within a few days it will be
possible to determine whether judicious selections have been
made or not.

The Breeder and Sportsman will be represented at every
meeting in the State of which we have any knowledge. Our
aim will be to furnish correct accounts of every race that
takes place in California.

LaBt Tuesday Mr. Dietz and several friends visited the
Oakland track to see how Ringwood, the four-year-old son
of Sidney, was going on, and at his owner's (Mr. Dietz') re-
quest he was given a couple of slow miles, about 2:28, and
then sent right out, making the journey in 2:24.

Dan McCarty is making things hum at Fleetwood. Last
week he drove Bedford in 2:28$ and 2:25, St. David in 2:25£,
Jim Farrell in 2:27i, Kitty Wilkes in 2:28§, and wound up
by driving Hidalgo in 2:25£ and repeating in 2:17^.

We have received official information from the Secretary
of the Fresno Fair Association that the S20.000 running race
has been declared off. The Directors are very likely to offer
several good purses for thoroughbreds at the meeting, w'hich
will take the place of the two mile and repeat, although it is
a pad disappointment to many that the great race has fallen
through.

It is not often that one sees an artist like Goldsmith behind
a runner in a trial, but last Wednesday he returned Buster's
compliment and drove his runner with Mr. Valensin's Sim-
micolon. Buster in the heat, which was hotted in 2:29,
drove the middle half in 1:09.

Mr. Corbitt Bays that he has three of the get of Le Grand
that will be in the list befoie the fall of 1890.

Does any one know how fast Mr. Dietz's pacer Longworth
can go? A well posted horseman informed me this week
toat he will surely touch 2:15 before the leaves fade.

W. M. Murry, of Sacramento, Cal., has sold to David Wildo,
Kansas City, Mo., the chestnut gelding Beppo, three-year-
old by Joe Hooker, dam Bell, and the bay gelding Ecarte,
threee-year-old by Flood, dam Fanny Lewis, by Bnckden.
Price private.

Garrison, at Mr. Belmont's request, has given up riding at
the Beach, and with the exception of the coterie who are in
the swim, he won't be missed.

My genial young friend, Will G. Hay, of the Saginaw Driv-
ing Association, paid me a pleasant visit this week. Like all
others who have enjoyed this salubrious climate, he had to
return. He is just in time to attend the oircuit meetingB.

Next Monday the Rose string will arrive at Napa prepara-
tory to beginning the summer campaign. The following
comprise the outfit: Alcazar, Reverie, Dubec, Mista, Thor
and Moco, a six-year-old maiden by Pasha.

Katie S-, the black three-year-old daughter of Director and
Alpha Medium, seems to have recovered from the attack of
distemper, and though rather erratic at present, showed un-
der favorable handling ladt Tuesday better than a 30 gait and
good trotting, too.

If rumor is correct, Mr Winters has left orders with hi3
trainer to sell off all the thoroughbreds except El Rio Rey,
if any decent price can be obtained for them. He has also
left instruction that the great Norfolk — Marion colt, must not
be allowed to start on any heavy track.

The horse-loving community at Oroville have had the raca
track, near that town, placed in Bbape for trottiog, and
almost every afternoon Amos Howard", L. H. Mead, Dick De-
Lancie, Major Biggs Jr., and many others can be seen exer-
cising their speedy trotters.

The largest winners at the Chicago meeting for the first
twenty five days, were Montana Stable (Noah Armstrong)
$16,072, Theodore Winters $11,080 and the Chicago Stable
$10,185. The Maltese Villa Stable, got away with $1,815.
D. J. McCarty & Bro. $1,015, while the Hearst stable corraled
the insignificent sum of $500.

Mr. George Haugbton has left for Buenos Ayres with
Dante, Hark, BeliBaruis II, Inguuder, and several other well-
known performers on the English turf. Teddy Martin, the
well-know light weight, will go with the stflbla. As I have
bi id before, there is a ton of money for a good racehorse —
first-class, not second—in Buenos Ayres.

It has been whispered around for several weeks that Andy

IcDowell has been driving his horses so fast that all of them

vould be broken down by the time that the racing season

.ii>eued. But Andy has played cunning on the boys, and

htd stable is fit to trot for a man's life.

I had s very courteous visit several days agofiom Mr. Renok,
proprietor of the Turf, issued at Fresno, Cal. It is always
pleasant to meet those who are working for the best interests
of the turf, and it is to be hoped that Bro. Benck will keep
on at the good work.

A. Woodland paper credits Mr. Salisbury with trying to
buy Mr. Woodard's fast pacing mare Belle Button, for the
sum of $5,000, Mr. S. says he wants to see what the mare
can do on the oircuit before he makes up his mind to pur-
chase her. Belle is moving very fast, it being no trick for
her to beat 2:20.

While the trotters are attracting so much attention the
followers of the bang tail division must not forget that on
August 1st the entries for the fall and spring meetings of the
Pacific Coast Blood Horse Association will close with Secre-
tary Culver at this office. Read the advertisement and pre-
pare to make your entries.

Senator Hearst, who is enjoying life at the Hollywood,
Long Branch, says that he believes that the only good jockeys
are negroes and Irishmen. The negro, he says, is naturally a
horseman. Put him astride a horse and in riding a race he
doesn't know what fear is. The Irishman is all heart and
son I, and if he does know what fear is his enthusiasm carries
him to the front before he has had time to calculate the
chances. And bo Hearst says, "Give me an Irishman or a
nigger every time, and I don't care much which comes first."

The Board of Directors of the Calaveras and Tuolumne
Agricultural Fair Association met last Saturday in Sonora,
and decided to hold their fair in Tuolumne County. J. H.
Shine was elected Chairman; W. G. Jones, Secretary; and
W. Dozier, Treasurer. A committee of five-, viz, D. R.
Oliver, L. Honey, O. Dolling, T. C. Birney and J. A. Good-
win, were appointed to select suitable grounds, and report
on the same at the next meeting, on August 3rd, in Sonora.

Last Tuesday, at the Bay District Track, "Buster" drove
Mr. Valensin's crack Habibi, the brown yearling filly by Val-
ensin, 2-23, dam Ivy (sister to Shamrock, 2:25), grand dam
Fern Leaf, dam of Gold Leaf, 2:15, pacer, three years old,
several quarters at a nice gait; the last quarter worked by
the speedy youngster was handily covered in 38 seconds, de-
spite a break at the drawgate.

The misunderstanding existing between Mr. G. R. Buch-
anan, trainer, and Mr. D. J. McCarthy, owner, of the race-
horse Sorrento, has ended in Buchanan's turning over the
horses in the stable to their owner, says the Sportsman. Mr.
Buchanan has long contended against racing Sorrento in his
present condition, and as McCarthy declined to accept his
advice, he concluded to resign rather than be held responsi-
ble by the public at large for the the very poor showing made
by Sorrento in his recent races, he having fallen away com-
pletely from his usual form.

Some months ago Mr. Trestrail, of Victoria, Australia, came
to this State with a lot of Clydesdale horses, which he dis-
posed of at advantageouB figures. On his return he took
back six trotting stallions to sell to the Antipoiians who fancy
American stock, bnt the authorities refused to allow him to
land his consignment at Sydney because he bad not taken
with him a clean bill of health for the horses before leaving
San Francisco. The latest account says he had taken the
stock by boat on to Melbourne, hoping that an entry might
be effected there.

It would be very interesting to know how many persons
stop at D ckey's on Saturdays and Sunday s to r afresh the in-
ner man. A few days ago while resting fiom the effects of a
long ride on the road, I watched carriage after carriage
stop at the popular resort, and the Colonel had a pleasant
word for each of the new comers, as he welcomed them on
the broad platform Burrounding the house. The wines,
liquors and cigars are of the best, and it is a hard matter to
beat the breakfast, luncheons and dinners proourable at the
wayside hotel, corner of 6th avenue and D street. Horsemen
especially, all call, for the genial proprietor is a perfect ency-
clopedia of equine knowledge, and can "talk horse" by the
hour.

I desire to call attention to the advertisement of Calvin H.
Frew, Esq., in this issue. The gentleman offers two stand-
ard bred youngsters for sale, a bargain. The first is Agues
Frew, sixteen mouths old, by Woodlake, he by Woodford's
Mambrino. Woodlake's dam was Hager, she by Alexander's
Abdallah. Hager's dam was by Downing's Bay Messenger
The sire of Agnes Frew is Gay by John Bright, he by Gold-
smith's Volunteer, sire of St. Julien, 2:11^ and 27 others
in the 2:30 list. The second colt is a foal only four months
old, out of Gay; the sire is Alert by Athertou. The price at
which these colts can be bought places them within the
reach of almost every one. j

By Holly's entry in the first race at Salt Lake City fell by
the wayside, and the players of the pool-box mourn -for that
which they have not.

The sensational three-year-old colt Axtell was named after
a former principal of the schools at Independence, Ia.

Next week we will publish a Bhort account of Bell Alta,
about which there has been so many inquiries of late.

The State Fair number of the Breeder and Sportsman
will be the greatest literary treat for horsemen ever pub-
lished. It will also be elegantly illustrated, and what proofs
have already been received show that the pictures will sur-
pass anything ever before attempted.

All horse owners and trainers visiting San Francisco are
cordially invited to make our offices their headquarters.
Letters and telegrams sent in care of the Breeder and
Sportsman will be promptly delivered.

"Knap" McCarthy has receive an offer from Charlie Mc-
Cormick, of Omaha, of $10,000 for the brown stallion Rajah.
"Knap" wired McCormick in reply, stating that $12,000
would cause a change of ownership.

Dewey & Co., the publishers, nave issued a very compre-
hensive work on "California Fruits, "from the pen of Prof.
Edward J. Wickson. The book was received too late for a
review this week, but it will have due attention paid it in the
near future.

Some persons wonder why it is that such acenrate infor-
mation regarding English events appear in these columns
from time to time, but that is easily understood when the
fact is known that a cousin of the late Fred Archer is in the
employ of the Breeder and Sportsman.

Mr. Marvin, Palo Alto's celebrated Superintendent, arrived
atkthe Bay District Tracklast Wednesday with ten head of trot-
ters, viz.: Del Mar (Electioneer — Sontag Dixie), and Pedlar,
both two-year-old Electioneers; Sunol, 2:18 and Colma (Elec-
tioneer—Sontag Mohawk), three-year-olds; Palo Alto, 2:20£,
Ansel, 2:20, Express, 2:29£, Emeline, 2:27*, Arol and Lorita
by Piedmont. They all look well, Sunol being as handsome
as ever, while Palo Alto, who will go in the 2:20 class, seemed
in very good trim. The stable will go from the Bay District
to Napa.

Monroe Chief was foaled in 1870, and in 18S0 obtained a
record of 2:18£. McDowell is now working the grand old
horse at the Bay District track, and if he stands up will start
him in the free for all at the State Fair. When Mr. Salisbury
sent Monroe Chief down to San Luis Obispo for stud pur-
poses, Andy went with him and on the local track, which
then was rough and very slow, drove him a quarter in 33
seconds. The local talent were very credulous, bo the adept
driver repeated in exactly the same .time, several provincial
watches making it less.

The special match race to-day between Frank Burke's
Wanda and G. Valensin's Slmmocolon Bhould be a great at-
traction, as the horses are very evenly matched. The Menlo
Park folks feel confident of winning, and the backers of the
Pleasanton stable think that the new importation cannot
lose. If Simmocolon makes a heat inside of 2:30 W. H.
Wilson, of Cynthiana, Ky., will present Mr. ValenBin with a
handsome new sulky; whereas, if Wanda wins, Mr. Burke
will be presented with an elegant gold watch by the owner
of the dam of Wanda. It will ba a great race.

LaBt Wednesday Mr. Corbitt and Johnny Goldsmith ap-
peared at the Bay District track. When the track had dried
a little Johnny handled the ribbons behind Sol Wilkes in a
couple of trial heats. In the first heat BuBter drove a run-
ner with him. The quarter was passed in 37J, the half in
:14£, and the full mile in 2:2§£. In the second Andy Mc-
Dowell took the pole with Hazel Kirke, 2:30, Wilkes next
and the rnnner outside. The quarter was made in 39, the
half in 1:16, the three-quarters in 1:52, and the full mile in
2:30£. Had the gelding shown a better gait, Mr. Corbitt
would have bought him, but as it is, he will probably stay
with Brandow.

Wonders will never cease. Record after record is lowered
and the end is yet afar off. Truly this promises to be a year
of surprises, and already there have been several. The won-
derful Axtell at Cleveland on Thursday last trotted against
time for a purse of $2,500 and won it handily, making the
oircuit in theunprecedented time of 2:14£, for a three-year-old.
There is a strong probability from this, that before long, Maxey
Cobb, with his 2:13J will be one of the "has beens." On the
same day and at the same meeting, Guy was sent to beat his
record of 2:12, and readily negotiated the distance in 2:10},
the time of quarters being :32£, 1:05£, 1:38}, and 2:10£. Jack.
the largest money winner of last year, also reduced his time
from 2:19£ to 2:15£.

As Knap McCarthy's horses were about to be shipped from
S\ Paul an attachment was placed on Sir Archy, and he was
left behind. It was a contemptible trick on the part of Mr.
Thurston, as the horse has been there for two weeks, and
the attachment could have been served without waiting un-
til the last minute. As near as can be learned, the faots are
about as follows: Two years ago Mr. Thurston placed the
horse in the hands of John Doud, and authorized him to
sell him for a stated price. Doud sold him, and Thurston
got the purohase money. The horse was then considered
no good. Mr. Thurston attached him at Detroit last season,
and McCarthy uave a bond, with D. J. Cauipau as surety.
When the ease was callet in the courts at Detroit, Mr.
Thurston failed to appear, and the case was thrown out. It
looks as if Thurston was trying to annoy the owners of the
horse. McCarthy says if there is any 1 iw in this country he
will make Thurston pay dearly for his funny business.

Valensin Stock Farm.

It was a source of much disappointment some weeks ago
thBt I was unable to pay a long promised visit to Pleasanton,
sb the stories I had heard of the stock farms in that favored
region were more on the order of the stories told in the Ara-
bian Nights than that appertaining to the prosy news heard
usually from the ordinary breeding establishments. Year-
lings that could beat "thirty," two-year-olds that were pro-
spective record breakers, a three-year-old that may in all
probability win the Spirit stake of 18S9, and four-year-olds
that oould beat Manzanita's record— all this and much more
has been wafted on the winds from the luxurious valley in
which iB situated the Pleasanton stock farm and also the Val-
ensin stock farm. My able assistant gave such glowing ac-
oountB of the location, grasses, climate, water, etc., on re-
turning from Mr. Salisbury's that I was tempted to accept a
long standing invitation from Mr. G. Valensin, and parlake
of his hospitality for a few days, and, at the same time, ex-
amine his stallions and brood-mares, the offspring of which
have made his name famous from the Atlautic to the Pacific.
For many years the Valensin breeding faim was in Sacra-
mento County, the present place being of lesB than two years'
growth. In that short time a large hay field has been trans-
posed from the ordinary home of the farmer into a perfect
paradise, if a great horse haven may be so termed. The hun-
dred and seventy acres are divided into ten fair-sized pad-
dooks, with one large receptacle for hay plaoed between each
two fields, the benefit of this being thai where there are ten
or a dozen mares in each enolosure there is liable to be much
less trouble between the high-bred madams when the grass
is short and they have to feed from the large rioks.

During the service season the matrons are divided around
the different fields, each in turn being taken to the oovering
corral. When one of them refuses she is placed in a field
close at hand, from where can be seen the other mareB as
they are brought in to pay their respeots to the kings of the
harem. In this way it is a very easy matter to tell when
service is required by those who have already refused; on
the contrary, when service haa been accepted the mares are
sent to the more remote paddocks until their turn once more
arrives.

The place has been well fenced, excellent stables erected,
with all the modern improvements, and additions are being
constantly made. It is the intention of the proprietor to
make thiB farm seoond to none in the country, and from the
present appearance it will not take long to occupy that ex-
alted position. There are many of the breeders throughout
the United States who follow closely on certain blood lines,
and feel it a sacrilege to deviate from the one beaten path,
but it will be seen from an examination of the pedigrees of
the mares at the Valensin Stook Farm that all the choice
lines of the country are to be found here. On his return
from the California combination sale in New York last spring
Mr. Valensin paid a visit to Kentucky and procured quite a
number of very fashionable fillies, bringing in new blood to
mix with that of the great Sidney. The motto of the farm is,
"We breed what the public want," the study being to please
the prospective purchasers. It is a reoognized fact that Liv-
ermore Valley hay is preferable to almost any raised in the
State, and as the farm is not large enough to grow what is
required, the entire acerage is kept for pasture, while hay is
procured from the surrounding country.

The residential quarters are situated in a small grove of

trees, the pathways, of which there are many, being lined

with exquisite flowerbeds, which lend a charm and perfume

to the surroundings that cannot be surpassed anywhere. I

have often heard my host Bpoken of aB a good entertainer,

but no idea can be had of his hospitality until one has

| stretohed legs under his mahogany. From a gastronomical

point of view, commend me to the viands prepared for the

I ?uest at the Valensin Stock Farm, for there is always at hand

jome palatable dainty to tempt the moat pronounced epi-

:ure. But there, we did not pay this visit to discuss savory

lishes, but rather to let the world know what will appear in

!ull in the forthcoming catalogue of this now celebrated

I breeding establishment.

I Before starting on the mares, however, it will not be out
I if place to state that there is alao a finely finished, three
liuarter mile track, where the young ones receive their initial
Ivork, and where the elders are put through the preparatory
I ;tafc6B prior to a campaign. The turns are thrown up ac-
| :ording to the very lateBt methods and from the most ap-
| )roved plans, in addition to which, the ground is of such a
liharacter, that it is extremely doubtful if there be a track of
I ts Bize to be found in the entire country that can beat it for
f peed.

I: It may be surmised that attention was first paid to Sidney,

| "f whom bo much has been said and written. It seems al-

| uost superfluous to say that he is by Santa Clans 2:17£ dam

lilweetness 2:21J, by Volunteer 55. Although Sidney has de-

| aonstrated his ability to pace fast, there are but very few

I ires who can show better trotting lineage, he being inbred

| hree times to Hambletonian 10, through Volunteer, Strath-

faore and Edward Everett; once to Mambnno Chief 11,

I trough Ericsson, and we also find the Harry Clay 45, cross,

[ hrough the grandam of SweetnesB. As a transmitter of

I peed he has not an equal at his age, being only eight years

fid. Notwithstanding his extreme yonth, already there

I tand to his credit Adonis, 2:14}, Gold Leaf, 2:15, Memo

:rial), 2:20}, Sister V., who was sold last week for $8,000 on

bowing a" 2:23 trial; St. Nicholas, three-year old trial after

J 'ud season 2:27£; Ringwuod, who is reeling off miles almost

Lvery day at the Oakland track in 2:25 and better; Long-

[''Orth is also touching the 6ame notch in exercise, and there

re any quantity of yonngsters that can show extraordinary

'ork at both the trot and pace, two of the yearlings being

ipeoially worthy of mention, one owned by Mr. Valensin

j ad the other by the Waters Stook Farm of Genoa Junction,

■ris. It is confidently asserted that either of them oan beat

Lorlaine'd record, and I have it on the authority of Mr.

avey Ithat the one he is driving, (property of Waters

I .bock Farm) can most positively lower 2:31^, bar accident.

leet, who secured a yearling record of 2:36, is another of

ie promising ones, and although not acting kindly in her

j ork at present, still it is presumed that before the end of

ie season she will be ready to show the wonderful speed for

b'cli she is noted.

Valensin, 2:23, by Crown Point, 2:24, dam Nellie Lambert,
j John Nelson 187, iB another of the noted stallions domi-
t led at the farm, whose performances are well known to all
aders of the Breeder and Sportsman. Owing to the accu-
, ulation of stock, this consistent performer will in all proba-
' lity be taken to the New York salesroom in the spring of

1890, when the usual yearly sale occurs. Shamrock, 2:25.
by Buccaneer, 2656, dam Fern Leaf, was at the Bay District
track, where he is undergoing preparation to try and reduce
his record, so consequently was not seen.

While in the East lately Mr. ValenBin purchased the four-
year-old Simmocolon by Simmons, 2.-2S, dam CoIod, by
Strathmore, 2nd dam Coral by Clark Chief 89, 3rd dam Cassia
by CaBsius M. Clay, Jr., 22. This well bred prince of royal
blood has been transported to his new home, and shown
such speed that he has also been sent to the Bay District
track, where [ho will meet Wanda, a daughter of Eros, in a
special match race today. He spins off miles at a 2:25 clip,
which proves that he will prove a powerful factor in future,
in the destinies of the Valensin Stock Farm.

Of the brood mares there are 49 all told, four of which are
farmed. The following is a full list of the dainty damsels that
grace this celebrated place: —

Maud R , ch m, foaled 1875, by Whipple's Hambletonian,
dam by Geo. M. Patchen Jr. She has no foal this year, but
has been bred to Simmocolon.

Lightfoot, b m, foaled 1870, by Flaxtail, dam Fanny Fern,
by Irwin's Tuckahoe. She has a foal by Sidney, a big, tine,
sturdy fellow, and has been bred to Simmocolon. Fanny
Fern is the dam of Pride, yearling;record 2:42£; two-year-old
record 2:33. She is also the dam of Pearl, 2:30|. Lightfoot
is a full sister to Fernleaf.

Cassneer, b m, foaled 1884, by Buccaneer, dam Mies CasB-
nrly, by Eugene Casserly. She has a nice filly foal by Sid-
ney, and has been bred back.

Fernleaf, b m, foaled 1873, by Flaxtail, dam Fanny Fern,
is a great producer, being the dam of Gold Leaf, 2:15 (third
heat); Shamrock, three-year-old record 2:25; Ivy, three-year-
old record 2:31J; Thiatle, at two years old, half mile, 1:11;
Rose Leaf, two-year-old, trial, 2:.-5. She has at her side a
magnificent bay horse colt by Sidney, a well put up young-
ster that should bring a large price from those who want foals
from producing sires and dams.

Towhead, ch m foaled 1887, by Echo, dam s. t. b. thor-
oughbred. This mare is the dam of St. Nicholas, trial 2:27.
She has lost her foal this year, and has been bred to Sidney.
Argona, b m foaled 1883, is by Algona, dam by Kentucky
Prince, second dam by Goldsmith's Volunteer. She had no
foal this year, but has been bred to Simmocolon.

Ivy, is a dark brown mare, foaled '82, by Buccaneer, dam
Ferntail, by Flaxtail. She is the dam of a very fast yearling,
who within a few weekB has shown a half mile in 1:18. Ivy
has a foal by Sidney, and this year was bred to Simmocolon.
Santa Rita, brown filly, foaled 1886, by Sidney, dam Buc-
caneer, 2nd dam by Gen. McClellan. She was bred this
year for the first time, to the cover of Simmocolon.

Sybil, br f, foaled 1886, by Sidney, dam Maud K. by
Whipple's Hambletonian. As a two-year-old, she was given
a quarter io 36 seconds. She has also been bred to Simmo-
colon. '

Sultana, is a grey mare, foaled 1880, by Del Sur, dam
Madame Ferguson by Stormy John. Madame Ferguson is
the dam of Sir Guy 2:28}. The foal of thiB year lived but a
Bhort time, and she was bred to Simmocolon.

Jenny O. Jones, b m, foaled 1880, by Hubbard, dam s t b
by General Taylor. Jenny has a likely looking foal at foot
by Sidney, and was bred back this season.

Lurline, ch m foaled 1881, by Bell Alta, dam by Langford,
2ud dam by Belmont. As a three-year-old Lurline made
2;44 in a trial. She has been bred to Simmocolon.

Clara C. b m by Don Victor, dam by a Bon of Belmont, has
a record of 2;38J. She had no foal this year, but has been
bred to Sidney.

Variation is a ch f, foaled 1887, by Allandorf, dam Variety
by Orange Blossom. 2nd dam by Middletown, he by Ham-
bletonian 10. This is a remarkably fine looking filly, and is
one of the lot purchased from Dr. Herr, of Lexington. She '
has been bred to Sidney.

Alios C. b f, foaled 1887, by Wilkes Boy 2:24£, dam Prim-
rose, by Mambrino King, 2nd dam Dolly Varden, by Con-
sternation. Alice C. has also been bred to Sidney.

The next on the list is an unnamed filly by Bed Wilkes
1749, dam by Mambrino Time, 2nd dam by Green Mountain
Morgan, 3rd dam by Cripple's Hambletonian. This hand-
some young filly has been bred to Sidney.

Florence Wilkes, b f, foaled 1886, by Red Wilkes, dam by
Curtis' Hambletonian, 2nd dam by Pilot, Jr. She has also
received the embraces of Sidney.

Mattie Strathmore, ch m, foaled 18S2, by Strathmore, dam
by Alexander's Norman, 2nd dam by Mambrino Chief. This
is a particularly good-looking mare, and if appearances are
not deceptive thiB will be a great brood-mare. She has been
bred to Sidney.

Ellen Tomlinson, br m, foaled 1885, by Dictator, dam by
Mambrino Patchen, 2nd dam by Mount Sovereign, 3rd dam
by Mark Time, 4th dam by Hunt's Commodore. This mare
was sent to Sidney.

Mary, b m, foaled 1884, by Buccaneer, dam lowhead by
Echo. The yearling filly out of Mary was sold at the last
New York sale for $ 3,000. She has been bred to Sidney.

Venue, ch m, foaled 1875, by Capt. AVebster, dam by Shen-
endoah 926. As the dam of Adonis, Venus naturally has
somewhat of a reputation, and she well deserves it, for there
are but few dams that can show a three-year-old with a re-
cord of 2:14J. She had no foal this spring, but has been
bred to Sidney.

Faustina, br m, foaled 1884, by Crown Point, 2:24, dam
Dell Foster, by A. W. Richmond; 2nd dam by Geo. M.
Patohen Jr. Faustina is the dam of the fast yearling by
Sidney, owned by the Waters Stook Farm, of Genoa Junc-
tion, Wis. She was bred this year to Sidney.

Miss Roy, blk m. foaled 1884, by Buccaneer, dam, the dam
of Allan Roy. She has been bred to Sidney.

Madge, br m, foaled 1884, by Princeton, dam Lightfoot-
She also has been bred to the premier stallion.

Maud V. is a brown mare, foaled 1SS1, by Bucoaneer,
dam Maud R. by Whipple's Hambletonian. This elegant
matron has a foal by Sidney and was bred back.

Nettie Lambert, a chestnut mare is one of the producers
who has established a name for herself. Foaled in 1873, by
John Nelson, dam by Fisherman, she has given birth to
Valensin 2:23, and also to Sister V., the $8,000 mare who
has no record. Nettie has been mated to Sidney.

Highland Lass, blk m, foaled 1884, is by Bucoaneer, dam
by Arthurton. She has a fine foal by Sidney and was bred
the same way this year. The yearling of Highland Lass is
a pretty fast one, for she not only begets speed, but when
scarcely twelve months old herself, trotted a quarter in 41
seconds.

Flight, dark brown mare, foaled 1879, record 2:29, by
Buccaneer, dam Prairie Bird by Flaxtail. She has a mag-
nificent foal by Sidney and was bred to him again. Flight
is the dam of Fleet, yearling record 2:35; Matilda V., trial
2:35. and of Linda, that was recently sold in Chicago by D.
J. McCarty for $5,000.

Flirt iB the next on the list to claim attention, ai Bhe is
also a producer. She is by Buccaneer, dam Nahaske Belle

(dam of Fawn, 2:301) by Flaxtail. Flirt is the dam of Memo,
trial as a three-year-old 2:20}; George V., who showed a trial
at two years old of 2:33, and Muscadine, a speedy yearling,
capable of putting in quarters in 40 seconds.

Miss Casserly, ch m, by Eugene Casserly. dam by Whip-
ple's Hainbletoniau, has the merit of giving great individu-
ality to her foals, so much so, that;Robert Bonner gave $3,000
for one of them lately at auction, and remarked after she had
been knooked down to him, that he was extremely fortunate
in getting her for such a price, as he would willingly have
gone to $10,000 for such a filly. Miss Casserly at present has
a foal by Sidney and was bred again to him.

Young Highland Mary is a dark brown, by Arthurton, dam
by David Hill. This is the dam of Sidney Smith, the prop-
erty of Mr. Shultz, of Parkville, who reports the youngster
very fast. Mary has been bred to Sidney.

Rose Leaf, b m, foaled 1883, by Buccaneer, dam Fernleaf,
has one of the best filly foals of the year at her side, by
Sidney. The little maiden is a perfect beauty, and if she
carries out her present promise, will be one of the best ever
raised by Mr. Valensin. She has been bred back.

Juno, b m, foaled 1884, by Buccaneer, dam Venus (the '
dam of Adonis). The wonderful pacing blood of the old mare
is plainly seen in a foal which Juno has at foot. The young-
ster has plenty of bone and muscle and is of such propor-
tions that it will take a lot of work to break him down. As
Sidney was the sire of this little marvel, Juno was bred baok.
Dell Foster, br m foaled 1S76, by A. W. Richmond, dam
by Geo. M. Patchen Jr. Dell has a foal by her side by Sid-
ney, and was bred again to him this year.

Crown Point Maid, b m foaled 1882, by Crown Point, dam
by Overland; 2d dam by Geo. M. Patchen Jr. She also has
a foal by Sidney,

Surprise, br m, foaled 1882. by Abbottsford, dam by young
Kentucky Hunter has a nice horse colt at her side by Sidney
and again received his embrace this spring.

Dagmar is a chestnut mare, foaled 1875, by Whipple's
Hambletonian, dam the Ralston Mare, has been bred to
Sidney.

Belle Grand, ch f, foaled 1887, by Le Grand, dam by
Arthurton, has shown a half mile in 1:16 and gone the full
course in 2:38. She also has been bred to Sidney.

Hometta, ch m, foaled 1882. is by Abderdeen, dam Ken-
tucky Central, (who as a four-year-old got a record of 2:31).
This is a well put up brood mare, and should make her mark
as a producer of speed. She was sent this year to the cover
of Sidney.

Maye, b m foaled 1882, by Newland's Hambletonian, her
dam being a full sister to Bell Alta. Her foal of this year
died, but she was sent again to Sidney.

Beauty, 2:32J, blk m by Ethan Allen Jr., has been bred to
the premier stud.

Gitania, b m, foaled 18S3, by Crown Point, dam by Crigh-
ton. This mare is the dam of a colt Bold to Mr. Van Gordon
whioh iB claimed to be very fast. She is in foal to Sidney.
Lady Hannah, ch m foaled 18S2, by Arthurton, dam by
Langford. Lady Hannah is the dam of a two-year-old.
owned by Andy McDoweil, that can show a quarter in 35
leoonds. She is in foal to Sidney.

Oak Grove Belle, oh m, foaled 1878, is by Arthurton, dam
Henrietta (trial 2:21) by Bell Alta, 2nd dam by Peacock. She
has a good foal by Sidney, and iB again in foal to him.

Belle Patterson is a rather ancient matron, but still looks
well. She is by Belmont, dam by Hiatoga. Belle is the dam
of Vengeance (2:31J to cart), and also of Pauline, 2:34, and
Dom Pedro, 2:36.

The mares farmed this year are Patti by Nutwood, Centen-
nial Belle by Woodburn, a Mambrino Wilkes mare and a good
looking daughter of the Grand Moor.

After the inspection of the mares a visit was paid to the
Pleasaoton stock farm, owned by Mr. Salisbury. At tire re-
quest of Mr. Valensin, many of the horses were brought out,
the stallion Director drawing favorable comment from all
present. As all the campaign horses had been removed to
the Bay District Track, we lost the chance of seeing them,
but were amply repaid for the ride with what was shown us.
An early morning start from the Valensin farm enables us to
catch the 7 o'clock train at Pleasanton, and at 9 we are once
more at the office, ready for a week's business and much
benefited by the Pleasanton trip.

Sam Gamble on the Standard.

San Francisco, July 28, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Once more I ask for a
little space in your valuable paper, as I have read and heard
the different ideas upon the present standard-bred animals.
Now I would liketo give my opinion of the standard, of its good
and bad qualities. I would say that the standard is here to
stay. It makes little differerence whether it meets or pleases
the views of individual breeders rr not; it is necessary to have
some line of demarcation between stock that is trotting bred,
and stock that is not, and of course, every breeder of any
experience knows the advantage of breeding in the standard.
There are a great many farmers and young breeders, that
are engaged in the business, that do not fully under-
stand the matter, and it is for their benefit I now write. A
stallion or mare that is standard-bred is worth at least double
and in many instances three times as much as a stallion or
mare equally as well bred in other respects, but not Btand-
ard-bred. In many parts of the country you cannot sell a
stallion for breeding purposes at all unless he is standard-
bred. If therefore you are breeding for the market it is
evident that you must breed the goods that will meet the
demands that the buyers want when they go to the market.
By breeding to a horse not within the standard, you breed
something which the buyers do not want, instead of breeding
what they do want This is not precisely the way to make
money when you breed to a nou-standard atallion, no matter
how good you may regard his pedigree. You do not advance
one step toward improvement for the benefit of the farmer
or the young breeder. When a stallion colt is foaled, there
is no more improvement in his breeding, but you can take a
mare, a thoroughbred, and improve and breed her up to the
standard. Let me illustrate this for a moment. Say you
have a|marehyBelmontJ( Williamson's) Rifleman (a son of imp.
Glenco) or Norfolk, Joe Daniels. Hubbard, Vandel, Bonny
Sootland, Grey Eagle, American Eclipse, and other thorough-
bred blooi; thatis a good foundation, and mixes well with the
trotting family.

Breed her to a Btallion like Sidney, Memo, Steinway, Elec-
tioneer, Mountain Boy, and co-breed the filly produce of this
to a standard horse; the issue, if a female, is a standard
mare; if a male, it is, of course, only tit for a gelding. The
filly thus produced, if bred to auother standard horse, wi
produce a standard horse. Now say that the above geldin
trots in 2:23|, and the next horse or filly the dam has is
standard, the Bame case, Bhould the thoroughbr mare bebi- .,
to Electioneer, Memo or Sidney, and her produce gain a rs

oord of 2:29jf, the produce, male or female, will then be
standard on merit. In breeding to non-standard horses you
are at rest, remaining stationary, while the world is moving
on, and you get left, anS you will see in time you are mov-
ing backwards; in breeding to a standard horse out of a pro-
ducing dam or grandam, yoa are keepiDg up with the times,
and you will be a member of the royal families. Now you
see a stallion bred, say like this, James, record 2:22, by Red
Wilkes, 1st dam by Robert McGregor; 2nd dam by Happy
Medium. Now thiB is a standard bred horse, and some
would say, "I will breed my mare to him." Now, for me, I
would Booner breed my mare to a horse that is bred the same
way, if he could show me a good 2:40 gait, good shonlders
and stifle action. If his dam or grandam is a producer of
uniform speed, thi3 horse will piodnce more of speed than
the former horse with his record of 2:22 and breeding, and
his dam or grandam never produced but himself with speed.
1 would put a brood mare trotter to James, record of
2;22, but I would not buy or breed to a stallion (fall brother
to James) unless James* brother showed that he himself was
a trotter of merit. Iremember when Palo Alto came out in
•his two-year-old form and trotted a trial in 2:23. I have
heard horsemen say, "that is the horse to breed to," and
asked me how I would like to breed to him. "Not until he
goes on a little farther and shows me that he comes up to the
standard, and his dam proves a uniform producer of ipeed."
Some of the horsemen would say, "You are prejudiced," and
want to put the hard gloves on with me, just because I did
not think as they did. Now, I would breed to him. "Why?"
Because his dam has produced two others that have been
out and performed the great act by trotting in 2:23 and 2:29$,
and ha now represents two grand brood mareB in his veins.

Now take Ansel, record 2:20, by Electioneer. He is stan-
dard, and I like his breeding, his dam being by Lexington.
Now I would rather pay $300 for his services if his dam had
produced one or two others that have beat 2:30, than pay $100
for his services at the present time; and if he had all this he
would have been Bold last winter, if his dam had produced
other speed beside himself. Oh, how I would like a mare,
sister to him for a brood mare. She would be standard and
bred to a standard horse. The produce would be standard,
and the kind that would do for a poor man to take to market.
{The same with Axtell, three-year-old record 2:15*). I have
been asked how much Axtell was worth. My answer wis
$30,000 if sound, and ©75,000 if his dam or grandam was a
producer of another with a record of 2:20 or better. I don't
want breeding, or record alone, for a stock horse. Out
of a producing dam or grandam is the kind I want, and then
the record will not hurt. You will hear some say when they
see a mare trot in 2:25 or so, or a mare that has been trotting
for years, "Oh, how I would like her for a brood mare."
She is not up to the standard, only bred on one Bide, and a
record of 2:15 or 2:16. Now let this mare or these two mares
be out of a mare that has produced other ones with recordB
then the chances are good to get something that you o in
buy when you go to the market. But sometimes in
a persons life you will see some of the old speedy turf
mares produce speed, but it is very rare, however the nest
generation may do better. If we would do as some
say, that is, not breed to anything without record, we
would not have a Dexter, Goldsmith Maid, St. Julien, Guy,
Maud S., Jay-Eye-See, Sunol, Axtell, but all these are stan-
dard bred and from speed producing families that breed and
train on. Now, dear reader, you must not look back over
the poor opportunity that I have had and ask, as you will be
asked, "What has the writer ever done towara producing
the speedy animal?" I have done little towards doing good,
and my time has yet to come, and time tells. Although my
results may continue to be moderate, you must not do
as I have done, or perhapB may be compelled to do, bnt do
as I say. This will be the best way for you to judge, the
best way for your own, and for the interests of this great State.
Adding all the time to the value of your stock and vastly
increasing the possibilities of its value if you are breeding
for the market or otherwise. You will not be deceived into
breeding to the non-standard stallion by a showy appearance
or good gait, or both combined. If the stud groom or owner
tells yon that his horse will trot next year better than 2:30,
or that he will have a colt that will beat 2:30 next year, and
that the horse will be standard next year, just tell him that
you will wait until this happens, before you breed to him,
for it may never occur, his horse may break a leg before he
or his colts beat 2:30; while on the other hand he may
not have the speed capacity to trot in 2:30, nor yet the
colts that he expects to beat 2:30 with. You are taking
chances enough by breeding to a horse that is standard and
out of producing dams and with records, without breeding to
a stallion without either record, standard, or out of produc-
ing dams. But when the non-standard horse beats 2:30, or
his dams, or he himself has produced two trotters with
records ot 2:30 or better, then it will be safe to breed to him,
and unless he comes up to the standard it is safer to let him
alone, and breed to a horse that is standard, and breeds into
flTiRed producing lines, for you will find it impossible to get
syrap out of vinegar. Yours

Samuel Gamble.

Choice Dogs Imported-

C. E. Page of this city received a pair of Irish fox-hounds
yesterday, says the Stockton Independent of Wednesday last.
They came direct from Cardiff, Wales, on a sailing vessel.
They were sent by General W. H. Kirby, of the British army,
to his nephew, Martin Kirby, of Mariposa county. The dogs
are very ordinary looking, about medium size, with clean cut
heads, (sleek hair, white with black and tan patches. The
male dog is a very friendly animal, but his mate is unfriendly
to strangers. Though they are light of buil d they are very
tenacious and pugnacious in disposition, and are said to be
more than matches for coyotes. Mr. Kirby is engaged in
raising Angora goats, which are greatly ravaged by wolveB,
and he will soon as possible raise a pack of terriers to kill the
animals. His place is about 100 milos from Stockton, and
Mr. Page will take the dogs to him on his next trip. A fine
Scotch terrier which was sent to Mr. Page, failed to arrive,
having been confiscated, probably by some of the ship's crew
on the voyage.

[The Independent probably intended to say fox-terriers,
not fox-hounds. One would think terriers rather small to
cope with coyotes.— Ken. Ed.]

Mr. F. B. Norton, of this city, recently received from
Rockton, Wis,, a five year old pointer bitch, of which he
will send a full description next week.

Mr. Do Mott writes that five of the Harold — Miss Druid
litter of English setters, whelping of which is noted in the
kennel news, have died, leaving five fine dog pupB of the
litter alive, all of whioh are in good condition.

Several inquiries for good collies have come to this office
recently from this city and two from Los Angeles. Those
having such animals might well advise us in relation to them.

Mr. Robert Bruce, of the firm of Balfour, Guthrie & Co.,
city, recently imported from England, via the clipper ship
Langdale, Capt. J. McAllister, a very fine skye terrier bitch
oorrect in size, color and coat.

Mr. J. M. BasBford Jr., writes: "Lets camp out at the next
field trial, it beats all hotels." We hope others will indicate
their preferences as to the meeting,

The California Kennels are well stocked at present with
young English setters, their brood bitches, Janet, Enid, Sunlit,
Miss Druid and Sweetheart having presented thirty-eight
youngsters during May, June and July, twenty-four being
dogs. In breeding none can be better, and if possible we
would own one of the Loadstone-Sweetheart litter, and think
it cheap at a hundred dollars.

The parents of Mr. Henry Wormington, whose departure
for England is noted, elsewhere, have lived in Worcester
the father for more than eighty-five years and the mother
for about as long. Mr. Wormington, Sr., has always been a
devoted sportsman, and in his seventy-eighth year was
good for five out ot six partridges on the wing. A farmer
and living upon the farm cultivated by his father the old
man is a type of the hale hearty class of men which best
represents England.

Judge C. N. Post writes from Sacramento that he finds in-
expressible relief in having most of his English setters away
from home at Mr. De Motts kennels. The dogs are better in
health and there is less likelihood of fatality among them
because they have ample room for exercise, as well as a more'
suitable climate for the puppies than that of Sacramento.

Mr. Will Kittle recently presented to Mr. Will Golcher, a
handsome Cocker spaniel puppy out of old Gift, that embod-
ies about as much beauty and sense as can be imagined If
the dogs lives another good pointer man will likely drift in

Mr. Henry Wormington of this city, a notable greyhound

fancier and coursing man, leaves on Thursday next, together

wuh his younger daughter, Miss Alice, for a few months

visit to Worcestershire, Eng, that city being his objective

point. Mr. Wormington has resided in California for seven

years, and in that time haa drawn around him a large circle

That sterling old pointer Beautifnl Queen, owned by Joe
Bassford, was recently bred to Mr. Wra. Schreiber's Mountain
Boy, and about July 18th whelped three bitch puppies Mr
Bassford was away at the time and on returning missed Queen
and on looking for her she was found hidden in the brash
near the house with her pups, two of which were dead The
loss of the puppies is to be regretted. The breeding of Qomb
to Mountain Boy was done in the hope of getting superior
hunting dogs. Neither Queen nor Mountain Boy are "ideal
bench show animals but both have good noses, lots of bird
sense and plenty of quality. It U to be hoped that the
breeding will be repeated, *

Mr. D. A. Leonard, through whose endeavors the field j
tnalers at Bakersfield are furnished with horses and wagons
each year, called at this office on Tuesday last, foil of inter- I
eBtingstories about the recent fire there. Mr. Leonard states
that the new Arlington Hotel will be ready for guests by
December 1st, and there will be no lack of accommodations
for the sportsmen in January. Mr. Leonard was fortunate
in losing nothing by the fire, although it began just aoroas
a street from his residence. Ed. Lechner sent word by
Leonard that he was still on deck and ready for all comers.
The Knights of the Trigger will soon be rehabilitated and
within a year things will have resumed their prosperous
tenor, r

Several exhibitors at the last bench show of the Pacific
Kennel Club have wiitten to ascertain when the accounts of
the show will be adjusted and prizes paid. If any prizeB are
unpaid, it must be because the winners were overlooked. As
we understand it, the club office was kept open for a week or
more to enable winners to call and receive their winnings.
The monthly meeting of the club occurs next week, and at
that time all matters relative to the show will be canvassed.
If those who have not yet had their winnings will write*
immediately to the Secretary, Jas. E. WatBon, Box 1S38 San
Francisco, it will facilitate business.

An opportunity was afforded the other day to see the
pointer bitch Wanda, owned by Mr. G. H. T. Jackson of this
city, and which won third in light weight bitches at the P.
K. C. show in M«y. Wanda has very much improved in
coat and brightness of color since the show, and is a very
fine-looking pointer. She sbowB particularly good quality,!
is of a broody stamp, and should produce first-raters if
crossed with a rather rangy and biggish dog. Even her b'eadJ
seems much finer since the bitch has been improved in con-
dition and coat. She needs a lot of exercise to keep hen
right, and should be ran in the next all-aged stake of the
Paoific Coast Field Trial Club.

A prominent sportsman of Saginaw City, Mr. W. G.
Hay, who was in San Francisco in April last, returned forB
few days during the week. He reports his dogs to be in good
condition, and will run two youngsters in the Paoific Coast
Field trials Derby of January, '91. If more Eastern sports-
men could know the sport in store for them if they could at-
tend our field trials there would certainly be a good repre
sentation of them each year. January shooting east of thi
Mississippi is rather raw work. Here it is done under mosl
delightful conditions of temperature and weather. Mr. Ha]
met Mr. Harvey McMurchy in Syracuse, N. Y., a few weeki
ago, and was shown through the gun factory of Mr. L. C
Smith. He desoribes the plant as a very extensive and per
fectly appointed one, and is quite enthusiastic about the Hn> i
of finished guns 6hown him. Mr. McMurchy was the sam-
genial, courteous man at home that he is ahvayB found to b |
when on bis busjneBS trips,

Mr. Eugene J. Boy (San Francisco) claims the name Shann
Bhue for an Irkh Bed setter dog. whelped May 18, 1SS9, by
Nat Glencho (Glencho-Maid) — Bed Fanny (Smutt-Magg).
Bred bv J. C. Nattrass, Seattle.

On Wednesday morning last, at 6 o'clock a. m., a police
officer of Sergeant Flander's watch in the "Western Addition,
called at the house of Mr. William Scbreiber, with the state-
ment that a dog answering the description of the lost pointer
Nestor had been seen in the sand hills toward Black Point.
Mr. Schreiber immediately dressed and set ont in search of
the animal, and the story as he tells it is decidedly interest-
ing. Blocks after blocks of nnimproved land, covered with
poiBon oak and lnpin were traversed, and a good many dogs
evidently strays, discovered, but only after several hours of
hard climbing about among the sand dumes did Mr. Scbrieber
lay eyes upon Nestor. The dog had made a lair in a sheltered
spot and his condition indicated access to food from some
source. He was very shy and was caught with difficulty.
Examination after be was caught showed that one of the toes
of a forefoot had been broken. Mr. Schreiber was pleased,
as well he might be, at regaining his grand little pointer. A
finer, more level mover we do not remember to have seen,
and at the last field trials Joe Bassford expressed the belief
that Nestor was the best moving pointer be had ever seen.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphippns.

The new training grounds of the California Amateur Ath-
letic Club at Harbor View are about finished, and the work
at the Olympic Club's new grounds is progressing raindly,
so that in a very short space of time the oat-door athletes
will have no cause to grumble about the want of some
place to train. Below, under their respective headings, will
be found the doings of the athletes, wheelmen, swimmers,
etc.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS. ETC.

The swimming lace on Jaly 26th, for a purse of $250, at
Crescent Beach near Boston, between John A.Leavittand
Thomas McCloBky, was won by Leavitt. Time, 13 minutes
and 10 seconds.

On the same day at Boston at the Irish National games, J.
Fitzpatrick broke the world's record in a running high jump,
clearing 6 feet 4;: inches.

At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Amateur
Athletic Union held at New York on July 26th, a committee
of three waB appointed to confer with the National Associa-
tion in regard to amalgamating that Association with the
Athletic Union. W. C. Dobm'a half-mile record of 1:55J,
and the ten-second record for 100 yards made by L, Carey
and V. E. Schifferstein were accepted.

Mc Arthur, Hill and Cooley will start from scratch in the
mile run on September 9th, and as the three men are so
evenly matched it would be exceedingly hard to conjecture
which one of the trio will come in first.

It is expected that there will be a large field of competitors
in the walk, and Jarvis will need to train hard to capture
first place, as, doubtless, owing to his good performance at
the late champion, games, he will be heavily handicapped.

Peter W. McGlade will probably represent the U. A. C. in
some of the short distance races.

The out-door members of the C. A. A. C. think that a
trainer should be present daily at the Harbor View grounds
to rub them down after exercising, and to give them pointers
as to how they should train.

Whelau is one of the most promising runners in the C. A.
A. C, and should give a good account of himself at the in-
itial games of the club

A. NV. Foster of the same club is keeping himself in good
trim, and it would not surprise us to hear of his breaking
the hurdle record at the championship games of the C. A. A.
C.

Rumor has it that the U. A. C. will produce another
"dark horse" on Admission Bay Judging from the present
state of affairs, the O. A. C. will hardly have a chance to
hang the championship rjenant-for '90 in their "trophy
hall."

E. C. Sachs, the promising young runner of the C. A. A.
C. is suffering from a sprained knee, and will not be able to
train for the members' handicap meeting next month.
, On Sunday last, at the Oakland race track, Henry Aude-
fred, an Oakland amateur runner, defeated 0. L. Morrow, a
professional runner from Nevada County, in a match race of
one hundred yards, for $20 a side Time, 1H seconds. Be-
ing dissatisfied at the result. Morrow again challenged his
man to run him a race of one hundred and fifty yards, for a
similar stake. The Oakland boy took up the defy, and again
defeated the professional. Time, 16 J seconds. It is claimed
that over $500 was lost on the defeated runner.

A match race of one hundred yards between two profes-
sional runners was decided at Santa Rosa on last Sunday.
The time given by the timekeeper was9f seconds. This wag
a good guess, and we think the timekeeper could make a
fortune in the East. His watch must be a dandy.

The track at the new grounds of the O. A. C. will be at
least three seconds faster than the track at the Fourteenth
and Center street grounds, Oakland. This is good news for
the athletes, and several records will certainly go under on
September 9th.

The following appeared in the Liverpool (England) Echo
of June 17tb, under the heading of "Success of a Liverpool
Athlete-."

"A San Francisco correspondent informs us that J. Jarvis
of Liverpool, at one time champion of England, won the one
mile walking race at the championship sports in connection
with the Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic Association, on the
30th ult. Jarvis led all the way, and won by nearly 200
yards in 11 minutes 11 3-5 seconds. In a private letter
Jarvis states that the track, being composed of soil and
sand, is of a slow nature, and that he can travel as fast as
ever."

Jarvis evidently forgot to state that neither of the local
champions were in condition and that if they had been he
would not have won by 200 inches. However, he will find
to his surprise that he will not have such an easy thing in
the next walk.

THE WHEELMEN.

A bicycle tournament will take place at Grass Valley on
the 22nd of August. Several of the local riders will take
part in the proceedings.

Fred C. Clif t of the Alameda Scorchers has already started
in to train, and feels confident of winning a few "Grass Val-
ley" medals.

The local wheelmen are all busy preparing for coming
events.

Charley Fonda is still suffering from the effects of the ac-
cident he met with at Stockton on the 4th, and the doctor
tells him that it will be dangerous for him to race again,
owing to the fracture of his knee-cap.

Unless the San Francisco and Oakland wheelmen take
more interest in the proposed meeting at San Jose on Sep-
tember 9th, the affair will probably fall through.

R. H. Holroyd expects to capture the next novice's race. If
he attends Btrictly to training his chance of suecesa is very
good.

IH THE SCEF.

For the past couple of weeks the weather baB been any-
thing but warm, and in consequence the Burf-bathing estab-
lishments were only poorly patronized.

The Crystal and Palace baths are doing a big business jus*1
at present.

The managers of these two bath houses should make new
rules forbidding bathers from diving off the galleries. The
water in the tanks is entirely too shallow to admit of high
divii g.

A young lady well known in society, indulges daily in a
dip at the Shelter Cove Baths. She generally swims out to
the baoy, anchored an eighth of a mile from shore.

The Alameda baths were well patronized last Sunday. At
the Terrace baths an unusually large number of "people
watched the frolics of the swimmers.

AT THE OAKS.

Several amateur crews putont from Tiburon and Sausalito
on Sunday last. The oarsmen all Beem to like these places
for a nice smooth Bpin, the water, inshore, is generally calm
and even.

A good many of the crews belonging to the Ariel Bowing
Club were out on the bay on Sunday.

The Station B, Post Office crew took their usual Sunday
spin. This crew consists of John Larkey, Lewis

Nnnan, L. Anger, Henry Tarek and Eugene Flanders (cap-
tain).

The South Eods have not yet given up the cup won by the
Ariels laBt 4th of July.

It is thought that the Society of California Pioneers will
offer a valuable trophy for competition amongst the different
clubs on Admission Day.

CLTJB JOTTINGS.

The Pacific Athletic Club will hold its next exhibition on
August 15th. in interesting programme will be arranged
for that occasion.

Now that there are bo many "oross country" teams in the
field, it would be a capital idea to have them all come together
and hold a "crosB country" championship.

The G. G A. C. athletes will have the privilege of training
at the Bay District track for the present. The managers of
the club have been unable to find groundB nearer town.

The membership of the California Crib Clnb is now over a
thousand.

Inside of a couple of years the P. C. A. A. A. will be one
of the strongest athletic organizations in America.

The Directors of the P. A. C. wishes it to be understood
that no brutal prize fights will be tolerated within their
rooms. The club was started for the purpose of upholding
manly sports, both in and out-door.

An effort to start an Irish Athletic Club in this city will be
made in the near future. Only native born Irishmen will be
eligible to membership. There are any amount of native
born Irish athletes in San Francisco, and a first-class club
will no doubt be organized.

In order to defray some of the expenses of building new
training grounds, the O. A. C. will hold an in-door tourna-
ment within a couple of months- The tournament will last
two days. We would recommend that the Mechanic's Pavil-
ion be hired for the occasion. On the first night a handicap
athletic meeting could be held, and such games as running,
walking, jumping, etc., would constitute a good programme;
the different winners to receive certificates instead of medals.
On the second evening a programme nf boxing, wrestling,
etc., conld be given. A handsome sum would be realized
from such exhibitions, and the public would receive full
value for their money.

The Pacific Athletic Clnb field team held its first cross-
country run on the 28th of July at Fruit vale. The run was
enjoyed to its full extent by the many members of the club.
The boys started from Fruitvale and ended the run at Mr.
T. Clipper's ranch, where that gentleman received them in
truly sporting style. It is rumored that Pop Benjamin, the
genial Secretary of the Club, who is training on the quiet on
account of his avoirdupois of 265 pounds, did not show up
in the run, but was seen tugging towards the summit of
Tamalpias. The heat waB extreme, and at the last accounts
it is claimed that he had melted. Hib many friends would
like to know if he is still training under the watchful eye of
his mentor "Old Joe," if so, it is thought that he will chal-
lenge Teddy Culin at even weights. The contest would be a
great one.

The Atheneum Athletic Club will not place a tfam in the
field on Admission Day, as some of their best men are at
present back East.

The Pacific Athletic Clnb is now one of the most promis-
ing organizations on this coast.

Mr. C. Giry, president of the club and the first organizer of
it, is one of the most successful and energetic sporting meu
of this oity and it is due to his great efforts that the Pacific
Athletic Club has grown to such an extent.

He has organized a club totally unlike other ones, and has
by his kindness and sociability among the members, gained a
host of friends whom we hope wiil stand by their yonng
president and by the flag of one of the best institutions
formed.

He is known among the athletes of this city, as one of the
clevereBt and most scientific boxera, and it is hoped that his
pupils will show np in good form in coming tournaments.

All that we wish is success to the Pacific Athletic Club and
to Mr. C. Giry.

The Pacific Athletic Club will hold its monthly exhibition
on Thursday, August 15, 1839. at the Clnb rooms, 1630 Mar-
ket street. It will be one of the best ever witnessed on this
coast. The programme is as follows:

FOUR ROUND BOUTS,

Neal Sullivan vs. Joe Hesketh.
McCormack vs. W. Kennedy.
P. Curry vs. Stone.
Palmer vs. Edgar.

HIGH JUMPING.

C. C. Johnson and Phil. Moody.

COLLAR AND ELBOW WRESTLING.

Professor W. Figerald and puDiL
M. Figerald is teaoher of the club.

Four round settos between two midgets for the Shadow-
Weight ChampionBhip.

The main feature of the evening will be a scientific
contest between Charles Ell of the Pacific Athletic Club and
Weston for the bantam-weight of the Pacific Coast.

Exercises will begin at 7:30 o'clock.

C. Girt, President.

MISCELLANEOUS.

W. H. Taylor, Jr., of the California Lawn TenniB Club,
who recently won the championship of the Pacific Coast at
Hotel del Monte, Monterey, Cal., "is seriously thinking of
entering for the championship at Newport, to see how his
game will bear comparison with the Extern cracks. Last
fall he defeated C. A. Chase of Chicago, in this city. As Mr.
Chase was not in his best form then it would net be fair to
judge from that.

The committee who have charge of the Dew training
grounds of the O. A. C. should not forget to have a band
stand erected on some part of the grounds, where it will not
obstruct the view of the audience.

The good old game of foot-ball seems to have been neg-
lected of late by our local athletes. It is indeed a great pity
that this very interesting pastime should be allowed to rest in
oblivion, as a good game is always watched with great inter-
est by the audience. With so many promising athletic organi-
zations in our midst it is to be hoped that the game will be re-
vived during the coming season.

We do not see why the P. C. A. A. A. does not try to in-
duce the leading societies of thiB city to follow the example
of the Eastern socities by having a regular programme of
games at their annual picnics. Such an improvement would
most assuredly tend to excite more interest in picnics and a
much better crowd of people would patronize them.

Hand ball seems to be all the craze now a days amongst the
members of theO. A. C. The bail court in the gymnasium
seldom if ever gets a rest. The ball fiends may be seen prac-
ticing there morning and evening.

A handball court will be erected in the new exhibition hall
of the C. A. C. Boon.

Mr.'E. Tilley, who will be remembered by Olympics as one
of the "sticklers" at the Cornish wrestling tournament a year
ago, is in San Francisco, doing the elegant as gracefully as a
two hundred and thirty pounder can do it. He says he
conld wrestle as well as ever if he could only train off a hun-
dred pounds or so of too, too solid flesh.

ROD.

Bay fishing on Sunday last was not as good as on the
former Sunday, still Borne good catches were made.

For smelt fishing the water was rather a little too muddy,
and the wharf anglers were disappointed in their expecta-
tions.

At California City. Angel Island, Alcatraz and Kershaws
Point only a few catches were made, but the fish that were
caught were all large.

Some very large green cedfish have recently been captured
at Lime Point. The best fishing in this neighborhood may
be bad in the vicinity of the fog whistle. Here fish weighing
as much as twenty pounds have been hooked from time to
time, bat the tides prevent a good many people from going
there.

Judge James W- Bicknell.

One of the most genuine anglers known to ns was Judge
Bicknell who died in Stanislaus County, on June 27th last.
He was ripe in years and experience, being a learned man in
the books, and a wise one. Few lives are more varied than
his, and few men preserve to seventy-six, the parity of their
very youthful days as did the kindly old friend, whose death
brings vividly lo mind all his many gentle virtues. A
Tennesseean by birth, the Judge was a veteran of the Mexi-
can War, coming to California after the close of <hat episode.
He mined for a lime as did almost all others, bat, not being
lustful for gain, and possessing the implicit confidence of his
fellow citizens, in 1S54, he was pnt into public office where
he remained pretty much all of the rest of his life, passing
from a County Clerkship to the place of County Judge, which
he filled with eminent ability, and absolute integrity.

When he put off the ermine a few years ago, he settled
down to pass his remaining days in peace and sunshine, and
no clearer title to esteem could be held than will be accorded
him when it is said that his home in Bedwood City was a
place visited and revisited by those who knew him, with ever
increasing love for its cordial occupant.

Shooting was beyond Judge Bicknell's strength, but he
could wet a Hoe and did so on maDy days of each fishing
season. The fishing in the lakes near Redwood was open to *
time, and he also made trips to Weber where his experiences
were of the rarest. Fly fishing, while he admired it and
owned a superb outfit, very soon fatigued him, but he would
sit for hoars with a sunken fly tipped with bait and pull out
goodly bass and trout.

We remember being with, him one day on a lake not far
from San Francisco. Beside the Judge were two noted an-
glers, John M. Adams and Bamon E. Wilson, both of whom
loved the old man with a love born of appreciation of his
goodnesseB. The anglers could do nothing with the fly and
finally all settled down to bait. The day was hot, the claret
superior, the party drowsily dangling baited hooks over the
side of a punt

Suddenly the Judge's rod bobbed sharply into the lake,
bat without discomposing the veteran. A twitch and the
hook was firmly seated; then deliberate reeling began, when
the reel fell from its fastening. Any other but Judge Bick-
nell would have given vent to strong talk and excitement,
but the Judge simply remarked; "BamoD, just pick np my
reel, won't you?" and sat uDmoved while the request was
complied with, although a cross tire of vehement advice
from Adams and the scribe was poured, that should have
rattled any living man.

The Judge was glad when he killed a good fiph, but never
regretted losing one, and what more can be said for an an-
gler. His name will be preserved in fishing annals as long as
the "BickDell Fly" in used. The fly was originated on the
trip mentioned, each of the party suggesting some part of if.
and it is an attractive lure where ever a darkish ti
cated. With its wings af Ibis, claret body, bla> '
tail, it is a pretty fly.

The pity is that Judge Bicknell could pot
er jo the land he honored,

Marysville.

On the 10th of the present mouth entries will elo-e
with Secretary Ecke.t for the September meeting at
Marysville. This old city of the plains has long enjoyed
an enviable reputation for the successful gatherings neld
there each year, and in all probability there will be no
exception to the rule this season. There is always an
hospitable welcome extended to the visitors attending,
the officers of the society invariably using every endeavor
to make the guests feel comfortable.

Hcrsemen who are in the habit of attending the
annual circuit, and have experienced the cordial greet-
ings of the Marysvilleans, will enter on the 10th, so that
a full entry list may be looked for.

The lone Meeting.

Several weeks ago the Breedrr and Sportsman ven-
tured the prediction lhat there would be a larger num-
ber of running horses at lone than at any other meeting
in the State except Sacramento. That the prophecy will
be fulfilled is evident from the very liberal entry list,
which is advertised in the proper column. The Direct-
ors of the Sacramento and Amador Agricultural Society
had noticed that the thoroughbreds were not given much
prominence in the various meetings shortly to be held.
So when they issued their programme the majority of
the purses were offered for runners. As a natural
consequence the "blood horse men'* from all over the
State have made entries for the lone meeting, and there
is every prospect that the Association will this year
make a greater success than ever before. The pool sell-
ing has been allotted to Al Leach, who will look after
the wants of the betting fraternity in his usual happy
manner. President Gregory and Secretary Le Grave are
taking care that the track is in proper oider for the con-
tests, and those who attend the lone meeting are sure to
witness grand sport.

Our State Pair Edition.

As will be seen by advertisement, the Breeder and
Sportsman will be issued on September 14th, in a style
never before attempted by any- paper on the Pacific
Coast, and it is confidently believed that it will surpass
any like publication, ever issued in the United States.
It is now an assured fact that California is the greatest
horse breeding State in the union, the amount of money
annually brought into circulation here, through the sell-
ing of fine stock to outside parties, being greatly in ex-
cess of that sent to any other State for like purchases.
Recognizing this, and knowing that the horsemen of the
coast are fully alive to the fact, that this paper is the
medium through which the interests of their class are
constantly kept before the public, we have plunged into
the stream of competition with the more pretentious
Eastern journals and boldly assert that there has never
been an issue of any horse paper that will compare with
the State Fair edition of the Breeder and Sportsman.

As may be reaculy understood, the extra cost will be
enormous in comparison with the ordinary running
expenses, but we have not hesitated on that score, for
tangible assurances are coming by each mail that breed-
ers and advertisers are willing to assist us in this stupen-
dous undertaking. We have not restricted ourselves to
any given number of pages, for at the present time it is
impossible to say how many there will be. Every prom-
inent writer of note on the Pacific Slope has, or will be
invited to send in original articles on subjects that wili
be of interest to each breeder or owner of horses.

The illustrations will be under the immediate super-
vision of Mr. E. Wyttenbach, the premier artist of Cali-
fornia, who stands without a peer in the delineation of
horses and cattle, and it may be stated here that several
of them will be lithographed in colors, giving an effect
that must be seen to be appreciated.

In addition to our already large circulation, an extra
edition of ten thousand copies will be printed and judici-
ously circulated for the benefit of our advertising patronB.
Taking into co asideration the advantages to be derived by
advertisers in this special number, the rates are amaz-
ingly low, and those desiring space should apply at once,
so that we may properly classify them before it becomes
too late.

Owners of horses who desire to have pictures in this
invaluable edition, will receive rates on application at
the office. It is not our intention to make a single penny
profit out of this great publication, but we will simply
charge the actual cost for whatever the expenses may be.
Those who have cuts of horses inserted will receive three
hundred extra copies to mail to their friends and
acquaintances, or, on a list being prepared and sent to
us, we will mail them free of postage to any part of the
country.

We have no timidity in presenting this prospectus to
our patrons, for they should see at once how beneficial it
is to their interests to assist us in carrying the project to

a successful conclusion. We would, however, impress un
the minds of all who are desirous of taking advautage
of this opportunity to write at once, as there is no time
to be lost in preparing the lithographs, and it is essential
that each person should be satisfied with the "counterfeit
presentments" before they are sent to press. Time wilj
also be required to write up the homes of the horses, as
that will add greatly to the de«ired effect. It will be
seen therefore that whatever is done must be done
quickly, as there is no time to lose.

The Pacific Coast Trotting Association.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Our Board is in favor
of an organization such as you propose, viz., Pacific Coast
Trotting Association, providing the rulings of the National
and American Associat ons are respected; but if members
suspended from those associations are admitted without be-
ing honorably reinstated, the proposed new association will
be a disgrace to our Coast. Tours respectfully,

M. Pritchard, Pres. Sierra Valley Agricultural Ass'n.

E. Danporth, Secretary-

Salinas Notes.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Nothing having ap-
peared recently in your most excellent paper to indicate that
there is such a place as Salinas or that one of the best
tracks in the State is located here, is the moving cause for
this intrusion upon your time and space. Our fair grounds,
known locally as Sherwood Park, are just a convenient dis-
tance from Salinas City, and the arrangements aB to grand
stand, judges' stand, stable room, etc., are equal to the best
at any of the tracks in the State. To add to the comfort of
the great number usually attending our annual meetings the
Directors of the Association for this the 7th district last week
appointed a committee consisting of Directors Jas. B. Iver-
son, H. S. Ball and D. G. McLean to have a new grand
stand erected in time for the fair, Oct. 8th to 12th inclusive.

At the'track these fine mornings there is much activity,
and some interesting brushes and close finishes may be wit-
nessed almost every day. The track is kept in the finest
possible condition by the lessee, James Dwain, who is a
thorough horsman and clever little gentleman. He has in
his care quite a list of trotters, among which are Charles S.,
by Albert W., the property of a Mr. Slowberg of San Fran-
cisco. This young stallion is very mixed gaited, but has
quite a turn of speed.

Iverson's Mambrino Boy, b g, 5 years old, by Carr's Mam-
brino, dam by Vermont, 322, is u promising young horBe:
and does his miles very handily in :20, and quarters and
halves faster.

Thenerkauf's chestnut gelding, 4 years, byiCarr*s Gen, Loe,
he by Vermont 322, is a green horse, but can go close to the
charmed figure. He stands over 16 hands, and has a re-
markably easy way of going,

Smeltzer's Billy Baxter, b g, 6 years, by Tom Vernon, dam
nntraced, gained a record of 2:41 last year in the sixth and
final heat of a race. He is a large horse, a tine roadster, and
has shown quarters in :36J. Thomas Baxter, a full brother
to Billy Baxter, is a handsome dapple grey stallion, and
though just put into training shows quarters at better than a
three-minute gait.

Perhaps the most admired, as she is certainly the most
aristooratio looking animal at the track, is Kilhurn's Aunty
Wilkes, a jearlingseal brown filly by Guy Wilkes, dam by
Speculation. She is just being broken, and moves and looks
very much like her noted sire.

Jesse D. Carr's bay colt Gabilan, 2 years, by Ansel, dam
GabilanMaid, afulljsister to!Lady|EIlen, 2:2JU, 1b a large band-
some ;colt, and while not yet showing any great speed, has.a
perfect gait, and should some day move very fast.

Wm. Vanderhurst'sohfstnut gelding Robert Lee, 5 years, by
Kingston, dam Mamie by Carr's Mambrino, and his full
brother Victor, 2 years old, are moving aloDg well and taka
kindly to their work.

Gonzales' bay filly, 2 years, by Junio, is a large, rangy
animal, and from present appearances, with her pure gait and
easy Iwayl of going, 'will soon be moving fast, as she can
already show quarters in :40.

Alfred G., the property of Iverson and Vanderhurst, is a
two year old, and as pretty a mover as one would wish to
see. He is entered in the two-year old district trotting stake.

Iveraon's Alex. S., bay gelding, 4 years, by Mambrino Jr.
(Carr's), dam by Vermont 322, is a clever goer with an exceed-
ingly good gait.

Tboloke's Johnny Schmoker, brown gelding, 2 years, by
Kingston, dam by Bull Pup, and B. V. Sargent's sorrel geld-
ing, 3 years, by Jim Mulvenua, are green but handsome coltB.
The foregoing are all in charge of James Dwain,

Alex. Sweeton has in his care Altoona by Almont, who has
made a big season in the stud here, having to turn away,
manylmaves. This proud son of the great Almont and Theresa

B., is the aire of Alio and Flora G , both in the 30 class. He
is as spry as a colt and as handsome as a picture. Mr.
Sweeton has just bought P. McCartney's half interest in
Flora G , 2:29,}, by Altoona, dam by Conway's Patchen, and
she is moving along pretty briskly. Last Sunday he sent
her three heats in 2:35, 31^ and 27; pretty good considering
that she foaled late and has been short of work. Her black
filly by Mul Vorhees is being raised by hand and is a
natural born little trotter.

Nest week I shall have something to say of the strings of
Pat McCartnevfand James A. Harris, now in trainingjat this
track. M. J. S.

Salinas, July 31, 1889.

At the Home of Victor.

I paid a visit several days ago to the Indian Valley Breed-
ing farm situated near Crescent Mills in Indian Valley,
Plamas County. The valley contains about 25,000 acres of
arable lmd, through which flows the Eist branch of the
North Fork of the Feather river. The attitude is about
4,500 feet above the level of the sea, and the soil is richer
than any I ever saw anywhere. There is an abundance of
fine timothy hay, oats, and rich red clover, and orchards are
plentiful, the fruit grown in the valley, being superior to any
grown in the northern section of the State.

The farm contains 23S acres, thoroughly watered and
drained, and is owned by George A. Dougherty, belter known
on the cirouit as Old Hayseed. It is on this place that the
trotting monarch of the mountains reigns, he who captured
Butte and Nevada, and gave to the Saoramentians an inti-
mation that he would eventually add the Capital to his al-
ready wide domain. I refer to the trotting wonder, Victor,
2:22£. On the farm proper there are no buildings, and Vic-
tor has to occupy a stall on an adjoining ranch. There is on
the farm a good half-mile track, and it is here that the stall-
ion and the balance of the stable are exercised. Vic-
tor was sired by Echo, 1st dam by "Woodburn, 2nd dam by
American Boy, Jr. (Surely this is a mistake; we have the
2nd dam as oy ABhland. — Ed.) He wsb foaled about 187S,
and passed through many hands until he was bought by Mr.
Dougherty. Since he passed into the hands of the latter his
record was obtained at Sacramento last year, the same time
being made at Susanville later in the season.

Sparkle iB a bay mare five years old, 15.2-i hands high,
with long, strong hips, good stifles and splendid legs and
feet. She is rather lengthy, and would be considered badly
coupled by many, but is one of the improving kind, as she
was defeated when a two-year-old in 3:03, but a8 a three-
year-old she gained a record of 2:41 at Keno, and was given
a trial at Susanville in 2:39. This fall she will be sent to do
her best, and it is confidently believed that the mare will get
a low mark. She is by Prompter, dam Starlight by Edwin
Forrest.

We now come to a geldiDg by Victor, known as B. B. B.
He is now three years old. As a yearling he trotted in 3:23,
but can beat that all to pieces now.

I also saw a nice brown filly by Victor, dam by Gen. Reno,
who can travel better than a three-minute gait, and also a
full sister to the above which is a little beauty.

Mr. Dogherty has also a yearling and a sucking colt, both
bays, by Victor out of Laura S., who is by a grand son of
Speculation.

The next one shown me is Mountain King, one year old,
by Victoria, dam Sparkle by Prompter. When first ioaled
he took after the Blue Bulls and paced — iu fact, I have it on
authority that while still a suckling he paced a mile by the
side of his mother in 3:45. As he grew older, it seems he
became ashamed of the side wheel business and turned to
trotting, and now he is as pure gaited as possible.

A full sister to Mountain King is considered the gem of
the collection by all who have visited the farm. She has
only just been weaned, but shows an aptitude in trotting
that is really marvelous in one so young. She can show a
clean pair of heels to any of her age on the place, and there
are few yearlings who can touch her in speed.

The last one to claim attention was a bay suckling filly by
Victor, dam by Gen. Reno, who is a sturdy, well muscled
little lady, that promises well.

The horses at this place are handled differently than at
any other breeding farm I have ever seen, so in my next
letter I shall give you a description of how Mr. Dougherty
manages his trotters. Pomfet.

Col- Harry I. Thornton's Thoroughbreds-

A Breeder and Sportsman representative in Sacramento
having a little spare time on his hands went down to the old
Stanford stables on F Street (between 16th and 17th streets)
to see the horses educated there by Hanger Jones. Their
owner is Col. Harry Thornton, one of our most scientific
and at the same time educated breeders in California. The
Colonel has spared neither time nor money in procuring good
atallions to cross with his invaluable mares, his entire ambi-
tion being to have the very best and moBt fashionable blood
in the land, both English and Australian, and we hope his
efforts will be successful; and I am sure they will, for he has
at the head of his racing stable as trainer a very steady and
experienced man. Jones, although young, has been in the
business a long while, having served a long apprenticeship
with Captain Moore, of Crab Orchard, Kentucky, and also as
urder-trainer to J. B. Haggin, at Kancho Del PaBO.

I will give your readers a list of the horses in training, with
their breeding. First, I will head the list with that grand
race mare Norcola; her performances are so well known to
the public that there is no necessity to go minutely into them,
for they are so numerous it woold take more space than we
eau spare in this issue, suffice it to say that we think she
was the best mare we ever saw as a three-year-old, and are in
doubt if there is on the Amerioan turf to-day a race-horse who
can show her his heels after they have gone one and one-
quarter miles when iu condition, for a majority of her races
go to show that she is one of the best long distance race
mares on the turf.

The next is Joe Ho^e, a three-year old chestnut Colt by
Joe Hooker, dam Viola K,; he performed very favorably
during last spring, and his trainer thinks well of him for the
fall races.

The third on the list is Beata, a chestnut filly two years old
by Milner, dam Marin: she has improved in appearance
since the Bpring, and I think if nothing occurs to retard her
progress she will be in the front rank this fall. Then we
looked at a colt two years old who haB what Bhould be a very
fasbionablecrossfor speed and endurance, being by Grinstead,
dam Sunlit by Monday, grandam Lilly R. by Longfellow,
and a strong game pedigree behind that. He is of the Volante
type, and if he is as good as the big little un, he will enhance
the value of the blood. Among the yearlings are some which
should prove fliers, the first is a brown colt by Darebin, dam
Bavaria, and the selection was well made, for his breeding is
unexceptional, and everyone at the Haggin sale said that he

was the fac-simile of Darebin, and with age hs should make a
nailer. Why not uaina him Hungarian, Austrian, Ludivis or
Archduke?

The next looked at is a bay or browu filly by John Happy,
dam Glad Eyes. She is a very pretty thing and if she does
not race she is bound to make a grand brood mare, and it is
more for that purpose that her owner purchased her. An-
other very pretty filly by John Happy out of Jongleuse.
She is like her sire, racy-looking all over. We then in-
terviewed a brown filly by Darebin, dam Kitten by imp.
Eclipse, a perfect beauty and for breeding there is nothing
finer on the American continent.

There is also a very pretty bay filly by Hyder Ali, dam
Sabrina by Norfolk; this filly oughs to race as her sire is one
of the leading stallions this year, having sired that great
three-year-old Spokane, winner of the Kentucky and Great
American Derbys while Norfolk had the best three-year-old
last year and the crack two-year-old (El Rio Rey) this year.
Race? why she can't help it if looks and breeding are any
criterion. A cheBtout colt by Milnerout of Nanny Hubbard by
Hubbard and out of Demirep, the dam of that good race horse
Duke of Monday was shown, the colt was purchased by James
Garland {Big Jim) and Hanger Jones and I hope the new
partners will be successful in their purchase; he is a very
fine type of a game speedy horse and barring accidents he
will be heard from later.

Last but by no means least, is a very fine looking brown
yearling filly by Darebin, out of the fast mare Carrie C, by
Monday out of Annette by Lexington, and therefore she has
two very close crosses of the Lexington. Everyone krows
that Lexington blood is invaluable, and the produce of Car-
Tie C. has shown great promise already, for had it not been
for Sobrante's accident iu the race a year ago, he would have
most assuredly beaten Surinam at the Blood Horse meeting.
Hereafter I hope to give a full and explicit account of the
Colonel's ranch and brood mareB when time and opportunity
offer.

We have received the following information regarding Sil-
verheels from a resident of Woodland, Yolo County:

One Silverheels, owned by Parker of Sacramento, a fine
roadster, stood at several stands in Yolo county, and has left
many fine representatives. He was by Col. Singleton's Sil-
verheelB, the premium roadster among many exhibited at the
St. Louis Fair many years ago, Singleton had a hobby that
he could invent a fast breed of trotters by mixing Morgan,
Hambletonian and Vermont trotters with Kentucky thor-
oughbreds.

Another Silverheels was the one you mention by Hutton's
Bulwer out of a Rob Roy mare. Bulwer a son of Gray Eagle
and full brother of Lola Montez.

Both Silverheels left produce in this vicinity. S. R.

match race of 100 yards for a purse of §500 at the Terrace
Baths, Alameda. Pinckhcm is in good condition, and
should easily defeat the Canadian.

If all accouuts are true in the last race at the Mormon
home, a job was put up whereby the talent would get a little
sure money. It was a novely race, and the prinoipal backers
of the job discovered that the novelty lay in the fact that two
of the owners put their heads together and ran the race out
on the knowing ones, causing muoh weeping and wailing and
gnaBhing of teeth. It was the biter bitten.

BILLIARDS.

Monday eve, 29th, the members of the San Francisco
Verein had a genuine treat. Mr. Steinhart, the champion
billiardist of the club, was challenged by Mr. Mandlebaum,
for the honors, wine and etc. It proved a very exciting contest
200 np. Mr. M. led by 38 points at 150. At 180 the score
was even, when through two misoues Mr. M. suffered defeat
by nine points, something like $1,000 changed hands on the
occasion.

The McCleery method of billiard playing is the title of a
very interesting work on the Scientific Pastime, now in the
hands of the publisher, to be out in thirty days.

Schaffer's room in Chicago, continues to be the headquar-
ters of those who enjoy a good game. Jake arranges matches
between both amatenrs and expertsat intervals. The conse-
qoenee are the bar receipts don't fall off any.

A match at San Jose is talked of for a good sized purse.
McCleery allowing Ben Saylor 25 per cent, in points. How
times do change matters. Three years ago, Saylor gave Mc
3X> in 1500 points and won handily. Nuw he don't seem
anxious to tackle him even with a quarter of the game given
him.

Southern California Tournament.

the gun.

Sunday last was a good day for local experts with the
rifle. Messrs. Will S. Kittle and Ed. Bosqui drove to Olema
on Saturday evening, and on Sunday morning turned their
hounds down on Point Reyes, soonkilling a fine hundred
and twenty pound buck, which was divided among their
friends when it reached the city.

On the same day Mr. J. E. Lucas killed a good buck near
his place back of San Rafael.

Mr. Hamilton Dobbin favored ns by c illing the other day.
He is one of the old-time sportsmen, having shot on the
Millbrre 'marshes with Mr. Clark, Harvey White, John Ker-
rigan, E. S. Cnlver, and all that coterie of good men who
have practically ceased to shoot, more's the pity. The army
of retired veterans grows apace, and with their retirement
goes much of the spirit which kept interest at heat.

Deer are plenty about the forks of Cache Creek, but it is
very hot in that region and hard to keep meat sweet for any
length of time.

Mr. Joe Bassford, Jr., o' Vacaville, has just returned from
a week's camping in Capell Valley with his own family and
the families of two friends. Tbe party killed four deer and
had trout and doves enongh, which means a good deal to
those who know what Joe considers "enough."

Springfield Notes.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The members of
Major Frost's rifle team who went to Europe from this city
are doing some extraordinary shooting in the team matches.
In a recent matoh Lieutenant S. S. Bumstead of this oity,
who is I, K. P. for the Second Regiment Infantry, M. N. M.,
made the phenomenal total of 100 out of a possible 105 at
200, 500 and 600 yards. This score, we believe, has never
been equalled in a team match. The other members from
this city are doing well, although one or two are not shooting
quite as strong as was expected of them. There is a great
desire among Etstern militia men for an international match
nest year with the Government arms. In case of a match
some of the fine military rifle shots of the Pacific will cer-
tainly obtaio places. The writer is of the opinion that the
Pacific Coast contains better military rifle shots than any
other part of the cor.ntry. Take, for instance, the Carson
City Guard as a team. There is no team from any company
or regiment who can beat them. The Rod and Gnn Rifle
Club of this city are laying out a 500, 600 and 800 yard
range.

The Springfield Gun Club held a two-days' tournament,
which was well attended, and was a big success, the club net-
ting over S200 for the treasury.

It is proposed on the return of the Mass. rifle team from
England to banquet the local members of tbe team. The
following table may interest some of the Pacifio Coast rifle-
men. The totals for the five matches which were Bhot at

A. W. Bruner of Colton kindly sends the following full par-
ticulars in which appear tbe names of shooters, the murks at
which they shot, the gauges and makes of guns UBed, and

Unlucky Hunters.

This morning two bold huuters started forth in quest of
deer. They were comfortably situated in a nice open cart,
both had repeating rifles and confidently expected to kill
enough venison and bear to lust through the rest of the
warm season. We suppresi their names because they have
kept the affair a secret from their most intima'e friends all
day. and we do not wish to "give them away" as it was by
mere acoident that we learn of the result of their expedition.
And for tbe further reason that one is a pastor of the South
Metnodist Church, and the other a prominent patent slooe
layer of thia town, and we respect both gentlemeu very high-
Arriving at the thicket they proceeded very elowlv as it
was ae yet hardly light and they did not wish to frighten
away any small lions that might be lying on the ont-skirts of
the forest. Suddenly a very large bear or something else
made a slight noise near them, the horse jumped to one side
overturning the cart and spilling the occupants.

When they arose and tosk an inventory they found that
the patent stone man was considerably bruised about the
face, but the preacher had escape uninjured. The horse con-
tinued on bis journey, but he did not go slow. When found
a half boor later the harness and cart were everlastingly Uis-
figurer', but the horse was "still in the ring."
The hunt, however, was not to be given up, The horse

reception, Mrs. Galbreath telling us to make ourselves at
home and help ourselves to anything we saw that was not
chained down. Even the three hounds greeted us with that
welcome that only a fox-hound can give. "We pitched our
camp beside a beautiful stream of water coming right out of
the mountain, as pure and cold as it ever gets to be. But at
its best, don't you know, water Deeds just a little "wink'
in it. I believe you do know that; seems to me you learned
it at the last field trial, or was it the one before, at which you
experimented with rectified water on Linvilleand caused him
to make that brilliant oration about field trial handlers and
things in general. Well, we had the "wisk." Beech soon
arrived with the grub wagon. We put up the tent for the
ladies, and the rest of us, except Abe and Bonnie, took old
Mother Earth for our couch and the open air for our cover-
lid. Abe and Bennie played smart as they thought, and
climbed on to a large stack of hay for their bed. After all
the beds had been attended to and the camp made snug, the
ladies had supper ready. Another drink of that cold water
and accompanying corrective and then we ate, and it was
astonishing to Bee how much those ladies could eat.

Next morning, at 4 o'clock, we were up and had coffee.
Beech went down to call Abe and Bennie to breakfast, and,
behold! about a ton of hay had slid off the top of the stack.
Abe and Bennie slid off with it, and never waked up.
Breakfast over, we started after some venison. Everybody
was well mounted but me, and I concluded rather than be
the only fellow on foot I would ride Pete. Pete had been
mounted once before by Bennie Reams, who could ride a
comet, and Bennie said that Pete moved funny-like, and he
landed about thirty feet from the mule in aboat a quarter
of a second after he struck Pete's back, I was about to back
out and go on foot, when Charlie Beams said, "Stay with
him, Joe; I'll help you." So Charlie tied Pete's halter strap
tight around the horn of his saddle, and I piled on. Well;
Pete is small, but he grew smaller. He tied himself up in a
very small knot, and then he untied himself quick-like. His
tail was like a corkscrew, and I was looking for a soft place
to fall. But Pete fooled us, quit his mule tricks and went
all right. Well, we started nine deer, and the dogs worked
first-rate. George Bassford's beagle Duffer worked finely.
At 9:30 we were back to camp with two fine bucks, and the
ladies were still eating. I don't know why, but there they
were— eating. We stayed there just a week and did not see
another deer, and, in consequence, the ladies were hungry
— in fact, faint — the last two or three days. We killed
plenty of doves, but doves don't go very far with ladies
when they are hungry. Beech and Charlie Beams caught
some very fine trout. A vegetable garden close to our camp
was nearly demolished by our ladies; the vegetables fresh
from the garden were fine, especially the onions, cucumbers,
tomatoes and things. After a big trip of several hours,
looking for deer, we concluded they were well named as they
are dear. After enjoying just one week of camp life we
started for home. Beech was about half a mile behind us
and somewhere between Capelle and Wooden Valleys he
killed two deer close to the roadside, and said the dogs ran
one of them nearly into our wagon, but we would not look
around, so we got home on July 17th with fresh venison,
after enjoying the week intensely. I tell you ladies are
pretty handy to have around a camp. They seem to be able
to cook without getting sand and ashes into everything the
way we do, and they seem to enjoy every bit of the camping
life very much, especially the cooking. J. M. B., Jr.

Joe Bassford's Story-

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— It is frightfully hot,
but I had so much fun a few days ago that I can't help writ-
ing you a short acoount of a little hunting trip. On the 10ih
of July we started for Capelle Valley. "We" means Beech
Bassford and wife and daughter, Chas. Reams and wife, Miss
Ida Bassford, Abe Bassford, Bennie Reams, Master Percy
Garvey, myself and family.

We stopped at the ranch of Beech and George BasBford for
lunoh, arriving juBt in time. Good calculator I am, you w»ll
know, about grub time. Well, we had father's large three-
seated carriage and two very small mules to pull it, but when
we got them under way after lunch it was a go, and we never
stopped them until Jaok Riiney'a comfortable, home in
Capelle Valley was reached. Of course everybody has to stop
and have a chat with Jack Rainey, particularly if the visitor
has got a rifle or a hound with him.

After spending about an hour very pleasantly, we got Pete
and Uiok, I mean the mules, under way again, and headed
them for Mr. Galbreath'e ranch, about three miles away

In the summer of 1866, I made the journey on horseback
from Idaho Oity, Boise Basin, to Lewir.ton, at the confluence
of the Snake and Clearwater rivers, Northern Idaho a dis-
tance of over three hundred miles, which occupied twelve
days. Accompanying me was an expert mountain man — guide
hunter, cook and skilled in the care of horses on such ex-
peditions. We had two saddle horses and a pack animal
and were well equipped for game of ail kinds aDd for fishing!
Our route led from Boise Basin across the high mountain
divide into North Payette Valley, through the deadwood re-
gion and the three Payette lakes and mountain spurs, into
Warren's diggings, and thence through Northern Idaho to
Salmon, Florence, Whitehorse, Camas Prairie, Craigs Mount-
ain, Keyser's, White's and Ford Lapwan, to the Nez Perces
Ind an Reservation just above Lewi-jton. It is rough, wild
country, of broken mountain ranges and spnrs, coursed by
turbulent rivers and rapid smaller streams, tributaries to
the Snake or Lewis river, tortuous and treacherous in its
navigation for hundred of miles. After descending the steep
mountain trail from the high divide which separates Lower
Payette Valley and the river from the extensive valley of the
North Payette, to Packer John's camping ground, the trail
through the entire length of the upper valley is comparative-
ly level. But it is difficult and iu some respects perilous.
During the five days we were making the tedious ride through
it, only one white man was met. Indians formerly inhab-
ited the valley, but we saw none. In one of the streams we
caught a poor quality of salmon, almost tasteless and not
relishable. There were neither deer nor other coveted game
and a blue orane was the only bird we got a shot at!
It was not eaten — too rank in smell and tough in flesh.

I had been told that in the vallev were f^und a game bird
known as "fool chicken" and the "red-tish of the big lakes.'
It was represented that the fool chicken was about the size
of a pheasant and of equally^fine quality for the table. They
were so called because of the easy manner in which thty
were killed, their tameneBS and apparent stupidity. A fowl-
ing-piece was not needed to kill them. To go no within
reach of the bird as it sat upon a bough of a low tree and
knock it in tbe head with a stick less than ten feet long was
the tame, unexciting, but effectual method of killing the fool-
chicken. This was the story tlrat had been told me of the
strange bird; but besides, the 6tory went that the fool-ohicken
was nearly as choice a delicacy for a feast as a partridge or a
grouse. Of the red fish, it was said that it most resembled
the tront in flavor. No other fish like them were to be found
exoept in the Payette lakes, and two or three men who regu-
larly fished for them made a comfortable living by selling
their fresh catches to tbe miners in the different camps within
a radins o£ fifty miles, and by salting and curing them for
winter's use.

I was curious to see and take both the fool-chicken and

the red fish. The accounts oi the bird 6etmed incredible

as a mild Gordou-Cumming story— alike as to its peculiari-
ty and its excellence in gamey quality. I was eager alBo to
catch and try the flavor of the red-h'sb. The opportunity in
each case soon ocourred. After we made camp one evening
near a small branch of good water, in the midst of a scatter-
ing of low trees, the guide came in from a short ramble and
told me be had found fool-chickens. I started at once for the

Two Standard
bred Colts,

BRED BY
CALVIS H. FREW.

First.

AG>ES FREW, a filly foaled April 7, 1868 at
Ban Diego. She is of a dark chestnut color, body
and legs ; no white, except stripe on face. She was
15 months old July 7th, and her last monthly record
of weight and height showed her to be 55 inches
high, and to weigh 695 pounds, with a girth of 6ii
inches, and 18* inches aronnd the forearm. Bow is
that for a trotter only ]5 months old ? In conforma-
ion and general proportion she is admirably built
with wonderfully good, hind quarters, wide hips*
good caunon bones, exceptionally good hoofs, and
fn- n t knees. She is sound all over, a rare beanty
and the best judges predict that she will show great
speed and be the mother of many fast trotters. She
is baiter and bridle broke, and stands without tie-
ing wbilo being groomed.

Her pedigree is extra. Sbe was sired by Woodlake
atPaxton.IUs. He by Woodford's Mambrino. Sire's
first dam was Hager; she by Alexander's ibiallah
Hager was the mother cf the great Countersign.
Eager's dam was by Downing's Bay Messenger.
Hager 's second dam was by Sir Archy. Alexander's
Abdallah sired the peerless Goldsmith Maid and
five others that made in better than 2:20. Also sired
twelve stallions that sired eighty-six trotters in
better than 2:30; also sired nineteen dams that pro-
duced twenty trotters in better than 2:30.

uay, the dam of Agnes Frew, was sired by John
Bright. He by that matchless stallion Volunteer.
He is the sire of St. Julien, who is Gay's half uncle.
Gay resembles him so much that strangers who were
acquainted with him at.first sight of Gay took her for
St. JulieD. Volunteer, among horsemen, has a
national reputation, so needless to follow his pedi-
gree.

Gay is a dark bright bay color; black mane, tail and
legs. A powerfully built animal of great force and
agility. She is fast, but was never tracked or trained.
Ber dam was Fashion; she by a Kentucky thorough,
bred stallion. In flfiy or more races Fashion took
first prize or first money. She was a wonder. I
owned her when I bred Gay. fashion was bred by
A. J.. Iteed of Irish Grove, 111. Her dam was a hi«h
bre 1 Humbletonian.

These statements are not guesss, but susceptible
of proof, and can be relied on as a verity. I will part
with her for 81,000. It is a great bargain, a rare
opportunity.

Second..

I will sell said HA1T'« STALLION t'OLT

foaled March 16, 1889, in San Diego, Cal. It is a
seal brown color, with black mane and tail. On each
of three feet some .vhite, and a small spot in fore-
head. It has an extra good body, finely muscled up
all aronnd, closely coupled, and got a short back
with fine hips. When foaled it measured 36i inches
high, at 1 month 39J inches high, and weiged 108 lbs.
At 4 months old, 47 inches high, and weighed 340
pounds. Last month both colts have grown rapidly,
and they are beauties. It was Bired by Alert, he by
Atherton. Alert's dam was the famous Penoda.

Price of this colt, named Atherton Jr., is $200
when weaned. Any correspondence addressed to

more than the long. Blender bough he had cnt from a tam-
arack tree. I took him at his word, as he said he had killed
many of the birds with that kind of weapon. Accordingly I
was guided by him, stick in hand. We had only a short dis-
tance to walk. On the limb where he had discovered the
bird there it still sat. As I drew near it made no sign of
alarm; it seemed asleep. Instantly I struck for its head.
Down tumbled the bird — fool-chicken, sure enough. It
never fluttered; the single blow had been effectual. I exam-
ined it. The wiags showed ample capacity for flight. The
bird was about the size of an ordinary pigeon, of doll brown
color, with little variatioD in any part, and in shape was
something between a pigeon and a grouse. It was in plump
condition. We soon had it ready for the camp-fire, broiled
it nicely, and sat down to the expected feast. To the hungry
man in the woods or plain who has not enjoyed pheasant or
grouse or a fine game bird for months, and is ready to satisfy
his appetite with almost anything, the fool-chicken may
serve for the occasion and be rated as a game bird. I was
not in that fix. The fool bird had fooled me. It was not
worth the trouble of dressing or cooking. The guide appar-
ently relished it, however, and I willingly committed the
whole of it to him after the first mouthful, I would as soon
think of killing the "booby" that lights npon the spanker
boom of a ship at sea as to think of killing another fool-
chicken for a feast. It is not in the nature of so stupid a
bird to possess anv game qualify. I saw several more while
on the journey, but I would as soon have gone hunting for
a toad in the mud.

The red fish panned out very little better, as compared
with trout or salmon, or any of the fine food fish. At
the big Payette lake, I found the fisherman who had his
station there, ond he out-fitted me for the sport. It wa<3 no
more animating than fishing for suckers in a slothfol stream.
The three lakes are contiguous, yet separate and distinct,
and large — the big lake nearly a mile in length and a half
mile in width, with a thick forest growth of pine and tam-
arack on every side, and mostly rocky walls, high and pre-
cipitious, to confine it. Miles of dead wood — the vestige of
huge fires — make the approach to the lakes very difficult and
exhausting It took us a whole day to go less than nine.

miles — the horses entirely jaded and distressed from the slow
and painfal task of making their way over the fallen and
charred timber, which lay as if strewed by contrary winds.
In the lakes no other kind of fish is found except the red-
fish. Its peculiar huegives it the name. In eize/aad form,
and appearance it much resembles the porgy of Atlantic
waters, and in food quality, it is very little superior to the
porgy. It was palatable — as fish in the wilderness is to one
— but not a dish to hanker after. At Warren's diggings I
ate of the dried and salted fish, and it was as inferior to salt
codfish, as the fresh red fish is to salmon.

The experience of that wild journey through Idaho further
taught me the effect that hunger and circumstance have upon
persons. I had been told of the delicacy of the fool chicken
and of the excellence of the red fish, by men who had en-
joyed feasts of fine game, birds and choice fish in cities, aud
doubtless they spoke agreeably to their judgment and belief.
Only hunger could have so affected their taste and appetite —
as men are sometimes brought to mule meat and coyote soup,
to banquet on crow or gulp down alkaline water. I have
never heard of any one eating the bird known in this State
as the racer or road-runner, no matter how hungry; but I
would as soon think of going hunting for these as going club-
bing for fool chicken. It would be interesting, however, to
have information of their species, as to particulars. Whether
they are found elsewhere than in North Payette Valley, I
have been uDable to ascertain, notwithstanding that I
endeavored daring a residence of nearly three years in Idaho
Territory, to learn more of the singular bird and its habitats;
of what it fed upon, a ad other details. Although I saw
many of them on my trip through the valley, I never saw one
in flight, but invariably resting, as if roosting, and only upon
the lower Hmb3 of low trees, within easy reach (or a blow
with a stick in the hand of any who cared to strike. They
i appeared as listless as an owl in daytime, and as easy to
kill. The trees in the valley were of the pinus and abies
genius, lacking the tall, fall growth of the southern portions
of Idaho, and less bright in the evergreen quality, and veg-
etation of good sustenance was very rare. It is impossible
that it could be a good region for game of aDy kind; and wild
beasts were not encountered.— except a coyote.

The only bear we saw was fishing in a tributary of Salmon
river, in a manner I had never before witnessed. From a
safe distance I watched the straDge performance. The bear
stocd in the middle of the narrow rocky bed of the stream,
with the water not above a foot deep, but very turbulent as
it rushed between the bowlders on its rapid down-flow.
Bruin seemed intent upon business. Down would strike
the great fore paw, and with a scoop of it out came a shining
salmon, landing on the grassy back, where a scramble
immediately occurred between two cubs, ravenaons but play-
ful. I was not timing the performance, but judge that the
show lasted fully half an hour. We waited until the bear
quit the sport and moved off before we cared to venture
ahead, as the pass was narrow and the trail rocky.

A she bear with cubs, hunting ior food, suggests discretion
with valor in sportsmanship, and my mission at the time
was neither to broak a record nor to incur needless danger.
Mother Bear led the way with her cubs and prey, and alter
the satisfied procession bad moved out of sight, toward the
timber on the south side of the stream, we pursued our
onward way.

It would be interesting likewise to learn something definite
and authoritative of the red-fish of the North Payette lakes—
of the species and its habitats — if it has any other. It can
never be a choice food fish, yet it comes very grateful to the
miners and others in lieu of better. The salmon are scarce
and of inferior quality, and the streams are very low during
the mining season, by rea»on of the large drafts to supply
the ditches. And why is the red-fish the only kind found in
the lakes? Is it because they are themselves the extermina-
tors of other species, or that none other are bred?

There is opportunity for the ichthyologist to investigate
and make known his conclusions Some amateur disciple
of Agassiz, locally situated, may yet furnish the interesting
information. So far as personal consideration is concerned,
as to appetite aud trial. I rest content in regard he fool-

chicken and the red-fish; but science has E-t
places for even bugs and infimtessimals, an
feathered and famed singularities of North P
entitled to descriptive notice by the votari-
bracing study of Nature and her realm.

The Belle City Hay and Ensilage Cutter is now acknowledged to be the King of Cutters,
because its points of merit over all others are many. The first and a very important faot is,
that this machine requireB one-third less power than any other, doing one-third more work in
same time. Seooud is the Safety Attachment, making all danger to the operator impossible,
as in feeding the cutter he will naturally aland by the lever seen in the different cuts. With
this lever he can stop the feed rolls as quick ae he can put his hand on the same, also reverse
the feed by this lever and set the feed rollB revolving backwards, olearing the mouth of the
cutter, ahould it become clogged, without using his hands in the operation. He can also
make four lengths of cut with this lever.

All these changes— slopping feed rolls, reversing feed rolls, and changing length of cut—
done without stopping the outter or the power ruDning it. We can all see how this lever

attachment could be the means of saving a man's lite or limb, as he has this cutter always
under perfeot eontrol.

The frames are made of the best selected hard woods, firmly bolted together with long rods
running through the frame, while most other feed on tiers are fastened only by the oheap wood
Borew. The irons are all well finished; boxeB for the shaftings are babbitted, and when this
machine is put together, it will run as smoothly as a lathe or other maohinery.

It is not necessary to bolt this cutter to the floor, it being so well balanced that it will not
ran all over the barn, as others do.

They are finished better than any other ontters in the world, and are strong, durable
and of great capacity, running with lees power than any other, and can be rnn at great Bpeed
with perfect safety.

The History of "Bell Alta-"

Having; seen a number of enqairies in regard to the pedi-
gree and history of "Bell Alta" in yonr paper, and as the
blood of this son of old "Belmont" courses through the veins
of a number of onr noted trotters, I think a short letter
from one who is in a position to know all the particulars

ould prove of interest to many of your readers.

Bell Alta was bred by S. I. Jammison of Santa Clara Coun-
ty, foaled August 14, 1S5S. He was a beautiful bay, sixteen
hands, by "William so n'= Belmont;" his dam was a dark bay
nnare, 16 hands, that was brought across the plains and pur-
chased from Captain Simons of Alvisa by Mr. Jammison.
This mare had the qualities of a thoroughbred, though little
was known of her breeding. She was an extraordinary road
animal, and could trot in three minutes to a buggy. Captain
Simons, who at that time kept a warehouse at Alvisa, had on
several occasions driven her from San Jose to San Francisco
and return in one day, and I believe that it is to his dam that
"Bell Alta" owed many of his good qualities.

Mr. Martin Mendenh&ll, then of Contra Costa County (now
of Livermore, Alameda County), purchased the colt when
eighteen months old from Mr. Jammison for $700. Mr.
Mendenhall broke him late in the spring as a three- year-old,
and drove him in a "spring wagon "until he commenced to
work him for the three-year-old race he was to have in the
following September. He was then hitched to a spriug seat
sulky, or rather a cart, weighing 150 pounds, in which he re-
ceived all his work, never being hitched to a track sulky un-
til -he started in his first race at San Jose. Mr. Mendenhall
had on his ranch a rudely constructed track, on which he
gave his pet the preliminary lessons. He started in his first
race at a District Fair in San Jose. The race was for three-
year-old colts, September, 1861. There were seven entries,
bat only three starters. His competitors were a half brother
of his by "Belmont" and a colt by "General Tajlor." The
three-year-old races in the olden days were two in three. He
easily won both heats, the time in the last heat being just
three minutes, he distancing both his opponents. Mr. Men-
denhall was then offered $3,500 for him, but the offer was
refused. He also took the diploma awarded for the finest
stallion. I might state right here whenever exhibited he
carried off first honors. On the old WMowb track, San
Francisco, as. a four year-old, was his next race. Again did
he have two contestants, and there seemed to be an under-
standing between the other two to down him at all hazards.
There were no societies and not many rules then save what
the drivers made, and a race generally resolved itself loto a
^go-as-you-please" contest. The late Jim Eoff, whom some
people say used to drive races against the Egyptian mum-
mies, was handling a mare by ' Dave Hill" out of "Lady
Vernon;" the other contestant was the somewhat famous
''Spotted Colt" from Sacramento. It was a desperate contest
over a rough track, and each of them had two heals to their
credit. When in the seventh heat "Bell Alta" won in the
fastest time of the race— 2:42. He was next trotted at Pa-
checo, Contra Costa County, in 1S64; when driven by his
owner, whose weight was 205 poundp, he won the stallion
race, and gaiDed a record of 2:37. He never had received
any work except what he got on his home track. He was
without doubt one of the best sons of "Belmont," was pure
gaited and very level headed, and if people in those days
had had the knowledge of training and care of trotters that
they now pussess, he would be one of the equine Btars of the
age. "Bell Alta" never had much opportunity to distinguish
himself in the stud as the mares he served were usually farm
mares of verj little, if any breeding. Yet he gained some
distinction, having sired "Henrietta, " 2 :22J. Her dam was
by "Peacock," a good horse, and said to be thoroughbred.
Mr. Corbott afterwards secured "Henrietta," and, I believe,
haB some of her produce at present. Mr. Valensin has in his

harem a very fine mare by "Arthurton," dam "Henrietta,"
that will be heard from as a broodmare.

Mr. Polheinous of Santa Clara County had a mare by
"Bell AHa" called "Josephine" that was very promising, and
could trot in 2:26, when she died with "epizootic." Her dam
was by a half thoroughbred horse called "John Lemon."
Mr. PolhemouB had refused $6,000 for her. Almost any of
his colts could trot a three-minute gait, and they made fine
road horses, and from their sale his owner derived a large
revenue. Mr. Mendenhall has but three of his get left, keep-
ing them as broodmares. A few years ago Mr. Mendenhall
disposed of him to a Mr. Sturgeon who resides at Hills
Ferry, San Joaquin County, where he was destroyed at the
age of thirty, ae he was unable to masticate his food. Thus
ended the life of a noble animal that did not have the oppor-
tunities he deserved. Yours truly, "Alxa-^"

Rancho Resaca.

By Grim.

If there is anything that adds a delicious seasoning to the
pleasure one has in travelling, it is the fact that business is
in no wise connected with the trip. I have just completed
such a journey, and it can confidently be said that in the
many years I have passed in this glorious State, there is not
a single instance that memory recalls where such a pleasaDt
time was had as that passed at Rancho Besaca.

"Remembar you must leave the copy paper and pencil at
home, for I want this to be a purely social call, and in no
sense to be considered a matter of business."

These were the instructions when I accepted an invitation
to pass a day with Col. Harry I. Thornton, at his charming
country residence, situated in the ravine, over the divide
from Berkeley. A nnre thoroughly enjoyable morning is
rarely seen in San Francisco than that on which we assem-
bled at the Market street ferry, the company consisting of
the Colonel. Harry Cresswell Esq., Mr. A. Lang of Calaveras.
Thos. F. Meagher, Norman Brough and your humble ser-
vant, all on pleasure bent.

A short journey brought us to Emery's station, where we
alighted to change cars, and our party was reinforced by Mr.
E. S. Culver, Secretary of the Blood Horse Association, who
was a welcome addition to our number. On a narrow guage
side track, we found in waiting a special train, which was to
convey a happy lot of picnicers to Oak Grove, which is in
close proximity to the Colonel's place, but an extra car, built
for observation solely, had been attached to accommodate
the Colunel and his guests.

As we passed through the delightful valley traversed by the
California and Nevada R. R , point after point of interest
was calied to our attention by our host, who took espeoial
pains, that no pi ice worthy of mention should be passed,
without receiving due recognition. Berkeley, Berryman's
and PeraltaPark, were speedily left behind, the magnificent
hotel now being built by Simuel O'Posen Curtis, standing
out in bold relief as we pass the latter place and acting as a
landmark on that great plain. Off to the east of San Pablo,
we make a run around the northern end of the mountain
ridge and wend our way in a southerly direction until we
reach Bancho Resaca, where Superintendent Swan is in
waiting with vehicles to convey us to the house, but the
distance is so short, that all prefer to walk, with the excep
tion of him with the bad feet, who," is forced to forego that
pleasure, and must needs accept a seat in (he wagou.

It is only some three hundred yards to the house, and we
are soon domiciled on the front porch, viewing as pretty a
landscape as can be seen anywhere in the State, and awaiting
the arrival of those who are coming on foot. And now a
word as to the surroundings. It is easily seen that the pro-
prietor has an eye to the beautiful, for the front portion of
the premises is laid out in gardens, the tall, massive euca'

lyptus trees being covered by old-fashioned ivy plants, cling,
ing to the trunks, and adding a charm that is seldom seen in
Northern homes, but can be witnessed frequently in the Sun.
ny South or in the old-fashioned homes that one sees so fre-
quently in England. Off to the left ii a splendid orchard, the
trees in which are laden down with luscious fruit, and here
comes the party, headed by the Colonel, who cordially invites
everyone to partake of that which may best suit his fancy.
California is the land of fruit, and is so recognized through-
out the Union, the Bay City being the great centre from
which are shipped thousands of tonB weekly to all parts ot
the country. Fruit can be had on every corner, and is dis-
played for sale in almost every other window in this great
city; yet there we stood in that orchard, pulling and eating
as though we had never seen pears, green gages or plums be.
fore in the whole course of our lives. And how sweet they did
taste. But we are admonished that dinner will be on the
table 'ere long, and room must be left forthe viands to follow.
We are taken to the large and commodious stable, where the
stallions are kept, Mr. Swan bringing out each of his pets in
turn for inspection, the first to claim our attention being that
grand race horse, Sobrante, who was cut down while in the
zenith of his glory by Ed McGinnis, at the spring meeting of
the Blood Horse Association last year. He will show the
effect of tbe injury as long as he lives, but the son of Kyrl6
Daly and Carrie C. should make a name for himself in the
stud.

It iB now a number of years since first I saw Oatcake,
thousands of miles from his present home, in the far off
Antipodes, and yet I knew him the moment he was brought
fiom his stall. There was the same lordly step and perfect
carriage, which first caused me to examine the equine beauty
in the colony of Victoria, once when he was being prepared
for a race there. He is a race horse from hoof to ears, and
impresses the beholder with that idea the moment he is seen.
I could almost wish that there was less daylight under him,
yet he is so strong and powerful that he seems to require all
the length of leg he possesses. His forelegs much resemble
that of the mighty Lexington, the circumference of the fore-
arm being very deceptive, as the bone is on the small order,
but the muscles and tendons are immense, showing him to
be a horse of enormous power. His get are very racy look,
ing, and it will be a surprise to me if we fail to hear from
the Resaca youngsters in 1891.

In an adjoining stable we find James Madison, for as the
Colonel says, "we have Clays and Washiogtons, Grants and
Knoxs, Clevelauds and Jeffersons, why Bhould we not have a
Madison?" And there he is, a well formed son of Anteeo,
2:16|, and Lucy Patchen by Geo. M. Patohen Jr. Large and
powerful, he would command the attention of the veriest
tyro in a moment, his massive make up, and easy graceful
motion, being seemingly in contradistinction. He has the
typical Anteeo head, and notwithstanding his immense size
has no* a graiu of C3arseness about him, and to add to his
many other qualifications can show better than a "thirty"
gait. In the course of a few days he will be taken to the
race track at Pleasanton along with a lot of other trotters,
where he will be prepared for a record.

I cannot l«t this occasion pass to state that I firmly believe
Col. Thornton has the finest Antevolo colt in the State. He
is a perfect model, and is the mo3t handsome colt of his age
that I have seen this season. Although only fifteen months
old, he would attract the attention of the connoisseur in
hors flesh immediately. I have heard of many likely looking
colts by this celebrated horse, but candor compels the asser-
tion that the Rancho Resaca will bear off the pelm for having
the best of them all. He is as true to the trot as a needle to
the pole, and if this is not the coming wonder I do do*
where to look for him. He is out of Alpha Mediuiu
ber of the well-known Happy Medium family, and is t
a credit to both sire aqd dam. Of the broodmare;.

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, We were escorted to the
train, saying good-bye to the genial Colonel and his obliging
nephew, Willie Thornton, with a 'U*inge of regret that the
parting hour had come ao span, but with the firm and abiding
conviction th^t our host bas.no" peer as an entertainer in th

A/Woaer's Troubles.

BY O. &.. SYKEfl.

"It ain't no.asetalkin', I'm 'boutsick of the airs some folks
puts Qa'^h/e'n they git a few dollars more'n other folks— an'
jesfcbe'cpa they hev got a mare that kin trot a little."
r'Tk^6 old farmer leaned on the rail-fence, and relieved him-
.fjeff of the above. I had stopped to ask him wbioh road was
the shortest way to Wayback, and aB he evidently had some-
thing he was burning to tell, I stopped to hear what it was.

"Yes," he went on, "them Smiths are agoin' ahead in great
style now, au'nothin" ain't good enough for 'em.bnt I've seen
the time when old Jack Smith didn't hev no horse at all,
muoh less one ez he could train to go in trottin' races.

"You see that house in the holler?" said tbe old man,
pointing to a pretty little farm-houBe not far distant; "well.
Jack Smith lives there, an' it ain't twelve months since he
carried a mortgage on bis place bigger'u mine, but now his
darter's learnin' to play the piauny, and the old man's got a
bank account.

"Long about spring, last year, Jack Smith's wife took a
notion to hev city boarders, an' bain' a3 Jack generally gives
his wife her own way — some folks sez he darsen't do no
otherwise — he let h"r git the house fixed up a bit, an' adver-
tise in the city papers. I seen what she pat in tbe papers; it
were sometbin' about comfortable accommerdashans durin'
the heated term, and pooty soon tbe boarders begin to come.
They wuz a bigh-toned lot, too; done nothin' but lay around
and git in the way of folks that wuz busy. One of the board-
ers in partickler wuz a fresh kind of feller, who had some-
thin' to do with hoss-raciu', and the fust thing he done wuz
to go to Smith's stables an1 look at his hosses.

"Smith hid a chestnut mare that he raised himself, payin'
a outraguB sum fur the services of a trottin1 stallion that wuz
goin' through here; bat Smith alius wuz a fool, anyway.
Well, thiB hoss-racin' feller seen the mare, an' put the notion
in old Jack Smith's head that she would make an everlastin'
trotter if she Lad proper trainin' an' attention. Jack had
gev the mare the name of Evangeline— Evangeline, by thun-
der! Sech nameB as Marthy an' Fanny wuz good enough fur
our mares; tat Smith is apt to be high-toned.

"Then there begun sech cattin' ups an' rumpusses as I
never seen before; it 'peared ter me ez if old Jack Smith wuz
gettin' a leetle aoftenin' of the brain, for he left his farm
work, an' he an' his dude boarder begin makin' fooU of
themselves, caperin' round wiih that mare Evangeline. They
put boots on tier feet, an' patent spreaders, an' made more
fuss over that mare than if she had been a thoroughbred, like
that bois Proctor Knott, that the papers talk so much of.

"By an' by I got feelin' sick to see sech fool capers; an' I
up au'-told Smith that tbe boarder wuz only workin' a game
on him, to git free drivin1 an' save the expense of a livery rig,
bnt he paid, no more 'tention to me than if I had never
spoken; fools never listen to sense, anyway. After that I
made up my mind not to say nuthin' more to him, but let
him find out to his sorrow what a fool he had been.

"That ere mare trotted an' trotted, anJ was entered for
several meetins in the fall, an' Jack Smith bought a leetle
bit of a sulky, which the boarder driv round in. I knowed
■very well tbe mares could not trot; Bhe b'longed to old Jack
Smith, and I've known him ever since I knowed anything,
an' how waz he goin' to hev a fast horse any more than
other folks here.

"The fresh boarder, though be wuz good for nuthin' else,
could handle the lines over the mare pooty slick, but he
must hev wore Mb watch oat timin' her like he did.

"At last the day of the fust race come, an* old Jaok Smith
an1 all his folks went to the race meetin' expectin' to come
back with their pockets bustiu' with wealth. I didn't go to
the race, fur I knowed as Jack would come sneakin' back
lookin' like a fool, but 'long toward bedtime they come borne
an' Jack told me a yarn about the mare comin' in fust, an'
as how he had won a bar'l of money. I didn't b'lieve him
till I seen in the Podunk Screecher that Mr. J. Smith's
Evangeline waB fust. The horses that trotted against Evan-
geilae wuz rather Blow, I reckon, else Jack Smith wouldn't
hev wou no race.

"Poorty soon the mare wuz to Tace again* an' I went down
to see the races. Evangeline cams out, an' Jack sez to me:
'Bat on my mare, she goin' to win sure.' There was power-
ful fine horses in the race, an' I knowed as Jack Smith's
mare had no more chance of winnin' than she had of fiyin,'
even if her name wuz Evangeline. There wuz a bay hoss
entered which more'n took my fancy, an' I went an' backed
him fur all I wuz worth.

"The hosses wuz started off, an' Evangeline went to the
front an' led all the way round, but she jumped in the air in
the last stretch, an' begfin ruunin' like a two-year-old Bteer,
when my bay hoss come up like the price of coal, an, won
the nrst heat. I tell you it made me feel pooty good, an'
you'd onghter beard me whoop; I hollored for joy an' begun
tigurin' what I should do with the money.

"Old Jack Smith's face turned whiter'ii milk, an' he looked
mighty sick, fur I heard as how all the money he bad in the
world woz on his mare. I didn't feel no pity for him; folks
onghter know enough not ter fool their money away.

"The next heat the dude boarder, who wuz drivin' kept
the mare pooty steady, an' she come in fust. Next heat she
come in ahead too, an' I wuz sick of seein' the mare, and
Jack Smith too.

"The bay hoss wasn't wath the oats he eat, far he never
done nothin' of any account all the afternoon, an' I'm
blamed if that fresh boarder of Jack Smith's didn't win all
followin' heats. The money I put on the bay horse wuz
gone as complete as Charley Rosr, an' Jnck Smith didn't
seem to keer 'bont it. I heerd though, that he won twict
what would pay the mortgage on his farm.

Since then that mare has been in more races than they is
days in the week, an' Smith haB kep' on winuin', but I ain't
been to no more races. I'm more'n sick of mares an' races,
an' Smiths as well.

"There's that Smith gal ponndin' the pianny now, an' I'll

et the hired gal has to do the churiu' all alone.

"Good-bye stranger, ef ye're goin'; ef ye come this way
again, drop in an' see me; I'm reariu' a colt which is jest
goin' ter knock spots offen alt the Evangelines in creation.
Jack Smith ain't the only one ez kin make money outen

owniu' fast hosaes." — Horseman.

Racine at the Bay District-
Last Saturday afternoon the racing season of 1SS9 began in
real earnest on the Pacific Coast, the attractions beluga purse
for 2:30 trotteis and a match race between Mr. G. Valensin's
Simmocolon and Mr. Frank Burke's Wanda. The 2:30 purse
was a fill-up affair, the 2:20 class failing to materialize in the
entry book in requisite numbers to satisfy Secretary Hinch-
man. The attendance was very meager, there bein£ hardly
a corporal's guard present, figuratively Bpeaking, and the
sport did not justify more. Mr. Hiuchman stated to a repre-
sentative of tbe Breeder and Sportsman that for many
yeats tbe Bay District Association had opened up the circuit,
and at every early meeting had lost from $1,500 to $2,500.
lhere must be a reaBon for this, and one does not need to
look very far for a reasonable excuse for the horsemen who
do not make entries at the Bay District. There are at the
present time about one hundred trottiDg horses at Stockton,
fifty at Napa, sixty or seventy at Petaluma, and forty to fifty
at Santa Rosa, not counting those at Sacramento, San Jose,
FreBno, Chico and Marysville, and yet there have not been
entries enough to till but a very few of the advertised events.
Talks with prominent horsemen elicit the information that at
this season of the year they are afraid to take their horses
from these places, where it is extremely warm, and run the
chances of their getting "off' at the Bay District, where it
is bo cool. It seems the height of folly that the Directors
Bhould give a meeting under such circumstances as the races
cannot be expected to fill, and it is only a waste of money to
try and force the meetings when the pubho will not attend.
Among tbe prominent patrons of tbe turf who were pres-
ent the following were noticed: Ariel Lathrop, W. S. Ho-
bart, Irvin Ay res G. Valensin, Dr. Latham, A. C. Dietz,
CaDt. Mathews, Wm. Dunpby, ex-Harbor Commissioner
Wise, C. H. Cory, Frank H Burke, S. Gamble, T. Williams,
C. C. Bemis, J. Dustin, E. J. Buckley, Mr. Kerrigan, E. Cnm-
mius, Morgan Hill, Ira Ramsdell, Cris Smith, Chas. Mclver,
Alex McCord, Mr. Salisbury, A.Gonzalez. DickMaudlebaum,
Harry Adler, John McKerron, A. B. and J. D. Spreckles,
Morris Schmidt, T. D. Riordan and Mr. Crittenden of stable
fame. The judges for the day were Colonel Strader of Lex-
ington, Ky., Col. Fred Vaughan and Capt. Munson, the
timers' places being occupied by O. A. Hickok, Charles Mar-
vin and W. H. Bradbury. At the appointed hoar the matched
horBes were brought out and warmed up a trifle, the colt
Simmocolon showing up lame, but this did not discourage
his followers, and they found it difficult to get $12 on the
mare against $25 for the colt. Prior to the first heat but a
few poold were sold, the majority deeming it a foregone con-
clusion that the lately imported Kentucky colt would wiu.
After four attempts the word was given, and away they went,
Wanda leading. On the turn Simmocolon broke, but caught
quickly. Still Wanda managed to put four open lengths of
daylight between herself and the colt by the time they arrived
at the qanrter pole At the half she must have been twenty
lengthB to the good, with Simmocolon acting badly. As the
pair came down the home stretch Vioget, the driver of Wan-
da, eased up a little, yet managed to beat tbe colt almost a
length in 2:26.

The second heat was in direct contract "to the first, Sim-
mocolon taking the lead at the start and was never headed,
Vioget evidently not pushing the mare for the heat, and
allowing McConnell to win as hs liked in 2:29J.

Rumors were now rife that Wanda had "quit," that she
could not go a little bit, but this was only beard from those
who knew not whereof they spoke, for the mare cooled out
nicely, while Simmocolon was in dire distress, the strained
muKcles in his forearm giving him great trouble.

When the word was given for the third beat, tbe Valensin
entry tried to mnke the pace, but broke on the tni-o, and the
mare caught up to him before tbey reached the quarter,
from there they trotted together as a double team to the
half mile mile pole where both made slight breaks, the colt

catching the easier of the [two was fooq several lengths in
the lead. When the mare settled she closed the gap very
quickly, and at the head of the homestretch they were on
even terms again. The clip was a merry one, aud too hot
for the son of Simmonds, as he broke at the drawgate and
Wanda won the heat in 2:29£.

The fourth and last heat of the race brought a surprise to
the spectators as Mr. Burke at tbe request of several gentle-
men, substituted Mr. Marvin behind Wanda, whereupon Mr.
Valensin had McConnell step down and out aud Mr. Hickok
waB given the reins over the Keotuckiau. This heat was
simply a repetition of the others, Wanda took the lead and
whenever Hickok tried to force the colt, could not keep him
on his feet. Although the mare had a commanding lead
when she came into the homestretch, Mr. Hickok tried to
have Simmocolon do his best, and for an eighth of a mile
brought him along at a 2:22 gait, but the mare proved the
winner of the heat and race in 2:33£.

the last two heats Patch Allen broke at very opportune mo-

Luck in Racine.

It is odd to notice how luck comes in Btreaks, says Rapier
in the London Sporting and Dramatic News. For instance,
last year the Duke of Westminster won well over £18,000 in
stakes; in 1SS6 he won well over $21,000; this year, if my
memory serves me, he has scarely won a race; indeed, speak-
without the book, I do not remember that he has won any-
thing. The Dake of Beaufort was to the fore with nearly
£16,000 the year before last, and this season, ao far, the
light blue and white hoops have never once been in front.
From £16,000 in 18S7 Mr. Manton dropped to just a quarter
of the amount last year; and Prince Soltykoff, who won near-
ly £8,000 in 18S6, and £9 000 last year, only mustered £932
in the year between. Still more striking is Mr. W. J. Legh,
who has for years been well over £2,000, who last year won
over £4,000, but in 1S37 dropped to £239 153. Mr. Abing-
ton again, won last year some £5,000, a third of his net gain
in stakes the year before These are all owners who do their
best to get good horses, whose BtudB are carried on with
sbrewdnesB, knowledge, observation, and large expenditure,
who, in fact, do everything that can be done ro ensure success.
It will be seen that there is no royal road to victory on the
Turf. _

Australian Trotters.

It Ib not generally known, perhaps that trotting is under-
stood and trotting races liberally patronized in Australia, says
Col. Edwards. There is a mile track at Elsternwick, Mel-
bourne, under the National Trotting Association of America.
A good roadster will 6ell in Sidney for $500 up to $1,500,
according to the style and speed. There is no difficulty in
disposing of trotters, although the great pastime — trottiDg
races — has not yet grown to be a rage. There are plenty of
good horses in Australia, although few persons there are
skilled in training or driving trotters. All the trotting blood
in Australia was originally importod from this country. The
first importation was in 1865, when three horses were sent
over from California. One died a few days after landing.
The other two were by Geo. M PAtchen. One is dead, but
the other is still living not far from Sidney; he must be near
thirty years old.

A horse named President Grant, after the General, was
imported in 1860. He is still Btanding at BathhurBt, 140
miles from Sidney. This horse was bred by Dr. L. Herr, of
Lexington, Ky., and is by Mambrino Patchen, dam Olivia,
Ajax was imported about the same time as President Grant.
Ajax was purchased for S2.500, and trotted a half mile after
reaching Sidney in lilOh- This horse went to Melbourne
and was nearly starved. He became diseased in tbe feet and
was destroyed. All the produce of this horse are said to be
pacers. Daniel Boone, an American trotter, was imported in
1869. He is said to be by Edwin Forrest, dam by old Sir
Henry, out of a Messenger mare. Daniel Booue died in 1877.
He left some colts which are trotters, Boccaccio, by Wood-
ford, dam by Gage's Logan, was imported in 1880, and in
188ihe trotted the mile track at Melbourne in 2:39 J. In
SeDtember, 1881, Vermont Jr, by Vermont, went to Australia.
He trotted a mile in 2:34£ in 1882.

In September, 1832. the geldings Richard, Midnight and
Oliver, went from this country to New South WaleB. Oliver
trotted at Melbourne in 2:33£. Midnight is now being driv-
en on the road in and around Sidney. Subsequently there
were imported Swamp Angel, 2:34]; Ella Chieftain, by Chief-
tain; Clara and Daisy, both by Elmo, and Violetta by Echo.
After these went Commodore, 2:23,. and Defiance (formerly a
pacer), 2:24. About the latter part of 1SS2, Honesty won the
ohampion trot at Victoria, in 2:30$. The owner of Boccaccio
imported seven mares to Victoria, the best being Sylph by
Reliance. This mare trotted a mile in 2:43. In September,
1S84, two road mares were imported from " California, both
by Speculation 928, and in foal to Bob Mason, son of Echo
-ii'i'2. Childe Harold 414 was imported from America. One
of bis colts, twenty months old showed a mild in 3:30.

There have been three shipments to New Zealand within
the past eighteen months, the most noteworthy of them be-
ing Vancleve 2438, Irvington 379, Blackwood Abdallab, ty
Hanover, and Pinole Patchen, by Liberto Patchen, dam by
Morgan Tucker. An imported bay mare called Folly was
last year trotting on the Sidnejr track. An advertisement
reads: "Merryhawk, sire of Moua, 2:55;], by Ace of Clubs
(imported) out of Blackhawk Belle, the celebrated trotting
mare imported from America to England by Lord Berwick,
and afterward pnrohased at immense cost for Australia,
where she arrived with Cambridge Chief and Flyiug Mor-
gan."

Developed vs. Undeveloped Sires.

■Written for The Beeedee and Sportsman.

That an undeveloped stallion is the inferior of a developed
horse would seem an incontrovertible proposition, and it
might be asked. Why attempt to demonstrate something,
the truth of which nobody denies?

The fact of the case is, however, that there are many
horsemen who contend that the sire without a record and
without much speed is the equal of the sire with a fast rec-
ord, so far as a producer of trotters is concerned. In sub-
stantiation of this valuable opinion, the}' cite Eysdyk's
Hambletonian and Blue Bull. These two stallions are the
rock upoQ which they stand and hurl defiance at the oppo-
sition. These two stallions are as balm of Gilead to ,the
wounded soul.g

Men of better information and somewhat deeper research
add to these two tbe names of Harold, Dictator, Electioneer,
Bed Wilkes and Alexander's Belmont. None of these horses
have records, and, consequently, these gentlemen have ar-
rived at the conclusion that they were endowed with but
little speed. This list is a very formidable one, and is cal-
culated to duly impress the superficially informed with the
great knowledge possessed by these gentlemen. I propose,
however, to prick the bubble.

I should attempt t-j show that developed horses produce
more uniform speed, more extreme speed, and more lasting
campaigners than undeveloped sires; also, that with but
two exceptions there is no instance upon record of an un-
developed, stallion siring extreme speed; and in one of those
instances the trotter was evidently a ''sport," as none of his
brothers attained any prominence. This horse which I
denominate a "sport" or scratch trotter — and he was a great
one — is Rants, 2:13£. Before going further into this subject
I wisb to say that a record is not a necessary adjunct to a
"developed" horse, as a stallion may possess great speed
and not have a record. Therefore, I class all stallions
known to possess great speed as developed sires.

My reference to Jttarus as a scratch trotter may awaken ill
feeling in some quarter, yet I propose to prove that such is
undeniably the fact. He was sired by Cooklin's Abdallah,
a horse of unknown breeding, his dam beiDg Nancy Awful
by Telegraph.

John Splau, the man who gave Barus his record, and
campaigned him from the Atlantic to the Pacific, has the
following to say regarding the sire of Karus and his owner.
"Away back in war times, or rather just after the Rebel-
lion, there lived in one of tbe prettiest parts of Long Island
and with a farm overlooking the Sound, an old gentleman
named R. B. Conklin. In his younger days Mr. Conklin
had been a stage-carpenter, and, in the pursuit of his trade,
drifted to New York, of which city he was a resident many
years. * * *

*\t>eing an economical man, as well as an industrious one,
Mr. Conklin had saved some portions of his * earnings, and
by the time he had reached the meridian of life was the pos
sessor of a fine little farm at Greenport, Long Island, where
he began in a modest way the raising of a few colts. Dur-
ing his trip to New York City Mr. Conklin had noticed in
one of the markets there a big bay stallion, not a finely
finished horse in any sense, but one of wonderful power and
resolution, that fulfilled the menial duty of hauling a fish
wagon. At this time the fame of Eysdyk's Hambletonian
was just being made, and there were several of his sons that
were siring numbers of fast trotters. Mr. Conklin believed
from the formation of the bay stallion that drew the fish
wagon, that he was a descendant of Abdallah, the sire of
Rysdj k's Hambletonian, and with this fancy in his mind he
bought the horse, then well advanced in years and
possessed of no pleasant temper, and took him to his Long
Island farm. (I wish to state rjarenthetically that when any
man can tell a horse's breeding by his formation or by a
tape line he is entitled to the most distinguished considera-
tion, and I gaze upon him with mingled feelings of admira-
tion and consternation.)

"Mr. Conklin had previously to this time secured a mare
called Nancy Awful This mare was by a thoroughbred
hurse called Telegraph. * * *

"In due course of time the daughter of Telegraph was
bred to the stallion called Conklin's Abdallah, and the old
gentleman predicted that the produce would be the grtatest
trotter the world had ever seen."

In this prediction the old gentleman was certainly cor-
rect, although upon what he based his belief does not
appear. That Rarus was a race horse of high order is
attested by the fact tlat he trotted 185 heats^below 2:30.
He is the only first class tt otter who sprung from an un-
developed site and a horse of no speed.

I will now return to a consideration of Harold, Dictator,
Electioneer. Red Wilkes and Alexander's Belmont. To this
list I will add Goldsmith's Volunteer.

Harold is the sire of Maud S, 2:0S| and twenty-one
others that have beaten 2:30. He showed plenty of speed,
though he has no record.

Dictator is the sire of extreme speed, as witness Jay-Eye-
See, 2:10, fhallas, 2: 13J, Director, 2:17, and seventeen oth-
ers that have scored records in 2:30 or better. In a private
letter I received from his owner, Mayor McDowell, of Ash-
land, Ky., he assures me Dictator has gone quarters in 34
seconds, a 2:16 gait. The standing of Mayor McDowell pre-
cludes the possibility of this being untrue, and it is my hum-
ble judgment that if Dictator had not been a horse of phe-
nomenal speed he would not have sired such a trio as Jay-
Eye-See, Phallas and Director.

Electioneer is justly considered the greatest sire of extreme
speed in youngsters that the world has ever seeD. He is the
Bire of Manzanita 2:16, Anteeo 2:16i, Adair 2:17J, Lot Slo-
cnm2:l7£. Sunol (2 years) 2.18. Wildflower (2 years) 2:21,
Fred Crocker (2 years) 2:25i, Palo Alto Belle (2 years) 2:28$,
Maiden (3 years) 2:23, Bell Boy (3 years) 2:19£, Hindo Rose
(3 years) 2:19^. Suisun also acquired a two-year-old record
of 2:30 .', and is considered by some mea to be to-day among
the fastest horses in the United Statts. Aside Irom the
above list, Electioneer is the sire of 31 performers who have
entered the "charmed circle." Since his advent to Palo Alto
Farm it is authoritively stated that he could speed a 2:20
gait, and if I am not mistaken he has gone a trial mile in
2:24.

Red Wilkes is the sire of Prince Wilkes, 2:14|, Phil
Thompson 2:16|, and seventeen others inside 2:30. He has
no record. It is said that Crit. Davis drove this horse a mile
better than 220. He is universally recognized as a great
stock horse.

Alexander's Belmont was sired by Alexander's Abdallah,
his dam being by Mambrino Chief. He is the sire of Nut-
wood, 2:18^, Wedgewood, 2:19, and nineteen more trotters.
He was a fast horse, being at one time considered the finest
stallion in the Blue Grass Country. Anent his sire, Abdal-
lah, 15, there is a bit of history not generally known. I shall
digress sufficiently to give it. He is famous as the sire of
Goldsmith Maid, 2:14. He was first known as Edsall's Ham-

bletonian, but when subsequently purchased by R. A. Alex-
ander of tbe celebrated Woodbnrn Farm, was christened by
him Alexander's Abdallah. He was a valuable and highly
thought of horse. On the 2nd day of February, 1865, about
6 o'clock p. m., a baud of guerrillas, under one Marion, visit-
ed Woodbnrn and took several horses, among them Bay
Chief, a sou of Mambrino Chief, and Abdallah. This band
encamped a lew mileB from Woodbnrn, and early the next
morning were attacked by a Federal force, and most of the
horses recaptured. Bay Chief was shot in several places,
and shortly afterward died. Abdallah was seized by a Fed-
eral soldier, who refused to surrender him. The horse was
unshod and in no condition for severe usage. Nevertheless,
this soldier rode the horse fifty mileit over a beastly road,
and when he gave out he turned him out upon the roadside.
The horse soon after contracted pneumonia and died. I
would have been delighted to form one of a partytoputa
noose round this Fedeial soldier's neck and see how far I
could lift him from the earth his presence disgraced.

The last stallion in this given list iB Volunteer. He is
known to all as a sire of game and lasting horses. He is at
present the sire of 2S trotters and pacers that have succeeded
in beating two minutes and thirty seconds. Some of the best
known of his get are St. Julien, 2:11£, Dnver, 2:19A, Domes-
tic, 2:20i, Bodiue, 2:19i, Alley, 2:19, Gloster, 2:17", Powers,
2:21, Sweetness, 2:21£, Unolala, 2:22|, Amy, 2:20$, and Wil-
liam H. Allen, 2:23^. This is a list of race-horses, every one,
not an exception. They have all beaten 2:30 from 16 to 74
times, Sweetness filling the first place and St. Julien the sec-
ond. Volunteer haB no record, but was driven a mile on a
half-mile track at Goshen, N. ¥., in 2:36 to wagon, and was
capable of much faster time.

I shall now take up a list of trotting stallions which it will
be conceded embraces about all the prominent families.
Foremost among these stallions is George Wilkes, 2:22. The
citation of this hoise alone would prove a death blow to the
"undeveloped" theory. Here was a race-horse, any way
hitched; to harneBs, to wagon, or under saddle. He has
founded one of the greatest families of trotters — great in
speed, gameness, and the capacity to "breed on." He pro-
duced all his tiotters and sired all his trotting sons (who are
in tarn well known stallions) after he was well along in years.
When firBt taken to Kentucky he was called a rat, being a
small horse. The people who ridiculed him in the beginning,
saw the day dawn when they were glad to do him reverence.
George Wilk> s is the sire of Harry Wilkes, 2:13A, Guy Wilfces,
2:15£, and 63 more trotters and pacers that have covered a
mile in 2:30 or better. He has 29 sons tbat have produced SI
performers.

Blue Bull 75 has many times been quoted as a wonderful
sire of trotters. As I have previously stated, he is one of the
stallions to which the adherents of the undeveloped doctrine
pin their faith. They have hiB name emblazoned upon their
escutcheons in large letters, and when they desire to exter-
minate the foe, they turn its face upon them. I would be
really glad to leave them one prop, bat I cannot do even that.
After investigating considerable correspondence relative to
Blue Bull, I find that he was a phenominally fast horse at
the pacing gait. This is now given np by all authorities to
be the truth. Blue Bull ib the sire of 53 trotters and 5 pacers.
The fact of a pacing horse, with no positive trotting blood in
his composition, Biring only 5 pacers out of a total of 58 2:30
performers, seems to me the strangest thing with which I am
acquainted. Fully one-tbird the trotters he sired were from
mares of unknown breeding, and mo3t of them had little
breeding had it been known. 1 hie, however, did not keep
this pacing horse from siring trotters with Bingular unifor-
mity.

Almont 2:39| is one of the great sires, fl. T. Helm states
in his "American Trotting Horses" that he has seen Almont
go a 2:20 gait. He is the Bire of thirty-two trotters and two
pacers.

I shall now append a list of stallions with records that
have gained distinction as sires of trotters. This I will give
in brief.

Whipple's Hambletonian 2:39£ has 14 trotters in the list.
Daniel Lambeat 2:41 has sired 30 odd; Edward Everett
2:38 has sired 13; Happy Medium 2:32^ has placed 38 trot-
ters in the 2:30 class; Alexander's Abdallah 2:42, has sired
6 trotters, and has 13 sons that have sired 95 trotters; Aber-
deen, 2:46. has sired 16 trotters; Green Bashaw, 2:35, has
Bired 16; Vermont Black Hawk 2:42, has sired 4; Strader's
C. M. Clay 2:35£, sired 2; Columbus 2:35£ has sired ll;Erics-
son 2:30£, 6; Gea. Benton 2£U, 10; Gen. Knox 2:31$. 14;
Dorcey's Golddust 2:43, 4; and they were race horses, i, e.,
Fleety Golddust 2:20, Indicator 2:23ft Lucille Golddust 2:I6|
and Rolla Golddust 2:25. Mambrino Pilot 2:34£ has seven
in the list: The Moor 2:37, 5; Pocahontas Boy 2:31, 10;
Jay Gould 2:20£, has sired 14; Ethan Allen 2:25£, has sired
6, and his sonB have produced 66; Geo. M. Patchen 2:23 has
sired 4; Geo. M. Patchen Jr. 2:27. 9; Gov. Sprague 2:20*. 16;
Nutwood, 2:I8f, 21; Onward 2:2o|, 14; Phil Sheridan 2:26$,
10; Sentinel, 2:29|, 8; Sultan 2:24; 16, among whom is Stam-
boul2:14i; Thomas Jefferson 2:23, S; Wedgewood 2:19,5,
the star o"f the family being Favonia 2:15; Woodford Mam-
brino 2:21 J, has sired 11 trotters; Winthrop Morrill 2:45, has
sired 9 inside 2:30.

A striking example of great speed producing great speed,
is witnessed in the stallion Sidney 2:19$. He is in most re-
spects, the most wonderful horse that ever lived, of his age.
I have seen this horBe go a quarter of a mile in 31 seconds,
and a half in 1:05. He is a pacer, though bred in the stoutest
of trotting lines. Everybody remembers Goldleaf and Adon-
is, the three-year-old pacers, who astonished the world by ob-
taining records last year of 2:15 and 2:14} respectively, This
horse is alBO the sire of Fleet, yearling record 2:36, George
V. 2:57 A as a yearling, and several others with a graat flight
of speed, the stallion Memo being probably the most con-
spicuous, ftow, does any man believe that these two three-
year-olds would have turned ont such wonders, provided
their sire could not go better than 3:30? Geo. Wilkes sired
some rather lively "sidewbeelers" but none of them have as
fast records when aged horses as Goldleaf and Adonis have
as colts.

I consider it useless to extend this article further, as I have
conclusively shown that in almost every instance speed
comes only from speed, or from a sire whose ancestors were
fast and highly bred. It can also be seen that extreme speed
is transmitted, 99 times out of 100, by horses of extreme
speed, and never uniformity by horses without it.

In Almont, Dictator, Happy Medium, Volunteer, Ethan
Allen, Electioneer, Geo. Wilkes, Gov. Sprague, Nutwood,
Woodford, Mambrino and Seeley's American Siar. We have
about all the fundamental trotting speed this country can
produce. Five of them have fast records, and were cam-
paigners of great merit. The other five could all trot a 2:20
gait, with one exception, and that horse showed 2:35 to the
pole many years ago, when 2:35 was considered fast.

Finally, it is preferable to breed to a fast horse, if yon
would raise a trotter, not alone from the point of speed, but
because the racing instinct possessed by the developed stal-

lion, would pass probably to thd colt, as it is my belief that
acquired characteristics breed on, the same as inherent ones.

What are the dimensions of a regulation mile track?

For a mile track draw a line through an oblong center 440
yards in length setting a stake at each end . Then draw a line
on either side of the first line, exactly parallel with and 440
yards from it, setting stakes at either end of them. You
will then have an oblong square 440 yarJs long and 280 yards
wide. At each end of these three lines yon will now set
stakes. Now then fasten a cord or wire 140 yards long to
the center stake of your parallelogram, and then describe a
half circle, driving stakes as often as }ou wish to set a fence-
post. The half circle commencing at one side and extended
to the other, will measure 440 yards. When the circle is
made at both ends of your parallelogram you will have two
straight sides that measure 440 yards each, and two circles of
exactly the same length, which measured three feet from the
fence will be exactly a mile. The turns should be thrown up
an inch to the foot.

A Memorial.

The package was addressed to "Mrs. Daniel Lambert, Middle-
bury, Vt.,"and nodimbtwas sent in good faith, tbe managers
of tbe obituary mill having their minds on men, and not on
horseB; but as the Daniel Lambert who died -July S, left sev-
eral hundred widows, tbe post master waB at a loss to make a
proper delivery, and compromised by buying the card him-
self. I mentioned thiB queer blunder to a friend wboBe
mind is on horses, and not on men, and it reminded him
that tie had read in a paper a short lime ago that Wilkie Col-
lins was threatened with paralysis, and it was several days
before he disabused his mind of the impression that it re-
ferred to General Howard's stock horse, and realized that the
famous novelist was the unfortunate one.

"Walter A. Chester has the following good thing in the our-
rent numher of the Turf Field and Farm:

There is a concern in this country which makes a business
of noting the death of people who are prominent in their
community, preparing a memorial card and sending it to the
nearest surviving relative, in the hope of obtaining an order
for a number of copies to be sent to the friends of the de-
ceased, A few days since one of these came to the Middle-
bury, Vt., postoffice, a heavy blauk card, with the following
inscription upon it in gilt letters:
There is no death'

What seems so Is transition.
This life of mortal breath

Is bntaeubnrbof tbe lifeelysian,
Whose portal we call death.

The Sucker Bettor.

It ib the small bettors — those who "go it blind" and "play"
every race — who serve to fatten the pockets of the book-
makers. The turfmen and plungers usually form a very
tough game, and while thpy lose heavily at times, they
'make a killing" whenever they strike a good thing. If bet-
tois could reBist the temptation to play every race and wait
quietly until they saw a good thing, indeed, might tbe book-
makers lot be an unhappy une. The temptation to gamble is
bo strong and the fever so high, however, that nine out of
ten go after everything in sight, and about that proportion
get hopelessly stranded. A favorite system of betting with
those who want to lose but a small umouut if luck is against
them and sweep everything if fortune is favorable is to ' par-
ley" their money through the board. This is to bet a small
amount on tbe first race, and if it wins to pat the entire pro-
ceeds on the next race, and so on through the entire board.
The amount which can be won in that way is astonishing if
all the horses picked are the right ones, which does not occur
very often. A well known speculator once picked five win-
ners the night before the races and marked them on a slip of
paper, intending to follow the plan named above, starting
with $25. When he reached the track, however, he received
information which led him to cast his own judgment aside,
and he quit loser on the day. A friend who had been given
the tip "and apreed to play it aa suggested, followed the
original plan. When he reached the racecourse he had $25.
When he left it he carried away S7 000, and the original
selector of the good thing went home with him $200 loser. —

Fruit Prospects.

Written for tbe Breedeb and Spobtsman.

The leason opened up rather doubtfully as to prices, both
in the East and at home. This was due, in a great extent, to
poor, over-ripe fruit being shipped, together with other cir-
cumstances hardly understood, as there was a light crop of
our firBt fruit, the cherry. Prices are now better at Chicago,
our main distributing point for all varieties, and the indica-
tions now are that they will probably be maintained. There
may be a drop when the bulk of the peatB are shipped, but it
is expected thai, with the facilities of both Fruit Unions, if
they do not canse a conflict, which would be disastrous to
both sides, the producers will reap a fair profit. Our markets
are yearly extending in the East for green fruits, but what
the shipper needs mostly is cheaper railroad transportation,
which has been reduced from time to time as the shipments
and prices demanded it, but the railroad is yet the chief
gainer by a long ways on every car of frnit shipped, and tbe
producers will have to have lower rates on both slow freieht
and express trains. Let them kick vigorously, as they have
done in the past, show their figures and their account sales,
the cost of running their orchards and vineyards. The rail-
road folks will see their profiis and their losses, but whether
they will lower the rate at once is another matter. However,
it is but a question of time when it will come about. Owing
to the failure of table grapes throughout the East, our grape
shippers can not help but reap a rich harvest thiB Beasoo,
especially in the New York and Boston markets. Taking it
altogether, the orohardist will have a very fair season if pres-
ent indications hold good.

Hints on Fruit Packing.

Written fob the Breeder and Sportsman

As a starter, see that your fruit is we'l assorted, according
to size and quality, whether it be apples, pears, peaches or
plums. As a general thing, make three sorts, the first to be
the largest and free from blemish; large fruit, if bruised or
scabby, Bhould not be placed in thiB lot or shipped at all.
The second quality takes in tbe medium-sized, clear-skinned
specimens, while the third sort consists of the smaller fruit.
Large and not too scabby fruit may be placed in this lot, but
bruised specimens, no matter of what size, should be throwo
out altogether, to be either dried or fed to stock, but should
never be shipped under any circumstances, as a few poor
specimens will spoil the sale of the whole box, no matter how
fine the larger portion of the fruit may be. Extremely small
fruit should also be thrown out. Good looks is what sells
your fruit, no matter what the quality may be. This has
been proved in numbers of instances, and is beiDg iurtbir
proved as the imporlaoce of the fruit industry increases. As
au example, tako tbe Flame de Tokay grape. Why is it that
it invariably brings the highest quoted price, whether in the
East or at home? It's not tbe quality of tbe grape, (or the
Tokay is oue of our most insipid and tasteless grapes in the
whole catalogue. The reason is simply because it possesses
a bigh color and is an ornament for the table, making a tire
effect wherever placed, and because it is showy people will
consume almost as many as a great many other varieties;
but tuko some of the smaller and not bo highly colored vari-

ties and they bring a lesB price, but possess a flavor un-
equaled by most of the larger table grapes. It's the same
with other fruits. Oar popular shipping prove the Gros
d'Agen has demonstrated this. The largest apples, whether
they have a good flavor or not, will bring from a dollar up
more per box thau the aveiage size. The coarse but showy
Pound pea sells readily on account of its si2e, possessing, aa
it does, little or no taste. These examples will tend to show
that the looks and not the quality of fruit will sell it to the
best advan age. It's the same with" dried fruit, also Small
black, sun-dried apricots are often pronounced better in fla-
vor alongside of fine large bleached ones double the size, yet
when sold will bring about one-third the price that the sul-
phured ones are sold at. Modes of packing vary almost as
much, as the different ways of cultivating, pruning, etc.
Every orchardist has his own way of packing peaches, an-
other a particular way of shipping apricots, and all claim
that theirs is the best. Now, the best way of packing is
that which is done at the least expense, and which shows
the fruit up in good style, enabling it to sell at the best ad-
vantage. Packing determines the price of the fruit to a
greater or less extent, and it very otten pays to spend a few
cents extra on a box if it therebj' sells for enough more, as
it invariably does with good mereban table fruit. One would
think that if a variety of fruit be really fine that as long as
it reached market unabused, not paying any attention to it s
appearance in the way it is placed, that a box of equal
weight, whether layered and topped off or thrown loosely in
tbe box, should bring the same price. That is evidently
what a great many of our orchardists think at any rate.
Take a walk among the commission houses early in the
morning, when the fruit can be seen to the best advantage.
You will find that a great many of the shippers have fol-
lowed the theory just mentioned — fruit loose in the boxes
and baskets, in every shape, small, scabby, mixed in with
large, fine-grained specimens, while there is no end of
bruised fruit. Here and there yon will see evidences of
really neat packing, and if you could see tbe account sales
and note the results the difference would be surprising,
that which is sorted and packed bringing from twenty-five
to fifty rjer cent more than the loose lots, which are gener-
ally taken off the merchants' hands by the peddlers and
canners for whatever they will bring. Of course, there are
large lots shipped daily in sixty-pound boxes, sent loose for
the canners. For them it is not necessary that it be packed
in any particular way, as they will only pay so much and no
more for the fruit, anyway. The city fruit stores want that
which looks well, so that it will set off their stands and at
the same time sell readily for a good price; and they are
willing to pay a higher price for such fruit, while the ship-
ments to outside towns from this niu-ket must consist of
the best The ways of packing that are mentioned will be
found the simplest and least expensive and a great deal bet-
ter than no packing at all. Simply piling the fruit in a box
and nailing the cover on is not the proper name for packing;
it is simply slouching the work and is the poorest kind of
economy. Boxes are better than baskets as a general thing,
even for short shipments, and should be made as light as
possible, consistent with the weight of the fruit. For pit
fruits, such as apricots and plums, in packing for the home
market, reverse the box— that is, turn it upside down so
that what would generally be taken for the bottom of the
box is the top. Place a half sheet of common brown paper
on the face of the box first. This prevents the dust from
gathering right on the top layer. Either sort as yon pack
or as it is picked from the tree. Have the box in front and
the fruit that you are packing on the left; then pass from
the left hand to the right to form the top layer, placing the
rows, turning the blush of the fruit towards what will be
the top of the box; place it in reasonably t;ght, but do not
squeeze it so that it will bruise. There is always a certain
amount of spring in fruit, and this should be taken advan-
tage of in packing, so when nearing the side of the box take
your left hand and draw the whole row close up; then place
the last in this space. Wheu you take your hand away the
fruit that was held back springs to its natural position, thus
making the whole row perfectly tight, without, bruising it at
all. Continue until you have packed one layer; that is gen-
erally enough; then fill in until the fruit reaches to the tops
of the sides, or slightly higher, to allow for pressure. All
this time shake the box once in a while gently, then nail the
cover on. The box can then be turned upside down and la-
be'ed, and, when the cover proper is taken off, shows a tine
appearance, and if the fruit be carefully assorted your brand
will be a guarantee that the remainder of the box is the
same as the top layer. Peaches should be packed in regular
layers if of any size, a four-inch or twenty-pound box to be
used for two-inch peaches, and a five-inch box for tho-e of
two and a half or three inches, making two layers to the
box. This is the simplest way of packing pit fruits outside
of merely throwing them loose in the box. The main thing
is to have your rows regular, the blush of the fruit on top,
and the box well filled, so that when it is opened the top of
the fruit is not an inch or two from the top. After being
bandied several times it gets pretty well shaken up Pears
should be packed in fifty-pound boxes and should be packed
regularly— that is, in tiers, starting by placiug the top or
thickest end of the pear next to the head of the box, and
then having the next row of stems coming in between the
necks of the first, and so on until the top of the box is
reached. Keep your four, Ave and six tier pears separate.
A four-tier pear has no business in a six tier box, and vice
versa. After nailing mark the box x x if four tier and x if
five tier; the six tiers require no mark at all, and will gener-
ally do if packed and topped off' with one layer. The com-
mission merchants understand these marks,' but don't im-
pose on their good nature by having four tiers on top and
six tiers underneath, as they very often test the marks by
opening the box on the opposite side. This protects their
business and also the honest packer's brand. Apples also
want to be packed in tiers and mafted the same as pears,
and these two fruits, if not wormy, majf be marked, "No
worms," with as large a stencil as you like, but see that no
wormy fruit is among the lot. It often causes great confu-
sion when a man buys a box of apples or pears labeled, "No
worms," to find that the cureless packer has, somehow or
other, labeled the wrong box, or perhaps the marks that the
larva of the codlin moth is generally told by on the apple or
pear did- not show plain. It takes lots of experience and
good eyesight to x^ack a box of apples without getting any
wormy specimens in the box; but this little moth is kept
down more every year by the use of Paris green and London
purple washes. Grapes, to look neat, should have the
bunches looked over when packing, taking off all the
bruised and poor graphs, using a pair of scissors for this
purpose; then lay them in the box with the flat part of the
bunch showing towards the top. with the stems turned "out
of sight toward the center. .Both top and bottom should be
packed this way so that when opened there will be no differ-
ence in the looks of either. Twenty and twenty-ffve-pound
boxes are generally used for grapes. C. C.

BASE BALL.

By One Who Knows-

The California League is the subject of considerable com-
ment among baseball "fans" just at present. There are
several things that have transpired recently which are not
calculated to increase the popularity of the game on tLis
Coast and particularly in this city. In the first place, the
downfall of the home team has thoroughly disgusted local
enthusiasts, and they are vainly endeavoring, to assign some
excuse for the wretched showing of their favorites in tbe
last six weeks. It must be admitted that there is something
very singular about this team. Harris opened the season
with the same men, playing (hem against the same players
that form the other clubs of the league, and took such a
lead, that all interest in the race for the pennant died out,
everybody conceedingthe l"rag'* to San Francisco. But base
ball is a mystery, and no sooner does Harris go to Stockton
and get the champions in trim to give Frisco a battle, when
the latter goes all to pieces, and are not only mauled around
by the Stocktons, but dissatisfied Sacramento and the Oak-
land cripples rub the noses of the Metropolitan players in
the dirt. Surely there must be some reason for this down-
fall, and it is not because they are outclassed, for there has
been no new material imported to strengthen tne other
clubs.

The dissensions in the Sacramento club have been fully
ventilated in the daily papers, and it is unnecessary to go
over them again. It is understood though, that a substan-
tial resident of the city will take the team in hand and place
ton a footing wilh the other clubs.

If the downfall of the San Franciscos is exciting comment,
the raw deals the "up-country" teams get from Sylvester
when they come to this city, are bringing forth howls of
indignation. There is no oity in the United States whose
base ball audiences are as impartial as here; all they ask for
is a square deal and may the best team win. Last week the
Sacramentos got it in the neck from this ex-ball player, and
this week the Stocktons have been shamefully robbed.
Thursday the Oaklands were given a game by Sylvester,
■when the cinb as it stands now has no license to defeat
Stockton in ten years. Nobody doubts the California League
games are played on the "square," yet the people cannot
help remembering when they see Sylvester decide point after
point in. favor of the OaklandB, and some of them dead robs,
that only a few weeks ago Robinson played him in the field
a couple of games, after he had been dropped by the Sacra-
mento club, and he was appointed to the position from the
team across the Day. Of course there can be nothing more
than ^gratitude that prompts him to give everything to the
Colonels.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arpbippus.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The Pacific Athletic Club would desire your membership
bo as to organize a tiuly honest and legitimate amateur
Athletio Club.

The objects of the Pacifio Athletic Club are numerous,
and after knowing them you will without doubt tender your
generous assistance to organize a clab having in view only
athletics as they should be, and not as they are.

The first object of tbe club is that initiation and dues
shall be expended entirely for the benefit of the'.club and of
its members; no salaried teachers whatsoever shall be em-
ployed. Notwithstanding this, the Club has boxing, wrestl-
ing, fencing and gymnastic teachers who rank amongst the
best in this city, and in the coming athletic games and tour-
naments the many pupils will show that we have rallied
under our flag Borne of the best athletes known.

The Pacific Athletic Club will be composed of gentlemen
of goo I character and standing; it will exclude from its foldB
all ungentlemanly persons.

The gymnasium is large and spacious, being fitted up in
the latest style. Boxing, wrestling, fencing and gymnastics
will be taught on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings.
The Club will also contain library, reading room, baths,
etc., and with yonr aid will become one of the best and
largest institutions.

The success of the Club is an assured fact. Having been
organized only a month or two, it now nombers 400 mem-
bers, among them being some prominent business men.

The next exhibition will take place on August 15. That
you will uphold and stand by a club created for athletic
sports in general and also for sociability among its mem-
bers.

C. Girt,
President Pacific Athletic Club,

1630 Market Street.
The Pacific Athletic Club has just signed T. Moirisey and
J. Hesketh to fight 10 rounds on one night of the exhibition.
The fight will be scientific and hard, and both men have
gone into training.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Golden Gate
Athletic Club, held on July 30th, the initiation fee was in-
creased to $17.50. In addition to the Gorman-Turner con-
test on Wednesday, August 14lh, a ten round contest will
take place between George Allen of Australia, and Tom Mc-
Ilwain of this city.

Mike Lucie is instructor of boxing, and his instructions
are free.

Class nights, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 8 to 10

P.M.

Class afternoons, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays,
3.30 to 5.30 P. m.

Joe McAuliffe and Pat Killen fur September Iltb, 1889.
J. J. Jamison, John A. Stelxbach,

Secretary. President.

The amateur boxerB are getting int) trim for the coming
tournament of the C. A. A. C. The out-door men are still
improving their wind fur Admission Day and the wheelmen
are resting on their oars waiting for something to tarn up in
the Bhape of a tournament of race-meet. The past week was
anything but a profitable one for the anglers.

Several of the leading Local athleteB will make an effort in
the near future to start a new athletic association. This as-
sociation will have nothing what ever to do with the govern-
ing of other organizations; it's parpose will be solely to make
an effort to capture the Championship penoant for 1890.
Quite a number* of the champions have promised to lend
their assistance to the undertaking and from present indica-
tions these athletes will be successful in their efforts. Only
good men with records will be admitted to membership, aod
as the madjjrity of the best athletes on the Coast are mem-

bers of the Olympic Athletic Clnb it is only natural to sup-
pose that the honors which this proposed organization will
win will be credited to the O. A. Q.

The gymnasium of the Golden Gate Athletic Club is
thronged every afternoon and evening with the new mem-
bers of its amateur annex.

The boxing tournament of the C. A. A. C. will be held in
the club's new exhibition hall, commencing September loth.
From present indications we are led to believe that the con-
tests will be tame, as only members of the C. A. A. C.
will take part in the tournament. It is a foregone conclu-
sion that the association clubs of the P. C. A. A. A. will for-
bid their members from entering any of the events. The C.
A. A. C. has itself to blame- lwo of its best out-door men
identified themselves with the P. C. A. A. A. at the last
championship meeting, and, in consequence, were expelled
from the C. A. A. C. Under such circumstances," it would
be very foolish to suppose for a moment that the P. C. A. A.
A. would permit any of its athletes to help the C. A. A. C.
out in its games. Supposing the P. C. A. A. A. did allow
its members to take part in the games of the C. A. A. C,
we fully believe that not one of its members would be
willing to help out a faction that does not believe in
its existence.

An immense crowd of people will no doubt be present at
the opening of the new grounds of the O. A. C. The
grounds will be arranged so as to accommodate 5,000 peo-
ple, but on the opening day it is safe to say that double the
number will strive to gain admission.

"An amateur athlete'7 suggests that the prizes for the Ad-
mission Day games be purchased before hand and exhibited
in tbe window of some large store. We agree with the
"amateur athlete" in his suggestion, and think the idea a
good one, A committee should be appointed to select prizes,
and these prizes should be exhibited at least a couple of
weeks previous to the games, in order to afford the athletes
an opportunity to see what they will be contesting for. This
is the custom in the Eist and it should be introduced here.
A distinction should be made in the quality of the prizes.
For instance in the sprint races (where more than one heat
has to be run) and in the long distance runs and the walking
event the prizes should be more valuable than in the shot
putting and jumping events.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

William Van Pelt and George Turner, two young men em-
ployed in the office of a well-known Law firm in the Nevada
Block walked a match race of one mile at the Height Street
Baseball grounds on Monday afternoon. Turner took the
lead at the start but was soon ovtrtaken by Van Pelt who led
until within one hundred yards of the finish when his wind
gave out and his thinner opponent Bhot by him and won the
race by twenty yards. Time 9min. 30secs,

George Armburster is in strict training for the novice race
on Sept. 9th. and with a little more practice in the art of
starting he should certainly win one of the medals.

Captain A. H. Lean of the C. A. A. C. states that training
tickets for the Harbor View Grounds are now ready and
members of the club can procure them at the Secretary's of-
fice.

Several of the O. A. C. members are training at the Bay
District track.

Last Sunday morning the Bay District track was fairly
swarming with athletes. Runners, Walkers, Jumpers, shot-
putters and even prize fighters gave exhibitions of their
ability. Several impromptu races were run and a large crowd
of people who were on tbe porch seemed to take great inter-
est in the doings of the athletes. The scene was remiuisicent
of the Sunday mornings years ago when the original Golden
Gate Athletic Club was in existence. Ah! those were the
good old days. Poor Bob Haley and Jack Belcher and
many other shining lights were in their prime then and
crowds of people would assemble at the Bay District track
every Sunday morning to witness the doings of the Athletes.

C. M. Yates, the pedestrian, is now turning all his atten-
tion to boxing, and his teacher has great confidence in
his future success.

One of the old time heel and toe walkers, John D. Mann,
left on Thursday last for Virginia, where the future he will
reside. Mr. Mann is a very old member of the C. A. C. and
his loss will be greatly felt on future field-days.

V. P. White is still after Kolb's scalp and it will be a great
pity if the two men cannot be brought together. White has
improved very much of late under the tuition of Professor
Joe Acton and in him Kolb will find a foemarj worthy of bis
steel.

Several of the Pacifio Athletic Club's out-door men are get-
ting into condition for Admission Day, and it is expected
that the club will have a representative in nearly all the
events.

At the summer meeting of the Detroit Amateur Athletic
Club, held at Detroit on August 3d, John Owen Jr. of De-
roit lowered the record for a hundred-yard dash, making it
in nine and three quarter seconds. The best previous rec-
ord was 10 seconds. Owecs also lowered the 220-yard run,
making it in twenty one and two-fifth seconds. The best
previous record was 22 seconds.

Peter Mclntyre and Watson are soon to run a race for a
large slake. Judging from Mclntyre'B record in the mile run
at the last games of the Scottish Thistle Club we are of the
opinion that he can beat the man from Victoria. At
all events the race will be very close one.

It is thought that Carpenter of the C. A. A. C. with proper
training can equal Moffet's record in the running high jump.
It is to be hoped that a proper jumping place will be provi-
ded for the competitors at the next out-door meeting.

AT THE OARS.

The committee on new quarters appointed by the Arie^
Bowing Club has not as yet been able to decide on a suitable
location. The majority of the members are opposed to hav-
ing the club house located across the Bay, and the probabili-
ties are that some place will be selected this side.

J. J. Larkey of the Ariels is busy gettiDg up an amateur
crew which he says will "knock the stuffing" out any crew
in the club.

The old boat house of the Triton Bwimming and boating
club is to be re-modeled.

The water was rough on Sunday la^t and very few of the
oarsmen took exerciae.

The late Col. To bin was a great lover of aquatic sports and
years ago was himBelf a very fair oasman.

On Tuesday last William O'Connor, the champion sculler
of America, was presented with a small white silk flag by
Sir Charles Tupper, High Commissioner for the Dominion
of Canada at London, England. The presentation took
place at the office of the High Commissioner. On the flag
the coat of arms of the Dominion of Canada was exquisitely
painted in oils. The champion was much pleased at the
present and expressed his gratitude in a very neat speech.

THE WHEELMEN.

The following programme of club runs has just been is-
sued by the San Francisco Bicycle Club:

Club run No. 20. Santa Cruz, Saturday, August 10th.
Take the 2 p. M. Oakland boat.

Club run No. 21. San I eandro and Laka Glial » ot, Sunday,
August 18th. Take the 9:15 a. M. creek route boat.

Club ran No. 22. Mount Tamalpais, Sunday, August
25th. On this run members are requested to wear their old
clothes, to bring their lunches, and not to bring their wheels.
Take the S a. m. Sausalito boat. F. J. H. Manning, Cap-
tain.

A bomb has been cast into the camp of the wheelmen;
their prospects have been bligh'ed. There will be no bicycle
tournament at San Jose on the 9th of September. '1 he Di-
rectors of the Nevada County State Fair have decided Dot to
add any bicycle events to their programme, and there will
be no bicycle races at Sacramento during the California
State Fair. So many disappointments must necessarily be
very discouraging to the wheelmen who have been ia train-
ing for some rime past.

Quite a number of riders took part in the joint run of the
Bay City Wheelmen and Oak Leaf Wheelmen to Sau Mateo
on last Sunday, and the trip was a very enjoyable oue.

The recent victory of Balph Temple of Chicago in the ten
mile 'cycling championship race at Leicester (England) was
quite a surprise to the English sports. The English will
soon begin to realize that America is the land of the cham-
pions.

For the information of members of the L. A. W. on this
coast we print the following racing roles:

GENERAL RULES.

A. Any amateur wilfully competing at races not stated lo
be held and actually held under the rules of the Board, or
rules approved by the Board, shall be liable to suspension
from the race track for such a time as the Racing Board may
determine; and amateurs are notified that to eonqjete
against any rider who has been suspended will render them
liable to the same penalty.

B. The Racing Board will receive and pass upon all
claims for records, aud, if required, claimants must furnish a
statement from the judges and time-keepers of the meeting,
together with a sworn statement from a competent surveyor
certifying the measurement of the track. When the record
is proven to the sa'isfaction of tbe Board it will be published
in the official organ, and stand as such on the boobs of the
Board. No record made at a meeting not governed by
League rules will be considered. No record made on the
Lord's Day will be considered. The Board will enter no
record in its books that is not made in competition between
men at an open meeting, of which at least one week's notice
has been given. The Board will enter no records in its
books that is made on a board track or under cover.

C. The standard of measurement adopted by the Board
requires that a track shall be measured on a line drawn not
more than eighteen inches from a well-defined, fixed and
continuous inner curb or pole, and no record will be allowed
on a track otherwise measured.

IN THE SURF.

The swimming race at the Terrace Baths, Alameda, la:-.*
Saturday afternoon, between Prof. Jack Williams, of Mon-
treal, Canada, and Ed. Piuckbam, of California, for $500 a
side, was a very uninteresting affair. From the start it was
plainly to be seen that the Canadian was never in the race,
the California boy winning as he pleased. We have our
doubts as to whether the match was a genuine one;
for it seems impossible to believe that the Professor had even
the smallest idea that he could defeat Pinckham. There are
several swimmers on the Pacific Coast who can defeat the
Canadian, but we doubt if there is a match for the California^
this side of the Rocky Mountains.

The attendance at the Crystal Baths during the week was
up to the average. This is an excellent place for novices to
learn swimming. An instructor is always at hand, aud there
is not the slightest danger of drowning.

Bathers who patronize the Shelter Cove Baths are constant-
ly complaining about the dirty color of the water in that lo-

he will be engaged.

Dr. Maclay, the Petalnma Veterinary was in town on

that AUerton can readily lower 2:19.

On the completion of the "big" circuit in California, the

Harry Agnew, he of Honolulu fame, reached this city from
his far off Island home, by the Australian steamer, last
Saturday. He is much improved in health, and may stay
here some little time.

On Thursday a large number of the horses which have
been quartered lately at the Bay District, were Bent up to Napa
among them being those of G. Valensin, F. H. Burke and
Dick Havey's Btring.

Mr. Maguire who has in training at Napa the D, M. Reavjs

ones amomg them and I expect to hear of them winning be*
fore long.

There ia a rumor prevalant around sporting headquarters!
that Jack Edgar has joined the Salvation Army over in Mon-
tana. If the report is true, the odds are two to one, that
Jaok will give his satanic majesty ten pounds and a beating.

What driver is it that is kicking because the "big five" will
not allow him in the combination. From the manner in
which two of the horses will shut out in the tirst heat last
Saturday it would seem that there were enough in the ''com-
bine."

In the Santa Rosa entries the name of Daly was left out of
the 2:40 class. It will be properly classified next week.

Well, it is over at last. The great fake race between Ham-
lin and the Sire Bros, was trotted at Buffalo on Thursday
last, and Belle Hamlin won two heats in succession in 2:15
aDd 2:17£. The telegrams do not say when the return race
will take place, but it may be looked for in the near future.

The Napa Directors have decided to let Gold Leaf and
Almont Patchen start for the free for all paciug purse, they
being the only entries. The 2:23 class will go with Direct,
Grandee, Gub Wilkes and Victor. The 2:17 class will have
Lillie Stanley and Dawn as competitors.

The programme book issued by the New York Club for the
inaugural meeting commencing Augnst 20th, is one of the most
elaborate affairs seen in a long time. Evidently the club has
determined not to be outdone by the older association, and are
working hard to make succcsb doubly sure.

California once more comes to the fore this week; the
great little horse, Flood Tide proving to bp the superior
of such rare good ones as Come To Taw, Longstreet and
others at Saratoga, while Los Angeleg downed Firenzi aud
Euros at Monmouth Park. Both the Baldwin and Ashe
stable have been doing very well lately.

Colonel J. D. Morrissey, of Denver, Col , the owner of L.
C. Lee, remarked to a friend recently: "Let me whisper in
your ear' If any horse on this continent thiB year reduces
the pacing record or comes any where near approaching the
fleet Johnston, it will be L. C. Lee. Yolo Maid is undoubt-
edly a good pacing mare, and she is the very animal that we
shall take delight in measuring strides with. Lee will no
longer be permitted to pace in races with inferior horses.
He must meet the best. We are not afraid of them."

The following piece of gossip is from the Los Angeles
Tribune. Our readers will regret to learn that Gossiper, the
symmetrical son of Simisons, is entirely off, find at the pres-
ent writing it is problematical whether he will be started at
any of the fair meetings this year. He showed up very poor-
ly yesterday, but the trotter might round to with a little rest.
Charley Durfee had great expectations for Gossiper, and he
was certainly one of the moat promising of the sensational
four-year-olds that will be seen on the grand circuit in Cali-
fornia this year. Don Tomas is reported a little under the
weather. Baylis also worked Belle B , the stable companion
of Atto Rex, miles in 2:30 and 2:31. John Dunn, who haB
charge oi Philip GlasselPB Del Snr mare, drove her a mile in
2:31. Radical showed a couple of quarters in :39. This son
of Pilot Medium is a candidate for the 2:30 class at the com-
ing fair. Belle Forest was worked in 2:39.

Director L. H. Mcintosh of the P. C. T. PL B. A.
several days in town this week. He reports that the stallion
Arthur WilkeB has Berved forty mares at Ogden since his ar-
rival there. Arther Wilkes will be sent back to the Chico
farm some time this fall.

At Carson, Nevada, the director! of the Agricultural Asso-
ciation have erected a new grand stand and judge's stand,
and erected sixty new stalls for the accommodation of horses.
The meeting this year promises to surpass any ever held
there.

It is proposed by Mr. P. Lorillard and a few others to in-
cIobb Jerome Park with glass, light it with electricity, and
use it for Winter racing at night. The scheme is believed
to be feasible, and estimates and plans have been contracted
for.

Mr. J. K. Newton haB had hard luck with the horseB
which he took East some time ago to sell. Oq the day on
which they were originally to be offered at public auction,
the rain fell in torrents and the sale was postponed until
last Saturday. A reserve price of $2,500 had been placed on
each of thejfive, and there was not one which reached that
figure, so they were all withdrawn.

The Directors of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders
Association met at the Palace Hotel on Tuesday evening to
canvass the entries for the 2:30 purse and also for the free for
all. The attendance was a large one and very enthusiastic,
•specially when it was fonnd how well the purses had rilled.
There are strong grounds for the assertion that the P. C. T.
H. B. meeting of 1S39 will surpass anthing of the kind held
in California.

Mr. Cory of San Jose is up in arms, and proDoseB to obtain
the scalp of Mr. Lathrop's unnamed pacer. He wants it dis-
tinctly understood that he will pace Almont Patchen against
the gelding, and proposes to make the match for $2,500 a
side. ThiB may determine whether the friends of the great
unnamed are willing to carry out their promises and back
him against anything in the State. Step up, gentlemen, and
post your forfeits.

The Bay District Meeting has proved a regular fiasco.
The number of entries received did not warrant the manage-
ment in continuing the meeting, so every thing was declared
off. The 2:40 class was to have had a go on Thursday, bnt
there were only two of the entries prepared to start, so the
secretary made the announcement that the race was "off".
Mr. Deitz had his colt jogged around the track and claimed
part of the entrance money, but as yet, what he claims has
failed to materialize.

Another bad piece of news comes from Rosemeade. It is
to the effect that Alcazar's leg has gone back on him, and
the Sultan stallion will be turned out. He was worked out
last Saturday, since which time the tendon of the leg has
swollen very much. This bad leg, while not altogether un-
expected, is to be deplored, as Senator Rose had great faith
in Alcazar reduciDg his record three or our seconds. Dabec
is not quite himself at present, but his work heretofore has
been more than creditable.

The race between Wanda and Simmocolon was no sooner
over last Saturday than rumors began flying about that Eros
waa not the sire of the mare, but that Fallis could olaim that
honor. These reports were Btaited by irresponsible persons,
perfectly ignorant of the facts, but willing to be thought
"KnowallB" by those who were as ignorant as themselves.
When Mr. Borke bought the filly the catalogue said, "A bay
horse colt by Fallis, dam Girofle," ioetead of which the auc-
tioneer put up the fiily Wanda, by Eros, dam s t b by Elmo.
The ages of both were alike, but the horse colt alluded to
was not sold until February 28th of this year, when he was
purohased by Mr. Howard iSmith of Alameda County. Mr.
Burke has all the affidavits necessary and also a photographic
reproduction of the Stallion Service Book, all of which prove
conclusively that Eros is the sire and not Fallis, as reported.

Salinas Notes.

W. W. Bair, who came promiently before the public a few
years ago when he drove Maud S., the Queen of the Turf, to
her record of 2: 08 J, iB quite low wilh consumption at Mb
home in Pennsylvania.

Axtell, 2:14$, the great three-year-old, stands 15.2£ bands
high, and measnroB the same over rump as at the withers.
The day he made hie record he weighed 1,050 pounds, and
was regarded as fifty pounds too high in fleBh. Kis shoeB
weigh five ounces forward and three ounces behind.

I have to return thanks to G. M. Robinson Esq., secretary
of the Inter State Fair, to be held at Elniira, N. Y , commenc-
ing September 16th, for a complimentary ticket, and personal
letter inviting me to attend their meeting. Nothing would
give me greater pleasure, but a press of business on the
Pacific CoaBt will prevent attendance.

The fixtures for the autumn meeting of the Coney Island
Jockey Club iDclude a new stake, to be called the Equinoc-
tial, for two-year-olds, to be run again as three-year-oldB in
June, 1890. Its conditions are Biniilar to those of the
"Double Event," with $2,000 added to eaoh race, and a
piece of plate worth $1,000 for the owner if the same horse
wins both races

G. ValenBin. of Pleasanton, has purchased from Chas.
Green, of San Francisco, the bay sucking colt Select by Sid-
ney, dam Queen by Sultan; second dam Lilly Shear, (dam of
Emma G 2:2GA) by Whipple's Hambletonian; third dam the
old time trotting mare Al o"a Mandeville. Price $1,000.

A letter from Monmouth says everything there is saturated
with moisture — shoes covered with mildew, aDd if you par-
chase postage 3tamp8 and put them in your pocketbook, you
find they are glued tightly to the leaves. As thoroughbred
horses are the denizens of a dry climate, they suffer very
much from damn of this kind, and the result is that many
are on the siok list.

The New York Jockey Clab has sent to this office a quan-
tity of entry blanks for the stake races which close August
15th. For the spring meeting of 1890, there are the Great
Eclipse stake with $10,000 added, for two-year-olds: Fleet-
wood Stakes, with $2,000 added, for three-year-olds; Elm
Stakes, wilh $2,000 added, for three-year-old fillies. For the
fall meeting of 1890, there are the Hickory Stakes, with
$10,000 added for three-year-olds. These same Stakes will
also close on the 15th for the 1891 events. Any persons
desirous of obtaining entry blanks can procure them at this
office.

The German trotting-tracka, which are now modeled after
those in this country so far as construction is concerned, are
in some respects managed even better than those in America.
One reform that the Germans have instituted is the charg-
ing of but two per cent entrance on first money, the result
being that they get a lot of entries, there being sometimes as
high as thirty-five entries in a class. Most of the races are
of the dash order, and on a recent day iu Berlin six events
were disposed of, five of them being dashes aud the other
best two in three.

One night laBt winter dusky Bob Campbell, trainer for E.
J. Baldwin, told a few friends that he had a colt called King
Charles, that would in all probability win the Junior Cham-
pion Stake. When the reports came over the wire last Toes-
day that Protection had won the great event, there were but
few in the city that knew the winner as King Charles, yet
they are one and the same. Bob wins by the victory con-
siderably over $30,000, a nice little fortune for a poor man.

Mr. E. L. Geroux, of Baker county Oregon, has re
cently purchased two young, fiuely-bred trotterB, which he
will have on the turf next year, eaye the Rural Spirit. Ver-
non, b f by Reporter, sod of Diotator by Rysdyk'a Hamble-
tonian, dam Star Bullock by Bollock, bou of Narragansett
Mambrino by Mambrino Chief; 2d dam Star of Nutice by
New York, son Alexander's Abdallab, by Rysdyk's Hamble-
toDiun, etc. The other one is Col. Bird, b c foaled 1888,
by Autocrat, son of Havoc by Tborndale, son of Alexander's
Abdallah by Hambletonian 10, dam Ema Elmo by St. Elmo,
sou of Alexander's Abdallah, etc.

During the past week nothing of any great importance has
occurred at the Salinas track. The horses generally are do-
ing well, the several stables being luckily exempt from any
form of ailmeut that might interfere with their work.

In addition to the list of horses under Jaa. Dwain's care,
mentioned last week, there .are B. V. Sargent's b m, 6 vrs.,
by Mountain Chief, he by Geo. M. Patchen Jr., dam a Ver-
mont mare. She is a pacer and can show a rapid gait. J.
B. Iverson's dark brown or black yearling filly by Carr's
MambriDo, dam by Vermont 322; a full Bister to Mam-
brino Boy, is juBt broken, and promises to make a goer.

Pat McCartney is handling R. S. R. Clayton's b s Fred
Grant, 2:46. Fred .Grant is a 1400-pound horse and made bin
record in the fifth heat of a race. He bas just made a heavy
season in the stud, but he rattles off quarters handily in 40.
He has also John Cook's Kingdom horse, br s, 4 years, by
De Groat's Starr King, a sou of Oliver Cromwell, dam an
Abdallah mare.

J. J. Nutting's b c, 2 yra., by Sargent's Brown Jug, dam by
Ladd's Rattler, 2ud dam Mamie Sealis, is a very handsome
youngster, pure gaited, and promises to be able after awhile
to keep good company.

Mr. McCartney has also a two-year-old blaok filly by Fred
Grant, that has a fine way of going, and is a little beauty.

James H. HarriB has in his stable his sorrel mare Maud
H., 6 yrs., by Carr's Mambriuo, dam by Dan Vorhees. Last
year she got a record of 2:34. She is taking her work kindly
and improving every day. Last Sunday he sent her a mile in
2:27£, doing the last half easily in 1:12$.

Wisecarver.B St. Patrick, b s, 3 yrs., a full brother to Maud
H., was the winner of the two-year-old colt stakes of this dis-
trict in 1S87, earning a record of 2:56. He can now show a
30 gait, working a mile a few dayB ago in 2-34i.

Charley Allen's bey Clem, b c, 3 yrs., by De" Groat's Starr
King, dam by Anderson's Abdallab, won the two-year-old
colt stake here last year in 2:52. I held the watch on him a
few days ago, for the half in 1:17. Forty is fun for him, and
from his perfect motion and immense powers, thirty seems
easily within his reach before the year is out.

Mr. Allen has in Jim Harris' stable, also, a black filly, 2
years, by Erwin Davis, dam by Stan- King, 2nd dam by "An-
derson's Abdallah. She is one of the most promising fillies
ever on this track, and many fancy she has the two-year-old
colt stake at our Fair in October at her mercy.

Guy Davis, br s, 3 years, by Erwin Davis, dam by George
M. Patchen, Jr., is the property of Abel Watson. He has°a
fine way of going, quite a bit of speed, but does not take so
kindly to his work as could be wished.

Perhaps the best colt ever on this track is the two-year-
old brown stallion by Janio, dam by Fred Paichen, 2nd' dam
by Vermont, 3:22. He is a large, powerful colt, with im-
mense driving power, fine neck and shoulders, hocks and
stifles perfect for a trotter. Though just broken, he trotted
a mile out last Saturday iu 2:45, and can show quarters bet-
ter than 40 any day. George Graves of Gonzales is the for-
tunate owner of this promising colt, and Harris takes a
special delight io giving him his early lessons.

A. B. Jacksou's b g, 3 years, by Starr King, has just been
put in training, aud is a fine-stepping green horse. Harris
says "he will make a trotter suie."
The bang tail contingent here is very small.
The Kavauagh Bros, have on the track Kitty C , b m, 4
years, by Kingston, dam by Orphan Boy. As a three-year-
old, this handsome mare won several races, showing speed
and ability to stay. They have also a brown stallion, 3
years, a full brother to Kitty C. He is a grandly Bhaped
colt, and looks every inch a racer. His owners expect great
things of him, and his preliminary work would seem to jus-
tify their hopes.

James Dwain is handling a running filly for James Bardie.
She is three years old, by Kingston, dam by young Wood-
burn, 2nd dam the Old Sage Hen. She is speedy, and will
pay for her oats as soon as a chance is given her.

This concludes the list of horses in training here, among
which there are several that will, barring accidents, enter the
charmed circle aud become members of the equine coteries
select. jn. j, s.

Los Angeles, Cal.
Guarantee Purse, $2,000

The Directors of the Sixth District Agricultural
Association of Lob Angeles, Cal., offer a guarantee
purse of ?2,000 to horses of the 2:1/0 class, to be trot-
ted on Thursday, October 24, 1P89, during the Asso-
ciation's tenth annual meeting.

Entrance, 10 per cent, of the purse, payable as fol-
lows: Five per cent. September 1st, to accompany
nomination, and 5 per cent. October 1st, when horses
are to be named. TbiB, however, is on the supposi-
tion that enough entries are obtained to justify
giving tht3 purse.

Horses will take their record from August lst^

the wharf carrying a pair of mutton leg sculls in one haDd
and leading a good sized boy with the other. In reply to
the inquiring looks of the boys he replied, "My boy. yon
know; going to make a scalier of him. Hope he will show
np well.'1 Lou was once a good sculler. The only trouble
was be invariably joined the rear guard in all his races. "I
tell you, if they ever give an old man's race in any of the
future regattas, same as they do at picnics, count me in,"
remarked the genial Louis, as be clasped his son by his row-
ing trunks and set him in a shell, whispering in his ear,
"Don't be afraid; Flynri capsized a hundred times and never
drowned yet," and then pushed him adrift.

Henry Henchman has received a new boat from the East,
and now wants to row Paine of Victoria, or anyone on the
coast, barring Peterson. The chances are that either Austin
Stevenson or Dan Leahey will accommodate him before long.

The match between Dean and Long is off for the present,
as Dean is unable to get backing. Too bad Charley called
him, or he might have got away with his big bluff.

THE GUST,

A well-known property in Lake County, consisting of 160
acres of well timbered land, a good hotel of 32 rooms, 20
small cottages and valuable mineral springs is offered for sale
or exchange for vineyard or orchard or ranch property nearer
the city. During the Beason the place affords a good income
and is offered for sale or exchange because ibe owner cannot
attend to the business. A splendid trout stream runs through
the place for a quarter of a mile, which affords fine fishing,
while the hills abound with large game. To lovers of angling
or hunting, or to one who needs good health, this place offers
superior advantages. See advertisement in this issue.

ROD.

Anyone having a copy of the Breedee asd Sportsman of
jBDUary 26, 18S9, who does not desire to preserve it, will
confer a favor by sending it to the Kennel Editor of this
pBper.

Mr. B. F. Jacob9, of the Herald of Trade, recently returned
from a viBit to the north fork of the American Eiver, near
Sailor Canyon. He found tront and deer plenty, and killed
a black bear and cob. His6ishing was done with grasahoppera
as bait. If he had used flies on that river and fished np-
Btream he would have killed larger fish and more of them.
One of the finest 35 pound baskets of trout we ever saw waB
tilled on a half mile of the American, where Mr. Jacobs
camped, bv Mr. Joe Bassford a few years ago. The trout
were killed on a jungle cook, and averaged seventeen inches
in length. All were lusty, deep, strong river fish, and the an-
gler was about exhausted by his morning's work.

At Tiburon, California City, Angel Island and otner points
near Tibnron hardly' any Osh was caught.

Three young men lost their lives at Mussel Beck while
fishing on last Sunday. This deploraole occurrence should
prove a yarning to other anglers who are in the habit of
going there to fish. Vfe have been informed that it is a com-
moncustom for fishermen who visit Mussel Rock and other
points further up the Coast to walk out to certain big rocks
at low tide and remain on them until the tide rises, and
surreunds them, then they begin fishing. Now this is cer-
tainly a dangerous practice and it should be stopped at once.
Supposing the tide should raise just a little higher than
usual, as was the case last Sunday, what chance of escape
would the anglers on the rocks far out from shore have ?
It is no reason because a man is a good swimmer that he
should take such awful chances, In a rough sea where
rocks abound even the best swimmers would be unable to
reach shore.

AQUATICS.

The Old Guards are Rallying.

Some of the old timers who quit the aquatic circle during
the past five years are returning to the bay and once more
they skim along the city front, as objects of admiration for
any of the rural sports and grangers who stand in open
mouthed wonderment gazing on the big ships and sights
along the wharveB, but when one of them saw a sculler
approaching in a ten inch shell last Wednesday, his astonish-
ment knew no bounds, and he yelled lustily for his friend
Simpkins, "Cyrus, oh .Cy, come here quick and see this
consarned cirous cuss rowiDg on a hop pole." "Gracious
goodness," responded the excited member from Grass Valley,
"Such a big fat man and so much of him hanging over the
sideB, why don't he wear stays?" The ex-policeman looked
up at them Bavagely, ground his teeth, and rowed on, won-
deriDg would the verdant pair remember him in the near
future, when he shall have become a lean and powerful scul-
ler, measuring blades with the best oarsman we have here or
elsewhere.

We expect to see a big corner in single racing shells at
once, as all the returned prodigals were once scullers or de-
sired to be considered as such.

First on the list is Dan Leahey, ex-champion of the Pacific
Coast, with a list of unbroken victories and a five-mile record
of 34:*35 made in his thousaad dollar match against the late
Henry Hoyt, and which at that time stood aB the world's
record and still stands second only to Ned Hanlan's; with the
advancement of science and art in shell building at the present
time, the friends of Dan look for much when he gets back
where the scaleB will balance at 170 pounds.

The next to long for blistered hands aod sun-bnrned arms
and a brush with Dan are the journalist Tom Flynn and ex-
Supervisor John T. Sullivan. Both have in days gone by
Bhone brightly in the acquatic world, Sullivan as the man
who used to row in circles and never tind bin stake boat dur-
ing his races, and Sir Tom as the man who succeeded in re-
straining any but heavily armored vessels from anchoring
East of Mission street.

Bob Goble, who is in charge of the boat houses on Long
wharf was seen to rush over to the Ariel House and seize a
man by the collar who he supposed was picking the door
lock. He was much surprised to find it was only Fred
Smith, accompanied by two good-sized boys. Fred had one
of the old-time keys. "All right," said Bob, "I'll unlock the
door; they have changed the lock since you were a young
fellow." Fred says he is going to make scullers of his sons,
and thinks they are near enough "chips of the old block" to
eventually Teach where he left off— amateur champion sculler
of the Paci6c Co^st.

Editor Breedee and Sportsman:— Mr. J. M. Bell, of
Tacoma, holder of the Globe Trophy, repn senling the Live
Bird championship of the Northwest, having been challenged
by Mr. W. A. Eberly of the a> me place, the contest for
same took place at Tacoma, July 28th, at 25 live birds each
man, 30 yards rise, both barrels. Mr. Bell won with the fine
score of 24 birds to Mr. Eberly's 22. Both men used Parker
guns. Mr. J. C. Nattrass, of Seattle has challenged the win-
ner.

This medal is as fine and valuable as they make them,
actual cost of same being §350. having been donated by the
Globe Publishing Company of Tacoma.

Mr. G. Kellogg and Mr. Jos. MeNaught, Esq., start for a
chicken, quail and gronsehunt, east of the mountains, as soon
as the season opens. They take Mr. Kellogg's pointer and
Mr. Nattrass's Irish setter Red Fanny to find the birds with.
Both being crack shots but few birds will be missed.

Central California Championsphip.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The fifth match for
the Central California Selby medal was held Saturday, Aug.
2d, at the grounds of the Vacaville Gun Club, on Lagunita
Ranch, near Vacaville, and for the fifth time it was won by a
member of the Vacaville Gun Club, H. A. Bassford winning
it the first time, Frank Bassford the second, third and fourth
and T. H. Buckingham the fifth. There were eight shooters
for the medal, including Messrs. "Qugalls" and "Daisy" from
San Francisco, Messrs. Summerfield and Cook from Crock-
ett's.

As an excuse for the low scores made in the medal match,
the shooters say that the weather was so extremely warm

The attempt to introduce the Mongolian pheasant, now
being made by the Grass Valley Sportsman's Club, makes all
information relating to that bird particolarly interesting, and
we recently invited prominent sportsmen of Oregon to send
ns their opinions about the excellence of the pheaeant. The
replies which have come are from men who do not Speak
hastily nor without Knowledge, and may be recorded as em-
bodying the views of those be3t fitted to form an opinion in
the premises.

Among those addressed was His Excellency Governor
Pennoyer, who handed onr queries to Mr. Job, and by him
the matter was referred to Mr. C. A. Load, captain of the
Corvallis Kod and Gan Clnb. Mr. Loud writes: —

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Yocr letter to Gov.
Pennoyer was handed to me by Z. Job, President of the
Corvallis Rod and Gun Cluo, in regard to the Mongolian
pheasants. First they were planted by Jadge Denny, of
Portland, about seven or eight years ago. Some six pairs
were put ont, one pair at Knox's Buttes, abnnt twenty milea
from here, and to-day they can be seen by the thousands on
every farm, and besides a large number are killed. It is esti-
mated that 2.000 were killed near here last season; one bag of
95 by two sportsmen in a Bingle day. They seem to stand the
winter climate here, which is quite cold, often times plenty
of snow and ice; their natural food 1b bugs, worms and all
kind of grain and seed, they are found aronnd the water at
noon-day. Ab for gameness, I can say they are more fond of
running than laying. After they get well grown they will
not lie to the dog, but will run in cover of the grass, and a
dog will often follow them one-quarter of a mile before they
will take wing. They are a poor bird to train a pnp on, as
they always run. They frequent all kinds of cover, bruBh or
stubble; they have destroyed all the quail, and it is a hard
matter to find a covey of grouse now in this valley, as they
kill and destroy the young grouse and driveoff theold birdR.
They will enter a farmer's yard and drive his domestic cock-
rell off the place or kill bim. The young pheasant is tine food
for the table, but not as good as the young grouse; a little dry
in a boil.

I would not advise any one, after wbat I have lately seen,
to plant them where there are other game birds, and was
thinking of sending my old friend, John K. Orr, of your city,
a pair for stocking, but I now see they would soon do away
with the gamelittle quail. A few years ego there were plenty
of quail in this valley, but now his lordship is nowhere to be
seen.

I have Borne tine Llewellin pups to train, but I am afraid
to truBt them with the Mongolian pheaeant for fear of making
them unsteady. If you will pay this town a visit, I should
be pleased to give yon a good bunt and show you all I can
about this emigrant bird. Shall be glad to show you at any
time. You can publish these statements as facts.

C. A. Loud, Field Captain
Corvallis Kod and Gun Club.
Corvallis, Ore., July 30, 18S9.

Mr. Loud makes a discouraging showing, and we shall ge
further particulars from him.

Mr. J. T. Bowditch, a leading light in the law at Ashland,
Or., kindly sends these notes:

Editor Breeder and Sortsman: — A day or two &gf
McCall handed me your letter of July 16th and reqne?*
to answer it. The Mongolian pheasant is one of the
and most beautiful game birds that can be found in
country, but the reports about him are very conflicHr.r
believe, however, that all who have taken pains to 1

themselves concerning the habits of these pheasants, con-
sider them greatly slandered. They are now protected by
law, as the statute of 1S35 prohibits any one from killing or
trapping them fur the period of sis years from the passage of
the act; but some of them manage to rind their way to the
tables of those who love good things to eat in spite of this
strict law, which is pretty generally enforced, and all agree
that they are very delicate and finely flavored. They are
very prolific and are rapidly spreading throughout the Wil-
lamette Valley, and are now found in some portions of Wash-
ington Territory. None, however have reached Southern
Oregon, but the Ashland Gun Club is taking measures to
have tbeui introduced in the Rogue River Valley.

Like the prairie chicken, they haunt the grain fields at
certain seasons of the yeai, and, of course, consume more or
less grain, but the "reports about their destroying the seed
crops to such an extent as to make them a nuisance are, I
believe, without foundation. Bills were introduced in the
last two legislative sessions of our State for the purpose of
repealing the law protecting them. Some of the supporters
of these bills claimed that they were becoming a nuisance,
but tbe larger number of them claimed they were plentiful
enough now to permit of their being hunted in the proper
seasons without any danger of exterminating them. Upon
examination into the facts, however, both bills were de-
feated, and now leading men throughout Oregon consider
them a very desirable addition to our game birds, and are
about to try the experiment of introducing them into their
respective sections of the State. Several pairs will be turned
out here this fall, and several more in the Bpring (that is if
the birds can be procured). Several attempts have been
made in this (Jackson) county to have the domestic hen
hatch and raise them as she does her own chioks, but in
every instance the attempt has proved a failure. The young
pheasants hatch out Btrong and vigorous, but their foster
parent evidently does not understand their wants, so they
live but a short time. Some say the reason is that the old
pheasant feeds the young herself, and the hen does not un-
derstand this process; bnt the commonly accepted explana-
tion is that the dome3lic hen does not supply suitable food
for the young pheasants.

Hoping you will be successful in introducing these in Cali-
ifornia, J- T. BowniTcn.

Ashland, Or., July 25, 1889.

The exceedingly entertaining letter from Mr. Bowditch
places the pheasant scheme in a different light. Still an-
other legal authority and sportsman, Mr. Geo. H. Burnett,
writes as follows: —

Salem, Oregon, July 29, 18S9.
Editor Brdeeer and Sportsman: — Your inquiries con-
cerning Mongolian pheasants are at band. They were intro-
duced here from Japan in 18S2, by Hon. 0. N. Denny. The
legislature of that year passed a law forbidding their destruc-
tion under penalty, hence I cannot give you any statistics as
to their qualities for banting. I have Been a goodly number
of Btuffed specimens, however, said to be the bodies of those
which committed suicide through home sickness, by flyiog
against telegraph wires. It is Baid they are fine eating, but
of this I claim no personal knowledge.

They were set at large in various parts of the Willamette
Vallev when first introduced, and have multiplied very rap-
idly—so muxh 80 tnat farmers complain of them eating too
much grain in some sections, but I doubt if this is well
founded.

They, however, frequent grain fields, and prairies, and
open woods. How tbey would act if hunted much is left to
conjecture. The males are very game, sometimes righting
victoriously with the best oocks of the barnyard. I have
heard that in some instances they cross, in breeding, with
domestic hens. Their flight is steady — not so rapid as that
of our native grouse— making them easy wing shots.

As you doubtless know, our climate in the Willamette Val-
ley is damp and rainy in winter, and only moderately dry in
summer. The natural foods for these birds are grains and
grasses from the fields, and perhaps buds and seeds from the
forests. The water supply is, of course, abundant.

Geo. H. Burnett.
The Secretary of the Southern Oregon State Board of Agri-
culture, Mr. Robert A. Miller.^is most conclusive and satis-
factory in his answers. He says: —

Jacksonville, Oregon, July 29, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Your letter of inquiry
regarding Mongolian pheasants received. We have noue of
these pheasants in Southern Oregon, though we have tried
unsucctssfully to get them.

From having a great interest in that remarkably fine game
bird I have learned somewhat of their desirability.

Thongh turned loose in our State but five or Bix years, they
have multiplied to a wonderful extent, being found in the
counties of Linn, Lane, Marion, "Washington, Polk, Yamhill,
Benton and Multouomah in great numbers.

Sportsmen in the Willamette Valley speak in the highest
praise of their desirability as game birds. They are far more
wary than the grouse, fly and run rapidly, permitting one
shot as they fly from covers, and are gone for the day. They
breed from two to three times a year. When the first brood
of from eighteen tu twenty chicks are hatobed the male takes
charge of them and another brood of from fifteen to eighteen
is soon mingling with the first. If the season is propitious,,
another lot are hatched before winter. This accounts for
their wonderful increase.

TheBe birds were protected by Legislative enactments for
five years from October 24tb, 1882, and during the last Legis-
lative Assembly it was proposed to permit them to be indis-
criminately killed, but this proposition met with decided
opposition.

It is a mooted question about their eatirjg wheat or destroy-
ing grain. The general opinion is that tbey are a desirable
acquisition to the food supply of the conntry.

Robert A. Miller.

A letter not bearing directly upon the question, but never-
theless full of matter of general interest, came from Mr.
Henry KHppel, a Real Estate Agent and Notary Public, of
Medford, Oregon, who says:

Editor Brbedrr and Spotsman: — Your letter concerning
the "Mongolian Pheasant" was received in due course of
mail. I regret that the increaseof these birds hasnotextend-
ed as far south in Oregon as this valloy of Rogue River. As
I am informed they are confined to the valley of the Willa-
mette. That they are increasing rapidly is not, I believe,
doubted. The cry raised against them by non-sportsmen,
that they are destructive of certain oropshas.in all probability,
no truth in it. They are doubtless in proportion to their
size, no more destructive than quail. The law forbids shoot-
ing them. Tbey have increased much more rapidly than the
law makers anticipated, and the cry against them is probably
bnt a pretence to justify those who wish to shoot them.

I will add, that they do not exist iu thia valley. Our sport
in confined to quail and grouse for field shooting, and to fly
tisr;ng for salmon (whioh take the fly readily) Balmon and

brook trout. The salmon run from the sea up Rogue River
and weigh from 15 to 40 pounds. Henry Klippel.

Medford, Oregon, July 19tb, 1S89.

California Wing Shooting Club.

The final gathering of the club for the season of '89 took
place at San Bruno on Sunday last, eight members Bhooting
and one guest, Mr. "Johns," who sometimes shoots as Mr.
"J. K. O." The day wbb a trying one, the wind blowing
strongly from the west and materially helping a strong lot of
birds, which got away from the traps as though projected by
gun cotton.

Several extraordinary scores were made; scores whioh
would have been notable if made upon easy birds under
favorable conditions, and which, when made at San Bruno,
stamp the shooters as about peerless. Mr. C. J. Haas led,
killing 40 straight out of 41, and most of them with the first
barrel. He was olosely followed by Mr. "Johns," who killed
ten straight, missed his eleventh, and followed with thirteen
clean, elegant kills, a total of twenty-three out of twenty-four.
Mr. Pay killed nine of his first dozen, using the 12 Scott
recently built for him; nine of the second dozen, then pulled
himself together and scored twelve straight kills in the brilli-
ant style of which he is, when he really tries, a master.

Mr. C. M. Osborn rolled up ten of each dozen in the
matter-of-fact way with which he always smasheB his birds.
His style at the trap is precisely that in which he Bhoots in
the field, and his record there is almost unapproachable.

Dr. Knowles dropped to nine, but his average for the sea-
son, bix shoots, was ten and one sixth, which gave him third
medal, Mr. Fay taking second and Mr. Haas first prize.

Sunday's scores were:
At 12 birds, Hurlinghsm. For club prizes.

Bhot at as the basis for computation. Several members did
not shoot during the season, among them being Messrs. Neil
Loynachan, Charles Ford, Dr. John Burnett and H. H.

Old Black Joe.

The following letter appeared in onr contemporary, the
London Shooting Times, July 20th, and is republished be-
cause it ooutains several false statements, whioh without cor-
rection, are likely to injure the reputation of a really good
dog, the black pointer Old Blank Joe, whioh won both the

Derby and the All Aged Btake at the last Pacific Coast Field
Trials. Several personal aspersions directed against the
kennel editor of the Breeder and Sportsman may also be
found in the letter, the best aDd most convincing reply to
which will be to show beyond cavil that the writer of the
letter let go his hold upon truth to bolster up a cause that
in his fatuity and ignorance he thought could be strengthened
by any statement from himself. The letter is reprinted
precisely as it appeared in onr exchange, together with the
comments by the editor of the Shooting TimeB, to whom we
are indebted for kindliness which is fully appreciated.
The letter and comments are as follow:

(To the edlorjof the Shooting Times.)— Dear Srn: In your issue of
March 2, 1889, page 429, there is an article headed "Watson's Turn
Now," which callB for a reply from me, but until to-day I have been
without the proofs asked for.

In the first place yon say "Watson is not getting on at all in Amer-
ica, somehow "

I am an Englishman by birth and expect to die one. As a boy I waa
taught that familiarity breeds contempt, and I am free to confess I
have a profound contempt for any one who can write and publish
such an article as the one referred to above, about anyone totally un-
known to them.

I would like to know from what source you get your information as
to whether I am getting on well in America or not.

For your information, I say that I have got on better In America
than I ever did in England.

Tbe only conclusion I can arrive at, is itaat the words have been
put into your mouth by some sore head in San Francisco, and I sus-
pect that some one to be Mr. H. H. Briggs, Kennel Editor, San Fran-
cisco, Bbeeder and Sportsman.

I am perfectly aware that he has said everything he could against
"Old Black Joe*" from the first time he saw him. He said to me he
was coarse in the head and throaty, and to others he said he was a

mongrel.

Mr, B. knew where I got the dog jUBt a well as I did, because I
showed him all my correspondence with Mr. W. R. Pape, Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, from whom I bought the dog, as soon as I knew he was
shipped.

You say, to this cautiously- worded epistle (referring to my letter to
the Breeder a>d Sportsman) which was simply a plain statement of
facts. Tbe editor replies:— "Mr. Watson is doubtless correct in his
statement as to the buying of Joe, otherwise than through William
Graham, which iB a matter of the slightest importance In our re-
mark about the buying of 'Old Black 'oe,' we desire to convey the
idea that Mr. Watson knew nothing as to the antecedents of the dog,
his age, breeding, breeder, etc.

I emphatically assert that when Mr. Briggs wrote this he lied, and
he knew it.

It is plain that Mr. B. will strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.
The fact is, when I entered "Joe" in the Pacific Kennel Club Bench
Show, held in April, 1888 (I send you a catalogue by the mail), I said,
"Dale of whelping and pedigree unknown," for the reason that Mr.
Pape never gave me his exact date of whelping, or name of sire and
dam, nor has he yet, but to-day I am in receipt of a letter from Mr. P.,
of which the following is a verbatim copy:—

"36 "Webtgate-hoad, Newcastle, Txne, May 28. 1889.
Dear Sir,— The reason that 1 cannot give you tbe pedigree of my
black pointeria this: —

I never show or exhibit them, therefore I have not cot their names
registered In the stud book.

Tbe dog I srnt (meaning "Old. Black Joe") which was mate to the
bitch which got lost overboard, is two years and four months old, and
tke laBt bitch I sent you is one year and ten months.

Isballbe most happy to furnish 3011 with any information which
lies in my power.— I remain, dear sir, yours faithfully,

(Signed) W. R. Pape,

P. P. Geo, C. Pape.
James E. Watson, Ecq., San Francisco."
I enclose you a certified copy of Mr. Pape's original letter.
The whole trouble is just this: Mr. Briggs is pulling for the setters
owned by the California Kennels, and in his own words about the
field trials held at Bakersfield last January, in which "Old Black Joe"
won both the Derby and the All Aged Stakes, he said: "Judge FoBt,
proprietor oi kennels, feels awful sick." and I asked why. Here-
plied :'it was bad enough for all the setters to get knocked out, bnt
when an old black dog walked over everything it niade^biin very
sick."

God help tbe setters If it requires a pporting paper at their back to
make them any good. Give me the dog for my use that has got the
sporting naper against him, but can walk round everything in the
field.

Tbe bitch referred to by Mr. Pape as being one year and ten months
old, is now 111 days out from Liverpool In the same ship, the Kenil-
worth, which brought out "Joe" on her last voyage.

The statement I made about the age of "J oe" to the "smarty Alecs,'
who are such good judges of the aee of a dog as to claim he was at
least three years old, was that, so far as I could calculate, "Joe" was
whelped in February. 1887, and Mr. Pape's letter confirms me, because
writing on May 28. 1889, he says is two years and four months.

This is not a cautiously worded epistle, but a true statement of
facts only. James E. Watson.

June 13, 1889. 516 Sacramento Street, San Francisco.

[We publish the above with pleasure, and in reply thereto, beg to
say that when we first dealt with the subject the similarity of names
mislpd us, and that our remarks applied to another Watson— and we
have already stated as much in a previous number of the Shooting

This part of the question being settled, we beg to assure Mr. James
E. Watson, of San Francisco, that Mr. Briggs has never written to us
on the subject of "Old Black Joe." Mr. Briggs is too much of a
gentleman and a sportsman to stab a man behind his back, and we can
assure Mr. Watson that we would not allow ourselveB to be used as
tools for any such purpose. We leave that kind of thing for the other
Watson to do.— Ed.]— (Shooting Times.)

[The intimation that we wrote to our fellow-editor person-
ally about the owner of Joe is effectually killed by the edi-
torial note, but we may be pardoned a smile, that Mr. Wat-
son should feel that because a black dog wbb considered of
some importance he (Watson) should also be deemed worth
mention.

English men and English men undoubtedly come to Amer-
ica. Some come of avouched breeding, some whose perform-
ances famish sufficient guarantee of gentle blood, and some
whose performances suggest caddishness. The lack of pedi-
gree in Old Black Joe could be over-looked if necessary
because he was a good performer. Can as much be Faid for
his quondam owner?

Mr. WatBon Bays that we have "said everything we could
against Old Black Joe from the first time we saw him." All
that we have said about the dog we subjoin, and it proves
beyond doubt that Mr. Watson has been guilty of falsehood.
On October 8, 1887, upon the arrival of the dog, we said:

"The dog Is a heavy weight of fairly good, coarse form, plain about
head and throat, rather wide In brisket, well coupled, having good
quarters and feet, aud good stern. He came through in good condi-
tion, and looks qui to fit to be entered on birds."

If that is not a fair statement about the dog, let some man
other than the already convicted partisan Watson, point out
the errors. One thing certainly "appears, viz., that when the
dog reached San Francicso in 1SS7, we thought him to be a
year or more old, despite thb claim of his owner that he was
a puppy seven or eight months of age.

On January 26, 1SS9, we said after the field trials, where
the dog was a double winner:

"First in each wan won by Old Black Joe, 10057 A. K. S. B., a black
pointer supposed to have been bred by W. R. Pape at New Castle— on
— TyiiP Engfcind. The dog was vuicuased about a yoar ago by Mr.
Jae. E. Watsou, Secretary of the Pacific Kennel Club through William
Graham, of Belfast, I r«l lud. Mr Watson paid a long price for the
dog, and should have received proper certinoateB of breeding, date of
whelping, etc., none of which have been procurable. Old Black Joe
weighs about forty-five pounds, won third in class for light-weight
pointers at the P. K. 0. show in April. 1888, and is a fair looking dog
all over, being especially well sprung in tbe ribs, and showing im-
mense thiehs and second thighs, with close feet. He is the'best aver-
age pointing dog ever seen lii California, and probably as gooi as any
in the world. A fairly wide aud uniform ranger, coveriop his.ground
olosely and with good judgment, showing Hub noao and Btauuchnese,
and doiug his work In free, merry, gallant «tyle, Ho is a dog to be
proud of, and fit to go in any company or anywhere else. He waa
very well broken indeed."

Later on in the same field trial report, we say: —

"Old Black Joe showed himself a wonderfully good, quick, Bure
and biddable dog."

At another place we said: —

"Old Black .Toe, a splendid average dog, perhaps not phenomenal In
any one quality, but so good in all as to make him good enough to
win a world's championship. That famous son of Vaudevort's Don.
the pointer Richmond, has hitherto been i imtttedly tha best field
pointer ever seen, because he -got out with the setters and won in
company with tbem. The work and style of Richmond -\te well known
to this reporter, and it is his opinion that Old Black Joe is belter in
every way even than tbe famous Richmond, than which higher praise
could not be accorded."

The foregoing a~e even eulogistic words about Old Black
Joe, and indisputably prove the utter, gratuitous falsity of
"WatBon's statement that we did not think or speak well of the
dog. On February 9th, 1889, we wrote: —

"Old Black Joe was a dog of the rarest quality In every respect"
His bench form was superior, and Jn the field he cou d only be beaten
by a phenomenally good performer. His winning of bolb tbe Derby
and Alt-Aged stakes at l/akerhfield last month stamp-d bim as one of
the best pointing dog" alive. He met good competitors, and beat
tbem out of band. His pace was better than average and well main-
tained; in range be was wide, uniform, and covered his ground close-
ly: he quartered well an>l with fine judgment; in style he was very
taking, both when in motion and on point and baok. He had a sure
nose and a keen one, was obedient and had an excellent disposition.
In short, be was in all points the fine, tasty, useful shooting dog, and
one that a thousand litters may not replace."

These are not the words of one who was prejudiced against
the Jog, and Mr. Watson is again set upon the pillory as
guilty of common mendacity.

In'tbe Breeder, and Sportsman of .February 9th last we
also said:

In our remark about th« buying of Old Black Joe we desired to con-
vey the id^a that Mr. Watson knew nothing as to the antecedents of
the dog, his age, breeding, *bree ler. etc. If Mr. Watson can produce
any authentic evidence as to the age of Joe, it should be done because
there exiBts a general belief that tbe dog is considerably older than
two years. Several persons accustomed to breed and handle setters
and pointers agree in discrediting Joe's right to start as a Derby dog,
and one of th*m has even gone so far as to express a positive convlc-
ilon that the dog is three years oldatlea.Bt. No one presumes that

Mr. Watson would do anything irregular, and the mere fact that he
entered Joe in the Derby is all tbe proof needed that he believed the
dog to have been whelped on or after January 1, 1887. If Joe had not
shown himself a very good dog, little interest would attach to any
particulars about him; but since he has exhibited uncommonly good
form the fullest information about him should be obtained'aud pub-
lished, and it is as much to Mr. Watson's interest as to that or any
other to get proper certificates of breeding from bis breeder. In
April hut Mr. Watson certiied that he did not know the age or breed-
ing of the dog. If be has since then received proper and necessary
information about tbe dog, we shall be pleased to publish it.

If our remarks quoted above are not directly in the inter-
est of pointers and pointer men we shall be glad to have their
true drift pointed out. At all events they make it clear that
when Mr. Watson wrote in relation to the above that we
"lied and knew it," he was simply exposing himself to our
proofs that the truth is not in him. Mr. Watson was, in
February, 1S89, presumably a man whose word could be re-
lied upon in some matteis, but, in common with others, we
even then preferred to believe the evidence of our senses as to
the age of Joe rather than Mr. Watson'B unsupported statement,
and in the utter absence of fairly satisfactory certificates, we
are yet of the opinion that Old Black Joe waB older than Mr.
Watson represented him to be. Mr. Watsou even writes that
he has now no exact knowledge about Joe*s date of whelping or
sire or dam. Who can wonder that Watson is flouted at as a
fancier, or that the "lie" is returned to him, and affixed to
his inconsequent person, to remain much longer than he will
be remembered by those who now see him unmasked? In
the latter portion of his letter Mr. Watson lugs in the Califor-
nia kennels, and intimates that we have an especial interest
iu the welfare of that English setter breeding establishment.
The personal preferences of the kenuel editor of the Breeder
and Sportsman should not, and in fact rarely have been per-
mitted to obtrude upon readers, but it may b- said that none
will smile more contemptuously at Watson.s absolutely false
statement than will the owners of the kennels mentioned.

They are gentlemen who will probably not feel at all fl at tered

to know that Mr. Watson considers himself at liberty even to
mention their names. It is beside our purpose to say any-
thing of the character of Mr. Watson, or to give more space
to the mention of his doings than is necessary to refute,
unequivocally, every imputation aeainst us made by him.
He dug the pit and set the trap, and now that he has fallen
into it may be left to the gibes, sneers and contempt of
those who cannot but abhor his attempt to do injustice. —

Mr. H. C. Park, of Bakerslield, has been elevated to a posi-
tion on a plane with that of the Shah. A year or so ago be
and Mr. W. E. Houghton solemnly agreed that the first of
the pair who smoked tobacco should present a suit of clothes
to the other, Many have been the pleas by both for respite,
but both have been inexorable. Mr. Houghton recently pro-
jected a trip to Mt. Whitney, aDd felt that such a trip with-
out a pipe would be hollow mockery, and induced a number
of his friends, H. L. Borgwardt, Jr , I. L. Miller, C. E. Sher-
man. H. A. Blodget, B. A. Jastro, H. P. Bender, S. W. Wible
and T. E. Harding to joiu in a petition to Mr. Park, pray-
ing him to grant Houghton permission to smoke on the
Whitney trip. Park sees his advantage, and is luxuriating
in the offerings of his petitioners, which embrace everything
but tobacco. He might releut for the nonce, and for Hough-
ton's sake we hope he will.

Our State Fair Edition.

A generous public are showing substantial recognition
of the energy displayed by the Breeder and Sports-
man in getting up an extra State Fair edition, and from
present indications the issue promises to be of very vast
dimensions, as many of the prominent horses of the State
have had their pictures taken for this Edition de Lux, and
there are several owners still to hear from. That this
will be the greatest publication ever issued on tb.e Pacific
Coast, there is no doubt, and advertisers are already re-
cognizing this fact, if the new announcements daily re-
ceived are any criterion'to go by. Arrangements are al-
ready being perfected for the distribution of 10,000 extra
copies, and they will be sent to every horse breeder of
note in the United States, Canada and Australia. If
there aTe any who desire correct representations of their
horses and descriptions of farms, breeding establish-
ments, etc., they must send in early application to this
office.

The Entries.

It is with a great deal of satisfaction that we announce
to our readers that at all the places where entries closed
on August 1st, the patronage has been extremely liberal.
Beyond a question of doubt the racing season of 1889
will far surpass in brilliancy any hitherto held in Cali"
fornia. for while it is true that we have heard of no
sensational three-year-old pacers such as electrified the
country last season, still such decided improvement is
reported from all quarters, that we can confidently
hope for many surprises in the trotting arena. Several
green ones of whom we have heard, can "knock spots"
off 2:20 at least they have so shown in private, and there
is every reason to think they can do so in a race. Oak-
land, Petaluma, Santa Rosa, Napa, Sacramento and
Chico have all received abundant entries, and thuB we
have the assurance that there will be battles royal for
the large sum offered in purses at the respective places
of meeting.

A 2:22 Purse-

The 2:23 race at Oakland did not fill, and the Directors
have substituted a 2:22 purse to take the place of it, and
advertise to-day for entries. Ab all the other purse8
filled so well, there will be plenty of sport for those who
attend, but it would be a good idea for the association to
give an extra day on Monday, Sept. 9th, Admission day
to give as the special attractions the 2:22 race and free
for all pacing contest. There are four entries for the
pacing class, St. Patrick, Gold Leaf, Yolo Maid and Al-
mont Patcben, and if this is given on a public holiday
the attendance should be eDormous, especially when
backed up by a great trotting race in which there is lia-
ble to be Senator, Jnnio, Grus Wilkes, Direct, Grandee,
Thapsin, "Valentine, Homestake, "Victor and others. This
is a great programme, and would be the means of crowd-
ing the Oakland Park: on the special day.

The Carson Meeting.

Secretary Torreyeon, of the Ormsby County Agricul-
tural Society, sends to us this week the announcement
of the racing meeting which will be held under the
auspices of the society, at Carson City, from October 7th
to 12th inclusive.

As will be seen in the advertisement, the association
offers $7,500 in purses and $2,500 in premiums. The
programme is an exceedingly good one, and all classes
are given an opportunity to pick up some of the plums
so freely tendered. Of late years, the California contin-
gent have managed to secure goodly slices from the rich
purses hung up by outside organizations and it is not
likely that this present chance will be "allowed to slip, by
those who are always on the lookout for good things.
At the season of the year selected by the Carson Asso-
ciation for their meeting, Nevada is at its best and the
climate thoroughly enjoyable, so that those who deter-
mine to patronize the Capital of the Silver State may
rely on pleasant weather and the prospect of first-class
contests.

Nevada State Fair.

Toe Directors of the Nevada State Fair are laboring
under difficulties this year, inasmuch that the last legis-
lature refused to allow them any bonus with which to
carry on the Annual Meeting. Nothing daunted, how-
ever, by this turn of affairs, the members, individually
and collectively, have determined to show the law-makers
what push and perseverance can do. Theodore Winters,
Esq., who has been East all summer with his Btable of
horses, left them in charge of his able assistant, Alf
Estell, aud has returned to bis duty as President of the
Association, determined to make the Fair of 1889 one of
the most successful ever held. One of the features will
be a great combination sale held on the first day of the
meeting, for which entries are invited from everywhere.

This presents a favorable opportunity to buy and sell,
and will without doubt be carried to a gratifying conclu-
sion alike to those who will purchase or those who offer
their stock for sale. The purses offered for competition
are large and well worthy of liberal patronage from this
State, and as there are quite a number of rich running
purses, it will be surprijing if the thotoughbred division
is not largely represented at Reno. The entries for this
meeting will close August 15th, and we hope to hear
that the generosity of the Directors has been liberally
rewarded in the way of nominations.

lone Races.

Two years ago, or rather more, there was built a good mile
track beautithlty situated about three-quarters of a mile from
the town of Pjne, in an enclosed park of 85 acres, and Amador
and Sacramtnto counties, (the 26th Agricultural District),
decided to hold their annual fair there. The third annual
fair was the occasion of my visit, and after a pleasant trip on
the Southerc Pacific, who nave made traveling so much more
pleasant in lhat section of the country, I arrived in lone
about three o'clock on Monday afternoon, after passing
through sevaral large alfalfa fields. The flourishing little
town was in an unusual state of bustle and excitemenl, being
at this early stage of th« proceedings full of strangers.

The Board of Directors, Messrs. W. P. Peck, Jackson;
John McFailand, Gait; E. J. Gregory, Sacramento; Oliver
Plnmmer, ConsumDes, and F. Prates, B. Isaacs, B. A. Bor-
den, U. S. Gregory, (President), lone, this year decided to
deviate from the general class of district fairs and give a
majority of the purses for the runners, and this evidently had
a very good ?esult, for on going up to the park, which snould
in time be one of the prettist in California, there were found
to be race horses from all over the State, in the long row of
stalls, about a hundred of which are situated there, under an
avenue of grand old oaks, very useful adjuncts to a race
track in hoi regions, making cooling out a much easier
thing than it otherwise would be. There were to be found
Charley Boots, J. W. Donathan, W. L. Appleby, Matt Storn,
Dan Hennessey, Frank De Poyster, P. Siebentbaler, J.
Beavey. T. Boyle, Dan Dennison and others, all of whom
had several horses eaci, while J. McCord, "Worth Ober,
Wilber Smi:h, W, M. Houser and several other prominent
trotting men were also on deck. All were highly delighted
with the outlook and general arrangements, the heat being
not nearly as bad aB had been expected. At night pools were
sold down town by Al. Leach, but were not very largely
patronized, ;he local talent prefering to fritter away their
coin at the various and numerous games of chance. Pliny
and McGinnis were made big favorites in their respective
racei in what few pools were sold.

TUESDAY.

lone and the surrounding country did not turn out on the
first day as well as they ought to have done, but there were
plenty of visitors from outside t^wos, among whom were
Percy WilHiinB, Walsh Trahern, George and Arthur Harri-
son from Stockton, George Armstrong, G. W. Wilson, (Pres-
ident of the Capital Turf Club), Sheriff McMullan and George
Bruge from Sacramento; Mr. Smith, Kohnerville, R. B.
Spence, Thos. Fisher and W. Roberts from San Jose. The
weather was delightful, only about 100 deg., with a nice cool
breeze, and about half past one quite a sprinkling of ladies
were to be peen in the grand stand, where the Sacramento
Hussar band was discoursing swett strains. The speed pro-
gramme was a very good one, the five furlong for two-year-
olds haviDg five starters, and resulting in an easy win for
Pliny, but the judges unfortunately got mixed in the plac-
ings, King Hooker being undoubtedly second. The mile
and an eighth brought eight well known horses to the post,
and was productive of a splendid contest all the way, the
favorite McGinnis winning by the shortest of heads, indeed
many thought G. "W. won. The 2:27 class only having two
would-be starters, was not trotted, a saddle horse race which
was substituted drew a good deal of attention from the local
talent whioh went wrong in the first heat and had to go back
on their choice end play Harrison in the second, he win-
ning cleverly both heats.

Judges— U. S. Gregory, President, O. Plnmmer, and Geo.
Croosey. Timers — Wilber Smith and Archie Stephenson.
Starter— Worth Ober.

went round the turn two lengths in front, with Pliny closing
up, again losing ground. At the head of the Btretch Hooker
was still leading under persuasion, while the favorite on the
oatside, running easy, gradually closed up, and going to the
front half way down the stretch won readily by two lengths.
After a hard struggle for the place Hooker passed the post a
neck in front of E. D., who was a head in advanoe of Earl,
The judges place J Earl second and E. D. fourth to the aston-
ishment of every one.

-WEDXESDAY.

The local attendance was much better than on the previ-
ons day, the grandstand being almost filled with ladies, while
down below a representative gathering of horsemen were col-
lected together, amongst whom were Messrs. E. S. Culver,
Secretary Blood Horse Association, J. M. La Roe, Secretary
Stockton Fair, E. J. Gregory, Mayor of Sacramento, Walters
from Angels, William Sailly, a prominent land owner from
lone Valley, and others. The day's racing was very good,
two rnnning races and a mixed (pace trot) race. The
first race, sis fnrloDgs and repeat, upset all calculations,
Alfarata, who sold for a dollar in the overnight pools, win-
ning handily in straight heats, Welcome, the favorite, refus-
ing to race at all, besides acting very badly at the post and
delaying the start f"r half an hour. The nine-sisteenths was
a splendid race, Su6ie S. being at once installed favorite, and
though she had rather the worst of the send-off, she came
down the home-stretch like a whirlwind, running the dis-
tance in 55 seconds, which ties the record. F. Leninger's
two-year-old, Wait-a-bit, was given a trial quarter in 23|,
and then the three trotters and one pacer had the track, and
despite losing one heat the race was never in doubt, for
Franklin was too last for the others all the way.

The judges were U. S. Gregory, O. Plnmmer and W. P.
Peck. Timers, C. T. Boots and Archie Stephenson. Starter,
"Worth Ober.

Running Stake for all ages; $25 entrance, $10 forfeit; $200 added, of

Welcome sulked at the post and delayed the start for some
time. Eventually they were despatched with Alfarata two
lengths in front of Kildare, the rest bunched close up; going
round the turn Hello and Longshot passed Kildare and closed
np on the leader, but despite a vigorous challenge from both,
Alfarata won cleverly, by a length from Longshot, with flello
three lengths back.
The field now sold for §10, Welcome $6. and Hello SI.
Welcome again caused a long delay. "When sent off, Hot-
spur had a trifle the best of it, but Alfarata rushed to the
fore, and went round the bend two lengths in front of
Hotspur with Welcome close up, Hello fourth-coming "fast.
"When fairly in the straight, Alfarata was two lengths in front
of Hello, with Longshot third, the latter both whipping. Al-
farata bqueezed out a length and a half in front of Longshot,
who beat Hello two lengths for the place.

Little Doc had the pole and after scoring up twice went off
at a merry pace, going round the turn two lengths in front
of Franklin who was level with Eva, a length in front of
Thapsin. At the quarter, Doc was two lengths in front of
Franklin and two in front of Eva. Franklin was driven up
now and at the half was level with the pacer and trotting
steadily gradually drew away going round the upper turn
and into the homestretch two lengths in front, with Doc
seven ahead of Thapsin. Doc broke half way down the
stretch and was pulled almost to a walk, Franklin showing
up passed the wire three lengths in front of Thapsin, two in
front of Eva, with Doc just inside the distance.

Pools now sold (Franklin barred): Thapsin $10, field $4.

They scored up half a dozen times for the word, when
Franklin at once went to the front, Eva breaking before the
turn. Franklin led ThapBin two lengths past the quarter,
but going down the backstretch the grey trotted in bis old
style, and was level at the half-mile pole, both trotting
steadily head and head round the turn and into the home-
stretch, both horses were driven hard to the distance flag,
where Thapsin broke, but catching readily, was onlv beaten
three-quarters of a length, the other pair just saving their
distance.

t No pools weTe sold on the third heat. At the third attempt
they were let go, and Doc breaking almost at once, Thapsin
went on in front, and led Franklin two lengths all the way
round the tnrn, Dp the backstretch and into the home-
stretch; a distance from home Franklin broke, and Thapsin
won by four lengths, Franklin second, five lengths in front
of Eva.

A few pools were now sold at $10 on Franklin to $7 for
the field.

At the fifth score *he bell was lapped. Doo who was in
front broke badly, Thapsin and Franklin trotting round the
torn level, three lengths in front of Eva. Up the back
stretch all three trotted grandly, Evu closing, was level with
Franklin fit the half pole, with Thapsin only a half length
behind. Half way round the turn ThapBin broke and dropped
back; Franklin had a half length the best of Eva at the head
of the stretch, and kept it down the homestretch to the dis-
tance pole, where Eva who had been trotting magnih"cently
broke, but catching readily was only beaten about half a
length, with Thapsin six lengths behind, and Doc who had
run all the way just saving his distance.

Two Standard
bred Colts,

BRED BY'
CALVI V II. FKEW.

First.

A«;m:s FREW, a filly foaled April 7, 18B8,at
San Diego. She is of a dark chestnut color, body
and legs; no white, except stripe on face. She was
15 months old July 7tb, and her last monthly record
of weight and height showed her to he 55 inches
high, and lo weigh 095 pounds, with a girth of 62i
inches, and Ik- inches around the forearm. Bow 1b
that for a trotter only 15 months old ? In conforma*
Hon and general proportion she is admirably built,
with wonderfully good hind quarters, wide hipB,
good cannon hones, exceptionally good hoofs, and
fine fit knees, She is sound all over, a rare beauty
and the best judges predict that she will show great
speed and be the mother of many fast trotters She
is halter and hi idle broke, and stands without tie
ing wbih* being groomed.

Her pedigree is extra. Sbe was sired by Woodlake
at Paxton, Ills. He by Woodford's Mambrino. Sire's
firBt dam was Hager; she by Alexander's Abdallah.
Hager, was the rnothtr of the great Countersign.
Hager's dam was hy Downing's Bay Messenger.
Hager's second dam was bySlrArchy. Alexander's
Abdallah sired the peerless Goldsmith Maid and
five others that made in better than 2:30 Aleo Bired
twelve stallions that sired eighty-six trotters in
Letter than 2:30; also sired nineteen dams tnat pro-
duced twenty trotters in better than 2:30.

Gay, the dam of Agnes Frew, was sired by John
Bright. He by that matchless stallion Volunteer.
He is the sire of St. Jullen, who is Gay's half uncle.
Gay resembles him so much ihat strangers who were
acquainted with him at.first sight of Gay took her for
St. Julien. Volunteer, among horsemen, has a
national reputation, so needless to follow bis pedi-
gree.

Gay is a dark bright bay oolor; black mane, tail and
legs. A powerfully built animal of great force and
agility. Sbe is fast, but was never tracked or trained.
Ber dam was Fashion; she by a Kentucky thorough-
bred stallion. In rlfiy or more races Fashion took
first prize or first money. She was a wonder. I
owned her wheu I bred Gay. bashion was bred by
A. J. Reed of Irish Grove, 111. Her dam was a high
bred Hambletonian.

These statements are not guess s, but susceptible
of proof, and can be relied on as a verity. I will part
with her for $1,000. It is a great bargain, a rare
opportunity.

Second..

I will sell said HAY"* STAIXION COLT,

foaled March 10, 1889, in San Diego, Cal. It Is a
seal brown color, with black mane and tail. On each
of three feet some .vhite, and a small spot in fore-
head. It has an extra good body, finely muscled up
all around, closely coupled, and got a short back,
with fine hips. When foaled it measured 36J inches
high, at 1 month S'Jg inches high, and weigedlOB lbs.
At i months old, 47 inches high, and weighed MO
pounds. Last month both colts have grown rapidly,
and they are beauties. It was sired by Alert, he by
Aihertou. Alert's dam was the famous Peuoda.

Price of this colt, named Atherton Jr., is S200
when weaned. Any correbpoudtnee addressed to

SAN" FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, AUG. 17, 1889.

Nutwood Stock Farm-

Br Grim.

There is probably no stock farm in the State of which so
little is known as the one whose name heads this article.
When, a few days ago, I learned for the first time that there
was a farm nestled away in the Alameda Valley, where there
were broodmares in great variety and a stallion or two that
wonldbe a credit to any breeding establishment in the State,
the determination was taken at once to pay a visit to the fa-
vored locality and see what the stock consisted of. The
train stops at Irvington, in the upper end of Alameda Coun-
ty, a pretty little town, with every appearance of thrift and
prosperity, it being surrounded by first-class land of the
very best description, the hilly ground beiDg thickly studded
with vines, .while the low lands are devoted to grain, with
here and there an orchard. A little more than a mile from
the station is the Nutwood Stook Farm, consisting of 375
acres, the larger portion of which is used for the well-bred
horses and cattle, of which there is a multiplicity. Mr. Mar-
tin Carter purchased the farm about rive years ago, havine
already accumulated a few broad mares and a princely Btal-
lion.

The proprietor was not bound with the strong bias so fre-
quently to be found among breeders, but selected the best of
the stout trotting strains, and from a very small commence-
ment has now a large and well equipped establishment which
Bhould prove before long one of the leading stock farms of
California. When the place was bought there were no con-
veniences of any sort, but Mr, Carter set to work with a will,
and benefitting from the experience of others, has erected
stabling, corrals and paddocks than which there is no better
anywhere. Each and every horse has a great roomy bos-
stall, and in many instances there are petitioned off from
each Btall small paddocks, so that the occupants can run
around the enclosure or stay under cover, just as they choose.

The half-mile track built on the farm is a very fast one,
and is in use almost daily, the speedy youngster taking as
kindly to their work as they do to the comforts which sur-
round them. Director, Antevolo, Nutwood, Whipple's Ham-
bletonion, Anteeo, Steinway, Albert W., Guy Wilkes, and in
faot all the beBt trottiDg blood of California is represented
here, Mr. Carter having spared neither time nor money in
selecting the very best. Individuality has not been lost sight
of in making the grand collection, and rare good judgment
has been displayed, the fine old matrons presenting no blem-
ishes to mar their sightly appearance. California has many
rare and wonderful sights to please the eye of the Eastern
tourists, but I do not know of anything that is so thoroughly
enjoyable as to see a fiee large body of brood mares, bred in
the purple, their sleek, gloBsy coats shining in the sun, and
each one a representative of the family to which she may
belong, and it is jest such a sight as this that can be seen at
Mr. Carter's, the grand dames showing by their looks that
they appreciated the attention paid them. The leading
stallion on the farm is California Nutwood, a beautiful dark
cheBtnut, showing much of the conformation of old Nutwood,
but still withal has a more stately appearance. He was
oaled in 1881, iB over sixteen hands high, and is the picture
of a fast trotter. He has been handled but very little for
speed, Mr. Miller, his trainer, being called away to attend to
business on the circuit. However, there is no question
whatever as to his speed, for on the half-mile track he can
show better than 2:30. This taken in consideration with the
'act that all of his get are powerful, well muscled, and with
extremely good legs, in addition to the speed they all show,
commends California Nutwood to the attention of every
breeder in the State. His pedigree is as follows:

California Nutwood by Nutwood, record 2:18$. he by Bel-
mont, he by Alexander Abdallah, he byRjsdyk's Hamble-

toniau. California Nutwood's dam was Fanny Patchen by
Geo. M. Patchen Jr., record 2:27, he by Geo. M. Patchen,
record 2:23i, he by Cassius M. Clay, he by Henry Clay; sec-
ond dam Laura, was a fine large bay mare, a very fast road-
ster brought from Chicago by Wm. Wilson, of San Jose, and
is Baid to have made a record of 2:35 in Chicago; pedigree
not traced.

Now, let ub see what we find in this pedigree. Nutwood,
all things considered, has no equal, living or dead. Iu 1SS6,
when only 16 years old, with limited opportunity in the
stud, and only while in Kentucky had he any good mares.
There wa his colts sold from six weeks up to 2 years

for $211,995 00, an average of $1,547.40 each, and 82 of this
lot at public auction. He had a record himself of 2*1S|, and
had 14 trotters and pacers in the 2:30 list when sold himself
under the hammer for"$22.000. He has now 24 in the 2:30
list, from 2:15 to 2:30, and the only horse that ever lived
with a record under 2:20 that five of bis produce have records
under 2:20.

George M. Patchen, Jr., 2:27, sire of dam of California
Nutwood, is sire of Wells Fargo, 2:18f, Sam Purdy, 2:20£,
Ben Ali, 2:22, and six others, from 2:21 to 2:30. He has 8
sons with 13 trotters in 2:30 or better, and 5 daughters with
4 trotters and 1 pacer in the 2:30 or better.

Here is a glorious showing of speed lines for those who
study the great producing families, and as California Nut-
wood is also an individual of more than ordinary beauty, he
will undoubtedly be one of the fashionable sires of the near
future.

In an adjoining stall we find Nutwood Wilkes, a yearling
stallion by Guy Wilkes, 2:15 J, dam Lida W., 2:26, by Nut-
wood, 2:18f . I am not naturally of a covetous disposition,
but it would suit me much better if I owned Nutwood Wilkes
than to have him the property of anyone else. Oh! what a
kingly little fellow he is, with splendid head, well arched
neck, good round barrel, well formed quarters, and a set of
legs that cannot be beat. His grandam isby Geo. M. Patchen
Jr., and his great grandam was Rebel Daughter, by William'
son's Belmont. The grandsire, Geo. M. Patchen Jr., waB half
brother to the grandam of Stamboul, so thus we combine in
this magni6cent young gentleman, the blood of Wilkes, Nat-
wood, and that flowing in|the veins of Stamboul. All hail,
royally bred Natwood Wilkes; may you live to be a credit to
your owner aed also to your native State.

Long Branch is a handsome yearling by Antevolo, 2:19A,
dam Zolo by Steinway, 2:25f {aB a three year old), 2nd dam
Funny Malone (trial 2;29) by Niagara. This is another of
the grand lookers, his only fault being that there is a trifle
too much daylight under him, and to many there might be
another fault, he looks too much like a thoroughbred, where-
as, to my mind, it is an added beauty, that enhances his
value, especially as he knows no other gait than trot. He is
a dark bay, with black points, star and Bnip, left hind pas-
tern white. He gives one the impression that he will be a
tall, powerful horse when developed, and will be of the
speedy sort, for he can, even at this early age, show a good
gait.

Mr. Carter usually names his own horses, but there is one
that the boys requested they might name, so the proprietor
gave them permission, and a pretty bay suckling has been
christened John L, on account of his great muscular devel-
opment. The colt is by California Nutwood, the dam being
Cinderella 2:35, by Whipple's Hambletonian; second dam
Lady Bell by Williamson's Belmont. Lady Bell is the
grandam of Emeline, owned by Senator Stanford, who lately
at Sacramento made a record ot 2:274. The third dam of
John L. is Post, by Lance, he by American Eclipse.

Still another handsome suckling is Rapid Transit, by Di-
rector, dam Lida W, 2:2G, the dam of Nutwood Wilkes. He
shows all the characteristics of his celebrated sire, and is a
valuable addition to the many that already grace Nutwood

Stock Farm. Having said so much about the horse colts it
is only just that something should be said about the brood
mares. There are bo many of them, that I know Mr. Car-
ter will pardon me in only mentioning Bonie of them, still
where there are such numbers it is extremely difficult to se-
lect those to mention for they are all deserving of notice.

On general conformation and good looks I want to give
the pride of place to Lida W. by Natwood, and the con Fic-
tion is honest when I state that this is one of the best ap-
pearing mares in the State. Kind, gentle and affectionate,
this old lady impressed me as being a gem among gems. She
only received a record of 2:26, but one of the beat known
drivers in California says that she is the fastest mare he ever
sat behind, and it can be readily believed, for she has the ap-
pearance of possessing great speed. At her side is a suckling
colt by Director, and she was bred again this year to the
same sire.

Next comes Puss, a bay filly, three years old, by California
Natwood, her dam being a fast pacing mare, of untraced ped-
gree.

Newark Belle, grey mare, eight years old by Natwood 600,
dam Tillie by San Bruno, he by David Hill, 2nd dam by
Grey Eagle, 3rd dam by Gen, Taylor. Newark Belle has
shown a mile this year, on Mr. Carter's half mile Uack in
2:43, and she will be sent for a record this fall.

Tillie is another of the good olk-s and is the dam of Newark
Belle, bhe is grey in color, and is by San Bruno out of a Grey
Eagle mare, the second dam being by Gen. Taylor. Some
years ago, she was matched to trot at San Jose, and although
capable of going much faster, she won the three heats easily,
the best time being 2:50. Her get are all pictures of beauty,
and noted for their great endurance.

Lady Whipple, as the name will indicate, is by Whipple's
Hambletonian 725, dam Algerine. She is a chestnut, per-
fect in every respect, and should prove a good matron.

Zolo C. is still anotherof the h.xnasome coterie. She is a
chestnut, four years old, by California Natwood, dam Zolo,
by Steinway 2:25£.

Nettie G. is a dark Day, five years old, by Anteeo, dam by
Venture 2:27], 2nd dam was by Messenger, and was brought
from the Eist by Mr. Rankin. The good stout blood lines
of California Nutwood should cross exceedingly well with
those of Nettie G.

Star is a bay mare, nine years old, by Natwood, dam said
to be by Goldsmith's Volunteer. Now, if there is anything
provoking in a pedigree, it is the symbolic characters s t b,
and the story about Star is so peculiar that it will bear re-
peating. J. W. Knox bad two mares in Kentucky bred to
Nutwood, which he offered for sale to a gentleman in San
Jose. He agreed to deliver them at a certain price in Califor-
nia, and the offer was accepted, it being understood that one
was by Goldsmith's Volunteer and the other by Hiatoga.
When the mares arrived here Knox wanted to collect $38 for
a feed bill, which he had incurred when he brought the mares
overland. The gentleman refused to pay the demand, and
Knox refused to verify the pedigrees, so that, although the
mares were taken, it was not positively known which was
which. The one that is the dam of Star has all the strongly-
marked attributes of the gr^at old horse, and as several
attempts have been made to buy her by unknown parties, it
is presumed that it is known to several how the mare is bred.
Star, on personal individuality, is a remarkably well put up
animal, and I expect to hear good things about her in the
stud.

Zolo is a chestnut, seven years old, by Steinway, dam Fan-
ny Malone, by Niagara. She was one of the brood mares
selected by Mr. Carter to breed to Noonday, and is now in foal
to that well bred Btallion.

I also noticed a very handsome grey filly by Aotevo.
Newark Belle by Nutwood. She has not received a i
yet, but will receive a suitable one before long.

There were also two fine bay fillies, both by California
Nutwood, the dam of one being Nettie G.: by Anteeo, while
the other is out of Lew G., by Albert W.

Cinderella is a chestnut, sixteen years old, by Whipple's
Hambletonian, dam Lady Bell, by "Williamson's Belmont; 2nd
dam Puss, by Lance. This rar6, good old mare has been
under the weather lately, but is now pulling through nicely.
Her last foal is being brought up by hand, bat shows no sign
of maternal neglect, being a strong, sturdy little fellow.

Another of the lot worth more than passing mention is
Annie Titus, by Echo, dam by the Tiffney mare (the dam of
Gibraltar, 2:2'2\). Annie JTitus is seven years old, and is a
handsome bay. Sbe has had several foals, some of which
are mentioned below.

Colima, ch m, seven years old, is by Whipple's Hamble-
tonian, dam Ellen by Jack Hawkins, a son of Boston. She
has a fine colt by Designer, he by Director.

Lew G., br m, five years old, iB by Albert W., dam Tillie
by San Bruno. This is quite a fast mare, and she has gone
the route in 2:36, and that over the half-mile track, so Bhe
should be able to get into the list.

Another pair of unnamed bay fillies were by California Nut-
wood, the dam of one being Tillie by San Bruno, while the
other is indebted for life to Kitty by Speculation.

Still another of the great unnamed is a filly three years old
by Director, dam Annie Titus by Echo, On account of her
personal excellence, this one was also bred to Noonday.

Kitty is a brown mare by Speculation, dam Kitty Milk by
Burr's Washington; second dam Lady Almack by Almack.
Kitty has already increased the number of youngsters at the
farm, the laBt comer being a beautiful .filly by California
Nutwood.

Queen ib one of the ancients, having passed her half score
of years, but iB in full vigor, and the happy possessor of a
horse colt by California Nutwood. She is by Venture, 2:27},
dam a Messenger mare.

Annie C, bay mare, four years old, is by California Nut-
wood, dam Annie Titus by Eoho.

Mollie C. is a chestnut mare, four years old, by California
Nutwood, dam Cinderella by Whipple's Hambletonian.

Maud, ch f, three years old, by California Nutwood, dam
Zolo by Steinway.

Maggie, b f, two years old, by California Nutwood, dam
Maud by the Grand Moor; seoond dam Cinderella by
Whipple's Hambletonian; third dam Puss by Lance, he by
American Eclipse.

And so I could go on for Btill another column, adding
name after name to the list, but it will be seen that the Nat.
wood Stock Farm is well supplied with brood mares, and
they of the best. There are several fine yearlings that
should be individually mentioned, but space will not per
mit.

Mr. Carter also has a stock animal of some repute, named
Marsabi, a Norman stallion, imported from Prance, Febru-
ary 12, 1SS4. Coal black, a well formed head, with small
star in forehead and a rangy arched neck, high on the withers,
prominent shoulders, full in the breast, closely ribbed and
heavy and well coupled back, broad rump and nicely turned
hip, heavy through the stifle, good clean flat leg excellent
feet, a very active horse and easily handled, heavy mane and
tail, 16£ hands high, weight 1800 pounds, S years old.

Mr. Carter has a favorite breed of cattle, and they are the
Herefords, one enormous big fellow that was shown me,
weighing over a ton. But all visits must come to an end,
and as train time approaches, there is only a moment to look
at the orchard, where the luscious plums and peaches are
enticing euough to tempt any person. Now a word to those
who like to visit.well appointed stock farms; when you are
on your travels do not forget to visit the Nutwood Stock
Farm, and you will always find the latch string hanging on
Lhe outside; and there are plenty of courteous attendants
to show you one of the best appointed breeding establish-
ments in the State.

Races at Oakland.

lone Races.

THUKSDAY.

On Friday afternoon, the 11th inst., too late for issue in
the last Breeder and Sportsman, there waB a match race
for $200 a side at the Oakland Trotting Park, between Chas.
Thornquest's pacing mareGerster, and Irvin Ayres's trotting
mare Clara P. Notwithstanding that the race had been well
advertised, and other attractions promised, the attendance
was very small. The judges in the stand were Messrs. Bon-
ner, Welsh and Hinchmau, they also acting as timekeepers-
The first heat was rather uneventful, Clara P. winning easy
in 2:40. In the second heat the contestants seemed to awake
to a sense of what was expected from them, for they started
off in good shape, the quarter being reached in 3CJ seconds,
the half being negotiated in 1:13J. JubI after passing the
half the pacer broke badly, and it seemed impossible to stop
her running while in the meantime Clara P. was trotting fair-
Iv and squarely, increasing her distance at almost every step.
The balance of the heat w«s uninteresting, Clara P. gaining
an easy heat in 2:29i. In the laBt half Gersta came very
rapidly, bat was bo far in the rear when sbe settled that there
never was a chance for her to win. The third beat was
only a repetition of the others, the trotter having things all
own way winning the heat and race in 2:35.

When the first heat was finished Mr. Hines brought out
Lady Bess. & Mambrino Willies mare, to have her beat three
mioutes, the consideration being a suit of horse olothes, of-
fered by the lessee of the track, if Bhe could perform the
trick. When the word was given the mare started off quietly,
but had speed enough to carry her past the wire in 2:57.

The weather kept good, the heat never being excessive, and
the attendance was much better. One of the best races ever
seen in California was witnessed on the lone track, McGin-
niss, with 127 pounds up, running a slashing mile and a
quarter, only beaten half a length in 2:08*. Pliny, of course,
won the two-year-old race. The other race was a trot for
three horses who had stood in the county last season and
was the outcome of a good deal of badinage, eaoh owner put-
ting up $250, the winner to take the pot. Colonel by Old
Rehunce won easily in straight heats to the delight of the
local talent who fancied him immensely. The taotios pur-
sued were interesting, for there was not a Bound horse in the
trio, and Colonel had to go right out.

The judges were President U. S. Gregory, E. J. Gregory
(Mayor of Saoramento) and Oliver Plummer. Timers — A.
Stephenson, W. Donathan and C. T. Boots. Starter— Worth

Hooker went right up to E. D., and the pair raced round the
upper turn, with Pliny three lengths behind and Earl two
further in the rear half way down the straight. In the straight
Pliny challenged theleaders, and had them both beaten, when
Earl, who came with a rattle, hunted him home a length be-
hind, E. D. three lengths back, third, and Hooker two further
back.

After several attempts Ober got them all off together. Wild

lengths ahead of Lurline, McGinnis a length behind and
Forrester last. They went round the turn and passed the
half in the same order, Bessie Shannon and Mikado being
olose up fourth and fifth. Lurline dropped out of the race
at the upper turn and Mikado dosed np rapidly, and when
in the straight came with a wet Bail taking the lead a furlong
from home, and despite McGinnis brilliant effort under whip
and spur, Mikado beat him out half a length, Wild Oats
three lengths behind with ForeBter who made up a lot of
ground in the laBt quarter, a good fourth and Lurline last.
Mr. Samuels claimed a foul which was not allowed and rightly
bo, for although Mikado swerved he did not interfere with
McGinnis.

Time, 2:50, 2:4fi2,2:47.

First Heat— Pools, Colonel $25, Ajax $9, Wilkes $4.

Wilkes had the pole and after very little scoring, they went
off well together. Ajar broke first, but catching at once was
a length behind Wilkes with Colonel a length in the rear at
the quarter, Colonel settled down to work and trotting well
all three were level at the three-eighth pole when Wilkes
broke dropping back. The other pair trotted together to the
upper turn, when Colonel drew away being four lengths to
the good at the three-quarter pole an 3 with both his oppo-
nents breaking in the stretch, won readily by four lengths,
Ajar five in front of Wilkes.

Second heat— pools, Colonel $20, Field $6.

After a good deal of tiresome scoring, Colonel went out in
front and with Wilkes breaking badly, was three lengths in
front at. the quarter, Ajar same ahead of Wilkes. The rasfc of
the distance was only exercise for Colonel, who trotted home
at his leisure, passing the wire with Ajax nicely inside the
distance and Wilkes who ran most of tne way jost in.

Third heat — No pools sold.

There was again a long and tedious scoring for the word,
and when they did start, Ajax trotting well, led Colonel a
neck all the way to the quarter pole, but breaking before the
half was reached, was five lengths behind and breaking again
on the turn, and in the homestretch, finished four lengths in
front of Wilkes who just saved his distance by hard running,
Colonel pulling up almos. to a walk.

FRIDAY.

At half past eleven, in brilliant weather, four lady riders
turned out for the equestrian tournament, and a little later
three others turned up and were allowed to compete. After
a good deal of cantering, galloping and walkiog, single, double
and all together, the prizes were awarded; first, to Miss
Edith Bradley, a plucky little Sacramento girl 6f thirteen,
who handled her grey m workmanlike style; Becond, to Miss
LeMay (also from Sacramento) on her well known bay baok;
Mise Plummer Cosumnes was third; Miss Sarah Isaminger
fourth, riding without a saddle; Miss Lizzie Pine fifth; Mjbs
Mabel Gibson sixth, and Mrs. Veercamp seventh. The
latter rode a rough, awkward mustang with ease and grace,
and evidently is, as sbe was said to be, hard to beat on any
kind of a horse. The judges were Chris Green, Esq., Sheriff
McMullun and G. W. Wilson.

In the afternoon the stand was packed with ladies, and a
representative gathering of horsemen were below on the
ground. The judges were President Gregory, E. J. Gregory
(Siioramento) and E. S Culver (Secretary Blood Horse Asso-
ciation.) Timers, Archie Stephenson, C. T. Boots and Dan
Dennison. Staiter, Worth Ober.

The half mile and repeat, with only two starters, was con-
ceded a good thing for Susie S., who won the first heat easily
in 0:4SA, and iu the second, despite Narvioe's attempt at the
head of the stretch when he took the rails, causing the mare
(Susie) to go outside in the heavy going, Bhe ran the last
quarter in twenty-two Beconds, winning cleverly at the linish.

The mile and repent had only three to face the flag, and
Welcome in the first heat (iu a hood, and with ears stuffed)
refusing to race; Wild Oats, the favorite, won all the way.

In the second, Welcome, running without hood or any
extra ornaments, was worse than ever, Wild Oats again win-
ning easily.

The 2:40 trot brought out four. The three-year-old (jaggers-
won the first heat easily, and looked as though he would dis
tance his field, but quit badly in the stretch, the next three-
heats being easily won by Mary Lou, who is the seoond of Tom
Benton's get to figure in the thirty list, and with ordinary
luck sbe should easily lower her present record before the
fall, as Bhe was evidently not used to company, and besides
had a good deal in hand in every heat.

SUMMARY.

No pools were sold on either heat. At the second attempt
they were despatched head and head, and ran level round the
turn and into the straight, where Cook on the inside drew
out and, watching his opponent, won easily by three lengths-
in 0:48 J.

Iu the second heat they again started off without any waste of
Mme.and ran locked together to the turn, where the grey gradu-
ally drew out, and turning into the straight, just and only clear
of Susie, Narvice deliberately took the rails, and Cook, having
to come on the outside, sat down a furlong from home, and
rode Susie hard, and with the mare answering every call and
displaying a phenomenal burst of speed, was in front at the
draw-gate, winning cleverly at the finish by three lengths in
48 seconds.

which he increased to two at the quarter. Welcome second,
two in front of Lurline. Up the back stretch Lurline closed
up on Welcome and went round the turn level, two lengths
behind Wild Oats; the latter was running easy three lengths
to the good at the three-quarter, with Lurline half a length in
front o£ Welcome. Lurline, under persuasion, closed a little
on Wild Oats, but, swerving under the whip, finished two
open lengths behind him, Hitchcock having a little in reserve.
Welcome was half a length behind Lurline.

Second heat. — No pools were sold. At the fourth attempt
Wild Oats and Lurline cut out the pace, being level at the
quarter, with Welcome two lengths behind. Lurline got her
head in front and stayed there for the next quarter, when
Wild Oats drew away from her, being a clear leDgth to the
good at the head of the stretch, and with Lurline ridden out,
Wild Oats won handily by a length and a half. Welcome,
who caught whip and spur down the straight, ran all over
the course, only just saving her distance, pulling up when
pursuit was useless.

First heat— Pools sold: Lou $10; Babe $7; Field S8; and then,
changed Field 310; Rabe $b; Lou §5.

After scoring a short time, they were tapped off level.
Rabe and Redwood broke before the turn was reached, and
Jaggers, trotting right out, was eight lengths in front of Lon
at the quarter, with Redwood two farther back and five in
front of Babe. Jaggers increased his lead down the back
stretob, and Redwood drew up to Lou, being level at the
half, Beven lengths in front of Rabe. Jaggers, trotting grand-
ly, looked like shutting the two out, but, slowing down in
last hundred yards, they all saved their distance, Lou fin-
ishing second two lengths in front of Redwood, three in
front of Rabe (who was run bard), just inside. Time, 2:31£.

Second heat -Pools sold: Lou S10; Field S5; Rabe ?2.

Lou broke at the start, and was five lengths behind Jag-
gers at the quarter, with Rabe two lengths back. Jaggers in-
creased his lead down the back Btretob to seven lengths, Lou
second, rive in front of Redwood, who had passed Rabe at
the head of the stretch. Jaggers was seven lengths to the
good and looked all over a winner, but, dying away to noth-
ing, was easily beaten by Lou, who trotted very fast, and had
she not been slowed down would havo shut Rabe out. She
finished five lengths in front of Jaggers, who was three in
advance of Redwood, with Rabe last. Time, 2:30.

Third beat— Pools sold: Lou ?10; Field S5.

After a good deal of scoring, Lou started out well, but,
breaking on the turn, was a length and a half behind Jaggers
at the quarter, but, trotting steadily, caught him at the three
eight pole, and going was three lengths in front of the tiio,
all level at the half. Redwood and Rabe kept together round
the turo, while Jaggers dropped back. When fairly in the
stretch, Dennison drove a fist eighth, aud looked like oatch-
ing McCord, but bis horse died away at the finish, and the
mare won by two and a half lengths, Redwood just saving
hiB distance and Juggera palpably out, but the flag was not
dropped. Time, 2:30.

Fourth heat— No pools sold.

A good deal of time was wasted Bcoring up. When tapped
off Rabe left his feet, but, catching handily, was level with
the mare at the quarter. Lou trotted very gamely, and
gradually drew away, being a length in front at the half, and,
with Rabe breaking up, was three to the good at the three-
quarters, and won, pulling up by four lengths. Rabe, who
left bis feet at the distance poll, caught handily, finishing
three lengths behind. Redwood trotted squarely allthrough,
was just inside a Bhade in front of Jaggers, who ran nearly
all the way and was distanced. Time, 2:33.

SATURDAY.

An extra day was given on Saturday, and though the at-
tendance waB pojr, nearly everyone having left on the morn-
ing train, one of the races, the seven furlong, was worth
staying for. Narvice rode a well-calculated race on Nabeau,
Betting up in the laBt few strides. The free for all trot, with
three starters, turned out an easy thing for Thapsin. Frank*
liu went rather lame, aud Mr. Cropsey's mare was hardly fast
enough. Tbapsin's third beat was the best ever trotted on
the track. In the mile Nerva had so much the beBt of the
start, owing to the assiBtant flagman's slowness, that the race
was over, but in auy case she would probably have won, as
she seemed to be in great form. Judges, Messrs. Gregory,

Eva had a length the worst of the start. Thapsin trotting

he closed up and got to his wheel at the drawgate, but break-
ing was beaten four lengths, Eva fifty yards back.

Second heat — Pools Thapsin $10, FraDklin $5, Eva 1.
Thapsin again went out at a merry clip, having a couple
of lengths to the good all the way up the baok Btretch, Eva

of the homestretch, Thapsin bad a three lengths lead and won
easily by two lengths, Franklin second, Eva pulling up a bad
third.
Third heat— No pools Eold.

After a lot cf time had been wasted scoring for the word,
Franklin got the worst of the start, having to come round
Eva after the first turn was made. At the half, Thapsin was
three lengths in front, Franklin second, with Eva at his
wheel. The grey slightly increased his lead round the turn
and taking the middle of the track won easily by four
lengths from second.

The fair wound up in good style, aDd lone has every reas-
on to be proud of its success, but when one considers that in
the valley are lots of good horsemen and farmers, it is not to
be wondered at. Among the prominent local horsemen
present were John Walters of Altaville, who has a three- quar-
ter race track at Angels. Mr. Walters says tnat a good
thoroughbred sire would make a very successful season in
Calaveras, as there are quite a lot of well bred mares in that
section, and not a decent horse standing anywhere near. If
Calaveras and Tuolumne have a fair this fall, Mr. Walters
will have a week'B racing immediately after at Angels. lone
Valley should have several breeding farms, for alfalfa grows
luxuriantly and the nights are mild and cool. Mike Hefferan
as he is locally known, besides being the constable for the
district, has a very pretty little place, about 150 aores juBt
outside the town, which if he would only sell, would make a
very suitable breeding farm. W. O. Scully, one of the
wealthiest and largest land owners in Amador, set his neigh-
bors a good example by bringing his family every day to the
races and taking in the Pavilion at night.

Mr. Smith, of Bohnerville, the owner of Susie S., was
present all the week, looking perfectly happy. Messrs.
Kelly & Samuels still have the mare leased from him, but not
for any definite time.

The racing whs as good as any ever witnessed in the State,
several of the finishes being remarkably close, while the time
made, show that for a running track, it is hard to beat. The
pool-selling, ably conducted by Al Leach, gave general satis-
faction. The Secretary, C. T. La Grave, was considerate and
courteous to everyone, filling his many positions as well as
possible when one considers that he was clerk of the scales,
and also wrote up tbe blackboard every time; perhaps it
would be as well to allow him an assistant or two next meeting.
Worth Ober, the well known Sacramento trainer, gave general
satisfaction as starter on the first four days, being very care-
ful and painstaking, as he always is.

The premiums in the horse and cattle department were
awarded on Thursday, and the winners afterwards paraded.
The awards were:

Class I., Thoroughbred Horses — Stallion, three years old
and upward, $15, Morton, S. C. Tryon, Sacramento.

In the pavilion, which was open every night, there was a
great display of agricultural necessaries, grain, corn, fruits,

to be none to be had in the town. Several well known
speakerB delivered addresses at different times, amougBt the
beBt known of whom were Secretary of State Hendrick?,
Mayor Gregory (Sacramento), De Harvey, Hon. J. C. Brusie
and A. Caminetti. Dancing was indulged in on two even-
ings up to a late hour.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphippus.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

On September 12th a grand exhibition and Ladies night
will be given by the Olympic Club, at the Grand Opera
House. Tbe programme will embrace gymnastics, boxing,
fencing and wrestling. Professor J. J. Corbett will box, four
rounds with another notable expert in the art. The exhibi-
tion is for the benefit of the Oat-Door Grounds fund, and
tickets will be $1 00 for admissiou, reserved seatB $1 50.

It is most probable that the P. A. C. will erect a building
in three or four weeks which will be fitted up in the moBt
elaborate style.

The exhibition of the Pacific Athletic Club and the Gol-
den Gate Athletic Club were the only events of importance
that took place during tbe past week. The new training
grounds of the Olympic Athletic Club will not be ready
by Admission Day, and the athletes will be compelled
to keep in training a few weeks longer. The amateur
boxers of the California Athletic Club are anxious to find out
if they will have the championship all to themselves, as it is
thought that the associate clubs of the P. C. A. A. A. will
not allow their men to enter the tournament.

There will be an exhibition of the Olympic Athletic Club
at the Grand Opera House on Saturday evening next, Sept.
21st. The receipts of the eveniDg will be added to the out
door grounds fund.

The lovers of athletic sports thronged the spacious gym-
nasium of the Pacific Athletic Club, on Thursday evening
last, when its regular monthly exhibition was held. Full
particulars of the different events will be given in our next
issue.

The seventh annual games of the San Francisco Athletic
Club will be held at Badger's Park to-morrow. In the ama-
teur races valuable gold and silver medals will be awarded
the different winners. Several of the leading athletes of the
coast have signified their intention of entering the games.

The new athletic grounds of the Olympic Athletic Club
will not be ready by September 9fch, and the games that
were to be held on that day will not take place till about
October 1st. This postponement will be a disappointment
to the athletes who have been in training for several weeks
past, as it will compel them to continue training for six or
seven weeks longer.

More than twenty athletic clubs exist in San Francisco to-
day, but out of that number only five clubs deserve recogni-
tion as legitimate athletic clubs. Thes clubs are the Olympic,
the California, the Golden Gate, the Pacific, and the Athen-
eum.

Now the bars at the different athletic clubs are closed up
the prize-fighters will no longer find attraction in the club-
rooms and the genuine athletes will be rid of their presence.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

The Bay District tracks are both in good condition for
training purposes, and the runners and walkers are evidently
taking advantage of the fact.

For the last week or so the boys have been training by
moonlight at the Bay District track, and the people in that
neighborhood are just beginning to get used to their war-
hoops.

Sprinter Williams, of the O. A. C, is earning quite a name
for himself as a starter, and his manly form may be Been
almost any evening in the pale moonlight at tbe Bay District
track, where he instructs a large olasB of novices in the art of
"leaving the mark" a la Schifferstein.

Captain Phil. Moodey, of the Pacific Athletic Club, and his
"little picnic basket" are constant visitors at the Bay District
track. The Captain is thinking about substita tins a valise
for the "basket," as itattracts the attention of all the "dorgs"
in that vioinity, and dogs and sprinting evidently do not go
hand in hand.

Champion McArthur was at the track one evening recently,
taking notes. He was unable to discover any mile runners,
and returned home with a light heart.

Neither Coffin nor Jarvis have as yet msde their appear-
ance in the open air, but it is thought that both men will
commence to train early next week.

Schifferstein. who is at present living in San Jose, is prac-
ticing for the long and high jumps, and in the former event
he is almost certain to lower the record at the next meeting.
It is also thought that he will defeat Moffet, of the U. A. C,
in the running high jump.

It is said (hat two walking events will be included on the
O. A. C. programme. We think this a good idea, but we
would suggest that one of the races be a sprint one, say a
one hundred yards dash or a quarter of a mile; for two long
distance walking races would prove very monotonous to the
peoplo of the Pacific CoaBt, as that kind of pastime at ama-
teur meetings in California is still in its infancy.

We hope that all the athletes who will enter the lists for
the coming outdoor tournament of the O. A. C. will make up
their minds to compete, as there is nothing more distressing
at an athletic meeting, than to see only one or two men get
on the mark for an event for which there are probably a doz-
en entries.

Toe match race between Mclntyre of this city, and Wat-
son of Victoria, is an event of the past. The local athlete
Buffered defeat. The only chance Mclntyre now has of get-
ting even with the Victorian is to challenge him to run a
series of three races; a half mila, a mile and three miles.
Watson, of course, would again win the half mil1, but we
think Mclntyre is speedy enough to capture the two longer
events.

The athletes will be sorry to hear that the "old reliable"
grounds at 14th and Center Streets, Oakland, have been
demolished. Buildings are to be erected over the track on
which nearly all the Pacific Coast records were made.

The U. A. C. boys are holding down their cinder path (?).
The U. C. team has lately been strengthened by the addi-
tion of some good novices, and the Olympians will need to
struggle harder than they did on May 30th.

Champion 8. V. CasBidy is reducing his superfluous flesh
in the gymnasium of the O. A. C. Next week he will begin
to practice out-doors. If tbe new track turns out to be as
fast ae report says it will be, CasBidy may improve the 2:20
recoid.

The P. A. C. has a member that can clear nearly five and a
half feet in the running high jump.

There are four walkers in New York that can walk a mile
under seven minutes.

The P. A. C. will enter a "dark horse" for the shot-putting
and hammer events. From all accounts he is a good one.

Hamm, the G. G. A. C. sprinter, will not compete in any
games this year. Business matters will compel him to
remain in the country for some time to come, where he will
not have a chance to train.

THE WHEELMEN.

'Bah for Mathews. His recent record of 126 miles in a
day and a half is not to be sneezed at.

Last Saturday night, several of the San Francisco Bicycle
Club members took a moonlight ride out to the Cliff House,
through the park. The trip was an exceedingly pleasant
On the return home, S. B. Morse, one of the riders met

with a slight, but painful accident. The moon disappeared
behind a cloud for a moment, and Mr. Morse accidently ran
into the ditch which caused him to take one of those histori-
cal headeis. The resalt was a sprained wrist.

During the interval between race meets, tbe majority of
the Bay City's crackB indulge in "straw rides." Another of
those delightful night excursions will shortly take place, and
the usual contingent will doubtless attend.

At the request of several of the Grass Valley wheelmen,
the direotors of the Nevada State Fair have decided to add
one bicycle event to their programme. Neither the date nor
the distance has yet been fixed.

Two or three bicycle races will probably be added to the
opening day programme.

The track at the new O. A. C. grounds will be built in Buch
a manner that the wheelmen can ride over it at full speed
without the slightest danger of accident.

As most of the riders were away in the country, only a few
stragglers were seen in the Park on Sunday last.

Tbe 20th run of the San Francisco Bicycle Club on last
Saturday to Santa Cruz was a success. Five of the best men
in the club — H. A. Matthews, Len Owens, G. W. Laury, J.
C. Spencer, and F. J. H. Manning (Captain) — took the 2
o'clock boat, and, after crossing the bay, started on their si-
lent steeds for San Jose. This pretty little city was reached
about supper-time, and the jolly riders did full justice to that
meal. After resting an hour or so. they again mounted and
wended their way toward Los Gatos. This portion of the
journey was made by moonlight. Los Gatos was made by 9
o'clock, and the party decided to Btay there for the night.
The start for Santa Cruz was made early next morning, and
the city by the sea was reached in rime for lunch. After dis-
porting themselves in the surf for half an hour or so, the boys
were again ready to start for home. They took the last train
for San Francisco, and arrived here none the worse for their
long journey. This was the first run of the club to Santa
Cruz, and, judging from the success of the trip, the club will
give another run to that place very soon, when it is expected
that double the number of members will be on hand at the
start.

The irrepressible Fonda is again in tbe field. His leg, he
says, is just as strong as ever, and he is anxiously awaiting
the next meeting. We understand that the life insurance
companies of this city held a private meeting at which it was
decided that none of the companies will insure Fonda's life.

AT THE OARS.

Several of the Dolphin crews were seen at Tiburon on Sun-
day last. This is quite a pull from the city, but the boys
seem to think it only "mild exercise.

A race between two of the amateur crews of the Ariels wrl
shortly take place. One of tbe crews will be in charge ot
J. J. Larkey, while the other one will be looked after by T.
Farrell.

The proposed match race between members of the Califor-
nia Amateur Athletic Club and members of the Olympic Ath-
letic Club seems to have fallen through.

On Saturday last, at Chicago, the executive committee of
the national association of amateur oarsmen elected H. W.
Garfield, ol Albany, president; Lyman B. Clover, of Chicago,
vice-president; W. H. Gibson, of Washington, Secretary, and
H. K. Hincham, of Philadelphia, Treasurer.

IN THE SURF.

The warm weather is evidently fast approaching and lovers
of the surf will soon be in their glory.

Several bathers were unable to obtain suits at the Shelter
Cove baths last Sunday owing to the large number of people
that were there.

Both the Palace and Crystal baths were crowded during the
week. We were present at the latter place one evening re-
cently, and were surprised to see so many familiar faces
present.

At the Terrace baths last Sunday suits were at a premium.
In fact it wbb almoBt impossible to get a look at the Bwini-
mers so great was the crowd.

The police Bhould make some effort to Btop young men
and boys from swimming at the North Beach. The portion
of the beach where these immodest young men go in swim-
ming is between Powell and Taylor streets. Ladies who are
compelled to pass that way are constantly complaining about
the nuisance.

A well known athlete says that there is nothing more bene-
ficial to a man in training for any kind ot sport than cold salt
water bathing. He says swimming in salt water improves
the wind and hardens the muscles.

The old Mermaid baths at the foot of Larkin Street are
gone out of existence. When the Sutter Street Cable line
extend that far a new bath house will be erected on the old
site.

The warm weather at Santa Cruz is keeping the bath houses
pretty buBy. Mrs. John Leibrand if one of the best swim-
mers in the surf.

Misses Ada and Lula Wilson are among the swimmers
that go to the raft every afternoon.

The Missea Davis, of San FraDoisco are two of the beet di-
vers there at present, and every day they perform daring di-
ving feats from the Neptune raft.

The soldier toys make thing lively along the beach every
afternoon. There are several excellent swimmers among the
crowd.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The Philadelphia cricketers have just concluded their tour
through England. Ireland and Scotland. Their appearance
waB hailed with delight by the British but their good work
was received with surprise. Truly their excellent playing
is something that Americana snould be proud of. Cricket is
to Englishmen what base ball is to Americans, and it is
almost impossible to real ze that Eneland has been
her own champions and England will have to invet.
1 game if she desires to hold a championship.

Ayrshire.

The Dake of Portland seems fated to win all the big
races in England this year. On Jnly 19th, he won the
Great Eclipse Stakes of £10,000, for three *nd four-year-oldB,
about a mile and a quarter, at Sandown Park, with his home
bred bay colt Ayrshire, foaled 18S5, by Hampton, dam Ata- |
lanta by Galopio, her dam Feronia by Thormanby, out of i
"Woodbine by Stockwell, etc. Aryshire, up to and including
the Eclipse Stakes, has started in fifteen races, namely, sev-
en at two-year-old, of which he won five and was third in the
others. At three years old he started six times, won four
races, was third ouce, and unplaced once. At four years
old he started twice, winning both times.

Below will be seen the races won by Ayrshire and their
value:

Ayrshire's winnings, coupled with those of Donovan and
Semolina, without takiDg into consideration what his other
horses have won or may win, make the Dake of Portland the
largest winner ever known in one year, reaching probably
£50.000.— Live Stock Journal.

The Champion and Junior Champion.

The New "York Sporting World has the following about the
two great races: —

ChampioD Day his gone! Has it Betiled the all important
question, ''Who are the ohampions?" The majority will Bay
"No." The majority are perfectly right. Cayuga was de-
feated tor the Junior Champion Stakes because of the large
field, and Firenzi was defeated for the Champion, perhaps,
on her merits. That Los Angeles is a grand racing mare the
readers of Monday's Sporting World will have realized. Well
trained as Bhe was on Satorday to beat Earns, Sluggard and
Coiinemara she waa, if that were possible, in belter fettle yes-
terday when she met Firenzi and Eurus.

It wasn't a good start, neither was it a bad one, that
marked the getting away of the Junior Champions. But the
fact of twelve two-year olds being ranged at the quarter poEt
to get away for over $30,000 was sufficient to insure anxiety
in the minds of the starter and everybody that rode in the
race. Several breaks that looked like capital starts were put
to waste, and finally the flag was thrown with the lot in two
divisions, of which the first was composed of Protection,
Devotee, Leighton and Mr. "Withers' Eccola colt. Cayuga
got well away, bat in a close bunch, and Littletield pulled
him back, thinking the flag would not fall. Then with the
hope of going round his field he afterward began to work.
That such a hope was futile was fully shown by the running
of the race, Protection never relinquishing his lead, but
drawing out in the stretch and winning handily by three
lengths, while Chesapeake, the second of Belmont's string,
was not headed for the second place, and finished far in front
of Banquet, and the others behind.

There was another disappointment for the followers of
form in the Champion Stakes, although not as harrowing as
that of the two-year-old race. Los Angeles' grand appearance
had been commented upon on Saturday last. She has grown,
tilled out, and assumed all the proportions of a grand look-
ing mare. On that account sfie did not lack for backers.yes-
terday, although at all times Firenzi was a strong favorite,
the bookmakers asking 5 against their 3 every time, from
first to last. She seemed to be short of work, could not even
reach Eurus, who gave Los Angeles all the little work she
received. The California mare won easily, and Firenzi was
beaten off, although, of coarse, Hamilton eased her np in
stretch when he found further pursuit useless.

It was noticeable that after the defeat of Cayuga and
Firenzi yesterday many of the wine drinkers patronized the
pump which adjoins the betting place.

Not one person in a thousand who attended the Mon-
mouth races yesterday believe that the best horse won the
Junior Champion Stakes.

Director and Stockholders of a Fair Associa-
tion Engaged in a Lawsuit.

A suit has been filed in the District court which has eau se-
ed considerable talk in Helena. The parties to the suit are
the stockholders of the Fair Association outside of the Direc-
tory, and. the Board of Directors. It appears that the Board
of Directors recently purchased what stock remained'in the
treasury and appropriated the lot amounting, to 694 shares,
among themselves at the par value, §25 per share. The
gentlemen outside of the directory object to this.and now ap-
peal to the courts to ascertain by what privilege they were
ignored in the disposition of the stock.

Secretary Pope stated that the transaction was conducted
legally, open and above board, and produces the minuteB of
the trustee's meetings to account for the transaction. He
states that it waB decided at a meeting to make extensive im-
provements at the grounds and also to purchase five acres of
ground lying on the east side of the fair grounds, and as this
would involve a large outlay of money, steps were taken to
to secure the necessary funds. The treasurer was according-
instructed by orders of the president, secretary and board of
trustees to ascertain if anv stock was left in the treasury, and
if so to find purchasers for it. At a subsequent meeting the
treasurer reported and stated that 640 shares remained which
he sold and secured $17,350 in cash which is now in the
treasury.

On the other hand the outside stockholders claim that
owing to the fact that a surplus remained in the treasury
such a movement was uncalled fer. And besides the associa-
tion had conducted its business for the past nineteen years
on 306 shares of capital stock paid in, and at this time the
stock is worth at least $120 share, whereas it was let go for
$25 per share.

The cade will prove of much interest, as leading citi-
zens of Helena are engaged in the legal controversy, and the
ablest talent will be employed on both Bides.

The gentleman engaged in the suit are Daniel A. G
Flowerree, Shirley C. Ashby, Chas. H. Dahler, Robt.S. Hale,
Chas. Leham, Conrad Koers, W. N. Baldwin, Chas. A.
Broadwater, C. Wallace Taylor, Henry Klien and Herman
Gans Plaintiffs, and L. H. Aersfield, Anslem J. Davidson,
Thomas C. Power, Francis Pope, Wm. A. ChesBman, Ben-
jamin H. Tantem, Wm. B. Hundley, Wm. Muth, Chas. D.
Hard and Aaron Hersfield, defendants.

In the complaint appears the allegatation that the capital
stock of the concern is divided into 1,000 shares of the value
of S25 eaoh. That the plaintiffs own of said stock as follows:
Flowerrre 11 share; Asbby, 13; Dahler, 8; Hale, I; Lehman,
4; Tylor. 2; Baldwin 6; Broadwater, 6; Bans & Klien 4. That
at the time of the incorporation of the company 306 shares of
the stock were issued to suscribers therefore and no other
stock was Issued until Febrnary, 1889, when the remaining
694 shares were isBued in the following manner at the face
value of $25 per share: A.J. Davidson, 61 shares; T. O,
Power 06; Francis Pope, 93 "W. A. Chessman, 71; B. H. Tan-
tem, 64; Wm. C. Hundley, 62; Wm. Moth. 61; C D. Hard,
61; Hersfield Bros , 125. That the value of all said stock is
now $120,000 as represented by real and persooal property
now owned by the association; that it has always been of
greater value thnn per value and ie now worth at least $120
per share.

It further alleges that on February 9, 1889. the said defen-
dants, who are also directors of the company, resolved by
unanimous vote to issue said stock and Bell the same at its
face value, giving as reasons therefor the contemplated im-
provements on a great scale of the fair grounds, whereupon
the stork was eold to themselves in the manner above stated.
That the money realised from the sale of sach stock, viz:

$17,350, was, instead of being applied to the contemplated
improvements, loaned to the Merchants National Bank of
Helena for six monthB at 6 per cent, per annum. That such
a sale was unauthorized and not within the power of such
directors to make; that it waB made without any authority
from or consultation with the plaintiff stock holders, and
secrelly and privately, without any notification to the public
and without any effort to obtain the best price therefor and
for the individual profit and advantage of the said directors,
and without regard to the interests of the association or
other stockholders; that such a sale was a fraud upon such
association and a violation of the duties of Baid defendants
as directors; all of which information has just come to the
knowledge of these plaintiffs.— [The Horse.]

Three of a Kind.

Proctor Knott and Come to law disenss tliflr Ecc»iilrlc

Owner.

Horses are intelligent animals, especially thoroughbreds,
and it's a pity they can't talk. They almost can, and it is
sometimes easy to imagine what they would sBy had they the
power of speech. The following conversation, imagined by a
writer in the LouiBville Truth, is very realistic: Proctor
Knott left for Chicago yesterday. Proctor was evidently in a
disagreeable' form of mind as he strolled through- the
streets on his way to the Monon depot. He was sulky, in
short, sullen and morose.

"It's a d— d shame," he said fretfully to Mr. Bryant, "to
take a horse to Chicago in my coudition."

"Shut up, you wenced-eyed devil," replied Mr. Bryant,
pleasantly. "D'ye want to stand up in the stable oat yon-
der all summer and eat your head off?"

"You be d— d," returned Proctor. "I won enough money
for you last year to pay my board for a lifetime. In the
n<*meof God how much do you expect of a horse, Sam?" and
Proctor looked at Mr. Bryant with an injured air, and came
to a dead stop in the street.

"Come on, now," cried Sam; "come on, yon fool. Don't
be stoppin' here and havin' everybody gittin' onto you and
being ashamed of you. Don't be mortifyin' Come to Taw."
"I'd like to know what Come to Taw is* to mortfy," mur-
mured Proctor, bitterly. "I never heard of anybody sus-
pecting him of being anything but an old slim-necked crab."
"That's a nice way to be talkin' about your stable compan-
ion," cried Mr. Bryant reproachfully.

(,I don't care a d — n," interrupted Come to Taw, airly.
"I notice I beat him down at Nashville.whether I'm a crab or
not."

"Beat me with that little fool jockey pulling my d— d
head of," ejaculated Proctor, hotly. "That's the way you
beat me."

"Why don't you hosses quit cussin'?" asked Mr. Bryant
reprovingly.

"Who taught us how to cuss?" retorted Proctor, viciously.
"Yes, who taught us how?" added Come to Taw. "You
are a d — d nice Sunday-school teacher to be talkin' to any-
body about cussin'."

"We never woi^ld have known anything about cussin' if it
hadn't been for you," supplemented the noble chestnut, bit-
terly. "You cuss all the time."

"Come on here now," cried Mr. Bryant peevishly. "I
won't stand no more nonsense from you hosseB. If you
don't come I'll take a club to you, "and Mr. Bryant looked so
vicious that his noble pair of thoroughbreds quailed for the
moment and followed him sulkily in Third street. When
they reached Market, however, Proctor Knott twitched his
tail nervously and came to another dead spot.

"Wha's the matter now, you Borrel pup?" asked Mr. Bry-
ant nervously.

"I'm not going past that d — d tnrf exchange," answered
Proctor Btubbornly. I'll be d — d if I am."

"Didn't I tell you to quit cussin'?" roared LMr. Bryant
threateningly.

"Well cussin' or no cuBsin', I'm not going past that turf
exchange," replied the noble Derby loser thinly. "If yon
want to take me to Chicago you can take me down Market
street."

"What's the matter with the turf exchange?" cried Mr.
Bryant. "You ain't too high-toned to go by there are yon?"
"No," replied Proctor sadly. "I'm not high-toned. I was
high-toned once, but I've got over that Bince I've been mix-
ing around with yon and Come to Taw. The fact is I don't
want to go by the tuif exchange, because I don't want to
have my feelings hurt by that crowd of meaBly two-dollar
bettors. Look at 'em sticking around there like a pack of
blue-bottle flies. When one of them fellers bets thirty cants
on a horse he thinkB he owns hiin. They are waiting for me
to come by now, so they can sneer at me and call me a crab.
There's that old Eli Marks. He bet $2 on me in the Clark
StakeB and he hasn't quit kicking yet."

"Te-he," tittered Come to Taw, "what a sensitive plant he
is, to be sure."

"Yon are used to being called a crab," retorted Proctor hotly.
"I'm not, and I don't like it."

"And I'll be d— d if you shall be either, " cried Mr. Bryant
beginning to grow tender. "They shan't do it. If I hear
anybody callin' you a crab I'll cut his d— d throat. Come on
let's go down Market street and let the old turf exchange eo
to the devil." B B

"That's the way 1 like to hear you talk, Sam," cried Proc-
tor gratefully. "You're a d — d nice fellow sometimes."

"Please quit cussin'," murmured Mr. Bryant. I don't like
to hear bosses cusBin'."

"Rats!" titered Come to Taw, rakishly.
•TU rat you, you d— d hay thief, if you stick vour chin in
any more," cried Sam fiercely.

"If you do-I won't set the pace for Proctor Knott in the
American Derby," retorted Come to Taw, flippantly, where-
upon Mr. Bryant subsided and marched modestly on down
to the depot with his equine darlings -on either side of him.
Here they entered a very decent sort of horse-car and Sam
promptly started to take off his ooat.

"For heaven's sake," cried Proctor, "you are not going to
Bleep in here with ub, are yon?"

"Can't you leave ub to ourselves for the" rest of the
night?" supplemented Come to Taw, peevishly.

"In the name of heaven give us a lest for just a night,"
continued Proctor, almost prayerfully. "You makemeawful
tired monkeying around forever."

"Somebody might p'ison ye if I left yon,'
Bryant, wisely.

"Cotne off," cried Proctor. Who wants to p'ison us?"

"Anybody, yon d— d fool," murmured Mr. Bryant.

"Why don't you quit cussin' Sam?" interrupted Come to
Taw, "If you dou't I'll go lame and get somebody to buy
me for a street-car mule."

"That's yer proper callin' anyway," retorted Mr. Bryant,
warmly. "You ain't no racehorse. Yon ain't hardly worth
oats."

"Sam," interupted Proctor Knott in a low, slow voioe,
"what will be the betting against me in that d— d Chioago
Derby?"

" 'Bout 6 to 1," replied Mr. Bryant.

"lhen I'll tell you whatl'll do, Sam," continued Proctor.
"If you won't sleep with me in this car to-night I'll win
that race or break my neck. I'll swear I will. I'll do any-
thing just to keep you out of my stall for one night."

"We are getting awfully tired of being watohed like a pair
of d—d pussy oats," added Come to Taw, bitterly. "The
way you act people would think you never owned a racehorse
before."

"Please go up and sleep in the buggage car, Sam," pleaded
Proctor Knott, prayerfully. "Let us go to Chicago in peaoe
just thiB once, for the Lord's sake."

"I'll be d—d if I don't do it," said Mr. Bryant; and if any-
body p'ison you, recolleot it ain't no fault of mine."

"Thank heaven," murmured Proctor Knott, gratefully.

"When he gets out we'll sleep against the door, "whispered
Come to Taw, sagely. "He might want to come in again be-
fore we get to Chicago."

In the meantime Mr. Bryant had reached the baggage car.

"Them's the d — dest horses I ever seed," he remarked to
the baggage master, and away they went to Chicago.

The Napa Fair.

The first day of the Napa Meeting was a grand success, the
crowd large and enthusiastic, the weather perfect and the
racing of the best. The directors devoted the initial day, to
the bang tail division and three events were on the card. The
first race oalled out Susie S., Mikado and Nabeau, the dis-
tance being three-quarters of a mile and repeat, the entrance
$25 with $10 forfeit, the association adding $200. Susie
8. was a strong favorite, the betting fraternity feeling that
the performance of the mare at lone, stamped her as being a
sure winner. But there is many a slip in horse racing and
it is that great uncertainty which adds so much zest to the
sport. The three got off well together for the first heat, but
at the turn Mikado had taken a lead which he maintained to
the wire, his two competitors being unable to reach him.
Time, 1:15}.

The second heat was a trifle more interesting as there
was a duel between Mikado and Susie S. for the heat, Na-
beau evidently being outclassed in the fast oompany. The
pair ran as a double team from start to finish, arid it was
only in the last few strides that Mikado managed to snatch
the victory from the mare. Time, 1:15}.

SUMMARY.

The second race of the day was a mile and repeat, there
being originally four entries, but H. Reaves' Isabella and
Kelly & Samuel's Welcome were scratched, leaving W. L.
Appleby's Wild OatB and Wm. Boots' Nerva to contest for the
money. Nerva won the first heat handily, bnt VVild Oats was
too much for the ohestnut mare, and he managed to secure
the next two without any trouble. The following is the

The third and last race of the day was a mile and a half
daBh, the starters being Kelly & Samuel's Ed. MeGinnis, and
Montgomery & Rea's Alfarata. MeGinnis had the majority
of backing, he selling for $25 to $6 on the brown horse. The
raoe was wholly uninteresting, as the favorite took the lead
and was never headed, he winning as he liked in 2:41.

It was a highly successful day in every respect, the trot-
ting being exceptionally good. The programme was rather
too big for the day though, and although heats were sand-
wiched, the 2:40 class had to be postponed after four heats,
it being half past seven when the fourth was trotted. The
first race was the 2:30 class, with six starters. Ringwood
trotted a good beat in the first, and had it not been for the
accident had a great chance for the race. Atto Rex proved
the winner, being a much better stayer than Express, who
was very fist. Hazel Kirke, who has only been in work
about six weeks, having been bred to Albert, trotted a hard
game race. The district yearling brought out three young-
sters, all of whom were rather green, Starlight eventually
winning.

In the 2:20 clais Palo Alto won in straight heats, loweing
his record to 2 :18 in the third, with no one near him.

The 2:40 class had four heats, all inside 2:30. Goldsmith
drove Nona Y! after the first heat, but could only get second
place in each heat. In the second Lookout and Leila were dis-
tanced, but the judges thinking the horse was uot driven to
win, started him in the next with Marvin behind him . The im-
provement was manifest, for in the fourth heat he won as he
liked. He is said to be by Arab. Mr. Ariel Lathrop was
present to see Palo Alto trot. Among other notables were
Messrs. Tom Williams, G. Valensin, M. Salisbury, M. M.
Estee, A. L. Whitney, J. M. La Rue, etc.

After scoring several times Atto Bex had the worst of the
start, and with Ringwood breaking before the first turn,
Balkan and J. R. cut out the pace. At the quarter they
were level two lengths in front of Hazel Kirke, with Express
two lengths further back, and Ringwood some distance
behind him, with Atto Rex five lengths in the rear. They all

closed up a little on the backstretch, Balkan leading by a
neck, and at the half by a length. Ringwood came very fast
round the tnrn, and at the head of the homestretch they
were all close on Balkan. Ringwood looked all over a win-
ner at the drawgate, when Dustin brought J. R. up with a
rattle, beating him out a neok, Balkan three lengths
back, third, Atto Rex a bad last allthr?ngh. Time, 0:37, 1:13,

Mntuals on the heat paid $21.70.

Seoond Heat— Auction pools: Balkan $20, Express $10.
Ringwood $7, field $20.

Ringwood, after scoring up, turned short round, breaking
the sulky wheel and running away with a one-wheeled sulky
round the track; luckily he was stopped after the circuit
without any injury, and was hitched up to a fresh Bulky.

After sooring sixteen times they went off with J. R. in
front and Ringwood breaking last. At the quarter J. R. was
leading Balkan a length, and Hazel Kirke lapped on Balkan's
wheel, Express two lengths back, fourth. Express passed
the field in a clatter, leading J. K. a length at the half. Hazel
Kirke and Balkan a length each behind. Marvin kept his
lead into the straight when he left his feet, and Hazel Kirke
went to the front, and though Express came very fast in the
last hundred yards, Hazel won by a neck, J. R. three lengths
behind Express and a length in front of Balkan, Ringwood
just inside the flag. Time, 0:36, 1:121, 1:49 2-24J

Mntuals paid $19 30.

Third Heat— Ringwood was drawn. Goldsmith drove
Balkan.

Auotion pools: ExpresB $30, Balkan $9, field $50.

Hazel Kirke had a little the best of the start, and soon
strung out the field at the quarter, being two lengths in front
of Express, who was three ahead of J. R. and Balkan, with
Atto Rex two lengths further back, Balkan broke badly and
dropped haok. At the half Hazel Kirke was three lengthB in
front of Express, same distance between Atto Rex, J. R. and
Balkan in the order named. All closed up a little round the
turn, Hazel Kirke and Express being about a length apart at
the head of the stretoh, and Rex two lengths back. Rex
closed up on the leaders, but breaking at the distance came
too late, being beaten three quarters of a length by Hazel
Kirke, who was half a length behind the winner Express.
Time, 0:35, 1:124, 1:49, 2:23.

Mutuals paid $8.70.

Fourth Heat— Auction pools: Express $25, Balkan $1
field $25.

Dustin, with J. R., had slightly the best of the send off,
bnt was soon passed, Hazel Kirke and Rex who passed the
quarter with a length and two lengths between them, Hazel
Kirke broke very badly, and dropped back, Rex going past
the half three lengths to the good, Express two in front of
Hazel, who was just clear of J. R. They went round the
tnrn in the same order, but both the leaders left their feet at
the head of the stretch, and Rex catching quickest won han-
dily by two lengths, Express second, Hazel Kirke close up
third, and Balkan, who showed a phenomenal burst of speed,
from the lead of the stretch to the distance pole, where he
broke badly, a good fourth. Time, 0:35}, 1:124 0:481 2-254

Mutuals paid $8.90.

Fifth Heat— Auction pools, Express $10, whole field $30.
They got off at the third attempt, Rex breaking almost at
once and Marvin going ont, led Hazel two lengths at the
quarter, Rex a length and a half baok, and J. R. same dis-
tance behind him. Express broke on the backstretch, and at
the half was third, Rex leading Hazel by a length, same second
and third. Rex increased his -lead to three lengths when
the six furlong pole was reached, with Hazel second, two
lengths in front of Express who broke badly coming down
the stretch, leaving Hazel Kirke to tight it out with Rex who
beat her out half a length after a good struggle, J. R. third
three lengths behind the leaders with Express only a neck
behind.

Mutuals paid, $6.85. Time, ;37, 1:11|, 1:49}, 2:25}.

Sixth Heat— Balkan went to the stable after last heat

Auotion Pools— Atto Rex $120, Whole Field $30.

Rex had a shade the best of the start and at once opened a
gap, being two clear lengths in front of Hazel at the quarter,
J. R. five in advance of Express who brokebadly at the turn.
Hazel gradually drew up to Rex catching him jast after the
half mile pole and then dropping back round the turn two
lengths behind at the three-quarter pole, Express five lengths
back. Hazal followed Rex home, beaten a length after a
desperate finish, Express third, two lengths further in . the
rear, and J. R. well inside the distance.

THE 2:40 TROT,

First heat— Flora Belie $25; Nona Y. $23; Held $19.

leading Lookout three lengths at the quarter. Lookout now
settled down to business, and, trotting fast, had his nose in

At the fourth attempt the bell was tapped. Nona and
Flora both left thejr feet before the turn, but Nona, catching
handily, was two lengths in front at the quarter, Flora sec-
ond, rive in front of Lookout. Flora trotted in surprising
form, passing Nona and having a two-lenglhB lead at the half,
and Nona, breaking and losing ground, was seven behind her
at the head of the Btretch, but, splendidly handled, closed up
again, and despite a skip at the drawgate, wsb only beaten u
head by Flora, who trotted out very gamely. Belle A. wao a
bad third, and Lookout and Leila were outside the flag, but

Third Heat— Auction pools: Flora Belle $20, Nona $10
field $10.

After a good deal of scoring they were despatched. Look-
out broke badly before the turn was reached, and dropped
back last, Nona making the pace. At the quarter she was
three lengths in front of Flora B., who was same in front of
Belle. Flora again made her effort in the second quarter,
and passingNona, notwithstanding a break, was three lengths
to the good at the half. Lookout passed Belle B., and was ten
lengths behind the leaderB at the head of the stretch, where
Nona left her feet, but catching quickly was up to the leader
at the distance when she again broke and ran in, Flora Belle
getting the heat, Nona second. Lookout twenty lengths back,
third, and Belle just inBide. Time, 0:35}, 1:14, 1:50, 2:26.

Fourth Heat — No dooIs sold, as everyone had left, it being
then 7:30. ' B

From what could be seen of the race, Nona Y. broke at the
start, and Lookout and Flora went ont neck and neck round
the turn. Flora broke at the three-eighth pole, and Lookout
went on, and with Flora breaking going round the turn, the
gelding won as he pleased by four lengths, Nona Y. second,
Flora Belle a good third and Belle A. just inside. Time,
2:28.

The race was then postponed until Wednesday at 12 p. m.
Wednesday.

Judges— H. M. La Rue; F. Loeber and John McCord.

Timers— F. Coombs, A. K. Mayhew and H. J. Agnew.

The unfinished trot of Tuesday was finished et once, only
one heat being required, Flora Belle winning easily. ' The
two-year-old race with two starters proved an easy thing for
Palo Alto's Del Mar who trotted the second heat in 2:30, giv-
ing Electioneer one more in the thirty list. The 2:2s' pac-
ing was a hard race all through. Creole proved his gameness
and stamina, for he was driven cut for every heat being sec-
ond in the third and fourth heats and winning the other
three, the second in 2:20. A good mare for the game
little son of Prompter, although entered in Mr.
Salisbury's name, he is still the property of the well
known Sacramento breeder, Mr. Snyder. The Direct- Vic-
tor race was generally conceded a sure thing for Direct but
after a severe talking to by the judges, Doherty behind Vic-
tor forced him ont in 2:19$ in the second heat, and 2:21} in
the third. Mr. Valensin's Fleet, two years old by Sidney,
dam Flight, was driven to beat her record and in the second
heat trotted in grand style without a break in 2:24. Buster
received $50 for his able handling of the peerless black. The
trotting diBtriot three-year-old was postponed until Thursday.

Mr. A. C. Dietz had a continuation of hifl bad luck his
four-year-old pacer Longworth being so sick after the' first
heat that the judges allowed him to be withdrawn.

The 2:40 trot was finished in one heat. They were sent
off in short order and Nona Y. breaking before the turn,
Lookout cut out the pace being five lengths in front of Flora
Belle, and Nona Y. at the quarter. And Nona again breaking
dropped back five lengths behind Flora, who trotted fast be-
ing head and head with Lookout half way round the upper
turn, when Lookout broke badly leaving Flora to win as Bhe
liked by ten lengths, Lookout beating Nona a length for
second place, with Belle a bad last. Time -35 1-12 1-491

First heat. — Auction pools, a dollar to twenty-five was the
best offer.

At the first time of asking they were tapped of. Direct,
having the pole, drew out, and with McDowell watching
Victor, they trotted the whole circuit within about two lengths
of one another, Direct winning by half a length. Time, 2:29£.

Second heat. Doherty, who had been Galled ioto the
stand and warned to drive his horse out, went off at once,
and despite his hitching and skiving all round the turn, was
only two lengths behind at the quarter, which he had slight-
ly decreased at the half in 1:09|, and sticking right at Mc-
Dowell's wheel, drove bim out at tup speed to the drawgate.
Victor broke, but cutehing cleverly, gained by it if anything,
being only beaten a head in 2:19^.

Third heat.— One pool was sold, $20 to $6.

They again went off without muoh scoring, and Victor,
who was skiving all round the turn, but never losing, was at
Direct's heels at the quarter, and level with him at the half,
in 1:11. Direct, going right out, was only three-quarters of
a length in front at the head of the stretch, and both horses
were driven hard down the straight. Victor, agaia making a
good break at the drawgate, was only beaten a length and a
half. Time, 2:21£.

American Trotters in France.

American trotters are still winning in France, according to
the following froni the Paris correspondent of the Spirit of
the Times. The Prix de St. Maude, international, to har-
ness, 2,000 francs, for stallions, mares and geldings of all
countries, 4 years and over, to a two or four wheel vehicle;
former winners of an international prize of 2,000 francs to
carry 10 kilos, under the saddle cloth; distance, 6,000 me-
ters (3 miles and a furlong).

Four competitors were entered, two by our indefatigable
Mr. A. E. Terry, Milton and Misty Morning; one by Maria-
hall stables, the gelding Watt, and the fourth of no account,
by a driver of the same worth. Wei!, Misty was scratched, so
that Milton and Watt were the only serious competitors.
"Watt; driveu by Meechen, takes the lead, followed by Milton,
in Dickerman's masterly hands.

The third, Conquerant, is shut out at once. At the hill
Milton leads, aud half a mile further Watt indulges in a
break down the hill, for he is a very sore horse, jnst as Cap-
tain George was in the saddle race. Meechen settles bim
and goes for Milton, about ten yards separating tbem. On

creased bin lead, and is nobly trotting along in spile of his 22

Dickerman \b there, settles him, and sends him along.

At the last turn on the bomestretoh he tries another break,
but has hardly time to know it when he settles again. Watt
goes for him and breaks badly; in fact, he was unsteady the
whole of the race, and gave young Meechen lots of trouble to
keep him straight. But next year we may look for better

Quarter Horses of Thirty Years Ago.

I have read many interesting reminiscences of old time
traveling sports who went through the country with fast
quarter and three-eighth horses, and I have seen several of
these races. Here dwells an old-time sport, "Don Miguel1
he is called, who tells of many races that he witnessed here
and in Los Angeles, as both centers were famous for the fine
Arabian horses that roamed over the fertile hills and canyons.
1 have heard ao often of two great races that were run here,
that the other day I started out for information, and the first
man I met who could tell me of an interesting race was Ed-
ward Arrellanes, son of John Arrellanes, who owned the
horse that ran in these races in 1861.

Don Miguel gave me the following account: "It was in the
month of June. I was at Dos Pueblos" (a large ranch owned
by the late Nicholas A. Den, on whioh grazed four or five
thousand heed of cattle). "We had been," he proceeded,
having a great cattle gathering or rodeo, and there were
fifty of us vaqueroa on the ranch. I tell you we had horses
that understood their business. We could lasBo the wildest
steer of the band and get off our horse, leaving the riata
firmly tied around the pommel of the saddle, which
would hold the steer while he made fierce plunges at the
horse, but the well-trained hor3e easily avoided him. I
remember distinctly once that Don Pedro Ortega made a
wfger with your father that he could take a wild two-year-old
hqifer and hold her firmly to the ground without a lasso of
any kind. We selected a heifer, posted her out, and shs
started at full speed towards the hills. Don Pedro started
after her on his well-trained horse and soon over-took her,
caught her by the tail, and sent her rolling, and ere she
stopped rolling Don Pedro was on foot and caught the tail of
the heifer, and placing it between her legs, held her on her
back till your father was satisfied that Don Pedro had won
the wager."

"But tell me of the race you were going to relate," I said,
and he continned: ""Well, we were at the old Dos Pueblo's
ranch house. We had finished our work and were running
races in front of the honse. The sun was about an hour
high when two emigrant wagons arrived, as we called thorn,
and the strangers camped under some immense sycamore
trees by a beautiful stream of never-failing water. I went to
their camp. I was riding a horse I called Aceituna. I
thought that no horse had a license to beat him three hundred
yards. At the stream was one of the strangers watering a
little black mare. We exchanged salutations, and he invited
me to his camp. We talked horse until I proposed to have a
race. They were loath to make a match, but I finally per-
suaded them to run their black mare against my invincible.
I put up all the money I had, fifty dollars, and my compan-
ions bet what money they had with them. I thought we had
a walk-over, for the "little mare looked as though she had tried
to drink the Btream dry. We measured the distance, three
hundred yards. A man who must have weighed one hun-
dred and fifty pounds, mounted the little mare, and in leBs
time than it takes me to tell it, the race was run, and
we were badly beaten. The little mare ran right away from
our last quarter horse. By the gods I was paralyzed! I
thought our horse must be sick, and that he would surely
die."

I was determined to get the best of these sharp Yankees,
so in the evening I saddled Aceitnna and rode into Santa
Barbara, a distance of eighteen miles, in an hoar and a half.
I went straight to the barn of the wealthy aristocrat, Senor
Arrellanes, and I posted him on these emmigrants, and ad-
vised him to match his renowned Piojo against any hor-e they
brought, distance one thousand yards. The nest day the
strangers arrived and camped near what is now called Burton's
Mound. I called upon them and they began to talk horse im-
mediately. I opened fire upon them, and they treated from
behind their barracks, taking it all in, and were unwilling to
match my horse. Finally one of them said that they had a
horse that could run two or three hundred yards fast, but
that he was too lame to run. I waB shown the horse. He
was a tall, long-legged black gelding that walked lame. I
noticed the man who led him kept one of his hands on hia
blistered shoulder. The stranger remarked that if his horse
got over his lameness they might make a race. I worked
hard to get them to make a match, but they consulted, de-
mured, procrastinated, and only left hopes of a race.

I was going away disgusted, when one of them spoke up,
■and said he would like to see my horse, and that if we gave
them time he might run us a race. "I might go you once
for a flyer," he remarked, "if our horse gets any better." I
made an appointment for the nest day. Early in the morn-
i g Arrellanes and I went to their camp. I rode Piojo. He
was very fleshy and looked as though it would take months
to reduce him to a proper condition. The strangerB looked
him over attentively. Senor Arrellanes remarked to me aside
that the stranger's horse was too lean and surely no good.
"He is too clumsy to run," he said. We told the Yankees
we would give them three weeks if they would make the
race for fifteen hundred dollars a side, half down and the
rest the day b9fore the race. They at la«t consented, and we
made the match. We went home jubilant. I waB telling
Piojo all the way home what a walk-over he would have and.
how I would have an opportunity so soon to get back full
pay for what I had lost. Our horse was very fat, but he
worked well in his training. I was with the horse all the
time. I Blept with bim forlfeared lest these strangers should
attempt to poison him.

The day before the raoe was to take place, the strangers came
to us and offered us five hundred dollars to postpone the race
for another month. We of course refused. In the afternoon
the money was all put up and the conditions accepted by
both sides. The next afternoon we went to the grounds.
One thousand yards had been measured where the principle
residences are now built. Every body was there, on horse
back or on foot, for at that time there was only three carria-
ges in the county, and remember that Ventura county was
then included in Santa Barbara county. We felt confident
that we had the rAce won, barring aooidents. I avowed to
myself, I shall now have a pound of flesh from off your
bosom, nearest your heart. The coarse was measured; each
one selected a inecalori (jadge), and they stood at the end of
the course where wan stretched a long hair rope. The horse
that got his front feet on the rope first was awarded the race.
The starter went to give them the word go, which was in-
variably Santiago. The stranger who rode the lame, black
gelding took off his pantaloons, and with drawsers that looked
as though they had not been washed for mouths, he mounted
his racer. The horses made several attempts to get off, and
wb-n they did start the lame one had the best of it, but our
horse caught up with him and they came down at a terrific
rite of speed, and both horses came in at once. Everybody
yelled "draw," "draw," "dead heat!" The black horse
pulled up very lame. The atrnngers wanted one more week.
We had a long consultation. We felt so confident, that with-

out any hesitancy we profered to ran the race out again in
two weeks if they would doable the bet", which they consented
to do after a powerful demur was argued. We argued that
our horse was still carrying too much flesh, aud that in two
weeks he could win the race easily, as he had started two
lengths behind and still overtook his opponent, while their
horse was too lame to be trained.

The two weeks soon passed and the day for the second
great event came. Everybody within sisty miles of our city
came to witness the race, and nine-tenths of them came
to put up their fifty dollar gold pieces on our horse, and
those who had no money bet theirjhoraes and saddles. I had
borrowed all the money I could get on my credit. The Seno-
ritas were out to witness the great race dressed in their rich
silk dresses and their shoulders crowned with antique re-
boses; rare lace mantillas covering their heads. The wealthy
Dela Guerra's were mounted on handsome steeds, saddled
since morning, a custom then in fashion, and many Senori-
tas were on horseback. The escitement at the racecourse
increased as the hour of starting neared. The horses are
called, and they are led up all covered, and when they are
stripped, the eyes of all fall upon the black gelding, with the
blistered shoulder, that is nervous and prancing around,
showing no signs of lameness. The same man who had rid-
den bim in the first race, took off the same pantaloons, and
had on the same pair of drawers. I don't believe that they
were washable. At any rate he rode with them on. He had
no saddle nor a ropearound the horse's waist as they then
used to ride in a race. The word is given and all held their
breath. O, my! how that horse ran! Why he ran right
away from our horse and was not stopped till he got into
camp. Talk about vour Cyclones sweeping every thing be-
fore them and of your Johnstown floods swallowing up all the
country; why, these four strangers with their large overbur-
dened wagons and large clumsy horses swept every thi ug before
them. We all went broke. Since that day I havesteered clear
of emigrant wagons and strangers who are loth to make a race
with a horse that can fain lameness. Since that day I be-
came a trainer of game cocks. Why, once I took to Los An-
geles fifteen game cocks and ten straight matches, and I made
the famous sport, and the wealthiest Spaniard of Southern
California say that he had enough. If you want to hear of
the famous race between the Dela Guerras, of Santa Bar-
bara and the Machados and Sepulvedos of Los Angeles, ask
O. M. Covarrnbias, who was then the greatest jockey of Cali-
ifornia. The white horse of the Dela Guerras was tampered
with the day of the race, and the Santa Barbara Bports were
the victims of treachery.

Even in those days trainers and jockeys sold themselves.
You see that bay horse hitched in that Chinaman's delivery
wagon? He beat the famous Belfast in a six hundred yard
race. Belfast was owned by M. A. Covarrubias and his
brother O. M. The Italians bet every cent they could get.
They mortgaged their houses to bet on the race. All this
was known before the race, and it was rumored that
Belfast's jockey was secured. But Nick had such confidence
in the rider — he was Nick's cousiu — that he heeded not, aud
the day of the race he was confident of success. Well, you
have heard of the shameful result. Belfast was beaten
disgracefully. In 1S59 there was a race betwe n a horse
called Orquilla, owued by Nicho'as A. Den and a horse
called Alasanito for one thousand apples. The Dos Pueblos
orchard had begun to bear fruit, still apples were sold at
the rate of ten cents apiece. Mr. Den lost the race, but as
he had the only orchard bearing apples he paid the wager
with little loss. Quarter horses of forty years ago could
run a quarter in twenty^two seconds and a thousand yards
in fifty one seconds. You are incredulous, but I tell you
that the horses of those days were faster than the horses of
to-day. You know well that we would saddle a horse at
sunrise and ride one hundred miles that day, and when we
got there we dismounted, "cinched" the horse well, and led
him around for fifteen or twenty minutes, then unsaddled
and turned him out in the hills, and the nest day the horse
was readv to return. I tell you that horses thirty years
ago could stand more than those of to-day.

The track here is livelier every day. Gus Walters received
two new horses, one tine shaped trotter from Los Alamos
called Herperion, owned by Underbill of New York City,
aod a beautiful bay gelding called Diamond, owued by
Hiram Pierce of this city. Diamond is a well-bred, tine-
gaited gelding that I saw trot a quarter in forty-five sec-
onds, drawing a heavy Concord buggy with two in.

August 5, 1889. T. M.

The grand Pris de Paris was, of course, the big event at
Paris last Sunday. The attendance was possibly bigger than
any ever seen on that ground at any previous race meeting;
and the result without donbt, the biggest surprise ever exper-
ienced in connection with this event. The winner turned up
in VaBiBtas, who was scarcely mentioned tn the betting and
who started friendless at 100 to 1.

THE KENNEL.

Dog owners are requested to send for publfcation tbe earliest possi-
ble notices of whelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths
In their kennels, in all instances writing plainly names of Bire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

Mr. J. B. Martin, at 1157 Folsom St., San Francisco, offers
for sale, through the advertising columns, some splendidly
bred, evenly marked fox terriers, at a most moderate price.
The stock is well known to him and he assured us they will
make game dog and good ratters.

Mr. Frank L. Wilson, who superintends the foxhound
kennel, owned by Mr. D. M. Murphy, near Gilroy, writes
this week of the whelping of a litter crossed between one of
the fine pure foxhounds of the kennel, and the blood hound
bitch recently brought from England. The cross will be
noted with interest and we shall be very pleased to learn from
Mr. WilBon about the type of the puppies and their quality.

Whelps.

Mr. D. M. Murphy's (Coyote Kennels, Gilroy) imp. blood-
hound bitch Venus, whelped Aug. 2, 1SS9, eight, five bitche3,
to owners English foxhound Roderick {by Landlord — ).

Elcho Kennel's (A. B. Traman, San Francisco,) Irish red
setter champion Lady Elcho T. (Elcho — Noreen), whelped
July 31, 18S9, nine, three dogs, to owner's champion Mike
T. (Nemo— Nida).

Mr. G. W. Bassford's (Suisun) pointer Blossom (Glen R —
Josie Bow) whelped, August 8, 1889, fifteen, eight dogs, by
Scout Croxttth (Croxteth— Frank) five white and liver, ten
white and lemon.

G-rim's Gossip.

The trotting mare Polly, that is creatiog such n sensation
in Europe, was bred by Jay L«dne, of Luverne, Minn.

The Dwyers lost a big pot of money on the champion.
They back Firenzi very heavily thinking it was sure money.

The Dwyer Bros., are always on the lookotit for good
things. They have offered $7,500 for the yonng horse Re-
clara.

Mayor L. U. Shippee of Stockton, has lost through the
carelessness of a hunter, a valuable colt which was worth
$1,000.

And now comes the news that the Bard is almost himself
again and there is a strong probability that he well meet
Fireozi before the Monmouth races close.

Well, Andy McDowell has had to take Direct out of the
2:20 class, and he is none too well pleased. Victor may
make some more of them leave the same class.

It now looks as if Elmendorf stood a good chance of head-
ing the list of winning sires this year with Prince Charlie,
a position it has frequently attained with Virgil and Glenelg.

Charley Havens has a good pacer in Racquet, and Pete
Brandow was the happiest man in Napa when he came back
to weigh and found the figures 2:20* looking him in trie
face.

The talent must have lost a nice sum on the 2:25 pacing
race at Napa. Creole was a long shot, yet won easily.
Belle Button will yet make her mark before the season

Owing to the mysterious and unaccountable manner in
which postal ma'ters are ran on this coast, our reports from
Napa about the Thursday racing did not reach this office in
time for the present issue.

Mr. Corbitt sends his compliments to Mr. Williams, of In-
dependence, Iowa, and says that Axtell will have to lower
2:14f, for Lillian Wilkes is just on edge, and is after the
record .

The Directors of the Napa Fair are in high feather. On
Thursday they had money enough on hand to pay all ex-
penses, with the balance of the week to make a trifle and
pay off a part of their indebtedness.

Directa will win a race, aud that before long. I may be
wrong, but there was surely a chance to win the District
three-year-old race on Thursday last with the tilly.

About three hundred persons left San Francisco for Napa
on Thursday morning to witness the contest between Sunol
and Lillian Wilkes. The disappointment was great when
the discovery was made that the Palo Alto entry would not
6tart.

Johnny Goldsmith, you are a trump. Any man who can
take a three-year-old mare, which never started in a race be-
fore, and walk over for a puree in 2:18, is a master at his
profession. Mr. Goldsmith I tip my hat to yon.

Records without nnmber have been made this week. Hazel
Kirk drops to 2:24, Express reaches 2:23, Atto Rex 2:25, Palo
Alto 2:18, Direct 2:29i, Flora Bell 2:25, Fleet 2:24, Lookout
2:25, Racquet 2:20i, Creole 2:20, J. R. 2.-24J, Del Mar 2:30,
Lillian Wilkes 2:18".

Col. Simmons sayB that the New York Jockey Club will
make an effort to have Salvator, Proctor Knott and Spokane
meet in a special sweepstakes on their course. They should
be ridden by maiden jockeys at catch weights.

Palto Alto is full up of "running foolishness," but still he
has managed to lower his record to 2-' 18. There are scores
of persons who would be willing to lay aside their prejudices
in breeding if they could get^ a 2:18 trotter.

All the daily paperB have had reporters at the Napa races,
but the only correct account will be found in our columns this
week. Reporting a race is a peculiar branch of newspaper
work, and it is not to exceed one in a thousand that can give
proper details of an equine contest.

A match has been made between Kelly and Samuels on
behalf of their horse, Ed McGinnis, and G. W. Trahern,
with Rettie B. for $500 a side, the distanc3 to be a mile.
The raoe will be run at Sacramento during fair week. Mc-
Ginnis carries 120 and Rettie B. 110 pounds.

Princess Wilkes, one of the California fillies that was sold
at auction in New York city last winter, died last week at the
Parkville farm from inflammation of tbe bowels. Sbe was
by Guy Wilkes, 2:151,, dam Woodford Queen by Almont, and
represented strains of blood that have proven themselves
winners.

It is understood that Bob Campbell made jockey Barnes
a present of $3,000, when the latter won tbe Junior Cbam-
pian Stakes with Protection. Bob is very popular among
his associates and this last act of his will go far to prove
that his heart is as big as a wheelbarrow.

George Doherty has turned up at tbe opening of the
circuit with Victor, and demonstrated that the old son of
Echo has still a lot cf go in him. He upset many a calcula-
tion last year, and may prove a thorn in the side of the talent
before he leaves the circuit this year, I do not believe that
even "Hay Seed" knows how fast his horse really is.

Don Jose is doing very good work at Monmouth, and evi-
dently receiving a preparation for a rece Dext week. The
Californian looks well, and did his last mile and a quarter in-
Bid e 2:16. El Rio Rey, which is tbe pride of Winters stable,
gallops three-quarther in 1 :I9 as if the work was nothing bnt
the commonest exercise. Of the two-year-old horses in the
stable Barrett is the most advanced.

The Monmouth Park management has openeh a new stake
to be called the Comparative Stakes to be run in 1S92 by
the three-years-old b and four-yea r-oldB, mile and a quarter
$2,500 added. It will be worth about $15,000 aad is design-
ed to be of the same nature as the great Eclipse Stake at
Sandown Park, London.

Our special commissioner at lone, reported last week,
that the Judges hed m*de a mistake in placiDg Pubert
Earle second, instead of King Hooker, on the first day of the
meeting. Donathan was given Becond money, but on the
Directors discovering the mistake, they also gave Mr. Sie-
benthaler. $50 following in the footsteps of tbe Westside
Park Association.

We have heard of jockeys who have their valets, their
broughams, their hunters and their racers, but so far yacht-
ing has been out of their line. The two Barretts, however,
if report be true, intend to launch a yacht, which is at pres-
ent in Thompson's slips at Boston. Who wouldn't be a
jockey ?

For the information of those who often wonder what be-
comes of our well-known racehorses, it may not be out of
place here to refer to the case of Cockney Boy, who ran in
the Derby of 1S70, On Tuesday, Mr. Henry King was fined
40s; and 12s. 6d. costs, at tbe Hammersmith Police Court,
for cruelty to a horse in working him in an unfit condition.
The unfortunate animal was none other tbau the well-known
racer above referred to.

As was expected from his recent form, Donovan won the
Prince of Wales' Stakes at Ascot, despite the full penalty, in
a very easy fashion, and thereby made an extremely useful
addition to tbe total value of his winnings, which now stands
at £39,962 15s. He is the first English bred colt who has
achieved this with -a full penalty. Semolina, who won tte
thirty-second Bi-Annual Stakes on the same dav, has now
credited her owner with £4,605 8s. F. Barrett rode both
these winners on Tuesday.

Marcus Daly, or rather, his secretary, has made a mistake
in entering Lord Byron iu the 2:30 class, for the horse made
a record of 2:29 at Butte City, Montana, on August 10th,
last year. However, that there may be no unnecessary de-
lay or inconvenience when the horse comes to the post, we
have sent to the secretary of the Racing Association to find
out if the record was a correct one.

The committee appointed to report on suitable grounds
for an Agricultural Park near Colton, met last Wednesday at
the Board of Trade Rooms and reported favorably on the
Ralph Track which lies between San Bernardino and Colton.
The track consists of PI acres beautifully situated, plentv
of good water, and a soil that will taks but very little work
aud money to mafie a track second to none in the State.
This is a move in the right direction. The Capital Stock
will be $50,000.

I bad a very pleasant call this week from Richard Gird of
the Chino Ranch, who reports his ttock doing well. It is
almost too soon to hear results from the great southern
breeding establishment, but next season will find it repre-
sented in all the rich stakes and prepared to hold its own
with the oldest places. In the course of a few weeks this
great ranch will be visited by a Breeder axd Sportsman"
Commissioner, who will give our readers a fine sketch of this
mammouth breeding farm.

A capital tale, illustrating the cheek of some of our fashion'
able jockpys, is told hy "Rapier" in last week's Sporting and
Dramatic News. The day before the French steeplechase a
telegram was received by the steward of one of the Dover-
Calais boats requesting that a cabin should be reserved for
"Lord Robert Scott." When the Dover train arrived the
jockey in question strutted on board, and asked if a cabin had
been reserved for "Lord Robert Scott." On being answered
in the affirmative, the jockey replied, "Then show me to it."
and the steward, bowing and scraping with true British
toadyism, conducted his soidisant lordship to his cabin.

No man could get more speed from a horse than Murphy,
says the Tnrf, Field and Farm. Probably his greatest fault
as a driver was his lack of Fabian tactics. His policy was
always to win in straight heats; his disposition would not
allow him to throw even a heat. Such was his high sense
of honor that he was never, of late years, approached with
a proposition to fix a race. On the contrary, it was ever a
settled fact that Murphy's entry would win if it could, and
frequently, when he was behind a good horse that tbe entire
field was not certain of beating, the combination would be
made for Murphy to win, and this without consulting Mur-

phy-

Axtell, 2:143, and Allerton, 2:19, the phenomenal Northern-
bred three-year-olds, are now at Washington Park track, in
preparation for their engagements at the Northwestern
Breeder's meeting at that track on Aueust 19 to 24. C. W.
Williams, of Independence, Iowa, the owner, breeder, trainer
and driver of these two wonderful youngsters, favored the
Horseman with a call on Tuesday. In answer to a question
as the numerous large offers he is reported to have received
for Axtell he Baid: "Well, those I have seen in the papers
have b6en in the main correct, but I have received no offer
from the principals, all propositions to me having come
through agents; and as I have no thought or idea of selling I
never looked into the matter. I wouldn't take $100,000 for
him to-day. Why should I sell? He will earo me $50 000
next year in service fees at $1,000, I am already in receipt of
many applications. One breeder in KeDtocky desires to se-
cure service for leu. I shall not take him to Boston to start
in the National Stallion Stake, as I do not care to make so
long a journey with him, in view of the engagements he has
in the West. Yes, Allerton is the best three-year-old I ever
drove in a race, and I wouldn't take $50,000 for him."

During the past four months or more, several Eastern pa-
pers have been in the habit of copying articles from the
Breeder and Sportsman, without giving credit, and it has be-
come very annoying to see the same article in reputable
journals with credit given to the pilferers. I set a little trap
a short time ago, through the assistance of an old friend of
mine, lately returned from India, Mr. R. Kiplin, he writing
me an account of an imaginary race, and which was called
tbe Broken-lit k Handicap. In the story, Mr. Kiplin told
about Brunt the jockey, and said of him: "He began his ca-
reer by riding jump races in Melbourne, where a few Stew-
arts want lynching, and was one of the jockeys who came
through tbe awful butchery — perhaps you will recollect it —
of the Maribyruong Plate. The walls were colonial ram-
parts— logs of jarrah spiked into masonery — with wings as
strong as church buttresses. Once in his stride, a horse had
to jump or fall. He couldn't run out. In the Maribyrnong
Plate, twelve horses were jammed at tbe second wall. "Red
Hat," leading, fell this side, and threw out "The Gled," and
the ruck came up behind, and the space between wing and
wiog was one struggling, screaming, kicking shambles.
Four jockeys were taken out dead; three were very badly
hurt and Brunt was among the three". Well, the Canadian
Sportsman copied the article in its entirety without giving
credit, so I will now state for the information of Doddering
Dodds that the Maribyrnong Plate is a two year old flat race,
and there are no "colonial ramparts" for the youngsters to
jump over at the V. R. C. spring meeting. I wonder if the
"colonial pirate" will ever learn to be honest.

A Remarkable Mare.
Col. Edwards in a recent article says: Week before last
Miss Russell, the dam of Maud S., foaled a bay filly by Elec-
tioneer, at "Wbodburn farm. It is the seventeenth foal
dropped by Miss RusBell. Miss Russell has been bred to
King Wilkes. At the great St. Louis fair three years ago one
of the most interesting of the exhibits was the dam of Maud
S. At that time Miss Russell was on her way to the Pacific
Coast to be bred to the famous Electioneer. She was then
twenty-one years old, but remarkably well preserved, show-
ing none of the marks of age. It was said of this mare at tbe
time she was shipped that her owner, Mr. Alexander, took
great risk in sending the mare such a great distance at her
time of life. The risk of life was not only great, but the
risk of life and successful production was much greater.
If she lived to produce a foal by Electioneer she would
be twenty-three years old when the foal dropped. On the
question of old mares producing, statistics were produced in
order to show that the chances of Mi3s Russel being fruitful
at hei age were exceedingly slim. With the statistics as a
basis and English exoerience as illustrating, the future was
calculated upon in this wise: Th^y were eighty-three chan-
ces out of 1,000 th>it Miss Russell would produce a foal in
1888, and forty-nine chances out of one thousand that she
would produce another in 1SS9. The year following— 1S90
— the chances were against her as one thousand to 22. The
argument then concluded with an opinion that American
experiences would beat tbe English in longevity and fruit-
fulness of brood mares, but in- the case of Miss Russell, with
the change of climate, herbage, water, etc , included, sbe had
no advantage over English mores. With the odds of one
thousand to eighty-three against her, the prospects of an
Electioneer colt in 18SS were not very encouraging. The colt
has arrived, however, and with the chances reduced to twen-
ty-two out of a thousand in 1890, there will be another, bar-
ring accidents to the herself. If she lived to produce to King
Wilkes she will be twenty-five year old when the foal is drop-
ped. Statistics show that only twenty-two mares out of one
thousand are productive at the age of twenty five. It is
affirmed that the English mare Virgo produced to Sumpter
at the age of thirty-four.

Febris Pyogenica— Strangrles-

Froui time immemorial this disease has been known by the
term "strangles," probably on account of the difficulty of
respiration, and other symptoms resembling those of chok-
ing and strangulation. Although animals ere liable to be
afflicted at all times of life, it is more truly a disease affecting
young horse?, and is more prevalent in the summer and
autumn than at other periods of the year. Strangles has
been divided into two varieties, the benign or regular, iu
which there are purulent accumulations in the connective
tissue of tbe submaxillary space, and the malignant or bas-
tard, consisting ia the formation of multiple or successive
abscesses in various parts of the body. The benign form
seldom extends beyond a period of fourteen days, and gener-
ally terminates favorably; but tbe malignant form may be of
one or two months' duratiuu, and the animal may die of
various complications.

When animalB are very young, or are subjected to malhy-
gienic conditions and other debilitating influences, the di-
sease generally assumes a virulent form, and often proves
fatal. The premonitory symptoms of the benign form are
those of mild catarrh, accompaoied by simple continued fev-
er. The animal is dull, and bas a cough; there is eorness of
the throat, with difficulty of swallowing end respiration, and
disinclination for food. There may be a slight discbarge from
the nose, and frothy saliva from the month. In a short time
a swelling may be observed in tbe submaxillary space, which
may occupy the whole of the space between the branches of
the lower jaw or it may exist at one side only, and it is either
circumscribed or diffused.

The swelling gradually enlarges, becomes more painful to
the touch, and ultimately pus may be detected by fluctuation,
which, on evacuation, is followed by subsidence of the swell-
ing and amelioration of the symptoms. In the malignant
form the fever is more severe, but the most frequent form of
irregularity aud complication is where tbe local inflammatory
action and pus formation occur in connection with the gland-
structureB, most frequently of the parotid and lymph glands
at the inferior part of the neck, and lea's frequently of the
inguinal and messenteric glands. When the abscess occurs
in connection with the glands of the abdomen and chest, the
symptoms w 11 vary in accordance with the structures in-
volved.

For the treatment of the disease, the animal must be placed
under sanitary conditions, and in mild c 'pes such salines as
sulphate of soda or magnesia, and nitrate or chlorate of potash
allowed in the drinking water. When the swelling in the
submaxillary region become evident, poultices or warm-water
fomentations are useful in hastening the formation of pus,
and when the abcess is fnlly matured it will, either by sof-
tening and rupture of the cutaneons tissues, discharging itself,
or if thought preferable, it may be opened, and tbe
ae clean as possible with an antiseptic dressing.
any danger of asphyxia, the operation of tracht
1 have to be performed. — London Farmer.

Last Sunday was a dull one in angling circles. The catches
made were poor.

The Oakland wharves were crowded with fishermen, but
the smelt were running very thinly.

At the different points along the Marin County shore the
fishing was very bad, owing, no doubt, to the full moon.

To-morrow the tide will be favorable for Kershaws Point,
and for Lime Point, and the fishing should certainly be bet-
ter than on last Sunday.

John K. Craig has just returned from a weeks trip to San
Pedro and denieB th«t there is good trout fishing in that part
of the country. He says, however, that good surf fishing
may be enjoyed on the beach near Stone's Dairy.

A few good catches of black bass were recently made at
the Crystal Springs Lake.

THE GUN,

Fourth Match for the Southern California
Championship.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I enclose our fourth
shoot for the Selby Medal held at San Bernardino, Aug. 4th.
The day was very warm, 110 degrees in the shade, hence the
poor scores, in our double bird shooting, bird after bird be-
ing picked up with four and five shot holes through them.
Knight, of San Bernardino, won the medal. The Breeder
and Sportsman of July 27th, came to hand, giving a good re-
port of the last shoot. I have been taking the Breeder and
Sportsman for the last year through our news stand and like
the paper very much, and am glad to see that it is improving
every day. I understand you have charge of the State Meet-
ing at San Jose in October. If so, about what date will the
meeting take place, and I would like to ask what ground trap
yon intend usiug in the live bird contests. Our friend, Mr.
Chick, of San Diego, is the inventor of a very fine ground
trap and is anxious to introduce them. I have shot from a
great many ground traps and consider this the best I have
ever used. Maj. Kellogg has shot from them. Ask him what
he thinks of them, and if you can so arrange to use them, I
am quite sure they will give entire satisfaction. I 'am going
to try and get up to the State shoot. Send programmes as
Boon aB they are out.
The scores at our recent match were:

At 50 single Blue Rock Targets and 25 pairs. For a medal
presented by the Selby Smelting and Lead Company.

Colton, Aug.7tb, 1889.

Mj. A. G. Wilder, a prominent business man and sports-
man of Honolulu, is visiting San Francisco, and will remain
ir six or eight months.

Mr. J. E. Lucas killed two big bucks on Sunday last in
Eve minutes. He is getting more venison this year than his
share.

Board of Fish Commissioners.

The regular meeting of the Fish Commission heldonTues-
day last, at 220 Sutter Btreet, city, waB one of the most inter-
esting ever held by that body, those present being Hon. Jo-
seph Koutier and Hon. J. Downey Harvey. After transacting
the routine businesB usual to the meetings of the Board,
a discussion of the matter of importing to the State some one
or more game birds not indigenous was entered upon.
A draft of a circular to be sent out by the Com-
mission was read in substance, as follows : The Fish
Commission has two thousand dollars to expend in
introducing new game birds, such as wild turkeys,
prairie chickens, quail and pheasants. The birds, when
procured, will be distributed throughout the State in
such quantities and to such localities as may seem proper to
the Board. For the purpose of ascertaining what are the
most suitable localities the Board invites the officers and
members of all sportsman's organizations, as well as sports-
men generally, co send to the Fish Commission, P. O. Box
.327, Sacramento, such suggestions as they may deem best,
touching the subject matter. Like suggestions are also in-
vited from tbe preBB generally. Mill owners will do well to
keep in mind the fact that Section 635 of the Penal Code for-
bidding the passage of sawdust, lime, gas, tar, coculus indi-
ens, or any substance deleterious to fish, into any of the wa-
ters of the State, becomes operative on and after September
1st next. The Board will enforce tho law vigorously. The
Board authorized the employ meat of an engineer to make
plans and estimates for the removal of the obstructions at
Salmon Falls on the American River."

Fishing Trip to the Williamson River.

To the fly fisher who pushes away from San Francisco af-
ter business hours on a Saturday afternoon to return on the
following Monday morning with a "fifteen pound basket of
fish," consisting of his rubber boots carefully packed in
grass in his creel and a ftw tingerling trout laid out in state
on top of the grass, the assertion that a two-weeks' holiday
may be spent where trout averaging four pounds tach can be
caught in abundance will appear incredible. Yet such is the
case, and at a cost of not over fifty dollarB for the trip.

The veteran sportsman Captain Cumming and a few friends
among whom were Messrs. Juhn Mackenzie, O. A. Rouleau,
Al. Hall, Colonel Stoney and Willie Fenu, left SanFrancisco on
the 22nd of Jnne laBt with tickets for Ager, a station on the Or-
egon line of railway. We arrived there on the following day
early in the afternoon, and took the Btage for Linkville, a town
situated at the junction of the Upper Klamath and Lower Klam-
ath Lakes. The distance from Ager to Linkville Is about
58 miles. The latter place we reached about 5 p. m. on the
24th of June, and immediately hired a special stage to take
us to our destination, a portion of the Klamath Indian
Reservation through which the Williamson river flows before
falling into Klamath Lake. At Linkville we procured tea,
coffee, bacon, etc., sufficient to last during our ten days' stay
in camp. As soon as everything was ready, the Captain or-
dered an advance, and we started out to do the remainder of
tbe journey during the night. This we afterwaad learned
was a foolhardy proceeding, although we got safely to our
destination. About halt way between Linkville and the lat-
ter place there is a very dangerous spot when taken in the
dark. In many places not more than three or four inches
are clear between the wheels and boulders. This dangerous
part extends for a mile or two along the margin of Like
Klamath, and is called Modoc Point.

Early on the morning of the 25th we were on the Reserva-
tion, and at daybreak we found ourselves wanderiug in the
forest, the stagedriver having lost the way. After some
search he regained the main road, and we soon reached the
camping ground.

The camping ground selected was on a point formed by
the Sprague and Williamson rivers just before their waters
meet. In a few minutes several members of the party were
on the Williamson with fly and Bpoon hooks. No sooner
had fishing begun than such exclamations as "I have had a
rise!" "I've got him!" "He's gone!" "Got another!" and
etc., could be heard. Then comparative silence, as one after
another the beautiful fish were landed, until breakfast time.
The captain, who had fished there on two previous oocasions,
Btayed in camp to erect the tent, and was not at all surprised
when the first tisher to return trudged into camp with a bas-
ket full of medium sized fish and a six-pound trout, and an
eight-pound trout dangling on a willow switch. "You will
do better bye and bye" were the old shellback's words of ap-
proval. The whole party (six rods) went out in the evening
in order to get all the tish possible, so as to send speoimens
to San Francisco friends. The coach which brought us from
Linkville, was to return early in the morning and it was the
only, opportunity to get any fish home. By the time
the stage was ready to leave, twenty-four hours after
our arrival, we had 150 lbs. of the largest fish cleaned and
packed in straw. Considering that there was not one expert
tisher in the party and that two members had little or no
previous experience, this speaks well for the Williamson as a
tiBhing river.

From this time on during our stay, we gave 6sh to any one
passing by the camp, or to the Indians, our catches being
many times greater than our requirements for food. To see
an Indian fishing is a revelation to the fiy fisher who thinks
a split bamboo rod necessary to good casting. An Indian
will wade out as far as possible (the Williamson river has an
average breadth of about seventy yardB) and with a willow
stick, ten or twelve feet long, will throw a fly farther and let
it drop more lightly on the water than a first class sporting
fly caster can with any rod he chooses to use. Indians use
neither reel nor guides, possibly beoause they cannot get
them. They exhaust the fish strength quickly and land him
by grabbing him by the gills. An Indian can land with the
fly about four times more tish than an ordinary sportsman.
An hour or so is time enough for him to catch all the trout
he can take home,

The Williamson River cannot be crossed for many miles
except in a boat of some kind. An Indian who lives near
the river has a canoe whioh some reukle<-s members of our
party used in getting to the other side of the river. It is
simply a log, about 18 feet long, by about as many inches in
diameter, hollowed out. The captain while out fishing one
day saw an Indian fishing from this canoe and thought he
could do the same thing. He waited patiently until the In-
dian came ashore and went away, then he stole up to where
the canoe waB fastened to a bush on the bank, undone tbe
rope, and jumped in. The struggle was very short and ended
disastrously for the captain who went under water, and the
canoe floated over him, bottom up. After getting on land he
declared it the worst case of shipwreck he ever experienced,
although he has sailed round Cape Horn forty-three times.
"I jumped aboard and began to walk aft when the blamed
thing capsized" is how he describes the accident.

Mr. Emery, the Government Agent, who gave us permis
Bion to fish, kindly invited us to spend the Fourth of July
at the Agency, where the Indians on the reservation were to
celebrate the day; and sent down conveyances to bring ua
there. We gladly accepted his kind invitation. Several
hundred Indians with their wives and families were there
encamped in a grove. After some literary exercises the games
began, Captain Cumming being appointed judge. His de-
cisions gave satisfaction until he attempted to decide the
prettiest. babies.

It was Baid that he gave the first prize (a pair of suspend-
ers) to the baby with the beBt looking mother, and the seoond
{a large pair of cotton gloves) to the baby of a young Indian
lady who had smiled on him. His own party knew well
there was no foundation for these remarks, as he is well
known to be impervious, to such inflnences. At noon we
were invited by Mr. Emery, Colonel Compton, Superinten-
dent of Instruction, and Mr. Lee, Superintendent of Agricul-
ture, to take lunch with the Indians. A row of benches
extending along three Bides of a grove, covered with white
table clothB, served as tables. They were loaded with good
things to eat, and the quantity of fine bread, cake and roast
chicken supplied by the Indian women was astonishing.
The Indians numbered about five hundred, many of whom,
Mr. Emery reminded us, went about, only a few years ago, in
a breech clout with tomahawk and scalping-knife. "That
reminds me," said the captain, as he helped himself to
another half chicken, "that my dear, good wife may at this
moment be thinking that I am being Bcalped by those ter-
rible wild IodianB," and he laughed at the idea until Mb face
became purple.

After lunch the games were resumed. They terminated
in a game of baseball played between a picked nine from the
garrison at Fort Klamath and an Indian nine. The Indians
were too much for the soldiers and won by a score of 26 to 1 1.
After being entertained at dinner in Mr. Emery's house we
were driven in his conveyance to camp.

At an early hour on the following morning we were all
fishing again, having acquired a new zest from the change of
the day before. A sportsman who 1b more anxious about the
weight of his catch than the quality of his sport, will use a
spoon (almost any kind will do) to fish on tbe Williamson
river. When a fish swallows a spoon with a treble hook
attached he has not much chance of escape and is easily
drowned because his mouth is kept open by the spoon and
hooks. But when a fish rises to the fly he does not always
get caught even if he has it in bis mouth. And if he does
get caught he may shake himself clear of the fly, but he
must "throw up bis hands" if ever the treble, spoon hooka
enter between hie jaws.

Killing fiBh with a spoon can hardly be compared with fly
fishing, nor can a man employed in splashing the water with
a spoon be said to be practicing a "gentle art." Many of our
fish were caught with the fly, but the larger number were
landed by means of the spoon. Our success with the latter
set a bad example to the Indians, for several of them begged
for one and proved themselves as superior with this lure as
th'ey are with the fly. An old Indian named Johnson who
Buffers from rheumatism, was warned by the doctor against
going into the water when fishing. We gave him a spoon
which he attached to his line. He would swing it round his
head, throw it out into the stream, and pull it quickly ashore.
He could catch more fish in this way than any of our party
could, although able to wade in.

Before returning home we paid two visits to Spring Creek.
This is a branch of the Williamson river. In the stream
itself we were not very successful, although we could see
many fish in the water which is so clear that at a depth of
12 to 15 feet of swiftly running water, trout could be dis-
tinctly seen. So oold is this Btream that one's feet and legs,
although encased in gum boots, become numb after a short
stay in the water. Where Spring Creek joins the Williamson
river we oonld see many tish which one would imagine
weighed about two pounds each. We began fishing and one
of the first fish landed weighed seven pounds. During the
two visits we caught about fifty fish in that place, aggrega-
ting over 200 lbs. in weight. The clear water make's the fish
look small, and what seems from the bank to be a pound
trout, is in reality several times larger.

Our last night, es a party, on the Williamson river had
come, and from the record daily registered of our catch we
ascertained that we brought 1,350 pounds of tront into camp
during our ten days stay. This must not be looked on as
expert fishing, but as fishing on a remarkable river. It is
remarkable in several ways: it has no mud, but little sand,
and no gravel in the bottom. So far as we saw it there is
only solid rock, some ledges of which come up at intervals
to within a few feet of the Burface and extend diagonally
across from side to side of the river. These ledges or reefs
cause the waters so ripple over them and the fish lie in great
numbers on the edgeB of the deep pools on both sides.

The Indians go out on these reefs aa far as possible and
fish therefrom.

If one learned from these people he would use a very large
fly hook, about as large as a salmon hook. We noticed that
they are partial to a brown hackle^ but with almost any
large hook they are successful. If no Indian can be seen
casting hiB fly on the river the chances for a good catoh are
poor. None but the best salmon leaders should be used, any
good rod will do, but a two-handed 16 or IS foot rod will be
found best, as it throws a longer line and kills a fish more
easily than a slender short rod. The room for casting is
unlimited, and tbe banks of the river in most places are as
Bmooth as a carpet. One has to be careful when going out on
the reefs, beoause if carried down a few feet he is in very
deep water, where only a strong swimmer can keep afloat.

When the Captain, on the morning of our departure, piped
all hands on deck, and instructed "the man on the fo'oasfle, "
as he called the driver, to sail ahead, it was not without feel-
ings of regret that we left the soene of our ten days sport.

Coming up we had doubted tbe Captain's estimate of the
sport we were to have, and now we were going back to tell
our friends what we had done, feeling that our veracity would
be questioned. * Mac,

Two Standard
bred Colts,

BRED BY
tAI.VI V II. FKEW.

AGM> FREW, a filly foaled April 7, 1868. at
San Diego. She Is of a dark chestnut color, body
and legs; no white, except stripe on face. She was
16 months old Aug. 7th, and her last monthly record
of weight and height showed her to be 55 inches
high, and to weigh 787 pounds, with a girth of 6'.J
inches, and 18.^ inches around the forearm. Bow Is
that for a trotter only ]C months old 1 In conforma-
tion and general proportion she is admirably built,
with wonderfully good hind quarters, wide hips,
good cannon bones, exceptionally good hoofs, and
fine flut knees. She is sound all over, a rare beauty,
and the best judges predict that she will show great
speed and be the mother of many fast trotters. She
is halter and bridle broke, and stands without tie-
ing wbil» being groomed.

Her pedigree is extra. She was sired by Woodlake
at Paxton, Ills. He by Woodford'3 Mambrino. Sire's
first dam was Hager; she by Alexander's Abdallab.
Hager was the mother of the great Countersign.
Hager's dam was by Downing's Bay Messenger.
Hager's second dam was bySirArchy. Alexander'
Abdallah sired the peerless Goldsmith Maid and
five others that made in better than 2:30. Also sired
twelve stallions that sired eighty-six trotters in
tetter than 2:£0; also sired nineteen dams that pro-
duced twenty trotters in better than 2:30.

Gay, the dam of Agnes Frew, was sired by John
Bright. He by that matchless stall.on Volunteer.
He 1b the sire of St. Julien, who is Gay's half uncle.
Gay resembles him so much lhat strangers who were
acquainted with him at first sight of Gay took her for
St. Julien. Volunteer, among horsemen, has a
national reputation, so needless to follow his pedi-
gree.

Gay is a dark bright bay color; black inane, lail and
legs. A powerfully built animal of great force and
agility. She is fast, but was never tracked or trained.
Ber dam was Fashion; she by a Kentucky thorough-
bred stallion. In fifty or more races Fashion took
first prize or first money. She was a wonder. I
owned her when I bred Gay. rasbion was bred by
A. J. Reed of Irish Grove, 111. Her dam was a high
bred H^mbletonian.

These statements are not guess s, but susceptible
of proof, and can be relied on as a verity. I will part
with her for §1.000. It is a great bargain, a rarB
opportunity.

In Full Blast.

The circuit can be said to have started in real earnest,
and the faces usually seen around the horsemen's head-
quarters are missing for the time being. The boys are all
out on the road for glory and money, but more especially
the latter, with a slight inclination for a goodly slice of
the former. With what unction stories will be told dur-
ing the coming winter of how the 2:20 stallion race was
won, or how the 3-00 class was won by a dark horse
that none of them could beat, and if there is another
'Hayseed" comes to the fore how proud the man will be
who has a Sensation in reserve to down him! The re-
ports from Napa are very encouraging, and there is a
prospect of large attendance all through the circuit.
The programmes are far supferior to any heretofore is-
sued, the purses aggregate more, the entries are excel-
lent, and the reports from the various stables as to the
condition of the flyers desire nothing further to be
wished. The Breeder and Sportsman will have full
and correct accounts of all the contests, having able rep-
resentatives to furnish reliable reports. The cattle de-
partments will be attended to in a manner never before
attempted; in fact, our readers may rely on all the
news that will be of interest to them.

Free for all Stallion Purse-

But a few weeks ago we mentioned that in all proba-
bility there would a free for all stallion purse offered by
one of the Associations, and that there would be in all
likelihood six entries including Sable Wilkes. At the
time we did not know that Mr. Corbitt had thrown bis
great young stallion out of training, but have since men-
tioned the fact in the Breeder and Sportsman, so tha*1
any association who might offer a large purse would not
be misled, thinking they could get Sable Wilkes as a
great drawing card. However, the secretary of the
Stockton Association sends us word that the Directors
have authorized him to advertise for entries for a free for
all stallion race (Stamboul barred.) the purse to be
SI, 000, divided into four moneys. Here is an opportunity
for the great crack-a-jacks to meet and settle the question
of supremacy. On every race track in the State where
horses are trained, arguments are constantly arising as to
the relative merits of respective sires. In Stockton Steve
Whipple has a large following, while at Petaluma
Dawn is considered by many invincible. At the Bay
District lately, Bay Rose has had many admirers, and
Direct is thought well off. Palo Alto and Ansel are also
known to be speedy. Ringwood may possibly prove hi8
ability to travel with such company, and fast time is re-
ported for Atto Rex, the San Deigo stallion. Before the
time of entry comes around there should be a gcodly
number ready to enter the lists, and battle for the purse,
so generously offered by the Stockton folks.

Falrlawn Stock.

We are pained to announce that the splendid breeding
establishment, Fairlawn farm, near Lexington, Ky.
will be broken up, notwithstanding the notice already
given, that young Mr. Withers would still carry on the
business. The following letter speaks for itself.

Editor Breder and Sportsman ; — It is with deepest re-
gret I announce the breaki g up of Fairlawn Stock Farm,
an establishment that 6fteen years of study and constant
lahor on the part of my father, secured a reputation for hon-
esty and fair dealing, second to none that ever existed. Not a
single colt did the proprietor ever train and not a single cent
did he ever spend to induce others to train the produce of his
stallions. No other owner of a prominent stallion ever com-
pelled him to carry such a handicap. Nevertheless the eqnalB
of Almont, Happy Medium and Aberdeen, can be counted on
the fingers of one hand. There is to-day as much undevel-
oped Bpeed at Fairlawn aa wbb ever on ono farm, and I Grmly
believe that of the 250 head to be sold, 125 could be put in
the 2:30 list. The sale will be about the middle of October,
and every animal will be sold, without any reserve whatever.

Lexington, Ky., June 31, '89. M. T. Withers.

Uame Conservation.

The activity now being shown by the FiBh Commission
should meet ene. getic response from the sportsmen of
the State. In the absence of a well established and
strong public sentiment favoring the enforcement of the
game and fish laws, the commissioa is practically pow-
erless. The deputies can, it is true, make arrests, secure
evidence and drag offenders before justices, but when
arraigned it is almost impossible to secure convictions
for the reason that the prosecutions are neseBsarily made
in outlying districts where a few votes one way or
another mean success or failure to the candidates for the
elective offices. There seems to be but one remedy — to
so attract general attention to the intent of game laws
as to enlighten the average citizen — to impress upon his
mind the desirability of game and game fish, the danger
of extermination which was never so menacing as now,
and the efficacy of observance of the provisions of law in
maintaining the supply.

The public press has already done much in this be-
half, and may be relied upon to continue its efforts, but

the duty of disseminating the information rneiifoned
does not by any means rest wi h the press aloui'. Sprls"
men also should feel most positive interest in furnisiing
the public with facts which make for sportsmanly inter-
ests. The Fish Commission is ready to prosecute any
and all offenders brought to notice, when the evidence
presented justifie3 a hope for a conviction, Imt in tne very
nature of the case violations of the game laws are u*-,.R
likely to be seon. by sportsmen than by others, and they
should feel bound to furnish the fullest data to the proper
officers whenever infractions come to their knowledge
The bare statement that unseasonable game has been
destroyed is of little value. Time, place, witnesses, and
all other information must be imparted, even though at
cost of personal friendships. When it is known that
every poacher will be arrested with reasonable prospect
of conviction, poaching will soon cease.

S. K. and Frank Dake.

S. K., of Woodland, says Hutton's Bulwer was a full
brother to Lola Montez. That is a mistake. My father (the
late James Moore of Yolo County) brought Sir Bulwer and
Ada Byron (name changed to Lola Montez) across the plains
to California in 1852, and Sir Bulwer was only half brother
to Lola Montez, both Grey Eigles. Sir Bulwer was sold to
J. M. Harbin, of Yolo County, now of DuraDgo. My father
bought Sir Bulwer and Lola Montez from Col. Lee Howard,
and they were Kentucky horses. Respectfully,

Susie B. Moore Wolfskill.

Can you, or any subscriber, inform me of the whereabouts
of the stallion Effingham, formerly owned by the late ex-
Mayor Bryant, and then kept at hiB ranch back of Oakland,
near the Fish Ranch. He is supposed to be in Santa Clara
County. Efflogham was by Speculation (by Rysdyk's Ham-
bletoman) out of the thoroughbred California Belmont mare
Jib.

Answer. — When we last heard of Effingham he was in the
neighborhood of San Jose. Probably some reader can give
the desired information.

Some few months ago an unanspecting friend bought a
fine old mare from a Long Island horseman. Here is the ex-
traordinary pedigree which accompained the new purchase:
"Daisy, grey mare sired by Heron (by imp. Lexington); dam
by Hoagland's Grey Messenger, shp by imp. Bonnie Scotland.
I bought thin mare from Larry Kane." It is a question
whether in the history of the trotting horee there can be
found anything more original than this.

Short Stories.

brave ititl Way; Epigrammatic and Otherwise— Sow
Seasonable.

Whenever yon attend a horserace always come away and
confidentially tell some friend ibaE so and so "pulled" his
horse and that the race was a jjb! Although the contest may
be for a harness only, with no betting on either horse, don't
forget to Bf>r iLe r<*ce was a fraud. This statement causes
yftr.. mend to look upon you as a superior being of great
perception and profundity.

If you should atteDd your local lair, and witness a race
between an old campaigner — we will call him "Bege, " record
2:17* — and two other young and speedy horses, who are out
for th.ir first season; should the old campaigner fail to wiD,
and the fastest heat made by the others be not better than
2:23i, know that you are the innocent and unwilling victim
of a "bold frand. It may be that the old campaigner made his
record of 2:17£ seven or eight years ago; nevetheless he
should trot better than 2;20, of course, even now. There is
of course a question whether or not a horse should duplicate
his record every time he trots a race, but the prepouderence
of evidence would seem to show that he should! You have
the satisfaction at least of wearing an incredulous smile dur-
ing the farcieal contest, and after "Bege" gets beaten, tell
your friend that "that bay horse has a record of 2:17V' — and
then smile !

If "Bege" could only talk! He might say, "Seven years
ago I was a great young horse. I was the sensation of the
year. Admirers blocked round my stall door, and gazed
respectfully at me. Grooms watched me night and day,
and my every want was supplied. I remember the victori-
ous conquests I made in my class that year. I suffered
defeat but once, and then only after a hard and weary race.
I strived to do all I could, and was pleased when I heard
my driver say 'Bege is an honest horse, he'll do all he
knows how.' I remember having him Bay 'Bege's record
will place him in hot company nest Eeason: when next
season came I found out what he meant. My races were
long and severe, and for the first time I felt the sting of the
lash. Sometimes I won, and sometimes I lost, but Bonie-
way during my sscond season I did not feel like I did the
day I made my mile in 2:17A. How the men shouted and
the ladies waved their handkerchiefs from the balcony!
My third year was not very fortunate. I heard my driver
say, 'Bege has got a leg.' 1 always knew I had more than
one leg. I knew that for a long time one leg hurt me, Borne
days more than others. Now in this my seventh year of
following the circuit I seldom am first, sometimes second,
and often third. I try hard, very hard, but my rivals seem
to never tire, and they are too fast for me. From a career
on the priDcipal tracks, befoie many thousands of people, I
have gradually come down to trotting races in country places
and reviled and cursed by ignorant men, who do not under-
stand my intirmiiies, for not finishing ahead of younger and
fresher horses. I have even been subjected to the indignity
of having my sure driver taken away from me and a stronger
placed in my Bolky, beoaose I could not go fast enough.
Nobody understands me but Tom. We have talks some-
times, Tom and I. The other day he said, "this is your
last season, old maD, trying to win a piece of the money,
you shall rest after this year, and I was very glad".

There is a great deal of foolish talk about a horse "quit-
ting;" I mean a very fast horse. Take for instance a horse
capable of doing a half mile in 1:05 or t :06, and a quarter in
31 seconds. I saw a horse do that this last year. But he
could not go a mile much better than 2:20. Consequently
most everybody said "he's a rank quitter!" True, he did
stop some when within 40 yards of the wire. But did you
ever consider that where a horse has such a flight of speed
that enables him to go a half mile at the trot or pace in 1:05,
that the strain on that horse is bound to be great? and while
many horses can to go the half mile pole in 1 :05 or 1 :06, they
can't finish the mile in 2:10 or2:ll. It would be wonderful
if they could. During the season of 1888 I saw three three-
year-old pacers, all capable of beating 2:15. Yet if some
time during the season's races, one of these colts failed to
finish a mile within three or four seconds of their best record,
many men shouted :'quitt6r," "soft- hearted," "not quite
game enough," and other Buch expressions. They seem to
forget that five years ago such a performance by colts of that
aoo would have been received with unbounded astonishment
and wonder, and the tale would have been heralded far and
wide asja sort of modern edition of Baron Munchausen! In
this day and age it seems to attract but slight attention.
I saw this same season a two-year old trotter go a mile in
2:18! A few hollow yells were given by men who Beemed to
think it rather of an onerous duty, and that was all! I
presume that if next season a yearling should trot in 2:20 it
would evoke little surprise or enthusiasm— while if he
trotted seven-eighths of the mile at a 2:20 gait, and "stopped"
a trifle in the last furlong there would be men who would
stigmatize the little fellow as a quitter. I always feel like
telling these men that before they find fault they should try
and breed one as good. They would probably quit before
the colt did.

If you hear a man say, "that is a fine gaited horae; nice open
gait," meaning a long gaited horse, with spreading action be-
hind, one that passes outside hie foreleg6 ten or twelve inches
with his hind feet, you may be Bure that man don't know
what constitutes a perfect gait. The big long gaited horseB
with dwelling action never trot very fast. It is a hard matter
for any of them to beat 2:30. "When it comes to 2:20, 2:18 or
2:16 they are entirely worthleas. I have studied the Trot-
tiDgKegister and Underbill's descriptive 2:30 or better trot-
ters, and I find no account of any of them going much faster
then 2:30, and Beldom that fast. On the other hand a short,
very rapid gaited horse is equally faulty.

The horse that is gaited straight ahead, i. e., whose hind
feet follow his fore feet, and who seems to "roll up" his gait
under him is the perfect gaited horse for a race horse. A very
fast horse must have a rapid action, otherwise he wouldn't be
fast. The gait of Harry Wilkes 2:13£, Jay-Eye-See 2:10,
Patron 2:14£, Arab 2:15, and a few others of their claasa, is
smooth, rapid, and without wa6te action.

Id reference to the oft mentioned fact "that God placed
barefooted horses upon the earth, and man is foolifh to tam-
per with his handiwork." I have this to say; Many horses
can go barefooted on the road an almost indefinite time, and
others canDot! The exceeding fineness of texture in Borne
hordes feet enables them to stand wear and tear on the road
without getting tenderfooted- Other horses have naturally a
brittle or cheesy hoof and no amount of endeavor would make
them go barefooted without flinching for any length of lime.
It is true that the longer a horse goes barefooted the tmgher
the hoof becomes and the more vigorous the growth. Yet it
is undeniable that there are many horses that could never be
brought to such perfection of fact that they could travel in-
definitely, day after day without shoeing.

I was once confronted with the expression that "God placed
barefooted horses upon earth and man is foolish to tamper

with his handiwork."' I replied that when God badf-reated the
equine race none of Ibem con Id trot a mile in 2:20 or run a
mile in 1:40. and that it had required many years of "tam-
pering" by man to bring this result about. "

Blinders is a theme that has convulsed the soul of many
a man. Some good men have "gone wrong under the hat"
while arguing upon it. On this subject much is written
that is erroneous Many persons hold opinions in relation
to this question that are positive and unyielding aud when
driven to the wall by unanswerable arguments are silent,
though doubtless of the same opinion still. I have heard
men say that all horses should be driven in an oinen bridle;
others that no horse should be driven without blinders.
The most tenacious, however, in their preconceived convic-
tions are the theorists who advocate no blinds. These men
talk their belief everywhere and at all times, and you can't
change them one jot or tittle If they see a good-locking
horse go by they will probably remark, "If that was my
horse I'd pull those blinds off the first thing."

If a colt is broken without blinders there is no danger
when an open bridle is used. But if a horse is broken with
blinders and driven that way for several years, and then
suddenly hitched up with an open bridle, yon are always
liable to accident, and it may prove of a very serious charac-
ter. I kuow of no surer method of getting hurt thau lo
hitch up a fine feeling horse in an open bridle when he
has always been driven with blinders — at least, without
considerable preparation beforehand.

"One man's meat is another man's poison" is a homely
and uncouth saying. It is, howevc-r, quite true, not only in
reference to mankind, but to the animal kingdom as well.

One horse can be driven without blinders with pc-rfect
safety, though perhaps not used to it; another could not be
so driven, aud could not be taught to drive that way with-
out danger.

One horse, though perhaps nervous and excitable, will
learn after a time to go fairly well in an open bridle, and be-
ing naturally kindly disposed, could be driven thus without
danger.

Another may go just like him for a month or more and
then some day kick the buggy to pieces. This would arise
from the second horse becoming suddenly frightened and
losing his head. All hordes are not as "level-headed" as
they might be, with advantage to themselves and owners.

Again, a horse may act good and drive well without
blinders, yet be a most uncomfortable horse on the road be
cause he jumps every time you raise your hands or make a
move to touch the whip; and if you are driving him to the
pole you caunot tap the other horse with the lines without
scaring him badly.

Some times an open bridle can be worked on a horse to
great advantage. This in my experience has been exempli-
fied in two instances. The first is where a horse driven sin-
gle is scored just enough to make him a free driver, whereas,
with blinders he is a trifle ' 'logy." The second is when a horse
is driven to the Dole. Some horses "drive up" better in an
open bridle, when hooked double.

No rule, suitable to all caaes could by any possibility be
formulated. Every ma i must be his own judge of the adap-
tability of either method.

In concluding this subject, I must say that as far as "ap-
pearances" go, very few horses can wear an open bridle ad-
vantageously. A handsome horse with a very fine head, a
slender ear, and a good move, Ioosb well in an open bridle,
while a horse with a head a trifle too large, or with a Roman
nose and big ears, looks badly without blinders. Were I to
break and train 1,000 colts, I would certainly teach every
one to go without blinders, and then they could be driven
with safety either way.

It would seem that Mr. C. W. Williams, of Iowa, has
things about his own way. Axtell not only trots in 2:14f at
three years, but Allerton, (3 yrs.,) comes out in a field of old
horses and after a hard race makes a record of 2:20£, which
he lowers to 2:19, a few days afterward. Good judges say
Allerton is sure to trot in 2:16, before the snow flies. Lucky
Mr. Williams. Bred three mares to different stallions, four
years ago, and Axtell and Allerton are two of the colts. Many
men have spent a barrel of money in the effort to achieve his
success, and have totally failed. His bed of roses is at times
pierced with the subble point of a thorn, however. Not long
sinoe some gentleman in the Ohicago Horseman felt it in-
cumbent upon him to give Mr. "Williams a little advice. This
advice was "offered just after Axtell trotted to a three-year-
old record of 2:21£, and previous to his trotting in 2:1 5 J.
The gentleman advised Mr. Williams to not trot Axtell too
many hard miles; to not let the gladsome throng see his
great colt move too much, and to not be drawn from the even
tenor of his way by the applause of speotators. He also sug-
gested that Axtell be placed in the hands of a professional
trainer and prepared for a fast mile. After Axtell went a mile
in 2:14f, I think the gentleman was sorry he said anything.
When a man can carry a two-year-old 3,000 mileB, trot him
on half-mile tracks, in the mud and rain, and finish the
Beason with a record of 2:23 for his colt, it is pretty safe to
let that man alone, even if he is considered an amateur driv-
er. It is a safe proposition to assert that Mr. Williams third
colt, by Onward, will beat 2:30 next year. If he don't Mr.
Williams will be in hard luck. I delight, however, in any
man's good fortune, and I am sure Mr. Williams deserves his.
He must certainly have been one of those people born under
a lucky star, as 'tis often said of very fortunate people. I
would respectfully dedicate the following chaste selections to
Mr. Williams, and suggest that he learn to sing it. The air
is from the "jinghs song," in "Happy Hottentots."

I am a man from Iowa, from Iowa,

Aud Williams is my Dime.

My heart la ever light and gay, light and gay,

For Axtell made my fame.
Dontcberkjiow he's quite a horse, quite a horse,
For all I've to do is to say when, gay when ;
And my soul would fill with remorse,

If he didn't beat 2:10.

I also havft another hors<5, another hor e,

Allerton is his name, bis name;

Don't forget him — he's the boss, he's the bosB ;

That's Just what I claim.
He's smooth and easy, very fast, very fast;
To adore him he's only to be seen, lo be seen;
Courageous, steady, a mile out he can last,

I'm sure be can beat 2:15.

If the above doggerel meets Mr. William's eye, he will not
consider me much of a poet, I am thinking; yet why should
I care? It has always been the perogaiive of genius to go
unappreciated, and wherein am I greater than Iguacious
Donnely's "Bacon?"

1 recall another man from Iowa, who was not lacky. This
! man had a horsu that was a fair performer at Way hack June-
' tion and upon other tracks in the bus he?, and the old m»n
j became imbuf d with the idea that the coarse brush was be-
neath his dignity, and that he was wasting goHen opportum-
i ties by remaining loDger in the timber. Accordingly he
\ packed his grip, and .accompanied by a runner and a bul[
dog, he started for one of the "big meetings" many miles

from his home. He entered bis horse in a mile dash, and as
it was a good betting race, the old man "went miu the bos"
many times. Being satisried at last, he to >k up a good posi-
tion in the snn, with his chin resting npon a posi, wh°re he
could see the race to advantage. Against his entry were s^ine
crack race horses. After a couple of breakaways they got off
to an even start. The old man was thinking what he should
tio with his winnings— for he never doubted that his horse
would win— when the starting bell rang. To the quarter his
horse was up with the others, but from there on he gradually
fell back, or, to speak more correctly, the others left him,
until, when they all closed up on entering the stretch, his
horse was one hundred yards behind, and when they finished
he was one hundred and fifty back.

The old man gazed upon the spectacle as one in a dream,
and never moved until the judges rendered their d cision,
which wound up by declaring his horse distanced. He
walked out upon the track in froDt of the judges' stand and
said: "Judges, can a granger from Iowa say sometbing?"

Being accorded the privilege, he continued:

"I come herewith a hoss and a bull dog. I started the
hoss in this here race, and thought to win mv share of tbe
dost. I made a big mistake; I should have started Ihe dog:"

Amid the applause of his hearers the old man grasped hi*
grip, collared his bull dog, and started for Waybaek Jnnction!

I hear there U a trotter in this State that is confidently
expected to beat 2:12 this season. It is not Stainboul, either.
I think his owner over-rates him a little; still he is verv fast,
and if he was able tn trot i. exeiy quailer ncaily as fast as he
can go one-qunrter, 2:12 would be an easy thing for him.

AQUATICS.

The nest great aquatic event will be the O'Conoor-Searl
match for the world's championship over the Thames course,
England, September 8th. It will undoubtedly arouse greater
public interest than any similar event that has taken place in
years, and in point of speculation will far eclipse any rowing
race that has ever taken p'ace. There are thousandsof pounds
of Australian money to be placed on the Antipodian, and it
is judged from present indications that SearFwill also he a
big favorite with rowing men on the Thames, and that means
also with the English almost to a man. In this country,
especially Canada and California, O'Connor will be a hot
choice, but from the performance of both men, there should
be no odds, providing both men row up to the starting line
in equally good condition.

Replying to a letter from a friend in this city, an ex-cham-
pion, who is now in England, says of Searl:

"He is big enough for anything, with some to spare; a
physique, the beau ideal of a sculler; he is a great, good-
natured fellow, always smiling, and never an ill word about
or short reply for any one. He requires more work than
anyone I ever saw, and the speed he drives his boat is simply
marvelous; he rows twice each day, altogether about fourteen
miles, and does about the Bame distance in his walks. He
has the most deceptive style of rowing of anyone I ever saw,
and you must row alongside of him to get the true idea of
what a wonderful and original style he bas; in catohing his
water he doesn't slide so far forward as either O'Connor,
Hanlan or Laycock, but as he comes up on his slide, he seems
to drop his shoulder points forward, bend his body down-
ward slightly, and his great long muscular arms shoot out
suddenly straight as s-ticks way beyond his toes, and with a
quick grab Le Dories his blades in the water and immediately
begins to 6lide, squaring his shoulders and Blraighteuing his
back at the same time. Just before he finishes his slide he"
begins to use his armF, and at the finish of his Btroke he
seems to ease up, and as he takes his oars from the water,
which he does so quickly and neatly as to hardly raiee a
ripple on the water, he is sitting perfectly erect, and as his
sculls leave the water he is starling back for another
grab. He rows with something of the old vim aud dash
that I have seen Charley Courtney show years ago in his
practice, being very powerful aud supple as a cat. He brings
his sculls to him with such a graceful ease that would indi-
cate he wasn't putting an ounce of strength on, but, al-
though they come back with more speed than any sculler I
ever saw, there is no jar or stopping perceptible to his boat,
either in the finish or recovery of his stroke. 'He fakes
enough work to use up an ordinary man, and yet I have
never heard him say he was tired,' remarked his trainer to
me this morning.

Of course, as you know, I was, and am still, an O'Connor
man iu sympathy, but my money will be on the tow-headed
boy from Australia September 8th, aud if the '
shows him the way front Putney to Mort lake, I
back to America. I will send you a few lines b
race."

There is nothing new in way of match nukiu.

THURSDAY.

At half past ten a large and brilliant gathering congregated
on the grand stand and lined both sides of the track to see
the Equestrian Tournament, limited to the district. Nine
ladies turned out. In the preliminary exercise Miss Mollie
Bottorff, who was riding an unruly pinto with only a saddle
«lotb, narrowly escaped serious injuries. The snrsingle
turned, and with the horse bolting, the fair rider had all she
conld do to cling on until the horse was pluckily stopped,
juBt passed the stand, by Mr. Reams. The lady was given a
remount, a different horse this time, and saddle, and joined
the other competitors shortly afterwards. The exhibition of
riding was of the usual kind, trotting, cantering, singly, in
pairs, etc. The first prize, a saddle and riding habit, was
awarded to Mi6S Evelyn Packard, who, in a blue habit, rode
her black cob in very good Btyle. The second prize, $40, was
given to Miss Clara Darbin, who was dressed in irreproacha-
bly style and managed her graceful brown horse with ease.
The third prize, $30, was taken by Miss Mollie Bottorff, who
showed up very well after her change of horse, her seat and
hands being nearly perfection. She, like the winner of the
second prize, was turned out in true Rotten Row style. The
fourth prize, §20, was given to Mrs. Deweese, who rode her
big chestnut, emblazoned with the legend "Daily Report"
on the saddle cloth, in workmanlike style. Mrs. McFarland
was the winner of §10. The other four equestrians. Misses
Loyce Beagles, Clara Bowman, Maggie Dobinson and Mrs.
Charles Coldwell, were awarded extra prizas. Miss Bowman,
who was very quietly cressed in a green habit, with a tall
black hat, a la mode, on a good-looking bay, was perhaps de.
serving of more notice than she received, for her horse came
nearer bemg a ladie's hack than most of them, while she
handled him with ease and confidence. The judges were Mon-
roe Salisbary. Esq., E. A. Leake and P. J. A. Linigan.

In the afternoon the"fair was continued, the programme
being a strong one. The feature of the day would have been
the Lilian "Wilkes and Sanol race for the three-year-old
8take; but as Sunol had not been feeding well it was not
deemed advisable to trot her so early in the season, as it is
hoped she will lower the three-year-old record before the
close of the year. She was, however, exhibited on the track,
and moved down the stretch a couple of timeB at three-quar-
ter speed, to give the public, many of whom came specially
to see her, a chance to look at one of the many phenomenal
Palo Alto trotters. Goldsmith gave the public a grand treat,
driving Lilian Wilkes, after a slow heat, a mile in 2:1S; the
handsome daughter of Guy Wilkes moving with ease and
regularity, looked as though she could have gone much
faster, and when one considers .that the shapely daughter of
* Guy was never hitched up before last fall there is every indi-
cation of her leading even Sunol a merry pace in the fall.

The free-for-all pacing also fell through, owing to an injury
received by Almont Patchen on the cars on his way
up; he was unable to start. The programme, neverthe-
less, gave general satisfaction. The first race, the postponed
district three-year-old, had six starters. Directa, the black
daughter of Directo r, looked as though she had a mortgage
on the race at one time, and could certainly have obtained a
record better than thirty but in a five heat race all bat she
and Washington were distanced, Keepsake being shut out in
the final. 'Washington proved himself a staunch game colt,
and although hardly possessed of as much speed as Directa,
he can keep his pace up longer. I do not infer that she
is not game, for in five heats she was never worse than sec-
ond, and probably lack of condition told on her.

The 2:27 was one of the biggest betting races of the week,
Belle B. and Temple being made equal favorites. After the
first heat Belle was made a hot favorite, and though beaten
jn the second heat, was made a still better favorite in the
third. In the foorth, Alphens was backed fairly as second
choice. Johnny Goldsmith was up behind him in the pre-
ceding heat when he showed great improvement, being only
beaten a head. Temple was favorite, but Alphaeus won
readily, Hellman jadiciously laying up the heat. The fifth
heat decided the race, Temple, a big favorite, winning easily
in 2:25, the best time in the race.

Id the special, Don Toma^ was made favorite and justified
the confidence reposed in him by winning, but had it not
been for Wjlkes' accident, he would have had a hard race.
As it wa3 Wilkes was , withdrawn, after the third heat in
which he cut his quarter very badly un the backstretch, and
then finished a hard game race-beaten a head. Dustin's
luck is something worse than bad, Maggie E. and Patchen
got injared in the ears and then Gns tore his quarter, when
right in the race. McDowell got up behind Argent in the
fourth heat and woke him up, taking the heat cleverly in
2:25, but was easily beaten in the final. The judges were
P. A. Finnigan, John McCord and E. Toph^m. Timers
same as previous days.

District Trotting Race, for Three year-vlds.

First Heat. — Auction pools, Directa §25; Oakville Maid ST;

the Maid, Captor a bad last. Directa kept a length in front of
Washington all the way up the back stretch and round the
turn, the Maid closing up to within a length and a half of
WashiDgton. Directa and "Washington had a slashing race
down the straight, "Washington getting up and making a dead
heat with Directa, who left her feet fifteen yards from the wire
and ran under with the Maid. four lengths back, Keepsake
and Del Rey saviog their distance, but Captor was shut out.
The heat was given to Washington, on account of Directa

$20; Maid §10; field $7. Del Rey was very slow, delaying
the start for a long time. When they were tapped off Wash-
ington led, but breaking on the turn, let Directa in. She
went up, however, before the quarter, which the Maid passed
five lengths in front of her, the rest ail breaking two or three
lengths back. Directa closed on the Maid, being two lengths
behind at the half, and coming fast caught her round the
turn, but going up again dropped back until in the home
strelch, when she rapidly overhauled the leader, and going
on won readily by ten lengths, Keepsake fioishing second,
ten in front of Washington. Time, :3Si, 1:17J, \:bl%. 2:35±.
Mutuals paid, $10.85.

Third Heat— Auction pools: Directa $30, "Washington $9,
Field §6.

They were soon sent off, Directa going out in frunt with
"WashiDgton on her wheel. He skipped on the turn, bat did
not lose anything, and hung right at her to the three-fur-
long pole, when she slowly bat surely drew away, being
three lengths to the good at the half and five at the head of
the stretch. "Washington closed op to within three lengths
of her at the drawgate, but breaking 6fty yards from the fin-
ish, was easily beaten by Directa, who slowed up five lengths
in front. Keepsake was a bad third, and the other two dis-
tanced. Time, 0:38, 1 :15A, 1:55, 2:31 J. Mutnals paid §7.75.

Fourth Heat — Xo pooh sold.

They were sent away at the second attempt, and Directa
trotting steadily, led Washington a length round the turn,
with Keepsake jamping and running three lengths behind.
The black filly trotted on, gaining another length when the
half was reached, two in front of Washington, who gradually
closed up, being at her neck all the way round the turn, and
with both driven hard down the straight Directa was carried
off her feet fifty yards from the wire, losing by a length,
Keepsake a long way behind. Time, 0:33, 1:16$, 1:56 j, 2:33.
Mutuals paid §16.60.

Fifth Heat— After scoring five or six times, at the owner's
request. Vail wa-j substituted behind Keepsake, and the trio
were tapped off the next time. Directa broke up on the
turn and Washington weot to the front, leading three lengths
at the quarter, Keepsake four farther back, third. McDowell
gradually closed up on Washington, being a quarter of a
length behind at the half, but breaking on the turn lost two
lengths, which she at once made up, being nearly level at

the head of the stretch, bnt breaking twice in the straight
the last time, when nearly level, twenty yards from the wire,
was beaten a length by Washington, who finished very stead-
ily; Keepsake was shut out. Time, 0:39], 1:174, 1:56*.

closing up, and trotting head and head down the stretch,

ishing race dswn the stretch won by a neck, Argent third.
Time, 2:24J.

Third JJeai— Auction pools: Don Tomas ©35, Field $10.

turn, dropping back four lengths. The leaders were neck
and neck to the half, where Don Tom;is drew out a length,
but Wilkes closed up again, being on even terms at the head
of the stretch. A severe punishing race ensued. Wilkes,
catching the whip hard, was beaten a head, after a game
straggle, Argent third, having closed up a good bit in the
homestretch. Wilkes tore his boot off on the back stretch,
uut'ing his quarter badly, and was allowed to be withdrawn.
Time, 2»fi6£. Mutuals paid $6 60.

Fifth Day— Friday.

The judges of the day were Dr. Latham, E. Topham and
J. McCord, while the timers were those that had occupied
the same position en the previous day.

After the Block parade was through and luncheon over, it
was time to commence racing. There was quite an average
attendance — especially good for Friday. The first race for
district stallions, 2:40 class, brought out five starters, Guide
by Director, winning in straight beats, the first in 2:29, and
last in 2:30, putting another for Director in the 2:30 elasB.
The great black, although he only has two at present in, will,
before the season is over, have quite a number inside the
circle if they have average luck. In the second heat Ned
Locke, when in front, fell on the track, choked down. After
the heat was over he got up, and luckily, neither driver or
horse were much worse for the tumble. Marvin waB up be-
hind Daly, a son of Gen. Benton, and drove him a much
better heat than he had gone before, though he was not
quite fast enough for Guide

The 2:50 trot waB won in straight heats by Lorita, another
for Piedmont in the thirty class, and well down, too, for the
last heat was readily made without a skip or break in 2 :22£.
In the second beat she certainly did some tall running? and
Goldsmith was quite justified in complaining to the judges,
for she was not losing anything, and generally gaining. Mar-
vin handled her beautifully at least, never allowing her to
leave her feet. Mr. Dittz's Riogwood was withdrawn after
the first heat, being troubled with the same ailment that
Iongworth was earlier in the week. Two veterinaries (Drs.
Klench and Bjwhill) examined him, and in their opinion he
had been dosed with morphine. There is no clue as to who
had committed the dastardly act. The two-year-old district
trot was an easy thing for Frank B., a son of Coligny. The
special was postponed, after Patch Allen had one hoat and
Nina D. two, Lucy Abbott withdrawn lame.
2:40 Class, District Stallions.

First heat. — Auction Pools— Ned Locke, $40; Guide, $21;
field, $20. They were sent off, after scoring up a few times,
withDaly and Sur Del in front. D*ly trotting.rapidly was four
lengths in front of Sur Del at the quarter, with Guida two
lengtbB back. Sur Del broke badly dropping back while Guide
closed a little on Daly, being three lengths behind at the half
in 1:13. Daly and Guide broke on the turn, and with Daly
pulled up almost to a standstill, and Guide catching rapidly,
the race was all over, Guide leading seven lengths at the
head of the stretch, Sur Del second, half a length in front of
Locke. Sur Del broke in the stretch, and Ned Locke finish-
ed second, twoleDgthB behind Guide. Clay Duke was a moder-
ate third, the other two just saving their distance. Time
2:29.

Mutuals paid $29 65.

Second Heat. — Auction pools, Ned Locke, $S0; Guide,
$32; field, $20. The last pool sold was Locke, $50 to the
whole field $10. They weie let go at the fourth attempt,
Guide cutting out the work at a merry clip, with Locke a
length behind. The first quarter waB reeled off in 36 seconds,
and the half in 1:16, Locke being half a length behind and
Daly a length further in the rear; fifty yards further on
Locke fell on the track, choked down, leaving Daly to con-

test the heat with Guide, but he found the pace too hot, and
broke on the turn, falling to the rear, while Guide jogged
home fifteen lengths in front of Clay Duke; Sur Del was a
very bad third, and Daly ran a good bit to save his distance;
Ned Locke was distanced. Time, 2:33. Mutuala paid, $17.65.
Third Heat.— Auction pools. Guide $50; field $10. At
this point Marvin got up behind Daly, and with very little
delay they were turned Ioobb, Goide and Daly going out to-
gether round the turn, Duke breaking. At the quarter, the
time being thirty-six seconds, they were head and head, ten
lengths in front of Dnke. Guide, shortly after, broke and
dropped back before the half was reached, but settling down
trotted in good style, getting the lead again at the heaa of the
Btretch, where Daly broke and Guide came on, and although
Daly came fast he could never get up to the leader, who won
with a little in hand by two lengths. Duke, who broke in
the stretch, jumping and fighting the bit like a bull, was a
bad third. Time, 2:30. Mutuals paid, $S 20.

$24; Wanda, $20; Ringwood, $16. After scoring up about
a dozen times they received the word. Ringwood and Wanda
both broke badly before the quarter was reached. Lorita lead-
ing Wilkes a length around the turn and a length and a half
up the back stretch, passed the half in 1:1 3 J; boih broke on
the turn. Lorita, catching cleverly, was two open lengtbB in
•front when Wilkes caught. Half way down the stretch Lorita
again made a handy break, while Wilkes, who trotted well,
left her feet forty yards from the wire, and Lorita drew away,
winning by five lengths, Wanda a bad third, two lengths in
front of Ringwood. Time, 2:26i. Mutuals paid, S22.30.

Second Heat. — Auction pool^, Hazel Wilkes $30: Lorita
$25; Ringwood $16; Wanda 316. By permission of the
judges Ringwood was withdrawu, as he was a very sick horse.
The trio received the word very soon, Lorita drawing out a
length round the turn, and passed the quarter in 35 seconds,
with the other two level; at the half, in 1:11 J, Lorita was
two lengths in front of Wanda, one in advance of Wilkes;
Lorita went up before the turn, but did not Iobo by it, and

ing. When the bell tapped Patch Allen went to the front,
rounding the turn a length in front of Baywood, with Nina
three lengths behind. Patch Allen trotting steadily, increased
his lead up the backstretch, being two lengths in front of
Baywood, four clear of Nina. At the half, in 1:17, Bay wood
broke on the turn, dropping out of the heat, and Goldsmith

even terms at the half in 1:15$, Big Jim three lengths back.
Going round the upper turn there was only daylight between
Niua, Baywood and Jim, Baywood broke in the stretch, and

asking. Jim and Baywood both broke before the turn was
reached, and Patch Allen showed the way to the quarter,
with Nina three lengths behind, Baywood and Jim ten
lengths further back. Nina and Allen broke, but the mare
catching handily passed him, leading past the half in 1:141,

Mutuals paid $9 20.

It was now too late to Btart them for another heat, so the
race was postponed until the next day at 12:30.

Saturday— Last Day.

The last day of the fair was one of the most successful of
the meeting in every respect. Goldleaf, the Pleasanton crack
pacer, for a special purse.lowered her previous record of 2:15
obtained last year as a three-year-old, to 2:11J. After three
slow heats between other races, McDowell brought her out
for a reoord, and with Buster driving a runner alongside, the
daughter of Sidney and Fernleaf went out for all Bhe' was
worth. Buster was about two lengths behind. The mare went
round the turn in tbirty-one seconds, and slowing up a
trifle in the deep going, paBsed the half In 1:04, and the up-
per turn to the three-quarters in 1:38}, Andy having pulled
her back a little. But when in toe stretch he called Bustn
up with the runner, and pushed her right along, waking her
no with the whip, the last quarter being paced in 3°£
Mile 2:11}. *

This, of course, lowers the four-year-old pacing record pre-
viously held by Arrow, and considering the time of year is
somewhat phenomenal, for the track does not favor the time
atall the fourth eighth being Bomewhatslow. Mr. Salisbury the
owner, Mr. Yalensin, owner of Sidney and Andy McDowell
who handled her are all to be congratulated on the success she
achieved. The unfinished trot was easily won by Nina D.
who obtained a record of 2:26*. She was sent to breed to
Guy Wilkes by Dau De Noyelles*, and Goldsmith bandied her
to give her a record, which he has done at the first attempt.
Patch Allen was very lame.

Lillie Stanley and Dawn evoked the greatest enthusiasm
the mare winning cleverly in the first two heats, and taking
the last easily. The mutuals paid $19 on the last heat.
Evidently some one thought they knew something, and got
left. The district 2:30 class was closely contested in every
heat, Orin Hickok taking first money with Redwood, and
Guerne second wiih Alfred S. both Anteeo's the former get-
ting a record of 2:25 in he fifth heat, and the latter 2:31£ in
the first, The local trot was easily won by»Ales Button Jr.
in slow time, each of the others taking a heat. The 2:30
pacing which occurred early in the programme was fought
out by three pacer? , Cora C. being distanced in the first hea*.
Ryder won the first heat in 2:20J Button the nest in 2^0*
and the last two in 2:27 and 2:28.

Fourth Heat — Of the special race Auction pools- NinaD
$25, field $8.

Baywood was withdrawn lame. They were sent off at the
second attempt, Nina D. and Allen going out in front, butB
Nina breaking on the turn, Al'en drew away a length in front.*
increasing it to two at the quarter in 0:36; Nina settled down'
and trotting steadily passed Allen, leading two lengths at the
half in 1:13|, Allen two in front of Jim; the latter passed !
Allen on the turn and closed up on Nina, being a length
behind. At the head of the stretch Nina broke, running well
for awhile, and then catching trotted steadily; Allen broke
and fell to the rear, while Jim went very steady to within
fifty yards of the wire when he broke, running under the
wire a length in front of Nina. Nina was given the heat, and
Jim pnt back to Becond position. Time, 2:26},

Mutuals paid $7.35.

The prizes in the stock department were announced.
Messrs. G. Yalensin, E. B. Gifford and R. Murphy judged
standard tro'terB.

Among the winners were Alcona, sire of Flora Belle, Clay
Duke, etc., Grandissimo. brother to Grandee, Old Dolly Mac
Mahon, as freBh and lively as ever, with a black Director
filly at foot which should enhance the old mare's reputati n.

RoadsterB and carriage horses were judged by Messrs. A.
J. Brown, M. J. Rollins, and T. Smith. Two good looking
saddle horses were bracketed, the bay being exceptionally
good, about 15 2 hands high, good shoulders and back, in
fact a handy looking, heavy weight hack.

Draft horses, general purpose and mules were passed on by
Messrs. S. Sperry, T. C. Snider and J. Edge. The winner of
the stallion class was a nseful looking, thick set, short-legged
bay Shire horse, with good, hairy legs, and sound feet; the
rest of the entire horses were too light and shelly.

Cattle were judged by J. Hoyt Ebernethey and P. B. Gra-
ham. They were not &a a whole good, the Holstein bull
being probably the best on the ground, and he should have
been better behind. Several of the Shorthorns were too
much like the Kerry breed. The Jerseys were a very fair
sample, one of the cows in particular being good. Sheep and
pigs were judged by L. Newcnmner, Y. Brunent and J. J.
Mclntyre. Premiums were awarded as follows:

grand display of wines, fruits, etc. "When the fair closed on
Saturday evening everyone was satisfied or more than satis-
fied, for success was manifest, and success such as has hard-
ly ever been achieved in California. Napa is going in for
fairs, this being the second on the present track, which is as
good as any in the State or Slates, as the many records
beaten and made on it at this meeting show: Gold Leaf (4).

Directors, who are young and energetic, should not rest on
their oars, bat keep persevering, and peihaps next year they
may have even greater success.

The Directors, all of whom worked bard for the meeting,
were ably assisted by E. S- Culver, Secretary Blood Horse
Association, who managed the scales and books for (he Socie-
ty, officiating as clerk of the course in his inimitable manner,
while the Secretary, Mr. Conkling, seemed to be in the right
place whenever wanted, working like a Trojan.

Deer Lodge, Montana.

Bx Our Special Commissioner.

fbe Deer Lodge Fair and racing association was organized

ment for lovers of horse flesh and racing in Deer Lodge Co.
It owes its organization to such men as S. E. Larabie, John
Bielenberg, N. J. Bielenberg, Wm. B. Miller, Samuel Scott,
Jas. B. McMasters, W. N. Aylesworth, 0. D. Joslyn and

Deer Lodge is a very attractive town of about 2,000 popu-
lation. The races opened Aug. 7th, with a large and enthu-
iastic attendance. About ninety runners and trotters were
stationed at the track ready for the bell to tap, California be-
ing well represented. Among them Buch good ones as Yolo
Maid, Valentine, Jon Jon, Laura Gardner, Cyclone, Jack
Brady, Guido, Moses B., Lida Ferguson and others.

The association this year belongs to the American Trotting
Association, and is in the circuit of Montano, Idaho, Wash-
ton Territorv and Oregon. - . .

since its inception, and upon his shoulders has fnllen most
of the arduous duties incident to that office, and toe success-
ful carrying out of the projects of the association. But nobly
has he born themj he superintended the erection of all the
stables and buildings and the complete overhauling of the
track. During the races, Mr. McMaster iB always busy look-
ing after the vast machinery of a race day. He has alwayB
been ably assisted with good and faithful work from John
Bielenberg, whose heart is rapped up in the cause, and who
desires, above all, to see good, square, Honest racing on
the track. ....

This year Mr. McMaBters has an able and expert assistant

Breeding Farms of Oregon.

Written Fob the breeder and Sportsman.

It was in the broad and wild Territory of Oregon that
American horses from the States and Territories of the West—
as the nomenclature of the Beveral divisions or sections of the
United States passed current at that period— were first
brought to the Pacific Coast. California was still a province
of Mexico, inhabited by the native Indian tribes, by Mexi-
cans and those of mixed blood, and by the few prominent
families, either natives of old Spain or their descendants,
who preserved the dignity, the State, and the punctilious
pride of the proud and chivalric conquerors of the shores,
from CaBtile, from Ensenada, from fair Andalu3ie, and from
the chosen portions of the land to which is maintained the
honor and glory of the discoveries of Columbus, the primi-
tive settlement of the American continent by peoples of
the Caucasian race. Some of these had brought from Spain
the famous Barbs of high breeding and noble.forni, and there
were besides the graded stock descended from the finer
breeds which Cortez had brought to Mexico, which had, in
the course of three centuries, more and more deteriorated by
commingling with the native species — Indian ponies and

mustangs. „ ,.a •■ i - u. ■ 3

The American adventurers to California, during the period
of Mexican rule and Spanish jurisdiction, were trappers or
Bailors. 'They brought no American horses, no American
cattle. The native breeds of California, of Spanish and In-
dian stock, were better adapted to the uses of the coast, and
and were rated at comparatively little value. It was the
same with cattle, and only the wild and intractible Spanish
breed, slaughtered for their hides and tallow, roamed the
few peopled valleys and unpeopled plains. It was not until
the great emigration dating from the discovery of gold, sub-
s quent to the conquest and purchase of California, from the
States and Territories of the WeBt, mainly from Missouri
and Kentucky, from Tennessee and Illinois, from Indiana
and from Iowa, that the emigration flowed into California by
the tedious and perilous routes across the wilderness of
plaios and mountains that American horseB were introduced
into California, and, with them. American cattle.

Oregon Territorv was better favored in that early period.
As early as 1840 tbe flow of emigration from the|States and
Territories across the Continent began. It ceaselessly flowed
each succeeding year, swelling every year, by train and trail,
until tbe advent of steamships and the opening of Isthmus
routes, aDd at length the railways overland, facilitated and
accommodated the eager thousinds who were inspired by the
sentiment of the eloquent Berkeley to Beek the Btar of empire
in the farthest West, on American soil, their own by right
of discovery and earliest occupation.

These hardy and intrepid pioneerB brought with them good
and sound American horses and cattle. They were mainly
from the States of the far West of their generation, from the

rich Territories which have since been admitted to statehood,
and now comprise the great feeders of the world in staple
productB of a generous soil. From the live stock which they
brought have sprung the average good grades still found in
Oregon and the adjacent Territories curved from it, now
themselves in the process of complete and sturdy statehood
— Washington, Idaho and Montana. California received its
6rst acquisitions from the same good source.

The gold mines of California gave this favored State a fame
and an impetus beyond the fertile resources of Oregon to
attraot the guest of emigration. Oregon rested through a
decade in comparative inactivity, with slow progress and
neglected opportunities. The surpassing enterprise and
wealth of California have wrought ths marvellous advance-
ment which astonishes the World and delights every dweller
in the Slate. As a people accumulate riches they Beek luxu-
ries and cultivate superior methods in everything which adds
pleasure to mankind.

The desire for fine horses, for superior stock of all kinds
most useful in the domeatio uses, is innate in mankind, as
they progress in the more enlightened methods of life, and
are enabled to gratify their tastes for the beautiful and the
useful. The possession of the horse, the noblest of the
domestic animals, is a delight to the Buperior man. Grand
instances of this attribute and of its gratification are now to
the praise of the po°dessofs and to the renown of California.
The breeding farms of the State are tbe splendid attestation.
The names of Palo Alto, Bancho del Paso, San Mateo, Santa
Anita, Bosemead, Pleasanton and other noted breeding farms,
are added to the records of California's distinguishment in all
that is of excellence. The famed Blue Grass region of Ken-
tucky divides its laurels with these farmB of California. Turf'
performances are the proofs, and the higher breeding is the
promise of greater advancement. California is convincing
the world that she is tbe better breeder of thoroughbreds, the
superior of every land in the production of the noblest ani-
mal for every purpose.

Oregon has been less favored, and the conditions of her
people has not been to equal advancement with California.
Attempts have been mane to the purpose, and a few have
measurably succeeded. More than thirty years ago, W. C.
Myer, of Ashland, in Jackson County, embarked in tbe enter-
prise of importing horses from Europe. Turf sports were
then neither adequately encouraged nor promising of profit.
Mr. Myers accordingly directed his efforts to the breeding of
good horses for farmers and for draught uses. Speed was
not so much the consideration as strength and endurance.
He has confined his enterprise mainly to the importation
and breeding of the English Clydesdales and the French
Normans and Percherons. Of late years he has more favored
the Percherons, as the better breed for farms and for all
work. JerBey cattle is another of his favorites in that line of
stock. He has prospered, and is everywhere recognized as a
fair. Bquare, honorable dealer, whose guarantee iB beyond
question.

Robert E. Bybee, of Portland, is conspicuous as the breed-
er of thoroughbred and superior graded running horses in
Oregon. He is the son of a pioneer from Kentucky, James
Bybee, a veteran breeder and able trainer, a turfman by birth
and breeding and a careful manager. His son, Bobert, has
selected several of his fine stallions and brood mares from the
most noted farms of California. Every year at the spring and
fall meetings throughout Oregon and Washington, Mb entries
create attraction and their performances show the advantage
of blood and skilled training. His efforts and methods are in
line with true sporting.

The largest and best-equipped breeding farm in Oregon is
owned by J. V. B. DelaBhmutt, Mayor of Portland, a promi-
nent banker of that city, and one ot the wealthy citizens. He
was bred to farming and stock raising in Polk County, and
has good practical knowledge of live stock, especially of
hoises. His judgment in selection is of high order, and he
appreciates the importance of having the best that money can
purchase for his stud. His breeding farm in Washington
County, a few miles from Portland, is a magnificent tract of
nearly two thousand acres, splendidly timbered, with grand
meadow and pasture lands, and abundant flowing streams
and natural springs. His stables and paddocks are of the
latest approved models. He devoteB intelligent personal
supervision to every essential detail. He is fond of fine
horses, and careful as to their keeping. Mayor Delashumtt's
enterprise will serve as an example to other wealthy men in
Oregon in the breeding of horses. He is in the complete vig-
or of early prime, of uncommon energy, prominent in safe
mining enterprises, active in publio works, a leader in com-
munity matteis, and bears an enviable reputation in finance
and business.

A few years ago, another citizen of Portland, Mr. S. S.
Beed, one of the pioneers in Columbia river navigation, now
among*the wealthiest of the coast, and growing richer every
year by sagacious investments in the mines of Idado and
Eastern Washington, engaged in the business of live stock
breeding, on his broad estate in Washington County. He
had good success so long as he continued in it; but his
greater interests required that he should abandon his breed-
ing fame. Mayor Delashmutt has succeeded to the greater
future accomplishment.

Who is the Sire of Wanda?

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — In your issue of
August 10th, I noticed a short article on the breeding of
Wanda, who gained a record of 2:26 in a match race with
Simmocolon at the Bay District track August 5th. You stated
that Mr. Burke, her owner, has conclusive evidence she was
sired by Eros. Now I think I can produce all the evidence
necessary to prove that she was sired by Fallis, 2:23. Wanda
was bought by Mr. Burke at H. W. Scale's sale, November
17, 1886. There were only three yearlings in the catalogue:
The first was Sweetness, bay filly (now called Wanda by Mr.
Bnrke), sired by Fallis, dam Girofle by Elmo; the second
was a sorrel gelding by Elmo, dam Ida May Jr., and the
other a bay gelding by Elmo, dam Lady Oomstock. There
was only one by Eros in the catalogue, and that was a wean-
ling horse colt called Iri", dam Jennie by Elmo, so Mr. Burke
is surely mistaken when he says there was a horse colt the
age of Wanda by Fallis, or that there was a filly of any age
by Erjs. At the San Jose Fair in 1887, I met Mr. Burke,
and he remarked that he thought Fallis was going to be a
great sire, as the filly he bought at Mr. Seales sale could then
show a 2:40 gait. I was very much surprised last fall when
informed ty reliable parties, who know all about her breed-
iug, that Mr. Burke was then claiming her by Eros.

I believe in giving credit where it is due, and if Mr. Burke
can prove the catalogue and all the other evidence I have is
incorrect, Eros must be the sire, otherwise Fallis will have
the honor of being the first sou of Electioneer to produoe a
2:30 trotter.

Hoping to have the breeding of Wanda oorreotly estab-
lished, I am Respectfully,

SANTA ROSA.

By Our Special Commissioner.

Santa Eosa, August 20, 1SS9.— The Sonoma Countv Agri-
cultural Park Association's Fair opened to-day. The weather
j8 all that can be desired, and the track is fast. The attend-
ance ii not what the excellence of the programme would
warrant, but the crowds are usually poor first days. Every
stall at the track has an occupant, and they ere all race
horses. The association has no State aid, as is the case with
he other districts, and, in consequence, there are no exhibits
at the Pavilion and no stock or poultry premiums. It is
racing, pore and simple, and good racing at that. Every-
thing seen at Napa is here, and the majority of the horses
are in good condition. The trip over from Napa was made
by special train, and not a single horse was injured. There
is just Htable room enough to accommodate the crowd.

It was 2 o'clock this afternoon when Messrs. J. N. Bail-
hache, Isaac DeTurii and F. W. Loeber, who occupied the
judges' stand, rang the bell for the opening of the meeting,
and to call up the horses for the first race, a mile and repeat
ia which R. B. Cockrill's Daisy D., and. W. L Appleby's Mi-
k»do were the starters.

Hitchcock was up on Mikado with 112 pounds and Taylor
rode Daisy D., witn 110 pounds. It was a foregone conclu-
sion for Mikado, the mare seeming to be too much in flesh
to do anything, and in the pools the horse went at $30 to
$8 for the mare. In the first heat the mare went off well
and ran a neck in the lead to the half when Mikado went to
the front and won as he pleased in l:4&±. The second heat
was a repetition of the first, and Mikaoo galloped in an easy
winner in 1:484.

The 2:20 Class, Trolling.
First Ileal.— The 2:20 class trot was one of the most sensa-
tional races of the season thus far, and it required seven
hard heata to decide it. The starters were J. A. .Linscot's
ch s Jim L., J. N. Ayres'br s Bay Eose, G. A. Dougherty's
br s Vietor, and E. B. Gifford's hlk g Don Tomas. C. Rode-
riguez, Orrin Hickok, G. A. Dougherty and George Bayliss
were the respective drivers. Bay Eose Btarted a hot favorite,
bringing in the auctions $30 to $9 for Victor and $10 for the
field. The Bay Eose men were very confident. In the firBt
heat they weresent off to a rambling Btart, and Bay Eose led
the lot into the turn, but half way around he broke, and
Don Tomas and Jim L. passed up to the front, Victor trailing
behind Bay Eoee, and not apparently out for the heat. Up
the back stretch it was JimL . first, Don Tomas a length
back, Bay Eose in third place, and Victor behind him a
length. At the bait Jim L. still had his lead, Don Tomas and
Bay Eose trotting neck and neck in second place. These
positions were hardly altered uotil they got well into the
straight, then Bay Eose and Tomas made bids for the lead.
They caught Jim L. half way down from the three-quarter
post, and the three came home at a hot pace. Jim L. went
up when inside the drawgate, and Don Tomas lost his feet
at almost the same instant. Bay Eose forged ahead and
went under the wire in a jog in 2:21, Don Tomas getting
second, Jim L. third, and Victor finishing a poor fourth.

Second Heal—B&y Eose was thought to have it all his o%\n
way, and he brought $55 in the p_.os against $10 for Victor
and §9 for ihe field. In the second heat Bay Eose, Don
Tomas and Jim L. went almost together to the quarter, Victor
waiting in the rear. The backstretch did not alter their
positions very much, and the half found Bay Eose barely a
length in front, Tomas second and Jim L a short length
behind, third. They came around the tarn and into the
straight in this order. Then came a fight for the heat, end-
ing in Tomas forcing Bay Eobo and Jim L. to a break when
wuhin thirty yards from the wire, and winning the heat in
2:21, Jim L. getting second and Bay Eose third place. Vic-
tor had not yet been heard from.

Third Heat— Th&y scored eight times for the third heat,
and Doherty was fined $5 for failing to come up. When
they got off Victor left hiB feet at the word, but caught again
quickly, and they went around the lower turn with Jim L.
ficst, Tomas second, Bay Eose third and Victor a length
behind him. This waB the order at the quarter, but Bay
Rose went up to Btcoad place on the bacfcstretch, and at the
half Jim L. had a three lengths lead, with Bay Rose a length
in front of Tomas, and he two lengths to the good of Victor.
Victor took third place on the lower turn, and they got into
the straight in one, two, three order. Then for the first time
Victor made for the front, and forced the leader, Jim L., to a
hot pace, but the hayseed broke twice and failtd to get up to
Jim L.( the chestnut, with Bay Rose hanging on to his
wheel and under the whip, came in a bare winner in 2:20,
Bay Eose getting second and Victor finishing third, close up
to them. Bay Rose broke under the wire.

Fourth Heat— Pools sold before the last heat at $25 for Bay
Eose and $12 for the field, but after it the horse and field
went at about even money.

The fourth heat fell to Don Tomas. Jim L. went off in the
lead with the others bunched behind him, and he stayed in
front until well into the straight, when he broke. Don
Tomas waB at the wheel and forged ahead, taking the heat
in 2:23. Bay Rose and Victor had a close fight for second
place. Right at the wire Bay Rose broke, and Victor got it.
Jim L. finished fourth.

FtflhHiat— Bay Ecaa brought $6 to $25 for the fieldafterthe
last heat, and a lot of his friends were hedging. When they
came out Andy McDowell was behind Victor, and he was
greeted with cheerB. Don Tomas went off first, with Victor
in second place a length away, Jim L. third and Bav Eose
last. These positions were held to the middle of the back-
stretch, where Victor took the lead. He was never headed,
and won in a jog, Don Tomas a poor second, Jim L. third.
Time, 2:22.

Sixth and Seventh Heats— Thenceforth it was all Victor.
Everything else was dead tired, while he looked ready to go
all day. He was worth $40 in the pools, with Don Tomas
selling at $12 and the field $6. The sixth and seventh heals
were duplicates so far as the leader was concerned. He went
to the front at the start and held it to the finish, taking the
sixth heat in 2:24|and the seventh iu 2:25£. Hewaa roundly
cheered at the end.

The 2:30 class trot produced no surprises. It simply de-
monstrated an already apparent fact that Atto Rex i-* a good
horse. The starters in tne event were Salisbury's b m Mar-
garets., Gifford's b s Atto Rex, Ayers* br s Balkan, and
Dustin's b g 0. R. Neither Margaret S. nor Balkan were in
condition, both having tender feet, and J. R. showed up
lame in the last heat. Atto Rex was such a favorite that he
sold for $25 against $8 for the Field, and there was little
betting. The first heat was contested by J. R. and Mar-
garet S-, the latter leading to the drawgate, where Bhe quit,
and J. R. won in a jog. The three succeeding heats were
easily taken by Atto Rex, J. R, being the only one to give
him any trouble.

did the tirjmig for the day.

Wednesday, August 21.

The weather was splendid; a cool breeze tempering the
sun's rays, and rendering hpavy clothing measurably com-
fortable. The track was harder and just a bit faster than
on the opening day. The attendance was also better.

The programme opened with a three-quarter dash for two-
year-olds with Kelly and Samuels' br o Pliny, the same
owners' b f Adelaide, R. B. Cockrill's blk c Captain Al, and W.
L. Appleby's b c King David as starters. The gelding Pliny
wbs, of course, the favorite and Bold for $25 to §6 for the
field, with few short end takers. Pliny carried 107 pounds
with Ward up, King David 110 with Hitchcock up, Captain
Al 110 with Taylor up, and Adelaide was weighted at 107,
but Cook could not get lower than 111£ and she carried that
weight. R. C. Underhill gave them the flag to a good send
off, King David dashing away in front, Pliny in second place
and the other two back. Pliny got the lead at the half
post and was never headed, winning in a canter in 1:16$,
King David second, Captain Al third, with Adelaide at his
flank.

District Two-year-olds — Trotting.

First Heat — The District stakes for two-year olds was the
second event, and was quickly decided. Four young aspir-
ants— Wilfred Page's b f Leoline, driven by Hickok, Guy E.
Grosse's b s Anteeop, driven by J. Lawrence, R. Murphy's
b f Maud Dee. driven by McDowell, and W. T. Bartlett's
b c Frank B., driven by H. Giddings — came out to contest.
They were a handsome-looking quartette as they began
scoring, and the race was of much interest to the local peo-
ple. Of the original eight entries Anteeo sired three, and
two of these started, but in point of speed they were no-
where as compared with Bartlett's Frank B. by Coligny, a
far less famous sire. The colt was a hot first choice, bring-
ing $30, Maud Dee being taken as the next best thing at S8.
and Leoline and Anteeop going in the field at §9. The pub-
lic confidence in Frank B. was not misplaced. He took a
length on the upper turn, trotting smoothly and well in
hand, and held his place to the wire, finishing in a jog to
prevent the distancing of Leoline, who had made a tangled
break at the half, from which she never recovered. Maud
Dee got second place and Anteeop third. Time, 2:45£. Le-
oline was distanced.

The second heat fell to Frank B. in the same manner as the
first. Maud Dee and Anteeop had a fight all around for sec-
ond place, hot Anteeop got it, Maud losing her feet at the
head of the straight. Time, 2:46$. The second money was
divided between Anteeop and Maud Dee.

District Three-Year-Olds— Trotting.

First Heal — The District Stake, for three-year-olds, was the
nest thing, and from a racing point was a good deal more
interesting than the preceding events. A. J. Zane's g c Cap-
tor, driven by S. Sperry; E. Boyle's D c Charley Miller, driven
by the owner; L. H. Bogg's b f Keepsake, driven by J. Gray;
J. W. Martin's ch c Del Rey, driven by the owner, and F.
W. Loeber1s b f Directa, driven by McDowell, were the
starters. Electra was put in the favorite's place as soon as
the pools were opened, and sold for $25 to $7 for the field.
She weut off in the first heat with a good lead, but she was
not goiog level, and at the turn she broke. Captor was in
second place, and when they got to the quarter post he passed
her. She hung on to his wheel to the lower turn, where she
broke again, and Del Rey passed to second place. In this
order they came down the straight, Captor winning easily in
2:34, Del Rey getting second, Directa close up lor third,
Keepsake a poor fourth and Charley Miller filth, and just
inside the distance post. He made a bad break at the start,
and never recovered.

Second Heat— Directs brought $30 and the field $13 after
the heat. When they got the word for the second heat she
went off and took the lead at the quarter, Del Rey trotting at
her wheel. Up the backstretch she drew away from the
crowd and won as she pleased, Keepsake coming second, Del
Rey third, and Captor fourth. Charley Miller made another
of his breaks and was distanced. Time. 2 -.:-:, i\ .

Th'<rd Heal. — Keeps ike was :he only oue "who cduIo slay
near the favorit-, and she gave her a warm heat in the th rd,
staying ri^ht at ner heels all arauort. and teir on the wire
torn showing in front. Directa to-k the heat by a Wngth
in 2:34], Keepsake agiin gettiug stcoud, Captor a poor third,
and Del Rey a poorer fourth.

Fourth Heal. — In the fourth and laBt heat both Keepsake
and Captor tried to catch the favorite, and both came near
doing!;. At the half she was a length in front of Captor,
and he seemed to be going strong, bnt in the lower turn he
broke and was not in it any more. The favorite came in and
won handily in 2:3d1, Keepsake second six lengths back,
Captor behind and Del Rey fourth.

2:25 Class, Paciug.
"The pacers do to bet on." remarked a horseman when the
starters were rung out for the 2:25 class. He was right.
The race was the betting event of the day, and for the first
time since the meeting began Whitehead was real busy. The
bell brought out T. H. Griffin's b g Edwin C. driven "by the
owner; G. W. Woodward's br m Belle Button, driven by
Goldsmith; C. I. Haven's blk g Racquet, driven by Brun-
dow; A. Boucher's bg J. H., driven by White, and A. C.
Dietz* b s Longworth, driven by W. Johnson. As was the
case at Napa, Belle Button started favorite at $25, Racquet
gomg at $5, and the field at $6. Belle's friends backed her
heavily, and it was looked upon as a sure thing, but it was
a sure thing which didn't come off. In the hrst heat Belle
and Racquet were the only ones to make a showing. Belle
took the lead, and Racquet followed a length behind, Long-
worth leading the crowd behind. They went this way to
the three-quarters and into the straight. Half way down
the straight Bacquet attempted to collar the leader, bnt
brok", and gave second place to Longworth. Belle Button
finished five lengths in front of Longworth, second. Rac-
quet got third, Edwin C. fourth and J. H. fifth. J. H. fin-
ished in fourth place, but was set back for running. Time,
2:23£.

The second heat also fell to Belle Button. She went to the
front at the start, and was never headed. Longworth and
Racquet fought it out for second place, and Longworth got it
by two lengths, Edwin C. finishing fourth. J. H. made a
series of breaks, and was distanced. Time, 2:22.

Third Heat — At this stage it seemed such a sure thing for
Belle Batton that the pool-boxes were closed and the cl6rks
ready to go home. When the horses came out Marvin was
behind Racquet. They got to the wire and went off, with Belle
Button in front and Racquet second. At the quarter Belle
led the gelding by a length, Edwin C. third, four lengths
back. Racquet huDg on to Belle's wheel down the back-
stretch, and on the lower turn collared and passed her amid
the cheers of the crowd. Goldsmith sent the mare along for
all she was worth, bnt he couldn't catch the leader, and
Racquet took the heat in a jog in ?:23i, Belle finishiog sec-
ond five lengths back; Edwin C. got third and Longworth
fourth place. The latter made a losing break in the upper
turn which put him out of tho heat.

Third Heal — Whitehtai was just two minutes in getting
the pool-box open, and there was a rush for him. Belle
Button opened at $25 to S14 for the field, but Belle's friends
began to hedge, and in a few minutes the field was favorite at
$30 to $25 for Belle. The heat killed Belle, and the knowing
ones knew she was gone. She and Racquet went off side by
side in the next heat, Longworth close up. On the turn
Longworth went to the front.

At the qaarter it was Longworth, Belle Button and Rac-
quet a length apart. Goiug into the backstretch Racquet
passed Belle and she quit altogether. When Longworth and
Racquet got to the half, a length apart, the mare was ten
lengths behind. Racquet passed Longworth on the lower
turn, and came on home and won as he pleased in 2:22|.
Longworth was back about eight lengths, and both Edwin C.
and Belle were distanced, the.latter badly so. Belle went all
to pieces, and even Johnny Goldsmith couldn't shake her
together. She acted so strangely that many believed Bhe had
been dosed, and freely expressed their opinion.

The Fifth Heat had only Racquet and Longworth as start-
er's, and though the latter took the lead and held it half way
round the backstretch. Marvin sent Racquet along from that
point and won easily in 2:25. Racquet got first, third and
fourth money, and Longworth second.

Santa Rosa Gossip.

And now for Petaluma!

The circuit is but two weeks old, and already the cry of
"drugged horses" has been raised.

The Belle Button crowd had a hard time playing for even
when they saw the mare give up and quit.

Pliny seems to acknowledge but one superior among the
two-year-olds. That is the unbeaten Racine.

Andy McDowell has taken charge of Dietz.s two four-year-
olds, Ringwood and Longworth, :ind will handle them for the
remainder of the season

Att Taylor has been engaged to ride for the season by
Bruce Cockrell. The stable has adopted a blue jacket and
cap and white sash as its colors.

There were two starters in the 2:25 class pace bred exactly
like Yolo Maid. Alexander Button, their sire, is at the track,
and attracts considerable attention.

Loeber's filly Directa is the largest Director I have ever
seen. She has something of the old horse's gait, and pre-
Bints a hanlsome appearance, in harness or out.

Walter Maben and the Rose boys are here with the big
Aleazir yearling, a two-year-old by the same sire, and the
horse Dubec. They have no entries at the meeeting.

Doherty says he will give Viotor a record of 2:18 before the
season is over. The old horse has sired four Hllies for his
owner, two of which are out of mares by Gencr
They are said to be good-looking and speedy.

Bay Rose was not himself in the 2:20 race. He
upon as a sure thing before the race, and the tal
him heavily, but he seemed to go all to pieces in i
he it, and Hickok knew then that accident only
him the race.

Andy McDowell's popularity as a driver was evidenced the
other day when he came out behind Victor. He received an
ovation, which he acknowledged by lifting his white cap.
At the end of each heat he was cheered, and when he landed
the horse under the wire, a winner, a dozen rushed forward
to congratulate him.

Jim S follows the example set by the fast ones at Napa
and lowers his record from 2:20* to 2:20. He has a tremen-
dous flight of speed, and I doubt if there is any horse of his
class on the coast that can overhaul him on the straight if
he will only keep his feet. He needs a driver who can set
him down quickly, and then he will be a 'formidable starter
in the 2:20 races of the circuit.

Djn Tomas, the Del Sur geldiDg, has always been termed
a quitter, but I have seen Dim go in two hard seven-heat
races and be stayed game all through. In the 2:20 class
Tuesday, the company was too fast tur him, but in two hot
finishes be was put to the limit of his speed from the three-
quarters home yet he trotted like a machine under tbe whip
and with horses losing their feet all around him.

Kelly & Samuels purchased on the 15th inst., from tbe
Raocho del Paso, two yearlings. One, which they have
named Liaette, is a oheBtnut filly by Hyder Ali out of Kate
Fletcher, by Harry O'Fallon, and the other, Wildair, is a
chestnut colt by Kyrle Daly out of Lima, by Enquirer. Both
are said to be racy looking animals. They are still at the
Rancho del Pbbo.

If you want a row on your bands just say something de-
rogatory to Anteeo to a man of this district. He is the sire
above all otherB to a large number of admirers, and his get
are numerous in this county. It was a bard hit to local
pride when Frank B., by tbe comparatively unknown Colig-
ny, beat the pets so easily, and there was a let of inquiry
about the stallion. It may be stated that Coliguy hails from
Suisun, and is a full brother to Gibraltar.

Of course last week's performances of the fast ones is the
chief topic now among the horsemen. Gold Leaf is getting
a large Bhare of tbe honors for her 2:11^. I was talking with
Andy MoDowell the other night, and asked him if he thought
he could beat Ariel Lathrop's Wilkes — Lucy pacer, about
which so much his been said lately. His answer was pointed:
"I'll bet $1000 to $750, that the filly can beat him." The
admirerB of the unknown have a splendid chance to get a
Iods desired match if they atill want it now.

"Put that hayseed horse Victor in proper hands, and there
is no telling what he would do," said a horseman to me the
day the brown stallion won the 2:20 class. Victor is a good
horse, a very gocd horse, and those who go against him are
becoming more and more convinced of the fact every time he
comes out upon the track. He is a perpetaal surprise, and
aome people are looking for him to surprise somebody at
Petaluma. He will have to meet Palo Alto there, and it is
the general opinion that if he is right he will give Palo Alto
the warmest race of hiB life.

Ariel Lathrop came up Thursday to Bee the Palo Alto
yonrjg ones go, and he handed me the following telegram
from Maysville, Ky., signed by E. A. Tipion: ''Norval won
to day, Wednesday, in straight heats. Time. 2:21£." It is
not known what horses the sire of Norlainehad against him.
His performance was something of a surprise to the Palo
Alto people. Before he went wrong as a three-year-old he
showed a trial in private in 2:27, but when his hind leg gave
out Marvin never thought he would trot again. In his race
Wednesday nothing better than 25 or 26 was expeoted of
him. His performance adds another to the great Election-
eers liBt. Norval, it will be remembered, was sold, to Col.
Pepner of Lexington, last spring.

In the foarth heat of the 2:25 class pace, Edwin C. was
declared distanced. There was no judge at the distance
post, and a Urge portion of the crowd said the horse was
well inside. A considerable turmoil was raised, and a formal
protest was made against the decision, but the judges in the
stand read the National rules applying to the case and ad-
hered to their decision, saying they did so because they
thought they were right, and they would do the right thing
in spite of opposition. There was much dissatisfaction and
growling over the affair, though the majority sided with
the judges. From tbe press-Bland tbe horse seemed to be
inside the post. Griffin wanted to draw his horse before the
tirst heat on account of a slight lameness, but the judges
would not allow it.

The meeting has brought horsemen and admirers of horses
from all over the State. Besides the regular and never-fail-
ing attendants whom we never miss, there are quite a num-
ber of familiar faces. H. M. Devoy, one of the directors of
the Eureka Jockey Club, is here, and P. H. Quinn, superin,
tendent of the Eureka track, is with him. Wyman Murphy,
of Humboldt County, formerly one of the owners of Anteeo,
Ben Hill, of El Cajon, San Diego County, Charles Cockrill.
from Soledad, Billy Napier, Tony Schwere, Fred Alivso, W-
W. Mtadenhall and J. H. Neal, all of PleasantoD, J. W. Mar-
tin, of Yolo, the owner of Clay Duke, G. W. Woodard, of
Yolo, owner of Alexander Button, and K. H. Newton, of
Woodland, one of the old-time directors of the State Agricult-
ural Society, are some of the people one meets in a stroll
about the stableB.

Charles Marvin 1b one of the men about the track, who
has nothing to do but look on, and in his quiet way, pass
his comments upon the horses. He has no entries here, and
is simply taking care of Sonol, and the two-year-old Peddlar.
Sunol is not right. When sbe failed to go tbe other day at
Napa, the reason was ascribed to sex troubles, but that is
not all, and it may be, that tbe great 611y may not be seen
in a race this season. Marvin said to me, that he would not
start her until she is right, if he had to scratch her alto-
gether. It is just barely possible that she may appear at
Oakland, and if Bbe is not in shape there, she will probably
be taken home, and the entire Palo Alto stable with her.
Palo Alto is at Petaluma. He will start there. Maivin
walked him out after his race at Napa, and says he Bhows
no signs of weakness, and wfll be ready to do good work at
Petaluma

Jimmy Dustin has the longest face around the Btables just
now. He is playing in the hardest kind of luck, and out of
the trio of fast ones with whiob he Btarted from the winter
quarters at Oakland, J. R. iB the only one tit to go in a race.
Maggie E. threw out a spa-.in in one of her trials at Oakland,
and though at first sbe did not seem to bo in a bad way, she
grew worse on the trip to Napa, and was laBt week declared
unfit for racing. She was scratobed in all her engagements,
.ind haB been Bent to Santa Clara County. She will race no
.yore this year. Almont Patchen. the last of the trio, is
etinding in "his Rtable covered with hot poultices. He had a
severe wrench in the right hip, from being thrown down in

tbe car while on the way to Napa, and for a time it was
thought he would raoe no more this Beason; but he was ex-
amined Tuesday by two competent veterinarians, and they
agree that he may be able to start in ten days. Oakland will
probably see him first. The vets say his injuries do not go
further than a muscular soreness resulting from his fall in
the oar.

The woods are full of horses. In a tour of the Btables here
I find any number of likely looking animals in the bauds of
local trainers. TheBe horses are away above the average of
the country, and deserve some notice by the horse world.
Mart Rollins, one of the old timers, has eight. _ He takes es-
pecial pride in a pair of Alexander Buttons, which he drives
as a team. He also has G. * M., a full brother to Alfred G.
a promising three-year-old belonging to Guerne & Murphy,
a thTee-year-old Anteeo the property of T. X. Ludwig; Eva
G. 2, by the same sire out of a Nutwood mare, the property
of Mr. Guerne; a three-year old Anteeo filly out of a thor-
oughbred mare, the property of T, J. Ludwig; and the filly
Maud Dee by Anteeo out of a Nutwood mare, which can go in
2:40. William McGraw, the driver who brought out Lillie
Stanley, has the b h Lookout said to be by Arab, the b h
Silas Skinner by Alcona, and four Anteeo colts belonging to
I. De Turk. James LaoghliD, another one of the pioneers,
has five Aoteeos which he is handling, with a good prospect
of gettiog something fast out of the lot. John Lawrence has
the horse Ned L»3k by Antelope, by Nutwood, and a promis-
ing four-year-old filly by Anteeo, dam a Whipple's Hamble-
tonian mare, the property ot A. Seagelton. Captain Guy E.
Grosse has a fine looking Btable consisting of Anteeop. 2, by
Anteeo, dam a Hambletonian mare, Sunset, a four-year-old
bred in the same way, and a three-year-old filly with the same
percentage. Bruce Cookrill trained his string of bang tails
here. The lot consists of Mark L, 2. by Ironclad, Daisy D.
by Wheatley— Black Marie, Captain L, 2, by Kingston — Black
Maria, a yearly filly. Acclaim, by three Cheers— Rosette, the
propertv of George Kennedy, Pacheco's yearling colt Ignacio,

Thursday, August 22.

The third day of the meeting saw a still larger crowd in
attendance, and a more decided local interest in the races.
The weather was fair and very warm, and the track fast.

The opening event was a five-eighths dash, free-for-all,
with Appleby's b m Alfarata 3, ridden by Hitchcock; W. S.
Neal's b'm Daisy Neal, ridden by D. Pulver; G. Pacheco'B
ch m Julia P. A., ridden by Kenneally; and Kelly &
Samuels' b mSuBie S, ridden by Cook. In the pools Susie
S. sold for $30, Alfarata being Becond choice at §10, and the
field goiDg begging at $2. There was a long delay, but they
were finally sent away to a good start, Alfarata takiDg the
lead, closely followed by SuBie S, Julia P, and DaiBy Neal
seesawing in third place. Alfarata led to the head of the
straight, when Susie S. came up and ran neck and neck with
her to the drawgate, and then drew away half a length, and
won easily by that distance. Alfarata second, and Julia P. a
poor third. Daisy had quit at the head of the straight.
Time, 1:02.

District Two-Year-Old Trotting.

First Heat. — The two-year-old free-for-all trot had but two
starterB, Palo Alto's b c Pedlar, driven by Marvin, and B. E.
Harris' b f Lorena driven by McConnell. The Electioneer
colt was the favorite in the pools, selling at $25 against S4
for his competitor when they were sent off for the firBt heat
Lorena broke at the wire and Pedlar led around the tarn
but broke again at the quarter and was passed by the filly.
He again got the lead before reaching the half, but in the
jawer turn broke again and Lorena passed to the front odco
more. The colt could not collar her and Bhe won by Bis
lengths in 2:38. She could have made the heat much faster
but Buster held her up when he saw that he had the colt
beaten.

Second Heat. — When they were sent off in the second heat
Pedlar took the lead on the turn, but near the quarter he
broke, and the filly took a long lead. At the half she was
six leDgthB the better of time, bat the colt trotted fast in the
turn and gained considerably. In the straight Pedlar came
fast, but broke when right at Lorena*s wheel, and she won
the heat and race. Time for the last h6at, 2:33£.

Kace No. 3 was a trotfor the 2:27 class for apurse of $600.
George Bayliss named Bell B.. O. A. Hickok, Gracie S., and
Emma Temple. Temple brought ?30 against $11 for the field.
Bell B. had the pole and took the lead Gracie S. was sec-
ond till the qnarter, when she broke and Temple passed her.
At the half-mile post Bell led, with Temple lapped and Graci*
S. back in the dust. Coming down the stretch Bell held her
own in good shape and won the heat. Time, 2:28J.

Bell and Emma Temple were sent off on an even start for the
second heat. Bell opened a gap at the quarter post, with
Temple second and Gracie S. last. Coming down tbe
stretch it was hard to tell which had tbe best of the heat.
Temple broke when near the wire, and a yell went up from
the short-endeiB who had bought the field at $5 against $30
for Temple. Gracie S. also broke. They oame in the follow-
ing order: Bell G., Temple, Gracie. Time 2:28}.

Temple still remained the favorite at $25 against $10 for
the field, Temple's driver was changed for Goldsmith. Bell
led as usual at the quarter, Temple second and Gracie third.
At the half-mile post their positions remained the same, but
Temple was gaining. Temple caught Bel) at the three-quar-
ter post and took the lead down the stretob, Bell a close aeo-
ond. Bell broke several times and fell baok, Temple win-
ning the heat. Time, 2:28.

No. 4. trotting, for three-year-olds, was sandwiched be-
tween the third and fourth heats of race No. 3. Margaret
S. and Colma were the starters. Margaret won the heat.
Time, 2:25£.

Temple took the lead in the fourth heat and held it all the
way round, with Bell B. second and Gracie S. third. Time
2:28$.

Margaret S. took the second heat in the three-year old class
with ease. Time 2:25}.

Emma Temple look the lead in the fifth heat in the raoe for
the 2:27 class and held it all tbe way round. Temple took first
money. Bell B. second money and Gracie third money.
Time 2:27.

Margaret took third straight heat and won the three-year-
old raoe over Colma.

The Willows Meeting.

There is every prospect of a successful, though small,
meeting at the annual fair, the third held here. Tbe track
is very handily situated, close to the railroad, and within a
hundred yards of the town. Had it not been for conflicting
with Bedding and Grass Valley, quite a number of well-
known horses would have been here. The Directors changed
their date once to avoid the latter, but they afterwards
changed, and, of course, will spoil both meetings to a certain
extent. It is intended to form a Northern Circuit before
next year, six having already promised to go in — Chico,
Marysviile, Willows, Bed Blaff, Bedding and Grass Valley —
and they should be very successful, as they propose winding
up in time for the State Fair. A good deal of disappoint-
ment has been caused by Creole, Thapsin and Norton's not
coming, but owing to the latter, otherwise known as Jack the
Bipper, going lame at Sacramento last week, Wilbur Smith
would not come. Had he turned up, a special purse would
have been given, for he and Creole, who was taken from
Napa to Sacramento, and was ready to come.

Among tbe runners already here are Johnny Gray, Sir
Charles, Isabella, Joker (Hooker — dam by HercoleB), and
Juanita (Ironclad — Mamie). The trotters are nnmerom,
William Billups having three, a good-looking three-year-old
stallion by Tilton Almont, with a running cross. Mr. Billups
was formerly the owner of Almont Patchen and other well-
known performers. He is at present on the lookout for a
good stallion to mate with the many Tilton Almonte round
Colusa. W. W. Marshall has several entries. W. H. Mer-
rill has Belle A., who started at Napa, and several others.
J. B. Thornier, Chico, has a nice five-year-old black pacing
mare by Frank Tolman, dam by Belmont, and a number of
others are already here. The track is in very good shape,
and tbe weather not nearly as hot as usual, while the mos-
quitoB are as thick as the sure thiog — men.

TUESDAY.

Judges — J. R. Troxel, N. Brough and A. A. Jaokson,
Timers — F. G. Crawford and J. Adams. Starter — W. R
Merrill.

On the opening day there was only a slim attendance,
although it was very fair for a beginning. The programme
was correspondingly short, consisting of a six furlong and
repeat, and a district 3-minute trotting race. In the former
Johnny Gray was a hot favorite, and won as he liked. In
the trot all three were by Tilton Almont (Mr. Billup's horse).
Stranger, who is a four-year-old, showed fairly well against
his older opponents in the first heat, bat afterwards fell
back, the race being easily won by Belle A., who competed
unsuccessfully at Napa. In between heats the local I ana and
pool-sellers kept the spectators interested, tbe former partic-
ularly so; it is one of the best in the northern district, being
justly celebrated.

Six Furlongs and Repeat — Funning.

First Heat — Auction pools: Johnny Gray $10, field $6.

They were turned loose at the second attempt, with Johnny
Gray an open length in front, which he kept to the head of
the stretob, the other two running head and head. When
fairly in the straight Sir Charles and Joker were both ridden
hard, but it was no use, for Johnny Gray won by two open
lengths under a strong pull. Sir Charles beating tbe three-
year-old, who waa ratber lame, by three lengths for second
place. Time, 1:18.

Second Heat— It was now generally conceded a certainty
for Gray, only a few pools being sold at $10 Gray, to the
field $2. The flag was dropped the firBt time they came up,
Joker having a little worst of it. Gray, stalling rapidly, was
soon two lengths in front of Sir Charles, who was three dear
of Joker; the latter closed up to Sir Charles round the turn,
the pair being about two lengths behind Gray, who won in a
big gallop by that distance, Joker dropping back three lengths
behind Sir CharltB. Time, 1:17|.

were tapped off at the third attempt. Belle A., who was on
the outside, went to the front, taking the pole on the turn.
Peart broke shortly after leaving the score and dropped
back. Belle A. led Stranger two lengths all the way to the
distance port, both going very steadily up to there, but,
with Stranger breaking, Belle won easily by two lengths,
pulling up, Peart thirty yards bebind Stranger. Time, 2.36J.

Second Heat— Auction pools: Belle A. $10, Field $3.
When they received the word Belle A. set the pace, round-
ing the turn a length in front, and Peart, again breaking,
fell back six lengths behind Stranger. Peart gradually closed
the gap, being three lengths behind Stranger at the head of
the stretch, Belle A. leading easily at the drawgate. Stran-
ger broke badly, and Peart passed him, finishing three
lengths behind Belle A., and seven in front of Stranger.
Time, 2:39 J.

Thi^d Heat — No pools sold. They went away at the sec-
ond attempt, Belle A. leading Stranger a length and a half
round the turn. At the quarter pole Stranger broke badly,
dropping back fifty or sixty yards, the other two trotting
steadily. Belle A. won as she pleased by two lengths from
Peart, Stranger fifty yards back. Time, 2:42.

Timers — A. A. Jackson and W. Lambert. Starter — W.R.
Merrill.

The weather was still warm, bnt in the afternoon a cool
invigorating breeze sprung up and induced a much-larger
gathering to assemble on the course. The programme con-
sisted of a half-mile and repeat three-year-old trot, and a
three furlong repeat. The half mile resulted in a surprise,
for Johnny Gray was deemed a certainty, bat Juanita, a good
looking bay mare by Ironclad, won both heats quite cleverly.
A good deal of money ohanged bands on tbe result, over five
hundred being put up outside tbe pool-box The trot was an
eaBy thing for the mare, who won as she pleased.

Tbe three furlongs was easily won in the end by a son of
Jim Douglas, but after the first heat it looked as though

Birdie would win. Douglas juBt made a dead heat in the
second, and after running the distance, owing to not watching
the fhgs, the mare was jumped out, while the horse, who is a
big. strong customer about 16 2. came back well, romping in.

First Heat — Auction pools: Gray $10, Juanita $6, Isabella
$1. At the third attempt the flag fell to a good start, Jua-
nita on the rails and Gray on the outside drew away from
Isabella, Gray having his head in front on the turn, but Jua-
nita hugging the rails well round the turn was a trifle in front
in the stretch, and with Howson riding hard the mare won
cleverly by a length, Isabella a bad third, out-paced from the
start. Time. 0:49f.

Second Heat— Auction pools: Juanita $10, Gray $6, Isa-
bella $1. They were let go at the second attempt, Juanita
having a length the beBt of the start, and in a pretty raoe all
the way round the turn, Jaunita again keeping close to the
rails, and Gray, who ran wide, was readily beaten three-quar-
ters of a length by Juanita. I3abella just saved her distance.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphippns.

SUMMARY.

The past week^haB been a dull one in athletic oirc!«», and
there are no events of any importance to chronicle. The
athletes are Bomewhat disappointed over the fact that the
Olympic grounds will not be ready by Admission Day, hence
the opening out-door meeting must necessarily be postponed
nntil Thanksgiving Day. The young athletes of the Califor
nia Amateur Athletic Club are growing rather impatient at
the long delay of the Directors of the clnb in making prepa-
tions for the opening of the new training grounds at Harbor
View. The amateur boxers are also grumbling at the medals
offered lor competition in the coming tournament, and some
of them are of the opiniou that the C. A. C. is as well able to
offer good medals as the Olympic.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

The gymnasium of the California Athletic Club at present
reminds one of an ancient arsenal. Some of the strange ma-
chines that have lately been erected resemble battering rams
and other ancient war-enginea. A full descriptive catalogue
of these apparatuses should be supplied to the members of
the club, that they may not have to stand and gaze and won-
der what it is.

ATHLETIC EXHIBITION— A NIGHT'S FUN AT THE PACIFIC ATH-
LETIC CLUB.

The ten round contest between Charley Ell and Billy Wes-
ton did not come off, owing to tbe fact that the former had
received some slight injuries while training a week previous.
When the President of the club announced this fact the au-
dience immediately subscribed $25 for tbe disabled boxer.
An unknown young man volunteered to don the mittens
with Weston, and the couple gave a very fair exhibition,
which lasted three rounds, Weston having matters all his
own way J. McCormack of tbe Golden Ga'e Athletic Club
and W. T. Kennedy of the Pacific Athletic Club next followed
in p. three round setto. When they retired Young Soto
and Larry Hawkins, both of the G G. A. C, stepped into
the ring, and for a few minutes made things lively. They
boxed three rounds. Next came a fencing contest between
Professor Ingbram of the Pacifies and Mons. La Fleur, a
French fencing master. Both men exhibited unusual dex-
terity with tie foils. Professor Inghram, however, scored
the most points, and po was declared the winner. The last
event previous to the event of the evening was a four round
setto between "Texas" Frenchy and Neal Sullivan. The
two exchanged some very hard blows, but neither received

much punishment. The event of the evening was an eight-
round contest for a gold medal and the light-weight cham-
pionship of the club. The contestants were Joe Hesketh
and Ed. Morrissey. Both men were in splendid condition,
Hesketh weighing 128 and Morrissy 125 pounds Hesketh
was secouded bj' P. O'Connor and Tom King, while Texas
Frenchy and R. Barthrop stood behind Morrissey. Profes-
sor Taylor was chosen referee and Joe Quirk time- keeper.
The fight was to last eight rounds, but in exactly half that
number Hesketh put his opponent to sleep. It was evident
from the start that the men meant business, for they went
at it hammer and tongs, each one doing his best to knock
the other out without regard to science In the first round
the honors were about even; iu the second round Hesketh
knocked his man down several times, and in the third round
he still held the advantage. The fourth proved to be the
last round, Hesketh knocking his opponent oat with a
swinging right-hander. The next exhibition of the club will
take place September loth, on which occasion the postponed
encounter between Ell and Weston will be the event of the
evening.

LAWN TENNIS.

The tennis tournament which will take place at San Rafael
on September 7th, 8th and 9th, promises to be an exulting
one. It is expected that the leading players on the Paoific
Coast will take part. The handicapping committee will be
composed of Mountford S. Wilson, Southard Hoffman and
W. Mayo New hall. The entrance fee will be $2.50 for each
gentleman player, and, as usual, the ladies may enter free.
September 7th, at 3 P. m , will be played the preliminary
rounds for the mixed doubleB. September 8th, at 10 a m.,
preliminary ronnds for singles, to be followed by preliminary
rounds for gentleman's doubles. Play for the afternoon to
commence at 2 o'clock. September 9th (Admission Day) at
10 a. m., unfinished preliminary rounds, if any, for gentle-
man's doubles, singles and doubles in order named; and at
3 p. M., finals of each match in same order. The tourna-
ment committee will be Arthur Page, T. C. Berry, E. M.
Greenway and W, Mayo Newhall. The entries will close on
Wednesday, September 4th, at 4 p. m., and must be sent to
some member of the committee. The day will wind up with
a dance at the Hotel Sin Rafael. A late train will convey
those who wish to return to San Francisco toTiburon, where
the bo *t will be in waiting to cross tbe bay, and a Sutter-
Street car will remain at the foot of Market Street until the
arrival of the boat. Quite a number of prominent lady-
players have already announced their intention of entering
the mixed doubles. Handsome and valuable prizes will be
offered for the final winners in each of the matches.

THE WHEELMEN.

The wheelmen are anxiously awaiting the return of the
moonlight nights that they may take their accustomed night
spins to the Cliff. There is nothing bo Paradisiacal as a run
along the beach when Luna reflects her golden rays upon the
waters of the Pacific.

To-morrow several members of the San Francisco Bicycle
Club, in company with a few invited Olympians, will essay a
tramp to Mfc. Tamalpais. The tramps are to meet at the
ferry at eight o'clock, when they will take the first boat to
Sausalito. Ab some of the "soeedy" boys intend taking part
in the walk, a "hot" day's work may be anticipated.

Tbe Bay City Wheelmen will take a benefit at the Alcazar
Theater ^n the opening night of the Mc Kee Rankin Co,
which will be Monday, September 23d, when the play of "A
Runaway Wife" will be introduced to the public of San Fran-
cisco for the first time. The bonds of the club will become
due on the 1st of October, and tbe Benefit Committee have
issued a circular to all the members urging upon them the
necessity of each and every one of them helping the club out
by promoting the sale of tickets.

IN THE SURF.

The members of the Terraoe Club were out in full force last
Sunday. Spiller, Dalland Greenbaumdid the "brothers'' act
about twenty times, having been repeatedly eDCored by the
large audience present, and the trio displayed their usual
cleverness on each occasion.

On Sunday and during the early par* of the week, the surf
baths were crowded, the hot weather evidently proving too
much for the water-fearing public.

The surf-lovers continue to pour into Capitola and Santa
Cruz, and the crowds that now enjoy a daily dip at these
places are just as large as they were during the months of
June or July.

A swimming tournament under the auspices of the Terrace
Swimming Club will be held before the close of the season.

The annual amateur swimming championships of America
will take place on the Harlem River, at the Atlanta Boat
Club House, 152d Street, on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at five
o'clock P.M. The distances are 100 yds. and one|mile, and
the races are open to all amateurs belonging to any recognizul
amateur athletic, gymnastic or aquatio club Those not be-
longing to any such organization must Bend with entry prop-
er credentials as to their amateur standing. Entry fee, $2
for each event. The right to reject any entry is reserved
Gold medal to winner, silver medal to Becond, bronze medal
to third.

AT THE OARS.

Owing to the rough state of the water on Sunday last, only
a few crews mustered up courage enough t > take a spin on
tbe bay. Two of the Dolphin crews were out, and one crew
from the Ariels. The Dolphin's rough water boat was used
to great advantage, and its crew bad any amount of fun and
excitement in dodging xhe breakers that continually tried to
Bwamp them.

Farrel, of the Ariels, is on his high horse because he waa
requested to resign from Station B. Post OfBco crew. Mr.
Farrel is a profession -d and as this crew is ! composed entirely
of amateurs, we do not see why he should get so displeased
ovf-r the matter.

That famous old oarsman, W. T. Welch, is seldom seen
on the water nowadays. Five or six years ago, he waa one of
the most promising Bcullers on the Paoific Coast.

The great O'Conoor-Searle race is the chief topic In aqua-
tio circles. At preseot the betting is about even, but we are
inclined lo believe that later on odds'will be offered on the
Australian. Both men have excellent records, and both will
be in the pink of condition on September 9th, but there is
something in the appearance of Searle that inspires confi
dence. It may be, perhaps, that his English way of doing
things retrospects the past victories of his coantrymen, but
at all events if he is defeated it will only be after having
fought a stubborn battle

Tbe fall regatta of the New England Amateur Rowing As-
sociation will take place at Boston, Mass., on September
2nd.

The annual regatta of the Missouri Amateur Rowing As-
sociation will take place September loth.

MIflCKLLANECUS.

The skating mania has again broken out in the Eastern
States. We presume in its course of travel it will shortly
reach the Pacific Slope.

Madison Square Garden, New York City, is about to be
torn down and a new structure of a similar nature will be
erected on the old site.

Since the Merioo Cricket Club went out of existence crick-
et hai been entirely abandoned in this city. It is too bad
that this good old EDghsh game should be neglected so, for
the benefits to be derived from its practice are many.

The Pacific Athletic Club has selected fine training
grounds at Mr. Clipper's (b'ruitvale). and will make improve-
ments so as to allow ^he members to be in good trim for the
contests. They will be free from damp air and fogs and,
without doubt, are the best located in the State

Tbe Board of Directors has decided to have a larger gym-
nasium erected to accommodate its many members. Plans
of said gymnasium have been forwarded, and soon a fine
building, with bath, plunge, reading and billiard-rooms,
will be erected.

Vice-President R. P. Hammond ot the Olympic Club who
has for some years served the State so efficiently as Sur-
veyor General, is about to change his business relations.
On September lit he will associate himself with Messrs.
McAfee & Baldwin, leading real estate and general auction-
eers, the style of the new firm being McAfee, Baldwin &
Hammond General Hammond possesses rare business abil-
ity, unusual tact, unbounded energy, and an esprit which
contributes largely to make everything he touches more
briskly and successfully, We trust he may meet the fullest
measure of success, and anticipate nothing less for him.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The Directors of the C. A. C. and the Managers of the
Harbor Yiew Park are at logger-heads over th6 lease of tbe
training grounds out there. Up to the present about $100
has been expended on the improvements, but until tbe dis-
pute is entirely settled the C. A. C. men say that they will
not lay out another cent. From all accounts the park people
are to blame in the matter, they having gone back on their
promise.

Persons who are in the habit of passing the O. A. C. lot
on Post street often wonder when work on the building will
be commenced,

The athletic war in the Eist is at an end. Tbe public aie
pleased and the athletes Ere happv over the settlement. Why
stoaldthsy not be? From the very begm ■ ing the d ijute
was a foolish one, and had some of the athletes who original-
ly started tbe stone of contention a rolling but looked at mat-
ters in their proper light, the controversy would never have
arisen. We hope the two Pacific Coast rival Associations
will follow the example of their Eastern brethren and try and
bring about a reconciliation.

Thanks to its efficient and energetic President, Mr. C.
Giry, the Pacifio Athletic Club is in a flourishing condition.
The membership at present numbers over four hun ired, and
from present indications it will run up to a thousand before
the year is out. The Directors of the Club having come to
the conclusion that the present headquarters are entirely too
inadequate, have decided to look out for more suitable club
rooms. This new organization is composed entirely of busi-
ness young men, and no dudes or useless members of society
will be admitted to membership. The club was started for
the sole purpose of fostering pore and unadulterated athlet-
ics, and only young men who are athletically inolined are de-
sired as members. The P. A. C. will have its gymnasium,
its club rjoms, its bathrooms, and its reading-rooms in some
central part of the city, while its out-door grouods will be
situated at Fruitvale. After their day's work the young mem-
bers can improve their muscle in the gymnasium, and on
Sunday mornings a trip across the Bay to the training
grounds will do them good. Here they can practice out-door
sports on their large tract (which Mr. Clipper of Fruitvale
kindly turned over to the club for its use as long as it is in
existence). A track will be built there and other improve-
ments made, so that the athletes can pass a pleasant Sunday
morning in the midst of a verdant valley surrounded with
Nature's ornaments, far away from the pent up and noisy
city. The exhibition of the club for December will be in the
shane of an in-doijr tournament in the Mechanics' Pavilion,
when a large programme of games, open to all amateurs, will
be offered for competition. The club has no expense what-
ever attached to it, us all its instructors give their services
gratuitously, and whatever funds may accumulate will be
invest* 1 in prizes which will be competed for by the athletes.

THE OLYMPIC CLUB OUT-DOOR GROUNDS.

For some weeks past erroneous rumors have been flo ting
around in regard to the improvements already made on the lot
recently leased by the Olympic Clob for the puipose of erect-
ing out-door grounds for the use of its members. It has
been erroneouly stated that an additional force of workmen
had been engaged in order that tnewoik might be completed
by Admission Day, on which day it was the intention of tbe
club to formally open the grounds. Such, however, i6 not
the case, and that we might be able to present to naratblelic
readers an authentic account of what work has already been
done on the site, we took a trip out there last Saturday after-
noon, and made c reful memoran 'a of the progress made.

It was quite a surprise to us to see suoh little headway
made towards the completion of tbe grounds. The scene
that met our gaze was a large sand-lot, upon which were
scattered promiscuously about a dozen loads of In ruber. A
skeleton fence about thirty yards long divided the lot from
the railroad track. . The sand covering the lot varied in
depth from three to five feet. The rumor about the extra
force of workmen being employed at once recalled the story
of the three black crows (reversed.) Tbe large force had
dwindled down to three men. These men were not actually
engaged in working on the lot, but were trying to move an
old house close at hand. They were unable to afford us any
information iu regard to the work, otherwise than that they
were certain that the lot was tbe one belonging to the Olym-
pic Club.

In the first place it will require a very large force of men
to clear away the sand, and according to the lowest calcula-
tion, the removal of the sand will consume at least a month.
Then the grand stand, dressing rooms, club bouse, fences,
etc., oaunot be erected inside of another month. And last.
but by nn means least, conies tbe track. In order to build a
first class track on a sold basis another month or six weeks
will be required. Thus it will be seen that three months
must elapse before the grounds will be thoroughly finished.
It will therefore be impossible to hold the inaugnr^l crimes
before Thanksgiving Day. Tbe Club should mal
to open the grounds until they are thoroughly -
it wohld he much better to postpone the openii
til Thanksgiving Day, than to hold them a few
when the track will not be entirely settled. It & '.

chief aim of the committee in charge of the grounds to see
that the track is tit for record breaking before they turn it
over to the club aB fiuished, for the athletes are determined
to appear in tbeir best form on the opening day and it would
indeed be a pity to disappoint them. We hope the committee
in charge will hurry up the work for there is no time to be
lost, and the athletes will soon begin to grow weary of the
long and tireBome wait.

ROD.

The smelt were rnnning pretty freely last Sunday, and
many baskets were filled, some of the fishermen being com-
pelled to auit early in the day, b. cause they could not carry
the fish.

A large number of the fair Fes were noticed among the
fishers on the Oakland wharveB on Sunday, and they all
appeared to be able to hold their own as far as fishing went.
One young lady caught ninety live Bmelt and eighteen rock-
cod.

The fish bit very freely at Lime Pcinfc, and, as usual, those
caught were exceedingly large, It is a great pity that the
tides prevent so many people from going there. When the
tide begins to ran along that shore it rushes like a millrace
aDd sometimes even the most experienced oarsmen aie un-
able to move for hours.

The usual orowd visited Point Tiburon and it*s neighbour-
ing points. The largest fish over there were caught around
Kershaw's Point. Henry HoHen caught a rock-cod that
weighed seven pounds, quite a large fish for this neighbour-
hood.

Three sportsmen, lately returned from Pescadero, speak
very highly of the trout fishing in the creekB up that way.
Near the Buteno saw mills is a small lake in which large
mountain trout abound. Owing to the thickness of the
timber, this lake is very hard to reach, consequently but few
anglers are aware of its existence.

LaBt Saturday, Harvey W. Walter, the well known Court
Stenographer and a companion paid a visit to the Lime
Pjint fishing grounds, in less than two hours, succeeded in
hooking over fifty pounds of laige rock-cod.

Quite a number of amateur fishermen hired boats at the
Fishermens Wharf on Sunday last, and sailed over to Alca-
traz, where several large catches of blue cod were made.
One man caught during the day eighty-seven fish weighing
one hundred and thirty pouuds.

THE KENNEL.

ble notices of wbelps, sales, names claimed, presentalionsand deaths

Dart), August 17th, 1889.

Dr. A. C. Davenport of Stockton, sends notices of sales of
Cockers, under date of August 14th, and adds: "I have
only been out four times after doves since the season open-
ed, July 15tb, but did not find many. However, I hear that
the boys are doing better now. I saw three going out Sun-
day about noon, and heard on Monday that they killed
eleven dozeus. IE so, they had a good shoot."

The five Great Danes imported by Mr. Albert Hoeppner
passed into the heads of Mr. Perham W. Nahl, a notable ar-
tist, athlete and doe fancier, and puppies from them are
advertised for sale by Mr. Nahl in another column. The
youngsters are of good size, clean and healthy, and are offered
at a nominal price.

Mr. C. M. Mnnhall, of Cleveland, O., who recently visited
San Francisco, has just gairjed a victory in the courts of
Cleveland which entitles him to the especial regard of fan-
ciers everywhere. Mr. Munhall sued to prevent the arbit-
rary collection of a dog tax and tne peremptory shooting of
unlicensed dogs. Judge Noble granted a permanent injunc-
tion against shooting, holding that a man's dog was his
property and could not be destroyed in an arbitrary way or
without a day in court. Mr. Munhall is plucky, and we con-
gratulate him upon the stand taken and upon bis success.

The sales of pointers to Hawaiian sportsmen printed else-
where, will he noted with special interest. The buyers, the
Messrs. Wilder, are in a position to do the dogs justice, and
it), within bounds to write that they have secured grandly
p*- d animals. Roberta is a very hne, roomy, hearty bitch.
1 ,e puppy is most faahiooably bred on Held lines. The
b ?ers showed excellent judgment and knowledge of pointer
ptr'ina wh«n they selected their dogs, and we hope many
more setters and pointers of equal quality will go to the
Hawaiian Islands,

The breeding of Cail R. and Bessie, noted elsewhere, is
probably the last visit that will be made by a Leicester —
Dart. The race has been a noble one. and can be traced all
through the English setter annals of America.

Elsewhere in this issue Mr. A. B. Truman offers the services
of his champion Irish setter Mike T. at Btud. Mike gets
splendid puppies, and the opportunity is a good one for
owners of good bitches. Irish setter puppies by Mike T. and
out of peerless Lady Elcho T. are also offered. ■ While in Los
Angeles at the dog show recently, a gentleman remarked to
us that in an experience of nearly forty years with Irish
setters he had never seen the equal of Lady Elcho T. Mr.
Truman breeds first class Irish setters and pointers, and his
advertisement may be profitably consulted.

THE GUN,

Fine Work by Mr- Fay.

Some of the best trap shooting ever done was recently per-
formed by Mr. Ed. Fay, ex-president of the State Sportsman's
Association, and a leading member of the California Wing
ShootiDg Club. The work was all done with a 12 bore, 9 lb.
hammerless W. & C. Scott, built to order and full choked;
3| drams of No. 2 Eagle Duck, with 1J oz. of chilled 8's in
the right barrel and the same quantity of 7's in the left.

The scores were made at Bir.'s Point on three days, the
bird beiug freBhly caught for each shoot, and getting away
in very lively ^tyle.

All the shooting was strictly to rule as to rise, time, bounds,
scoring, etc., and the record is fully entitled to standing as
the best made on the coast.

On the first day, with a wind blowing fresh from the west,
Mr. Fay made the following score, shootiog at 37 birds, Hur-
lingham style, 30 yards rise.
l liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

101111101011111111 —34

The second score, same conditions, shooting at 36 birds,
was:

1 01110111111111111

11111111111111111 1—34

On the third occasion, shooting at 2S birds, he scored:

1 1111111011111

1111111111111 1—27

On each day all of the birds caught up, were shot off, un-
der rigid conditions, and the total of the three scores 95 out
of 101 bird is a Bplendid showiog. It stamps Mr. Fay as a
rarely good Bhot and is also convinciog proof that he is, at
last, perfectly fitted as to his gun.

With a Winchester Repeating Shot-Gun.

Monuay, Julv^ 19th. — As far as I am aware, no account has
ever been written, here, at any rate, of what a Wiochester
repeater can do in the field, says Editor Clements, of the
London Shooting Times. This being so, and my being a
progressist of the most pronounced and inquisitive type, I
am going to try one, and with that object in view, Messrs.
Kerr, of Queen Victoria street, are going to send me a tive-
shot 12-bore. I have my ammunition ready, 150 Schaltzs
cartridges loaded with respectively No. 6 and No. 7, and
with these I m3ao, on Thnrsday, to give the ducks a dust-
ing. This is the first time I have tried a repeater on birds,
and I am rather excited at the thought of its capabilities.

Will it be really useful? Shall I be able to put in a double
shot now and then? Will the mechanism work well and quick-
ly? Will the gun handle well and shoot hard?

The latter part is likely to be all right, for the firm guaran-
tees issuing none but harddriving fullchoke gunB, so the gun
ought to be all right on that score. The next thing is the
handling. Will it be clumsy or not?

On the whole I am pleasurably anticipating my experience
of next Thusday, and in imagination I picture the fun of be-
ing able to put in five consecutive barrels, if necessary.
Well, we shall see.

Wednesday. — The gun was sent to us by Messrs. Kerr,
and we looked at it and examined its mechanism, handling it
this way and that way to get used to it. The barrel is a bit
long, but the gun is Dot heavy.

Thursday. — We started by the first train for our happy
shootiog ground where we arrived as fresh as a rose at about
9 30. Began operations in a thickly reeded "fleet" against'
the sea-wall. I had sent down a retriever over night and we
aoon set to work. As he was paddling by my side and I was
up to knees in water, up got a duck with a great quack. Bang!
Down he cornea at about 40 yards range crippled. Went on
and put the dog on to him, and he swam bask with it.
Number one.

At the report, a good deal of scurrying had taken place
ahead, and in a second the water was rippled in every direc-
tion, then all was still, but an old drake flew up. Isquatted
amongst the reels, and as he flew back overhead, I let him
have a barrel, he winced, I quickly jerked the lever, which
threw the case out and placed anothei cartridge in, and by a
fluke, for it was then a desperately long shot, I brought him
to book. Number two. We then went along the "fleet,"
carefully working it, and the dog stood pointing. I put up
a flapper, which went off with a great flutter, about 2yds.
above the water. I gave him 30yds. law and floored him.
Then another one got up, and I was ready in time for him,
too. Then we got into the big reed bed and there it was
very differoult to dislodge the rascals. We, however, got two
more there.

Then I was very warm, for the day was excessively sQltry,
indeed a neighbor of mine who was shooting on the off side
of the next "fleet" was, within half an hour of his begin-
ning operations, taken very ill through the excessive heat of
the day. Well, I felt oppressed, too, there was not a breath
of wind stirringuand I was reeking with perspiration. So I
sat down, mopped my head and neck, had adrink, and when
a bit cooler I proceeded to tackling the next lot. Then I
went in, had lunch and a smoke and went to the last "fleet,"
but a man who ought to have known better, was there on
the wall firing at a gull and put up quite 40 or 50 ducks out
of the pond!

When I went up towardB this party he made himself scarce,
and when I reached the wall I saw him with two other fel-
lows in a boat about 200 yards away.

However, I found plenty of of birds, and got the biggest
bag made on that day, as far as I could learn, in that part of
Essex.

The gun worked exceedingly well. All you want is being
used to the working of it, and then good exeontion can be
done.

[As the experience of our piquant fellow editor, with the
arm mentioned, extends, we Buspeot he will reaoh the con-
clusion long Bince arrived at by this scribe, which is that the
Winchester Repeating Shot-gun is a rarely sound, well work-

ing and effective weapon. Ours has been tried exhaustively
and whether at target for pattern and penetration or on game
we do not know its equal. In praotice we use but one load
for all sorts of game, four drams of good powder and one
ounce of soft No. 7's, and with that load we have often
broken down wild geese at forty yards. A peculiarity of the
gun is that it patterns well with all sizes of shot, and "shoots
up" better than any gun we have ever owned. As to speed
of manipulation that is a matter of practice, and with well
loaded shells, such, for instance, as those prepared by the
Selby Smelting and Lead Company on the Chamborlin ma-
chine, it is no unusual thing to kill four single birds of a
bunch of sprigs. We congratulate Mr. Clements upon
his introduction to the Winchester, and may intimate that
he will find no demand upon the gun too severe. — Field Ed.]

More about Mongolian Pheasants.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Your valuable paper
reached me yesterday, and I carefully no'e letters from J. T.
Bowditch, Geo. H. Burnett and Hbnry Klippel. Now, Bince
my last letter to you I have m<ide a careful study of the
Mongolian PheasaDt, and have had the opinions and exper-
iences of our several local sportsmen. Mr. Z. Job and the
writer have spent a part of most every day since July 15th,
in the field, and we had a good opportunity to nole the habits
of this bird, and we know from what we have seen that they
are far from being a game bird. Mr. Job hnnts over a fine
Sensation pointer, and I have the pleasure of hunting over a
fine Llewellin Better "Borneo" who has in hia veins the blood
of Ripple, Nellie, old Belton, Fannie, Count Derby, Jessica,
CouDt Noble. There have been over 10,00o game birds killed
over Romeo, Cal. quail, Bob White, ruffed erooBe, woodcock,
BDipe and prairie chickens. The owner has bunted in Cali-
fornia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Kansas, Indian Ter-
ritory and Oregon, and ought to know by this time what
makes a game bird, and will any sportsman agree that a bird
is game that will skulk and then run in cover a mile unless
chased by a wild running dog and flushed hundreds of yards
away? I have seen Sport and Romeo make hundreds of
beautiful points, then road and point for several hundred
yards, when up would go a pheaBant from one to three hun-
dred yards away, and if this kind of a bird won't make a dog
unsteady what will. Then again, what sportsman wants to
run several hundred yards at the top of his speed to keep up
with a fast running dog for the sake of firing two loads at a
pheasant sixty or eighty yards away.

Theory among our sportsmen is, kill the china pheasant,
away with him and let us have our grouse, our quail and our
ruffedgrouse as^we used to have them and then when our dogs
make a point we shall have the pleasure of seeing a game
bird take wing. Now about the cook bird taking charge of
the young after hatching to let the hen lay her second Jitter,
I believe this to be all bosh, for Mr. Job and myself nave
seen hundreds of coveys with from three to twenty five in a
covey, and from the size of. chicks just hatched to almost full
grown, and not in a siogle instance have we ever seen the old
cock bird with the young, but most always the hen bird was
with them; but we have fuuud the cock bird since the season
opened iu the hills among the oaks or in thick cover and al-
ways alone. When I came to this valley I heard such a re-
port among the tanners that the cock bird raised the young,
but if such is the case I cannot find one sportsman in this
valley that ha3 seen the cock bird with the yonng. Within
the past few days I have seen several coveys of pheasants,
but a few days old and in every case the hen bird waa with
them. As to raising them by the domestic hen being a failure,
this is another mistake,as there are several fine broods in this
town hatched and raised by a common hen. Mr. F. De-
Nevin has one brood and Mr. J. Horning 'has a fine brood
nearly full grown and quite tame. Some of the farmers are
getting sick of them as they destroy lots of grain, they get on
top of a shock and scratch like a domestic hen and the ground
around will be covered with wheat. I know what that old
sportsman J. K. Orr, would say after Beeing this birds habits
"the begger, he can teach a road runner, how to get out of
a quarter section." As I said in my previous letter I should
not dare to trust a young dog on this pheasant.

I had made arrangements to train a brace of English setter
bitches for Thomas Johnson, owoer of the celebrated Man-
itoba Kennels, Winfred, Manitoba, but after seeing it would
be impossible to get good resulis with these birds, I have
decided not to have them come. My advice to those who
think of stocking with the Mongolian pheasant is to give
them the "go by" and stock with the King of game birds,
the cuoDing little Bob White, and the prairie chicken.

Brother Bportsmen isn't it a pleasure when your dog comes
to a stand to know you will have the pleasure of trying your
good aim on a true game bird. Mr. Editor I have drawn
this letter out pretty long, but I have tried to show thiB
China pheasant up whers he belongs, and you can give this
letter to the waste basket or a place on the hook.
Yours respectfully,

C. A. Loud.

Corvallis, Or. August 13th, 89,

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:-T1i6 letters regarding the
Mongolian pheasants, contained in your Aug. 10th issue of
the Breeder and Spotsman, I have read with much interest,
and bb you Beeni desirous of obtaining information from var-
ious sources I will give you my experience and views.

The Mongolian pheasant introduced into the Willamette
Valley by Hon. 0. N. Denny in 18S2, as stated in the letter
above referred to, comparatively Bpeaking, is probably, with
the exception of the wild turkey, the finest game bird in the
United States to-day.

They are large, exceedingly palatable, very prolific, gamey
and shy — and aside from the wild turkey is the only game
bird I am aware of, that after reaching maturity has no terror
for the pot-hunter — as one frequently hears that interesting
specimen exclaim after an unsatisfactory hunt, "that bird
has come to stay, you bet."

The fully matured birds weigh as high as 5 pounds each
for cocks, and '£h to 4 pounds for hens, from point of beak to
end of tail, the male bird measures from 30 to 40 inches, and
the female from 25 to 40 inches.

They range over the entire country from the bills and woods
to the open fields and swamps, eiogle and in flocks. Al-
though closely resembling the prairie chicken in habit, they
seem also to possess the shyness of tbd guinea hen, and the
courage of the black-breasted game — which latter bird the
Mongolian pheasant cock resembles in beak, eye, thigh,
breast plumage and carriage.

During the snuiiii-r and autumn weeks they are usually
found feeding in the open fields during the morning and
evening hpurs— and alonp the streams and pool covers dur-

iDg the warmer hoars of the day. Id the spring, fall and
winter months they are found everywhere, and moBt unex-
pectedly, often even among the wild ducks in wet marshes,
and in the farmers barn yards where they seldom fail to assert
their supremacy. They will not lie to the dog, but run un-
der cover, and only rise to wing when come onto suddenly,
or pressed too closely, and for want of cover— their flight is
rapid and graceful, and the bird that is iired at and not killed
it is impossible to approach again for many days, within 200
yarns.

In the early spring they pair and as soon as the warm days
begin they make their nebts in the same manner as do the
game prairie hen and quail. The setting consists of from 16
to 24 eggs. The eggs are dark grey in color, and in size are
about ljin. longest diam. to £ inches in shortest diam. The
young bird wheD hatched is therefore very small, though it
makes up in vitality what it lacks in size — as I have known
of birds living and being exceedingly lively for four days with-
out having ever tasted food or drink. After the brood is
several days old, the hen very wisely delivers them over to
the tender care of her gay cavalier, who doubtless by this
time is finding life rather monotonoos, and possibly con- j
eiders marriage a failure. She then devotes her attention
to the rearing of a second brood which in due course of time
is accomplished to her perfect satisfaction, the two broods
then range together until fully grown, often times late in the
season more small birds are hatched giving rise to the be-
lief that freauently the third brood is raised by the same
pair — be that as it may, notwithstanding the fact that many
have been shot, and many nests are yearly destroyed by far-
mers doing their spring plowing and sowing, the increase has
been simply wonderful, as the birds are now found a'l over
the entire Willamette Valley in great numbers.

It is currently reported by many, that the Mongolian
pheasant destroys the nests and kills the young of the
native game birds. ThiB is doubtless a grave mistake. In
this section the quail has been gradually disappearing for
years prior to the introduction of the pheasant.

The grouse do not nest in the open fields as heretofore
more I imagine on account of timidity than any thing else.
They still nest in the groves along the foothills, and this
spring I found a grouse sitting on a nest containing about
a dozen eggs of her own laying and 5 eggs laid by a Mon-
golian pheasant hen — which all hatched and grew to matu-
rity together. The nest was underneath a fir bush at the
edge of an opening, and instead of destroying the nest of the
grouBe, in this instance at leaBt, they Beemed extremely de-
sirous of assisting the mother grouse in the successful per-
formance of her household duties.

It is not a difficult task to raise them in yards, as many
suppose. They cannot be domesticated, however, bnt may
be crossed with ordinary fowls, though I fail to see the advan-
tage gained by such a croBs.

The first few days after being hatched, the birds mast be
fed on larve, bugs, etc., which can be obtained with a little
care and attention. After a few day's care in this manner,
they may be handled the Bame as domestic chicks. They
soon learn the call of their foster mother, and rush for food
at her call as eagerly as do ordinary chickens. I have at
present two pairs which are three-fourths grown that I have
raided from egg« this season. A neighbor also has bix others
which he rai°ed. so I speak from experience.

Although I fear you will rind this letter rather lengthy, I
cannot close without stating that those who best know are
unanimous in the opinion that their qnalityaa a table delicacy
is unsurpassed by any of our native birds, not even except-
ing the delicious "Bob White" of the eastern States, which
claim, if true, should be a sufficient recommendation.

Cobvallis, Or., August 16, '89, F. J. De Nevex. '

The Selby Smelting and Lead Company has done much to
foster interest in trap shooting by offering so many rich
trophies for competition. The company rightly stipulates
that in shooting for its prizes none but "Standard" car-
tridges shall be used. The ammunition is the very best pro-
curable, and should be universally adopted. For evenness
and power the cartridges loaded by the Chamberlin ma-
chine have no equals.

Bakersfield visitors have been plenty in San Francisco
recently. Last week, Mr. H. L, Borgwardt, Jr., and Mr. D.
A. Leonard spent three or four days adout the city, callii g
upon sportsmen friends. Thin week, Mr. C. E. Lechner has
pervaded the resorts where shooting and fishing men most
do congregate. AH of the visitors are most enjoyable, and
the general regret is, that they do not come ofteuer and stay
longer.

The McMinnville, Oregon, Telephone-Register, in answer
to our queries addr< ssed to Mr. Chas. Woods, of McMinn-
ville, about thepheaiant. Bays: "The Mongolian pheasants
were introduced here a few years ago, and if we remember
rightly three pairs of them were turned loose on the prairie
near Albany, where they multiplied and reijlonished the
earth in good style. Their fecundity, hardiness and panie-
ness are far superior to our native grouse or pheasant. Upon
their introduction into this state the legislature passed a law
protecting them from the gun and palate of the spt-rtsmen,
for a period of six years, which time will not expire for two
years yet. Therelore the remaining question can only fe
answered from heai-say. They are lively birds and a dog
mnst be quick or they will not "lie.". Tney frequent open
fields and in fact they are becoming very plentiful all over
the valley. They are said to be fine eating. There has been
some talk among the farmers of petitioning to have the pro-
tecting law repealed but it has not been done."

Messrs. Frank E. Coykendall and Joseph Delmas, promin-
ent sportsmen and trap shots of San Jose, returned a few
days ago from a rive months jaunt through England, France,
Germanv, Italy, Turkey, Russia, and nobody knows where
else While in England they examined the famous trap
grounds about London, and visited the gun manufactories of
Birmingham, having three hammerless guns built there.
In Birmingham they hunted ud Mr. John P. Clabrough, of
the firm of Clabrongb, Golcher & Co., of this city, and were
most courteously treated by him. They report John to be
in Bplendid health, full of business, and prospering, but anx-
ious nevertheless to be in California. At Monaco Messrs.
Coykendall and Delmas saw some trap shooting, and declare
it to be the hardest ground they have seen. Rarely has an
hour been so pleasantly and profitably passed aB one spent
on Tuesday last in listening to Coykendall's stories about
things as he saw them through bright, alert American eyes.

The meeting of the State Sportsman's Association beginB at
San Jose on Wednesday, October 10th, next and will con-
tinue through Thursday, Friday aud Saturday. Plenty of
good live birds will be on hand, <>nd there will also be shoot-
ing at artitical targets. The official announcements will be
seDt out on September 1st. It is probable that two matches
will be listed for each day except Wednesday. On that day
the great inter-club contest for the magnificent trophy
presented by the Selby Smsltiog and Lead Company will be
Bhot for hy teams of five men from cluba of various parts of
coast. The match will be the greatest ever shot in Califor-
nia and will attract a large attendance both of expert shots,
and of sportsmen who will enjoy apeing the representative
men of the Paoific Coast compet . The official programme
will contain a full statement of the conditions of the Selby

medal shoot. Two other medal contests will be shot off.
That for the Diamond medal of the Aescciation and that for
the Selby medal representing the championship of Central
California. San Jose is just the place for a great trap meet-
ting being fasily reached, a delighftul city and the hotel ac-
commodations being ample.

Messrs. Clabrough, Golcher & Co., at 630 Montgomery
street, have had mounted and placed on exhibition a mon-
strous eagle, which has a lit'le history. At the last field
trials Ed. Lechner winged the bird oi>e day and carried it to
town in the evening After dinner the field trialers gathered
in a room set apart for their use, and the eagle, which was
hardly injured at all, was examined. The bird was finally
presented to one of the men, who took it into the yard and
clubbed it awhile with a stick of firewood, finally reducing it
to quiescence, when it was taken back and laid upon a
bench beside Mr. Fred A. 1a.it. The talk was absorbing,
and no one noticed signs of returning animation in the
eagle until Taft jumped and remarked several remarks that
no type in this office can adequately present. The bird had
rolled over and fixed its talons in poor Taft's tender flesh.
The pair broke away at last, and Taft offered to kill the
bird artistically, using a penknife b'ade. He inserted the
blade through the eagle's ear and bored arouud in its head
for some time, finally pronouncing it dead. It was then
sacked aud shipped by W. F. & Co. to San Francisco to
a taxidermist. When the owner called at the stutters some
days afterward he was urgently advised to kill all birds
before they were shipped. The eagle had revived, and in its
struggles nad sadly ruffled its plumage. That eagle has the
distinction of being the only living creature that ever drew
blood from Fred Taft.

On Tuesday last. Deputy Fish Commissioner W. S. Kittle,
chanced to see a Wells, Fargo delivery wagon, upon which
were four deer which looked like does. He stopped the
wagon, ascertained the name of the consignee, Mr. John
Laws, on Clay St., and at once called on Mr. Laws. Wheu
the deer were delivered Mr. Laws refused to receive them,
because in his ojnnion they were does. The matter was men-
tioned to Deputy Fish Commissioner Fred. P. Callundan,
and with his usual directness that gentleman at once began
an investigation- He ascertained that the deer had been
shipped by O. R. Ohlsen from Yoncalla, Douglas Co.. Oregon.
Mr. Laws showed Mr. Callundan a press copy of hie order to
Mr. Ohlsen, in which be expressedly requested that bncks
only be Bent and that evidences of sex be not removed from
them. The law of California, prohibits transporting or hav-
ing in possession "any deer or deer skin or hide from which
evidences of sex has been removed" and the natural pre-
sumption is that such possession should be considered prima
facie evidence of guilt, but as construed in the local police
court, it is incumbent upon the prosecution to prove the
place of killing. Wells, Fargo it Co , have always been fully
in sympathy with those who tried to enforce ihe game laws
and agents of the company within the State are forbidden to
receive game out of season or of kinds, the killing of which
is prohibited. It is apparent tbat the instructions to not ex-
tend beyond the State line, which is to be deplored, for the
reason that the public carrying of does killed outside the
State through California, incites local poachers to kill in the
hope ot retching a market unmolested.

Mr. E. M. Cooper, general cuperintendeut of tl
department of Wells, Fargo it Co., when intern
the matter under discussion, intimated his desh-
the game law strictly and also of his intention to
ther transportation in California all sorts of gain' ,
ing of which is forbidden.

Agricultural District 21, haB a wide awake body of
directors and they are pushing the affairs of the asso-
ciation along with a will. Last week, R. N. Straube Esq.,
was in this city, and from him we learned that the new
grand stand is almost finished, and when so will be the
handsomest in the State. The old one was pulled down
completely and au entirely new building erected, giving
seating capacity for several thousand spectators. Frank
Baldwin, manager of the grounds, takes a pardonable
pride in them and has devoted all his time, since return-
ing from, the East in preparing them for the opening
day, Tuesday, October 1st. Although the $20,000 run-
ning race did not fill, the directors have arranged to
give $12,000 in purses and premiums. Three of the
guaranteed purses have already filled, and three stake
races have closed, the balance will close on September
21st. They are as follows:

Running— Mile dash; for all ages; $25 entrance, $10 for-
feit, $200 added. Second horse to receive $50.
Pacing Race — Purse $800; free for all.
Eyening Expositor Stakes — For two-year-olds. Running.
Five-eighths of a mile dash; $10 forfeit, $200 added; second
horse to receive $50. Winner of any race at State Fair to
carry five pounds extra, if winner at State Fair and Stockton,
seven pounds extra. Maidens allowed ten pounds. Racine
barred.
Trotting— 2:27 class. Purse $500.
Trotting— 2:25 class. Purse $300.

Running — Three-quarter mile dash; for all agfs; $25 en-
trance, $10 forfeit, $200 added ; second horse to receive $50.
Running — Three-quarter mile and repeat; for all ages; $15
entrance, $750 forfeit, $100 added; second horse to receive
$25.

The association have also put aside $1,000 for extra
racing, so there is every prospect of a successful meet"
ing. Hay and straw will be furnished free to all com"
petitors. The Directors announce that they will live up
to the American Association rules, three to enter, two
to start.

The Napa Fair.

At last the first meeting of the circuit is over and com-
parison can now be made by former years. Examina-
tion shows that this will be the great sensational year
for trotting, as already there have been any quantity to
go into the thirty list, and never before Las there been
■uch an aggragation of speed shown as that given last
week at Napa. The directors all worked like beavers to
make the annual meeting a success and too much credit
oannot be given them. There was also a very impor-
tant factor that played a prominent part in the result,
and helped the entries materially, and that was the
well known fact that the track is one of the fastest in
the State, and owners desirous of gaining records has-
tened to compete for the purses, not so much on account
of the money offered, as the fond anticipation that re-
cords might be made for their horses. There is no money
consideration that could repay the owner of Alexander
Button, if the get of his great horse, had not made two
wouderful heats, Tom Ryder 2:20£ and Belle Button
2:20. The value of Sidney is enhanced greatly by the
performance of Gold Leaf 2:115-, while Piedmont can
now be rated as one of the great sires, the speed demon-
strated by his progeny proving that he will in the course
of time rank with the best in the country; already he
has placed four in the list this year, and the end is not
yet. The sons of Electioneer are stamping their young
with the same great speed that has made the Palo Alto
premier so noted, and those who have Auteeo, Eros, Elec-
tor and Autevolo colls may well feel proud, for they are
all showing up well.

The attendance each day was very large and kept on
increasing from the first, until on Saturday thjre was
over seven thousand persons on the grounds, the grand
■tand, betting ring, and every point of vantage, being
filled by those intent on witnessing the great contests,
which were taking place every few minutes.

The ladies present were just as enthusiastic as the
male portion of the gathering, and when Mr. Salisbury's
great pacer had accomplished the feat for which she was
started, handkerchiefs, bonnets and parasols, were waved
with a will, which was in perfect keeping with the wild
cheering indulged in by those with lusty lungs who
made the hills reecho their loud hurrahs. That one scene
was a sight never to be forgotten, Messrs. Salisbury,
Valensin and McDowell being equally lionized, while
the Napa track came in for its full share of praise. Every
one was happy and the magnificent peiforuiance was the
talk of the town, nothing else being thought of.

The principal hotel proprietors agreed among them-
selves that prices should not be raised during the week,
and the association ably seconded their efforts, by an-
nouncing in the daily press that any person found charg-
ing extra rates during the meeting would be published
as extortionists, this having the effect of keeping down
imposition upon the many visitors who attended the
Fair. The proprietors of the Napa and Palace Hotels
did all in their power to accommodate their guests, and
are deserving of patronage from the travelling public.

The president, L. L. James, vice-president Loeber and
secretary Conkling, cannot be praised too highly for the
great amount of work performed by them, nor must be
forgotten the balance of the Board of Directors, who as
one gentleman expressed it, had all worked like harvest
hands, and their labor was plainly visible, for not a
thing was wanting. Especial pains had been taken with
the track, and trainers and drivers were alike loud in
laudation of its exceeding great speed. The accommo-
dation in the grand stand was hardly up to the require-
ments, but already the directors have purchased addi-
tional ground and in the new future the building will be
set back and greatly enlarged.

Extra stalls were erected, and many of them were
used, the hay and straw so liberally donated by the
board was of the best and no complaint on that score
was heard from any quarter.

The Breeder and Sportsman has confidently asserted
for several weeks that 1889 would far surpass any form-
er year in brilliancy, but we are candid enough to con-
fess that such a revelation was not looked for as that
produced at Napa. Just think of a two-year-old record
of 2:24 (Fleet), a three-year-old walk over in 2: 18
(Lillian Wilkes) and a four-year-old pacing record of
2: 111.

There is not an Eastern track on the "big circuit" that
can compare with it. Then for another comparison;
we find seventy-one heats trotted in the average time of
less than 2:28$, including the district yearling, two-year-
old, and the Soecial race in which the public wished to
see Old May Howard, who has a record of 2:24 and must
be almost twenty-four years old, although she failed to
show better than 2:50f; we include all that, and then
find that about ninety per cent of the starters came from
Bix counties iu the State. Where is there another meet-
ing in the country that can make such a showing? The
Eastern journals have made a great to-do about the
Cleveland showing, but it falls into insignificence as
compared with this. Thirteen new comers are added to
the 2:30 list and any quantity have lowered their pre-
vious records. 'We do not care to say that this will sur-
pass any other meeting in the State for we look to see
it duplicated if not beaten at Oakland or at Sacramento,
with a slight chance that Santa Rosa or Petaluma may
equal it.

Goodwin's Turf Guide.

The gentlemen who established the Turf Guide filled a
long felt want when they decided to issue it in fortnightly
numbers, and it is impossible to guess what the average
race goer would do without it, now that it has become so
very complete. There was a time waen we had to
paddle along in darkness, but since the advent of the
volumes, it is so natural to refer to them for almost auy
knowledge that is required in matters appertaining to
the turf, that it would be a hard matter to do without
them. We have received a letter from the proprietors
which it may be as well to publish in its entirety, but we
feel assured that the public will not grumble at the
increase of cost, as they receive so much benefit from the
work:

Office of the Official Turf Guide, 1
241 Broadway,
New York, August 19, 1889. )

Dear Sir: —

"L'borame propose, Dieu dispose."

The truthfulness of this adage is particularly applicable in
our present case:

Some four or tive years ago we determined, at whatever
cost, never to deviate from the price of 50 cents whioh we
then established for the semi-momhly editions of our Official
Turf Guide. As you are well aware, we have never wavered
from this figure, nor did we believe then, that circumstances
would so fashion themselves as to compel us to break this
rule. Of course we looked into the future as best we could,
and saw the possibilities and probabilities of increase in rac-
ing, but one's wildest imaginations could hardly have fore-
shadowed the mighty strides whioh this great sport of kings
has taken. In any event we did not believe its rapid growth
would be of such proportions as are now developed.

This wonderful advancement has very naturally brought
with it as far as we are concerned, much greater and heavier
labor, and of course many additional and heavy expenses.
All these we have encountered stoically and with good, but
gradually weakening, grace, until we are eventually forced to
the wall and compelled to give in to the inevitable — as you
will see by the No. 7 Guide, which we take pleasure in send-
ing you with this, it contains no less than 500 pages of closely
printed matter which we put bef-ore the public at 50 cents.
We do not believe there is another publication in the country
that can show such a parallel. Our "Annual" of 1884 was
not any larger. Before the end of the present season we
shall issue four more semi-monthly editions to each, of which
will be added from 40 to 50 pages more than toe present
number. To attempt to sell them at 50 cents and leave us a
fair margin of prolit is simply an impossibility — it cannot be
done.

We would that the public, like yourstlf, understood what
it means, the compilation and issuing of a book such as we
publish; our labor, etc, woold then not only be thoroughly
appreciated, but this lengthy explanation would be entirely
unnecessary. In any event, we believe the general public
will fully understand our position in the matter, and that the
raising the price of our Guide from 50 centB to 75 cents for
the ensniug four numbers has been thrust upon us through
force of circumstances over which,, as the saying goes, we
have no control. Very truly yours,

Goodwin Bros.

Grim's Gossip.

A gun by E. M. Reilly, London, is ofiered for Bale in the
advertising columns.

K. Porter Aihe is reputed to have won very large amounts
on his stable since going East.

Sensation, the California gelding, now on the Eastern Cir-
ouit, managed to win third ruoney at Poughkeepsie.

By telegraph we If arn that B. C. Holly has sold tho great
pacing mare Yolo Maid to Marcus Daly, of Anaconda, Mon-
tana.

Richard Ten Broeck was a cadet at West point in the same
class with Gen. Robert E. Lee. Gen. Macgrauder and Gen.
Emory, in 1829.

Henry Gore of Sierraville is training a horse called Captain
Jack, which, if all reports are true, can beat a "20" clip all
to pieces.

The Quincy Directors are still hard at work on their track
at Rockwell Park, aDd hope to have it superior to any in
the Mountain districts.

Take a careful look over the entries of the State Fair,
there have been quite a number of corrections made which
may interest you.

It is rather a remarkable thing that every one who played
the races at Napa lost, or sajs he lost. Surely some one must
have netted handsomely.

Mr. Salisbury, is authority for the statement that Direct
will trot nest year without toe weights. At present the game
little black, has four-ounce weights to oarry.

The Pleasauton folks who are interested in horse ra<"es, are
endpavoriug to arrange for several days' sport this fall, alter
the regular circuit finishes.

"When Sorrento was taken ont of the hands of Buchannan
be weighed less than 750 pounds. Tom Sottridge is the new
trainer, and he has the colt now, which weighs about 900^

D. J. McCartyhas had very bad luck with his runners this
Reason, but what he has lost on them he has more than made
np on the trotters which he took East to sell. They have
nearly all been disposed of at good prices.

The Bay District track is beiDg covered with a coating of
olay, which will improve it considerably. There is also a
rumor that Chas. Marvin will have the direction of the fall
trotting meeting.

Geo. A. Doherty of the Indian Valley Stock Farm, had at
Napa last week a very beautifnl filly named Sparkle, for
which he hopes to obtain a record before the circuit closes.
Victor looks all right, and "Hayseed" feels sure of lowering
his record. •

Harrv Agnew has finally decided to settle in California
again, and is looking around for a good breeding farm. His
long residence in Honolulu has not changed the love he has
for the old State, and his many friends will be glad to hear
that he will once more take up his residence here.

There was foaled on the ranch of M. C. Lizier, near
Marymlle, says the Appeal, on Monday last, a mule colt
which measured 3 feet 3 inches in height, 2 feet 5 incheB
around the girth, and 6 inches around the knee joint. Mr.
Lazier wants to know from mule raisers whether or not it is
a "good one."

Mr. Gifford, the owner of Atto Res, is highly indignant
that I gave our readers notice two weeks ago, to look out for
that good son of Attorney down the circuit. Now then, Mr.
Gifford, here is some news for you; in my estimation there
are two horses that will win first and second money from you
before the circuit is over.

That old and reliable driver and trainer, Jan. Dustin, haB
had unusually bad luck this season. Maggie E and Almont
Patchen are both in the veteriuary's hands for treatment,
the poor horses having been thrown down in the cars on
their w.iy to Napa. Gus Wilkes has cut his quarter badly,
but still I sincerely trust that J. R. will win him a big pot of
money, and the bay gelding is just about good enough to do
it.

The familiar face of Dr. Burwell was everywhere discern-
able on the Napa track. "Doc" is so well known from Sis-
kiyou to San Diego that it is needless to s'ate that ha is one
of Butte County's noted politicians, and he was at Napa to
look after the interests of the Reavis stable. Frank Coombs,
M. M. Estee and others of the body politic, evidently made
the Doctor's stay very pleasant, for his cherry laugh could
be heard from early morning till late at night.

Messrs. Holly, Daly & Green leave Montana after the
Butte meeting for California. They expect to start first at
Oakland They being the following: Favonia, Yolo Maid,
Mascot, St. Patrick, Melrose, Valentine, Pink, San Diego,
Frank, Senator, Fattie D , Prodigal, Kafir Lord Byron, and
a colt b}* Electioneer, dam by Geo- Wilkes; filly by Election-
dam Manette; filly by Guy Wilkes, dam a Belmont mare,
and some other youngsters, 23 in all.

The new and beantiful grounds of the New York Jockey
Club were opened to the public on Tuesday last, with a pro-
gramme rarely equalled. The first race of the day fell to R.
Porter Ashe's fleet Geraldine, a California brei, and owned
mare. She making five eigths of a mile in the hitherto un-
precedented time of one minute. The best time on record,
of which there is any authenticity, prior to this was that
made by Sam Harper, at Jerome Park, on October 2nd, of
last year, l:0OJ. Kittie Pease is also reputed to have ni*de
it iu a minute flat, at Dallas Texas, November 2nd, 1887, but
the track is a short one, and when asked to make affidavits
as to the genuiness of the record, the judges refused to do

D. M. Reavia of Chioo, had the Napa 2:50 olass purse
completely at his mercy, if ill fortune had not overtaken
the stable. HiB entry Vic. H. is by Blackbird 2:22, dam
Ellen Swigert. I saw the mare when Maguire, the trainer,
brought her down from Chico, and on her general appear-
ance, made up my mind that she would show a clean pair
of heels to any horse, mere, or gelding, that could not touch
2:20. When in her work, 1 was more than ever convinced
that her speed entitled her to the highest honors, but pneu-
monia set in, and for several days, it was problematical
whether she would survive or nut. Howev. r, owing to the
very bfst of care, the mare is now out of danger, and I hope
to see her on the track before the season closes. In the
same stable are many other good ones, and it will be sur-
prising if there are not lots of money won by them this
year.

I had to laugh at the cheek displayed by one party at
Napa, who entered a horse in a trotting race, and won sec-
ond money. When his driver went to the Btaud tor the
premium, he was informed that there was a forfeit of $50
againBt the gentleman from la^t year, and that the amount
would be deduoted from the winnings. A tempest in a tea-
pot was the result, and it finally ended with the party de-
claring that although be owned the horse, he was not inter-
eatedjin his trotting qualities, and therefore had nothing to do
with the gains accruing from the raoe. He was informed
that the society had not placed him in the forfeit list, on
account of his large wordly possessions, and on the supposi-
tion that he was perfectly responsible for sucb a small
amount, but he cooly informed the Vice President of the
association that their conditions stated that the entrance
money must accompany the nomination, and therefore, he did
not consider that he was obligated to the society. The
money was deducted, and perfectly right to.

A Vacancy in the Park Commission.

At auction, last Saturday morning, two of Modesto's
young men purchased an old horse for $13. As Boon as the
purchase was made it Btruck the young men that in the pur-
chase they had assumed the control of something hardly
worth owning, so they concluded to raffle the animal off. By
evening 25 chances, at $1 each, had been disposed of. The
winner groved to be a member of the demi monde, who also
was as anxieus to get rid of the horse as those from whom
she obtained it. She instructed the men to resell chances at
50 cent each and give the proceeds to a poor and deserving
widow. Forty-five chanceB were soon sold and the winner
Droved to be George Montgomery, Charles Hall being the
thrower of the winning dice Montgomery, to be generous,
donated the horse to Hall's boy in spite of the protests of the
parent. A compromise was finally agreed upon by Montgom-
ery purchasing a ton of hay and donating the same to Hall on
condition that he would accept the animal as a present for
his little son. To-day the horse is contentedly eating the
hay in the b3rn of its new owner. — News.

The races at the Seabright track at Long Beach were well
attended Saturday afternoon, says the Los Angeles Tribune.
There were two starterB in the free-for-all trnt, Daisy W. and
Pendennis. Daisy W . won, but it took five heats to decide the
event. At the conclusion of the fourth heat the judges sub-
stituted drivers, but this was unnecessary, ss the final heat

Jenny Lind by Ironclad.

Bloucher Boy. for bay horse colt, no white, foaled April
20, 1889, by Daly 5341, dam Jenny Lind by Ironclad. The

About five weeks ago the Breeder and Sportsman prn-
lished exclusively that within a phort time one of the Para
Commission rs would resign. We were aware of the fact at
the time, but could not publish the name of our authority;
however, now the statement comes that Gin. W. H. Di-
mond resigned two weeks ago, and that Commissioners
Hammond and Austin are looking around to select a suit-
able successor to Gen. Dimond A great deal of opposition
has been shown in the past to any improvements suggested
by friends of the people — for it must be remembered that the
people own the Park— but the old fossils have had thtir day,
and must now give way to the inevitable. A nnmber of en-
terprising citizens are endeavoring to have a meeting of
prominent business men at an early day next week to sug-
gest the name of some prominent property holder as a suit-
able candidate for the position. San Francisco has grown
to be the principal city of the Pacific Coast, with a constant-
ly increasing population, and it occupies to-day the same
position to the west that New York city does to the East.
Within the past few years the authorities of the Eastern
metropolis have discovered how lax the ancients were in not
providing breathing room tor the poor. Within a decade
the aldermen of the Empire city have had to buy immense
tracts of land and set them out at enormous cost; in addi-
tion to this they have laid out driving lanes for the use of
the middle class, who are, in the treat majority as taxpayers.
In New Tork.on any bright afternoon, the immense avenues
leading to or from Central Park can be seen thickly covered
with vehicles, all of the occupants being out to take an air-
ing and Bhow what their horses can do Among the num-
ber one can see the butcher the capitalist, the grocer, the
broker, the baker, the newpaper man, iu fact every occupa-
tion imaginable is represented, and all enjoying the exhilar-
ating sport. "Who could imagine such a conglomeration?"
says the antiquated moss-back, but still such is the case.
The Dwyer Bros , the Vanderbilts, the Thurbers or Mr.
Whylaud, a Knapp or a Work, Mr. Shults and one of the
Bonners, fill out the list to prove the statement, and we can
have the same thing here in San Francisco if the Commis-
sioners will stick to their pledges. Every man in this city
who owns a hor-e of any speed is desirou-i of taking it out
occasionally and airing it on the road. Wtth an open drive,
such as Harlem lane, the wish could be gratified, but as it is
at present thee is nowhere for the masses to drive What we
want and mean to have is the speed track, subscribed
and paid for by private donation, which, wh* n built
was allowed to go to waste owing to the negligence of the
Park officials, who have not uurned out the wishes of tL«
people. Now it is absolutely necessary that some one should
be selected that will look after the interestB of those who
have subscribed ten of thousands of dollars toward a driving
lane and at the same time look after the interest of the tax-
payer, and the gentlemen who wi'l meet next week to agitate
the question, may be depended on to name a suitable person,
one that will do justice to all concerned.

A Record Broken.

There are many who made Gold Leaf's time 2:12, and some
a little under, but not quite as low as the timers gave to the
judges, It is only due to them to say that one of their
number asked permission to go into the judges' stand, as
they wonld then be over the wire. The request was grant-
ed, and the time taken separately was, G. Valensiu 2:11 3 5,
Mr. Mrtyhow 2:1 li, and F. L. Coombs 2:11 flat. The
medium was taken, and Mr. Mayhew's time hung oat. I
saw any quantity of watches which were stopped at 2:11,
and many from that up to 2:12.

Meeting a director of the Oakland Association, the question
was asked ''What sort of a meeting will you have this year?"

"Meeting! why we will have the best meeting ever held
in the State. The entries warrant that, aod we are going to
leave no stone unturned to make it superior to the State
Fair. The (rack will be under the personal supervision of
Col. P. A. Finigan, who has been appointtd a special com-
mittee of one, to see that everything appertaining to the
course is in perfect condition. He has received Carte Blanche
to spare no expense and we are all satisfied that the work could
not have been placed in better hands. Each member of the
board has some special department to superintend, and we
feel confident that the Oakland meeting will surpass anything
ever held in the State."

The new Westchester coarse seems to have started off in a
lucky vein. On the first day of the meeting, Geraldine
ran five-eighths of a mile in the even minute, placing a mark
that is beyond doubt opposite her name. Now the telegraph
informs us that Green MorriB' great colt Tipstaff has added
fresh laurels to his masters chaplet by winning a thred-quarter
mile race in 1:12, knocking a second off the hitherto best
time on record, and beating Buchcraok sprinters as Volunteer
an3 Emotion. The name of the owner must not be con-
founded with the gentlemen who built the new track, as they
are not thesame. Tipstaff is a son of imp. Rayon d'Or, or imp
Kantaka, dam Verdict by imp Leamington. As a two-year-
old he started eleven times, only earning brackets once, and
that when he won the Sapling Stakes at Monmonth Park, on
Saturday, July 28, running away from a large field ot horses,
among whom were Sorrento, Ganymede and the far famed
Faverdale colt. Prior to laBt Monday he has started four-
teen timeB this year, winning five times, his most notable vic-
tory being on the second day of the Brooklyn meeting.when he
met and defeated Eolian, Fordham, Bell d'Or, Jay F. Dee(
Khaftan and Glory.

Two Standard
bred Colts,

BRED BY
CAL VI S H. FBEW.

AUXES FREW, a filly foaled April 1, 1888, at
San Diego. She is of a dark chestnut color, body
and legs; no white, except stripe on face. She was
16 months old Aug, 7th, and her last monthly record
of weight and height showed her to bB 55 inches
high, and to weigh 787 pounds, with a girth of G;4
inches, and 18^ inches around the forearm, bow is
that for a trotter only 16 months old ? In conforma-
tion and general proportion she is admirably built,
with wonderfully good hind quarters, wide hips,
good cannon bones, exceptionally good hoofs, and
fine fl^t knees. She is Bound all over, a rare beauty,
and the best judges predict that she will show great
speed and be the mother of many fast trotters 8be
is halter and biidle broke, and stands without tie-
ing while being groomed.

Her pedigree is extra. She was sired by Woodlake
at Paxton, Ills. He by Woodford's Mambrino. Sire's
first dam was Hager; she by Alexander's Abdallah.
Hager was the mother of the great Countersign.
Hager's dam was by Downing's Bay Messenger.
Hager's second dam was bySirArchy. Alexanders
Abdallah Bired the peerless Goldsmith Maid and
five others that made in better than 2:30 Also sired
twelve stallions that sir-d eighty-six trotters in
Letter than 2:30; also sired nineteen dams that pro-
duced twenty trotters in better than 2:30.

uay, the dam of Agnes Frew, was sired by John
Bright. He by that matchless stall. on Volunteer.
He is the sire of St. Juhen, who is Giy's half uncle.
Gay resembles him so much that strangers who were
acquainted with him at.first sight of Gay took her for
St. Julien. Volunteer, among horsemen, has a
national reputalion, so needless to follow his pedi-
gree.

Gay is a dark bright bay oolor; black mane, tail and
legs. A powerfully built animal of great force and
agility. She i ? fast, but was never tracked or trained.
Her dam was Fashion; she by a Kentucky thorough'
bred stallion. In flfiy or more races Fashion took
first prize or first money. She was a wonder. I '
owned her when I bred Gay. fashion was bred by
A. J. Iteed of Irish Grove, 111. Her dam was a high
bred Humbletonian.

These statements are not guesB s, but susceptible
of proof, and can be relied on as a verity. I will part
with her for SI, 003. It is a great bargain, a rare
opportunity.

Second.

I will stll said «AV* STALLION' COLT,

high, at 1 month 39| inches high, and weiged 108 lbs.
At 4 months old, 47 inches high, and weighed 340
pounds. Last month both colts have grown rapidly,
and they are beauties. It was sired by Alert, he by
Atherton. Alert's dam was the famous Penoda.

Gentlemen1:— We have used Ossidine for the past two years
I and consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone
and Spavins; there is nothing equals it; and for us it effected a
permanent cure where firing failed, although perfo med by one of
the most successful veterinarians on the continent. We have
recoinmendad it to others with like success, and believe it has
more merit than any blister ever used.

Very respectfully yours, S. A. BROWNE A Co., Prop's.

Owner of Eole. St Saviour, Roli«t. etc , says;

I have long used it in my stables, and find it to be all
that is claimed for it in removing callous and unnatural
bony growths, without leaving the slightest blemish.
From my experience, I most strongly recommend the
use of Ossidine, and feel that it is a necessary adjunct
to every stable. Yours respectfully.

SANTA ROSA.

By Oar Special Commissioner.

Friday, the fourth day of the meeting, found the same
small attendance which characterized the week, and though
the entries were good, the interest taken by the meagre as-
semblage was small. The day was begun with a mile dash,
Bruce OoekriH's b m Daisy D.( ridden by Narvice at 115
pounds, and W. L. Appleby's b c Wild Oats, ridden by
Hitchcock at 107 pounds, being the starters. In the over-
night betting Wild Oats was the favorite, bat at the track be-
fore the race the tip went aroand that the mare was "out for
the stuff," and after that sbe sold at about even money with
the horse. The colt was not in it. The mare got the best
of tbe send off, and went around the tarn and into the
backstretch with the colt at her flank At the half she was
half a length to the good. At the lower tarn Hitchcock
called on the colt, bat he could not respond, and though be
got the whip and steel there was no ran in him, and the
mare came on and won as she pleased in 1 :43.

sent off in a break. They got into the backstretch in this or-
der. Half way down Hazel Wilkes broke, and the heat was
fought out by Wanda and Flora Belle. Flora led easily until
just past the half, when sne broke, and Wanda went, to the
front. At the three-quarters Wanda was well away from
Flora, who was being collared by Hazel Wilkes. Both Hazel
Wilkes and Flora made a faint try at catching Wanda, but
she had too much lead, and they let her come in easy in 2:28,
Flora getting second, Hazel Wilkes close up to her for third,
and Allarita and Kingwood strong out in fourth aud fifth
place.

Second Heat— The confidence in Hazel's ability to win did
not wane, and she sold readily for $25 to S7 for Flora Belle,
$5 for the tield, and $3 for Kingwood. When the bell tapped
Wanda and the favorite went off together. Kingwood left
the wire in a gallop, and was never heard of. Flora Belle
and Allarita were respectively three and five lengths behind
the leaders when they reached the quarter. There Hazel
broke, and Wanda went away from her down tbe stretch, bat
Flora Belle trotted fast enough to come up within a leagth of
the leader at the half. Allarita pagsed Hazel, who continued
to act badly, and got established in third place. The heat
was left to Wanda and Flora Belle. Flora reached Wanda's
wheel, and stayed there until half way aroand the tarn
when sbe broke. Wanda came into the straight well away
from Flora. Hazel got dowa to business on the tarn and
came ap close to Flora, when the latter made her break.
They came down home in this order, Flora Belle trotting fast
and forcing Wanda out in 2:24, two seconds faster than her
former record. Flora got a good second. Hazel Wilkes third,
and Allarita fourth. Ringwood was distanced.

Third Heat — The field was worth as much as the favorite
before the third heat, selling at $25 to £25 for Hazel Wilkea
and $7 for Flora Belle. There vfaseome lively hedging going
on. It would have been better if the favorite's backers had
"stood pat.'' In the third, foarth and fifth heats Hazel
Wilkes was the only thing in it. Wanda waB leg weiry be-
fore she went to the bait. Flora Belle, although Buster hal
been put up behind her didn't do anything, and Allarita
wasn't out for it. Wanda took the lead on the turn and held
it to the lower taro, Hazdl Wilkes trotting at her wheel.
Then a3 they reached the head of the straight Goldsmith
sent the Wilkes mare along and passed Wanda with ease,
winning ia 2:25, Wanda second, Allarita third, and Flora
Belle fourth.

Fourth and Fifth Heats — There was some more hedging
done then. The favorite was ran up to $70, where the field

was bringing but $11, and Flora Belle but $9. Money on the
favorite was safe. She won the nest two heats as she pleased
in 2:28 and 2:304. Wanda finished fourth in the fourth and
third in the fifth. Allarita got second, and Flora third in the
foarth, and second and fourth in the fifth heats. They di-
vided third money.

sport. Ben Harris1 ch f Starlight, J. L. Wisecarver's ch c
Tamarack and E, Bayle's b c Mambrino Button started.
Tamarack took the lead at the start, and never let the others
get anywhere near him. Starlight made one or two breaks in
an attempt to catch the uolt, and then contented herself with
a poor second. Mambrino Button made a series of breaks
which put him out of it altogether. Time, 3:384.

Saturday, Aug. 25.

Saturday, August 25, closed the meeting, and as the direc-
tors look out over the empty seats of the grand stand and the
few rigs which stood along down the quarter stretch, they
realized that in point of attendance the meeting has been a
failure, and some saw in the events of Saturday the closing
existence of an association which coald not live with the
fearful odds which the city of Santa Kosa opposed to it.

One ranning and two trotting races nude up the pro-
gramme. The interest in the two trotting events was lively,
for the reason that the entries were local horses, each with
his local following.

I. DeTark, J. N. Bailhache and A. P. Waugh were in the
judges' stand.

Funning Face— Nine-Sixteenths and Repeat,

First Heat. — W. L. Appleby's b m Alfarata, with Hitchcock
up, Kelly Jc Samuels' b m Susie S., ridden by Cook, and G.
Pacheco's ch m Jolia P., ridden by Narvice, started in a
nine-sixteenths and repeat. According to the talent there
was but one thing in it, Susie S. They bought her in the
auctions at $25, the other two starters going in the field at
$11 and $13, with the backers not very anxious even at these
odds. For ouce the talent were right. The bay mare had
no work to do. When the flag went down Julia P. was left at
the post. Alfarata jumped off a half length in front of the
favorite, and held the place to half way around the turn,
when she commenced to quit and got the whip. Sasie S.
came on under a pall, and got into tbe straight a
length to the good and stayed there, finishing an easy winner
in a gallop.

Second heat. — No more pools were sold. Susie S. had the
race barring accidents. There were n) accidents. Alfarata
agiin went off in the lead in the second heat, and Hitchcock
began pushing her right from the start, but there was no ran
iu her, and Susie S. laid alongside until time to make her
ruD, and than she cantered in a length in the lead. Time
for the beats, 56 and 55|.

District Trotting — 2/30 Class.
First Heat — District trotting for tbe 2:30 class was the
next thing oo, with E. P. Heald's b m Nona Y., G. E.
Goerne's b s Alfred G., T. Whit ton's b g Lookout, and H. \V.
Crabby b m Flora B. aB startsrs. Chas. Marvin, Jas. Dnatin,
W. McGraw and H. B. Starr piloted the lot. Alfred G. thu
Anteso stallioo, was fancied as the winner, and with right
good judgment, as he went out and won in straight heats.
Auction pools sold, Alfred G. 530. the field of Nona Y. and
Flora B. $11, and Lookout $S. When they got the bell after
scoring three times, Lookont and Nona Y. showed in front
oo the turn, Alfred Y. close up to them, Flora B. with him.
Nona Y, broke just before they reached the quarter, and Al-

fred G. and Flora passed to the front and went into the back-
stretch together, Lookout a length behind and Nono Y. be-
hind him a length. From there home the fight for the heat
was between Alfred G. and Flora. They passed the hall
with Alfred G. slightly in front, bat as they swung into the
tarn, Lookout came up and carried Alfred Y. away to tbe
outside of the track, and before Dustin could Bwing into the
pole again. Flora had gone away a length in front of him,
and Lookout was at his wheel. They trotted steadily at a
good clip into the straight, and then Dustin called on his
stallion. The horse responded with a burst of speed which
took him to the front at the drawgate, and he came under the
wire a good length ahead of Flora B., and four lengths from
Lookout. Nona Y. made a series of breaks which cost her
everything. Time. 2:27}.

Second Heat. — After "the heat the pools sold about tbe
same as before, Flora B. in the field bringing a dollar or two
more. The second heat was a race. Alfred G. and Flora
trotted together in front and Look Oat and Nona Y. as a team
a length in the rear. Nona repeated her running tactics
whenever the pace grew warm for her. They went in the
order named until they swung into the lower turn, when
Alfred G. led by a length and the other three buuched be-
hind him. The pace was fast, and for the first time Alfred G.
left his feet, and for the first time Nona Y., with Look Out at
her wheel, showed in front. Dustin got his horse down
quickly and sent him along at a fast dip to regain his lost
groond. When they swung into the straight he was in front
of Look Out, aud at Nona's wheel. A hundred yardB further
and he was on even terms with the mare. Under the pres-
sure even Marvin couldn't hold the mare down, and she
broke. Alfred G. went on and took the heat in 2:234, Nona
Y. finishing second. Look Out, four lengths back, third, and
Flora B. fonrth. Nona Y. was setback for running, and
Look Oat was given second place, she taking third.

Third Heat. — The third heat was another fast one, Alfred
G. leading all the way, Nona G. tried to stay with him, bat
broke continually, and when they came down the straight
Alfred G. had the heat and race won. He finished five lengths
in front of Nona Y. in 2:24£. Look Oat got third place and
Flora B. finished fourth.

District Stallions— 2:40 Class.

First Heat — Of the five entries in the District Stallion Race,
2:40 class, four started. They were L. H. Bogg's blk s Sar
Del, driven by J. Gray; Murphy & Sanborn's ch s Ned Lock,
driven by Goldsmith; J. W. Martin's b s Clay Duke, driven
by owner; A. T. Hatch's b s Guide, driven by J. Sutherland,
and the Rosedale Farm's b s Daly, driven by Chas. Marvin.
Ned Lock had the strongest kind ot following in the pool-
boxes, and sold like iced drinks at a picnic, bringing §40 in
pools where Guide, a strong Eecond choice, brought $35 and
the field §15.

The first heat was a dead heat between Ned Lock and
Guide. When the bell tap sounded Guide went off in the
lead, with Ned Lock second, Sar Del third, and the others
buuched behind, and these positions were unaltered until
they got into tbe straight, then Guide lost his feet, as he had
done twice on the backstretch, and Ned Lock came up with
him. The two came home at a rattling pace, Guide slightly
in front. The last fifty yards saw Ned Lock crawling up
inch by inch, but be started too late, and as they passed
under the wire Guide had a short head the lead. Daly was
three leDgths behind them, Sar Del one behind him, and
Clay Dake, who had made no showing in the heat, a length
in the rear of Snr Del. Although Guide was first under the
wire, his ranning was against him, and the judges announced
a dead heat, placing the others as tbev finished. Time for
the beat, 2:294.

Second Heat — Daly made a good showing for the first half
of the second heat, and for a time looked a winner, but as a
breaker he made a glaring success, and Marvin couldn't bold
him to his gait. He trotted fast enough to have wod, but
invariably went off bis feet at the most critical times. Daly
led Ned Lock a length to the head of the straight. Guide
trotting along in a good third place. When Goldsmith shook
Ned Lock up >mi began his play for tbe lead, Daly went up
and gave it to him. Daly was no more in it. Gaide broke in
an attempt to catch the leader and lost second place Ned
Lock trotted squarely to the wire aud won

Third and Fourth Heats — In the third and fourth heats
there was nothing in it escept Ned Lock. Dustin was put
up behind Guide in the third, and succeeded in leading the
crowd from the start to the straight, but Ned Lock started
for the front at the proper time, and forced Guide off his
feet, winning with ease in 2:2S£, Guide second, Daly third,
Sur Del fourth and Clay Duke fifth. Ned Lock lead all the
way in the fourth heat, and won in the same easy style.
Daly finished second, Guide third, Sur Del fourth and Clay
Duke Gfth. Time, 2:28J. First money went to Ned Lock,

Thus was completed the Santa Rosa meeting, or, more
properly speaking the Sonoma County Agricultural Park As-
sociations Annua.1 Fair. The races were in the main good,
and the Directors did everything in their power to give satis-
faction to owners and the public. There was but one un-
pleasant feature during the week, and that was an occurrence
of so trivial a nature as not to deserve more then the passing
mention which was given in last week's gossip from the
track.

The Anaconda Races.

Anaconda, Aug. 12th, 1889.

This Association was organized in 1S86, and well it merits
the unprecedented success that has attended it, in itB initial
meetings. Horsemen and all lovers uf the turf are loud in
their praises of the officers. The Association owes its being
to such lovers of horse flesh as Marcus Daly, Morgan Evans,
J. B. Losee, W. M. Thornton, D. G. Brownwell, J. K. Mal-
lory, H. S. Neal, W. C. Haynes, Geo. Kendall, W. L. Hoge
and others. They have a most worthy and enthusiastic pres.
ident in the person of Mr. Marcus Daly. It is to be lamented
that there are not more Marcus Dalys. Their Secretary, Mr.
W. M. Thornton, is the right man in the proper place, and is
much appreciated for the energy and skill with which he
accomplishes his manifold duties, keeping all the mechanism
of racing moving in harmony.

The Anaconda race course is located about two miles from
town, and may safely be called the finest in the West. The
track is about eighty feet wide, and kept in perfect order, no
expense being spared in the labor. The large and roomy
grand stand is all that could be desired in neatness and is
easy of access. Adjoining the grand stand are commodious
and well adapted quarters for the pool sellers. The fences,
railings, stands and all buildings are decorated with white
and blue trimmings, giving an effective tone to the ensemble
of the gronndB, showing the interest and care taken by the
Association and its most worthy Secretary, Mr. W. M. Thorn-
ton. The long rows of box stalls are well blled, there being
about one hundred and fifty head of bang tails and trotters
domiciled for the meeting.

Anaconda, as yon are aware, is in the heart of the mining
region. The smelters, one of which is the largest in the
world, with their huge smoke stacks puffing day and night,
helped, with the forest fires now raging around us, to obscure
the sun's rays the entire week, Old Sol himself looking like
a hoge ball of fire through the dense cloud. Our view of the
races was somewhat impeded thereby, and red eyes were
worn by many. Notwithstanding this small obstacle, taken
all together, it has been a gala week of good sport long to be
remembered by the large and eager crowd that packed about
the pool boxes, and also filled the grand stand.

ning, going the first quarter in 25£ seconds, the others about
three lengths behind running head and head. The half was
run in 0:50£, positions about the same. After passing the

Fetaluma Gossip.

A. L. Hinds is here "with Balkan and Alpheus, and he is
very much down-cast over his brown stulliou. Balkan has a
leg, and his racing days are over. After the Petaluma meet-
ing he will be sent to Oakland where he will be put into the
stud. Alpheus has not been in condition yet, but is slowly
improving and will start at this meeting. Mr. Hinds will
make the circuit with the one entry.

The heaviest betting of the week was upon the 2:20 class,
Palo Alto, of course, having the call. I 6aw one pool sold in
which Palo Alto brought §200, all the others summing up
only $40, and that was an overnight pool, too.

You should have heard the Anteeo yell when the little filly
Maud Dee won the two-year-old district purse over the Colig-
ny colt in Btraight heats. The men were jubilant, and they
surrounded Mart Rollins when he dismounted from the
sulky and passed their congratulations up3n him. There
was nothing on the grounds too good for him. Mart came
down from Santa Rosa especially to drive the filly, and while
talking to him just before the race he had no idea of winning
The Coligny colt out classed them all in point of speed, and
the only thing he could do was to try and beat the others
for second or third money. His success startled him. The
Coligny colt was not himself. He had not been given any
work after his raoe at Santa Rosa, and was in no sort of
condition for another go. Still, insiders thought he Bhould
win and backed him liberally.

A rumor gained ciiculation that Marvin was instructed by
Palo Alto to send the horse Palo Alto for a record in the 2:20
race. I asked Marvin about it, and received a denial.
"The only instructions I have," he said, "are to win the
race, and that is what I will try to do. He won't trot in
better than 2:18 unles3 they force nmi to do it. They didn't
force him."

L. J. Bose has been an interested spectator all the week.
He came up to see his big Alcazar yearling go to beat Nor-
laine's 2:31 J. I asked him what he thought of Stamboul's
chances of trotting this season in 2:12. He would give no
opinion, but said simply, "I hope he will."

Dawn failed to clip anything from that 2:191, but Ibelieve
he could have done so if he had had a good day. He was
not moving very steadily when they gave him the word. I
understand that, weather and track permitting, he will be
sent again Saturday. He showed no signs of lameness after
his mile.

The Petaluma track is a good track for records. It is fast
enough to suit anybody, but it has been fearfully hard this
week. It was frequently sprinkled, but the sun and wind
quickly took the moisture out, and the harrowed ground
packed again in a short time.

Franklin made his initial appearance in the 2:20 class trot
of Wednesday, and made a good showing for himself, al-
though out of condition When he went into the race he
had a blister sore on his left shoulder the size of a ham, and
jt takes a dead game horse to go a hard race with such a
thing as that galling him at every stride.

Belle Button's Napa race seems to have taken everything
out of her. She went all to pieces at Santa Rosa, and m the
2:25 class here she was nowhere. She is, in condition, the
fastest thing in her class.

Ben Harris has a right good little filly in Lorena. She
is speedy and steady, and goes two heats well, but she has
the common failing, she quits.

In the last heat of the 2:20 class the starting judge made a
bad break in the sendoif. He had previously given out that
he would start the horses by the word and call back by the
bell. It was not a good start, anyway, and when Hickok,
behind Bay Rose, heard the tap he drew up, and did not
realize his mistake until too late, thereby getting distanced
and losing second money, which he had already secured by
his second heat.

Longworth has the honor of going the fastest beat, 2:19£,
yet made by the paceis in the 2:25 class. The horse made a
very creditable performance iu the race* He is the third of
Sidney'B get to eo ioside 2:20. Valensin smiled and Dietz
smiled when the first heat was won, and wheu the race was
over they smiled together with a green seal bottle between
them. Dietz was the prouder man of the two. Johnson
drove the horse well.

The black pacing filly Princess Alice by Dexter Prince,
out of a Chieftain mare, will be heard from some day. She
is a trifle light and under size for her age, but she stays
well and has a good flight of Bpeed. In the hauds of a com-
petent trainer and driver she would show something fast
this season. Osear, the man who drove her Wednesday,
never drove in a race before, and naturally did not handle
her well. He made two or three grievous errors in general-
ship, which lost him every advantage the filly got by her
speed. I would suggest to her owner that he put her in
more expert hands, and then he may not be surprised to
take first money in the 2:25 class before the circuit ends.

Almont Patchen is still in the hands of the vets and is
slowly improving. He was jogged easily on Wednesday,
but he is very sore, and Jimmy Dub tin tells me that he will
not be fit for a race for Borne time yet. It is almost certain
that he will not go at Oakland.

Hickok is playing in hard luck this fall. Not one good
thing has fallen to him yet.

A number of the horses were walked down from Santa
Rosa, and they arrived iu better condition than those that
were shipped.

The special trains to and from San FranciscG were the
means of largely increasing the attendance.

The betting during the week has not been as it might
have been, considering the events. More money went into
the box in the 2:20 class race than upon any other, and yet
that was considered a Bure thing.

Toward the Golden Gate, (Fair) the star of the horse em-
pire now takes its way.

Wilfred Page has resigned from the directorate of the asso-
ciation on account of the difficulty he had recently with
Cap Harris, Harris was suspended for a year.

Lillian Wilkes' 2:17^ is a record for her, and also the three-
year-old record in a race, barring Axtell'a 2:14, when he was
accompanied by a runner from the head of the straight.

The runners are sadly missed this week. It ie true that
California is a trotting horse country, so far as its people's
fancy goes, but they like to see the bang tails out now and
then. It gives Bnap to the races, and the ladies particularly
like to see a race which is decided in a dash or two beats.
There are too many technical points about a three-in-
five trot to suit them.

One can judge of the anxiety to see Sunol in a race fiom
the fast that after it was announced from the judges stand
VVeenesday that she would go on the following day, it was the
sole thing talked of by the horsemen, and orderB were im-
mediately given to the track men to have the course in the
best of condition,

Andy McDowell gave Direct a mile the other day in 2:24,
going the last quarter in 32 seconds, some watches making
it 31*. "He can go in 2:12," said Andy McDowell after the
mile. "Will he be sent for a record this season?" I asked,
"Only in a race," he answered. "We don't want any tin
cup record for him, but he can go in 2:12, and you can say so
in the Breeder."

Jimmy Dustin got up behind Fleet Wednesday morning
and drove her two mileB in 2:26i and 2:25$ without a skip.

Among the horsemen and other prominent people seen
during tbe week were R. T. Carroll, Ariel Lathrop, Billy

In the report of Friday's races I shall probably have the
opportunity of telling the result of a match between Direct
and Victor, another between Gold Leaf and Adonis, and of
an attempt, perhaps, the success of, Rose'3 Alcazar yearling
at beating Norlaine's 2:31i. All theFe are on the tapis now:
Longworth, 2: 19f, Lorena 2:30, Pedlar 2:27jj, Hazel Wilkes
2:22j, Lorita 2:23, Flora Bell 2:24. Four heats in the 2:50
clasB in 2:23£, 2:23, 2:22£ and 2:23 are not bad.

The well-known horseman, T. E. Moore, of "The Cedars,"
Shawhan, Ky., has had very bad luck this year. First, the
the great stallion Victor Von Bismarck became paralyzed,
and tben fire caused a loss of $50,000. The lollowing item
from the Stock Farm shows that there is still good blood at
The Cedars, and we trust it will not be long before Mr.
Moore will be surrounded by the best that Kentucky can
produce: "A grandly bred colt is Bannermark 9421. -He is a
bay, foaled May 6, 18S8, by Victor Von Bismarck; 1st dam
Moonlight by Alcyone, 2:27 (sire of Alcryon, 2:17$-, etc.);
2nd dam Twilight (dam of Skylight Pilot, 2:19); 3rd dam
by Pilot Jr. (sire of the dam of Maud S., 2:08^); 4th dam
thoroughbred. This colt is fine and speedy, and at the pro-
per age will head The Cedars* stud. He probably combines
more of tbe popular lines of breeding than any colt of his
age — four double crosses: Double Humbletonian, and double
Clay through Bismarck and Geo. Wilkes; double Mambrino
through Mambrino Pilot and Mambrino Patchen; and double
Pilot through Mambrino Pilot and Pilot Jr. Bannermark is
Moonlight's second foal. Her first foal was Bismarok Pilot,
lost by fire. This colt, Capt. Moore thinks, would have
beaten 2:30 thiB year, in his two-year-old form, had he lived.
Bannermark also combines the great brood mares Twilight
(dam of Skylight, 2:19); Hattie Wood (dam of Gazelle, 2:21);
Juliet (dam of Mambrino Pilot 2:27A); Alma Mater (dam of
Alcyone, 2:27, Alcantara, 2:23. etc.) These are lines of
breeding that will suit all thosd who fancy the Hambletonian,
Clay, Mambrino and Pilot Jr. combination. From his
breeding, he should excel on the track and in the slnd he re-
nowned ancestors. He will, we understand, be given records
from his colthood up to five years old, and will be permitted
to serve some mares in his two-year-old form. We wish him
the success his breeding ^eeuiB to warrant, and true! he will
give The Cedars still wider fame."

The attendance was a great improvement on the orevious
days, a fair programme fceing well run throogh on time. The
pacing race had two starters, the mare Lady Tolmau being
made favorite, and had it not been for her breaking Beveral
times would have won. The winner, John L., is said to be
by Juanita, the sire of Almont Patchen, In the mile run-
ning, which was tlie heaviest betting race of the meeting,
the "talent all went wrong, as Johnuy Gray won easy. The
last race was really a gift lor Lalmout if he bad kept his
feet, as he could trot all round Stranger.

After coming up twice, they were let go with Lady Tol-
man going best, and at once taking the lead she was two

Timers — A. A. Jackson and Captain Ash. Starter — W. B.
Merrill.

The attendance was about as good as on the previous day,
and with a better programme a good day's sport was wit-
nessed. The first race, the mile and a furlong, was an upset
for the sharps, who played Isabella to a man. She never
could carry Gray fast enough, and he only raced the last
quarter, Howson making a very close finish. In the buggy
race Mr. Crawford's old gray, who is a general utility horse,
locally known as the swill-horse, passed away from the two
trotters as he liked, driven by his owner. In the half-mile
and repeat Isabella was again pulled out and made a hot fa-
vorite, winning pretty cleverly. Mr. Mooney's mare, who
was put in over night, was fresh np from grass, and was
distanced in the first heat, but seemed to have a nice taking
action, and Bhould, from her breeding and shape, make a use-
ful broodmare.

Running Race.

Auction pools: Gray $10, Sir Charles $8, Isabella $2.
They were started at the second attempt. Johnny Gray,
having a length the be3t of it, made the pace all the way,
leading a length and a half past the stand, and two lengths
up the back stretch the other pair level. They drew up to
Gray at the head of the stretch, and after a pretty finish Gray
won cleverly by a head from Isabella, Sir Charles a length
back, third. Time, 2:16.

Saturday.

The meeting wound up successfully to-day, the asso-
ciation fortunately getting out without losing money, and
when one considers that Redding, Santa Rosa and Glen
Brook were all on at the same time and that the association
gets nothing from the State, the directors are to be con-
gratulated on the result. Better racing would have been
witnessed had Creole, Thapsinand others who were expected,
turned up. Miller came up on Thursday, expecting to drive
the former, but the gelding was not on hand.

The secretary, W. V. Freeman, worked hard for the fair,
devoting his time entirely to it, and he was ably assisted by

B. G. Mooney, who carefully attended to the scales and acted
as clerk of the course. The town turned out every day, men,
women aod children, but it was rather too early for the farm-
ers, most of whom were still busy haudling grain. But sev-
eral well known faces from neighboring towns were present.
J. King, from Woodland, brought up rive or six head of run-
ners, among them several by Jim Douglas, and Juanita, a
speedy mare, who should take a lot of beating in the north-
ern circuit.

Saturday's programme started with the equestrienne tour-
nament which was begun ou the previous day. Miss Steph-
ens on Friday, fell off after her horse had run away for a
quarter of a mile. To-day she turned out on another horse
being no worse for the accident. After the usual exercises,
the prizes were awarded as follows: Miss Jarvis, first,
$10; MisBNora Marshall, second, §7 50; Miss Bertha Todd,
third $5; Miss Mona Lowe, fourth, S5; Miss Maggie Steph-
ens, fifth, 85.

Miss Jarvie on receiving first prize, at once fell off, but
fortunately was not injured. By the way, Spanish bits are
not usually used in a lady's hack.

Messrs. Billups, Ash and Albery jadged the tournament.
The two races were not very Bharply contested, as Rosa M.
had a good bit Id hand and beat Mr. Crawford's pacer jaBt
when she was asked, while Belle A. had an easier thine with
Bird. The other contest, nearest to four minutes, was inter-
esting from the fact that four of the contestants were within
a second of four minutes, one hitting it exactly. It had
rather a suggestive look, though, and seems highly improb-
able that no one had helpers. Mr. Bressler, 4:00, took first,

C. H. Glenn, 3:59|, second, M. Thrower, 4.:0£, third, F. Mul-
ler, 3:59, fourth.

Special Race.

First Heat— Auction pools: Rosa M. ©10, Dick $4, Lady
M. S2. They went off at the second attempt. Dick, pacing
well, took the pole from Rosa on the first turn, and was four
lengths in front at the quarter, Lady M. three lengths further
in the rear. Rosa broke, losing a couple more lengths, but
settling down, trotted steadily to the head of the stretch,
when she rapidly overhauled the pacer, and, carrying him off
his feet at the drawgate, won easily by three lengths, Lady
M. four lengths back, third. Time, 2:42.

Second Heal — No pools sold. Dick, as before, started out
fast, taking the pole on the first turn, where Lady M. broke.
Rosa was two lengths behind Dick all the way to the home-
stretch, when she closed up and looked a winner all over,
when she went up thirty yards from the wire, Dick winning
bv half a length. Time, 2:42*

"Third Heat— Auction pools: Rosa M. $10. Dick $3. "When
sent off Lady M. broke badly and fell back as usual. Dick
led all round the turn and up the backstretch, with Rosa
close up. The mare left her feet at the half-mile post, but
caught handily, and was on equal terms at the head of the
stretch. Both made a good drive down the straight, the
mare breaking just before the wire, lost the heat by a neck.
Time, 2:39 J.

Fourth Heat — Dick and Lady M. led round the turn and to
the quarter, Rosa two lengths behind. Lady M. broke and
took last position, while Rosa gradually closed on the pacer,
and catching him at the six-furlong pole, he broke badly,
Rosa winniDg in a jog. Time, 2A3i.

Fifth Heat— The trio were level to the turn when Rosa
broke, losiug three lengths, but settling down gradually
closed np on Dick, getting to his head at the npper turn, and
with Dick breaking badly, won easily by forty yards. Time,
2:41£.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphippug.

SUMMARY.

The regular monthly exhibition of tbe California Athletics
Club was the principal sporting event of the week.

Several important items relating to athletics in general will
be found below.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS,. ETC.

McKinnon, of the P. A. C, promises to do well in the ham-
mer and shot-putting events on Thanksgiving Day.

A member of the Y. M. C. A. recently cleared 5 ft. 6 in. in
the running high jump. He should enter the nest out-door
meeting.

Schifferstein, Purcell and Coffin will not take part in the
next games. Their absence will be sadly felt, and the U. A.
C. boys will have things their own way. All three athletes,
however, will represent their club at the championship meet-
ing next year.

Handicapper George W. Jordan says that he will be very
cautions in handicapping the next games. He intends limit-
ing the starts in the long distance races, so that the scratch-
men may have some chance of winning. Mr. Jordan in of
the opinion that if a man cannot win with the start allowed
him, he has no business sending in his name as a competitor.
Any member of the Golden Gate Athletic Club winning a
first prize at the 0. A. U. games on Thanksgiving Day will re-
ceive a special medal from his club.

Two of the best athletes in the C. A. A, C. aBsert that if
their club does not hold its initial games before Thanksgiv-
ing Day they will enter the games of the 0. A. C, even at the
risk of being expelled from their clnb.

C. C, Johnson, of the P. A. C, will probably be placed at
scratch in the running high jump at the O. A. C. meeting.

George W. Hupers, of the Atheneum Athletic Clnb, may
enter for tbe half-mile run. Mr. Hupers has already covered
the distance in 2 min. 10 sec, and withproper training should
come near coast record.

Walter A. Scott, of the O. A. O, will make on effort to
again lower the mile record on Thanksgiving Day.

R. C. Hunter, the well known walker, has retired from the
cinder path, and is now living in tbe East. His absence
from the Pacific Coast is to be regretted, as a good many of
his friends here are of the opinion that he is capable of beat-
ing the ex-English champion Jarvis at any distance.

The Pacific Coast one mile walking record of 7 minutes
10 and one-half seconds, held by C. B. Hill, of the Merion
Cricket Club, is no longer recognized by the O. A. C. "We
never haard of tbe record being disputed previous to the
arrival of James Jarvis, the English walker, and it seems
strange that after allowing the record for nearly five years
the O. A. C. should now turn round and acknowledge that it
made a mistake in accepting the record at all. It is claimed
that the time made by Jarvis at the last championship meet-
ing is the fastest time ever made on the Pacific Coast, and an
effort will be made to have his record of 7 minutes, 11 and
one-half seconds accepted as the legitimate one. It is a well-
known fact that Jarvis is capable of walking a mile under 7
minutes, and it would reflect more credit on the O. A. C. if it
waited until it3 new champion proved his ability to beat 7
minutes, 10 and one-half seconds before disputing the record
it has upheld for so long a time.

The athletes who train at the Bay District track declare
that the water-cart man is a bigger nuisance than the dogs.
His appearance at the close of day is almost as certain as the
setting of the sun.

Two of the most prominant sporting papers in the East
will not accept the half-mile record made some weeks ago by
W. C. Dohm, of the N. Y. A. C. Tbe editors of the journals
referred to claim that the record was not made legitimately.
Dohm is a young man, and should experience no trouble in
repeating his performance at an early date, when the proper
officials will be present to take the correct time.

Rumor has it that a team of athletes from the East will ar-
rive in this city in time to take part in the November games
of the O. A. C. We hope tbe rumor is false. Tbe local ath-
letes will not feel like entering a race for which some of the
American champions are entered, and in consequence the
number of competitors will be limited to one or two.

A race of 100 yards, for the Bradley medals, took place on
the lawn in front of the Coleman House, Asbury Park, N. J ,
August 12th, and as some of the fastest amateur athletes in
the country were among the entries, there was a goodly
crowd present. W. C. Dohm was at scratch, and he gave
J. C. White three yards and his other opponents four yards
start. The result was in favor of White by five feet, hiB
time being 10 3-5 seconds.

The Australian amateur runner Thomas, who is the cham-
pion at from four to ten miles in the colonies, is on his way
to the United States, and according to a cablegram from Syd-
ney, -will take part in the champion games of the Amateur
Athletic Union and the Canadian Association.

John A. McPherson, the professional Bhot putter intends
to retire from the field at the close of the present season.

A number of representatives of other clubs participated in
tbe annual games of the Prospect Harriers, held at the
Brooklyn Baseball Grounds on Saturday afternoon, Ang. 17th,
and nearly one thousand persons witnessed the competitions,
which throughout were interesting. A summary follows:

One hundred yards run — Won by A. F. Copland, Manhat-
tan Athletic Club, 1£ yds., in 10,} s.; F, Babcock, New York
Athletic Club, 4£ yds., second.

Manhattan-Athletio Club, 25 yds., first, in 51 4-5s.; F. J.
Leonard, Staten Island Athletic Club, 20 yds., second.

Four hundred and forty yards' novice race — F. Bray,
Brighton Athletic Club, first, in 56 l-5s.; A. A. McAusland,
Prospect HarrierB, second.

Two mile bicycle race — F. B. Hess, New Jersey Athletic
Club, 35 yds.; first, in 6m. 14 3-5 r.; S. B. Bowman, same
club, 60 yds., second.

One mile run— Won by A. B. George, Mannattan Athletic
Olub, 30 yds., in 4m. 31s.; W. F. Thompson, Staten Island
Athletic Club, 76 yds., second.

Two hundred and twenty yards race— T. T. Smart, Man-
hattan Athletic Club, 15 yds., first; E. C. Bowman, American
Athletic Club, 12 yds., second. Time, 22 2-5.

One and one half mile run (club) — Won by J. S. H. Mc-
Gregor, 10 yds., in 7 m. 45 3-5 s.; G. T. Stag, 55 yds. second.

Eight hundred and eighty yards run — J. C. Devereux,
Manhattan Athletic Clnb, 12 yds., first, in 1 m. 59 3-5 s; J.
Kumpf, Soottish-American Athletic Club, 35 yds., second.

I'riangular race— J. H. Mellor, Prospect HarrierB, to ride
four miles; W. W. Kuhlke to run three miles, and C. E.
Nicolls to walk two miles, was won by Kuhlke, riding over
alone.

During the afternoon G. M. L. Sachs presented the Pros-
pect Harriers with the cross country championship colors
won in the recent competition.

G. M. Sachs, of the M. A. C, of New York, recently gave
to the Blackheath Harriers, London, Eog., a beautiful and
costly medal as a prize to that member who should make the
highest score at open amatei:r meetings during the season.
This medal was taken to England by C. H. Mapes, of Colum-
bia College, and awarded to H. C. Seard.

THE WHEELMEN.

H. A. Matthews intends taking a trip to Paso Robles some
time next month. The distance from this city by road is 216
miles, and Mr. Matthews expects to cover the distance in less
than three days.

S. B. Morse and S. Bush, of the S. F. B. C, rode up to
Camp Taylor on Sunday last. They enjoyed the journey
immensely, and their adventures would fill a volume.

Knapp and Morgan, the well known Eastern riders, accom-
panied by a team of female riders, will visit this const shortly.
Their first appearance in public will probably be at Sacra-
mento during the State Fair, when they will take part in
some of the bicycle races.

Several of tbe local wheelmen were seen in the park early
last Sunday morning.

Only two members of the S. F. B. C. essayed the tramp to
Mt. Tamalpais on Sunday last, Messrs. Spencer and McDon
aid. There is no positive proof that these two gentlemen
ascended the Mount, but as there was no referee or judge
present to watch their movements, their words must be
accepted.

Fred Wood, the professional bicycle rider, closed his career
on the path by winning the ten-mile scratch race at the
"Sport and Play" meeting at Ashton, Eng , on Monday, Au-
gust 5th. Wood, who is one of the most popular and yet
most modest men that ever rode as a professional, has a long
and honorable record as a racing man, and his Buccess in
this, his last contest, will be welcome to all. After the race
he said, "I am glad I have won, not for the sake of the
money, but because I was anxious to beat all the acknowl-
edged champions of the world before I finally retired from
the path. I have attained the object of my ambition, and it
is now my intention to turn the game up. A man cannot al-
ways expect to hold his own against young blood, and now
that I have carried off the championship of the world I have
fully determined that nothing shall again induce me to don
racing costume. I have been riding for nearly ten years
and have won 102 races, so I think I can very well retire up-
on my merits. .1 have now done wita racing, and intend to
devote my time to my business, which I find pays me best.''

To-night the Bay City Wheelmen will celebrate their fifth
anniversary at the club rooms, on Van Ness Avenue. The
literary and musical entertainment will begin at eight o'clock,
after which an elegant supper will be served. Invitations
have been forwarded to all the promiment wheelmen on tbe
Pacific Coast. The B. C. W. are noted for their hospitality,
and those who accept their invitation can rest assured that
they will spend a very enjoyable evening.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The Bixth cross country run of the Olympic Athletic Club
will be held at San Mateo to-morrow. The athletes who in-
tend taking part in the run will leave Fourth and Townsend
street, at 8 a. m. The fare for the round trip is 75 cts. Af-
ter the run the boys will indulge in a swim, and each one
should bring along his bathing suit and towels. A fine lunch
will be furnished in the afternoon. Tbe run will be under
the direction of D. W. Donnelly.

The sum of §2.500 judiciously expended on the Harbor
View training grounds would make them the finest grounds
of the kind in the United States. Should the directors of
the C. A. C. decide to make such an appropriation the ex-
penditures would be doubly repaid in less than two years.
If they mean to stand by their amateur members they should
spend more money in their interest, for the time may yet
come when tbe amateur branch will be a big help to the
club.

The regular annual meeting of the Acme Athletic Clnb, of
Oakland, will be held on next Monday evening, at 8 o'clock,
when the election of officers for the ensuing term will he
held. The installation of officers will take place on Tuesday
evening, Sept. 10th. The club rooms are situated at No. 305
14th St., Oakland.

Notwithstanding the fact that great interest is taken in
out'door sports In San Francisco, not one of her many ath-
letic clubs can boast of having training grounds.

The C. A. A. C. may send a team of its amateur athletes to
Los Angeles to compete in tha Thanksgiving Day games of
the Los Angeles Athletic Club.

Two very handsome diamond medals representing the
feather and light weight amateur boxing championships re-
spectively will be presented to the two members who shall
score the greatest number of victories during the next six
months at the exhibitions of the Pacific Athletic Club. All
the competitions will be limited to ten rounds, as the club
does not sanction finish fights.

The following clubs will place teams in the field on No-
vember 28th; The O. A. C, G. G. A. C, U. A. O., P. A. C.
and the Eintracht A. C. The struggle for first honors, of
course, will be between the O. A. C. and the U. A. C, while
the P. A. C. and tbe G. G..A. C. will do battle for the third
place.

The absence of hot waiter baths in the club rooms of the
C. A. C, is a great loss to the members, and some effort to
remedy the deficiency should be made at once.

The next exhibition of the P. A. C. promises to be a big
success. Some of the most prominent amateur boxers of the
coast will lend their services for the occasion.

The fifth annual competition for the individual general
athletic championships of America, under the auspices of tbe
A. A. U. will take place on the grounds of the Brooklyn,
New York, Athletic Association on September 7th.

The sixth annual championship meeting of the Canadian
Amateur Athletic Association will be held at Toronto, On-
tario, on September 28th. All the leading Eastern amateurs
will take part in the meeting.

The A. A. U. has decided to allow the Manhattan A. C,
of New York the rmvilege of adding a two-mile steeplechase
and a teu-mile running race to their programme of games for
September 21st, Both events will be for the championships
of America.

The American amateur championship meeting will be held
on the grounds of the New York Athletic Club nt Travers
Island, September 14th, The events open to all amateurs
are: 100-yard, 220-yard, 440 yard, 880-yard, 4-mile and 5-
mile runs; 120-yard hurdle race, 10 hurdles 3 feet 6 inches
high; 220-yard hurdle race, 10 hurdles, 2 feet six inches
high; 1 mile walk; 3-mlle walk; running high jump; run-
ning broad jump, pole vault; throwing 56-pound weight;
putting 16-pound shot; throwing 16 pound hammer; 2-mile
bicycle race; tng-of-war, teams of four men, total weight
limited to 650 pounds. Entrance fee $2 per man for each
event. The right to reject an entry is reserved. Entries
close September 7th to Secretary, P.O. Box 611, New York
City.

The new exhibition hall of the C. A. C. was formally
opened on Tuesday evening. The members were well pleased
at the change, as they were able to witness the boxing exhi-
bitions in comfort and without having to strain their eyes to
get a glimpse at the gladiators.

The nominating committee of the Olympic Club have
nominated the following officers for the ensuing year: W.
Greer Harrison, President; R. P. Hammond. Jr., vice-Presi-
dent; W.E Hollaway, Secretary; Henry B. Russ, Treasurer;
Walter A. Scott, leader; directors: M. H. Weed, A. B. Field,
E.A. Rix, A. C. Forsythe, J. H. Gilhuly and B. Baldwin.
The election will take place next Monday at the rooms of the
club, on O'Farrel Street.

The O^mpic ticket which appears elsewhere is an excellent
one, and there appears to be but one opposition, wni:h is
upon the leadership. The nominee, Mr. Scott, has always
been recognized as an exponent of outdoor atnleticFJ, and
some members of the club believe that since one of the
members Mr. John A. Hammersmith has proved himself
peerless as a gymnast and leader of indoor sports, he fshould
be made leader, and the office of captain created for Mr.
Scott. Mr. Hammersmith is being pushed fer the position
of leader on an independent ticket and will undoubtedly be
elected. Ifc is to be regretted tnat both men cannot go upon
the board, without a contest. Each is enthusiastic'and capable
in his own way and both are much needed in the board now.

IN THE STJRF.

The Civil Service Swimming Club has disbanded.

A swimming club in conjunction with the C. A. A. C. will
be organized when the new training grounds at Harbor View
are finished.

Pi-ofessor M. A. Kinucan is a constant visitor at the Palace
Baths. He is a very graceful swimmer, and tbe ladies always
enjoy watching his movements in the water.

George Spiller, of the Terrace Swimming Club, is one of
tbe best hand-over-haud swimmers on the Pacific Coast,

Several large man-eating sharks have recently been cap-
tured in the vicinity of Capitola, and the bathers there should
be very cautious about venturing out too far from tbe shore.

Last Sunday the weather was raw and cold, and in conse-
quence the attendance at the different surf baths was not as
large as usual. The Pa'ace and Crystal Baths, however, did
a rushing business during the week.

More than fifty ladies swim to the raft at Santa Cruz every
day. When a lady now essays the task of swimming out to
the raft she attracts no attention whatever; last year the fact
of a lady attempting the task never failed to cause commo-
tion amongst the audience on the shore.

Connec ed with the hotel at San Pedro, in San Mateo
County, near Colma, is one of the finest bathing places on
the coast. The beach there is very smooth, and the surf
just right for pleasure bathing.

A swimming club in connection with the Shelter Cove
Baths was lately organized. Tbe club house is very comfort-
ably arranged, and a fine gymnasium hts been furnished for
the use of the members. The initiation fee has been fixed at
$1, and tbe monthly dues the same. The initiative swim-
ming tournament will be held in the near future, when line
medals will be awarded the winners of the different events.

A diving coutest, open to all amateurs, was held at tbe
Terrace Swimming Baths, Alameda, on Sunday last. The
contestants were Ed. Mowry, W. T. Hunt, and Harry Har-
mon. Tbe prize was a handsome gold medal offered by Pro-
fessor Collins of tbe Palace Baths, San Francisco. The con-
test was won easily by Ei. Mowry, of the Terrace Swimming
Club, whose graceful diving elicited much applause from the
audience present.

Chae. Krum, a member of the New Jersey Athletic Club,
on Saturday, August 17tb, undertook for a wager to swim
from the Bergen Point lighthouse, in the Kill von Knll, to
the Bergen Point lighthouse in Newark Bay, about six miles,
in 2 hrs. 30 min. He accomplished the feat in 1 hr. 11 min.,
being materially aided by a strong flood tide.

AT THE OARS.

The Ariel is the only rowing clnb in San Francisco that is
incorporated.

Owing to the strong wind on Sunday the Bay was exceed-
ingly rough, and only a couple of crews took exercise.

The committee appointed by the Ariel "Rowing Club to
look after new quarters, so far have bfen unsuccessful in
their search. There is a possibility that tbe Ariels may con-
solidate with the Columbia Boat Club of Oakland.

A crew from the Nonpareil Rowing Club, consisting of
Watty Watkins, stroke, Brutus Fargo and Ike Holz, waist,
and M. A Kinucan, aft, were out in the club's new barge
"Mark O'Pollo" last Sunday. They rowed to Oakland, and
from there to Tiburon and return. P.issing Arcb Rock they
encountered a very choppy sea, which caused Ike's head to
disappear repeatedly over tbe si le of the boat.

The coming contest for the amateur feather-weight cham-
pionship promises to be one of the best ever witnessed, as
both men are in good condition, and are determined to win.

Joeseph Hesketh, the gallant aud clever light-weight of the
Pacific Athletic Club, has goue in active training at the Frnit-
vale grounds, Oakland, and will be in line trim for the coming
contest. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Hesketh for
upholding the colors and name of the youngest athletic club
in this city, and to quote his own sayings, "I will content
with any light-weight on this coast, and in any battle I will
always remember that it is not for my owu sake that I con-
test, but for athletics in general, and also for tbe honor and
co'ors of my club, the Pacifio Athletic, and for an institution
which is following tbe genuine principles of sociability and of
athletics." The boys wish success to Joe, and hope that he
always will be victorious.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Next to bathing, skating is one of the mistjpo]
ments at Camp Cap'loln. TLe rink there is crov
nnd day.

B. whose dam was Maple. At Anaoonda, on the 15th of this
month, she made a record of 2:26|.

The Breeders' Gazette has published a picture, supposed
to be Anteeo, and it looks as much like that son of Election-
eer, as a jack rabbit does to a kaogaroo.

At Butte City, Montana, the bojs got quite enthusiastic
over the results of the racing, and over $200,000 passed
through the pool box, during the meeting.

I have to thank the secretaries of tbe Associations at Cliieo,
Marysville. Redding, Placerville, Yreka and Petaluma, for

Tom Bally's luck has cbauged; he won a mile dash with
Little Phil, at Anaconda, and now he is on his way Lack to
reap further triumphs if possible in California.

The Vallejo track is almost completed, and several of the
parties interested claim that it will be the fastest track in
the State. We will all be better able to judge of that when the
meeting opens there.

A number of other affidavits to the same effect as the above
can be given if required, but as a number of these parties
are eighty miles apart, andjyon go to the press on Thursday,
I have had only three dayB time in which to answer Mr.
Lowell with proofs.

Niok Steiner of 311 and 313 Bnsh St., has a notice in an-

at Sacramento during the two weeks of the fair there, and
buyers will have a chance offered them to purchase choice

offered by the various consignors are reputed to be superior
to any ever offered in the State.

On Saturday lest a match race was brought off at Sacra-

mt this time Tom Benton, who is by Gen. Benton, dam by
McCrack^u'd Black Hawk, despite several years in the stud

them between 2:37 and 2:38.

Parish's Referee, an Eastern Sporting piper, copies the
Breeder and Spotsman's picture of the great sprinter Ger-
aldine and does not give credit. Grant Parish has lost all
Bense of honor and principle, but then you cannot expect
anything from a hog but a grunt.

The following sensible paragraph is from the Horseman.
"Have you plenty of shade in your pasture-field where the
idle horses and colts graze? If there are no treeB in your fieldB
it will pay to build sheds or coverings of some kind to keep
away the rays of the burning mid-summer sun.

An exchange says: "The proper way to stop a paper is to
pay np, and then stop it afterwards. If you are a gentleman
and don't owe a cent, walk into the office and candidly Bay
you do not wish the paper, or can't afford to subscribe. If
you are on the swindle, mark it 'refused' and chuck it hack
in the postoffice."

Mr. Bonner has sent Maud S. to his farm near Tarryfown,
New York, to be prepared for another trail against the watch.
It has not been finally settled who will drive the Queen of
the turf, but there are Btrong reasons for thinking that Crit.
Davis will be the one selected.

I wish to thank J. H. JtJailhascheaud I. De Turk, of the
Santa Rosa Board of Directors, for couitesies shown me last
week. If there had been any others of the board who did
any work thanks would have been due them also, but as it was
John and Isaac did it all. Shame on Buch a board.

On the first of September the last payment is due for the
$2000, guaranteed purse at Fresno for the 2:20 class. The
weights are also to be accepted in the Raisin Handicap.
They are as follows: Oro 103, Manzanita 100, Sir Charles 90,
Mozart 108, Joe Hogo 103, Hello 103, Laura Gardner 110,
Jack Brady 110, Phantom 95, Dan Murphy 105.

Mr. Can field, of Napa, has a fine weanling which he oalls
Easter Egg. The youngster is bred as follows — by Wilkes
Pasha, he by Onward, dam Coloma by Alcoua Clay, son of
Alcona, he by Almont; 2nd dam Fontana by Almont; 3rd
dam by Alexauder's Abdallah. The blood lines here shown
are rich enough to suit the most fastidious.

And now the Eastern journals are suggesting a change
in the stable management of the Hearst string. Senator,
send on for Billy Appleby, Matt Storn, or Dan Hennessey,
and you will experience a change of luck. You have good
horses and they should win at times, and they would if they
were trained properly.

Patsy Daffy, the well-known jockey had the first mount
on Gilford, Thursday of last week tnat he has had for many
months, Patsy's fondness for fire-water got the best of him.
It is to be hoped that he will now keep straight, and he can
make lots of money, for owners know his ability is not
excelled by any jockey in the country.

Johnny GoldBmith, of San Francisco, sold the mare Sister
V., by Sidney, for $3,000, and not $8,000, as erroneously
stated in a California paper, says the Horseman. You should
stick to this paper for your California news, and not trust to
the dailies for your information, Mr. Horseman. The mare
was sold for $8,000, and here is some more newB for you. She
was won out in the first race she started in, on the Montana
Circuit.

J. H. Oathwaite, of Sierra Maire, Los Angeles County, has
purchased from Frederic A. Foster, of Irvington, N. Y., the
fine bay mare Shirley, by Kentucky Prince, dam Ida by Ham-
hletonian 10; second dam Imogene, by Seely's American Star;
third dam by Abdallah 1. Shirley was the fast=Bt of Mr.
Foster's well-known team that could go to the pole on the
road in 2:20 when in condition.

Mr. E. S. Culver, Secretary of the Pacific Coast Blood
Horse Association, has suffered a great loss by an accident
that happened to his yearling filly by Three Cheers, dam
Queen Emma, by Woodburn. She was runningina large field
near Santa Rosa, and in some unaccountable manner cut the
tendon of one of the hind legs completely through, She had
shown signs of great speed.

When Almont Patchen, Gold Leaf and Yolo Maid meet at
Oakland Park, there will not be room to seat the thousands
who will attend to see the great contest for supremacy. The
high altitudeB Beems to have affected the Maid, but" by the
time she returns to this climate will, beyond doubt, have all
her speed again. Almont Patchen by that time should be
recovered from his injuries.

When the District pacing raceB was called at Napa, after
the first heat the contestants were all sons of Alexander But-
ton, and right royally has hb stamped them with speed. JuBt
fancy, the first heat that a horse ever appeared in, to make a
record of 2:205, and the second heat taken by another green
horse, in 2:20 Truly Mr. Woodard has a great stallion, one
that is a credit to tbe state.

When I bought this filly at Mr. Seales' auction sale, I be-
lieved that 1 was buying a filly really sired by Fallis, and
did not know different until Mr. Henry Aguew brought the
matter to my notice, and when I searched into the records
and proofs I found for the first time that she was by my
horse Eros and out of Accident, and then, of course, imme-
diately announced her proper breeding when the ranch en-
tered her in races. Yours, etc., Frank H.Burke.

W. L. Appleby, B. P. Hill, and Kelly and Samuels, did
not go to Petaluma with their running horses, but took them
from Napa to Oakland. The owners all say the purses
offered are too small to run for, and they cannot afford to
risk accidents, by taking the bang-tails around the cirouit.
It is highly probable that next year, very few of the larger
stables will make entries on the cirouit.

When Robert E. Campbell gave his colored brother,
Brown Dick, Protection, the Junior Champion Stake winner^
to train he contracted with him that he was to pay $1.50 a
day for his handling, and that Dick was to have ten per cent
of his winnings, and to be a half-owner of the colt. Dick's
contract also says that the preat colt cannot be sold with-
out bis consent. Early last winter Dick predicted that this
son of Prince Charlie would by his performance startle the
turf world.

If Driver Rodreguez is not careful he may find some judges
who will not be qnite so lenient as thope at Santa Rosa were.
In the raoe that Hazel Wilkes won Aleretta conld and should
have beaten her for the fifth heat, but it would have inter-
fpred with the play that the gang was making in the pool
box. Be a little more careful in future, Mr. Rodreguez, and
do not talk so loud coming down the homestretch that scores
of people can hear what you say to other drivers.

As will be seen by reference to the advertisement of the
San Mateo and Santa Clara oounty Agriculture Association
the entries elose on September Sth, and the last payments
on the colt stakes are due Sept. 2nd. The society has put
up an excellent programme, and offer good purees, which
is always an attraction for owners. In the paBt, San Jose
has been one of the favorite places to go immediately after1
tbe State fair and there is everylikelihood that the horse,
men wiil want to go there this year as tbe track is reported
very fast.

A. J. Cassatt and J. J. Withers, of the Monmouth Park
Association, have been arrested at the instance of the New
York pool room keepers, who charge them with keeping "a
disorderly house, "under an old New JerBey law, which says
that any place where gambling is carried on \a a disorderly
house. This is the result of the directors cutting of the
telegraphic communication, so that the result of the races
could not be had by the pool room keepers.

PETALDMA.

[By our Special Commissioner.]

TUESDAY.

The opening day of the Pe tain ma Fair found a better crowd
in attendance than there was inside the Santa Rosa grounds
at any time during the meeting The grandstand — a large,
comfortable and commodious one — was fairly well tilled, and
the grounds in front of the stand and abont the betting shed
were tilled witb people. During the early hours of the day
the pavilion had a good crowd, and the very oreditab'e ex-
hibit was examined with pleasure. The pavilion is one of
the handsomest I have seen, and the individual displays are
good. The display of fruit is large aDd varied. Wines and
olive oil, flowers, canned goods, merchandise, buggies,
harness, etc., are shown in abundance. If, as many assert.
it required a pavilion and a baud to draw a crowd to a Cali-
fornia race track, then the people ought to come here. But
as the horses and the trials and contests of speed are what
the Breeder and Sportsman wants to know about, I will
speak tirst of these.

H. M. La Rue, Robert Crane and H. Mecbam were judges
for the day, and Messrs. L. J. Hose, Harry Agnew and "Wil-
fred Page held the watches on the flyers. At 1:30 o'clock
there was an anxious crowd leaning against the fence await-
ing the tap of the bell. It came and called out the starters
for the

District Two-year-old Trot.
They were R. Murphy's b f Maud Dee, J. H. White's b s
Joe, Guy E. (iroBBe's b s Anteeop, W. T. Bartlett's b c Frank
B. and Wilfred Page's b f Leoline. The young ones were
guided respectively by Mart Rollins, Chas. Marvin, J. Law-
rence, H. GeddingB and O. A. Hickok. In the light of Frank
B.'s previous performance, the talent, and indeed almost
everybody else, looked upon the Coligny colt as a sure win-
ner, and when Sam Whitehead opened the bail with that
old, familiar cry, "What am I offered for choice?" a dozen
hands went up aDd named Frank B. at ?25. The first pool
sold, Frank B. $25, Field $17, and the others went just like
it.

First Heat — The young ones had a hard time getting away,
and they Bcored themselves half tired before La Rue gave
the word; then Rollins had Maud Dee in front. Going
around the turn she was first, Anteeop second, Leoline third,
Joe fourth, and Frank B. last. Frank B. left his feet as they
swung in, and was never heard of again. They went down
the backstretch and to the half in the order given, but from
thereon Maud Dee and Anteeop were the only ones in the
heat. The little filly trotted square and game, and though
Anteeop gave her a tight in the straight, he couldn't head her,
and she went under a good winner by a head, Anteeop break-
ing at the wire. Joe was about five lengths behind them,
in third place, and Leoline a length behind him in fourth.
After galloping the greater part of the distance, Fraok B.
came down the straight just in time to have the red flag drop
in his face. Time, 2;49j. There was quite a chop in the
pools after the heat. Maud Dee, although she had been giv-
en a hard heat, was worth $40, while Anteeop sold for $22,
and the Geld for $8.

Second Heat. — Rollins was again in the front row with his
filly when the word was given, and Marvin had Joe with her.
The heat was between them as Leoline and Anteeop com-
menced to break early in the chase. Maud Dee was two
lengths in front of Joe going down the bacfestretcb, and she
was a length in front when they passed around the turn and
started for home. Then Marvin shook Joe up and sent him
along lively. He got up to the filly's wheel and Btayed there
for a sixteenth, but ;broke at the critical moment and gave
the heat, race i,and first, third and fourth moneys to Maud
Dee, getting second for himself. Leoline and Anteeop tar-
ried too long in their breaks, and were shut out. Time, 2:464.

District 2:50 Class.
Second on the day's card was the district 2:50 class for a
purse of $800. There were originally eight starters for the
race, and it was set for Thursday, but the Directors switched
it over to Tuesdays and the majority of the horses, not being
in condition after their race at Santa Kosa, were scratched,
leaving only Palo Alto's ch m Lorita, driven by Marvin, and
Wm. Corbett's ch m Hazel Wilkes, driven by'Goldsmith, to
go. They went in what I afterwards heard horsemen term
the best race of the season. If time is a criterion by which
to judge, it was a good race. Lorita was the thing in the bet-
ting and Bold at odds of three to one.

First Heat. — With two such drivers as Marvin and Gold-
smith, it was not a difficult matter to send them off, though
Marvin got the best of the score, and quickly took the pole.
He opened a gap of two lengths by the time they had gone a
quarter, and he- held that distance, his filly breaking twice
before she got to the half, but she loses nothing by a break,
and comes down well. On the lower torn Hazel Wilkes be-
gan to close, and forced Lorita to another break. Down the
straight the pace was very fast, and Hazel got up to the
leader's head. Lorita broke at the drawgate, gained some-
thing by it, but not enough, and Hazel came squarely in and
won by three lengths. Time, 2:23A. The jadges, in render-
ing their decision, cautioned the drivers against running.

Second Heat— Lorit& $35, Hazel Wilkes $25. were the
quotations when they came to the score. Marvin sent his
rilly to the front and took the pole as before. She was three
lengths to the good on the backstretch. On the lower turn
Goldsmith began to move up, and Lorita broke. She came
into the straight in a (angle, but Marvin set her down well
and sent her toward the wire under a drive. Goldsmith
moved Hazel Wilkes up to Lorita's head, but his mare lost
her feet nnder the pressure, and Lorita took the beat by
three good lengths. Time, 2:23.

Third Heat— Pools: Lorita S40, Hazel Wilkes $25. The
heat in its features was a repetition of the first. Lorita lead,
with an occasional break from the start to the bead of the
straight when Hazel Wilkes, without making a bobble, out-
speeded hf r, forced htr to a break, and got home three lengths
first in 2:224-, finishing smoothly and well in hand.

Fourth Heat — In the desperate endeavors made by the
hedgere, Hazel Wilkes sold in the pools for $50 and $60,
Lorita bringing $15 and $16 against it. Hazel won the heat
in the Btraight. Lorita stayed in front from the start until

gap of a length, and when Lorita went in the air, Hazel
dashed in a winner. Time. 2:23.

District 2:40 Class.

The third entry on the programme had as starters H. B.
Starr's br m Flora Belle, driven by Goldsmith, J. H. White's
blk m Kitty Almont, driven by Hickok. T. Whitton's b g
Liokont, driven by McGraw, Sanborn & Murphy's oh s Ned
Lock driven by Lawrence, and G. P. Baxter's ch m Leila,
driven by Sperry. The fraternity booked Flora Belle at $25
against $5 for Ned Lock and $10 for the field. Flora Bel e
took it easy in straight heats.

First Heat — When they got the word after a deal of scoring,
Flora Belle went off strong, Ned Lock a length behind her,
Lookout two lengths away, and the rest trailing on account
of breaks made by both Kittle Almont and Leila while going
into the turn. Tbocgh Ned Lock tried very hard, he could
never head the mare, and she took the heat, never losing her
feet. Ned Lock got Becond. Lookout lost third place by a
bid break and Leila got it, Lookout finishing a poor fourth
and Kittie fifth. Time, 2:25.

Second Heat— No pools sold. When Kittie Almont came
out she was lame and permission was given to withdraw her.
She was too much in flesh and short of work. The word
was given to the remaining four. Flora Belle went to the
front, Lookout behind her aod Ned Lock in third place.
Leila broke on the turn and was out of it. Flora was never
caught, though Ned Lock and Lookout gave her some hot
work down the straight. She won by four lengths, Lookout
second, Ned Lock third, and Leila distrnced. Time, 2:26£.

Third Heat — A final effort to down the mare was made by
putting Marvin up behind Ned Lock and Hickok behind
Lookout, but the effort failed, though it made a good final
heat. Flora Belle took the lead, but the two horBes were
well up hehind her all the way, and succeeded in forcing her
out in 2:2-4. She was simply too fast for them, and they
couldn't head her. Flora Belle got first and second money,
Ned Lock second place and third money, and Lookout third
place and fourth money.

The much talked of Dawn, the three legged phenomenon,
came out hetween the heats, and Lee Shaner drove him to
beat his 2:19}. The horse appeared to be in the beBt of con-
dition and fit for a good mile. There was a high wind blow-
ing, aod the back stretch was hard climbiDg. The track was
hard and fast. Shaner sent the horse off strong, and he rnt
down the quarter in 344; the half pust w?s reached in 1:10|;
he got to the three-quarters in 1 :45, and the wire was reached
in 2:19}. A runner accompanied him for the last five-
eighths. Considering the wind, the performance was not a
bad one for a horse that some men thought would never go
fast again. If everything had been favorable, the record
would probably have been lowered.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28TH.

There was a bier crowd in attendance upon the second day
of the meeting. The racps were good, but a little one-Bided.
The programme was begun with a dash for the district year-
lings. There were five starters, A. L. Whitney's ch f Anna
Belle, J. Harrison's ch f Dusk, R S. Brown's ch f Nellie K ,
Ben Harris' ch f Starlight and W. F. Edwards' b c Whaler.
Four of the lot were DawD representatives. Anna Belle,
Dusk and Nellie K. were put in the field and sold for §25,
Starlight bringing $12 and Whaler $5. Lee Shaner was
driving ADna Belle, and when the bell tapped he took her off
in front, and she trotted the full mile smoothly, winniug by
sis lengths, Nellie K. second. Starlight third, Dusk fourth
and Whaler fifth. Time, 3:05}.

The firBt event to excite and interest waB the above. Palo
Alto's b c Pedlar and Capt. Harris' blk f Lorena were in it.
The talent fancied Palo Alto's entry, and he brought $25 in
the auctions to $7 and $8 for the filly. Marvin of course
was up behind Pedlar, and Buster piloted Lorena.

First Heal — At the word Lorena took the lead, and went
away handily. Pedlar broke going into the turn, and the
crowd howled at the favorite. The break gave Lorena a lead
of four lengths: she went well to the half bat broke there.
The break cost her little, and without any crowding from
Pedlar, Bhe came on home and took the heat by a good four
lengthB. Time, 2:30.

Second Heal— When the pool-boxes opened, Pedlar's friends
stuck to him for a while, but they soon got enough, and the
two sold at about even money. Pedlar scored up well, and
when they got the word, he was half a length in front and
took the pole. On the turn he opened a gap of two lengths,
and on the backstretch increased it to three. Lorena stood
no show as long as Pedlar stayed on his feet. For once he
trotted steadily, and though Buster made a final effort with
the filly on the straight, Bhe was tired, and Pedlar came home
fast, and finished four lengths in front of her in 2:27|. The
filly was very tired, while the colt was comparatively fresh.

Third Heat— Lorena got the lead and the pole on the turn,
but all the speed was gone oat of her, and by the time she
reached the quarter, Pedlar collared and pasBed her, after

half, and the filly passed him, but as soon as he got down he
went along at a 0:20 gait, and was again in the lead when
they reachod the straight. Lorena quit there, and the colt
came on and won as he pleased in 2:35|.

The next event was the 2:20 class, and had six starters—
Palo Alto's b h Palo Alto, driven by Marvin, J. N. Ayres' br
hBay Rose, driven by Hickok, Davis & Go's blk g Franklin,
driven by Donathan, E. B Gilford's blk g Don Tonias, driv-
en by Bayliss, G. E. Doherty's b h Victor, driven by owner,
and J. A. Linscott's oh h Jim L. driven by Rodriguez It
was Palo Alto's first essay in the 2:20 class, but s

with any kind of odds against his field. The average pool
was, Palo Alto, $100, field $40 There was a lot of money
in the box on the ra e but on every side could be heard ex-
pressions of regret that Palo Alto was in as the best betting
event of the season was spoiled. Every other horse in the
race, with the exception of Franklin, was more or less sore
from the hard race at Santa Rosa, and the hard track made
the going very wearisome for some of them

First Heat— When they got the word they went into the
turn at a lively clip, and when they were strung out Frank-
lin was in front, Bay Rose a length behind him, Jim L the
same distance from Bay Rose, Palo Alto fourth and Don
Tomas and Victor bringing up the rear. Palo Alto made
one skipping break, but settled quickly. Bay Rose lost his
feet at the head of the backstretch and Victor took his
place. Palo Alto closed up, and at the half was on even
terms with Jim L. and a short length behind Franklin. A
break by Victor gave Bay Rose fourth place again. On the
lower turn Marvin began to send Palo Alto along. He
passed Jim L., forced Franklin off his feet, and came into
the Btraight leading by a length. Bay Rose also trotted fast
on the turn, and when the race for the wire commenced in
sober earnest he passed Franklin and tried for the leader.
There was too much speed for him and Palo Alto finished
well in hand three lengths to the good of Bay Rose, second,
Franklin third, Jim L. fourth, Victor fifth, Don Tomas sixth.
Time, 2:20k

Second heat— A pool sold after the heat, Palo Alto 5110,
Field $20, and the field buyers were not very strong at that.
Palo Alto made a short break as they swung into the turn,
and gave the crowd a good lead. Bay Rose and Franklin
went almost neck in front, Don Tomas and Victor on even
terms behind them, Jim L. back with Palo Alto. Down the
backstretch the pace was slow. At the half, Bay Rose and
Franklin were slill together in front. Palo Alto had moved
up and was trotting alongside Tomas and Victor and Jim L.
were a pair behind. From tnat point Palo Alto began to
trot. He closed the gap very CaBt, and at the head of the
straight he, Bay Rose aud Franklin were head and head.
There was a struggle, and a grand one. The three
speedy ones came down past the distance post at a fearful
pace. Franklin went up, Bay Rose got the whip and put in
a burst of speed, aud despite Marvin's efiorts with the favor-
orite, Bay Rose flew under the wire half a head in front,
amid cheers from the crowd. Franklin got in third, Don
Tomas fourth, Victor fifth and Jim L. Bixth. Time, 2:20£.
~ Third Heat— Fifty for Palo Alto, and $20 for the Field
were the ruling prices in the auc ions. Franklin again went
off around the turn in front, this time attended by Jim L.,
Victor and Don Tomas Becond, Palo Alto behind them. Bay
Rose made a bad break at the turn and was heard of no more.
When they got around in the backstretch, Franklin had but
little the best of Jim L., and Palo Alto and Don Tomas were
close up to them, Victor back two lengths. Don Tomas lost
his fe t under the pressure, and Palo Alto closed up with the
leaders and giving into the lower turn passed them as if
they were standing still. He was never headed again. Victor,
Tomas and Franklin bad a sharp fight for second coming
down the Btraight, bnt Victor broke and Don Tomas gave it
up, and Franklin finished second four lengths behind Palo
Alto, Don Tomas third, Victor fourth, Jim L. fifth, and Bay
Rose just inside the distance popt. Time, 2:2! J.

Fourth Heat. — The fourth and last heat also fell to Palo
Alto. The send-off was a poor one, Bay Rose and Jim L.
both leaving the post in a gallop. The bell was tapped once
and Hickok, thinking there was no go, drew Bay Rose up.
He saw the others going, and let out again, but the distance
lost was fatal. Palo AUo was in front all the time, Franklin
and Victor in second place to the lower turn, when Don
Tomas and Jim L. closed up with them. From the three-
quarters home Don Tomas trotted very fast. He got in sec-
ond place and made a rush for the lead. Franklin made the
rush with him. Marvin drew up to let Hickok in, and Don
Tomas crowded him close, finishing second a half length be-
hind him. Franklin thiid, Victor fourth and Jim L. filth.

Pacing, 2:25 Class.

The 2:25 class pace fell to a field horse in straight heats,
the tirst time since the circuit began that it came that way.
Split heats are the rule with the pacers. Racquet, Edwin
C., Belle Button, Longworth and J. H , all the old crowd,
were in it, with one new addition in Princess Alice, a three-
year-old black tilly by Dpxter Prince out of a Chieftain mare,
the property of J Patterson Belle Button was anything
but right and the talent thought Racquet ought to win it.
They backed him at $25 to $20 for the field and $12 for
Belle Button.

First Heat— Longworth and Belle Button went around thu
turn two lengths in front of Edwin C in third place. Rac-
quet and Princess Alice brought up the rear. Button
stayed with Longworth clear around to the straight,
with Edwin C. close up. In the straight the filly quit,
and Edwin C. aud Longworth had the race home all
to themselves. They made it fast Longworth getting
in first by two lengths, Edwin C. secoud. Princess Alice
third, Belle Bntton fourth, and Racquet fifth, J. H. sixth.

Second Heat — The betting men stood pat. Longworth
went off in company with Belle Button as in the first heat,
Edwin C. in thiid plare. The two leaders were five lengths
away at the half, bat on the lower turn Edwin C. closed up
and Belle Button gave second to him. Longworth was pushed
on the straight by Edwin O., but he kept his feet under the
whip and took the heat, Edwin C. second. Princess Alice
third, Belle Button, who quit on the straight fifth. J. H.
tangled himself in a break on the first turn and was dis-
tanced. Time, 2:20j.

Third Heat— Pete Brandowpnt Andy McDowell up behind
Racquet in the vain hope of getting something, but he was
too late, Longworth took the lend on the firBt turn and
never gave it up, the only one malting a 1 id at him being
Edwin C. and Princess Alice, but neither of them were fast
enough to pick him up. They finished, LoDgworlh first,
Edwin C. second, Racquet third, Princess Alice fourth, and
Belle Button fifth. Time, 2:21 -J.

Cedar Eiver Trouting.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman :— Having heard that
good strings of trout were being caught in the Cedar Elver,
in the vicinity o£ Cedar Mountain some eighteen miles from
town, Jay might have been seen aboard the smoker of the C.
& P. S. Narrow Gnage Railway one bright July day, armed
with his laucewood rod, reel and hies. Visions of big catches
of gamey and heavy trout flit through his brain. When the
train at last stops at the mountain, well on into the evening,
a "lone fisherman" is soon observed measuring the ties with
long and rapid gait. "When about two miles are covered the
expectant lone fisherman jumps a fence, and striding through
the long, damp grass, is soon beside the rushing and roaring,
clear and transparent river.

Rod, line, reel and a brown hackle are soon adjusted, and
Jay is ready for the trout, big or little, which infest this
pretty stream. A long cast is made into a promising-looking
spot below an eddy, where the water looks deep and dark
and still.

The rain which has been fchrf atening some time now falls
heavily down, but, being warm, is not minded by the enthu-
siastic fisherman, who is soon wet clean through.

Jay has made several casts without result; the fish are evi-
dently not so anxious about the matter as the fisherman, and
refuBe to bite. Deeming it to he a poor fly he is using, a
"coachman" is tried, to his satisfaction, upon the leader,

Another east, but "where, oh where, is the fly"? It has
evidently flown off, as it no longer dangles upon the end of
the line; guess it struck upon the pebbles upon the beach,
separating the gut.

Another is soon in its place. At second cast there is a
rush, a splash and a reeling in of the line, and Jay lands a
four-inch trout, much to his disgust, which is fired back into
the water so quick that the poor fish could hardly claim to
have been ashore at all.

Jay turns his back on this beautiful hole in disgust. Fol-
lowing the river down a few rods, he finally selects a nice,
cool and delightful-looking pool, which should almost over-
flow with scaly monsters, if looks go for anything.

A couple of toothsome flies are soon bobbing across the
bosom of the pool; no bite. They bob seme more, still no
bite. Try it again; result the same. The rain also con-
tinues to fall, which is blamed for the bad luck.

It will soon be dark. The heavily wooded mountain
frowns gloomily down upon the lonely fisherman, who is
now fast becoming anxious.

How on earth is he going to fulfill his promise to his better-
half, who has been promised, with a dull and gloomy vow,
that the long promised mess will be forthcoming this time,
and if the waters of the earth have to be fished Ashless?

The last time he was out he didn't have the right flies; the
time before that he broke his rod, and still before that again
the fish wouldn't bite; all these things have been explained
over and over again to the patient wife upon the return trip

But this time Jay is upon his dignity. His reputation is
at stake; something has got to be done. Never will he desist
till a grand and goodly striDg is hisn to proudly flaunt tefore
those laughing and credulous eyes, when all will be forgiven.
So wake up Ca:3ar_. and to the fray; gird up your loins, and
also your wading boots; get into the centre of stream and
strike for glory and trout.

Jay is getting excited. He is going to have fish if he has to
jump in and kick them to death, or lash the old stream into
fury and foam. But gently, what is that? "Gentlemen, did
I hear anyone say a bite?" That's what it is, and a good one.
A Btrike, and we've got him. Go slow, old boy, bites are
scarce to-night, but we've got to have them. We ^ant that
fiih, and want it very bad. We need it in our business..

Jay reels in a little, but there is a rush. The line is play
ing out fast; down stream, and then across it goes; a lull,
and again Jay nibbles on the line, till another rush occurs;
aome more reeling is done, the neh allowing himself to be
retled up close, but he is not spent yet. Jay, in his anxiety
to get the landing net under him, is too hasty. Steadying
himself against the swift curreutj which threatens to carry
the tishless fisherman down stream, already caiouliting the

weight to be at least , when, what was that that rushed

away from the net? Alas! it was Jay's big trout, gone with
fly, and Jay's hopes with it. As it departed a sad, mourn-
ful expression steals over the lonely fisherman's gloomy face.

The rain, the mountain, the fish and luck are lejgued
against him to hold him up to his better half's scorn.

Darkness now covers the scene and hides him from the
frowning mountain. Slowly and sadly is the rod detached,
and in a half-hearted, lifeless way doth he meander forth
into the damp and foggy night.

That two mile walk which was so swiftly covered such a
short t me since is lengthened out so long that everybody is
in bed and all lights extinguished in the little town when Jay
reaches his hotel.

No light is lit that night in room number 14, for a poor
one-horse fisherman doth there repose.

Daylight finds him out, bright and chipper. With new
life and a uew supply of hope and vigor doth he hasten along
the track, but in an opposite direction to that of the previous
eve. Beaching a long trestle, with a glad and vigorous bound
does he strike the earth. Right merrily is the turf spurned
from heel and toe. The merry, dashing brook he is along-
side again, the fly soon spinning over its surface.

What a lovely morning it is, anyway! How bright things
look! How green the mountain sides which frowned so
gloomily the night before!

Now shall we gain the long-sought prize! Now shall the
scoffer be convinced of the wonderful piscatorial skill of her
amiable lord!

An unusually promising pool having been drawn blank {in
doggy and birdy language), Jay merrily swiDgs his flies over
a ripple in mid stream below some rapidp; there is a rush, a
strike", and we have him on the hook (or jaw). Never did
angler play a fish more carefully or scientifically than Jay
played this one (in his own mind), which after a brief but
violent struggle is brought to bag. He is a good one indeed,
but he got smaller as he got closer to Jay, and when taken in
hand, wnat had seemed a two-pound lish dwindled down to a
few ounces. But he soon has a companion a little larger but
not near so spunky. Several more casts are made here with-
out result.

Then an old fallen tree extending out over the water is
soon selected by Jay as a likely place for a rise, which judg-
ment proved good, as he has soon got a nice, gamey fellow
hooked and soon landed. Auother meets the same fate.

But this mountain air is very invigorating, aDd the inner
mania loudly demanding some attention, whereat Jay pro-
ceeds to eat his lunch, comfortably seated upon a fallen tree;
he faced towards the mountain close at hand, his attention
being attracted to a near-by shute down the mountain side,
formed ot logs. Now a log appears at the top, there U a long
rush as the huge timber roars downward, disappearing for a

second. In "another there is a rush of water in the form of
snow white spray far up in the air, like a geyser does it foam
and boil and tumble headlong back.

Another log appears towed by a team of horses, being lib-
erated it enters the shute and rushes madly down the mount-
ain side to the water below; another splash and throwing up
of spray.

Loug does our fisherman gaze upon this grand sight, till
started by a kingfisher darting noisily by, he remembers his
long unfulfilled promise and returns to his task.

Forsaking the log, Jay next wades out into the swift cur-
rent reaching well into the stream. At the second caBt a
small trout iB struck, but being under eye is carefully re-
turned to its proper element again.

Several more fruitless and fishless casts are made in this
spot. Another hole is tried with same luck. Jay is doomed
to disappointment; no fish can he catch. His time is up,
his reputation gone.

Once more must he face his fate.

Another excuse and explanation for his want of luck must
be prepare?.

Sorrowfully finding bis way back to the hotel, he approach-
es the landlady, gracefully presenting her with his forlorn
little string.

"Mein frent, dey vas mooch too leedle for mem poarders
who vas vork in de saw mills all de viles, und deir obde-
dides vas pig, alretty."

Again is our lucky fishman getting his usual dose of rocky
luck, for now he learns that no train returns to the city till
next day, but finally getting aboard a logging train he is
slowly conveyed back to the Qneeu City.

His worthy Bpouse is looking for him from a window.
"Here, none of that;" ''why don't you come in the front way
and Dot come sneaking in through the alley."

"I see you crawling over that fence there. I know you
haven't any trout. It will take you all your life to find out
you can't fish-"

Jay boldly faces the enemy. "My dear, the fish were all
small and not worth bringing home; you don't care for
trout anyway. The salmon will soon be running, and I will
bring you home lots of them (so long' one at a time in a
wheel-barrow." Jay See En.

Seattle, August 19, 1S89.

Springfield Notes.

John L. Meares and party enjoyed a successful day's fish-
ing at Svusalito on Sunday last. Mr. Meares was high hook
with 136 smelt, while another of the party caught 120 of the
same kind of fish.

In general the fishing was very poor on Sunday and dur-
ing the first part of the week, the Bay being quite rough and
muddy.

The smelt caught last Sunday were unusually small.

For good smelt fishing we wonld recommend the new
wharf at Sausalito, where the fish run larger than at any
other point around the Bay.

Alcatraz Island is becoming a very popular fishing resort.
The rock-cod in this neighborhood are large, and they
usually bite well.

As usual the old Oakland wharf was crowded with anglers
on Sunday last. At the end of the wharf some very large
rock-cod were hooked, and a lady caught a skate which
weighed over 15 lbs. People who am in the habit of fishing
off the wharf state that stingrays abound in the neighbor-
hood, and not a Sunday passes by without several of them
being captured.

In certain parts of the Buteno Creek close to the sea, large
cat-fish abound. Where these fish are, trout never appear.

The grasshopper is about the best bait that can be used
for fishing in deep and dark pools, where large mountain
trout abound. After refusing everything else, the trout will
jump at the grasshopper.

THE GUN,

At San Jose-

. A match at twenty-five Blue Rocks was shot off at San
Jose on Sunday last for a medal. Tbtf scoring as follows:
Balata, 14; F. E. Coykendall, 18; A. Inglesby, 14: George
Anderson, 17; H. J. Coykendall, 21: Jos. Delmas, 20. Mr.
H. J. Coykendall won.

Gun Club Shoot.

The San Francisco Gun Club held its monthly shoot
(seventh of season) at Adams' Point, on Saturday, the 17th
ult. The average number of members attended — eleven,
and, as usual on these occasions, a very sociable, pleasant
meeting was the result.

The birds were not by any means up to Murphy's usual
standard of excellence, taken on the average, and while a
few were really good flyers, the majority were not. The re-
sult, therefore, was an excellent score, with one exception,
and in the side match which followed the main event fifty-
seven birds were killed out of sixty. This pretty clearly in-
dicates the character of tha birds. Accompanying please
find the score of the afternoon's shooting.

The last match of this club will he held on the 7th of
September, a couple of weeks earlier than usual, so that it
will not interfere with the areangements of the members in
connection with their quail shooting trips, the open season
for all game coming in on the 10th of the above month.

The match will in all probability be followed by a dinner
of the club members, to commemorate the wind-up of the
pigeon shooting season.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The. local members of

Major Frost's rifle team have returned home. They have

been feted and dined to their heart's content in England.

The team has done grandly. Five consecutive victories over

good teams like they met in England is something for the

members of the team and their captain, Major Fiost, to be

1 proud of. The citizens of Springfield gave Messrs. Bull,

I Farns worth and Bumstead a royal welcome home. The

prizes they have won are now on exhibition in a sporting

! goods Btore.

Rifle shooting among the military shots is looking up.
j Both the City and Peabody Guards are busy at practice for
. the coming State shoot at South Farmingham.

T. B. WiIbod, the well-known rifle shot, has laid out a fine

I 500, 600 and 800 yards range for the Bod, Gun and Bifle

j Club. They haye now as frill a range aB any in the country.

Mr. T. T. Cartwright, of Florence, Mass., will 6oon visit

I California in the interest of a new hammerless gun, with l:L •

manufacture of which be is connected. I trust your readers

will welcome him cordially. For purposes of comuaiison I

send a table <^f scores recently made by Major Frosts team.

The August meeting of the club held on Saturday last at
Adam's Point was the concluding event of the club" season.
The day was fit and the birds were eood. The day's scoring
decided the ownership of the magnificent silver tankard won
a year or two ago from the Gun Club. The trophy went to
Doctor S. E. Knowles with a score of 67 out of 72 birds shot
during the season. The doctor deserves his reward. He
fcives much thought and practice to his favorite sport, and is
a sure man over the traps. Mr. C. F. Boardman of the club,
killed 66 out of 72, a close call for the pitcher. The scores
were:

A Singular Bird.

Some very entertaining reading is afforded by the answers
of several prominent gentlemen of this county to queries
propounded by the editor of the "Breeder and Sportsman"
of San Francisco, anent the subject of Mongolian pheasants
conceftiing which he had reason to believe our local sports-
men were "an fait," says the Democratic Times, of Jackson-
ville, Oregon. Col. Bowditch, of Ashland, courteously re-
sponds to the request of the "Sportsman." and in finished
diction and noncommittal fashion proceeds to tell what he
doesn't know of the subject in a most entertaining style,
carefully steering clear of anything that might show a lack of
familiarity with topics outside the limits of the law, although
hie intimation that the reason why the common hen cannot
succeBBfully rear the young of the pheasant family, is be-
cause the aforementioned hen 1b not equipped for mammi-
lian secretions, is hardly creditable to one who has been pro-
minently mentioned as a friend of a granger idea. Truly it
"places the pheasant scheme in a different light," as the
editor sententiously observes. Col. R. A. Miller, of the
Southern Oregon State Board of Agricultural handles the
subject with his usual caution, and-states that the birds are
wonderfully prolific. "When the first brood of eighteen to
twenty chicks are hatched the male takes charge of them and
another brood of from fifteen to eighteen is soon mingling
with the first."

If the season iB propitious another lot are hatched before
winter." Col. Miller also states that it ia a mooted question
about their eating wheat or destroying grain. If the two
Colonels are both right in their premise?, and the male pheas •
ant has the mammillary development complete then indeed
is the pheasant a "rara avis" and deserving of close obser-
vation. We cannot avoid the conclusion that it is a "foul"
aspersion upon the character of a deserving bird. Henry
Klippel, of Medford, in his carefully worded reply diplomati-
cally evades the question and gives well authenticated fig-
ures concerning the "salmon that run up Bogue river and
weieh from 15 to 40 pounds." Mr. KlipDel had not his" en-
cyclopedia at hand when he wrote or. he would doubtless
have been more explicit. All concur in denying that the
strange creature has effected a lodgment in this county.

held. As asaal the details of the meeting have been left with
the home clnb, the Garden City Gun Club, and the following
programme of trap eventB has been prepared. The associa-

Change in the Deer Law.

The following ordinance which will interest hunterB was
introduced and adopted at the last meeting of the Board of
Supervisors of Sonoma County:

In the rooms of the Board of Supervisors of the County of
Sonoma, State of California:

Id accordance with the provisions of an Act of. the Legis-
lature of the State of California, approved March 24, 1887,
whereby Section 636 of said Act authorizes the Board of Su-
pervisors of the several counties of this State to change the
beginning or ending of the close season named in Section
636, the Board of Supervisors of Sonoma County does ordain
as follows:

Section 1. That no person shall in this county between
the fifteenth day of October in each year and the first day of
July in the following year hunt, pursue, take, kill or destroy
any male antelope, deer or buck.

Sec. 2. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force
on and after the 15th day of October, 1889.

Passed and approved this 6th day of August, 1889, by the
following vote: —

Supervisor Cady, aye.

Supervisor Clark, aye.

Supervisor Davis, aye.

Supervisor Smith, aye.

Supervisor Allen, aye.

This change in the ending of the close season will un-
doubtedly meet with the approval of all true sportsmen, as
in this section the deer commence running in the month of
Ootober, after which time their meat is worthless and the
breeding has fairly commenced. The open season for this
species of game formerly extended from July 1st until De-
cember 15th.

Mr. Loud Emphasizes.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The issue of Angus t
24th Breeder and Sportsman has just reached me, and 1
am more than surprised, after reading the contents of Mr.
De Neven's letter. Now, Mr. De Neven is a gentleman and
a scholar, and a very well posted sportsman, and how he can
write such a letter I cannot understand, and after calling his
attention to this statement about the Mongolian pheasant
cock taking the chicks after hatching, he acknowledged to
me that he did not believe this himself, but merely wrote it
from hearsay. Now, again, Mr De Neven says the Mongo-
lian pheasant as a game bird is second to none, and a little
farther on he says they will not lie to the dog. Now, gen-
tlemen and brother sportsmen, this is all we want to know
and all I have been trying to p ove that they were not a
game bird, and if there is one sportsman that thinks they
are I will invite him to pay me a visit and I feel sure he will
go away satisfied that my statemeut is true. I will not dis-
cuss the qualities of the bird as table food. I have had the
pleasure of tasting many kinds, and I must say the little
bob white is good enough for me.

For the past few days I have had the pleasure of hirnting
with Mr. M. Drummond, from Davisville, Cal., a gentleman
and a fine shot, and one who koowswhat a game bird is, and
let me say light here it is a cold day when e grouse geta
away from him after his butt plate bits his shoulder. We
spent about three hours in the field togetheryesterday shoot-
ing over Rome.i and a Llewellin dog owned by Mr. Gerber of
Sacramento, Cal. Our bag counted twenty-two, nineteen

grouse and three native pheasants, and Mr. Drummond will
bear me out in my statements about the gameness of the
Mongolian pheasant, as he has seen to his entire satisfaction
that they will uot lie to a dog, and the only way to find this
out is in the field and over a well broken dog. If this bird
was allowed to breed at Bakersfield. in less than two years
the hoys would offer ten dollars bounty'on each head bagged
to rid the country of them. A few more remarks and I am
done. Brother sportsmen, the statements I have made have
been after a careful study of the habits of this bird in the field
with a well broken dog, and not from hearsay or from farm-
ers that never saw a dog point a game bird. The proof of
the pudding is in chewing tbe string. I would like to hear
something about the country around Bakersfield, as I am
anxious to locate where there is a good opportunity to work
my dogs on quail and to rningle among true sportsmen. Be-
fore I close let me say, Mr. Editor, the latch string to our
little home hangs out to you and to all brother sportsmen.

C. A. Loud,
Corvallis, Or., Aug. 26th, 1889.

Messrs. Edward Fay and Crittenden Robinson shotra prac-
tice mutch at Birds Point on Thursday last, and made ex-
traordinary scores, whieh will be given next week- Mr. Fay
is in championship form, and when his match with Mr. C.
J. Haas of Stockton comes off, there will be a battle of giants,
Mr. Haas is the California wing shooting Club champion
for the year, bot if Mr. Fay shoots up to his practice form
only a clean score can wiD.

We shall be pleased to receive from onr brethren at Bakers-
field some descriptions of the facilities afforded in that sec-
tion to lovers of field spoits in answer to Mr. Loud's qneries,
which appears el- e where. Our recollection is that the
s-portsmen of the town are about the keenest, most cordial,
and friendly men we have known and that the opportunities
for shooting are unequalled. If Mr. Loud can be satisfied
with good meats, splendid fruits, quails, cottontails, English
snipe, ducks, deer, trout and plain fare like that he will soon
fall in love with Bakersfield.

We make a few excerpts from a note received from Mr.
Will A. Perry "Silalicuin," of Seattle. He says: "When
on ouijclab huuM n Eastern Wasti ]gton Territory in'S7, I be-
came overheated chasing the festive John Rabbit over the
bunch grass hills of Palouse, caught a severe cold that settled
on my luDgs, and, as our tribe is give to consumption, I
thought that the stamp of him of the white horse was on me,
or, as the vulgar express it, my "name was Dennis." But
friend, J. C. Nattrass, who is a successful druggist and per-
haps has more knowledge of lung complaints than many doe-
tors, took me in charge, and as a result has produced one of
the fattest, and I blush to write it, the laziest man on the
A merican Continent. But now I am going to reform. T owe
til the sportsman's journals a debt of gratitude and shall soon
begin to square my account. As soon as the game law is off,
Nattrass and I are going up to the Sumas." [We hope "Sila-
licum" may wax even fatter, and live long in the land, to en-
tertain and instruct his fellow sportsmen whose opportuni-
ties for shooting and fishing are less favorable.]

The Cropping: Question.

The question most discussed just now in kennel circles is
whether dogs shall be cropped in future, or left in natural
condition.

Mr, J. Sidney Turner, of the English Kennel Club, initi-
ated the discussion, and gives the history of the resolution:

Previously to the general meeting held at the Kennel
Club Winter Show at Alexandria Park in February, 1SS9, I
had given notice, both verbally and in writing, that I would
propose the following: "That any dog born after July 1st,
1889, which has been cropped shall be ineligible to compete
for aDy prize at any show held under Kennel Club rules."
As this was by some inadvertence not put upon the agenda
paper, I brought it forward in committee {vide Kennel
Gazette, February, 1889). It was thought by Mr. Shirley
and others who were present that, as the question was a
very important one, it should be placed on the agenda paper
of the next committee meeting, and every member would
have time to consider, and the committee could deal with it
as was thought best; consequently, it was again brought for-
ward at the committee meeting held at the Kennel Club on
March 5, to apply to Kennel Club Shows only. I stated at
this meeting that "in first framing this resolution it applied
to all shows held under Kennel Club rules; but, on its being
pointed out that such an alteration of a rule could only be
made at a general meeting, I had altered tbe resolution to
apply to Kennel Clnb shows only" (vide Kennel Gazette,
March, 1889). Mr. Percy C. Reid at this meeting said he
was decidedly averse to cropping, but he considered the com-
mittee should be guided by, the general wish of exhibitors.
But he chit fly objected to the resolution owing to its extreme-
ly limited action.

Whatever decision was arrived at it ought to be binding
on all shows held under Kennel Club rules, and not on their
own two annual shows only. But to do this the resolution
must be passed at a general meetiDg of the Kennel Club,
aud he therefore suggested that the whole question should be
postponed until the general meeting at the summer show,
and meanwhile the secretary should obtain the views of all
members of the Kennel Club and of exhibitors generally on
the subject." Mr. Shirley said "He was of opinion that tbe
Kennel Club should gn into the question in a thoroughly
practical manner, should take means to rind out the views of
all interested in the subject, and if the opinion of the ma-
jority was against cropping, he for one would cheerfully sup-
port any measure for stopping it." After discussion and the
leading* of petitions from various specialist clubs and ex-
hibitors for and against cropping, it was decided that the
whole question of "cropping shall be deferred to the general
meeting of the Kennel Club next winter; and that meanwhile
all breeds that are usually cropped sball have clashes given
them for uncropped specimens in addition at tbe two next
ensuing shows of the Kennel Club. As the annual general
meeting is held in the winter only, and it seemed to me and
others that this question should "be decided sooner than that
time, I wrote a letter to Mr. ABpinall to give notice that at

the committee meeting to be held in April I should propose
that a special general meeting of the clnb be held at the
Kennel Club's Summer Show to consider the advisability of
not allowing any dog cropped after the dute of such show to
compete at any show held under Kennel Club rules, etc.
The etc. referred to illegality, and win withdrawn. As
amended, the resolution was carried nem. con. (Rev. G. F.
Lovell being present).

Mr. Percy Reid proposed "that the Secretary be instructed
to issue a circular to all members of the Kennel Club, etc,"
which was also carried nem. con. Now it will be seen that
the resolution which I proposed at this meeting was that a
special general meeting be held to consider the advisability of
stopping cropping, and referred to my previous resolution,
which had been so often before the committee. It would
have been better if the original resolution had been printed
on the agenda paper for the general meeting, but Mr. Aspin-
all took the wording of my letter to him, wherein I referred
to the original relolntion in general terms. However, "to
consider the advisability of not allowing cropping," or to con-
sider the question whether cropping shall be allowed or not
allowed, seems to me to be so near the same thing that only
those who receive a special training for unravelling the twist
of a spider's thread (for astronomical transit purposes) could
diBsect out and discover any difference.

Splitting hairs is a clumsy pastime compared to it. I
think we may take it that everyone who attended the meet-
ing knew what was the intention. If the Great Dane Club
members did not, why did they hold a meoting and pass
their curious resolution, which read as if my proposal were
not comprehensive enough for them? But they certainly
did not mean this. I do uot profess to be a master of the
rules of debate, but it is certainly new to me that an amend-
ment cannot be proposed to any resolution — if it bear upon
the subject — whether it is stated or not in the agenda that
amendments may be proposed; and I think Mr. Shirley wbb
quite right in ruling as he did. In conclusion, may I add
that I hope no words of mine have given offence to anyone,
and that 1 feel sure that those who disagreed with me were
actuated by motives as high and honorable as those which
in — forme— an unlucky moment tempted me to bring for-
ward this question, on which I feel "materiem non superabat
opus."

A fine fox hound bitch is offered for sale in the adver-
tising columns. She was shown on the bench in May last
and won. At the price asked, she is a bargain.

Mr. H. F. Littlefield of Lake View Kennels, Worcester,
Mass., a leading breeder of pure collies, writes us that the
interest in tbe breed is increasing fast in this section. It
would be gratifying if as much could be said for California.
The man who first brings to the State and Bhows a really
good collie will sweep the bench.

Mr. W. G. Hay sends from far away Saginaw, Mich., some
pictures, which are highly appreciated. Mr. Hay owns
some excellent English setters, and is eothus;astic in train-
ing and using them. While in San Fiancisco a few weeks
ago, he more than half promised to attend the field trials in
January nest and bring along a dog or two. We hope he may
do so, and that he may induce some friends to accompany
him. Mr. Hay writes: "We will have no duck shooting
this year, as the water is very low, and we have no rice. I
had a good deal of sport the other day with my old setter on
woodcock, but only bagged two, not because I did not see
more, but because I only needed the pair."

Mr. W. E. Houghton writes from Bakersfield, "Our party
has just returned from the Mount Whitney trip— the para-
dise of trout and grand scenery. No doubt Henry Borg-
wardt and Dan. Leonard have told you that we took a pho-
tographer with us. We have about seventy-five views that
cannot be exoelled. Six of our party went to the summit of
Whitney, Ike L. Miller among the number, and a picture
was taken of the group — on the highest point in tbe United
States. You must go up there — you do uot know what you
have missed all these years. Get Mr. Schreiber up to his
speed and make him go, too. I would like to see Will Kittle
and Ed. Bosqui join suoh a party. Yon know I have been
up there five times now, and I am conceited enough to think
I am the boss guide. How would yon enjoy a half day visit-
ing the most beautif nl scenery in the world (no exaggeration),
and two hundred trout to your credit at the same time?
Such is in store for you, and I repeat, that it is your duty in
your journalistic capacity to give the sporting world the ben-
efit of what opportunities California holds out. I returned
before the rest. Ike Miller had the good sense to leave the
party for a ten day's loneer stay, and while I am writing
from this parched and dusty rebuilding city, I have no doubt
he is landing a four-pound trout up in Paradise. I have a
good many sins to figure up when I make up my earthly
balance sheet, but if I mention this coming home first, Peter
won't ask for any more— it will be a clear case."

[Thanks for suggestions. It really does seem that duty
leads to Mt. Whitney, and we can imagine no more capable
or delightful guide and companion than Mr. Houghton.
Messrs. Schrieber, Kittle and Bosqui, may note the invitation
and act in accord with it. A four-pound mountain trout is
a magnet that suffices to draw us any distance on the level,
whether it would nerve for ascent to the highest point in
America remains to be seen. We hear, too, that deer abound
in the seotion referred to, and have often wondered that tour-
ist sportsmen do not take the Mt. Whitney trip. By going
to Bakersfield, they could learn from Mr. Houghton every,
thing about preparations for the trip, in fact could outfit
there, and get guides, etc. We hope to see some of the pic-
tures made on the recent trip.— Ken. Ed.]

The Santa Rosa Meeting.

The. existence of the Sonoma County Agricultural
Park Association has almost come to an end, and at the
close of the meeting of last week the members find them-
8elves with an indebtedness of $2,000 or more to un-
load. The Association gave good races; there is no ques-
tioning that fact. They were races which, in the neigh-
borhood of a city, would have drawn a good crowd. At
Santa Eosa they did not. There was not even a fair
attendance any day, and the gate receipts did not pay
for the purses alone, not to speak of the other expenses
attendant upon a meeting. The reason for this lack of
attendance was not simply indifference to racing, but
there was something underneath. Not only did the peo-
ple of Santa Rosa Btay away from the track, but they
did everything in their power to keep other people away
and to^ihrow a damper upon the meeting. They succeed-
ed in their intent, and succeeded further in putting some
of the best men in the county into debt. The Associa-
tion was not giviDg meetings for money; they were
willing to risk their money for the sake of the sport
which was open to all to eDjoy, and yet, because tho
Directors chose to conduct their meetings as they saw fit,
and not as the town — who had no money in it — wanted
them run, the town set itself up in virtuous antagonism
to the Association. It has been the custom for towns to
great to its associations every public privilege which
could assist in the success of the meetings. Santa Eosa
did not do this.

On the contrary, it raised privilege licenses, refused
to close its stores or give its workingmen half-holidays,
and, in fact, did everything possible to bury the idea
that there was a race meeting going on in the town.
There is no doubt that the town profited by the meeting.
They always do, because the racing brings together a
class of men who spend their money freely, but who
would probably never see the town unless a race meet-
ing should be in progress. A large number of horses
have been stabled at the track for the past two or three
months in preparation for the races. Supplies for horses
and men came from the Santa Eosa merchants, and
these same merchants did not even give their clerks a
chance to attend the races.

The whole story of the failure of the meeting lies in
the vindictive action of the business people of Santa
Eosa. Tbey reaped the benefits of the meeting without
contributing anything to it. They have killed the goose
which has been laying a very rich golden egg for them,
and in time they will see their foolish error, and when
the race track has been converted into a sheep ranch
they will realize what they have lost and will be sorry
that they did not stand by the association instead of an-
tagonizing it.

The pedigree given in the catalogue of the auction rale on

AFFIDAVIT! OF LEE SHANER.

Petaluma. August 27, 1889.

I was present at the anotion held by Killip & Co. for Mr.
Henry Seales at Mayfield on November 17, 1886, being at
that time in charge of Mr. Seales' trotters. I know the
yearling bought by Mr. Frank Burke at that sale. The pedi-
gree as given in the catalogue at that time was erroneous, as
I know that that filly was out of Accident (she by Elmo).

The mistake occured while separating the colts prior to
the making out of the catalogues; those that were to be
reserved from the ?ale were put in one field, while those that
were to be catalogued were retained in the corral. Through
mistake the filly out of Accident was put among thoBe to be
catalogued instead of the bay yearling colt by Fallis, out of
Girofte, that Mr. Seales had intended to dispose of at that
sale.

I have seen the filly Wanda, aud believe from the form of
her jaw and hook and general appearance, that it is the same
filly out of Accident, as all of her coltj had a particular
shaped jaw, throttle and hock that could not be mistaken.

Samoa, by Fallis, out of Girofle, sold in San Francisco as
a four-year-old in 1889 by the Seales Estate, is the one that
was to have been sold instead of Wanda at the November sale
of 1886.

Bros, the Sire of Wanda.

Last week we published a letter from Mr. Lowell of
Sacramento in reference to the pedigree of "Wanda, 2:24,
that gentleman claiming she v as by Fallis, while the
proprietor of the mare had given her breeding as being
by Bras. The communication has produced the follow-
ing from Frank H. Burke, which was also accompanied
by the affidavits given below. In view of the testimony
given, we think that the paternity of the mare is estab-
lished beyond a doubt.

F. P. Lowell's letter in your issue of August 24th, claiming
for Fallis the honor of being the first soli of Electioneer to
produce a 2:30 trotter in my four-year old filly Wanda, 2:24,
I beg leave to produce the affidavits aud proofs of the claim
I make of her being by my Electioneer stallion Eros, which
I think will convince Mr. Lowell and all fair-minded persons
that he is mistaken in this matter, though quite naturally
so, but he, above all others, must know the number of er-
rors and discrepancies in pedigrees, etc. that will creep into
hastily gotten up auction catalogues.

San Francisco, Aug. 26, 1859.
On November 17, 1886, my firm sold at auction at May-
field, Santa Clara County, to Frank H. Burke a bay filly
marked No. 36 on the catalogues, and stated to be by Fallis
out of Girofle. At the close of the sale Mr. Henry Seales
told me that this filly was sold by mistake and was uot bred
as stated in the catalogues, and desired me to see at what
figure it could be repurchased from Mr. Burke

On February 28, 1S89, I sold by order of the executors of
Henry W. Seales, at San Francisco, at auction, the four-
year-old bay geldiug Samoa sired by Fallis, first dam Giro-
fle, to J. Howard Smith of Berkeley, being the same sire and
dam and year of foaling as was represented to be the breeding
of thefilly sold to Mr. hurke in 18S6.

AFFIDAVIT OF GEORGE ELKINS.

I was in the employ of Mr. Henry Seales, of Mayfield
prior to November 17th, 1886, the date of an auction, at which
time Mr. Frank Burke bought a yearling filly put down in
the catalogue as by Fallis out of Girofle, the sale of this
filly being made through a mistake, as the intention was to
sell the yearling colt by Fallis out of Girofle, but the colts
were wrongly separated prior to making up the catalogues. I
know the filly he got was out of Accident, and not out of
Girofle.

Mr. Seales and John Cunningham (the men in charge of
the brood mares for years) slated that the filly bought by Mr.
Burke was by Eros.

San Francisco, August 26th, 1889.

I was present at the auction of a portion of Mr. Seales'
stock sold at Mayfield on November 17th, 1S86. I saw the
filly bought by Mr. Frank Burde at that sale, then catalogued
as by Fallis out of Girofle, foaUd in 18S5; I have seen this
filly at least twice a month ever since, and know that she is
called Wanda.

Mr. Henry Seales on several occasions attempted to buy
the filly from Mr. Burke through me and failing in this told
me in 188S, at the State Fair, (when he made the last attempt
to buy her) that skr was by Eros and out of Accident which
is by Elmo. w. H. Vioget.

THURSDAY,

The third day of the meeting had a larger attendance than
any previous day. The grand stand, betting sheds and paddock
were literally packed with people, the crowd all anxions for
the three-year-old trot. The day was begun with a b've-
eighths dash between. CockrilPs br h Captain Al, Kingston —
Black Maria, and Billy Donathan's ch h Hubbard Earl, by
"Wildidle, dam unknown. Hubbard Earl was favorite, selling
at $25 to $9 for Captain Al. Taylor, on Captain Al, carried
116 pounds, five pounds overweight. They were sent off to
a good Btart. . The favorite was half a length in front coming
around the turn. Captain Al tired at the head of the straight
and the favurite came on and won easily by four lengths in
1:04}.

There waB a feeliDg of half suppressed excitement pervad-
ing the atmosphere abont the stables and among the horse-
men when the bell tapped, calling out the three-yeir-olds.
That it was to be a race for blood no one doubted for a
moment. It was Electioneer and the thoroughbred cross
against Guy Wilkes, the whole Wilkes family and the purely
bred trotter. Margaret S. was in fairly good fix, but her late
Bickness prevented her being put in proper trim for a bruis-
ing race. The other two were tit to race for a man's life, and
they were perfect pictures of a horseman's dream when they
passed through the gate and jogged out upon the track. The
track was fast, and during the night had undergone special
preparation for the great event, and some of the hardness had
been taken out of it. Marvin, Goldsmith and McDowell were
of course the pilots. I saw each of the drivers before the
race, and inquired as to the conditions of the siarters. Mar-
vin said "the filly is all right;" Goldsmith had the same thing
to say of his charge, and McDowell said Margaret was not
good but still not bad. ,

It was the betting event of the day, and a pile of money
went into the boxes, Snnol of course selling favorite, bring-
ing $50, Lillian Wilkes §25, and Margaret S. §5. In the
matuals it was Sunol and the field, with plenty of backers
for the Palo Alto filly, every boy in the stable putting up his
little screw upon the pride of the place. Sunol came out
first, and as she jogged up the straight her beautiful golden
brown coat shining and glistening in the afternoon sun like
a handsome piece of satin, three thousand pairs of eyes
watched her closely, and noted the smooth, gliding gait
which marks the perfection of speed and action,

Margaret S. next showed up, and there were many
warm comments upon the- good mare. Goldsmith was last
out with Lillian Wilkes. She, too, presented a handsome
appearanoe, going steadily along with that machine-like gait
which has already carried her around the circle in 2:18.

Sunol had the pole, Lillian Wilkes was second and Margar-
et S. third. They scored but twice and then La Rue gave
them the word. They went off with Sunol slightly in ad-
vance, but, going into the turn, Lillian Wilkes made a bad
break, and before she got down Sunol and Margaret S. were
at the quarter post in 34 seconds, BudoI trotting smoothly
and without effort, Margaret S. a length behind her. Going
down the backstretch Margeret S. on the outside went np to
Sunol's wheel and at the half was at her flank. Lillian Wilkes
got down near the quarter and came on last, over a distance
and a half behind the leaders. Marvin took Sunol well to
the front on the lower turn and then waited for Lillian
Wilkes. In the straight Sunol drew away to three lengths
lead and finished in the slowest kind of a jog, Margaret S.
three lengths back, and Lillian Wilkes two lengths inside the
distance flag. Time, 2:2H. Quarters, :33|, \m\. 1:46.

Second Heat — Sunol went away out of sight in the auc-
tions, selling at $25 to $5 for the field, with few takers for
the field The three cooled o-it well and came to the score
all the better for the heat. Once, twice, three times they
scored, and then went off, Sunol leading Margaret stopped
on her wheel, a*d Lillian Wilkes a length behind. When
tbey strung out on the turn Sunol was an open length first,
Margaret S. second, and Lillian Wilkes the same distance
back. These were the positions at the head of the back-
stretch. Then Goldsmith began to move Lillian up. A
hundred yards from the quarter she lapped Margaret S,
half way down she had collared the Director filly and passed
her. When the half was reached Lillian Wilkes was at
Sunol's wheel and both going like the wind. They drew
away from Margaret S as if she were standing still. On the
turn Sunol went a good length in front and had that much
lead at the head of the straight. Lillian Wilkes commenced
to crawl up. Sunol went faster; so did Lillian Lillian
still gained. Half way home from the three quarters Lillian
had her head at the favorite's wheel. Marvin leaned away
over in his sulky and rai-ed his whip. He held it poised for
a moment as if undecided, then the lash came down The
filly spurted forward. Lillian was with her. The Wilkes
filly, with a burst of lightning speed, got to the favorites
flank. Then the lash fell again and again Sunol swerved
from the pole. Thirty yards from the wire they were even;
then Lillian shoved her head in front and went un-
der the wire first by a length and a half. Margaret
S was just inside the red flag. Time bv quarters,
341, i:ioi, 1:45. 2:17|. The people yelled them-
selves hoarse as the finish was made, and "Lillian wius!
Lillian wins!" was the great cry that went up from the
densely packed grand stand.

Third Heal.— There was a rush for the betting shed and
the money poured in. The greatest chop in record was the
result. Lillian Wilkes was sold as favorite against the field,
bringing a steady price of S90 against $32, the big double
eagles coming up on the auction counter in handfuls. By
nnd bye Lillian sold with Margaret at $50 against $15 for
Sunol. They had five scores before they got off, with Mar-
g-iret S. having the best of the go. Sunol went to the fore in
the turn a length a head of Margaret and two open lengths
from Lillian, Margaret closed up and was even with Sunol
at the qnarter, and Lillian three lengths back, broke. There
was a cry from the crowd. Sunol went into the backstretch
with Margaret at her neck. Lillian got her feet again just
past the quarter and was a good six lengths behind. Sunol
drew away from Margaret and passed the half, two lengths to
the good of her and seven lengths away from Lillian Wilkes.
Goldsmith began to drive his filly in the lower turn. She
walked np on Margaret and passed her. Then she started
for Sonol, three lengths away at the head of the straight.
Marvin was already driving Sunol and kept throwing his
head around each time to Bee Lillian Wilkes crawling up.
Half way home, when Lillian was at her wheel, Sunol again
got the whip, and for once she could not iespond, Lil-
lian came on like a machine, regular, level and sure. Marvin
gave the filly two or three sharp cuts in a lost effort, but she
tired and was no more in it, quitting dead away. Marvin
pulled her her up and Lillian Wilkes went under eapy. Mar-
garet S. was two lengths inside the flag. Time by quarters,

0:35, l:10i, 1:46 and 2:22. The crowd went* wild. Sunol
went back to ber stall ia ha 1 si-ape, and diy as a bone.
They couldn't get a scrape out of her.

Fourth Heat— Pools sold, Field Sob, Sunol $5. They scored
twice and got the word. ThiB time Lillian went off into the
turn in the lead, Sunol second, Margaret S. third. They
went around tha turn very slow at the quarter, Lillian was a
length to the good and Margaret S. and Sunol were together.
Down the backstretch Sunol got up to Lillian's wheel, Mar-
garet S. at her wheel. In thiB order they reached the half,
then Marvin moved Sunol up faster. He got her to Lillian's
flank and then to her head, and they rounded into the
straight on even terms. Margaret S. came up near them and
the three in a bunch trotted for home, Sunol doing her best,
but Lillian Wilkes well in hand. They reached the drawgate
with Sanol and Lillian head and head, then the three drivers
drew their whips. The fillies were tired, but Lillian Wilkes
had more in her in reserve, and under a hard drive she won
the deciding heat by two lengths, Marvin drawing up. Mar-
garet S. finished third close up to Sunol. Time, 2:25. There
never was a blanker looking crowd than Sunol's backers
after the race. That the filly would be beaten no one dreamed.
2:?7 Class,

The 2:27 class, purse SSOO, was the next thing on the card,
and it furnished some close finishes. The starters were E.
B. Gifford's blk m Belle B., T. Rocuford's b m Emma Tem-
ple, and M. Salisbury's b m Hazel Kirke. In the first heat
Hazel Kirke was the only thing in it, and took the lead at the
start and held it all the way, winning easily in 2:26^, Emma
Temple second and Belle B. third. The second heat was
more interesting. Hazel Kirke went off in the lead, followed
by Emma Temple. Tbe two were four lengths apart all the
way to the head of the straight, when Temple began to close
np. She Bteadily gained on the leader, and under the whip
they went under the wire nose and nose. It was a dead heat.
In the third, Hazel Kirke again led Temple to the straight.
Then Temple made her rush as before and took the heat by a
length in 2:23A. Belle B. made no showing in either heat.
The fourth heat was taken by Emma Temple, she leading to
the lower turn, where Hazel Wilkes closed up and they trot-
ted to the straight and down to the drawgate like a team.
Then Emma Temple drew awav under the whip and snatched
the heat by half a length in 2:26, Hazel Kirke second. Belle
B. third.

Belle B. went for the fifth heat and led at the bottom of tbe
stretch. She fell back with a break, and Emma Temple cut
in and fouled her, causing the drivers nearly to come to blows
after the race. Belle B. went to pieces and left Hazel Kirke
and Emma Temple to fight it out. It was an even race all
the way up the stretch, Emma winning in the last ten yards.
Time, 2:26$.

Special Trot — Two-y tar- olds.

A special trot for L. J. Rose's b m Mista and Palo Alto's b
c Delmar closed the day's events. The first heat was taken
easily by Mista, Delmar acting badly and breakiugcontinually.
Time, 2:34£. Mista also got the second heat; Delmar broke
on the turn and lost too much ground to recover, and Mista
trotted on alone, Delmar breaking half a dozen times in the
nrle, and landing just inside his distance. Time, 2:29.

Continuation of Chico Races.

THURSDAY.

A large and enthusiastic crowd turned out to witness the
day's sport. The first race, a district pacing (with no record)
was won by Wapple. John L. had the race won in the fourth,
but was driven to a break when seven lengths in front on the
upper turn, Wapple taking that and the fifth heat easily. A
vigorous kick was made by the John L party that Wapple
had a record, but as his was a trotting record the race was of
course given to him.

The half mile and repeat was supposed to be a certainty
for Eve, but sh6 quit badly after the first heat, and Gray,
who judiciously laid up the first heat, won the next easily,
The milewas deemed a certainty for Applause, but Stephenson
sitting still all the way, was caught napping, Dan Dennison,
riding a slashing race on Hotspur, making a dead heat on the
first. The judges put fiowson up in the run-off, and the
veteran led half a length to the six furlong pole, and then
drew out, winning cleverly by an open length.

First Heat — After scoring up several times, they were sent
off, Wapple and Lady Tolman cutting out the work to the
quarter, where the mare broke dropping back, while John L.
closed up to within four lengths at the half, and keeping up
the pace was only a length behind at the head of the stretch
and both driven hard . John L. won by a head, Wapple second,
the other two just inside the flag. Time, 2:27k

Second Heat — Auction pools, Wapple $15, John L. §10,
Field $4. When let go, Wapple went out leading JohnL.
four lengths at the quarter, Lady Tolmau who was third
broke bady, falling away back. Wapple kept going right out
winning by five lengths, the other two distanced. Time, 2:27.

Third Heat — Aoc'ion pools: Wapple $15, John L. $5,
They were tapped off at the third attempt, Wapple leading an
open length to the distance, when he broke, running under
tbe wire two length* in front. The heat was to John L.
Time, 2:24k

Fourth Heal— Auction pooU: Wapple $10, John L. $12.
Wapple led a length and a half on the turn, but breaking,
was forty yards behind; he closed up a little on the back-
stretch, and John L. driven to a break en the upper turn,
was passed and beaten out easily four leDgths. Time, 2:32k

Fifth Heal — No pools. John L broke on the first turn,
Wapple going on forty yards in front won easily by five
lengths. Time, 2:34k

CHICO.

On SoDday morning, after an interesting conversation
with President Crawford, who has been the baekbooe of the
"Willows meeting, in which he said that he hoped nest year
to have a State appropriation for Glenn Connty (with Willows
as the county seat), we took a special stage for Chico, pass-
ing through the Glenn Ranch for miles, nntil we reached
Jacinto, on the Sacramento River, the headquarters of the
Glenn Eanch. Everything was life and activity, the river
boats loading with grain, of which there is great quantities
stored on the river bank, and being a day of rest on the
ranch, the hands were enjoying their holiday in the little
town.

After changing horses we followed the river for several
miles on the dustiest road on earth, and then crossed the
river, aDd with the slight breeze blowing across the road, had
a pleasant drive to Chico, passing through part of the Eeavis'
Eanch. After a bath, an inspection of the track found sis-
teen horses already there, principally local, with the excep-
tion of Kings from Broodland, amoDg which was a good-
looking bay, four years old, by imp. Lyon's Lawrence, dam
by Billet, out of a sister to Lake Blackburn. Lyon's Law-
rence is by Vedette, out of Lucca by Scottish'CUitf . It looked
singular to see a horse with Buch a regal pedigree practically
unknown here, but he was bought from Mr. Fergusson in
Kentucky by J. B. HaggiD, and when suffering from dis-
temper was sold to the King Bros , and has not beeu worked
nntil this year; he is now in pretty fair trim, considering
that he served upwards of thirty mares this season. The
Grass Valley contingent came in on the 6:30 train with Eabe
Hotspur, Applaase, Eva W.t Redwood, Thapsin and others,
while a host more are expected to-night and to-morrow.
The courteous secretary, Jo. D. Sproul, says the stalls are
already more than tilled or spoken for, and there is every
prospect of one of the best fairs ever held in Chico.

horse I ever saw, his back being good, while his head does
not show any traces of his great age, and he is as agile and
playful as a kitten. The Holsteins and Devons were also
much admired, e^peeiallj7 the former, fourteen head having
been sent from Senator Stanford's Nira Ranch. The trotting
in two of the events (district) was rather tame. The 2:40
class was ultimately productive of a good race as Dennison
was given first money without trotting Rabe, in order to
give a better contest, all the other owners being agreeable.
Almonta was then made favorite, but Redwood took the first
heat, Almonta the next, and then Dan Dennison, who was
driving Addie, turned loose, taking the next three. In the
last heat Eedwood was driven by "Wilber Smith, but made no
better showing than before.

The judges and timers were the same, excep* that C. H.
Merrill took Chas. Sherman's place in the timers' stand. Jo,
D. Sproul again officiated as Clerk of Scales and Course, etc#

District Three-year-olds.

First Heat— No pools sold. At the second attempt they
received the word, Annie trotting steadily, while Tart broke
before reaching the turn, doping back forty yards. The
mare went on easily, and was pulled to a walk under the
wire five lengths in front. Time, 2:57^.

Second Heat— They were let go at the third attempt and
Tart again breaking on the turn the heat was simply a repeti-
tion of the hist, Annie winning easily by four lengths. Time,
2:54£.

Third Heat— The pair "received the word at the second at-
tempt, Tart again breaking on the turn, was ten lengths be-
hind at the^ quarter, but closed op to within three, up the
backstretch, owing to Annie breaking a bad break. Annie
settled down, joggiDg home, winning byahead, Merr.ll draw-
ing it very fine. Time, 2:54.

Chico track is one of the oldest and most celebrated in the
State, as the above legend (with the old triangle) on the
judges' Btand shows. This year the Btalls were tilled before-
hand and several outside stables engaged. The opening day
was not as good as it ought to have been, the district horse3
having almost all been drawn out. Neither of;them were
anything like a race, distance being waived in both, which
were won in very hollow style. In the six furlongs and repeat
the local talent all backed Menlo, while the Sacramento and
Grass Valley contingent would only hear of Applause, making
him a red-hot favorite, and right worthily did the gallant son
of Three Cheers carry the money. In the first heat he was
never extended, running easily in 1:16, with Hotspur and
Menlo ridden hard all the way. In the second he came back
in the same time, with his head shaking and his mouth wide
open, Johnny Gray second, Howson having judiciously laid
up the first heat. The judges were President VV. A. Shippee,
Col. W. Hawkins, and T. P. Hendricks. TimerB, J. J. Eea-
vis and Chas. Sherman. Starter, "W. Billups.

Two-year-old, District, Trotting.

First Heat. — No pools sold. At the third attempt they
were turned loose. Both broke twice before reaching the
quarter, and the colt, settling down, trotted away, winning
easily by thirty yards. Time, 2:59i.

Second Heat. — At the second attempt they received the
word. The colt broke on the turn, but catching cleverly
drew out, and going on,, won in a jog by a hundred and twen-
ty yards.

tells a reporter that he has just received an offer by wire to
trot Nelson against the famous California stallion Stamboul

Ntlson will probably be gotten into shape and started for
California as soon as the fall races are over in the East.
Mr. Nelson has juBt received and declined an offer of $50,000
for hiB etalhon, and is exceedingly enthusiatic over the work
of the horse thus far.

Gentlemen:— We have used Ossidine for the past two years
and consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone
tnd Spavins; there iB nothing equals it; and for us it effected a
permanent cure where firing failed, although perfoi med by one of
the most successful veterinarians on the continent. We have
recoil i men dad it to others with like success, and believe it has
more merit than anv blister ever used.

Very respectfully yours, S. A. BROWNE Jt Co., Prop's.

This scientific preparation is an absolute
cure for all bony or callous lumps on horses,
and is a more powerful absorbent than "fir-
ing," without creating the slightest blemish.
Altera few applications the excrescence is so
palpably reduced that even the skeptical
frankly acknowledge that it is by far the most
valuable outward remedy for horses ever in-
vented.

I have long usedit in my stables, and find it to be all
that 1b claimed for it in removingcallous and unnatural

to everv stable. Yours respectfully.

FRIDAY.

Judges for the day, Messrs. La Hue, Crane and Meoham.
There was an immense crowd in attendance upon the foarth
day, but the races were not up to the average of the week,
because there were no contests. It all went oneway, the
favorites taking everything, and taking it easily.

Running — Three-quarters of a mile aud repeat.

The first event was a £ and repeat in which Bruce Cock-
rill's b m Daisy D , a, Wheatley — Black Maria, ridden by
Taylor, at 125 poands and G. Pacheco's b m Julia P , a,
Wheatley— Mercedes, ridden by Kenealley at 116. It was a
"oinch" for Daisy. In both hi ats she had the lead from start
to finish and won with the utmost ease. Time, 1 :20 and 1 :22 \.
Daisy sold in a few pools at $25 to $5.

Trotting, District Three-Year-Olds.

The district three-year-old trot had but two starters, Fred
Loeber's c m Directa and Tom Smith's b c Geo. Washington.
The trotting men saw a winner in George Washington and
backed him in the auctions at $25 to $18.

First Heat. The word found them going unsteadily, and
when they sivungiuto the turn Washington lost his feet,
and while he was getting down the filly went away and took
a long lead. Down the backstretch and into the lower turn
she had it all her own way, bat when they got well into the
turn Washington slowly crowded up. The straight found
her three lengths in the lead, but coming home he out-
speeded the filly and took the heat, forcing her off her feet
when they were head and head and almost at the wire. Many
thought it a dead heat. Time, 2:30J.

Second Beat. Pools sold, Washington $25, Direota $18.
Washington had the best of the go and went off steadily,
taking a good lead on the tnrn. He held it down the back-
stretch and around the lower turn. When they came into
the straight Washington was on his toes, while the filly, go-
ing smoothly, was gaining npoi him. It was a raoe home,
Directa closing the gap at every stride. She made a spurt
just past the drawgate, and with a rush snatched! the heat.as
Washington almost had it now. Time, 2:31i.

Third Heat. Pools sold, Washington $25, Directa $10.
Directa went off in the* lead and held it nicely to the lower
turn, but as she swung into the circle and had the heat half
won her overoheck broke, aud the accident caused her to
make a tangled break. Washington went by her and she
was no more in it. the horse coming home and finishing first
by ten lengths in 2:34.

Fourth Heal — Directa had done her work, and the result
was known before they got the word. The filly went off
first around the turn at a slow pace, Smith laying Washing-
ton back. He allowed the filly the lead until the home-
Btretch was reached; thence gave Washington his head aud
passed to the lead an easy winner in 2:3-1. The horse was fit
for a race and could have gone a mile away down in the
twenties.

The Dext event had in it A. A. Gnerne's b s Alfred, G. A.
J. Zaue's gr m Clar-i Z and A. McFadyen'a b s Redwood, and
Alfred G. won it in straight heats. It was no rice as in
point of speed; Alfred G. far outclassed the other two.

First', Heat— Pools: Alfred G $50, field $20. Alfred and
Clara trotted together at an easy pace all the way from the
start to the middle of the homestretcb, Redwood making a
bad break on the upper turn aud dropping out of the heat.
At the proper time Alfred drew away from his companion
and took the beat by a head well in hand in 2:36£.

Second Heat— Clara again plays second fiddle to Alfred G.,
and hung on a length behind him to the half, where she

broke; then Redwood passed into her place and took a posi-
tion at (he leader's wheel, main'aining it down the home-
stretch and bidding for the heat, but losiug it by half a
length. Clara Z. finished a poor third. Time, 2:30J.

Third Heat — Alfred G. went off in the lead, Redwood sec-
ond and Clara Z. third. The positions were never altered.
Alfred G. did the fastest work of the race, finishing at a fast
pace in 2:27£.

The Gold Leaf — Adonis affair, about which so much was
said before the event, conld hardly in jastice be called a race.
As everybody knows the horse has not been right for months
past, and had no preparation for a bruising race, and a speed
contest could hardly be looked for. The tilly was on the
contrary on edge, and she conld have paced anywhere near
her Napa record without trouble. What few pools were sold
went at the rate of five to one on Gold Leaf. She took the
race in straight heats.

In the first heat the two went like a team (o the lower
turn. Then Gold Leaf slowly opsned a gap until a length of
daylight shone behind her. When she headed for home on
the straight, McDowell gave her a little more rein and she
opened a wide gap and then jogged under the wire in 2:18&.
The first half of the second heat was in 1:11, then the tilly
got down to her work, straightened herself out and came
home at a sharp clip, doing the last half iu 1:05. the mile in
2:16. In the third beat Andy sent her away around the turn
with a spurt, but when he got her on the backstretch, he
took her back a little and allows her to make the half in
1:074-. From there home she did not increase the speed, and
the mile was put down in 2:16|. It was simply a jog for
her.

the first three-quarters in 0:39£, 1:19$ and 1:57. On the
homestretch she tired, and the runner coming up close
forced her to a break near the wire and she gdlloped under,
finishing in 2:36. The break lost her a full second.
Saturday.

Judges, Messrs. LaRue, Crave aud Knowles. The closing
day of the fair was on a par with Thursday and Friday so
far as attendance went, and some good speed contests were

FRIDAY.

The attendance, which had been steadily increasing, was at
its highest pitch on Friday. There were two trotting races
on the programme, the 2:40 class and the 2:27 class; the
former was won in straight heats by Fedora. Tho feature of
the day, however, was the brilliant race trotted by Mr. Crop-
sey's Eva W., who took the Hist two heatB in 2:28 and 2:26&,
was only two lengths bebind in 2:24, beaten a short head in
2:27, and took the fifth heat handily in 2:2S. She is by Nat-
wood, dam Alice R. bj' Naubuc. grandam by Ge~. M. Patch-
ed, Jr. Her nice, easy style of going, combined with sheer
gameuess, -Aoue enabled her to beat her opponent, who wa8
a trifle faster than her for a brush. When she took the final
heat she and her driver were greeted with vociferous cheers,
and several offers were made to purchase the mare, bat Mr.
Cropsey will probably give her a better record before the sea-
son is out, and unless tempted by a hig offer, will breed her
next spring, The day's racing wound up with an amuBing
mule race to sulky, the best heat being made in 3:50.
2:40 Class— Trotting.

First Heat— Auction pools: Fedora $20, Belle A. ©8, Field
$5. Belle A. was trotting fast when the word was given, and
drew away, leading Rose a length round the turn, with Al-
mont three lerigbus back and four in front of Fedora. Rose
broke shortly-after passing the quarter, and Fedora c'osed
up on Belle, being only two lengths behind on the upper
turn, and trotting steadily, caught her half way down the
stretch, and after a game struggle, beat her out a length, the
other pair just saving their distance. Time, 2:30£.

Second Beat— Auction pools: Fedora $20, Belle $6, Field
$3. They were started on pretty even terms. Belle A. and
Fedora collided before the turn, the latter dropping back.
Belle broke on the turn, and Rosa led her five lengths at the
quarter, Almont four lengths behind, third, and Fedora three
in the rear. Fedora passed Almont, and, trotting fast, both
mares drew up to Rosa, being a length behind on the upper
turn, and passing her, were level a length in front of Rosa at
the head of the stretch.

After a hard race down the straight both left their feet be-
fore the wir^, Fedora being a head in front, Rosa M. a bad
third and Almont distanced. Belle A. was set back third for
foul driving oa first turn. Time, 2:32£.

Third Heat— Auction pools: Fedora $20, Field $6. They
were soon sent away. Fedora cutting out the paoe was two
lengths in front of Belle all the way round to the upper turn.

last, Fedora winning in a jog by sis lengths from Rose M.

SATURDAY.

The wind-up day was very successful, though several hard
1 -ks marred the proceedings. In the fonr year- Id district
r 'ce there were only two starters, M. Reavis' Direotor mare
(larittie Solomon) taking the second and fourth heats, dia-
tanoing her Bolitary opponent. She has the old horse's true
style of going, but was very unsteady. In the special race

Mary Lou trotted a good hard race for a four-year-old, only
missing a record of 2:22£ by a break just before the wire.
Dennison was takpn down after the third heat, and Jim
Snider put up, with 28 lbs. overweight, behind Addie E.,
but he won the next two heats cleverly. A vigorous kick
was made against Dennison being taken out, but as the
judges were satisfied he broke his mare intentionally, they
would not allow him to drive. The consolation purse was
won by Isabella, Hotspur's lider never making an effort until
too late.

Four-Year -Old s\ Trotting.

First Heat. Auction pools, Mattie Solomao $20, Beatrice
$14. When the word was given Beatrice went away very
smoothly, while Mattie was hopping and skiving all over,

ing all over a winner; however, she made a disastrous break
inside the distance, Beatrice winning by four lengths. Time
2:40£.

Second Heat. Auction pools, Mattie $10, Beatrice $9.
Mattie Bettled down to work, and after scoring Beveral times
they were tapped off. Mattie was very steady to the turn,
where Beatrice broke, dropping three lengths b ick. The
black Director went on easily and smoothly, increasing her
lead to six tengths up the back stretch, and with Beatrice
breaking again in the stretch, won easily by four lengths.
Time 2:36.

Third Heat — Auction pools: Mattie $15, Beatrice $8.
They were soon started, Mattie trotting steadily was two
lengths in front on the tarn, but breaking, was passed by
Beatrice, who led a length at the quarter. Mattie trotted
well up the backstretch, getting on even terms on the upper
turn and a length in front at the three-quarter pole; both
were driven hard down the stretch, Mattie breaking at the
distance, lost the heat by two lengths. Time, 2:371-.

Fourth Heat— Auction pools: Beatrice $10, Mattie $8. The
pair Btarted off pretty evenly, but colliding on the turn,

ter two lengths in front of Lou, who closed up at the half,
but breaking, was a length behind at the head of the stretch,

Time 2:25

Wben the Fair closed on Saturday it was very satisfactory
to learn that the association had made a success from a finan-
cial point of view, as they have all worked hard for that pur-
pofip, the Directors having devoted a good deal of time to it,
while iha President workad like a Trojan. The Secretary,
Jo D. Sproul, is so well known that it is almost needless to

say that he is — as he always was — one of the most courteous
and business-like secretaiies on the coast. Nest year it is
expected there will be more open races, as, although the dis-
trict races nlted well, thty ouly brought about two to the
post in each instance, aud did not give much of a contest.
There were several well-known horses on the ground — Cre-
ole, Thapsin, Ned Winslow, Little Doc, and others who did
not get a race, owing to the quantify of District races. Next
year they will a'l have a chance.

The horses and catt'e exhibited were, as I mentioned be-
fore, exceptionally good, the Reavis entries being generally
admired. Several of the young Monroe Chiefs looked very
well, though perhaps the pick of the youngsters was the colt
by Steinman out of a Buccaneer mare, a handsome chesluut
with good action and fine shoulders, with good big knees
and hocks and nice square aotion. Mr. J. D. Forbes' Silver
King came in for a good deal of praise. He is a nice shape-
ly chestnut, with a light mane aud tail, and should improve
the breed in the district, as he is brother to May Boy, being
bred by Mr. Hayward.

The cattle exhibits were very good, but as they were in the
three herds there was not much competition. The Vina
Ranch Holsteius were a very even lot, capable of holding
their own in any company.

The Pavilion was crowded every night, the exhibits of
fruit, caniages. pictures, etc., being very tastefully arranged
and quite up to tbe usual standard of excellence.

The premiums for cattle and horsas were awarded on Sat-
urday morniog, and immediately afterwards the ladies, tour-
nament took place. Three equestriennes faced tbe judges,
who uliimattly gave first prize, §25, to Miss Clara Reichlmg,
Fecond,$15, to Mrs, C. Paulsell, third, $10, to Mrs. J. A.
Rodley.

which he calls Gen. Washington. He beatDirecta with con-
sumate ease at PetHluma last week, and if I am not much
mistaken will make a low mark for himself before the season
closes. He is by Mambrino Chief Jr., dam Fannie Rose.
Tom has always been an enthusiastic horseman, and his
friends are pleased to think that at last he has a good one.

Grim's Gossip.
RaciDg is mighty "unsartin."
The talant is having a bard time of it.

In an out performances seems to be the rule.

It is reported that Tom Hazlett won $4,000 in a week in
Montana.

Thapsin was worked out three good heats on Friday at
Chico, the best in 2:22.

Henry Vaughan has returned from the East with a fine
herd of Hereford cattle.

Ed. Annan, the pacer, only pulls a twenty-eight pounds
sulky on the grand circuit.

Wibble — "Whatever induced you to name your horse
Nail?"

Wabble — ''Because my wife can't drive him." — Terre Hante
Express.

The Angel Island band discoursed sweet music dnring the
Petaluma meeting, and they were frequently applauded.

A shower of raw beef has fallen in Illinois- It is supposed
that a mule had some trouble with a butcher catt in one
of the northern counties.

And now the running horse men are trying on their little
jobs. The judges at Oakland should have ruled Cook off;
he deserved it.

Another son of Electioneer has distinguished himself.
This time it is Fallis who has placed Don Marvin in the 2:30
list. The time made was 2:29.

The English Eclipse Stake for 1892 closed with 196 entries.
This year's Cesarewitch obtained Beventy-five subscribers
and the Cambridgeshire Handicap 106.

Mr. Hickok has finally settled all controversy about Adonis
by purchasing the disputed half interest, and is now the sole
owner of the fast pacer. He made a bad showing at Petalu-
ma, but will soon work around to his old foim.

Dan DenDiBon made a vigorous protest against Chaborzes
driving out on the turns in the Rabe — Eva to race but the
judges said that Dan had taught him in the preceding
heats what to do. Dan replied "sure then he is a very apt
pupil," and left.

Killip and Co. will sell at Sacramento duriDg fair week, the
magniocent herd of Durham cattle, owned by Pruitt and
Goff of Winchester. Ky. They are a lot of gems, and worthy
of a place on any first class stock (arm in the country.

Harry and Lee Rose, of Los Angeles, are making the tour
of the circuit, and they have with them several fa°t horses,
only two of which have started. Before the season is through
both ot the boys promise to knock Norlaine's record into
a cocked hat.

The Marysville track now has a gutter on the inside,
where a fence should he, ?o Dan Dennison will not surprise
the boys, (in the dusk) by appearing five lengths in front
at the seven furlongs, after being last at the half mile, as it
is rumored he once did.

Harry Agnew, with an eye to the nimble sixpence, has
bought Emma Temple, 2:23£, from Mr. Rochford, and will
keep her hard at work. She will be started at Stockton and
Fresno, and tome of the fast ones will find it a hard matter
to down her. The price paid, ro we are told, was $3,000.

A private telegram to Mr. Ariel Lathrop informs that gen-
tleman that Norval has again reduced hie record, this time to
2:17*. The Electioneers seem to improve with age.

While I have not seen Mr. Corbitt to verify the following,
still Dame Rumor has diligently circulated the news that
the owner of the San Mateo Stock Farm has had Le Grande
killed. Le Grand 2868 was by Almont 33, dam Jesse Pepper
by Mambrino Chief 11, 2nd dam by Sidi Hamet, 3rd dam.
the Wickliffe mare, said to be by Dioined. He was eight
years old, and has suffered for snme time from a bad rupture.

I wondered what caused such extraordinary pleasant looks
on the faces of the Salisbury contingent, and asked if any of
the boys had fallen heir to a fortune, but was told it was bet-
ter than tbat. "Why," said Mr. Neal, "Nellie R. has had a
filly by Director. It was foaled last Sunday morning, and
is as tine a youngster as was ever foaled at Pleasanton."

Jim Page, Denver. Col., has a green horse which he con-
siders more promising than were either Rams or Maxey
Cobb when he first brought them before the public.

It looks as though Dan DenDison had been tryine to re-
vamp the old Swamp Angel game at Chico. That took place
away in "73" but the jadges had evidently good memories.

Last week it was stated in this column that Kelly &
Samuels had paid forfeit on the Rettie B.— McGinnis match.
They received forfeit instead of paying it.

Winslow last week at Marysville paced three heats in
2:18A 2:17£ and 2:19£. Little Tommy Benton is doing good
work at the stud, Mary Low and Winslow already going
fast.

No one seems to be aware how fast Lot Slocum has been
going in pvercise, yet I am craditably informed that he could
go in 2:12. The hard work has been too much for him, and
now he is undergoing a rest.

The pacer William M. Singerly has plenty of speed, but is
too big gaited to go in and out among a numerous field; 2:10
is a probability for him against time, is the prediction of a
turf follower.

It is reported from New York that J. B. Haggin has madr-
ono hundred and seven entries for the Produce Stake of 1892
at Monmouth Park. This is the largest entry ever made by
ond breeder for a race in this country.

Sam Gamble has received from Dr. Bowhill, a certificate
that it would be unwise to train Nocnday for any racing
events this season. A sprain of the flexor tendon of the
near fore leg is the cause.

Col. R. H. Warfield of Heaidsburg, and Harvey W. Peck
of the same place, were at Pelalnma to witness the racing,
and secure entries for the Heaidsburg meeting, which will take
place the Becond week in Ootober.

H. M. LaRueis one of the beet racing judges in the State,
and it would be a good thing if all the associations on the
entire circuit should engage him regularly. He smelleth a
job afar off.

Bert H«rt is a proud boy, he has carried "Gerry" to the
three quarter post in 1:11, and now he and Casey Winchell
consider themselves monarchs of all they survey. California
boys, both of them.

The Montana contingent had a rough time coming over-
land. They found several bridges destroyed and they had to
go around-abont way, entailing an extra journey of almost
500 miles.

C. W. Williams, the owner of the three-year-old Axtell,
who trotted a mile at Chicago Friday in 2:14, has been offered
$100,000 for the c:>lt by Col. J: W. Conley. Mr. Williams has
taken the offer under consideration. Later— He has refused
Col. Conley 's offer.

Where no stock is kept, and manure must be made for
a garden, an excellent mode of so doing is to begin with a
pile of dirt, upon which all the waBte water and refuse
should be thrown. It should be covered to prevent injury
by rain. Each family waste enough every season to highly
manure a garden plat.

According to good authority the best time for cutting grass
with a machine is after four o'clock in the afternoon. Any
single team farmer can cut all the grass after four o'clock
that he can handle the next day before that hour, and all hay
should go into the barn by that time every afternoon.

It is not true that the Buffalo and Ponghkeepsie stake
winner Alcryon is blind. He has one good eye. And it is
doubtful whether any horse on this season's track can out-
brush him except Guy. Frank Noble, bis owner, offered
him for $4,000 before the Buffalo Stake. Now he is priced
at ©15,000.

The wdl-known brood mare Alma Mater, now the prop-
erty of W. S. Hobert, Esq , of this city, has had another of
her get to enter the 2:30 list, Almater by Mambrino, being
the last to go in, making a record of 2:29,} at Lexington,
August 27rh. She now has four in the list. The others are
Alcantara 2:23, Alcyone 2:27, and Arbiter 2:30.

W. Gardner and M. Bisg^, Jr., matched Jim Bluine and
Dude to trot on the Ust day at Sacramento State Fair for
$350 aside, Mr. Biggs to drive his borBe Dude, while Mr.
Gardner after the first heat could put up a snbsitute if he
wished; $100 forfeit was deposited with W, Lowell.

A. J. Cassatt has definitely decided to send The Bard to
the stud. "If Mr. Cassatt would consent to have him fired,"
said Dr. Sheppard, "I am almost certain that he could stand
staining again, because bis case is not within fifty per cent as
bad aB Troubadour's was," bat Mr. Cassatt does not care to
have his great horBe submitted to that operation.

Matt Storn is quite indignant that I should have suggested
his name as a successor to Matt Allen, and aays he is not
looking for any man's place. That is correct Matt, but I
want to see Senator Hearst win a race semi-oecasionally, and
feel very much 'afraid chat that long looked for event is
in the dim furture, unless notne new trainer is secured.

The cherry face of Frank Baldwin, manager <"*f the Fresno
Park Association, was seen last week on the Petaluma track
getting entries for the races which will take place in Fresno
the firct week in October. Frank is a rnstler, and it will not
be his fanlt if the next meeting is not the best that ever took
place in the lower San Joaquin.

"Hayseed" Doherty was a trifle late in making his entries
for the Quincy races, and the directors refused to accept
Victor in the free for all, and Lotilla in the 2:50, 2:35, and
2:30 classes. His letter was postmarked August 22ud in-
stead of the 20th.

The judges several times bad to order the horses in the
Bpeoial on Friday, at Chico. to score by the slowest horse in
order to get a start; one otherwise good start was spoilt by a
foul, there weie several on the track, but this was an old hen
which flew in the horses faceB and finished up with a broken
1 eg under Worth Ober's sulky.

Whitney, the absconding bookmaker, who levanted with
a lot of money from this city some months ago, has been
Been in London. Eogland, and it is reported that he will
Bhortly start for Buenos Ayres. If he tries any of his swind-
ling tricks in South America, some early fisherman will find
a body floating in the bay, with a knife wound in the baok.
They have a peculiar way of dealing with men of that stamp
in that far away country.

The-e is nothing that comes more natural to the person
working on a "hoss paper" than to work cut the pedigree of
some sensational performer. Only a few days ago Alcryon
drove Nelson 1o a record of 2:14£, and now th*re is a dispu'e
as to the real name of Alcryon. His owner contends that the
right name is Alectryon, and that he is registered ps number
2834, while there are others that contend that his name is
Alcryon 7478. Knowing nothing of the dispute, we cannot
say, but the two stallions in the register given by the num-
bers above are the same, unless the mare had twins.

One of the unfortunates last Tuesdav at Oakland was Matt
Storn. Cyras Holloway in the morning had his knee-cap
displaced while attending to the race-mare Glen Ellen. In
the afternoon the jocbey Pierce was thrown from the back of
Marigold, and the (illy running away, had to be withdrawn.
Later in the day Glen Ellen was left at the post, making a
chapter of accidents that was enough to make anyone swear
at fate.

It is clearly the duty of the Directors of the Petaluma
Society to appoint a committee and take all necessary testi-
money, re , the pulling of Lillie Stanley. Mr. Coombs is
very outspoken in regard to the matter, and in behalf of hon-
est racing it behooves the society to sift the matter to the
bottom. At the same time it might not be out of place to
make inquiry into the defeat of Lorena, in the two-year-old
stake race, as there are many ugly reports in circulation
about the way the race was trotted. Capt. Harris might
throw some light on the subject.

Merry Capt. T. B Merry has severed his connection with
the Helena Journal, and united his fortuneB with the Mis-
soula (Montana) Gazette. Tom id one of the old school, and
will do well anywhere.

Dan Murphy of San Jose, waB at Petaluma Saturday to see
his stallion Soudan go in the 2:30 race. Although hi did
not win a heat, the black came in Becond to Margaret S. in
2:24*.

The street cars in Petaluma are a great convenience to the
public, and the promoter, Mr. Edwards (Secretary of the
Agricultural Society) is deserving of every credit for com-
pleting it in such short order.

Genial Judge Post of Sacramento, was in town a couple of
days this week, and he was fully primed with horse lore.
He ia such a believer in the Norfolk — Marion blood that he
forgot to talk about anything else.

Mr. C. S. Crittenden has opeoed up his new stable and
riding academy on Golden Gate avenue. It is one of the
most BumptuouB establ'shments of the kind in the United
States and is a credit to the city.

Mr. Journay, who lives near Sacramento, has a female
mule with a sucking filly at her side. She is very jealous of
her progeny and will not allow any one near it. It is now
many years since such a freak of nature occurred in this
State.

The Distance Judge at Chico dropped his flag with Kate
Aguew well inside, and then declared her distanced. Pretty
hard lines, tho-igb there was no doubt she would have been
distanced had the flagman not been dilatory.

Some weeks ago I mentioned that some American party
had purchased Roxaline, the full sister to Marion (dam of El
Rio Rey, The Czar, The Emperor, etc.) from Mr. E Burgess
of the Riverside Stud, Canada. It now transpires that J. B.
Haggin was the gentleman who bougbt her.

Al. Pierson, a horse jockey, who has been in Chico about
two months, got smitten with a girl, and because the girl
refused his company and hand, be became romantic and
threatened to kill her. The girl told an officer, and Al was
captured while on his way to put his threat into execution.
He languishes in a cell.

In the last issue of this paper a mistake was made in giv
ing the pedigrees of two of the starters in the summary of
the yearling district trotting race. It should have read
Tamarack by Mambrino, Jr., dam by a son of Btlmont; and
Mambrino Button by Mambrino, Jr., dam Maud by Naubuc;
second dam by old Ethan Allen.

The owner of the trotting stallion Nelsor, the winner of
the 2:22 purse at Buffalo in 2:15, 2:171. and 2:15, has refused
$55,000 for the horse. In an interview with Mr. Nelson
which was reported in the gossip column last week, he stated
that he had matched his stallion against Stambonl for
$10,000. He has done nothing of the kind, at least Mr.
Hobert knowB nothing about it, and has given no oni
authority to make any such match. Stambonl, when fit and
well, will be trotted to beat the Stallion record, and under
Mr. Hickok's care is daily improving. Some time agn, he
caught his leg in a fence and injured it somewhat, but it
was not serious enough to cause any alarm to his owner.
The rumor that Stambonl would stand in Kentucky next
season is also without foundation.

Theo. Winters came down from Washoe last evening. He
informed a reporter that he had received no offer from
Dwyer Bros, for his big chestnut race-horse El Rio Rey, but
that Eastern parties had been trying to buy him for over a
month past. He said tbat he offered his whole stable for
sale when be first took it East for $35,000, but when El Rio
Rey won his big ri>ce in Chicago, coming op under the whip
and spur, then he began to realize what a horse he had, arH
immediately withdrew him for the sale. He inteods to
keep the chestuut from the stud, to fill the stall Boon to be
left vacant by Old Norfolk, and will not pntertain any offer
that anybody can make for him. His antecedents were all
noble animals, and from the Bhowing he has made East this
season he is the best one in the lot. — (Reno Gazette.)

Senator Hearst has added another horse to his already
large string. Last Saturday morning he purchased the two
year old filly Miss Bell, by Prinre Charlie, dam Linnet, the
price paid bt,ing $5,000. It was thought that she had a
Bplendul chance to win the Sapphire stake, but on Tuesday,
the day on which the event came off, she could not do bet-
ter than get third place.

The Solano Republican in speaking of the two-yeaiK>ld
district race at Petaluma says: "Parties from Suisnn who
Raw Frank B wheu he was led ont for the rare, say that be
acted strangely— was apparently sick, and it is the general
belief that he was doped." I wonder if Express and Lillie
Stanley vf ere also doped, for most assuredly they acted ex-
actly as did Frank B. ; they broke at the wrong time.

From Santa Barbara my correspondent writes that the
jockeys, rubbers, drivers and trainers are all fakir g a
marked interest in the coming fair. Every day the track is
well patronized by those who love equine contests. He rays
the jewelers here are all doing a good bueinecs, as many buy
stop watches to catch qumters, halves and miles, to be well
posted. Last Saturday I saw a horse go to the half mile post
In 1:16 The horse is a new one, and I believe he was sired
by Red Wilkes. The driver of him will say nothing about
the horse, but if be thinks he can train his gelding for a hot
race without working bim he will get lelt. Ruenall is irnprov*
in" very much and Gus Walters expects to drive him away
below :30 this fall. Hir*m Pierce's Diamond is travelling
like a race horse, and Jimmy Hope's "Tono" wasdriv(n a
third heat in 2:35, and he could have trotted much faster.
Nigeer Boby trots handily in 2:28. The runners are all doing
well. The fast two-year-old, Gambo, ont of Dnlly Dimple
and by Wildidler, is very fast. He ran against E.'.R Den's
Baby a quarter Saturday, and beat him handily in 23A
Beconds. Gfo W„ stallion, by Whipple's Hambletoniau, is
improving very much. He is owned by Mr. Wilson, and is
trained by Mr. Williams, who has the management of the
track; and the track, by the way, needs work, as it is un-
even and bea\y around the three-quarter turn. There is
mnch talk of a match between Ruenall and Geo. W. Ruenall
is to be hitched to a cart that must weigh 120 pounds.
When the mornine work on the track is fmisned most of the
people drive to the seashore and enjoy a sea bath. Santa
Barbara beach surpasses all beaches for sea bathing, and
there are many fine swimmers. Last Saturday the sea over-
flowed with legal intelectuality. Thomas B. Bishop, a prom-
inent attorney of San Francisco, was enjoying the warm,
smooth beach, and po was Judge Van Fleet, of Sacmn
District Attorney Cooper and his Jaw partner, J J.
were also in the Bnn, There was a swimminp ci
tween Mr. Hall, of Miramar, and Profe&sor McGh ,
ley. They swam to the keep and return, a mil

The Home of Whippleton.

The authorities on trotters, present strange anoruolies
when looked into carefully. Those who are supposed to
have carefully studied tbe intricate question of breeding,
will tell you that the only way to get a fast trotter is to breed
to well known blood lines and then only when clearly estab-
lished, others will argue about the superiority of the thor-
oughbred cross, and ooutend that the only way to get en-
durance is to have an hi fusion of hot blood, etc But there
are very few that are willing to acknowledge that untraceable
blood will produce trottiDg horses, yet still such is the case
and most noticab yso in tnecase of Whippleton 1883. When
in Napa, week before last, I saw Dolly McMahon receive a
first premium from the judge?, and on the same afternoon,
witnessed her daughter Lillie Stanley, win a race from Dawn
in three straight heats.

The pedigree of Dolly McMahon is a perfect mystery. It
seems to be as completely wrapped in oblivion, as the ques-
tion of "how were the pyramids built?" And yet the an-
cient Dolly begot, to the cover of Whippleton, Lillie Stauley
2:17o. Homestakes apacer that would have astonished the
world with ordinary care, and who paced his first heat
in 2:16£, is set down in the year book as by' Whippleton, dam
untraced.

Flora B. is another of the got of Whippleton, and the same
work says dam nntraced. And these are all that the records
show to his credit up to the end of the year 1S88. Harry
Starr, a careful and diligent worker in the sulky, has several
Whippletons under his care at the Napa track, and as the
general conformation of each were alike, and they all show
up fast, it was only natural that a curiosity should be
aroused to see the sire of Buch generally good all round per-
formers. F. W. Loeber, the proprietor of Vineland Breeding
Farm, very kindly invited me to take a look at the sire, and
one bright, pleasant morning we journeyed to St. Helena,
within one mile of which is situated Mr. Loeber's pretty
vineyard and orchard. While the home place is rather
small, the owner controls a large number of acres on the bot-
tom lands, where the grass is green almost all the year
round, with a good water supply and plenty of trees to shel-
ter the broodmares and the foals when they desire to get out
of the sun's rays.

Whippleton is a beautiful black stallion with tan muzzle
and flanks, stands almost if not quite 17 hauds, and is well
finished in every particular. He ie an exceptionally well put
up animal, strong and muscular, with the well developed Ham-
bletonian characteristics. His colts, all that I have seen, are
uniformity cast in his own mold, and all of them are speedy.
His ability to throw good colors in his get, is shown by an ad-
vertisement in the Breeder and Sportsman some months ago,
wherein Mr. Loeber says "he has never sired a sorrel or
white faced colt; if he does I agree to refund the service
money." Could there be a stronger showing of faith of this
particular merit in the great sire, than the words quoted
above by his owner. In the neighborhood of St. Helena and
Napa there are a number of his youngsters, and it will not
surprise anyone who knows the horse to hear that he has a
dozen in the "30" list by the fall of next year. On the same
farm there are two other stallions standing for public service,
both of which are worLh more then passing mention.

The first of these U Alcona 730 by the great Almont (sire
of Westmont, ?:15J, Puritan, 2:16, Fannie Witherapooo,
2:16}, Piedmont. 2:17£, and 31 others with records better
thau 2:30, and grandaire of Bell Hamlin, 2:13}) by Alexan-
der's Abdallah (sire of Goldsmith Maid, 2:14), he by Rysdvk's
Hambletonlan, Alcona's dam, Queen Mary by Mambriuo
Chief sire of Lady Thorn, 2:18}, Woodford Mambrino 2:21$
aud 4 others in 2:30 list, and sire of the dams of Piedmont,
2:17i, Director, 2:17, Onward, 2:25^. and many others; 23
of his sons have produced 2:30 trotters.

Alcona is a beautiful cheBtnut 16.3 hands high, of grand
conformation and undoubted speed. Since his advent into
California the mares served bv him have not beeD gilt-edged,
aB far as fashionable breeding is concerned, ytt his colts all
show good speed, several of which are far above the average.
Flora Belle, who is now on the circuit, has already obtained
a record of 2:24, and Clay Doke, another good one. is fair on
the road to get low down in the ''twenties. "

Grandissimo is a full brother to Grandee, 2:23 J, made as a
three-year-old. He is by Le Grande (son of Almont, and out
of Jessie Pepper, by Mambrino Chief; Jessie Pepper is the
dam of Iona, 2:22, Alpha 2:23£, Sterling Wilkes, 2:333 and
others) dam Norma by Arthonon (sire of Arab 2:15. Joe Ar-
tharton, 2:20£, etc. Graudam Nourmahal (full sister to A
W. Richmond, sire of Arrow, 2-133, Romero, 2:19, and sire of
Columbine, dam of Anteeo, 2:16}, and Antevolo, 2:19A at 4
years old).

Grandissimo is only three years old, is a magnificent ma-
hogany bay, and will be when at full growth, over sixteen
hands in height. He is a splendid specimen of the perfect
horse and should be a valuable adjunct to the Vmeland Farm.
Mr. Loeber has made careful selection of the mares on his
place, aud they are all individually of great merit. It would
take too much space to enumerate them all, but the following
will give an idea of the choice stock now to be seen there.

Daylight, ch colt, 1 year old by Dawn, dam Alida, (dam of
Directa 2:31£, 3 years old) by Admiral, g dam by Mohowk.

Mr. Loeber is on the high road to success, and he fully de-
serves it, for he is an earnest, conscientious horseman, liked
by all who know him, and with well wishers whose name is
legion. It was with extreme regret that we had to say good-
bye, yet we left in the hope that on some future occasion we
might be able to repeat the visit.

OAKLAND.

BY OPE SPECIAL COMMISSIONER.

ll

Monday.
The AnDual Fair of the Golden Gate Association opened
at the Oakland Driving Park, Monday, Sept. 2, with a good
first day attendance, and a first-class programme. The
events were not well contested. They were too mnch one
way, the favorite winning in both in straight heats. It was
a betting crowd all over, and pots of money went into the
pool boxes on the two snre things. The judges for the day
were C. S. Crittenden starting jodge, assisted by Messrs. Sam
Gamble and N" E. Green, The watches were held by Mes-
srs. Hurry Agnew, Wilfred Page and Ed. Dallon.
Trotting— 2:20 Class.
The above event opened the day. Palo Alto's o h Palo Alto,
C. A. Davis & Cu's., br g Franklin, O. A. Hickok's c h Bay
Rose, G. E. Doherty's b h Victor, E. B. Gifford's blk g Don
Tomas, and J. A. Linscott's ch s Jim L. were in it. Palo
Alto so far outclasses everything in the class that so long as
he stays in any sort of shape, the 2:20 claBS will not ie a
race Palo Alto can take it as hepleaseB, and Monday, could
have made the third heat in 2:16 if Marvin had only wanted
him to do it, and had not slowed him down to a jog in the
Btraight with the crowd almost a distance behind him.

First Heal.— Pools were sold Palo Alto $200, held $40.
Tbev were given the worst start seen this seasou, and was
somewhat similar to the start given the same crowd at Peta-
luma when Bay Rose was distanced in the fourth heat. When
they came past the stand they were scattered all over che
track and Jim L. was off his feet. Still the gong sounded, but
it came late, and both Douothan, who was driving Franklin,
and Ro Irigutz who was behind Jim L. to^k iheir horses
baok, Jim L. turning clear around. Then when Palo Alto,
Victor, Bay Rose and Don Tomas were clipping along half
way around the torn, the judges and crowd shouted to them
to go on. They cjuld do nothing then but try to save their
distance. Victor was in the fore, Palo Alto and Tomas to-
gether in second place and Bay Rose third. The hayseed
horse lead them to the middle of the backstratch and then
Palo Alto passed him, and going into the lower turn Palo Alto
was two lengths in front, Don Tomas and Victor nest to him
and Buy Rose third. Palo Alto broke in the turn, but came
down quickly, with the crowd at his wheel. At the head of
the homestretch it was Palo Alto first by a length. Bay Rose
seoond, Victor third and Don Tomas fourth. In this order
they finished, Palo Alio going easily. Franklin got inside
the fUg, bat Jim L. was distanced. Time 2:22£.

Second Heat-?oo\s: Palo Alto S80, Field SI*. Palo Alto
went off in the lead, clcsely followed by Bay Rose and Victor.
At the quarter Palo Alto was a length to the good, Bay Ro^e
second, Don Tomas and Fraoklin third by two lengths. On
the backstre'ch Palo Alto drew away from them to four
lengths. Bay Rose caught up and trotted head and head
with Don Tomas. At the half Palo Alto was still in front
and Don Tomas had a little the be.t of Bay Rose in the
battle ioc second. Around the mm Bay Rose and Don
Tomas and Victor and Franklin trotted like two teams. They
came well into the straight in this order; then Franklin drew
out of the crowd and wad on even terms with Bay Rose for
second. The right was all for second pace, and when Palo
Alto pissed the wire in 2:20 Franklin shot by Bay Rose and
wot 6ecoud by half a length, Don Tomas fourth and Victor
Sfth.

ihird Heat— No more pools were sold. Palo Alto took a
long lead on the turn, and when they got around and into
the bacfestretch he was ten lengths in front, Franklin. Bay
Rose aud Don Tomas a length apart in the crowd. Palo Alto
got to the half in 1:09. There Frank in came up with Bay
Rosa and Don Tomas, and going around the turn he was in
Becond place The struggle for second took place again in
the straight. Vic or got himself next io FraoKlin, and they
finished°Palo Al o hist in a j >g, Frauklin second by two
lengths, Victor two leog hs further away in third place, and
Bay Rose and Di-n Tom*s fourth and fifth. Time, 0:35,
1:09 1:424. When Marvin saw that ue had the whole crowd
beaten he losed Pa'o Alto to jog in. although at the rate he
was going he could easily have done the mile in 2:16. The
lime was 2:19£. As Marvin begin to take his horse back
the crowd yelftd to him to let the horse go, but he wanted to
let everybody in, and so Palo A'to went under at what to
him was a walkover, Frank-in second, Victor third, Bay Rose
fourth and Don Tomas fifth.

the start, selling at $50 to $30 for Pink and $19 for H zel

First Heat— Soudan had the best of the go and wentaroand
the turn a length in front of Belle B. and two lengths to the
good of Pink. Hazel Kirke waa lame and maie no showing
in the heat. Belle B closed up and had a little the best of
Soudan at the quarter, but she broke and tbe horae again
wont to the front followed by Pink. Tbe position* were un-
changed until they were half way down the straight, then
Holly called on Pink and the game little mare raced Soudan
off his feet within thirty .yards of the wire and won by
two lengths, Belle B. third, Hazel Kirke a poor fourth.
Time. 2:254-

Second Heat-VooU sold: Pink $120: Field $35. Pink
was a lengtn in front going around the turn, Soudan, Belle
B and Hazel Kirke on even terms. At the quarter it was the
same- then Belle B. went up closer to the leader, getting to
his wheel in a Bpurt, which threw her off her feet, and the
break was bad enough to put her out of it. Hazel Kirke and
Soudan were hardly a length behind Pink, going into the
turn and half way around Hazel Kirke was at her wheel.
Soudan bIbo came up, and when they entered the straight
the three were together. They came down abreast to the
drawgate- then Pink drew away and finished first by a length,
tioudao second and Hazel third. Belle B. was away back.
Time 2-26|. Pink was also the winner of the third and last

heat. He took a lead of a half leDgth on the tarn, but at the
half Soudan came up lo his wheel and on the backstretch
passed him. Pink hung on to the horse's wheel to the mid-
dle of the lower turn, and then made n bid for the lead again,
getting it as they came into the straight. Down home there
was a close race with Soudan, but tbe big horse gave it up
near the wire, and Pink won by a lengtn. Belle B. was a
bad third aud Hazel Kirk just saved her distance. Time,

Tuesday.
There was an improvement in the size of the attendance
upon the second day of the Golden Gate Races. The
weather was alt that could he desired from a racing point of
view, and the tiackwas measurably fast and in good condi-
tion for the trotters.

Trotting— 2:50 Class.
In the first event, the 2:50 class, San Mateo Stock Farm's
oh m Hazel VVilke-*, Palo Alto's ch m Lorita, B. C. Holly's o s
San Diego and the La Siesta Bench's c m Wanda started.
In the pool boxes Hazel Wilkes was first choice, selling at
$70 against $23 for Lorita and $10 tor tbe field.

First Heat. — When the bell tapped them off in the first
heat to a good start, they went into the turn on even terms,
and then Wanda showed in fnnt with San Diego at her
wheel. At the quarter Wanda lead by a length, the other
three together. On the backstretch Hazel took second place
and San Diego left Lorita in fourth. The positions were un-
changed around the turn, except that Lorita closed up with
San Diego. Wanda had still her length lead at the head of
the straight. Hazel Wilkes closed the gap s'eidily aB they
came home at a good clip, and at the dawgafe was at Wan-
da's wheel, and at the distance post was crawling up by
inches. Wanda trotted steadily and went under first by a
neck, Hazel Wilkes gaining on her at every stride, San Diego
finished third and Lorita tourth. Time 2:26

Second Heal.— Pools sold, Hazel Wilkes $60, Lorita $20.
field $6. When they got the word, Hazel Wilkes went off
fast and took the le.id on the tarn Lorita at her wheel. Sau
Diego made a bad break and was never heard of ugain. Be-
fore they got to the quarter Lorita went away like a shot and
showed half a leugth in front, going into the backstretch.
Hazel Wilkeq stopped on her wheel and stayed there to the
middle of tbe lower turn, when Lorita broke and gained a
length by it. Coming into the striight she had an open
length the best of Hazel Wilkes, Go'dsmith shook the mare
up and came down to one of his fighting finishes. Lorita
broke at the drawgate, but caught in an instant and went on
faster, but broke again near the wire and rau under finishing
first by half a length, Wanda in third place and San Diego
away back, fonrth. When the judges rendered their dis-
cision there was a growl from the crowd. The heat was
given to Hazel Wilkes, Wanda was placed second, San Diego
third, an1 Lorita was set back to fourth place for her run-
ning

'Ihird Heat. — Hazel Wilkes went up in the pools selling at
$60 against §16 for the field. Lorita's punishment didn't do
much harm. She went out for the next heat and took the
pole and first place in the turn, Hazel Wilkes after her.
Lotita was a length in front at tbe head of the backstretch,
when Hazel Wilkes broke aud gave her four lengths of open
daylight. Lorita held that all the way around the lower
turn, breaking once. Goldsmith tried hard for the lead, but
he forced his filly off her feet in the attempt and Lorita fin-
ished first bv two lengths in a jog, San Diego third and
Wanda fourth. Time 2:26.

Fourth Heat. — H<tztl Wilkes sold at $25 against $12 for
the field. Lorita took the heat after a fighting finish with
HbzoI Wilkes by a neck in 2:25. San Diego made his first
showing in the heat, following on Lorita's wheel to the back-
Btretch where Hazel passed him for second place. Lorita lead
Hazel the entire mile, making one skip close to the wire,
when Haz-1 was forcing her out. San Diegj finished third
and Wanda fourth.

Fifth Heat — Lorita was made favorite and sold at $50 to
$27 for Hazel Wilkes and $2 for the field. Lorita took the
heat and race, finishing in a jog. She went off in the lead,
San Diego on her wheel and Wanda third. At the back-
stretch Wanda got in second place and was at the leader's
neck at the half, Hazel Wilkes a length behind them. In
this order they came around the turn and into the straight.
Hazel Wilkes made a bid for the lead but made a bad break,
and Lorita came on home and won as she chose in a jog.
Hazel beat Wanda out for second, San Diego being a poor
fourth. Time, 2:24.

SUMMARY.

Third Heat — Tbe next heat brought out a surprise. Frank
had made no showing at all and was considered out of the
race, but he took the heat by two lengths. Belle Button was
first on the turn, Longworth a leugth back, and Racquet
close up to him. Belle Button was in front, with Longworth
a length back iu tbe straight. Racquet made a tangled break
upon tbe backstretch, and was no more in it. At the head
of the straight Frank showed up close to the leaders, coming
fast. Longworth got the whip and Belle Button quit, and
Frank flashed past them and came under the wire a winner,
Longworth second, Belle Button third, and Racquet fourth.
Time, 2:20. Pools sold, Longworth $70, Racquet $50,
Field $12. Paris mutuals paid, $39.

Fourth Heal—The bedgers, in trying to get out after the
heat, ran the field up to $40, LoDgworth goiog at $20 and
Racquet at $12. The heat was another surprise. Racquet
got tbe lead on the turn and was never headed. Frank
paced in second place and made a rush at the fiuiah aud
came near getting the heat, going under tbe wire at Racquet's
neck. Belle Botton and Longworth paced the distance in
third and fourth place and fiuished in that order.

Fifth Heal — Longworth, Belle Button and Frank in the
field sold favorite at $40 to $20 for Ricqnet. Wben the
word came for the fifth heat Longworth went away fast and
took a long lead, Belle Batton following him. Frank passed
to second place on the backstretch, and when Longworth
came into the straight Frank was but two lengths behind
him aud in tbe next 100 yards closed up on even terms.
Longworth was severely punished, but he couldn't keep the
pace, and Frank got the heat in 2:23£, Belle Button third.
Racquet made two bad breaks on the turn and the back-
stretch and was distanced.

Sixth Heat— Frank $70, field $17 was the way the pools
sold, the talent hedging out fast. The sun was almost down
when the three starters came out again. At the'word Belle
Button went off aud established herself in first place, Frank
and Longworth going together about a length bfihiud her. On
the lower turn Longworth went back a length, but came up
again at the head of the straight, and half way down the
three were on even terms. Belle Button tired and a few
lengths nearer the wire Longworth gave it up and Frank paced
in easy in 2:26, Longworth second and Belle Button third.

RUNNING, HALF MILE HEATS.

The Banks of Oakland Free Purse, half mile heats, had
four Btarters, Ben Hill's gr m Eve C, Kelly & Samuel's b m
SuBie S , Bambriok's gr g Stoneman and VV. S. Heald's b m
Daisy Neal. Snsie S. had the call in the pool b »x. selling for
$130 to $90 for Stoneman and $50 for the field. The weight
was 110 pounds all around.

The flag went down with Eve moving fast, Stoneman on
ner flank and Susie S. jast in motion. Daisy Neal would not
go off and was left at the post. Eve showed in front by a
length, StonemaD after her and Susie S two lengths behind
him as they swung into the tarn. They came around the
turn at a lively gait, Stoneman closing up to Eve and coming
into the straight on even terms with her, Susie S. two lengths
baok. Stoneman passed the mare half way down home, and
a little further on Susie S. shot by her. Stoneman came on
well in hand and took the heat by half a length. In the last
fifty yards Cook, on Susie S } made a show at catching the
leader, and the mare responded to his touch with a rush that
would have carried her to the front with ease if it had been
made a little earlier. Cook didn't want the heat. Daisy Neal
wag distanced. Time i05

Second Heat. — There were evidences of somelhing shaky
in the manner in which tne pool bis waB manipulated, When
the boxes opened Susie S. ?old favorite at $100 against $70
for the field. They sold that way for fifteen minutes when
suddenly the field sprung into favorite's place, selling at
$110 to $100. Except a certain coterie who stood about tbe
pool stand, the orowd was bewildered and hardly knew what
to do. When the flag dropped Eve jumped off m the lead,
Stoneman at her flank, Susie S. getting away badly and
following them around the turn ten lengths behind. Stone-
man took the lead as they swung into the straight and c»me
right away from Eve. Susie S. began to move at the same
time, her jockey making a great show with his whip, but the
mare didn't come very fast somehow. StoDeman went under
first by six lengths, Susie S. running second about a nose
ahead of Eve.

The evidences of a job were so plain that the whole
crowd saw it aod surrounded the judges' stand. The
decision was some time coming, but at last President K. T.
Carrol made the announcement that the race was declared
off and all bets off. expecting of coarse the Paris Mutnals on
the first he it. The decision was greeted with a shout, and
one small crowd went off and kicked itself.

Thursday.

Sunol and Lillian Wilkes have met again, and the Palo
Alto filly has conquered. Her victory is a hollow one,
though, and Palo Alto has no reason to be unduly proud of
her. There were the Bame three in it which started in the
race at Petalum-, and neither was fit for a race. Sonol was
all tacked nia, and Lillian was tender abont the legs, and
neither of them were given hardly more than a good warna-
i ig upbeat, with the exception of the first heat, when Sunol
jad a fast three-qaarters. She took the race in straight
heats in 2:21, 2:24£ and 2:20, jogging in in all of iheni. It
was not such a bettiug race as that at Petaluma, compara-
tively little mon°y going into the box.

Tbe second event on the day's card, the 2:22 class trot,
was fought out in six heats. The last one was trotted in
s^mi-darkness, and the judges ma^e a departure in racing hv
declaring the htaf. off and pos pouing the race. The mm til-

ings upon that decision will be heard for a long time, and
there will in all probability be a strong and determined tight
to have it set aside, with a high probability of success.

The meeting has thu' far b3en an unqnalifled success, the
events being away above the average, and the attendance
good all the week through. The crowd on Thursday was
larger than on the prrceding days, drawn there for the main
part by the Suncl — Wilkes race. The day was begun with
that event, the details of which are as follows:

First Heat — Lillian Wilkes had the pole, Margaret S. next
to her, and Sunol was en the out-fide. They scored Beven
times before the word was given, and then Sunol on the out-
side had half a length the best of it, bat Bhe was not going
Bteadily, and fifty yards from the wire made a bad break.
Margaret S. awong into the tarn a length in front of Lillian
Wilkes, but at the eighth Lillian lost her feet in a tangled
break, and when she got down Margaret S was eight lengths
away from her and Sunol was the same distance behind her.
When they got into the backstretch Margaret S. was ten
lengths away from Lillian, while Sunol was criwling up to
the Wilkes filly, and only three lengths behind her. At the
half Margaret was eight lengths away, bat Sanol had closed
her gap and was at Lillian's wheel. Well into the second
turn Margaret was six lengths first and Sunol and Wilkes
were head and head. Swinging into the straight Sunol went
half a length in front of Lillian and came into the straight
clear of her and bat two lengths behind Margaret. Then
began the race for home. Sunol steadily closed up upon
Margaret, Lillian following her, but going on her toes. They
were almost at the drawgate when Lillian went off her feet
in a tangled break and Sunol collared Margaret. Andy
McDowell managed to keep his mare on even terms with
Sunol to within fifty yards of tbe wire; then Sunol Bhoved
her head in front and drew slowly away from her, moving
easy, and went under the string with Margaret's head at
her flank. Lillian's break put her out of the heat entirely,
and she jogged in ten lengths back. Time by quarters, 0:34i,
1:09 j, 1:45 J and 2.21. Sunol trotted a very fast three-quar-
ters, some watches catching it as low as 1:40 J, others getting
it 1:41.

Second Heat — When the pool-boxes opened, Sunol sold
for a time at even monev against the field, but later on she
was made favorite at $50 to $40. Crittenden. gave them a
good start, but Lillian was unsteady under the wire, and
almost at the word broke. Sunol swung into the straight in
front of Margaret S., and when they got half way around,
was in front by a length. Lillian was eight lengths back
when Bhe settled. The positions at the quarter were the
same. Going down the backstretch Sanol drew away from
Margaret S., opening a gap of two lengths, Lillian eight
lengths behind. At the half there was no change, but going
around the lower turn Sunol went off to five lengths lead,
and Lillian closed up to about the same distance behind
Margaret, trotting fast. Sunol reached the three-quarters
five lengths in front. Lillian was right at Margaret's wheel,
and was going fast when Bhe again left her feet, and didn't
get down until well into the straight, and then was out of
the heat. Sunol and Margaret S. came on home, Sunol trot-
ting eBay. Andy took Margaret back when he found there
was no hope of catching the leader, and Sunol jogged under
the wire about six lengths in front of her. Time by quarters,
0:36, l:12f. 1:46,2:24*.

Third heat. The hedgers made the betting pretty lively.
The box opened with Sunol goiog at $80 against the field at
$20, then it dropped down to §50 for Sunol and $11 for the
field. Johnny gave Lillian two or three fast spine and had
her scoring s'rongwhen they cameoutfor the heat. It looked
as if he was in to get the heat. Sunol was sulking at the
score and wouldn't come up. At the third attempt she was
back a length and a half, but Marvin nodded for tbe word
and Crittenden let them go. Lillian went off very fast, tut
broke again going into the turn, and when she got down
again Sunol was at the eighth half a length in front of Mar-
garet S , and Lillian was six lengths away. At the quarter
the positions were unchanged. On the backstretch Margaret
got up close to Sunol, aod at the half waB at her wheel and
Lillian was five lengths away from her. Going around the
turn Sanol drew away to two lengths and Lillian closed up to
three lengths from Margaret S. At the head of the straight
Sunol was three lengths in front. Margaret two lengths from
Lillian. The race waB over then. Sunol trotted toward
home at an easy gait, and went under in a jog again, four
lengths in front of Margaret S. and seven to the good of Lil-
lian. Time by quarters, :35£, 1:091, 1:44, 2:20.

it and Btarted on in the lead, but the "hayBeed" bay ont-
trotted him and finished nose and noBe with him, and the
judges gave Victor the place. Valeniine finished fourth
away back. Time by quarters, 0:36£, 1:11$, 1:46, 2:213.

Third Heat— The race was looked upon as such a sure
thing for Direct that there was no betting. When they got
off Victor lost his feet. On the turn Senator also went up,
and Direct, with Valentine at hiB wheel, went away two
lengths from the two breakers. Oa the backstretch the posi-
tions were unchanged. Aroand the turn Senator and Victor
got up within six leDgths of the leaders. At the head of the
straight Valentine was on even terms with Direct, and a little
further down took Ihe lead from him. Victor began to crowd
up. At the drawgate he collared and passed Direct and made
for the leader, closing the gap at a terrific pace. Holly urged
Valentine on. Victor was at his flank and a sure winner of
the heat, when he broke, and Valentine went in winner by a
length. Andy pulled Direct up, when Victor paBsed him
and finished fourth. Senator getting third place. Time by
quarters. 0:35^, 1:10*, 1:45*, 2:22 Victor trotted from the
half home in something like a 2:18 gait.

Fourth heat. The pool boxes were immediately besieged,
and pools sold Direct $60, field $30. Victor was out for the
heat and when he jogged ont Johnny Goldsmith was up be-
hind him. Direct was sulking and didn't want to go. When
they got off Goldsmith carried Victor at once to the front, and
on the turn be was leading, with Valentine at his wheel, Sen-
ator and Direct six lengths back. The only change in the
positions was that Victor and Valentine had fifteen lengths
the lead of Senator and Direct at the half, and it looKed us if
the favorite would be- distanced. The heat was altogether
between Victor and Valentine. Valentine hung on to his
wbeel half way down the straight, and then Holly began to
use hiB whip, but Victor natarally outspeeded him and came
in winner of the heat by six lengthB. Senator and Direct just
managing to pave their distance. Time bv quarters, ;36A,
1:113, 1=47. 2:22J.

fifth Heat. — Postponement was what the boys were looking
for.

The pool box was again opened, and this time sold, Direct
§40, field $15 and Valentine $5. Direct came out acting badly
again. Victor jogged down the stretch with the whole crowd
cheering him. When they got the word and swung into the
turn, Victor broke, and Valentine went away three lengths in
front. At the quarter Valentine, Victor, Direct and Senator
was the order. Going down the backstretch Victor trotted
like a demon, closing tbe gap at every stride, and at the half
he was at Valentine's wheel, Direct two lengths back. Sen-
ator ran considerably, and went into the turn on a gallop.
Half way around the turn Victor passed tbe leader, and as
they swung into the straight he was an open length in front.
From there home he had it all his own way. Senator made a
play for second pi ice, and trotted up to Valentine's wbeel;
Victor finished first eight leog-ha in front of them in a jog;
Senator finished third at Valentine's wheel, and Direct was
seven lengths behind them. Senator was set back to fourth
place for running. Time by quarters, 0:35£, 1:122, 1:44?,

TROTTING — 2:22 CLASS.

The 2:22 class trot had in it Pleasanton Stock Farm's blk s
Direot, Marcus Daly's b s Senator. Geo. Doherty's b s Victor,
B. C. Holly's b g Valentine and Alfred Gonzales' b s Junio.
Direct was the tning in the pool boxes, selling rapidly at $300
to $100 for Senator, second choice and $60 for the field.

First Heat — Senator, Victor, Junio, Direct and Valentine,
were the positions at the start. They scored half a dozen
times before they got the word. Senator broke as they went
off, and when they got straightened out on the turn Direct
waB two lengths in front of Senator, Valentine at Senator's
wheel and Victor at Valentine's Jnnio got off badly and was
away back. At the quarter Direct had increased his lead to
three lengths. On the backstretch Senator got up two lengths
of the leader and Victor was lapping Valentine two lengths
behind Senator. On the lower turn Direct was three lengths
in front of Senator who broke half way around, and Victor
was in froDt of Valentine. At the head of the straight Sena-
tor was still three lengths back, Victor at bis wheel. He drew
away from Victor in an attempt to reach Direct The little
black came steadily home an ea*y winner by three lengths
in 2:22; Victor drove Senator hard for second place. Senator
broke and ran under the wire with Victor on iiis wheel. Val-
entine finished fourth. Junio went all to pieces on the back-
stretch and was distanced. Quarters :35A, 1:11$, 1:461.

Second Heat— Direot sold against the whole held at~$60 to
$20. They were given a beautiful start. Direct was an open
length in front at the eighth, Senator second, Valentine at his
wheel, and Victor a length behind Valentine. Valentine got
up to Senator's wheel on tbe backstretch, but went back
again, and at the half Direct was first by a length and a half,
Senfitjr second. Valentine a length third, and Vic'.or the
same distance fourth. On the turn Direct drew away to two
lengths' lead. Victor closed up on Valentine and came into
the straight ahead of him. Senator made play for the leader,
but was not fast enough, and went bBck to Victor, who was
coming strong for second place. Direct took the heat as he
pleased, jogging in five lengths in front. Victor forced Sen.

The pool-sellers packed up their traps in the middle of the
fifth heat and went home, and when the hedgers wanted to
pull out, there was no opportunity, and there were not a few
madmen in the crowd. There wa6 a chance to have made
some sure money if the box had been open. When the
horses came cut for the sixth heat, Victor was roundly
cheered.

The sun had long since set, and Ihe big yel'ow moon was
looking down upon the crowd. Theie was just enough light
for the horses to be seen on the backstretch with the aid of
field glasses. Valentine and Direct went off around the turn
together, but at the quarter Direct had a length the best of it,
with Victor a lengfh behind Valentine. The positions were
unchanged until they got to the lower turn, and then it was
first, Valentine and then Victor passed Direct. Victor and
Valentine were together at the head of the straight and there
Victor began to draw away. Direct was out of it altogether,
Victor opeoel a wide gap bstween himself and Valentine and
jogged in under the wire ten lengths to the good of Valentine,
Holly taking hiB horse back when he found that he was
beaten. The people who had backed the field early in the
game with aucb long odds in their favor were jubilant. They
awaited the decision with patience. There was evidently
Bomething wrong in the judges' stand. It grew darker and
darker and the crowd was more and more impatient. There
had been a pro'est made that Victor had run on the back-
stretch. The Direct men were anxious. The decis'on finally
came. It was that on account of the darkness the judges
cm Id not see the noises and the heat was therefore declared
off, and the r ace would be called for the deciding heat
the next day at one o'clock. The announcement was
greetad with howls from one side and biases from the other,
and taunts were freely thrown at the judges. When they
oame down from the s^aod they were surrounded by the
crowd and excited men demanded the cause of tbe decision
and the reason for giving it. It was without a precedent and
tbe people wanted to know whit motive, if there was orja, the
judges had for their rendering upon the heat. U. S Critten-
den, the starting judge was seen by a representative of the
Breeder and Sportsman and asked regarding the decision.
His auswer was that the judgeB couldn't tell what the horses
were doing on tbe backstretch or at the head of the
straight, and they thought the only thing they could
do was to declare the heat off. George Doherty, tbe
owner of Victor was mad, and very mad. He said that he
could get 1,000 men who would swear that his hor«e won
the race fairly, and that he would under no consideration
start his horse the next day.

The Direct people got what they wanted. They put a pile
of money on the horse, but he couldn't go more than two
heats and quit in the third. When thev knew he couldn't
win they saw hope to save themselves only by a postpone-
ment. All sorts of rumors were in* circulation, one being
that Victor had been bought to help Direct out. He was
to be driven for two heats, and by that time they
would get a postponement. Victor won bis heats
all right, very near distancing Direot in the first. Then
the Direct people were surprised by the t ell calling them out
for a sixth heat. Their only chance th-n was to bave Val-
entine win the bent. But Johnny Goldsmith upset every
calculation by driving Victor lo win in the slow time of 2:29.
The field crowd were happy until the decision came.

As to the injustice of the decision there is no question. It
certainly stands without a precedent. If the darkness was
such that the horses could not be plainly seen, then the race
should have been postponed after the fifth heat, aa every-
body expected it would be. The great error was in starting
them at all if there was any question about darkness.

0. 8 Crittenden. B. T. Carroll and George Bement were in
the stand upon the first race, bat afterthat Mr. Carroll

ator to a break at the distance post, but the horse gained by ' stepped down, and his place was taken by Dr. Latham

Oakland Gossip.

•■

Kunners will draw a crowd every lime.
The thoroughbreds are what attracts the ladies.
Not a single accident is reported in the bringing of the
stables from Petaluma. A good many horses came by boat.
The RoBemeade stud was veil represented in the 2:20 class.
Four of the starters had the blood of The Moor in their veins.
What a corker the 6ist running day was at Oakland forthe
fancy. With one exception they went wrjng, and heavily
wrong on everything.

The committee of one who was detailed to prepare the
track did his work pretty well. It was in good condition both
jr>r running and trotting.

Lorita is the handiest breaker I ever saw. Id a hot finish
she will make two or three skips, get down in a fl isb, and go
on like a shot. She doesn't lose an inch.

Longworth has been three out of four times beaten, but he
has the honor of the two best heats in 2:19f at Feialuma and
2:19 at Oakland. This third good one of the get of Sidney
may go in 2:15 before the circuit is over.

The betting was heavitr Wednesday than upon any other
day of the meeting. Everybody had money, and everybody
was batting it. As soon as one race was over the pocl^ be-
gan to sell and they kept on selling until the horses actually
got the flag.

Lenmar, Margaret S., Wanda and a lot of other horses are
off. and the ^opinion is that it is the result of working them
t jo soon after an attack of epizootic. The disease was not
well out of the system, and in most cases it has caused a
weakness in the coupling.

If Palo Alto were only out of the :20 class, what a race it
would be through the circuit. He spoils the best event on
the programme by being too fast for the lot. After he had
won at Oakland, Tuesday, Marvin brought him out for a jog
and sent him a foarta mile in 2:20, coming the last half in
1:09.

Palo Alto is a great horse and is worthy the name he bears.
In the hird heat of the 2:20 class he could have come home
in 2:16 with all ease, had not Marvin taken him back, seem-
ingly to let the crowd in. Half a hundred people wtre shout-
ing 'come on!" when they saw him easing the horse up.
TDey wanted to see him make a better race record.

What a betting Tace is the 2:25 class pic-! With the ex-
ception ot Petaluma, where Longworth took it in straight
heats, it has bten any horse's race, and one end is just as
likely to win as the other. Lots of money goes in on those
aide-wheelers. It was a man with a long head who could
hedge right on Tuesday's race. Very few of them did it.

Harry Agnew made a good purchase the other day at Peta-
luma in tue mare Emma Temple. He got her of Tom Koch-
ford, paying $3,000 for her. He bought an entry in the 2:30
eUss at Fresno for her, and will send her on through the
circuit in the hands of Henry Helman, who handled her for
her former owner. She is bj Jackson Temple, dam by Emi-
grant.

For a horse that has seen life at the tongue of a water-cart
and knows what hard work is, Frank, Holly's pacer, is not a
bad one. It is not the first instance where a horse has been
taken from the menial labor of a mnle and put udou the
track to develop into a world beater. L ttle Brown Jog had
an experience something liae that. Frank will scare every-
thing ia his class to deish. before the season is over.

I like the way the Palo Alto horseB are ridden. In the
Lelaud Stanford purse, Flambeau and Eico were one and
two at the drawgate and had the race won, still the jocks
drew their whips and slashed away, riding like demons, each
one apparently endeavoring to win with just as much zeal as
if they were not riding stable companions. Notody is afraid
to stake his dollars on a stable like that.

Palo Alto made a good start for the fall seasoD, running one,
two in the first race. Faustine disgraced them, though, in
the George Hearst purse. A pile of money went in on the
filly to win and for pUce, but she quit dead away when she
was punished in the straight. Tuo 3e who backed her wanted
to lay her defeat to the bad start, but she was at no greater
disadvantage than the others, getting off well up in the
bunch.

It has been a long time since^we have seen such big fields
in the running events as Oakland had. The start made one
think of a Derby day on an Eastern course. The association
has done one thing for which it deserves commendation.
The jockeys wore numbers on their sleevts to correspond
with the number of the mount on the programme. It's the
best known plan for identifying the horoeB to the crowd, and
the State Fair might well follow suit.

J. H. ChaBe's filly Marigold who was to start in theLeland
Stanford Purse, distinguished herself by twice tbrowiLg her
jockey. Pierce. He was warming her up and was galloping
her around the first turn when Bhe stopped and tossed him
over. He wasn't hurt and climbed up agaio, but at the
head of the straight she swerved when under a gallop and
threw the boy pretty barf1. She took a gallop around the
turn before being caught and was withdrawn for her cuper.
Pierce was a little groggy after the second fall, but had a mount
on Glen Ellen in the eecond rice.

Bi Holly is a man whom the ladies would call, in the
language of the drawing-room, "cute, "and in the parlance
of tue track, "smooth." It is rare that he makes an error in
general?hip in a race. A horse was never placed more pte-
cisely than he had Frank in the 2:25 class pace, and alt.r the
second heat Holly had the whole crowd just where he wan ed
them. When he was ten leng.hs behind ac the three-quarter
post in the third heat, an:l btarted his horse for the lead, he
must ha7e paced the quarter at a 2:10 gait. I never saw a
horse b gin his work ihat disance behind and cut down the
crowd aB ne did.

The blood of old Norfolk showed itself in a good perform-
ance Weduesday. Duke Spencer ran a great race when he
finished second to Lcngshi/t iu the Hearst purse. He wbb
nothss than tw . seconds away from the leaders as they
bwuog into the upper turn, He cut down the crowd one at a
time, and when in* head of the stretch was reached, he was

somewhere back in about fifth place. The crowd spread out
in the run home, and he came next the rails, and went
through them like a shot, getting the plice. The mile was
ma> e in 1:43, but he couldn't have run it in less than 1:41.
He will do to watch.

It is a very unfortunate thing when a man goes into the
judges' stand at Oakland. There seems to be a hoodoo upon
the place, and something unpleasant is sure to happen. This
year the opening day and opening race was signalized by one
of the worst startB ever seen on a race track, and the tap of
the bell was a blunder which distanced one horse and made
a hard heat for som* of the others. Then that was followed
by the decision agaiDst Lorita in the second heat of the 2:50
class race Tuesday. Nobody expected anything woroe than
the giving of the heat to Haz 1 Wiikes or making it a dead
heat, ana there was a good deal of dissatisfaction when she
was set back to fourth place. In the opinion of a very Urge
majority the penalty was too great for the crime.

I never kuew a decision to receive less unfavorable com-
ment than that of the judges upon the Stoaeman — Susie S.
race. I rather think the jobbers were glad to get off with
light puLi-hment. The ruling off of both jockey and horse
wouldu't ba\e been too severe. It was the worst pb seen
Bince fbe Al Furrow affair of last spring. CooK got Susie off
behind in the first heat and held her there until they were
within twen'y lengths of the wire, there he let the mare have
her head anl she ran in with a magnificent rush. He
timed it very nicely. Two seconds sooner he couldn't have
helped winning. Iu the second heat he tangled her at the
start so as to giev them a longer lead, and then came home
under the whip, but the rawhide cut the air oltener than it
did the mare. The judges are to be congratulated.

The weather was insufferably hot on the opening day and
on'.y a slim crowd attended. The half mile and repeat was
njt decent exercise for Johnny Gray, but the 2:30 class was
a hard determined race from start to finish. There were
seven heats and each of the last three had two to their credit
at the end of the BJxth. Worth Obtr drove Allarita after the

Three-minute Class — Trolling.
First Heat — Pools sold briskly at Almonta S20, Kedwood
$5, Field $5. They were Btarted at the third attempt and
went pretty even to the turn, where they all broke; Redwood
catching handily, was six lengths in front of the rest at the
quarter, Allarita second, a length in front of Almonta. The

wooJ $4 and Allarita $2 Almonta was quickest a.vay, leud-
ing a length ou the first turn which she increased to four on
the backstretch, the others being head and head. Allarita
gradually left Redwood and went iu hot pursuit of Almonta,
catching her half way djwn the stretch, oarried her to a
break, and though the latter came fast and was almost level
tilty yards from h me, Loth broke just btfore the wire, Alla-
rita winning bv the shortest of heads, Redwjod seven lengths
back. Time, 2:30.

J hird Heat—Vaola now veered round, Allarita bringing
§20 to Almonta $5, and Redwood $3. The trio went very
evtnly to the turn, where Almonta broke, and Allarita went
on leading six lengths at the quarter, the others even. Al-
monta trotted fast up the baikstretch, getting to within a
length of Allarita at the head of the bomeBtretch, and after a
hard diive down the straight, it was nip ani tuck till Al-
monta broke, fifty yards from the wire, losii-g the heat by
four lengths. Redwrod close up. Time, 2:26.]-.

Fourth Heat— Allarita now sold for $20 to the field $6.

Allarita. Almonta. trotting fast, shortened the gap rapidly
gettiLg up to Redwood at tue head of the stretch, with Alla-
rita fifty yards back. Almonta was kept at work, getting

favu»ite at $10 to th-? field $5. Worth Ooer now took Jack
Cjchran'B place behind Allarita. Almonta had a length the
best of the slari, and tro.ting very Bteadily, led Allarita a
length and a half round the turn and up the backstretch.
When going round the turn Almonta broke, and colliding
with Oder's sulky, both were thrown out. Allarita was
stopped at the wire, but Almonta galloped once round the
track be/ore she was stopped. The beat was given to Re I-

Three races were on the card a nearest to a four minutea
event. The mile dash was only a good gallop for Applause,
the 2:40 trotting was won handily by Rabe after losing the
first heat. The spscial was a good betting race, Agnew was
made a hot favorite in the first two heats with Pasha second
ohoice in the last heat. Marvin brought $20 to the field $10,
and won a good race. Messrs. Biggs and Lowell were both
about 30 pounds overweight. Bode showed pltnty of pace
but was very erractic.

Mile Dash — Running.

Applause sold a red hot favorite for $20 to the field $10.
When the flag fell at third attempt Applause was a length be-
hind, but straightening out took the inside going round the

on his wheel to the quarter, when the stallion left his feet,
and Agnew had a five leugihs' lead, when he settled down a
length in front of Pasha, who broke at the half. The gray
mare retained her advantage to the stretch, when the others
closed up a little, Dude trotting well last; three hundre:!
yards from home Agnew broke all to pieces, and Marvin won
ha idily by three lengths from Pasha, Dude two farther back,
Agnew* last. Time. 2:30.

Third Heat— Agnew was driven by Eddy. Pools veered
round, Marvin selling for $15 to the field $7 £0. This time
Pasha went out, leaaing Agnew a length to the quart* r, and
thtn broke; Marvin, who was four lengths behind, followed
suit. Agnew kept g iug very steadily at the tbree-qarten,
beiog three lengths in front of Pasha and Marvin, who had
both broken on the turn. Marvin closed up a little, and
Dude trotted rapidly into third position. Aguew looked all
over a wiuner until forty yards from the wire, when she
broke badly, Marvin beating her a leogth. Pasha a ba i third.

Our Australian Letter.

Editok Breeder and Sportsman ;— The expatriation of the
Australian sires, Sir Modred, Darebin and Cheviot, to your
Bhores will, no doubt, open up greater interest in America
with regard to racing matters this side of the line, and in
this connection I propose sending you by each mail a column
or so of colonial racing most likely to interest the readers of
your journal. The Australian horse promises in the near
future to make its mark on the thoroughbred animal in the
States, and outside the three stallions above mentioned, the
racing career of the Australian pair osned by Senator Hearst
of California, are under the eager surveillance of Australian
breeders, as their success must ai a Lecessity cause a further
demand for Australian bred youngsters.

In Eogland, also, horsemen are beginning to wonder what
sort of animals we breod out here, when an Australian, King-
master, at best a third rater, is s«.nt home to make a name for
himself.

News of the doings in the States of the progeny of Sir
Modred and Darebin are closely looked after by us Austra-
lians, and regret is now expressed on all sides that the pair
should ever have been suffered to leave the colonies. With
regard to their get out here, your readers will no doubt be
conversant with the career of that really great horse Austra-
lian Peer, by Darebin, out of Stockdove. Nearly all the
Peer's great races have bten with Mr. White's magnificent colt
Abercorn, by Chester, dam Cinnamon, and the pair won race
for race in a most extraordinary manner. The Peer ran third
to Abercorn's win of the A. J. C. (Sydney) Derby of 1857,
but turued the tables by winning the Victorian Derby from
Mr. White's crack. He next beat Abercorn for the Canter-
bury Stakes, but Abercorn asserted himself when he defeated
the Peer in both the Flemington (Victoria) and A. J. C. (N.
S. Wales) St. Lsgers. Then the Peer reversed matters by
winning the Cumberland. Stakes from Abercorn, but weDt
under to Abercorn in the A. J. C. Plate, three miles. Their
four-year-old career opened with a wiu for the Peer in the
Kandwiek Spring States, but Abercorn's turn came in the
Craven Plate, when the Peer had to cry second fiddle. The
Peer's other big wins were the Kandwiek Plate, three miles;
Sydney Cup, two miles, and Melbourne Stakes, one and one-
quarter miles. What a time either owner would have had
with the other dear charmer away.

Antaeus, a tine colt by Sir Modred out of Millie, now in his
third year, is looked upon by the knowing ones as an animal
likely to make a name for himself. At the Kandwiek (Sydney)
autumn meeting he annexed the First Nursery Handicap,
and at Tattersall's meeting (Sydney) in June, he won the
Flying Handicap.

Little Bernie, a colt by Cheviot, dam Myrtle, also shows
himself composed of the right stuff. He won the Nursery
Handicap at Warwick Farm (oear Sydney), and ran seconds in
both second Nursery Handicaps at the Kandwiek Autumn
and Sydney Turf Club meetings.

WestLynne is a magnificent colt by Darebin, and the writer
will not be surprised if he turns out a flyer. At the Canter-
bury (near Sydney) March meeting he came in nrst in the
double, Park Stakes and Steward's mile, but was disqualified
from the first event for alleged crossing.

Maggie, a four-year-old by Darebin, dam Margaret, is
owned by Mr. T. Sampson, a brother of the world-known
Peudragon of the London Keferee. As a two-year-old she
made one win, and ran three times into a place; and as a
three-year-old she added one winning bracket and ran once
into a place. Grand Chester, a three-year-old by Darebin,
dam Esmeralda, as a two-year-old never failed to run into a
place, making two wins, one second and two-thirds.

The four big handicaps to be run between this date and
November next in New South Wales and Victoria are the
Hawkesbury Handicap (Soptember 14th) and the Metropoli-
tan Stakes (24th September) in the former cjlony; and the
Caulfield Cap (October 19ih)and Melbourne Cup (5th Novem-
ber in the lattar. For the Metropolitan, Abercorn heads the
list with 9st, 7 lbs., Australian Peer next with 9st, 41bs., and
then with 9st, 21bs., Arsenal, the Melbourne Cup winner of
18S6, an old gentleman, by the way, whom they are now
running with a sort of muzzle, as he has taken a fancy to
now and then dine off the leg of the lider who may be up on
the horse accompanying him in his work. The Darebin colt
WeBt Lynne and the Sir Modred Antaeus are eDgaged in the
Metropolitan at 7st 4 lbs. and 7st 21bs. respectively. The
three borses most likely to interest Americans in the Caul-
field Cup are Grand Chester, Maggie and Little Bernie, the
Darebin and Cheviot youngsters.

For the Melbourne Cup, the race of all races in Australia,
the Champion Carbine heads the list at 10 stone, Mentor and
Abercorn are on an equality at 9 st, lOlbs., and of the 128
horses entered for the event, Darebin's son, Australian Peer,
holds fourth place at 9 st, 6 lbs. The Career of Carbine, the
mighty son of the mightiest of Australian sires, the recently
deceased Musket, is a wonderful one. As a two-year old he
was never beaten, scoring hve wius, and as a three- year-old
he won nine races, ran three seuoods and one-third. In the
Victorian Derby, owing to execrable riding, he was defeated
by Ensign, a horse to whom he could have given many
pounds and a beating.

The importation of American trotting stallions is beginning
to make itself felt in Australia by improvement in the class
of buggy and light horses generally, but as a sport, trotting
has not yet taken a big hold — in fact any hold at all — upon
the general public, being conducted in such a loose manner
that it fairly stinks in the nostril-* of honest men. Nearly all
trotting races in the vicinity of Sydney come off on a track
on the Agricultural Society's ground. It was tried by a
couple of the Su^urbm race course proprietors, but the
swindling was so apparent that they declined to hold aay
farther trotting matches on their courses. Saven stallions
imported from America by Mr J. Burns Werd offered for
auction in Sidney on 18th of July, but only three fouud
purchasers: Judge Belden, by Elmo, from Prentice, record
2:31, brought 370 guineas; Bonner Jr., by Bonner, brought
250 guinfas, and Ben Hur, by Elmo from Nora Marshall,
went at 125 guineas. With regard to the records imported
with your horses, either our mileB must be longer than yours
or our watches go faster, but certain it is that they leave
their record behind them in the States, and go in for a newer
—and slower one — in the colonies.

The four horses sent to England with the idea of showing
B. Ushers the stuff Australian nags are made of have arrived

safely in the old country, and if breeding and appearance
go for anything, the pair bred to Eoglish time and destined
for the English Derby should anything but disgrace their
native heather, if they toe the scratch fit and well. Narellan,
by Chester, from Princess Maud, is full brother to Acme, a
"real" lady who in one month ran third in tbeSummer Cap,
mile and a half, won Carriugton Stakes, one mile, won Tat-
tersall's Cup, two miles, and second to Cardigan in the Anni-
versary Handicap. The other colt, Kirkbam, by Chester,
from La Princesse, is full brother to Cranbrook, who as a
three-year-old secured five winning brackets. The other
horse, owned by Mr. James White, Plutarch, is perhaps the
most unlucky horse that ever sported silk, having ran no less
than eleven seconds. He is by Mr. White'B favorite Sire
Chester from Cameo, and taking a line from Ringmaster's
performances in Eogland, should be up to his neck in it if
not crushed by the handicappers. Lady Betty, the fourth
horse of the string, is by St. Albans, from Pardon, and her
two-year-old performances were all winning ones. At weight
for asre, for a mile. Bhe beat the sterling Cranbrook, who won
thn Newmarket Handicap, six furlongs, with 8st. 12 lbs. up
in 1:14£.

Outside the racing men proper, tho general public are tak-
ing a big interest in the welfare of the quartette, and should
either of the colts appropriate the Epsom Derby, no one in
Australia will cast his hat higher in the air than your humble
servant. "The Jungle."

Galloway and Angus Cattle-

Killip & Co,, the live stock auctioneers, will sell at public
auction on the morning of September 20th, at Sacramento,
during the State Fair meeting, the finest collection of Gallo-
way and Angus cattle ever offered in tbe State. They are
the property of the Inter State Galloway Cattle Company,
which, as the records show, have imported more first-class
cattle into California than any other firm. These cattle are
now at Sacramento, and can be seen by tho^e who may think
of purchasing. They are all registered in the American-bred
books, so that there can be no mistake as to the breeding.

THE KENNEL.

Dog owners are requested to send for publication the earlier possi-
ble notices of whelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths
tn their kennels, in all instances writing plainly names of site and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

Mr" I. L Miller of Bakertield, is in the city for his annual
enjoyment of salty breezes and metropolitan pleasures. His
recent trip to Mount Whitney left him brown and sound as
a nut. His stories of big trout are calculated to make con-
finement at ordinary labor Btill more irksome.

Mr. Chas. StudaruB, at Routiers, Sacramento Co., is 6aid to
have in training a setter that promises to walk away with the
Pacific Coast all aged stake in January. Mr. Stndarus is en-
thusiastic and expends a great deal of time and labor upon
his dog. The animal is a half brother of Mr. Chris. Ecklon's
Trix, winner five years ago at White Rock.

The exportation of fine stock to Japan is notable. Mr.
Andrew Smith of Redwood City, sent sixty nine head down
recently, two of them Holsteins, one a Jersey, and the rest
thoroughbred and grade Durhams. The cattle endured the
voyage well, and received the best of care, both on their
journey and after reaching their destination.

Judge C. N. Post of Sacramento, having been called to San
Francisco by business before the Supreme Court, on Monday
last, allotted an hour or two to his friends in this office. He
reports his English setters all well except famous old Sweet-
heart. Heart's last litter was a beavv one, and as other de-
mands on her owner's time compelled some neglect, the
bitch suffered considerably, and is not yet entirely beyond
danger.

Mr. 0. H. Lockhart, at Burbank, Cal., asks for the ad-
dresses of some breeders of foxhounds. In so far as we
know Mr. Dan Murphy, of the Coyote Kennels breeds the
only pure English foxhounds on the ooast, but whether he
cares to dispose of any of his does we do not know. Breeders
of native foxhounds are Mr. W. S. Kittle, of this city, and
Mr. George Rainey, of Nana.

Mr. George T. Allender writes from Watsonville that the
dogs in his charge are all in good form. Of the imported
pointer bitch Sail, owned by William Schreiber, Esq , of this
city, he fays that she is showing splendid nose, pace and
staying power, but is rather hard to train because of stub-
bornness. Mr. Allender will be glad to learn that Mr.
Schreiber's other importation Nester is fat, saucy and hand-
some.

Denver Sports Afield always brings good news, and its
latest issue presents this most gratifying editorial assuiance:
"Western breeders and admirers of thoroughbred dogs will be
glad to hear that everytbing now points to the approaching
Continental Kennel Club's show proving a most successful
one. It will be held in Denver three days, commencing
November 14, 15 and 16. Tbe many railroads centering at
this point have all shown a desire to treat the dogmen liber-
ally as regards transportation, and Sports Afield looks to see
a number of the most prominent kennels in the country on
deck with flying colors."

The very pleasant correspondent and discriminating fanoier
ot cocker Bpaniels, Mr. M. P. McKoon, writes from El Cajon,
Saa Diego CouDty, as follows: "I do intend and wish to write
a few little articles upon breaking cockers, docking, breeding,
etc , for Breeder and Sportsman, but I never seem to get
tbe time, my health being poor and my fruit farm, kennel
and tent business occupy my time so fully, that I find little
time for other thin busineps correspondence. I will probably
make a fetch of it in time, however.

The Ohio Field Trial Club was organized last week at
Wooster, O. Following is a list of officers: President. Hon
M. L. Bmyzer; viee-president. Capt. A. S. McClnre; secreta-
ry and treasurer, John Bolns; executive committee, John H.
Law, F. J. Mullin, C. E White, J. F. Marcbant and A. M.
Parrish; committee on grounds, Messrs Clark. Jones' Lake,
Horn, Huffstott and Ebright. The trials will probably be
run near Wooster about the middle of November. Only
one stake will be run this year, a free-for-all, with $10 for-
feit and $15 additional to start. Entry blanks and full par-
ticulars can be obtained by addressing tbe secretary, John
Bolus, Wooster, O.

Mr. Chas. L. Lundy, of Cincinnati, who will be remem-
bered as an Arizona correspondent of the Breeder and
Sportsman, and also as the gentlenan who sold that dainty
bit of pointer flesh, Surf, to Mr. W. S. Kittle, writes: —

"You ask if I will have anything to do with ki-yi's The
enclosed clipping from last night's Covington, Ky., paper
answers the question fully."

[The clipping says: "A dog case, already quite celebrated,
was the occasion again this morning of a spirited war of
words between Judge Phelps and Charles L. Lucdy, attor-
neys in the ca^e. Joe Smith, a bartender living at 132 Long-
worth street, Cincinnati, is, or rather was, the owner of a *ne
setter dog that he had listed for taxation at $100. Frank Ery,
who had a grievance against Smith, took the dog and brought
it to his brother-in-law's, Henry Kleinschbrodt, place, 21
Oliver street, this city. Smith learned of the dog's hiding
place, and going to Kleinschbrodt's found the latter asleep
and took chirge of the dog, and while en roue to Cincinnati
was not a little mystified to meet Kleinschbrodt armed with
a six shooter, who told Smith to deliver or die. The dog,
although known to be stolen, wsb taken back, and now the
legal war is to get possession of the setter. Kleinschbrodt
promised to be in court this morning with the dog. and hia
failure to put in an appearance gave riBe to the war. Mr.
Lundy caused a warrant to be issued for Kleinschbrodt,
charging him with grand larceny, and if he refuses to go to
Cimoinnati tu stand trial, the necessary requisition papers
will be procured. Judge Phelps maintains that Mayor Altby
has jurisdiction in the premises, and will insist on him trying
the case, and what the result will be remains to be seen.'9]

When that crazy Kentuckian flashed his gun I did not
have a word to say. His four words "drop that dog quick"
were the most powerful argument I ever listened to. Judge
Phelps, the attornev ag-unst me is considered good, but hi-*
client's gun had m r i eloquence, (effective) in a minute, then
did the Judge' entire argument of more than an hour.
If you have ever looked into a "big one" you appreciate this
fact.

As for my individual dogs have only got two, an old do not
smile saying jon never yet saw a good one — Gordon and
one of his get. I picked him up two seasons ago for a song,
from a farmer while out on a hunt, no pedigree, and terribly
homely.

But he is not for sale. He is the rangiest, truest, best sin-
gle and dead bird dog I ever worked, a bit unsteady on covey,
or in company, but good enough for me. I bagged more than
500 over him in a single season, and really do not believe
that I lost a single dead one. Do you blame me for sticking
to him, particularly when he is equally good on all kinds,
land and water?

A Card from the Stud Book Committee-

ARTICLE XXII. CONSTITDTION OF THE AMERICAN KENNEL
CLUE.
The business management of the American Kennel Club Sh.nl- Book
shall be subjected to the direction of a committee of three, elected by
a majority of the delegates present at tbe annual meeting of the Club,
and Bhu.ll render account to the Association annually at such meet-
ing.

At a meeting of the Stud-Book Commute held August 22,
it was deemed advisable to make a public explanation of the
reason for which the registration fee is to be increased after
Jan 1, 1890, to the sum of one dollar. Two or three protests
against the action of this committee having appeared in some
of the sporting papers, expressing the hepe that tbe American
Kennel Club at its next meeting would rescind our action,
maktB it necessary to go back to the establishment of the
official Stud-Book. From January 1, 1887, to March 1, 1888,
some fifteen months, the Stud-Book was in the charge of and
compiled by the Secretary of the Club. It was an experi-
ment, iis future could not be foretold. In order to meet the
neeessary expenses a large number of the friends of tbe club
advertised in tbe book, and notwithstanding this increase of
its income, the club could not afford to pay even a fair salary
for the work the Stud-Botk entailed. Owing to the in-
creased business of the Stud-Book this committee, on March
1, 1388, appointed an editor of the book, and demanded of
him his entire time and attention, and yet could not afford
to fix, and pay a stated salary. The two years experience of
both tbe Secretary and the Editor showed them conclusive-
ly that the cost of publishiug each entry was greater than
the amount charged for it, and this induced the Secretary to
bring the matter before the American Kennel Clab at its
meeting December 6, 1888. By referring to the official
record of that meetiug published in the Janua-y issue of
the American Kennel Gazette, and also in the several sport-
ing journals the week following the meeting, the following
extract from the proceedings will be found:

Mr. Vredenburgb called attention to tbe registration fee which at
present is titty cents, and advocated in cases of voluntary registration
the charge of one doiiar. Od suggestion of Mr Hitchcock the mat-
ter was left to tbe Stud-Book Committee.

By this action the American Kennel Club evidently
thought that the Stud-Book Committee was in a better posi-
tion to determine this matter than the club itself was, and ac-
cordingly gave this committee power to act as its judgment dic-
tated. When the fee of ilfty oent was originally fixed it was
by action of this committee, which is elected annually by
the American Kennel Club, and this same committee was
given the power to increase it to one dollar if it was found
necessary to do so.

Thccommitlee determined to permit the old fee to remain
in force for the year 1S89, and now gives five month's notice
of the increased fee. Our reasons for the increase are as
follows: The cost of composition, printing, eleotrotyping,
stock, and binding of each volume is about thirty-three cents
for each entry. To this must be added the salary of the
compiler of tbe book, a proportionate share of office rent,
pistage, and stationery; these oombinud swell the total cost
of the publication of each entry to a fraction over eighty-one
cents. Since January I, 1889, the Stud-Book has paid its
editor a stated salary on the last day of each and every
month, together with its share of its other legitimate ex-
penses, and when the present volume is published aud paid
for the result will be that it has been published at a loss of
over thiry-one centB on each and every entry that the book
contains. We deBire to state in this connection that the in-
come and expense of the Stud-Book is kept entirely separate
and distinct from the other departments of the American
Kennel Club, and the Stud-Book does not pay the Americi
Kennel Gazette for the monthly publication of the prelimin
ary registrations that have been assigned Stud-Book number,
said publication being entirely complimentary.

The other resolution unfavorably commented upon, has
been forced noon the committee. PersooR from all sections
are continually jequeBling to be furnished with extended
pedigrees of dogs that are registered in the seve"al Stud-
Boobs that are kept at the office u£ the American Kennel Club.
These requests &re becoming so frequent, and to comply
consumes so much time, that the committee deems it nece*-
Fary to charge for the work, and tixed the reasonable sum of
fifty cents, for which is issued an official certificate of a pedi-
gree, including the fourth generation when possible, and
duly signed by the Secretary of the Club.

Chesapeake Bay Dogs.

Dr. H. H. Smith, of Malvern, Iowa, kindly sends a few
Dotes about Chesapeake Bay dogs, of which he breeds many.
He says: —

The Chesapeake Bay dogs originated, without doubt, on
the east shores of Chesapeake Bay and evidently came from
a pair of small Labrador or Newfoun land dogs that were
taken off from a wrecked vessel bound to England from L ib-
rador. The pair were brought to Baltimore and the dog was
taken to the east shore. These dogs, belonging to the family
of retrievers, and being strongly possessed of these qualities,
soon made their mark among the wild fowl shooters. The
dog was bred to natives that were noted retrievers; the mat-
ter of pedigree was ignored,*and the principle of a dog being
a fine performer would impart the same quality to his proge-
ny was the oourBe pursued.

Several of the produce passert into the hands of the wealthy
Ducking Clubs along the Chesapeake Bay, where they have
been kept in pnrity and judiciously bred. The members of
these clubs priding themselves in the great excellence of
their dogs, refused to part with them at any price. And
those that have had the good lock to secure aDy of the pro-
duce of these dogs have much to be thankful for. All along
the Chesapeake Bay can be found dogs that are called Ches-
apeakeB, but to any man that has seen the dogs of Carroll
Island and Maxwell's Point (which are without doubt the
purest in existence) there is no comparison.

"When developed they weigh from 50 to 70 lbs., about 24
inches at the shoulder. Their coat in color, texture and gen-
eral appearance resembles a fade! Buffalo robe but more
dense. White feet and too tips are adinissable, sometimes a
stripe between the eyes. The coat seems almost impervious
to water and with a few shakes it seems virtually dry. They
are strong powerful dogs with indomitable courage always
able to take care of themselves. Kind and companionable to
those they know. Very watchful of their master's interest
but woe unto the tramp or prowler that comes into his prem-
ises, they will be welcomed with a Bharp bark of warning and
the Booner they vacate that locality the better.

They are natural retrievers from water. No weather, ice
or current will ever stop them, the'hotter the shooting the
more fierce they are in their work. No other dog cau Btand
the exposure and hard work they can. Imported Irish Water
Spaniels and other Retrieves have been tried beside them on
the Chesapeake and have become so nearly exhausted that a
boat had to be sent to their rescue. They are very fast
swimmers, and when pursuing a wounded duck if it dives
they dive also. Possessed of keen sensitive noses it matters
not how dense or impenetrable the marsh is, if they oDce get
the scent of the duck that is down they find and fetch it.
Quitting or refusing to go is not in their vocabulary.

They are hardy and easily raised; I never lost one by dis-
ease. To retain their wonderful qualities they mnst be bred
in their purity, they will not stand out crossing. I have bred
them to Irish Water Spaniels, Setters and Retrievers and
he result is anything bat satisfactory.

THE GUN,

Mr. J. H. Mangels, of this citv, returned on August 4th
from a trip around the world, which has occupied him for a
little more than two yearB. The tour embraced pretty much
all the world but Africa, and the clear headed young San
Franciscan brought back a rare store'of experiences together
with loads of more tangible souvenirs, such as photographs
of noted places, and curios. Such an opportunity as that so
well improved by Mr. Mangels 1b rarely afforded, and it may
be said that few travellers so well improve their opportuni-
ties. Mr. Mangels will furnish some reminiscences to us
from time to time.

The letters about Mongolian pheasants which have recently
appeared in this paper, have been widely quoted, and have
excited remark in many circles. That they differ so remark-
ably it seems may be attributed more to lack of exact knowl-
edge on the part of some of the writers, than to any peculi-
arity of the birds which could give rise to the variations in
beliefs. Mr. Loud rather Beems to extablish his position as
one thoroughly versed in the habits of the pheasants, and he
is unmistakably opposed to them for the reason that they rlo
not lie to the dog. To our mind that is not an conclusive
reason for their non-introduction. In so far as we can learn,
pheasants do not lie well to a dog anywhere, but are most
advantageously hunted by driving them — the shooters being
posted either in open ways through woods or on the outskirts
of copses, while beaters thresh about through the covers and
put the birds out. In England, we believe, the practice is to
shoot them only as we have indicated. Whether the Chinese
bird affords good sport over dogs in China, cannot be ascer-
tained, but the probability is that his English congener is
about the same bird in habits. If we are right in the suppo-
sitions offered, then the desirability of the pheasant must
depend upon other qualities than mere lying to dogs. If the
bird is good food, breeds rapidly, does not destroy quail and
other ground-nesting game birds, it might well be introduce^.
Mr. Loud is quite certain that quail and ruffed grouse disap-.
pear in proDortion as the Mongolian pheasant multiples, but
he does not offer positive information on the point. We shall
be glad to receive the ideas of our readers generally on the
pheasant question. The Fish Commission is anxious to learn
the desires of sportsmen about game birds to be introduced
to California, and we hope there will be a free expression of
preferences, to the end that the importation and acolimation
may begin at once.

The inquiries about the coming meeting of the State
Sportsman's Association, which begins at 8an Jose on Octo-
ber 9th next, indicate a very general interest in the event.
An effort i<* bping made to induce teams from Seattle, Taco-
ma and Portland to attend as well &b from San Diego, Los
AneeUs, San Bernardino and other Southern cities. It is by
do means a slight undertaking for a team to do practice work,

travel seven or eight hundred miles, and spend the better
part of a week at the meeting shooting continuously, but the
coming gathering is so rich in the trophies offered and will
be such a rare convention in iN peraonelle that it will be
well worth the time and trouble to any one of twenty experts
in the North and fully as many in the South. The meeting
will be exclusively a trap meeting, except that a little routine
business must be transacted. The Secretary of the Associa-
tion urges those clubs and individual members who are in
arrears for dues to remit to him before October 1st.

Most effective work is being done by the Fish Commission
just now in the way of preventing the trapping and sale of
quails, The Commission haB deputized a large number of
sportsmen, all of whom are on the alert, to detect the pres-
ence of birds in the markets and restaurants. The remark
make by President Stackpool of the "Sportsmen's Protective
Association," that "the Commission was inert" was made in
ignorance of what is actually being done. Only last week
Deputy Commissioner F. P. Callnndan accompaoied
by a sportsman of this city, visited San Mateo County and
established a system of espionage on shooters which will pre-
vent the shipping of quails from the towns in that county.
Mr. Callnndan travelled through a wide extent of quail grou nd,
destroying traps, learning the names of men on whose lands
traps were found, and gathering information about the pot
shooterB who have been in the habit of slipping into the
country about San Francisco just before the opening of the
season and killing birds for sale to certain disreputable res-
taurants, the owners of which are so regardless of decency
and the law as to covetly offer unseasonable game to their
patrons. The restaurants are being visited by specially
appointed men, and whenever a proprietor can be found in
possession of quails, other than canned birda, an arrest and
prosecution will follow. The matter of Becuring evidence is
always a difficult one to encompass, and it is only by conjoined
efforts that the guilt of trespassers can be established. Mr.
Cullundan appointed some seven or eight deputies in San
Mateo County, selecting only these men who were recom-
mended as discreet, close-mouthed and nervy. The men
selected were advised that the commission would stand by
them solidly in all proper efforts to stamp out trapping and
illegal shooting. If the Fish Commission receives the unre-
served support of sportsmen and anglers, the coming year
will be a sultry one for poachers.

Sportsmen's Protective Association.

The association met in Knights of the Pied Branch Hall,
corner of Mason and O'Farrell streets, on Tuesday
evening last. After reading and approval of the
minutes, the report of the Board of Directors was
asked f«»r and Mr. J. L. Durkee reported that he had not
been tble to get the directors together, but hoped to do so at
some day in the near future. President Stackpool remarked
that the whole ma'.ter of enforcement of the game and fish
laws must rest with the Fish Commission. He was informed
that quail were openly offered at the tables of many restau-
rants in San Francisco, but the Fisb Commission overlooked
and tolerated the misdemeanor. He could not understand
the apathy of the Commission in the face of public opinion,
whicn was Betting so strongly for publication.

Treasurer's^ report — $199.70 balance on hard. A communi-
cation from &. A. Wolf, urging the association to adopt a
tadge or pin for use of membera was referred to the
Botrd of Directors.

The following were proposed for membership: Ben F.
Naphthaly, John Kerrigan, H. B Goslinger, J.'H. Van Bns-
kirk, John T. Beggs, Arthur Preese, Ike ComisoD, C. H.
Metz. On motion of Mr. M. Campbell it was ordered that
the treasurer deliver to any member in good standing, four
tickets entitling him to reduced fare over the S. F. N P. E.
E. Members to be entitled to more ticke'i if desired. On
motion of T Kennedy ordered that an attorney beengaged to
furnish a statement of the law in relation to the rights of
shooters to go upon levees to shoot, and also to define ac-
curately what constitutes a fence or inclosure.

In response to an invitation from President Stackpool, a
visiting sportsman recited his opinions in relation to the
right of trav lers along a highway to enter .upon adjacent
lands for the purpose of shooting thereupon. The speaker
was not acquainted with any statute permitting such entry,
and in his remarks entered upon a discussion of the princi-
ples which should guide gentlemen and sportsmen in the
practice of shooting and fishing He thought that the prin-
ciple noblesse oblige should control, and could not see how
any one entitled to be called "sportsman" could go where
fellow craftsmen had acquired exclusive shooting or fishing
privileges. The disposition to go all lengths to harass those'
who chose to form shooting clubs and secure control of
marshes should not be cultivated. The speaker could not
see why owners of land should not, if they chose, transfer to
clubs the shooting privileges on their property, nor could he
understand wh\ the clubs were not entitled to the fullest
protection under the law.

Mr. Thomas Kennedy very forcibly differed with the opin-
ions advanced. He deprecated the maintenance of shooting
preserves and insisted that access to lands upon which game
might be found bhould be perfectly free to all. He regarded
the establishment of preserves as a retrogade movement, and
the entering wedge which might result in the disruption of
free institutions. Mr. Kennedy strongly urged members of
the Association not to forget that the central principal of the
organization was opposition to exclusive shooting rights. Mr.
M. Canirjbell followed in a similar strain, and grew fairly
eloquent in bis animadversions upon the ways and motives
of those who were leaaing shooting rights and establishing
preserve clubs. Mr. Thomas Haggerty agreed with bAh of
the preceding speakers. The discussion then became general,
President Stackpool supporting the opposition to the pre-
serves, and being followed by all of those who Bpoke. The
Association then adjourned.

To the top of Mt. Whitney.

Br C. E. Shebman.

Eight certain gentlemen of Bakersfiell, of varied profes-
sions and with diverse interests in every day affairs, resolved
with one accord to go upon a pilgrimage; enduring the
hardships of a weary way; plodding by road and trail over
long mileB of uninhabited lands, and toiling with patience
down, up and over steep defiles, to the end that three re-
wards might be fairly won, namely: the grand presence of
the everlasting hilh; royal fishing, and the summit of the
highest shrine in the Sierra Nevada chain.

Whereupon, folly equipped, on July 3. 1889, this band of
zealons pilgrims left the town of Bakersfield. The faithful
record of their itinerary, by their own courtesy, will be nar-
rated in these columns from time to time, until the tale is
told. Roster:— H A. Blodget. H. F. Condict, George Dag-
gett, W, E. Houghton, E, T. Houghton, I. L. Miller, A. J.

Monlty and Jose Peralta. Items— Thirteen saddle and pack
animals, accontered; tools, artis'ic, scientific and murderous;
eatables, various and ample; servicable comforts for the
night watohes; snake poison; attic silt and a modicum of
social pepper sauce. Name:— The Mt. Whitney Photo Camp-
ers.

Even as clans, at the order of their chieftain gather at one
assembling place, so by team and by rail the pilgrims set out
for the rendezvous at Caliente, where packing and general
tribulation was ordered to commence. Animal nature cornea
out strong at the outset of things and did the same here.
One unruly horse scattered bis pack to about seven winds
of heaven and wasted snake poison enough for many days'
needs. One lazy mule invited and received cordwood treat-
ment, accompanied with proper objurgations, yet not until
his rider ha-1 been almost given up for" lost. But he was re-
trieved in splendid order. Leavins Caliente at 1 P. M., the
watering trough was reached at 1:30, where a halt was called
and the my b tic rites of rest and refreshment were indulged in
nntil3. At 6:15 p. m. Pilgrim camp was struck at Walkers
Basin. Elevation at watering trough 2,200 feet. Temper-
ature, watering trough, 2 p. m., July 30th, 102 degrees;
Walkers Basin, 5 a m.( July 3lst, 86 degrees. The gorgeous
shower bath under Basin Creek dam was fully improved, and
in the early evening hours the ladies, resident and visitant,
honored the pilgrims by flocking en masse to their camp.

WALKERS BASIN

Never really was discovered; it grew. In the early days o*
the wo'ld, probably in the Jurassic age, it was an irregular
sided, but in the main, a triangular shaped rift between mas-
sive cliffs, with narrow outlet, and a main, broader inlet.
The slickens of Time have filled in and leveled up the jagged
canyon, until it is now indeed a basin; its sides the now
rounded mountains; its bottom fairly level, gently sloping to
a westerly outlet, and perhaps at its greatest, four miles
across by seven or eight miles in length. It has also a lesser
inlet that is itself a lesser basin from its surrounding hills to
its outpour into the larger creation. Early in the 50's Joe
"Walker, the noted scout, trapper and pioneer camped here,
Bnd from him and its own fitness comes the title, Walkers
Basin. In 1855, Charles Weick, the first settler there, built
a cabin near the present bridge over Basin Creek, and took
up 160 acres of land. He was a German, intelligent, bright,
and a great reader. His remains now lie in their last earthly
home, upon a little knoll over-looking what was once all his
own, and within perhaps 200 yards of the dwelling which
he built, wherein he lived, dreamed his dreams, spun his
fancies, and finally pissed beyond all his earthly hopes,
imaginings and ambitions. Peace to his soul! Later in the
same year Robert Wilson took up the present L:ghtner place,
and built an adobe which still stands as part of the house at
the Lightner homestead. He had a Spanish wife and bands
of wild Mexican horses and cattle. In 1855 or '56 the United
States Surveyor-General Bent out a party which ran lines and
established corners in the valley. John B. Beck brought
in the first American family, when his dear ones came and
settled with him there in 1857. A neat cemetery, with iron
railings marks the spot where he placed his beloved dead.

In the fall of 1858 Abiah T. Lightner, with his family,
moved into the Basin, and bought the Wilson ranch with its
stock of cattle and horses. And upon the s-ame place still
stands the Lightner homestead, ocupied by his decendants,
with doors open wide to welcome goests, and never shut in
the face of passing strangers. In '62 and '63 the Owens River
Indians beoame hostib, and in 1864 the whole band were cap-
tured by U. S. forceB under the command of Captain Mc-
Laughlin and taken to Fort Tf jon. Many got away, and as
refugees, for a while hauuted the coun'ry between the Basin
and the Keysville mines. At that time mining supplies were
packed in from Allen's Camp — now known as Caliente— or
were hauled in via Mejave and Kelsoe Canyon. Several
times teamsters and travelers were ambushed by these In-
dians. A group of three surprised Mason, a Mexican, and in
the melee, during which he fired several shots, two of his fin-
gers were shot off. He finally left his mnle and succeeded in
escaping. At another time a train was ambushed and every-
thing taken. Three teamsters were Killed and only one man
escaped, "W. F. Dawson, now living in Tehachipa.who actual-
ly outran the hostile Indians. D. W. Walser's present place
was originally called Harmon's hay ground. Harmon cut na-
tural hay there as early as "56 and used to haul it to the mineB,
going on the ridgas, with logs bitched behind at the descents
and at the last and steepest one, snubbing the load down
with ropes. In the Spring of 1867 Wm. H. Williams, known
to this day as Hamp Williams, while herding cattle, acciden-
tally discovered rich gold croppiogs Bticking out of the
ground. He sold the pro-pect, without striking a pick into
it, for §2,000 to Hank Burdette, and then the noted Joe
"Walker mine began to become famous. The cropping show-
ed gold throughout, and for 83 feet the Bhaft carried a 4-foot
vein of very rich quartz, with a seam on the foot wall
worth thousands of dollarB in gold per ton The cropping
had often been Been before, but everyone had carelessly eyed
it, and the general opinion was that it was only part
of a feldspar dyke. A twenty stamp mill was erected, and
for a long time the output averaged $1,000 a day.

Down in the depths of the earth, one day while working
in the hanging wall, an undergrourd reservoir, or a hitherto
hidden water course was tapped. A stream nearly the size
of a man's body, suddenly shot out with tremendous force
andvhe miners had hardly time to escape before the mine
was full of water. There is a legend that the ore continue
rich at the present depth of 400 f. et. and two different at
tempts have been made, both unsatisfactory, to handle the
water and resume mining. There are those who say that
the ledge has little value in the lower workings, but that
great body of wator has for many years sealed the secret.
On February 12, 1867, Abiah T. Lightner left his home at 2
o'clock in the morning, with a load of hay for the Havilah
mining oamp.

At the foot of the first hill a passing Mexican met the team
with the overturned wagon, and going a little further found
the body of Mr. Lightner, with the cheBt, hips and shoulders
crushed. And so ended the life of a brave, conscientious
and honorable man. In '67 Andrew McGuirk settled ia
nearly the center of the Basin, and hie family now occupy
the same place and dwell in the same pleasant homestead.
He was found dead in the eatly fall of the year 1873, near
the Jo. "Walker mine. And thus two of the pioneers of
Walkers Basin have died, by sudden accident, away from
and yet hardly out of sight of home. In 1S08 Thomas Will-
iams settled, and with his funrly still lives in the lesser Ba-
Bin, which id a fertile, co^y valley, among other things con-
taining hot soda springs.

This digression may not even have been dreamed of by the
Pilgrims; it wa6 certainly not told at their camp fire, for its
embers have long since gone to ashes. So, forty miles on
their pilgrimage, wrapped in the restful slumbers of t?red en-
thusiasts, left them be left until the opening of I
their journey's history.

the State. However, later in the afternoon, when the
news came that El Rio Rey, the two-year-old son of Nor-
folk and. Marion, had won the rich White Plains Stake
in the almost inconceivable time cf 1:11 for three-quar-
ters, carrying 126 pounds, the enthusiasm broke loose
again, and the wonderful time and the immense weight
carried was tin sole topic of conversation in sporting cir-
cles. There are many who fancy, and very justly too,
that it will be a generation before the time is beat under
like conditions. At any rate it stamps Mr. Winters
colt as being the very best that ever lived in America,
and we congratulate him heartily on his good fortune.

Stockton, Vallejo, £ an Jose and Fresno.

The original circuit is almost completed, Sacramento
will finish it up, and it can be truly said that California
has never had more enjoyable racing than that seen for
the past four weeks. Surprises have been of constant
occurrance and the true worth of many of the contestants
is not positively known as yet. The breeders and
owners are just as anxious to reduce the records
as the public is to see the sport, and con-
sequently many entries will be made to-morrow and
Monday for the meetings to be held at Stockton, Fres-
no, San Jose and Vallejo. It is a great pity that there
is a clash of dates between Fresno and San Jose, and it
]& to be hoped that before the nest season rolls arouDd
that, arrangements will be perfected to prevent a like
occurrence. Advertisements giving a full account of the
various programmes will be found in the proper col-
umns, which it will be well for all who desire to
enter in the second circuit, to read, as the purses and
conditions are therein stated fully. We trust to be able
to publish next week the gratifying intelligence that at
all points the purses and stakes have filled well, and if
there are only a titbe of the grand contests seen in the
latter part of the season that has already been witnessed,
it will be many a long day before the record for 1889 will
be rubbed out.

Petaluma.

Since the opening of Morris Park at Westchester the
surprises have been so frequent that of late the public
does not feel the same gratification which once aroused
the sluggish temperment and caused the face of the en-
thusiast to lighten up with joy. Geraldine, a Califor-
nian born and bred, was the first of the sprinters to have
her name wafted from one end of the country to the
other as the only thoroughbred xrho had ever run five-
eighths of a mile in the even minute. This was person-
ally pleasing to all residents of the Golden State who f
love to follow the fortunes of the runners, for State pride
naturally played a very important part in their joyous
feelings. A quarter of a second is a nice slice to cut
from a record, and naturally our exhuberance of spirits
was somewhat checked when the telegraph flashed the
news that Tipstaff had also smashed a record, bat in this
instance had cut down Force's and Tom Hood's time for
three-quarters of a mile a full second. When this was
followed in a few days by another dispatch stating that
Tenny had also run the same distance in 1:12, equalling
the time of Tipstaff, the performance of G-eraldine
seemed to sink into insignificance. However, California
had the record for the shorter distance and we were com-
paratively happy.

When the news reached San Francisco last Saturday
afternoon that Britannic, had beaten Geraldine's time by
a second completing five-eighths in fifty-nine seconds, a
blow seemed to have been struck at the horse interests of

Beautiful weather, splendid attendance, first-class
racing, and a magnificent pavilion exhibit, all tended to
make the Petaluma Fair a grand success. The directors
had worked together "witu a will, not leaving a stone
unturned which might add to the ultimate result, and,
as a consequence, have finished their labors with a
handsome profit for the association. This is as it should
be, with united effort, an enthusiasm is aroused locally,
and neighbors vie with each other in turning out to sefc
the attractions, but where there is internal strife, as in
Santa Rosa, only oae outcome can be expected, and that
with a balance on the wrong side of the ledger. The
Petaluma people, however, assisted the society in every
way possible, and they are now happy in the consola-
tion that their section stands equal with any of the
agricultural districts that have so far held their fairB-
The racing was not as sensational as that at Napa, for
in the case of the latter place most of the horses were
green, and were therefore unknown quantities; but now
that it is known what the performers can do, the audi-
ence expect fast time from those that have already shown
it. One of the happy events was the downfall of Lillie
Stanley by Dawn, the stallion being a great local favor-
ite, his owner, Mr. Whitney, being one of the promi-
nent merchants of the town, and at the end of each
heat, as he came under the wire winner, the occupants
of the grand stand would raise en masse and almost
shout themselves hoarse at the victory of the favorite.
What added more to the enjoyment of the occasion was
the fact that he lowered his record from 2:19£ to 2:18$,
and he could have lowered it still further, but the mare
had an aptitude for breaking and could not force him
oat.

Several others of the contestants have reduced their
marks, Dotably Express from the Palo Alto farm from
2:23£ to 2:21, Longworth has proved himself a fast pacer
and gets his maiden brackets, the time being 2:19^, 2:20£
and 2.21£, showing that Mr. Dietz has a colt of unusual-
excellence. The mighty Guy Wilkes has a worthy re-
presentative in Lillian Wilkes, who defeated the sup-
posed to be invincible Sunol, and gained a 2:17| credit
for herself, and Hazel Wilkes got a record of 2:224;.
Pedlar is another of the get of Electioneer to enter the
charmed circle, he having made a record of 2:27| in the
two year-old stake. Senator Rose had the pleasure of
seeing his Alcazar yearling filly trot under the wire in
2:36, and it is the firm belief of all that were present that
Norlaine's 2;31£ is in great danger from this new Los
Angeles aspirant. Taken all in all the meeting has
been a very successful one, and one cf which those who
have assisted may well feel proud.

And now Belmont wants El Rio Rey, and is willing to Dut
up $60,000 for the colt. He is worth every cent of the money,
as he is the best two-year-old this country has ever seen.

C. N., City.

When yoa have a little space to spare in the paper, several
parties would like to have you answer this question, us con-
siderable of a discussion arose about the same. I am using
wet bandage?, as I thought, to keep the fever out and
strengthen the legs after a drive. One party disagreed and
then was joined by another. He claimed they act like a
3te im ba'h and weaken the leg3. He says, only use the brush
well, and if any bandage, a dry one. Which is right?

Answer. — The care of horses legs after exercise has been a
que tion for many years. Nine-tenths of the drivers believe
in the wet bandage, while the others are opposed to the idea.
From personal observation we b.lteve that nine out of everj'
ten horses require the wet bandage, while the odd one Bhocll
have the dry bandage only.

The following letter was ieceived by Mr. Gamble and he
requests us to pablish it, so that those who can give the de-
sired information may do so.

Union Springs, N. Y., Aug. 26, '89.

Ms. Samoel Gamble — Dear Sic:— In looking over my
papers I fiud one ir Jin you to Mr Milton Hoag, of Seneca
Falls, N. YM in reference to the horse Niagara. It seems to
be now settled that thin horse is by Tom Wonder 147, son of
Tom Crowder. This Niagara is registered No. 234, was bred
by S. R. Bowne Flatbush, L. I., N. Y.; his dam was by Ab-
dallah. I would be obliged to yoa for any information you
can give about his produce in California, besides Lady Hoag.
I think this information will be of use to owners of stock
descended from Niagara, as it not only adds two valuable
strains of trotting; blood, but a standard strain in at that.
Yours very truly, T. A. Hendrick.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman : — Will you please have
this above letter published in your next issue, as some of
your readers may know something about it, if this is the
same breeding th it was giving this horse Niagara, when he
made seasons in and about Stockton, some years back.

Yours truly, Sam Gamble.

Mr. Hendrick has been hunting for a long time for the
pedigree of Niagara and has come to the conclusion that Nia-
gara 234, is the one that came to California. We have almost
positive evidence that it is not the same Niagara, but one
fully as well bred, and we hope before long to be able to prove
it to the world. The gentleman who brought lo Niagara this
State is still living and he has sent us the names of the par-
ties from whom he bought the horse and also tells where
Niagara was bought as a yearling, and we are at present iu
coirespondence with the parties, and hope to be able to clear
up the mystery of his breeding. However, if any of our
readers can give Mr Hendrick the information he desires, we
have no doubt he will appreciate the favorf

J. H. M., City.

Will you please give me, through the columns of your
paper, the pedigree of Old Sport, a San Jose horse, bnt now
owned by Dick Egan of this city. Also of the great horse
Chicago, and whether or not he ever trotted against Lucy.

Answer. — "Chester" give the sire of Old Sport as by Comet.
You can probably get further information by addressing
James H. Howard, 32 Light-tone Street, San Jose. Chicago
by Ole Bull, dam by American Eclipse (?). He was also
known as Jim Kockey and Hard Bread; under the Dame of
Rockey we find he started against a mare called Lucy, at
Norwalk, Ohio, August 24, 1887. This Lucy has a record of
2:35, aud was not the trotting mare of that name that came to
California.

That Frank Baldwin is a good worker is evidenced by the
following telegram: —

Breeder and Sportsman: I have made arrangements with
the Southern Pacific to curry all race horses, trotters and men
in attendance in same car to our fair and return at one full
fare for the round trip. Please make note of this in the next

At least five of the s'arteis iD the novice's race on Novem-
ber 28th, will gee under eleven seconds.

P. D. Sktllman, the well known New York runner, is at
present in San Francisco. Mr. Sftulmtto came to California
with the intention of competing in the games that were to be
held on September 9th, but which are unavoidably postponed
until Thanksgiving Day. After spending a few weens in
'Fiisco, he will return East. The local crack runners will
not weep over his departure, for the Eastern amateur is
c p ible of giving the Pacific Coast champion a start of a hun-
dred yards in a mile run.

The sixth cross country ran of the Olympic Athletio Club
was hel i at Sau Mateo on Sunday last. Oa account of the
warm weather the pace was very slow, and none of the
starters were forced to over-exert themselves. The swim at
the close of the run waB highly appreciated, and the vary
liberal oollation supplied by the club was partaken of witli
much zest by the weary foot-racers. The next run of the
club will probably take place over the same oonrse.

A large crowd of well known professional and amateur
athletes were noticed amougBt the fishermen at Tiburon on
Sunday last.

The amateur boxers of the 0. A. A. 0, are anxiously await-
ing the arrival of September 16ib, when the: entries for the
boxing tournament will be made known. Much doubt at
present exisiB as to whether the leading outside cIuOb \\ .11
allow their men to enter or nut.

From present indications the initial games of the C. A. A.
C. will not take place this year. The young members are
growing very uneasy, and the directors of the club should
offer t u(.m come inducements before it is too late.

Conneff, the champion one-mile runner, and Malcom W.
Ford, the all round athlete may possibly take a flying tiip to
California about the time the new O. A. C. grounds will be
opened.

An article recently appeared in a local daily paper which
insinuated that Moffet's record of rive feet, eight and a naif
inches for the running high jump was not equal to the per-
formrnoe dona a couple of years ago by A. H. Ltau. As we
w=re present when both records were made, we are able tu
throw a little light on the subject. Mr. Lean's jump of rive
feet eight and three quarters of an inch was an exhibi-
tion jump, and besides Lean was compelled to take several
triil* before finally getting over the bar. At the last cham-
pionship meeting, when Mr. Moffet jumped bve feet eight
and a half inches, he cleared the bar easily on the second
trial, and it was evident to all present that he was capable of
getting over a couple of inches nigher. Mr. Moffet's record
was legitimately nmde, and it should be allowed as the
Pacific Coast record.

Howard will represent the Pacific Athletic Club in the
walking event on Thanksgiving Day.

The warm weather has proved a boon to the out-door ath-
letes, and many of them may be seen training late at night.

P.J. Higgins, the well-known Irish amateur runner, ia
still in San Francisco. He will not start in to train until
suitable training grounds are established, for a bad track, he
says, harts a man more than it helps him.

A match sprint run between Dave Egan aDd T. Powers
would attract much attention, as both men are evenly
matched.

It is more than probable that when \V. Greer Harrison, the
peerless President of the O. A. C , returns from England,
where at present he is visiting, he will introduce several new
ideas at future out-door meetings of his club.

A competent trainer will be stationed at the new out-door
grounds of the O. A. C. so that the athletes can get properly
rubbed down at all hours of the day or evening.

Among the members of the new Lurline Club are some
very promising amateur boxers.

The winter in-door meeting of the P. A. C. promises to be
a big success. Some of the other athletic clubs should follow
the example of the P. A. C. and make arrangements for the
holding of in-door handicap meetings during the coming
spring. These meetings are always well attended in the
Eastern cities, and as San Francisco is a sport-loving city,
there is no reason why they should not be a success here.

W. H Wood, a well-known professional runner, has ap-
plied for reinstatement to the P. C. A. A. A. We hope the
association will not be foolish enough to reinstate him. When
an athlete once tarns his back on amateurdom with the full
knowledge of what be is doing he should never be taken
back into the fold again. If snch a man as Wood were to be
reinstated, amateur athletics would soon degenerate.

Mr. A. C. McDowell, Honorary Secretary of the Amateur
Athletic Association of Canada, announces a championship
meeting for Sept. 23th, on the Kosedale Athletic grounds at
Toronto. Running events are 100, 220, 440, 880, 1760 and
3520 yards 120 yards hurdle, three mile walk, pole high leap,
running high and broad jumps throwing 56 pounds weight,
patting 16 pound shot and throwing the 16 pound hammer.
Open to all amateurs. Entries close Sept. 21st. Fee 50
eeuts in each event.

AT THE OARS.

On last Sunday the bay was as smooth as glass and the
oarsmen were out in full force. Every rowing club around
the bay was represented by one or more crews.

Several of the local crews rowed over to Tiburon and Sau-
salito.

The Ariel Rowing Club has an amateur crew that can get
away with any other amateur crew on the coast.

The Lurline Club will put several crews in the field .

Odds are now being freely offered on Searle, and as the day
of the race approaches his backers feel more confident of his
ability to down the Canadian champion. Like all other big
sporting events the winner will be crowned a king while the
loser wU.1 sink into oblivion.

THE WHEELMEN.

Several wheelmen who hive lately returned frum the in-
terior say that the roads are covered with dust, and that rid-
ing in some parts of the country on this account is rather
disagreeable-

The fifth anniversary party of the Bay City Wheelmen
which took place on last Saturday evening was a big success.
The programme opened with a literary and musical enter-
tainment, after which speech making followed. The finale
was in the shape of a very toothsome repast which was vastly
enjoyed by the large number of guests assembled. Several
wheelmen from the neighboring towns were present, and
many high compliments were paid to the B. C. W. on their
ability to entertain their friends while on the track and in
their rooms.

The hot weather on Sunday last oaused the wheelmen to
desert the suburbs, and only a few stray wheels were to b«
seen. The majority of the boys thought that a dip in tha
bay, or a rest in the shade was a more sensible way of pass-
ing the Sabbath, than risking the chance of getting sun
stricken, while wandering around on their wheels.

Knapp and Morgan, the professional riders at present on
the CoaBt, will endeavor to get up a tournament at the
Haight St. grounds before leaving the city. The tournament
will last two or three days. They will also attempt to Btart
a six-day bioycle race for females in the Mrchanics Pavil-
ion.

The weather in the interior is too hot for racing at this
time of the year, and the local wheelmen should be glad
that the San Jose meating was abindoned.

The membership of the San Francisco Bicycle Club is
steadily increasing.

The bicycle events at the O. A. C. games on Thanksgiving
Day will no doubt attract a large field of competitors, Good
prizes will be given and this fact may have,a tendency to coax
some of the old-time riders to go into training again.

IN THE SURF.

Sunday last was a busy day at the different bath houses,
as crowds of suffering humanity sought to cool themselves
in the refreshing and cool surf. At certain times during the
day it was impossible to obtain a suit at the Terrace or Shel-
ter Cove swimming baths.

The Terrace Swimming Clnb was out in full force. Some
of the members remained in the water for two or three hours,
and evtn then were not satisfied.

Owing to the warm weather there was a slight falling off in
the attendance at the Palace and Crystal Baths, the regular
customers of these places preferring the open sea to the warm
water in the tanks.

The weather will probably remain warm for some time to
come, and the bathers will have a chance to enjoy the emf.

John Fay is one of the best swimmers at the Shelter Cove
baths, and he never misses a day without going around the
buoy anchored an eighth of a mile from shore.

Mrs. Webb is the best lady swimmer at these baths, and
she also thtnks nothing of taking in the buoy.

The new olub connected with the baths has been christened
the Lurline. Some of the best amateur swimmers on the
coast are amongst the members, and the initial swimming
races of the club will be worth watching,

CLUE JOTTINGS.

It is more than, probable that the Golden Gate Athletio
Club will make an effort to secure a lease ol the club rooms
at present occupied by the O. A. C, when the latter club
moves to its new building on Post Street.

The directors of the C. A. C. are trying to secure a two-
year's lease of Harbor View Park, that they may turn it inlo
a pleasure resort for the members of the club. If they are
successful in making suitable arrangements with the proprie-
tor, work will be commenced at once, and in a very short
time a complete transformation of the park will be effected.
A running track, gymnasium, hot and cold water baths,
dressing rooms and a boat house will be built. Several racing
and pleasure boats will be purchased for the use of the mem-
bers, and a steam barge belonging to the club will make fre-
quent trips between the city front and the park in order to
takeout members who are desirous of visiting the grounds.
We hope the directors mean business this time, for such an
extension to the club would certainly help to attract a good
many new members.

So far the Pacific Athletic Club has been unable to secure
more extensive headquarters. The committee appointed by
the club to look after new club rooms say that it is impossible
at present to rent suitable rooms, as all the large halls are
rented by new athletio organizations.

The annual election of the Olympic Club was held on Mon-
day last. There were two tickets in the field, but the only
difference in them, was that the name of Mr. Walter A. Scott
was the regular candid ite for Leader, while John A. Ham-
mersmith was the candidate of the opposition. The
latter carried off the honors with a vote of 168, against 156
for Scott. Following are the names of the new Directors,
together with the vote thev polled: William Greer Harrison,
322 votes. R. P. Hammond 324, W.E. Holloway 324, Henry
B. Rusb 325, John A. Hammersmith 168, Alex C. Forsythe
325, M. H. Weed 325, Alfred B. Field 325, Barry Baldwin 325,
Ed. A. Rix324, J. H. Gilhuly 321. The Directors will hold
a meeting next week, when it is expected that W. Greer Har-
rison will be elected President, R, P. Hammond Jr. Vice-
President, W. E. Holloway Secretary, Henry B. Russ Treas-
urer, and John A. Hammersmith Leader.

The TJ, A. C. should inolude several open events on their
next programme of games*. The action of the athletic com-
mittee in reserving most of the events for their own athletes
appear to be rather selfish, and we honestly hope that they
will be more liberal to outstde athleteB when the time for
their next field-day arrives.

CORRESPONDENCE.

South Louisville, Ky., Aug. 17, 18S9.

Editor Breeder and Spoilsman:— It ii aiiout i nn I wis
beard from again, thooeh I can say but lit.le to mieiest your
readers who dwell on tLe "slope." The result of the Otnmi-
bun was a severe damper to the people of tbU city (Loom-
ville), most of whom pinned their faith to that excellent
horse "Proctor." How conld anyone who saw him at Nash-
ville and in the Kentucky Derby be made to believe that any
horse could defeat him when he was right? And it wa<
given out that he was right, for the Omnibus. Now, it was
the mud. Well, it is a year for wondeiful three-year-oldB,
if LongBtreet, Salvator, and Spokane are his equal. As
Spokane won the Kentucky Derby, many papers erroneously
give him the credit of the fractional time in tuat race. That
is all wrong. Proctor at the quarter, PrLC'.or at the hall,
Proctor at three-quarter, Proctor at the mile, Proctor at the
mile and a quarter is the way it was run, and that much of
the race surely belongs to him. And only beaten a neck at
the finish, when at the last sixteenth he was two lengths be-
hind, and had he been given head only a little sooner il is at
least doubtful if he would not have won the race. Horses
are now comi .g in for the fall meeting here, which pr^misfs
good for a f. 11 meeting. The country is alive with untried
two-year-olds, and it is likely the green stake will till well.
And tome good racing material will devdope here. What a
year for three-iear-oids '90 will be, il Uayuga, El Rio Eey,
Penu P , Avondale, Phceoix and Onaway are laken care of;
to say nothing of others that are jet to develop. Of tLe
lot I would now pin my faith to the' son of Mr. Pickwick
for a great horse next year. His way of going cannot be
discounted. I have seen three or lour horses ihit. if proper-
ly prepared, conld take in the "California $20,000." Terra
Cotta is one of tbem and the first one I would select.

Il is to be hoped tbe rtake will till well. If my old friend
Capt. Moore was alive, he would be in the fight and find
another Foster, exiled to some sparse region, awa ting him,
for a careful, but rapid "rounding up." L. M. Lasley & Co-,
have bought of Norvin Harris, of Hursthurn farm, St. Mat-
hews, Ky., the 2-ye»r old brotherin-blood to Gray6on, by
Geo. Kinney; dam Bijore, and L. M. Lasly h»s bought a half
intere.t in a yearling b c. by Longfellow, dam Stephanie;
by Powhattan; Stephanie out of Zilpah, by Foster. How is
that for breeding? At all events, he is a rasping fine year-
ling, and well entered now in the "big events," so also, is
the large handsome yearling by CoLcregan, out of Olena—
Santaline's dam. This should be a good stable in '90, with
some eight or ten good two-year-olds, and Wood Moss, Sa-
maritan, Silence, and Miss Lincoln— three-year-olds. The
latter four will start here this fall, and may do something to
their credit. Some of them may yet winter on the "slope."

Tour cut of Geraldine sometime Bince, is a splendid like-
ness of Silence, and they posstss the same characteristics as
described. Allset.

Pierre Lorillard, of New York, has asked the Palo Alto
management to set a price on Racine. He has made an offer
of $14,000 for Ihe colt, but Senator Stanford is inc.ined to
keep him. There are lots of people who firmly believe that
Bacine can beat El Bio Bey, and it may be possible tunt the
great tobacco man wants to have a go at the Winter's stable
for two-year-old honors.

Eastern Fruit Packing and Shippiog.

Written for The Breeder and Sportsman.

Id last week's issue nothing was mentioned in regard to
tbe preparation of fruit, for eastern markets. "Hints on
Iruit packing" treatirg entirely on the manner of packing for
our home markets. The trade in green fruits has grown su
large and been extended so far, duriDg the last few years,
that it is one of the principal industries or main branches in
connection with the fruit business. So far, as the market
for California green fruit has extended, as many cities and
towns as the wide spread trade haB reaohed, you will still
meet with parties from the East that have never seen our
fruit, in tbe localities that they come from. It is supposed
that all the principal arteries of the trade have been tapped
and our fruit strewn broadcast, in all the principal places of
the United States, but there is reason to believe and faots to
show, that it can be spread still farther. There are times
when Chicago, the main distributing point, is completely
glutted with green trait. This should be remedied and the
fruit more widely distributed. The fault does not, in all
probability, lie with the managers of the fruit unions. They
cannot control the distribution to small towns, that bas either
got to be done by their agents id the principal cities or by a
general dispatcher situated in some central location. Probab-
ly the onions have done all in their power in appointing
agents, instructing them in the delivery and distribution of
the fruit and there is a general manager in the East, during
the shipping season. Tt seems as though there should be no
occasion for a material lowering of prices, not down to what
the fruiv costs laid down and often not enough to pay for
the cost of packing and boxing. The crops of fruit in differ-
ent sectioDB of the States, regulate the prices of our fruit,
but if Michigan is sending peacheb into Chicago at tbe same
time that we are shipping there, it naturally will cause a glut
in the market, of that particular fruit. If such be the case,
why not divert our peaches and ship to other markets, aw»<y
from Michigan or any other locality shipping the same frait.
There are probably hundreds of towns that are not thought
large enough, with but a small trade, that are ignored en-
tirely by those having in charge the distribution of the fruit.
These should all come in for their share and be canvassed
thoroughly. It will have to be done eventoally, and the
aooner the better, the trade is growing so fast, that every ave-
nue of escape, in case of a glutted market shoold be utilized to
the utmost. Especially is the crowded condition of the East-
ern markets noted during the fall, when the larger portion of
green pears are shipped. Then is the time that the managers
and snippers should direct their best efforts, in seeing that
the markets are not over stocked. There is no reason why
a glut should occur at that time. The East cannot raise
pears enough to supply their own wants or come anj where
near doing it, for the reason that they are troubled bo much
by the pear blight, whole orchards haviDg been rendered
useless, and dug up, on account of this. Owing (o its fine
shipping qualities in comparison with the pit fruits, there is
no trouble in shipping to the moat distant places in the
United States and Canada. There was a time when it re-
quired but little foresight and judgment to realize large re-
turns in the Eastern shipping of green fruit, but at the pres-
ent time thines are different, and it requires aB much calcu-
tion and probably a little more than it would in figuring on
merchandise, owing to so many risks being taken from "the
time the fruit 1b picked, during transportation, and until it
readies its destination. When even there the market ib very
uncertain. The weather if propitious and the fruit well
packed, generally places the fruit in good condition on ar-
rival. These are the two principal factors, together with the
market that controls our Eastern shipping.

Freight is an established thing; we know all about that
before the fruit is shipped; that probably bothers the shipper
the leaBt, although he needs lower rates badly, compared with
these other things. He does not have to worry over his
freight bill, aB he would over the weather, that is paid or
guaranteed, so does not trouble him as much as the pr'ce
that the fruit will finally bring. If the fruit passes through
a thunder-storm and warm weather, there may be a balance
on the debit side of the account sales for the hopeful shipper
to pay. This is discouraging, and many carloads of this
kind would soon prevent further shipments, but as a general
rule there is no danger of the fruit arriving in bad order if
properly attended to on this side. The standard and excel-
lence of our fruits should be kept up as muoh as possible.
Proper attention on thiR side will do more toward our holding
it up and keeping it in the favor of Eastern patrons than
anything else. Because our fruit has heretofore had the
reputation of being the best and most called for, does not
warrant us in lowering the quality of oor goods one mite, but
we should endeavor in all ways to even try and place our
fruit way ahead of the well known standard of former years,
and keep it at its height, even if less fruit is shipped.

It is a well known faot that the San Francisco market is
not supplied with the extra grades of fruit of the shipping
varieties. This year it haB shown up a great deal better
than for some seasons, probably for the reason that the crops
were so large, and for another, that a great many of the small
growers prefer shipping here and being sure of a small profit
rather than send their fruit oat of the State and take their
chances.

Among hundreds of shipperB there are and alwayB will be
some who will not try to suBtain our reputation, even when
cautioned by the managera of our fruit" unions, and being
told how to arrange and pack their fruits to the beBt advan-
tage. There will alwavs be more or less slouohing in the
packing, and when so done the shipment should be immedi-
ately condemned at Sacramento by the general managers. It
is not right that a lot of scrubby and scale-covered fruit
should be allowed to be shipped aloDgside of that where the
utmost pains have been taken with it. When a carload
arrives at its destination, a small inferior shipment may be a
great detriment in the sale of the entire car, injuriog the good
fruit more than what the poor is worth, sometimes a great
many times over.

Small orchardists who have parts of carloads to send East
■will generally do better by sellirjg their fruit outright to the
local shippers, who have had the experience so valuable to
successful shipping. A great many who ship in a small way
iu connection with the unions, do not take the pains to learn
and study up the routine necessary, while the large shippers
make it their business to carefully note every change iu the
ways of the business, the same as a doctor is continually
looking up new remedies for diseases. A man may be a most
thorough cultivator, taking pains to see that not a weed is
left to mar the looks of his orchard, he may keep his trees
nicely pruned and produce a first class fruit, but when it
comes to the disposing of his crop, he is in the dark bb to the
beBt means of so doing. To those it would to well for them
to visit the larger orchards and take lessons in the packing,
and take notice of any items that would benefit them in the
leaBt degree.

The largest orchardists and shippers are often considered
by the smaller to have the control of the business, and are
looked upon by a great many as their enemies. Of course
tbey control the smaller orchardists to a great extent in their
business. Do they not regulate the price to some extent?
Holding out for the higheBt that they can get, consulting
with each other on the various ways of disposing of their
fruit so as not to cause a glut in the local marketB. Do they
not introduce better and cheaper ways of packing? Experi-
menting with tbe new box, crate or chest; throwing it aside
if not presenting any new advantages. Who is it that gets
the railroads to lower freight rates? The large orchardists;
and it is for their interest first and last to see to all of these
things, helping and aiding the small grower in numerous
ways. They experiment very often, Bpendmg considerable
money in finding new washes and remedies for iosect pests;
these tbe small grower gets the benefit of gratis, for the large
grower is always willing to impart any information in his
power to any of his co-laborers in horticulture. It is well for
all of these things to be understood, and for the owners of
small tracts to consider the large orchardists his friends, and
a benefit to tbe State at large. Perhaps as the cherry season
has passed, nothing need be said for the present, of the place
and iuterest that this fruit occupies in our Eastern shipping.
Pears, having probably as large a representation as any
other variety, will interest as dany as any other fruit in the
Eastern trade, shipped from this S;ate. We will class them
as the authorities do, as summer, fall and winter pearn, treat-
ing each class separately in regard to tbe packing, and only
of the best and most popular shipping varieties out of the
several hundred on rtcord. Of all onr pears, whether for
the table or canning, none have been fou>d to supersede the
Bartlett. This is generally the first summer pear shipped,
and the early ones always command a good price. The
Doyenne BonBSock, while not a first-class shipper, finds
favor early in the season, but the later ones do not turn out
as well generally. This pear ripens very rapidly after being
picked, and will not stand any delay in transportation. The
Flemish Beauty, while being a very fine flavored pear, is not
a good shipper, very few, if any, going EaBt now. Most of
the trees ot this fine variety have been grafted and worked
over with other varieties. They, however, command a good
price in this market. The Benrre Hardy is very extensively
sh pped, but does not bring the top price. It is, however, a
delicious pear, and the only reason for its not selling higher
is that it is shipped in such quantities. The juicy Summer
Seckel is well liked in the Eis-t, but will never be as popular
a shipper as sr>me others. The Howell is a fair shipper, a
pear of a whitish, melting vinous flesh and flavor. The
Consular Wrany, while a good shipper, is too coarse a pear to
find much sale. These are the best shippers of the summer
pears: there is alwayB more risk in shipping these and the
early fall varieties than the winter. They ripen, most of
them, while on the road, so that when they reach their desti-
nation they are in a condition to be sold immediately without
being left in the stoie room to ripen. The Duchesse d' Angou-
leroeis probably as worthy a shipper to head the fall pears as
any other, as Field, in his book on pear culture, says that
this fruit muBt be crowned "The Queen of Pears," and it
must be said that it will honorably bear out this assertion,
being prized highly among our shippers for its long-distunce
shipping qualities and delicious flavor, and sometimes grow-
ing to immense Bize. The White and gray Doyenne, Doy-
enne d' Cornice, Onondaga, Beurre Clairgeau, Beurre Diel
and Beurre Bosc are all excellent shippers; but the Vicar of
Wakefield doeB not come up to the standard as a good long-
distance shipper; it is considered fair. The quince stock
greatly improves this variety. The beBt winter pears, the
Glont Morcean, Easter Beurre, Winter SecKel and Winter
Nelis, are too well known to need describing, and will always
have a good market in ths East.

The greatest shipper, however, is the Doyenne d'Altncon,
but as it will not bear a full crop but once in every ten years,
cannot be grown for profit. When the pear shows signs of
clearing on the stem, if the seeds have fulled and you are
sure that the sap in the fruit has chemically changed toward
the ripening state, pick them. They are green and hard,
but it is necessary that they be in this condition bo as to
carry safely on their long journey. A great many have them
placed in boxes and hanled to the packing-house and packed
there, but I would recommend that this be done away with
as much as possible, where there is enough fruit to make it
an object, by packing right under the trebs in the orchard
and then hauling away in the permanent boxes,-thuB saving
many pear- that would be otherwise bruised iu the handling
and hauling. Select the spot where there is the most shade
right in the center of the orchard or block that you are pick-
ing from, and place there a good bedding of straw, spreading
it aB far as you intend the pile to extend; then pile up your
pears, make as large a stack aB you want, and then set the
packers to work, with their paper and boxes before them, all
around it; have your cover preps close at hand, and as fast
as the boxes are packed place them alongside the press and
let one man do the nailing and marking. See that they are
packed and enclosed about four inches above the top of the
sides of the box in the center, tapering down to an inch or so
at the ends. This will allow for just about enough pressure
to pack them tight, bo that when they shrink on their jour-
ney across the continent our Eastern patrons will receive
about an even box.

Peaches want to be packed equally tight, the boxes well
ventilated by having spaces between the covers and bottom
of the box and heavily cleated. If 6pace enough is left be-
tween the different portions of the bos there will be no need
of holes being drilled in the sides, as is generally done. Tbe
clingstones probably carry off the palm aB the best Bhippers,
bnt some of the yellow freestones stand the trip well. Apri-
cots are in the some line of picking as peaches; all the
standard varieties are shipped, beiDg picked just as they are
on the point of turning color, a little green if anything. This
is a rather unreliable fruit to ship, as this year's returns will
bear out, and the packing and picking requires the closest
kind of attention. Plums and pranes of the coarser kinds
are easily shipped; the packing is rather tedious, but it is a
good idea to mix the carload and have, say, a third plums
or pmneB and the remainder pears, or even other varieties.
The Biogie and double crate, twenty and porty pounds net
respectively, is used for grapes. Let them stand awhile iu
the boxes after picking before packing. If they should com-
mence beating in the center that would spoil the shipment.
In fact, they are a fruit that i6 generally packed too soon. If
they were allowed to sweat in the boxes and then placed on
stray in the buu just long enough to take the moisture off
them and no more it would be a sure way of keeping them;
but when everything is all buBtle and hurry in the packiDg-
shed this method would be too slow a way of doing, bnt
wonld pay if regularly followed up. The following varieties
of grapeB are shipped more than any others: The Verdel,
Flame de Tokay, Emperor, KoBe of Peru, Cerro Gordo, Black
Prince, Muscat of Alexandria, Mission and Cornichon. The
stems should be cut off as near to the bunch as possible,

and no loose berries allowed to remain in the baskets, and
m placing them in the frames and covering be oareful not to
mash or bruise them iu the least. The same care should be
exercised in handling. C. C.

ROD.

For some time past the black bass have been biting freely in
the Crystal Spings Lake. Permits to fish in the lake mnst be
obtained at the Water Company's office.

The smelt have not been biting very well of late. Last
Snnday smelt fishing was exceedingly poor and only a few
fair catches were made.

The rock cod were onnsnally free in accepting the
bait od Sunday and duriDg the early part of the week. Some
of the largest catches of the season were made ou Sunday.

A couple of boats anchored near Arch Rock on Sunday
last and several Backs fnll of fish were caught. Some of
the rock cod weighed as much as five pounds.

At Lime Point, Angel Island, California City, Red Roek,
Kershaw's Point and other places around the Bay the fish-
ing -was unusually good, and nearly everybody that visited
these places made large catches.

Postal carriers Bottomly and Folsom between them hooked
about fifty pounds of rock cod.

Professor Joe Action of the C. A. C. and his pupil Gua
Dngermann. were noticed among the anglers at Tibujon on
Sunday. Tbe Prof, took along his customary barrel of
lager. The fishing was so good, however, that he forgot to
drink the beer and Gus had to empty tbe barrel all alone.

Ben. Naphthaly, the Police Court lawyer, was discovered
Bitting on the wharf at Tibnron, on Sunday morniog, dressed
a la cowboy. His opinion is that the older the clothes the
better the fishing.

The fishing at the old Oakland wharf was very poor, and
the smelt seekers were compelled to return home with empty
baskets.

Tough raw beef is about the best bait that can be used in
tishiug for rock cod. Beef, as a general rule, acts like magic
when everything else fails.

Good bay fishing may be expected for some time to come,
as the signal service reports say that the weather will be
warm and mild for the balance of the month.

pain

Mr. Andrew Lang who does not believe that fish feel
puts his view of the matter neatly saying:

A fish can vesy easily be killed', if one goes to work tbe
right way, and hits the fish one tap just where the neck
should be; but he continues: "When the Spectator talks of
'killing a fish,' landing him may be meant. Is that suoh a
ptinful process? Trout, the most shy of our fish, often
comes back and are captured, with the angler's broken fly or
east:n? line in their mouths. Would they do this if tbey
wee so muoli hurt? Suppose you went to the editor of the
Specator while he was on the feed; suppose you delicately
east a nicely devilled whitebait over him, rose him, and
hooked him; suppose that he leaped in the air four or five
feet high and then ran below the table and sulked, and tried
to entangle the iine in the legs of chairs. Then, of cours',
you wonld tighten the line on him, and tap the butt of the
rod, and your gillie would throw stones at him, or stir him
np with a young tree. If this succeeded he would make the
reel sing, rushing up stairs, plunging down stairs, racing np
and down tbe drawing-room, and finally would break you in
the banisters. Well, after all thiB play, do >ou think it likely
that if you fished over the dining-room again, you would
raise the editor with a mutton cutlet, an asparagus, or a
=fiawberry? Assuredly not; he would be 'put down' for days
and only rise at arrowroot, and that very cautiously. But
trout do not behave thus. It often happens that, after being
hooked on a small blue dun, and breaking the casting line,
they return and rise at a sedge or an alder, and get landed!
So I am told, for, as I have admitted, I never catch anything
myself. What is the inference? Clearly, 'that trout do not
feel like men and editors. I could not fish, I could not take
the chance of inflicting such anguish, as a trout would feel
like the editor in the cruel scene which I have steeled my-
self to describe."

Naming «• Horse.

in it," said

"Whera did yon get that name of Polhemus from, that
you have bestowed upon that two-year-old of yours?" asked
one of our staff from Hon. Green Preuitt, the other day in
Helena, Bays the Gazette.

"His name is Polemua — there's no letter 'h'
the treasurer quickly.

"I didn't know but he was earned after some personal
friend named Polhemus, " replied our man.

"Not at all," said Mr. Preuitt quietly. "Ton see we had
a squirrel bounty law here, a few years ago, and it came near
bankrupting the whole territory. We paid 5 cents per scalp,
and if the law had not been repealed, it would have busted
every bank in Helena. One of these fellows, who made a
business Bhooting squirrels, was a man named Polenius
Blankenship. He bad a rifle and used to send in from fifty
to one hundred squirrel scflps every week. I believe I
eaBhed more warrants for him than for aoy other man in
Montana.

"He was incl'ned to be pestersom0, was he?"

"Don't forget it," sail Mr. Preuitt; "he gave me a heap of
trouble, and I swore that if ever we had a thoroughbred colt
foaled on the ranch I wonl 1 name him after Mr. Blanken-
ship, whom, by the way, I have never seen. Well, one of
our thoroughbred mares. Lady Preuitt, we sold to Mr. Hag-
gin of California, with the understanding that we would
reserve ber coming foal. When it came we got a note from
Mr. Mackey, superintendent of the Haggin ranch, saying it
was a ni»le foal and of very high quality. He is now Two
years old."

"Has he woo any races yet?" askei our raw

"No, but he bas run "taice pecood in good time and I
think he is nearly due to win. If he bothers the other colls
as badly as his namesake did me, he won't lose a race for tho
next two seasons."

Ernest Polver, the young jockey employed by R. B. Cock-
rill, died ou Friday last from the effects of an accident which
occurred on the Wednesday previous. He was exercisino
MarkL:, a running horse, and W. Murphy was speeding the
trotting mare Maud Dee. They traversed tbe track in oppo-
site direciioDs and collided near the stand, the lad ■ being
thrown from the horse, which was also badly injured, one of
the sulky shafts entering the breast of the horse.

Gentlemen:- We have used Ossidine for the pust two years
inrt consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Bingbone

recommended it to others with like success, and believe it has
nore merit than any blister ever used.

Lillian Wilkes, 2:17 3-4.

The Phenomenal YoaBg Filly. The property of Wm,
Corbltt, Esq.

There is not a personam the United States interested iu
horse flesh but who has heard of Lillian "Wilkes, 2:17$.
and yet less than six weeks ago she had no record. Such
a story told ten years ago would have seemed a fable,
but it all arises from the art of breeding that has devel-
oped so materially in the past decade. There is no keen-
er observer nor deeper student of breeding in California
than Mr. William Corbltt of the Sau Mateo stock farii,
*who is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific as a
shrewd and careful man in all matters that appertain to
the trotting horse. It is now many years since he first
went into the business, bringing to this coast Irvington
and Arthurton. "When Irvington was sold, Guy Wilkes
was brought out to take his place, and although there
are many who say "Corbitt's luck" was what enabled
him to secure such a great horse, we are inclined to the
belief that there was no luck in the transaction what-
ever, but the settled conviction from close observation
that the Wilkes blood was what was required to cross
with his well chosen band of broodmares. There are
any quantity of persons that think Mr. Williams of Ax-
tell fame, a fortunate man in breeding his mares to
William L. and Jay Bird. There was no chance work
about it whatever; the mares were bred after almost
every prominent stallion in Kentucky had been inspect-
ed, and it was Bimply good judgment that has produced
to the world Axtell and Allerton. It was jndgmmt of
the same kind that told Mr. Corbitt Guy Wilkes was the
horse of all others to bring out, and although he paid a
great price for the then young stallion, there is no man
can deny but that \ie would have been cheap at $100,000.
He has mated wonderfully well with all classes of mares,
and his progeny are of the best, their legs particularly,
enhancing their value, as he has the happy faculty of
putting remarkably good underpinning on all his get.
Many years ago Mr. Corbitt purchased a very fast pac-
ing mare known as Flora Longford, and she was bred
to Guy Wilkes, the foal being Lillian Wilkes. Mr. Cor-
bitt laughs to-day when he thinks how many times be
offered Flora Longford for sale for $100 when she was
carrying Lillian, yet no one would buy her. It seems
that the mare, from extreme old age was little better
than a wreck, and for the last five months of her life had
to be lifted up and down with block and tackle. The
foal was ultimately born, but the mare died in foaling;
so, consequently, Lillian Wilkes was brought up by
hand. From her birth until the 11th of November of
last year she was allowed to roam over the broad
acres of the farm, but on that date she was taken up and
broken. The writer had frequently heard Mr. Corbitt
speak in the highest terms of this young tilly, and con-
sidered that enthusiasm played a prominent part in
stories that were heard. A visit to the ranch in March
last dissipated any erroneous impression that might
hitherto have been held in regard to Lillian Wilkes, for
she impresses the beholder at once with her beauty and
great speed. Although only three years old, and her rec-
ord as yet only 2:17$, she will, if nothing happens, run
a close race with her relative, Axtell, for record honors.
She has made three public appearances, once at Napai
where she was allowed to "walk over" fur the three-year
old stake, once at Petaluma, where she lowered the
colors of the mighty Sunol, and again at Oakland, where
she had to bow to the inevitable and was beaten by
Sunol, thus reversing the decision. It must be said in
extenuation that the filly was far from being herself that
day, but is now inproving rapidly. The walk-over at
Napa was accomplished in the magnificent time of 2:18,
and in that connection it might not be out of place to
print the following excerpt from a prominent Eastern
paper, the American Cultivator, accompanied by a letter
from a well posted gentleman who was on the coast at
the time and saw the Napa walk over.

Another three-year-old trotting wonder has bur3t out in
California. She iB known as Lillian Wilkes. Her owner and
breeder is Mr. Corbitt, -iwner of Gay Wilkes, 2:15J, and Sable
Wilke-5, 2:18, San Mateo. Cal. She was entered in the three-
year-old stakes, along with the world renowned Sunol, two-
year-old 2:18, and Margaret S , a very ppeedy daughter of
Director, but when the bell rang, Lillian Wilkes was the oDly
one of the lot to respond. She had a walk -over in 2:18. Mr.
Isaiah Thomas, who spent last winter in California, pro-
nounces Lillian Wilkes one of the very best gaited trotters
that he ever saw.

Lillian Wilkes' sire is Guy Wilkes, 2:15J. Her dam is
Flora Langford, who is credited with pacing a trial mile in
2:24, and is also the dam of Joe Arthurtoo, 2:20£. Flora
Langford iB by the running-bred horse Langford, whose sire
WQ6 Williamson's Belmont, which, though a thoroughbred,
recorded in ''Brace's American Stud Book," Vol. I., is the
sire of the trotter Venture, 2£7£, and got the dams of several
that are found in the 2:30 list. Langford 's dam was Liz
GivenB, a thoroughbred daughter of the renowned Sir Archy,
the best son of imported Diomed.

This brings the warm current nearer the surface than mo^t
breeders of trotting 6tock like, particularly when the sire is
eo strongly backed by warm crosses as Guy Wilkes, 2:15J.

She got there just the same, however, and is liable to prove
a troublesome cnstomer for the best three-year-oldn on the
Pacific Coast. As she has been proved a diamond of the first
water, the following account of her, Bent to Mr. Wesley P.
Balch from a friend of his in California, will prove interest-
ing:

"San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 16, 18S9.

"Dear Wesley: —

"Yesterday was Lillian Wilkes first appearance on the
track at Nepa, where Bbe was entered against Sunol and Mar-
garet S., all three-year-olds. The last two failed to put in an
appearance when time was called. They were'said to be off,
consequently Lillian had a walk-over in 2:18 as announced,
some making the time as low as 2:17$, 2:17£. The
quarters were trotted respectfully in 34, 341, 351, 34i
seconds. She could have knocked off seconds had it been
desirable to do so. The track is new, and not a fast one. A
better gailed trott?r w-.s never seen on any race track, and if
nothing happens to her, you will hear from her again before
the season is over. She was taken up on the 11th of Novem-
ber last, unbroken."

That will give an idea of what outsiders thought of
the performance, where bias was thrown entirely to one
side. At Petaluma, Sunol and Margaret S. came to the
post, ready to give battle to the young filly that had
made a reco. d at Napa.

Thousands were in attendance, all eager to witness
what was likely to prove the sensation of the year, and
there was no disappointment, inasmuch as almost every
one supposed that Sunol would win easy.

The first heat went to the Electioneer filly in 2:21^,
but when Lillian won the second iu 2: 17|, it was like
pandemonium broke loose. The spectators shouted them,
selves hoarse, but the big betters rushed to the pool-box
with the knowledge that there was something that could
down Sunol, and they all wanted to her ge. When the
third and fourth heats also fell to the San Mateo repre-
sentative, the applause was terrific, for the outcome had
proved sensational, and that is what the people wanted.

At Oakland the tables were turned, and Sunol got away
with the Stakes, but the chances are, the honors are easy
for a short duration only, as Mr. Goldsmith, before the
season closes, will bring out the daughter of Flora Lang-
ford to try and beat the world's best record for a three-
year-old. Of course whether he can do it or not is only
problematical at present, but to the believers in the
thoroughbred cross in the trotters, Lillian Wilkes seems
to be the best there is at present, and if she should fail to
reach the point at which her owner is at present aiming,
it will not detract from her merits, as she is the best
filly, as regards time, that has ever appeared on any
track.

It is only a few weeks ago that the Bkeeder. and
Sportsman said in its columns that there was a younger
half sister that showed every evidence of being able to
beat anything on the farm, but after the great perform
ances of Lillian Wilkes, it seems almost like profanation
to suggest that one of the others can be anything like the
equal of Lillian Wilkes. Before the season closes there
will be many chances to see the young marvel on the
track, and if she does not make a much lower record
thau she has at present, it will be on occount of some
accident that may happen in the future.

The following anent Lillian Wilkes and the San Mateo
Stock Farm is taken from the current number of Wal-
lace's Monthly:

The sons of George WilkeB and Lady Bunker are great sires
of three-year-olds. It is not so long ago that Sable Wilkes,
by Guy Wilkes, sent the banner of San Mateo to the topmast
with the champion three-year-old record, 2:18, inscribed
thereon. Then when the three-year-old record is beaten it
is by Axtell, eon of the brother of Guy Wilkes. And now
comes Lillian Wilkes, daughter of Guy Wilkes, and trots at
Napa, Cal., in 2:18, surpassing all three-year-old records ex-
cepting those of her brother and the son of her sire's brother.
This ib a very handsome and finely turned daughter of Guy
Wilkes, and as far back as January, on my first visit to San
Mateo, Mr. Corbitt showed her to me with pride, and Baid.
with the moBt positive confidence, that she was a coming
star. One day in early February, while Mr. Marvin was
looking her over at San Mateo, in company with the writer
and others, Mr. Corbitt said to him that he expected to beat
the San Mateo three-year-old record with Lillian, but did not
count on breaking the record which Snnol intent make for
Palo Alto. It was expected that Sunol and Lillian would
meet at Napa; but the great daughter of Electioneer was suf-
fering from sexual troubles, and Marvin is too discreet a man
to start Sunol, when not on edge, against so good a mare as
Lillian Wilkes.

One factor that tells greatly in Mr. Corbitt's favor as a
breeder is his good judgment of the individual quality of
horses and his especial care in selecting bsood mares. Ex
ceptiog the collection of H L & F. D. Stout, the owners of
Nu' wood, there is not, as far as I am aware, a harem of brood-
mares in all this country that averages sis high in individual-
ity as those at San Mateo. I except Stout's callection, for,
though not the largest, it is, in blood and individual excel-
lence, the best stud of brood-mar^s in this country — bar none
Mr. Corbitt knows what good blood i=, and knows what a
good individual is; and in looking over the mares at San
Mateo one can Bee, without being told, that he does not take
many chances experimenting with blood of doubtful trotting
value, nor does he breed from a pedigree without a good
mare behind it. It is a strong point, in the eyes of a buyer
who buys an animal without peeing iis dam or sire, to koow
that cot only is the sire a good horse and well bred but
that the mare is a good mare herself, irrespective of
her breeding. It is a fact never to be overlooked that, while
a horse without a pedigree is of little value, a pedigree with-
out a horse ib of no value.

Hail, El Bio Rey.

The Caliiornlan Hakes the Woiulei-iul Record ofl.lt
for Three-Quarters of a Mile Willi 2B6 Poundj up.

Four new records have never before been made over a new
track during an inaugural meeting of ten days, says the New
York World. With the meeting that ended at Morris Park
yesterday, such, however, is a fact — half a mile in 46 seconds
by Geraldine, with 122 poundB; three-quarters of a mile in
1:11 by El Rio Rey, with 126 pounds; a mile and five fur-
longs in 2:48 by Hindoocraft, with 75 poundB. But little
credit is claimed for the last named event. The first three,
however, stand good; they were made with weight np and are
most oreditable performances. That they were made over a
straight track will be shown in the records. Straight tracks
for records of three-quarters of a mile and under will be here-
after almost an absolute necessity. Few may complain that
they cannot distinguish the horses. But take the Eclipse
Stables with fifteen starters, run a week ago, and the White
Plains Handicap, run yesterday with the same number of
starters, and all followers of racing must admit that never be-
fore had they witnessed two such true-ran races. That the
great Californian colt, El Rio Bey, won both of them not only
adds to his greatness, but proves how true races can be run
on straight tracks. The Eclipse was won with somelbiDg to
spare-, the contending horses were running at weight for age.
The race yesterday waB a handicap, with El Rio Rey at
116 pounds, and Ruperta 110 pounds; allowing the latter 3
pounds for her sex, Ei Rio Rey was giving her 13 pounds
This was a great handicap, for Ruperta is a tilly of more than
ordinary form, she having won the Larchmont Stakes on the
first day. at 105 pounds, in 1:14. But El Rio Rey was handi-
capped even more. He was ridden by a light-weight boy
named Wincbell, of no great ability or strength, who weighed
about 105 pounds, making it necessary for the colt to carry
some 18 or 20 pounds of dead weight. This alone accounted
for Ruperta getting up so close. Had McLaughlin, Garrison
or any man been "up," he would have brought the colt along
at half the distance, winning probably by three or four
lengths How weak Winchell was could be seen by his puny
efforts in trying to whip, ride and use his spurs at the same
time. The effort was well meant. The colt won on bis
merits, and he stands to-day one of the best two-year-olds
ever seen in this or any country, for proof of whioh note the
weight he carried, the time made, that he was ridden by a
light weight boy, who, to his great credit, did bis best. At
the same time note where St. Carlo, Magnate, -Tui e Day, Mas-
terlode, Leighton, Banquet, Gramercy, Prince Fjcso. and
Cayuga, all good two-year-olds, finished.

Of the other races Tenny won the Pelham Bay Handicap
easily, heating among others the famous Kentucky Derby
and American Derhy winner Spokane. Xext to El Rio Rey
the honors of the meeting are due to Tenny. The other win-
ners of the day were Britannic, whose flying five furlongs in
59 seconds broke the ill luck that has attended all the efforts
of Mr. Morris's stable during the meeting. Kingston -was al-
so a winner nn^er the Dwyer "red aDd blue," Elyton under
the Durham "oiarge and white," and Golden Reel under the
Excelsior Stable's "red and blue stripeB." It was a great day
for backers and the way they captured the money left the
bookmakers but little to take home.

As to the crowd, it was an immense one. It showed the
magnitude of the stand, lawn, betting ring and other accom-
modations at Morris Park At any other track the crowd
would have been uncomfortably "jammed" at all points. It
had ample room to sit and move about yes'erday. If the
weather haj3 been a little cooler it would have been more
pleasant. But that little discomfort was forgotten in the ex-
cellence of the racing and the success of El Rio Rey and Ten-
ny.

Morris Park, Westchester, N. Y., Aug. 31st.— Tenth and
last day of the inauguial meeting of the New York Jockey
Club.

The Race — Among the firbt horses to show on the track
was El Rio Rey, and with a good, stout stable lad in the sad-
dle he slowly galloped around the full track. Of those that
did their preliminary gallops in colors Iago and Cayuga were
the most prominent. Promptly at Hecker's bugle call **to
the post"' the fifteen announced starters filed out of the pad-
dock as follows: Gunwad, Prince Fonso, June Day, Eccolft
oolt, Masteilode, Raperta, Gramercy, Cayuga. Banquet,
Leighton, W, G. Morris, St. Carlo iu (blinkers), Magnate,
Iago, E) Rio Rey. The last named was loudly applauded, as
his superb appearance deserved. All slowly cantered to the
post, where they arrived in ample time to be in the startere'
hands at 3:40 p. m., the time fixed for the race. But little
time was lost in giving the jockeys their position* as drawn.
Iago had the inside, with W. G. Morris' Cayuga, Kupertaaud
Gramercy. On the outside were June Day, Magnate, Ban-
quet, Leighton and Prince Fonso, while in the middle were
Gunwad, Eccola, colt; El Rio Rey, St. Carlo andMasterlode.
Fortunately all were, for two-year-olds, good starters, and af-
ter some little delay in taking positions tbey moved up like
well-drilled cavalry for the flag, which Mr. Caldwell gave
them at the very first break.

it waB a superb start, and so little difference was there that
it was not until they had run seveial strides before W. G.Mor-
riB.RupertaandSt- Carlo showed in the advance. The whole fif-
teen continued in close order for the first quarter, and as tbey
made the turn Roperta, Magnate. El Rio Rey, Cajuga and
Gramercy were leading on nearly equal terms. The pace
from the start had been very fast, but the field kept in close
order, and at the bottom of the dip it was difficult to say who
really had the advantage. Gunwad was about the most
prominent, with Ruperta and June Day close up in the mid-
dle of the track, with Gramercy, Eccola colt and El Rio Rey
ou the mside, and W. G. Morris leading those laying on the
outside. As they breasted the hill El Rio Rey took the lead,
followed by Roperta and St. Carlo. The held then gradually
began to tail out. In the run down the second incline El
Rio Rey took a deeded lead, and* it really 1 ioked. as many
in the crowd shouted, "Only El Rio Rey." Put Allen on
Ruperta biled his time, and with cut of his whip and a sharp
dig with his spurs, he suddenly shot op on the left side of El
Rio Rey with Ruperta. the winner of the Larchmont stakes.
S? quick bad Ruperta closed np that Winchell sermed fright-
ened at her sudden appearance, while the e owd, especially
the colored element, began to shout, "Ruperta wios." Wio-
ohell at once got right down, and although be had but little
strength, he in turn got to work Whip, beeU and bnoda
were all doing their best, and backed up by as honest a horse
as ever locked through a bridle, the b'g Califoit'ian respond-
ed so we'l that he quickly settled Ruptrta's chances, winning
the race amid tbuuders of applause hy a neck, Rupeita sec-
ond three lengths in front of St. Carlo followed by W. G.
Morris, Magnate, June Day, and the t thers as above. Time.
1:11, the showing of which brought cut renewed cheering,
for it not only beat Tenny's and Tip^taff'B 1:12 by one full
second, butit reduced the record from what it was when the
meeting began by two seconds. Gross value of the stake,
$11,120.

DIRECT^:^ 1-4.

For maDy years Monroe Salisbury. Esq., lias taken an
active interest in trotting horses, and has an extensive
establishment at Pleasanton for the breeding and train-
ing of the youngsters that have made his name famous.
"Wnen a retrospective view is taken, it does not seem
very long since Mr. Salisbury tirst appeared upon the
scene as the owner of on6 of the gainest horses that
America has ever seen. Monroe Chief was the first pur-
chase and bought at a time when many considered him
as the most wouderful horse that bad appeared up to
that date. It is true there were several who had fa3ter
records, but every now and again he would meet and
conquer them, especially when it came to long drawn out
races. The following article, lately taken from the
Breeders' Gazette, is slightly wrong in som^ of the min-
or details, but it goes to show what the old horse is still
thought of.

MoDroe Chief, a stallion whose name calls np a host of
memories to those who have followed the fortune* of the trot-
ling turf, is reported from California to be in training again,
and more than that, he has as much speed as ever, notwith-
standing that he is nineteen years old. The Chief was not a
precocious horse in the matter of trotting fast, being a big
colt, but yet at sis ye irs of age he made his maiden effort iu
a race, and at that time could beat 2:35 a little. The lollow-
iDg winter he was sold to A. W. Longley of Chicago, then as
now an enthusiast on the subject of the trotter, and placed
iu the hands of Peter Johnston, the price paid for him being
$1,600. How Peter developed the stallion's speed, until
three vears later he made a record of 2:18£ in the third heat
of a ra'cfi, trottiug the last half of the third mile in l:07i, is a
matter of history. Daring one of the years that the Chief
was under the guidance of Johnstoo, he made a clean sweep
in his class down the Central Ciicait, and after his best rec-
ord was obtained he was sold for $1S,000 to Monroe Salis-
bury, a wealthy Californian who was just then putting borne
money into horseflesh, and who saw in Monroe Chief a grand
stallion. Like some other Califoraiaus, Mr. Salisbury was
lucky as well as rich, for about the time he purchased Monroe
Chief he also got hold of Director, then a fonr-y ear-old, and
saw him develop into one of the fastest stallions in the
country, getting a record of 2:17, and at the same time show
himself tj be as game a trotter as ever looked through a
bridle. After Sa isbury bought Monroe Chief, the horse was
handled lor awhile ty John Goldsmith, Budd Doble having
previously had him in charge for a season, and alter going to
California he showed more speed than ever, being timed a
quarter in 33 seconds fiat, which was a better clip than he
cou'.d strike when on this side of the Rocky Mountains
While Goldsmith was giving the Chief jogging work one
morning, the horse became playiul, and managed to get one
of his bind legs over the shaft, producing a strain which it
was thought at the time would prove serious, but luckily no
bad results lollowed. After this he was given a chance in
the stud for two or three season, and his colts are said to be
good ones. Now, when nearly twenty years old, he is in
tiaining again at the Bay District track, San Francisco, and
is one of the probable starters in the free-to-all race at the
State Fair.

Monroe Chief was a remarkably game trotter, and never
failed to evoke the enthusiasm of the crowd by his gallant
finishes, coming down the home-stretch with ears laid back,
month wide open, and a bold way of going that seemed to
tay he would get there first or 6ndoutthe reason why Nearly
every one of his heats was won in this manner, he being
generally well to the rear at the half mile pole, and this
naturally showed him to the best advantage. One of his
beat races was dariLg the summer of 1880. over the West
Side track in Chicago. It was a purse for stallions, and
H*nnis, Wedgewood, and Bontsetter, all cracks, were his
opponents. It was the held against Monroe Chief, and as
the other horses were able to get away faster than the brown
fell"*, and to take the pole fioni him every heat, he had a
long road to go. This fact was accentuated by reason of the
tract being heavy and wet from rain, so that even the pole
horse was well out in the middle of the track. Hannis won
the first and second heats in 2:244_, 2:2H, and then the Chief,
trotting clear around the others in every mile, took the next
three in 2:2I|, 2:20^, 2:20i, viinniog each heat by a noBe
right under the wire. Four uays later he made his Tecord of
2:lSj, and after pissing into Doble's stable he won a grand
race at Lexiogton trom Roea Wilkes, record 2:184;, bjx heats,
all better than 2:22, and three of them better than 2:20, being
required to decide the contest. The old horse can still do a
mile in 2:20, and should he again win, there will be plenty
of people iu this section of the country who will feel a thrill
of joy when they hear the news.

The next purchase of Mr. Salisbury was Director, by
Dictator, whiuh under the able handling of John A.
Goldsmith, proved a veritable gold mine. The black
horee had the unkindness to almost always win the
majority of heats, notwithstanding any quantity of jobs
that were put up to beat hiiu. It is only a few weeks
ago that the Breeder and Sportsman had a full and
correct account of all the stock at the Pleasanton
Stock Farm and among the others noticed was the pre-
And by the way that sug-
of an erroneous

it that should have been his by right. "When Direc
first appeared upon the scene of action the breeding qual-
ities of the premier stallion of the farm were an unknown
quantity, however, it took but very few races to show to
the world that Director was a great sire, for in his three-
year-old form Direct made a record of 2:23. SiDce this
season opened he has made several appearances before the
public, gaining a record of 2: 19J at Napa, beating hi3
only opponent Victor in three straight heats. At Oak-
land he was declared beaten by the judges when the
seventh heat of the race should have been his by right,
which would have given him the race. The gentlemen
in the stand made a series of blunders each more faulty
than the one that preceeded it, and which finally wrested
the victory from Direct. He is entered throughout the
circuit and his driver Mr. McDowell is positive in the
assertion that the game little black will lower his pres-
ent record very maierially. Mr. Salisbury will in all
probability put Direct in the stud nexw season, and send
his sire Director for a low record, as the old horse gives
every indication of being faster than ever he was. The
breeding of Direct is so well known that comment is
hardly necessary, by Director 2:17i, dam Echora 2:2o"£,
she by Echo 462; 2nd dam "The young mare,'' by Jack
Hawkins, a son of Boston.

Director 1989, is by Dictator 113, he by HambletoDian

10, dam Clara (dam of Dexter, 2:17J etc.) by American
Star 14. Director's dam is Dolly by Mambriuo Chief

11, out of a thoroughbred mare. Dolly is the dam of
Thorndale, 2:22J, (sire of Daisydale, 2:194, Edwin
Thorne 2:16£, and four more in thirty class). Onward,
2:2oi, (sire of 16 in thirty class), and several others. Dic-
tator himself has twenty in the thirty list, Jay-Eye-See,
2.10, heading the list. Where can you find a horse so
closely allied to so many performeis and with such an
untarnished reputation as Director, 2:17^

mier of the place Director
gests au idea, or rather the correction
statement that has beeu going the rounds of the Eastern
papers for sometime, that Thomas Jefferson was the stal-
lion to which should be accredited the honor of winning
the largest amount of money while on the track. If
the statisticians will compute the winnings once more
they will find a large error in the result, as Director won
more money than Jefferson is given credit for. Be that
as it may, we only have to speak of him as a sire, and if
his only progeny were Direct he would have made an
indelible name for himself. Mr. Salisbury has always
kept the old horse as a public stallion and any quantity
ot gentlemen have colts by him that should be on the
track adding laurels to the great campaigner's brow, but
unfortunately he has been robbed of a great deal of cred-

Santa Barbara County.

Much has been written of Santa Barbara, and its fame has
reached all comers of our mundane sphere, To those who
have dwelt h^re since childhood, its surroundings, its locali-
ty, its richness of soil aud i.s beauty have made it a spot to
which they cling fondly, and a place from which they could
not part. The tloqnence of its grand scenery, the mystery
hidden by the mignty monntains, gjod old oak trees, and
sweet mountain streams, enhance the interest to the strangers.
They wander back centuries, when these valleys, hills and
mountains were inhabited by the savages of a lost race. To-
cay the wealthy seeking homes where health, beauty and
divine in&piratioLs of joy and ineffable felicity abound, lo-
cate in Santa Barbara. Its natural attractions are unexcelled,
if eqnalled. Its little bay is protected from the storms by
high coast range mountains on one side, and by large islands
on the other. The beach is a paradise to chose who love sea
bathing. Its adobe dwellings, with red tiles, are disappear-
ing, but handsome residences of modern architectare have
tanen their places, and the large, stone-front, substantial
business buildings make the city look full of mercantile en-
ei gy and financial activity.

The good old mission, built over one hundred years ago, is
the haudaomest and best-preserved one in the State, and the
ouly one in the possession of the Franciscan friars. The
mission has a commanding location. Standing on the arched
corridors of stone, you overlook the city that appears to be
slumbering in unmolested sleep, and you see the tishermen'B
boats that sail swiftly over the Btnooth waters of the cbanntl.
From the two high towers, in whose belfries still hang the
old bells the savages, years ago, learned to answer devoutly,
you have au extended view for miles up and down the coast.
The Temple of Worship is just such a place as one would
enter for devout inspirations.

1 'Oft have I seen at some catuedral door
A laborer, pausing in the duet and heat,
i.ay down his burden, and with reverent feet

Enter and cross himself, and on the floor

Kneel to repeat his paternoster o'er;
Far off the noises of the world retreat,
Tne load vociferations ot the street

Become an undiBtingnisbable roar."

Santi Barbara is comingto the front as a country in which
are bred and raised many fine horses. The Santa Barbara
Agricultural Association will give its nineteenth fair this year
and the speed programme will bring out many tine stallions,
mares and gelain&s. At the track ihere are many excellent
horses in training to compete in the coming races, which will
begin Oct. 1st. Gus Walters, the Los Angeles traiuer and
favorite driver, well known for integrity, honor, and energy,
has come to Santa Barbara to locale permanently. The fol-
lowing are the most prominent in his siring: Don Patricio,

trotters by his stallion Antioch by A. W. Richmond, rirsi
dam Moute Belle. 2nd dam Granny, dam of Tom Stout, rec-
ord of 2:24. All of Mr. Rochin's colts bv Antioch promise
well, and he will surely have tome fast three-jear olds. Al-
though Antioch is four >eirs old, he has never been trained
till this summer, and only for two months, and he can tiot
in 2:40 handily.

In Santa Maria is located the stock farm of Merriit and
Murray who have begun to breed to their fashionably bred
black stallion Electro by Electioneer. Electro trots in 2:26,
and promises to trot much faster. He is four years old and
has a steady, even gait, aud is a handy horse to drive. Mer-
ritt and Murray are energetic men who love equine sports
and they will do much to instill the farmers of the country
with the sound idea that it piys to breed tj fine bred horses.
The good ptople of Sauia Miria advertise their third annual
fair and they offer good parses. James Morse. Esq., the
president of tha Santa Maria Agricultural and Stock Asso-
ciation is a very busy man, d jmg all within his power to
make this fair a great success. He is ably assisted by R. W.
Nattall, secretary, whose energy and activity assure success.
The bay stallion Bashaw is in training at Santa Maria.
Bashaw has a record of 2:31$, made at Santa Barbara last
vear in a hot race against Runal and others. Bashaw has a
very promising three-year-old owned by L. W. Lawrence, of
this city.

There are many fine bred and promising colts in the coun-
ty that want of space will keep out of this article, but some
future day we will give a complete list. It is an assured fact
that Santa Barbara will be a great county for tine horses in
the near future. There are niiuy ranches in the county that
are particularly adapted for horse farms. The rich soil of
the valleys, so well protected by large oak trees and well
watered by mountain streams, will raise verysuperior horses,
if all farmers will breed to good horses, horses
aboot whose pedigree there is no question, and hordes
that have shown their good qualities in a hot contested race,
or by their colts. Santa Barbara 50 or 60 years ago, was
noted for its fine Arabian horses that ran over these fertile
hills and valleys.

The native grasses of the county are very superior, Alfileria
and oats predominating. The lay of the country Is favorable
for horses, and the climate is so mild that the cults
and mares require no shelter in winter or sum-
mer, Santa Barbara will surely give to the world many a fast
horse. Arrow was raised here and he owes his great speed
and endurance to the climate of Santa Barbara. Arrow paced
a mile in 2:134;. Next year the world will hear of the won-
derful performances of colts bred and raised in this county.

Domestio animals seem to acquire some additional facul-
ties, as the}' may perhaps lose others, by their association
with man. They are less able to look out for themselves than
in their wild state. But in every other respect we believe
their intelligence is increased. They become partly human-
ized by their human associations, and would perhaps be more
bo if those caring for them bad developed a higher human
character. In nerve force will undoubtedly b.» found the
snpplementary secret ot the greatest turf successes. The
borate on a race-track takes as intelligent an interest in the
result as do the spectators. The horse that has been most
thorooghlv trained has developed intelligence which adds to
his muscular strength. He has learned the important art of
all physical training, how to handle his whole body so as to
produce the greatest effects from all muscular effort of wbb-h
be is capable. Added to this is a determination I
which to any observer must look wonderfully I
ambition, as if he had caught this by association -

Dr. C W. Aby.

Bare names and bald recitals of facts with reference to any
man are generally worth little unless they tend to give in-
sight to the forces which, have led ap to the finished charac-
ter as one meets it, but once ia a while a man is found the
story of whose life is best told by a chronicle of the sur-
rounding s of his youth and the environments of his days of
adolescence. Such an one is Dr. Charles William Aby,
whose rugged, independent, frank, Bhrewd, handsome, and
altogether pleasant face looks upon the reader of this wholly
inadequate note. Born on July lo', 1S53. in Claiborne coun-
ty, Miss., fifteen miles East from Port Gibson, the yoang
Aby that was, had for a father a Virginia bred man of Scotch
descent, and for a mother, who is to this day idolized by her
big son, a lady of gentle Missippi ancestry. The cross was
a nick.

The home was upon a big cotton plantation, cultivated as
times went, by a hundred slaves, the produce of whose labor
enabled the baronial owner to gratify his own strongly inbred
taste for horses and field sports, and to give his decide:lly
precocious son and heir plenty of verge, as the youth began
to display more fondness for thoroughbred horses and the coy
maidens of neighboring plantatioDs than for more ascetic
studies. Aby, senior, went iu quite extensively for good
stock, particularly horses for road work, and tje saddlers of
his breeding were famous all through tbat region for their
thoroughbred quality and rare excellence, whether for dis-
plav or for actual endurunce and good gaits.

The maternal grandfather, Col. B. O. Smith, of Natchez,
was also a noted breeder of thoroughbreds, and it is little
wonder that as Doctor Aby now says, he was "more at home
on a horse than in a school form." However, the father,
albeit a believer in following natural bents and a disciple of
the Bchool of muscular Christianity, felt it necessary to at
least make a bluff at educating his somewhat irrepressible
offspring, and Charles William was consequently halter-
broken at the neighboring school, and afterward pretty care-
fully put in eandition at Transylvania University.

The splendid racing form since shown by the Doctor he
freely credits largely to the sternness and patience of those
instructors. While doing his university reading, young
Aby chanced to form acquaintance with Doctors E. T. and J.
E. Haggard, veterinary surgeons of Lexington, Ky., both of
them thoroughly schooled practitioners as well as accom-
plished gentlemen. At spare hours Aby was thrown much
into association with the doctors; rode with them, assisted
clinically, and did some little elementary work in veterinary
medicine. What more natural transition then, than from
the university, as a graduate with honors, to Dr. Haggard's
office as a student and pupil. Two years were given to close
study under direction of his preceptors, with such intelligent
quizzes and so many opportunities to see surgical manipula-
tions, that the end of toe time found C. W. Aby thoroughly
well furnished as a veterinarian, enjoying the fullest confi-
dence of his teachers, and prescribing and operating inter-
changeably with them. When at last the Doctor's Haggard
joined in pronouncing Aby fit at all points to maintain the
dignity and honor of his invaluable profession, the young
man, then about twentv-two or three, cast aboat for a suit-
able opening, and soon found one upon the Nantura Farm, at
Woodford, Ky., belonging to F. B. Harper, where he went as
manager in the spring of 1832, and remained until the spring
of 1886.

Woodford County, famous for its great horse farms, had no
more notable place than Nantura, where Dr. Aby had snch
famous flyers as Longfellow, Ten Broeck, Jils Johnson. Bell
Knight, the dam of Freeland, and others. Three stallions

and twenty-two mares formed the stud therj, but the stallions
accepted public services to the number, 150 in some years.

The clear headednesp, snap and knowledge displayed by
Doctor Aby, soon gave him local prominence, and the repu-
tation increased in geometrical ratio. The numberless
buyers who flocked to Kentucky each year, went away im-
pressed with the ability arjd practical sense shown by the
manager of Nantura, and in the natural course of events,
when Mr. E. J. Baldwin, of Santa Anita Ranch, in this State,
needed a manager for his thoroughbred department, he made
overtures to Doctor Aby, and finally, in the spriDg of 'SG,
succeeded in engaging him. The Doctor's own story is that
"being naturally of a roving disposition, and having seen
Silver Cloud win the American Derby, and the conviction
being forced upon me that there was no place like California
for the thoroughbred, I came to beautiful Santa Anita."

Two years at Mr. Baldwin's increased Doctor Aby's knowl-
edge, and ripened his experience, the opportunities for study-
ing of blood lines aud experimenting in the development of
the scores of gilt-edged youngsters being practically unlim-
ited.

In 18SS Mr. Frederic Gebhard established the Guenoc
Ranch near Middletown, Lake county, and having boundless
resources naturally desired the very best assistants, and as
naturally invited Dr. Aby to assume charge as general man-
ager. Together with the owner, Dr. Aby visited the ranch,
suggested preliminary improvements which were at once put
in course ot construction, and then started East for stallions.
Eole, Eolist and St. Savior were already owned by Mr. Geb-
hard, and Dr. Aby left for California with them on August
12th, 1888. On the morning of the 13th at Port Jervis, Pa.,
the train went over a precipice 180 feet high into the Dela-
ware river.killing twelve out of fourteen horses, St. Savior and
the mare Mineral being the only survivors. The doctor lo^t
everything he had in the world buthispluck, a pair of socks
and the left pocket of the pair of pantaloons which he was
wearing at the time, and the socks were s'.olen before day-
light next morning. Then followed eight weeks in the New
York Hospilal, during which suffering was great and conva-
lescence siow, but at last the patient was discharged, and at
once set about carrying out the original defign. A grandly
bred and grander looking horse, Imported Greenback by
Dollar, dam Music by Stookwell, together with some mares
likely to nick with Greenback and St. Savior, were purchased,
and the band again started for Guenoc, reaching tbat ideal
borse rancho on February 4th, 1SS9, since which time Dr.
Aby's lines have been cast in pleasant placeB. He is endeav-
oring to make Guenoc a perfect horse-breeding establish-
ment, and those who know the solid learning of the man in
horse love, his sleepless energy and fixedness of purpose, as
well aB his tact, will readily believe in the future of Mr. Geb-
hard's principality which covers the meads, canadas, oat
hills and cool springs of so great a part of peerless Lake.
Like every other man of marked individuality. Dr. Aby is an
impressive character. Full of horsey talk, and strongly in love
with his profession, his position and prospects, he can never-
theless find hours for other employments, andsome for recre-
ation. He is a keen sportsman, a fine wing shot, good fish-
erman, bright story-teller, the most charming of hosts, a
manly man and a friend worth making, and doubly well
worth trying to.

Missouri Horse Exchange.

The largest, best and most perfectly appointed repository
under cover in America, is the Missouri Horse Exchange, in
St. Louis, Mo. It has the best management that can be ob-
tained with thoroughly experienced men in every depart-
ment, 'and consequently is enabledj to insure high prices
for stock consigned to its care. It arranges special sales for
large consignments and contributes in every possible way to
the advantage of its patrons. The officers, Messrs. George
Gray, President, aDd Harry Ashman Secretary, are most
favorably koown in local circles, and their business connec-
tions «re rapidly bringing tbem into contact with the best
possible clientage of breeders, and the fact insures
the greatest proeperity in the future. The firm will hold a
great sale duriDg the St. Louis Trotting Meeting. Sept. 30th
and Oct. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. The advertisement of
the company appears in another column and should be read
by; all horte and cattle owners.

J. A- McKerron's Horse Boots-

Ten years ago John A. McKerron made a trotting boot for
Sam Gamble, then proprietor of the Clnb Stables in this city.
The boot was a departure from accepted patterns of that
day, and was the best that either Gamble or his horse-owning
friends had seen. The materials used were the very best and
the workmanship firstclass. Mr. McKerron's success in the
initial attempt soon brought him another order, and when it
appeared that the second boots were full up to the standard
set by the first, the orders began to come with such frequency
that Mr. McKerron was compelled to give up all other work
and make nothiog but horse boots. A few months enlarged
his business so mnch that he cooM not meet the demand
alone, and he began employing carefully selected assistants
until he now has twenty-five of the best Baddlers in America
working under him. Prosperity has not changed the canny
Scot a bit, however, and his whole time is spent in his shop
where every piece of work is subjected, at all stages of com-
pletion, to the keen exacting and educated inspection of the
master. The result is that the McKerron boots are standard
all over the world, and in fact, two-thirds of the great volume
of business done is with buyersjeast of the Rocky Mountains,
Mr. McKerron's Xew York agents, A. R Van Nest & Co.,
handling that portion of the trade. Mr. McKerron's Pacific
Coast agents are Messrs. Main & Winchester. Mr. McKer-
ron issues a catalogue of his boots and appliances, in which
the illustrations and drawings, specially prepared under
personal supervision, showing each boot in full detail. In
printing these drawings have been colored, so that each
boot, and every part of each boot, as it appears on the list, is
an exact miniature representation oi the original. Thus any
one by looking through these illustrations can practically get
as good an idea of the boots as by seeing samples in a case.
It is needless to add, that any horseman can tell at a glance a
boot that will answer a particular purpose more readily than
from pages of elaborate description.

With regard to quality, it is but simple justice to say that
in Btyle, fit and durability, as well as in the general excel-
lence of the materials and workmanship used in their con-
struction, these boots are bejond all comparison the best
ever offered to the public.

The book may be had from Mr. McKerron, 228, 230 and
232 Ellis street, San Francisco, or from the agents.

Every style of boot has a distinguishing number and is
made in three sizes.

Every boot has its number stamped on the leather in plain
figures, also one or other of the lettera L,, M., or S. These
are the initials of the wordB Large, Medium and Small.

In ordering, these numbers and letters are all that need be
used. Thus, an order for 1 pair No. 8, M., would bring a
pair;of front shin boots, medium Bize, feersey, elastic; wnile
an order for 1 pair No. 57 M., would bring the same boot in
French calfskin instead of kersey, etc., etc.

Never say same as last unless you give the date of the pre-
vious order.

In cases of abnormal development, either natural or the
result of accident, special directions for the necessary meas-
urements will be furnished on application. Cases within a
reasonable distance of San Francisco will recrive his personal

attention.

An Artist in Iron.

Modern ornamental work in wrought iron and brass is so
artistic in design and so exquisite in execution as to fairly
entitle it to a place among tbiDgs most beautiful. If there is
a doubter let him visit D. D. Wass at 141—143 First street,
San Francisco, and study the exhibit made in his warerooms.

A visit paid to the St. Julian, or as it is more favorably
known as Martin O'Dea's shop, served to impress upon your
correspondent the necessity of education, skill and observa-
tion in the proper shoeing of trotters. Mr. O'Dea has shod all
our famous flyers. Look at the list: St. Julian, Rarus,
Lucy, Goldsmith Maid, Sweetzsr, Occident, Arab. FollertoD,
Nutwood, Giaves, Bodine, Overman, Sana Purdy, Clemen-
tine, Abbotsford, Oakland Maid, Volney, StambouL etc , etc.
One naturally supposes there must be some particular reason
for the universal selection of any one man to whom such fleet
and valuable horses are entrusted. A look at the skilfull way
in which the proprietor (for be it known that he does the
wcrk on all particular jobs himBelf) deftly hammers and draws
the iron with quick, nervous strokes, shaping and fashioning
the metal to the desired shape, convinces one that he is well
entitled to the name given bim at the head of this article.
Mr- O'Dea is no stranger in our midst, having been continu-
ally iu the same line of business since 1869. during which
time he baB shod not only our fleetest footed horses (in a turf
sense), but all classes are alike sureof the same conscientious
treatment at his hands. He has seven men constantly em-
ployed, end not one that does not excel in hi? particular line.
So great is the fame as a thorough and skilfull workman of
Dr. O'Dea that he is frequently called to go into the interior
of the State to attend lo difficult and complicated caseB of
shoeing. His shop is beyond all doubt 'he most popular one
of its kind not only in the city, bat Mr. O'Dea has given it a
reputation throughout the State as the shop par excellence of
flue and scientific shoeing.

J. 0. Johnson & Co.

Time was in California when the saddler wus cbiefest
among ten thousand and altogether lovely. In those days of
elegant appanage J.C.Johnson & Co., 400 to 404 Market
Btreet, city, led the trade and have since maintained their repu-
tation for thorough honesty in selection of material* and work-
manship, as well as for superb taste in designs for harness
and saddlery. The firm not only manufactures largely, but
also carries heavy lines of goods made in the East and else-
where. The huge Btore presents an epitome of the advanced
trade in the wares handled, and the continued prosperity of
the firm for bo many years is the beat possible guarantee both
of business integrity and able management.

At Agricultual Park,

In the cattle department a splendid display is to be seen,
Durhams, Jerseys, Devons, Herefords, Polled Angus, Ayr-
shires and graded cattle being well represented. Although
the entries did not close until Thursday night cattle com-
menced to come in the latter part of last week and the earlier
portion of this in great numbers to compete for the premi-
ums offered by the State Fair Society. Class 1, for Durhams,
or Shorthorns, as they are generally called, has several good
herds, the first to arrive beiDg Messrs. Bridgeford's and Mul-
ligan's and P. Peterson's herds from Colusa County, and P.
S. Chile's from Davisville. The Colusa herd {eight head) was
led by a good looking two year old bull.. Mazurka Duke, a
good hard red, with a typical head, powerful neck and should-
ers, nice level back ana short legs. Two cows five and sis
years old followed him, bHh as level topped and even as
could be wished, and though very fat Bhowed every indica-
tion of being good milkers. The two two year old heifers
were nice shapely, beefy lookiog cattle, close to the ground,
witn good widb hips and lots of quality. A yearling heifer
and a yearling bull were near the rear of the procession. The
latter has a very taking appearance, a hard red, with every
indication of making a grand b.jefy animal; the last waB a
tine, robust eight mouths old calf. P. S. Chile's herd was
headed by the well known four year old Kirklevington Ox-
ford Count, a dark red bull in grand show condition, his
maBsive, taurine head and neck, muscular, well developed
shoulders, tremendous girth and broad back, with short legs,
and despite his weight, good, active movements, excited gen-
eral admiration. P. Peterson has twenty-one head of as
thoroughbred looking cattle as could be wished for. Coun-
sellor, brought from Illinois, is the lord of the harem. He is
a good dark red, with plenty of beef evenly laid on, very act-
ive in spite of his 2390 pounds. A good looking yearling bull
is in the next stall. He was brought from Kentucky, and
should improve the breed. Five cows, all large, roomy looking
and good milkers, the youngest of them a three yaar old,
took second prize last year. Her calf has been sold for $150.
There are two shapely two year old heifers and a bull of the
same age, who already weighs 1730 pounds, four yearling
heifers and six calves, three of either sex and a calf by Coun-
sellor, the property of Mr. Bryant, Nevada County, who
bought his dam last year. Four cows followed in his wake,
well matched and evidently good milkers. Two yearling
bulls, Prince, a hard red, and Cupbearer 2nd, a red roan,
looked fit to compete in any company, while the four bull
calves and five heifers all under a year old, give practical
demonstration of the Count's prowess as a producer.

In Class 2, for Jerseys and Guernseys, H. S. Sargent,
S'.ockton, had sent thirteen worthy representatives of that
popular breed, the foremost being a powerful, lengthy, black-
ish-fawn five year old bull, who is stronger and bigger than is
usual in that breed, but yet has plenty of quality. The six
cows, all young animals, showed enough indication of keep-
ing up the reputa'ion of the Jerseys as milk producers, hav-
ing big udders, all of them being milked twice or three times
a day and giving a generous Bupply of milk. Two two year
old heifers, threeheifer calves and one bull calf completed the
herd.

In class 3 for Devons the first herd to arrive was R. Mc-
Enespy's herd. Five head started out, but there are already
sis and Bhould be seven shortly, an increase being daily ex-
pected. A nice, low, red seventeen months* old bull brought
from Pennsylvania and two oows were leading the van; a
heifer fourteen months old, which has since calved, and a
shapely two-year-old heifer very heavy in calf were much ad-
mired; a heifer and a bull both under a year old complete
the entry.

Class 6 — Holsteins or Friesian have the best entries in the
ground, both in numbers and quality. Twenty-five head
from Senator Stanford's Vina Ranch were placed in the first
lot of stalls nearest to the grand stand, a magnificent four-
year-old bull having the first stall, the four two-year-old bulls
and the se?en yearlings were a very even lot nicely marked,
with plenty of quality and with every sign of developing in-
to good stock bulls. Of the six cows two are imported from
Friesland, and all are tremendous mjlk-yielders, two heifer
and two bull calves complete the quota, all of which are reg-
istered in the Holstein Friesian Herd Book.

G. B. Polhemus of Coyote has twenty-four head, with Rom-
ley 3249 H. H. B., 62 A. R,, at the bead of the list. This
well-known bull was imported in utero from Friesland to
Massachusetts, and thence here. He is the sire of many
prominent Holsteins in the advanced Registry, and also in
the show ring . Seven cows are Bhown, all of which are reg-
istered in the Holstein Herd Book, having been imported and
out of cows with a tremendous milk record. Sansye 2nd is
a typical Holstein. Her mother, Sansye, was imported, and
Bhortly after her arrival calved Sansye 2nd, who was the first
animal admitted in California to the Advanced Registry.
Four two-year-old heifers and one two-year-old bull are also
showD, six trim characteristic yearling bulls, a yearling
heifer and four calves, two of each sex. All are entered in
the Herd Book.

In Class 7, Angus or Galloways, G. M. Dixon. Argonaut
Stock Farm, has eleven head in the class. They are black
Polled Angus, end are a very even lot, lengthy, Bhort-legged
and very beefy-looking, hardy stock. Miniature, a three year
old bull weighing 2525 pounds, has the premier position, aDd
worthily, too, for he is a good representative of the breed.
Coquette 2nd, of Lake Forest, is probably as near perfection
as anything in the class, her head boing exceptionally fine.
Her sire, Basuto, is a well known winner of the Bhow ring in
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and the Eastern States. He was
bred by Sir George McPhersoo Grant in Stockton, while her
dam was the well known Coquette 4th, a prize winner in
Scotland and afterwards in the Eastern States. Two four
year old cows, a two year old heifer with a pretty bull calf,
a three year old yearling and a heiier calf are also exhibited.

F. H. Burke's La Siesta Holsteins are so well known that
it is almost needless to expatiate on their merits. There are
nineteen head in all. The bulls were all raised by Mr. Burke.
Two of them, big, long rangy animals of massive proportions
are brilliant examples of what the ranch can raise. The
cows, several of which are imported, are a very even lot, evi-
dently great milk producers.

P. C. Anderson, Oakland, has five useful-looking Jerseys.

W. C. Smith, Florin, has eight head of Jerseys, including
a useful two-year-old bull, who is rather thin, a bull calf,
the old seventeen-year-old cow, last year's prize winner,
three heifers (two and one year old and a calf) out of ber and
two heifer calves.

Geo. Bement, Oakland, has twelve Ayrsbires, headed by
Lord Faxon, a dark red and white bull, four younger bulls
and eight cows and heifers. They were, with one exception,
all bred by the owner.

J. E. Camp has eight head of Polled angus that are very
well matched, though rather rough haired; they show good
quality; two useful young Durham bulls are also entered by
Mr. Cam p.

The Interstate Galloway Cattle Company have thirty-nine
head of Galloways aad three Polled a^gus. The former have
evidently been carefully Bt-lected, being a very uniform lot.

Henry Vaughan, the well known importer of Herefords, had
twelve head of his favorite breed, which should upset the
Shorthorn fanciers this year in the sweepstakes. Pertly is a
grand six year old bull weighing 2,800 pounds. He is by
Rudolph, the celebrated Wyoming bull for whom $40,000
was retused. His dam was by Royalist, the sire of Lenora,
who was said to be the best Hereford heifer ever Bhown in
England. Pertly is a big, lengthy animal, with a back like a
table, wide behind and on good short legs. Although he has
not been here long he is in very good t-how trim. Among his
cows is an eleven year old, a winner in St. Louis in 1S87,
then weighing 1,800 poundB, and although she has had seven
calves, four of which have been exhibited successfully in the
show ring, she is in very good condition, having plenty of
fat evenly distributed on her; the four and three year old
cows have both had calves and are again in calf. They, with
the old cow, were originally imported from England. There
are also in the herd avery sLapely two yearold beifer brought
from Illinois; she is in calf; a yearling and oue neaily two
years old, both in calf to Pertly, and a good ten months old
heifer calf. The younger bulls are Hickory Grove, a massive
two year old, What's Wanted, an aptly named yearling, dark
red and a splendid specimen of his breed. Both his parents
are well known winners at Kilborn and the crack iiaiglish
shows. Two bull calves, ten and nine months old, are at the
tail end of a herd the equal of which has probably never been
Been in California before.

H. M. La Ru has his Australian Hereford, who is hardly
in as good condition as he has been before. M. Swan, of
Santa Barbara, has six head of nice even range bulls; though
not in condition, they are iu good trim for ranch cattle.

A. & A. Heilbron have ten Hereford and eighteen'Short-
horns. The Herefords consist of two bulls, two bull calves,
four cows and two heifers. One of the bulls is a very good
representative. The Shorthorns or Durhams include eleven
good useful bulls, two cows and calves.

W. Jacobs' (Sacramento) herd is represented by seven good
average cows and a shapely bull.

The California Pastoral and Agricultural Association, Mer-
oed, sent up eleven head of graded cattle, and thongh not
fattened up like some other exhibits, they are in good condi-
tion for breeding purposes.

Messrs. Younger and son have seventeen head of Durhams,
eleven females and six males. The cows are all good strong,
healthy, well put up cattle. The big red bull begins. to show
signs of age, but the younger, a roan, is a very compact,
short-legged, beefy animal.

J. M. Mansfield, of Napa, has a big red bull in the same
class, rather old, judging from his appearance, but there
should be some good work in him yet.

J. Marzen, Nevada, has nine Durhams and a yearling
Hereford bull. A good red four year old bull has the poBt of
honor; the six cowb, all young, arejuseful looking, with plenty
of quality.

Sacramento, Cal., Thursday, Sept. 13th.

The State Fair is again upon us. For the thirty-ninth time
this capital city is full of people and full of horses. Sacra-
mento is a good town to sleep in for fifty weeks of the year.
but for the other two itis the only townin the State. People
forget that there is any other place to go to, and every rail-
road which leads this way carries hundreds of excursionists
who come for two weeks to see what their neighbors over the
county line are doing toward raising fine pumpkins, and
what their friends on the stock ranches are doing in the way
of producing prize bulls. Then the boys come to see just
where they can put their money, so that it will do the most
good, and to settle in their own minds whether the chestnut
colt from down south can give the bay from the north a beat-
ing. Then the true-blooded horseman comes, and he brings
with him the pick and pride of his place, the immaculate
conceptions of his pet breeding theory to be entered along-
side the same kind of an article produced by another horse-
man. Then the women and children come, some to see the
races, some to see their relatives, and all toenjoy themselves.
The poor, hard-worked wife from the farm sitB alcngside the
aristocratic wearer of silks and satins from the city. The
one will bet her gloves and her bon-bons upon some racer
whose colors please her, while the other will watch with beat-
ing heart and heaving breast and an unuttered prayer in her
bosom the efforts of her husband's one entry to win a purse
which means half a year's living to her and the little ones.
One of them sees in a horse a machine of muscle and bone,
built to run as an actor is trained to play — to please the
public; the other sees a thing of life and heart — a kind of
foster-child — bred and born, nursed and nurtured right
under the eaves of the old homestead, and carrying with him
as he jogs down to the post, the hopes and the fears, the
success or the failure, the joy or the pain, of a whole family
and half a county.

It is a cosmopolitan crowd which congregates at the State
Fair. There are many fairs and many race meetings, but to
the counties there is but one State Fair, and they show their
appreciation of it by hoarding for a whole year all the spare
dimes which come in, and at the fall season, and then when
the year's work is about over and its fruits in the bin, they
come out for a season of absolute eojoyment.

The State Fair this year has not seen its equal in the past.
Never were the premium lists so heavy and never were the
entries so large. There are three distinot features of the fair,
the races, the stock shows and the pavilion exhibits, and the
three appeal to three different classes of people. The races
of course, draw the largest crowd and have the widest inter-
est. What sport they will furnish this year can be seen by a
glance at the entry list. Every event has a heavy quota of
starters and there have been up to date, remarkably few
scratches. The horses to contend are all well known, too
well known to the racing public to deserve detailed mention.
The stables include all ol the old timers. There are repre-
sentatives here from Palo Alto. Raucho del Paso, Rosemea'ie,
San Mateo, Pleasunton and every other large breeding estab-
lishment west of the Rockies, and there are smaller owners
by the dozen; Bruce Cockrell, Billy Appleby, Matt Storn,
John Reavey, Kelly & Samuels, Dan Reeves, L. U. Shippee,
Colonel Thornton, P. Cv Donalicb, Charles Horan, Tom
Jones, Ben Hill, J. E. Fallon, H. H. Hobbs, C. V. Tupper
and W.M. Murray.

Among the lovers of the trotter there are G. Valensin, Ir-
vin Ayres, Orrin Hickok, G. A. Doherty, E. B. Gifford, J. A.
Linscott, "By" Holly, Scott Quinton, A. C. Dietz. Frank
Borke, Alfred Gonzales, A. T. Hatch, H. B. Starr, George W.
Woodward, J. R. Hodgson and others, besides the scores of
trainers, jockeyB and tbe crowd who love a race as they love
their lives.

The track and adjacent grounds never presented a better
appearance than they do to-day. The track is smooth as
velvet and in the best of condition for the trotters and good
enough for the runners. It is not quite so fast as the Napa
track, but will compare with any other in the State. The
rising sun sees half a hundred horses at their work every
morning, and a handsomer lot can't be put together in any
one State in the Union. The park stables are the most com-
modious and most comfortable in the West, and still they
have been found inadequate and 67 new cottage stalls have
been built within the past three days. With this addition
everything is full up to the brim and more stock coming.
There are horses, cattle and sheep everywhere. They fill
the stalls and the sheds to overflowing and stand with
their heads out the doors of the old abandoned sheds away
down the quarter stretch. Grooms, rubbers and attendants
are flying about all day long and there is a continual bustle
and excitement from daylight until dark.

The pavilion has been Badly behindhand. The formal op-
ening took place Mondiy evening, but it saw a confused mass
of pumpkin-, and pianos, hoise collarB and stick candy, har-
ness and needlework, windmills and canned fruit, instead of
a well-ordered show. Throngs of men have been diligently
at work since then, and something like arrangement has been
brought out of the chaos, and Thursday night for the first
time people saw what the exposition would be like.

One's tiist impression on entering the pavilion is that Cali-
fornia produces half the fruit of the world. There ib fruit to
the left of you, fruit to the right of you, fruit in front of you:
fruit green and frait dry, fruit on the bunch and fruit in the
oan. Every county displays fruit, and there is enough to
ftei this city a week. The displays of farm machinery, bug-
gies, harness, etc., is hardly up to former years, in tbe
buggy department the Columbus Buggy Company makeB it
usual large exhibit of light vehicles running iu style from a
hunting wagon to a T cart.

A. Meister & Co. display a larger assortment of California
made vehicles consisting of buggies, phaetons, carriages, hotel
busses, etc. C. Nielson of Sacramento, shows seventeen
specimens of carriage work. Studebaker Bros, exhibit farm
wagons and several Btyles of buggies, and Maxon & Ackley of
Sacramento, family carriages, sulkies and other vehicles.

The display of farm implements is not very elaborate.
Several styles of windmills, two or three patterns of com-
bined harvesters, hay presses, threshers, eto , are shown.
Many other entries in the deparlment are not yet in place.

Killip & Co , the pool-sellers, have bean the means of cre-
ating quite a furor. They secured a vacant lot belonging to
the government on 7th and K streets, opposite the Golden
Eagle Hotel, and built thereon a shed for the stated purpose
of selling over-night pools. The city government sat down
on the gambling fraternity, and it became noised about that
Killip & Co. had sublet a part of their lot to the gamblers, and
that tbe gambling would go on despite the city law under
the pretext that the city had no jurisdiction over the govern-
ment land. Two men stated a game in the shed, and were
immediately arrested. The police judge decided that he had
no jurisdiction, and that night the wheel started in the shed
and is running in full blast. Killip & Co. deny having any-
thing to do with the games. Opposition people started pool-
Belling in the Golden Eigle Hotel, but only a few bets were
laid, and the business was suspended. The betting thus far
in Killip's shed baB been very heavy. Sunol's walk-over in
the Occident Stake, Thursday, called out odds of $20 to $15
that she would trot in 2:18,

The trip of the stables up from Oakland was made in per-
fect safety,,, not a single horse sustaining injury. The con-
tingent from up country also had a safe arrival. Tbe racers
have the call on stables, of course, and all are comfortably
housed. There are many comendable features in the State
fair management which the other associations might adopt
with small expense. On the huge blackboard in front of the
grandstand are placed the names of all starterB in a race with
drivers or riders, the postions of horses in each heat and the
time by quarters. Every jockey is numbered to correspond
with his mount's number on the card and riders are compell-
ed to wear stables colors corresponding with the colors an-
nounced on the card. By these means, the result of a little
care, the general public is enabled to identify the horse in a
race and to determine the exact positions of a finish. Every-
thing considered, the track and grounds are the best arrang-
ed and the best equipped for raoing to be found
anywhere outside the big eastern cities. To-day sees the
opening and when the Breederand Ssortsman goes to
press the State Fair will be in full blast and a thousand
throats will be oherring the winners of |the opening events,
success to the fair and success to the men whose energy
and enterprise have established it as tbe racing entertain-
ment of the year and of the west.

Please let me know tbe pedigree of "Khoderick Dhu" own-

Answer. — Mr. Charles Kerr, of Bakerfield who bred the
horsp, says he was by Whipple's Hambletoniau, dam by
Pauls Abdallah, of his second dam he knows nothing.

Please s*nd letter to this office as to how you got sush a
pedigree for the mare. We think you have been imposed
upon, but will straighten it out if possible.

James A. Clayton of San Jose will sell at public auction,
for whom it may concern, during the Fair Meeting at that
place, a choice lot of draft horses, including prize winners J
and premium colts. A number of standard trotting horses (
will also be sold at the same sale.

Mr. Biggs, Jr., has been annoyed, and justly feeh a good
deal injured by the various reports of the St. Lucas race at
Marysville last week, more particularly by the report in
one of our prominent dailies. As a matter of fact, the judges
did not take Mr. Biggs out of the sulky; on the contrary,
when he requested them to allow him to substitute a driver
they asked him to continue driving himself, bu* as his arms
were very tender from recent boils he was unable to do the
horse justice and insisted on their allowing him to have a
new driver and IoBt a good deal of money on tbe race. After
consulting with several friends who were the principal back-
ers of the horse, Kinney was put up. The result is already
known: Annie E. won.

DON PATRICIO.

One of tbe Finest Stallions In Southern California-
Owned by I. B.. FIslier. of Santa Barbara.

A. W. Richmond 1687, was foaled in 1S62 near Cleveland,
Ohio. He was by Simpson's Blackbird, and his dam was repu-
ted to be by a horse called Rateier ; the grand dam said to be by
a spotted horse named Spotted Ranger. He was bred by Azar-
iah Prussia of Iowa, and was brought to this State |by Joseph
Cairn Simpson, now of Oakland. This gentleman sold Rich-
mond to Hancock M. Johnson, of San Diego, who owned him
until the death of the horse in December of last year. Away
in that far off corner of the State he had not the opportunities
which should have been bis, yet still he has left a name through
his progeny that will live for years to come. A. W. Richmond
came first into prominence as a Sire, in 1S79, when Len Rose
as a two year old, trotted at Sacramento in 2 : 47^, which ,was
then considered a remarkable performance, and two years later
Romero appeared upon the circuit gaining a record for himself
of 2 : 22K as a four year old, which he further reduced in 1882
to 2 : 19%. Another of his get which made him famous was
the celebrated pacer Arrow 2 : 13X which last year and the
year previous was such a well known campaigner. Ellwood,
another pacer has a record of 2 : 24, but it is as the Sire of Col-
umbine that he is best known. She stands today the only
broodmare in the great table with two trotters to her credit bet-
ter than 2 : 20, they being Anteeo 2 : i6#, and Antevolo 2 : 19^
as a four year old.

Is it any wonder that the close student of producing blood
should want A. W. Richmond stock? Certainly not, the only
wonder being that there were not more of the fashionably bred
matrons sent to his harem for he had many years ago proved
himself a producer of great speed. Those who have any of the
get of A. W. Richmond are very fortunate, for it is certain that
his sons' will be in great demand before long. Among the
many good ones now in this State there is probably not one
that ranks in individual excellence with don patricio, owned
by I. K. Fisher of Santa Barbara. Mr. Fisher is an ardent
lover of equine sport and an exceedingly good judge
flesh, so when he determined some time ago to purchase
class' stock horse he did not buy on the " say so
but carefully examined any and all that he thought might suit,
traveling north and south, in his determination to take only the
best

The Fairlawn Sale.

The sale of Fairlawn trotters, which will take place on the
10th, 11th and 12 of October next, wi'l be the greatest dis-
posal sale of trotters ever held. The Glenview sale comprised
but 183 head, while Fairlawn will sell 250. These animals
are the result of fifteen years' careful application by one of
the ablest breeders in the United States. There iB no trotting
farm in America or elsewhere that can show animals of great-
er excellence than can be found at Fairlawn. The brood
mares and fillies are a rich lot, and our youDg breeders will
do well to make selections from among them. \ve regard the
Fairlawn collection as by long odds the best large lot of stock
ever put on the market. Fifteen daughters of Almont are
now dams of eighteen 2:30 performers. This beats the record
by two for a horde of his age. Almont will soon be known as
the greatest Bire of dams, in addition to his many other great
achievements. Read the advertisement of the Fairlawn sale.

A Lament For Old Black Joe.

BY KIT KILLBIED.

Meeting of the Advisory Committee of the
American Kennel Club, held Aug. 1, '89.

of horse
first
of any one,

When Willoughby and Co. offered for sale the steel grey
Stallion Don Patricio foald 18S4 by A. W. Richmond, dam
Bridget who was out of Lady Lexington, she by Kentucky Hun-
ter The dam of Don Patricio, Bridget, was a very fast road
mare of more than usual speed, r,s she could readily pull a road
wagon a mile in 2:40, while she has been known to beat three
minutes with two gentlemen in a heavy buggy. In buying the
young colt, Mr. Fisher was well aware of the great individuality
of the mare and felt assured that across with A. W. Richmond
must make the produce a very desirable animal. In addition to
the well known qualities of the sire and dam, Don Patricio is in
himself a perfect model of the ideal trotter, and those who have
seen him, speak in the highest manner of his conformation and
great muscular development. His head presents a high degree
of intelligence, very broad forehead, magnificent eyes, well set
ears and a fine tapering neck which emanates from as muscular
a pair of shoulders as man ever saw on any well bred horse. He
is well coupled with fine broad back, very deep through the
heart and closely knit ribs, presenting a finished body appear-
ance that is rarely witnessed. His quarters are heavy, stifle
action good and legs that cannot be beat. Don Patricio has
never been trained, yet can show quarters in thirty eight sec-
onds,and it is confidently believed by many that 2: 20 will be an
•easy mark for him with the requisite amount of work. He will
not be trained this year, but next season Mr. Fisher will put
the horse in competent hands with the idea of getting a low
record for him.

Mr. Fisher is a keen sportsman and thoroughly beheves in
only securing the best of everything and he tias made no mistake
in purchasing this grand looking son of A. \V. Richmond.

I K Fisher is one of the pushing, wide awake business men
of Santa Barbara, and is always to'the fore in matters of public
interest ; and it was through his indefatigable efforts that the
present excellent water supply of the city was brought into use.
For three successive terms, he has been elected to the position
of City Councilman, and at the last election he was the only one
that was reelected, thus showing how his valuable services are
appreciated by his fellow townsmen.

Mr. Fisher has a fine ranch only six miles from the city of San-
ta Barbara, which he expects to turn into a first class breeding
farm, having already secured quite a number of well bred
mares. It is only a question of time until the fame of Mr.
Fisher's stock farm will be second to none in the State, and it
is an assured fact that only the best will be allowed there.
With Don Patricio at the head of the stud, Mr. Fisher should
have a lot of youngsters that will equal any to be found in the
country.

General Hart came down to Marysville on Thursday to
see his mare Almonta, trot on Friday. The General was very
much dis-ippointed about the Wednesday',* race as were
many others.

McCord was afraid of getting Ned Winslow driven out too
fast on Thursday at Marysville, so the race was declared off.
Soieklefritz, the oily other starter would probably have
forced him out in 2:2U.

Old Black Joe! What cheek is there that does not pale,
what lip that does not quiver, what heart, among this great
throng of American sportsmen, that does not tarn cold and
shiver at the chilling and repulsive shadow of Death, as
it glides with its relentless sickle over the alley-ways of *he
kennel yard, while the tear-dimmed eye reads this triple-
worded'phrase, Old Black Joe? If to the coterie of sympa-
thetic sportsmen, the sad intelligence of the death of this
great dog and field trial performer, comes with Bnch an ap-
palling shock, what, oh reader! muBt be the feelings of bis
proud, but now grief-stricken owner, who can bat cry, in
the agonizing throes of despair, "Oh Death, where is thy
sting? Oh Grave, where is thy victory?"

Little did we thins:, when tbe thrill of hope stirred the
heart, and the glow of a sportsman's pride and enthusiasm
mantled every cheek upon the plains of Bakersfield, where
Old Black Joe ran foremost and ahead, whipping his merry
stern in the face of his competitors, and carrying the stand-
ard of honor to the very pinnnacle of fame, whose temple
now stands in granite-like strength and magnitude upon the
haunted field, to commemorate the faultless stride, the en-
chanting style, and the unerring nose of the wonderful dog.
that the golden sands of California would so soon be heaped
apon the dead, cold firm and wreck of this phenomenal
performer, the pride of his owner's kennel, and the joy of a
sportsman's heart.

No sooner, or more suddenly had thiB great dog arispn
from the depths of obscurity, and ridden on the crest of the
waves that wafted him to the gilt-edge shores of fame and
reDown, that he sunk beneath them to rise no more. A
flash, a glimmer as it were, a rocket in the Bky, then the dull,
gray line that marks the path of the meteor in the dark blae
dome above us.

Yes, a brilliant actor has disappeared from the stage, a
Btar has fallen from the firmament, and in darkness we shall
erope, unless a spark! from this once bright luminary has
been kindled into a vestal flame, and guarded by watchful
eyes in the camp-groundB of the Pacific coast. Far in the fu-
ture, on pages of the history of the dogs of America, to those
who'may read it, when the handlers of to-day are grim, bald
and gray; when the buffalo shall have passed away, and the
Indian too; when the wild duck haa stopped nesting, and the
Spring shooter has laid down his old-fashioned hammer'ess.
the name of Old Black Joe will appear like an "oasis 'pon
the desert," "a green spot in memory's waste" to awaken
and rerall the sweet but sad memories of tbe past. The
trembling, tracing finger of the gray-bearded patriarch will
stop instinctively on the spot and a low, sepulchral voice
shall be heard, saying: "Come here sonny, and let grandpa
tell yon about that marvelous dog that oame all the way
from old England, leaving his pedigree amid the rubbish of
the work-shop of Pape, the gunmakeratNew-castle-on-Tyne,
to battle with the cracks upon the boundless fields of Amer-
ica, on tbe merits of his work alone, winning f 1 r his master
a purse greater in value, perhaps, than his purchase price,
and for himself.

Upon the scroll of fame.

An imperishable record, a spotless name.

Bat alas!

The "grim messenger" with mandates stern, Joe,

And decrees of Fate eternal
Have handicapped you here below

And flushed our irefinfernal.

But all will be yours, Joe, in spirit land whence no travel-
er returns, and of which now a still small voice, from the
depths of a hunter's soul within me, asks;

•'Is there a land and hunting grounds,

A land beyond tbe limit,
Of sinful souls terrestrial bounds

With guns and dogs within it?

"There is a land, a happy land,

A land beyond the sky,
Enticing fields, a guiding hand

And a voice saying, 'Hie.'"

There let this winged Bpirit fly.

Fly from the wrath to come
And we'll be there in the sweet bye and bye

To shout o'er the victory won.

Peace be to thy ashes good and faithful one, and upon the
stone above thy head there be writ in letters gilt, that he
who runs may read, veni, vidi, vtci.

Joe had, 'tis said, no pedigree,

But bow on earth could this thing be

For in hi* actions did we not Bee

The index of bis purity?

Poor Joe. good dog you have in me

One who rpveres the memory

Of every meritorious score

Won uader shotgnn's sullen roir

Ere thy battle of life was o'er.

Then, comrades, on his grave 1 ween.
Ton'llicast a sprig of evergreen,

A brother's consolation
If for naught but to show bow hard
Woe betiles a kennel yard
And a breeders aspiration.

He ,vas not mine, oh no,
The world knows that; bat then for Joe

I do repin*.
But the moist eye. and the lip that quivered
More than once o'er the vase thus shivered,

All, is mine.

The meeting was called to order at 1 o'cloek p. m.
Mr. Thomas H. Terry was duly elected chairman.
The report of the special committee consisting of C. M.
Mnnhall and T.B. Lee, in the matter of investigating the
charges preferred by the Michigan Kennel Club, against the
St. Paul and Minnesota Kennel Club, and referred to the
committee by the Executive Committee of the American
KeDnel Club at its meeting May 23rd, was submitted, and the
following resolution was offered and adopted:

Resolved, That the St. Paul aud Minnesota Kennel Club be
andis hereby censured for their neglect to comply strictly
with the rules of the American Kennel Club. Evidence is
wanted to convince thiB committee that the violation of the
roles was intentional, otherwise the committee would have
recommended the expulsion of the club. As to the matter of
the employment of Chas Weil as superintendent of the Bhow,
the committee deplores the fact that there is no rule of the
American Kennel Club which bears on his case. The 00m-
mittee therefore beg to recommend the adoption of a rule for-
bidding the official employment of any person expelled by a
a club that iB a member of the American Kennel Club.

The appeal of Mr. T. 0. Hi'l, Atlanta, Ga., from his dis-
qualification as the advertised Treasurer of the National
Poultry and Bench Show Association, was read, and the fol-
lowing resolution was offered and adopted:

Resolved, That Mr. T. O. Hall be granted sixty days to fur-
nish this committee with proof from the officers, or three re-
putable members of the late National Poultry and Bench
Show Association of Atlanta, Ga., that he was not the treas-
urer of said association, nor employed in any official capacity
at tbe Bhow ot said association, and that his name waB ad-
vertised and used as treasurer without his knowledge or con-
sent, that upon being furnished with satisfactory proof as
above this committee will recommend that the disqualifica-
tion in his case be removed.

The Secretary read a communication from Mr. W. B.
Shattuc, President of the American Field Trial Club, advising
the American Kennel Club that his club had paid Mr. Jbb.
L. Anthony the prize awarded to the pointer Lad of Bow at
the trials of 18S7, said commnnnicatiou being accompanied
by a resolution adopted by the Board of Control of the AmerJ
ican Field Trial Club, which was laid on tha table for futard
action, there being no quorum present without Mr. Anthony,
who declined to act in tne matter, being personally interested,
A petition from Mr. J. F. Campbell. Montreal. Canada,
forwarded by the Canadian Kennel Club, asking to be reliev
ed from the penalty of suspension for one year, imposed on
him by the American Kennel Club at its mee'ing December
6, 1888, was submitted, and resulted in the adoption of the
following resolution:

Resolved, It being the sense of this committee that Mr. J.
F. Campbell in having promptly paid back to the Westmin-
ster Kennel Club the prize he illegally won at its show, upon
notice to do so from the American Kennel Club, and having
in the opinion of this committee been safflciently punished
for his offense, it is hereby ordered that the suspension of
the Baid J. F. Campbell be and is hereby removed from this
date.

A request from the Dominion of Canada Kennel Clab for
the recognition of the awards at its coming show to be held
at Toronto, Canada, in September next, was read, and the
following resolution was adopted:

Whereas. The American Kennel Club, at its annnal meet-
ing in February last, entered into an agreement with the
Canadian Kennel Club to recognize its wins, and said Cana-
dian Kennel Club tiled with the American Kennel Club a copy
of its Constitution, Ry-Laws, Rules for the Governingof Dog
Shows in Canado, etc., therefore be it

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this committee that in
consideration of tbe aforementioned agreement between the
American Kennel Club and the Canadian Kennel Club, it
woald be confusing and unwise to recognize the wins at
Cauadian shows held under a variety of show rale*.

Resolved, That this committee hereby recommends that
the American Kennel Club should make a standing rale, to-
wit, that any show held in Canada under the rules of the
Canadian Kennel Club, will, upon application, he recognized
by thd American Kennel Club, provided said application
shall be recommended by the Canadian Kennel Club.

Resolved, The Secretary is hereby directed to pabliBh in
the August number of the Gazette the following names as

writer.

The late Clydesdale shows in Scotland have been very fioe,
with a large exhibit of splendid horses, and big crowds of
people in attendance. "The* presence of our American
friends, " says "Raveoswood, " "is as marked a feature of agri-
cultnral life at this season of the year as ever, and not ocly
are buyers from Canada and the United States numerous,
but they are looking out for and selecting stock of great
value. Nothing is more remarkable in this season's pur-
chases than the ample verification of the statement that tbe
day of the inferior horse is over." "Ravenswood" gives
quite a list of American purchases, which include many of
the finest young animals to be found in the Clydesdale
districts. Fine shows have been held at Staoraer, Wigtown,
Aberdeen and Melrose, all of which showed great advance in
breeding during the paBt few years, with perhaps the excep-
tion of Melrose, where the entries were not ho numerous as
usual, though the quality of many of the animals shown fffl3
of a superior character.

FAIRMONT.

A Promising Young Stallion. Tue Properly of Jamrg
G. Fair, Jr.

Away up, near Knights' Landing, is a farm consisting
of 11,000 acres of land owned by one of our wealthiest i
citizens, and yet there are but very few who are aware
that he is interested in horses and is branching out into
a prominent breeder of trotting horses. "Within the past j
twelve months Senator James G. Pair has developed an
inclination to go into the business that has brought fame
and golden opinions to Senator Stinford, Hon. L. J.
Rose, William Corbitt and many others on this coast. '
The large farm has heretofore been devoted to the raising
of cereals and hay, but now a certain portion will be I
reserved for the brood mares that may be added from
time to time, and small paddocks will be fenced off for
the use of the foals. It is pleasant to contemplate an-
other wealthy gentleman added to the numerous breed-
ers, but it is an assurance that only the gilt-edged and
fashionable strains will be cultivated on the farm.

It may be interesting to many to know how Senator
Fair became connected with a breeding establishment,
especially as it was by pure accident. Many years ago
every one in the habit of visiting the race tiack and park
were familiar with the well-known team owned and
driven by Mr. Flood, the banker. The names of Oakland
Maid and Queen were household words among those in-
terested in horses, for they were the team par excellence
of San Francisco, and by many thought to be the best in
the United States. It was no unusual thing to see them
beating a "twenty-five" gait, and many times they were
driven even faster than that. Oakland Maid was origin-
ally the property of Josiah Sessions, and before being
purchased by Mr. Flood had achieved great renown on
the track, caving made a record of 2:22. In the several
years that she was relegated to turf exploits she met and
conquered such good ones as Dan Voorhees, St. James,
May Howard, George Treat, San Bruno and scores of
others. Mr. Flood was anxious to secure a mate for the
Maid, and deputed Mr. George Congdon to purchase one
equally as fast, the result being that Queen was bought
in Orange County, New York, and sent out here. She
was a magnificent brown mare, and of the same age as
Oakland Maid, being foaled in 1868. Her Bire was Gari-
baldi, a son of Rysdyk's Harnbh-.tonian, and her dam
was a very fast trotting mare, whose sire was Royal
George; the second dam was by the famous old horse, St.
Lawrence. Owing to the death of Mr. Congdon, the
breeding of Queen was for a long time in doubt, but when
inquiries were set on foot it took but a short time to clear
up the mystery of her parentage and determine where
she got her great speed from, It was generally conceded
by those most capable of judging that she could easily
beat 2:18 if in proper condition, but she was never
started in a race singly, consequently what she might
have done is only a matter of conjecture. In the course
of time both of the mares were bred, Queen being stinted
to Piedmont, and the result was Fairmont, the subject of
this sketch. Mr. Flood finally made a present of the
colt to Mr. James G. Fair, Jr., who sent the handsome
youngster up to his father's place. Mr. Fair, pere, at
once saw the necessity of having some good brood mares,
and an advertisement was inserted in the Breeder xsd
Sportsman looking toward that end. There were scores
of answers, but a large majority of the stock offered did
not suit, as good producing dams were wanted-
A3 yet only half a dozen have been secured, but from
tima to time the number will be added to. It will be
seen from the above that the presentation of the colt to
young Mr. Fair is what caused the Senator to add the
horse interest to his already large and diversified busi-
nesses. The youngateris three years old, a son of a great
performer, and also a producer of speed, as is testified to
jn the fact that already this year four of his get have
entered the 2.30 list, with many more to hear from.
Piedmont was as game a horse as ever started in a race
aDd is the fastest son of the mighty Almont. His record
shows that he engaged in fifteen hotly contested races,
and he has forty one heats to his credit, made in better
time than 2:30.

His record of 2:17^ was made in one of the greatest
races that ever took place in America. The celebrated
stallions Robert McGregor, 2:17£, Santa Glaus, 2:17£,
Monroe Chief, 2:18£, Wedgewood, 2:19, and Hannis,
2.17JJ, were his competitors at Chicago on July 19, 1881,
where they met in battle royal to determine the relative
merits of the great stallions of the day. The first and
third heats went to McGregor in 2-18 and 2:18£. Santa
Claus won the second heat in 2:17£* while Piedmont took
the fourth, fifth and sixth heat3 in 2.174-, 2:19£ and 2:21.
This stamped the winner as being tne very best horse
of his age in the country, and all Californians were grati-
fied when it was learned that Senator Stanford had pur-
chased the great horse for stock purposes. With such

game breeding on both sides, is it to be wondered that
James G. Fair, Jr., thinks that he has the most promisf
ing young horse in the Stater1

Flowing iu the veins of Fairmont we tiul the blood o
Rysdyk's Hambletonian, Almont, Mambrino Cbief,
Mambrino and Pilot Jr., enough of each to warrant the
belief that he should be as fast as the wind, and an
equally good producer, fur all of his ancestors have
proven their good qualities in that respect.

Fairmont is a beautiful bay, and will undoubtedly
stand fully sixteen hands high when he has attained his
full growth. To the eye of the ordinary observer, the
horse is a picture, but when the practical horseman
takes a look over his proportions, captivation at one* 1
ensues. He is perfectly balanced, has a fine intelligent
he^d,.good neck, set in a deep pair of shoulders, is wel
muscled, grand legs, and tendons that cannot be sur
passed. There is a breadth to the legs that betokens
great strength. His middle piece is extraordinarily good,
and the back ribs have the proper curve. There is all.
the room necessary for the heart and lungs, and, taken
all in all, he is as near perfection as one could desire
Mr. Fair may be congratulated on having the very best
three-year-old to be seen anywhere, and if he does not
prove a most valuable horse, then breeding and looks go
for nothing.

Almont Mares.

Ed. BreedF-R and Sportsman: — Almont produced altogether
not more than 800 foala. Of these not more than 400 are
alive — about 200 sons and about the same number of daugh-
ters. Of the latter fourteen remain unsold at Fairlawn,
and these having been selected by General Withers for his
stnd, are among the best bred, and the best individuals of
all the mares produced by that renowned stallion. As these
mares are shortly to pass under the auctioneer's hammer, a
description of them will probably be of interest to your
readers, particularly as it is now a recognized fact that Al-
mont will in all probability soon become the greatest sire of
trotting sires. I will take up these mares alphabetically.

The first is Agate, foaled in 1870. She is a rom mare, 15|
hands high, bred at Fairlawn. Her first dam was Annie
Bailey, by Kysdyk's Hambletonian; 2nd dam by Hiram Drew.
Annie Bailey was e very fast trotter. Agate is a beautifully
gaited mare and conld easily be put in the 2:30 list. She is
a good breeder and was breJ this year to Noble Medium, the
handsome and fat son of Happy Medium. This is a very
desirable mare, both on account of her breeding aud indivi-
duality.

Allena iB a very dark bay mare, 153 hand high, foaled in
1877; bred by Gen. "Withers. Her first dam was Belle God-
dard by Mambrino Chief; 2nd dam Woodford Belle by Mira-
beau, son of Medoc; 3rd dam said to be thoroughbred. Al-
lena is a highly finished mare. Her combination of blood is
the game that produced Allie West, Piedmont, Almont Eagle
and LeGrande, sire of the sensational Grandee. Metella,
bred in the same lines, an unbroken mare recently, sold for
§3,500. Allena is a regular breeder and is a very valuable
broodmare.

Almira is a full sister to Alburn (sire of Almont, 2:20, aud
others). Trouble (Bire of Lizzie 2d 2:24£, Trifle 2:29^ and
other wionere) and Ahamout 2:25|; dam Sue Ford by Brown
Chief, son of Mambrino Chief; 2nd dam by imp. Hoo^on (sire
of Lulu's dam, record 2:14=2); 3rd dam by Bertrand; 4th dam
by imp. Buzzard. Brown Chief's dam was by Downing's Bay
Messenger; 2nd dam by Hunt's Brown Highlander. Almira
is 16 hands high, and was foaled in 1873. She is bred this
year to Noble Medium, and a colt produced by this cross
should be v^ry valuable.

Balsoreen is a dark bay mare, 15& bands high, foaled in
1879; dam BaUorina by Balsora (son of Alexander's Abdallah;
2nd dam Lady "Woodfolk by Alcalde; 3rd dam by Ball's Ver-
mont; 4th dam Betty by Hunt's Commodore; oth dam Bet
Bounce, a fast trotting mare brought from Canada in 1836, by
Mr. David Castlsman. This is a remarkably fine individual
and an exceedingly well bred mare. She was this year bred
to Aberdeen.

Brightness is a chestnut maie 15f hands high, foaled in
1877. She is a very handsome and finely gated mare, and a
full sifter to the trottiDg stallion General Withers, for which
§5,000 was refused. Her two-year-old brother sold for $2,-
500 and her first foal Glitter has trotted several times better
than 2:30. She was bred this year to Aberdeen.

Crape Myrtle is a bay mare 15£ hands high, foaled in 1884
and is a full sister to Grandmont that made a record of 2:26J
in Italy under adverse circumstances. Her first dam is Ba-
donia by C. M. Clay Jr.; 2nd dam Puss Steadman by Alexan-
der's Norman; 3rd dam by Toronto (sires of dams of Aldine
2:19£ Lister 2:25, Mignon 2:27J, Good Morning 2:28 J and the
second dam of Monroe Chief 2:1SJ) son of Old St. Lawrence;
4th dam by imp. Champion. Crape Myrtle was bred this
year to Noble Medium.

Emblem, bay mare, 15i hands high, is a full sister to Al-
roy, sire of Alcalde 2:28$, Atlas 2:28|, Alas 2:40 at three
years old and other winners. Her fiiBt dam was Emma Kin-
kead by Conscript, full brother to American Clay; 2nd dam
Effie Deau by Mambrino Chief; 3rd dam by Powell's Ber-
trand, sire of Bertrand, son of Sir Archy. Emblem was foal
ed in 1881 and was this year bred to Noble Medium.

Etona is a bay mare, foaled in 1875, 15| hands high. Her
first dam was the grand dam of King Phillip 2:23^ and
dam of Rothschild, grand sire of Hunter 2:23£ and Charley
P. 2:25|, by Alexander's Edwin Forrest; 2nd dam by Down-
ing's Black Highlander, son of Croasader; 3rd dam by LaDce.
Etona is a very desirable mare, is very stout and highly fin-
ished, and an excellent broodmare. She was bred this year
to Aberdeen.

Francisca, bay mare, 154 hand high, was foaled June 14,
1881; dam France's Breckenridge by Sentinel (full brother
to Volunteer and sire of Von Arnim 2;19£, Vivaudiere 2:21$,
Annette 2:25£, T. A. 2:29, Young Sentinel 2:26, MignoD 2:26T,
Grand Sentinel 2:27^, and Capoul 2-28 He is also the grand
sire Consul 2:22i, Sir Knight 2:23|, Lelah H. 2:24£. and 14
more with records of 2:30 or better) son of Rysdyk's Hamble-
ian; 2ud dam by Byard (beat son of Pilot Jr ,) t-ire of Bli-s
2:21£, Emma B 2:22, FaDuy C 2:22£, Tillie J. 2:24*. Eagle
Plnme 2:29$, Modie H. 2:29jj; 3rd dam Luna, by Swigert's
Lexington, sire of the dam of Blaok Pilot, record 2:30. sire
of Pilot Knox 2:19i; 4th dani Esgless by imp Glencoe; 5th
dam grand dam Ansel 2:24 by Grey Fagle; 6th dam Mary
Morris by Medoc,, sire of the dam of John Morgan 2:24; 7th

dam Miss Obstinate by Sumpter. This mare a fnll sister to
Maxinius, one of the most promising young stall ous at Fair-
lawn, and her breeding iB of the very best. Colts by Maxi-
mns are trotting very fast, though as yet too young to train.

Ideal is gn y mare, \b\ hands high, was foaled in 18S0;
dam by C. M Clay Jr., (sire of Dnrango 2:23§, Hurry Clay
2:23$, American Clay, eto ; 2nd dpni Me-inas by Almont; 3rd
dam Miss Curry by Pilot Jr. This is as rich a pedigree as
will be found in the register. Ideal is a large strong mare
and splendidly gaited. She is bred to Alecto.

Lady Chile3 is a black mare, 16| hands high, foaled in 1874;
dam Lady Rothschild (clam of King Phillip 2:26], sire of Lex-
ington 2:24£) Mambrino Patchen; 2nd dam (dam of Roths-
child, grandsire of Hunter 2:23} by Alexander's E;win Foi-
rest; .rd dam Black Highlander; 4th dam by Lince, son
of a American Eclipe. Lady Chiles is a regular breedc, and
U bred to Maximus. She is one of the best brojdmares at
Fairlawn.

Medura 1b a gTey mare, foaled in 1870, 15A hands high; her
dam is Lady Curry by Pilot Jr. She is the dam of Sinbnd
2:34]. She is a mare of Splendid dotting action and a regular
breeder.

Aleria is a grand young mare in every particular, 15J
hands high, was foaled in 1882. Her first dam is (Jon nty
Girl by County Gentleman; 2nd dam the dam of Joe Hooker
(sire of Bushwhacker 2:28} and Maud Mac^y 2:28|) by Cana-
da Chief (sire ;of the dams of Blanche 2:25]. Coaster 2:27J
and Governor 2:30) by Davy Crockett; 3rd dam by Plow Boy",
a fast pacer and trotter. Aleria would make a very faBt mare
if trained. She is perfectly gentle, very handsome, has best
ot legB »nd a morel mare in every rtSfect. She is standard
under Rule 8. She was bred this year to Aberdeen.

Glorietta is a dark bay mare, 15| hands high, foaled in
1877; dam Bettie Stone by Spaulding's Abdallah (Bettie
Stone had a record of 2:52 at four years of age); 2d dam by
Whitehall (sire of Rhode Island, record 2:23i). Rhode Is-
land sired Jim Schriber 2:21£: Governor Sprague 5 year-ol*t
record 2:20£, sire if seventeen in the 2:30 list. W'hi'ehsll
is also the eraudsire of Scott's Thomas 2:21, Srott's Cbief
2 £.0, and Nelly Holcomb 2:28) by North American. This
mare has tine size, and is a typical Almont in gait and con-
fo'mation.

I ha*e omit'ed to say much that truly may be said in
praise of these mares They were selected by one of the
most astute breeders, as the best individuals by bis favoriie
horse. There are none among them bnt first-class brood-
maies, and some of them are worth a prince's ransom. The
breeder who gets bis selection from this lot will be fortunate.
Yours, Carter,

Axtell.

C "W. Williams, who ownes Axtell, 2:14, and Allerton,
2:18£, both records made this year as three-year-olds, says
that Axtell will stand at §1,000 next year, limited t) thirty
mares, and that Allerton's fee will be $500. He also says
that an offer of $5,000 each for ten services to Axtell next
year, with uo privilege of return in case they were not got
with foal, was refused. The offer came from Kentucky, and
men who have had a great deal of experience in the business
of handling stallionB are of the opinion that to refuse it was
not a wise move. For all that Mr. Williams knows, Axtell
may not get trotters, and if such should be the case, about
three years from now will see him standing at a considerably
smaller fee than $1,000. When it is remembered that $500
is the highest fee ever charged iu this country for the services
of a trotting stallion, it will be seen that Mr. Williams is tak-
ing rather advanced ground regarding the merits of his young
horses as sires. While it is true that as three-year-old trot-
ters their equal has never been seen, it is also a fact that when
it comes to stud service they will, in a very few years after
entering the breeding ranks, be measured wholly by what
their produce can do, and no fast record will bring mares to
a stallion that does not get trotters. This was proved beyond
doubt in the case of Smuggler. His record of 2:15} was the
best for seven long years, and yet before that time had passed
he was condemned as a sire, and was Bold at auction while
yet in his prime for $1,000, a slight reduction from the
$40,000 paid for him only a few years previous. His ex-
owner has since paid $16,000 for the trotting-bred stallion
Edgemark, three-year-old record 2:21, and thinks so well Of
him as a Bire that he has not permitted him to be trotted thiB
season as a four-year-old. "Williams, who owns Axtell and
Allerton, is a quiet young fellow, but his knowledge of young
trotters and how to handle them is simply marvelous in a
man who has had no previous experience at the business. He
is also a crack driver, being one of the few who are born with
the faculty of getting speed from horses, and in addition to
this he is as cool-headed as the oldest man in the business.
His driving of Allerton in the third heat of his second race at
the breeders' meeting last week, when in order to beat Bass-
inger Boy he was forced to do the mile iu 2:18], was worthy
of Bndd Doble, and even the old heads at the business are
beginning to admit that he is a genius as a horseman. —

Col. K. P. Pepper, South Elkhorn Stud, certainly made a
most profitable investment last winter when he purchased of
Senator Leland Stanford, Palo Alto Stud, the bay stallion
Norval, paying for him $15,000. After being brought lo
Kentucky he was at once placed in the stud, and here has
shown in a marked degree his merits as a trotter, as last
season he covered no less the 93 mares. After performing
this heavy duty, he was placed in training, and at Maysvilie
last week he won the 3:00 class, getting a record of 2:21$, a
mark which he lowered last Saturday, when he went a mile
in 2:19j. Norval is now seven-years-old and what is there
then that cannot be expected of him, taking into considera-
tion his powers as a trotter, his most fashionable blojd lints
and the fact that he also has the credit of having sired Noi-
laine, who holds the world's best yearling record 2:3U, whose
phenominal career was ended only a few months after her
remarkable performance, by being burned op in a tire which
wrecked several of Palo Alto's fixe structures.

Norlaine was sired when Norval was only three-years old,
truly a moat remarkable BhowiDg for a stallion, :md one
which must alone place him high in the es'imatioo
ers. With the addition of Norval, Electioneer no^
teen Cutters in the 2:20 list, which is a greater
these star performers than is now to the credit
iion either living or dead.— Live Stock Re;~r

The San Jose Meeting.

A telegram from the secretary of the San Mateo and
Santa Clara County Association, informs us that the
purses have all filled well, except No. 3 and 13. The
Directors have decided to offer special inducements to
the pacing classes instead, and propose the following:

In place of number 3 they offer a purse of $600 for the
following named horses; Belle Button, Racquet,
Frank, Little Hope, Long worth, Creole, Chapman and
Edwin C.

In place of number 13, they offer $800 for the follow-
ing: Gold Leaf, Adonis, Almont Patchen and Yolo Maid

The entries to those specials, close on Saturday, Sep-
tember 21st. The association has been so liberal in its
offer to the pacers that there can be no question as to
the result. The "side wheelers" will be at S<*n Jose in
their might.as usual the chances are that they will bejthe
great betting races of the meeting. This will especially
so if Almont Patchen is considered well enough to start,
as the fact of hitu being owned in the Garden City, is
enough to warrant more than the usual amount of inter-
est being manifested there.

An opportunity to retain in a permanent form the
striking pictures which form our cover and are interspersed
all through this issue is afforded by Messrs. Schussler
Bros., 27 Grant Av. Acquainted, as they are, with the
requirements of horsemen in the way of obtaining life-like
and characteristic horse pictures, suitably framed, and at
low rates, they should meet with the success their enter-
prise so richly deserves.

The history of the State Agricultural Society of California has
been made clear for enduring form by Mr. I. N. Hoag, who
filled the position of Secretary of the Society for years with hon-
orable distinction as to competency and worth. The origin of
the State Agricultural Society is among the enigmatical problems
of the Pioneer period. To exactly solve it, is not among the
exact ascertainments of the generation. There are claimants
to the distinguishment of broaching the idea, and of these are
some whose claims cannot be intelligently disregarded. It is
enough to consider that men of thought, far apart in locality, and
with no acquaintance or means of communication, think and
work out their plans to a common object, to the ultimate good
of the commonwealth. In this liberal view should be embraced
the respective claimants to the idea that in the Golden State
there ought to be inaugurated a State Agricultural Fair, for an-
nual holding, to exhibit to the world the luxuriance of the prod-
ucts of California, in addition to her marvelous wealth of the
whole world's precious metals, ores and minerals.

The California of half a century ago was virtually a terra in-
cognita. Only to the very few adventurers who explored the
world in the spirit of Marco Polo, Mungo Park and Humboldt,
was there comprehensive knowledge of the coast from the Gulf
of California to the noted marine headlands of the vast territory
then known as Oregon. The Catholic missionaries from Spain
and Mexico had planted their several Missions along the coast
in the loveliest valleys of the contiguous ocean region. They
cultivated the soil in the primitive methods practiced before the
invention and introduction of deep sub-soil plows, cultivators,
mowers, threshers and separators, run by steam, to perform the
work of the harvesting of broad fields in a few days, which, un-
til these inventions, had required the laborious toil of gangs of
men at sowing by hand in the tilling, in the mowing and reap-
ing by sickle, scythe and cradle.

It is since the discovery of the unparalleled gold mines of Cal-
ifornia, that the whole world has been in conspicuous measure
regenerated. The most stupendous wars of all time have been
fought since then, in Europe and in America. The Crimean
campaign was the initiative. It has been succeeded and sur-
passed by the wars of Germany and France, and Austria and
Italy, and these in turn, by the mightier conflict of France and
Germany, greater than that which had its conclusion on the
field of Waterloo, and eclipsed only by the tremendous struggle
of the civil war which sealed the fate of slavery in our own and
ever}' other enlightened land.

It is a fit claim, in view of the long past and the lustrous fu-
ture, that California is the pivotal country of the world, made
so by American conquest and purchase, by American possession
and American enterprise. The flowing gold of California reviv-
ified the energies of the older states, and was as new and bound-
ing blood infused into the arteries of the wasting continents of
Europe and Asia. It rejuvenated the commerce of the world.
Every sea was plowed by the vessels of every class which had
California — the land of gold — as their destination. California
came into the possession of the United States as a desired acqui-
sition upon the Pacific Coast, so that the confines of the Repub-
lic should be bounded and circumscribed only by the two great-
est oceans, and instantly she soared to the proudest distinction
— that of the commanding factor of the treasury of the world.
Her ceasless flow of gold lubricated the wheels of Commerce and
supplied the coffers of Finance. The discovery of gold was to
traffic, enterprise and genius, as the finding of the fabled stone
of the philosopher.

California furnished the occasion to the greatest enterprise of
the world — the construction of a railroad to span a continent.
The daring, the sagacity, and the boundless energy of four of
California's citizens, made the iron rail highway from the At-
lantic to the Pacific an accomplished work.

Months of fatiguing and perilous traffic were reduced to the
transit of as many days in comfort and in safety.

The colossal works of the Ptolemies at Karnac, of the famous
of Athens, of the line of Csesars at Rome were astounding ; yet
they were in measure only local. The Chinese wall was an in-
hibition to the empire. The Overland railroad was a facility to
all the world, the pathway to the greater Empire of the West,
in the prophecy of Bishop Berkeley, to which the star of human
enterprise pointed the way, and where the culmination of world-
ly grandeur would hold enduring seat.

The California of the venerated Father Junipero, whose mem-
ory is cherished for his noble, pious works, had type in the
Babe of Bethlehem, in the spread of light and glory. Chris-
tianity spread from that sacred spot to illuminate the world.
From California have extended and expanded the energies which
move mankind, to better, enlighten, and to enrich it, to invigor-
ate it, and to make more comfortable the homes and lives of
incalculable millions. The alchemists who honestly strived, or
who as imposters contrived to win the showers of . fortune and
enrich others besides themselves in the ages which have gone,
are now as neglected cairns on the abandoned pathways of the
curious. The greater power of the true metal digged from the
soil of California in its original condition, has created events
to surpass fables. Sidon and Tyre are as mythical traditions.
Never will an Alexander sweep California from her supremacy.
The future of San Francisco and the other prominent marts of
this Pacific Coast is as permanently anchored as is the destiny
of London, as is that of Rome, sole mistress of all the centuries
since which history began, and the imperial city whose pride
and state have survived that of Athens and of every city of
greatest antiquity. The Herodotus and Macaulay, and the Ban-
croft of the coming ages will inscribe San Francisco as the
mightiest emporium of the American continent upon the Paci-
fic Coast, in finance, in commerce, in manufactures, in indus-
tries, in enterprise, and in all the varied works by which emi-
nence is attained, and wealth is accumulated. California will
rank paramount in agriculture, in mineral richness, and other
natural qualities, and her people will be to the front in great-
est enterprises. The lessons of the experience of past centur-
ies from the examples of the dwellers of the Pacific Coast will
endure and grow.

When California became a portion of the territory of the
United States, it was the belief of American statesmen that the
country was invaluable except in possessory rights and coast de-
fence. So great a statesman as Daniel Webster declared that
California was a desert land, valuable only for coast possession.
Calhoun held similar opinion ; Benton described it as a wilder-
ness beyond redemption ; Fremont wrote that the soil was arid
and untillable, and declared that the honey bee could not exist
west of the Rocky Mountains. Commodore Stockton and Gen-
eral Kearny contributed authority to these ideas. Besides
John A. Sutler, Abel Stearns and John Bid well, early emigrants,
there were none to contend against these adverse opinions.
Each of these pioneers had located, experimented, and proved
the soil of California to be favored beyond comparison with that
of the countries and the states in which they each were bred.
Sutter was a Swiss, and had emigrated to the United States
in the early years of manhood. Fie founded the New Helvetia
upon the Pacific Coast. It is now embraced in the bounds of
the city of Sacramento. He located his Stock farm in Sacra-

mento Valley, on the Feather river, below the site of what is
now Marysville, and there proved that the grape had congenial
soil in interior California, as the Mission Fathers had proved
that it had upon the Coast. The readers of Horace will recall
that he held to the idea that the air of the Mediterranean refined
the wine, and on his Sabine farm he sought to demonstrate his
fancy.

The centuries have rolled, and California has emerged as
the solvent of the various quantities. In gold, she has surpass-
ed the world. In agriculture, California has no equal. In en-
terprise and progress, she holds commanding position. Cali-
fornia in definitive sense implies the land of warmth — the hot
land. Heat is the motive of power. Power rules the world.
The corollary is beyond question, and the suggestive conclu-
sion is that California is the exemplar State of the Pacific, as
Massachusetts is of New England, with San Francisco as the
counterpart of New York, in controlling degrees of finance, com-
merce and grandeur.

In the early years of the acquisition of California by the Uni-
ted States, immediately following the discovery of the mines of
gold, the emigration from the States and from all the habitable
world was intent only upon the gold. Thought of residence
upon the coast was not indulged. It was to dig the coveted
"pile," and depart. To rush to the mines was the paramount
impulse. San Francisco, as the port of landing by sea, Sacra-
mento and Stockton as the end of the weary journey by the
Plains, were the entrepots of the crowding immigration. The
lust for gold was the absorbing inspiration. No one thought
of agriculture. The idea of a home in California was not enter-
tained. One year, two years, three years, at the utmost, was
the limit of staying. To make a home in California was as mak-
ing a home in Kamchatka or in unexplored Africa. To dig out
the gold, and return to the home across the continent, was the
prevalent idea. That California was rich in gold, of no account
in agriculture, were the prevailing notions. It continued to be
so until 1853.

The gold seekers who came to California in the early years of
the gold-hunting process were mainly from the Atlantic side, and
the greater proportion of them were neither farmers nor the sons
of farmers. They came by the long voyage of Cape Horn, or
by the Isthmusroutes of Panama and Nicaragua. Besides these
were the many who journeyed from the States, overland across
the Plains. These brought with them American horses and
cattle. These, and the bands of like animals brought by
the earlier similar immigration into Oregon, constituted the
stock of American horses and cattle on the Coast of the
Pacific.

Naturally seeking fields and opportunities for agricultural
pursuits, to which they had been bred, these immigrants fiom
the States of the West sought the accustomed industry and
made locations. They discovered that the California depicted
by Fremont, and others who represented the land in the same
strain, was not the actual California, as to soil and production.
They settled upon the parched andcrevissed broad plains of the
Sacramento and the San Joaquin, and found that cereal crops
could be cultivated to an abundance beyond the most fertile of
the lands in the States from which they had emigrated. - A few
planted orchards, and were themselves surprised at the luxuriant
productiveness.

Until 1S53 California had depended upon the States of the
Atlantic for'her bread stuffs, for her lumber, for her staples in
the lines of provisions, Chile was also an important exporting
country for wheat and flour : potatoes and yams came from the
Sandwich Islands, and commanded extraordinary prices. Flour
sold as high as $40 per barrel — Haxall and Gallego from Rich '
mond, Virginia, from Akron, Ohio, and from Rochester, New
York. In 1854 in the markets of San Francisco, fruits — apples
and oranges, grapes and lemons, and limes —brought prices
which would now seem fabulous. California was regarded only
as the land of gold ; not of soil products. Everything to eat
and to wear, to satisfy luxury and pander to extravagance,
came from other quarters of the globe.

In 1854 the proofs of the abundant productiveness of Cali-
fornia had become beyond doubt and contention. Then orig-
inated the germ of the movement which led to the organization
of the State Agricultural Society. A few of the most enterpris-
ing citizens of the very few of the counties in which farming was
prosecuted wrought the movement to its culmination in the
Legislature of that year, which is the foundation of the presei.t
noble institution of California of the State corporate title. Cali-
fornia was still a mining State. The "cow counties" — as the
farming counties of Santa Clara, Sonoma, Contra Costa, San
Joaquin and Sacramento were called — were in minority in the
representation in the Legislature. The mining counties main-
tained preponderance. There were conflicting interests and
sharp antagonisms between the miners, who were many, and the
farmers, who were comparatively few. But good sense and wise
judgment at length prevailed. "The bill to incorporate and es-
tablish a State Agricultural Society was introduced in the pop-
ular branch of the Legislature — the Assembly — sitting in Bene-
cia, and was passed in the Senate of 32(thirty-two)members. It
was concurred in with only 8 (eight) negative votes. The vote
in the Assembly was nearly unanimous. That was the
origin of the present prosperous California State Agricultur-
al Society, at the annual Fairs of which the world is every year
more amazed and more delighted with the variety and the lux-
uriance of the products and the enterprise of this peerless Gold-
en State — wealthier in her soil and other possessions than in her
early surpassing mines of Gold. The thousands of millions
digged from her mines have been distributed to ever)' quarter
of the globe. The famed countries of antiquity concentrated
and stored their wealth, drawn by commerce and traffic. Cal-
ifornia scattered her gold in boundless profusion, and expanded
every arm of finance, trade and productiveness. The volume
has returned to her in manifold proportions. California has ad-
vanced to leading rank in finance, and commerce, and agricul-
tural production, conspicuous among the States of the Union,
and is rapidly gaining in population The State holds the keys
to the traffic of the Pacific Islands, of Japan and Australasia, of
China and the Indies. Instead «if importer, California has be-
come the exporter, the producer and favored distributer of gold
and breadstuff's and of merchandise to all the nations of the
world.

The institution of the California State Agricultural Society
has had much to do in the progression to this most gratifying
and unexampled condition of State prosperity. It is remarked
in the opening paragraph of this paper, that the origin of the
State Agricultural Society is enigmatical. It will be more ap-
propriate to say that the tracing is not clear. Mr. Hoag has
not finished it, and this is cause for the belief that it cannot be
distinctly given. The material fact is that the Society ex'sts, and
is every year growing into greater favor, into broader usefulness,
and commanding interest throughout the land.

Some idea of the incertitude of the projectors, coupled with
the uncertainty of location of the State Capital, may be deriv-
ed from the early history of the Society and the holding of the
Annual Fairs. The first constitutional convention of California
was held at the capital of the Mexican regime — at Monterey.
The first Legislature convened under the State Constitution was

a

held at San Jose, 1849-50, and there also was the next annual
legislature of i$50-'5i. At that session Vallejo was fixed upon
as the State Capital. At that time the place designated had not
a human habitation on its site. It was a grassy, beautiful
knoll, and a pretty slope upon San Pablo Bay, with Mare Island —
then unoccupied — across the narrow waters which lead to Napa
creek, or river. Notwithstanding the desert condition of the
site, the State Capital was voted there from San Jose, the build-
ing of a State House and other essential structures was pushed
with commensurate activity, and in January, 1S52, the Legisla-
ture convened in the barely finished buildings. They were insuf-
ficient, and the Legislature removed to Sacramento, where it
sat the session through. In 1853 it sat in Benicia, and from
there the removal was made again to Sacramento in 1854 — since
then the permanent State Capital.

In view of the changes made in the location of the State Cap-
ital, it would be too much to expect that the permanency of the
Annual Fairs of the State Agricultural Society should have
been determined at that early period. Legislatures are com-
posed of men. Men are mortals ; there were rival and aspir-
ing cities of California contending for the distinction of the
capital city, of the place of the State Fair. Sacramento,
Renicia, San Jose, Stockton and Marysville alike strove for the
coveted honor. The State Capital had been likened unto a
circus ; how could the State Fair expect any better treatment?
Votes were needed in the legislature to have the bill passed;
Senators and As'imblymen were not unmindful of local and per-
sonal considerations There was " log-rolling." Mining rights
and water privileges in mining ditches dominated the State, until
the calm, cool judgment of Mr. Justice Field, of the State Su-
preme Court was declared, which gave full rights to all, as to
lands and waters, to miners and to farmers. The judgment
satisfied the conflicting interests. Since, there has been no
controversy. The riparian rights of parties have been definitely
determined.

The first State Agricultural Society was organized under the
Act of 1S54, by charter. Fred A. Macondray, son of the pioneer
Captain Macondray of San Francisco, was President. As Vice
Presidents, were appointed E. L. Beard of Alameda, Julius K.
RoseofSan Francisco, D. W. C. Thompson of Sonoma, H. C.
Malone of Santa Clara, W. H. Thompson of San Francisco,
and C. T. Hutchinson of Sacramento. The Corresponding
Secretary was J. L. L. F. Warren of San Francisco ; the Record-
ing Secretary C. V. Gillespie, of San FranciBco, and the Treas-
urer was David Chambers of San Francisco.

Mention is not inappropriate to these gentlemen. Fred A.
Macondray was the son of the pioneer and brave old Captain Ma-
condray, who founded his business place in the early San Fran-
cisco on the site now occupied as California, Sansome and Pine
Streets. The Bay washed their shores in 1849 ; the sand dunes
of Happy Valley were troublous from the afternoon's prevailing
winds. Julius K. Rose was an aspiring young lawyer. There
came to him a man of powerful physique and mighty brain. He
asked employment as a menial. It was his spirit. He was
Lockwood, the great lawyer, who had been the partner of Van
Voorhies, first Secretary of State, and Edmond Randolph.
Judge Chambers was of the firm of Page, Bacon & Co., a gen-
tleman of worth. C. V. Gillespie was a resident of San Fran-
cisco, until his decease a few weeks since.

The first Fair of the State Agricultural Society was held in
San,Francisco. The novelty attracted the multitude. It was in
capacious hall, in a frame building, just beyond the business por-
tion of the San Francisco of that period There were products
unexpected, a profusion of Flora's realm, queer exhibits. There
were beautiful and stylish ladies, captivating maidens, and at-
tractive, stately dames. Dollars were then the limit ; not dimes
the low token ; the nickel was an unknown quantity. There
was no exhibition of live stock of any kind. The curious things
sent from the Mission of Santa Barbara, relics of the Indian
woman who had lived alone on the Santa Catalina Island for
eighteen years, and was at length brought to the main land by the
veteran trapper, George Nidiver, were the chief objects of inter-
est. California had not yet become important as a producing
State, except in gold, and in the arts and mechanics she was in
embryo transition. At Musical Hall were exhibited the proud
showing for the period of cereals, fruits, vegetables and flowers.
At the Mission Dolores, horses and cattle were exhibited. The
award of premiums aggregated nearly $5,000. It seemed small
for the Golden State, but it was the plant of a grand future, and
gave stimulus to the activities of the people in every department
and every branch of industry, invention and enterprise.

The following year the State Fair was held at Sacramento,
the first which was held in that city. C. I. Hutchinson, a
prominent and energetic citizen, was chosen President of the
Society. W. W. Stow, of Smta Cruz, then come to the front
as a leading citizen of the State, Speaker of the Assembly, was
made first Vice President. With him were elected the veteran
Gen. John A. Sutter, Sherman Day, conspicuous as Surveyor
General of the State, Col. James Allen, a leading editor of Ma-
rysville and State Printer, and A. P. Smith, the pioneer horticul-
turist of Sacramento. Rev. O. C. Wheeler, a pioneer clergyman
and a gentleman of much activity and recognized ability, was
made Recording Secretary ; Col. Warren, editor of the earliest
agricultural weekly newspaper, was the Corresponding Secretary,
and Angus Frierson, a popular citizen of Sacramento was chosen
Treasurer.

It was in the preparatory movement for that State Fair that,
the Society pushed the good design to permanent establishment.
A Convention was called to meet at Sacramento. Prominent
citizens attended from the agricultural counties, and the mining
counties were fairly represented. Among these were ex-Gover-
nor John McDougal, Senator Wilson Flint and Judge Crocker of
San Francisco, Secretary of State David F. Douglass of San Joa-
quin, Judge C. T. Ryland of San Jose, and Selim E. Woodworth,
a noted pioneer of the period, belonging to the U. S. Navy. It
was at that Convention that ex-Governor McDougal, adhering
to his gubernatorial recommendation to the State Legislature in
1851, reiterated the policy of inviting and employing the cheap
labor of the Chinese in tilling the fields of California.

The State Fair of 1S55 was the Second Annual Fair of the
Society. It was held in Sacramento, September 25th, and con-
tinued one week. The agricultural exhibition was held in the
improvised State House of the time — the County Court House
corner of I and Seventh streets, and the cattle show— an indiffer-
entattraction — at the Louisiana race track, in the suburbs. Pres-
ident Hutchinson made the opening speech ; Henry S. Foote,
ex-Governor and ex-United States Senator of Mississippi, deliv-
ered the annual address. It was eminently appropriate and el-
oquent. The Fair was successful beyond anticipation. The
premiums awarded amounted to over $6,500. Sacramento was
chosen for the next annual Fair of 1S56. Colonel Baird of old
Santa Clara Mission, a man of uncommon energy and masterly
ability, was elected President. Mayor C. K. Garrison of San
Francisco, Major Samuel J. Hensley of Santa Clara, Col. W. W
Gift of Contra Costa, J. C. Yount, the old pioneer of Napa,
General Sutter again, George A. Beach, the foremost peach
orchardist and grape grower of Yuba, and S. H. Meyers of Ala-
meda, were made Vice Presidents ; Rev. Eli Corwin, a noted
clergyman of surpassing pulpit eloquence, located in San Jose,

the Recording Secretary, C. T. Hutchinson of Sacramento,
Corresponding Secretary, and L. H. Bascom, a pioneer of the
early period from Kentucky, resident of Santa Clara, was Treas-
urer, Judge Crockett of San Francisco, made the annual ad-
dress.

In his opening address, President Baird gave lucid statement
of the very encouraging advancement in agriculture of the State.
From the supposed condition of barrenness, the great plains of
the Sacramento and the San Joaquin were developing extraor-
dinary productiveness, and the foothills of the mining counties
showing a luxuriance and excellence of fruits beyond expecta-
tion. California was no more a State of gold production alone.
She had convincingly demonstrated her superior capacity as an
agricultural State, and that her paramount and enduring wealth
rested inexhaustibly in her soil. Instead of drawing her sup-
plies from the Atlantic States and from the ports of the world,
in time California would become the greatest exporting State
of the Union, in the staples which enrich commonwealths, and
command commerce to the fulfillment of substantial financial
prosperity.

The ambitious rivalry of competing cities came into ac'.ive
play, agreeably as the Annual State Fairs attracted popular at-
tention. San Francisco was not a competitor. San Jose,
Stockton and Marysville alike contended for the distinguish-
ment of the location, and the struggle was inimical to Sacramen-
to, yet barely hopeful of the possession of the State Capital, al-
though not assured of it by fixed enactment.

The pull was beyond the influence of Sacramento. For the
State Fair of 1S57, Stockton bore away the coveted honor.
Captain Charles M. Weber, the founder of Stockton, and con-
spicuous among the early pioneers, was chosen President of the
Society. General Sutter was again made a Vice President. With
him were associated Major Pearson B. Reading of Shasta, the
Whig candidate for Governor in 1851. Messrs. Wm. Daniels of
Santa Clara, Wm. Garrard of San Joaquin, W. B. Osborn of Los
Angeles, H. D. McCarthy of Calaveras, and S. H. Meyers.
George H. Sanderson of San Joaquin was chosen Secretary, and
A. Wolf of the same county, Treasurer. Captain Weber early
resigned theP residency of the Society, and William Garrard was
elected tothe position. E. S. Holden was chosen a Vice Pres-
ident, and Captain Edward P. Connor was made Treasurer in
place of Wolf, resigned

The Fair opened on Tuesday, and continued only four days.
It was a very encouraging exhibition. Judge Henry Eno of
Mokelumne Hill delivered the Annual Address. He had been
the Whig candidate for Lieutenant Governor against Samuel
Purdy, and was defeated. The exhibit of fine horses and cattle
exceeded that of any previous Fair of the Society. The awards
of premiums aggregated nearly $8,000, and the Fair was consid-
ered in veiy favorable light as to promise for the future. The
original appropriation, voted by the Legislature of 1854, had
however, been exhausted, and unless the Legislature of 1858
should make a further appropriation, the State Fairs could not
be successfully maintained. The Legislature was liberal, and
voted an appropriation for five years. Important amendments
were made to the original charter of the Society. The Fair of
185S was appointed at Marysville. John C. Fall, trading mer-
chant and capitalist of the city, was made President ; John C.
Bidwell, the early pioneer and founder of Chico, was made one of
the Vice Presidents ; associated with him were Dr. C.M.Hitchcock
of San Francisco, G. N. Sweezy of Yuba, G. C. Yount of Napa,
Horace W. Carpentier of Alameda, Don Jose. M. Covarrubias of
Santa Barbara, and D. L. Morley of the new county of Stanislaus.
Rev. O. C. Wheeler was made Corresponding Secretary, G. A.
Beach of Yuba, Recording Secretary ; and John A. Paxton,
banker, of Marysville, Treasurer.

The Fair opened at Marysville, Monday, Aug. 20th, 185S, and
continued through the whole week. It was the finest exhibition
of the kind ever held in the State. A capacious and handsome
Pavilion had been constructed expressly for the purpose. The
attendance from every part of the State was greater than at any
preceding Fair. The exhibition of cereals, of fruits, of products
of every kind, was notably superior. Fremont had asserted that
the honey bee could not exist in California. At that State Fair
in Marysville was exhibited choice honey, the product of Cali-
fornia, from stands of bees brought from the East, which sold
at from §200 to $400 the stand. Buck of Santa Clara was the
adventurous introducer of the enterprise. Others soon followed
in his line, and California has become famous alike for the mag-
nitude of the honey product and its super-excellence.

The Annual Fair of 1858 at Marysville was the satisfying
demonstration of the wisdom of the Legislature in making the
necessary appropriation for the yearly exhibition. Mr. Fall, in
his opening address, was commendably lucid and practical. He
reviewed the condition, the progress, and the prodigious ener-
gies of the people, and in clear prescience of the future presen-
ted the greater destiny of California and of the entire Pacific
coast in American occupation. Rev. Sam B. Bell of Oakland,
distinguished for his oratory, delivered the Annual Address.

There was, nevertheless, in this fifth Annual Fair a percep-
tible void — an important and most essential lacking quality, to
assure to ensuing Fairs the complete measure of success which
similiar institutions had attained in the older States of the Un-
ion. The premium awards were below the totals of preceding
years. There was deficit instead of surplus — a need of substan-
tial profit. There was no speed programme.

The necessity for fixed location was made apparent. The
Annual State Fair of California could not be of perambulating
order and yearly uncertainty of place — dependent upon log-rol-
ling maneuvers and the adroitness or cupidity of legislators and
politicians. As with the State Capital, the State Fair should
be distinctively located, with permanance of location. The capi-
tal had changed from Monterey to San Jose, from San Jose to Val-
ejo, from Vallejo to Sacramento, from Sacramento to Benicia, and
at last from Benicia back to Sacramento. The advent of a recur-
ring flood, and the movement to make still another removal of the
capital, had once more imperilled Sacramento as the location,
and San Francisco and Oakland were suggested as the spots bet-
ter adapted. These projects or fancies failed. The facilities of rail-
roads, which practically overcame distance and central situation,
judged by travel, came in good time to relieve California from
the vexatious rivalry and uncertain establishment. " All roads
lead to Rome," was the ancient maxim. Every road of Cali-
fornia centres at Sacramento, is the practical fact of the day.
The State Capital is there ; the State Fair is there. Noble
structures and adaptable grounds are to each. There is no
longer any vexed question on either proposition. Sacramento
is, and Sacramento will endure to be, the capital city of Cali-
fornia, and at Sacramento shall permanently be held the Annual
Fair of the California Stale Agricultural Sociely.

In 1859 the determination to this wise purpose was the dis-
cussed sequence to the State Fair held at Marysville. No more
a traveling circus, but a rooted and established, great and peace-
ful institution of the State, which had conspicuously emerged to
wider fame than the fabled Ophir in the oldest centuries by her
unparalleled affluence of gold, that has since surpassed the Age
of Gold by the mightier triumphs of most progressive enlighten-
ment, by the superior wealth of perennial affluence of soil, to
blossom products into the needed commodities of all the world,

and by the unequalled energy and boundless enterprise of the
race, and the scionsof the adventurous pioneers who secured the
golden fleece, and founded this magnificent State of the grand-
est ocean; at the capital should the State Fair be.

Antiquity still supplies its valuable lessons. The Olympic
games were famous from their sports. Rome's Colosseum was
more renowned for its gladitorial scenes and chariot races, than
for the presence of heroes and of orators. The Annual State
Fair had lacked the important quantity ; the quality which more
than any other of objects delights the multitudes of spectators.
There were delighting and astonishing annual exhibits of products
of the soil, of mechanics, of the arts, of every field of industry
Patterson of Alameda and others showed their fine breeds of
sheep. Others made fine display of their breeds and grades of
cattle. There were also exhibits of swine and poultry, of
everything of the farm, of the orchard, of the field, and of house-
wifery.

There was one lacking quality. It was the quality para-
mount. The sports of the Turf were missing. A State Fair
without field or turf sports is as a feast with a Barmecide ban-
quet. Going through the motions is not gratification. Degluti-
tion requires the substantials and the lubrications.

National and State affairs contributed to the detrimental con-
ditions of the State Fairs in 1S59, in 1S60 and in 1S61 at Sacra-
mento. Acrimonious domestic political contentions existed
throughout California. Portentous throes agitated the whole
country 10 the East. Trouble and deep anxiety were in the air.
The culmination of the harassing struggle which was precipitat-
ed in 1861 and continued until 1S65, was in its predestined
course. California occupied a perturbed condition on the Pa-
cific, which more or less affected every element of her being and
her progress.

Sacramento was made the permanent location for the State
Fair only in September, i860. The Fair of 1859 was held
there. A Pavilion was provided, commensurate to the ordinary
exhibition, at the corner of M and Sixth Streets. The live stock
exhibition was made upon the suburbs, where it is still main-
tained, with the commensurate addition of a fine race track of
one mile, requisite racing stables and every convenience, stables,
stalls, and everything needed for the thorough accommodation
of everything that appertained to State Fairs, embracing racing
and performances peculiar to the turf.

W. H. Rhodes of Stockton — the " Claxton " of California —
delivered an original ode at the State Fair in 1859. Judge Ted
Robinson, eminent in the Bar and honored on the Bench of
California, made appropriate Address. Colonel E. D. Baker,
the " Gray Eagle " of the Facific, delivered a brilliant speech
in the evening. The success of the Fair of 1859 secured to Sac-
ramento in 1S60 the permanent location. A new charter was
passed. An amendment to the State Constitution was essential.
A vote of the people of the State declared that the Annual
State Fair must be held in Sacramento.

The first line of railroad constructed on the Pacific Coast was
the line of railroad from Sacramento to Brighton — thence to
Folsom. It was twenty miles in length — a great undertaking
for the period. A few years later four citizens of Sacramento
projected the stupendous work of uniting by rails the States of
the Atlantic and the mightier Pacific, and the great enterprise
was completed in less time than was employed in the construc-
tion of the twenty miles of road from Sacramento to Folsom.
Lester L. Robinson, James H. Robinson, Pioche, Bayerque &
Co.,Chas. McNulty, Colis P. Huntingdon, Thomas M. Findley,
and other prominent citizens of Sacramento and San Francisco,
were parties to the initial railroad enterprise.

The first meeting of the permanent State Fair Society at Sac-
ramento, in i860, is in some respects historical beyond any other.
The selection stirred antipathies, and local rivalries and exasper-
ating contentions marred the occasion. Timothy Guy Phelps
was made President. The Vice Presidents were selected from
the various judicial districts. The veteran pioneer and ex-State
Senator, the tall and sedate John J. Warner, was chosen from
San Diego ; handsome, chivalric and accomplished Pablo de la
Guerra, allied with the grand old Noriega line of Castile, Sen-
ator from Santa Barbara ; Nathan Coombs of Napa, Pearson B.
Reading of Shasta, A. J. Land, the big mining man of Nevada
county, R. P. Woodward, Dr. Wm. Rabe, the "Nil Desperan -
dum " of the early fires of 1850, 1851 and 1852 of San Francisco;
Cary Peebles, Y. T. Ryan, Charles Justice. S. S. Curtis, G. B.
Harris, Wm. Thompson, R, J. Walsh and George W. Coulter
of Mariposa were of the number. D. O. Mills, now a million-
aire, was Treasurer ; Rev. O. C. Wrheeler was Corresponding
Secretary ; Senator Wilson Flint, and T. Ogg Shaw, once a
manager of the Fremont Mariposa Mine, and P, J. Devine of
Sacramento, were assistant managers ; and N. A. D. Ball of Sac-
ramento, was Recording Secretary. President Phelps made a
good speech at the opening. Gen. John Bidwell of Chico de-
livered the Annual Address. It was carefully prepared, and of
great historic value. Gen. Bidwell had emigrated to California
in 1841, and thoroughly knew the country. He was not one of
the eager hunters of gold. He anchored his belief, as a young
man, in the undeveloped soil of the California of the Spanish
period, and in the American acquisition ; he had abiding faith in
that order of manifest destiny which inspires the adventurer to
advance, and upon the confines of his country to permanently
locate the home he had in his young manhood founded.

The State Fair of 1S59 was successful beyond that of preced-
ing years. Still, there was apparent the chief attractive quan-
tity. The diction of the humorist had unmistakably sounded
the keynote in the East, and the absolute demand of the people
was for the "pure agricultural horse trot." It meant that
Fairs should be interesting in the exhibition of the farm and
workshop, but that likewise must proper attention be devoted
to the sports of the Turf.

Enterprising men of the State had embarked in the bringing
of the best lines of imported and American live-stock to the
coast — of horses, cattle, sheep and swine. Theodore Winters,
Nathan Coombs, Jerome C. Davis, Robert Beck, R. J. Walsh,
Major S. J. Hensley, and others engaged in the important busi-
ness. John Welsh and John Anderson imported noted stock
from Kentucky for California and Oregon. Rifleman was among
the lot.

The time had come to impress upon the management of the
State Fairs that the Track must not be disregarded. In it was
the major attraction. It likewise produced the profits. The
most successful Fair was that of 1S62. Colonel Haraszthy of So-
noma was President. The Vice Presidents were Don Abel
Stearns of Los Angeles, Major Hensiey, Sam Brannan, Col.
Warren, Col. Holden, C. H. Liming, Judge Van Dyke, Step-
hen Card, A. Delano, Tom B. Shannon, I. B. Frisbie, S. N.
Sweezy, H. C. Stockton, R. J. Walsh, J. Vogan, and T. Davis,
with Col. Peter Donahue, C. S. Lowell and W. T. Knox as
additional managers. O. C. Wheeler was continued as Corres-
ponding Secretary. E. B. Ryan was made Recording Secre-
tary, and J. W. Hatch, Treasurer.

Leland Stanford was Governor of California. His home was
Sacramento. He greatly added to the success of the
first of the Fairs of most encouraging holdings. The
exhibition was superior to any ever held on the Pac:
The " Speed Programme,"' as the races were eupliLMiii

finely toned, morally described, was a succession of pleasing and
exciting events. Since 1S62, and the changed and more com-
formable management, with presidential attractions judiciously
provided, the State Fair has never retrograded, never failed of
good success. Henry F.. Highlon was the oralor of the Annual
Address. Tribute is not required to his eloquence.

The Fair and management of 1862 suggested important
amendments to the Act of Incorporation. The State Fairs had
been itinerant. The State Fair was now established as a perma-
nent institution oftheState. The situation was appreciated. The
Legislature of 1863 passed an act which authorized the belter
organization of the Society, with Sacramento as the location.
Judge Davis of Yolo was chosen President, James McClatchy,
G. R. Warren, C. H.-Graiame, Robert Beck, C. Holbrook and
N. L. Drew of Sacramento, Mike Bryte of Yolo, R. J. Walsh
of Colusa, and W. H. Parks were Yice Presidents. T. N. Hoag
was made Secretary, F. B. Ryan Treasurer, Frank Fargo was
Chief Marshal, and had as Aids Frank Denver, Drury Melone,
L. H. Foote, G. Haraszthy, G. Rowland, B. B. Lea and M. L.
McDonald. F. C. Stevens, Jerome C. Davis and E. M. Skaggs
were racing judges, Steve Whippel and Nathan Coombs the
timers. Prominent among the trotting drivers were John
Crooks, James EoiY, J, Daniels and Sam Hyatt.

Hyatt managed on the last day but one of the Fair to compel
the Society officers and official judges and timers from the
judges' stand. He also ordered from iheir allotted place the re-
porters. The purpose was a " fixed " match between the trot-
ters Jim Barton and Rainbow, each with a running mate— Shot
and Honest Ance. The action of Hyatt was vigorously denoun-
ced by Col. W. W. Gift upon the track, as a an unexampled
outrage, and it has never been repeated at any Stale Fair
Rev. Starr King made a ringing Annual Address at the Fair of
tS62. General Wright and staff attended, and the Fair was
conspicuously the most enjoyed of any that had been held in
the State. An incident occurred to mark the date and demon-
strate the temper of the times. A man appeared upon the track
offering for sale a $5 greenback — one of the earliest issue. He
offered to sell it for $4, for $3, for $2.50. Governor Leland
Stanford was in the judges' stand ; he heard the man as he was
bawling his offers on the tracks. He paid the fellow the face
value of the greenback and ceased his annoyance.

The larger atlendance and the interest shown at the Fair of
1S62 had good effect in 1863. Encouragement beyond previous
expectation wa s given. The legislature was moved to compliant
temper, and aiding m easures were passed. C. F. Reed of Yolo
was made President. I. N. Hoag was re-elected Secretary.
T. L. Chamberlain, J. J. Owen and J. H. Culver were chosen
Directors. But the absorbing trouble of the great Civil War
admonished the Society thai circumstance and time and pa-
tience had become controlling factors, and could not wisely be
disregarded.

The Annual Fair was held October, 1S64.. Rev. M. C Briggs,
a pioneer and eloquent Methodist clergyman, made the Annual
Address. It was singularly pertinent. In general aspects the
Fair of 1864 was gratifying. Still, there was an appreciated
lack of entertainment at the Exhibition Grounds. The Pavilion
in the city was nightly crowded, the Grand Stand was not dai-
ly filled.

The Fair of 1S65 wrought the revolution. C. F. Reed was
re-elected President ; Robert Beck, R. J. Walsh and A. G.
Richardson Directors. I. N. Hoag was" re-elected Secretary.
Edgar Mills, W. P. Coleman, John H. Carroll, C. T. Wheeler,
E. R. Crocker and A. H. Richardson of Sacramento, were add-
ed to the Board. Dr. John F. Morse was selected to make
the annual address. Hon. A. A. Sargent delivered an address
to the Industrial Classes. These were interesting incidents of
the Fair, but the paramount interest was centered in the great
race between Norfolk and Lodi, three mile heats, purse $1,-
000. The race was free for all, but only Norfolk and Lodi start-
ed. Norfolk was the property of Theodore Winters, still con-
spicuous as a breeder of racers. Lodi was owned by Judge
Charles H. Bryant, formerly an Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court of California, and an ex-State Senator from Yuba.
Norfolk won— time, first heat 5: 27% ; second heat 5:29%. In
the first heat the first mile was run in i: 4S ; second, 1:51%;
third, U47U 1 second heat, H47H '> *-50lA> I: 5i££- The
great race was run Saturday, September 23, 1S65, and the rec-
ord of Norfolk remains unbeaten. It was the most eventful
race of California, surpassing that of the Hudspeth horse and
Pico in 1S49, at San Jose, for $10,000, and the fame of Norfolk
was established. Lodi never again appeared upon the track.

Among the noted racers of the period were Victress and Beau-
regard, the property of Judge Moore of Santa Clara, P. O'Han-
lon, Marriott, Henry Walsh and Tisdale were prominent turf-
men. In the trotting field were Geo. M. Patchen, Capt. Han-
ford, Latham Mystery, Emigrant, Gen. McClellan, Baby Lewis.

In the free racing of earlier years in Sacramento, Wake-up-
Jake had beaten Boston Colt, in a two mile race, with big win-
nings, in 1855 ; but no racing event in the State had attracted
so general an interest as that of Norfolk and Lodi. Judge Bryant
was never again heard of upon the racing turf. Theodore
Winters is still in the front rank of breeders and honored.

The State Faitsof 1S62 and of 1S65 can be recorded as the
events which secured the firm establishment of the Society and
made its progress assured. In 1866 the Legislature made fur-
ther appropriations. C. F. Reed was re-elected President and I.
N. Hoag, Secretary. The Legislature had declined to make
appropriation for a California exhibit in the Paris Exposition
of 1867. The State Agricultural Society determined to make an
exhibit of California products. Wells, Fargo & Co., the Pacific
Mail S. S.Company, leading citizens of the State, contributed to
the project, and at the Paris Exposition California was honor-
ed with the distinction of the best exhibition of agricultural
products, mechanical inventions and industries, embracing
manufactures. In his fine address, ]. W. Winans, a pioneer
of high culture, grandly referred to the eminence which Cali-
fornia had attained in the round and complete s urn of proudest
Statehood.

The State Fair of 1687 was promising of good results. It
achieved beyond the promise. General |no. Bidwell made the
Annunl Address.

The Fair of 186S was still more gratifying ; the overland rail-
way giving California connection with the States eastward was
an accomplished fact. It was as the hitching of the team of
California, by which her energies should evermore largely pull
the world. Edward Tompkins, of Oakland, made an appropri-
ate address. The four citi/ens of California who had accom-
plished this most stupendous enterprise of any age, were not for-
gotten in the popular expression and general applause. These
men had shortened the overland route from months to days and
rendered the ocean routes by Cape Horn and the Isthmuses a
traffic subservient to surer, safer, swifter modes.

Since 186S there has never been doubt or hesitation as to the
success and the progress of the State Fairs. The succeeding
managements— nf R. S. Carey, of Marcus D. BorucU, of Marion
Biggs, of H. M. Larue, of Jesse I >. Carr, have ever since
wrought to the better advancement of the Stale Fair. The old
Pavilion of the city is of the past ; the capacious and befitting
structure within the Capitol grounds is the pride of California

The cattle grounds, the stables, the track appurtenances are be-
coming. The State Fair of California has risen to distinction
throughout the Union, and enjoys honorable mention in every
foreign land of enlightenment. The products of California go to
all the world, to fortify and vindicate the soil and the harvest.

In the fruition of her manifold attributes of superior accom-
plishment, California has become a land for the breeding of
man's domestic animals^-horses, cattle, sheep and swine.
There is unrestricted enterprise and ample wealth to the com-
plete ultimate fulfillment. Stanford and Haggin, Rose and
Baldwin, Corbett and Carr, and others, are to the attestation.
California emerged from comparative obscurity in 1848 by the
brightness of her gold. She has since gained conspicuous place
in the world of Finance and Commerce and Industries. Her
destiny is beyond the contemplation of the most optimistic.

The detailed record of the State Agricultural Society of later
years can b *tter be left to ampler space, and the chronicle of the
years which each year swell with the importance of names and
the definiteness of mention. The most distinguished names of
California adorn the the management and illuminate the roll of
the State Fair orators ; Senator Sargent, Morris M, Estee, Gen-
eral J. Hamilton, N, Greene Curtis, hold high places in the
brilliant constellation. The names of Fred Cox and John
Boggs, of H. M. La Rue and Jesse D. Carr, of James McM
Shafter and C. N. Chase, of H. W. Hancock and C, F. Swan,
of E. C. Singletary and L. U. Shippee, and of P. A Finigan
are now enrolled as Directors. Christopher Greene of Sacra-
mento is President, re-elected, term after term, on account of his
unquestioned ability and devoted attention to the duties of the
office ; Edwin F. Smith is continued as Secretary. The busi-
ness of the Fair is admirably managed, carefully conducted.

It is since the introduction of gooa and highly respectable rac-
ing at the State Fairs, that the prosperity of the Annual Exhibi-
tions has been assured. Agriculture embraces thorough hus-
bandry. There is the field as there is the farm. An Agricul-
tural Fair without live stock is as the Social Fair without the
fair. The youth who accounted his girl the next dearest creature
to his favorite horse has more examples than the girls would like
to think, and he who compared his sweetheart to a new buggy
with red wheels, bright with paint, is not alone. Competition in
speed is an American attribute, whether in man in getting ahead,
or in forcing every going thing with legs to get ahead.

Good racing has the approbation, and challenges the admira-
tion, of the most distinguished of the enlightened world, and the
best cultured of society. The Derby and Goodwood, the Ascot
and St. Leger, the Doncaster and the Oaks, are events to draw
the royalty of England, the nobility, and the world of fashion.
Paris is competing in her annual race meetings. Our own country
requires no bush. The race of winning Eclipse against Sir
Henry, more than half a century ago, the beating of the time of
Eclipse by the little New Jersey mare, the peerless Fashion of

her time, — outrunning Boston, the pride of the old Dominion and
the South ; next the unprecedented running of Kentucky's great
Lexington ; and since, the more wondrous performance of Long-
fellow, of Norfolk, of Katy Pease and Fellowcraft, and of match-
less Tenbroek, with the winning of the Derby by Iroquois, have
permanently and proudly established the supremacy of the Amer-
ican turf. California fairly contends with great Blue Grass Ken-
tucky—acknowledged as the favored region to the East in the
splendid emulation of the breeding of the fleetest.

The State Fairs have given impetus and encouragement, grat-
ification and pride, to every industry of California. They be-
gan when the State was waning in her gold product, and barely
making headway in the more lasting crops of breadstuff's. Cal-
ifornia was emancipated from the condition of a helpless con-
sumer of provisions, of materials, and of products of everything
except gold. She was the Golden State by entitlement of her
digged soil. It has since been digged to surpassing resources,
greater wealth, enduring importance. California sits as the Mis-
tress of the commerce of the broader Pacific, in conjunction
with the traffic of the Atlantic, diverted by the easier courses of
the soil.

The State Fairs of California have advertised the State in an
incomparable manner. Visitors from every part of Europe have
attested the integrity of the local description. The fruits of Cal-
ifornia constantly sold in the markets of the East, and the ma-
terial "proofs that, if all that glistens is not gold, the luscious
products of the State are not elsewhere equalled.

Excelling in cereals, in wines, in orchards, and first in mines,
where can be suggested the exceptional quality of California ?
First consideration of the question prompts— the live-stock of
California. It was Spanish and mixed, and therefore inferior as
to cattle, the same as horses. The process to improvement has
been described. The energy and disposition were in the State,
the wealth was the important quality. This had been supplied,
as the magnificent breeding farms of California attest. The
blood of the sires of turf winners in the East, in the State — of
breakers of racing records, approve the gratifying testimonials.
California is the State destined to the distinction of the most
favored in the breeding of the fleetest racers, the speediest trot-
ters, the best of cattle, of sheep and swine.

The Annual State Fairs have materially contributed to this
partial consummation. The managers of several years merit high
meed of praise. Secretary Hoag and Secretary Smith are espec-
ially worthy of praiseworthy mention. The Fair of this year
will surpass any of the past. The racing premiums are admirably
appointed and generous. The competition will be of high class
and good. Of the other exhibitions of the farm and household,
of mechanics and industries, of the useful ana the beautiful, Cali-
fornia is never neglectful. It is in the motto of " Excelsior ! "
that her people aspire, and in this they are willing to rest her
claim at the State Fair of 1SS9.

rACHTING.

Commodore Macdonough's New Yacht.

CaptainJ.M. Kelly, for many ye ira connected with the nota-
ble yacht-builder Capt. Matthew Turner of this ctty, kindly
furnishes the lines for the new schooner now being com-
pleted by Capt. Turner for Commodore J. MacDouough of
San Francisco Captain Turner has designed and built over
one hondred and forty vessels. An experience rarely

equalled, and as he is a student and a close observer, the

later models have embodied many improving changes. There gentleman. The notes by Captain Kelly are as follow :"

- n

is an individuality about Capt. Turner's work that readily en-
ables yachtmen to distinguish his boats from those of the
other locil builders; and it is only just to Capt. Kelly to note
that much of the peculiar grace and beauty of the Turner
yachts is due to the bold fancy of the Captain.

Lurline, owned by the Messrs. Spreckels, embodied the
latest theories of Captain Tomer up to the time she was
turned off the yard; and Commodore Gutte'e beautiful Chis-
pa. Colonel Mervyn Donahue's Nellie and the Consuelo all
own the Turner yard as Creator. Commodore MacDon-
ougb's new boat has the single stick keel adapted by Captain
Tomer, and mire overhang than former yachts built by that

The new schooner yacht numbered 140, in Captain M.
Turner's record of vessel built by him in California, is now
being built at his shipyard in Benicia, and when completed,
will be first class in every respect in speed, strength, beauty
and comfort.

The new schooner has many of the best features of the
famous pilot schooner yacht America, built by him last year,
with some very important improvements. Her dimensions
are:

Ft. In.

Length, extreme 86 8

Length of water line 75 1

Depth bottom of keel to deck ...A3 4

Depth of hold 9 ]o

Breadth at deck .'.'.'.". .24 7

Breadth on water line 22 8

Tonnage about 60 tons.

The materials used are selected of the very best. The keej
is of Oregon pine, 58 feet long, 24x24 inches, and fashioned
to conform to the model, making a portion of the body of the
vessel. The forward piece of keel (or riser) and the Btern
are of TamaDa wood, scarfed to the main keel, making a
graceful ourve from the stern post to the bowsprit. Unlike
all other vessels, the ootside lead ballast will be contained in
an iron keel two feet wide, composed of boiler iron plates,
one-half inch thick, rivetod to a two-inch edge bolted seonrely
on each side of the wood keel with vertical bolts through the
iron, lead and wooden ketl, to the top of the keelson.

The stern post is made of Tamana, 10x14 inches. The
rudder will be of iron, and the iron plates on the stern post
will be a part of tbe iron keel whioh will extend to above the
water line ou the stern, making a continuous piece over 80
feet long, and containing about 10 tons of lead.

The frame timbers in the bottom are of Oregon hard pine,
the top timbers of cedar with stanchions of the best locust
and other Snulh Sea Island woods, which, when finished
with the hard wood finish of skvlights, companionway and
d. ok trimmings, will have a beanlifnl effect. The cabin will
be all under deck, lini bed in elegint style, with Btaterooms,
salon and all modern improvements. The oabin will be

about 6J feet high, leaving a space below the eabio floor just
inside ballast.

The outside planking will be of Oregon pine. The deck
beams and deck will be of c?dar, and all materials used in
construction will be selected and of the best quality.

The Union Iron Works are building tbe iron keel, stem,
stern post and rudder.

Desirable Property Offered.

Messrs. C. H. Street & Co., 415 Montgomery street San
Francisco, through the advertising columns, make an offer
which should arrest the attention of every man who oontem-
P'a'f8 ,he purchase of California lands. When Mr. Frederio
Gebhard selected the property in Lske county whioh now
forms the Guenoc Stock Fa-m he was influenced by its ac-
cessibility, climatic excellence, good qualities of soil and wa-
ter and the rich natural grasses which carpeted all the ooun-
try Messrs. Street & Co. offer 4,000 acreB adjacent to the
Gebhard tract, and equally desirable. Patah Creak runs
through the land, and one hundred acres are already in al-
falfa. It is a most likely opening for a man with moderate
means. The firm also controls 20.000 acres of land in other
parts of the State, which are for sale

It was an "old maxim of the Jews that he that did not
teach his child some useful trade or occupation taught him
to steal. Sure it is the criminal classes are recruited from
the illiterate and idle. In this connection we call the
attention of our thoughtful readers to the announcement
of Heald's Busiuess College.

A graduating course of study in Heald's Business
College means something. It has no relation to a smat-
tering of bookkeeping and writing, but it stands for prepa-
ration for realities of life. It stands for attainments that
are available in the markets of the commercial world- it
stands for knowledge that makes the possessor a stronger
and more successful man and a more useful citizen.

ROD.

The smelt run very freely on Snnday last, but the rock-
cod did not at all seem inclined to bite.

Reports from the different fishing points around the bay
say that fishing during the early part of the week was very
poor.

In fishing for rock-cod where the tide runs strong, heavy
sinkers should be used, otherwise it is impossible to keep
the hooks at the bottom. At Tiburon, Lime Point, and
other places where the tide comes in and goes out with
a rush, sinkers not less than one and a half pounds should
be used.

In the lagoon, at Point Tiburon, some very large flounders
have recently been caught.

At certain times good perch fishing may be had from the
rocks at the end of the Alameda wharf.

A fishing party went out to the Farallone Islands on Ad-
mission Day, but the fishing was exceedingly poor, only
one or two large catches being made.

To-morrow the tides will be favorable, and the rock-cod
should bite freely.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphippua.

Sum mar v

In our columns will be found reports of the different
sporting events that took place during the past week.
From now until the end of the year the athletes, both
amateur and professional, will be kept pretty busy train-
ing for the different athletic events that are announced to
take place.

Runners, Walkers, Jumpers, etc.

The U. A. C. will hold a field-day in November. The
College record for the one mile walk, S min. 17 sec, will
possibly be lowered at this meeting by Fred C. Clift, of the
Law College.

When the new athletic grounds of the U. A. C. are
finished, the chances are that games of some kind or other
will be held out there about twice a month.

Both the Golden Gate and the Pacific Athletic Clubs will
be represented at the boxiug Loarnament of the California
Amateur Athletic Club. There will be no entrees from the
Olympic Club. The winners in the different classes will be
allowed to select either medals or jewelry prizes.

The Bay District track has lately been improved, and is
now in excellent condition for running and walking.

One of the athletic chibs should lease Central Park, cor.
of Sth and Market streets, and turn it into athletic grounds.
The location is very central, and a more suitable place for
holding games conld not be found.

The Olympic Athletic Club will not be represented at the
American championship meeting this year.

We would like to see that very promising young heel
and toe walker, J. J. Theobald, of the O. A C, appear on
the track once more. Now that Coffin has retired Theo-
bald should go into training again.

The O. A. C. should include on its Thanksgiving Day
programme a one-mile walk for novices. Such an event
would certainly bring out several good men that are too
modest to compete against such walkers as Jarvis, Coffin
or Gafney.

The individual amateur athletic championship of
America for 1889, was won last week by Malcnm W. Ford.
Had John Pnrcell, the all-round champion of the Pacific
Coast, been one of the competitors at this meeting, the
content between Ford and Pnrcell would have been very
exciting. They are, without doubt, two of the best all-
round athletes in the United States to-day, and it is to be
hoped that they may yet have an opportunity to prove
which is the better man.

An indoor tournament, under the auspices of the P. 0.
A. A. A., will probably be held in the Mechanics' Pavilion
some time in November. The President of the Association,
Walter A. Scott, has addressed a circular to each of the
clubs belonging to the P. C. A. A. A., setting forth the
nature of the tournament and asking them to lend their
aid in netting **• UP- *-*n moi'e than one occasion, in these
columns, we have suggested that an evening indoor athletic
meeting would be sure to meet with success, and we are
pleased to know that Mr. Scott has decided to make an
effort towards getting up an evening tournament. We
hope all the associate clubs of the P. C. A. A. A. will lend
their assistance to the undertaking, as we honestly believe
it will be a genuine success.

The field team of the Pacific Athletic Club will resume
practice at the Bay District Track to-morrow morning.
Captain Phil. Moody promises to have his men in tip-top
condition for the November games of the O. A. C.

It wonld be a good idea to add an individual tug-of-war
to the games' list of the O. A. C.

The P. C. A. A. A. will hold an important meeting on the
20th inst.

Bicycle tournaments are held at Stockton, San Jose, and
other "places throughout the State, why not athletic meet-
ings ? It is quite a while now since the country folks
have had a chance to witness an ont-door athletic tourna-
ment, and it would be in order for one of the Local Athletic
Clubs to hold a meeting at one of the interior cities. The
local athletes would appreciate the novelty of the change,
and the sport-loving country people would no doubt lend
their assistance towards making such a meeting a success.

Malcom W. Ford, the champion all-round athlete, is one
of the best athletic writers in America, and is at present
the Athletic Editor of one of the leading Eastern Sporting
Journals.

E. L. Stones, the amateur champion pole vanlter of Eng-
land, will take part in the championship games to-day.
He holds the world record of 11 ft. 7 in.

Billy Johnson, the collar-and-elbow wrestler, has issued
a challenge to wrestle in that style with any man in the
world for any part of $2,500.

The well-known English amateur walker, C. V. W. Clark,
is making his mark at long distance running.

The four crack walkers of the country, E. D. Lange, C
L. Nicoll, W. Burkbardt and T. Sherman, will oppose each
other in the mile walk at the regular American champion-
ship meeting Lext month. The pace will, no doubt, be
unusually hot, and the winner will be obliged to make
fast time.

William Byrd Page, the high jumper, is also a first-class
bicyclist, and affirms that he owes much of his powers as a
high jumper to practice on his wheel. He says that the
same muscles are brought into play in riding a bicycle and
in high jumping.

E. A. Kolb of the Olympic Club has challenged Mertes
of the California Athletic Club to wrestle in Grseco-Boman or
catch-as-catch-can style for a medal not to cost less
than S100.

At the Oars.

A good many club boats were noticed skimming along
the waters of the bay on Sunday last. It is evident that
several crews are in training for coming events.

Considerable interest is being taken in the proposed pro-
fessional championship race. It is thought that the date
of the race will be fixed next week.

The Ariel Rowing Club has decided to remain in its
present quarters for another year. Extensive improve-
ments|;\vill be made in the present clubhouse. The club
expects to have money enough in its treasury to build a
first-class clubhouse, in a more suitable locality, by the
end of next year.

John Teenier has signed the articles for a scnllei's race,
submitted by the backer of Jake Gandaur. All the pre-
liminaries have not been finally arranged yet, however,
although the match seems assured.

John W. Park and Paul E. Huncker, both of Philadel-
phia, Pa., rowed a race for the championship of the
Schuylkill Navy at Eaglesmere, August 2Gth, overaone and
one-half mile course. The race which was hotly contested
was won by Huncker by two lengths. Time, S min. 3G sec.

The great O'Conuor-Searle race is an event of the past.
The Australian champiou proved himself to be superior to the
Canadian in every way. When we predicted Searle's vic-
tory some weeks ago we did not base our theory upon mere
guess work, we faithfully studied the records of both men
and finally came to the conclusion that there was room for
improvement in Searle while O'Connor's powers over
strange waters were rather doubtful. Plainly speaking
O'Connor's friends overestimated their man, they made no
allowance for Searle's past victories, and if O'Connor had
not b^en forced into believing himself to be a much greater
oarsman than he really is perhaps he might have paid more
attention to training, Searle was not forced to do his best
but if O'Connor had been in the pink of condition, the
result of the race, of course, would not have been any
different, but the gap between the two boats at the
finish would have been considerably less. The Cana-
dian oarsman has learned a lesson and we hope he
will profit by it. His defeat by Searle is no disgrace,
and he still has a chance to prove himself to be an oarsman
of more than ordinary ability, even though he should
never meet the Australian again.

The Wheelmen'.

The wheelmen have started in to train for future events.
The proposed tournament at the Haight street grounds
promises to attract much attention.

John J. Hardin, Manager of the American team, intends
renting the Mechanics' Pavilion on October 21st for seven
nights, for an amateur bicycle contest, opeu to the world.
His team consists of three women ami two men, the latter
being W. F. Kuapp and W. T. Morgan. Prizes amounting
to S3, 000 will be offered. The contest will be for seven
days, eight hours a day.

The bicycle tournament, 'under;the auspices of the Garden
City Wheelmen, attracted about 1,500 spectators to the
Agricultural Park, San Jose, on Monday afternoon. The
weather was cool and the track in very fair condition. The
results are as follows:

The two-day wheel tournament which took place at Hart-
ford, Conn., September 2 — 3, was in every way a big success.
The tournament was under the auspices of the Hartford,

The members of the Terrace Club are practicing hard for
their coming races.

The weather was rather cold on Sunday last, and the
bath houses were not as crowded as usual.

The beach at Santa Cruz is getting rougher and more
dangerous every year. The tide comes up on the shore at
least fifty feet higher than it did last year, and the chances
are that in the course of a couple of years it will be almost
impossible to bathe with safety at Santa Cruz.

Steve Brodie accomplished the very remarkable feat of
" going " over the Horseshoe falls. Several have gone over
before, but Brodie is the only one that has ever returned to
shore alive. He is thinking about repeating the perform-
ance. Some very iutimate friend shonld persuade him to
abandon the idea, as his very narrow escape from drowning
on Saturday last, was nothing short of a miracle.

The one-half mile swimming match for $100 a s-ide
between E, C. Peckham, champion of the Pacific Coast,
and Alfred Snndstrom, of New York, took place at the
Terrace Baths, Alameda, on Monday last. A very large
audience was present to witness the contest. The New
Yorker took the lead after the first lap and held it to the
end, winning easily by about sixty yards. Peckham's
defeat was quite a suiiiri.se to his friends, who now claim
that he is much better at short distances than he is at
long.

One of the swimming clubs should offer a meditl for a
long distance swimming race, of say, three or rive miles,
open to all amateurs; the race to take place in the bay.

At the Pavilion, Blackpool, Englaud, Miss \unie
Johnson accomplished the feat of remaining under water
in a tank 3 min. 10 sec, which beats the performance of
' Lurline, the Water Queen,"' by IS% sec. The time-
keepers were Mr. Taylor, representing The Sporthuj Life
and K. M. Whitehead. ThU is now the best under water
performance hy a female swimmer.

On Saturday, Aug. 31 the 100-yard aod half-mile cham-
pionship swimmirjg races of the New York Athletic Club
were held at Travers island. H. E. Toussaint won both in
one min., 22A sec. and 15 min., 14-5 sec. respectively. In
the former Guy Richards was second by 1 yard, and in the
latter F. J. Wells was second by 6 yards.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The regular monthly exhibition of the Golden Gate Ath-
letic Club took place on Wednesday evening laet.

The next regular meeting and exhibition of the Occidental
Clob will take place on Monday evening at the club rooms,
southwest corner of Grove and Laguna.

An effort will shortly be made to start an athletic clnb in
connection with the Young Men's Christian Association of
this city.

Tne Pacific Athletic Club will no doubt be admitted to
membership In the P. C. A. A. A. at the next meeting of the
Association, September 20th.

Should the in-door athletic meeting of the P. C A. A. A.
prove a success, we will probably be treated to two cham-
pionship meetings hereafter, one out door and one in-door.
The athletes then will have no cauoe to complain.

Contestants at amatenr athletic m^stiues shonld wear
badges, denoting the clubs to which they beloDg.

"An athlete" thinks it would be a capital idea if the P. C.
A. A. A. would give a ball every year, at which the cham-
pionship medals could be distributed to the successful ath-
letes.

The Pacific Athletic Club ha3 incorpoiated. 1

It is said that the P. A. C. will shortly offer the gold med-
als for a 25-mile walk and a 10-mile run, hoth events to de-
cide the amateur ohampiontdiips of the Puein'c Coast. The
races will be open to all amateurs, and will probably take
place at the Bay District Track.

Arrangements have been completed for the exhibition of
the Olympic Club, which will take place at the Grand Oper*
House on the 21st inst. The juvenile clasa will contribute
to the entertainment of the evening with exhibitions of pyra-
mids, the wands, and exerciso on the U(iiz<>otal bars. A
sparring match between Profes&or Jim Corbett. thn boxing
instructor ff the clob, and some unknown professional will
also take place during the evening.

The regular annual meeting of the Olytnpu Clnb will be
held on next Monday evening, when the offit \y

elected will be installed.

OAKLAND.

Friday.

Friday was another thoroughbred day aDd drew a good
crowd. The unfinished 2:22 olass trot which had been
postponed from the day before was the first thing called,
and the Direct people looked upon the race then as a sure
thing for the b'ack horse After several scores they got a
fair start. Valentine half a length to the lead. At the first
tnrn Direct took the pool, Valentine second and Victor
abcnt foor lenstbs behind the leader. At the backstretch
Direct increased bis lead to sis lengths. Victor acting like a
very tired horse. It was probably one of Goldsmitb's cute
tactics, as when they reached the head of the second turn
Johnny brought Victor np slowly but surely. When they
came into the homestretch it was Direct first by five lengths,
Valentine second and Victor lapping his wheel. Then the big
bay came on with a rush, and as Direct perceptibly tired,
canght him just at the wire, the judges declaring it a dead
heat. At the drawgate Victor made a slight break, but
Goldsmith caught hiw quickly, and he gained little or no-
thing by it. Valentine finished sis lengths to the lead.
Time by quarters, 0:35, 1:11. 1:46|, 2:261.

Seven heats and the race stilt undecided. There was a
good deal of half suppressed excitement at this stage of the
game. Direct had plainly had enough and was not fit for an-
other heat. Valentine did Dot come out for the word. Di-
rect and Victor were sent away, Victor made a slight break
3n the turn, lauded quickly, and half way around took the
lead aDd was never headed, finishing in a jog. It was a
popular win and evoked a lot a cheering from the Bhort-
enders. Time by quarters 0-37* , 1:13, 1:50, 2:17$.

Saturday.

Saturday's programme at Oak'und drew a larger crowd
than had beenjpresent at any other daj of the meeting. The
events were good, but as speed contests they did not amount
to much as everything was taken in straight heats. There
were three events on the cards, the finish being the
Trotting, 2.30 Class.

E. B. Gifford's b h Atto Rex, Palo Alto'B c g Express, B. C,
Holly's ch m Pink. Marcus Daley's b h Lord Byron and G.
Guerne's b h Alfred G. were the starters. Pools opened with
Atto Res a favorite at $60, Lord Byron goingjat $55, Ex-
press $27, Pink $20 and Alfred G. £11.

First Meat. The heat was altogether between Atto Rex
and Aided G., Lord Byron broke as they swung into the turn
and wasn't heard of in the heat when they passed the quar-
ter; Atto Rex was leading Alfred G. by a neck, PiDk in third
place two lengths back with Express at her wheel At the
half Rex and Alfred were Btill together with Pink three
lengths back and Express off his feet and acting badly. The
positions were never changed, Alfred G. gave Rex a race
down the straight, but the attorney colt stayed in froDt and
won f'om him by a neck, Pink third, Express fourth and
Lord B^ron fifth. Time, 2:21£,

Second Heal. Pools sold, Atto Rex S$50, Pink $30 and
the Held S33. Atto Rex and Alfred G. again went away in
front a ueck apart, both Byron and Pink breaking on the
turn. Going down the backstretch Alfred G. closed up with
Rex and at the half had half a length the good of him, Ex-
press in third place three lengths behind them. The two
leaders went around the second turn head and head, Express
breaking and giving second place to Lord Byron who was
trotting fast. In the straight Rex and Alfred came together
to the drawgate where Alfred tired and beat Lord Byron out
second place only by half a length, Atto Rex going first two
lengthB ahead of them, Pink gettiDg foorth. Time, 2:22.

Third Heat. Atto Rex sold in the pools at $80 against the
entire held at §45. Going around the turn he broke hat set-
tled quickly, and at the quarter be was half a length in front
of Alfred G. and three lengths from Byron and Express, both
of whom were off their feet. Pink was in third place in the
backstretch, but she too. broke. Alfred G. and Atto Rex
went on around the turn and into the straight together, but
when they settled down in the race for home Alfred broke
and Atto Rex trotted in slowly, taking the heat and race by
four lengths, Alfred G. Second, Lord Bvron third, Express

Trotting— 2.17 Class. 1

The 2:17 class had but two starters, Palo Alto's b h Palo
Alto and Coombs & Salisbury's b m Lillie Stanley, and the
race was all one way, Stanley making no showing for her-
self against the horse. She was not tit for a bruising race,
and the talent knowing that, backed Palo Alto as a sure
thing. The pool box opened with Palo Alto going at about
two to one agiinst the mare.

First Heat. Palo Alto took a lead of two lengths going
around the turn. On the backstretch he inorea^ed the gap
to five lengths. He held that distance, trottiog easily, to the
middle of the straight, then Marvin eased him up and logged
him under the wire two lengths ahead of the mare. ' Time
2:18$.

Second Heat. Palo Alto sold for S70 against $16 for the
mare. The horse agiin went off in the lead, and was a
length in front at the qnarler. He made it three lengths on
the backstretch. aDd held that gap to the wire, slowing down
on the straight and again going under the wire in a ioe.
Time2:19J.

Third Heat. No pools were sold. The race was all over.
Palo Alto took the lead on the turn, went on at any gait he
pleased, and finished in the same style in 2:20k Stanley
breaking over on the straight.

The announcement that Gold Leaf would not start in the
free-for-all pace kept a good many people away from (he traak
who would have gone to see the great pacers, and the crowd
on the grounds were somewhat surprised when the names of
Gold Leaf Adonis and Yolo Maid apoeared on the board to
start. Mr. Salisbury bad consented to have the filly go and
the long looked for race was a reality. As a race, it was a
disappointment, another straight heat affair, and in slow
time, so Blow that there was hardly a shout duriug the race
except when in the second heat Adonis made such a close
hniBh wiih the Maid. The details of the race are as follows-

*}r8t Heat— Gold Leaf sold ohoice at $100 to $65 for the
Maid and I $21 for \donis. Adonis wa* not in the first heat.
Yolo Maid went off very fast with Gold Leaf at her wheel and
they passed the quarter in that order, AdoniB Bix lengths

back. Down the backstretch the two leaders, with hardly a
change in their positions, went at a fearful rate of speed and
flashed past the half in 1:04. Yulo Maid weut around the
i turn two lengths ahead, slowing down and getting to the
three-quarters in 1:38J. In the straight the Maid was four
lengths away and going easy, and she jogged under the wire
in 2:17, with Gold Leaf fonr lengths and Adonis ten lengths
back.

Second Heat — Yolo Maid was the only thing in the pool
box after her showing in the first heat, selling at $250 to $55
for Gold Leaf and $39 for Adonis. When they got off around
the turn, the Maid showed in front with Gold Leaf at her
wheel and Adonis a length back. At the quarter in 33i
seconds, the Maid was a length in front of Gold Leaf, Adonis
two lengths behind the latter. On the backstretch the two
drew away from Adonis and as ihey pa-Bed the half Yolo
Maid was a length in front of Gold Leaf and Adonis was
eight back. There was an open length between the lead-
eis on the second turn, but from the half Adonis began to
come fast und when they entered the straight he was not
more than four lengths in the lead. He came like the wind
down home, catching Gold Lpaf at the drawgate. Andy tiok
the filly back and Adonis went on for Yolo Maid. They
fouaht out a very Dretly finish, Yolo Maid getting there a
head first. Time, 0:33*. 1:07$, 1:41, 2:17.

Third Heat — There was another great chop in the pools.
Yolo Maid sold at $360, Adonis was second choice at $200
and Gold Leaf was begging at S20. A bad break on the first
turn threw Adonis out of it. Yolo Maid went on in the lead,
attended, as before, by Gold Leaf. The Maid opened a gap
of two lengths on the backstretch and got to the half in 1:05.
From there home she had it all her own way, gradually let-
ting out more daylight behind her and coming down to the
wire almost in a walk in 2:22.

John Leach's ch c Capt. Al, and W. L. Appleby's ch c King

the starter much trouble. When the flag fell at last he was
behind the crowd und not moving at all. Hubert Ukrl
jumped off in front, witb Captain Al and KiDg David at his
flanks. The three bunched as they passed the half, and
came around the turn and into the straight together. Cook
gave Pliny, who was twn lengths back, the whip, and the
colt responded by moving up to the leaders, but Hubert
Earl had speed left in him, and responded to the whip by
drawing away from the bunch with a rnsh, and going under

Osborne Self-Binder.

As usual, Messrs. D. M. Osborne & Co., at 116 Blusome
strett, Sin Francisco, appear in the advertising columns
most attractively, the reason being their desire to call the at-
tention of those who make hay to the Osborne Self-Binder
for cutting and binding hay. No raking is done or needed,
hence no dirt is gathered with the hay. It cures sweetly in
the bundle and does not leach or mould. It is the only ma-
ohino having sufficient motion, power and capacity to handle
green hay. In all hay great care should be taken to protect
it from all dust, sand, grit/clod, and other impur.ties which
tend to destroy the teeth aad generate disease io stock. The
Osborne Self-Binder is praotically an insurance against all
these dangers and is used by some of the most notable horse-
men in California.

Clabrouffh, G^lcher, & Co,

For twenty-five years the name of Clabrough in California,
has been synonymous with well made, finely finished, splen-
did shooting and reasonably priced gnus. Champion Crit-
tenden Robinson woo his spurs and maintained his supre-
macy for years with a Clabrough gun. When that snperb
gun-maker, Mr. William Golcher, associated himself with the
Clabrough interest, tbe guns put out by the firm were notice-
ably improved io profile and hang and have eversince gone on
improving, as desirable inventions could be tested.

The moat recent specialty of the firm is a $45 hammer-
lese in 10. 12 and 16 gauges, with tine Damascus barrels, and
all improvements, every one being guaranteed.

Tbe firm also holds agenoies for L. C. Smith, Parker Bros.,
Le Fever, W. and C. Scott, & Son, and all other makers of
merit.

Since the death of William Golcher about two yeaix ago,
his bous Wm. J. and Harry C, have assumed active control
of the business and it is but just to the bright and thorough-
ly trained young business men to say that they have given
an impetus to the gun and fishing tackle trade, whicn has
been felt through all its varions channels upon the coast.
The house draws upon the world for the best of everything,
within its lines, and is at Die head of the trade west of St.
Louis.

John H- Wallace.
There is no name so well koown to horse breeders aa that
of the gentleman whose name heads this article. For many
years he has devoted his entire time to the Register and now
we find that he occupies the same postiion tj the trotting
horse breeders of the United States, that Weatherby does to
the race horsemen of England. It is not always that we
aTee with him in his decisions, but as he is correet at least
ninety and nine times out of a hundred, we bow to his man-
dates and feel that there is but one Wallace, Bat a Bhort
time ago he gave a concise history of his labors in the cause
of registration, in the Monthly, and it will bear repealing.
In the magazine Mr. Wallace tells of bis life-work thus:
"The story of the Americas Trotting Register is the story
of more than thirty years of labor. Evolved out of nothing,
we will allude, very briefly to some facts in its history. To
very many of our younger subscribers these facts will be
new and, we think, not without interest. Our work first
commenced on running horses, and we carried it forward
with all the enthusiasm of a beginner. We gleaned
from all published sources, but especially from the American
Turf Register, founded by John S. Skinner, of Baitimore, in
1829. This pablication was afterward transferred to the old
Spirit of the Times, in New York, and died about 1845. Un-
der Mr. Skinner's management it became the chief recepta-
cle for the pedigrees of running horses, but unfortunately he
knew nothiog about pedigrees and admitted whatever came
just as it came. In our enthusiasm we never stopped to
inquire whether a pedigree was true; it was there in a book
and it must be trae. Many of the pedigrees were fragmenary
part to be found here and part there, but these transcieut
difficulties only served as a spur to keep us to our work. Af-
ter writing and rewriting two or three times, we had a great
mass af well-digested manuscript ready for the press. This
manuscript embraced all the gleanings of everything that
had been pnblished, practically, down to about the year
1S40, and when we had put it through the press it came out a
great, handsome book of 1000 pages. As an appendix to this
volume we inserted about 100 pages of trotting pedigrees
that we had gathered up in the progress of our work. This
appendix embraced all that was known of the breeding
of trotters up to that day, and in this light it is now
a most interesting study. We do not commend it for the
purrjose of showing how much was known at that time, but
how little compared with what is now known.

"We then took up the runners again where we had left off,
and gleaned everything, high and low, where a pedigree
could be found, to the close of 1870. We did the work with
great care and precision, and when we had it all ready for the
preBS the truth began to dawn upon us that the whole work,
published and uDpubliflbed, abounded in misrepresentations
and frauds. We had done our work faithfully, but the basis
on which we had done it was all wroDg. We had been grasp-
ing for pedigrees, and the further those pedigrees were ex-
tended the better we were pleased. We accepted what we
found in the various publications as true instead of investi-
gating and sifting the true from the false. When we found
such great horses aB Timoleon, Boston, American Eclipse,
etc., with absolute fictions in the extensions of their pedi-
grees, we became disgusted with the whole work to which
we had devoted many years of toil. It is humiliating to con-
fess it, but it is nevertheless true, that this all grew out of
our overreadiness to accept everything we saw in print as
true and our incapacity to judge of the motives which in-
fluenced men fifty years ago as they influence them to day.
To secure patronage for a stallion, it was just as common to
add on a va.lo.able cross or two of his pedigree as it was to
print a pedigree at all. There were no restraints of records
or stud books beyond two or three crosses at most, and be-
yond those every fellow worked his own sweet will in mak-
in making up the pedigree of his horse. The theory was
that if a horse ran well he must be thoroughbred, and forth-
with a pedigree was provided to suit him. We do not under-
take to say that there were no honest men nor honest pedi-
grees in the early part of this ceotury, but we do say most
emphatically that it was the custom of the times to add on
fictitious crosses that had no truth in them.

"The years devoted to the genealogy of the runners were
not thto#n away. This was just the kind of training we
needed to fit us for the greater work among the trotters. The
trotting supplement of 100 pages in the first volume of the
stud-book seemed to be more highly prized by the great mass
of breeders than the body of the book itself. This was a most
encouraging fact, and we resolved to spend some time and
money in making a book that no other man in the world
would have the courage to undertake. We traveled all over
the country, gathering information from all sources and se-
curing the co operation and assistance of breeders. We were
received with a welcome by the prominent breeders of the
country, with one siogle exception. That man was williDg
to have his pedigreeB appear in the book, but he was not will-
ing to pay a dollar each to nave them there. He was a rich
man, still a breeder with very moderate success, and has
never forgotten us for his meanness.

"The first volume of the Register was published in 1871,
the second in 1878. the third in 1879, the fourth in 1882, the
fifth in 1885. the sixth in 1887 and the seventh in 1888. In
the progress of this work we have been brought into contact
with a great variety of men, and we are glad to say that our
opinion of human nature has not been lowered by this con-
tact. The great body of our correspondents are honorable
and truthful men, and want nothing in their pedigrees that
doeB not rest on a well-ascertained and solid foundation.
There are otherB who will stick for what they claim, whether
right or wrong, and will refer to any number of persons who
have said the pedigree was all right. When asked for the
evidence upon which those persons base their assertion, the
fact flashes upon their minds at once that their methods of
proving their pedigrees are defective, and they soon come to
terms. Another class iB extremely teDaoious in holdiDg on
to a pedigree because it is old, and they will not fail to re-
mind you that "it has stood unquestioned for forty years" —
jast as though great age converted a lie into a truth. If you
point out an absolute impossibility in the pedigree it makes

but little difference, and is still retained. Fortuuately, men
of this class are not numerous Lastly, we have a class —
and we are glad to say it is a very small class — who are ready
to cheat on every occasion. In dealing with this olass we
have found by experience that the only safety is in declining
to accept any pedigrees from them.

"It would be a very strange thi g — indeed, something un-
heard of in the experience of our frail human nature — if we
should come in contact with so many men whose x:>roperty
interests would be affected by oor action and not pro .uce any
friction. There has been friction, sharp and grating, .until,
on two different occasions, the spindles got hot. It was sim-
ply another test of au old experiment that often been success-
ful, as to whether a monkey with a pocketful of money could
not beat a man with a hatful of brains. The contests was
not for the profits of registration, but for the control of regis-
tration so that pedigrees could be manipulated to suit certain
interests. Fortunately the animus and object of theBe move-
ments were understood from the beginning, and the breeders
of the country placed their seal of condemnation upon them
with such emphasis that they died still born. They were not
ready to place their pedigree interests in the hands of a rival
establishment or establishment?, even if there had been no
manifestations of unwillingness to submit to rules of evi-
dence that were just and fair to all. Tbey had confidence in
the integrity and ability of the management of the Register,
and there they stood as firm as a rock. Assurances of sup-
port came pouring in upon us from every quarter, and when
the conspirators saw that the whole breeding public was with
us and that they could neither steal the property nor force
its surrender, they came forward and offered us money to sell
it. with its good will and patronage. Our reply to them was,
in effect, that they were all rich men, but they didn't have
money enough to buy it, and that we would not transfer the
ownership or control to any body of men in whom the public
did not have confidence. But we will not dwell on this feat-
ure of the evolution of the Register, for the wars now seem
to be over and everything indicates peace."

When we determined to issue an extra edition of the
Breeder and Sportsman during the State Fair, a request
was sent to Mr. Wallace, asking him to contribute a short
article on California pedigrees, knowing the fighting charac-
ter of our Bubject. We were Dot surprised to receive such a
caustic letter, and while we do not agree with him in regard
to Mr. Williamson, still it shows the character of the writer.
Mr. Williamson, by the way, has a most remarkable memory
and can recall the names and marks of mares served by his
horseB twenty-five years ago, and, furthermore, we have
never kuown him to be wroog whenever there has been a
chance to verify his statements. In the case of Sunol the
statements of all concerned have been printed so recently
that it requires no further comment.

MR. WALLCE ON THE DIFFICULTIES OF CALIFORNIA PEDIGREES.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— As you have kindly
suggested that I shouldsay something to your readers on the
subject of California trotting pedigrees, I will call attention,
briefly, to a few of the leading difficulties that have stood iu
the way of satisfactory resultB in the investigations that I
have sought to carry forward in the past, and which still
hinder the discovery of the truth in many cases. The good
people of Celifornia are no better and no worse than the peo-
ple of other States, but as they have not been brought into
practical contact with the question of registration, as in the
older States, they are really behiDd in their appreciation of
the value of registration and in their knowledge of the kind
of evidence that is required to establish a pedigree. The
Register has always had a fair sprinkling of support from
California, but of late there has been a flood of applications
and many rejections.

The general fact that the investigation and registration of
trotting pedigrees is comparatively a new thing in all the
States alike has to be supplemented with the additional fact
that in California it has been the custom for many years to
iet the horses run at large and breed as they pleased. This
rendered all knowledge of lines of descent impossible, but it
did not fail to credit the colts to the best horse that was in
the band, or to any other famous stallion that may have been
owned in the region where the band wandered. Many of the
California pedigrees are in this shape, and we need not say
that all such are untrustworthy.

As an illustration of a class of pedigrees that abound in
California, take the case of the fast pacing mare Flora Lang-
ford, the dam of Joe Arthurton and otherB. All that we have
ever been able to learn about this mare is that she bears the
brand of the man who owned the rnnniDg horse Langford,
son of Belmont. On the basia of this brand it is assumed
that she was bred by that man and that she was got by Lang-
ford. Now both of these assumptions may be true, but they
must be Bbown to be true before they can be accepted. We
must know by whom this mare was bred and we must know
every step of her history from her breeder to her last owner.
That she was a natural and fast pacer is evidence of some
weight that she was not by Langford, but it is not conclusive
evidence. While it is a basic truth that no thoroughbred
horse ever paced or ever transmitted that habit of action, yet
the pace, coming from the other side of the house, has shown
itself in a good number of instances, as in the case of Rifle-
man, the sire of the very fast converted pacer, Col. Lewis.
While the probabilities, therefore, are very much against
Flora Laogford beiDg by LaDgford, we cannot either accept
or finally reject the pedigree till we are in possession of the
facts.

Fifty or sixty years ago all old gray mares were "Messen-
gers," and the habit of so calling them was not restricted to
any one region of country, but prevailed almost everywhere.
Ata later period all chestnnt mares about New York, and
especially Orange County, were "American Stars." In Ken-
tucky and Ohio they accommodated themselves to circum-
stances, but hardly ever failed to call a grey mare a "Grey
Eagle." Iu all these cases and nine times out of ten these
representations were purely fictitious. In California the
running horse Belmont takes the place, substantially, of
Grey Eagle and American Star in Kentucky and New York.
No doubt a number of trotters are out of Belmont mares, but
in most ca3es nobody seems to know by whom those mares
were bred. This is one of the leading difficulties in con-
sidering California pedigrees, and what makes it still worse
is the readiness of the former owner of Belmont to endorse
the Belmont cross in the pedigree of any and every perform-
er that ia in search of a Bire for his dam. It may as well be
understood that we do not place much confidence in this
kind of authoiily, for no man can from memory aod with-
out reference to his books, tell what mares were bred to
his horse twenty years ago. Besides, there is a weakness
among the former owners of noted stallions that is well
nigh univer.-al, to exaggerate the merits of their dead heroes.
This is not peculiar to California, for it is met with every-
where, and it is safe to say that the average stallion owner is
about the least reliable of all the witnesses we have to exam-
ine. As a matter of course this remark Applies to that class
of stallion owners who depend upon their memory and im-

agination, instead of upon records of the facts written down
at tbe time of the eveDt.

The mo3t aggrvat:ng difficulty we have to contend with is
the disposition on the part of some men to "twist" established
facts and distort them so as to Bnit some preconceived theory
of breeding or history. Take the case of Waxy, the grandam
of Sunol, and we have a fair illustration of this type of de-
pravity. Waxy was fold as a two-year-old, with other fillies
of the same age. At the sale those fillies were entered in a
stake for three-year-olds to be run the next fall; previous to
the race they wore exhibited at a fair as three-year-olds and
a few weeks afterwards they ran for tbe stake as three-year-
olds. Here were three different occasions on which their
ages were publicly given and recorded, any one of which
would be sufficient to establish the year Ihey were foaled.
Entries in stakes for certain ages *nd public performances
for those stakes are the very best evidence that can exist aa
to the age of an animal so entered and raced. But now, in
spite of these fatts, established and recorded a quarter of a
century ago, any number of men can be found in California
who would be willing to swear that the fillies in question
were only two years old when they ran for the stake, thus
setting op their unaided and unsupported recollection against
facts duly ascertained and written down at the time they oc-
curred. But why should those men be willing to foiBwear
themselves in a matter about which they have f.o accurate
knowledge? Simply to maintain a theory that has nothing
but a flimsy falsehoud for a foundation. If the fillies were
three years old when tbey raced, then Waxy was not by Lex-
ington and out of Philip Swigert's Grey Eagle mare, for that
mare had no toal corresponding with that year, hence to
make the pedigree possible the age of the fillits must be
changed. The horse world can furnish, on sight, a great
many liars and a great many fools, but it is doubtful whether
any State can furnish the two qualities combined in such
blooming exhnberance as California has done in this case.

The old practice of saying "dam thDroughbred'' when noth-
ing whatever is known of the breeding of the dam or gran-
dam, still haB its adherents iu California. At one time it was
a humbug, practically universal in all the States, but of late
years and since the Monthly was established it has fallen in-
to disuse aDd is looked upon as disreputable and vulgar.
Instead of writing it "dam thoroughbred" we now write it
"dam unknown, " which is the real and true meaning of the
phrase. How can any mortal know whether an animal is
thoroughbred unless he can give the pedigree and the breed-
er of that animal? The first requisite in preparing an appli-
cation for registration is to give the breeder of the animal
and the breeder of each dam in the pedigree. With this
there must be a circumstantial history of each dam, so that
there can be no mistake in her identity, and every standard
animal must be registered. The whole aim is to get at the
truth, and all the truth, and nothing but tbe truth.

BRITTON AND REY,
Lithographers.

Next only to fitly chosen words in graphic power are the
inscriptions of the artist, as they reach us after the delicate
manipulations of the lithographer, and perhaps to none more
than Messrs. Britton & Rey, loug time established at 525
Commercial Btreet, San Francisco, are local art lovers in debt
for high class work in Lithography, Arto-type work and
Photo-Lithography. Readers of the Breeder and Sports-
man have, ever since the establishment of the paper, had
opportunities to enjoy the artistic productions of the firm,
and it is but giving expression to the consensus of opinion
to write that the pictuie3 of Britton & Rey have always been
unexceptionable. All recent developmenfs in the picture
making art are at once tested by the firm, and they are fuliy
prepared to do perfect artotype work, as well as to produce
clear and elegant photo-lithographs. A specialty is a patent
process for lithographing on tin for signs for ordinary wall
advertising, and the demand for the work proves alike its
desirability and cneapness. The storerooms of the firm af-
ford most interesting opportunities to the student of art, Bnd
demonstrate both the march of invention and the enter-
prise of the proprietors. Oui dog fancying readers in par-
ticular have cause to be gratefal to Britton & Rey for the
beautiful portraits of notable dogs sect out from time to
time, while horsemen may readily be pardoned a little enthu-
siasm as they study the marvelously lifelike presentments of
creat equines which accompany the present issue, all of
which emanated from the quaint laboratory of Britton &
Rey, at 525 Commercial street.

The London Live-Stock Journal publishes the following
interesting account of an occurrence which appears to be
well authenticated: "A Cornwall correspondent, in sending
us the following extract from tbe Cornishman eays: *I
thought it possible you would like to have it sent to you as
it is a very remarkable case. I do not think there is one on
record like it. I have heard of cases before, but they have
only been one stone (or calculi). In this case, you will see,
there were four. I might state that I wpb there and saw them
taken out. 'Mr. George Williams, of St Iven, Cornwall, fish-
buyer, etc., had a horse fourteen years old, which on Tues-
day took a load of potatoes to a steamer at Penzance, and
reached borne at eight in the eveniDg, apparently quite well
and doing its work as comfortably as any ordiuarv horse of
that age does. On Wednesday it became uneasy, and seemed
to be in much pain, and &t six o'clock that eveDiDg tbe
services of Prof. F. Andraw, veterinary surgeon, were aBked
and promptly given. He found the poor animal sitting on
its haunches BtrainiDg, and in great agony. Heat once said
there was a stoppage in its stomach or intestines. All that ve-
terinary skill and attention thoughout that night aud Thurs-
day could do was done by Prof. Andrew, but tbe poor ani-
mal died in terrible pain, its scre-chings being something
pitiful to listen to. A post-mortem disclosed the causa of
so much pain and ultimate death. In the intestines were
four large stones, weighing 4 pounds 1 oz. The largest
weighed U lba. You could see that these foreign substances
had a small beginning, and then time after time, prolably
from deposits of lime or some mineral in the water, ring on
ring of calcareous matter formed. But the most curious fact
remains. Two of the largo stones seemed to have got to-
gether in the gut, and these ground against each other until
the inner surface of each sphere became flat. Tb
found together, flattened face to flattened face,
smaller stones were apart, nod were round. H
animal lived, fed, and worked under such circni
mystery.'"

Horse Syphillis or Maladie da Coit-

This disease, which has lately attracted considerable atten-
tion to tbs State of Illinois, owing to the severity of an out-
break in Ds Wit Coonty, has been known to exist for many
years in Europe, Asia and Africa.

Space being kindly allotted to me for an article in the State
Fair edition of this paper, I have ubosen the above-mentioned
disease and propose giving the history, symptoms etc., of
this malady, as it presents itself in the stallion and mare.
However, to do so it is necessary to draw largely, if not en-
tirely upon the recent literature on this subject, and the last
sod most authentic report and description I have read is
that by Dr "Williams, Assistant State Veterinary Surgeon of
Illinois in his report on the outbreak in De Wit Couoty to
the Live Stock Commissioners of that State. Other works can
also be had with interest, and probably none with greater in-
terest than Dr. Lientard's exhaustive treatise on theAmencan
Veterinary Keview, Vol. IX. For further and more extensive
information readers of this article are referred to Dr. Flem-
ing's Sanitary Science and Police. In describing the symp-
toms of this malady, I will adhere strictly to those enumera-
ted by Dr- Williams as being present in the Illinois outbreak
—Firstly Because the symptoms' etc., of other writers in the
English lan^uaee are mostly translations from foreign auth-
ors Secondly, Because those writers did not have cnarge of
aflfected animals in quarantine, as Dr. Williams has, and,
consequently, could not observe daily changes in symptoms,
etc as Dr. Williams has dune.

Dr Williams considers the so-called benign form of mala-
die du coit described by Enelish authors to be a distinct ve-
nereal disorder, and in this I concur with Dr. Widiams be-
cause last June I was called by Dr. Spencer, of San Jose, to
examine a stallion and some thirty mares, which were pro-
nounced by an unqualified veterinary surgeon to be affected
with horse syphillis or maladie du coit.

Dr. Spencer had already seen the animals and decided
there was no cause for any such decision. I found the mares
and one stallion suffering from equine chancroid a benign
ocal ruptive venereal disorder— symptoms of which will be
given, afier those of the true horse syphillis or maladie du
coit have beou enumerated— at first I was inclined to con-
sider it as the benign form of horse Syphillis, but there being
no deaths, and all of the affected animals recovering in from
two to threa weeks, proved that Dr. Spencer's conclusions
were correct.

The precaution of quarantining all the affected animals was
taken. At the same time I was struck with the similarly of
those symptoms and those of the so-called benign form of
horse syphillis and equine chancroid, and was at a loss to
account for anything to distinguish the two diseases until a
copy of Dr. Williams' able report was published, wnen I at
once saw the correctness of his (Dr. Williams) views, and
agree with him in his definition that ;,equine syphillis" may
be defined as a maligant, specific venereal disease, peculiar to
solipeds, and as my views are similar to those of Dr. Will-
iams, I will as already stated, adhere to the symptoms pub-
lished, by Dr. Williams as being present during tne outbreak
in Illinois. Adjoined to this article is a verbative copy of
the list of stallions that were affected in that State. It will
be noticed that stallion No. IS, was last heard from at Fres-
no, California, still affected and under no restrictions. _ The
question that arrises in the mind of any horseman in the
State is, Has this stallion affected any mares in this State?
One would infer he has if bred to any mares, as certainly
must be the case when we read that No. 18 was nnder no
restrictions, and again it is certain the owner did not pur-
chase and bring the stallion to this State to look at. We will
ask another question. If the disease should already have
gained a foothold, whole is to blame? The State authorities,
of course, as this stallion came in without any, and remained
likewise, without any restrictions; so can numerous other
fatal diseases also be admitted, some of which would cause
sufficient loss among the stock interests to awake the author-
ities when it is probably too late.
The symptoms of horse Byphilis or maladio du coit:
1st: The Mare— In a variable length of time— from eight to
nine days after copulation — the mare exhibits uterine excite-
ment resembling exagerated oeBtrum (heat). The vulva is
swollen and the mucous or living membrane of both the
vulva and vagina becomes red — with a disoharge from the
vogiua — which increases, becoming sticky — white, yellow,
greyish, or reddish in color — collecting about, and soiling the
tail and perineum. The mare is restless, stamps with her
hind feet, and voids urine frequently in small quantities,
which irritates^the vagina, oauBing|increased restlessness. The
lips of the vulva become more swollen, the odcema being of a
dropsical nature.

Concerning the appearance of external eruption, Dr. Wil-
liam says: "If any occured in the outbreak in Illinois, they
have been entirely within the vagina, and few in number.
There is a peculiar loss of pigment in the skin of the vulva
perineum and annus, continuing nntil the enthe vulva, per-
ineum and annus may become one white patch, or dotted
with spots a one-quarter of an inch in diameter. Copulation
increases the vaginal discharge, as well as aggrevating the
symptoms.

Infected mares rarely conolive, and if they do, abort by the
sixth month, and if the foal is carried to the full period, it is
almo3t sure to be weakly and short lived. Itching is frequent-
ly present, and comparatively early in the disease odcematous
swellings of the )eg4 and abdomen appear.

The iDguitial glands frequently enlarge and Buppinate, and
the udder also becomes inflamed and enlarged. Enlargement
of the glands between the angles of the lower jaws is often
present, as well as a viscid, sticky discbarge from the nostrils
resembling glanders, which resemblance is heightened by the
appearance of small superficial erosionB or ulcers on the nasal
membrane, and usually associated with the nasal discharge,
a mnco-purulent discharge from the eyes is observed.

Other swellings appear one, two or even six inches in di-
ameter. These sweeliogs occur any time from eight to ten
weeks to the end of the disease and disappear as suddenly as
they come, and others again appear in other parts of the
body. In nearly all cases, as the disease progresses, there
appears tdgus of weakneas and paraly&in, mainly of the hiud
parts, the animal exhibiting an unsteady gut and briticing
the hind feet forward in a difficult, noccriain manner. This
difficult action may be present in one or both l'aibs, or ap-
pear first in one and then in the other, when it miy disap-
pear entirely and return again worse than ever. The lame-
ness is sometimes of u spasmodic nature, resembling string

halt. As the disease advances thelameness usually increases.
The back becomes arched, and the hind feet are dragged
along the ground, until the paralysis becomes so severe that
the animal, when down, is unable to rise. Emaciation usu-
ally begins early in the disease, and increases rapidly when
once the paralytic symptoms develop, until the whole body is
wasted to a skeleton, although the appetite appears unim-
paired to the last and the food to be well digested. Late in
the course of the disease paralysis of a lip or ear occasionally
occurs. Death may be due to gradual giving away of the an-
imal powers or to pneumonia and other accidental complica-
tions.

2nd in the stallion.
In view of the general symptoms being essentially the
same as in the mare, it is necessary only to consider the local
manifestations in the genital organs. The commencement of
the disease is far more insidious in the stallion than in the
mare, being in many caBes unrecognizable for months.

The symptoms sometimes appear early; again, the devel-
ment of the disease is tardy and hardly noticeable, or the
primary symptoms may appear for a few days or weeks, and
then disappear entirely and the stallion remain entirely well
for months, although returned to the stud (which aggravates
the disease), and yet be capable of transmitting the disease at
least six months later, probably Beveral yeare, without afford-
ing other evidence of disease. The first noiiceable sign of the
malady is a well marked, peculiar swelling of the prepuce, of
an indolent, donghy natnre, which may implicate the anteri-
or part of the sheath, as well as the posterior part and the
scrotum, the akin being thickened, smooth and Bhiny. These
Bymptoms may disappear in a few days to a few weeks, leav-
ing no tangible trace of the disease, except the power of trans-
mitting it, or it may remain for some months or years, either
to be complicated with or succeeded by other symptoms.
Some writers at this stage describe erosions or eruptions up-
on the prepuce, penis and sheath, but in Illinois the erup-
tions were few in number, disappearing quickly, leaving no
noticeable soars, and in most c*Bes none were noticed at all.
Thesheath may or may not become swollen, and if it doestbe
swelling may disappear early, or may be present throughout
the disease, and when 6o, varies in size, being susceptible to
unaccountable turns of growth or subsidence. The character
of the swelling resembles those of the prepuce, or they may
become indurated from the presence of suppurating gUnds.
The testicles are in most cises unusually pendant, due to
paralysis of the cremaster muscle; again, when greatly atro-
phied, they lie in some cases in the inguinal canal, and may
even be pushed up into the ring by abscesses or indurations
of the lower part of the scrotum. Their size may be norma',
enlarged or atrophied. Enlargement during the earlier stages
iB proverb ally the rule, but atrophy is almost constant dur-
ing the latter stages; the consistency is almost flaby and soft.
The penis is said to be sometimes bypertrophied (enlarged)
and sometimes atrophied (wasted), but in the Illinois out-
break no deviations from the normal size was noticed, nor
were there any signs of alterations in color or presence of the
yellowish-white marks, or bluish, or violet eliptical patches
mentioned by other writers. The retractile power of the penis
was deficient in a large proportion of the cases, so that it
hung partially out of the sheath, and in some cases at fnll
length entirely powerlesB.

Sexual deBire usually remains unimpaired throughout, and
the power to copulate is in many animals but little impaired,
but during the earlier stages, when tumefaction of the pre-
puce and penis is present, the stallion fails in many cases to
effect coition from excessive erection or other causes. The
same inability may arise late in the course of the disease from
loss of power in the penis or from extreme paralysis of the
posterior parts.

The urethral opening may or may not be abnormally red
and swollen, and in some cases there is a mnco-purulent
discbarge from the urethra, while in others involuntary emis-
sions of semen occur. The animal may urinate frequently,
and the act be accompanied with more or less pain. In
some cases polyuria or diabetes is well marked.

In the majority of cases, as the malady advances, emacia-
tion with a dry, staining coat is noted, which is of an inter-
mittent character, stopping for a time, sometimes improv-

ing, and then again commencing, more virulent than ever,
being especially marked on the hind quarters. The paralytic
symptoms and intermittent lameness in the stallion are sim-
ilar to those symptoms already alluded to when discussing
the mare.

Prnritis or itobing is more marked in the Btallion than in
the mare, causing him to violently rub and bite himself, pro-
ducing large, unhealthy sores. The migratory swellings are
more marked in the stallion than in the mare. The superfi-
cial inguinal lymphatic glands and its radicles on tbe scrotum
are prone to suppuration, Baid tendeuuy being well marked
in the Illinois ontbreak, where some of the abscesses formed
discharged nearly a gallon of puss. In the same outbreak
the lymphatics of the sheath are described as being still more
prone to suppuration, but very indolent, and not extentive,
causing indurationB, which frequently pushed the teaticle
upwards toward the abdominal cavity, and occupyi.gits
ordinary position, could'easily be mistaken for that organ.

PROGRESS, DURATION AND TERMINATION.

It is always slow in its course, and is modified by inter-
mittent symptoms, the duration being very variable.

Recovery may take place in two months, in mares especial-
ly, and animate may die within the same period, if they are
of weak constitution or debilitated, and recovery is noted in
the Illinois outbreak when the paralysis has been so com-
plete that the animal could not rise without assistance.

The disease may last from three months 'o as many years,
and recovery, eihter apparent or real, may take place at any
intervening time.

CURATIVE MEASURES.

Dr. Williams tays: "The chances of effecting a cure or ex-
erting by any known treatment any marked influence on the
course of the disease are very remote. Many different lines of
treatment have been proposed, but their beneficial effects have
not been well demonstrated. Castration is said to have a bene-
ficial effect in stallions." Dr. Williams further sayB: "The
history of the disease in foreign countries repeats the warning
over and over, never under any consideration allom a mare
affected with equine lyphilis to be bred again." Hence, at
wnatever labor or cost, all affected mares should either be
killed or held ridgedly in quarantine. Killing is certainly
preferable whenever it can be readily done; otherwise, years
of careful watching and supervision must ensue.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES.

Dr. William's principal recommendations to lhe Illinois
Live Stock Commission were: —

1st. The wide distribution of the accompanying list of
exposed stallions among stallion owners, along with such
matter as said commissioners might deem best.

2nd. A brief summary of the laws regarding quarantines
and their violation. (In this State we have none to violate.)

3d. A concise description of eqnine syphilis, and also of
the benign exanthemons venereil disease of horses, equine
chancroid.

4th. That no stallion be allowed to serve a mare that has
any discharges from the vaguia or swellings of the vnlva, nor
mares that show unusual, persistent oestrum (heat), nor
mares that are extremely old, dibilitated or unthrifty in
appearance, nor that present any discharge from the nostrils,
or show unhealthy sores on any part of the body, or mares
partially paralysed or unaccountably lame in the hinder parts,
especially when accompanied by general bad health.

oth. That all stallion owners should take the precaution
to have the penis of the stallion thoroughly washed immedi-
ately after serving each mare.

6th. That owners of mares should not permit them to be
served by any stallions presenting any enlargement or swell-
ing of testicles, scrotum, penis, sheath or prepuce, or any
undue pendency of penis or testicles, or any unnatural dis-
charge from the penis, or any abrasions, ulcers or sores of
any kind on the penis, prepuce or sheath, or having any dis-
charge from the nostrils, or any unhealthy sores on any part
of the body, or any stallions showing an unaccountable lame-
ness, stiffness, or weakness of loins, except the owner of snob
stallion produce a cer ificate from a qualified practitioner of
undoubted standing certifying that Baid stallion is free from
any contagious or infections disease.

EQUINE CHANCROID OR BENIGN.

Exanthemons venereal disease of horses. — (By exanthe-
mons is meant a disease accompanied with a rash or erup-
tion.) This is a coDtagious disease of the genetal organs, in
which the lesions are almost all exclusively localized. It is
common to both male and female, affecting both solipeds and
bovines. and assumes three or four diBtinct forms, but most
frequently the pustular. (Fleming, in Sanitary Science and
Police.)

^ The same author says reaarding its nature: "His essen-
tially benignant; is in the majority of instances transmitted in
the act of corpidation, but can also be artificially induced by
inoculation, ft appears to be due to a morbid change effected
in the secretions of the genital mucous membrane by too frequent
coition or constitutional derangement.

After dne consideration and the examination of mares in
the outbreak of this malady, I investigated in this State with
Dr. Spencer, of San Jose. The benignity of the malady was
ooticod, as well as the fact that some mares were affected

that were not yet bred, and as~"a solution of this phenom-
ena we came to the conclusion that the unbred marts re-
maining with the already diseased ones obtained the virus of
the malady by actual contact with the tails or hind parts of
those already afflicted. Dr. Fleming says: "Infection oc-
curs through corpulftion, the stallion transmitting it to the
mare, when they again transmit it to healthy males brought in
contact with them.." It can also be conv yed in the act of
sucking, as M. Dayot has furniflhed instances of Iransmis-
mission of genital eczeina in this way from dams to their
progeny.

In enumerating the symptoms of equine chancroid we
must bear in mind that this maledy is described by Dr.
Fleming as occuriug in three distinct forms. 1. Eczema-
tons variety. 2 Pustular variety. 3. Ecthymatous variety

Following the classification discribed by Dr. Fleming, I
found the symptoms obseived during the outbreak in this.
State to be more cl sely allied to the ecthymatous form of
equine chancroid than any of the others, and in this out*

break Dr. Spencer and I traced the contagioni in the first
place to an old mare, that was Buffering from chronic inflam-
mation of the womb, and being served in that state all
the mares served by the stallion; after serving her were taken
sick as was also the stallion. He (the stallion got better
quickly and served the same old mare mentioned in the first
instance a second time, and when again bred to others after
the second breeding of the old mare, affected them with the
malady, and was himself again similarly affected. The fol-
lowing were the symptoms observed:

(First mares — The disease was at first noticed on the vulva,
and in most of the cases, the folds of skin whioh atiach the
labia to the thighs, (or practically speakiDg those parts
around the anus and valon devoid of hair) in from three to
ten days after the copulation were the seat of bard lumps.
These lumps are either isolated or clustered, and if the lat-
ter, the lips of vulva become tensified and swollen, the af-
fected parts are painful, especially after repeated copulation
and a seropurulent discharge appears. The discharge was
not present in all ca=es, in fact in only a few, the general
symptoms being the little hard lumps which only in one or
two caseB were in clusters. In a few days aft«r the ervup-
tion appeared, the discharge from the lumps cruBted over
and healed np, leaving only white cicatrices due to the des-
truction of the pigment. About twelve days was aB long as
the symptoms generally lasted. In some of the cases they
disappeared sooner, but leaving the characteristic white
patches devoid of pigment.

Some of the west cases were troubled with pain when
voiding— urine — which passed away in a few days. In the
Bick mares we did not notice anv constitutional symptoms,
except in one case, which was affected with a slight catarrhal
inflammation of the eyes. We examined all the mares inter-
nally, using a vaginal speculnni, to prevent any doubt as tbe
owner was particularly anxious to have no error in the diag-
nosis, and in no single instance did we find any signs of dis-
ease internally, with the exception of a slight vaginitis in one
or two caseB, and of such a mild nature as to scarcely require
mentioning.

Second, The stallion — In thisoutbreak of equine chancroid
we only had to ex-miine one stallion as that was all that waB
exposed, and he was a healthy-looking animal when I saw
him— good, shiny coat, fat, and ready for his work. On ex-
amination of his penis we found four or five Bmall ulcers,
situa'ed on the sides of the penis, about the posterior third,
and the remains of some ulcers in the form of a thickening
about the glans The ulcers on the sides w re situated juet
about the part of the penis that would be adjacent to the ex-
ternal lips of the vulva during coition. These ulcers went
through the same course as in the mares, healing rapidly and
leaving white cicatrices with a destruction of the pigment.
Thfi stallion exhibited no constitutional symptoms whatever.

Dr. Fleming says: "In aggravated and neglected cases the
penis may swell as well as the sheath, and abscetsfs form,
ani the penis not capable of being retracted; but seeing only
one stallion affected (and it in a mild form), we did not ob-
serve any of those symptoms " Again, the same author, un-
der the heading "Immunity," says: "One attack does not
confer immunity from another. It appears, and several rep-
ititions of the infection may occur in the same animal."
This was found correct as the stallion above mentioned; was
twice afflicted, as already mentioned.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES.

Do not allow your stallion to re over-exerted during the
covering season, nor the mare too frequently covered with
different stallions within a short time. Give no food of a
highly stimolatmg nature, nor any drugs, i. e., cantharidies,
pppper, etc. Cleanliness and attention to hygienic measures
should also be observed. Some of Dr. Williams' recommen-
dations for the prevention of equine syphilis should be ob-
served for the malidy also.

SUPPRESSIVE MEASURES.

Prevent direct contact between the diseased and healthy
animals. We quaranteed the stallion in the outbreak in the
State for about twenty days, and treated the mares. Dr.
Fleming recommends smearing the gemtal organs of the male
and female with some greasy substance; this may diminish
infection and cati be resorted to, provided copulation does
not aggravate the symptoms, and the lesions oppose its ac-
complishments, contact between a diseased dam, and her
Drogeny should be avoided.

CURATIAE MEASURES.

Cleanliness, cessations of copulation. Emollient and as-
tringent applications in the form of a lotion or an injection
generally bring every ease to a favorable termination. Again
nature generally restores the animal to a state of health, art
onlv expediting recovery by perhahs a few days. This we
found the case in this State as some of the mares for which
nothing was done, were convalescent quicker by a few days
than those that were treated when the ulcers become deep,
they reanire dressing with canstics.

In conclusion, I may state having given an abbreviated ac-
count of the symptoms, etc., of equine syphilis and equine
chancroid, as well as the principal recommendations advo-
cated by Dr. Williams, of Illinois, for the prevention of equine
svphilis, some of which apply to equine chancroid as well,
although the latter leaves as already mentioned none of Ihe
fearful results that equine syphilis does. But nevertheless,
breeders can do no harm by b<nng cautious, as the initial
symptoms of thos=e above mentioned diseases bear such a re-
semblance that great discrimination is necessary to distin-
guish the one from tbe other. In writing the papeM have
tried to avoid technical terms as much as possible, whilst en-
deavoring to give the readers of the Breeder and Sportssan
as concise a description as possible of both equine syphilis
and eauire chancroid, and I hope my attempt will meet with
the approbation of every intelligent n- biased breeder and
horseman in this State. Dr. Thos. Bowhill,

MARYSVILLE.

The nearest to four-minute race which was driven on Wed-
nesday brought out ten starters. First prize was won by a
chestnut horBe hitched to a light express wagon entered by
the Examiner, and driven by the Breeder and Sportsman's
representative. The ten contestauts made the following
times:

The Examiner's Monarch, 3:55; George Simpson's Adobe,

3:43; C. Sherman's Wapple, 3:35. The Examiner's Monarch
received $20; Adobe $!5, Jenny 10; Yuba $5. Wapple
cou'd not be kept slow enough, to his driver's disgust.

THURSDAY.

A fairly representative gathering congregated on the track
to witness the stock paiade, and a much larger crowd in the
afternoon to Bee the racing. The most noticeable feature
was the absence of the ladies. The first lace, a six-fnrlong
and repeat, was won by Applause in slow time without turn-
ing a hair. The pacing special was won in straight heats by
Snicklefritch, who could have gone six or seven seconds
faster if necessary. The special three-year-old trot was left
in an open state, three being left in at night, with St. Lucas
two heats, Annie E. two (the last protested) and Sidney J.
one.

Six Furlongs and Repeat — Running,

First Heat — Applanse was considered such a moral, that
pools sold with Applause barred, Hotspur briuging $8 to the
field $10. Joker was very fractious at the post, delaying the
start for a long while. When the flag fell Applause was a
shade in front, and soon had a three lengths lead, which he
kept all through, winning untouohed. Johnny Gray finished
second, half a length in front of Hotspur, both laying the
heat up, and Joker, ridden hard, distanced. Time, 118.

Second Heat— Hotspur sold for $10 to Gray $7, very few
pools being eold. Applause led from start to finish, winning
easily by three lengths. Gray was two lengths in front of
Hotspur all rhe way to the distance, seemingly going easy,
while Hotspur was ridden hard from start to finish, getting
the place by a neck. Time, 1:16*.

Special Pacing Race.
First Heat— After a good deal of chopping and changing,
Wapple settled down favorite at $20, Snicklefritz bringing
$16, and Doc $12. When they were sent off to a good start,
Wapple showed in front to the turn, where Doc broke badly,
and the other two left him; Fritz gradually drew out, and
pacing fast, had a five lengths le'd at the half in 1:11, and
slowing up, won as he liked; Wapple, breaking in the
straight, finished six lengths behind him, and Doc five
further back. Time, 2:30.

Second Heat — Fritz now sold a red-hot favorite at $15 to
the others, $5 each. While scoring up Doc broke, and ran
away once round the track with Ober. When they were
despatched Wapple left his feet, but catching, was only half
a length behind Friiz at the turn. Fritz slowly but surely
went away, having a two lengths lead all the way np the
backstretch, and won as he pleased by three lengths. Don
ran most of the way, being unmanageable, and was distanced
for running- Time, 2:3H.

Third Heat— Worth Ober was substituted behind Wapple,
who sold for $5 against $20. The pair got away at the sec-
ond attempt, Fritz, having a two leugths lead on the turn,
kept it to the half, when Wapple broke, and going up again
in the stretch, was beaten in a jog by ten lengtns. Time,
2:34.

FRIDAY.

The unfinished race from Thursday was the first on the
Drogramme. The judges decided that there was not evidence
enough to warrant them in punishing Kinney or altering their
decision in the last heat. The colt was driven by hiB owner,
Mr. Biggs, in the first three heatB in the race, and though
trotting fast at times could not be kept down. Every two
hundred yards or so he would buck, jump for a few strides,
and though he did not gain by it he never loBt anything, and
havina been pot back to third position once for running,
Kinney dare not take any liberties with him, though he might
possibly have made more use of him at the head of the stretch.
S. Tiefry drove him in the final heat, being easily beaten by
Annie E , who made the best time in the race. The other two
races were rather tame, Almonta having nothing to do to beat
her opponents, while, although Ross S. got one heat in 2-25,
the race was never in doubt, tor Eva W., who, like Ross, is by
Nutwood, took the fourth heat cleverly, again demonstrating
her staunchness. Ross S. got a good honest record, for in
the heat he never made a skip or break, and could have gone
faster. In the other heats he could not be kept down. The
running race was a gift for Johnny Allen. The ladies' tourn-
ament took placa in th<3 middle of the afternoon, the fair con-
testants being left in doubt until the evening as to which was
the victress. The judges of equestrianism were Messrs.
Billaps, A. Wtst andT. Sherwood.

Special Race, Trotting.
First Heat. Lucas sold a hot favorite at $30, Annie E. and
the Held bringing $10 each. The quartette got well away at
tbe second attempt. Sidney broke before the turn, and Lu-
caB cut the work, leading five lengthd past the quarter, with
Tart a bad last. Sidney closed gradually, and with Annie E
was only two lengths behind at the head of the Btretcb, and
all three, trotting steadily, were about level at the seven-
eighths pole, when Lucas broke badly, Sidney winning by
three lengths, Lucas half a length in front of Annie E., and
Tart distanced. Time, 2:49.

Second Heat. Lucas was still favorite at $10 to Sidney $6
and Annie $3. When Bent away Lucas broke, but getting
down atonce passed Sidney, who went to pieees on the turn.
At the quarter the order was Lucas, Annie. Sidney three
lengths between each. The favorite, despite several buck
jumps, kept his lead to the three-quarters, Sidney, who brdke
I on the turn, beiDg last. A pretty race enBued down the

straight, Lucas winning by a length from Annie E., with
Sidney fifteen lengths back. Time 2:40.

Third Heat. Lucas sold for §10 to $4 for the field. Lucas
broke immediately after leaving the wire, but catching well,
went to the front round the turn, and with Sidnev breaking
had a four lengths lead up the back stretch, but slowing
down round the turu all were on level terms when fairly in
the straight. Lucas made several breaks in the stretch, and
was ultimately beaten out a length, Sidney four further back.
Lucas was placed third for running. Time 2:45.

Fourth Heat. Lucas now sold for §10 to Annie's $15 and
Sidney's S4 Kinney drove Lucas, who scored up very fast,
and when sent away soon bad a two lengths lead, which he
retained, despite two breaks on the first turn, to the head of
the stretch, when he drew away from Annie, who made a
bad break, finishing ten lengths behind him, Sidney last.
Time2:43£.

Fifth Heat — It was now considered a foregone conclusion,
and no pools were sold. When tbe trio were tapped off,
Annie had a length the best of it, but Lucas went right past
her, and trotting nicely, had three lengths the best of it at
tbe half; the othertwo closed a little on the turu, and Sidney
going to pieces in the stretch; Annie, trotting very gamely,
caught Lucas at tbe top of the enclosure, and when half a
leneth in front, both broke running under the wire. Time,
2:44$.

Sixth Heal— When they came out on Friday, Trefry was
behind Lucas, who had gone back in the betting, selling for
S6 to Annie E. S10, and Sidney $2. Lucas went away well,
having a two lengths lead on the turn, when he renewed his
bucking tacticB, but settling down, trotted away again, being
three lengths in front of Annie at the half. Sullivan drove
the mare hard, and closing the gap on the turn, and catching
Lucas a furloDg from home, carried him to an awkward
break, and won handily by two lengths, Sidney four further
in the rear. Time, 2:40.

L. Altnout rive lengths for second. Time, 2:41£.

Second #ea£— Almonta was barred, and Blaine brought $10
to $6 for L. Almont. Almonta at once went to the front, and

all three kept together to the turn when both Ross and Ag-
new broke, the latter badly, and Eva went on rive lengths in-
front of Ross who settled down aod trjt'iogsqoately was on

down the stretch he left his feet again and Eva won as she
pleased by two lengths, Aguew just inside the flag. Time,

Second Heal— "Eva sold for $35. to the field S7. Eva went
out half a length in front; Ross broke on the turn and again
at the quarter but drew up to Agnew on the upper turn being
level two lengths behind Eva. All three were driven hard
down the straight, fifty yards home it looked any one's heat,
but Ross broke and Eva respond-d to Chuboyes efforts beat-
ing Agnew an open length. Time, 2:2S.

Third Heat— Eva W. was barred and Ross sold for $10 to

The start was a poor one, Ross S. being a shade in front,
while Agnew was two lengths behind, Ross trotting very fast,
was five lengths in front at the quarter and filing right on
passed the half in 1 :12 with a six leogths lead, Eva second at
tbe three-quarters. Ross was still six lengths to the good and
showing up a trifle won by three open hncths from Agnew,
who passed Eva in the stretch. Time, 2:25.

Fourth Heat— The box was resuscitated and Eva sold tor
$29 to the field $7. They were sent off tbe firBt time, all
three being about level to the turn whure the sulkys collided,
Agnew breaking all topieces was fifty yards behind and never
did fairlv catch thoroughout the heat. Eva had half a length
best of Ross all the way (o the half, when the wheels again
rattled together and both left their feet, Eva catching well
was a length iu front and though Ross dosed the gap in tbe
straight, he broke again about thirty yards from the wire,

Firs', Heat. When the betting finally settled down Creole
was bringing $20 to Fritz $6 and the field $5. Doe delayed
the start for a long while; when the quartette eventually re-
ceived the word Fritz had a little the best of it, but Creole at
once went up to the head. Doc and Wapple broke, dropping
out of tbe hunt, and Creole led Fritz a length all the way,
winning easily by a length and a half, with Doo just inside

Fritz weie a length behind, Doc to the turn, when Doc and
Creole both broke, the latter making a standstill break, was
a hundred and twenty yards behind when he passed the
quarter, with DennisDn sending Fritz on sixty yards in front
of Doc, Creole closed a little, and when he got to the half was
sharpened up going the next quarter in 0:36£ seczmds, and

ST. SATIOE aMIP. GREENBACK,

Tlie Property of Frederic «ebbar*l, Esq., Uuenoe Stock
Farm, Lake Counly, Cal.

It is with a great deal of pleasure that we call the attention
of our readers to the outside cover of the Breeder and
Sportsman this week, as we present them the fac similes of
two of the best thoroughbred horses in tbe country to-day.
As will be seeD, the artist, Mr. E. Wyttenbach, has produced
the very boBt work ever seen in California, and those who
have a chance to compare the pictures with this originals {they
will be exhibited at the State fair) will at once pronounce the
work superior to any heretofore attempted in the United
States in the line of horse portraiture. We tender our con-
gratulations to the artist and trust he may in the future pre-
sent many more of the same kind to our patrons. A note
from Mr. Gebbard, expresses extreme regret that he could
not visit California during the holding of the annual fair,
but there is an assurance that it will not be long ere he ar-
rives, and there is a strong probability that the number of
brood mares, at present on the ranch will be largely added
to.

Jimmy Snowden once told the writer that the only thing
trotters were good for, was to take gentlemen out to tb
course on a race day, and that the heighth of any wealthy
man's ambition Bhould be breed s'ake winners. While not
agreeing with the world renowned jockey about the trotting
proposition, still there is a grest deal of self satisfaction in
breeding a Btake winner, and doubly so when you own both
sire and dam. Mr. Gebhard when he determined to start
the magnificent breeding establishment, which is now one of
the sights of Lake County, began in the right way, by resolv-
ing to have the best bred stallions in the country, no matter
at what cost.

As is well known he had already Eole and St. Savior, the
former of which was killed in the Shoholo Glen disaster, the
latter being saved by nothing short of a miracle, and as it
was deemed necessary to haye another, every farm was
searched to get just what was wanted, The result of the in-
quiries, revealed the fact that imp. Greenback, was by far
and away better than any thing else that money could pur-
chase, so he was at oDce secured for the Guenoc farm. As
will be seen by a glance at the picture he is as near perfection
as it is possible for a horse to be. When the horse was orig-
inally consigned to Mr. Easton, of New York, for sale, judges
pronounced him one of the best ever brought to Amerioa,
for there is not a flaw to be picked with him anywhere. A
rich brown in color, the artist has caught him while the
sun's golden rays were shining on his sleek glossy coat which
adds a peculiar color to any horse seen out of tbe stable. In
going over the ground he has a sort of easy going action,
which might be called "serpentine" as it seems to glide over
the ground. In looks he much resemblea the old pictures
of the mighty "Beeswing," than whom there was no better
mare ever produced in England. He has no bad traits and
is a very gentle stallion. Of his breeding, the following tab-
ulation will give a better idea than if expressed in any other
way.

' Marietta {cSmedy.

A short time ago an account of the Guenoc Stock Farm ap-
peared in these columns and from that we take the following:
Greenback is the son of tbe French Dollar, who was by fly-
ing Dutchman, dam Payment by Slave, Dollar's dam was
the dam of Florin, the sire of Florentin, winner of tin* French
Derby in 1866, and of Mantilla, the champion Frenchtwo-
year-old of 1878. Dollar's merit as a sire is famous, as he got
Salvator, St. Cyr, Peria, Almauza, Nethan, Fontainebleu.Sal-
vanos, Torrent and Androcles. One of his daughters, Nellie
Jame3, produced Jack of Hearts, Jacobus, etc., in Mr. Bel-
mont's stud. Salvator won the Grand#Prixde Paris and French
Derby in 1875, and Salvanos won the Cesarewitch in 1872.
On the side of his dam Greenback is glorious. His dam was
the Duke of Hamilton's great mare Music, the best brood
mare in Eorope. She has foaled Ossian, Fiddler, Song,
Songstress, Nina, Poetry, etc., Nina being one of the bBst
two-year-olds of 1885, winning the ClearweJl, Bretby, and
Homebred. As for Ossian, she won the St. Leger while Fid-
dler beat Fosball for the Alexandria Plate. Music iB adaugh-
ter of Stockwell, from the invincible One Act by Annandale;
3rd dam Extravaganza by Voltaire, etc., gives Greenback an
infusion of Blacklock blood. Greenback was a really good
race horse, winning the Sketchworth Stakes, at Newmarket, as
a two-year-old and the Earl Spencer Plate, at Northampton,
as^a three-year-old. The Peel Handicap, the Queen's Plate
at Ayr, and the Caledonian Cup at the same place, also fell
to his share. He has got several winners, having sired
Greenlight, Green jacket, Greenshank, Greenwave, Green-
horn, etc. He is the only direct representative of Bay Mid-
dleton's male line in America, and will be a grand outcross
for our native mares.

St. Savior is a different type of the thoroughbred, being a
light golden bay, with black leg-* and three white feet. He
is almost, it not quite, 17 hands high, of great muscnlar
power and immense proportions. His weight is nearly 1300
poundB, yet still he does not impress the beholder as being
anything near it, a? there is such a finish to him, that one
only notices the handsome contour and the perfect conforma-
tion, and can hardly imagine when told that he is so heavy.
He is so grandly proportioned that he immediately becomes
a favorite wherever shown, and was the same during his rac-
ing career. And well he repaid his supporters, for he was
never defeated but once, and that in the last race he ever ran,
when he was cut down by Rataplan, and even then he came
in second, on three legs. He was one of the gamest horses
that ever faced a starter, and many a time has he carried the
colors of his owner under the wire first. The mark of the
blow struck by ''Rat" is Btill to be seen on his leg and he
will carry it until his death. Mr. Gebhard has been asked
a great many times to put a price on him, but always refused
as he wanted to save him for stallion service. His breeding
is considered the choicest uf all American strains, co-mingled
as it is, with that of the great Leamington. St. Savior, by
Eolus, he by imp. Leamington; 1st dam War Song, by War
Dance; 2nd dam Eliza Davis, by imp. Knight of St. George;
3rd dam, imp. Melrose, by Melbourne; 4th dam, Clarkie, by
Muley Moloch; 5th dam, Sister to Righton, by Palmerin (Bon
of Amadis, out of our own sister to Orville); 6th dam Oceana,
by Cerberus.

Since the advent of the two stallions into California, they
have had liberal patronage, and alteady many mares are
booked to them for next season; the terms will be the same
as last year, $100, with the privilege of return, if the mare
proves without foal. Every precaution will be taken to
prevent accident or escape, but no responsibility will be as-
sumed, should such occur.

Mares consigned to the Guenoc Stock Farm, St. Helena,
care of St. Helena stables, will receive the best of attention,
Pasturage at $5 per month; stabled and grain feed, (oats and
hay) $10 per month. Mare3 from a distance caa be sem to
the farm to foal and every attention will be given them.

The Guenoc Stock Farm, is beautifully situated in one of
the most lovely valleys imaginable, in which the "mantle of
green" can be seen almost the whole year. Living springs of
water are numerous, and there is plenty of side hill land,
well timbered, which, during the heat of the day is used by
the stock for shelter. Mammoth hams and stables have been
erected by the management, and no expense has been spared
to make it the thorongbbred farm of California, in fact it will
occupy the same position here, that Nantvra or Woodburn
does to Kentucky. The stallions will be Bhown at the Sacra-
mento Fair where our readers will be able lo judge for them-
selves, whether we have exaggerated in our statement of
these noble horses.

C. H. Nelson, owner of Nelson, had an offer of $50,000 for
his horse before the Charter Oak Stake, the bidder stipulat-
ing that $10,000 was to be cut from that figure if the horse
failed to win the event. When Alcryon won the race the
owner of Nelson retired to the stable with tears of mortifica.
tion and regret streaming from his eyes. His loss in money
was not lesB than $30,000, and double that sum would not
have compensated him for the chagrin and disappointment.

Guy Wilkes has now two three-year-olds with records o f
2:18, which are faster than all other three year-old records,
with the single exception of Ax tell 's 2:14, which latter horse
was got by William L., a fnll brother to Guy Wilkes. We
will find anon, remarksHarkComstock, that the great Wilkes
family are not equal, any more than the Hambletonian fami-
ly before them were equal. This pronounced lead which the
full brothers, Guy Wilkes and William L., have secured in
the three-year-old records is a subject worth reflecting up-
on.

for cutting and binding hay. Any height of stubble
dtsired can be cut.

No raking done or needed, hence no dirt is gathered
with the hay. It cures sweetly in the bundle, and
does not bleach nor mould.

The coBt is no greater for the twine uBed in binding
Mista j than for raking in the old way, while the hay ie
gathered and stored more readily, is far handier to
feed in bundles, is less wasteful, and wholly dispen-
ses with baling, while it packs as closely.

This system is no experiment, but has been follow,
ed for several years by some of the

Most Notable Horsemen in
California,

and is continually growing in favor.

We will cheerfully furnish copies of letters written
us, endorsing and recommending this process of cut-
ting hay.

Gentlemen. — I have been shooting some of the twelve-
gauge cartridges you loaded to my order, those sent to Tacoma,
and I must say I never have used a load that so completely fills
the bill. Shooting at chickens the other day, I killed bird after
bird stone dead, all the way from 40 to 60 yards. They crack
like a pistol in my old Parker, and smash a bird down in such
shape, that every one who has seen the combination is simply
amazed. I shot the other day with Mr. Macomber, inventor of
the tin targets, and he simply threw up his hands when he saw
bird after bird tumble at all sorts of distances.

If all who use Standard Cartridges have had the same ex-
perience as mine, it must be a source of great pleasure to you to
hear your shells so highly spoken of. Of course, much depends
on the gun, but no gun can do good work with improperly
loaded shells, while an indifferent one will do tolerably good
work if loaded just right.

Sincerely yours,

STAMBOUL, 2:14 3-4.

The Kineoitlie Moor Fnmliy. Owned by W. S. Hoba
San Francisco.

Some weeks ago we sent word to Hon. L. J. Rose asking if
he would write up a history of Stambonl, feeling confident
that there was no one better qualified to do the subject jus-
tice. The gentleman willingly consented, but, owing to a
press of business, has been compelled to write us at the last
moment the following letter: —

Editor Breeder and Sportsman.— After considering your
request to write about Stamboul for your State Fair number,
I find that I am pretty well wiitten out. It is like wriiing
about an actor without there having been any performance to
eulogize or criticise. But I can refer you to my catalogue,
which gives as eood a history and description as I am able to
give now. There will agaii appear in the near future some
new facts, for Stamboul is now in training to start against
his own record, and judging by his work, he will certainly
beat it. There are very pleasant anticipations that he will
win my wager and trot in 2:12. His first start will be at
Stockton Fair, where, after that performance, a truer line
can be formed of what his possibilities may be.

As a breeder he iB a great success, for every colt is after his
own perfect form, nor is there any deviation in color or gait.
He again, too, follows himself in the gait he imparts to his
colts, and although again like himself, none are phenomenally
fast, but their frictiooless gaits promise future development,
and I believe he will sire some who will even excell him=elf.

This is shooting at a sbiniDg mark, but progress with each
generation has been the history of trotting breeding, and I
can't see why it should not be the rule in his case.

Respectfully, L. J, Ro?e.

Aoting on his suggestion, we have incorporated herewith
the history of the Moor blood as detailed in his catalogue, and
which takes the subject of our sketch up to the spring of
1S88

Stamboul trotted as a 2-year-old in 2:37; as a 3-year-old in
2:26£; as a 4-year-old in 2:23; aB a 5-year-old in 2;17£.

Alcazar trotted as a 2-year-old in 2:294; as a 3-year-old in
2:23; and all this trotting was in hot contests, and at times
against unfair competition by horseB in the race helping
some other horse.

I have often asked myEelf the cause of this phenomenal
success, the reason why all the get of The Moor and his off
spring in the third generation uniformly bIiow good speed
even before training, that this uniformity seems to gather
momentum with each generation, and the great factor in this
problem seems to be the Clay cross in the Moor. This
rises itself in my mind more firmly with each succeeding
year. In subsequent years I bought other stock in Kentucky,
and nearly all I bought were yearlings, and all were trained
up to 3 years old and oiler. First I trained three by Bald
Chief; two by Mambrino Pilot; two by Woodford Mambrino;
two by Peck's Idol; two by Clark Chief; one by Mambrino
Patchen; besides California bred colts by Guy Wilkes, Whip-
ple's Hambletonian, Speculation, Patchen and others. Yet
out of all these I never found one that had as much natural
speed and improved so easily and quickly as the average
produce of The Moor, Sultan or Stamboul, for Stamboul's
Buccess is no longer a belief bnt a reality, as can be seen by
his oldtst colts. Nor am I singular in such experience, as
can be easily seen by looking at the phenomenal success of
George Wilkes out of a Clay mare. Electioneer, again out of a
Clay dam. That these should be by the records by far the
best sons of Hambletonian cannot be a mere accident.

It may be claimed that the majority of record-breaking
youngsters have Clay crosses. The produce of Beautiiul
Bells by Electioneer have three crosses; by Guy Wilkes and
Sable, two crosses; and even the second yearlirg record
Sadie D., has a Clay dam. Then, again, look at the great
broodmares, Green Mountain Maid, Minnehaha and Beautiful
Bells.

Then, again, the greatest Buccess of The Moor was Minne-
haha, whose dam was by Cassius M.Clay, Jr., .mdFleetwin",
whose dam was by George M. Patchen.

Does not this tell a tale that cannot be controverted? It is
not my desire to claim that all good grows from a Clay cross
in a pedigree, but must confess lvalue it more than any other
cross, and believe that the produce of Sultan, or Stamboul, or
Alcazar, and of all their progeny, will become a very great
factor in the future breeding of the trotter. And as far as
the future can be predicted by the very short paBt, this iB as
sure as night follows day.

The breeding of The Moor becomes a matter of Borne mo-
ment to all breeders of the trotter, and it is with much regret
that there is a doubt in my mind about the breeding of The
Moor's dam. When I bought him his breeding was given as
by Clay Pilot, dam Belle of Wabash, by Bassinger— Bassinger
being quite or nearly thoroughbred. That ihe breeding of the
Belle of Wabash (as given by Mr. Geo. C. Stephens, her own.
er) by Bassinger was her true pedigree, left no doubt on my
mind for several reasons: First— there being no object, so
sufficient motive, to give anything else except her true breed-
ing, especially when it U remembered that the new version of
the breeding of the Belle of Wabash, by Mr. Wallace, in his
Trotting Register (Copperbottom and Morgan), is a much bet-
ter trotting pedigree for a brood mare than the running-bred
horse Bassinger. Second, Mr. Williams, yet residing in
Stockton, California, but formerly from Indiana, where Belle
of Wabash was raised, and was trained by him for Borne length
of time, for he drove her in all or most of her races, besides
worked for the man who owned, claimed and bred her (a
Mr. Wissiger, who also owned BasBinger, her claimed sire)
ulso claims that she was by BaBsinger. Unfortunately, Mr.
Wissiger is dead, bat that such a man m Mr. Williams, who
has been a trainer and horseman all his life— and it is yet his

occupation— should claim this as by his own personal knowl-
edge to be true, and. having no direct or indirect interest what-
ever either for or against this matter, being a man free from
theories or hobbies, and believing that trotting breeding is
Ibe best for trotting race horses, and accounting for the
flightineas and hot-headednees of the Belle of Wabash in
races on account of her running breeding — should say that
she is by Bassinger, when the facts are otherwise, is hard to
believe. And third, the greatest stumbling block to me is the
form of the mare.

She was a black mare, about 16 hands high, a long, and
might be termed a leggy mure. Her coat of hair was very
short and tine, no hair about her fetlocks, her feet rather
small for her size, and legs clean and rather deer-like, that is
Bmall and tine; her neck long and slim, and her head of pe-
culiar fullnePB and roundness about the forehead and not
very broad, tapering in from Bides and back, almost making
a dish pro6ie; and a fineness of muzzle, lips and nostrils that
I can't imagine as ever belonging to a Morgan or Copperbot-
tom horse— at least I never bqw snch a type belonging to
either family, or any trotting family, pure and simple; but
have ever seen such forms in thoroughbreds or their imme-
diate part-bred descendants, and have never Been it in any
other breed of horses. For myself, I would prefer the pedi-
gree as given by Mr. Wallace, and I know that the pedigree,
as given by him, is not without careful inquiry, and hii hon-
est conviction. But to "err is human," and his informant
may have mixed up this mare with some other. At any rate,
either Mr. Williams or Mr. Wallace's informant is mistaken,
and although I have seen Mr. Williams repeatedly and talked
the matter over with him, also telling him about the new ver-
sion of the Belle of Wabash's pedigree, yet he has never been
shaken or varied his story. Then, too, the form of the mare
I have critically examined, and I may claim much experience
in thoroughbred types ofjhorses, for I have owned them and
raced them. All this makes it almost impossible to consent to
accept, without doubt, the better pedigree, if you please, and
go against all evidence as known and seen by myself. There
is, however, one important agreement, that is: that Belle was
a mare of more than ordinary capacity as a trotter, and no
doubt the most important factor in this transmitting power
of breeding on with increased morrentum is contained in the
pedigree of Clay Pilot, or the Clay and Pilot cross, both
remarkable in their prepotency. Yet there is another quality
which, experience teacheB me, is not so uniform as the dispo-
sition to trot in the Clays, and that the dam has a m irked
influence on that quality, that is, endurance, game, staying
qualities. I may claim that Beautiful Belle, Alcazar and
others of the get of Sultan had that quality to a very marked
degree; in fact, I never Baw the gameness possessed by Al-
cazar equalled, for he can trot a sixth heat faster than a first
In all his races, and some very trying and severe ones, I
never saw him scarcely open his nostrils. For this reason it
becomes an interesting inquiry where his gimeness comes
from. That it comes from the Belle of Wahash, is a reason-
able certainty; for Clay Pilot was noted for his Bpeed, but
not for his gameness, whereas Belle of Wabash had the repu-
tation of no road being too long for her. She started in a 10-
mile race with Gipsy Queen and Capt. McGowan, but was
withdrawn at the end of the seventh mile, not by reason of
being tired, but for the reason that it was dangerous to win
the race, on account of a rough element present that had bet-
heavily on the race.

I am a believer in trotting pedigrees, and have had no suc-
oess with high-bred or thoroughbred crosses; but I know,
too, that such is not the universal experience; for instance^
Echo, a son of Hambletonian, never had any marked success
except on running-bred dams, Bell Echo's dam was by Bel.
mont, (California); Echo's dam was by Jack Hawkius; Annie
Laurie was by TenBroeok, a thoroughbred; Joe Hamilton and
his brother's dam were by Belmont, (California); Gibraltar's
dam was by Owen Dale.

While I am a believer in trotting pedigrees, on the other
hand I remember, too, that the fastest mare, geldiDg and
stallion, are close to the thoroughbred. When the compari-
son is made^between the crossing of the greyhound and the
pointer, or the hound and the pointer, the comparison is not
a fair one; for it is a fact that the thoroughbred has two valu-
able qualities to a greater degree than any other bred horse in
the world, which qualities are desired and very much desired
in the trotters, namely: the power of enduring longer at high
rate of speed and the power of speed, although at a different
gait; whereas the greyhound or the foxhound has no quality
whatever desired by the pointer.

As parties buying colts are ever desiring further informa-
tion, it may not be out of place here to give the method of
working my colts. Thus each one for himself can see what
amount and kind of work such colts as they buy from me
have bad. The first handling a colt receives is at weaning
time, and they are weaned when about six or seven months
old. We then teach them to lead, to be curried and brushed
to have their feet picked up and raBped to an even bearing,
also to be bridled, to have harness on, and work double by
the Bide of a gentle horse, say five or six times. During this
time they sue fed grain (cracked barley) and alfalfa hay
This takes about two months, when they are turned out on
green alfalfa and left to run for one year, or to the first of
January, and when two years old. While they run out on
pasture neither the colts nor dams are fed any grain, both
remaining sleek and fat on green pasture, generally alfalfa.

When taken up in January, ij their two-year-old form,
they are broken to sinele harness, and given short but lively
work, and we get as much trot into them as possible. This
takes about four months, when they are ready for sale, and

if not sold, again turned out to pasture. I do not, however,
intend to keep oyer any colts, except for racing pmposeB,
after they are two years old, and expect to have yearly auc-
tion sales, probably in New York City, and sell all the two-
yar-olds on band, and will begin by having my first sale in
the spring of 1889.

This formula of raising and training I do not give as per-
haps the best way, although it has my approval, and gives
the best results with the minimum of expense and work.

If this is done with judgment, not working the colts too
long at a time, always stopping before they feel tired or dull,
then it is a benefit to them, and gets them gentle and an
amount of desire to trot into them, which is never forgotten,
and will be found in each succeeding year with intensified
desire and speed.

This also tits in with the work of a breeding and training
farm in California, such as mine, and makes contiuual em-
ployment for the men.

Gentling the weanlings takes from October to the 5rst of
January; training two-year-olds until the first of May, and
training the older horses and attending the fairs and race
meetings until October.

This is my firBt catalogue, and even now and for a year yet
I would not require any; but as there is much inquiry I in-
dalge myself in the luxury in order to meet the wishes of the
public. The reason, though none is required by me, is that
I am making a new beginning with two new stallions, and I
have nothing yet to show of their get, except their own rec-
ords, and although records are a very large factor in gaining
the favor of the public, yet to have the greatest benefit the
performance of their offspring must be shewn. I have some
small prospects of doing this the coming year, for I have one
three-year-old and two two-year-old* by Stamboul, and ah;
are trotters, but this is a small number to rely od in this colt
record breaking country. I have fourteen weanling Stam-
bouls and nine weanling Alcazars, and, as I wish to be
prepared in the future, will not, therefore, offer any of these
for sale until a year hence. There are some half a dozen
Sultans, and these are what I reserved as the best for race
horses that I would Bell; but I am so far from the market
that there are but few horsemen who ever see them, which
makes it difficult to sell, for description and writing are very
unsatisfactory. For this reason T will have to relv on annual
auction sales, and although I may not get the highest possi-
ble price, will not have bo ready a market as breeders in
Kentucky, yet'will rely on the fact that I can raise them
cheaper, and, by trying for the best, will hope to both make
reputation and profit.

Formerly I was much engaged in fruit-growing and wine-
making. This I have sold, and'now I can give more time to
the horse, which has never been a task, but a labor of love.
I now have aided largely to my brood mares, and sold some
that were not fashionably bred, and a look through this cat-
alogue will convince one of what I may claim — that I am
keeping fully abreast in the most fashionable blood for my
mares. For my two stallions, Alcazar (with three-year-old
record of 2:23), out of that remarkable mare Minnehaha, with
four in the 2:30 class and more coming, and with her daugh-
ter, Beautiful Bells, the most remarkable brood mare for her
years, m^kes Alcazar without a better.

Then Stamboul with his royal breeding and bis five-year-
old record of 2:17£ under adverse conditions, this being the
second best record for a five-year-old stallion ever made, and
both of these stallions are sound, kind, stylish, and both will
better their records this year.

Then, too, both of these stallions are from producing lines,
with eaoh generation being an improvement on the former.
Wbo can say that he has two better or even their equal?

In order to show their true form and looks, and to make
this a certainty, I have taken their photographs, and these
outs, or rather artotypes, are printed from photographs, and
are facsimiles of the horses as the buu reflected them on the
camera. This gives no opportunity of toning down d°fectn
or emphasizing fine points, but gives the "naked truth." and
nut perhaps in such harmonious proportion as an expert
artist would do, for it is a faot that a camera enlarges the
nearest part at the expense of that farthest away.

Both stallions are dark bays. 15 3 bands high; Alcazar
weighs 1030 pounds (weighed February 1, 1S88), Stamboul
1120 pounds.

In looking over what has been said, it sounds like boasting,
as if I were tooting my own horn rather loudly, and yet
something in that way may be overlooked by the reader when
it is remembered that I bred and made these two stallions
under my own supervision, and that both of them rank with
the best, and I can't see how I could say less and tell it as I
believe it. My success aB a breeder does not indicate that I
have cheated myself by any unwarrantably high opinion of
my stock. L. J. Rose.

Los Angeles, Cal.

As a six-year-old he started eight times, and fully verified
Mr, Rose's predictions. On August 8th he made his first ap-
pearance for the year at Los Angeles, when he defeated Arab
in three straight heats in 2:15, 2:17£ and 2.16^. We next hear
of him at Oakland on the 27th of the same month, where he
recevied second money, winning the second and third heats
against Guy Wilkes and Woodnut, the former winning the
race. He uext appeared at the s^ate fair, but could get no bet-
ter than third place to Guy Wilkes and WoodnuC the latter
winning. At Stockton September 21st he met Arab and Lot .
Slocurn, but only won tho second heat in 2:153, the honors
going to Arab. At Sau Jose be'again proved too much for
Stamboul, four heats being trotted in 2:15, 2:16, 2:16 and
2:169, the son of Sultan winning the third heat The Na-
tional Stallion Stake which came off October 20th had only
three starters, Stamboul, Woodnut and Antevolo. Wood-
cut won the fir=t heat in 2:17, but the next three fell to
Stamboul in 2:17, 2:17J, 2:17. On October 24th he was
started to beat his record of 2:15 and accomplished the trick
making bis present record of 2:14jJ, be was again started on
October 27th to beat that time, but the scythe bearer was
victor, 2:15^ being his best effort. From this succsesion of
races it will be seen that be is a dead game horse and
possessed of extraordinary speed, and tbo=e who know him
best olaim that he will surely trot in 2:12 before (he end of
this season. In the spring of thi* i ear Mr. W. S. Hobart'
of San Francisco, purchased the stallion from Mr. Rose, there
being at the time two offers for him from Eastern gentleman,
but Hobart with a feeling of State of- pride, bought him so
that Californians might still be able to say that "we own the
best stallion ic the country,"

ELECTIONEER.

TIi e Noble Animal tliat Stands at tlie Head oi the Great
Living Slfps of To-day.

Senator Leland Stanford has had horses for many years,
and has always had a great love for the equine race. There
are many who buy and keep horses because it is fashionable,
or because they become rich and follow in the footsteps of
other wealthy men and take to horses the same as they
would to any other fad. Prior to 1S76, when the first of the
Palo Alto possessions were obtained, the nucleus of what is
now the greatest breeding farm in the world, was kept on a
ranch on the Sacramento River, while the Governor {as he
was then called) was preparing the home for them, which
has since become celebrated from the Atlantic to the Pacific;
in fact, one might say from one end of the world to the other.
Immediately on the completion of the original Palo Alto, for
much has been added to it Bince, the proprietor began looking
for a stallion to mate with a large number of mares which he
had already accumulated. A trip was taken East and a visit
paid to the breeding establishment of Mr. Backman at Stony-
ford, New York State. Accompanied by friends, the would-
be parchaser looked over all the desirable stallions for sale at
the farm, and much against the advice of those present he
selected Electioneer and paid for him the good round figure
of $12,500, which in 1877 "was considered a fabulous sum.
There was already quartered at the Sacramento ranch the
well-known entire, Monroe Chief and also Gen. Benton, both
of whom for some time after the arrival of Electioneer were
considered to outrank him for pride of place. But it was
not long that he occupied a secondary position for Fred
Crocker, 2:25}, as a two-year-old, burst forth on the trotting
horizon and electrified the country with his great perform-
ance. Then it was that the eye of every breeder in the
United States was turned toward Palo Alto. Electioneer had
been offered to a great many gentlemen who desired 6rst-class
stallions, but each and all refused him, until the California
millionaire saw and knew at once what a gem had gone beg-
gine for want of proper appreciation on the part of those who
had in the past examined him.

There is an idea prevalent among those who do not know
the gentleman personally that Mr. Stanford is no jadge of
horse flesh, and that he is simply a wonderfully lucky man
in being able to prodoce so many trotting marvels from Palo
Alto. And yet that is the height of ignorance, for it is doubt-
ful if there be a better jadge of a horse in the State than the
owner of E'ectioneer. He seems to take in at a glance all
the good points, and has an equally keen eye for the slight-
est blemish or imperfection. Can it be wondered at tbac
when his would be advisers wished him to purchase Messen-
ger Duroc, that he saw at once where the blood lines of the
half brother were far preferable to those of the son of Ham-
bletonian 10 and old Satinet? And as he rarely errs in pass-
ing judgment on a trctter, his opinion in the present case was
far superior to those who thought they knew more than he
did. It is true that the great roll of honor sbowB a long list
to the credit of Messenger Duroc, but almost nothing when
compared with that of the premier of Palo AT.o. There are
many who speak his name almost every day, yet little know
what he is like. Oo the circuit the name of Electioneer is
heard continuously, yet still there are comparatively few who
have seen the noble animal that stands as the head of the
great liviog sires of to-day.

Electioneer, at the good ripe age of twenty-one, still retains
those qualities which compose the model American trotter.

The grand and immense development of his hind quarters
is balanced by a large, clearly cut, and thoroughly refined
head, borne on a strong and well formed neck. His full
brown color and the great breadth between his eyeB Bpeak
volumes for his disposition. His magnificently rounded body
Bhows that lungs and digestive organs have reached that high
standard which is bo valuable in an animal whose greatest
qualification is the transmission of speed and endurance, for
lne constitution of the colt does not depend upon that of
the mother alone.

Sunol, whose two-year-old record in 2:18 has hindquar-
ters fully 2i inches higher than the fore; this gives her a grey-
hound like form, and a most beautiful and perfect one Bhe
has. Her mother Waxana is the daughter of Gen. Benton,
many of whose produce reached the "thirty's," notably Sallie
Benton 2:17|, scored as a four-vear-old.

Electioneers neck and shoulders are very good, bearing
well his fine, spirited head, and massive body respectively.
Many of his progeny have thiB head, neck and Bhonlders,
their quarters are not so highly developed. There is a young-
er brother of Snnol'a, which will com6 very near it, however.
The following list of those which have reached the 2:30 class,
will give our readers an idea of their number and speed.
There are a number of others on trial this year. We give the
list up to December of last year:

Peruvian Bitters, b g, dam Nelly Walker, by Thorndale (?) 2:23^

37 trotters — 1 pacer

The following of his get have gone into the 2:30 list since
the rirst of January:

Commotion 2:30

Emaline 2:274

Del Mar, two-year-old 2:^'0

Pedlar, two-year-old 2:27.1

Hattie D , three-year-old 2:26t

Campbell's Electioneer, three-year-old 2:224

Norval 2:171

Electioneer came to California in 1877. The yearly record
of mares served and colts dropped will make an excellent
supplement to the above:

In 187B from ten mares bred 7 foais

In 1879 from 30 mares bred 21 foaia

In 1880 from 19 mares bred 16 foal**

In 1881 from 43 mares bred 23 foais

In 1882 from 69 mares bred 40 foais

In 1883 from 67 mares bred 32 foals

In 1884 from 60 mares bred 37 foals

In 1885 from 50 mares bred 35 foals

In 1886 from 52 mares bred 38 foals

In J8»7 from 58 mares bred 33 foals

In 1888 from 71 mares bred 37 foals

As speed producers there is but little doubt but that most
of the colt and aged trotters which have found, and will find,
their way to other stables will never disappoint their owners.
Electioneers own blood lines are as follows: By Kysdyk's
Hambletonian, out of Green Mountain Maid'. One of his

youngsters brought last year $12,000, and another Bon, Elec.
trie Bell, brought $12,500 at nine .months old. These two
cases are sufficient of themselves to show the esteem in which
the public holds the blood of Green Mountain Maid.

No year has passed^in which Electioneer has failed to add
freBh laurels to his owner, to Mr. Charles Marvin and to his
own record. In 1883 the grand performance of Sunol fol-
lowed Norlain's (1887) yearling record of 2:31, the best so far
recorded. In the preceeding year Manzanita placed the rec-
ord for four-year-olds at 2:16. Bonita was the first to, trot
2:18$ as a four-year-old some years previously. The three-
year-old championship was held by Hinda Rose for a length
of time — 2:19A. Wildflower's record as a two-year-old, 2:21,
remained the best in the world until reduced by her half sis-
ter, Sunol, last year.

There is no telling where the great speed producing lines
of the Electioneer family will stop. It is not only that his
own progeny are fleet of foot, but the examples shown by the
sons of Anteeo at Napa and Santa Rosa stamp the great sire
as a perpetuator of speed for generations to come.

"When Redwood made his winning mark, 2:24, at Napa,
Orrin A. Hickok, the celebrated driver, made the remark that
he had never sat behind a gamier horse. The writer saw
still another son of Anteeo, Alfred G., make a record for him-
self of 2:23£ at Santa Rosa, and after that race, Mr. Dnstin,
who drove him, said that 2:20 would be no mark for him
with a little more work. The same afternoon, Wanda, a
daughter of Eros, 2:27, placed a credit to her name of 2:24,
and it was clearly discernable to the veriest novice that she
was in no condition for fast work. Elector, owoed by Mr.
Richards of Grayson, Stanislaus County, haa also ft lot of
grandsons and grandaughters which only require handling to
place them in the list. "Writing of this horse brings to mind
a remark mane by a well known horseman who lately paid a
visit to the farm of Mr. Richards, and on his return he ven-
tured the assertion that there were twenty colts at that breed,
ing establishment fit to go into the record book. These are
only isolated ca^es, for it can truthfully be said that every
son of Electioneer produces speed.

Some years ago Norval, the sire of Norlaine, was thrown
out of work at Palo Alto, and relegated to the stud, as it was
considered that his racing days were over. This spring he
was sold to Col. Pepper of Lexington, Ky., who it seems put
him in training, and less than thirty davs ago he won a race
in straight heats, making a record for himself in 2:21. Is it
to be wondered at that the blood of Electioneer is eagerly
sought for, not only by the breeders of California, but of the
whole United States? The fact is at last recognized that the
Electioneers "breed on," and whenever one of his get is
offered for sale they are bid for with avidity. Palo Alto has
done more to draw the attention of Eistern breeders to Cali-
fornia than any other institution of its kind, but it could
hardly have been the great success attained without the ser-
vices of the son of Rysdyk's HainbletoDiau and Green
Mountain Maid. As a fitting conclusion to this article the
following taken from the Breeders Gazette shows what is
thought of Electioneer blood, away from California.

Whether or not Sunol, 2:18, as a two-year-old, is in shape
this season for a race against the three-year-old mark of 2:14
set by Axtell is es yet uncertain. It will be remembered that
several weeks ago there was a runor to the effect that the
great youn? daughter of Electioneer had gone wrong in her
work and would n )t be trained further this season, bat this
was at once contradict 1 by Marvin, who said that op to that
time he had given her no fa-it miles nor even quarters.
About two weeks ag> it wa^ given out from Palo Alto that
Sunol had been driven a mile in 2:21 anl some enthusiastic
individual added to this that the hut quarter was done in 31
seconds, which was very goo3, if true. But since then there

has been a chance for Sunol to trot in her class at the Napa,
(Cal.) meeting which she did not improve. In the stake for
three-year-olds at that meeting Bhe would have had as an op.
ponent Lillian Wilkes, a daughter of Guy Wilkes, 2:15$, and
Flora Langford. It was pretty well established that this filly
could beat 2:20, but as Sunol had gone in 2:18 as a two-year,
old it was not thought she would decline the contest. This
was exactly what was done on her behalf, however, Marvin
Btating that the Palo Alto filly was not in shape. Lillian
Wilkes, therefore, had a walk-over for the stakes, but in or-
der that she might have a good mark as a brood mare hi case
anything happened, and also to boom her sire, Lillian was
driven the mile in 2:18 flat by John Goldsmith, thus equal-
ing the beBt previous three-3fear-old record, except that of
Axtell, and giving her sire two in the 2:20 list at that age. It
was thought a wonderful thing a few years ago when Hinda
Rose beat 2:20 at three years, and when Patron joined her in
the honor those two were a class by i themselves, only to be
succeeded by Sable Wilkes with his mark of 2:18. This
season three colts have at three years beaten 2:20, they being
Axtell, 2:14, Lillian Wilkes 2:18.. and Allerton 2:18} in the
third heat of a race. It may be within the possibilities for
Sunol to equal the 2:14 of Axtell, but it should not be for-
gotten that the Iowa wonder is very liable to do it himself,
much more so in fact, than is Sunol.

The other fast record obtained by a stallion last week was
tbe2:17£of Norval, and it was even more sensational than
that of Bonnie McGregor, since the previous mark of 2:16 ob"
tinned by the last-Darned horse was proof of his extreme speed,
while in the case of Norval there was not until recently any
knowledge uf such capacity. Norval will be remembered as
the son of Electioneer th*t Bired Norlaine the yearling Ally
whose record of 2:3U at the age named is the best. This
record by Norlaine was obtained in 1S87, and it at once drew
attention to her sire as the first son of Electioneer to become
conspicuous in the breeding ranks. At the time Norval was
bred to Elaine, a daughter of Messenger Duroc with a 2:20
record, he was but three years old having been foaled in 1882,
and while the dam of Norlain was a remarkably well-bred
mare on her dam's side, as well as a fast trotter herself, it
was considered a great thing that a three year old stallion
should sire the fastest yearling trotter in the woild. Nor-
laine's destruction by fire before she was trained as a two-
year-old prevented her sire's name from being kept before
the public by further performance on her part, but his blood
lin<-s were of the right kind, his dam beiDg Norma by Alex-
ander's Norman, and as the Electioneer boom was "on" Sena-
tor Stanford found no difficulty in selling him last winter for
$15,000 to a Kentucky breeder with enterprise and judgment.
After Norval had made his season in the stud he was taken
in hand by the trainer of the establishment, George Hayest
and very soon showed such speed that it was evident he
would enter the 2:30 list at the first time of asking. But
2:30 was no clip for the son of Electioneer, once he was
straightened away, and then 2:20 was the mark. At the Mays-
vllle meeting week before last he betit 2:20 in his firat start,
trotting one of his heats in 2:191, and then came the perfor-
mance at Lexington last week, where in the third heat of the
2:40 he distanced all but one of his competitors in 2:171, the
previous heat having been done in 2:29$, 2:26}. Noival is
now seven years old, and as the Bire of the fastest yearling
added to a record better than 2:20 for himself, his prospect
are indeed bright.

The following is his pedigree:

The Frazier Patent Axle.

The crowning excellence of the Frazier Balky is iu its stiff-
ened axle. It has the mist rigid and ntibendiug axle yet put
into a sulky, and on the quality of the axle the success of
any modern shaped sulky must largely depend. It has also
another great advantage in that it has wheels interchang* a-
ble. Every lime yon oil the sulky change the wheals. They
will wear much longer, as every driver knows, and if a wheel
gets injured in a collision it can be changed to that side of the
sulky for the oext heat where the strain is least. Mr. Ames,
the representative of the Messrs. Studel.il if,

will be pleased to furnish any further h
them. We commend the advertisement of U the

attention of our readers.

Frank Morgan, the well known carriage stallion, will be
Bold at Sacrameuto Tuesday, Sept. 17th, by Killip & Co.

An attempt will be made to buy the running quantities of
El Rio Rey for nest year, by a prominent Eistern horseman.

Strideaway is now owned by T. H. French. Once the
horse was cut loose lrom dicker he began to win.

Remember the Breeder and Sportsman' Futurity Stake
6hoold have an entry from every farm in the State.

Several breeders havs made offer for Jim McDonalds Briga-
dier mare (Fedora). She is moving well at Sacramento.

Aubine (2:20^) is now in Badd Doble's hands. Barring
accidents she is" liable to get down close to Belle Hamlm's
record of 2:12$.

The sis furlong conrse at Sheapshead Bay, where a number
of fast "three-quarters" have been made lately, is about 50

Dan Dennison has taken down first money twice the last
fortnight with Rabe without taking him out of the stable — a
pretty useful horse to have.

H. M. JohnsoD, of Los Angeles will take a lot of choice
youngsters East very soon to offer them at Woodard's Octo-

Alcryon (2:16$) was bought by his present owner, A. L.
Noble, of Michigan, for $700 when seven months. He has
lost the sight of his right eye.

Homestake on Tuesday afternoon at Sacramento, worked
an easy mile in 2:28A, earlier in the day Marvin drove Pedlar
in 2:23 with a runner alongside.

Mr. Laird, formerly connected with Palo Alto as one of the
drivers at that establishment, has gone East to drive Susie
S., the mare that is expected to beat Alcryon.

In reporting the Petaluma races last week, a typographical
error caused us to give the time cf the last heat, in the three

The handsome pictures draw large crowds and the booth is
continuously thronged.

Another of the get of Elmo has gone into the 2:30 list.
Pasha, at Marysville, performed the trick in an easy manner.
As St Nicholas is out of Towhead by Elmo, John Rowen is
correspondingly happy.

Old John Moore has an oldfa6hioned but pretty speedy
horse in his namesake, who is a full brother to the Adam's
mare, and if his hat had not bothered him, might have beat-
en Johnny Allen at MaryBville.

Wapple was 6hod with tips behind, winning a good race
in them at Chico. After losing at Marysville, they were tak-
en off and shoes put on, but the horse was dead off and was
distanced the first heat on Saturday.

It is currently rumored in racing circles, that the gentle-
men who own Alfred G. have refused a very large offer for
him. He is one of the best youngsters seen in many a day
and should be worth a lot of money.

Golden Gate Livery and Riding Academy.

Pre-eminently the leading and pioneer liverman and gener-

I al horseman on the Pacific Coast is C. S. Crittenden. His

aim has always been to keep pace with the times and to bring

J to the aid of intelligent workmen all modern appliances that

, his judgment and experience suggeBt as means to the end of

I thoroughly providing for the wants of not only his horses,

and those entrusted to bis care, but to have the welfare and

| style of his patrons receive a like attention. At all of the

j sales of tine horses the well-known face of Mr. Crittenden is

seen, and when not buying for himself he is universally con

i suited by would-be buyers as to the advisability of this or

I that purchase, as it is generally conceded that he is one of

. the best judges of the points of a horse in the city. In his

vast establishment he has no horses that do not excel in the

particular line tor which they are kept. In this, his new

I venture, he has done the one great act of his life and realized

a dream conceived years ago of having the best and most

! complete livery stable in the United States.

From a visit paid to the stables by our reporter we learn
that in his opinion it not only compares favorably with the
largest and best in the East, but in his judgment, taking it in
its entirety it stands in the front rank of all similar estab-
lishments in this or any other county. The following de-
scription, published in one of our dailies, will give the reader
some idea of the immensity and perfection of what is justly
termed the perfection of a livery stable and riding academy
combined.

The building is S2 by 1274- feet, four stories and basement.
The front, which is of pressed brick with trimmings of San
Jose sandstone, presents » handsome architectural appear-
ance. The interior finishing is in keeping with the attractive
exterior. The spacious entrance, the office, toilet rooms,
harness and saddle rooms are all finished and ceiled in Ore-
gon pine, trimmed with stained redwood in the natural
grain, and made brilliant with varnish. The office will be
fitted up as handsomely as a parlor, with new Brussels car-
pet, elegant mantelpiece, solid antique oak furniture and
with pictures. A ladies' dressing room, fitted with lavatories,
etc.. will be a great convenience to ladies after a dusty drive.
Back of this is a large room expressly for saddles. On the
other side of the main passage is a gentlemen's dressing
room. It will be seen that Mr. Crittenden has arranged every
thing in the most modern fashion for the comfort and con-
venience of patrons.

The second floor is reached by a "horse stairway" which
consists of an incline carpeted with thick rubber. This is
expensive, but it makes it impossible for horses to slip or fall
in ascending or descending. The flooring of the second story
is three inches thick and thoroughly corked. The stalls, S2
in number, are models of convenience. The sides are built
of two-inch Oregon pine. In one corner of each is a galvan-
ized iron feed trough, in another corner a wa'er trough of the
same material, each supplied by water pipe and faucet. Each
stall is furnished with a patent compressed salt roll. On the
same floor are sixteen large box stalls for pampered, aristo-
cratic horses. All of these have already been let to owners
of private teams. The floor inolines toward the center both
ways, at a slight angle, thus insuring perfect drainage.

No expense has been spared to make the entire building as
solid and safe as possible. Every part of the structure is
made of the best material, with extra thick walls and floors.
There are fire plugs, Btand pipes and hose reels on every
floor. There will be from 4 to 16 men about the place night
and day, besides a night watchman.

His new stables are admirably located, being on Golden
Gate Avenue, the main driveway to the park, half a block
from the junction of Market, Sixth and Taylor Streets, and
close to all the leading cable lines.

Adrian "Wilkes, Electioneer, and Guy Wilkes are the only
stallions living atthe present time having two three-year olds
to their credit in the 2:30 list. Electioneer is a trifle ahead,
as his two-year-old daughter, Sunol, has a record of 2:18.

It is rather absurd trotting a race at night, and yet it was
nearly so in the Allarita race at Marysville. The judges had
to send for candles to read the rules directly after the heat,
in which, of course, there was a complaint of running.

Bonnie McGregor now holds the fastest record of any stal-
lion living, having reduced his to 2:13£ in Kentucky last
week. He is by Robert McGregor (2:27J), by Major Edsall
(2:29), of son Alexander's Abdallab. His dam was by Recon-
struction (2:24|), by Vermont Boy, by French Charley.

Jack Cochrane thinks he is in hard luck. He got bis sulky
smashed up, and then his mare is given a record of 2:26^
and shown up— for what— $200 possibly, as there was not
much betting. She will bear watching, though, as she has
not shown her best.

If there are any gentlemen who desire to send horses
back East between September 25th and 28th, they can hear
of an excellent opportunity by sending early notice to this
office. This is a splendid chance, and should not be neglec-
ted.

On Monday, Henry Walsh took all the conceit out of Sac-
amento, bv sending Racine six furlongs on the inside track
in 1:18.}. The colt only seemed to be exercising, while sev-
eral local youngsters had to be ridden out to get round in
1:20. Peel went the same distance in 1:174-.

Nutwood has two more in the thirty list, Rose S and Red-
wood, since the fairs started. The la'ter has returned to
Pleasanton, and will ba given a rest. E?a W, his sister, will
go to Sacramento, Stockton and San Jose, and should lower
her record a notch or two at one of the meetings.

I did not have time to get shaved, prior to starting for
Oakland on Friday last, and when I visited the shop of the
track barher, found he had shut up the tent, having bought
a ticket on Hello, with which he was fortunate enough to
make a weeks wages. Lucky barber.

Instantaneous photography has recently been used to re-
cord the true positions of birds, at the moment of being
struck by shot. The revelations of the camera are as much
of a blow to preconceived notions in this matter, as in the
case of those which formerly prevailed in regard to animals
in motion. But few of these photographs have so far been
made. The difficulties are many and hard to overcome. In
the near future, however, sportsmen and urtiBts will have
the opportunity in studyiog them, to learn how completely
at fault they have been in their conception of the attitudes
of birds when wounded, or at the instant of the shock of
death.

Colton Scores.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I enclose the scores of

To Sportsmen frcm the Fish Commission.

The Fish Commission sends the following letter for pub-
liction: Sportsmen should meet the desire of the commis-
sion squarely and indicate the game birds preferred. The
offer of the Commission is a most generous one and infinitely
creditable to that body.
To the various Gun Clubs and to all Sportsmen of the State:

The Fish Commissioners of the State of California are by
an Act of the Legislators, approved March 16, 1889, charged
with the duty of importing into the State various game birds
for propagation. Among these are wild turkeys, prairie
chickens, quails, pheasants, and other well-known game
birds. For the purposes of the law, the sum of $2000
is appropriated by the Legislature, to be used by the
State Board of Fish Commissioners in defraying the costs
incidental to said importation.

The birds, when procured, will be distributed throoghtout
the State in 6uch quantities and to such localities as from
their best information may, to the Board, seem proper. And
for the purpose of obtaining this information, the officers of
all gun clubs and other spoiting associations, as well as all
individuals feeling an interest in the objects of this scheme
to stock the State with game birds non-existent here, are
respectfully invited to correspond with the State Board of
Fisn Commissioners, P. O. Box 327, Sacramento, Cal., and
offer such suggestions as they deem best touching any matters
relating to this subject. Like suggestions are also invited
from the press of this and other States, to the end that this
lau dable endeavor of the Legislature mcy be made entirely
successful.

The regular monthly meeting will be held at the State Cap-
itol, Sacramento, on Tuesday, September 17, 1889, at which
time representatives of the clubs and others interested are
invited to meet with the Board for consultation on this snb-
jecc. Respectfully,

Joseph Routier,
J. Downey Harvey,
State Board of Fisn Commissioners.

Ed itor Breeder and Sportsman: — I believe I can report
the first snipe of the season. Mr. Z. Job, President of Corvallis
Rod and Gun Club, bagged two Wilson snipe on the mud
flats of a small pond near tcwn. Several others were seen
feeding amoDg the cow lily pads. C. A. Loud.

A Day Among the Blue Grouse in Oregon-

The writer, in ccrrpEny witl O. MtClfgtn. one of Coival
lis' crack shots, ard bis staunch eld pointer Spot and Borneo
the writer's Llewellin setter, left Corval.'is on Friday morniDg
for the foothills. We are obliged to go in the hills now to
find the grouse, as the Mongolian pheasants have driven them
from the valleys. After a drive of about ten miles, we pull-
ed up at the cabin of a bachelor friend, unhitched our horse,
dormed our hunting coats, well rilled with shells loaded with
3} drachms of wood powder and one ounce No. 8 shot. We
sallied forth to the battlefield among the ferns and oaks. We
had not gone far when old Sport begau to show signs of
game, when Romeo came up, and the sight would please the
heart of any sportsman; both dogs stood rigid when we
stepped in, and up went a brace of grouse. The first to shoot
made a clean miss, the next slobbered his bird and he got
away and could not be found in tbe thick cover.

"Well, Mac," I said, "this will not do, old boy, the dogs
did better work than we." A few hundred yards further en
old Romeo stiffened up and was well backed by Sport, and
in this covey of six five went to grass and were all finely re-
trieved. The ball was fairly opened, and we found several
fine coveys; the birds were not wild, and they laid well to
the dog. Ab we were passing beside a small point of thick
cover, Romeo made game, when up flushed four birds. Mac
was the first to pull trigger with both barrelB.followed closely
by the writer, and four tine grouse lay dead in the ferns, and
we each scored a double; at tbe same time we marked a large
covey down about two hundred yards off' among the low
ferns, and we were soon amorg them, and such work by two
dogs for the next hour could not be beaten. It was point
and back, and while tbe dogs were doing such tine work the
shooters were also having good luck, and only one bird out
of nineteen was seen to get away. After this cleau-up we re-
turned to the cabin, made a pot of coffee, and cooked our-
selves a lunch, and took a good rest until 4 o'clock, when we
took a long hard hunt with poor success, only bagging seven
birds. We could not seem to find tbem, aDd the biid& we
bagged were scattering ones, so we returned to the cabin tir-
ed and footsore, but happy over the day's sport, and in
counting our bags we found forty-five grouse. We soon bad
all traps stowed away in the wagon with plenty of room for
Spot aud Romeo. Mac and tbe writer pulled out for home,
which we reached at 8 o'clock all U. K.

Corvallis, Or., Sept. 1st. C. A Lorn.

T.E.Owen of Bakersfitld saw two Chinese killing fish
in Kern River, by the use of giant powder, and immediately
caused their arrest. The men were bailed out, but the evi-
dence is conclusive, and they will be put through at a lively
pice. No more unsportsmanlike or dastardly practice is in
voge than that of blasting fish. The(oityis that the users

Allender's Kennels.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I recently paid a visit
to Watson ville and had the pleasure of seeing Geo. Allender's
Kennels, who has proved himself the most successful of all
doe trainee here by winning tbe prizes for the past four
years at the Pacitic Coast field trials. Mr. Allender's ken-
nels are located about five miles from Watsonville at a place
called OaniD Goodall about 6ve hundred yards from the Pa-
cifio Ocean. Are nicely situated, plenty of water, quail a
short distanoe from the house. There is a half mile speed
track there and a number of box-stalls, and he ke ps his dogs
in the box stalls, two or three dogs in each stall . He has a por-
tion of it partitioned off, with nice clean straw in it. Nice
clean water is kept for the dogs and changed every day.
The dogs are taken out and exercised twice a day. There
are no neighbors within a half mile of his place, so the dogs
have plenty of room to run around. They are all in a healthy
condition, and looks as if they had good care. A great
many of them are fine specimens of thair breed. He has a
very fine water Bpaniel there, a full blooded Irish, owned Mr,
Goodall, and a very fine lemon and white pointer bitch
owned by Mr. Schreiber of this city, also an extra fine lemon
and white Better bitch, Queen by Harold-Sweetheart, fit to be
shown in any company, owDed by C.N. Post, of Sacramento.
Mr. R. K. Gardners pointer pup, Tennis by Rush T. cham-
pion Patti Croxteth T. winner of the second prize, San Fran-
cisco. 1889, poppy class. Mr1 Talbot's Irish red setter bitch
Katie T., by champion Mike, champion Lady Elcho T. winner
of the first prize San Francisoo, 1888. A. B. Truman's poin-
ter bitch champion Patti Croxteth by champion Croxteth,
champion Patli M. and a number of other handsome ones.
He has twelve all told, dogs and bitches. He Btated that
his kennels were foil for this bcisod, as no man could break
any more and do justice to them. I wish to say that I agree
with him after tweuty years of experience. Bradford.

Some of onr English Better fancying readers may remem-
ber that Mr. Philip McShme, now gathered to his fathers,
brought to California, in 1876, an English Better dog. The
dog, Gloucester, was of the rarest breeding, by Leicester out
of Dart, and was a full brother to Carl R., whose puppies,
Kittle's Luke, Linville's Florine, Lucas' Bruiser, Cummin's
Max and othes are all superb animals. The fact that two
LeiceBter — Darts have come to the State and left so few de-

scendants is a sad reflection upon the alertness and taste of
local breeders. If any one chances to recall anything about
Mr. McShane's setter, we shall be pleased to receive the in-
formation. It 1b just possible that the dog may have been bred
here and that some of the progeny may be accessible.

Mr. Perham W. Nahl, who has been advertising Great
Dane poppies by CasBar — Lea for sale, changes his advertise-
ment this week, and now oilers youngsters by Cfesar — Dora,
the latttr having presented him with a fine litter. Mr. Nahl
also has seme beautiful young croBs-breds by Caesar out of
a fine mastiff bitch. The cross is worth nothing.

Mr. A. W. Knox, a son of Mr. John R. Knox, who imported
Belton, and who owned Belton II and Belle in this State a
faw years ago, offers, through the advertising columns, a fine
Gordon setter dog six months old. Mr. Knox knows what a
good dog is, and fanciers may profitably correspond with him .

The death of Mr. H. T. Payne's Princess Claude removes
one of the best English setter brood bitches in the world.
Claude was bred by R. H. Boyd, and whelped on Joly 27,
1883. Her sire was Bergundthal's Rake, 212 A. K. S. B., and
her dam Iowa Queen, 2014 A. K. S. B. Iowa Queen was a
daughter of Rake, so that Princess Claude was three-quarters
Rake in blood, as strong an infusion of the blood of Llewel-
lin's Dan as is to be found, in fact, relying solely upon mem-
ory, we think that Claude was stronger in the Duke and
Rhoebe blood than any other bitch. She was a well-sized,
finely propoitioned, roomy and strong animal, and won first
and several specials, the only time shown, at the Southern
California Kennel Show, held at Los Angeles in June last.
At that show, in the open class for dogs, three of her sonB,
all from the same litter, were awarded first, Becond and third
respectively, a distinction never before enjoyed by any bitch
of any breed in America, thus proving her superiority as a
dam. While old Claude, intelligent, affectionate and love-
able — the especial pet of every one who knew her — has gone
to the happy hunting grounds, it is to be hoped that her
progeny — large, strong animals, full of vigor, quality and
bird sense — will impress upon the setter interest of the coast
many of the estimable qualities of their dam.

Mr. Payne writes us: "Claude died on tbe evening of the
2dinst. from|inflammation|of the uterus caused by a dead pup,
She was my baoy, and feel the loss very much indeed. It.
seems too hard to loose her."

riable courtesy, together with a deep knowledge of arms,
powders and ammunition generally, the quick introduction
of the cartridges is largely due. Readers are advised to con-
sult the advertisement of the Standard cartridges, which ap-
pears in another column, and then to go to the nearest first-
class gun house and secure enough for the coming season,
which is now openiDg so auspiciously.

If Mr. Arthur W. du Bray, whose writings as "Gancho"
. have given him prominence on two continents, had done no
' other service to his fellow-sportsmen than to impress opou
them the excellence of the Standard cartridges as loaded by
the Selby Smelting and Lead Company, 416 Montgomety
street, San FranciBco, he would have established clear title to
regard. The cartridges met some little opposition at first
from the more cranky and stupid amoug thedeilers, but that
imperious ruler of all tradesmen, stern demand, soon com-
pelled them to handle the Standard cartridges, and they are
now to be found in evory hamlet and wayside store. Solid,
unvarying goodness in all the qualities necessary to fine
shooting have done the work in makiug the Selby ammuni-
tion indispensable to ihe best Bhots at the trap and in the
field. A deal of credit is to be ascribed to Major Sheldon I.
Kellogg, manager of the cartridge department of the Selby
Company, through whose energy, fine business tact and inva-

BILLIARDS.

The billiard match made for $500 a Bide, open for $2,000,
between Mr. Saylor of San Jose and champion McCIeery of
this city, iB creating much comment billiardistical. Mc plays
1,200 points against Saylor's 900. Saylor's backers seem
very anxious to increase the stake, while the admirers of
McCIeery are confident that he will not only cover their coin,
but assert boldly that "Mc will bet them to a stand still."

On looking over the records of the past seven years, we
find that the above players have piayed several matches for
stakes ranging from $100 to $1,500 a side, and strange to
say, they stand about even as winners, and every game
Bhows the confidence the public has in the integrity of the
contestants, mention being made of large and small wagers
being made that in the agreeate would mean a small fortune.
In a practice play at the Baldwin last week, McCIeery ran
the game out from the "lay off" (250 points), his opponent
being kept busy, simply holding his cue.

The Baldwin billiard room has been thoroughly refitted at
an enormous outlay, and is one of the Bights of the city. Mr.
McCIeery is the manager, and cordially extends a general
inyitation to ladies as well as gentlemen to call and inspect
the premises.

Everyone who plays billiards should have a copy of the
McCIeery Method of Billiard Playing, the title of a very in-
teresting and useful work on the game that will be issued
about September 25th, and will be on sale at all bookstores.

For those who would like to have the records of the game
for the past twenty years, Bullock's Manual is very complete;
published by T. R. Bullocn, Esq., Manager Naragansett
Hotel Billiard Room, Providence, R. I. Copies can be had
from Prof. McCIeery at the Baldwin; price 25 cents.

A very interested audience watched the contest at the
Cafe Royal one evening last week between Mr. CheBly,
cashier of the Chronicle, and another leading amatear; in
fact hardly a day passess without a quiet match being on, as
there are many who play the beautiful game, and play it
well; McCIeery favors contests of that character, holding
that it improves one's game faster, and giveB self-reliance to
the player. Clendenyone.

Many of the prominent breeders were present at the begin-
ning of the Oakland meeting, they being called to the city to
attend a meeting of the Directors of the Pacific Coast Trot-
ting Horse Breeders Association. Mr. Wilfred Page in-
forms me from the entries made and the money at present
in the treasury of the association, that the first racing sea-
son will be an assured success. This is as it should be, or
rather as it should have been for the past ten years, We will
now have a chance to see the breeders combating amoDg
themselves for superiority and a gala time may be expected.

MAMBRINO WILKES.

AUraml Stallion Hint is in.' Person! flcallon of Equine
Beauly. Tlie Property or Irvln Ayrcs, San Francisco.

One of the very best stallions in the State of California to-
day is Mambrino W Ikes 6083. There is no guess work in
making an assertion Bach as this for a look at this noble stal-
lion will convince the most skeptical that the statement can-
not be denied. The one great trouble that there haB been in
the past is the fact that he has ndt had proper opportunities-
When bred to the ordinary mares to be found in Northern
California; he could not do justice to the great family to
which he belongs, and when brought down to Stockton he
was in hut a little better fix. The mares were not there that he
Bhould have had, for there is no better bred horse in the
State. It was simply by force of oircumstances that he was
brought to California by Rafus lugalls Jr., and ultimately
fell into the bauds of Mr. A. L. Hinds, who finally sold him
to Irvin Ayres Esq., in whose possession he has been for a
number of years. Lately Mr. Ayres has picked up an exceed-
ingly tine lot of mares and now the stallion is being
mated to such as he should have had years ago. With his
elender chances he has proved a marvel, he being the sire
of Gus "Wilkes 2:22, Aipheus 2:27 and Balkan 2:29£. The
'atter who is now only a four-year old, nude his record last
beason under the most adverse circumstaucss, having been
sick the entire year with a sort of epizootic from which he is
not altogether recovered yet. If by any chance he should get
his speed before the seas jn ends, a number of seconds will
be knocked from his present record. As he is one of the best
gaited horses seen this year, graceful, and with eisy action,
he is the typical idea of a trotting hurse and might with
ordinary luck come very near touching the "twenty mark."
Gus Wilkes is at present under the weather, but ii will be
simply a question of days until he will be Been on the track
again, as his trainer and driver, James Dnstin, reports him
improving wonderfully. Aipheus is suffering from a bruise
reoeived during the stnd season, and has shown signs of
lameness, which it is a pleasure to state, have almost disap"
peared. Here we have three in the Hot, by a horse whose
merits have been almost overlooked. And yet, his breeding
is of the highest order, and he stands as a worthy representa-
tive of the Wilkes family, almost ignored, while every season
persons look over the published list to see what stallion they
will patronize for their mares. A gentleman writing for the
Breeder and Sportsman, said, only a short lime ago:

"When Mambrino "Wilkes, 6083, wub brought out, I could
not restrain an exclamation of Burprise at his beauty and
symmetrical form. It is now many years ago since first I
saw Fillighan (the name George Wilkes was originall> known
by), but the memory still retains the conformation as perfect.
ly as though seen but yesterday. In this son of his is the
same head and neck, with a slight improvement in the body,
Mambrino Wilkes being a heavier muscled horse than his
sire, and haB the appearance of being much larger. In color
he is a perfect black, stands over sixteen hands in height, and
is one of the most stylish animals in California. There is not
a spot about him that I would change if I could, with the
exception of his near fore and hind feet, they being slightly
contracted, due more to the blacksmith than to any other rea-
son. He is the personification of all that is beautiful in the
equine form, and Mr. Ayers may be congratulated on owning
one of the best finished horses in the State."

ADy pen picture would fail to do this great horse justice,
for as artists say it ib impossible topaint a Pacific Ocean sun-
set, so it is impoBsble to convey to the mind of the reader
what a tine looking stallion he is. Mambrino Wilkes is by
George Wilkes, he by Rysdyk's Hambletonian out of Dolly
Spanker. The dam of Mambrino Wilkes is Lady Chridman,
she by Todhnnter's Mambrino, out of a daughter of Pilot Jr.
12. Those of the present day who look for gilt-edged breed-
ing cannot improve on it, as the fashionable strains are all
there and close up.

Mr. Ayres has a choice farm situated less than a score of
miles from Oakland, and he is gradually fitting it up as he
adds to the number of bis mares. Of late he has had erected
a magnificent large barn and stable, the latter with stalls
enough to accommodate about twenty horses. Each com-
partment is of mammoth proportions, thus giving the occu-
pant plenty of room to move around in. The acreage is
about equally divided between bottom and slightly hilly
land, with a small stream of living water running through it.
It is pleasantly situated and nicely sheltered from the winds
of the Bay, making it one of the most desirable breeding es-
ablishmeutB in the State. Mr. Ayres is thoroughly alive to
the wantB of the community who are interested in the equine
race, and those who may seek the services of his grand horse
may rest assured tnat their stock will be looked after in a
conscientious manner.

Capt. Henry White haB sold to Ja^es Dodd of Honolulu,
a faBt pacing gelding which he bought at one of the Haggin
sales some two years ago. The price paid by Mr Dodd was
$600. Capt. White has also purchaHed from Mr. Barry of
Colma, the well known brood mare Ruby, by Monday, dam
Ida Martin by Rifleman out of LexiDgton Mare.

There are very few of tbe old times that do not know
James Adams of Los Angeles. He has been visiting the
Oakland Fair the past week, and Thursday night, when step-
ping off the Oakland boat he stumbled and fell breaking bis
urm. Jim will have the sympathy of a host of friends.

To Tell a Good Race Horse-

Pointers That Will Help ilie So vice In Juilinga Co t.

Hard to get and heavy to hold.

Hundreds of yearling thoroughbred horses are now being
brought from tneir native pastures to be offered for sale in
the city. The buyers of yearlings who can judge correctly
of a horse's future by what they see of him iu his box or led
about the paddock are few and far between. It is the object
of this article to give some idea to intending purchasers of
what a yearling that may reasonably be expected to become
a racehorse, should be like.

To begin witb, his head should be wide and preferably flat
across the forehead, intelligent and not too small. The eyes
must be large, prominent and far apart. A "pig eye" or
sunken eye denotes sullenuess, intractability and waDt of
courage. Much of the white shown indicates viciousness.
The lateral shape of the head doee not so much matter. Ro-
man nosed horses are generally hardy and enduring. Yet
many prefer a slight concavity from the lower part of the
forehead for a short distance and then a convexity to the
nostrils, which Bhould be wide, showing plainly the red lin-
ing when the horse is excited or blowing. The muzzle should
be°small and the lips thin and compressed. A pendulous
lip is a sign of constitutional weakness and want of decision.
The jaws should be wide beneath, like a game cock's, bo as
to give plenty of room for the windpipe, which must be large
and loose, The ears Bhould be short and pricked, although
occasionally good horses are seen with lop earls.

The head should be set upon the neck at an angle of about
100 degrees. If at a smaller angle, or a greater, the horse
does not carry it well. A high creht is also objectionable,
and so is a ewe neck — that is, a straight neck, inclinding up-
ward, but the latter is the less evil of the two. The neck
should be strong and muscular, to sustain the weight of the
head. In racing, the neck tires first. It should not be too
long, and the hand should feel it firm and substantial under
the mane, which should be thin and silky, while the tail
muBt be strong and thick.

'Thin mane, thick tail, broad buttocks, tender hide," is
the rule. The first two and the la*t two are most important
requisites in a thoroughbred. I could Dame a very expensive
two year old now in traiuing which will never be a great
horse because he is deficient in the third of these require-
ments. The neck should merge gradually into the
shoulder, showing no very marked junction, and itB length
should appear rather above than below.

The general line of the leg should fall straight to the
ground, and the tue and the p.'int of the shoulder be in the
same perpendicular, or nearly so. Standing in front of the
colts, the out line, from the withers to the bottom of the
chest should appear like flattened oval, smallerat the withers,
and narrow, compared with that of a horse used for any other
purposes but racing. If the chest isjtoo wide, the fore legB
will be wide apart and the space between the leg* too great.
This is the greatest fault a horse intended for racing
can have. I have seldom seen Buoh a horse that could race
at all, aud never one that could stay. The space between
the forelegs should be small and the feet close together, an
inch or two apart. The chest Bhould be deep. A deep nar-
row chest is capable of greater expansion in respose to the
action of the lungs than a round one. The elbow should
neither be tnrned in nor turned out, for in the former
case it comes in contract with the ribs and impedes the ac-
tion of the limb, and in the latter the feet are tamed in, a
very serious fault and one which invariably diminishes the
horBc's Bpeed.

Looking againjat the hoise sideways, the lower part of the
cheBt should rise Bightly toward to the belly until about
eight inches from the elbow, when the outline should fall a
little, the angle formed by these inclines indicating the pro-
per place for the saddle girth. I should perhaps have men-
tioned that a horse who is calf-kneed, thac is, where the out-
line of the back of the foreleg is convex and the front con-
cave, will be week limbed and likely to give way in training.
Sj will one "tied below the knees," that is smaller immedi-
ately below than he is further down. As regards the fore-
quarter, generally the more there is in front of the saddle
or the place where the saddle would sit, the better. The
ribs Bhould be long and curved, not flat, and the last or back
rib should not be more than five inches from the hip joint.
In stable parlance, a horse so formed is said to be "long in
the back rib" and well ribbed up." This formation denotes
strength and good feeding qualities, while a flat Bide, a short
rib and Increased distance between the last rib and the hip
joint indicate opposite qualities, but are less objectionable
with fillies than with colta. The back should be short and
the loin arched, which shows that it is well covered with
muscle. The hip should be wide across and prominent, and
the stifle turned out, which gives freedom to the forward ac-
tion of the hind quarter. Otherwise the play of the joint
would be interfered with by the ribs. A horse with the stifle
tnrned out stands with his hocks together, and other things
being right, is generally fust.

The Becond thighs, descending to the hock, should be
broad, viewed laterally, as should also be the hock, and the
hock should be close to the ground. From the point of the
hock to the fetlock the leg should fall straight and perpen-
dicular. If the posterior outline is convex, that indicates
curbs, if concave, weakness. The leg to the fetlock should
be of even width, the tendon beiog detached and clean as in
the foreleg. The fetlock, as well as the hock joint, should
be large and bony, a certain appearance of coarseness in the
latter being preferred. The pasterns and feet should slope
at an angle of forty-five degrees to the ground, and the feet
will be smaller and shorter then then the fore.

Standing behiud the colt, the space between the thighs
should be well filled up with muscle, the absence of which
makes a horse "split up behind," as men of stable mind say.
Similarly the outside muscles of the thigh should swell or
bulge out, infringing upon what would otherwise be the top-
like symmetry of the hind quarter. Sometimes at the Junc-
tion of the hip bone with the spine a lamp is Been which de-
tracts from the symmetry of the dorsal lin<?. In such easeB
the bone is highly developed and adds to the strength of the
quarter, such hoTses being generally fast, and this is why in
horsemen's slang it is called "the bump of speed." ihe
hooks should be close together, and the legs and feet perhaps
slightly turned out, but never turned in. Looking again at
thejcolt turned sideways the line from the top of the quarters
to the withers should be nearly horizontal, the latter being
slightly lower in yearlings, as the wither rises with age more
than the hindquarters. I do not like a horse with high with-
era. His action is likely to be higher than is desirable.
Horses bo formed have seldom that daisy cutting action su
gratifying to the eye of an expert. Fidipse was low before
and I may add went very wide behind, bringing bis hind feet
outside his fore, and in this respect many of our best race
hordes resemble him. A weak tail indicates a weak constitu-
tion.

A colt that is likely to race will show great freedom at the
walk in the use of his limbs be'ore and behind. He should
reach out with his fore feet, and put them down resolutely
with a decided thud, not dwelling in the uir. The hind legs
shduld be brought well under him and planted well in front
— the further the better — of the spot whence the fore feet
have been taken. This shonlri be accompanied by flexibility
of the neck and body, and the tail should swing freely from
side to side. The motion should be gracfeul. Fine mus-
cular development does not always carry with it freedom of
action, as may be seen in prize fighters. In the human sub-
ject grace, it is true, may be acquired, but with the horse,
which, as far as we know, does not study personal appear-
ance, it comes wholly from conformation. For these reas-
ons a colt will often appear quite a different animal in his
box and out of it.

The $10,000 Purse at Hartford.

The $10,000 parse for 2:20 horses, that for seven years has
been trotted annually at the Hartford meeting, such cracks
as Harry Wilkes, Director, Oliver K. and Patron winning it
in their day, haB come to be one of the classic events of the
trotting turf, and although there are now equally large purses
given by other tracks, that at Hartford is certain to have a
tremendous entry list, and the honor of 'winning it is eagerly
Bought by breeders and other horsemen all over the land.
This year it was thought, after the Maine stallion Nelson had
trotted two heats in one race in 2:15, that the richest prize of
the trotting turf would gi to him, because, in additiou to be-
ing a remarkably fast horse, he is also as good an actor in a
race as could be wished, and everyone knows what an impor-
tant figure this cuts in contest where nothing bat Bpeed,
gamenesB and good behavior can possibly win. The combi-
nation is a hard one to find, but Nelson has it to perfection,
and it was for this reason that the best judges thought he
would win the Hartford event. It was true that other stal-
lions had been going well this year, but Kelson seemed to
outclass them all in every particular, and, look at the matter
a* one might, there was no po:nt of view from which any
other horse eligible to the Hartford purse could be figured
out the superior of the one from Maine. He was to trot in the
entry of Dan DeNoyelles, that shrewd old man who haB been
a figure on ihe trotting turf ever since the days when Dan
and Benny Mace were boyn, and everything looked rosy.
And yet he was beaten, and at the finish, the defeat was a de-
cisive one. In the first heat he rushed away with the pole,
trotting as if the race was a dash, making the first half in
1:07} and the last in 1:07, the result of it all being that his
record was reduced to 2:14}, and the people more than ever
convinced that he could not be beaten. Bat in the second
heat the Michigan stallion Alcryon, a gray fellow with but
one eye, bred for a sprinter and stayer as well, took a
hand in the game. Nelson was the fastest for half a mile,
but at that point the gray son of Alcyone began to close the
g-ip, and people who had seen him win at other points
along the Central Chcuit line, making a record of 2:16} and
weariog out his opponents by a steady brush from the half-
mile pole home, knew that there was danger, even for a 2:14}
horse, in this new competitor, the chestnut mare Geneva S.,
having been second in the preceding heat. There was noth-
ing electrical or dashing about the strogg'e of Alcryon for
first place, no sudden spurt to the wheel of the leader and
then another brilliant display of speed that left the erstwhile
victor in the rear, but juBt a steady, pitiless, distance-devour-
ng pace that brjught Alcryon alongside of Nelson before half
the home-stretch had been trotted. There was a momentary
struggle of course as the heads of the two gallant trotterb lay
alongside of each other, but it was a fleeting picture to the
onlooker, Alcryon keeping up the measured stride that had
characterized his work for nearly half a mile, and in an in-
stant bis gray nose was to the fore and the heat had been
won in 2:16£-. Nelson had passed the half in 1:07, a faster
clip than in the first heat, but he had faltered coming home,
the pace set in the first half of the journey being too fast.
The third and fourth heats were easy ones for Alcryon, for
Nelson, the only horse in the race with anvthing like his
burst of speed, waB now out of the fight, finishing third and
fourth in the last two heats, Geneva S. and Jack making the
fight with the winner. Jacu looked, for a little while iu the
last heat, as though there was a chance for him to win, and
the two grays, one bred in Michigan and -the other out of a
mare owned in that State, had "quite a trotting match," as
John Turner would say, around the upper turn and half way
to the wire, but at no time was the result really in doubt, Al-
cryon being first home in 2:19£. It was a great surprise to
.the public, which had conceived the idea that Nelson was
unbeatable, and to a great many horsemen who held the same
view, but the latter class remembered that in all his starts
since Detroit Alcryon has been invincible, and when one con-
siders the class of horses he has met and the fact that he has
been beating 2:20 all the time, the overthrow of Nelson is not
by any means such a hard matter to explain. Alcryon and
Nelson, firBt and second in the great trotting race of the year,
are trottiDg-bred to the backbone. Alcryon is by Alcyone,
2:27, be by George Wilkes, 2:22, and out of the famous Alma
Mater, dam of four in the 2:30 list, by Mambrino Patchen,
son of Mambrino Chief. Alcryon's dam was by Privateer, he
by Hoagland's Gray Messenger and out of the famous old
trotting mare Moscow. It is a plain pedigree. Rysdyk's
Hambletonian was a 2:40 trotter, his son George Wilkes was
a 2:22 horse, his grandson Alcyone was a 2:27 horse by the
records and a 2:21 horse by public trial, his great-grandson
Alcryon is a 2:16} horse. Of course all the excellence was
not in the male line. The dam of Alcyone was by Mambrino
Patcheo, brother to Lady Thome, 2: IS}, and that she was
a mare of great potency in the production of speed is shown
by the fact that four of her produce are in the 2:30 list. The
dam of Alcryon is by a son of Hoagland's Messenger, whose
dam waB a noted trotting mare in her day, and Hoagland's
Messenger was by a son of Sherman Moigan. Nelt-on, the
second horse in the racB and winner of the fastest heat, is by
Voung Rolfe, a trotter with a record of 2:21}, and his dam
by a son of Hami letonian. It was trotting blood to front
with a veogeauce.

The chestnut mare Almater, the property of Mr. W. H.
Wilson of Cynthiana, Ky., added new laurels to her dam
Alma Mater, bv doing the fourth and fastest heat in the race
at Lexington Ky,, August 27tb, in 2:29}. This is the third
brood-mare that Abdallah Park has given records below 2:30
this year.

No one need go to Colusa or Marysville, in fact any where
in the vicinity with a saddle horse again, first John L. at
Obico and Willows— used as a Baddle horse until a few weeks
ago — wins at Willows, gets a record of 2:24 at Chicp, at
Marysville Snieklefritz same tale. A good vaquero horse
wins in straight heals, going to the half in 1:11 in the first
heat.

JUNIO, 2:22.

A. and M. GoDzales are the fortunate possessors of a first-
class Electioneer colt of which much was expected this year,
bat sickness has prevented him from receiving the proper
amount of necessary work, although he will be especially
prepared for the Fresno mooting. He was foaled in 1832,
being by the Premier Stud of Palo Alio, and oat of a daugh-
ter of Granger, he by imp. Hercules. He is a beautiful dark
ba}', fully sixteen hands high, and as to his conformation, it
is best expressed in the words of Lee Shaner, the well known
trainer and driver who says: "He is the best finished Elec-
tioneer I have ever seen, and for his size, is exceedingly well
proportioned."

As Mr. Shaner has handled horses for many years, he csd
be cited as an authority, for no one knows Junio better than
he does. Last Geason he made his maiden appearance at
Bulk- City, Montana, August 9th, meeting as competitors I"
Jay S., Lady Don and Golddust. He won the tirst heat in
2:32, but had to lower his colors to I. Jay S., who won the
third, fourth and fifth heat, the second falling to Golddast.
From there he was taken to Helena, where he met Col. Brad,
sbaw, Leona and Prince, gaining second money. At the
same meeting, on August 24th, six started in the 2:38 class,
and Junio won the first and second heats in 2:30 and 2:28,
but the race was ultimately won by Fantasia, Bishop Hero
having also won two heats.

From Helena he was taken to Anaconda, where Fantasia,
in a six-heat race, again won, Junio getting second money.
We next hear of him at Spokane Falls, where he had so much
improved that he defeated his old antagonists Fantasia and
CjI. Bradshaw, although itjagain took five he*ts to decide
the contest, Junio winning the first, second and fifth heats in
2:25, 2:23 and 2:26£.

At the Bay District track on October 24tb, he won a
memorable victory over Jim L., Alio, Ha Ha, and Argent
which is well worthy of a detailed account, which is taken
from the Breeder axd Sportsman of October 27th.

The second event was a match race for $1,000, with the
stallions Ha Ha, Junio, Alio, Jim L. and Argent as starters.
Before the first heat Ha Ha was the favorite, aellmg for $25,
Junio at $11, Alio at $11, Jim L. at $15 and Argent at ©5.

They had a great deal of trouble scoring, and when they
git off at about the tenth attempt J m L. to3k the lead, with
Ha Ha after him. The other three were plainly not out for
the heat an 3 Jim L and Ha Ha had the tight to themselves.
After they left the quarter-post Jim led by a couple of lengths
up the bacbstretch and by a length or more around the turn.
Iu the straight Ha Ha began to close up, and under the whip
they raced home in a hot finish, Jim L. winning by half a
length in 2:20 J, Ha Ha second and Argent third.

Jim L. became a decided favorite after the heat and was
worth $25 to $12 for Ha Ha, S4 for Alio and $8 for the field
of Junio and Argent. In the second heat the order of things
was reversed. Junio was the leading horse when they got
to the turn and Alio was second, with Ha Ha at his wheel.

On the back Btretch Ha Ha went up and the two drew away
from him, and he was never heard from again. Junio led
Alto by a length, at the half mile post, the same distance in
the turn, and half a length as they swept into the straight.
Then both got the whip and went home for a close finish,
Junio taking the heat, Alio second and Jim L. a poor third.
Time, 2:22.

Few had faith in Junio, and so, after the heat, Jim L.
jumped into the favorite's place, selling for $40, field $18,
Ha Ha $13 and Alio $7. The third heat was much like the
second. Again Junio took the lead, with Alio second, and
Ha Ha kept close to them until past the quarter, the pace
was too faBt, and he broke and dropped back with the ruck.
Junio led all the way. Alio was pushing him to a hard fin-
ish, but weDt up at the drawgate, and Junio trotted under
the wire in 2:22i, Alio second and Jim L. third.

When Junio was announced as the winner of the heat
there was a glorious chop in the pools. Everybody wanted to
get in on Junio, and they soon ran him up to $160 to $29 for
the field of four. Some of the gamblers began to cry "job.
bery," but their money was in and it took heavy hedging to
get it out.

Afteradeal of: scoring the flyers were sentofffor the fourth
heat. Junio and Jim L. disputed for the first place all around
the tnrn and into the homestretch, but there Jim lost his
feet and Jim drew away. Alio passing to sec.ond place. Jim
was not heard from again, JuDio and Alio came around a
length apart and made a very pretty finish, Junio taking the
heat and race. Alio a length second, and Argent third.
Time, 2:25$. The short enders were happy.

His last race for the season was at Oakland when he was
beaten by Bay Rose. Since his retirement to the stud, he
has severed a large number of mares, which combiued with
the attack of Epizootic' has rendered him unfit for heavy
work. His only attempt to face the starter this year was
at the Oaklan 1 m eting, where he was in no fit condition to
trot, being distanced in the first heat. As stated before he
will be prfpared for faBt work and will uot be started again
until the Fwsm maeliu.2. where it is confidently expected
that he will bs able to lower his present record by several
seconds.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Editor Bbeedkr and Spobtsman: — In your issue of this

some comment is made iD reference to the Dawn-Stanley

perhaps "I might throw some light on the subject so freely

best interests of the turf, und a promotion of its patronage by
an appreciative public

Iu this view of the case, I am only ton williog to say, that
anything I may be able to contribute toward a solution of
what seems to be soch a mystery, will afford me as much
pleaBnre as it may be of interest to others. That the time
(2:30) made by my filly in the first heat was to me an unex-
pected performance, and of which I was, under the circum-
stances of her Bhort time in'training, very proud; that she
could have beaten Pedlar's 2:27£ in the seeind heat, I did
not then, nor do I now, believe; but that she (Lorena by
Jim aiulvsna. dam Elmorene by Elmo) shoull be so easily
beaten in a tbird heat of 2:35j, is to me as yet an unsolved
mystery, resulting in a financial loss not only to me, but to
my stable men who had the mare in charge.

In connection with the foregoing facts, I deem it proper to
say also that John Blue, my trainer, is a man in whom I
have every confidence as relates to his integrity, and to him
was intrusted the choice of drivers for the race, he being
some forty pounds over weight. "Buster" had driveu
Lorena on two former occasions, losing to Gov. Stanford's
Delmar at Napa, August 14th, in 2:34£ and 2:30, and beating
his brown stallion Pedlar at Santa Rosa. August 22d, in 2:3S
and 2:33^, which performances were, so far, entirely satisfac-
tory to Mr. Blue and myself. Therefjre it is not strange
that the same driver was chosen by Blue to drive the filly at
Petaluma, and that it was with my conBentand approval that
he did so. Hence whatever may have occured to cause her
defeat, no blame can attach either to Blue or myself, unless
it may be tbat I should have asked for a change of drivers
after the third and last heat, but as I believed most fully in
the enciency and prompt judgment of Mr. H. M. Larue,
who was the acting official in the stand at the tim*. I deemed
such a course unnecessary. Ben E. Harris,

Drake Carter, the famous old American race-horse, is dead,
says the Horseman. Saturday he was being exercised on the
Woodbine traok, at Toronto, Can., when he fell and broke his
leg, and a bullet ended the old hero's long-drawn-out misery.
Drake Carter was foaled in 1880, sired by Ten Broeck, out of
Platiua, by Planet, aod became the property of G. B. Morris
when a yearling. He proved to be a grand rac«-horse, and
when three years old was purchased by Pierre Lorillard for
$17,500. He held the present "best on record" for three
miles, 5:24, made at Sbeepsbead Bay, September 6, 1884.
When his racing days were over he became the property of
T C. Patteson, of Toronto, who afterwards sold him to his
last owner, the Bay View Stable, for $150. At the time of
his death he was being trained with the view of starting him
at the fall meeting of the Ontario Jockey Club.

To Prevent Colts from Becoming "Wormy.

Many valuable colls are lost every year for the want of a
little care. Hundreds die from lack of condition. As a rule,
if colts are fed liberally and kept growing constantly from
birlb, there is not much danger to be feared from worms.
Yet it is always best to be on the safe fide, and use all barm-
less means to prevent every form of sickness and suffering.
Some Kentucky breeders practice mixing a little pulverized
copperas with salt and placing it in boxes where the colts
can help themselves as they like. Two tablespoonfuls of
pulverized copperas to a pint of salt is sufficient. Horses
suffering from worms can be cured in time by feeding a tea-
spoonful of copperas mixed with a teaspoonial of powdered
gentian every night for two or three weeks. It can be mixed
with oats or turned down the throat from a bottle. Copperas
and gentian is an excellent tonic. Breeders wiU do well to
keep a small quantity on baud, fiet the dnigeist to pot np
tour ounces each, compouniing it in his mortar so as to mix
it thoroughly. Put the powder in a strmll box or wide-
monthed glass jar. label it, and when needed give
horses a teispaonfal in their feed at nigh"
require about one-tbird ns mnch a6 a grov
weanlings a much smaller quanity.— [A merit- ■

Owing lo the press on our columns last week, we were un- I
able to add another California horse tu the galaxy of talent
then presented, but still one that has cansed the name of
California to be heralded from one end of the world to the
other, deserved space in our picture gallery, and we now
hasten to present to our readers the portrait of Mr. Winters'
celebrated colt, El Rio Key. Iu speaking of this great colt
the New York Spirit of the TimeB Bays:—

"El Rio Rey is a bright chestnut, with a narrow blaze in
his face extendiog over the nose, the near fore and both hind
legs white. He has a beautifully expressive face and a large
eye lull of intelligence, large nostrils, long tapeiiDg earB, a
round muzzle, high cheeks, an exquisite neck, full throttle,
short from the throat latch to the breast, which is full but
narrow, well inclined shoulders, a grand back and deep ribs

closely coupled, and full flanks. His best and most striking
point is his enormoDB quarters, which are ns massive as those
of a steer, and run away down full to the gaskin; his arms
are very big and broad, and his legs aTe good, as are his feet.
His worBt point is bis aokles, which are not the beBt. His
action is rather slovenly and sluggish in his slow paoes, but
when extended is very taking and hiB propelling power enor-
mous. In Bhort, he is like his brother Emperor of Norfolk
in style — enormous Bize, bone and subatancp joined to high
quality. He is rather a prettier horse to the eye than the
Emperor, his color being in his favor in that respect."

Every one of our readers is aware how the oolt wasbrongh*
to San Francisco to take part in the Bpring meeting of the
Blood Horse Association, but it was deemed expedient to
save him for his Eastern engagements. This waB more par"
tioularly by the desire of Mr. McCormick, the trainer, who
fancied that the oolt was hardly at himself during the early

spring months, and was rather dubious of the reBult. El Rio
Rey has an unbroken record of victories, the performances
being as follows:

St. Louis, June Uth. — St. Louie Brewers' Stallion Stakes;

San Diego Gossip.

Your State Fair edition is away ahead of anything ever
seen on this coast. Dr. Aby looms up in great snaps and
looks even younger than when he was wont to expitiate up-
on the merits of Cannon Ball in a great thirty mile horse.
It must be below zero when Abv does not ome to tima, and
he Bcored a great heat by securing the front p*ge for Im-
ported Greenback.

The first County Fair of this new district is to be held at
E ooudido on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th of next month. The
pjop c who have homes in this fertile valley are hustling to
make the affair a big success. The track is almost com-
pleted. I am going there for the Union and will send you a
detailed report.

San Diegans are very much elated over the success of Ben
Hill, and a happy Bhout generally goes up when the news is
flashed over f he wires that Mikado has won another race.

Etitor Waite of the bright and breezy San Diegan is one
of the best posted men on trotting topics in the Stale. Mr.
Waite is a great admirer of fa3t trotters and in former years
reported many of the gallant struggles on the grand circuit.
The San D egan is not a gigantic paper, but its horBe rjewa
is far ah* ad of any of the Sao Fran ci- co dailies for accuracy.

Missoula Races.

Sept. 3, 1SS9.— The opening of the Missoula Fair and rac-
ing Association was greeted by a beautifully clear and Rnuny
sky, and a stiff western wind. The breeze having cleared the
atmosphere sufficiently, we are happily free from aching eyes |
caused by vainly trying to discern the colors and horses
through the mnok of Bmoke, as we have been here-to-fore ,
on the circuit. The rain of a few days past, also aiding
much in the good work by partially extinguishing the monn- j
tain fires.

This being the first annual meeting of this association it ]
naturally was quite an auspicious event to the good folks of
Missoula. The track is three miles from town, and the only
mode of reaching it is by carriages, or the raihoad, which
runs one train each way daily— and leaves still a long walk
to the gate. The grounds are very new, the oarpenters ham-
mers are still heard completing the pool stands.

A long row of roomy box stalls extends the full length of
the grounds, immediately in the rear of the commodious
grand stand. .

Although the wind blows quite a gale, such efficient work
has been accomplished by the watering cart that the annoy-
ing element, dirt, is in the minority.

The very excellent band comprised of sixteen colored men
from the Missoula Fort is in attendance; the new music Btand
undoubtedly inspires them to do their b6st for indeed it would
be a difficult taBk, to find more excellent music, than is dis-
coursed by them. _ . .

The track itself is all a race-horseman can desire, as it is
springy and fast, without being too hard, the homestretch is
on a psrceptib'.e down grade, making a fast come-home.

The town by night iB all lightand music, licensed gambliDg-
houses are running full blast, and the usual order of a west-
ern town during fair week prevails, fights and arrests being
numerous. The "Florence," the principal hotel of MisEOula,
and headquarters of the horsemen, was filled to-night, and
mmy familiar faces are to be seen in the reading room. Mr.
Marcus Daly was prominent in one group; Tim Lynch of Cal-
ifornia Bhone forth in another; Cris. Peterson, the owner of
Jubilee, was expatiating on some of the performances of his
prodigv, much to the entertainment of his friends, who know
be has" a "good one" in Jubilee.

The first race of the meeting wss a g da^h. The horses all
got a very even send off, but Bob Wade took the lead at the
head of the stretch, and held it to within a few lengths of the
wire, when Sunday forged ahead in his supreme style and
won in 354.

The second raoe was a f- dash, with five starters. This
was a great job, and Buoh racing will do m credit to any As-
sociation. At first pools sold, Asa $15, Bingo $6 Nettie H.
and Monte $2 respectively, but before the horses went to the
post BiDgo was a hot favorite, Asa bringing comparatively
nothiDg. After th6 start she was never in the race, although
she outclassed all her competitors. When the starter's flag
Ml all pulled up with the exception of Bingo, who was then
well in the lead, and had the lace won fr m the start.

The third race of the day was a trot for Missoula County
green horses, with two entries. The first heat Scat Kaho
took the lead at the pole and kept it by ten lengths until he
came under the wire.

The second and third heats were repetitions of the first.

The fourth and last race was a wa'k-over for Blondie, for
the Bitter Root Stakes for two-year-olds. Time, 3 min.

The second day, liks its predecessor, is cold and windy,
with a slim attendance and slow betting.

The first race was a f dash with six to go. Pools sold
Jack Pot $45, Red Bird $15, Ladd $60, the held with Monte
Bingo and Nellie H. bringing $30. After quite a de'ay at the
post they finally got away well. Red Bird soon took the lead
and won by a couple of lengths.

The second race was a dash of half a mile with three start-
ers. Sunday won, with Kitten a good second.

The third race was the Derby, 1£ miles, three entries. Ju-
bilee, in bis usual style, took the lead at the start and held it
to the finish.

The fourth race was a special for trotter^, with three en-
tries. In the first heat Lady Maud took the pole immedi-
ately aftei getting the word, and was never headed, winning
easily without a skip

In the second heat Maud again took the lead, but broke at
the quarter and was passed by Singleton. Both of the lead-
era took turns in breaking until they reaohed the last quar-
ter, when Bishop came up trotting squarely and passed them
both, but left his feet when close to the wire. The judges
gave the heat to Hero.

The third heat was trotted much in the same style as the
laBt one, Bishop Hero winning by downright good trotting.

The fourth heat wa3 won by Lady Maud, and the race
postponed until Thursday morniug. Fourth and last heat of
thG race was won by Lady Maud, giving her the race.

The third day of the meeting was an improvement over
the two first by being warm and pleasant, a slight increase in,
attendance, but betting still slow.

First race on the programme is | daBh, with three to face
the flag. Kittie "Van set the pace and was never headed,
Koly Boly a good Becond.

Second raoe was a quarter run, with the usual number of
three starter*, Bob Wade who was favorite, ran neok and
neck with Nettie S , but pulled away near the wire and won
by half a length.

Kace number 3 was a mile and a quarter dash, with an-
other trio to start. Jubilee sold favorite in the pools. When
the Btarter's flag went down Jubilee was soon at the lead and
continued to set the pace to the end. Pilot ran second to the
head of the stretch when Keeverna took hiB position from
him and kept it.

Fourth race was a free for all, list 3 in 5, with fonr to
sulkies, and Clatawa the pacer, to cart.

First Heat Clatawa took lead to the half when she went up,
and was soon the fifth in the heat. Palatina broke at the
first turn, but caught readily and came first under the wire.

Second heat they all got off well in first trial. Palatina and
Fantasie competed for supremacy to the half mile when Pala-
tina again got the heat, never making a break.

Third heat was a close contest. They were sent away at
second scare, Clatawa led to the | when he broke, Fantasie
and Palatina had a hot race home, but Palatina got thero
first, thus ending the race.

The fourth and last day was rather sparsely attended, be-
ing rather cold and windy. The first race on the programme
was a mile handicap with four to start. Roll/ Bolly sold
favorite, and her backers were surprised to see Kee Vee Na
come in victorious, with Roily a good second.

The second race was a special half-mile dash, with four to
go. Indian Tom bolted three times running to the quarter
pole. They were finally got off with Tom in the lead, but he
was soon overhauled by Red Bird, who won the race.

The third race waB half mile heats, with three good ones.
Roily Bolly got away with the first heat, but Red Elm still
sold favorite, and won the second hfat. Kittie Van then went
to theBtable and Red Elm beat Roily in che third heat, win-
ning the race.

The fourth race was the novelty of the week, being a three
mile race between Basil and Grafs Valley. Grass Valley took
the lead and ran ten lengths ahead of Basil for two miles and
a half, when Basil sudden]}' gained upon him. Hazlett be-
gan rifiiog at the eighth pole on Basil, and easily pulled
ahead and won.

From Missoula.

The associations of Montana, have expressed themselves
as being most desirous of uniting with and forming a part of
the California circuit, especially Butte, Anaconda and Missou-
la are united in their petition lor admission.

Mr. Sloan, the obliging and ambitious secretary, of the
Missoula' Association, also suggested that the Montana meet-
ings convene earlier, giving an opportunity for the California
horsemen to be represented here and still return in time for
their home racing. Many Montana horses would then go
that way instead of going East, as- they now do, thus com-
bining, there would be one grand Western Circuit.

Mr. Marshall, president of the Missoula Association, and
Secretary Wynne, of Batte, are seriously agitating the ques-
tion among those it most concerns, and expatiating on the
beneficiary results to both race men and breeders.

Montana 13 Jclosely following in the list of thoroughbred
stock farms. The most extensive one in the State is owned
by Mr. MarcuB Daly, of Anaconda. He has a fine lot of trot-
ting horses as well as thoroughbreds. Mr. Daly has spared
no attention nor expense to make this enterbrise a grand
success.

Mr. Bielenberg, of Deer Lodge, is another prominent
breeder. He owns Regent, by Bonnie Scotland. Regent is
the sire of Montana Regent and Nevada, who started in nine
races this circuit, and won eight of them. She is owned by
Kuykendall and Baker.

Mr. Bielenberg is still in possession of her dam Miss Ella,
who is a grand looking brood mare. He has a fine yearling

1889

%\iz %xtz&xx awd j& pxrrlsmaw.

247

filly of great promise, Carmen, and also a suckling both be-
ing fall sisters of Nevada.

Mr. Kuykendall, of Helena, ia devoting his time and mon-
ey also to the industry, and has a fine lot of brood mares and
colts, and,has jaBt sent a string of good ones East, some of
which we may expect to hear from.

Mr. Larabie, of Deer Lodge, owner of the trotter Rancbero
and many other good ones, has his own track on his farm
and has shown up fast ones on the turf. He has recently
sent a number of thoroughbred brood mares to Rancho del
Paso to be bred.

This is only a partial list of many engaged in the business
up this way. The climate being much colder and the warm
season being short, it naturally i» not conductive to the ear-
lier development of colts, without much c*re and expense
not to be met with in rearing fine blooded stock in Califor-
nia.

Notwithstanding these difficulties to be mastered by man
over the elements, the breeding of fine stock is an established
and undoubted success in the Stite; and Montana, the home
of Spokane, promises in the near future, to be a formible
rival in the industry to Our Own California.

Would it not then sbow wisdom on our pirt to do all in
our power to help Montana by working for her interests in
making this proposed circuit, as the benefits would be mu-
tual What we do for her will still be a benefit to our own
Circuit, and yet reflect a halo of philanthropic glory on ^ our
generosity. *-*. V. T,

Mr. Edwin F. Smith writes to Bay tbat Mr Sbippee'a entry
to the Blood Horse Association is "Lodowic," it having been
printed in many ways last week.

The Directors of the State Fair have fined G. Valensin, A.
McFaydeu, J. Beach and A. L. Hinds, $25 each for not
making declarations in proper time.

Thirteen sons of George "Wilkes have been contributors to
the 2:30 list this year. Fourteen sons of Hambletonian, nine
sods of Almont, rive of Belmont, four of Volunteer, four of
Dmiel Lambert and three of Happy Medium are contribu-
tors to the list.

It seems that when Col. Joho "W. Conley, of Chicago,
asked young Williams if he would take $100,000 for Astell he
was talking in the interest of a couple of men who had decid-
ed to give that much for the Iowa phenomenon. Had the
sale been made, Axtell would undoubtedly have gone into
Budd Doble's Stable. Both Astell and Allerton are dow in
Iowa, Allerton being lame from having hit himself in a race
last week.

Marion Biggs, Jr. has purchased 360 acres of land in South
Theramalito, about (wo miles below Oroville. He has great
plans for improving his new place. He intends to devote it
largely to horse-breeding, and has already planned a mile
speeding track.

The Record Union has the following, for which many
thanks: "The Breeder and Sportsman has a neatlittle booth,
where sample copies of the papers are to be seen. That jou r-
n*l is now justly regarded as one of the foremost sportsmen's
papers in the country,"

Captain S. S. Brown, the wealthy Pittsburg turfman, has
commenced suit against the New York Times to recover
§100,000 for li^el, in consequence of some severe comments
in that paper on the running and management of his horses
at the Monmouth Park meetiDg.

The Breeders Gazette volunteers the information that
"the dam of Lillian Wilkes was not by Belmont, although
she was eaid to be". It will be in order nest week, to say
that Sunol is uot by Norfolk, or that the dam of Electioneer
was not by Grinstead.

Hurrah for the Hearst Stable. It has won the "Great
Eastern", one of the notable Coney Island Stakes,with Tour-
nament by Sir Modied. But with the usual perspicacity, the
stable backed King Thomas heavily, but my telegram does
not say whether the selection has arrived at the wire yet or
not.

D. L. Ha'l, superintendent of the Overland Jockey Club,
Denver, Col., who has just returned from Montana and wit-
nessed the late races there, said to a Denver reported: "Yolo
Maid is'a very f»st mare. She ie a wonder as a three-year-old,
but in my judgment she can't beat one side of L, C. Lee in a
race. Lee is a great horse, and I know of what I speak."

""What's the matter with Tournament winning the Great
Eastern Handicap?*' was asked in one of the pool-rooms yes-
terday. The answer was Bhort and decisive. "Nothing,
only he belongs to Senator Hearst." That settled it, and no
one could be found to bet even a dollar on him. — Sporting
World.

Charley Underbill, of Santa Rosa has returned from Kan-
sas City whither he travelled some three weeks since. Mr
Underbill was accompanied on his way back by what he
thinks is one of the best youngsters in the country. He
calls her Mrs. Underbill. Many happy days to you and
yours, Charley.

Mr. W. H. Wilson of Abdallah Park, CynthiaDa, Ky., baa
purchased from Edwin D. Either of Bacine, "Wis., the bay
rive-year old stallion Raymond, No. 6081, pired by Simmons,
2:28, dam Lady Raymond by Carlisle, 395; second dam by
Dixie, son of Brown Dick; third dam by Edwin Forrest,
No. 49. Raymond has a full brother in California called
Ryymon, that promises to be a fast horse; he has already
shown miles in 2:25 this year.

Mr W. C. France has recently refused a cash offer of
$60,000 for the brown stallion Wilton, by George Wilkes,
dam Alley, by Hambletonian. His record is 2:19.';. and raw,
if any, of hia get are old enough to have enbauced bis fame
The price named seems an enormous one, bat he has fortv
mares, at $500 each, booked to him for next season; he will
earn, if he lives, several times $60,000 in a few years.

The gray gelding Sensation shoold soon win a race, says
the Horseman. He oan beat 2:20 thrte times away off', but
is badly driven. His heat at Buffalo, when he carried Nel-
Fon to the wire, was one of the fastest trotted the season,
which is, by long olds, the most phenomenal in the way of
record-breaking that has ever been since a trotting horse first
beat three minutes.

Budd Doble says that much of the succes this season of
the five-year old trotter Jack is due to the fact that he was
winterer! in California. s*ya the Breeders Gazette. Ever
since Doble took Goldsmith Maid to the Pacific coast dnriDg
the winter months and noted how she was improved and
kept fresh by the sojourn in a mild climate he has been an
entnusiastic advocate of the scheme, and last fall, after Jack
had finished a hard campaign, he sent the gray across the
continent with biB other horses, GeorRe Starr haviug charge
of the lot The pacer Johnston was also in the party, and
the good that the trip did bim has been shown by hia fast
mileB this vsar, When the trotting in this part of the coun-
try is over "the best horses in the Doble string will again go to
California, and come back in the 6pring ready for business as
Boon as the money is bung up by the tracks hereabouts.

We have received the following letter, which 6peaks for
itself:—

Editor Breeder Aim Sportsman:— Our Association baa
decided to declare off the fall meeting dated Oct. Sth to 12th,
owing to the scarcity of wuter supply to put the track in
proper condition before the racing season. Kindly make note
of it. The track promises to be very fast, and we do not
intend to have arjy drawback at our first meeting, hence our
action. Respectfully yours,

F. W. Trull,

Vallejo, Sept. 12lh. Secretary V. J. C.

The associated presB is Dothing if not sensational. A re-
cent telegram says that MrB. Langtry has been interviewed
in London, and tbat she is going into the bor^e breeding
business very extensively on her California Stock Farm, and
alBO adds the information that she has bought Hermit, to
send to America. How any daily paper could publish such
bosh is beyond any horseman's comprehension. As every
Hermit filly is worth her weight in solid silver, I wonder how
much Mrs. Langtry paid the Blankney Stud Farm for the
old horse.

A farmer named Hilton, says the Savannah Republican,
hired a very inexperienced boy to help him about the place.
One morning he told the lad to go and salt the calf over in
the pasture. The boy took aboot a quart of salt and rubbed
it all over the calf, working it into the hair. A gang of colts
in the pasture scented the Bait and git after the calf.
They licked the hair all off the calf's back and tried to lick
the hide off, too. The farmer tried to catch tbe calf to wash
it, but the creature, thinking he wanted to lick tno, kept out
of his way. The boy, calf and farmer are all unhappy.
The colts are the only oneB tbat got any fun out of it.

are getting in their work at San Pedro, N. M.,
the following being from the local paper. "The horse race
the other day was a fake. If the boys put up jobs on each
other and keep it anioDg themselves all well, but theymuBtn't
try to play the general public for Chinamen. Mr. Barton was
greatly annoyed at the way Dandy was jockeyed, and did his
best to prevent any betting. It is dead wrong, but we will
give tbe boys another chance, and mention no namep, but
if there is any more of it we will roast the pupetrators un-
sparingly. Square sport we can't get enongh of, but wij
won't have Himbo sach a? we got upon this occasion."

There are strange events happen at race meetings some
times. When Victor won at Sinta Ro3a, Andy McDowell
had been backing one of the other horses in the rece, not
thinking that Victor could win. When requested to take the
reins in the fifth heat, he did so, and won with the Hayseed
horse in three straight beats, but be lost his money that was
in the box, all tbesame. Two weeks ago at Oakland, the same
thing was repeated, Andy was up behind Direct, and Johnny
Goldsmith wa-i Lacking tbe black colt", when he was reques-
ted to take the seat behind Victor. Johnny drove the raca
out, and Victor won, but as in Andy's case, be lost money by
winning. I wonder how many of the drivers throughout the
country would have done the same thing.

A Scotch paper (the Aberdeen Free Prese) pive? tbe follow-
ing interesting statement: "The stock of ponies in Shetland
is running very low. Mares, formerly obtainable at from
50s. to 80s. cannot be had to-day at mnch under £10 to £12.
The average size of a Shetland pony ir 44 inches. If they
are higher than that they are not so valaabje; but the highest
prices are obtainable for those that are only 40 inches or un-
der, those being scarce and much sought after. A good many
years ago Sir Anthony Nicholson, Fetlsr. introduced an Arab
Btallion into Orkney, which he crossed with the native mares.
Tbe product was a large pony, very hardy, swift and active,
but too big, except for some purposes.

Recent investigations iu France go to prove that tbe horse
has no ear for music and only a very slight understanding of
time and military signals. Several circus men confessed to
tbe investigators that they had never seen a horse with mu-
sical instincts. The popular delusions that a trained horse
occasionally waltzes in time to music, they said, wjs unsup-
ported by experience. The music was always played to snit
tbe step of the horse, which was regulated by signs from ihe
trainer. Most war horses were found to pay little attention
to a signal for a charge save wheu aroased by the significant
movements of a rider. A troop of fearless cavalry horses
were unmoved by martial trumpet calls. Altogether the in-
vestigations concerning horses on the field of battle went to
prove that the traditionally intelligent war-hoiBe could not
make a correct movement in a fight save under the rider's
guidance.

I can readily believe tbat the sporting editors who are
holding up tbe lime of the great Axtell to beat, would almost
fall paralyzed if such a thing should occur. From New
Orleans on the South to the Twin Cities on the North, the
editor (like Uriah He*p) rubs his bun^s with, invisible eoap
and water, after he has written "SudoI and Lillian Wilkes
are sad disappointments, Axie'l with the record of 2:14 etc".
Still it is just within tbe bounds of possibility that both of
them may touch or surpaps Axtel's mark before the season
closes, and listen to this: I know a genlleman who before
the month clcses may challenge both of them, and Astt-11
will be acceptable company, if each will put up $2,500 or
$5,000 a corner; and the unknown only a tLree year old at
that.

On Saturday evening hist, the members of the Porterville
(Tulare County) Blood Horse Association, held a meetiDg in
tbe Enterprise office for the purpose of discussing the ques-
tion of a fall meeting this year There were present the
following officers, in addition lo a large number of members:
Captain Hayes, president; L. J. Redfield, vice-president; S.
J. W. Tyler, treasurer; J E. Shoey, eecretary, and directors
W. H. Hall and M. B Crawford. After a few well appointed
remarks, by the president as to the success of the July meet-
ing, and the reading of several letter* from strangers who had
taken part in our first races, asking what the prospects were
for another meeting, it was unanimously decided to bold a
race meeting abont tbe last week iu October, and a committee
Qf tive— C. S. O'Bannon, L. J. Redfield, M. B. Crawford, We
A. Hall and J. E. Sbney— was appointed to take the c tter

OPENING STOCK PARADE AT

SACRAMENTO.

A large throng congregated in the Park early on Saturday
and an hoar before the parade commenced were bwsy wan-
dering among the cattle in the centre of the track, idling
among the horses or lounging on the Btands. At 10 o'clock
sharp the Artillery Band commenced playing and Marshal
Cox started the parade, which was conceded on all Bides to be
one of the best ever witnessed at the State Fair. The horse
department was so well tilled that when strung out it reached
a forlong over a mile. The parade was led by a good loosing
gray team of E. M. Leitch's, then a serviceable pair of black
geldings, the property of E C. Fortier. Seven other teams
were shown, including A. L. N.chols' nicely matched bay
browns and J. L. Clark's Fallis colts

The baggies were led by E. C. Oppenheini s chestnut road-
ster followed by twelve useful looking horses, the most not-
iceable among which were B, 0. Tryon's two year old Magis-
ter a standard bred horse who tutted at the Capital Turf
Club meeting in the spring; M. Storn's bay roadster, L.
Whitmore's two year old, and Chas. "Welby's chestnut. The
sulky brigade was headed by W. W. Coomb's black four year
old Lady M. In the procession were Worth Ober behind
Stoneman, a good looting brown. Matt Storn guiding his big
two year old B«lvidere, by Le Grand, E. H. Miller's Arabella
A D Mil er's "WeBtern, Old Berlin, as lovely and playfnl as a
kitten Wilber Smith holding the lines over a good looking
two year old by Dawn, Edward Tanoant driving a slashing
black filly four yearB old, called Lizette, by Abdullah Wilkes
dam Musette Chas. Scott with Wilkes Pasha, 261S, a beauti-
ful dark bav, over 10 hinds high, and an ideal of the trotter.
He is by Onward, Ull, dam F s her, by American Clay,^34;
W. A. French, handling a nice biy two year old, T. C. Sni-
der with his brown stallion Corsair, W. R. Merrill behind
Clareacs Wilkes, F. H. Burke's Daylight, two or three Nor-
man's, B. C. Holly's two year old Kaffir, Jim McDonald
steering Fedora, W. Vigoet with a happy smile as he drove
Eros (Mr. Burke's handsome Electioneer stallion), J. A. Mc-
Cloud's Mount Vernon, G. W. Woodward' Alexander Batton,
Jr., Jim Sullivan with Belle A., Lige Downer and L. AI-
mont, Banta behind Rosa M., and a host of others whipped
by the handsome paotng stallion Creole, who astonished the
talent at Napa.

Immediately following the wheels was Dr. C. W. Ahy, on a
cobby lookiog horse with a J. C. brand on his quarters, car-
rying the Guenoe Stud Farm's superintendent. All eyes
were tarred on the three horses following in his wake. St.
Saviour, a big slashing bay, led the van; his shining coat and
commanding appearauce made him a general favorite; he is
a full brother to Eole, being by Eolas, out of War Song, and
was one of the few survivors ot the memorable railroad acci-
dent at Sholola Glen. Greenback, a compact, short-legged
brown, with splendid shoulders, good hack and powerful
quarters, a good set of legs, and sound as a dollar all over,
was selected by most of the connoisseurs as one of the best
thoroughbreds on the ground. He is an imported horse by
Dollar out of Music, by Stockwell, one of England's great
brood mares. Friar Tuck (the Langtry Farm's entry) was
eagerly looked over on account of his relationship to Gorgo,
Faustine and Flambeau. He is full brother to their dam,
Flirt, being a son of Hermit, the greatest living sire in the
world, ont of Romping Girl, by Wild Dayrell. He was not
so much admired as either of the other two, although he
came in for a good deil of praise for his handsome bearing.
Mr. Aby also had a big. good looking yearling chestnut colt
by Rutherford, dam Leveret by Lever. W. L Pritchard ex-
hibited Lizzie Dunbar, one of the handsomest thoroughbred
brood mares on the coast, and also Lizzie P. The former had
a good looking filly foal by Sir Modred at her side, and a
grand yearling by Darebin well deserved compliments on his
appearance and c information. B. C. Holly fell into lioe with
a fine brood mare with a splendid bay Woodout colt along-
side. The mare is by Albert W., dam by Echo. A bay year-
ling colt (by Stamboul out of an Ejho mare) who resembles
his sire to a marked degree; "WoodBide, a good looking chest-
nut yearliDg colt, by Wood nut, dam by Echo, and his cele-
brated mule "John Mac-key," by Geo. Washington, dam by
Echo. Chas. Boots had several representatives in the thor-
oughbred class. The Cook Farm exhibited four of their well
known Cleveland Bayp, and the procession was whipped in
by Clydes, Percherons, jacks and mules. F. C. Chalmers had
six head of grand animals in the Percheron Class, led by a six
year old gray mare, who must tip tbe beam at close to nine-
teen hundred; a yearling black colt, two two year old fillies, a
two year old stallion and a compact, short-legged brown three
year old stallion. James Harrison, of Salinas, had a big,
strong, active representative in the Clydesdales in a lightish
bay s'allion with a good ii telligeot head, good shoulders,
strong back and legs with plenty of bone and the characteris-
tic hairy fetlockB.

The e it tie parade was then started, Dorhams leading the
van. The first lead was Col. Younger's Forest Home herd,
with eighteen head. Each individual has been a winner in
the ring, The old bull who led the way and the roan were
very much admired. The latter is very gool all over, except
behind the Bhoulders, where he is very hollow.

The second herd, sixteen in number, were entered by P.
8. Chiles, Davisville, led by Kirklevington Oxford Count,
and all showed up in good condition. P. Peterson's twenty
head were led by Councellor, a twenty-five hundred pound
bull. J. M. Mansfield exhibited a big heavy bull, and J. A.
Brewer a UBeful looking two-year-old.

Joe Marzen's eight head followed. Kaweah Duke 2d was
in front of tbe herd; he is a magnificent bull, weighing
2,400 pounds, by Henrietta Duke out of Miss Leslie 4th.
The best of the remainder wjb a grand four-year-old heifer,
Amelia Lonau, who is a typical short hort, close to the
ground, and in grand condition. She is in calf for the first
time, weighing rather over 1,500 pound*. The others were
in very good order, and favorably impressed tbe on-looker.

William Jacobs' eleven head followed in fair trim. Five
head of E. S. Drivers and eleven from Cal. Past and Agri-
cultural Society's ^herd in Merced. T. G. Baty had three
and K. J. Merkley eleven useful animals.

Messrs. Prewitt & Goff, who have over a hundred head
outside the track, has thirty-one fine looking ones in the
Parade, and Heilbron Bros, had eighteen Shorthorns and ten
Herefords. The Shorthorns were bended by 2d Earl of Aber-
oeen, a good red boll, who is a pure CruickBhank. The next
(probably the bgst Shorthorn bull on the ground) was 2Sth
Grand Duke of Gloster, by imp. Double Glo-ter. out a
Renicke cow; he is a splendid bull, with a good masculine

heal, wide level back and close to the ground; he is only
two years old, but is very powerful, and in excellent condi-
tion, with fat laid on evenly all over him. Earl of Aylesby
2d is a nice appearing red, with a little whire here and there,
by 2d Earl of Aberdeen, out of Telluria Welcome, who has in
her a good deal of the Booth blood, which is celebrated all
over the world for its beef qualities; the yearling roan bull
has a grand pedigree, backed up by good looks. Mayflower
3d is a descendant of Duke of Devonshires; likely backed up
with several good Bates crosses, she is a good, hard, roan
three-year-old heifer. Walter Sparkle is another roan, having
generouB mixture of Booth and Bates blood running through
her veins; she is five years old.

Henry Vaugban's twelve head of Herafords which followed
caused ganeral excitement by their appearance and splendid
condition. Their white faces, rich red coats, wide level
backs, deep expansive chests and Bhort legs and general
activity, despite their tremendous proportions, making them
friends everywhere. .,

R. McEuespy's seven Devons looked good, hardy cattle, in
nice trim. J. E. Camp had six goad Polled Angns that were
rather thrown in the shade by Dr. Dixon's celebrated Argo-
naut herd, which were as Bleek and trim as could be.

The Interstate Galloway Cattle Company's entry were
clo^e up with nineteen head, principally Gallowa>s.

Hols terns were represent d by three large ertrie3, G. B.
Polbemus leading the way with twenty-four head, followed
by Senator Stanford's Vina Ranch herd, also twenty-four
strong, and Frank Burke's La Siesta h^rd, with twenty-two.
All were in excellent trim, and milk should be cheapin Sacra-
mento while they are in the vicinity.

Geo. Bement's twelve Ayrshires received very favorable
notice from the spectators. Jerseys brought up the rear of
the beet cattle parade ever seen in California. H. S. Sargent
had twelve, A. L. Nichols ten, W. C. Smith eight, P. C. An-
derson five, and F Warren two.

In the pens at the H Street end of the track, sheep, goats,
swine and poultry are suitably located. The sheep exhibits,
although few in number, were all of high clasB Andrew
Smith, of Redwood, has twenty good Shropshires. Royal
Duke, an aptly named ram, was brought from England by
Mr. Vaughan with five ewes, which are exhibited; thpy all
came from the flock of Mr. Farmer, one of the most noted
breeders of England, having been almost invincible at the
Royal and Yorshire shows. The others exhibited are all by
Royal Duke, from imported ewes. T. F. Bullard has thirty-
five Spanish MerinofB, J. H. Glide niue good Shropshire*
and twenty-five French Merinoes.

T. H. Harl » Bhows twenty Angora goats; last year he took
every premium, this time O. P. Bailey, of San Jose, has
twenty-six from his Monterey ranch. Mr. Bailey is one of
the largest owners of goats in America, having over ten
thousand head in Nevada, Mariposa and Monterey counties,
but owing to the depressed trade in mohair, does not exhibit
as much as usual.

Swine are very well represented, Andrew Smith having a
large entry. Model Duke, a two and a half year-old boar,
weighing 950 pounds, was brought from the East for Mr.
Smith by H. Vaughan at a cost of $750, having as a yearling
beaten all the crack Berkshires in the East. There are also
io Mr. Smith's entry two good bows, with eight and seven
young pigs, two grand gilts Redwood Sallie and Redwcod
Duchess, a yearling boar by imp. Redwood, who was bought
from Swanneck'e Cirencester farm, two yearling gilts and two
bix months old gilts, a fine six months old boar by Baronet,
and a nice litter Df six by Peploe. Mr, Smith also exhibits
five Poland Chinas.

J. McFarling has in Berkshires three boars, a sow, a sow
and a litter of six and two gilts under a year old, very good
specimens of their class. T. C. Waite, Redwood, has two
good boars, a sow, two young sows, two gilts and three small
pigs, all Berkshires. W. Jacobs exhibits thirteen Berkshires,
including two tremendous sows.

J. Melvin has twenty-five good Poland Chinas. Essex are
well represented by Geo. Bement's thirteen, including a
mammoth boar, and P. Shepper's yearling boar and son, with
two lively youngsters.

In the poultry department, H. L. Nichols has a fine dis-
play of Leghorns and Hamburgs, with three Fekiu dncks.
The Sacramento poultry Yard has a large entry of Bantams,
Leghorns, Black Spanish, Cochins, Brahmas, Plymouth
Rooks and Guinea fowls. W. Jacobs has some good speci-
men of Langshans and Wyandottes. T. C. Waite has a good
entry of Plymouth Rocks, Brahmas. Houdaus Polish, Ham-
burgs and others, inoluding a pen of very pretty black-
breasted red game bantams. G. Trefzer exhibits Cochins,
Houdans and Wyandottes. W. Tracy, Wyandottes; Messrs.
Miller and Bates have each three Torlouse geese.

Judging commenced on Monday morning. In the Thor-
oughbred department W. M. Williamson, Col. Mayhew and
Henry Walsh officiated, and after a careful and critical exam-
ination placed Imported Greenback first Friar Tuck Becond,
leaving St. Savior in the cold. The winner, Greenback, was
certainly entitled to the premium as he has proved himself a
race horse, while bis breeding is exceptional. The fast bay
Middleton blood, intermingled with Stockwell, should prove
valuable here. Friar Tuck's reputation is based on the fact
that he is brother to Flirt, the dam of Gorgo, Faustine and
Flambeau, and consequently is a sou of Hermit, the best
living sire in the world.

St. Savior is rather too leggy, while his shoulders might be
better

In Shippee's King Ban colt walked over for the two-year-
olds, and though he should race, he is too big and leggy to
do much good as a youngster. The first in yearlings was
given to Mr. Shippee's Longfellow, Carrie Phillips, a good-
looking bay, who shows more quality all over thau the sec-
ond one of the sturdy, useful-looking colts, a son of Darebin
and Lizzie Dunbar. Broodmares was readily won by Lizzie
Dunbar, who has ripened into one of the best looking ma-
trons in the country. Mr. Haggin's cast-off Annie Laurie
won in four and over mares, Nerva second, and Lizzie P
waB overlooked.

Two-year-old fillies was an easy win for Far3alara, who is
ft deceiver, aood-looking all over, but not much good on the
traok.

In yearlings the Shippee entry was one, two with two Fal-
settos.

. N°™B™ftnd Percherons were small in nnmber and quanti ■
13', fc . V. Chandler having the only good entry.

Clydesdales were pooriy represented. The second prize
horse was more of a true Clyde than the winner iu the stal-
lion class.

Draft horseB other than Clydes. etc., were a very hard lot
to jiidge Merkley's entries were very good, and he got away
with most of the money,

most successful, can be congratulated on the fact that he han
improved the other herds by selling some of his choice stock
to them in former years. His aged bull won first prize, but
in the herd premium he was beaten by S. Polhemus, while
the Vina Ranch was to the fore several times, Ayrshires and

Racin*?.

The racing part of the State Fair began upon Thursday,
Sept. 12th, in the presence of a good crowd. Good crowds
indeed were the rule of the first week, the attendance av-
eraging away above the attendance upon similar days of laBt
year. Everybody knows what the programme was. Good
contests of speed and fast time have been the result as an
opening feature. So nol made her walk over in the Occident
Stakes, going the oircle in 2:16J, the quarters being 0:34,
1:09,1:43,2:164. Marvin drove the filly. She tired per-
ceptibly on thestraight, but a few light taps from the whip
gave her an impetus which carried her under the wire in the
time mentiored above, trotting strong.

When the cheering over Sonol's work had ceased, the 2:30
Class oame oof. Thev were W. F. Smith's bl g Thap-
sin, G. A. Doherty's b h Victor, Pleasanton Stook Farm's b g
HomeBtake and Marcus Dalv's b s Senator. The hayseed
bay, on account of hiB previous bruising races, was named to
win bv the talent, and when the pool box opened, be sold
for $70, Thapsin going at $55, Senator at $20, and Home-
stake at $25

First Heat— The crowd were sent away well bunched, Vic-
tor leading on the first turn Senator lost hia feer, and jost
before they reached tb* quarter HomeBtake lo?t hiB feet as
well. At the qnarter Victor lead Thapsin by an open length.
Qoing d.qwn the backstretch Thapsin cradled up to Yictor

inch by inch, and when they got to the half was at his wheel.
Half way around the second turn they were wbeel to wheel.
Senator and HomeBtake were fifteen lengths behind, both
breaking oontinual'y. Victor and Thapsin came on together
at a clipping gait until they reached the drawgate, when Vic-
tor lost his feet under the pressure, and Thapsin came in
winner by half a length. Senator was back ten lengths. Home-
stake ran almost the entire mile and was distanced. Time,
2:24 J

Second Heat — Thapsin was at once made favorite in tbe
pools, selling at $40 against $23 for Victor and $8 for Sena-
lor. Around the first turn they trotted wtll together and at
the quarter Thapsin led with Senator lapping him and Vic-
tor close up. Victor broke just past the quarter and gave
Thapsin a good lead. A second break put bim four lengths
behind at tne halfJSenator still on Thapsin's wheel. When
they entered the straight the pjeitions were unchanged, ex-
cept that Senator had reached Thapsin's head. Down the
straight they came together, but half way home, when he
Btood a fair chance of winning, Senator lost bis f6et and
Tbapsin went in, placing a second heat to his oredit, Senator
finisbin? at his wheel, Victor six lengths away. Time, 2:22J.

Third Heat — Both Senator and Victor broke on the first
turn, but Victor lost little and when Thapsin, in front, got to
the quarter, Victor was at his shoulder. On the backstretch
Victor held on, and at the half he was still at Thapsin's
shoulder, Senator ooniing four lengths back. Going into the
second turn Victor again broke, and before they reached the
straight went off his feet a second time, giving Thapsin an
open length the lead. They entered the straight this way,
Senator two lengths from them. Down the straight both
Senator and Victor fought hard for the heat, but Victor
broke and Senator was not fast enough, and Thapsin going
steadily, took the third beat and the race, Senator a length
behind, second, and Victor two lengths, thiri. Time, 2:22.

The above event for a purse of $600 had as starters John-
son's b g Edwin C, A. G. D;etz's b s Longworth, Jno. Pat-
terson's blk m Princess Alice, J. I/. McGord's blk g Ned
Winslow, G. M. Woodward's br m Belle Button and B.C.
Holly's ch g Frank. As has been the case all through the
circuit, it was a long, hard fought race and fell at last to an
ootsider.

First Heal— J. E Hodgsin's grg Johnnie Skelton was to
have started, but after scoring a few times he was taken to
the stable lame. It was with much difficulty that the six
starters were sent off, but when they did get the bell, Belle
Button shot away in front and at the quar.er she lead, Prin-
cess Alica off' her feet in second place, Frank third, Winslow
fourth and Longworth and Edwin C. behind. On the back-
stretch there was a general see-saw of positions and when
Belle Button reached the half, "Winslow was at her head,
Frank was two lengths back and Princess Alice four lengths
with Longworth and Edwin C. with her. On the second
turn the positions were unchanged. In the straight Ned
Winslow caught Belle and Frank after making one or two
gaining breaks reaohed her wheel. "Winslow made a slight
break at the drawgate. Frank passed Belle and made for the
leader. Both broke and went under the wire in a gallop,
Winslow first by a length, Frank Becond. Belle Button third,
Princess Alice fourth, Edwin C. fifth, and Longworth sixth.
Frank was set back to fourth place for running. Time,
2:18.

Second Heat — By this time the pool boxes which had been
closed by the police were reopened, and the betting became
lively, Ned Winslow going at $50. Longworth $25, and the
field $50. There was a series of scores which lasted twenty
minutes before they could be sent off to anything like a de-
cent start. Winslow made a skip just after leaving the wire.
Around the turn he was in front and at the quarter he was
first, Princess Alice at his wheel, Longworth lapping her
wheel, Belle Button fourth, and Edwin C. trailicg. Winslow
reached the half with the Princess hanging on, Longworth a
length back, Be'le Button four lengths away. There was no
change on the turn bnt when the race home in the straight
began, Longworth put out a burst of speed and got up to
Winslow's head. The black got the whip heavily, but Long-
worth ontspeeded him and went under first by a length.
Princess Alice third, Frank fourth, Belle Button fifth and
Edwin C. sixth. Frank was away behind at the go and never
made a showing until he got into the straight when he paced
home at a two minute gait. Time for the heat, 2:19J.

Third Heat. — The field was made favorite at $25 to $18
for Longworth and $10 for Ned Winslow. Half an hour was
consumed this time in scoring, Frank and Princess Alice
persistently coming up behind and delaying the start. It
was not until the judges threatened to fine both drivers that
rhey would score up at all. When the word came Longworth
went away around the turn in front, and when they were
straightened out at the qnarter he led, with Belle Button on
his wheel. Winslow two lengths third, Edwin C. fourth,
Princess Alice fifth and Frank sixth. On the backstretch
they bunched, and at the half Longworth and Belle Button
were head and head in the lead, Edwin C. and Ned Winslow
going like a team two lengths back. On the second turn
Edwin C. and Winslow went up on either side of Belle
Button, and at the three-quarter post the three were abreast,
Longworth leading them by a length. Belle Button quit.
Edwin C. caught Longworth at the drawgate, and between
them there was one of the hottest finishes ever seen on the
track. GoldBmith who was piloting Longworth and Hickok
wbo was driving Edwin O. punished their horses terribly,
shakiog them up, Bbouting and lashing with their whips.
Edwin C. held his gait and when Longworth tired under
the hot worK, E Iwiu G. passed him and finished first by
three-quartern of a length, Winslow getting a poor third, Frank
fourth, Princess Alice fifth and Belle Button sixth. Time,
2:18*.

Fourth Heat — It was growing late when they were called out
for the fourth. Edwin 0. was installed now as favorite, selling
at $25, the field bringing $15 and Longworth $12. They
were sent off with Longworth in the lead, and at the quar-
ter it was Longworth, Edwin C , Ned Winslow, Frank,
Belle Button and Priucess Alice in the order named
about a length apart. Edwin O. and Longworth were the
only ones in the heat, and they fought it ont between them.
On the backstretch Edwin C. caught the bay. and on the se-
cond tnrn passed bim and lead him into the straight by a
length. Goldsmith punished his horses severely, but the race
was over at the drawgate and Edwin C. won the heat by two
length, Belle Button finishing third, Ned Winslow fourth,
Princess Alice fifth and Frank sixth. Time 2:20£.

The finish of the race wa,s then postponed to 12 o'clock, t,h.e

next day. The betting during the night did not materially
change. In the fifth and last heat Edwin C. took the lead
at the start closely followed by Frank, Longworth third. The
positions were never changed Edwin C. takiDg the heat and
race in 2:19£.

ing him to get off eight lengths to the lead. Duke Spencer

for $1000. Res was the favorite at $100, Byron $45, field
$80. In the latter were Rabe, Margaret S., Alfred G. and
Pink. Res broke at th9 first turn. Margaret S. wsb two
lengths ahead of Alfred G. at the quarter. Rink and Byron
strung out behind. Byron dii good work on the stretch,
where he was a close second. He went off his feet when near-
ing tbe wire. Margaret S. won by a length. Byron second,
Alfred G. third, Pink, Rex and Rabe in the order named,
Time, 2:191-

Second Heal—ktter several attempts the horses had a fair
send off, but Atto Rex, the favorite, got in a pocket at the
tnrn, and had to pull out on the turn to get an opportunity
to forge ahead. Margaret S. led to the qnarter in 35 seconds.
Lord Byron second, Atto Res third. At the three-eighths
pole Lord Byron pissei Margaret S , and led at the quarter
in li09f. On the upper turn Atto Res went to second place,
and forced out Lord Byron in the fast time of 2:18; Alfred
G. third, Margaret S. fourth, Pink fifth, and Rabe bringing

ite at $100, Atto Rex $60 and field $16. They were off on
the third score with Lord Byron first at the quarter, and
Atto Rex second. Lord Byron broke near the half, and let
Margaret S. lead. Up the backstretch nearly all broke, bat

8. came very fast, and beat Atto Res out at the wire by two
lengths, with Alfred G. third.

Fourth Heat. Prior to the fourth heat the field jumped to
favorite at $125, Byron $127 and Rex $64. In the fourth
heat Margaret led at theqmrter, Alto Rex second, Alfred
and Byron following. Tbe three last named horses broke
simultaneously, giving Margaret a great opportunity to in-
crease her lead. She did so, and it looked as though she
would never be reached. Byron, however, settled down, and
in the stretch Bhowed a great borst of speed and finished
neck and neck at the wire with Margaret. The judges gave
the horse the heat, and a cry of dissatisfaction arose. At
best, the heat was a dead one, especially as the mare trotted
flat during the entire mile, while the horse varied the monot-
ony by rnnning, even when under the wire. Time, 2:19o.
Owing to the darkness, the race was postponed until Monday.

At the conclusion of the running races on Monday the
borsemeD were called up for the

Fifth Heal. Pools sold, field $50, Lord Byron, 137 50,

These positions were maintained to the ^alf in 1:09. On tbe
upper torn Rex went to the second plice. Lord Byron had
the race at all times, from the score to the finish, and jogged
under the wire an easv winner by two lengths from Alto Rex
in the fast time of 2:18.

TUESDAY.

Another good crowd was in. The day was exceedingly
warm, the track fast. On the card the first event was the
Three-year-old Trot,

First Heal — Only Palo Alto's Sunol and Pleasanton's Mar-
garet S. started, and Sunol was bo great a favorite that there
was no pool Belling on the contest. Margaret S. had the pole;
they got the word to a head and head start. Sunol took first
place on the turn and at the quarter was a head in front. At
the half there was a length of daylight between them, which
was never closed. Snnol winning in a jog in 2:20i.

Second Heat— Another walkover for the Palo Alto filly. She
lead from the wire, going with that smooth gait peculiar to
her, aud finished easy by a length in front of Margaret in
2:213-.

Third Heal — The heat was a repetition of the preceding
ones except that Marvin had received instructions to speed
the mare a little. He let her go the three-quarters at a fair
clip and then came down the straight with a burst of speed.
Once or twice he encouraged her with the whip and she fin-
ished just a little tired in 2:18, Margaret S. within a length
of her, winning for herself a race record in the notch of her
two-year-old record against time.

stretch before Holly got him down, and when the crowd got
to the half, Franklin flashed by first, Jim L second, Victor
third, in a slight break, Valentine fifth, Don Tomas with him.
On the second turn they crowded closer together, Victor

the straight, Franklin third, Valentine fourth and Jim L.
fifth. Time, 2:24$.

tor following him closely, Don Tomas third on the outside
and Franklin fourth at the pole. Jim L was lame, and trot-
ting away back. On the backstretch Franklin passed Vic-
tor for second place, and at the half it was Valentine, Frank-
lin, Victor and Don Tomas half a length apart. This wbb
the order to the head of the straight; there Franklin crowded
ahead of Valentine followed by Victor. Valentine lost his
feet, and when Holly attempted to settle him, he tangled
himself and fell down. Franklin made a break, but quickly
recovered himself, and closely pressed by Victor, won the
beat in 2:21.]-, Don Tomas well up, third, Jim L. distanced.
Valentine's injury from the fall sent him to tbe stable.

the fourth heat, and Franklin Bold against them at $40 to
$10. "When the word came Franklin went away around the
turn with Don Tomas on his wheel and Victor a length be-
hind him. The positions were not greatly altered until they
reached the straight, and then Victor made a last effort. Don
Tomas broke and the tight was left to tbe heat winners, but
Franklin outspeeded ''hayseed," and took the heat and race
from him by three lengths. Time 2:2H.

WEDNESDAY.

Anotier runners' day brought another good attendance.
The events were all first-class and interested the crowd. The
weather was fair, but oppressively hot, track fast. "Doc"
Aby was starter and did his work well. First thing of the
afternoon was

Two-year-olds; £ mile.
Palo Alto had in the two invincibles, Racine and Flam-
beau, and L. U Shippee started his right good Longfellow
colt, Fellowcharm. There was no bteting to speak of. Ra-
cine had Morton np at 115 pounds, Flambeau Scotield at 110,
and Fellowcharm Narvice at 105. When the flag went down
Racine was a head in front of Flambeau aud Lalf a length to
the good of Fellowcharm. They went aowc the backstretch
at a good clip, Racine first at" the half, Flambeau at hie

flank, Fellowcbarm at his heels. There was no change in
the positions except that the Palo Alto pair drew awav from
Fellowcbarm on the straight. Narvice tried to bring Fellow-
charm up, bnt failed. Kacine went in a gallop, Flambeau at

119, L. U. Shipoee's b f Songstress 109, and Jo McBride's
ch c Longshot, 122. Pools sold lmrline S40, field $16, Lur-
line's recent performance entitled her to favorite's place and
confidence in her was renewed when it became known that
Morton was to ride her. It was a great fall down, Shippee
sending another outsider to victory. At the send-off Long-
shot was a head in front of Lnrline and they passed the wire
for the first time Songstress leading, Lnrline at the break,
Songstress laying back two lengths. On the first turn Lnr-
line showed in front and stayed there to the middle of the
backstietch when LongBhot collared her; she ran with him a
short distance and then quit altogether both LoDgshot and
Songstress pressing ner with ease. On the second turn
Songstress was an open length behind Longshot, but she
was going fast and when they entered the Btraight she had
closed the gap and was leading him by a head. From there
she drew away from him easy. TTe got the whip and quit
and the race was over. Songstress galloped in four lengths
in front of Longshot, Lnrline away back third. Time, 1:58.

starting. Pools sold: Ed McGinnis $50, field $12. The
first heat was a surprise. Tycoon jumped off in front, and
as they went around the turn he was first by a length, Ed
McGinnis second and Forester third, at McGinnis' flank.
They were going at a fast clip, and there was to change in
the positions until they got into the second turn, where Ty-
coon opened a length of daylight ahead of McGinnis, and
Forester began to qnit. In the straight McGinnis came up
to Tycoon's shoulder and looked like a winner, but Hitch-
cock put his spurs into Tycoon, and he poked his nose in
front of McGinnis. Cook then drew his whip; Hitchcock did
the same, and under a terrific drive Ihey came down to the
wire, Tycoon winning by a bare head, the crowd yelling itself
hoarse. Forester was sis lengths back. The board was
hung out with 1:42$ as the time.

The field we t up before the second heat, McGinnis still
selling favorite at $65, the field bringing $40. They were
slightly tangled up at the star', Forester away on the outside
of the track. As they passed the wire Forester swerved into
the fence and fouled Tycoon and pocketed Ed McGinnis. so
that when Tycoon ahouk Forester off, he got a lead of three
lengths, going around the turn before McGinnis conld get out
of the pocket and away. Once he got to running he flew
over the ground, leaving Forester away behind, and sleadily
closing up the gap, and when Tycoon reached the three-
qnartera, McGinnis .was barely a length behind him. Both
rider* began their work at the head of the straight. McGin-
nis Btayed at Tycoon's neck for a short distance, but his
loDg drive had winded him, and Tycoon drew away as they
neared the wire, and mushed first by two lengths. Forest <
was back a dozen lengths. Time, 1:42$.

A free purse of §300, for all ages, one mile, was the clos-
ing event on the regular programme and h ad ten starters,
Weloome, Lorimer, Longshot, G. "W. Glen Ellen, Duke Spen-
cer, Daisy D , Retta B., Abi and Hotspur, Abi and Lorimer,
were sold in the stable at $300, Daisy D. bringing $165,
Welcome $105 and the field $280. Piles of money went into
the box on the event. The biggest pool sold was Thornton's
stable $350, Daisy D., $250, Welcome $175 and" the field
$325. For a big crowd Lhey got a good start, Lorimer going
away in front, attended by G. W. At the quarter G. w. and
Lorimer were on even terms, Ab third with Glen Ellen at her
flank. On tha backstrefcch G. W. moved to the front and at
the half 'ead by a length, Retta B and Glen Ellen together in
third place and Daisy D. in front of the ruck. They bunched
slightly on the turn and came into the straight well together.
Longshot made a ran out of the crowd followed by Daisy D,
but neither of them could catch the leaders. Glen Ellen and
Abi were together in third place when Glen Ellen came out
with a burst of speed and got in front at the distance post.
She made the lead two lengths and won handily that dis-

tance, Abi snatching second by a head from G. W. Time,

were sold, Williams bringing $25, Ashe $25, and Garnett $6.
Williams on Bryant W. went off in front, closely followed by
ABhe, Garnett laying his mount back. The positions did not
change until they got into the straight; then Ashe got his
mount in front and looked like a winner, when Garnett got
Billy D. to his speed and brought him to the front with a
rush, winning by a head from Ashe in 1:47£.

Sacramento Gossip.

Edwin C. the pacer has been placed in Orrin Hickok's
hands and he will handle him the remainder of the season.

lhe State Fair has produced the best mile and repeat race
of the year. Tycoon taking the Del PaBo Stake in 1:42 J
l:42f.

And seldom sees a better race than the 2:30 class Saturday.
Five heats from 2:18 to 2:19£ is great racing for that class of
horses.

The three minute class is getting to be pretty fast when
they force a winner to go three heats in 2:22£, 2:22£ and
2:24£.

Quinton gave Tolo Maid a little warming up Saturday, and
she was driven to the half in 1:06, the last quarter being done
in 0:31£ seconds.

Jessie C. was a nice little pick-up in the Sunnv Slope Stak
for4two year olds. Betting was $130 to $25 against her, and
she was never headed . The pair-mutuals paid handsomely.

Before the beginning of the races Saturday, Orrin Hiekok
drove Stamboale a couple of miles, sending mm the last half
of one mile in 1:07, unaccompanied by a runner.

By the time Shippee sends two or three more dark horae8
out to snatch races from hot favorites, as he has done with
Picnic and Songstress, the talent will begin to look out for
his starters, and understands that a horse must be fit when
the Shippee lets him face the flag.

Theo. Winters is one of the celebreties at the track. He
went up into the country last week to purchase the Adams
Banoh near the Langtry Farm, but the sale somehow fell
through.

Sunol's race record of 2:18 is very acceptable fo Palo Alto.
Senator Stanford was on the track that day with some Eas-
tern friends, and special instructions were given Marvin to
drive her one fast heat in the race.

Nobody seems to be able to get anything out of PleaBan-
ton's b g Homestake. He is not a bad horse, but such a
breaker that he has twice this week been distanced in the
first heat of the only races in' which he started. Miller drove
him once, then McDonell made an unsuccessful effort with
him. Next time I shall expect to see Mr. Salisbury give him
a trial.

Margaret S. has several defeats to acknowledge this sea-
son. Three-year-old Lillian Wilkes and Suuol have both beat-
en her at every meeting with ease, but for a bruising race of
five or six heats she is the best three-year-old of the year. I
don't think Andy McDowell ever showed what the filly was
capable of in her races with the other three-year-olds.

I am told that Stamboul will start for the first time at
Stockton next week in an endeavor to go in 2:12, and win
that bet of $5,000. Failing there, he will probably go next at
the Breeder's meeting at the Bay District.

Jolly, genial "Doc" Aby makes a splendid starter. He
hasn't made a boll of it yet. He has the peculiar faculty of
brow-beating cheeky jockeys into submission, and they obey
him. He doesn't let a sulky skate keep a crowd at the post
either. Monday he run the programme of foar races off in
three hours, I would like to see him wield the flag at the
Blood Horse meeting this fall.

The end of the Dawn-Lillie Stanley race is not yet. Andy
McDowell it very sore over the widespread accusation that
he pulled Stanley, and be proposes to have it proved that he
did it. He said to me the other day: "If I were guilty of the
charge I would not make so much noise about it, but I want
it investigated. I can prove that there was no job in the
race by the manner in which the pools sold, and by the
testimoney of horsemen as to the mare's condition. I pro-
pose to have this thing sifted to the bottom, and then 1 pro-
pose tb sue somebody for defamation of character." It is un-
derstood that A, L. VVhitnty will take a hand in an investi-
gation also.

President Christopher Green has held the bell at every
day's races since the fair began, and I have yet to hear the
firdt kick against bis starting. All the judges have done well,
only one decision bo for calling out any criticism.

Fleet did not make the showing which was expected of
her in the race for two-year-olds, Saturday. Her failure is
ascribed to severe work before the race began. They wanted
to send her with company so as to quiet her before going to
the score, and she was driven two miles in 5:10, the last oDe
in 2:29, and then another in 2:30. The thing was over-done,
and it was an alreaiy tired filly which started in the race.

How fast will the 2:25 class pacers go before the season
ends. Edwin C. a dark horse in the class, surprised every-
body the other day by winning a beat in 2:18£, and then
taking the race in 2:20J and 2:19£. The first heat of the
race was paced in 2:18, and the Becond in 2:19£, giving both
Ned Winslow and Longworth records. Asa betting race it
has no equal, the Lord only knowing what is going to win.

A match race between Atto Bex and Lord Byron for $5,000
a side is one of the things spoken of this week . The other
night E. B. Gifford, Scott Quinton and a lot of other horse-
men were Bitting in front of the Golden Eagle discussing the
merits of the several starters in Atto Bex's class, and Mr.
Gifford offered to match his colt against any of tnem. It
wasn't long until he got an offer for a $5,000 match from the
Lord Byron people. He accepted with the understanding
that the' race should be trotted at Los Angeles during the
meeling there. Byron's friends wouldn't go to Los Angeles,
and the selection of a track was under discussion when the
two horses met in Saturday's race. Byron made a great
showing there, and I haven't heard of the match since. I am
of the opinion that Byron can go in 2:15 without much trou-
ble, and I don't think Atto Bex can do it.

In the stallion race of Friday in which Direct, Bay Bose
and Boss S. started, some man who had money on Bay Bose
complained that the horse was not being driven out. He
offered to bet that he could find a man who conld drive him
the third heat better than 2:20. Hiekok produced the
money to cover the bet, but the gentleman didn't come to time.
Hiekok th6n went to the stand and asked that another
driver be put up, and Jimmy Du9tin mounted the sulky and
finished the race. The ho«e was not in condition for a
bruiser, and Direct was too speedy for him.

Peel is a mighty good colt, and be will do to put money on
every time. I was glad to see him go the mile and a quarter in
the Prize Stake in 2:0SJ, and I believe he can, good day and
good conrse, run ike distance in 2:08. Laura Gardner, that
very good daughter of Jim Brown, beat Idalene Cotton out
by a head in 2:0S£ at Los Angeles a year ago. but it has been
said that she had the advantage of the match that day, and
did not go in better than 2:09. Dry Mooopole ran the dis-
tance at Brooklyn in 1887 in 2:07, and I want to see Peel do
it this year. Ed McGinnis could come very near it himself.
It was currently reported that he was not right Monday, still
he ran a good race, and had Peel straightened out and going
for all there was in him. Henry Welsh thought at one time
on the straight that his colt was beaten.

One of the heaviest plungers on the track during the fair
has been a woman, a stranger to the Western tracks. She
goes altogether upon public form and hits with the average
of an old timer. She is not a bad judge of a horse and scans
them closely as they come out for the preliminary gallop.
When Picnic came out in the mile and a quarter dash Fri-
day the woman saw and fancied her. Her money went on
the mare at any odds. As everybody know6 Picnic was the
only thiDginit, and the female plunger won a goodly sum,
which she placed upon Mikado and won again in the celling
pur^e. Monday she picked Lurline for the capital city stake
and won, but sue made an error in McGinnis for the prize
stakes the same day, though the Grinstead colt made it very
warm work for Peel. The lady does not go very heavily on
trotter?, but lays a few dollars on them now and then.

THE_GITN,

Beat Length for Short Barrels.

The query, What is the best length for shortgun barrels in
the different bores? is one of the unanswered questions. The
practice of gun-makers who commonly send oat thirty-inch
barrels, unless otherwise ordered, might suggest a fixed be-
lief that thirty inches was the best length, but conversation
with any gun-maker will soon dispel that notion. In so far
as we have been able to ascertain, the matter of balanoe haB
had ag much or more to do with determining length than any
one factor. Certain it is that discussion about length of bar-
rels affords unending entertainment whenever sportsmen
meet.

Most readers would say that the length should depend
somewhat on the bore, but just how the length should com-
pare with the bore is the real question. The cbief object in
view in determining the length of barrel is at get such a
length that all the powder will be consumed in the barrel,
and the shot at an ordinary sbotgun range— say, forty yards
— be spread evenly over the largest target possible, and yet
kept so close together tbat the game could by no mtans es-
cape alive were it within the limits of that target.

With a view of aiding owners of shotguns in deciding how
long a pair of tubes ought to be, the London Field recently
instituted a series of experiments. Two gnns were con-
structed, eaoh a single barrel of 12-bore. One of these was
choked and the other was a relieved cylinder — that is, the
muzzle was opened out a little after the moat approved fash-
ion for the modern so-called oylinders. As first constructed,
the barrels were 2S inches long, a circumstance that indicates
that very good English authority thinks that length quite
enough. At this length a aeries of shots was fired at a regis-
tering target, by which it could be definitely determined how
many pellets out of a given charge Btruck inBide of a 30-inch
circle; how many struck on a square, 10 inches on a side, in
the center; the force with which these pellets struck; the
average force of a pellet.

Then, inasmuch as some sorts of powder might do much
better work in a short barrel than some other sorts, it was
thought advisable to repeat the series of shots fired with
each of seven different makes and sizes of powder, including
the black and the nitro-compounds.

With regard to the charges of powder and shot used, the
Field sayo:

"We adopted with each kind of powder exactly the same
charge for all lengths of barrel, using 42 grains of the nitro-
compounds and 3 drachms or 82 grains with No. 4 black
powder; but with brown powder, and with black of smaller
or larger grain than that above stated, we adopted the
charges recommended by Messrs. Curtis and Harvey as im-
parting the same velocity to the shot as 3 drachms of No.
4, viz., 76 grains of No 2, 86 grains of No. 6, and 87 grains
of brown. The respective charges o powder were all used
with l1 ounces of No. 6 chilled shot, (270 pellets to the
ounce), in Eley's best cases, loaded with 11§ black and pink
wad over the powder, then a f -inch best felt, a white card
between felt and shot, and another white card over the shoe.
With the brown powder, however, owing to the large
amount of space it occupied, it was found requisite to omit
the card between felt and shot, in order to afford a sufficient
amount of turnover in the case. The black powders used,
however, were not all made by Messrs. Curtis and Harvey*.
It had been represented to us. with reference to previous
experiments, that by using the black powder of one tirm ex-
clusively it looked as if there were no other manufacturers
of similar powder in existence, so in the present instance we
adopted the No. 4 of Messrs. Curtis and Harvey (which is
usually chosen as the standard of comparison in trials
against nitro-compounds), while for No. 2 grain we took that
of Messrs. Hall, andfor No. 6 that of Messrs. Pigorj,Wilksand
Laurence, these being the three firms that had been repre-
sented in the Field gun trials some years ago."

In all, thirty-five charges were fired from each tube, choked
and cylinder, and then the tubes were cut down two inches.
Of course, this ma erially altered the form of the interiors.'
To remedy this the muzzle of the choke was compressed and
then bored out with the same tool that had been used in
boring out the original 28 inch barrel, to give a choke of the
same form as near as might be. The cylinder was in like
manner relieved by opening out to its original diameter at
the muzzle. Then the shds were repeated.

It is not unlikely the reader will tbiok that the barrels
might better have been cut off" at the butt and the muzzles
lett untampered with, but this would have been more expen-
sive, and would really have been no more satisfactory.
From 26 inches the tubes were reduced to 24, and then to
22. Of the record* made by the whole series of shots the
experimenter says: —

When the barrel was 28 inches long, and again when it
bad been reduced to 26 iuohes, the shooting was fairly reg-
ular with the whole of the powders; but when the gun bad
been cut down to 24 ioches, and again to 22 inches, some
wild shooting occurred with moat of the powders, though
not with the whole of them, the wildness generally taking
the form of a scattering of the pellets round the circumfer-
ence of the 30-inob circle, leaving a blank in the centre bo
that in half a dozen instances cot a siogle pellet out of a
charge containing 304 was placed on ihe 10-inch square plate
of the force guage, used in the middle of the 30-mcb cirole
and consequently no record of force was made. In other
instances the pellets in fhe centre were few in number
only 4, 6, 7 or 9 pellets striking the 10-inch circle, although
Us area of 100 square inches comprised about one-seventh
of the entire spa. e of Ihe 30-inoh circle.

Generally speaking, when there are very few pellets thrown
on the centre plate, the force recorded was feeble- but oc
casionally it was otherwise, when (the pellets came in a
cluster, as m the case of seven pellets with No 6 black
powder ,rom the 24-inch barrel, the force then bein- mucn
higher than was shown with the same powder at anytime
during the Beriea of experiments.

In the summary of the records made, which appears below
the reader will observe tbat the force recorded for tbe 26-inch
barrel was leas than that for either the 28-inch or the 24 inch
barrel. This, the experimenter explains, was due to unfavor-
able weather, and not to the length of the barrel.

The averages taken that are marked with an asterisk n
are those m which the wild shots were fired; that is those
shots in which the pellets were gathered in a ring that almost

■?i\TbRtu ?h«forte ™«*,iiuy target, ten inches aquare
in the 30-inch circle. ^ '

Tbe summary of it all is that in general averages one leDgth

is about as good as another, but that the two short lenutbs

22 and ?4 inch, are untrustworthy. Without apparent reasou

very wild and erratic reunite were obtained. With tbe ordi

nary slow-burning No. 6 black powder, the sort used by a

majority of gunners on account of its cheapness, the 26-inch

barrel made the very high average of 154 pellets in the circle

The shooting was quite as regular, too, as that in any of the
trials with other powders, or longer oi' shorter barrels. In
number of pellets it was tbe highest average recorded, while
the force, when the state of the weather is considered, was
satisfactory.

A well-posted correspondent of the Field writeB in criticism
of the experiments to say that had speoial efforts been made
to regulate the boring of the short barrels so as to obtain the
best patterns possible, juBt as good results would have been
obtained from 24-inch barrels aa firm tbe longer ones. In
other words, instead of keeping the relief or the choke in the
short barrel just as it was when tbe barrel was long, it ought
to have been tickled up until the pattern and force were satis-
factory. Certain guns which had been so modified with
excellent results are referred to.

Among American makers the 30-inch barrel is the standard
length, but the shorter lengths, with a guaranteed pattern,
can be bad of well-known makers to order at a amall advance
in price.

From this it appears tbat the day of 30-inch barrels of 12-
bore is past, save "for speoial purposes. The two objections
to long barrels are their weight and tbe greater difficulty of
handling them in a thicket.

With dawDing day the Pilgrims were astir, refreshed by
the peaceful slumbers of a gracious night. After morning
orisons sonorously chanted by Chaplain Condict (sub-Deacon
Daggett responding with a short-handled shovel), breakfast
disappeared in the easy manner possible only to hungry be-
ings with great clearness of conscience. And then right into
the very hearts of the pilgrim band came inspiration for val-
orous deeds, for steadfaBt endeavor, for persistence through
the narrow and never Btraight ways, for a time, times and
more timeB, even to the very end of things. The heart of
tbe artist alone was exceeding heavy, for smoke from the
great mountain fires on Mt. Breckenridge made it beyond
question impossible to take views of the Basin in any wise
worthy of its beauty. Counselor Miller, in his even-tempered
way, soothed ihe ruffled artistic plumes by proving: 1 — Fire
cannot burn forever; 2--No tire, no Bmoke; 3— Clear enough
when we return. After all this and considerably more con-
siderably like it, at 6 a. m., July 21st, tbe cavalcade set forth
upon the Becond day's journey. A long level stretch, and
then a winding climb up Beulah Moantains, where, at tbe
very summit, tbe first photograph was taken by tbe modern
Pilgrims. Then through a long, narrow, landlocked canyon,
in the main of gentle descent, but all tbe time down and
down, in due time the now decrepit town of

HAV1LAH

"Was reached. Time was when Havilah shone brilliantly in
the bright light of its own proper glory, but its days of power
have passed away; its Doges have for the last time wedded
Kern River, at the month of Clear Creek by the Sea; foreign
powers, concealed under the guise of Eastern Mining Com-
panies, have ceased paying tribute, but it still lives, enjoy-
ing a lovely old age. The winds of Heaven are now as clear,
as invigorating, as delightful, as in its mightiest days; its
incomparable climate reoks not of business decay; the Spirit
of Health dwells on every hillside and encompasses each
lovely glen. However men may come and and go, it is set in
the Crown of Nature as one of her choicest jewels. Amen!

Havilah is a Greek word signifying a circle. It has always
been supposed that some Biblical student named this town
from the eleventh verse of the second chapter of Genesis
which says, "The whole land, of Havilah, where there is
gold." Careful research among the aroha3ological records so
ably kept by County Clerk N. R. Packard, leads to another
conclusion, which is this: Old Mr. Noah, who was born some
years ago, bad three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. At 100
years of age, and two years before the Sacramento flood,
Sham begat Arphaxed, who at 35 begat Salab, and he at 30
begat Eber, who at 430 years of age begat Joktan for bis sec-
ond son. Joktan's twelfth son was named Havilah. From
him, right down to the Fall of '49, the family tree flourishes
with members. Iu the Spring of '50 the roots of the said
tree appear worm eaten, and there is a Blight hitch some-
where, but that is of no consequence. It is evident, it has
to be, that pome lineal descendant of Mr. Shem wandered
over into that beautiful nook, and named the town in memory
of his forefathers and to perpetuate the family line. The
pr-onf of this thing would be ample, if the wanderer aforesaid
could be found, but he must have been gathered to his
uncles. (At Ibis junction tbe Pilgrims wearied with inuBty
researches, entered into a grotto dedicated to Gambrinus,

and there, in quiet retreat they oan be left until further on in
this chapter.)

III.
Accidents are disorderly and to even tbe keenest human
perception, the most unruly membersof tbe realm of un-
reason. Yet the crash of accident is often enough followed
by an orderly sequence of incident to warrant the assump-
tion that far and away beyond human ken, there may exist
a law for accidents — perhap even a rule for impossibilities —
by which their order, purpose and plan are fashioned after
the manner of an exact science.

The discovery of the rich gold mines whioh have yielded
so largely in Havilah is a feather in tbe cap of this presump-
tion. It was yet in the early days of the war when parties
who were wanted by the United States for feats in blockade
running, preferred anything rather than strict governmental
jurisdiction, and so took rapidly to the rear of civilization.
In the region of Havilah they were a long ways from any-
where, and equally from danger. Near to the canon in
which tbe present town is located, there is a hnge dyke of
white rook. There are quartz ite, limestone, feldspar, and
perhaps other substances, bat the great ledgu was bant n of
precious metals in its womb, and will ever remain so. These
active-minded, early day prospectors, however, took a chunk
of the white rock one day to Kernville, where there then
was some mining going on. They put it in tbe tire of a
blacksmith and heated it red hot.

It must be admitted to this day tbat tbe average prospec-
tor believes in tbe Divine Sovereignty of a blacksmith's tire.
It relieves bis feelings to blow the btllows; he likeB to blow
into the meek and tender blacksmith all about his ledge, and
hie relations and everything else that is of no consequence;
and if at the end, he binds no gold in his sample it has any-
how pulverized the easier for the burning, and he is content.
And the blacksmith — well, he is a temporary lamb. He
mildly lets almoBt anyone take bis lire, get sulpbnr into it,
solder or any other vicious subBtance, and generally on the
eve of an important ft old. And he smiles a kind of a half-
cooked Binile illumined by charcoal smudge, so long as bis
friendly enemy is ib possession. But afterward, phew! coals
scatter all over tbe shop; tongs fly all about the place; tbe
blueness of indigu invades Ibe atmosphere, and the son of
Vulcan does not resume happineBs until he has kicked over
the slack tub.

This barren chunk, prospector like, was put into tbe first
blacksmith tire within reach, heated as before told, then
carefully taken out and left -to cool off, while all hands could
go around the corner to see an interesting man, and warm
np. The blacksmith had a ten dol ar gold piece in his pocket,
and either not being invited, or not wishing to join the gang,
bad a qniet Bhop all to himself. So, upon the now cooling
rock, even to the smallest fragment, and with great care, be
rubbed the edges of hia gold piece. This was a very thin
way to make gold leaf, ye; it resulted in very handsome,
and apparently, very rich specimens, As tbe Costa Ricans
say, being interpreted, "a little gold greases a large palm;"
eo judicious rubbing upon a hot rock, makes a beau iful sur-
face—of veneer. In due time the clan returned, and at first
sight became visibly agitated. Every bit of the precious rock
was carefully gathered, and impressed to silence by the golden
possibilities before them, the crowd silently left tbe shop.
The blacksmith was mum; he dared not be otherwise, after
seeing the tremendous effect of a bit of get-even fun. That
evening there were whisped consultations quiet corner button-
no lings, straight (,tips" to next friend, and before dawn of
day, a party of thirty or thereabouts had left tbe camp, in
the mysterious way of excited gold hunters. The big, ugly,
barren white dyke was soon thereafter claimed and located
for nearly two miles in length No one seemed to think of
prospecting tbe rock; it was enough that it "showed gold,"
and all were anxious with the unduly haste of excitement, to
get a claim and take ont quartz for milling as Boon as possi-
ble. So, while some mined on the dyke, others built trails,
and still others constructed five arastras to be worked by
horse power. And still, according to the incomprehensible
law of accidents, no one ever thought of prospecting the rock,
and no one at that day ever did prospect it, so far as known.
The stuff was mined, packed to the arastras and there
ground by night and by day, until at tbe end of five months,
the time for cleaning np came, and not an ounce of gold was
found as the result of all bis labor. Tbe miner's hopes
were founded upon tbe sand, and their rewards fell down.
Buoyed by excitement, laboring with hope, allured by the
expectation of a harvest of gold, they came to an everlasting
smash agaiost tbe impassible barrier of no results. The fame
of thiB "rich discovery", and the record of aotive work bad
spread after the manner of all legends, and other gold seekers
had flockek into the camp, but tbe big white dyke was all
appropriated and jealously guarded. So overflow discoveries
were made per force, and they proved to be rich in truth and
almost ponred out golden rewards. They were up hill, and
down dale, away from the canon, and bat for the peculiar oc-
curence of things as portrayed, might be even now, lying un-
discovered.

And to this day, the white dyke lies barren, scarred in-
deed, by the zealous bands of misguided enthusiasts; the rich
mines may or may not be worked out— that is for the Court
of the future to decide, but: the accident of war Bet stirring
men afloat; a bit of fuu made them excited; their useless
work created a drawing reputation; others than they, found
rich mines. Q. E. D.

[In the meantime the poor Pilgrims are suffering, but must
pititlesBly be left to cultivate endurance under tribulation
until somehow a chance can be found whioh will say amen to

Killed a Deer.

Says the Gridley Herald of September 12th: "Monday,
of last week, the herders engaged in driving Miller & Lux's
cattle from Oregon to the range in Southern California, found
three deer — bnok and two does— m their herd on tbe Hutch -
ins ranch, Central House. Tbe men had no firearms with
them, but they gave chase on horseback nntil the game took
to the river, swam across, and disappeared in the brush on
this side. Wednesday afternoon the deer were seen by tbe
driver of a butcher wagon in the vicinity of the gravel pit.
That night some hounds scented and chased them. They
crossed Stone's Held, south of town, and passed between tbe
schoolhouse and Mrs. Qcimby's. One of Dr. Harris' dogs
tackled them ae they crossed tbe street, about 9:30, and the
band separated — tbe does going west on the country road,
the buck running into tbe thicket next to tbe Methodist
Church, thence into the alley, where be vaulted into C. N,
Reed's, going over the gate. The gate is only about four
feet high, while tbe pickets around the corral are twelve feet
in height. When Mr. Reed went home at 10:30 he saw tbe
buck drinking out of the water trough. Sneaking around to
the gateway unperceived by tbe deer, be picked up a brick
and threw it with suoh accuracy and force as to hit the sni?
mal behind the right ear and knock it unconscious. He

then entered the corral and, seating himself on the deer's
neck, began yelling for help. Dr. Harris hastened to the
rescue with a butcher knife, with wtiieh the venison was
soon secured. Quite a number of our people had venison
for breakfast last Thursday. Mr. Heed presented the head
and antlers — and they are magnificent rive-pronged ones — to
1). Sheridan, who seat them to Marysville, where they are
now being stuffed and preserved by an expert taxidermist.
After they are thus treated and properly mounted Mr. Sheri-
dan will give the trophies a post of honor in his place of
business.

I am spending a few weeks at this famous resort during the

In the Pheasant-Breeding Field-

Before luDch, on a blazing day at the end of June, or as it
passes into July, when it is perfectly hopeless to seek the
iroui stream, there is no pleasanter walk at a country house
than that which leeds to the keeper's cottage, says an En-
glish wiiter. Somewhere near it the field will be found
where yoong pheasants aie reared. It is always a pretty .sight
to see them toddling round their foster mothers, while a chat
with a well-informed keeper largely inoreases a man's knowl-
edge of game, shooting and natural history. The flower gar-
den is a brilliant spectacle, and the ladieB probably deter-
mine that they will stay there under the shade ot trellises
covered with roses. We push on through the pleasant walks
which hem it in, on the edge of the park, and crossing by a
rustic bridge, a stream which bounds the "policies" (as the
Scotch would call them), find ourselves, as soon as a gate is
unlooked, on the home farm. Its pleasing sward opens be-
fore us, swelling upwards towards a wood. After a broiling
walk the cool shade is moat refreshing, while the turpentine
fragrance of its firs delights the nose as much aB its Bpires of
foxgloves and coronets of ferns do the eye. A couple of
rielas on the other side lies the keeper's cottage, at the back
of which is a kind of miniature encampment among the short
grass which runs down to the sandhills, beyond which flows
the river. These dark coops contain each a foster mother,
and around her are running from a dozen to eighteen young
pheasants, their dark brown hues contrasting well with the
vivid green of the grass. Near each coop the careful keeper
has placed a large bushy bongh, under which the little onts
may ran, either for shelter irom too great heat or to escape
from a hawk. A falcon's wings are of inestimable impor-
tance to it. Should they be injured, the feathers broken and
thelike.it looses in gieat measure the power of gaining a
livelihood, so it instinctively rtfuses to plunge into brush-
wood or branches; it will rather soar aloft for a moment, and
then sweep off disappointed.

Here comes the kteper. He tells as that he first searches
by the roads and paths for pheasants' eggs, and then goes
farther afield into the plantations. The egg-i thus procured
are put under healthy domestic hens, each in its own hen-
coop, and each has tu sit on from fourteen to eighteen egg*
er even more. These hencuops can be lifted, as it conduces
greatly towards health if fresh patches of grass can be se-
cured from time to time. It is a good plan to confine the
foster mothers in the coops before putting the pheasants'
eggs unaer them, as Ihey will probably lay there and be
mure easily induced to take the game eggs. The grassy
held ought not to be used moie than two or three years in
succession, as disease is almost sore to show itself, probably
that dire ailment the gapes. This is now discovered to arise
from germs which occupy the common earth worm as their
•'hoat/'aud poshing their way into the young pheasants'
gullet speedily kill it, if it has not strength to cough ihem
up. We walk round, and the keeper shows us an old hen
shepherding three ducklings, ten pheasants and two chick-
ens, a strangely assorted family. He has an assistant who is
now prowling round the field, gnn in hand looking out of
coarse for ciows, jackdaws, magpies, any bird in short bigger
than a blackbird. We defend the jay, and are told (and cor-
recti y, we b lieve) that it only attacks eggs. The owl is an-
other bird for which we take np the cudgels. The keeper
acquits the barn owl of acy nefarious designs upon his
chicks. It may happen, he says, that when the owl has
young it sallies forth, and will at such a time attack even
a young pheasant.

But i ma is quite the exception, and he almost always spares
this owl. Its urother, the brown owl. is undoubtedly de-
structive to came, and we are afraid nothing can be said in
its favour. Kestrels as a rule only carry off the young chicks
when they have broods clamorous at home for sustenance.
Mice are the proper food fur the kestrel. Of all birds the
keeper hates none bo much as "them blue hawks," i. e spar-
row hawks. They will Bwoop upon their victim in a moment
as they unsuspiciously flit along by the hedgerow, and are by
far the most destructive of winged plagues. Traps are set
all round the field for weasels, stoats, and ratB. Should a
dog appear at night he will be remorselessly shot, aB a stray
dog not only harasses sheep but also frightens the old hens
and devours the tender game chicks. After the Utile ones
are hatched they need no food for the first twelve hours.
Then eggs should be boiled hard and chapped line for them
Afterwards some of the innumerable patent foods may be
Berved out of them. Custard and meal, rice and greavep, will
form the staple of their food supplies, and of course an ant's
hill dug up and thrown to them is a continual source of de-
light to the little things as they scratch about round it and
secure dainties.

What the coht of thus rearing pheasants comes to ifl vari-
ously Btated, perhaps about Is. 7d. or 2s. per bird represents
it fairly enough. When eggs have thus been gathered and
hatched a good keeper should bring from seventy to seventy-
five per cent of the birds hatohed to the gun. (See Badmin-
ton treatise on "Field and Covert Shooting," p. 234 ) It is
well Dot to pay him by results. When the cheepers have
grown up and left their foster-mothers, besides hand feeding
: night and morning it is a good thing to place in the planta-
, Uons frequented by the birds a box tilled with buck wheat,
; or to throw down a pile of barley straw or the like at a fixed

i

place, for the birds to resort to, This will keep them to-
gether for shooting in October. While speaking of the cost
of this method ofreariDg pheasants no more trustworthy
statistics can be fouud than those quoted by Lord Walsing*-
ham in the above treatise.

"If we allow three men, or two men with a boy to assist in
preparing food, this will be an amply sufficient staff to rear
1,000 pheasants. Their services would be required for about
sixteen weeks — Bay up to September 1st — and if we take their
wages at an average of 15s. a week, the coBtis £36. A peck
measure of chopped food will be about sufficient for each
feeding round, and during the whole time £50 should be am-
ply sufficient to provide the necessary food. This sum allows
Is. forthe feeding of each pheasant. Hena may be bought in
February or March at about 2s. to 2s. 4d. each, and Bhould be
sold again in August at Is. 6d. to Is. 8d.; allow 30 b. for
wear and tear of coops, and without calculating anything
for the rent of the land occupied, the co6t of each pheasant
when turned off into the covert will be about Is. 7d. from the
time of hatohing."

The author goes on to consider that this estimate will, in
certain cases, be much exceeded. On the other band we
fancy it wiil be found that when fewer birds — say six or
seven hundred only— are reared, the cost per bird will not be
so great.

The lunch bell will soon ring from the hall turret, and we
must be going. A few well-deserved compliments haviDg
been paid to the keeper, and he having expressed his hope
that by October he shall have a numerous body of pheasants
for gentlemen to shoot, we bid him good-bye. It is impos-
sible to avoid the obvious reflection while walking home,
how marvelously has the practice of shooting, together with
its appliances, altered in the last forty years. What further
developments remain for our grandchildren?

The San Jose Tournament.

Mr. Frank E Coykendall of the Garden City Gun Club,
San Jose, was in San Francisco on Tuesday last, and report-
ed preparations for the tournament of the California State
Sportsman's Association, well advanced. The shooting will
he done on the race track near tne city, than which a better
place could not be found, the plat being short stubble. A
very greatly reduced rate of fare has been granted over all
rail hues of the Southern Pacific Company, the round trip,
to San Jose and return will cost a fare and a third. Tho6e
who intend being present will do well to note these directions
for securing the reduction.

H. H. Briggs, at 313 Bush street, San Francisco, will fur-
nish to all applicants certificates which must be presented to
the ticket agents at starting points. The agent will make
necessary entries upon the certificates and return them to
those who buy tickets. The certificates must be taken to San
Jose and signed there by the Secretary of the 8tate Associa-
tion. After being so signed they will entitle bearers to return
to their homes on payment of one-third of the regular fares.
This reduction also covers the families of those who wish to
attend the tournament. Certificates will be sent out to all
sportsmen who have indicated an intention to be present at
San Jose, and if any others wish them a postal card request
should be sent to Mr. Briggs immediately. The tournament
will be a great one, and most enjoyable as well. Never haye
Buch rich trophies and such large amounts of coin been con-
tested for in California, nor have previous programmes been
so attractive. The first match, for the Selby trophy, will
occupy all of Wednesday, Oct. 9th, and the four days will be
well nlled.

The list of special prizes secured by Messrs. Frank E,
Coykendall, George C. Anderson and A. W. Ingalsbee of the

list made up before the meeting begins. The list is a BpleDdjd
one and is not yet complete. Clubs intending to compete
should at once notify the secretary of the association.

The Blue Rock Club of this city, the Garden City Club of
San Jose, the Los Gnto3 Club, the Pacific Gun Club of
Sacramento, the Stockton Gun Clab, the California Wing
Shooting Club of San Francisco, the Vacaville Gun
Club.the San Diego Gun Club, the Los Angeles
Gun Club, and the Colton Gun Club, will certainly
send teams, and some of the clubs two teamB. To
those who have been present at former meetings of the as-
sociation, nothing need be said of the pleasures incident to
them but 10 the numberless fine shots and genial men who
have not felt interest enough hitherto to make them take
part it may be hinted that no more delightful recreation can
be had than in such company as gathers yearly ;aB the State
Association.

Editor Beeedes and Sportsman:— Your sample copy
of the Breeder and Sportsman, the first I have seen in quite
a time found me taking after-luncheon nap in a delighttully
cool office. Of course, nap was off, not even "dead oat of
bounds," and the Breeder and Sportsman scored "Point"
unclaimed. After I had lighted up the "pipe" (aDd smoking
a new beauty jast from abroad), started in with "Petaluma"
down ahrongh all its details, ably and concisely described;
from there took flying trip over to "Chico," quartered in
Grim's Gossipy company, none better, until on page 184 I
ran bang up againBt "Best Trotting Record." Say, are you
dead in line? I have not the Record by me, but if you'll
refer to that one there on your desk you'll see that "H. B.
Winship" at Providence, R. I., August, '86, "aeainst time,"
before "official judges," on "Registered Trackj" trotted for
purse," with running mate, and obtained record of, I think,
2:06, possibly a fraction over. I quote from memory, but
there is many a bottle in it for you if I am not mistaken.
Look it up and have some sport with some of the "know
alls." Apropos to record, our new full mile course was
opened Tuesday, and the first race came within £ second of
splitting "Yolo Maid," 14^, Don Pizarro a Kentucky horse
is worth a whole lot of money now.

But a trace to horses; I love them none the less, but the
dog more. How I did enjoy your production of my letter
to you, or rather the lively merriment it caused my portly,
judicial brother, who still on all occasions recites "The Boy's
Kentucky Case," but I got the bitch after all, even if I did
have a big fight.

I enclose clipping from Times— Star, to show that I have
not entirely forgotten all sports, and when I get a chance to
select suitable present, choose one in that line; its a beauty,
and some time I hope to hold it on Borne of your flyers. I
also send clip from Enquirer of this date, showing my elec-
tion as President of O. V. A. C. You see I am still in lice.

Will, with your permission, when it gets a bit cooler, send
you presentable letter for publication under my old nom de
plume. C. L. Lundy.

Cintx, Ohio, September 12, '89.

[Mr. Lundy is right about the best trotting record, and the
correction is gratefully received. The clipping which he
enclosed is as follows, and we offer congratulations:

"Mr. Chas. L. Lundy, the well-known young attorney, is
wearing an elegant, double-6plit-second-fly-back gold watch,
with heavy gold chain and diamond pendant bearing the
inscription, showing that it was presented to him in recogni-
tion of legal services, by the president of a national bank of
a neighboring city.— Cincinnati Times, Sept. 6, '89."

A Model Game Preserve-

In view of the recent intimations that the Fish and Game
Commission intended to intioduce several sorts of foreign
game birds to California, any information about the experi-
ence of those who have entered upon similar labors in other
parts of America becomes particularly desirable, and it is
with pleasure that some notes are presented about nn Ameri-
can game preserve established in New Jersey, where climatic
and all other conditions are less_favorable to success than in
California:

. "The preserve is known as Tranquillity Farm. It is in
Warren County, and is the property ot Mr. Stoyveeant. Mr.
Stuyvesant brought over Donald McVicar, a British game-
keeper. McVicar began work in 1887. First of all he im-
ported 500 pheasant eggs. They turned out badly, for only
80 of them natched. Of the chicks 71 were reaiea. Part of
these were turned loose in the coverts and part were penned
up for egg supply.

LaBt year (1SSS) nearly 1,000 birds were reared and turned
loose in the coverts, a few being- kept penned up for egga.
From these 2,000 eggs were obtained last spring, and about
2,000 birds reared during the summer.

No trace of disease has been discovered, but the heat of the
summer seemed to be so oppressive to them that thick Bhades
were erected in the fields where the birds lived.

Meantime the birds turned loose have been breeding and
doing well. The winterB in Jersey are much more severe
than in the native haunts of the birds, but the pheasants
stand the cold, McVicar says, as well as the native partridges
do. But on account of the leDgth of time during which the
snow lies on the ground, a good deal of attention has to be
given to feeding the birds, by scattering food by hand. Not
a single bird was lost in the blizzard of 1883, although the
birds in the peDs were covered ont of sight with snow. It is
likely that the fact that they were bo covered saved them. It
is well known to woodsmen that partridges bury themselves
in the snow when a storm comts on. Of course native as
well as imported birds were fed in the winter.

The reariDg ground was encased by a wire netting to keep
away predatory animals. Among the animals to be kept
down are foxes, skunks, raccoons, mink, weasels and hawks.
The mountains about Tranquillity Farm are covered with
woods that abound in the objectionable animals. Trapping
and poisoning are resorted to to destroy the beasts, while a
kennel of fox terriers makes the killing of foxes a Bport. On
account of the surroundings the keeper and his assistants
have had to wage a constant war on vermin. He says, how-
ever, taat he does Dot think much harm is now done by the
predatory beasts."

As the rearing of game was a new thing, McVicar had to
begin at the bottom, which he did by creating coverts fur the
birds. The natives about Tranquillity Farm were at first,
somewhat jealous of Mr. Sluyvesaut'a scheme for preserv-
ing gauie. They could not, of course, go shootir .
Stuyvesant'a woods. But they found eventually

An Omission.

The Pacific Coast Trotting Association.

At last the call has been made for delegates to assem-
ble to form a trotting association, separate and distinct
from the two now in existance. The trotting horse in-
terests of the Pacific Coast have grown bo large within
the past few years that the slow methods of the older as-
sociations do not seem to agree with the young breed-
ers residing in the great extent of country lying to the
west of the Rocky Mountaius. It is only a few weeks
ago, that a circular letter was sent to representatives of
each society in Oregon, Nevada, Montana and Califor-
nia, and with only two exceptions, all the answers were
in favor of a new association. That a new association
seems desirable can only be attributed to the fact that
there is altogether too mush red tape, iu everything that
appertains to the Eastern organizations, and business
that should ordinarily take two or three weeks at the
most, now takes almost as many years.

The "American" and the "National" have brought
this on themselves and the blame lies at their doors.
There is no doubt but that one great parent organization
would be better than so many subdivisions, but as we
cannot receive the attention which we think we deserve,
it will probably be better to start a Western organiza-
tion and try what we can do for ourselves. The call is
made by Mr. "Wilfred Page, and under the auspicies of
the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association,
which is guarantee enough that what ever is done, will
be with an eye single to the Pacific Coast iuterests. It
is to be hoped that every trotting, driving and track
society, will send a representative or at lea3t appoint
Borne one to act for them.

Occasionally an oversight causes such a blunder that
apology is necessary. In the issue of last week there
was unintentionally left out of the get of Mambrino
"Wilkes. Clara P., who on the 11th of last month "gain-
ed unto herself a name" by winning three straight heats
from Mr. Tbornquist's Gerster the seconl heat being
trotted in 2:29^. This makes four of the get of Mam-
brino Wilkes iu the list, Gas Wilkes 2:22, Alphens 2:27,
Balkan 2:29£ and Clara P. 2;29£.

Margaret S.

The trim and speedy daughter of Director and May
Day will be shipped from Stockton some time
next week, her destination being Cleveland, where
she goes to take part in the New York Spirit's
Futurity Stake. She will be accompanied by M. Salis-
bury, Esq., and Andy McDowell, owner and driver.
The game mare goes to battle with the best wishes of
every California horseman behind her, and we hope to
be able to congratulate her gentlemanly owner, on win-
ning the first money in the race that he journeys so far
to conteBt in. Such pluck is deserving of the highest
praise, and if successful, owner, driver and filly will
receive many a hearty cheer on their return. And now
a word to the "Eastern gentlemen who have horses in the
race. When the conclusion has been arrived at, and the
other eight are shaking hands with the fortunate one, he
may rest assured that he has an animal that can put
three heats inside of 2:20, that is if the Californian
representative is beaten.

Margaret S. is as honest as the day is long; has
plenty of speed, and her gameness cannot be questioned.
So here is good luck to all concerned irj the trip.

The Breeder and Sportsman's Futurity Stake-

The compositor causes many annoyances in a publish-
ing office, but when the proof reader is also at fault the
combination plant the seed that is liable to result in
"curses loud and deep." The advertisement in last
week's issue of the Futurity Stake offered by the pro-
prietor ot this paper, for the produce of mares covered in
1889, had two lines left out, which, now that it is cor-
rected, reads somewhat different. The great hurry and
bustle incidental to the getting out of such a paper as
the Breeder and Sportsman was last week, must be
our apology for the oversight. As will be seen by read-
ing the notice, the proprietor of the only paper on the
Pacific Coast, devoted to horse interests opens up a Fu-
turity Stake and guarantees that there will be $3,000 to
divide among the winners. The nominations must be
made by January 1, 1890, at which time the first pay-
ment of $10, is due. The nominator must name the
mare and by what stallion served* The second payment
is due on Aug. 1, 1890, by which time it is fair to pre-
sume that all mares will have given births to their foals.

Pace to be mile heats three in five in harness; to be
trotted on a track in California offering the largest
amount of added money, and will take place during
the fall of 1893. Race to^be governed by the
rules of the association, of which the selected track is a
member. Nominators not making all payments forfeit
former ones, and the entire amount of forfeits and pay-
ments, together with added money, will be divided as
follows: 65 per cent, to first horse, 20 per cent, to sec-
ond horse, 15 per cent, to third horse.

The Breeder And Sportsman guarantees $3,000 to
be divided as above stated.

If the payments, etc., amount to more than $3,000,
the additional amount, after deducting cost of advertis-
ing, will also be divided in the same proportion to the
winning horses.

Nominators whose mares prove not to be in foal will
be refunded the amounts paid upon furnishing a written
statement to that effect before August 1, 1890.

In nominating, give name of mare and stallion to
whom she is bred, and within sixty days after foaling
forward description of foal.

The great advantages to be derived from having foals
entered in this stake must be self-evident to all, as at all
periods up to the time of the last payment the value of
the youngster iB very materially enhanced, and from a
financial standpoint it is a good investment. The inten-
tion is to have this the most popular three-year-old
stake in California, and it will be repeated each year.

There are many who fancy that tha large breeding
farms might make so many entries that there will be no
chance for the smaller class of breeders, but this is a
great mistake, for the golden prize is nearly as liable to
fall to the party making one entry as to he who makes
a dozen. Talk this matter up among your neighbors,
and Bee that the Breeder and Sportsman guaranteed
$3,000 Futurity Stake has a large entry list.

A Letter From a Blackguard.

We have received the following letter, which it is

deemed best to publish so that the writer may see how it

looks in print:

Table Bldte, Cat., Sept. 10, '89.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman : — I see by your paper of
Sept. 7th, that you rake sides with the judges in the Susie
S and Stoneman race. I say that when you connect the
owners of Stoneman with any fraud in that race, you are a
damned liar. You say that if Cook had wanted the first heat
he could have taken it easy. How do you know that Stone*
man's rider was instructed to win if possible? If the judges
saw anything wrong with Cook, why didn't tbey put up an-
other rider? If Cook did wrong in the race, why did they
allow him to ride in the next race?

1 stood at the judges' stand and saw that race and had as
good an opportunity to judge it as any one on the track. I
think the judges of that race, through ignorance or fraud,
did the owners of Stoneman a great wrong.

Ton say, "in the second heat the decision was greeted
with a shout, and one small crowd went off and kicked it-
self."

I say again yoT are a damned liir. The owners of Stone-
man went into the Btaod wkn Mr. Culver. T. J. Knight.

The beautiful specimen of humanity who wrote the
above, at one time owned Stonemaa, and to show what
sort of a man he is, we take the following from the
Eurkea Times, published the day following the opening
of the spring races at Eureka, Humboldt CouDty:

"The next was a running race, half mite and repeat, for a
$150 purse, for horses owned in Humboldt or Del Norte
counties prior to April 1, 1889. The entries were little Cap,
Jo Hooker and Stoneman, assigned positions as given above.
In the pools Little Cap sold choice for $10, Stoneman second
for $6, and Jo Hooker brought $6. They were flagged off
the first time they came up to the half mile post well together.
Stoneman soon took the lead, closely followed by Little Cap,
with Joe Hooker close after Hooker commenced to gain
before the quarter pole was reached, and came down the
homestretch at a grand pace, making a dead heat with Stone-
man in 0:52.1. The time was remarkably fast, and as iB
always the case in close races, there was considerable discon-
tent expressed at the decision of the judges. T. J. Knight
being dissatisfied with the decision of tne judgeg, sent Stone-
man to the stables, when the judges called him up into the
stand and notified him that they would rule him off the traek
unless he brought bis horse back. The language he used to
the judges and before ladies present was anything bat gentle-
manly, and resulted in the judgesannouncing from the stand
that T. J. Knight was forever barred from the track of the
Eureka Jockey Club. This decision elicited another profane
epithet from Knight, when the judges ordered the officers to
remove him from the grounds, which was done. The pools
for the race were declared off."

Answers to Correspondents.

There is probably no work connected with a horse pa-
per that gives so much self-satisfaction to the worker
in this particular line of sport as answering the ques-
tions sent in by subscribers, especially when there is
some little point elucidated that has hitherto been a se-
cret from the world at large, and the acquirement of
which has not required too much trouble. We are al-
ways pleased to answer any questions that can by any
possible means be ferrated out, but at times we strike a
snag that tends greatly toward dampening our ardor
and makes us express a wish to be in some other busi-
ness. Bat on the other hand, think of the gratification
derived when a long-hidden pedigree is finally put forth
to the world and every point fully established. There is
as much pleasure in the publication as there was to the
ten-year-old boy when he for the first time accomplished
the feat of putting all the pigs in clover.

This train of thought is brought about by the fact
that several letters have been received in the Breeder
and Sportsman office this week which are rather dis-
heartening to the "enquirer after truth," as Mr. Wal-
lace puts it. Several months ago the idea occurred to
one of the staff of this paper that as Mr. Brewster, the
Secretary of the Washington Park Club, Chicago, was
in California with the party that brought out Dolly Me-
Mahon, there was a slight possibility that he might
know the parentage of the dam of Lillie Stanley. After
a long and tedious wait an answer has been received,
not from Mr. Brewster, but from the gentlemen to whom
he had passed the question, and the following is the
rather ambiguous reply:

:'I have answered every Bporting paper in the United
States and done everything can be done.

A. L. Gagb."

We are very pleased to think that the gentleman has
answered every sporting paper in the United States, but
what was his answer'r1 We fail to perceive any reply to
the query in the above.

At the same tiu*e that Dolly.. McMahon was sold there
was auctioned off by the same parties a mare called Lot-
tie, which is now the property of Mr. Truman of this
city. In the advertisements and catalogues of the sale
the breeder's name was given as Capt. Tufft, of Leavens-
worth, Kansas. There have been hundreds of letters in
the past ten years sent to "Capt. Tufft," but all have
failed to reach the aforesaid Captain, until some months
ago, by accident, it turned out that the name had been
spelled wrong, and that the communications should have
been sent to Capt. Tough, now of Kansas City. A note
was immediately addressed to that gentleman, but al-
thougn many weaks have elapsed, no reply has been re-
ceived. This is part of the unsatisfactory work, and is

1889

almost on a par with the pedigree of "Gracie," in refer-
ence to which letters have been sent to eight different
states and three territories, bat the long looked for in-
formation seems just as far off as ever. This mare waa
trotted by J. Eoff and Tim Kennedy through California
from 1875 to 1878, and got a record of 2:37|. There is a
"said to be" pedigree, but the sharpest kind of work
has so far failed to elicit the information required.

There are received in the office of all sporting papers
the most absurd questions, which are really so ludi-
crous that they furnish the humor in this partic-
ular liDe of work; the following is a fair sample: "Please
let me fcnow the pedigree of a bay mare that was brought
to this State some years ago from Kentucky." Do-s it
seem possible that anyone could pen the above, except
in a spirit of fun, aDd yet the party who wrote it, called
in all seriousness to know why the question had Dot
been answered.

Another trouble we are called upon to face is "alleged
pedigrees." A gentleman purchased two mares some
time ago in one of the northern counties, being told they

were by a very fast trotter, with a record low in the

twenties. When he wanted to breed them this season,
the party owning the stallion, to which they were sent,
rather doubted the authenticity of the genealogy given
and wrote to this office in reference to the matter. In-
quiry was made and it revealed the fact that the re-
puted sire had been castrated when only nine months
old, and yet the owner of the mares is loth to believe
that he has no established pedigree for his animals.
Every trouble is taken to answer every question sent in
but sometimes the parties to whom letters are sent, put
them to one side or think it too much trouble to answer.
"Whenever information is desired our subscribers may
rest assured that we will leave no stone unturned toward
getting the desired knowledge if it can be secured, but
we particularly request all persons sending in queries to
give us all the information they may have about the
question asked as many times we receive a clue in that
way, that we might hunt months for.

Catalogues.

"We have received by mail the mammouth catalogue of
Ashland Park Stock Farm, Lexington, Ky. Heading the
list of the stallions we find Bermuda 2:204, one of the gam-
est stallions that ever graced a Kentucky farm. There is al-
so Fayette Wilkes {trial 2:231-), Macey's Hambletonian {sire of
Bosque Bonita three-year-old 2:26£), and Woodford Abdallah
{trial 2:29.) The balance of the 283 pages are taken up with
brood mares and foals of various ages. The book is well
worthy of a corner in any breeders library, and contains
much valuable information. In his announcement, Mr.
Treacy says: "Prejudice is a poor commodity to go to mar-
ket wild, and hence is not cultivated at AshUnd Park, bat
merit weighs as maoy ounces to the pound at this breeding
farm as at any place in America. Its standard for the
measurement of that excellence requisite in the choice of its
brood mares and the sires to which they shall be bred, is merit
— in the individual as well as in the family. If any sentiment
haB been permitted to infloence the management it is liber-
ality. Thus, nearly every known trotting family has been
tested in Ashland Park Stud, and measured by the scale of
performance."

W. C. France, the propritor of Highland Farm, Lexington,
Ky., has also forwarded bis mid-summer catalogue, the
place of honor in this case, being occupied by lied Wilkes
1749, sire of twenty three in the 2:30 list; Then follows
Wilton 5982, {record 2:19|). Allandorf 7462; SeDtinal Wilkes
2499; Dark Night 2853, and Pilot Mambrino 632. We then
find seventy eight selected brood mares and any quantity of
weanlings and yearlings. There are so many good ones that
to do justice to them would require more space than we can
spare. Send for one of the catalogues.

The Uinta Stock Farm is situated at Evanston, Wyoming
Territory, and is the property of A. C. Beckwith, Esq , who
Bends ns an excendingly well executed catalogue, contain-
ing the names and pedigreeB of thirteen stallions, sixteen
brood mares, six bllies and four geldings. The principal stal_
lion is Ned Wilke3 4775, by Baron Wilkes, record 2,18, dam
Steinette by Stein way 2:25|. Mr. Beckwith says of him:

The blood lines alone of Ned Wilkes are enough to attract
the attention of the most critical student of the trotting pedi-
gree. His two crosses of Hambletonian through those two
great speed-giving Hires, George Wilkes and Strathmore; his
three crosses of Mambrino Chief, two of them from Mam.
brino Patchen and Sally Chorister; his one cross of each,
Edwin Forrest. Old Pilot, Black Hawk and Albion, to say
nothing of his thoroughbred Btrains, (which come from the
most illustrious descendants of the great fountain heads of
speed, Imp. Messenger aud Imp. Diomed), give him an inheri-
tance of blood ou which an enthusiast could write or talk by
the hour.

We also 6nd in the catalogue the grey geldiDg Faust, who
beat all comers on the Montana Circuit getting a record of
2:18J. He is by Florida 482, dam Blaire by Bayard 53.

The Dawn-Lillie Stanley Race.

We have received the following letters, they require no
comment:

Petaluma, Cal., Sept. 18, '89.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman :— Enclosed you will please
find an cpen letter to Mr. Page, that I wish you wooll pub-
lish. My conviction now is that Mr. Page is the one that is
mainly responsible for the talk with reference to the JJawn-
Lillie Stanley race, and as I demanded an investigation, as
suggested by you, from our Board, and they replied that
there was nothing to investigate, the only course I now see
left is to ask Mr. Page to make good his assertions.

Hoping that you will help me to carry out the idea as sug-
gested by yourselves, I remaiu

Yours truly, Arthor L. Whitney/.

Petaluma, Cal , Sept. 18, '89

Wilfred Page, Esq., Penn's Grove:—

Dear Sir: Yuu have made the unequivocal assertion that
Lillie Stanley was "pulled" in her race at Petaluma with
Dawn. This is a very serious accusation, and one that no
honest man would make, withoat proof positive that such
was the case. I therefore demand, on behalf of the drivers,
whom I believe to be innocent of any such action, and on
behalf of my horse and myself, upon whom your remarks
reflect, that you produce such evidence in as public a manner
as I make this demand. Yours truly,

Arthur L. Whitney.

The phenomenal time of 1:10 made by Gregory, over the
short straight at Coney Island on laBt Tuesday week was
questi ned by many on the grounds, but there can be no
doubt of its accuracy, as it was timed by dozens of outside
watches. The fact that the horses should have run it faster
over the muddy track then they have over a dry one explain-
ed by the fact that a terrific northeasterly gale was blowing ou
their backs all the way and literally lifted them along.

Our State Fair Edition,
Last week we presented to our readers the best paper that
waB ever iBBned from this office, in fact the best ever issued
on the PacificCoast. Hundreds of letters have been received,
congratulating the management on the magnificent edition,
and the press has likewise been profuse in its praise. The
following area few of the notices received:

The Breeder and Sportsman is cue with an exceeedingly
handsome Fair number foil of splendidly drawn pictures of
celebrated horse-", together with full information oi the pedi-
gree and histoiy of each. Interesting details of past and
forthcoming race meetings an J fairs are also given, and tbe
wno.e is enclosed in a colored cover presenting lithographs,
one in froDt, the other on the back, of two celebrated racers.
The pictures are admirable delineations. The production is
certainly a credit to its proprietor, James P. Kerr.— S. F
Call.

A splendid piece of newspaper work, valuable as well for
its reading, is the current number of the Breeder and
Sportsman. Its lithographed cover is handsome, and it con-
tains in addition striking pictures of the celebrated horses
of the State. — Vallejo Chronicle.

The Breeder and Sportsman has issued a very handsome
State Fair edition. It is chock full of good things, and
(specially of horse lore. There are nine full page pictures of
the leading hordes of the Pacific Coast, which are a marvel of
engraving and printing. This Bpecial edition is a credit to
tbe turf of the coast, and should have a very large circulation.
-S. F. Post.

The Breeder and Sportsman of last week was a handsome
number, the covers containing splendid lithograph portraits
of Imp Greenback and St. Savior that should delight every
lover of horse flesh. As a represeutative of the stock raiBiug
interests and of the sportBmen of this coast, this journal
stands at the head of iis class, aud no one can keep well
posted in these matters without regularly consulting lis
pages.— [Contra CusU Gazette ]

Belle City Cutters.

The old-time of feeding was to lork a lot of fodder into
a cattle yard leaving the stock to pick up what waa not foul-
ed by trampling on it. The method was waBlefoll and cost-
ly, but served in the absence of really good, effective, and
lasting cutters. Messrs. Biker & Hamilton established so
long in San Francisco and Sacramento as to make a history
of the firm, an epitome of the agricultural history of the
State, are now presenting what they style the Belle City, hay,
feed and ensilage cutters. The affixing of the firm name is a
sufficient guarantee of excellence of wo;kmanBhip. The cutter
in principle is infinitely better than any hitherto offered. It
does a third more work with a third leBS power. It has a
safety attachment which makes all danger to the operator
impossible. They are strong, durable and of great capacity,
the frameB being of the best wood, firmly bolted together
with long rods running through the frame, the irons are all
well finished, boxes for ihe shaftings are babbited, and tbe
machine runs as smoothly as a lathe. Its crowning merit is
its cheapness. Headers should write the firm for its speo-
ial catalogue.

PIM?r StuyveBant iB now fencina a stretch of mountain land
for a deer park, wherein he will try to rear Oervua Vtrgm-
lanus, and perhaps other sort* as well. The feasibility of
this, has already been demonstrated near Chicago where a
wealthy gentleman, Judge Caton, has an immense deer park,
with specimens of nearly every sort of American wild ru-
minants.

The opening of the qneil season has been more than usu-
ally warm. Streams have run dry, water is scarce in the
hills and dog and master find shade preferable to hard
tramping after birds that are not fully grown Quails are
very plenty everywhere, but tney should be let alone at least
nut'il October 1st if not October 15th.

ROD.

The post week was rather an unprofitable one for the an-
glers, only a few good catches of rock-cod being reported.

At Military Point, Angel Island, on Sunday, some of the
rock-cod that were hooked weighed over four pounds. At
the same point on Tuesday a San Francisco gentleman
caught five fish that weighed on an average three pounds.
He also captured two cod fish.

••Pop" Ouapin was high hook at Point Tiboron on Sunday
last His catch being as follows: Eighty-seven rock cod; five
perch; 0De blue cod and one skate. Toial weight fifty-three
pounds. „ . ,, . .

The tides have been running unusually strong in the neigh-
bourhood of Lime Point for some weeks past and small
boats fsund much difficulty in holding anchor.

Anglers are consUntly complaning about the early h ur,
5:30 P. 51., at which the last boat leaves Tiburon for San
Francisco.

We think the N. P. R. K. Oo. could easily change the time
for the departure of the last boat, or else make an extra trip
on Sunday evenings, which would give the fishermen a
chance to fish late in the afternoon.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arpbippus.

The amateur boxing tournament under the auspices of the
California Amateur Athletic Club was a decided success.
The exhibition given at the Occidental Club rooms on Mon-
day evening attracted a large crowd. The amateur athletes
are slowly getting themselves into condition for coming
events.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

MeGee, of the University A. C, expects to do a fine per-
formance in the .'quarter" at the O, A. C. games.

Moffett, of the U. A. C, has not Btarted in to train yet.
hut when the time comes he will give a good account of
himself.

T. Powers, the amatear sprinter, took his departure for
Oregon, some time ago.

The athletes are anxiously awaiting some definite news in
regard to the in-door tournament proposed to be held under
the auspices of the F. C. A. A. A.

It is time the 0. A. C. was issuing its programme of games
for November 28th.

The Thanksgiving Day athletic meeting of the Olympic
Club will be held just two mouths from next Thursday, and
the athletes should bear ttaid fact in mind. Two months is
little enough time in which to train properly before essaying
to make good records.'*

Henry G. Klink walked one mile heel and toe in PenBacola,
Florida, on Aug. 14th, in 6 minutes and 20 seconds, but the
record will not be accepted until duly authenticated. George
Perkins, an Englishman, walked a mile heel and toe in G min-
utes, 23 seconds, which is the world's record.

THE WHEELMEN.

A Chicago wheelman is preparing for a gigantic tr'p on his
wheel. He intends to outdo Stevens, and visit every known
country. Starting from Chicago on January 1, 1889, he will
go first to Mexico, and expects to take water at San Francis-
co about October. While away he will write for several mag-
azines and papers.

Some of the local wheelmen train in the Park early in the
morning. The coming tournaments will no doubt revive af-
fairs in the cycling world.

It is expected that a ladies' wheel club will soon be organ-
ized in Ran Francisco. There are quite a number of lady
riders here, and if a club was organized it would tend to
bring them together.

AT THE OARS.

The bay was in good condition for rowing on Sunday.
The weather, perhaps, was a trifle too warm for this kind of
exercise, but still the boys were out in full force, and a good
many pounds of superfluons flesh were dropped during the
day.

There will be considerable betting on the result of the pro-
fessional championship race. A good many of the sporting
men claim tnat the South End Crew will win.

Edward Haulan recently presented Frank Smith, the well-
known athleeio club swinger and member of the Toronto
Fire Department, with an elegant pin, which he brought
specially from Australia. Smith trained Hanlan in several
races.

The first Fall championship regatta of the New England
Rowing Association was held on Charles River, Boston,
MaBs., Sept. 2nd. The water was calm, and the day just cool
enough to be pleasant. The management was excellent. Ap-
pended are the results:

Padding canoes, 1 mile with odo turn— E. B.jRichardRon, Arlington,
B. C, 10m. 39s; W. L. Perry, Crescent. B. C. Boston, 2, by ltm yards; F.
Kelly. O. B. C .3; J. McQueeney, Columbia B. C, Boston, 4; u. L.
Libby, A. B, C, 5. The winner held an easy lead from the start.

Junior single scull shell?, 2 miles with one turn-M. T. Qui-jley,
Atalanta B. C, New York) 14m. 7Js,; T. Higgins, Wacbusett B. C-, Wor-
cester, 2, by 2 lengths; W. Panton. Shawmut B C. Boston, 3; R H.

Sutcliff, C.P. Tt A.,8; D. O'Leary, Riverside B. C, Cambridge, 9.

Quigley had to work to hold the lead, which he secured in the be-
glnnlug, but he waB successful, although Higgins pressed him closely
towards the end. Owing to th^re beiug but eight turning buoys Rand
and Pelton fouled

Intermediate single scull-shells, two miles, with one turn — J- Ber-
gln, S. B. G, 13m. 68a.; E. Haas, W. JB. 0 , 2, by a length; A. A. Frates,
Cumberland, B. G, Portland, Me., 3, by 2 lengths; G J. Kirby, Nar-
ragansett B. C, Providence. R. L., 4, by 6 lengths; M. J. Coleman,
Central, B. C, South Boston, 6. Bergin and Frates fought hard for
first place on the way up to turn, with the advantage to the former
until near the stake, where Frates turned 2rst. On the way home
Bergin overtook him, and later he rowed such an irregular course that
Haas, who was a good third, became second .

Senior slngle-scull shells; 2 miles, with one turn-E, D. Rogers,
Albany (N. Y.) R. 0-, 13m. 65* s.; W. Caffrey. C. B, C, 2, by 2 lengths;

E. J. Mahoney, Bradford B. C„ Cambridge, 3; J. J. Murphy, 6 B. C,
4; E. J. Carney. Inatitute B. C , 5; H. F. Corcoran, C. B. C , C; £. N.
Atherton, Metropolitan, B. C. , New York, 7. For a little way it was
anybody's race, but as the turn was neared Rogers began to show his
bow to the front, and after the stake was rounded he opened out a
couple of lengths of clear water, and at almost a practice spin led the
way to the finish.

Double-scull shells- Rabenswood B.C. .Long Island City, J. Piatt,
Jr. (bow), A. Buschman (stroke), 12m 63s; Metropolitan E. C, J. E.
Nagle (bow). J Pilkington (stroke), 2, by 3 lengths; Wacbusett B. C,

F. Haas (bow), J. O'Malley (stroke), 3. by 6 lengthB. By the time the
bridge was reached the Ravenewood had the race, barring accidents.

Juuior four-oared shells; 2 mil*>a with a turn- King Philip Club,
Fall River, Mass , F. Splaine (bow), T. Philbin, W. Booth, J. F. Murphy
(stroke), 13m 12s; Metropolitan R. C, New York City, D. Bras field
(bow), W Good body, C. Stransky, T. J. McManus (stroke), C. Mase,
substitute. 2. From tbe Btart the vctors showed the way and opened
water, until at tbe finish they were three lengths ahead

Junior four-oared working boats; same course — Riverside B. C,
Cambridge, M. Anglin (bow), Y?. Robinson, E. Hayes, P. Fitzgerald
(stroke), 14m 26s; West End b. C, Boston, J. F. Mullaly (bawl, J. Von
Enden, J. Ronan, J. W. Palmen (stroke), ruled out. It was a bow and
bow race about half way up tbe course, when the West Ends fouled
the Riversides and were disqualified. Tbe Riversides rowed the rest
of the coursealone.

Senior four-oared working boats, same course— Bradford B. C., J.
Skelton (bow), D. A. McPhee. O. W. Dyer, John F. Cumming (stroke),
13m 4b; Central B. C, South Boston, M. J. Coleman (bow), H. F. Cor-
coran, D. J Casey, M. Cosgrove (stroke', 2; West End B. C, Boston, D.
T.King (bow), T. Fitzpatrick, M. J. Quinn. J. F. Fogarty (stroke). 3.
The Centrals ind Bradfords were about abreast until the bridge was
reached, when the Bradfords pulled ahead, and were not thereafter
troubled. The CentnilB and West Ends lost a number of open lengths
in tbe vicinity of the stake, but good sprinting, especially on the part
of the former, closed the distance at the finish to a couple of lengthF.

Senior four-oared shells, same course— Atalanta B. C.New York
City, J. A. JDempsey (bow), W. Lau, M. Lau, G. 0. Dempsey (stroke).
12m BHb; Varuna B. 0 , Brooklyn, W. H. Reid (bow), E. Dunn, W, 0
Johnsou, E. S. McGrath (stroke), 2; King Philip B. C , Fall River. F.'
Splolne (bow), T. Philbin, W. Booth, J. F. Murphy (stroke), 3. Tbe
Atalantas and King Philip went spurt and Bpurt with alternate bows
over tbe first half-mile, but tbe pace proved too hot for the latter
after their junior pull, and the Atalantas then forged ahead, and
thereafter pursued the even tenor of their way.

Eigbt-oarpd shells, ]J miles straightaway— Bradford B. C.,J. R.

CLUE JOTTINGS.

Work on the new grounds of the O. A. C. is progressing
rapidly .

Tbe Directors of the C. A. C. and the Manager of tbe Har-
bor View Park have not as yet been able to agree on the lease
Bubject. ^^J

The regular monthly exhibition and meeting of the Occi-
dental Club was held at the club rooms, corner of Grove and
Laguna streets, on Monday evening last. The usual three*
round exhibition preceded the event of the evening.

The membership of the Luriine Swimming and Boating
Club is rapidly increasing. A swimming instructor will
shortly be eLgaged.

ThememberB of the P. A. C. made a good move in re-
electing C. Giry President of the Club. Mr. Giry iB a genu-
ine lover of out-door sports, and it will not be his fault if the
club does not go ahead.

Now that the boxing tournament is over the Directors of
the C. A. C. may arrange for the holding of an out-door ama-
teur meeting.

Should the P. C. A. A. A. decide to hold an in-door meet-
ing in November, the in-door atbletic meeting of the Pacific
Athletic Club will be postponed until January or February.

A boxing and wrestling tournament under the auspices of
the Golden Gate Amateur Athletic Club will shortly be held.

The Pacific Athletic Club has removed to the Mission Rink
on Missson street, near 20th street, where it has one of the
largest gymcu-iuais in this city. The move is undoubtedly
a favorable one for the club, as it is now comfortably located
for its members.

Amateur Boxers.

The following report of the P. A. C. exhibition came in too
late for our last issue:

The gymnasium of the Pacific Athletio Clnb on Market
street, near Tenth, was packed with members on Thursday
evening last to witness the regular monthly exhibition of
the club.

Previous to the commencement of the entertainment, the
following officers were elected by acclamation: President, C.
Giry; First Vice-President, Benjamin; Second Vice-
President, R. E. Nunan; Secretary, G. F. Kelly; Recording
Secretary, C. C. Johnson; Financial Secretary. T. Baker;
Treasurer, Mr. Troutwell; Master-at-arms, Mr. Shea; Inves-
tigation Committee — Messrs. Dwyer, Brady, Cusack, Hogao,
Abble, Sullivan and McKinnon. The election of officers
consumed a considerable portion of the evening, and it was
half past nine before the first event was announced. 0.
Giry, President of the club was chosen as master of ceremo-
nies. Two members of the club, Messrs. Palmer and Mc-
Loughliu, opened the proceedings with a three-round con-
test. There was no disguising the fact that both men were
novices with the gloves. McLoughlin, who was very much
lighter than his opponent, was soon convinced that ordinary
tactics wou'd not help him to get the best of his much heav-
ier antagonist, so he essayed those of La Blanche, the Mari-
ene, and quickly turning clear around, he tried to wipe the
unsuspeeiing Palmer off the face of the earth with a single
blow. The blow, however* was neatly dodged, and Mc-
Loughlin lay sprawling on the floor. The contest ended in
favor of Palmer, who, by the way, if properly handled, may
yet develop into a decent boxer.

The next event proved to be a very funny one. Two
young men, Reynoloson and Reardon, amused the audience
by giving a two-round exhibition of "original" plogging. The
effort was successful, and the audience jelled themselves
hoarse at the amusing antics of both men. Professor In-
grams of the P. A. C, and Professor La Rue of Paris, next
followed in a fencing exhibition. Ffteen points was to de-
cide the contest. Both gentlemen are very skillful fencers,
and the contest was very exciting. Prufessor Ingrams won
with a score of 15 to 13.

After the fencers bad left the ring Messrs. Wood and Sulli-
van appeared, and Master of Ceremonies Giry stated that they
would box three rounds. Sullivan, who is a member of the
P. A. C, proved himself to be the better of the two, and in
the last round came very near knocking his man out. Tbe
event of the evening, a ten-round contest between JoeHes-
keth, of the Pacific Athlethio Club, and George Napthally,
ommenced at 10.15. Ed Graney, of the Golden Gate Ath-
letic Club, was chosen referee; Shortly after flesketh en-
tered tbe ring he was presented with a very handsome bou-
quet. The yoang man who presented it remarked that it
waB from a "lady admirer." The contest was a one-sided
affair. Napthally appeared to be scared out of his wits even
before the gong called time. The first round was decidedly a
hot one, both men striking each otherrepeatedly with terrific
force. Veritably, it waB a slogging match from the word go.
The round ended with Napthally very groggy.* He was still
very weak when the gong called time for the second round,
and Hesketh seemed to be fully aware of the fact. He aban-
done 1 science, and relied solely on his strength. He was
successful. Before the round was half over Napthally re-
ceived some punishing smashes that caused him to do as
Killen had done the night before, "throw up the sponge."
He was a badly defeated man. The fight was a bloody one
from stait to finish, and the large audience slowly filed out of
the club rooms, highly satisfied with the evening's fun. The
winner of the contest will receive a handsome diamond medal
emblematic of the clnb amateur championship.

our old groDnd is not well stocked we can easily find another.
The qnestion, however, of accommodation is what is puz-
zling me now. The Hotel people claimed a few weeks ago
that they would have the Arlington completed by the end of
the ^ear If they do, we will be all right. If they do not,
we will be all wrong, and will be compelled to make a camp.
The camp scheme can be easily handled so far as location
and house is concerned, only the question o beds ADd bed-
ding is difficult to settle. Perhaps Nick Wh le would be a
good person to consult on that question. When I go to
town agaiD I will interview the hotel men, and ascertain, if
possible, when the building will be completed, and we (the
boys) will talk the matter over and arrive at some satisfactory
conclusion, which I will communicate to you. "You can't
stop us." It is nDfortutate that the town was burned in
mure ways than one, bnt I anticipate an excellent time this
year: I was unfortunate in losing two dogs which I should
like to have entered. But I am reconciled to the fates.
Bakeesfield, Sept. 17, 1889. D. F. Pyle.

The death of Mr. S. E. Fisher's foxhound Don, noted else-
where, occurred under peculiarly exasperating circumstance.
Mr. Fisher had wounded a big buck near Novato, and the
dog fastened to the deer. The buck trampled him badly,
and then impaled the poor beast on his horns.

The Parson's Cob.

"There — dear-a-me — there! Whoa! Hold up! Now that
makes five times since we left the rectory. Really, John, I
think I shall have to part with Billy, or we shall behaving
an accident one of these days. I know we shall. The old
cob must be getting worn out, for I have had him — now let
me think — yes — whoa! — there he goes again, dear a-me —
seven years at least," said the Beverend James Lughes, ad-
dressing his groom and general factotum, who waB seated
beside him in the low t asket cart.

"Beg pardon, sir, Billy only wants wakening up; he's only
a bit iale. He's as sound and fresh on his legs as the day
you bought him," replied the groom, a smile lurking in the
corner ot his mouth, which developed into an unmistakable
grin as the cob again tripped and Btumbled, this time jerking
about four inches of rein through the reverend's hand.

, 'Dear-a-me — dear-a-me. He will be down, I know he will.
Come, Billy, come; you are too bad," said the driver, whose
temper must have been slightly ru tiled by the repeated stum-
bling, for he withdrew a light holly stick from its socket,
swished it through the air as though he was trying to kill
flies,^and eventually got the lash tangled round the rein tar-
rets.

The cob seemed quite used to this proceeding, and pul'ed
up almost of his own accord to allow the groom to get out
and release the lash.

"Beg pardon, sir," said the man, as he stepped back into
the cart, "try bitting 'im underneath or across the fore-
bows."

*'No, John, no," replied his master, with a look of horror.
"I have heard on good authority that punishment applied in
tlie latter locality is conducive to kicking, and the latter I
could not reach without bending forward and relaxing my
hold on his mouth; the back is the proper place for chasti —
Oh, dear a-me; he was almost down then— those horrid loose
BtoDes. Whoa, Billy: hold up. Beally, I cannot bear this.
My mind is made up, and unless he improves between now
and August fair I shall really have to part with him. There,
Billy, steady now. Walk, Billy, walk.

It was the luesday in August fair week. The basket trap
was waiting to convey the parson, on horse-dealing intent, to
the busy scene of cracking whips, clattering hoofs and shoot-
ing ridf-rd. Billy, ungratefully Billy, stood sleepily between
the shafts, his beefy sides swelling with fat, and from his
half-cluBed lazy eyes hung two tears. Were they from re-
morse or fly bites? I almost fear the latter, for on the jour-
ney to Horocastle Billy made no attempt to retrieve his lost
character, but, if possible, tripped and stumbled worse than
ever. When they entered the town they found the streets
almost impassable, a mass of men and horses. The unae-
cas'omed sights and sounds showed Billy to be possessed of
more mettle than he had been given credit for; once he ran
the near wheel bang into a stall of rugs and halters that pro-
jected into the roadway, twice he cannoned against passing
horses, and many times he and his driver were the recipi-
ents of anything but complimentary or parliamentary lan-
guage as they progressed in spasmodic jumps and starts
through the crowded streets. At last the Bull Hotel was
reached, and excited Billy was unharnessed and led forth by
unwilling John to be sold, his hard-hearted and determined
master following in the rear. Hardly had they passed the
archway when a seedy-looking tout caught John by the
Bleeve aed asked in beery tones, "How much?"

"There's the measter." John replied, halting and indicat-
ing a gentleman in black who was close behind.

To him the tout then applied, repeating bis query with the
respectful addition, "sir."

"You wish to buy my cob Bill?" answered the parson, hur-
riedly stepping aside, just in lime to escape being knocked
down by a huge dray-horse that was thundering past. "Well,
really I hardly know what his market value should be.
Would you be williog to give me twenty-five pounds?"

"Mebee. That depends," said tbe man, with a knowing
grin. "Bring him down this lane, and I'll get my partner to
have a look at him," he added, poiuting to a by-street near
band, and giving a horsey-looking man who was standing
near a meaning wink. The cob accordingly was led into the
lane, and after a few hurried words with the recipient of his
wink the tout and his confrere followed.

"Whoa. Let him stand there," said the new-comer, who
in less time than it takes me to write these words had exam-
ined Billy's teeth, felt his legs, tried him for a roarer, and
passed bis whip down his hind legs to see if he was quiet.
"Bun on a few yards, young man," he said, familiarly ad-
dressing obese John. "Loose his head, young man. Tclk!
elk!" he said, bringing his shaip whip beneath astonished
Billy's body. "Why, he's lame," he exclaimed, turning to
the paison, who had been a silent and mystified spectator of
tue dealer's action. "Lame as a cat. Swings his near fore
leg," he continued, poiuting lo the cob.

"Lame?" Dear-a-me. You don't say so? Beally!" ex-
claimed the astonished owner, vainly trying to remember
what part of the horse is named the near fore leg, and so dis-
cover the fault complained of.

"Lame as a tree. Just look," said the dealer, as Billy and
his perspiring attendant approached.

"Lame? Beallj! John, do you know how — " began the
perplexed parsou, making a movement towards his servant;
but before he could reach him, or finished the sentence, the
dealer had caught him by the sleeve and led him away for a

Jfew paces.
■'Now, look here, guvnor, lame or not lame, I'll take him
with all hie faults and failings, and give you ten sovereigns
for him. It's what he's worth; but I've gota commission to

buy a quiet old nag for an invalid'3 bath chair, and this
s- ems just the thing. He'll never have to go out of a walk.
Say I'm lo have him. It's a big piice — come, knock him
down," he said coaxiogly, holding out a rather dirty palm.

For a few moments the parBon heBitated. "But what a
capital home for Billy," he thought; "and really, ten pounds
must be a good price for him if he swings the near fore leg.
Perhaps I had better take the offer. Yes, I will," and aloud
he said to the expectant dealer: "Yes; upon consideration,
and taking into account the prospect of the kind treatment
yon promise for my aged cob, I have decided you may have
him and I trust his new owner will use him as well as I have
done."

Almost before he had finished Bpeaking the dealer had
a greasy purse from his pocket and had counted out ten
pounds, which he handed to the seller with a cool demand
for "ten bob back for luck."

He was turning to go, when the man stopped him.-
"Beg pardon, sir. Did you say you wanted to buy a hoss?
Now, I've got the very thing to suit you, just about the size
of your old nag, but as Btylish and showy as they make 'em.
Quiet as a sheep. Five years old, and can pass a vet. Should
you like to have a look at him?"

"Certainly. Beally! Dear-a-me, how fortunate. Where
can I see the animal you describe?"' said the parson, highly
delighted at the prospect of thus easily solving the purchas-
ing difficulty.

"I'll have him at the Greyhound stables in half an hour,
sir. Do you know where that is? Just on the Spilsby road,
sir. Don't be late, sir, as there's a man coming to look tit
him a^ is very keen — wants hiin for a bishop. He'e just jour
hoss. sir. You'll have a look at him, then?"

"I shall be delighted," answered the parson with a smile,
"and am much obliged to you for offering me first chance of
the animal. I will go and find my frieud, Mr. Helsou, who is
a good judge of a horse, and asked h m to inspect the cob
with me. Good day, good day. I will be there in half an
hour-"

Punctually, after an interval of thirty minutes, the Rev.
James Lughes entered the Grayhonnd stable-yard; but, alas!
he was unaccompanied by his horsey friend Helson, and
considerably vexed because he had been unable to find him.
"However," he argued with himself as with some trepidation
he walked up the straw-covered yard, "I have kept horses all
my life, and really I think I know enough about them to be
able to purchase a suitable animal."

The cGb was trotted into the street, and gave the groom no
little difficulty in holding bim and keeping pace with his
movements as he rattled along the stones. He seemed full
of mettle, stepping gaily, arching his closely -cropped neck
and carrying his short tail erect like a hand-brush.

"Yes, he trots very nicely, but he seems very excitable; I
almost think I require a more sober animal. You say he is
quiet?" said the parson with some misgivings, as the cob
drew up in front of him, Bnorting and straining on the bits.
"Quiet, sir? I should bay he was quiet, ft by, the party
who put him into my hands to sell used to let her little fiver-
year-old girl go out riding on him alone. Quiet? Why, if
you could have seen him, as I have many a time, standing in
the street with no one near bim, waiting for his missus while
she was sbopping, you wouldn't ask that question. Qaiel?
Why, you might take a nap between his hind legs," replied
the dealer, passing his hand over the cob's quarters and tug-
ging his tail to convince the questioner the truth of his state-
ments. "Well, sir," he continued, "there he is. Will you
buy him ? I'm not asking a big figure fur such a stamp. He
ought to make fifty; but, there, you let me have your old
crock at my price, and so if you like to take him for forty
he's yours. Will you have him?"

"Forty pounds! Dear-a-me, I wish my friend could see
him," said the parson, who now, when it came to the point,
bad some misgivings as to his own capabilities of proper
judgment. "If you could wait five minutes I will step up to
the Bull Hotel and see if Mr. Helsou has yet arrived. Do
you mind waiting?"

"Can't do it, sir. Expact the bishop's buyer here directly.
Come, sir, he's certain to suit you. You can't find a belter
in the fair. It don't want two to buy one like him. Come,
Bir, make me a bid any way, though I don't think I shall bait
much of forty," replied the dealer, who did not seem to
relish the idea of Mr. Helson 's intervention at all.

"Forty pounds. Dear-a-me. I did not intend to spend
more than thirty, and I suppose you could not entertain that
offer?" asked the parson, with considerable surprise at his
own audacity for making such a bid for the handsome cob.

"No, sir. Muoh obliged all the 6ame. I can't do it. I'll
tell you what I'll do. I'll give you a quid out of forty, but I
can't go no lower. My instructions were, forty pound, or
bring him back. Look at him, sir, look at him. Why, be'B
dirt cheap. Whoa, then; whoa, my pink," said the dealer,
p'ayfully dropping his whip rcund the cob's hind legs, which
had the effect of making him attempt to climb over the
groom.

"Yes, sir, perhaps he is cheap; but before I decide I will
see if I can find my friend. I will go and Bee," said the par-
son, turning on his heel.

"Come here, air," quickly exclaimed the dealer, afraid that
he might lose his chance. "Come here, sir. You won't give
more tbau thirty? Then you shall have bim, though I don't
know what the widdy'll say. Thirty pounds, sold, and you've
got a bargain. Come to the bank, sir. Yes, sir. Where's
the cob to be taken to? The Bull, sir? Yes, Bir. Tom, put
a new halter on him and take him to the Bull for the Bever-

eDd ? Thank yon, sir. The Reverend Mr. Lughes."

"There, John," exclaimed the horse-dealing parson, de-
lighted with his success, to his man, whom he found inspect-
ing the new purchase in the Bull etables, "I have just bought
him. Nice animal, I think; though I fear rather high-
Bpirited. I am sorry they cot his mane and tail bo short, for
I think when in their full beauty they are the chief adorn-
ments of the horse. However, they will Boon grow again.
Put the harness od, John, and we'll get away from this noisy
place."

"Very nice cob, sir. Takes old Billy's harnesB well," said
the groom with a grin, as Le pushed on the collar, which tit-
ted to a nicety.

"Yes, JohD, I remarked upon his similarity to Billy the
moment I saw bim; but the old cob had a lot of hair on his
lees, and a white foot, or fetlock, I believe is the proper
term," replied the parson, airing with some pride his knowl-
edge of horsey terms.

"Yes, sir," said the groom, with a more pronounced grin
as hd fitted on the crupper, which did not require the slight-
est alteration. "About the same length of head," he added,
still grinning, as the bridle and bit slipped on as though the
cob bad been measured for them. "Now that's odd," he
exclaimed, almost bursting his livery as the cob solemnly
lifted up his near fore toot after the harnessing was completed
and when the few straws had been taken out of the hoof he
lifted the other three in succession, "That's jiwt what I
taught old Billy."

"Yes, most singular," concurred his master, with a grow-
ing expression of wonder ou his face, as the new purchase, of
his own accord, turned in his stall and followed John to the
basket trap tbat was standing near. "Seems very tractable,''
he remarked as he got into the trap, **very tractable."

"Yes, sir," said John, handing him the reins and taking
his place beside his mister, grinning more than ever.

The town was cle.red without much difficulty, as the
crowds had thinned considerably since the morning, but so
long as the crackings of whips sounded, the new rob pulled
violently, and made the low wheels hum and rattle till the
parson almost feared he was running away. But when the
country was reached the cob relapsed into a more sober gait,
greatly to the satisfaction of his driver, who remarked, as
though he had rather approved of the quick pace they had
been traveling, but still not daring to take his eyes off the
cob:

"Goes nicely, John?"

"Yes, sir," replied the man; '""rather high-mettled, but
none the worse for that."

"Hello!" exclaimed the parson as the cob got into a walk
of his own accord, when the bottom of a riBe in the road was
reached. "Why, this is just the place where Billy always
wished to walk. Com ! Come! we won't have a repetition of
the old horse. Come! Tclk! tclk!" and the holly whip
swished through the air, and as usual became tangled in the
harness. Oh, horror! the new cob stopped. Good heavens!
it was Billy. And three silver-plated buttons bearing the
reverend's crest and motto were plainly to be seen flying from
red-faced John's bursting livery. — [LoDdon Sporting and
Dramatic News.

The Seat of r'owar iu the Horse.

Some of the ablest writers ou the horse have made careful
study and exposition of the mechanism of the horse, and ac-
corded to this subject the full measure of importance that
it deserves. Yet, so little have puch writings penetrated to
the masses of horsemen, says au exchange, so little have
they crowded out the inclination toward individual reckless
conclusions, that even in places where high authority directs
the methods of dealing with the equine species, where the
collective value of many animah, if nothing else, should
prompt the application of true scientific principle, even there,
in many instances nature's intentions are either disregarded
or faultily construed.

The mechanism of the horse is wonderful, graceful, com-
plicated, yet so practical that most of man's great achieve-
ments in mechanical constructions are eclipsed thereby. It
is a common human weakness, an assertion of the inherent
egotism in man, to judge of such a matter in the light of its
adaptability to human purposes; the correct principle, bow-
ever, would lead us to shape and adapt onr requirements to
the capabilities embodied in nature's groundwork, in this
case specifically, the horse's mechanism. And as all the use
and aid that we derive from the horse implies an expenditure
of power and progressive motion on his part, the problem
first in order, is manifestly to locate the true seat of power
in the horse, and to ascertain the natural ways in which such
power is made available.

All progressive motion in organized beings is produced by
the alternate contraction and extens:on of their propelling
members. Quadrapeds propel themselves by their legs, the
bird by its wings, fish by their tails or tins, reptiles by the
annular piocess; with all of them the propelling member is
in a state of contraction when it comes in contact with the
resisting surface, and through the extension of the member
a forward motion takes place, the body moving in the direc-
tion of the least resistance. The velocity of the motion cor-
responds with the power exerted in the extension of the coo-
tracted propelling member.

In the case of a healthy horse the fore leg always comes to
the ground in an extended suape, all its bones, with the ex-
ception of those at the pattern joint, abutting on one another
hi very nearly a straight line, fn.ni the point of the shoulder
to tbe extremity of the leg, bt that being manifestly incapable
of further extension, it must be concluded, on the principle
laid down, that it is equally incapal le of exerting any pro-
pelling energy, and consequently that the only purpose it
can serve is that of suslaioing tbe weight of the incumbent
fore quarter during the successive advances of the hini legs.
Add to this that the bony structuie of the fore leg is joined
to the rest of the frame by mere muecular attachmenls, cal-
culated not to communicate impulse, but to break concussion,
and we will come to the conclusion that the propelling pow-
er of the horse does not reside in the fore legs.

The hind legs, however, inst-ad of being merely united by
a flexible and elastic muscular attachment with the rest of
tbe fame, are inserted into the extremity of the spinal c ilumn
by connecting-bones of large dimensions and eminently cal-
culated, from their direction, to impart impulse to the whole
figure. The limb is brought to the ground with all ita parts in
a high state of contraction, the shank-bone forming an angle
with the upper leg bone at the hock, the upper leg bone
forming an angle with the tbjgh-bone at the stifle joint, and
the thigh-bone forming another angle with the haunch-bone,
which abuts directly on the lumbar vertebras, end is the im-
mediate agent in conveying the impulsive force of the hind
legs to that center of^the system. Here, then, we have a ser-
ies of no less than three angles, not to speak of the elas-
tic apparatus of the pastern in the successive openings out of
which, by the contraction of the limb at everv 'stride, all tie
mutcular energy of tbe hind quarters is called into play, and
thus, the foot forming tue point of resistance, the body of
tbe animal at every stretch of the hind legs, is shot forwaid
with a velocity proportioned to the amount of muscular ac-
tion exerted iu that process of extension.

The extent of this muscular action is, of course, governed
by the natural confoimation of tbe individual animal. It
being proved that the fore legs are merely pillars to sustain
weight, and to receive and sopport the center of gravity,
which is alternately advancing and receding with the motion
of tbe animal, we must look to the more or less acute angles
at which the levers of the hind quarters are inclined toward
each other for the extent of contraction of which they are
capably. Hence the practiced eye ranges over the entire
semmetry, from the point of the haunch to tbe articulation
pastern, estimating the amount and the character of the
power tbe horse is capably of exercising. Tbe high haunch-
bone and lengthy thigh-bone will characterize the speed of the
racer, the acute angle of the thigh-bone with the npper leg
bone will denote the agile power that confers trotting-action
while the requisites for slow draft will be the reverse cf both,
demanding not so much rapid and successive contraction as
strong muscular efforts to move shorter levers. — National

Sale of Elector.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— We have sold to the
Springfield Stock Farm, Springfield, III., the stallion Elector
with a r-cord oE 2:21^. As is probably well known, Elector
is ty Electioneer, dam the famous Lady Babcock by Whip-
ple's Hambletonian. Lady Babcock never produced but
three foals. The first Elector, 2:21J; second Soudan, three-
year-old record 2:30. capable of touching 2:20, and Lady
Graves by Nutwood, owned bv Senator .Rose of California.
Lady Graves was never worked for speed, bat Senator Rose
informs us tbat she is one of the best, if not the beBt daugh-
ter that Nutwood produced in California. She breeds a high
rate of speed, and we own one of her get that can this year
beat 2:30 with ease.

We purchased Elector, 2:21J, at Kellogg's sale of Governor
Stanford's consignment at the low price of $2200, owing to
the fact that some one either through malice or foolishness
circulated the report that Elector was troubled with spring
halt, and from the farther fact that he had been brought over
in a car with twelve other horses and mares which had kept
him in a state of sexual excitement, and had caased him to
grow very thin in flesh and tucked about the flanks. We
have known Elector for many years before coming East,
and always regarded him as one of the grandest cone
of Electioneer. Fe never took a spring-halt in his
life that we have ever Been, or that has ever been
seen by Mr. Charles Marvin or Mr. Orriu Hickok, who
owned and drove the horse. In style and action he is the
showiest of any of the get of Electioneer we have ever seen.
Very few if any stallions, can outehow him in harness. He
is a grand dispositioned horse, and can be safely handled by
a lady, yet he is fall of spirit. Few if any of the sons
of Electioneer are faster than Elector, and, except for an ac-
cident whioh threw him out of training last season, he would
undoubtedly have had as low a record as any of the family.
While in California he sired a few calts, and they are full of
promise. The oldest are now, we think, three years old, and
either four or five ore reported as capable of entering the 2:30
list this season. In general appctrance we know of no two
sons of Electioneer bearing closer resemblance to each other
than Elector, 2:21}, and Norval, 2:17$.

Given the oppoituuiiy that he will have at the Springfield
Stock Farm on Buch grandly bred mares, we believe that
within the next five years he will rauk among the gre»te3t
speed producing sons of Electioneer.

We received $7,500 for this horse, aud we believe him the
cheapest horse and one of the best that ever went into the
tate of Illinois. We have bred a number of onr choice
res to him, and shall develop their progeny in the full be-

lief that a horse with such grand action and breeding cannot
fail to produce a uniformly high rate of speed. Yoars,

Miller & Sibley.

Donovan Wins the St. Ledger.

since won the Newmarket Stakes of £6,000, the Derby of
£4,050, the Prince of Wales Stakes at Ascot. £2,225, and
with the St. Ledger, worth £5,000, Donevan has won a total
of £45,363. He has yet several engagements that will add
about £10,000 or £12,000 to that amount.

London, Sept. 11th.— The 114th race for the Doncaster St.
Leger was run over the Town Moor to-day, and those who
expected to see a great race, North versus South, between
the Yorkshire trained colt Chitabob and the Newmarket-
trained Donovan were badly disappointed. Chitabob utterly
failed to Bustain the good opinions bad of him on the strength
of his winning the Yorkshire Stakes at York. He started a
good second favorite, but did not get a place, tne mighty
Donovan winning easily by three lengths from Mr. Gretton's
Miguel, who was the same distance id front of Lord Brad-
ford's Davenport. The betting and other starters were: 3 to 2
on Donovun, 4 to 1 against Chitabob. 17 to 1 Enthusiast, 20
to 1 each Davenport and Pinzon, 33 to 1 Miguel, 40 to 1
Workington, 66 to 1 against l'Abbesse de Juaree, 100 to 1
each Gay Hampton and Lord Lome and 200 to 1 each Scot-
tish Fusileer and Cherot. The race was run in 3:13. as
against Seabreeze last year in 3:11 4-5 and Kilwarlin in 1887
in 3:36. The slowest time record is 3:32 bo Robert the Dev-
il, the sire of Chitabob, in 1880. that by Seabreeze last year
being the fastest.

One hundred and fourteenth running of the St. Leger Stakes, for
three-ye r-oldB, at £2i each, the owner of the second t{ have £20 > and
the third £100 out of stakes; closed Sept. 2 >, 183 ', with 204 subs; about

But few winners of the St. Ledger have had a career like
that of Donovan. The above is his nineleenth race, of which
he ba^ won sixteen. He rm in all thirteen times as a two-
year-' Id, beuinuing at the first meeiing of the year, and end-
ing I te in October at Newmarket. He won eleven of the
thirtetn, and his defeatB include Becond to Chitabob for the
Whitsuntide Plate at Manchester, and third for the Prince of
Wales Slakes at Goodwood. This year he was just beaten
for the Two Thousand Guineas. He had previously won
the Prince of "Wales Stakes of £11,000 at Leicester, and has

The New York Spirit o f Times claims to have received pri"
vate informations, that Sunol will b^at the record in Octo-
ber.

Mr. Wallace, the owner of the celebrated Australian horse
Carbine, contemplates sending him to England. If both are
in form next year what a race it would make between him
and Donovan!

W. L, Appleby has purchased from the Palo Alto Stock
Farm, the two year old tilly, Raindrop by Wildidle, dam
imp Teardrop. The price paid was $1,000. When she won
on Wednesday, Mr. Appleby very nearly got b.iB money back
from the pool box.

A short time ago a prominent Calif ornian breeder offered
$10,000 for Exile, but the answer came from Mr. Lakeland
that$ 20,000 would not buy the horse. Apropos "Round-
about" says:

Billy Lakeland is the only man that could have kept Exiie
on the turf as long as be has. His feet are almost entirely
gone. They have been that way for over a year, and yet Bil-
ly keeps on pulling off an important stake every now and
then. He pulls up with bleeding feet after almost every hard
gallop, and yet he is such a gross fellow that dozens of hard
gallops are required to get him til. All the long summer
through Billy has beeu kept busy In patching up his feet,
and galloping him, and then patching up his feet again.
Some two or three weeks ago, word came up from the Beach
that his feet were holding together, and that Billy had half
an eye on the rich Twin City There was a mad rush for the
up-town bookies, but they were too busy to have anytime to
waste on future eventB. On Tuesday, everybody had him as
a cinch. The bookies that sUrted in to buy 3 to 1 against
him were almost carried off their boxes. Many of them held
up bodly against the torrent, however, and took all that was
offered them At one time, too, it looked as though they
would not have to give it back again. Hamilton waB riding
Lakeland's crack as he only rideB Lakeland's cracks, but he
did not seem to gain a bit under it. As they straightened
out for home, however, Billy's crack seemed to recollect that
he had business at the head of the line. It was soon all over
then.

Gentlemen: — We have used OSSIDINK for the past two year! ,
and consider it invaluable for .Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone, and
Spavins; there is nothing equals it : and for us it effected n permanent
cure where firing failed, although performed by one of tlie mosl suc-
cessful veterinarians ou the continent. We have recoiiiiin'inb-il it to
others with like success, and believe it has more merit than any blister
ever used. Very respectfully yours,

This scientific preparation is an absolute cure
for all bony or callous lumps on horses, and is a
more powerful absorbent than " firing," with-
out creating the slightest blemish.

STOCK AWARDS,

SACRAMENTO.

On Friday morning the ladies' tournament brought a large
crowd to the Park. Thirteen ladies tarried oat, and after an
interesting set of exercises had been gone through, tilting at
the ring, hurdle jumping, etc., the prizes were awarded: —

Fir3t prize, Miss McGratb, riding habit, saddle, bridle,
etc., given by The Examiner, and valued at $250; second
prize, Miss Kembler, $70; third prize, Miss Le Hay, §55:
fourth prize, Mrs. Mrs. Collier, $40; fifth prize, Miss Mcin-
tosh, $35; sixth prize, Miss Dixon, $30; seventh prize, Miss
Miller, $25; eighth prize, Miss Bradley, $20; ninth prize,
Mrs. Ware, S15: tenth prize, Miss P. Goetz, $10; special
prize for best riding, Miss Le May, $50. Miss Gremsha,
Miss Clarke and Mrs. Trefry were awarded extra prizes of
$10 each.

Judging was carried on a'l through the week. The carriage
teams were soon judged. W. Crabbs receiving first, while H.
L. Niehol's pair of bay brown roadsters, by Fallis and Tom
Benton, won still easier in third olass. Standard trotters were
judged by Messrs. Salisbury, H. L. Nichols and T. P. Hen-
dricks, who had a long and unthankful duty in deciding
which should have the ribboos, objections and counter ob-
jections following one another so that it was late on Saturday
before they were finally settled. The Berkshires shown by
A, Smith were generally acknowledged to be the best colfec-
tion ever seen in Sacramento. They were practically walk-
overs in almost every instance.

The judges in the Hereford class were evidently on the
reciprocity lay out, i. e. did not want to give too mnch to one
man. Vaughan's aged bull was beaten in the class, but in the
sweepstakes they reversed their decision, giving the premium
to Vaughan's bull.

The herd sweepstakes had eleven entries, Messrs. Heilbron
and Taughan representing the Hereford breed, while Dr.
Dixon's and M. Weedon's Angus, with Mr. McEnespy's
Devons and six Shorthorn entries, completed the list. Mr.
Chiles, who did not get among the blue ribbons in his own
breed, was awarded the prize over the Herefords, Vaughan's
receiving especial mention, and certainly should have had
first prize.

In Durhams. Coi. Younger & Son took both herd premi-
ums, and J. Marzen the sweepstakes. Messrs. Heilbron and
Chiles were unfortunate, for Heilbron's two-year-old bull was
certainly the best, while Chiles' yearling was good enough
for any company.

first heat. When the bell sounded he went away in the lead,
and at the quarter it was Atto Rex first by a length, Melrose
second, Memo at his wheel. Pink close up. The positions
remained the same until they got to the second turn when
Atto Rex drew away with a lead of three lengths and Melrose

strong fight for second place. Pink came up from fourth

stretch Moses got up to Direct's wheel, but at the half, Direct

The free-for-all pace did Dot till, and instead the directors
substituted a special for Yolo Maid, AdoniB and Gold Leaf.
The betting on the event was heavy and fast, Yolo Maid sell-
ing favorite at §200, Adonis second choice at $160, and Gold
Leaf going at $25

First Heal— Yolo Maid took the lead as they swung into
the turn, Gold Leaf close up to her, Adonis a length back in
third place. At the quarter in 0:33£, Maid was a length in
front. Gold Leaf a length from Adonis. The pace was very
fast on the backstretoh. The Maid went on in front. Adonis
began to crowd np to Gold Leaf, and at the tive-eighths post
collared, and passed her. At tne half in 1:03*, Yolo Maid
was three lengths in front of Adonis, and he two lengths
from Gold Leaf. Andy was laying the heat up. The leaders
gradually drew away from her on the second turn, and when
the straight was reached, the Maid was two lengths in front
of Adonis and eight from Gold Leaf.

In the straight Hiokok began to move Adonis np, closing
his gap steadily. His driver gave him the whip, and he got
to Yolo Maid's wheel. She, too, was given a few taps, and
with the crowd cheering like mad, Bhe went under winner,
Adonis at her wheel, Gold Leaf ten lengths behind. When
the time, 2:12A, was hung out, the crowd yelled.

Second Heat- Fools sold: field $110, Yolo Maid S100.
Adonis had half a length the advantage at the go, but Yolo
Maid swnng into the turn first, Adonis a length from her,
and Gold Leaf a length from him. The Maid was going fast,
and at the quarter, 0:33}, she was three lengths from Adonis
and five from Gold Leaf. Down the backstretch she drew
away still further, and as she flashed past the half-mile post
in 1:05 J, she was four lengths from Adonis and eight from
Gold Leaf, When she came into the straight she was Btill
four lengths to the good of Adonis, Gold Leaf five lengths
behind him. Adonis was again driven for the heat, and got
up -within two lengths of the Maid. Qainton sent the mare
along at her best speed, and would have finished the mile in
2:13, but his brother, who was standing at the distance post,
ran out on the track and waved him back. He slowed the
mare down, and jogged her under in 2:14£, Adonis finishing
three lengths behind her, Gold Leaf eight lengths.

Third Seat. $60 for the Maid and $8 for the field was
the pooling. Andy was moviog his filly pretty strong while
they were scoring, and it looked very much as if he were ont
for the heat. The fitly had done nothing as yet, and was as
fresh as a daisy. She was not going steadily when the bell
tapped, and as they Bwung round the turn she went off her
feet and lost every chance. When she got down again Yolo
Maid was at the quarter fifteen lengths from her and six
leDgths in front of Adonis. Even that distance away, Andy
made a try for the heat, and he sent the filly along at a two-
minute gait. She canght and passed Adonis in the middle of
the backstretch and was within four lengths of the Maid
when she passed the half in 1:05^. She could get up no
closer, and after doing a stern chase around the turn, Andy
took her back. Adonis was six lengths behind the leader
when they entered the straight, but he made for the lead and
forced her ont in 2:15i, Quinton giving her the whip at the
drawgate. where she tired. Adonis was two lengths from her
at the finish, Gold Leaf away back.

U. Shippee's br f Picnic, 115. H. H. Hobb's b c Duke Spen-

was named to win by the talent, .goiug in the box at $60,
Wild Oats Belling Becond choice at $35 and the field eoin"

The result was another of the unexpected things. Picnic
was sluggish at the post and delayed the start considerably.

well and Hitchcook took him away in front, and when
Btraighteoed out on the turn he was five lengths to the
good of them, Poke Spencer running in second place, Pionio
and Hot3pur galloping two lengths behind him. Wild Oats
was five lengths in front as they entered the straight and
oomiug down to the wire for the first timebe held his advan-
tage lead, Picnio, Duke Spencer and Hotspur running to-
gether. They entered the first turn that way, but there the
pace grew a little faster, and at the quarter they were struDg
out again, Wild Oats three lengths away from Picnic in
second plaoe," Duke Spencer a length from her, Hotspur the
same distance from Duke. Duke Spencer commenced to
quit on the backstretch and Hotspur ran past him into sec-
ond place. At the half post Wild Oats wbb three lengths
from Picnic, Hotspur that distance behind the mare, Duke

Spencer ;no more in it. Picnic began her run on the
turn, drawiDg away from HotBpur and getting np to within a
length of Wild Oats at the head of the straight. Hitchcock
sat down on Wild Oats and at the same moment Dan
Dennison got Hotspur going and brought him up to them
with a rush. Picnic got to Wild Oats' shoulder, both under
a drive. Hotspur was on the inside at Wild Oats' heels un-
til they got down to the drawgate when Dennison slashed
him once or twioe and like a flash his head showed in
front and opening a gap of a length, came home an easy two
lengths in front, Wild Oats and Picnio finishing head and
head in second place, Duke Spencer a poor third. Time,
2:40.

ton's b g Lorimer, 4,110. Betting onthe event was, Welcome
5100, Longshot §45, and the field £'23.

First Heat — Fanny F. was first away, and went under the
wire a length ahead of Longshot, and two lengths from Wel-
come and Lorimer. As they went round the turn Lorimer flew
the track, and Morton, who was riding him, had the greatest
difficulty in preventing him from going into the fence, and
when he got him to rnnning again the crowd was bo far
away that his chances were nil. Longshot was in front at
the quarter, Fanny F. at bis flank, ana Welcome at his heels.
Down the backstretch Fenny F. got to the front. Welcome
staying at her flank, and when they got inio the second turn
Longshot was a length behind. Weloonie hung on to Fanny
F. until they reached the drawgate, and then forged past her,
winning the heat by a length, Fanny F. second, Long6hot
third three lengths back. Lorimer never got up to the crowd
after his bad action, and was distanced. Time, l:51f.

Second Heat— Welcome sold for $60 to S22 for the field.
"When the flag fell Welcome and LongBhot went away to-
gether, but on the first turn Welcome showed in front, and
when the quarter was reached she was half a length in front
of LongBhot, and a length from Fanny F. The positions
were unchanged until they got into the second turn, when
Welcome's ta«l went up and she got the whip. She was
dead tired, and LoDgshot came away and won the heat as he
pleased, "Welcome getting second four lengths back. Time,
1:52.

Third Heat— Welcome was bo plainly done for that the tal-
ent forsook her and hedged on Longshot at odds of $70 to
$20. Welcome was ridden from the start, but was never in
i*. Longshot ran the distance with his mouth open, and
won in 1:56, Welcome ten lengths from him.

St. Patrick out by a length in 2:15, Ned Winslow four
lengths back, Belle Button fourth.

Second Heat — St. Patrick's people backed him strong after
the first heat, buying Mm rapidly at $220 to $110 for Edwin
C. and $9 for the field. Edwin C. went off in the lead, but
broke rounding into the turn, and when the quarter was
reached St. Patrick wbb two lengths in the lead, Ned Winslow
second, Belle Button third and Edwin C. fourth acting badly.
The crowd went away from Edwin C, and when he finally
settled down at the middle of the backstretch, St. Patrick was
leading at the half, Ned Winslow in second place, Belle But-
ton five lengths away from them in third place. The posi-
tions remained the same to the wire, St. Patrick winning as
he pleased, Ned Winslow four lengths back, second, Belle
Button third. Hickok drove Edwin 0. like a hurricane from
the half, and just got him inside the distance post. Time,
2:193.

Third Heat.— St. Patrick sold $100 to $25 for the field.
I Hickok made an error at the start which caused Edwin G.

to be distanced. The horse was off his feet when he went nn- |
der the wire, but the bell tapped them off. Hickok evident- ]
ly did not hear the bell and pulled up. He saw the others
going and started after them, but they were already at the
quarter pole, and catching them was out of the qutBtion. .
Hickok went to the middle of the backstretch and then came !
back and took Elwin C. to the stable. With Edwin C. out I
of it, St. Patrick had things his own way, leading from start
to finish, Ned Winslow in second place. St. Patrick finished
in a jog, Ned Winslow five lengthB from him and Belle But-
ton third. Time, 2:22.

Fourth Beat— The race already belonged to St. Patrick.
He went off iu the lead attended by Ned Winslow, pacing
slowly. He allowed Winslow to stay with him until they
reached the * post and then he drew away and took the htat
by a leDgth, Ned Winslow second, Belle Button third. Time, I
2:27 J.

An Interview with Splan-

John Splan was in Canada last week, and this is the way
he is reported by tlie Hamilton Herald:

"I dou'l think Gay will ever b^at the record of Maud S.
He is not the horse to do it. Just think of it, in order to
beat her time you must drive a horse to the half-mile pole in
1:04$ and come home in 1:04. It looks impossible, for how
many horses can gj even the first half of the journej : I tell
yoa they are few and far between."

"Then yon don't think a trotter will ever cover a mile in
two minutes?

"Well. I think that some day they will come very close to
it. Huw soon? Oh, I can't say how soon, but it will be
done. If Aland S., when she was young, had bean given to
Budd Doble to do with her as he saw fit, 1 believe he could
liave driven her a mile close to two minutes. She is one in a
thoosaud, and goes away like a horse running off.

"One mistake that the trotting horse owners have made is
that they have paid too much attention to breeding on fash-
ionable lines of blood an_t have overlooked the early but good
blood lints. Take Tomato Chirforthe Morgan family, for
instance; they had trotting instincts and qualities, but did
not have the opportunities. They would have goi fast trot
ters witb tbe opportunities given a fashionable sire. I re-
member the first horse 1 tver drove in a race. Pelham Tartar.
He was level gaited, level headed and sensible, and I will
never forget him. He possessed the qublities essential toHhe
trotter that will make a fast performance in harness.

"Where will you find Dexter's equal ?" he continued. "I
will tell you, Jast as I told a gentlemin at Cleveland. We
were talking about trotters and Dexter's name was mentioned.
My frieud remarked that Dexter would be nowhere today.
I made this assertion. If Dexter was alive to-day, and was
as good as he was twenty years ago, show me the horse that
conld beat him one mile, two miles or three miles in harness,
under saddle or lo a wagon. The horse dont live that could
beat him. Men who have only been on the turf 15 years
don't know anything about the quality and class of the
horsts 20 or 25 years ago, or how good they were.

' Some people have great idea about their own horses.
When a man comes to me now and tells me that he haB a
wondertal horse that can trot fast enough to break a watch,
I never pay any more attent.on to him than I would if he
bad remarked lhat it was a fine day. People don't figure on
the chancts of their horses goiDg lame, dying, etc. Why,
when a man has a good, Bound horse the chances are 20 a-
gainst 100 that he will never get the word "go" in a race

The Belifounder Blood,

"Imp. Belifounder was a bluod-bay in color, with a bony,
strong head, good eyes aud well set; his ears were thick and
rather heavy; neck well formed, but short; shoulders thick
and very strong; body round and back very strong, with
immensely strong quarters, well let duwn. and joined to a
crooked hind leg and a large bu&hy tail. In height he stood
about 15} hands. When brought oat to exhibit his speed,
he seemed fall of game and mettle, bat very controllable.
His knee action was very attractive and high, and when
Obid (hiB groom) would get upon his bare back and give him
his head, I remember of but one horse that could approxi-
mate bim in speed this way rigged, which was the lamous
George M. Patchen.

Belifounder was remarkably honest. Having seen him
exhibited a number of times at full speed, I never saw him
leave his feet. Hambletonian's dam was by this great horse,
and her speed, at four year old, was very gnat, seldom
equal. cd, even in these fast times. Her colt, by Abdallab,
was the famous Hambletonian. In color he is a dark bay;
heirh', 1 .",■', hands, with rather a coarse head, and ears large
and ueavy; his eyes are large and very prjminent, but mild;
neck short but thin, and well formed; shoulders thick and
rather low, but very powerful; body round and well formed;
back stroog and well coupled, hips long lut narrow; quart-
ers immense, and the mi.scles well let down to the hock;
hind legs crooked and very clean, broad and strong, and
joined to as good a foot as ever presaed the earth. His tail is
high set an1 heavy, and wbeu let out be carries it low or
close to his body. In disposition be is mild, and when
started up on a fast gait his ac.ion is good, being opeu-gaited
behind, with knee action very like his grandeire, Belifounder.
His late owner, I think, was always proud of his Belifounder
cross, and many good horsemen think him indebted to this
cross for his mild aod docile qualities. Let this be as it
may, the combination certainly produced themoBt successful
stallion ol modern times. Alden Goldsmith."

The pavilion exhibit at the State Fair was the best ever
seen there. Every county seemed to vie with its neighbor in
tbe magnificence aod multiplicity of the exhibits, while the
local tradesmen and dealers made an extremely creditable
showing. Tbe Breeder and Sportsman's bootu was con-
stantly thronged, everyone stoppicg tu admire the picture
gallery of noted horses, and secure copies of the great State
Fair edition.

How To Improve Dairy Cows.

The dairy interest in New York S:ate is represented by a
capital of over $300,000,000, and more than 1,500,000 dairy
cows.

These cows average an annual product of a little over
3,000 lbs. of milk; valued at a cent a pouud, makes a yearly
income of S30 a head. When we realize that exceptional
herds average 5,000, S.000, 10,000 lLs. of milk, and even
more, it behooves us to inquire the reason. Animals are of
a plastic nature, and vary to a remarkable extent in form and
other characteristics, according to climatio influences, their
surroundings, methods of handling and breeding.

Witness the Shetland pony, in whose Dative land it has
suffered so much from the cold and scanty feed that we find
as the result a diminutive horse. In contrast to the Shetland
is the large draught horse of the Netherlands aod certain
parts of Belgium and France, which weighs from five to ten
times as much as tbe Shetland, owing priucipallj, if not sole-
ly, to the difference in climate, feed and surroundings. These
different tjpes may be intensified or improved when exported
to other countries, according to circumstances. It is the
same with cattle. In the mouutaius of Wale3, in the rockv
hills of Ireland, and the Inland of Jersey is found a small and
medium sized cow; whereas, in the rich, succulent pastures
of the Netherlands (Holland) , in tt e rich valley of the Tees in
England and Bimiiar localities we find large cattle, as the Hol-
stein-Friesian, the Shorthorn-Durham and the like. As an
illustration of the pawer of man to vary the forma and char-
acerijtics of animals at will, note a breed of sheep in Massa-
chusetts, which was bred from one that had an unusually
long tack and short legs. The owner, in the course of time,
bred his sheep with such lorjg backs and short legs that they
could neither jump fences nor stone walls. Another case is
that of Miss Nott, of this State, who bred all the featherB off
her chickens, so that down was their only cover, and hence
they were unable to fly. Thus it is seen from tbe number of
instances cited, whicn might be increased, that it is within
our power to alter certain characteristics of shetp and chick-
ens. We can also change the characteristics of our cows,
and have already the cow producing in her normal condition
milk sufficient for her calf only. Now an instance is recorded
of one cow's producing over 30,000 pounds of milk in one
year, and over 100 pounds in a day has been given by several
cows. If we desire to change our cows we must breed on the
Bame principle as that followed by the breeder of tbe sheep,
by Miss Nott with her chickens, and those who have mace
great milk and butter producers of certain breedB of tie
bovine family, viz: Retain only those animals which possets
the desired qualities, and those which approach them in thu
greatest degree.

First, we must study tbe surroundings and causes which
have resulted in producing what we want, and then proceed
in accordance with them. Suppose my cows give but 3,000
lbs. of milk in a year, go dry four months, live on poor pas-
ture, are barely kept alive in winter, are forced to stand in
cold barns with icy winds whistling through the cracks!
Suppose they have to be tailed up in the spriLg, and helped
out to the pasture where it takes them half tne season to
gain enough strength to return any profit! When they do
get strong the best of the grass is gone aDd pastures begin to
dry up, and then the poor creatures have to nse their hard
earned strength to get feed enough to keep alive, leaving pro-
tit entirely out of the question. With this treatment cows
are not profitable. How can they be made to return a
profitable income? It can be done by following the methods
practised by successful dairymen, whose cows produce twice
or three times as much as those jost described. This can be
learned by talking with and writing to these successful men,
by taking good dairy and live-stock newspapers, and profit-
iLg by the experience of others, which is constantly de-
scribed in such papers. The colder barns are the more feed
it takes to keep the cowb warm which are housed in them,
when necessary, by battening ap the cracks, as this iB cheap-
er than heating cows up with feed.

Then the feed which was used to counteract the tempera-
ture of the cold barn will in the warm one produce beef or
milk. It is important to bear in mind that ihe chief advan-
tage in keeping improved stock is that it gives a better re-
turn for abundant feed and good keep than ordinary stock.
If you have easy keepers, cows that consume little, yon have
as a rule poor producers, cows that will run you in debt. It
tafees a certain amount of food to sustain life, before any
milk or beef can be produced, and the more feed a cow con-
verts into beef or milk the better the cow. Hence the ptofit-
able cow is a large feeder. In order to find out the n-oney
makers and tbe robbers iu the dairy it io nee ssary to keep
an accurate account with each cow, charging hrr with tbe
cost of keep, and crediting her product. Many dairymen
know the cjst of keeping tneir entire herds, and also what
thty produce, but few aie aware of what each cow makes or
steals, that is, comumes more than t-he produces. This cnu
be told only by keeping an individual account with each
cow, as tbe banker keeps a separate account with each de-
positor, crediting each with what he pays in, and charging
him with what he drawB ont. It is a very simple matter to
number each cow in the herd, if not named, and enter their
numbers or names on the top line of a blank milk record {a
sheet of paper ruled for the purpose with the dates on the
left, so arrange J as to leave a line for each day of the month,
with sufficient space for morrnog and evening milkings).
Tack this record blank to a board, and bang it up in a sta-
ble, also a spring scale in a convenient place near the milker,
who weighs and records iu the proper place the amount of
milk each cow gives, which is footed up monthly, and at the
end of the year the totals are footed, when the profit or loss
may be ascertained, by comparing the valae of the product
with the cost for seep. Evtry fall the poor cows, better
named robbers, should be sold, or better yet, fattened and
killed, and their places rilled with profitable oows. This
practice of weeding out annually the unprofitable, and those
cows which produce the least, will result in the success of
whoever follows it.

With sufficient time and intelligence, wise handling and
breeding, it might be possil le to succeed without buying
stock of the imirjved breeds in which tbe much coveted
good qualities have been so strongly fixed that they are re-
produced with a great degree of certainty.

It rtquirej a lifetime, and sometimes several lifetimes, to
fix these good qualities so thoroughly in any breed that we
can reasonably expect to reproduce them at will. Hence, it
is more economical and profitable for us to purchase an n-
dividual that has, and whose direct autecendents and des-
cendants have the desired qualities, and breed from it. If
sufficient means are at hand, buy several of this kind but if
you have not enough to buy one alone, get some of your
neighbors to join with you in the puichaae of a superior bull,
and soon yon will be on the road to snecesp — [Addr

Makine Important Changes.

Notwithstanding that the racing season is over, Secretary
Pope is still a busy man. Besides winding up the business
of the meeting he is attending to the affairs of the association
for the coming season. A reorganization will be effected, as
the M. A. M. and M. A. will soon have been in existence
twenty years, the period of time designated in the incorpor-
ating articles. Tbe new organization will be called the State
Fair, and will practically be under the fame management.

Surveyors are now at work laying ont tbe location for a
regulation race course. Tbe new course will be long an3
narrow, having two straight qunrter stretches on either side,
while the ends will have a gradual curve. The present track
is D shape. A oew high board fence will aUo be erected very
soon, and n contract will be let for tbe building of a very
large and cemmodinus graod stand, as well as a new floral
hall. The new stand will cost abnut $10,000, and is to be
looated about 100 feet west of the present one. The manv
stables now situated near the approach to the grounds are to
be torn down, and a large driveway will be built around the
course for teams to drive.

At the north aide new stables will be built. It is expected
that th^ improvements will cost about $20,000, and if more
U necea-fftry Sforetery Pope >*ays it w*ll be expanded, as he
proposes having the finest fair and racing grounds in the
west. — Helena, Montana, Independent.

Santa Maria Races.

[By our Special Commissioner.]

The attendance at the fair grounds was larger than any
one conld expect. Where so many people came from I could
notimarnne, but it wbb soon explained to me that the country
was thickly settled, and all came to encourage the races and
exhibition of stock and agri-ulture. The race track is one
mile and will make a fast one if they will grade the turns
correctly and water it often, and not spare the water, lne
lodges for tbe first day were: W. N. Johnston of Santa Bar-
bara Dr. Lucas of Santa Maria, and Lew Warden of San
Luis' Obispo. Time keepers were John S. B 11 of Santa Bar-
bara and the representative of the Bbeedeb and Sportsman.

The raceB opened with a two-year-old trot, in which were
entered a bay blly Neva, a bay rolt Monte, and a bay colt
Peanuts. Dr. Lucas sent them off to a splendid start. Neva
took the lead, and was never headed, and she finished in a

The second heat was a repetition of thelfirat. Neva winning
the heat and race.

Time, 3:12, 3:14.

The next race was a good one. The time is good, for the
track is heavy. When the pool-box was opened there was a
great rush made, and money was thrown into the box much
faster than the clerks could make out the tickets, Othello
bringing $7.50 and the other three in the field for $4. The
starter sent them off all in a banch, and around the turn
the bay filly Arlemisa was ahead, and she won the heat by a
full length. Time, 0:50£.

The pool-box was again opened, and there were many pools
Bold. Othello $3, and field $5. The horses were again
started all in a bunch, and the bay tilly in this heat was
behind, and Othello oame in ahead. Time, 0:51.

The rider came to the stand and compl -lined of a foul. He
swore positively that Othello had fouled him around the first
turn. Othello's rider was called, and he swore positively
that he was always in the lead, and that it was impossible
for him to have fouled the mare. The jockey who rode tbe
roan horse came to the Btand, and he positively swore that
the bay filly had foaled him, anl that if it had not been for
the foul, that hiB horse would have procured at least second
place. The starters were called, and they thought that the
rider of Othello had taken the pole too soon. So two horses
were fouled, one came in ahead and the fourth distanced.
The judges consulted long, and finally decided the heat a
dead one, and the horses were ordered out again. The heat
was uninteresting, as Othello came in an easy winner. Time,
0:53. Othello is a grand-looking colt, and has speed, and is
much better for a mile or mile and a quarter.

The next trot was for stallions, and there was much inter-
est on the race. Com. Nutwood from San Luis Obispo was
backed by the people of his city, and Electro by Santa Maria
boys. Oom. Nutwood has a kind disposition and is an easy
horse to handle. Electro has always been considered a
steady, level-headed son of Electioneer, but to-day be was
nervous and would not trot. Considerable time was taken
up in scoring; finally they got off to a good start. Electro
broke soon after he left the wire and Commodore went easily
to the quarter in 0:39 and to the ha'f in 1:19. Electro acted
badly and did not settle down till he came into the home-
stretch. He oame in very rapidly and was only a length be-
hind when Commodore passed tbe wire in 2:33£.

The second and third heats were easily won by Commo-
dore. Electro would not settle down.

Thursday morning Mr. Murray came from the stock farm
and drove three of us from Santa Barbara to his farm. Just
as we arrived we noticed a horse on Mr. Murray's private
track and we drove there to see what was goint< on. It was
Electro, driven by Mr. Ferguson, and he was oat exercising
the stallion. Mr. Murray asked u* to pull out our watches,
and he ordered the driver to give Eleotro a mile. The stal-
lion came up rapidly and trotted to the first quarter in 0:39,
to the half in 1:15. He was slackened around the turn, and
he came home trotting easily, and our watches marked 2:32£.
We were taken to the large bara and shown many tine colts
by Eleotro.

The second day of the races was largely attended. There
must have been eight hundred there.

The first rare was the 2:50 class. Eondy, 3 years old sold
favorite for So and the field, Altoonita and Harry for $4
The horses were Boon started. The favorite led all the way
and won easily. Time, 2:43}.

Tbe second heat was a repetition of the first. Time,
2:47£. The third heat was closely contested Harry collared
Kondy on the backstretch, and around the last turn Rondy
broke. He soon settled down and a hot finish was made.
Pete Dosle did bis best, but old Harry won the heat by a
neck. Time, 2:42£. There was no change in the pools.

After this race the young ladles competing for premiums
came onto the track escorted by the gallant young man of
Santa Maria, T- C. Nance, who is widely known as a great
favorite amongst the ladies. Miss Clarke, of Point Strode
barebaok, and she rode most gracefully and handled her sor-
rel gelding with ease and confidence. Miss Rachel Bradley
rode very well and bo did Miss Nellie Sunnell Miss Gil-
bert, ten years old, rode a Borre' pony, and well did she ride
him. Mr. Nanoe smiled and loaked happy wheD he was
ordered by the judges to tie the ribbons around the young
ladies' arms. MIbp Clarke received the first premium, Miss
Bradley second, Miss Sunnell third, and an extra premium
was given to MiBS Gilbert.

SATURDAY.

The last day's races were attended by many from San Luis
Obispo. There were twelve hundred people on the grounds,
and race No. 10 for a purse of §250 was looked on with great
interest. TopBey, by Brigadier, was the favorite in the Btart,
selling for $10 against $7.50 for Miss Monroe, by Monroe
Chief, and Fred Arnold; but the San Luis boys soon made
Miss Monroe the favorite. Topsey acted so badly scoring that
she was considered by many as out of the race. Her owner,
after Mr. Ferguson bad tried for half an hour to start her,
was placed in the sulky, and he tried to make Topsey trot,
and after scoring for twenty minntes he nodded for the word
go, although two lengths behind. After she pasBed the wire
Bbe settled down and trotted very rapidly, catching the leader,
Fred Arnold, in the backstretch. She was ahead at the half
and won handily. Time 2:36£. In the second heat Top-
sey was driven by Mr. Ferguson and the three horses were
Bent off to a fair start. Topsey trotted fast in the lead, and
Fred Arnold two lengths behind. Topsey won, Fred LArnold
second, and Miss Monroe almost distanced. Time 2:32.
Harry Leig, driver of MiBB Monroe, asked to withdraw her,
and the judges, after hearing testimony and finding the mare
too sick to trot, she was withdrawn. Fred Arnold and Top-
sey jogged around and trotted the mile in 2:53}.

The novelty race was exciting, as the quarter dash was
closely contested between Sid San and Rucker, and it resulted
in a dead heat. The other quarters were easily won by Ella
Hill. The novelty race (ended the Third Annual Fair of the
Santa Maria Valley Agricultural and Stock Association, and
the Directors who worked so arduously for the success of
their fair deserve much credit for their indefatigable energies,
and they should feel proud of their success.

Santa Maria Valley is most picturesque, and the soil of the
richest sand}' loam. The large^'ranches are being divided
into small farms, and the farmers are improving their little
farms with substantial fences and barns. The people take
much interest in tquine races, and they all feel that it pays
to breed to fine BtaUionq. Merritt & Mnrry's Stock Farm has
many fine-bred mares that he will breed to Eleotro and Sax-
ton. The exhibition of stock at the fair grounds was very
good. Many Clydesdale stallions and mares were exhibited,
and the sucklings from Electro and Fred Arnold were tine-
looking colts.

The racss were satisfactory to most, bat of some there are
always "kickers," and those who loose here naturally *'kiok"
the harder. One man was heard to say that Mr. Den shouH
be dismissed from the track, and also Ms mare, Ella Hill, for
losing the half-mile and repeat. Mr. Lew Warden said that
Fred Arnold and driver shoold have been severely pn rushed.
Mr. Warden made a most popular judge, and he knows a
good horse, and knows how to lecture them when they begin
their *'funnv work."

Walter Elliott, the general superintendent of the races, did
all within his power to make it pleasant for the corespon-
dent of the Breeder and Sportsman, as also did R. W. Nut-
tall, Secretary. All the directors nt the association are jubi-
lant over their successful fair work, and they Bay that if the
State will assist tbem next year, that they will have much
larger purses nest year.

The exhibition of fruit at the pavilion was very good, and
it showed that the soil of Santa Maria is adapted for such
fruits as apples, peaches, apricots and waJiiQts. Dr. L. W.
Lucas had on exhibition a plate of fine quinces. J. E. Card
bad five varieties of apples, and sample of King Phillip's
corn. "Wm. Hudson had a tine exhibit of apples, pears,
peaches, nectarines, grapes and tomatoes. T. C. Naoce had
a fine exhibition of fruits, but the best display of fruits at
the pavilion was exhibited by Abraham Ontiveros. His
apples and peaches were the finest I ever saw, and Mr. Onti-
veros deserves much credit, and the valley owes him a great
deal, for bis exhibit shows what the soil can raise if the
f aimers will take pains with their orchards.

I would like to remain longer in Santa Maria, but the fair
at San Luis Obispo calls me away. Santa Maria will sorely
make a large town. A bank will soon be opened, and other
business will be started. The Narrow Gauge Railroad is
doing much for the valley.

Santa Maria, September 21, 1S89.

The Denver Meeting.

Denver, Colorado, September 21st: — The fall meeting of
the Oakland Park Club was commenced this afternoon at
its track near this city. The weather was quite disagree-
ble, a drizzling rain falling during the first part of the after-
noon.

This course is one of the finest in the West, a good fast
track for trotters — a fall mile — surrounding the seven fur-
loogs for the gallopers. Although the tracks were rather
he*vy some good time was made both in the trotting and run-
ning events.

The new club house was thrown gopen to visitors to-day,
and a large number of ladies viewed the races from its gal-
leries. J. K. Cboate, vice -president of the club, kindly
showed the Breeder and Sportsman's commissioner through
the edifice, which is a model of elegance and comfort. The
main entrance opens from the boalevard, and on the first
floor are the bar room, bath room, ice box, kitchen and toilet
closets. Upon ascending the broad stairway the guests are
ushered into the main hall and sitting room, whicb is finely
finished in oiled native woods and has large open fire places.
This room can easily be converted into a dancing hall. At
the north end is the ladies' reception room, and at the south
end a safe. The next floor is elegantly furnished as a parlor,
with bedrooms adjoining for the accommodations of guests.
Two large verandas extend from the north end around the
east side, the full length of the building. The cost of the
building end furnishings was $20,000.

Sometbing about this club and the grounds may not be
amiss as a prelude to the account of the meeting.

Only the elite of Denver's admirers of horse flesh are ad-
mitted to membership, and thea by paying a $100 initiation
fee. The officers are: D. D. Streeter, president; J. K.
Ohoate, vice-president; J. H. Peevor, secretary; and D. L.
Hall, superintendent. The latter gentlamen also acts as
starter at this meeting.

The grounds are densely covered with magnificent shade
trees, and cool and pleasant drives intersect them. All bar-
ren spots are being sodded, and concrete walks will extend
from the grand stand to the house. In the garden back of
the club bouse will be a cricket ground and tennis court. It
is the intention of the club to build an iron grand stand nest
year that will rival those of any of the wealthy eastern
clubs.

Patsy Duffy is here, and had two mounts to-day. Al-
though Patsy "rides as well as ever, neither of his mounts
attained a place, the company being too fast entirely. Patsy
is settling down a little and is liable to come to the front next
Beason on some good horses. He can have good mounts if he

will.

A. C. Beckwith's three year old Faust, 2:18f, by Florida,
dam Claire by Baywood, would have distanced the others in
the trot had his driver so willed, but be simply jogged and
let them iu for second and third monies. Fanst will meet
Axtell next mouth at St. Louis, and there are many who
think Axtell will have to "go Borne" to beat him.

Gvpsy Queen is entirely too fast for the average :30 class
performer and Almont had a "wo."

Races at Petaluma.

The late fair at Petaluma, seems to have stired up a spirit
of b' rife among horse owners and trainers, and discussion^
are frequent about the relative merits of horses, from a speed
stand point. On the 14th of the present monlh. there was
a match race of which we have received no official notifica-
tion from the secretary, but the f jllowing is an excerpt from
the Argns of that Town.

A large number of people witnessed tbe matoh trotting
race Saturday between J. tt. White's Kitty Almont, and J. P.
Rodehaver's bay stallion Alcona, Jr. While (he horses did
not make as good time as we expected, the second heat, won
bv Kitty Almont 2:26} places her in the "charmed circle"
and was a credit to her, and the trainer and driver, A. N.
Barrell, especially when it is considered that the mare has
been too larre for very sharp work this fall. As she cr mes
from a family that trains on, we may expect to hear from
her at a later day. Her sire, Tilton Almont, was by Al-
mont, and his dam was by Clark Chief. Almont, 33, was by
Abdallah, 15; and his dam was by Mambrino Chief, 11.

Gracy. the dam of Kitty Almont, was by Hamlet, he by
Volunteer, 55, (Goldsmith's). When we come to analyze tbe
hlood of Kitty Almont, it will be seen that she combined the
best strains of trotting blood, and if she never trots agtin,
Mr. White will have in her a brood mare of great promise.

In this race Alcona J., showed some great bursts of speed,
but did not stick to bis work. In fact, he never before be-
haved so badly. He had shown quarters at a 2:18 gait,
which led his friends to believe that be would win a heat, or
force Kitty Almont to trot in 2:26 — bat it was not his day.
We understand that he will be given another trial one or two
weeks from to-day, when it is to be hoped that he will do
better.

From Dr* Maclay, we learn that still another race took
place last Saturday, between J. H. White's Alice, J. B. Hin-
kle's Whalebone, and J. R Hose's Minnie R. Alice won in
three straight heats, tbe time being 2:40 2:41 i and 2:40. The
■winner is a four year old, by Hernani. (a son of Electioneer),
dam Annie by Gen McClellan, 2nd dam by imp The Lawyer.

mareB to trotting stallions. It has been asserted that this
paper ie unduly prejudiced in favor of the Hambletonian
f mily, but such is not tbe case. The Gazette gives tbe re-
sults of tbe races in which 2:30, the recogn zed standard, is
beaten, and from these results its conclusions as to what
strains of blood are the best are drawD. Tbere is no theory
or guess-work about it. The facts are eloquent and irrefuta-
ble arguments.

The 2:15 Stallions.

It is always a pleasure to meet Pete Brandow and Billy
Voiget, "laughing d-ivers." No matter whethor it be first, se-
cond, third or fourth money, or, as will sometimes happen, no
money at all, there is the same smiling face to be seen on
both them.

Wiley Brasfiel'', who gave the stallion Bonnie McGregor a
record of 2:13} over the Lexirjgton track not long ago, is con-
fident that before the season closes he will have reduced that
mark to 2:13 or better, and in view of the fact that in his
miles at Lexington Bonnie McGregor went the first half in
1:05 J, this does not seem unreasonable, says tbe Breeders'
Gazette. Seven stallions have now trotted a mile iu 2:15 or
better, they being Maxey Cobb, 2:12^; Bonnie McGregor,
2:13V; Phallas. 2:13|; Axtell, 2:14; Patron, 2:14i;Nel-on 2:144,;
and Staroboul, 2:14$. It is a significant fact, and one that
people who are interested in the breeding of trotters will do
well not to overlook, that with the single exception o' Axtell
the sires of the=e seven best Btallions in the world were either
horses with records better that 2:30 or had shown tbe ability
to teat those figures. The sire of Maxey Cobb, for instance,
was Happy Medium. In 1S67 this stallion, then four yea*a
old, distanced Guy Miller and Honesty in a race over the
track at Peterson, N. J., tio.tiog the second heat in 2:324.
No sensible man will argue for au instant that 2:32} by a
four-year-old is not proof positive that with age the animal
making soch a record would be capable of 2:30, and as a
matter of fact 2:32J by a four-year-old in 1867 was equal to
2:25 to the present day, especially when one considers the
improvements that have been made in track, sulkies, and the
manner of handling trotters. The sire of Bonnie McGregor.
2:13£ is Robert McGreg ir, whose record of 2:174 was made
but a few vears agt, and he in turn was sired by Maj. Eisall,
a Bon of Alexander's Abdallah that was one of the best known
and most resolute trotters of his day. He was foaled in
1890, aad his record as a matured horse, made over a poor
track, was 2:29, so we see that in the case of Bonnie Mc-
Gregor his sire beat 2:20 in a race and his grandsire won a
contested heat in 2:29 more than twenty years ago.

Third on the list is Axtell, the gre >test young trotter ever
seen, and his 2:14 at three yearB of age is not likely to soon
be beiten The sire of Axtell has no record, not having been
trained, but he is a full brother to Goy Wilfees, record 2:15]-,
and the sire of Lillian Wilkes, 2: 175 at three years, and Sable
Wilke=, 2:18 at the same age, so that the blool lines that
have performed ao well on tbe track are there all right Wm.
L. was in torn sired by George Wilkes, one or the foremoBt
trotters of his day, and a horse whose record of 2:22 was no
measure of his speed. The dam of Axtell was by Mambrino
Boy, a horse with a record of 2:234, so that in his case there
are performing lines close up on both sides. Patron and
Nelson have records of 2:14], and the sire of each is in the
2:30 list. Patron is by Pancoast, and made a record of
£:21| after a season in the stud, and Pancoast was in turn
sired by Woodford Mambrino, that in his oM age Bcored
2-.2U in a well-contested race. There are two get erations of
developed trotters in the male line of Patron's pedigree, both
his sire and grandsire having records better thun 2:22, and in
addition to this his dam is a full Bister to Elvira, that as a
four-year-old beat all tbe records for trotters of tbat age by
doing a mile in 2:18i. It is not difficult to see where Patron
gets the ability to trot faBt at an early eg?. The sire of Nel-
son was Youi'g Rolfe, a trotter with a record of 2:21 A, and he
was by Tom Rolfe, another trotter. Phallas was by Dicta-
tor, a fall brother to Dexter. 2:17£. and Major McDowell, a
man whose word no one will dispute, says tbat in his young-
er days Dictator could at any time show a quarter in 35 sec-
onds, whi"h proves him to have hetter than a 2:30 horse.
Stambonl, 2;14|, is by Sultan, 2:24. That completes the list,
and if after reading the facts any man can still assert that
the developed stallions are not the ones that are getting ex-
treme speed with tbe most certainty then his case is hope
less.

Che preponderance of Hambletouiao blood in the pedigree
of most of tbes« horaes is noticeable. Maxey Cobb and Phal-
las, two of the three that have bea'en 2:14, a*e by sons of
Hambletonian, and tbe other member of tbe trio, Bonnie
McGregor, is by a great-grandson of the same horse. Ax-
tell. 2:14, and next on tbe list, is by a grandson of Hamble-
tonian, and the dams of Pa'ron and Nelson, the two remain-
ing stallions that have beaten 2:15, are by Bons of Rysdyk's
Hambletonion. the dam of Patron being by Cnyler and that
of Nelson by Gideon. The dam of Slamboul is by Rysdyk's
Hambletonian himself. Was tbere ever a more conclusive
and wonderful showing of the potency of the Hambletonian
blood than this one made by a little investigation of the sev-
en entire borses that have beaten 2:15? There are eurelv
enough of tbem to give these deductions force, even with
men who are prejudiced in favor of other s'rains of blood.
The Gazette is being how'ed at and carped about all the
time bv a few inconsequential journals tbat seek to belittle
the influence of Hambletonian b'ood and to make their read-
ers believe that the way to raise trotters is to breed running

The Horse In History.

Some weeks ago a readable little article appeared in Grim's
best style. As he lay upon a sick-editor-bearing couch tbe
entymon of the word horse was sought for, found, and laid
before his readers in the Breeder and Sportsman How
many of the native sons of the Golden West give a thought of
how much they owe to this noble animal, which bore their
forefathers to victory in revolutionary days, aerosB the plains
in happier times, and ploughed the virgin soil that gave to
the world California's golden grain. And now speedy trot-
ters are stepping out from the ranks, and a fresh glory is ad-
ded to California's laurels by our friend the horse.

The word horse is derived from the Anglo-Saxon; the early
form in England was kors, and this before the Norman
Conquest. The Teutonic languages have all preserved the
Bame form, more or less modified. Dutch, ros; German, ross;
Icelandic, hroas.

This term was applied to the horse from its fleetneBS, for
the Teutonic hos or fiar meant running swiftly. Early Hin-
doo writings frequently allude to him as acva—acus, mean-
ing swift, and aean, an arrow.

The Latin name was equus, and as a symbol of water
(aqua) we find in the fabulous traditions of many countries
our swift-running friend aga'n. Are not tbe white crested
billows of the ocean on a stormy day called to this day the
white horses of Poseidon? The god of the sea was Poseidon,
and tbe ancient Greeks were in the habit of throwing into the
sea their best and most richly caparisoned horses as a sacri-
fice to him. In the Island oi Rhodes whole teams and chari-
ots were ruthlessly tumbled over the cliffs as a propitiation to
this god.

Ancient writers refer to the horse and chariot, describing
their nse in battle alone. Hiding on horseback was not then
practised, the Roman's being the first who used the horse to
bear their cavalry, called equties, from equus, a horse. As
European civilization advanced the ploughing ox gave place
to tbe horse, and our present domestic animal is the outcome
of centuries of careful breeding and training.

Babylonist inscriptions do not give us the horse and his
rider. He is invariably found harnessed to the war chariot,
the ox taking the hum Ier place at the plough.

In Central Asii the wild horse known as the Tarpan is
still found, and he is the generally acknowledged ancestor of
our present one Tbe finest horses were tbose of the Medes
and Persians. Herodotus mentions the great horses of the
plainB of Nisaion in Media; and Strabo savs that "the Satrap
of Armenia sends the King of Persia 20,000 horses every
year for the festival of Mithras. The ancient Persians wor-
shipped Mithras a* their sun-god; we have here the swift
animal sacrificed to the swiftly moving sun." Homer uses
the epithet never-tired when alluding to tbe sun.

The white horse was held peculiarly sacred, even the
ancient Saxon consecrated his woite horse to the sun. This
custom had the same origin as the snn worship of ancient
Persia, where as history tells us Darius became king because
his horse was the first to neigh to the rising snn.

Horses were compared to the wind — J^olus the king of
the wind^, was a son of H-i-pp-o-tes. i- e. the horseman. In
the mythology of Scandinavia, Wuodan, from whom was
named our Wedaesdav, possessed a giant hotse eight feet
high, of a grey color like the fog and mist; his name was
Sleipnir. In many Scandinavian legands, mention is made
of the horse.

Egyptian records first picture the horse about the year
1700 e. c. The Arabian horse is of later descent, for Strabo
says: "In Arabia Felix there are neither horses or moles to
be found, their pluce being taken by camels."

Horse flesh was in early days looked upon as a dainty
meat. One thousand years ago the monks of St. Gail, in
Switzerland, had a special blessing for this dish. Camiss
(Koumis) is the fermented milk of the mare, and has been
highly relished for centuries among the wild tribes of Cen-
tral Asia, eastern Europe and Arabia.

In England tbe hor-?e has a long history. The British
horse is mentioned by Cfesar as being very powerful, and
suitable for purposes of war by reason of their stature and
training. Many ancient British enios bear the image of this
tbeir favorite animal. Under Athelstane, German and Span-
ish horses were introduced to improve the breed, originally
started by tbe Angles, Jutes and S-xons.

William the Conqueror won the crown of England through
the superiority of his Norman cavalry, and ever afterwards
devoted much care to the improvement of the breed of
English horses.

King John introduced one hundred Flemish stallions, and
a large number of Spanish and Arabian mares were imported
by Edward III.

Charles II. shouli he remembered by all good sportsmen,
qb it was during his re gn that tbe silver bell, the then prize
for winners of great races, was converted into tbe present
"cop."

The great superiority of the Eoglish horse to his ancestor
the Tarpan, is well exemplified in our present American
trotter.

The latter is folly sustaining, in bis own more useful
sphere, the renown of his Eoglish brother, and in many
instances promises to excel him. The history of celebrated
sires and dams in this conntry is. or onght to be, familiar
to every reader of the Breeder and Sportsma.v. It is im-
possible to bring it within the scope of thie artic e.

Wm. G. Hudson.

A prominent owner of trotters says: "I am strongly im-
pressed with what seems to be a defect in the system of tbe
National TrottiDg Association. I started a horse last year
over a track belonging to the association and I detected a
ringer in the race. Under my protest tbe rineer won tbe
race and the money was. of coarse sent to the National Asso-
ciation. I spent time and money to obtain tbe evidence up-
on which the ringer and the parties to the fraud were expell-
ed, but have been unable after nearly a year to recover even
tbe entrance money that I paid. I was offered far more
than I conld have won to drop my prosecution of the affair,
and now I feel that I shall not again refuse such an offer,
bat will keep my mouth shut when I detect a fraud. It
seems to roe that when the entrance money was accepted
from me tbere was an implied guarantee of protection against
ringers, and that at tbe least tbe entrance money
have been refunded when the fraud was exposed

The above is one reason why we need a Paci*
sociation.

STOCKTON.

Coming immediately iu tiie wake of the State Fair, the
Stockton fair did not begin uoder the most favorable aus-
pices. The attendance upon the first day at the track was
very poor. The association was also unfortunate in its first
day's racing events, two of them fuiling to fill, and a special
hatl to be mad.- up to fill out.

The openiDg event was the free-for-all two-year-old stake,
which had four entries, but ail were drawn except San Mateo
Stock Farm's b c Regal Wilkes. Ho had a walk-over, driven
by Johnnv Goldsmith, and was driven to beat 2:30, making
a record of 2:26£.

The second event was the three-year-old free-for-all, with
five entries, four of which were scratched, leaving Win.
Murray's br c J. R. to walk-over. He did it, making a mile
in 2:26. Then the first race of the d«y was called.
Trotting— 2:26 Class.

The starters were Geo. Cropsey's ch m Eva W., L. J.
Rose' blk m Moro, J. L. McCora'a s m Mary Loo, J. Coch
ran's ch m AUoretta, P»k» Alto's b m Arrol, B. C. Holly's b
g San Diego, John A Goldsmith's s m Nina D., and D. J.
Murphy's blk h Son Jan. Pools opened: AUoretta $25, Nina
D. $22, Eva W. $5, field $29.

Arrol had the best of the go, and when they straightened
out on the turn, she was in front, Eva W. second, Mary Lon
third, and the crowd bunched behind. The positions
remained abjut the same until ihey got to the second turn,
where Mary Lou began to crowd up to the leaders. At the
head of the straight she passed Eva W. in seoond place, and
crowded after Arrol in front, catching her at the seven-eighth
post, and comiug home, both hard driven, head and head,
Mary Lon slipping under ihe wire a bare nose iu front. Al-
loretta got third place, Sao Die^o fourth, Soudan fifth, Moro
sixth, Nina D. seventh, and Eva W. eighth. Time, 2:25$.

Second Heal— &.rrol and Mary Lou were very tired horses
after the first heat, and their stock went low. AUoretta sold
against the field at £30, even money, Nina D. biinging $11 and
Eva W. 83. Arrol appeared slightly lame when they came
to the score, but the heat was fjoght out entirely between
her and AUoretta. Arrol established himself in the lead as
they went around the turn, Alloreita following close up, and
the field strung out away behind and out of the race. The
nositions were never materially changed, Arrol staying in
front and AUoretta hanging dv^gedly to her wheel. There
was a sharp tight in the straight, AUoretta trying hard to
collar Ariul, but the Palo Alto mare was too fleet, and went
under the wire winner by a l.ngth, AUoretta second, Soudan
third, Nina D. fourih, Mary Lou fifth, Eva W. sixth, San
Diego seventh. Time, 2:24£.

Third ffeat—Anul wus made favorite in the boxes at $25,
AUoretta going at $20, and the field at $12. There was
nothing in it except Arrol, al. hough Mary Lou gave him
sometbiogof a race at the finish. Arrol trotted well, and
finished a length in front of Mary Lou, San Diego five lengths
third, Eva W. fourth, Nina D. fifth, Soudan sixth, AUoretta
seventh. Time, 2:24.

Fourth Heat— No pools were sold. Arrol went away fast
at the word and took a long lead, AUoretta coming iu front of
the crowd well bunchel. On the backstretch the crowd,
with AUoretta two lengths iu front of them, crowded up
slightly upon Arrol, but when they rounded the second turn
and came into the straight, she again opened a wide gap.
AUoretta made an effort to get up to her, but failed, and
Arrol took the heat and race, AUoretta se.ond.San Diego
third, Nina D. fourth, Mary Lou fifth, Soudan sixth, Moro
seventh and Eva W. eighth. Time, 2:25A.

Wilkts, B. C. Holly's ch m Pink and John Green's b g Mel-
rose, Btarterl, pools selling at $30 each for Don Toniaa and
PiDk and $10 for the field.

First Heat — Gus Wilkes was the leader as they went around
the turn, Don Tomas at his wheel, Melrose a length from
Tomas and Pink several lengths away. Those positions were
held until they came into the straight. There B-yliss began
to drive Don Tomas for the heat and got to Gui "Wilkes'
neck, but he went off hi6 feet and Gus WUkes came in win-
ner of the heat, Tomas at his wheel, Melrose three lengths
third, aud Pink a bad fourth. Time, 2:25^.

Second Heat — Don Tomas went up in the pools, selling at
$30 to $13 tor Piuk and $10 for the field. When the word
oame Don Tomas got in front aud lead Gus Wilkes by a
leogth around the first turu, Melrose in third place. Tomas
held the lead uniil near the half, when he broke and Gus
Wilkes passed him, making the half in 1:12 Wilkes lead
the black into the str »ight and there both horses broke.
Wilkes c-tnght first and went away iu the lead with the race
almost woo, but when D^n Tomas got down again he came
home with u great flight of speed, passing Wilkes near the
distance post and coming under tue wire first with Gus
Wilkes at his wheel, Pink two lengths away in tbird place
Melrose fourth. Time. 2:24. '

Third Heat— La ihe opinion of the betters, Don Tomas al-
ready ban the race and there were no more pojls sild except
oLe or two in which Don Tomas brougut $30 to $0 for the
entire field. The horseB were given tbe bell at the tirBtscore,
bnt as they went away Melrose broke and ran to the quarer|
Qua Wilkes following him, with Don Tomas close up Ou
the backstrelch Melrose tetiled, and Don Tomus went to the
front. Gua Wilkes was seoond, aud Pink in third pUce at
the half. Around the turn the position* were unchanged,
but iu the straight Holly made an fttbrt to get Piuk up* to
the leader aud drove her hard, bnt Tomas stayed on his feet
and went under the wire with the m.ii« at his wheel, Gus
Wilkes a good thud, MelroBe fourth. Time, 2:25.

Fourth Heal—U was growing dark when they oame out for
the fourth heat. They were seDt off well together, and went
aruun I the turn in a bunch, bnt at the quarter L>jn Tomas
showed in front, Pink close to him, Gus Wilkes at Pink's
wheel, and Melrose close to Pink. On the backstretch the
several gaps were opened wider until they reached the
straight. There was no great change, but there Holly again

s'arted Pink for the heat. At the |-'post she was a length to
the bad, bat was crawling up at every stride, and the two
pa-sed the drawgate and cjme to the wire almost head and
head. Don Tomas jost saving the heU bv a nose, Gns
Wilkes getting third, Melrose fourth. Time, 2;27£.

Wednesday.

There was a great increase in the crowd of Wednesday over
that of the second day. Both the new and old grandstands
were fairly well tilled with people. The betting was lively,
lots of money going into the mutual boxes. It was the first
of the running days and the programme was began with the
Pavilion Stakes, £ mile.

The event was a sweepBtake for two year olds, $300 added
money. There were 18 nominations made but there were
but three starters, Palo Alto's bo Racine, 115, Palo Alto's ch
c Flambeau, 115, and A. G. Tod's b f Jessie C, 110. Palo
Alto's stable was of course such a favorite that there was no
betting of any consequence. W. S. Douathan held the start-
er's flag and Bent them off to a head aud head start. Jessie
C Jumped away to a lead of half a length; Racine went to
her, Flambeau at Racine's flank. They ran olosely bunched
in this order to the middle of the turn, when Jessie C. went
back to them and Racine took the lead, Flambeau staying
with him. The two colts came down the straight together,
both running easy, and Racine went under the wire first by
half a length, Jessie C. four lengths back from them. Time
1:01}.

started. Pools sold on the event, Louis P. $70, Songstress
S50 and Bessie Shannon S15. As the flag went down Louis
P. got off in the lead and set the pace. Bessie Shannon fol-
lowed a length behind him and Songstress trailed two
lengths back. These were the positions when they reached
the quarter. Going down the backstretch Bessie Shannon
went np to Louis P. and passed the half post at his shoulder
but the effort was short lived and before they got to the mid-
dle of the second turn Louis P. had drawn away from her

Street Railway Stakes 1£ miles.
The Street Railway Stakes for all ages, $250 added, one
mi e and a quarter, brought to the post L. TJ. Shippee's br f
Picnic, carrying 114 pounds and Ben Hill's ch g Tycoon,
with 129 pounds up. With that kind of a handicap Tycoon
was considered no match for the mare at the distance, and
nothing better than $27 against $50 would the betters lay on
him. When the play dropped Picnic jumped off a3 if she
was in a -jj- dash and came down the straight with her jock
sawing her head off to hold her in. She passed the wire a
length iu front of Tycoon, but on the first turu he got up to
her head and from there to the head of the straight they gal-
loped n ise to nose. Coming into the straight, Appleby on
Tycoon began his riding and took the horse a length in
front. Then Picnic got tne whip, bnt she did not respond
as was expected of her, and though she was driven hard at
Tycoon she was tired and Tycoon shot under the wire win-
ner by a length. Time, 2:14£.

on Hello agaiLSt the field. Retta B. was fractious at the post
and delayed the start considerably, and when they got awav
with Hello in front she made a rnn and took the lead in the
tarn, setting the pace. At the quarter she was a length from
Dutch in second place, and three leugths from Hello. At the
half the three were in the same order a length apart, bnt as
they swung into the Becond turn Hello closed up and passed
Dutch and made play for ihe lead, comiug into the straight
at Rftta B's head. The tilly was already being ridden.bat
her run had cooked her. Hello gradually drew away from
her and came home easy, finishing a length in front of the

Trotting Match.

A match race between P. Visher's b h Lynwood and C.
Dunham's b m Cleo was given after the running programme
was completed. Some betting was done, Cleo being favorite
at $25 to $12 for the horse. In the first beat Cleo took the
lead at the start and was never headed. Lynwood making a
bad break when he attempted to collar her on the straieht
Time. 2:4U.

The betting nun put $50 against $11 on Cleo after the

lead and staying there. Lynwood made several bad breaks.
Time, 2:40.

"Buster" was put up behind the horse in the third heat.
He succeeded in keeping him in front once he got him there,
and won the heat easily in 2:45. Cleo mtde a tangled break
on the straight. Lynwood stock went np after his winning,
an average quotation being Cleo $80, Lynwood $35. Cleo
had the good of the start, and at the quarter was two lengths

Stockton Gossip.

OntBide Napa the Stockton track is one of the fastest in
the state. It is in especially good condition for the meeting,
and all the horsemen speak well of it.

The association has jnst competed a new grandstand,
which is an elegant structure, built in the latest style and
capable of seating 2000 people. The old grandstand is now
free for all visitors.

Stockton sports are in love with the Pari-mutuals, and half
the money ou the races go in at the $5 clip. On the seoond
day of the races there waB such a crowd trying to get to the
bos that a line had to be formed. That is something unusu-
al on a western track.

Half the horses upon the track are afflicted with this new
disease somewhat similar to epizootic. The disease is mani-
fested by coughing and sneezing, and by a weakness in the
coupling and a swelling of the ankles. The horses out in
town all have it. It has been in the racing stables to a Blight
degiee sinca the Oakland meeting, but was Dot widespread
uotil the horses were quarted here.

Billy Donathan had the misfortune to lose his colt Hubert
Earl by John A. oat of Hattie J. lawt Tuesday. He was sick
with epizootic when he left Sacramento and steadily grew
worse until his death took place. He was a right good two-
year-old and Donathan placed a high value opon him.

Orrin Hickok tell me that Stamboul will not start here for
a record. He, like the otherB, is sneezing and until he get
entirely well he will not appear. The breeder's meeting may
probably find him in condition.

Tuesday, Jimmy Dustin drove ValensiD's b f Fleet, a coup-
le of miles. She went the first in 2:25i, and then trotted a
second in 2:24A, by far her best performance yet.

Johnny Goldsmith had quite a lively lit'le discussion with
the judges Tuesday in regard to the National Association
rules upon walkovers. Regal Wilkes was to walkover, for
the two-year-old stake. At the first attempt, the btU tapped,
but the colt was not going to snit Johnny, and he pulled him
up on the turn, and jogged back for another go. The jad^es
informed Goldsmith, that he could not come back, and take
the bell a second time. Goldsmith held, that he could start
as many times as he wished. The discussion was rather
warm, Johnny then drove the colt for the stake, a mile in
about seven minutes. Having taken the stake to his own sat-
isfaction, he sent the colt to beat 2:30, and he rounded the
mile in 2:26*. The matter of the stake money will go before
the Board of Appeals.

When Racine won the jj- dash Wednesday, the offioial time
was 1:01 J, but there were a dozen men in the timers' stand,
who caught it 1:01, and he went the distance very close to
that time. One ol the official timers caught it 1:01 2-5, a-
nother 1:01 3 5, and still another 1:01$, and the latter was the
only work which they could give the colt. He finished easy
aud 1 am satisfied that he could have run it, in an even min-
ute. He is a great colt.

It was a poor piece of generalship which instructed Narvice
to ride Picnic as he did in he Street Railway Stakes
Wednesday, Tycoon had up 129 pounds while she carried
but 114 The ordinary tactics would have been to have let
the mare go out and make the pace, killing the handicaped got
horse in the mile, but Narvice heed the mare hard until they
well into the straight and when they called on her she wan
naturally outapeeded by Tycoon who in the slowj>ace had not
felt his weight.

Don Tomas has won his first race this season in the spec
ial. I am glad to see bim at the front one time. He is a
wonderfully speedy horse, bnt he is outclassed this season
by faster one and better stayers. Still if Bayless cjuld only
keep him on his feet he would[make a good showing with the
others in the 2:20 class.

Billy Appleby was up on Tycoon Wednesday, his first race iu
some time. There was an old-time familiar look about him
as he rode past the stand, and a lot of men who had seen
him carry many a good horse to victory in the days gone by,
greeted him with a yell when he appeared. He made a very
clever winning, too.

There was a horse race at Sheepshead Bay last wsek, and
when the winner had covered three-quarters of a mile in 1
minute 16 4-5 seconds, his owner was neatly $60,000 richer.
It wbb the Btrnegle for the great Fntarity Stakes, and twent)-
three fashionably bred two year olds received a perfect send-
off aDd raced for blood every inch of the way. The finish
was close and exciting, and amid the cheers and shonts of
nearly 20,000 people Millionaire ex-Congressman Soolt's coll
Cbaoa won by a neck. Millionaiie Belmont's St. Carlo was
second and Millionaire Bald*in's Sinaloa II. third. There
were other rioh men'a horses behind, and one of the worst

Grim'e Gossip.

Now, where do yon go nest
Reno, Santa Barbara or Ukiah?

week: to Fresno. San Jose,

SidDoy Ashe bought a yearling at his brother's sale, and
has since turned him over to Tom Boyle to train.

Since the Bay District track has been recovered, it is now
considered by horsemen the fastest in the United States.

Haggin has not entered a horse at the Brooklyn meeting
owing to his troubles with the Dwyers over the Omnibus
strkes.

Tom Williams presented Bryant \V. to Crittenden's riding
school. Surely the old horse was worthy of a better end-
ing.

White Hat McCarty is now offering his running horses for
sale, including Sorrento. He has lost a lot of money on them
this year.

Margaret S. was shipped from Stockton this week, on her
way to Cleveland, Ohio, where she will take part in the
Spirit Futurity Stake.

Caliente, of the Baldwin Stable, won a very creditable vic-
tory at Graveseud, last Monday, defeating Belle d'Or and Joe
Lee, a mile and an eighth, in 1:57£.

P. J. Shaffer, of Olema, has lost a very tine Antevolo colt.
He was very badly injured, from jumping on a picket fence,
and died from the effects of the wounds.

"West" George, one of the old time racehorse men of Cali-
fornia, has purchased an interest in Applause and has the
fleely son of Three Cheers at Qnincy this week.

Sam Gamble is payine a visit to all the prominent breed"
ing farms throughout the EaBt, and if he can get any good
fillies that suit his fancy he will bring back a carload or
two.

I heard some one say lsst spring that Henry Walsh was
getting too old to train any more, and it may be so. but it is
surprising, if age plays any part in training, that his horses
win nine out of ten.

Foxhalh the Ameriean-bred winner of the Grand Prix de
Paris, Cesarwitcb, Cambridgeshire, and Ascot Gold Cup is
announced for sale at the Newmarket second October meet-
ing.

There was considerable complaint among the drivers at
Sacramento that they could not work their horses on the
traek, it being so occupied with Btook parades, and judging
competitions, together with ladies equestrian turnouts, that
they could not do the proper amount of exercising.

A large number of pacing horse breeders met in Nashville
on the 18th of this month and organized the Pacing Horse
Breeders' Association of Tennessee. FraDk G. Buford, of
Giles connty, was elected President; W. P. Woklridge, of
Maury county, Seoretary, and Lewis T. Baxter, of Davidson
county, Treasurer.

Mr. Tk°odore Winters is again in luck, or rather he is the
fortunate poFsessor of a yearling which all good judges of
youngsters claim is a better yearling than El Bio Key was at
the same age. That there must be good ground for the be-
lief is self evident, as the gentleman has been offered and
ref u sed $15,000 for the last Nor'olk— Marion colt.

P. A..Finigan, Esq. was serenaded at the Depot Hotel, Sac-
ramento, last Friday evening. A whole host of friends as-
sembled, and accompanied by a band of twenty pieces they
took the State Fair Directors by surprise; however, a royal
time was had until the early hours.

Wilber Smith's Annie Laurie by Hubbard, dam Mayflower
by imported Eclipse, grandam Hennie Farrow, won the prize
in her class, four years old and over at Sacramento. Every
one expected Wilber would breed her to a trotter, but he as-
sures me she is in foal to Milner and that he intends sending
her back next year, if the produce suits his critical eye:

"The Australian two-year-old colts are fine, big animals,
with great bou« and muscle; good legs and feet; and would
*how for good looks with anything of their age in England.
They have only been doing slow exercise since they came,
so that I know nothing of their galloping action." This is
given as Mr. Dawson's opinion of the Hon. J. White's Derby
c^lts, Kirkham and Narellau, in St Stephens1 Review.

The liberality of Senator Stanford is proverbial. Ho has
again placed the horsemen of California under obligations to
him, by contributing to the State Agricultural Society a
check for $1,000 toward assisting them in the Spring Meet-
ing of next year. At a meeting of the board of Directors, it
was deoided to name the stake "Matadero" after the Sena-
tors thoroughbred breeding farm.

Mr. Corbitt, of the San Mateo Stock Ranch, showed me a
letter a few days ago, in which a prominent Eastern breeder
asked for terms for Guy Wilkes for the season of 1S90. The
gentleman is desirous of sending 'out a carload of selected
mares to the harem of the sire of Lillian Wilkes:

Col. R. E. Edmonson of Lexington, Ky., has been at Sacra-
mento during the past two weeks. He was invited to take a
hand with Killip & Co. in disposing of the large herd of
short horns, the property of Prewit & Guff. The Colonel
is one of the best auctioneers in Kentucky, and he it was that
sold Bjll Boy, when he brought the enormous price of $51,-
000.

The Horseman says that James Howard, the popular and
efficient assistant secretary of the Washington Park Club,
accompanied by his wife, left Chicago for a trip to the Pacific
slope on Sunday last. Mr. and Mrs. Howard formerly re-
sided in California, and a viBit of a month or so amoDg old
and tried friends and familiar scenes will certainly be pro-
ductive of much pleasure to both, and prove benetioial lo
Mr. Howard's physical health.

There is a Bplendid chance to let Stamboul make a name
for himself, as the Daly party are anxious to make a match
with Lord Byron. From the way the Montana representa-
tive won his race at Sacramento, he hardly seems able to
cope with the old Campaigner, but as he is an improving
horse, it is just possible that a grand contest might be ar-
ranged and an exciting race ensue. It is claimed that Lord
Byron showed three heats better than 2:18 before he was
brought from Montana, and his supporteis feel confident
that ne can beat Stamboul.

Regal Wilkos won a prise of $1. at S'ockton on Tuesday.
That Mr. Corbitt is annoyed, is but stating the case
mildly and he vows that no more of of his horses shall ever
Btart at Stockton.

A typographic *1 error caused me to say week before last
that Pasha 2:27| (made at Marysville) wbb by Elmo, when it
should have been Echo. His dam was Fashion u'lly by
Corect, he by Belmont.

One of the best finishes, Feen for many a day. was that of
young D*n Deonison, on Hotspur in the mile and a half
race, on Friday of last week. It will generally pay to have a
few dollars on the boy's monnts.

The special train on Saturday night was a great aecommo-
datioo tu the thousands who wanted to get home, and many
a blessing was quietly uttered for the Railroad Company,
and the foresight displayed by them.

Taken all in all, the betting talent lost heavily at Sacramen-
to. The last raoe of the last day recouped many an almost
broken sport, the pacer St. Patrick coming to the aid of the
fraternity just in the nick of time.

Mr. William Ea^ton has received instructions from Mr.
Walter Gratz to sell his entire stable of race-horses in train-
ing, including Elkwood. The sale will be he'd during the
first week of the autumn meeting at WestcheBter.

Kingston has again covered himself with glory. Last Tues-
day, he beat Los Angeles, Tenny and Raceland in a mile and
a quarter, going the distance in 2:06A. It has always been
considered that his best distance was nine furlongs, but with
this Dew achievement he proves himself able to go a bit fur-
ther and stay with the best of them. Ths fractional times
for the quarter was 0:26— 0:51£-1:16*-1:41£— 5:06*— half a
second better than the record.

Dr. C. W. Aby is a success as a stirter. Daring the two
weeks' meeting there was but very little trouble, and when
any one of the horses failed to get well off it was the result
of the rider not obeying the starter's instructions.

What crowds there were at the speed contests at Sacramen-
to. The mammoth grand Btand was always filled; while
the thousands who congregated in and around the pool box
put one in mind of Sheepshead Bay on a Futurity day.

Mr. Swan, the superintendent of Col. Thornton's stock
farm, has had a number of the trotters at PJeasantou lately,
giving tb,6m gentle work. The stallion James Madison
(Aoteeo — Lucy Patchen) is moving in excellent shape and is
a colt of muoh promise.

We have received the last number of Goodwin's Official
Turf Guide, which is, as usual, full of interesting informa-
tion to all turfites. It contains a full record of all races run
since the 1st of January njj to and including the finish of
the Coney Island Jockey Club.

Thomas Barns 1b driving a pacer through Montana named
W. H. that is owned by an Indian woman who goes along,
and when anything don't go to suit her she puts on her war
paint and swears like a pirate. The boys all keep their wea-
ther-eye out for W. H. and the old squaw.

One of the sensational youngsters of th° year is Don Pizarro,
by Gambetta Wilkes. He made a pacing record of 2:14i rt-
oently and will be started at Cincinnati against the tttree-
year-old record of Yol"> Maid, 2:14. Pizzirro is owned by
Ceoil Biob., Danville, Ky.

The Fresno meeting promises to be a great success. A
good deal of work has been gone through with and now
every thing is ready for the opening day, Manager Bald-
win has done everything in his power to make Fresno a great
racing center and if there is a failure it will not be his fault.

The Directors of the Healdsbarg Driving Park Association
announce this week a good programme for thrpedays racing
at that charming little city, on October 16th, 17th, and 18th.
The track has been placed in excellent condition, and from
the promises received from prominent horsemen, the meet-
ing is already an asaured success.

The Sporting World says that Senator Hearst is picking a
few crumbs from the racing table, and those who were warm
admirers of the stable in the spring, and have not yet loBt
their admiration, occasionally gather in the shekels accord-
ingly. But there are not many of the band left. They have
been so often disappointed, that Senator Hearst's horses
usually have gone begging in the betting ring of late when
they have started.

Dan Dannison is corralling every thing in sight at Quincy.
On Mondav, Rabe won the 2:30 clasB in straight heats; on
Tuesday, Rabe won the 2:40 class in straight heats; Dave
Douglas the mile and repeat; and G. W. the mile and a quar-
ter; on Wednesday, Hotspur won the Bix furlong dash; G,
W. Ihe mile and a half; and Hotspur was pulled out again
winning the mile. Dan evidently knew what he was about,
when he went up country in preference to Stockton.

The San Jose Directors scored a big point when they se-
cured Yolo Maid. Gold Leaf, Adonis, and Almont Patchen
for the.$l 200, free for all, pacing race. This great contest
will take place on the last day of the fair. Saturday, October
5th, The 2:25 pacing race will go on Thursday instead of
Saturday, as heretofore advertised. Special trains will run
on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, October 3rd, 4th, and
5th, from the foot of Market Street, and leave San Jose at 7
o'clock each eveniDg,

Mr. J. Maguire has sold his two year old filly Apolline, by
Monroe Chief or Sydney, dam Lizzie, by John Netherland
fthe dam of Brown Hal, pacing stallion record. 2:12i, and
Little Brown Jug 2:11|) to F. H. Burke fur $1,500. Mr. Ma-
guire has purchased from the L* Siesta Ranch, the bay stal-
lion. Halcyon, foaled 1886, by Fal'is (son of Electioneer) dam
Girofle, by Elmo. Price paid $1,250. The new owner will
change the colt's name to •'Fresno."

Electric webbing will do wonders sometimes. Bill Mellon,
the man who taught Star Lily how to go square and faBt,
says: "She was kuockkneed. Spreaders and sideweights
had no effect. So I tried a piece of electrio webbing reaching
from the outside of the knee to the shaft bearer on each side.
It worked like a charm and ought to help kneeknockers. I
put it on without tension, and when the knee is doubled it
has a tendency to pull the joint outward."

We learn from good authority that several horse breeders
have been trying to negotiate with Dr. J. W. Trull of Vallejo,
for the farm on which is located the new race track. There
is altogether 170 acres of level land, and in addition to the
race track there is a fine picnic grove, and a well laid out
base ball ground that is very popular. If the traot is in the
market for sale, here is a splendid chance for some of Cali-
fornia's breeders, as the close proxmity to San Francisco
makeB it a very desirable place.

I am sony to announce that Lillian WilBes will not be
seen in public again this year. She failed to fulfill expecta-
tions with the shoes used, so an alteration was made bv the
addition of toe weights' The game daughter of Gay Wilkes
h*s received a severe sprain from the use of the "extras"
while going at full speed and will have to take a good long
rest.

The Directors of the Blood Horse Association had a meet-
ing Tuesday evening, and the preliminary workgone through
preparatory to announcing the dates. A committee was
appointed to confer with Mr. Hinchmau, lessee of the Bay
District track, to find what vacant dates could be seoured
without conflicting with other meetings. The proposed fall
meeting Bhould be the best ever held under the auspices of
the association, as there are a better class of horses in the
State to-day than ever before.

Summons and complaint has been severed on the Tribune
Association by Couosellor Lawton B. Garside, on behalf of
Fred Littlefield, the jockey. The suit, which will be
brought to the Supreme Court, is for libel, and damages to
the extent of $5,000 asked, Charles S. Littb field, the young
man's father, being named as his guardian in the proBf cntion
thereof. The suit is for repeated criticism of the boy's rid-
ing which has appeared in the colnnios of the Tribuue, and
which, in the minds of the boy's relatives, was calcula-
ed to question his honeBty and deprive him of earning
a livelihood at his profession. — [Sporting World.

In reading over the account of the S«n Luis Obispo Races.
I noticed among the winners "Gertrude". It is a pity to see
a mare with such a regal pedigree, pulled out for a Bmall
country meeting. She was imported last Spring from Aus-
tralia, at a coBt of $1500. is by Somnus, dam Geraldine by
Yattendon, grand dam (imp) Atholine by Blair Athol. Her
sire and dam were both first class performers in the colonies,
while among her near relatives are Blairgowrie Hunting-
tower, Habena, Moo thorpe, Narina, and a nost of other
well known equine heroes in Australia.

The California State Veterinary Association held their
quarterly meeting at the Baldwin Hotel, San Franoisco, last
Wednesday evening. A good representative gathering of
veterinarians attended. Dr. Wadham, of Santa Clara, read a
very instructive article oo purient apoplexy, and Dr. OrviB,
of Stockton, gave an interesting account of a peculiar case he
had lately attended. The treasurer's and secretary's reooits
were read and officers nominated for the next year. The
next meeting will take place at the Baldwin Hotel the second
Wednesday in December, and will then adjourn to Los
Angeles, where several new membera are expected to join.

The difficulty between Porter Ashe and Scoggan Bros.,
over the sale of Robin Hood to Mr. Ashe for $1,900, has
been satisfactorily settled, It was very natural for the C.ili-
fornian to feel disappointed to have his purchase show signs
of lameness immediately after the sale, but he was hardly
justified in having the payment of his check stopped under
any circumstances, as the horses were sold as represented
by the auctioneer, and not by any representatio s that may
have been made by the owners of the hordes. The Scoggans
had the stable of Mr. Ashe attached, and the horses were
kept under the eye of a representative of the courts for sev-
eral days. It is generally known to buyers at auction sales
of thoroughbreds that title is all that is guaranteed when a
horse is knocked down.

"Hark Comstock" writes as follows to an Eastern contem-
porary:

A word about Margaret S. I have seen the staunch little
r'aaghter of Director trot three races since I came here. In
none of them have I seen her break, either in scoring or in
the heats, as far as I can recall. In each succeeding race she
has showed improved form. She has another month in which
to meet her competitors in The Spirit Fnturity Stakes at
Cleveland. Just what depreciation may occur from her jour-
ney I cannot compute, but if the race was to be trotted ou
this side of the mountains and her rate of improvement con-
tinuwd as it tjas the past four weeks, I think she would be
capable of putting in three heats from 2:19 to 2:22. In her
as a three-year-old and Direct as a "four-year-old Mr, Salis-
bury's great stallion Director, 2:17, has splendid representa-
tion of his qualities as a sire.

There is a desire among pome of the owners of fast stallion
to have a chance at the Pacific coast "cracks," eBpeciully
Stamboul, 2:14J. "I know whereof I speak," says Albermarle
in the Sportsman, when I stated that a big sweepstake race
for stallions would find favor among Eastern owners. The pro-
position as hastily outlined is that a race i e opened with any
reasonable sum for entrance stake, say from $2,000 to $5,000
each, and the added mouey to be the largest sum any associa-
tion will give to have the race trotted over its grounds. If
Easl&rn owners go to California (which some are willing lo
do), eaoh is to be allowed a reasonable sum for expenses. Hei e
is a chance for a great stallion race with stakes and added
money aggregating from $10,000 to $20,000. If I should
make a prediction as to the Eastern owners that would go to
California to trot their horses, I should name at leaBt two:
C, H Nelson, of Maine, to enter his bay horse Nelson, 2:15,
and Frank Noble, of Miohigan, to enter Alcryon, 2:16J.
Will not some enterprising Californian take the "trip" and
put the plan at once into practical operation?

Every year the publio is treated to a story or two about
FOine speculator of the "shoestring" type who has made a
lucky play with a few dollars and run the same up to a goodly
sum. The New York Graphic relates a recent oase, which
has for its hero Sam Stedeker, a brother of the popular horse-
man, Henry Stedeker. Last Thursday Sam went to Sheeps-
head with a solitary ten-dollar bill; not liking the first race
he waited for the second, parting with a dollar for a poor
dinner. Investing a "V" on Britannic at S to 1 he quickly
had $45. This amount on Buddhist in the third at 12 to 5
returned him $153 Magnate next increased hiB capital to
$400, and when Firenzi came in first his total was swollen to
$960. He backed Barrister with $500 at 2 to 1 in the last
race, aud quit the day $1,950 to the good. Friday, Sam won
a ciol thousand on Cussiuf., $2,000 on Hub S., aud $500
each on Tattler and Onflamme, which increased bis "shoe-
siring" to almont $6,000. Saturday morning he backed
Cracksman in the city pool rooms to the amount of $1,000 at
3 to I against, winning $3,000; he won $500 on Kt-clare,
which be as promptly lost on Hindocraft. His other prizes
of the day were $1,200 from Salvator, $1,800 from Ft^i zi,
and $1,200 from St. Luke— a total for the day of ?'
$13, 164 all told for the three days* plays from tin
egg. Sam Stedeker is a lucky lad, but be is uv
bold on to his windfall many weeks.

THEJHJN,

Standard Challenge Medal Match.

A challenge match for the Selby medal representing the
championship of Central California at Blue Rock targets was
shot off at Stockton, on Saturday last, and was in Eome re-
spects the severest lest of skill with the gun that has ever
taken place in the State.

The medal most be won four times by one man before it
becomes personal property, and as tbe trophy is of great val-
ne, matches for its possession follow in rapid succession. Mr.
T.H Buckingham won it at Vaeaville. a month ago, the
previous holder,. Mr. Frank J. Bassford, being out of the
State, and of course nuable to shoot when challenged. Mr.
Buckingham was challenged by Mr. J. B. "Daisy" imme-
diately, and last Saturday's contest was the result. Mr.
"Daisy" has chosen his shooting name not inappropriately.
Trap shots will reooguize him when it is stated that he is the
popular purser of one of tb.3 great steamships plying to Port-
land, Or. He has for years held preeminence as a field shot
at ali sorts of game, to our notion having no equal on the
coast, but his ventures at the trap date but a few years back.
His success has been astonishing, however, and he may al-
ways be looked for among the winners when he turns his
Parker loose. The medal has been won three times by Frank
J Bassford, once by T. H. Buckingham, and is now in pos-
session of Major S. I. Kellogg, of the Belby Smelting and
Lead Company, donors of the trophy. Major Kellogg is a
fine performer on artificial targers and his score of 75 to win
the medal, under the prevailing conditions is fully equal to
90 under such conditions as have been present in former
matches.

Another contestant was Mr. C. J. Haas, champion of the
California Wing Shooting Club, for the past season. Mr.
Ha»s' work has often been mentioned in this paper, and al-
ways in merited terms of praise. No more graceful, certain
and elegant shot uses the gnn here abouts.

Mr. Austin B. Sperry also Bhot for the medal and made a
good 6core, considering he waB using an L. C. Smith gun,
recently built to his order, about the daintiest bit of gun
work in its lines, balance and finish that has been seen in
locil circles for a long time. The owner had always used a
much heavier gun, and as a consequence was a little uncer-
tain at times; in fact, during the latter portion of the match
he absolutely flinched, but when he "held on" his little
Smith smashed the targets at any range. The previous holder
of the medal, Mr. Buckingham, was decidedly off in his shoot-
ing. He dwelt too long, letting the blue rocks go out to sixty
or Beveuty yardp,a distance at which breaking a bird is always
problematical regardless of accuracy of aim. The shooting
was done on Mr. Sperry's private ground adjacent to his resi-
dence, a fact which contributed much to the comfort of those
in attendance, for the reason that the genially sardonic pro-
prietor at short intervals through the day had suitable refresh-
ments sent ont from his residence near by. Mr. Sperry is
most thorough in every undertaking, and when he decided
to perfect himself in trap shooting he had a complete Blue
Rock oatb't Bet up on his own premises, where he practices
whenever leisure affords opportunity. The latest improve-
ments in the way of traps, trap pullers, indicators and other
paraphrenalia are on the ground, and his shooting is all done
strictly to rule, the American Shooting Association code be-
ing commonly adopted. Mr. Sperry also owns a set of ground
traps and does considerable live bird shooting, the pigeons
being procured from adjacent farms. A flock of fine lively
birds bred by Mr, Geo. Sperry persisted in circliug about the
ehooting ground all day, much to the disquietude of Mr.
"Daisy," who can never let an opportunity to Bcore on live
birds pass unnoticed.

The day was uncommonly cool for Stockton fall weather,
and a strong wind from 8 o'clock, as riflemen say, made the
shooting very difficult. The flight of the blue rocks changed
momently, the targets taking all sorts of eccentric darts and
pitches, in many instances just at the moment of pulling the
triggers, so that the compaiatively lowBcorts afford no index
to the actual merit of the contestants.'As a matter of fact the
match was the most difficult contest at artificial targets it has
ever been our luck to see, and a score of fifty on Saturday
last was a first-rate one, anything above that figure being pos-
sible only to thoroughly superior shotB. Mr. henry A. Bass-
ford was expected, but was unavoidably kept away. As soon
as the men reached the ground a sweepstake was begun, with
six entries, which was won by Mr. A. B. Sperry. Score at
10 Blue Rock Targets, 50 cents entrance, sweepstake:

Another sweep, under similar conditions, was won by
Major S. I. Kellogg, despite accidental loss of a bird, because
the shooter failed to cock his hammerleBs gun. The referee
ruled that under American shooting Association rules the
omission was fatal to Major Kellogg's right to another bird.

A third matoh, under like conditions brought Mr. "Daisy"
in a winner, the only incident of ihe event being a mon-
strously long kill on a live bird, which flew over Mr. Haas,
Borne fifty yards away. That gentleman's little 12-bore
Sneider accounted for the bird in beautiful style.

The main event for the Standard Challenge Medal for
Central California was then on. Messrs. Buckingham,
"Daisy," A. B. Sperry, Kellogg and Huas, entering. Mr!
Frank E. Lane, whose practice scores have generally been
high, was on tbe ground, but not in first class ffittle. and as
he failed to do well in the preliminary matches he thought it
beBt to pull the traps, rather than to enter the arena against
the cracks opposed to him.

Mr. Lane's trappiug waB well done. The trapper kept up
an expressive monologue, addressed to the b^yu in the trap-
ping pits, at times in soothing words of enoouragement, and
then in such tremendously expressive expletives as to act-
ually change the flight of the targets. As soon as the match
begaD, it was Been that the then holder of the medal, Mr.
Buckingham, was not in it. He lingered, shot wildly, and
was off at all points, although usually a sure steady shot. Mr.

"Daisy" was looked upon as a sure winner, but he was so
full of fon and Bkylarking about so much, that he did not
settle down to steady work until too late to retrieve his
chances. Major Kellogg from the beginning did good work
and before fifteen rounds it was apparent that the medal lay
between Mr. H.ias and the Major. Both shot with splendid
judgment, timing well, and seeming to knnw.intuitively the
coming pitch of each target. When each had shot his fifty
singles, Major Kellogg was but one bird ahead of Mr. Haas.

Mr. Sperry distinguished himself by breaking three pairs
stiaight in the doubles, the only one who did so. In his
doubles, Major Kellogg again failed to cock his hammerless
gun, and the pair waB scored against him, but for which fact
his score might have been better. The ruling was a new one,
the point never having presented itself before, audit is worth
the while of shooters to think about it a liitle. Taken as a
whole the matoh was one of the most pleasant ever attended
by this reporter, beside being a fine test of the skill of the
men.

The Selby Medal has been described in this paper, and it
will suffice to say that it is a very rioh bit of goldsmith's work,
both in design and execution. Under the conditions of the
match, 40 per cent, of the entrance fees was presented to Mr.
Buckingham when he surrendered the medal.

SCORE.

At 15 singles and 25 pairs; Blue Rock targets; $10 enirance. Prizes—

Selby Medal to first, Major S. I. Kellogg; 30 per cent of entrance to

second, Mr. C. J. Haaa; 20 per cent of entrance to third, Mr. J. B.

From Deputy Fish Commissioner Callundan-

Mr. F. P. Callundan, who was appointed a Deputy Fish
Commissioner a few months ago. has worthily justified him-
self in his onerous position. The gentleman is peculiarly
fitted for the duties of the office, being courteous and of con-
siderate bearing, but persiBtent and inexorable in pushing
inquiries into cases of suspected violation of the game and
fish laws.

The freedom of the San Francisco markets from unseason-
able game up to September 10th, is almost entirely due to
Mr. Callundan's vigilance and known determination.

He has recently been laid off because of illness, but we
learn from a note written by him on September 24th, that he
is ahout well again, and, as usual, pushing his work. He
would make a useful Chief of the Deputies appointed by the
Commission, having supervision of all the work of the Board,
and, if not discourteous, we venture to suggest his appoint-
ment by the Board. He would have the confidence and
active support of tbe best men everywhere, and would,
because of his peculiarly favorable connections, be enabled to
do more effective work than has ever been done hitherto.

Mr. Callundan writes from Sacramento: "Since getting on
my feut again, I have been looking after the Sacramento
river fisheries for some days. The Fish Commission at its
special meeting recently held here waB disappointed in not
having present some o: the leading sportsmen. If the lovers
of the gun would assist the Commission, it would not be long
before a better state of things would prevail in game and fish
matters. I see by Borne of the dailies, that some reporters
tbink the Commission is not doing enough. All the work of
the Board is at the disposal of the press, and I think if the
papers would investigate more doBely, thty would agree with
me in believing that tue Commission should be credited with
theneoompljshmeotof much good, particularly as regards fish.
His Exoellency, Governor Waterman, received a telegram to-
day,stating that some people were violating the fisb law on Kla-
math Biver. I Uave to night to investigate. The Fish Com-
mission meets in San Francisco about October 1st, and it is
especially requested that such sportsmen as oan attend will
be present at the meeting, which will be held at 220 Sutter
S'reet, in the office of Labor Commissioner Tobin."

IV.

The creation of an accident, Havilah speedily became a
leading factor. Drawn by the hope of gain, and by that wiBh
for betterment which leads the active and whioh the lazy fol-
low, it quickly became a buzzing, and a stinging human
hive.

Under a powerful microscope, it is said the tip of a rapid-
ly growing plant represents chaos in embryo. There is con-
Btant turmoil on the vegetable Burface; there is a continuous
shooti g out and folding in; a minute tpjre strikes ont as
if for freedom in overlaying space, only to go the length of
its minute tether and doable back on its tiny homestretch.
So with man. A new place offers new achievements; excite-
ment, the hope of tome yet andelerininate glory, or lust, one
tue other, or perhaps all, work upon the nurtal mind, spur-
ring to the doing of something which shailsomewheie count.
And it doeB count. It can be always told by the graves in a
new miuing camp — l*they died with their boots on." The
human spores shot out, were Bhot back, and probably had
not earthly time enough to know that they had fulfilled their
mission, when they were sent back to "Mother Dust."

Amid all the excitement of about town, mining was vigor-
ously prosecuted; millions in gold were taken from the mines;
Tulare County was cut in twain; Havilah was made Shire
town of the new Kern Couuly; and prosperity deliberately
moved in and settled. At one time perhaps twenty-five huu-
dred people — where now one hundred could not possibly be
tallied — were residents of Havilah and its immediate vicin-
ity.

Other interests in other places began to conflict, and a
squabble which grew into a red hut fight resulted in the re-
moval of the County Seat to its present comfortable easy-
chair in Bakersfield. The manner and method were some-
what in this wise: In the Legislative session of '69-70 a bill
was presented for enabling a vote upon this question to be
had by the Cuunty. The bill was vigorously opposed by
Senator Fowler, of Tulare, but was pasted on the mat day of
session, then to be pocketed by Governor Haight. The code
adopted by the Legislature of 72 provided for submitting
County Si-at changes to voters of the County, upon petition
to the Board of Supervisors. Upon election being thereafter
held, 72 votes in majority were cast in favor of removal, but
the Supervisors {two of whom we e opposed to any change)
threw out the two pri-cincis of Tejou and Bear Vultey on
account of some informality. At the instance of Col. Baker,
Julius Chester and A. B. Jackson, County Judge P. T. Colby
was applied to for a writ of mandate compelling tbe Super-
visors to canvass these returns. This writ was denied. A
second application was made by Sacramento attoruesa, also
denied. Hon. Theron Beed, judge of the District Court,
was then applied to. He refused a hearing on tue ground
that he was then a resident of Havilah aud personally op*
posed to the removal, but of his own mot on transferred the
case to the Conrt of tbe 13th Judicial District at Visalia,
Judge Denny then presiding. Meanwhile an election waB
held in Tehachipa Di^tiier, and John Narboe (favoring) was
elected Supervisor. Sol. Jewetr, A. H. Deuker and John
Narboe then constituted the Board. The majority employed
A. J, Atwell of Vi&alia to represent them against the applica-
tion for a writ, in answer admitting all the facts as Bet forth
in the complaint. Question arose as to their duty in count-
ing the returns of the two rejected precincts, when Judge
Deering granted the writ, commanding them to count these
ballots. Od the third day thereaftertbe ballots were counted
and on the same day — in tbe spring of '73 — the records of
Kern County were on wheels, travelling from Havilah to
Bakersfield.

McFarland's four-horBe team waB loaded with tbe County
insignia, pomp and power, and left Havilah to the dirge "Lt
Roi est Mori,'' in due time reaching Bakersfield to be welcomed,
amid salvos of fire crackers, with the ptean "Vive le i.oi."
The Board of Supervisors having jumped over the head of
the District Attorney A. C. Lawrence, in their employment
of A. J. Atwell to represent them at Visalia, A. H. Denker
minority member of the Board, employed Freeman on behalf
of Havilah interests, to move for a new trial. The motion
was denied by Judge Deering, then holding Court at Merced,
and an appeal was promptly taken to the Supreme Conrt,
where the appellants' side was argued by the late Judge
Sanderson. This Court unanimously affirmed Judge Deer-
ing's decision. Afterward, when tbe railroad had reached
Sumner (the present Court House walls being np some six or
eight feet), a majority of the Board wished to re-open the
Connty Seat tight, and an application was made to Judge
Theron Beed for an injunction. This waB granted, restrain-
ing the erection of a Court House at Bakersfield, upon stated
grounds, among whioh was that the vote caBt for a change of
the County Baat wus illegal. Upon appeal to the Supreme
Court, this injunction was ako dibmissed; and thia, done in
1375, settled the question permanently.

This row stirred up the blood of tbe whole County. The
least man in the puddle bad his fixed opinion, and knew it
all, just as wisely and positively as his biggest neighbor.
There was no isothermal lines, the whole space was red hot.
No divorces were had on thia account; no brothers were eter-
nally parted; father and son did not forever separate, but
many a warm friendship changed to a hot enmity; the pleas*
ant flow of daily converse often became a roily, dirty tor-
rent; and altogether, between the outs who were just out
aud the bo freshly come ins, it was indeed a monkey-parrot
time. Since then many suns have risen and pet; moons and
moons have waxed and waned; tide after tide has ebbed and
flowed; men have come and gone — also women and young
ohildren— and the bitterness of Bctual strif j has mellowed
into recollectionB only slightly acrid. Time eals all things.
Tbe In-. in of the rose and the sting of despair; the blush of
youthful hope and the pall of lost love; the glory of a first
born and the agony for one. gone wrong; the pride of possess-
ion and the misery of loss; these and more than the.se, aye,
all things moral, are swallowed by the gentle yet relentless,
aud in all the most mt-roiful Time. "Tempus edax" — who
could endure this mortal coil were it not bo? In Buch way,
and with some such resultants, the County Seat question |
was stirred up and settled.

[Time would surely eat up thia valorous band of Pilgrims,
and long before their t. lea are told, if their paths always led .
amid lands so fraught with early incidents. But after one or
two more towns to be conquered, they wiil take to the
woods.]

Mr, Martinez Chick writes from San Diego, that he will be
at the State Tournament with his family, and that Mr. Ham-
ilton, and others, will also attend. San Diego can Bend a
team as strong as any oity in the state, and Mr. Chick will
spare no efforts to have his men in form.

California Ornithological Club.

Mr Walter E Bryant, Curator of the Academy of Sci-
ences', and the leading naturalist of the Pacific Coast kindly
sends us some information about the Ornithological Club,
recently organized as a sub-section of the Academy. The
special work outlined will prove of greit value, especially to
sportsmen who are fond of quail and duck shooting, as it
will determine the mooted question as to the harmfumess of
the birds to vineyardistB and grain growers. The circular is

as follows: . , — t , , . . „

The California Ornithological Club was founded in San

Francisco, February 9, 1880. for the study and advancement

of the ornithology of the Pacific Coast.

The investigation of the food habits of Gallfornian birds

has been undertaken by the Club, and, in order to make this

work successful, the co-operation of all members, both active

and corresponding, and the assistance of others interested in

this undertaking iB earnestly desired.

Assistance may be rendered in two ways: firs . by saving

material for examination; aecond, by making careful observa-

tious and notes. , ,

The conteu's of birds' gizzards and crops may be preserv-
ed in two ways, viz.: in a dry condition or ID alcohol.

The contents of the gizzards of all gramnlvolouB birds
and most of the insectivorous species may be "fed and
nuTcedin an envelope provided for this purpose by be Club.
P In the case of rapacious birds (hawks and owls), all the
water birds, and such land birds as feed on worms or soft,
oathable osects, tbe gizzard must be preserved entire m
peribname , llUnlber „„tten with pencil should

i n Vhpd before outti g tbe gizzard in alcohol, and a few
slitsacufin ittoalCth! alcohol to enter, but not large
enough to permit the escape of contents.

The following memoranda should be kept:

dumber — corresponding to the number fastened to Btom-
aoh.

Name— the scientific name of bird if known, otherwise,
the common name; great care should be exercised in naming
the bird and, if any doubt exists, a question mark (?) should
follow the name.

Sex— should be determined by dissection, otherwise fol-
lowed by a query (?).

Age— particularly in cases of youDg birds.

Locality.

Date — with name of month written in full.

Time— the approximate hour for which may be used the
terms early morning, before 8:00 A. M ; late morning, from
8:00 to 11:00 A. M.; noon, from 11:00 a. M. to 2:00 p. m.; af-
ternoon, from 2:00 to 5:00 P. M.j evening, after 5:00 p. «.'

Nature of Country— mention Borne physical feature of
country and character of vegetation.

Collector— not necessarily the person who shoots the bird,
but the one who preserves the gizzard and is the authority
for its identification.

Pemarks— including any information not included in the
above headings.

Further information and a supply of envelopes may be ob-
tained from the chairman of the committee, Walter E. Bryant,
box 2247, San Francisco, to whom the envelopes should ue re-
turned when filled. Fnll credit will be given in all cases for
material and notes supplied.

In conclusion, the committee desires to state that the aims
of the Club are in nowiBe antagonistic to those of the Division
of Economic Ornithology and Mammalogy of tbe U. S. De-
partment of Agrionllure. They are simply trying to do in
detail for California Ornithology what the Division is doing
in a more general way for the whole United States.

It is well-known that there are many collectors making
skins of Californian birds, who never examine the contents
of the gizzard aud crops, or give attention to the food habits
of birds. With but little additional care they, as well as
sportsmen, might greatly increase their usefulness and the
debt which is already dne them for their interest in advanc-
ing the study of Ornithology.

The State Sportsman 'a Association.

With this issue goes out the lust news about the coming
meeting of the State Sportsmans' Association before the body
oonvenes. The Garden City Gun Club, of San Jose, to
which falls the pleasure of entertaining the Association, is
perhaps of all ciubs in tbe State best prepared for the duty.
It has a large membership of really enthusiastic sportsmeD,
many of whom are widely known, and the rest will be re-
membered alter the meeting as thoroughtreds. The commit-
tee of arrangements, Messrs. F. E. Coykendall, a host in
himself, Geo. C. AndersoD, popular and energetic, A. L.
Ingalsby, known by every man in Santa Clara County, have
spared no effoits to perfect details of the meeting. The shoo -
ing ground will be ready on time, and tbe first match for ttie
Selby trophy will begin at 9 a. m. on Wednesday, no team
being permitted to enter after that hour and no delay for
lBggard shooters being allowed. Plenty of good fresh birds
have been secured, and good shooting alone will win the
Selby trophy. The special rates kindly offered by the South-
ern Pacific Company are available for sportsmen and their
families, and it is to be hoped that the royal men who shoot
Bhot guns will bring along the wives and babies. The special
prize list, printed elsewhere, is a magnificent one buth in
number and richness of prizes.

_ It is expected that the meeting will result in a large addi-
tion to the membership of the assooiation.

Do Mongolian Pheasants Drive out Quail?

Editor Breeder and Sportsman :— It was my intention to
shut my mouth regarding the Mongolian pheasant, but after
reading your remarks saying I had failed to establish the
fact that they were the cause of the scarcity of grouse and
quail in this valley, I must make one more effort to prove
the truthfulness of my former statement. I have conversed
with many farmers in this valley aud they one and all agree
that the Mongolian pheasants have driven the gronse and
quail back into the mountains. In many instances I have
met and talked with farmers that have seen the China pheas-
ant fighting the gronse. On one farm of several thousand
acres owned by Mr. Calaway, where a few years ago, arouse
and quail were plentiful, to-day you could not find a grouse
there, but hundreds of Mougolian pheasants oan be found all
over the ranch. I heard Mr. Calaway make this statement
also, that the Mongolian phea ants had destroyed his garden
for the paBt few years, eating cabbages, turnips, ■ beels aud
stripping the husks from the green corn aod eating that also.
This same complaint comes from many farmers. Now, Mr.
Editor and readers, I am not so bitterly opposed to this bird
as you may think, because he will not lie to the dog, but the
question was asked, "Are they the proper bird that the
sportsmen want planted in California?" To this I will say I
think not. I have lived the most part of 23 years in "the
Golden State and a good part of the open season 1 have speDt
in the field from San Diego to Humboldt County, aud I ought
to know what the sportsmen want in a game bird. It is
true that a young Mongolian pheasant is nice and tender and
serves well as a broil or potpie, but after tbey mature they
are not fit to eat, beiDg poor and full of sinews and their
meat which is light when young, becomes dark with age and
it is impossible to cook them tender. You may say how do
I know this, if this bird is proteoted by Ian? I will save vou
the trouble of asking, by telling yon as I did before, that I
have made a careful study of this bird in the field and on the
table, aud if the sportsmen of California want this kin I of a
bird planted so that in a few years the beautiful little valley
quail may be destroyed and driven away, then I am mistak-
en. If tbe committee appointed to select a game bird bave
ever been among the little Bob White quails and the prairie
chickens they could nut but decide that they are the bi dstlat
California should be stocked witb, because they are Hue
table food at any age. They are true game birds and lie
well to the dog, aud birds that do not fear the pot hunter.
They can be easily obtained for stocking. Tbe writer spent
several months last winter iu Kansas and Indian territory,
where there are thonpands of quail and prairie chickens, and
the farmer boys in that country would jump at the chance of
earning a few dollars trapping tbem. By sending a man well
postedlinto Indiau Ter. and the Pan Handle of Texas, be would
have no trouble in obtaining all the birds he wanted nt Bmall
prices. The quail and prairie chickens breed w< II
large families, and I have never heard it sail

The Great Stall ion Race-

The Balch stallion race for 1889 is now a thing of the
past, and Nelson has been proclaimed the victor. The
entries originally were Nelson, 2:14^; Alcryon, 2:16^-
Brown, 2:18£; Pilot Knox, 2:19g; Gold Ring, 2:18;
Mount Morris, 2:19§; Junemouut, 2:18^; Granby, 2:19£;
Joe Young, 2:18£- Mulatto, 2:22; Rajab, 2:29£; Ready
Boy, 2:29£, and Bayonne Prince, 2:21£. The race was
originally Bet for Thursday of last week, bat owing to
seven storms it was postponed until Friday, and then
again put off until Monday, the 23rd inst. When the
bell called the horses to the post only five responded
they being Nelson, Alcryon, Junemont, Granby and Pi-
lot Knox. Beacon Park, Boston, has seldom seen such a
crowd as were present, the lowest estimate placing the
number at 15,000. The weather was all that could be
desired, and the track tolerably fast, considering the
fearful rains of the previous week. Nelson was driven
by C. H. Nelson, his owner; Junemont by James Gold-
en; Granby by Crit Davis; Pilot Knox by J. J. Bowers,
while Bobbins handled Alcryon.

First Heal— At the tenth attempt they got the word to a
fair start, with Alcryon leading. Nelson won in 2:18£. Al-
cryon second, Pilot Knox, third, Junemont fourth aud Gran-
by last.

Second Heat— Nelson won in 2:17£, Alcryon Becond, June-
mont third, Pilot Knox fourth, and Grauby LiBt.

Third Heat— Nelson nearly distanced the field, Pilot Knox
second, Junemont tbird, Granby fourth and Alcryon last.

"When the race was concluded the crowd made a rush
for the track, cheering heartily for the favorite, who had
won eo easily, and flowers were showered upon him in
profusion. A magnificent floral collar waB placed around
the neck of Nelson, and a handsome wreath and whip
were presented to the fortunate owner. The following
is the full score: —

The State Pair.

Once more the annual State Fair is a thiDg of the past
and it can truthfully be Baid that no others ever held
could compare with that of 1889. The Directors have
all worked with a will, and every effort was put forth to
u-ake it a success, and now they have the self gratifica-
tion of knowing that everything of the past has been
eclipsed. The racing has never been equalled, the stock
exhibited, superior to any hitherto shown, and the pa-
vilion exhibits away ahead of all former ones. This is
the result of hard and united work, and reflects great
credit to the association and its officers. Special men-
tion must be made of the indefatigable efforts put forth
by the Secretary, Mr. Edwin E. Smith who has worked
like a trojau, and well deserves the many encouiums
showed upon him.

Large Purses.

The Washington Park Club, Chicago, announce this
week the opening of the entry list for the fixed events of
1890 and 1891. The added money as usual is very large,
and not to be outdone by the large Eastern clubs, the
Chicago organization adds $20,000 to the American Der-
by, to be run in 1891. At the last meeting this year,
the Washington Park Club, scored a gigantic success
both financially and from a racing stand point, and they
have determined hereafter to add the above amount to
their Derby. Of course as the event has closed for next
year, 1891 will be the earliest to which it can apply.
The Californians who annually make the Eastern pil-
grimage, delight to stop and attend the Chicago meet-
ing, and all the horse owners are in the habit of mak-
ing numerous entries there. This year will surely be no
exception to the rule, and from the liberal purses of-
fered, Washington Park Club may rest assured that the
entries from the Golden State will be as large as ever.

The Trotting Horse Breeders' Association.

We have received word that Sunol is the only paid up
entry in the Stanford Stake, which- will be trotted on
Friday, October 18th. The value of the st&ke is §1,175,
and the Directors have received word that on the day of
the "walk-over" the fast daughter of Electioneer will
be sent for a record. The query arises whether she can
beat Axtell's time of 2:14, made on the Chicago track
There are many staunch supporters of the filly who
think that she can make a new record, and it will be a
pleasing sight if she successfully performs the trick.
There is also a strong probability that a special purse
will be given for the free-for-all pacers. If this is done,
it will insure a large attendance, as all lovers of sport
are anxious to see the "whirlwinds" on the fast Bay Dis-
trict Track.

Director, 2:17 1=4.

The State Agricultural Society in 1886 passed a reso-
lution to award to the owner of the sire whose get should
make the best average performance in the races for trot-
ting foals two, three and four year olds, in 1887, 1888 and
1889, the grand gold medal of the society, the actual
cost of which should not be less than $200. Last Sunday
the medal was awarded to Director upon the performan-

The excellence of the State Fair edition of the Breeder
and Spoptsman is still the subject of maDy favorable com*
mente, as the following will show:

The excellence or the Breeder and Sportsman we thought _
was rot subject of improvement, but the last number excells
any publication of that character that we have ever seen. It
should be in the house of ever farmer and stock raiser.

The Breeder and Sportsman has issued an exceedingly
handsome Stete fair edition. It is full of horse lore and its
piotures of turf celebrities are very tine. — Sonoma Democrat.

The issue of the "Breeder and Sportsman" (San Fran-
cisco) for September 14th is one of beauty and excellence.
The lithographic full-page pictures of noted animals, some
done in colors, are of a high order of art. The pictures of
Lillian Wilkes, St. Savior, Electioneer, Stamboul, Fairmount,
Don Patricio, Junio, and Imp. Greenback, make the number
a veritable gallery of fine stock portraiture. The text mat-
ter is all good, well seleoted on the one hand, thoughtful and
reliable as to the original articles, and generally laden with
information and suggestions of value to breeders. — Record
Union.

The issue cf September 14tb, of the San Francisco Breed-
er and Sportsman, in honor of the State Fair, is a paper
that would be creditable to any publication of its class in tbe
world. It is enclosed in covers bearing lithographs of prom-
inent thoroughbred horses, and the inBide pages contain
numerous articles pertaining to equineB prominent upon the
turf and in the stud. The information given is not only
authentic, but also valuable because of its thoroughness of
detail. This journal is in its line the peer of any in the land,
and the admirers of good horses or legitimate spirts will find
something of interest in every issue. — Gridley Herald.

The Breeder and SportsSian has just issned a splendid
and handsome State Fair edition. There are a number of
pictures of the leading horses of the slope, and the engraving
and printing is a creditable piece of work. Every person
who takes aa interest in horseracing or sport of any kind
should secare a copy. — Pajaronian.

The last isene of the San Frarcisco Breeder and Sports-
man is a magnificent number. The title and last page have,
one a lithogrnph of Greenback, and the other St. Savior, tbe
two thoroughbreds on Gebhard's Guenoc Stock Farm in Lake
County, while the inside contains excellent cuts of Mambrino
Wilkes, Junio, Don Patrcio. Fairmont, Stamboul, Litl'an
Wilkes, Direct and ihe great Electioneer. — Humboldt Time?.

The State Fair edition of the Breeder and Sportsman is
an attractive number. On tie cover pages are illuminated
cnts of imp. Greenback and St. Savior, the property of Fred-
erick Gebbard, Guenoc Stock Farm, Lake County, witu full
descriptions ot these noted horses in the reading matter. The
number contains cuts of Stamboul, with a record of 2:14}, by
Sultan, dam Fleetwing, by Bysdick's HamWetonian, the
property of W. S. Hohart, San Francisco; Electioneer the
noted sire of the greatest number of famous trotters produced
in Cal., by Rybdick's Hambletonian, dam Green Mountain
Maid, by Harry Clay, owned by Leland Stanford; Junio, son

The Breeder and Saortsman for September 14th is a
great paper. HandBome lithograph- of Frederick Gebhard's
thoroughbred horses Greenback and St. Savior, from the
Guenoc Stock Farm, Lake county, adorn the first and last
pages. The pictures are the combined work of E. Witten-
back, whose horse pictures have made him celebrated, and
the well-known lithographers, Britton & Rey, of Ban Francis-
co, and are certainly pretty enough to frame. The paper al-
so contains full page engravings of the noted trotters
Mambrino Wilkes, Junio, Don Patricio, Fairmont, Stamboul,
Electioneer, Lillian Wilkes and Direct. *The paper also con-
tains a vast amount of interesting reading matter and much
valuable information not only to those who have a fondness
for sporting matters, but to the public in general. — Petalutoa

We must notice the edition of September 14th of tbe
Breeder and Sportsman. It contains Borne very fine read-
ing matter as well as some line illustrations, among the latter
that of Doc Aby, the well known horseman. — Lower Lake

The Breeedr and Sportsman came to us last week an ex-
ceedingly interesting and handsome number, the front and
back cover of which contained two excellent litbogrsph pic-
tures of Fred *k Gebhard's celebraledlstallion Greenback andSt.
Savior. We have Been these tine horses many times and pro-

pictures, pedigree and history of a number of their noted
horses. — Solano Republican.

The State Fair edition af tbe Breeder and Sportsman is
the best engraved aud handsomest paper ever issaed on this

famaliar than any of the balance) would recognize the pic-
ture- among a thousand. — (Pleasanton Star.)

Tbe Breeder and Sportsman of the 14th inst. Is probably
the best paper ever published in its particular line. Tbe first

the first being Imp Greenback, by Dollar, and the other St.
Savior; by Eolus. It is a handsome number and contains
much valuable information for horsemen and others. — Ore-

Pfn_\-\s Grove, Sept. 25, 1889.

A L. Whitney, Esq , Owner of Dawn, 2:1S£, Petalu-
ma — Sir: — In your "open letter" of the 18th inst , addressed
to me, you make reference to what you are pleased to term
my "unequivocal assertion" that Lillie Stanley (not your
horse Dawn, 2:18jf, please to note, but his contestant, Lillie
Stanley) was "pulled" in her race at Petaluma.

You characterize this assertion of opinion made by myself
(one of the judges of that race) as "a very serious accusa-
tion," anri, witn swelling indignatioo, add, "No honest man
would "make" (it) without proof positive that "cueh was the
case." (The italics are mine )

Tbat this qnixotic outhurst should be followed by your
"demand" on behali of the drivers of your horse and your-
self, upon whom your (my) remarks reflect, seems, under
the circumstances, natural; but, allow me to call your atten-
tion to a remarkable oversight or omission on your part, viz.,
among those "reflected" upon, you have failed io name the
nominators and owners of Lillie Stanley.

Was the omission accidental? Was it because you agree
with me in considering these gentlemen above any suspicion
of participatiog in track frauds? or was it because almost im-
mediately after the Dawn — Lillie Stanley race at Petaluma,
before she trotted her next race, and before yonr "open let-
ter" was addressed to me you learned that they, the owners
and nominators of Lillie Stanley, had placed said Lillie Stan-
ley Id Mr. Goldsmith's hands? (Mr. Goldsmith, you will
probably recall and admit, did not drive her in her race
again.it Dawn at Petaluma.)

If, however, your omission to include these gentlemen
was not an oversigbt;if it was purpo-ely made believing that
ro opinions of mine or any other judge, would" or could re-
flect on said owner and nominators of Lillie Stanley, why
then should you, the maner of Dawn, winner of the race in
three fast heats infer that such opinion should reflect
on yonr horse or on yourself?

Would it not bo jast a little bit unkind for me to use your
own style of phrase and argument, by saying. "It is a very
singular inference and one that no honest man need have
drtwa?"

Had yon not flatly refused to trot Dawn at all, unless you
started single-handed against Lillie Stanley; bad you accept-
ed the Pre-ident's and the writer's proposition a ad started
for a thousand dollar purse against Lillie Stanley and one or
two of either Palo Alto, Bay Rose, Victor or Jim L.; had
Dawn won the race, and had any one of the drivers of the
contesting horses been punished or even reprimanded by the
presiding judge for not driving to win a heat, would you
have inferred that such action was a reflection upon all the
other driveis? upon your horse? and upon yourself?

Would you, under the .circumstances, have demanded, if
tbe judge be an "honest man," that he should produce
"proof positive" for his opinion and his action?

In conclusion, allow me to inform you, my dear sir, that
eaoh judge is appointed on the presumption and for the pnr-
. poee that he shall form, express and act upon his individual
opinion of what occurs before him on the track, and that,
although hn be at liberty to seek other evidence, if he so de-
sire, to s'rengthen or confirm his opinion, if he have not
sufficient backbone to express his judgment on a point or
conclusion in which he is satisfied his eyes have not de-
ceived him, the judges' stand is no place for him

Having to goto press at such an early hour on Friday
morning, we can give but a meagre account of ihe great race
which took place at Stockton oo Thursday, but still we owe it
to our readers lo give them tome of the particulars, deferring
a full uccount until next week-:

First Heat — Palo Alto, with Marvin in the sulky, Bay Kose,
with Hickok behind him, and Direct, driven by McDowell,
scored up for tbe word, and were .-ent away witb Utile or no
delay. Palo Alto, who had the pole, left his feet immediately
after leaving the wire, and Direct, going very fast, took the
pole from him, leiding two lengths round the turn. Up the
backstretch the little black stili led, trotting strongly, while
Pedo Alto, having settled down, came fast, and passed Bay
Rose, getting to Direct's wheel at the Half in 1:09 i, and grad-
ually closing, was on equal terms at the head of tbe stretch,
Palo Alto slowly but surely got his head in front, and though
the game little black struggled hard, finishing the last half at
a 2:14 gait, he was beaten out half a length, Bay Rose away
back. Time, 2:16i.

Second Heat — After the usual interval, the trio came out
for the second heat. Palo Alto wa-j looking so fit, having
cooled out beautifully, tbat hardly any pools could be sold at
SIOO to the held Slo. The trio again got away with very
little scoring. Palo Alto broke once more before the turn was
reached, but catching well, trotted very fast after Direct,
who passed the first quarter a length in front of him in 35£
secrnds. Marvin drove Palo Alto up to Direct, and with tbe
black doing his best, they trotted like a double team past the
half in 1:0S£, Bay Rose five lengths back. Palo Alto trotted
slowly but surely away from the honest son of Director, h ai-
ing him a edod leogth at the head of the stretch, and drawing
further away. Direct was eased, Palo Alto winning handily
hy six lengths slowing up, Bay Rose just inside the distance.
Time, 2:17£.

Third Heat — Before tbe commencement of this heat, it was
anuonnced from the stand that Palo Alto would be tent for
a record and that at the half mile pole a runner would be
prepared to assist the gallant horse home. There was some lit-
tle murmuring as to this mode of procedure, but as it was
in this manner that Astell proenred his record, no objections
could be made. The word was given on the Becond attempt
at Bcoring, and it was a sight to see the perfect manner in
which Palo Alto started off. No machine ever moved with
more even balance than did this favorite son of E'ectionetr
and Dame Winnie, and as the quarter was passed in 33 sec-
onds, a stilness seemed to have fallen on the thousands
present. There was a something in the atmosphere, that
seemed to tell every beholder that a marvelous feat was being
performed. At the half, Harry Agnew looked up from his
watch and said "there goes the stallion record," and most as-
suredly it did look like it for no horse ever came more stead-
ily than did Palo Alto, the distance having been covered in
1.05£. At this point the running horse came to the assis-
tance of the trotter and carried him along the third quarter
in 34 seconds, the time now showing 1:39£. The speed was
terrific, could he keep it up was thequestiou, but the stallion
never flinched and came as true as a die, the clattering of
the runner's feet only serving as an incentive to keep him at
the high rate of speed at which he was going. Coming down
the homestretch, he seemed to falter, but it was for a second
only, and he came under the wire not having made skip or
break, in 2:13J, equalling the test time ever made by a trot-
ting stallion in a race.

Adelaide's Career.

San Luis Obispo Fair-

The fair opened on Tuesday, tbe attendance being very
good, and evidently racing is looking up here already. There
are several large breeding ranches, notably Senator Hearst's,
Cambria and San Simeon suii farms and the Murphy ranch.
The first race, a sis-furlong dash, had four starters; a false
Btart occurred and Pirate, ridden by Caldwell, bolted, and
going straight for the outside fence, fell over it, seriously in-
juring his rider and getting badly cut by the barbed wire,
which should certainly never have heen allowed in such
close proximity to the trick. The race was practicallyan ex-
ercise gfllop for George Van Gorden's imp. Gertrude, who
was in front all the way, winning hands dowo, and Den's en-
tries were, of course, second aud third. The winner was
imported from Australia Wst spring, and though rather un-
dersized, is almost a perfect specimen of a thoroughbred,
outclassing the others in looks and conformation. The
second race had only two starters. Van Gorden's entry was
at once made favorite ,but E. K. Den's two-year old Gambo
won easily by two lengths. The saddle horse race was very
closely contested. Little Casino winning by a short heari,
owing to Ramsey's good finipb. The five hundred yards
dash was very badly started, Wild Bill having a long way the
best of the start, while Piondont was left at the post. The
San Simeon pet, Wild Bill, won easily.

his time the other two heat-winners were ready to cry quitB,
and as the re^t of the large field went to the barn foi not win-
ning a heat in rive, there were but three in the sixth heat.
Adthide won in 2:31, but even at that slow rate Prospero and
Midnight were barely inside the distance stand when the
little mare went under the wire. It was a race that turf fol-
lowers even yet allude to as showing how hally some horses
can stop when they have shot their bolt, and created a great
sensation at the time.

Adelaide is the dam or Nina D. The chesnat mare Gold-
smith gave record of 2:26} in the fourth heat at Napa, win-
ning the race. She was sent by her owner to be bred to Guy
Wilkes, and at the same time, he said he should like her, to
have a record. Goldsmith soon gave one, but it could eas-
ily be lowered if required. Dan De Noyelles should have a
clipper from Nina and Guy.

The famous stallion Don Cossack died at Peoria, 111., on
Wednesday last. He whs the property of Arthur Caton of
Chicago, aud was valued at $30,000.

Adelaide, 2:19£, that in her day was a great campiigner,
and that gave her sire, Phil Sheridan, a reputation as a sire
of trotters, is dead; The Breeders' Gazette says that she
was retired from the turf in 1879, and since then has been
bred to Nutwood and other trotting sires of note. Adelaide
began her career as a trotter in 1874, her first appearance be-
ing at GoBhen, N. Y., under the name of Kittie Watson. In
addition to being but a pony in Bize, Adelaide was a trotter
of marked peculiarities. In the matter of breeding, it is
stated in the records that her r'am was by a horse culled Sam
Houston, but as a matter of fact she was out of a mare that
was sired by a stnllion brought to Watertown, N. Y., by an
English officer. Ade'aide aod her dam were owned by a
farmer liviog near Watertown, and when the filly was a mere
runt she was broken to harness and began life by drawing
wood into Watertown alongside her dam. Irving Harris, a
a local driver, finally got hold of her and ishowed a mile in
about 2:30. It was then that D&n DeNoyelles, who is con-
temporaneous with Dan Mace, and who is still hale and
hearty, got hold of Adelaide, and he owned her till the day
of her death. He saw what the little mare could do while
she was still at Watertown, paid a long price for her, and
when some one, Beekiug to be sarcastic and alluding to Ade-
laide's lack of size, said that he had probably bought her for
a book mark, Dan only laughed and said that perhaps she
would beat some of the big ones, which she certainly did.

Jack Phillips had her for a while, and then she passed into
the stable of Juhn Splan, who campaigned her when she
was at her best and drove her to her fastest record. A curi-
ous thing about Adelaide was that she would not sweat a
particle, and it is doubtful if there is another case on record
of a race horse being so constituted as to go mile after mile
at top speed and nevtr turn a hair. Splan knew nothing of
this peculiarity whin he took Adelaide aud on bringing her
lo the stable after he had worked her out for the first time
he was alarmed to find tbat she did not sweat at all. He
spoke to the mare's robber about the matter and was greatly
relieved to find that Adelaide bad never been known to per-
spire more than jaet enough to cinse a slight moistening of
tbe hair under tne fiarness. Dnring the two j ears that she
was in Splan's stable he treated her in various ways to induce
perspiration, but nothing tbat he could do in the way of ex-
tra blankets, physic, etc., had the slightest effect on the lit
tie trotter. As a race mare Adelaide was celebrated for her vic-
tories at times when tbe best posted people on such matters-
thought she had not a chance to win.

Th-j greatest of these surprises took place over the Cleve-
land track io 1878 when she was to s'art againBt Prospero,
Midnight, and half a dozen others that were supposed to
out-class he-- a great deal in the mutter of speed. But Splan
and DeNoyelles. who had looked the case over pretty care-
fnllv. came to the conclusion tbat while perhaps Adelaide was
not as speedy as Midnight or Prospero, she was a good deal
gamer, aud on this quility they based their hopes of succeFs.
Pro-pero, a son of Messenger Duroc, won the first heat in
2:22, Midnight vhe second aDd tnird in 2:22 2:23$, and then
Adelaide took the fourth in 2:23± and the fifth in 2:24. By

Name Claimed, etc.

Hemet Valley Stock Kancho. Property of H. M. Johnston:

I want to claim the name of Conifer for bay colt, with star,
left hind coronet white, and a Utile white on right hind heel;
foaled at "Woodbum, Ky., May 26, 1SS9. Sired by Lord
Bussel (full brother to Maud S ), dum Carlota by Nutwood;
second dam Kitty Clyde by Chieftain. Mare bred to King
Wilkes I will ship a car load of colts and fillies to Wood-
ard's sa'e, at Lexington, Ky., about the 26th of this month;
among them there is an untried two-year old Stamboul
(2:14f) c>lt, a yearling Bonnie McGregor (2:1S£) colt, and
a two-year-old filly, full sister to Arrow, pacer (2:134,), all of
them untried, and m st of them unbroken to harness. The
stallion at the head of tbe stod here, this year, will be Larco
by A. W. Richmond, dam Maud Smith by Overland, by Bald
Chief; second dam Nell Crocket (2:24) by Davy Crocket, and
he's a good one.

Shipment of Cattle to Japan-

A few weeks ago. we noticed tbat Japan was gradually be-
coming more and more of a market for our pure bred cattle.
At thai time we mentioned that Mr. Smith had sent a ship-
ment of Durhams (pure bred shi rt-horns). We are now
pleased to learn that the same gentleman (Andrew Smith
Redwood) ha* consigned to an agricultural college in Japan,
four of his celebrated white faced Berkshire pigs and two
pedigree shorthorns, while another breeding farm there has
sent him an order for six Berkshire pigs, a short-horn bulL
and two cows. Mr. Smith is justly proud of the apprecia-
tion of our Japanese neighbors for high class stock, and it is
evidently an indication that we shall soon have a market for
well bred stock at a price that will repay us for our time and
labor.

The Electioneers.

There has been a great deal of newspaper talk anent the
Electioneers, some of them advocating the great prepotency
of the blood, while others take the negative of the question.
The Breeders' Gazette has always been more or less antagonis-
tic to the Palo Alto stallion, but must surely be experiencing
a change of heart, as the following is an excerpt from an arti-
cle In the current number: —

The Electioneer representative that has created a genuine
sensation, however, is Nerval, whose 2:17£ in his second race
places bim well to the front in tbe list of his sire's get tbat
have beaten 2:30. When Palo Alto sold Norval it was not
thought one of his legs would stand training, and this was
freely discussed at the time. As a three year oli he hud
shown Bpeed, and the 2:17^ record of the present season re-
sults from tbe fact tbat the "game" leg was not a* weak as
had been thought. An English mare had been booked 1 1
Bell Boy, and the man who sends a mare across the Atlantic
to breed her to a trotting stallion is as game as they make
them. Bell Boy is one of the bright stars of the Electioue* r
constellation, and in spite of the iojudicioos boomiDg he re-
ceived ss a three year old previous to his Bale at auctton, is
refined gold in the matter of breeding and performance*. It
is understood that if the course of sharpening up now being
undergone by him results in the development of enough
Bpeed he will be sent to beat the four year old record of bis
half Bister, Manzanita, her mark of 2:16 standing at the head
of that age: Norval and Btll Bay in Kentucky doing public
service, with Fallis at Woodhurn, and Egotis; not far awav,
will do much to give the Electioneer blood a chance on the
good mares of the Blue Grass country: Egotist, who is four
years old, and a full brother to Sphinx, 2:20, now doing stud
duty in Michigan, as is also Anteeo, 2:164,. another son of
Electioneer, 1b credited with a mark of 2:29, made recently at
Lexington;

Whites destroyed the gardens. They could not help but do
well in California, as they could fiud plenty of food winter
and summer. If this committee should decide to select the
Bob White or the prairie chicken, and should want further
information I might be able to furnish them with the address-
es of parties in Kansas that might perhaps help them in this
good work of planting a trae game bird m ihe Golden State.
1 have been in hopps to see a few remarks from some of the
California field shots on the subject of game birds. Where
are J K Orr Edward Fay, Crittenden Kobmson, E. h.
Mayberry, Frank Whittier, A. L. Bancroft, Martinez Chick,
Gus Kuight, C. J. Haas, Air. Post, of Sacramento, and many
other honest field sports, some of whom I have had the
pleasure of shootiDg in the field with in pa*t gone days.
Lone live the Breeder and Sportsmam and its Field Editor.
Corvallis, Or., Sept. 22, '89. C. A. Loud.

{Mr. Loud's desire to know the opinions of the noted
sportsmen mentiontd, finds an answering wish in the minds
of very many, both those directly interested in game shooting
and those whose interest is merely that of the wide awake
citizen who feels it his duty to forward all meritorious enter-
prises. We shall be very pleased to receive communications
from the gentlemen mentioned, and also from scores of oth-
ers whose expertness in the field iB no less marked and
whose standing as sportsmen is in no degree le6S honorable.
The Fish Commission is in earnest in its desire to imet the
wishes of sportsmen because it lecognizes in them the men
best fitted by tasie, experience and knowledge to suggest suit-
able game birds for intrtdnction to the State. The necessary
funds are ready for immediate nse; all that remains is for
tbose whose chief interest it ib to express their views. We
think most favorably of Mr. Loud's suggested birds, Bob
Whites and Prairie Chickens. Both afford Bplendid sport,
are hardy, easily acclimated, first-rate food, multiply rapidly
and can be cheaply obtained. Bob Whites are already in-
creasing fast in numbers near Gilroy. .Let us hear from
others. — Field Ed ]

At last we have secured a little story about that most mod-
est of sportsmen, Mr. C. M. Osborn of the California Wing
Shooting Club. He had been mitsed from his accustomed
walks in the city for some weeks, but no one could tell bis
whereabouts until the news came from Tahoe that a woDder-
fully fine shot named Osborn, from San Francisco, was
making the deer, grouse and mountain quail Buffer in tjat
hunter's Elysium about Tahoe City. When particulars
arrived it was known that the successful one waB our quaint,
positive fneni Oaborn. He left the city in early September
in company with the better tbree-quarters of him, Mre.
Osborn, and the pair journeyed by easy itages via Truckee
At Truckee Osborn saw an old black dog lying in the sun,
and recjgn-ziug him. addressed him by name. Soon a svbaii-
tic IooktLg old fellow came pegging up aDd growled, *"£now
that dog?" Oaborn, having his superb pointer ProfesBor
with him, could not back out, so he boldly confronted the
Blue Beard and said, "Yes." The gruff one immediately
launched iiito marvellous stories of quail hunting in North
Carolina, chicken shooting in Nebraska, field trial work in
Indiana, and similar yarns, all of which were as manna to
the soul of Mr. Osborn.

Finally the oracle ceased, and the meek listener, faint with
intent listening, whispeied, "You're Taft." "Umph! what's
that?" said the terrible. "You're that incomparable light of
California dog days! That effulgent luminary of While
Kock, the only Fred Taft!" "Yes; have something," and
the men stood there face to face, centering the Truckee world
in the morning light, a picture for anybody who happened to
be around there. Osborn, suaviler in modo: Taft, fortiter
in re. Then Osborn jogged along to Lewis Page's great
dairy ranch, six miles from Tahoe City, where two long
weeks of solid shooting and fishing biought brown to his
cheeks, sparkle to bis eye^, and the enviable effervescence of
spirits oDly vouchsafed to the healthy. Five big mountain
deer tumbled to the rifle of the cily man. Doz^ds of moun-
tain quails, a score of f-it blue grorse, and other game in
plenty. Poor Professor found his woik hard in the Bharp
sage brnsh. but the plucky old felluw faced the pricks bravely,
and retrieved his birdB nicely.

Two weeks of sunlight, pure air, venieoo, trout, sweet
cream and joy, sent Osborn home refurbished for a year of
intense devotion to his great business, but also confirmed in
the belief that rocks and clods are not insensate, nor streams
without entity, nor sighing firs soulless.

In the standard challenge medal match at Stockton on Sat-
urday last the rules of the American Shooting Ae^ociatlon
governed, and a question arose which is not clearly covered
by the rules. Major S. I. Kellogq was shooting a new ham-
merless shotgun, which he had not owned long enough to
enable him to know all the peculiarities of the gun. On go-
ing to the score to shoot, Major Kellogg opened the gun far
enough to enable him to insert a cartridge, closed the
weapon, properly adjusted the safety, and called, "Pull!"
When he pulled the trigger the gun failed to discharge and
examination showed that the gun was not cocked. The lef-
eree rnled the bird a "lost bird." Rule 20 of the American
Shooting Association Rules for inanimate target shooting is
as follows:

BtJLE 20— ALLOWING ASOTHEB BIHD.

Tbe shooter sball be allowed another bird for either of the follow-
ing reasons:

A— For any defect in the gun or the load, cansing a miss-firo

B — for unintentional neglect to load bia gnn.

0— For unintentional neglect to cock a haici ler gnn.

D— For unintentional neglect to properly adjust tbe safely slide on
a hammerledB gun.

Provided, that in single bird shooting, if tbe shooting is at trapn
set In tbe segment of a circle, the bird shall be thrown from an un-
known trap to be decided by tbe indicator; if from Ihe traps set in a
straight line, the bird sball be thrown from the same trap, at a differ-
ent angle and unknown to the shooter.

[NOTE. The object of tbis rule istoata shooter shall not incur a
chance for defeat by tbe unfortunate circumstance of losing bis shot.)
Soon after, in shooting double Bine Rocks, Major Kellogg
again failed to cock his gun when be inserted cartridges, and
the referee ruled the pair ' lost." In support of the referee's
position, it may be s'aid tnat the rules are mandatory, and
are to be strj tly construed. There is no provis:oo allowing
another bird fur failure to cock a hammerlees gun. Subdi-
vision C says another bird shall be "For failure to cock a
hammer gun." It was probably the intention of the frameis
of the rule to include all guns, but it does not so ai pear.
They may have held to the opinion that all hammerless gumi
are intended to be cocked when opened sufficiently to permit
the insertion of cartridges, but there appears to* be no rule
governing the gon makers in that particular, and, in fact, ex-
periment since the referee's decision under mention shows
that many hammerless guns can be, if gently nanipulated,
opened far enough to insert shells without cocking them.

Major Kellogg, like all experts, handles his gun Rently, and
in opening it, saves the joint and lugs as much as possible

t m

by not throwing down the barrels forcibly, and if be had bad
anyone of a half dozen hammerless guns now in mind, he
wonld likely have suffered in tbe same way.

Major Kellogg claimed that tbe failure to cock was a defect
in the gon, and was covered by subdivision "A" of the rule,
but close reading will show that the defect most caut-e a
"miss-fire," the implication being that tbe loaded shell is in
place, and is stricken by the plunger, but fails to exp'ode
because springs are too weak, the plunger too short, or other
like reason.

We shall be glad to receive the opinion of Dr. E S. Knowles,
Mr. J. K. Orr, Mr. Ed Fay, and other leaders at the trap, on
the point, and we commend the issue to the consideration of
the Executive Committee of the American Shooting Associa-
tion. _

An old lady once bought a parrot, but it swore so her ears
were constantly outraeed. Speakidg one day of the matter
to her pastor, he replied: "Madam, I, too, have a parrot, but
he is very correct in hiB expreBBions; it might be that hang-
ing them near one another would produce good results."
The two birds were accordingly bung side by side in the old
lady's kitchen, when after some hours she heard the follow-
ing remarks:

Old lady's parrot— "This old woman in our house is the
damdest (original much stronger) liar that ever walked."

Pastor's parrot— "And of such is the kingdom of Heaven."

A really serviceable and convenient game marker has long
been a desideratum with those to whom it is part of the en-
joyment of shooting to keep accurate tally of the game as it
is killed, or of trout as they are basketed. At last, however,
Mr, Charles H. Maieham, a gun maker of Sheffield. Eng.,
has invented a marker that fills the bill perfectly. It is in
the shape of a small watch-like instrument with a dial num-
bered to 60. It is operated by pressing a nob which would
be the stem if it was a watch, each pressure moving an indi-
cator over one space on the dial. The marker is to be worn
like a watch and is really a beautiful and useful device, while
its cost, seven shillings, is a bagatelle. We hope some of tbe
enterprising dealers of the city will procure the markers.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphippua.

SUMMARY.

The event of the week will be the exhibition of the Olym
pic Athletic Club, which takes place at the Grand Opera
House thiB evening. The regular monthly exhibition of the
California Athletic Association, on Tuesday evening turned
out to be "stale, flat and unprofitable." The programmes
for the coming amateur games have not, as yet, been issued.
Runners, Walkebs, Jumpers, etc.

The mile run will be the event of the day at the Olympic
games. No less than three local runners claim to be able to
lower the record.

O'Kane thinks McGee will not have such a soft thing in
the quarter. Should both these amateurs toe the scratcn in
good condition, the judges will need to ke^p their eyes open
at the finish. Caesidy will give all hiB attention to the ''two-
twenty,' run, and if not too heavily handicapped, should
make a good record.

Jarvis will, no doubt, lower all the walking recordB, from
h*\lf a mile up, The handicapped should make allowance for
the fact that the ex-English champion has been out of prac-
tice for nearly four years, and it would hardly be fair to han-
dicap him on his old form.

The California Athletic Association will probably allow their
amateur members to take part in the games. Their own
grounns will not be ready for a long time to come, and surely
they will not expect their amateurs to lie on the shelf all the
time. Such good men a^Sessmitb, Holland. Carpenter and
WheJan cannot afford to lay back when the prospect in store
for them is so biight. The C. A. C. is now without a good
walker or distance runner, and if it still continues to order its
amateurs not to compete in games held under the auspices
of the P. C. A. A. A. the probabilities are that all its amateur
out-door men will desert in a body, then it will be compelled
to rely on its "boxers" and "wrestlers." We hope this will
never come to pass, the club is composed of good material,
and if the directors would only take a little more inerest in
the annex the California Amateur Athletic Clnb would be-
come just as famous as the Ca ifornia Club itself.

There is a very slight possibility that the general cham-
pionship meeting of the United States will be held nest year
en the new grounds of the Olympic Club, in this city. We
hope the Ameiicau Athletic Union will decide upon San
Francisco as the place for tha holding of their meeting of
1890. The faot ot the American Championship meeting being
htld out here would keep to boom athletics on the Pacitic
Coast.

The athletic committee of the O A. C. are evidently de-
termined to fiud out whether tbe new grounds will be ready
or not for Thanksgiving Day before they issue their pro-
gramme of games.

Duncan C. Ross intends to sail for Australia next October,

G. M. L. Sachs, has been elected president of the Allerton
Athletic Club, of New York.

The Amateur Athletic Association of Canada will hold its
annual championship meeting at Toronto, this afternoon.
At the Oars.

The bay was very favorable for rowing on Sunday last,
and several crews were out for a spin.

An amateur crew from the Ariel Club rowed to Point Tibu-
ron and back, making the round ot Angel Island.

Two amateurs will row a match race on Lake Merritt,
Oakland, to-morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, for a stake of
$50 a side. The agreement is that one must row three
rounds of the Lake, while the other rows two. P. C. Johu-
son of Oakland has been chosen referee. Both the oarsmen
reside in San Francisco.

The last Sunday in October has been selected as the date
for the four-oared barge championship race. The stake will
be $400, each clnb to a'tvance~$100 additional with a $25 for
feit, as a guarantee of good faith, the second crew to save en-
trance money.

An Australian amateur sculler is at present in the city,
anu he is anxious to arrange a race with some of the local
crack amateurs.

Charley Long is willing to compete with Henchman and
Paine in a thiee handed single ecull race, if it oould be ar-
ranged to take plaoe in San Francisco waters. The two lat-
ter oarsmen, however, do not seem inclined to agree to this.

the wheelmen.
The wheelmen are anxious to find out if tbe O. A. C. will
add any bicycle events to their progiamma for November,
2Sth.

A lady's tricycle race would attract much attention, and w»
would suggest that the O. A. C. include one in their games
' list.

L. G. Rowell, of the Bay City Wheelmen, was tbe only
ri- er who reached Livermore with Tom Roe last Saturday
n;ght. Where was H. A. Matthews?

Several of the local riders took a trip into the country on
Sunday. They all report the roads in a very dusty state.

Big Tom Roe, the gritty Chicago wheelman, started on his
long journey across the plains last Saturday at noon. He
intencs reaching Chicago inside of fifty days. Sevrral of the
local riders travelled far into the country with Roe, and
towards the close of day bid him adieu, wished him success
m his undertaking, and inwardly congratulated themselves
that San Francisco was much nearer than Chicago.

The boys are waiting with "bated" breath for tbe initial
appearance of Knapp, Morgan, and their team of lady riders
in tbis city.

George W. Burton and H. R. Stokes, of the Melbourne
(Australia) Bicycle Club, who started upon a tour lastNovem-
ber, have spent about four months of that time upon their
wheels. They have ridden over 7,000 miles, and have
averaged 85 miles a day while riding. They visited Java,
India, Egypt, Palestine, Sicily, and then started across
Europe.

The L. A. W. has issued for free distribution a neat little
book devoted to ''Improvement of Highways." Fifteen
thousand of these books will be s*-nt to highway committees,
road surveyors, legislatures, and to those interested in the
improvement of the roads of this country. It goes out as a
missionary to plead the cause of better roadways, and to
point the way to reform.

Is the Surf.
The warm weather is proving a boon to the proprietors of
surf bathing establishments. For several days past the dif-
ferent bathing places have been crowded.

John Fay is teaching a class of five ladies at the Shelter
Cove Baths, and on Tuesday all six swam to tbe outside raft,
which is quite a lespectable distance for novices.

Jack Vol»er has several pupils under his charge at the
Terrace Baths, and is proving himself to be one of the best
instiuctors on the coast.

MisB Kelly is one of the best and most graceful divers at
the Shelter Cove Baths.

Clue Jottings.
The San Francisco Trrn Verein will give an athletic exhib"
ition at Woodwards Gardens, on Sunday, October 6.

The regular monthly "knock out" exhibition, of the Cali-
fornia Athletic Association was he-Id at the exhibition hall
on New Montgomery Street, on Tuesday evening last. A-
bout 1800 members and their friends, assembled round the
arena, to see the lilliputian '-fake" gladiators. Warren and
Murphy do tattle for a "draw". Both men were bo success-
ful in their efforts, that they may both feel assured that the
club will not call upon them agaia to entertain its members.
Such men should be driven out of the city.

Tbe members of the Pacific Athletio CJub are well pleased
at their new headquarters. Several improvements are lo be
made and the members will hereafter be able to witness the
monthly exhibitions in cemfort.

Should the Directors of the C. A. C. and the Manager of
Harbor Vie* Park fail to come to terms, ths Golden Gate
AthUtie Club may slip in and secure the grounds for its out-
door members.

The P. C. A. A. A. was to have met on the 20th inst., but
as there was not a quorum present the meeting was post-
poned, subject to the tall of the Chair. This was not the
first time that a meeting of this association had to be post-
poned for the same reason, anl if the delegates representing
the different clubs are too lazy to attend, their p'aces should
be given to men who take an interest in athletics and who
would be willing to work in the interest of the P. C. A. A. A.
The Olympic Club exhibition which takes place this even-
ing at the Grand Opera House, will certainly be well attend-
ed. All true lovers of out-door sports should lend their aid
in making the affair a financial snecess. The programme
will be made up of tbe following events: Dueling Bcene, hor-
izontal bar, sparring, wrestling, pedestal club swinging,
aerial act, pjracnids and wandp, dissolving views, represent-
ing different positions in the art of self defense and wrestling,
and other features of athletic excellence by the memhers of
the Olympic Club and its juvenile class. In addition, as*
sisted by the courtesy of the Golden Gate Athletic Clnb and
the California Athletic Club, Jack Dempsey, middle weight
champion of the world; Jimmie Carroll, light weight cham-
pion of the world, Mike Lucie, the famed middle weight;
George La Blanche, the famous "Marine"; Professor Corbett,
Instructor of the O. 0., and other noted boxers will appear
in a grand exhibition of scientific sparring.

Tbe amateur boxing tournament under the auspices of tha
California Amateur Athletic Association, was brought to a
close on Friday evening, the 20th inst. The tournament
was hardly as successful as might be expected, but still some
of the boseis did well from an amateur etaudpoiut. The
bouts between the light weights were far more interesting
than those between the middle and heavy weights. Some of
the men who entered the mildle and heavy weight class en-
tered merely to "fill up" the programme, and that's about ail
they did. Most of the leading amateurs of this city did not
enter, otherwise some of them who won prizes might have
gone without them. The awards weie made as follows:
Bantam- lBt—W.Boyan, C. A. C; 2d— William Spellmen.
Light Weights — 1st — John Attridge, American A. C; 2d — J.
C. Farlev; 3d— M Hines. Welter Weights— 1st— S. Har-

Weights — 1st — George Murphy; 2d — V. P. White. Feather
Weights— 1st— Gus. Miller; 2d— A. M. Kine; 3d— R. D.
Murphy. The first prize in each class is valued at §100;
second, S50, and the third $25. Winners can select either
medals or jewelry.

The first annual championship meeting of the Western
Association of Amateur Athletes took place Sunday, Sept.
loth, at the St. Louis Fair grounds in the presence of 3,000
people. It rained hard in the morning, and drizzled at in-
tervals dnring the entire day. The track had been fast be-
fore tbe rain, and, notwithstanding the soaking, good time
was made in the sprints.

WThe Btand of colors offered by Mr. G. M. L. Sachs of New
York to the club making the most points went to the Unions
of Chicago, the final score standing; Unions, 36; Missouri?,
35, Wanderers, Chicago, 32.

The second annual championship games of the Amateur Athletic
Union were held Saturday, Sept. 14th, on the grounds of the New York
Athletic Club, at Travdts Island in the presence of at least 3.00U spec-
tators, including several hundred ladies.

The weather was most disagreeable, and many of the good arrange-
ments which the local Games Ccmmittee had made forJ>otb spectators
and competitors were nselesa. There was a feeling of regret that the
"Union" was not more favored by the weather, but the best of the
circumstances was made, and on the whole, ihe championships were
awarded satisfactorily. There were varied opinions concerning the
choice of grounds for holding the games. Travers Island is very nice
when one arrives there, but it is too far away to be popular with the
present means of transportation,

The track is five laps to the mile, and It is situated so that the
surrounding banks form a natnral amphitheatre.

The following note has been handed to us:

"The Pacific Athletic Club will soon give a grand benefit at
its new quarters, situated at Mission and 20th Streets. Box-
ing, wrestling, fencing, tumbling, and other athletic spoits
will be the events of the evening. The affair will andoubt-
ably be a grand success, as the leading lights of amatenr
circles have promised to participate. The Pacific Athletic
Club exlends a hearty welcome to all amateur athletes and
lovers of athletio sports, to patronize their benefit, and to
assist the club which has. and always will, stand by the gen-
uine amateur co'ors and principles of athletics. The club
also hopes that the gentlemen of the press will assUt thtm
as they have done hitherto, and thanks them heartily for
their prior kindness. C. Giery, President."

BILLIARDS.

The Coin is all up for the Main stake in the McCleery —
Savior Billiard Match, 31,000. with Messrs. Joyce aud Orn-
dotff at the ''Cafe Royal". Toe San Jose Contingent (Saylors
backers) say they are ready and willing to increase the Main
stake to $2,000 a side. Metropolitan Temple is the place,
and Monday Evening next, 30th, the time set.

The admission has been place I at 50 cts., no sxtra charge.
The entire balcony has been reserved for Ladies and their
escorts.

The Temple is admirably situated for a billiard contest as
every seat commands a good view of the table.

The game is ''straight" or full billiards. McCleery plays
1,200 points while Saylor plays 900.

The Baldwin increases in popularity under the direction
of Professor McCleery.

The Schaffer — McKenna Match has been postponed.

Beta have been made, that a run of 900, will be beaten on
Monday Evening as Saylor ha* run 710, in a public match,
four years ago. The bet looks like a good one.

Pacific Kennel Club-

The following circular has been sent out by the P. K. C,
and is commended to the candid consideration of members:
San Francisco, September 14, '89.
To members of the Pacific Kennel Club;

A thorough inspectiun oi the books of the clab by the Sec-
retary and Messrs. W. S. Kittle and C. A. Haight, a special
committee appointed for that parpose, shows the present
financial condition of the organization to be as follows:
liabilities.

Bill and premiums unpaid SI 196 .30

ASSETS.

Cash on band 3243.20

Dues from advertising in catalogue and premium list. . 240.28

Net amount due and unprovided for $ 712.82

At a meeting of the Executive Committe, held on Septem-
ber 12th, at 21 Kearny Street, San Francisco, it was ordered
that a statement of the condition of the club be sent to every
member, together with an appeal for immediate and substan-
tial pecuniary aid, Id the enl that the outstanding obligations
may be met, the honor and good name of the club held harm-
less, and the general dog interests of the coast properly sub-
served.

The Pacific Kennel Club has maintained itself through
some three years in the highest position attainable by such
an institution. Its dog shows have been unexceptionable in
every respect; its judges the best in the world; its prizeB
and other legitimate expenditures always promptly met, even
though members were compelled to draw largely upon pri-
vate resources to do so. The Bench Show given by the Club
in May last, was in no respect less creditable to tne club
than the preceding show. It was conducted throughout in
in such a manner as to elicit the highest enconiums from all
who attended it. and its excellence was, and of right Bhould
be, a source of pride to every member. The attendance was
not so great as the Club had a right to expect, aud the re-
ceipts failed to equal the expenses by many hundreds of dol-
lars, a deficiency which it is equally obligatory upon all mem-
bers to make up. and the Executive Committee now appeals
to members, with confidence that the same enthusiasm which
promoted them to organize the Pacific Kennel Club and
I which has lead them to maintain the spotless honor of the
society hitherto, will now arouse them to respond to this ap-
peal promptly and freely.

The Executive Committee ordered that an assessment of
twenty dollars be levied upon all members, payable to the
secretary immediately. The amount is not large, but will
soffice to place ihe club on a sound, safe footing, and will
wipe out all bills and other liabilities. No argument is nec-
essary to establish the right in the premises— that will be
admitted. It is to the t-pirit of members that the committee
appeals, and with implicit faith thai all to whom thin circular
may go will at once respond. Ramos E. Wilson; Pres.

P. O. Box 183S.

Mr. Htnry Wormingtoo from far away Worcestershire in
Eogland reminds us tnat he i* still ihere by sending a copy
' oi an English paper with "H. W." scrawled on one corner.
We knew be was somewhere eUe than here, because bis
cheery voice and delightfully funny stories no loDger help to
Bhorten hours. From Hawaii to Worcestershire is from Zan-
zibar to GreeoUnd, but it is a safe wager that our veteran
courser getB none the worst of it.

Long time, too long, since that bril'iant writer and most
natural of poets, Petronelia, has vouchsafed a line to this
office, but the other day the spell was broken and the sub-
joined came from DreBdeo, Prus&ia, wherever that is. The
admirers ot our correspondent in legiun will enjoy the char-
acteristic bits of analysis and the happy vein of the note,
which came in response to a request for an article. Petro*
nella says: —

Ay de mi! Mr. Prose, what a very formidable document!
Chul»b to the rescue, etc. An article, undying spirit — every-
thing all at once. But tell me how I shall gather inspiration
here, where everything inns to music and beer? Perhaps it
would be well to writeou the transcendentalism of the piscato-
rial art. On second thought that would not do, for I should
be sore to introduce Ramon in his corduroys and yon in your
half dissected coat. Perhaps I could save myself and bal-
ance things by drawing a picture of the courtly J. M. A. in
his silk handkerchief and India headgear. Bat no* that
would be saorilege. The request seems to be quite a free and
undefined one, but how am I to teJl about length? And dare
it be a sketch, or must it be an extremely dignified article,
wherein I lay down my opinions as if they were not to be
controverted by any mortal living?

One day, when I was rather a new arrival here, I went with
a party to the Schiller Garten on the banks of the Elbe. We
sat down for a lime and talkel over the days when Schiller
wrote under a great tree which grew near, or lived at the vil-
lage of Lo=»chwitz, just opposite— a dear little village along
the side of a woody ridge, to which river steamers constantly
plied. Tired of sitting, we walked along a road by the river-
edge and came upon a party of m-nand women fishing. Op-
posite, some boys were having a jolly time bathing in the
Elbe. The picture was not quite ideal, and I fear would not
furnish the right ba^is lor Mr. Chubb's article. Indeed, I
think my miad must be let to run back to California, though
the ordeal will be "summar,"' as Mrs. Poyser would say.

I do not think I am sorry for all the friends who fancy
they mias me, are you? I wish you Cjuld see "that baby."
She grows by the mimute and does not look enough like me
to impress any one as being my daughter. And as people
mistake me always for a miss (instead of taking me for a
madam) and her for my sister, the situation is sometimes
amusing. An English lady in the house said to me the other
day, "It seems really ridiculous, Mrs. Petronelia, to call that
child yours.' On what eroond I could not see. Next Tues-
day''the child" begins her studies again, but in the mean-
time she has declared her iot ntion of writing to yon. She
is to study German and French in school and English with
me. I also superintend her music, so my leisure moments
are not very many. How maay, many experiences I have
gone through since the first of last June when I left San
Francisco! Every one has been pleasing, though and the
tragedy of traveling has krpt itself afar. The life in Ger-
many U many-sided and interesting. And I most confess to
a decided liking for beer gaidens and military bands. The
mo3t truly enjoyable experience I have had, though, was a
visit to Bayreuth and Nurnberg At Bayieuth I heard Paisi-
fal, and Tristran Rnd Isulda. Ramon has, by this time, re-
ceived a full description of the first, and this afternoon when
I mail this I shall send a sketen of the second. There is
nothing in America like it, but I hope there may be
before many years. Great as our country is, she lacks fine
art. Perhaps she is engaged in producing finehuman beings
instead, and how she does it wiih her scant artistic materials
I cannot see. But I have made comparisons enough to be
quite certain on the subject of human beings.

Please tell Ramon not to work too hard, and picture me as
working on the ir icle. It may not be a success, but I shall
try at any rate. I hope you may some day explore the Ore-
gon country in another way than at the tail ot a mule; even
your worst enemy (which I am), etc. Do you not wish you
knew what I meant by my etc*.? But then, you see, yon
would be as wise as I am and that would never do. Excuse
this hurried little scrawl, and believe me sincerely your**,

Petronella.
Dresden, Prussia, Monday, Aug. 26th, 1889

The tides were rather unfavorable for fishing on Sunday
and during the week, and very few large catches were made,

A few good messes of smelt were caught at the new wharf,
Sansaliioon Sunday.

Fishing along the wharves both in the city and across the
bay, has been very poor of late, and the anglers are beginning
to seek new grounds.

One of the tog boats mide a trip to the Fdrallooe Islands,
last Saturday night, but the party on board were much dis-
gusted at the scarcity of fish. The chances are that the
grounds are fished out. In the deep water off Kershaw's
Point some very large rock cod have been hooked lately, and
the anglers anticipate that a good deep sea fishiog ground
will yet be discovered in that neighborhood. The Farallooe
Island will probably be abandoned after this season as the
old time fishermen say that these grounds are no longer any
good.

Black bass abound in Monterey Bay. Considerable num-
bers have been recently caught by parties trolling near the
whaling Btation. The tackle used is a heavy line a large
galvanized hook, and the bait the ordinary squid.

The tideswill be more favorable for the next week and there
should be an improvement in the bay fishing.

THURSDAY.

There was a splendid attendance upon the third day, and
a good programme was offered the crowd, the day beginning
with the

Trotting 2:20 Class.

Atto Rex went lame in his morning's work and was scratch-
ed, leaving Orrin Hickok's b g Alfred S , Billy Donathan's br
g Franklin, and G. A. Doherty's o h Victor as starters, pools
selling with Alfred S. at about even money against the field.

First Heat— Alfred S. was on the outside and had the worst
of the send-off. Franklin went away in front, Victor sec-
ond, Alfred S. tbird. Alfred went around them on the turn,
and just past the quarter showed in front. Half way down
the backatretcb it was Alfred S. first, Franklin a length sec-
ond, Victor two lengths third. The positions were never
changed to any extent. On the straight Franklin came np
close to Alfred S., and forced him out in 2:19£, Victor a poor
third.

Second Heal— Pools now sold Alfred S. $50, field $12. It
was a simple pick-up for Alfred S. He took the lead at the
turn, Franklin close up and Victor third. Victor broke once
on the turn and was two lengths from Franklin at the qhar-
ter. On the backstretch Johnny Goldsmith, who was driv-
ing him tried to get him to the front, but he again broke.
Alfred S. went on around the second turn with Franklin, at
his wheel. They came home this way, Alfred S. finishing
easy a length from Franklin, Victor away back. Time,
-2:21$

Third Heat — No more pools were sold. Alfred S. went off
around the turn in front, Franklin second. At the quarter
the order was Alfred S., Franklin and Victor a length apart.
The positions were unchanged on the backstretch, except
that Victor acted badly and lost two lengths. Around the
second turn Alfred S. led Franklin by a length, Victor clos-
ing his gap. In the straight Victor passed Franklin and
made play for the lead, but he broke in the effort and Alfred
■S. trotted on home at a lively clip two lengths in front of Vic-
tor. Franklin broke several lengths. Time, 2:1S|.

Free-for-all Stallion Trot.

The above event for a purse of §1,000 brought to the post,
Palo AHo'b b h Palo Alto, Pleasanton Stock Farm's blk h
Direct and Orrin Hicknk's b h Bey Kose. Palo Alio was
the same hot favorite that he has been in all his races, selling
against his field at $160 to $20.

First Heat — At the firstjj attempt they got the word but
Palo Alto was not going steadily and broke just as the bell
tapped. Direct went to the front and lead around the turn,
with Bay Kose second. Palo Alto got down and immediately
began to close the gap but he broke again just before they
reached the quarter and Direct passed tho post two lengths
in front of him. Once on his feet again, Palo Alto began to
crawl np and at the half was at Direct's wheel. He stayed
there until they came well into the straight, when he got to
the little black's head and then got a length in front. Direct
was given a tap with the whip and when Palo Alto crossed
the wire in 2:16£, the little black was at his wheel.

Second Heat— A few pools were sold, Palo Alto bringing
$50 to $5 for the field. When the bell sounded, Palo Alto
was in front but going into the turn he broke and Direct
went in three lengths in advance. Palo Alto settled quickly
and closed up the gap rapidly, catching Direct halfway down
the backstretch. The two went together five lengthB ahead
of Bay Rose to the middle of the turn when Palo Alto began
to draw away. The half was trotted in 1:07£ and the quar-
ters in 1:39. Palo Alto was coming fast and would have
done the mile in close to 2:14, but Marvin took him back
and jogged bim in 2:17f, Direct four lengths away, Bay Kose
just iosirle the distance poBt.

Third Heat — The horse was in good condition, with a fast
track before him, and it was determined to send him for a
record in the third heat, and when they came out to score it
was announced that a runner would meet him at the half and
bring him home. They went off, with Palo Alto going
strong. He immediately opened a wide gap, and passed the
quarter in 0:33; he reached the half, going steadily, in 1:05|.
There the runner joined him, and he came past the half in
1:39. Down home he did not alter his speed until past the

distance post, where he tired, and Marvin shook him up and
sent him under the wire in 2:13f, the fastest mile ever trotted
by a Btallion on the coast.

FRIDAY.

Stockton seemed determined to give the people the full
worth of their money, and on Friday they had two days
races in one programme, eight events in all and enough to
thoroughly tire the large crowd. The opening event was

The distance was three-quarterB of a mile, S850 added
money, and the Btarters were Palo Alto's b c Racine, 117,
Palo Alto's ch c Flambeau 117 and A. G. Todd's b f Jessie C.
110. No pools were sold. Jessie C. was first away from the
flag and led Baeine in second place tor the first eighth. Then
Kacine went to the front, followed by Flambeau and the two
left Jessie C. away behind. Coming down the straight Flam-
beau waB rnnuiog at Racine's shoulder and Morton on Ba-
eine began to shake the.'colt up. He responded and went
under the wire half a length to the good of Flambeau, Jessie
C. back near the distance. Time, 1:14|.

Special Pace.

A special pacing race, two in three, for Adonis, Gold Leaf
and Yolo Maid, was one of the things arranged for tbe day,
but Yolo Maid was not right, and only the two Sidneys
started. Adonis was the hottest kind of a favorite in the
pools, and piles of money was ottered on him at odds of $120
to $20.

First Heat — Gold Leaf had a length the best of the start,
and went around the turn that distance in the lead. Going
out of the turn and into the backstretch Adonis broke, and
before he settled Gold Leaf was five lengths from him.
Hickok sent the colt along very fast on the backstretoh, and
at the halt had crawled up a length, and around the second
turn he continued to close the gap, entering the straight not
more than a length to the bad. He steadily gained on the
mare down the straight. Andy made a show at whipping
the mare, but Adonis went by her and finished four lengths
to the good in 2:16.

Second Heal — When they jogged down past the stand the
judges instructed Andy to drive for the race and not monkey
around as it he were driving for fun. A good start was
given tbem, and they went off around the turn with Adonis
in front and Gold Leaf at his wheel. She stayed there until
tbey reached the half, and then Adonis began to draw away,
and came into the straight two lengths to the good, coming
home as he pleased, and winning the heat and race in 2:164.

Gold Leal quit on the straight, and Audy made a great
flourish with his whip, but took the mare back when he saw
that she was beaten.

Special Trot— 2:30 Class.

The above was another made event, having as starters L.
J. Rose's blk m Moro, J. L. McCord's b h Tom Benton, L. J.
Rose Jr.'s b g Richmond, and San Mateo Stock Farm's b m
Nina D. Nina D. was favorite at $50 to $7 for Moro, and $7
for the field.

First Heal — After a long delay at adjusting a 6hoe, they
came to the score and were Bent off to a good start. Nina D.
went into tbe turn in the lead, but Tom Benton passed her,
and at the quarter was a length in front, Nina D. on her
toes. Richmond made a bad break on the turn, and got to
the quarter four lengths to the bad, Moro a length behind
him. Half way down the backstretch Tom Benton broke,
and Nina passed bim at the half; the positions wen .
first by two lengths, Tom Benton second, a lengi
Richmond, and Moro last. Same position* w
the straight; there Nina took a long lead, and j
the wire an easy first. Richmond passed Ton 1 .

distance post, and got second from him by half a length,
Moro fourth. Time, 2:27*.

Second Heat — Tom Benton went off in the lead as before,
and Etayed in front to the quarter, where Nina D. cangtat
and passed him. On the backstretch Nina D. led by two
lengths, Tom Benton second, Moro third. Moro broke
before they reached the half, and was oat of it. At the half
Nina D. was still two lengths in front, Benton second, .Rich-
mond close up to him. When they entered the straight,
Nina D. already had the race won, and the sole fight was
for second place. Tom Benton and Richmond were on even
terms until they got down near the drawgate, when Rich-
mond passed him, and made play for Nina, but the mare
moved on easy, and finished first in 2:26|. Richmond broke
in his efforts to catch her, and galloped under the wire in
second place, Tom Benton six lengths, third, Moro a poor
fourth.

Third Heat— Nina D. was well up at the score, and went
away in front. At the quarter she was four lengths ahead of
the crowd, lead by Moro; she wasnever headed. Richmond
made another of his hard finishes, crowding up closely to
Nioa. Moro made a bad break on the eecond turn, and
Goldsmith took Nina D. back at the finish to allow Moro to
get inside the flig, and when Richmond came up with a rush,
he came near snatching the heat. Time, 2:27|.

SATURDAY.

The closing day of the meeting did not have a very good
programme, but there were Borne rich contests developed,
particularly in the 2:23 class trot. The first event on the
card was the free-for-all stallion race, in which Direct had a
walk-over. Then came the

2:23 Class Pace,

"W. S. Johnson's b g Edwin C, J. L. McCord's blk g Ned
Winslow, and H. J. Agnew's b g Mink were the starters.
Edwin C. did so well at Sacramento that against that class of
horses it was considered a sure thing for him, and the betting
men were eager for tickets on him at $40 aeainst $17 for Ned
"Winslow and §5 for Mink.

First Seat. — Edwin C. was sick and came to the score
coughing and wheezing. He did not seem well, and when
the bell tapped Ned Winslow went away in front, and at the
quarter was a length to the good of Edwin C, he a leDgth
from Mink. Going to the balf they drew away five lengths
from Mink, Edwin C. staying close up to Winslow. They
swung into the turn in this order, and Edwin C. went off bis
feet. That was the last of him. He had to be brought to a
standstill before he could be put to work again, and by that
time Ned "Winslow was in the straight, and pacing at his beBt
speed, trying to shut both Edwin C. and Mink out. iiickok
brought Edwin C. home on a run, but he couldn't get in.
Mink just managed to get inside. Time 2:I7£.

Second Heat. WinBlow tickets were in demand after the
first heat, he bringing four to one against Mink. The start
was a good one, Winslow taking the lead. Mink hung on to
him, staying close up. On the upper turn Winslow made a
short run. He came into the straight in front, but Mink be-
gan to crowd him and he began to run. Every time Mink
came up close to him he went off his feet and finally finished
in a gallop, with Mink at his wheel. The judges [rightfully
gave the heat to Mink. Time 2:22.

Third Heat— Slink had the call in the pool box now and
brought two to one against the black horse. Mink took the
heat. He led from the start, but on the backstretch made a
break which gave Ned Winslow a lead of five lengths. Win-
slow led him into the straight, but when Mink came up to
him he began to run again, and Mink passed him at the
drawgate and took the lead by two lengths. Time, 2:24.

Fourth Heat — Marvin wbb up behind Mink when they
came out for the nest heat, and it looked like a sure thing
for him. The two went around the turn and entered the
backstretch together, but just past the quarter Mink made a
bad break and Winslow went away for a long lead. Mink had
closed but a little of it when they entered the straight. He
came home at a good clip and reached Ned Winslow's wheel
at the distance post, but he waB tired, and although severely
punished, conld not get in front, and Ned WinBlow took the
heat in 2:25f .

Fifth Heat— Slink $30, Winslow $17, were the quotations
in the pool boxes. Winslow moving in front when the bell
tapped, and going around the turn he took lead of two
lengths. On the backsretch he broke once, but lost no thin a.
Mink also went off his feet, and gave Winslow still further °a
lead, and Winslow went on home and took the heat and race,
Mink breaking in an attempt to collar Winslow in the
straight. Time, 2:24£.

2:23 Class Trot.

The next event of the programme was the above, and it was
one of the most exciting and best contested races of the week
There were in it Palo Altos ch f Lorita, H. J. Agnew's b ni
Emma Temple, B. C. Holly's ch m Pink, G. E. Gnome's c h
Alfred G., J. A. Goldsmith's s m Hazel Wilkes, and J. L. Mc-
Cord's s m Mary Lou. Alfred G. was named to win by the
talent, and in the opening pools he sold favorite, bringing
$40, Hazel Wilkes second choice at $32, and the field coiner
at $20. B b

First Heat. It was a scattering start. Alfred G. getting the
best of it and going away in the lead, PiDk following close up
in second place, Hazel Wilkes third and Emma Temple
fourth. The positions of the leaders were unchanged until
they entered the straight, then Pinb lost her feet and Hazel
Wilkes piissed to second place and in that order they finished,
Alfred G. first by two lengths. Emma Temple got fourth
place, Lorira fifth and Mary Lou sixth. Time 2:23}.

Second Heat. Hazel Wilkes was strongly backed before
the second and was made favorite, going at $40 to $35 for
Alfred G. and $20 for the field. Alfred G. went off to the
fore, attended by Lorita, Pink second and Hazel WilkeB
third. They went this way to the half, when Alfred G. and
Lorita, bead and head, lost their feet. Alfred G. caught
quickly but Lorita was not so fortunate. Alfred went awav
from her and when he passed the three-quarter poat Hazel
Wilkes, Pink and Lorita were on even terms two lerj^tbs be-
hind him. Hazel Wilkes was out for the heat and GofdBmith
began to drive her for it. He forced Alfred G. off his feet and
passed him at the drawgate, finishing a length in front of

him, Pink three lengths back third, Lorita fourth, Emma
Temple fifth, Mary Lou sixth. Time 2:20.

Third Heat— Pools sold before the next beat, Hazel Wilkes
$50, Alfred G. $10, field $10. This time Lorita made a show-
ing for herself. Alfred G. got off around the turn in front,
but when he passed the quarter Lorita was at his head, and
half way down the straight Bhe showed in front, Alfred G.
and Emma Temple in second place, Hazsl Wilkes close up to
them.

On the second turn the order was not changed, but in the
straight there was a strong fight for the heat, Hazel Wilkes
and Alfred G. coming up. Hazsl Wilkes was at Loritae
wheel at the distance post, and by the good work of her driv-
er, was landed winner by balf a length, Alfred G. third, Em-
ma Temple fourth, Pink fifth. Time, 2:20*.

Fourth Heat— The next heat brought out a surprise. Al-
fred G. was in front around tne turn, bat Lorita had caught
him at the quarter and passed him in the homestretch. On
the backstretcn and at the half, Lorita led by a length, Hazel
Wilkes second, Alfred third, with EmmaTemDle at the wheel.
The positions were unchanged until they came into the
straight; then both Lorita and Hazel Wilkes broke. Emma
Temple got in front and won the heat, Mary Lou coming up
from behind and finishing second, a head in front of Hazel
Wilkes, Alfred G. fourth, Lorita fifth. Time, 2:22, a record
for the winning mare.

Fifth Htat — Emma Temple again surprised them. She
got off well up in front, Hazel Wilkes pocketed behind, Lori-
ta got in front again at the quarter and led into the second
turn, when she broke and was out of it. Emma Temple took
the lead there and came down the Btraightwith Hazel Wilkes
pushing her hard. The finish was cIobo and hot, Emma
Temple winning by a heat, Mary Lou third, Alfred G. fourth,
Pink fifth. Time, 2.21.

Hazel Wilkes attempted to collar her in the straight, but
broke in the effort, and Alfred G. trotted in head and head
with her in second place. Time, 2:241.

Trotting — Three-year-old District.

In the above event, trotted Thursday, the protest against
J. B., who distanced the crowd, was referred to the referee.
He decided that J. E. was entitled to the first money, and
that Chloe, the only one of the distance horses who trotted a
mile, be given one heat, the distance coltB to test the race for
second, third and fourth money.

The race was called to-day. Chloe sold in the poolB at $40
to $10 on the field, but few pools were sold. Chloe took the
lead, and led to the finish, making the mile in 2:37, Ida
Yernon second, Jennie Wilkes third, Kitlie Vernon last.

No further pools were sold, as it was conceded that the
race belonged to Chloe. The favorite led off in the second
heat, but broke at the first turn, and before she got on her
feet, was so far behind that she conld not Bave her distance,
and was shut off for running. Jennie Wilkes took the heat
in 2:39i.

Ida Vernon won the third heat in 2:38£, Kittie Vernon
won the fourth heat in 2:41^, when the race was postponed
to Monday morning on account of the darkness. Each colt
has one heat, so two more must be trotted at least.

A three-quarter dash between Hins lale Chief and Victor,
local runners, was won by the firBt named, but as his rider
pulled across in front of Victor, and the latter was pulled
back to avoid a collision, the race was given to Victor.

Stamboul was trotted two miles for exhibition. He made
the first mile in 2:1S and the second in 2:17^.

L. J. Eose'B yearling filly Reverie was sent a mile to beat
her record of 2:36i, but Bhe broke, and only made her old
time, 2:36l.

Kitty Vernon took the lead in the first heat Monday, but
broke badly, and Jennie Wilkes won the heat in 2:36. Jennie
Wilkes got sick in the next heat and qnit. Kitty Vernon
took the heat in 2:36, Ida Vernon second, and Wilkes just
saving her distance. She was very Bick and had to be assist-
ed to the stable. The seventh heat uf the race was won by
Kitty Vernon in 2:50, which gave her the race and second
money, Ida Vernon taking third money.

Clydesdales from Australia.

The well known importer John Scott brought on the Ala-
meda, six head of Clydesdales. Mr. Scott is no Btranger here,
having made six trips already. This time he has (at present
in Morsehead's stables) five mares and a stallion. The stal-
lion, Young Topsman is by imp. Topsman, one of the most
successful ClydeB in Australia. His son is a good lookiag
dark bay, six years old. The mares are very good specimens
of their breed, two of them bays are in exceptionally good
condition. One is a four year old, of good hard color with
black legs, a credit to any farm, and should be invaluable to
our breeders: as her breeding is unexceptional, her sire beina
the celebrated "Champion of the North" who was imported
to Australia, and there sold for $6000. A three year old bay
in the next stall is very similar in appearance, and is also
by an imported horse, Blue Etbbon, who was sold for $5000.
The two lightish bays three years old, are not in as good
trim, owing to the fact that they were taken up from grass
immediately before being Bhipped, and of course, fell away a
little on the trip, but a judge of horse flesh cannot avoid
noticing the good points, splendid legs and feet, with an ex-
ceptional amount of bone and fine silky hair, which is char-
acteristic of the breed, growing in profusion from locks to
their heels, and when they get a little more flesh, they will
be very bad to beat for general appearance. The black five
year old mare is also very thin, but shows every indication
of filling out into a grand brood mare. Mr. Scott hopes to
sell his mares shortly, and unlike some others who came here
he does not wish to take the money out of the country but
purposes investing a portion of it in trotting mares, to take
buck wita him to Victoria.

Quincy.

The Eleventh District Fair was held last week, and a iairiv
representative gathering congregated on the race track every
day to witness the Bport, the principal feature of which was
Dennison's run of luck, or, perhaps, I should say it was
good judgement in placing his horses.
Monday.

The weather was very pleasant, not too warm, while the
track was in admirable order. The first race was a trotting
race for the 2:30 class. Owiog to Eabe's performance at
Grass Valley and Chico, there was little or no betting, on the
race. In the first heat, Kabe went away very fast from the
wire, and had a four lengths lead of May Queen, at the quar-
ter with Eogineer three lengths further back. Engineer grad-
ually drew up to May Queen and after a hard drive down
the stretch beat her a length for the place. Babe winning
easily by two lengths. Engineer second. Time, 2:34.

Second Heat — After scoring up several times, May Queen
went off in front, with Rabe second, to the half-mile, when
the horse went past her, and trotting Bquarely, was soon
three lengths in front, and stayed there to the" finish, May
Queen second. Time, 2:30]-.

Third Heat — May Queen went off in front again, and had
a four length's lead at the quarter. Eabe was hitching and
skiving to the half when he started trotting, and was four
lengths in front at the head of the stretch, May Queen driven
ont, passed under the wire three lengths behind him, and
two in front of Engineer. Time, 2:31.

SUMMARY.

The second race was a dash of a mile for district three-
year-olds. Only three came to the post, and after a pretty
race, Eed Eye won by an open length in the slow time of
2:00.

The days sport finished with a half mile and repeat for a
purse of 5200 for district horses: four starters came ont. Mr.
Stephen's Eed Eock won easily in straight heats: Lige Clark
was second in the first heat, and Colman in the second,

Tuesday.

The track was much better attended. Four raceB were
got through during the day. Dan Dennison getting away
with three, the other being a district race of course, he could
not get in. The first race was the 2:30 trotting, for a purse
of $350, with three entries. Eabe won easily in straight heats
Nevada second every time. Time, 2:39; 2-35; 2:37.

The second race was a district three year old trotting race
for a purse of $300: four started. William B. won the first
heat, Little Phil second 3:00. The positions were reversed
in the second. Little Phil taking the first place, and William
B. second. Time, 2:55.

"William took the third and fourth heats in 2:55 and 2:54.

The runners had the track for the rest of the afternoon.
D. Dennison's Dave Dooglas won the mile and repeat in
easy style, while Dennison'B G. "W. beat Applause and
Mollie McShane for the mile and a quarter.

WEDIfESDAY.

The weather was rather too hot to be pleasant, bnt the
crowd turned out in great force, particularly the ladies,
who were a great attraction naturally. The first race was a
district race for two-year-olds, mile heats, two in three, with
a purse of $250. There were three starters. Pool selling
wa3 very light, Samantha bringing S100 to the other pair
S10. In the first heat Samantha, the favorite, was inside the
flag, but was distanced by the judges for running. Bamet
was made a big favorite, bat Thurman teat him out by three
lengths in 3:00. Thnrman came out much fresher for the
third heat, and won handily in 3:05.

The next race was a race for 2:50 horses for a purse of
$250. Three Btarters came out. Nevada won the first heat
by two lengths, Klamath second. Time, 2:42£. But the
judges thinking that Eobert L. was not driven to win took
the driver out and put Dan Dennison in the sulky. The
result was not altered though, for Nevada won the third heat
and race in 2:40.

The six furlong dash for a purse of $250 had three starters,
Dennison's Hotspur winning by a short length from Applause
in 1:17. The mile and a half had only two Btarters, although
$250 waB hung up. Dan Dennison's G. W. won easily, Mc-
Shane finishing second necessarily. Time, 2:48.

The last race of £he day was a mile dash for a purse of
$250, with three starters. Applause and Hotspur were pulled
out again, and Ten-percent started fresh, but could not live
with the other pair, who ran a hard race, Applause being
beaten by a neck by Hotspur, who was ridden from start to
finish by young Dan. Time, 1:46.
Thursday.

The racing was again good. The free-for-all not having
the requisite number of starters, a spscial purse of $600 was
given for four named horses, pacers and trotters. Johnny
Hayward won easily in straight heats, making the best time
of the meeting 2:28£, 2:30 and 2:30l.

The nest race on the programme was a buggy horse race,
owners driving, mile heats, two in three, for a purse of $100.
Captain Jack won easily in 3:08 and 3:08. The third race
was for district yearling trotters, half mile heats, two in
three. Bradford and McClelland's Milford B. won in straight
heats in easy style. Time 1:54 and 1:50£.

The haif mile dash for a purse of $200 brought ont four
s:arters. Painkiller got away in front and won by half a
length from Applause, who came fast at the finish, Hot-
spur third. Time 0:49.

Fkiday.

The last race of the day was very successful; every man,
woman snd child turned out, and the lengthy programme
was got through in good time. The special purse of $150
for three named horses was productive of a good race.
Engineer, who was outclassed by Eabe on the first day, made
a yerv good show, taking the first two heats from Eobert L.
and Klamath in 2.4U and 2:45. In the third heat Eobert L.
came very fast, and made a dead heat in 2:42^ with Engineer,
who won the fourth heat and race, with Eobert L. second.
Time, 2:45.

A pnrse of $250 was hung ud for beaten horses. Four
turned out, and after a pretty race Snuff Box beat Lige Clark
by half a length.

The three furlong dash had six starters. Red Eock, who
had run well before in the meetiDg, won cleverly. All things
considered, the fair was very successful, and it is hoped that
next year a much better interest will be taken in it "by the
outside public, as the association are striving hard to attract
outsiders by offering good horses, and furthermore the
management would be a credit to many larger organizations.

DENVER.

SECOND DAY.

Denver, Sept. 23d. — The first day's weather would have
been acceptable to-day in preference to the cold wind and
drizzling rain with which all those present have had to con-
tend. Betting, however, was qnite lively, and as nearly all
the events were qnite close and interesting and the betters
numerous, scarcely any one experienced the chilly sensation
generally attendant upon the cold-blooded spectators.

Hindoo Rose was a great favorite in the mile dash. King
rode a waiting race, and his mount went to the front easily
when called upon.

Zufolo, the favorite in the Silver Stakes, was beaten by a
nose by Governor Adams, with "Weaver up. This victory of
the Carlile & Shields' colt was quite a surprise to the talent,
and they dumped quite liberally in consequence. Wallie
Weaver is riding very well this season and fast working him-
self into the front raDk among jockeys.

The victory of Hails'ormin the three minn'e trot was rather
uulooked for, the favorite, Beecher, being set back from first
place for running in two heats.

Uncle Jack had a walk-over in the pace, and made very
good time, considering the lack of company.

THIRD DAY.

Denver, Sept. 24th — The feature of to-day's racing was the
two victories of J. 0. C. Thornton's galloper, Red Elm. He
won the three-quarter dash with hardly an effort from a good
field of eight horses. Then, again, the bay gelding came on
the track and won a half mile heat race in the easiest manner
possible.

Carlile and Shitll's chestnut gelding, Justice (Senator Wol-
oott), was a big favorite in the Denver Cup race and he won
it with comparative ease.

The 2:27 trot was quite a surprise to many as Bertie M.
was looked upon as almost a sure winner. Of course, it was
known that Georgie Moshier had considerable speed, but
there were not many that supposed he was in shape for a
good race. This horse has bten handled for some time, bnt
up to last spring had never gone better than 2:30. Wm.
Wilandt, however, got him to take on the Montana circuit,
and he has gone several times since in as good as 2:25.
Moshier won all his heats quite handily and the betting tide
was completely turned in hiB favor.

EXTRA DAY.

Denver, September 25th. — This, the extra day of the

j meeting, was, by far, the best yet, inasmuch as the weather

! was much warmer and the attendance considerably larger

I thaD on any of the preceding days. The talent was much

surprised and quite somewhat loser when B. G. won the mile

dash with ease over the favorites Cocotte end Sympathetic's

Last. Dehvood went to the post at 6 to 5 in tne Overland

Cup, and won handily from Silent King, the favorite, and

Deronda, a Wyoming stallion.

I In the 2:40 trot, Monarch's victory was quite unlooked for,

as he had shown up very poorly this season. The trot was

■ hotly contested in each heat by Monarch and Midget, and a
I large amount of money changed hands on the result.

i J. C C. Thornton's Red Elm is doing splendid work for

■ his owner, and seems able to come out and run his beBt when-
ever called upon. He won two races yesterday, and one of

' them a heat race; to-day he comes out in as good shape,
I apparently, as ever, and wins the five-furlong dash in the

easiest possible manner in the verv good time of 1:02 J. This
I he did without a touch of the whip or spur, and we venture
I to say that had Red Elm a gooi chance on a straight course.

he would go very close to the present nve furlong record.

SUMMARY-.
Rnnnlng-Purse 5200, of which S50 to the second horse; for three-
year olds that h»ve not won during the meeting; horses that have run

FOURTH DAY.

Denver, Sept. 26th. The events to-day were decidedly
the best of tne meeting thus far, and were witnessed by
fully 3,000 people. The most interesting features of the
afternoon were the two trots — th6 2:35 and the free for all.
Iu the latter Wanita 2:20£, four years old, the property of A.
C. Beckwith of Evanston, Wyoming, won easily in straight
heats. In the 2:35 trot Faust, 2:18}, was a great favorite and
Bo'd at nearly 2 to 1 against the field of three horses. This
colt is a three year old and also the property of Mr. Beck-
with. It was evident from the time that the horses scored
for the first heat that it was the intention of the other drivers
to defeat Faust. He was carried to the wire at a terific gait
by Georgie Moshier and Jasper and was trotted around as
far as possible each time. Gypsy Queen, a fast one, was
always trailing and was always saved, being kept to go to the
front when called upon. The gamey little gray was np on
his mettle and full of go, hence was easily jockeyed. Gypsy
Queen won the first heat after about ten soorching hot break-
aways. Faust went in and won the two succeeding heats in
2:22$ and 2:22J — the faBtes* heats of the race. The next
heats were won by Gypsy Queen, the combined work of the
three being too much for the gray colt, who died very game,
nevertheless. In the second heat Moshier fouled Gypsy
Queen, and although the mare got tbe Hag in her face, the
judges allowed her inside and she started in tbe next heat.
Notning however, was done with Moshier or his driver for
fouliog her. Here Mr. Beckwitn's ire was aroused, and he
censured the judges in the stand, using very forcible language.
J. Bryan, Faust's driver, also talked pretty hard to the jndges.
In this, though, both made mistakes. For although Mr.
Beckwith may have had just canst- in feeling angered he
should most certainly have thought twice before uttering the
remarks he did to the judges. His anger evidently got the
better of him to an alarming degree, or we wool 1 not now
have to chronicle the fact that one of the most enterprising
and progressive of "Western breeders has been expelled from
association tracks. At a meeting of the judges, held this
evening, it was decided that Mr. Beckwith should stand ex-
pelled, and that J. Bryan, his driver, should be fined $100
and stand suspended nntil paid up. Under this decision Mr.
Beckwith cannot start in Beveral races which be had entered
in on Eastern tracks, chief among which was the three year
old stakes race at St. Louis next month, in which Faust was
probably to meet Axtell and numerous other good ones.

SUMMARIES-
Running— Parse $350, of which $75 to second; for all ages. A winner
of aoy race to the. value of SGOGor more last season tocairy Ave pounds
extra: horses not having won a race last year to the value of $200,
allowed five pounds; non-winners in 1888 allowed ten pounds; mai-
dens, three years old, allowed fifteen; if four, allowed twenty, and if
five or over, allowed twenty-five pounds. One mile and a sixteenth.

FIFTH DAY.

Fairer weather could not have been wished than that which
greeted the race-goers this afternoon, though not bo interest-
ing as yesterday, the events were all UDiformly good. Ke-
oeiver surprised everybody by winning the selling race, the
favorites beiDg Doubt and Greener. Four heats of the 2:45
trot wera had, and were very hotly contested between Hail-
storm and Georgie H., these two having two heats each at the
close of the afternoon. The Stamboul filly, Murtha. had a
walkover in the two-year-old stakes, and simply jogged the
course.

SIXTH DAT.

This was the last day of the annual fall meeting of the
Overland Park Club, and it has. proved one of the most soc-
cesBfal meetings ever held in the Rocky Mountain region*
The attendance to-day was the largest of the week, and all the
events of more than nsnal interest. The only things to
mar the pleasant remembrances which are associated with
the week, are the expulsion of the well-known breeder, A. C.
Beckwith, and the suspension for two years of "Pap" or
"Kid" Smith, one of the oldest pilots on tbe western turf.
Mr. Smith was suspended for attempted fraud in tbe 2:45 trot
yeBterday. He is the owner of Stella Magnet and others.

Running— Purse $250, of which f60 to second and 525 to third for
hor es that have started and not won at this meeting. Six furlongs.

WEDNESDAY.

There was a marked improvement in tbe attendance at the
track, a brilliant day and three good trotting races attracting
the public ;The first race was a free for all, mile heats, three
in five, with four eDtrieB. The San Simeon money made
Lena H. favorite over Fred Arnold, who won the first beat in
a Jog, Arnold's driver never making a move. The third beat
was hotly contested all throngb, Allen L. winnirjg and getting
tbe heat despite Albright's bourgeois claim of a foul; tbe
fourth and fifth heats were close races to the head of the
stretch, when Arnold drew away, winning easily.

The State Fair at Salem, was the moit successf ul ever held
in the Northwest, and all who attended speak ot the manage-
ment in tbe highest terms. The following fall account of
tbe speed contests is taken from the Rural Spirit:

FIEST RACE.

The initial was a breeders' stake for two-year-old runners,
with Raindrop, Roebucken and Daily Oregonian as starters.
They were placed as we name them. Raindrop and Roebuck-
en sold *b stable for $40, the other $20. The youngsters
made a pretty race. Raindrop led all the way, but she never
won it until she pa^Bed the wire, Daily Oregonian being last,
but only two lengths from the winner. Time, 1:20*.

Mutuals paid $7.50.

SECOND RACE.

Jno. G. Wright took Van B. De Lashuiutt's place as a
judge, and the horses were called out. You people who think
the first day doe3 not amount to anything can now take a
back seat, for it is seldom man's fortune to see a better race
than was to be trotted. And when you see that the first and
Becond horses were four and five years old respectively, and
eligible to the 3:00 class, then can you understand what a
game race it was. Hannibal Jr., May F, Delia A., Stem-
winder and Lady Beach were the starters, and they were ar-
ranged in posiiion as we name them. In the pools Stem
winder brought $40, Lady Beach $15, field $10.

First Heat— Lady Beach was the only steady one this heBt,
the iest skipping and ranuine and skiving a good deal. May
F. ran from start to finish, and was second to Lady Beach,
who won hindily, bat was distanced for her foolishness.
Delia beat Stemwinder a neck for third, HaDnibal jast inside.
Time, 0:39, 1:17, 1:55, 2:32.

M. H. Mann, driver of May F., was ruled off the track for
using improper language to the jadges.

Mutualspaid $12 85.

Second Heat— Stemwinder $40, Lady $25, field $8. A fine
contest between Stemwinder and Beach. The mare lad till
the half, where Stemwinder p Lssed Delia and hurried after
the Lady. They trotted like a team to within 100 feet of the
wire, where the mare went up and allowed the gelding to
win by a length, Delia three lengths behind, Hannibal dis-
tanced. Time, 0:38, 1:15, 1 :53L, 2:30. Mutuals paid $9.

Third Heat — The jadges announced that G. O. Bailey,
owner of Trademark, a nominee for this race, wns fined $20
for not having his horse on the track or officially withdraw-
ing him. Stemwinder was an easy Bale at $40, field $10.
GoiDg around the first turn, Beach and Stemwinder collided,
and a spoke flew out of Stemwinder's wheel. They all trotted
nicely together to the half, where Stemwinder broke and lost,
and Beacb broke and gained. Beach won by five lengths
from Stemwinder, Delia jast inside. Tbe judges made it a
dead heat between the two first, and thereby created a tech-
nical point. Lady Beach finished in 2:29, but the judges
announced Stemwinder's time. Time, 0:38, 1:15, 1:52, 2:29£.

The mutuals, owing to tbe dead beat, went to the winner
of next heat.

Fourth Heat— Stemwinder still sold for $40, field $35.
Wnat a heat! Beach played it alone to heid of stretch,
where the geldiog came up, ani, trotting like a hero, carried
the Lady off her feet fifty feet from the wire, and won by a
head, Delia behind the flag. Time, 0:36£, 1:12$ 1:50, 2:25J.

Mutuals, on third and fourth heats, paid $10 each.

Fifth Heat— Pools: Stemwinder $40, Beach S15. A very
unpleasant thing happened this heat. The driver of Stem-
winder thought tbe starter recalled them when be gave tbe
word to go, and pulled to a walk at tbe first turn. "Woode
went to tbe eigbtb and came near stopping, but went on
again. Stemwinder was a long way behind, and bad to do
some good trottiDg to save his distance, but be got there.
We think this woull have been a very fast heat h.*d it not
been for tbe error. Time, 0:39, 1:15, 1:54, 2:32.

Mutuals paid $16.15.

Sixth Heat — Stemwinder was still the favorite at $40 to $20,
bot the talent were doomed to lose. On the first turn Stem-
winder made a fatal break, and was virtually never in the
race from there out, although he trotted nicely to the bead
of the stretch, where he broke again and gave np. Beach
won handily by ten lengths. Time, 0:3S, 1:15, 1:54, 2:33.

Mutualspaid $19.75.

SECOND DAY.

The weather was all that could be asked, and the track
was in excellent condition. The attendance at the track
fully reached 3,000. The judges were Van B. DeLashmutt,
J. Q. Wilson and D. H. Looney, and J. B. Keeney took Mr.
DeLasbmutt's place as judge in the trot. The timers were
J. L. Hallett and T. H. Tongue, and Wm. Gilloway started
the gallopers.

FIRST RACE.

The opener was a run, 1 1-10 miles, with as fine a field of
ThoToughbreds as ever started in Oregon. The bettiDg was
ra her slow, Jack Brady bringine $40, Coloma §40, Jubilee
$30, Moses B. and Lady Daffy So each. Mosea B. had the
inside, then Brady, Lady Duffy, Ooloma, Jubilee. To a
start that ujuldnotbe beaten Jubilee ran past tbe stand first,
Brady at her head. A blanket could C3ver them all to the
head of the homestretch, where Jubilee and Coloma came
away from the rest. They had a fine struggle to within fifty
feet of the wire, where Coloma seemed to have a neck like a
telescope, and using it at the proper time, won by an "eye-
brow." Brady was rhird two lengths away, and Moses and
Duffy followed with abort t tbe same space between them.
Thev ran from wire to wire in 1:444 .and the distance in
1 :5U.

SECOND RACE.

Now came a trot for the 2:40 claes, and the talent had an-
other blow. Stemwinder, Ooquetta, Lady Beach snd Gloster
were the stariers, and they drew positions as we name them.
In the pools Stemwinder and Lady Beach, notwithstanding
their hard race the day before, were favorites at $40 each,
the others So each. The race was never very exciting, for
Lady Beach had it pretty near all her own way.

First Heat-- Gloster waB the only one that could make it
interesting for Lady Beach, and he was beaten by two
lengths. Coquet ta was a bad third, and Stemwinder had a
great struggle to beat the flag. Time, 0:37£, 1:141, 1:50 J,
2:27.

Mutuals paid $14 25.

Second Heat — PooIb; Beacb $40, Gloster $15, field, $12.
A procession. Beach led all the way around and won as she
liked , although Cjquetta trotted like the wind down tbe
stretch. Gloster was two lengths behind her, Stemwinder
not doing anything. Time, 0:38, 1:15, 1:52, 2:29.

Mutuals paid $8.50.

Third Heat — Beach was dollars to marbles, and there was
no other horse in the race after she got started. Coqnetta
was a good second, and Gloster a bid fourth. Time, 0:36
1:14, 1:51}, 2:27*.

THIRD RACE.

About this race the least said the better. Sir Ladd and
Jack Pot were matched to run -§■ mile, and Sir Ladd won it.
Tbe jadge3 had an idea that Jack Pot was not ridden to win,
and declared all bets off.

THIRD DAY.

The weather was so smoky that it was impossible to dia"
tingaish the horses when far away from the wire, although
the posts could be seen. About 6,000 people were in the
stand and adjacent places, and were well paid for attending.

The judges for the day were George Chandler, D. S. K.
Boick and William Galloway, and D. A. Looney started the
ruaners. Frank C. Baker, T. H. Tongue and J. L. Hallett
held the watches.

FIRST RACE.

There was a great field for the initial, consisting of Koly
Boly. Jubilee, Billow, Sleepy Dick, Tom D^ly. Humboldt Jr.
Jou Jou and Kitty Van. They were placed as named above.

In the pools Jubilee brought ?40 a^ainBt about $10 each
for the rest. The horses could not be distinguished as they
went away from the post, but as they came In sigh* it was
seen that Kitty Van had the race well in hind, and she won
hahdily from Roly Boly by two lengths, she one length ahead
of Jou Jou, the rest in a bunch, except Jubilee, who was left
at the post. Time :26, 51, 1:16. Mutuals paid $70.40.

FOURTH DAY.

The weather was warm and smoky, so that it was impossi-
ble to distinguish the horses on the backstretch, and "there-
fore oar readers will sorely excase us for not giving as accu-
rate au account of the races as we would had it been a clear
day. Such a crowd was never before seen at the track, there
being fully 10.000 people there. Judges — J. B. Keeney, D.
H. Looney and Hon. Geo. Chandler. 'Win. Galloway started
the runners, and S. G. Reed, T. H. Tongae and Major J. L.
Hallett were the official timers.

FIRST RACE.

The first for to-day was a run, 1£ miles, with four starters
as follows: Coloma, Little Phil, Jubilee and Jack Brady.
In the betting Coloma had the call at $40, Jubilee 130,
Brady $15, Phil §6. Jubilee led from the start, and was
never headed, winning in a big canter from Coloma by three
lengths, be one ahead of Brady, Phil four behind him. Time,
0:26,0:52^. 1:18, 2:10*.

A protest was entered by Coloma's owner on the grounds
that Jubilee had no right to start. The directors took the
matter under consideration, but decided to award the horses
positions as shown by the following

SECOND RACE.

Now comes a handicap of five-eighths of a mile, and such
kicking we never heard. The judges thought that Sun-
day was not going to run to win, and they took down Hazlett
and put np McCaugh; he was over weight, and they took
him down and put up Bally. And what a kick there was in
doing all this! Bat to the race. Lancer, Kitty Van, Sunday,
Oregon Eclipse, Sleepy Dick, Laura D. and Roly Boly went
to the post in the order named. In the pools Kitty brought
$15, Sunday $10 Dick §5, Rolv Boly $5, fitld_ $5. They
were an hour starting, and was tapped oif with Jjancer look-
ing the wrong way. A greater finish between two horses
was never see i than between Van and Sunday. They were
like a team a'l the way, and Van only got the decision by a
nose. The rest was strung out at intervals of a length except
Lancer who walked in 100 yards away. The time, 1:01, is
only two seconds behind the records.

Mutnals paid $14.60.

THIRL RACE.

Now came the trot for the 2:30 class, with six contestants:
Coquetta, Gloster, Almonette, Leona, Altena, Alta. They
were given positions as we enumerate them. In the pools
Alta brought $25, Altena $15, Almonette $8, field $8. The
smoke was so thick that the horses could not be distinguished
on the backstretch.

First Ileal — Leona went out of sight in the lead, and when
they were distinguished again it wa* seen that Gloster was a
winner, although Almonette pressed him pretty hard, loping
by half a length. Alta was a length behind one half sister
and a length ahead of another, with stillanother a length be-
hind her and a length ahead of a cousin. Time by quarters,
0:37|, 1:13, 1;49J. 2;26.
Mntuals paid $73.60.

Second Heat Pools, field $28, Altena $12, Alta $11, Al-
monette $9 Alta led at the start. When they came in view
again Gloster and Altena were at it in earnest, and Gloster,
breaking at the wire, allowed Altena to win by a nose. Leona
wtn distanced. Time :37£, 1:14}, 1:50, 2:26£. Mutuals paid
$25.

Third Heat Pools. Altena $40, Alta and Almonette $5
each. Gloster and Altena went away like a team, but at the
head of the stretch Gloster had them all beaten by two
length", Altena second, Alta a length behind her and a
lemgth ahead of Almonette, Coquetta a bad fifth. Altena was
set back to fourth place for running. Time :38, 1:14, 1:50,
2:27. Mutuals paid $24.15.

Fourth, Heat. Pools, field $22, Altena $7, Alta $2. They
got a good start and there was never any daylight between
them. They had a fine finish, fr-r surely a blanket would
have covered them all. Gloster beat Almouta a nose for first,
Altena and Alta three feet away from her. Time :3S, 1:15,
1:51, 2:28}. Mutuals paid $7 40.

FIFTH DAY.

Fully 7,000 people assembled to see the sport, and they
were amply repaid, as there were two records lowered, viz.,
best trottine record iD Oregon and best three-year-old trotting
record for Orego-'. Toe judges in the run were Wm. Gal-
loway, Van B. LVLashrmUt and J. Q. "Wilson, and J. B,
Keeney started them.

S. G. Reed, T. H. Tongue and J. L. Hallett were the
timers. In the trotting races, Geo. Chandler, Wm. Galloway
and J. Q. Wilson officiated as judges.

FIRST RACE.

The Oregon Derby, a race that should be a good one, was
called, and two starters came out. They were Farewell and
Pat Onrran. The latter was favorite at $10 to $6. Fare-
well drew the pole, and led all the way around to within 100
yards of the wire, where Pat got his head and passed Fare-
well like he was standing still, and won by three lengths in a
canter. Time by quarters, 0:28, 0:55*. 1:23}, 1:53, 2:224,
2:49. Mutuals paid $8.65.

SECOND RACE.

Now came the free for-all trot, and was worth going across
the continent to see. Palatina lowered the Oregon record in
the lasi heat, and the four heats were the fastest ever tiotted
in the North Pacific. Edwin C, Fantasia, Little Joe, Palatina
and Col. Bradshaw were allotted poe.itions as we name them.
Pools: Bradshaw $20, Palatina $15, field $10.

First Heat— "Edwin C. was never headed, and won by four
lengths in a jog. The rest, especially Palatina, acted badly,
and did not trot mnch for the beat. Bradshaw was two
lengths behind the leader, and there was about that much
space between tbem all. Fractional time, 0:35, 1:12, l:4S£,
2:24£. Mutuals paid $22.50.

Second Heat— Pools: field $20. Bradshaw $15, Pala-
tina $10. A great race between Edwin C, Palatina and
Bradshaw. Little Joe led to the quarter, here Edwin
passed him. Palatina and Bradshaw then came up,
and it was a great sight to see them cme from their home.
Palatina was the best, and although making a break, won by
a nose from Bradshaw, Edwin C. a neck behind him. The
other two were away back. Time, 0:36, 1:13, 1:484, 2:23J.

Mutuals paid $24 70.

Third Heat— Pools— Palatina $30, Bradshaw $16, Field
$7- Palntina made her usual break on the first turn, but
caught nicely, and there was no other horse in the race from
there out, Bhe leading all the way and winning easily by
three lengths. Joe had a fine finish with Bradshaw for sec-
ond, and succeeded in beating him a head. Faniasie finished
fourth, but waB put last for running. Time, 0:39, 1:13, 1:49,
2:24 J.

MutnalB paid $12 45.

Fourth Heat— Pools— Palatina $20, Bradshaw $5, Field $3.
For the first time in history Palatina failed to make ner los-
ing break on the first tarn, and seeing this, her opponents in
the betting began to tesr up their tickets. And they were
right. Nothing ever came near her, and she won by two
lengths from Edwin C, Bradshaw, third, Little Joe list. Fan-
tasie was again set back for running. Time, 0:361, 1;12*
1:47}, 2:22i.

Mutuals paid $9.

THIRD RACE.

Now came a race that pleased everybody. It was between
the regarded horses of Oregon 3-year-olds, Blondie and Altao.
Never before have we seen such enthusiasm over a race be-
tween two horse?, and no wonder! Blondie trots a third
heat after two hards ones in 2:27i. and Altao on his shoulder!
Why, it was enough to make a rheumatic man of 80 feel like
a joyloving urchin of 10. To those of oar readeas who have
never seen these superb colts we would say that Blondie is
one of those pretty chestnuts — not large, nor yet small.
He is very steady and quick, and his gait reminds one of the
patter of rain. The oontrast is great between the two. Altao
is the larger, is a beautiful bay, and one of those strong-going
horses that when nnder good headway looks like the earth
had lost its power of attraction and suspended him in midair
to paw into space. Bnt to the race: Altao, by virtue of i rot -
trotting in 2:31 during the week, was favorite at $20 to $12,
First Heat.— Blondie drew the pole and they went away
like a team to the quarter, where they both went up. They
settled nicely and Blondie took the lead and went to the half
with it. Here Altao came up and passed him and led all the
of ihe way winning by three lengths. Time, 0:38, 1:16,1:534,
2:31

Second Heat— Pools: Altao bought for $20 Blondie $5.
Altao led to the quarter by half a length, and to the half
by a length, bat soon broke and swerved, and to use Lewis'
words Blond. e took advantage of it and took the pole, and
trottiog very nicely, won by four lengths, Altao not acting
very well on the stretch. Time, 0:39, 1:154, 154, 2:29f.

Third Heat—Vools: Blondie now Bold for $20, Altao $15.
Now came the rub! Blondie had a length the best of it at the
quarter, and maintained it to the half. Now if ever two men
men in a hurry it was Lewis and Mann. There was only a
half length between them, Blondie bavin?, the percentage.
Alao seemed to be struggling gamely for the advantage, and
Blondie was straggling jast as hard to hold the persimmons,
and he held it, winning a race that every state cannot beat
by a short half length. Time, 0:37, 1:14}, 1:52J, 2:27£.

SIXTH DAY.

In the morning a light shower fell, but was only sufficient
to lay the dust, and did not hart the track. In the afternoon
light showers fell at Intervals, but only served to make it a
little disagreeable. About 7:000 people assembled to see the
races, and were well repaid. The judges in the runs were
Wm. Galloway, D. 8. K Baick, and H. Looney, and in tbe
trot J. Q- Wilson took Mr. Galloway's place. The timers
were J. L. Hallett and. Joseph Baker.

TIRST RACE.

A handicap of one mile was called first; the eight horses
responded: Leor* D , Lady DuO'y. Jon Jou. Roly Boly,
Jack Brady, Coloma, Little Phil, Tom Daly. "We name them
as they drew positions. Pools; Stable (Coloma and Laura

D.) $40, Brady $30, Daly, Roly Boly, Jon Jou and field $12
each. Phil got the best of the start and led to the quarter,
Coloma trailing. At this point Brady and Jou Jou moved
up, and then at the half there was no daylight between them
all. Here Culomo was seen to be running by them one by
one, and he won by half a length from Daly, Brady half a
length behind him, the rest nil in a bnnoh and close up.
Time, 0:26. 0:51. 1:16*. 1:43.

FOURTH RACE.

After the north bound train had left we understand there
was a | mile and repeat between Oregon Eclipse, Pappoose
and King, resulting in a victory for Eclipse in straight heats,

Pappoose second. The best time was :35V

"Won by an American Colt.

A gratifying Hem of racing news from the other side of the
water is that which records the victory of Kaifeoura, a colt by
the American sire WallenBtein, in tbe High Weight Handi-
cap, run at the reoent meeting at Brighton in Sussex. Wal-
lenstein was one of the horses sent over by Pierre Lorillard
during the era notable in England for the victories of Foshall
and Iroquois. He failed to make any great mark on the
English turf, althoogh he ran some good races, and was
relegated to tbe stud aboot six years ago. Breeders, however,
fought sby of the American, and hitherto be has eojoyed bnt
scant patronage at the hands of the owners of fashionably-
bred mares. His first stock, too. were smull and unpromis-
ing, and in the season of 1887, the only two that were trained
— fillies out of Eirene and HomeBpun — failed to earn winniDg
brackets. Kaikouri is said to be a grand looking animal, and
his Brighton victory under a heavy impost, in which he beat,
among other high-class animals, the flying Gervas, by that
successfol sire Trappist, by Hermit, is likely to create quite
a demand among breeders for Wallenstein's services. The
colt was bred at the Hermitage, Epsom, by Mr. Qnarter-
maine East, ex-Sheriff of London, who has, during the past
ten years or so, been one of the m isl successful breeders, in
a small way, of thoroughbred stock on the other side of the
water.

thev strode along the homestretch, the race was between
Chayncllor and Graham, each recemog the lash in hard
style. Chancellor won the heat from Graham in 2 3ol,
Thornhill and Stranger taking third and fourth place, about
twenty vardB in the rear. _ ,

The sale of pools on the race was at an end now, and only
a few private bets were made at a ratio of five to one in
favor of Chancellor. — . .

Third Heat— After a number of scoreB they got off at the
tap of the bell. Graham lost his feet before the turn to the
quarter where he fell into third place, with Chancellor lead-
ing and Stranger second. These positions were unchanged
until near the half. Stranger broke twice and fell far behind
with Thornhill, with ChauceUor far in the lead, and Graham
second. The half was made in 1:15|. Just beyond the half
Chancellor fell behind Graham a half dozen hsngths on
account of a break. At the three-quarters, where Chancellor,
Thornhill and Stranger were bunched, the latter started on
an uncontrollable dead run. Comiog in on the homestretch
the race was an exciliug one. Graham came in under the
string in 2:361, taking the heat from Chancellor, Thornhill
coming in third and Stranger getting in on a gallop.

Fourth Heal— A good start was made for the fourth heat
after scoring four times. Graham and Stranger both broke
after leaving the stand, and when the quarter was reached
Chancellor led with a large gap between the followers,
Thornhill being in the rear. From the quarter to the half
Chancellor led, making it in 1:18}. At the three quarters it
was close between the latter and Graham, Stranger having
advanced to third place. Before entering the stretch Chan-
cellor and Stranger broke, but were soon brought under con-
trol. All along the stretch the trot was a lively one. As the
flyers approached the wire Stranger was applaudod for his
position of a neck in the lead of Chancellor. As the two shot
under the line, Stranger was declared the winner in 2:38}.
When the announcement was made declaring Stranger the
winner of the heat, W. Donathan, the driver of Alex. Gra-
ham complaioed to the judges that Barstow was driving
Stranger to a cart and not a sulky. The judges declined to
altar the decision on the grounds that the cart was heavier
than a Bulky, and if anything worked a disadvantage to the
owner. The rules were soanned, and it was found that "to
harnesB" meant a sulky. The decision was unchanged,
although Barstow was ordered to drive in a sulky. His rea-
son for not doing so on the start was that the horse was 0 n-
used to a Bulky.

Fifth Heat— Billy Thornhill was withdrawn by James
Boyd, his owner, on account of lameness in the right for-
ward ankle. Some delay was occasioned by a Ioobo shoe on
Stranger's foot, which was fixed on the track. They started
nicely after scoring the second time. They were close to-
gether at the quarter and up to the half, which was made in
1:17 i. Here Stranger was being forced to overtake and pass
the others, but failed, the horse breaking badly. Chancellor
led to the three-quarters, with Stranger at his wheel and
Graham several lengths behind. Stranger bioKe again and
fell to the rear. The three held these positions to the end.
Chancellor taking the heat in 2:37 from Graham, aDd win-
ning first money, the second going to Graham and the third
to Stranger.

TUESDAY.

There was the same handful of people which was in atten-
dance upon the opening day. Of the three events on the
card but two of them started. J. K. having a walkover for
the three-year-old district stake, as none of the other owners
cared about going against the fleet colt. The day a racing
was begun with the

5 2:20 Clais Trot.

Pleasanton Stock Farm's blk h Direct, J. W. Donathan 's
blk g Franklin, O. A. Hickok'B b h Bay Rose and B. C. Hol-
ly's ohm Pink were the starters. Direct was expected to
win in straight heats and in the pools he was a hot favorite,
aoiog at $100 to $24 for Franklin and $14 for Bay Rose.

First Heal— At the second attempt they got a good start,
FraDklin taking the bad. When they straightened out on
the turn Franklin was a length in front. Direct in second
place Bay Rose a length from him and Pink two lengths
back These positions were held until they entered the sec-
ond turn, then Direct began to move up, getting hrst to
Franklin's wheel and then collaring him as they swung into
the straight. Down home Direct and Franklin trotted head
and head almost to the drawgate, and then Direct drew
away and won by two lengths. Franklin Becond, Bay Rose
three lensths third, Pink well inside the distance post fourth.
Time 2-21 1.

Second Heal—K few pools were sold at $25 lor Direct and
$15 for the field. Four attempts, and then they got the
word to a good start. Direct went around the first turn with
Franklin at his wheel, Bay Rose a length behind him and
Pink back three lengths. Thev passed the quarter in this
order, Pink off her feet. Down the backstretch the positions
were not changed, bot in the second turn Direot drew away
to a length lead and Bay Rose closed up to Franklin's wheel.
They entered the straight in these positions. Bay Rose got
to Franklin's head and both of them tried to collar the lead-
er. Andy Bhook the little black up and drew away from
them slowly. Franklin lost his feet at the distance poBt and
Bay Rose carried Direct out, finishing two lengthB behind
him, Franklin third and Pink a poor fourth. Time, 2:20}.
TAird Heal— There was absolutely no money to go against
Direot after the second heat, and the race was conceded to
him already. By Holly driving Pink delayed the start for
some time, but La Rue" who had the bell, finally sent them
off with Pink behind. Direct was in front when they got in-
to the first turn, Bay Rose attending him, Franklin a length
from Bay Rose. Direct opened the gap in the backstretch
and at the half was two lengths in front, Franklin head and
head with Bay Rose. On the second turn Franklin took sec-
ond place and entered the straight a length behind Direct.
Bay Rose began to close up again on the Btraight and there
was a sharp battle for second place and secoDd money. Di-
rect won by two lengths. Bay Rose crowded np to Franklin
and by a burst of reserve speed beat Franklin out for second
place by a head. Time, 2:19.

Trotting — Two-year-olds.
The above was the next event of the day and bad three
starters, L, J. Rose's b f Mista, G. Valensin's b f Fleet and
San Mateo Stock Farm's b o Regal Wilkes. There wbb not
much betting on the event, Regal Wilkes bringing $40, Fleet
$30 and Mista $10.

First Heat — After a lot of scoring they were given the bell
with Mista going unsteadily and just after the bell tapped
she broke, but foBt nothing. Fleet was also going on her
toes and as they entered the turn she also went up. When
they reached the middle of the turn, Regal Wilkes was in
front with Mista at his wheel and Fleet eight lengths away.
There was never any material change. Mista hung on to
Regal WilkeB' wheel all the way to the drawgate and then
Wilkes drew away from her and won as he chose by two
lengths. Time, 2:26.

Second Heal— Regal Wilkes sold against the field at $50 to
$10. There was a lot of scoring done and then the word was
given to a good start, Fleet having the best of it. She went
away very fast and took the pole on the turn, Regal Wilkes
in second place with Mista following him. Regal Wilkes
closed up to Fleet very fast and when tbey got well into the
backstretch he passed her, the filly going off her feet. The
three were strung out by two lengths opart until they reached
the half and there Regal Wilkes lost his feet. Fleet went up
also tut caught quickly and went into the turn in the lead,
Mista a length behind her and Regal Wilkes five lengths
away. Mista paBsed to the lead on the turn and entered the
straight in front, but Regal Wilkes was coming at a 20 gait,
and caught her half way down the straight, passing her
and winning the poet by two lengths, Mista breaking badly
when the colt headed her. Fleet was away back in third
place. Time, 2:28.

SUMMARY.

one-sided order, the favorites selling high and running well.
The tirBt thing on the card was

Sunning, One Mile. All Ages.
Matt Storn's ch f Glen Ellen. 109, and Ben Hill's ch g
Mikado, 120, started. Pools sold, Mikado $25, field, $17. A
good start was given them and Glen Ellen went off in the
lead at a fast clip, evidently out to kill Mikado with the
heavy weight up. She led him down the backstretch by
three lengths, but on the second turn Appleby shook Mikado
up and brought him up to the filly and they entered the
straight together. The race was already Mikado's. He passed
the filly at the f post, and came home an easy winner by two
lengths, Glen Ellen getting the whip badly at the finish.

The above event was the next thing on the card and had
in it J. B. Chase's oh f Marigold 110, Palo Alto's be Bico
121 and B. P. Hill's b c King David 113. Rico was as usual
favorite at odds of $50 to $26 for the whole field. The start
consumed several minutes and then the flag dropped with
Rico two lengths behind, but when Marigold and David
reached the half-mile post he was head and hea 1 with them
and opened a gap of three lengths on the turn, Marigold in
second place and King David .two lengihs from her. Rico
came home under a pull. Marigold was severely punished
in the Btraight but she was not able to reach the !colt and he

The next event brought but two starters to the post, W.
L. Applebv'a b f Alfarata 119, and J. C. Simpson's bf Joe
Viva 114.' Pools sold, Alfarata $25, Joe Viva $10. The
race was the first surprise of the day as the talent regarded
Alfarata as a sure winner and put their money upon her
freely. They went off to a head and head start and stayed
right together, both under a strong pull until they got to the
middle of the second turn when Joe Viva got the whip and
showed in front, coming into the straight two lengths to the
good. At the seven-eighths post Hitchcock called on Alfara-
ta, but the mare could not repond. They came down to the
wire very tired and both under a drive, Joe Viva taking the
race by two lengths. Time, 2;03.

The day closed with the above event, in which Bruce
Cockrelfs b m DaiBy D., 114, Matt Storn's ch g Kildare, 117,
and Chas. Bambrick's 99 Stonemao, 117, started. Pool6 sell-
ing, Daisy D., $40, field $10. There was a delay of 20 min-
utes at the post, and then the flag went down and left Stone-
man at the post. Daisy D. jumped off in the lead, but half
way around the turn Kildare caught her, and they came into
the straight together. Daisy D. shoved her head in front at
the drawgate. Kildare was heavily punished, but Daisy fin-
ished a head first under a pull, HenneBsey timing the finish
nicely and getting the mare in with just as little work as
possible for her. Time, 0:504. Stoneman's rider made a
strong protest and tried to have the heat declared off, but
after hearing all the evidence in the case, DaiBy D. was given
the heat, Kildare the place, and Stoneman was declared dis-
tanced.

A few pools were sold after the heat, Daisy gomg at $5n
againBt $6 for Kildare. The start was another bungle, Daisy
getting off five lengths in front, but Hennessey very kindly
drew the mare up until Kildare got to her flank, and then
set har to Going again. She came home as in the former heat,
with the oolt at her flank under the whip, and won that way
in 0:54|.

Stoneman seems to be running in hard luok this year.

Betting has been very light at the meeting. All the ready
money which the boys had at the beginning of the circuit,
seems to have gone into the boxe^ already, and the betting
which is done now is for bread and butter money, and the
boys are very careful how they lay it.

A handsomer lot of draft horses are not found every day
than have been seen here this year.

Superintendent Boyd who has charge of the show stock de-
partment has the finest looking lot of c Its and hllies that
I have seen in some time. They are all by Beverly WilkeB,
the horse which Mr. Boyd brought out from Kentucky last
year, and these are the first of his get seen in California,
out of thirty mBres served laBt season twenty-eight foals were
dropped and lived. Of the dozen whioh have been on exhi-
bition here I shall spea& more at length later on.

UKIAH.

San Joe Gossip.

"While the Palo Alto runners were being loaded in the cars
at Stockton for transportation here, the two-year-old colt
Flambeau backed off the chute and fell. There was a lot of
loose sand at the side of the track which saved the horse seri-
ous injury. Speaking of Flambeau reminds me that a good
many people considers him a better colt than the unbeaten
Racine the pride of Palo Alto. It has been Palo Alto's policy to
ran first always with Bacine, but I believe Flambeau can give
him a beating at any time. WheD Racine won the three-
quarter dash at Stockton the other day in 1:144 Flambeau
as usuul nnisbd at his neck, bat I noticed Morton on Raoine
looking back at the Chestnut's white face very anxiously at
the finish and he rustled the Bishop colt pretty lively to
g-t him nnder the wire first. Flambeau wasn't even stretched
out. Another good one in the Palo Alto string is the filly Mats,
I saw her working alongside Peel on the San Jose trace and
she carried him around the turn and to the half at the pace
which took all the energy Peel had in him to stay near her,
she hasn't started this fall, and she will be a rattling good
one when she does.

The San Jose track is nothing to be proud of in its present
condition. It is very hard and to a certain extent dangerous
for the runners. Matt Stores filly Lurline went lame tn her
first morning's work and had to be scratched in all her en-
gagements for the week.

Daisy D. struck herself in her race at Sacramento and has
had a bad swelling in her off fore ankle, bat she was quoted
a big favorite in her first race. She U a good mare to go any
distance from a mile down on any kind of track and any day
in the week Brace Crockrell tells me that he has a fine look-
youngster in her colt by Ironclad.

Regal Wilkes trotted a good race for a two-year-old Tues-
day. The first heat in 2:26 was not lead, but I am Batisued
that had he not lost his feet in the second heat he would
have come home in 2:21.

Lorenu, Cap. Harris* two-year-old filly did not go in the
district race Tuesday. She is coughing badly, and Harris
feared for a time that he might lose her, Bhe is on the up
though now and will likely pull out.

La Siesta Bench's mare Wanda went wrong after her race
at Sacramento and will not be trotted again soon. Epizootic
sent ber on' in the summer and she is troubled by a weakness
in her compling which will not allow her to be worked.

Almont Patchen, the pacer ia slowly recoving from his in-
jury .received from a fall in a car while being transported from
Oakland to Napa. This week he is being marked out in
2:20 and 2:22.

Scott Qainton concluded at the last moment not to take
his string to Fresno and the entire lot is here. He had St.
Patrick entered at Fresno with almost a certainty of win-
ning, but the distance was too great to take him for one race
and run all the risks oi travel.

H. M. LaRue has come down for the week and will poll
the bell in the judges' stand, I like him that position. He
generally gels the events off in good time and drivers have
learned that he is not the man to countenance any "monkey"
business.

San Jose has made the mistake of a good many other as-
sociations in putting its grand Btand with its front toward the
afternoon sun, making it a very uncomfortable place. The
judges' Btand is similarly placed and the reperter's box is
blazing hot. Otherwise the grounds are admirable and could
be made beatiful.

Capt. Ben Harris is the inventor of another sobeme for
starting horses, and it was used for the first time on the San
Jose track Wednesday. Its first appearance was not a flat-
tering one, judging from the starts, but it might amouut to
something after the jockeys get on to the method of the
thing. It consists of a red flag on a staff. A cord runs from
the staff to the starter. He is equipped with a huge breast-
plate in the shape of a gong. "When the hordes are in
position the gong sounds, the string is pulled, and down
comes the flag in front of them. The principal difficulties
lie in the facts, that it must be transported to and set up at
the different points of the track as the distances in the races
■re ohanged, and that each new starter will require a day or
two for praotice before he can use it.

The Seventh Aunual Fair of the Twelfth Agricultural As-
sociation, composed of Lake and Mendocino Counties, began
hereto-day. The beautiful little town of TJkiah is simply
overrun, and each train brings new delegations. Accommo-
dations are hard to find, and the private houses have nearly
all been tilled up. The weather id warm, but pleasant. Lake
and this county divide the honor of holdir g the fair altern-
ately each year, and Mendocino is most liberally patronized
this year by its sister county.

The officers of the association are: President, L. F. Long;
Secretary, S. H. Rice; and tha Directors — Me6sr.*. JohuNew-
hinney, O. V. P. Day, J. S. Reed, J. M. Marrnon, L. G. Sim-
mons, Maurice Keatinge and J. F. Burner. J. M. Standley,
the Sheriff of the county, and widely known as the oapturer
of stage robbers, is a most efficient and painstaking superin-
tendent of the track. The cattle and horse exhibit is most
creditable and the best ever seen here. The Pavilion is situ-
ated in the center of the town, and is well filled, and the
exhibits speak volumes for the enterprise of the citizens after
their severe losses by the recent great fire here, that nearly
destroyed the town.

The track, a half mile one, is very fair, although the turns
are most too sharp and not thrown up enough. It is the
intention of the association to next year build a fine mile
track and new grand and judges' stands, and enlarge the
number of stalls.

The races to-day were brought to an early close, owing to
the Anteeo 2-year-old filly distancing the field in the first
heat, and the failure to fill of another one of the races adver-
tised.

The first race of the meeting was for a special purse of $75
fur saddle horses, and brought out a field of four, in which
Last Chance was a decided favorite in the pool box at $10,
Fox bringing $5 and Wild Rock and Roan Frank as a field
for $5. After a few trials, they got away well with the excep
tion of Wild Rock, which bolted and was left at the post.
Before the quarter was reached Fox had outrun the other
two and led into the stretch by two lengths. He increased
this to the wire and won as he pleased by six lengths. Time,
0:53}.

The next and last race of the day was for a purse find stake
of $14» for district two-year-olds, in which Lady Armington,
in lively pool selling, brought $'20 against $9 for Tommy C.
and $4 for Advocatrix. The odds on the mare were fully
justified as the other two were greatly outclassed, and she
took the lead immediately on the tap of the bell, and began
putting daylight between herself and them at a great rate.
She had them both badly distanced in the first half mile, and
kept coming on until the wire was reached in 3:08$, and the
others only at the three quarter pole. The winner is a very
handsome brown filly by Anteeo, dam by Abbottsford, and is
the property of R. J. Hudson, a Superior Judge of Lake
Coanty.

SUMMARIES.

It was a dash of half a mile for a Btake and purse of $160.
The starters were well known fast short horses, belonging
here. "Dick Turpin" sold for $10, against $9 for *'Joe
Hooker" and "Ace Full."

The race was a surprise to the ''talent" for Ace Full won
handily by a length' from Turpin. The latters defeat was
loudly attributed, by his backers and friends, to the incom-
petency of the starter, who kept them at the post for over
an hour. The time :52 was very fair over snob a track, and
shows that they are indeed fast horses for a half mile.

The last race of the day was a special trot— 3 in 5 for Dis-
trict Stallions, for a stake and purse of $160. After two
heatB the judges, not the lateness of the hour, caused the
race to be postponed until to-morrow at nine o'clock. Sam
Tilden won the second heat handily, as he would the first,
had not his driver pulled him up at the end of the firat half-
mile, not knowing it was twice around for a mile.

If he had Victors speed, with the driver and sulky he had
to-day, the pair would surely create more of a sensation on
the grand circuit than did "Hayseed" last year. Harry
Whippleton won the tirsf heat. Mendocino Chief was dis-
tanced in the first heat by a quarter of a mile, but the judges
came very near allowing him to start again on account of bis
trace ojming loose in the first quarter of a mile. His driver
came on with it this way, and when he did reach the wire the
horse had palled all his harness of but the bridle and saddle.
The driver said he did not think he would be allowed to pull
up until after he had completed, and persisted in his right to
start again.

The time of the two miles trotted was 3:04£, 3:03j.

That is a good idea of the directors in covering the road io
the track with straw. It effectually keeps the dust down
which would be almost impossible to do by sprinkling.

A great many complaints are, and will be. made during the
week on accoont of the announcements from the judges'
stand being made in such a low tone of voice that none in
the grandstand can hear.

Daly, the rider of Last Chance, to-day said the track was
full of small stones and lots of them. He ought to know, for
he was behind all the way.

In both Lake and Mendocino Counties, comprising the
Twelfth District, horse love runs in the "shorthorse" groove.
Very few trotters are raised or trained here, but they well
represent themselves at the track with 600 yard and half mile
horses.

Wednesday October 2nd.
The second day of the Ukiah meeting was much better at-
tended than the first. The grand stand which will seat about
300, had a crowd of nearly 350 in it and was an uncomforta-
ble jam. Numerous carriages with families lined the fences
of the stretch on both sides. The races were very fair and
many'.pools were sold on the results Directors SimmonB
Keating and JViannon tilled the stanr1; Director Simmons
acted as Btarter for the running races, and demonstrated the
fact that he knows nothing of the rules and is unsuiied for
the position in every particular.

President Long relieved him in the trotting race, and by se-
veral rulings plainly showed that he knowB Iobb of the duties
of the position and less about the rules then bii colleague
Simmons. After the first heat when the drivers had weighed,
President Long noticed that the trotters had gone to their
stalls to be cooled out. He at onoe called the marshal (Sheriff
Stanley) and told him to order the horses baok on the track
immediately. He then (ten minutes after the heat) gave them
a long lecture, telling them that they ought to be heavily
fined for breaking the National Association rules, in taking
their horses out of sight of the judges during a race, and
then ordered them to score at once for the next heat. Both
drivers demurred, but under penalty of a heavy tine scored,
and were tapped off in fifteen minutes after the termination
of the previous heat. Immediately on the rendoring of his
decision of the second heat, and wnile it was still sun light,
with plenty of time for two more heats to be trotted, he an-
nounced the postponement of the race until to-morrow, at 9
o'clock. When aiked by the Breeder and Sportsman's rep-
resentative why he did so, he sail that as each horse had
won a heat there wonld be two more to trot. He did not
think it could be finished to-night. None of the other judges
or directors are able to assist in the deliberation, further than
to do their beat by a constant peruBal of the rnleB, after the
decision dob been given.

In the first heat to-day a , running dash and repeat for a
stake and purse of $160, Twilight sold in the pool box for
more than both the others and justified the odds by winning
the first, laying up the second, and winning the race in the
third heat. Time, 0:38i, 0:40, 0:39$.

The second race excited great interest and as much
enthusiam probably as a race would in San Francisco, be-
tween El Bio Rey, Reclare and Gregory. Although numbers
of pools were sold $10 was the highest price paid for choice.

A beautiful day and a good track. The Fair grounds are
filled with horses from all parts of the coanty, and the exhi.
bition of fruits and agricultural products will be better this
year than ever witnessed here. There was a good crowd at
the races, and the prospects are that this will be the most
successful Fair we have had. The speed programme wbb
opened by a half mile and repeat. In the pools, Comet sold
for $10 and the field for $4. Comet won the first heat e bUv.
Time :50^, Lncy S second, Ella Hill third and Lone Star
fourth. The second heat was won by Comet, Ella Hill sec-
ond, Lone Star third and Luoy S fourth.

The second race was a sweepstake for two and three year
odl colts sired by Dan Rice. Entrance fee $15 each. J. D.
Doty adds $50 and the Association adds $50.

Pools sold on this race, Bullett $4, Lulu M $3, Flora $3.
The first heat was an easy victory for Bullet, Flora second.
Pools then sold, Bullet $5, field $3. In the second heat
Flora had a new driver and Flora won easily. Bullet broke
and never settled down to work. He was twice distanced.
Mr. Stewart came to the judges and complained of Flora's
driver. He said that his loud yelling had rattled his colt,
and even if he had a chance to start again that he would win
easily. Hisobj ctions were overraled.

The third race was the three minute class, in which were
entered good horses. In the pools Rucker sold for $10, Sax-
ton $7, Bed Wilkes $5 and Delta $2. The first heat was
closely contested from start to finish, Rucker leading by half
a length, Wilkes running all the way. They went to the
first quarter in :42, Saxton leading, to the half in 1:22.
Around the turn Bncker came up, and the race home was
very close, Bucker winning by a short length. Time 2:45.
The second heat was very closely contested from wire to
wire. They went to the quarter in :41, half in 1:23, three
quarter? in 2:02, home in 2:47, Rucker winniqg by a neck
from Saxton, Delta third.

The third heat was fought from wire to wire by Saxton and
Bucker, Saxton winning by a length. Pools sold after the
third heat, Saxton $5, field $3. Bncker was quite lame and
it waB only hia pluck that made him win. He won the last
heat after a most desperate fight on the homestretch, and
won from Saxton only by a nose.

This ended the day's sport, and all came away fully satis-
fied that the best horse had won in every race.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphippus.
SUMMARY.

The exhibition given by the Olympio Clab at the Grand
Opeia House last Sunday evening was a big BncceBs. Some
doubts exist as to whether the Olympio grounds will be ready
or not by ThankBeiving Day. It is to be hoped that the
athletes will not be disappointed a second time. The oars-
men are all bosy getting into fix for the coming races, and the
wheelmen are hardening their leg3 for the tournament which
begins in the pavilion October 21.

Buxners, Walkers. Jumpers, etc.
John Purcell may compe e in the pole vault and shot-put-
ting events at the O. C. games. He will not have time to
train for any of the other events.

A local evening paper recently made the assertion lhat
Parcell was the 6rst person to introduce cross-country runs
on the Pacific Coast. We beg to differ wiih our esteemed
contemporary on this point, and will say that cross-country
runs were first held in this city uDder the auspices of the
Albion Athletic Club three or four years ago.

One of the clubs should offer a trophy for a seven-mile
walk. If handicapped properly, a race between Jarvis and
Gafney would be worth witnessing.

Nearly every athlete in town was at the Olympic exhibi-
tion.

The boys were highly pleased at the large attendance, and
anticipate a glorious future for out-door sports on the Pacific
Coast.

A. A. Jordan, of the New York A. C, has challenged Mal-
com W. Ford, of the Staten Island A. C, holder of the indi-
vidual general athletic championship, to contend at all-round
athletics for a $500 prize, the money for which Jordan has
placed on deposit as an evidence of sincerity. Jordan bars
the run from the list of events to be contested, for the reason
lhat, in his opinion, it gives a sprinter the advantage. For
this reason Ford declines the challenge, holding that Jordan's
objeotion thereto is unreasonable.

Several Scottish athletes will meet athletes of any other
country at Paris, France, October 17, IS, or any other day
during that mouth in a series of athletic games, for the
ohampionship of the world and gold vases and cash to the
amount of 800 guineas.

James Albert, the celebrated long distance walker, distin-
quished himself at Atlantic City, September 8th, by leaping
into the angry snrf and rescuing from drowning an aged Jady
who had been knocked off the board walk at Juckbon's bath-
ing establishment. Albert was loudly applauded for his
brave act.

During the present year at least a half a dozen sprinters
throughout the United States were credited with having run
a hundred yards under ten seconds. We think a good ten
second man could give any of them five yard's start and a
beating.

The special features of the annual fall games of the Man-
hattan Athletic Club, held on SaturJay, September 21, were
the two-mile steeplechase and the ten-mile run, both for the
championship of America, and the interest felt by amateur
athletes and their supporters in the result of those events
did much to draw to the grounds on Eighth Avenne a good
sized assemblage. Ths weather was not highly favorable,
lor although they were spared the threatening rain, a high,
cold wind Bwept across the grounds. The entries for ine
various events were quite numerous, and excellent sport was
had, with the two special events being won by A. B. George
and Sydney Thomas, both British bred and reared athletes.
Aside from these events, perhaps the most exciting contest
waB the furlong hurdle race, in which Copland and Schewgler
again met. The former was scratch man, but was penalised
six feet for false starts, and the Staten Islander, who was on
the one-yard mark, managed to win by sis inches, in the fast
time of 26s. The runners, however, were favored by the
stiff wind blowing toward the finish of the sprints. Sum-
mary :

One hundred and fifty yards run— Final heat: J. K. Mc-
Mullen, B. A. C, 12 yds. Btart, first, in 15s; Gsorge Schweg-
l«r, Staten Island A. C, 61 yds., second, by 6 ft.; J. P. Lee

combined proved more than "Tommy1 could overcome.

as all the other starters except those named had dropoed oat*.

was completely ran oat at the close.

exhibition, but, owiu^ to the cold wind, he could not get
higher than 10 feet.

UNEQUALLED HAMMER THROWING.

The Warren Athletic club, of Willmmgton. Del., held their
most successful field meeting on Sept. 21st. The feature was
the one hand throw of a 16 lb. hammer, from a 7 ft circle, at
which game W. L. Coudon of the New York A. C. sent the
missle a distance of 120 ft 5£ in, being the best on record.

THE WHEELMAN.

Sanford Plummer is training hard and will enter some
of the amateur races at the Pavilion. His best distance is
ten miles.

We hope to see the smiling face of H. A. Matthews at the
tournament. He Bhonld stand a good chance of winning the
long distance race.

From all acoounts Tom Rose will reach Chicago inside of
the limited time. He is getting along nicely and is warmly
recceived wherever he stops along the road.

The professional riders Knapp and Morgan, and their team
of lady riders, practice daily at the Haight street grounds.
They will all be in good trim for the coming tournament, and
one or two records may be lowered.

The track in the Pavilion will be built at once so that the
riders may have a chance to practice in-doors previous to the
opening of the tournament.

Valuable prizes will be given for the amateur events.

IN THE SURF.

The swimming races of the Terrace Club will be held early
next month.

Greenbaum, Spiller and Dall are doing splendid praotice
work and all three men will surely capture priees at the
tournament.

The Lurline Club will not hold its Bwimming tournament
this year.

The Terrace Club should include a fetching contest on their
programme.

The managers of the Shelter Cove Baths will build a new
diving tower next year. It will be seveuty-five feet high,
with spring boards at intervals of ten feet.

The Terrace Baths were crowded on Sunday last and sev-
eral well known swimmers were noticed in the water.

Another accident happened at the Crystal Baths last week,
and still the proprietors have made no effort to hang op not-
ices cautioning the bathers not to dive in shallow water.

Pinckham has been defeated twice by Sundstrom, and
in a few weeks the New Yorker will again strive to down
the Pacifio Coast champion at hie favorite distance, one hun-
dred yards. Although the Extern swimmer failed to down
Pinckham at tbia distance, slill a good many are inclined to
believe that when they meet again at Fresno, if the race is
not already fixed, Sundstrom will win.
clue jottings.

The P. C. A. A. A. should inflict a heavy fine on any
clnb whose delegate fails to attend its meetings regularly.
The associate clubs will then take the pains to see that men
chosen as delegates are competent toofficiate.

Since the Pacific Athletic club moved to its new quarters
several new names have been added to its membership roll

The new grounds of the Olymnio Athletic Clnb are not
ready by Thanksgiving Day the games will probably be held
at Mechanics Pavilion.

The Harbor View training grounds at present contain
several dime museums. The proprietors have themselves to
blame for not coming to terniB with the directors of the C. A.

Despite the rnmorB to the contary the Pacific Athletic Club
will no donbt be admitted to membership in the P. C. A. A.
A. The youngclab means well and Bbuuld be encouraged]

THE OLYMPIC EXHIBITION.

The Grand Optra Hou-e on Saturday night la*, was
orowded from oohestra to the super-gallery by an audience
which may fanly be said to have heen representative of all
that is choicest in several circles of San Francisco. Lpading
ladies m society were present in nnmbera. The clnbs cf the
city sent large delegations. Professed admirers of athletics
by hundreds held favorable Beats, and what space remained
waa olosely tilled by those to whom a thoroughly, good and

unexceptionable exhibition by the club is always a drawing
card. The entresol was bedded in elegant flower pieces,
fresh from the deft hand of Mr. A. H. Lean Some of the
pieces were very large and exquisite in design, notably those
presented by the Olympic Club to Mr. John E.Dempsey, Mr.
George La Blanche, Mr. Jimmie Carroll, Mr. John Donald-
son, Mr. Mike Lucie and that king of boxers, Mr. J. J. Coi-
bett. "

The California and the Golden Gate Athlstic Clubs kindly
permitted their brilliant instructors in sparring to appear,
and the former engaged the lower proscenium box, in which
Bat several of the noted men who have piloted the club
throngb many embarrassments to its present enviable posi-
tion as the first organization of tLe kind in the world, among
them being President L. R. Fulda, Director Edward Fay,
Director W. R. Vice and Referee Hiram B. Cook. The Board
of Directors of the Olympic Club, is entitled to any degree of
praise for the excellence of the programme, the smoothness
with which number followed number, and the magnificent
success of the exhibition. The show was perfect. Every
participant was on hand, and full of vim. The net receipts
exceeded $1,400, which will be used in improving the out-
door grounds recently secured by the club. The entertain-
ment was begun by Vice-President R. P. Hammond Jr.,
with a neatly phrased little speech in which the reasons for
the exhibition were stated. In closing his talk, Mr. Ham-
mond presented to the vast audience, Mr. William Greer
Harrison, President of the Olympic Club, who has just re-
turned after three months stay abroad. The roar of applaose
which greeted Mr. Harr son bespoke more eloquently than
words could, the esteem in which that splendid officer, in-
dispensable man, and invaluable member of the Olympic
Club is held. Mr. Harrison resumed the reins on Monday
last, Mr. Hammond acting as conductor of the exhibition.

The opening tab eau was indeed a pretty Bight and reflect*
ed great credit on the club. The pedestal dub swinging was
perfect, and MeBsrs. Vaughan, McGiU and Smyth well earned
the applause bestowei upon them. The sparring by the ju-
venile clasa was clever, one little chap giving promise of being
another Corbett. The horizontal bar act by Prince John
Hammersmith, leader of the club, assisted by Ben Bogner,
was excellent. Mr. Hammersmith did not seem to have lost
any of his old time grace, agility, and daring, and maintained
his prestige as the fimst gymnast in America. Mr. Bogner
makes an excellent clown and his very clever feats on the
bur showed him to be an expert at the business. The spar-
ring by professionals was interesting, and the champions,
especially Mr. "Jack" Dcmpsey, fell in for plenty of ap-
plause, and a few of thtm were almost smothered in flowers
presented by admirers.

The dueling scene was realistic, in fact painfully so to
Professor Henri Ansot. Professor Tronchet displayed great
skill in his art, and had the duel continued much longer
PiofesBor Ansctmigbt have received a bad wound; as it wsb
his forearm was badly cut.

The wand exercise by the juvenile class waa quite a novel-
ty, and the youngsters were loudly applauded for the good
time which they kept.

It: the wrestling bouts some of the contestants showed
great knowledge of the science, and their excellent work ex*
acted much interest. The pyramids by the juveniles were
loudly applauded. The dissolving tableaux greatly interest-
ed the audience, and Professors Corbett and Donaldson re-
ceived quite an ovation for their clever work.

Comparisons need not be mado where all parts of tbe show
were so fine, and it must suffice to present a summary.

AT THE OAES.

The professional crews are training hard for the coming
championship race.

Several amateur crews took a spin on the Bay on Sunday
last. The crack crew for the Ariel Club, in obarge of 1. 1.
Larkey, showed up in good shape.

^_The man with the one lap start won the race at Lake Mer-
ritt on Sunday last. The prize was $50. The men will
arrange another match raoe, when the winner will receive
ooly half a round of the lake start. The stakes will probably
be increased.

Although the majority of the sporting men are inclined to
risk their money on the South End Crew, still some of the
knowing ones cling to the idea that the Ariel men will win
the championship honors.

The championship four-oared badge race will be decided
over the Alameda course ou the first Sunday in November.
Four crews will compete, the Ariel, South End, Dolphin and
a crew composed of two men from each of the Stockton clubs.
The race will be for the championship of the Pacific Coast, a
purse of $500 and a challenge cup valued at $1000.

It is now claimed that O'Connor sold his race with Searle
We are sorrv for those who believe this to be the case. "We
think the Canadian is of too manly a spirit to do any such
dirty work, and all sensible men will uphold that the Aus-
tralian won solely on his merits.

Edward J. Carney, the crack single sculler of the Institute
Boat Club, of Newark. N. J., has been ordered to appear be-
fore the Executive Committee of the National Association, of
Amateur Oarsmen, to show cause why he should not be dis-
qualified for participating in the regatta of the New England
Association held at Boston on Labor Day. The cause of the
trouble is that J. J. Murphy, who had been disqualified by
the association for being a professional, rowed in the race.

Edward Haolaa is ready to make a match to meet Neil
Matterson, George Bubear or Wallace Boss in England, pro-
vided any two of them will guarantee him a race for $500 a
side each, and allow reasonable expenses.

State Sportsman's Association.

The annual convention of the California State Sportsman's
Association will be held at San Jose, commencing October
9th and continuing for four days. This meeting promises
to be the most interesting of any yet held, and ooght to re-
Bult in great benefit to the game and fish interests of the
State. It is through this association, that all of the game and
tiBh protective laws now on onr Btatute books have been
passed, and it is to this association that we must look not
only for the protection of game and rish, but for the protec-
tion of forests from the devastating fires now so prevalent.

Sportsmen (not market and pot hnnters) are lovers of na-
ture and fond of the pleasures ihe forests afford. But aside
from this, they know that in order to protect the game and
fish, they most proteet the forest— the habitation of the
game. They know that if the shade that aligns the moun-
tain stream is destroyed, that the trout oannot live in the
heated waterB. They know that if the mountains are de-
nuded, they would search in vain for deer. They therefore
beoome doubly interested in the preservation and extension
of the forest trees of the 8tate, and, no doubt, at the coming
session of the Legislature, they will take some steps toward
placing the care of the forests of the State in hands that will
do something toward its protection. If they do, good results
can be expected, instead of the do-nothing policy at present
pursued. — H, T. Payne in Los Angeles Tribune.

To the Top of Mt. Whitney.

[By 0. E. Sherman.]

V.

From ancient landmarks the Enthusiast was led to recall
to the band, the name and memory of the late Judge Deer-
iug. One of the most impartial judges who ever graced the
bench of California, none abler than be ever presided over a
District Court in this State. Bakersfield will ever be indebted
to him for having the County Seat within its limits. A dis-
cussion re-opened the County Seat fight, and the last battle
is here given at more length.

May 26, 1875, suit was commenced by Wigginton & Marks
as attorneys for F. W. Goodale, Havilah member of the
Board of Supervisors, against Solomon Jewett and John Nar-

boe, Supervisors, D. A. Sinclair, Treasurer, and the contrac-
tors, to prevent the erection of the Court House, and Judge
Reel granted a preliminary injunction. H. E. Houghton was
employed by the County to defend the action. The case was
removed to Merced Cou Dty and the matter again came before
Judge Deering. It was argued by Mr. Houghton and by
Messrs. Wigginton & Marks, and in Jaly 1875, Judge Deer-
ing made an order dissolving the injunction. A demurrer to
the complaint was then interposed, and it was sustained by
Judge Deering and judgment entered in favor of the defend-
ants. The judgment and order dissolving the injunction
were acquiesced in by everyone, and no appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court. The contractors who had suspended
work during the pendenoy of the injunction, then went on
and completed the Court House.

By a chance, Time slept, and at 11 a. m., July 31st, with
a temperature of 90 degrees and an elevation of 3,500 feet
above the sea, the Pilgrims escaped from Havilah, following
the gently descending canyon of Copperas Creek to its end,
and then climbing by a winding mountain road through a
saddle, in itself high, yet dwarfed by the giant mountains
ou either flank. At the summit UDfolds the View Beautiful.
Far away, yet directly beneath, is a tiny spot of green, set in
the varied browns of arid plains, and surrounded ou all sides
by the purple to black tints of towering mountains. And
away off, at almost the farthest sight, as if fastening this
beautiful medallion to something yei unseen, with a shining
silver thread, is given the first glimpse of glorious Kern
River. And where the silvery waters faded out of sight, up
and up, one above another, towered the peaks of a mountain
chain, toward Mt. Whitney, which crowns them all. To
rapidly descend into the valley of the Hot Springs; to halt,
rest and lunch beBide one of the tiny mountain streams, all
of which pay tribute to their Cresar, the river of Kern, was a
duty, a delight, and a substantial comfort to the Pilgrim
band.

In 1354, gold was first discovered in Kern County, by a
party of emigrants who camped in a gulch on Greenhorn
Mountains— across Kern River from the Hot Spring Valley.
In April, 1854, Captain Maltby, with a party composed of
Messrs. La wson, Brown and Way discovered a quartz mine,
naming it the Mammoth. Maltby erected a mill and worked
the mine very BUccesBfully for two years. The river bars
were also extensively worked about this almanac time. Just
across the rher from this valley, in a cove nestling at the
foot of the Greenhorn Mountains in '55 Richard Keys and
Jonathan Crandall discovered the Keys mine, and shortly af-
terward the rapidly growing mining camp was christened
Keysville, by Abiah T. Lightner in honorof thiB mine, which
was the richest of tbe group. Captain Blackburn opened the
first store in 1855, followed in '56 by Marsh & Kennedy, and
afterward by many others. In '68 Keysville had seven quartz
mills, about 400 inhabitants and was a base of supplies for at
least a thousand miners in that and adjacent districts. Those
were the days of long haired men, flour Back patches upon
the region devoted to breeoh-clouts, gold dust in careless
generosity, and unlimited monte. The camp was always
self-supporting; the Keys mine used to yield an abundance
of quartz paying $300 in gold to the ton; no oatside capital
was investe i there, ani the group of mine3 must haviyielded
at least $2,000,000 in gold. Now, like the real wedding,
when a golden one is being celebrated, it is only a memory.

A downright good entenainmeut was once offered tbere.
There was a case in court, and the juBtice then presiding is
living in Bakersfield to this day. An attorney applied for a
change of venue, nlleging tnat he could not get and did not
expect justice in that Court. After a few words from the at-
torney to the Court, the justice remarked, "I will now ad-
journ court for five minutes until I can whip the ras-
cal.'* Court adjourned, the Justice kept his word like a
man, the attorney got his deserts, and tbe case went to trial
upon its merits, witnont change of venue.

In those days the Springs were a noted bathing resort and
in the valley many an exciting horse race was lost and won.
After the earthqnake of 1873, that one which was so deadly
and destructive in Inyo County, the temperature of the wa-
ter was materially increased. Before that time one could
comfortably bathe right in the sort of tank which bad been
worked out around the spring, but afterward tbe waters
would have parboiled any one who dared to venture in.
Since then and until the present time the temperature is
slowly diminishing, but has not in these many years fallen
back to the point from which it jumped in a single night.

The Hot Springs Valley was once the bed of Kern River,
and will some day be one of the great reservoirs necessary
for the wants of irrigation. Its soil is naturally fertile, and
whenever baptized by water, smiles back with luxuriant veg-
etation. In places, there is an alkaline crust, and a wire
grass that attracts the educated donkey from all the points
of the compass. It is the Jack's paradise. They are always
in the valley, and when there is no other liviog thing to be
seen, there they are reveling in contentment. Equua Asinus;
pride of ancestry? Aye! even upon such as he, Christ rode
into Jerusalem. Hope of posterity? Ever. Thoroughbred?
Jacob could not have changed his markings, with all tbe
ring-streaked ante-natal wands in Latan's fields. His dainty
hoof, always surefooted, often fatal, never requiring any of
man's mechanisms, cannily courses over valley sands, moun-
tain pebbles, and foothill second growth, with never a
change in its aristocratic firmness and instep. As his re-
mote ancestry munched the byways and alleys of uneatable
things, even so he of to-day. A township line, or a rise in
stocks, a chest protector oi a bride's first loaf of bread, all
are eaten alike and with equal gusto, straight or in the soup
of decay, by this remarkable historic survival-. And at the
end, this wide eyed son of antiquity, gently folds his ears,
and betakes himself to Borne undiscovered Mount Nebb, and
no man knoweth of his sepulture to this day. Bat one dead
jack was ever seen of man, and he was unexpectedly drowned,
very much to his surprise, and quite against his will.

The late mountain fires in San Mateo County have driven
the deer, quail and rabbits to this side of the mountains,
and hunters have secured good bags.

The Belmont marshes have been so orowded with hunters
of late that it was considered dangerous to hnut in some
places.

Louis Werder killed twelve teal and one mallard on Sunday
near Belmont.

It ia reported by Menlo hunters that wild ducks are becom-
ing quite plentifal in the neighborhood of Ravenwood.

R*il are more plentiful in the vicinity of West Point, near
Flood's lake, than in any other section around the bay.

Fifteen deer have been killed on the stage mad on the
mountain buck of Redwood City since the fires.

Fishermen report fish very scarce in the PeBcadero and
Butano creeks. Local hunters are not killing any game for
the market this season, coneeauenlly quail and rabbilB are
plentiful.

Ducks are plentiful on the bay shore of the marshes, but

very few are found in the creeks near the town.

While the stage was coming from Pescadero to San Mateo

last week the passengers saw seven deer trotting along the
road ahead.

E.L. Fisher, of Redwood City was out hunting yesterday
and returned with a good bag of quail. He went up to the
foot of the lire near WeBt Union.

The county of San Mateo, owing to its proximity to the
metropolis, is frequented by more lovers of nature aDd true
sportsmen, than any other county in California. Its creeks
which empty into the ocean, and its lakes and reservoirs
afford delightful spert for the disciples of Izaak Walton, and
its grand bills, woods and canyonB, as well as the sloughs
and marshes on the bay side, are frequented by local and
metropolitan nimrode, who nearly always find good shnot-
ing, varying according to the season. Deer are found on the
hills and in the canyons, quail are plentiful, dove Bhooting
usually good, duok, rail, curlew, plover and snipe abound in
the marshes — and taken all in all, considering how easy of
access tbe shooting grounds are from the center of popula-
tion, among sportsmen San Mateo county is tbe most popu-
lar section in the State. Railroad travel is cheap, the coun-
ty roads are the beat in the State, hotel and stable accomo-
dations in the towns and villages are ample, stages connect
daily with the railroad, the scenery is grand, and the climate
is delightful. In fact, there is everything there to invite the
citizen of the metropolis who is wearied from work.

ROD.

Encouraging •

Deputy Fish Commissioner F. P. Callundan, of San Fran-
cisco, returned on September 30th, from the Klamath river,
where he was directed by Fish Commissioner Routier to Btop
the destruction of salmon at the Klamath River Improve-
ment and Milling Company, as requested by the Governor
of Oregon . He reported that the wholesale killing of fish had
been stopped, and that he had arrested seven fisher-
men at the dam on the charge of catching salmon out uf
season. Though the fisherman admitted having violated the
law, the jury that tried them could not corue to an agreement.
The next day after Mr. Callundan reached the dam the ow-
ners inserted a fishway, as ordered by the Fi-h Commie-
sioner. No t.ouble at this placd is expected hereafter.

Special Deputy Fish Commissioners J. M. Sullivan and
Ned Riley have returned from the headwaters of the Sacra-
mento river, where they were enforced the law passed by the
last Legislature prohibiting the dumping of sawdust into tbe
river or streams. _ They arrested William Sulleway & Son,
mill owners, at Sissoas, and Nelson Aodersoa, the owner of a
large mill at Sweet BnaT. In the Justice's court they plead-
ed guilty and each wab fined $50, and promised in the future
to impounnd the sawdust.

Deputy Fish Commissioners Sanders of Susanville and
Smith of Placerville reported that the mill owners in their
counties have complied with the law.

The Largest Tro at in the World-

The combined arts of pis culture |and acclimatization have
completely upset all the old-fashioned ideas as to where to go
for sport, and also as to size and habits of even the most
familiar kind of fish, says Forest and Stream. If any of the
most noted American anglers were asked to say, at a word,
where the biggest trout in the world are to be caught, they
would probably be puzzled for an answer, and the chances
are a hundred to one that they would give a wrong one.
Those who have the "inBido notion," however, would have
not a moment's hesitation in replying, "New Z-aland, for a
thousand dollars." There are several rivers in New Zealand
— mostly in the Middle Island — where for some reason not
clearly ascertained the trout grow much more rapidly and to
a larger size than elsewhere. One of these is the Cpihi, in
South Canterbury, on which is j-ituated the picturesque vil-
lage of Temuka. I have myself seen an honest brown front
there weighiug 28 pounds, and a firmer or better fish I never
saw. I have known 40 pounds of trout killed in the Opihi
with one rod in a single evening, and not a long evening
either, for darkness falls very suddenly in those latitudes. In
tbe same river fish weighing 30 pounds have been taken and
eaten and found delicious.

I happen to know the country about there well, and I at-
tribute the great size and good quality of the trout in the Opi-
hi, to the fact that the river, which rises in the snowy moun-
tains, does not flow into tbe sea at all, but into a large, deep
lagoon, many miles long, which only breaka out into the sea
at flood times, though the sea water penetrates into it
through the sbiugle bank, or flows over into it during storm-
y weather. This lagoon is, in faot, like an inclosed arm of
the sen, and is alive with little fish, crabs, and all sorts of
marine, and semi-marine creatures.

Here the trout can get any quantity of food, and from the
depth and saltness of the water, they develop some of the
characteristics of salmon, the red flesh and the large size,
without being exposed to the attacks of tbe ravenous seafish.
The Mataura, in Sooth Otago, another snow river running
into a lagoon, has trout as large as those in the Opihi. A
friend of mine who is a true angler, Mr. Alexander Ferguson,
manager of the National Bank at Chrntohnrch, Canterbury,
to whom I applied for some authentic particulars of Bport
during the season just over, wrote to me, to follow me to A-
merica, as follows: "Brown trout weighing 20 lbs. and up-
ward have been landed with rod and line, from streams both
in the north and south of Canterbury, during the past seaBon.
Ou the Selwyn, a stream fifteen miles from Christohurch,
three rods killed twenty-one fish weighing 1441bs., on the
17ih of December, with natural bait, bullhead and Bmelt
(small fish indigenous to the river). On the same day, two
rods killed sisiy-one trout weighing 41$lbs. with artificial fly,
in a stream flowing into the Selwyn.'*

The very big fish are generally caught with natural bait,
or with an artificial minnow, the Devon beio^ - ■ "■ red
specially effeotive. Bnt I have known several u
landed through tbe seductions of a cookchat
grasshopper.

Judges vs. Drivers.

During the past six weeks the unwelcome news comes
through the sporting press that at several of the meet-
tings on the big circuit, there have been rumors of
crcokedness in connection with some of the principal
trotting and pacing events. The first rumor came from
Buffalo, and almost every week since there have been in-
sinuations cast on the probity of some one in almost
every great race. Our correspondent, over his own
signature, this week, tells what the general impression was
in Boston on the night of the §10,000 stallion race.
These stories all tend to injure the best interests of racing
and they are even more injurious than if they were true,
for in many instances there is no foundation for the
idle words of men, who know not whereof they speak.
To illustrate a case it is only necessary to point to the
race that Emrua Temple won at Stockton. Alfred G. wag
the favorite before the first heat, his great contest at
Oakland with Atto Rex, stamping him as one of the best
young horses of the year. It is true Hazel Wilkes, and
Lorita had made low marks and both had proved them-
selves game, but it was not thought for an instant by
those who had watched the horses closely on the circuit
that tbey could do much more than exercise him. He
won the first heat, but was beaten in the second, he not
beiog at himself, the epizootic having taking a firm hold
of Anteeo's best son. Immediately on the conclusion of
the heat, the story was retailed that Dustin was not "out
for the money" and a request was made to change
drivers. Dustin stepped down and out and Douathan
was put up instead. There is no fault to find with Mr.
Donathan, but he is so much over weight that what lit-
tle chance there was for the backers of the colt was com-
pletely gone, especially in view of the fact that Mr. Dus-
tin understands the youngster perfectly having given him
his first work, and has driven him ever since the Napa
meeting, and the new driver had never pulled a rein oeer
him before. Before the judges had decided to change the
driver careful consideration should have been paid to all
the bearingsjin the case, for there is hardly auy horseman
but what thinks the outcome would have been differan*

if the change had not been effected. Whenever the aver-
age bettor does not win in straight heats, he is willing
to cry fraud and assist to take the bread out of the
mouths of deserving men. Gentlemen who go into the
stand should be well up in everything that pertains to
the sport, and at the same time should have firmness
enough not to listen to all the talk which the man with
one five dollar pool ticket is only too willing to carry.

Lord Brvon.

Immediately after the entries were made on August
1st., threats of protest were heard from all quarters i?«
Lord Byron who was entered in the 2:30 class and yet
Wallace's Year Book Bhows that at Butte, Montana, on
August 10, 1888, he made a record of 2:29. It was as-
sumed at once that a mistake had been made by the
manager of Mr. Daly's stable and enquiry was set on
foot to prove the record if possible. letters were writ-
ten to J. H. "Wallace asking him, where he received his
information from; to the secretary of the association at
Butte, to the daily papers at Butte, and to several gen-
tlemen who were present when the race was trotted. An-
swers have been received, and there can be no further
argument in the case, the second heat was trotted in
2:29i, and therefore he was eligible to start in the 2:30
class.

Pacific Coast Association,

During the meeting of the FacificCoast Trotting Horse
Breeders' Association, which begins next Saturday, a
convention of delegates will be held from the principal
tracks throughout the Coast. The object it to determine
whether it is practical to start another trotting associa-
tion, based on the same lines as the "American'^and the
"National." Some two months ago the Breeder and
Sportsman sent circular letters to all the prominent
horsemen of the "West, and received such replies that it
was evident that all interested are ripe for a change.
The very negligent manner in which business has been
conducted by the old Associations and the way the rulas
respecting penalties are at present in vogue between
tht two older organizations seems to warrant the
assumption that a new organization is really necessary
for the proper protection of the trotting horse interests of
the Pacific Coast. It is deBired that a full representation
be present-, and where it is imposssble to send delegates,
each track Association should be present by proxy. As
the Breeders' Meeting promises to be one of the beBt held
in the State, this will afford the visiting delegates a fine
opportunity to witness some grand races. Secretaries of
all associations are requested to call the attention of their
directors to this meeting.

Correze, the two year old which promises to be the best
colt of his years, ought to be fast, if breeding goes for any-
thing, he being by Newminster from Ouida, by XaltendoD —
My Fancy by Blair Athol. He is a most headstrong beast.
At his first showing at Bosehill he galloped twice round the
course after winning with ridiculous ease; and after winning
Tattersall's two year old Btakes at Tattersall Club's August
meeting, he dashed across the course and into the fence, both
horse and jockey coming down a crusher. Correze lay stunned
for some seconds, but soon got up, and was led away, young
Fielder, one of our crack jockeys, escaping with a shaking.
Some idea of the horse's speed may be gained from the fact
that in the latter race he ran the half mile in the rattling time
of 49J seconds.

The principal event at Tattersall's August meeting, the
Spring Handicap resulted in a big surprise, the winner turt-
ning up in BuBtler, a horse by Marvellous — Secret. When
the weights first came out for this event, Mr. C. T. Roberts,
the owner of Bastler, was. or pretended to be, very wrath,
and threatened to vent his grievance in the press as to the
over weighing of his horse, but the events have shown that
the handicappers had gauged the horse better than his Own-
er. The two favorites, the much fancied Singapore and Ber-
nardo were easily defeated, but the writer wirl not be sur-
prised to see them show up later in the Beason, as neither of
them was properly wound up, Bernardo in particular, grunt-
ing like a hog.

A few statistics as to our winning sires during the
season of 1888-89, may interest your readers. The mighty
Musket, recently deceased, the property of the New Zealand
Stud Company, heads the list, he having begot thirty-one
winners, who annexed in Australia and New Zealand, the
handsome sum of £19,613. The Drummer, by Bataplan —
My Niece comes next, but along way below with £7971 for
twenty six winners. Martini — Henry, a son of Musket from
Sylvia, takes third place with three winners who appropria-
ted £6,151. Tour Darebih sired six winners who won nine
races for £1781; Sir Mo'dred one winner, two races £580, and
Cheviot Bcored two races with two winners for £298. Before
my next letter leaves here the Hawkesbury, (near Sydney)
and Australian Jockey Clubs' SpriDg Meetings will have be-
come things of the past, so that a big budget of news may be
expected from your humble servant. The Jungle.

Our Australian Letter.

Sydney, Sept. 4, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — In speaking of trotting
races in my last letter, I stated that, with the exception of
the Sydney Driving Park, trotting races were not indulged in
by any of the Sydney Suburban Race Course proprietors. I
Bhould have added the Canterbury Park Kace Club, where a
programme of trotting races is set down for the 23d of Sep-
tember, the items including a maiden trot for 50 sovb; a 2:50
class trot for 50 sovs, and a 2-mile time handicap trot for
250 sovs.

Dr. Slate, an American dentist, having a large practice in
Sydney, and one of oar most prominent trotting horse ow-
ners, was recently disqualified by the Melbourne authorities
under rather peculiar circumstances. A Mr. Lamonte took
upon himself the office of writing to Dr. Slate, asking him to
enter a trotter called Creole for a race in Sydney. This the
Doctor did, being unaware at the time that Mr. Strettle, the
owner of Creole had entered the horse for the same race. Mr.
Strettle reported the matter to the Victorian Turf Club, of which
he is a member, and that body thought fit to pass disqualifica-
tion upon him. The matter was referred to the Sydney
Driving Park Club, who refused to endorse their action, and
upon Dr. Slate the olher day instituting an action at law
against the Victorian Turf Club, they oried peceavi and re-
moved the ban. (Dr. Slate was formerly Assistant American
Consul, while Col. Kahlo was the representative. The Mr.
Lamonte referred to was for many years a resident of Oro-
ville in this State. — Ed.)

"Stiff" running is carried on out here to an alarming ex-
tent, and the in-and-out running of Colonial horses is some-
thing to be remembered. We certainly have a few straight-
goerB, but they can be reokoned up in a very short space of
time. More particularly at the "rat" or Suburban meetings
is the stiff running indulged in, when before every race is
started each horse and jockey undergoes a careful sorutlny
by the knowing ones, and if the former has its plates on and
the latter is without spurs, the pair ere looked upon as not
"on the job." Sometimes an example is made of the owner
or jockey— more especially if they are not among the influen-
tial crowd; but as a rule nothing much short of pulling a
horse'B head clean off will lead to disqualification. At a
recent Eosehill meeting aj horse ran in a race with six stone
up, and finished pretty well laBt. Later on in the day the
same horse went oat apparently friendless with 8 stone 10 lbs
up aD<l won cleverly from a good field, drawing comment next
day from the local papers that the owner had refused to take
£100 to £2 about him. However, the writer of this knew on
very good authority tbat tne owner had baoked his horse-
through a friend — to wiu him a very tidy sum.

The Hon James White is one of our straight-goers, but so
far as his case goes it pays to be honest, as he yearly wins a
priocrly sum in stakes alone. As an instance of the horses
running for Mr. White last season: At the first day of the
V. B. C. autumn meeting in 1888 Mr. White annexed four
races in snecession with Oarlyon, Volley, Abercorn and Cran.
brook. No need for a man to run crooked with such a team
as he raises year after year.

Scientific Home-Shoeing

Among the thiDgs that mark the wonderful progress of the
day in matters pertaining to the horse and race-track, not the
least interesting is the development of the farrier's trade into
a science — a profession tbat requires study and natural apti-
tude. Our leading trainers appreciate the inestimable value
of a perfectly balanced and scientifically adjusted shoe, and a
careful comparison of time made under different styles of
shoeing has always demonstrated the importance of seeking
only the most skillful farriers. The handiwork of the expert
farrier has in many instances deoided the race between other-
wise equally matched horses, and intelligent work is now
taking the place of the "rale of the thnmb" in shoeing horses.
Among horsemen of the country, San Francisco is becoming
noted for the excellenoy of this branch of skilled workman-
ship; and among the most skillful and beBt known scientific
horse-shoers, we take pleasure in referring to MeBsrs. Boyd &
Morgan, who have recently opened a shop at 413 Taylor
Street, adjoining the Club Stables, where scientific Bhoeing of
craoked trotters and valuable horses will be a speciality. Mr.
Boyd giveB his personal supervision to this branch of the
work, and has shod some of the most notable horses that ever
made a record on a race track, and that, too, at short notice,
and under the critical supervision of tbe hest judges who
were vitally interested in the excellence of his performance of
the work in hand. Mr. Boyd comes to us indorsed by Mr.
Goldsmith, Dick Havey, Walter Maben, W. H. Parker, J.

U-rim's Gossip*

There is a letter at this office for Mr. Freidhofer.

Id the black list sent this week from the American Associ-
ation there appear the names of several Califoinian horses.

AxtelI,2:14;Sanol, 2:161; Lillian Wilkes, 2:17$: Allerton,
2:18i; Fauet, 2:18£ — quite" a quintet of three-year-olds for
one season.

The New York Sporting World has broken all previous
records by naming seven winners at Gravesend in one day.
It will be many a day before that record is beaten.

Mr. Whitney has had Dawn sent to the Bay District Track
to prepare him for the great contest in the National Stallion
Stakes, which takes place Saturday, the 12th inst.

The Breeder asd'Spcrtsmak Futurity Stake is sure to be
a grand success, as assurance come in every day that the en-
try list will far surpass anything ever seen in California.

The Healdsburg meeting promises to be a great success.
Entries have been promised from many sources and there is
every indication that a large number of horsemen will be in
attendance.

"Every breeder and true lover of the trotting turf must
feel a just pride in the management of our races this year."
exclaims the Horseman. "New owners, new drivers and
new horses are coming to the front. The ringer marks of
advancement and improvement can be teen everywhere."

Messrs. Killip & Co, informs me that by the Mariposa,
which leaves Sidney October 4th, there will be sent to tnem,
for account of John Tres trail, four draft stallions and two
mares. They are a superior lot, one of them being the finest
English Shire staliion yet broaght to California. Mr. Tres-
trail was endeavoring to arrange to accompany the importa-
tion.

On Tuesday of last week, Fallon and Lansing lost a valua-
ble mare from lung fever. She was at Bridges Btable, and
although everything possible was done for her, she had to
succumb to the fell destroyer. She was called Mamie C. and
was by Casey's Hambletoniau, out of Maggie C. who has a
record of 2:25.

A historic race is being talked of in Vermont. It is no
less than a proposed match between the famous sires Aristos,
2:27£, and Highland Grey, 2:28. The former is 18 years old
and the latter is about 23. Both are too old to trot out a race
of fast heats, but the blood of their owners is up, and by a
contested race only can the rivalry be settled to satisfy them.

'■It's the race that draw the crowd, "says theKuthlandHer*
aid. Oppose the "race problem," my kind, anti-racing friend
and see what kind of a financial shroud will enfold you. You
may have the same exhibits, have everything but the racing,
and then balance up your books. The standard of the race
track has been so railed that racing is now recognized as the
leading out-of-doors sport.

The Directois of the Blood Horse Association held a meet-
ing last nigh to determine where the fall races should begiven.
It seems tbat they cannot agree with Mr. Hinchman as to
what is a fair price for the use of the Bay District track, so
they concluded to go elsewhere. Fresno it is understood will
make a large bid for the privilege, and Petaluma is also look-
toward securing the bangtails as an attraction for that town.

Mr Barstow's stallion Stranger, which won the 4th heat of
the District race at San Jose on Tuesday, is a monstrous big
fellow, weighing 1,465 pounds, and what is more remarkable
about the victory, is the fact that he was only worked out five
times prior to the race. He pulled a cart instead of a sulky,
it being found that with the light vehicle he waB liable to lose
his balance more easily than he did with tbe heavier cart.

Without being able to state positively what terms have been
offered by Mr. Lorillard, of New York, for Eacine and Flam-
beau, it is well known that the great tobacco king is desirous
of securing them both for next year, and is willing to come
to any understanding that may be accepted to Senator Stan-
ford. He should also try to get Rico, for if he fills out well
during the coming winter, be will be a world beater. He
has a big lumbering way of going, but is a very speedy colt,
and evidently a stayer.

Here is another story told by one of thesbewdest horsemen
in the country on the Nelson-Alcryon race at Hartford: "It
ib quile certain that there waB a combine to beat Nelson, and
the plan was tbat Alcryon should drive Nelson out in two
heats, and that iben Jack should win. So far as Nelson and
Alcryon were concerned the plan worked, but in the meantime
Jack was pumped out, and it became evident that Geneva S.
coaldbeat him and wonld do so. In consequence, of this Al-
cryon was sent to win."

A movement to erect a suitable monument over the grave
of John Murphy, the celebrated trotting horse driver, has al-
ready been commenced, the matter having been taken in
hand by several prominent New Yorsers in a manner that
assures its success. Subscription books have been opened and
seut to various places, and before the snow tiieB a marble
shaft, suitably inscribed will mark the resting place of a man
who was never tempted into pulling a horse and who enjoy-
ed the confidence of Robert Bonner and other notable pa-
trons of the trotting turf.

Why don't secretaries of trotting associations comply with
the ruleB of both the American and National Associations
and require the pedigree to accompany every entry? This is
a rule tbat should be strictly enforced. Everybody oan't at-
tend races everywhere, but every lover of turf sports can en-
oy reading reports of races everywhere if such reports gave
the breeding and ownership, not merely of the winners but
of every horse engaged in the race. But what satisfaction is
there in reading summaries of races that barely give the names
of the contestants and positions obtained?

The following* speaks for itself: —

Boston, Mass., Sept. 27th. — Mr. C. H. Nelson, owner of
the Maine stallioD, Nehon, is out in the following self-ex-
planatory letter: —

To the Editor of the Globe: — In reply to the reports in
regard to the stallion race not being won on its merits, I
make the following proposition: —

I will trot Nelson acainBt Alcryon over Mystic Park next
Tuesday or "Wednesday for from $2,500 to $4,000 a side, to
satisfy the public that my horse can win on his merits. I
have an offer to sell Nelson for very big money, but I have
cancelled the sale until this race can be trotted. The Globe
can name the judges. Charles H. Nelson.

The attention of all horsemen is called to a new advertise-
ment in this issue, which emanates from the P. C. T. H. B.
A. offering $3,400 more for trotters and pacers. From tbe
present look of affairs, this will be the best meeting ever held
on the Pacific Coist, and will surpass in brilliancy many of
the Eastern events.

Billy Likeland, the able trainer of Exile, is quite a char-
acter. Meeting Major K. G. Thomas on the stretch at
Sheepsbead Bay recently, and after being congratulated on
his recent series of successes by tbat gentleman, he said:
"Well, Major, everybody aronnd here scanned me so closely
when I Wout aronnd in my stable clothes, that I concluded
to get a new outfit, and dress up as you see me. I give $6
for this suit; and it is a nice outfit. Don't you think so?"
Tbe conversation was here broken off by several faiends join-
ing the pair, and Major had no chance to pass an opinion on
Billy's outfit.

It will be seen from tbe following which is taken from the
New York Sporting World that Lee and Keating have sold
their fast horse Sensation. The reported sale of the grey
gelding Sensation, by Peacock, to Mr. Frank Work of this
city was concluded to-day by Dexter B. Goff. The price
paid was $5,000. Sensation will he remembered as the win-
ner of the 2:22 class trot at Fleetwood Park last week. Mr.
Work purchased him for a pole mate to his gray gelding
Billy Freer, whom he matches perfectly, and the two together
should make one of the fastest of teams, as they worked well
when tried.

Mr. Valensin has sent the cheBtuut horse ValenBin, 3-year-
old, record 2:23, to W. H. Wilson of Abdallah Park, Cyntha-
nia, Ky., by whom he will be sold. There have only been
two of his colts trained, both of which were threatened with
speed, one of them showing easy quarters in 40 seconds,
while the other, when ooly 15 months old, trotted a half in
1:16, and a quarter in 36 seconds. Yalensin himself is a
good game trotter, getting his record against Alcazar and
Tempest, both of whom were very speedy. Mr. Goldsmith
afterwards drove Yalensin a mile in 2:21, as a four year old,
and the performance was all the more meritorious inasmuch
ai it was to cart. Whoever finally secures this horse will get
a good one, as he is not only a fast trotter, but a producer of
trotters.

A friend writing to me from New South Wales says that
ringers are numerous in the Antipodes, and that pedigrees
are frightfully mixed He gives an instance of one of the
pedigrees announced at a late sale there by the auctioneer,
wherein he sta'ed that Justin Morgan's dam was by Mor-
gan's Tally Ho, he by Woodburn, grandam by Andrew Jack-
Bon, he by Bashaw. Now, as Justin Morgan died in 1821,
and Andrew Jnckson was not foaled until 1827, it is some-
what of a puzzle to make that pedigree stick. The writer
also says, some really good mares, from 4 to 8 years old, able
to show from 2:40 to 3:00 or better, and well bred with au-
thenticated pedigrees, would sell well down here, say from
$1,000 to $2,000. Must bring a veterinary certificate of
health, and tbat there has been no known infections disorder
on ranch for six months previous, signed by breeder or own-
er, also, or they won't be let land in Sydney. No more stal-
lions wanted."

The Porterville (Tnlare Co.) Blood Horse Asso^afcion met
at the Enterprise office on Wednesday afternoon to discuss
the queBtion of purses etc., and hear the reports of the com-
mittee, which was appointed to interview the citizens with a
view to finding out how much money could be raised for the
event. There were present L. J. Bedfield, president, in the
chair; J- E. Shuey, treasurer; J. C. Scott, secretary; and di-
rectors J. W. Hall M. C. Crawford and E. Jamieson. After
the reading and approval of the minutes of the previous
meeting, the committee before mentioned reported that they
canvassed among the townspeople in the interests of the
work assigned them with the result that about $450 was pro-
mised, bo that taking perquisites and other things into con-
sideration there would be no difficulty in raising the neces-
sary $500. A committee consisting of Messrs. Hall, Craw-
ford and Jamieson, was then appointed, with authority to
make all the necessary arrangements for advertising the
coming races, and arranging their order, after which the meet-
ing adjourned until Saturday. — (Enterprise.)

CORRESPONDENCE.

The $10,000 Stallion Race.

Sept. 24, 1SS9.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman;— I have just returned
from Boston, where I went to witness the great race between
the most noted stallions of the East, and saw the honors go
to the Maine bred stallion Nelson 2:I4|, Never but once has
he been defeated and that was on the 28th day of August, of
this year, at Hartford, when after winning the first heat and
obtaining his record, he had to succumb to the game little
grey Alcryon, record 2:16£. Probably the largest crowd ever
seen on a race course in New England, graced Beacon Park
at 1 o'clock, the hour set for calling the first heat, in thiB
the greatest event of the year. The grand stand was a solid
mass of humanity. Tnere. was not a vacant seat upon the
bleaching boards and the mammoth pool rooms were Dacked.
Men, women and children were everywhere. The "stables
swarmed with people, th3 track was lined, and over a thous-
ond carriages passed through the gates. Every conceivable
style of vehicle was to be seen, mail coaches, victorias, lan-
daus, road wagons, etc., in fact every kind of equipage
known was to oe seen ioside the grounds. Mr. Balch, John
Turner, John Trout, Jock Bowen and James Golden, all said
they never saw the track so crowded nor bo fast as it was on
this particular day. Of course, you already know the start-
ers and the result, but I thought you might like to hear how
the race was trotted, from one of the spectators.

Of the thirteen nominations, there were five to face the
judges, who for the occasion were Mr. W. Edwards, of Cleve*
land; Geo. W. Archer, of Rochester; David Bonner, of New
York, aDdF. F. G. Babcock, of Hornellsville, N. T. The
starters were Nelson, record 2:14^; Alcrvon, 2:16$; June-
mount, 2:18f ; Granby, 2:194; and Pilot Knox, 2:19f. In the
pools, Nelson was a decided favorite at $100, with Alcryon
Belling second choice for §50, and the others as the field for
$20 down to $12. In the nraw for places, Alcryon got tne
pole, Pilot Knox second, Nelson third, Granby and June-
mount on the outside.

The Bcoring for the first heat was long and tedious, much
of which was caused by Alcryon's breaking, but at the tenth
or twelfth effort, they got the word to a good send-off, with
Aloryon a trifle in front. He was quickly joined by Nelson,
who made the pace so fast, that Alcryon broke, an J Nelson
went at once to the front, and, staying there, won somewhat
easily by a length and a half in 2:18^, Alcryon second, Pilot
Knox third, Junemount fourth, and Granby fifth. The ease
with which Nelson won, was a staggering blow to Alcryon's
backers, and a good many of them, went to the pool-box to
hedge. When the horses were called tor the second heat,
Nelson was selling over the field at $200 to $175 and down
to $160.

They got start with Nelson at once taking the lead. Alcr-
yon made a big effort, but failed, and Nelson drew away.
Junemont then made a dash at Alcryon but could not pass
him. At the third quarter Bobbins took a pull on Alcryon
for a great spurt in the lust quarter. He made the effort, bat
could not sustain it, and breaking badly Nelson won the heat
by two lengths in 2:17}, after which many conceded the
race to Nelson in straight heats. Nor did he disappoint
them. The scoring for the third heat was long and tedious.
When they got the word Nelson took the lead with Alcryon
making a desperate effort to pass him. He broke badly thtn
rallied and again closed up, ou 1 j to break again, and as it was
plain that he had shot his bolt Roobins took him in band.
Pilot Knox and Junemont than made a race for third money,
which Pilot Knox secured by finishing second; Jnnemont
third, Granby fourth and Alcryon last. Time— 2:18|.

Of course there is always plenty of talk after a big race, and
this one was no exception to the rule. Breeders, horsemen
and stable boya all told tbe same tale, that Alcryon received
first and second money, and Nelson received the floral em-
blems. Whether the racs was fixed beforehand is simply a
matter of conjecture; be that as it may, the two are matched
to trot again, Mr. Nelson putting up $2,500 against $2,000.
It must have been fully twenty minutes before the winner
could leave the track, after the last heat, bb it seemed as
though all of Maine had turned out to see the great conttst.
Mr. Balch told me that there were over 20,000 persons pres-
ent, of which 13,000 paid $1.50 for entrance and an addi-
tional $1.50 for seats in the grand stand. As you will read-
ily perceive it costs more to see a good race here than it
does in our glorious State, and I hope in future that I will
never hear any more kicking about our people having to put
up a dollar to see a good rate. I have now seen the best uf
the Eastern stallions, and know that Stamboul, Guy Wilkes
and Director can beat the best of them here. Horse business
is good here and prices high. Yours very truly,

Sam Gamble.

How to La 7 Out a Track.

The question come3 every few months, "What is the rule
for laying out a mile or half-mile track?" In order to post
new subscribers in the modus opemndi, it is necessary to
publish this rule once or twice a year, and in answer to re-
cent inquiries we give it below: —

FOR A MILE TEACK.

A Geld of forty-two acres will do. Draw a line throueh tbe
oblong centre, 440 yards in length, setting a stake at each
end. Then draw a line on either side of the first line, exactly
parallel with and 140 yards from it, setting stakes at either
end of them. You will then have an oblong square 440 yards
long and 2S0 yards wide. At each end of these three lines
you will now set stakes. Now then, fasten a cord or wire 140
yards long to the centre stake of your parallelogram, and then
describe a half .circle, driving stakes as often as yon wish to
set a fence post. This half circle commencing at one side
and extending to the other, will measure 440 yards. When
the circle is made at both endB of your parallelogram, you
will have two straight Bides that measure 440 yards each, and
two circles of exactly the same length, which, measured three
feet from the line, will be exactly a mile. The tarns should
be thrown up an inch to the foot.

HALF-MILE TRACK.

Draw two parallel lints 600 feet long and 452 feet five
inches apart. Half way between the extreme ends of tbe two
parallel lines drive a stake, then loop a wire around the
stake, long enoug i to reach to either Bide. Then make a
true curve with the wire, putting down a stake as often as a
fence post is needed. When this operation is finished at both
ends of tbe 600 foot parallel lines, the track is laid
inside fence will rest exactly on the line drawn, I
must measure a half mile three feet from th?
turns should be thrown up an inch to the foot.
may be anywhere from 45 to^60 feet wide.

In the mountain lakes of the Middle Island, some of which,
auch as Wakatipu, are 2,000 feet above the level of the sea,
and are reputed to be unfathomable, the trout reach a greater
Bize than they do even in rivers like the Opihi or the Matau-
ra. But I believe there has never been an instance of a big
trout being caught in a laka with rod and line. Plenty of
them are caught and eaten, but they are either netted or else
speared, or snared in some way. There seems to be some-
thing in the vast depth and extreme coldness of the water,
which changes their habits, and renders them proof against
all temptations that the genuine angler can hold out.

Meeting of the Fish Commissioners.

The Board met at 220 Salter street on Wednesday after-
noon last. The first business done was to allot the contract
for removiog obstructions in the American Eiver at Salmon
Falls. El Dorado County, to Henry G. Miller, of Placerville,
his bid being 5479. The report of Deputy Commissioner F.
P. Cullendan was presented in the following words: —
Hox. Board of Fish Commissioners:—

Gentlemen, On the day of Sept. 25tb, 1889, at Klamath
City, Siskiyou County, Cal., I called on J. E. McLaoghlin,
President and manager of the Klamath Kiver Lumber Im-
provement Co., in reference to the construction of a fish lad-
der. He had received a plan of instructions the morning of
my arrival. He immediately set his men at work to build
one. I saw them making it. He stated he would have it
placed on the afternoon of the 25th, 1889. Mr. McLaughlin
is doing all the Commissioners and the law require of him.

I also arrested eight men for violating the fish law in catch-
ing salmon ont of season: With the assistance of Sheriff
Moxley, of Ureka, Siskiyou County, the case was brought
before Justice E. H. Antennith, and was prosecuted by As-
sistant District Attorney Thomas. Jury trial.

I will state the gentlemen did all io their power to convict,
but as the parlies arrested were laboring people and if con-
victed could not pay their fines and would place their families
in destitution, and claimed ihey were not versed in the law,
the jury stood nine for acquittal and three for conviction.
The prisoners had the fnJl sympathy of the people of the
county, as everybody from the Judge, District Attorney and
nearly every citizen of the County to the jury had bought
salmon from the Baid prisoners I had on trial. In my judg-
ment, if I had stayed in Yreka from the 25th day of Sept.,
1889 to the 25th day of Sept. 1890, I could not find a jury to
convict, unless, as was remarked to me, I arrested the whole
County. I think the law, from public opinion, will be carried
ont and will not be violated again.

Calling ou the District Attorney, J. S. Beard. I found him
very sick. He stated that the Commissioners bad asked him
to recommend a gentleuiau to act as Deputy Fish Commis-
sioner. He, as well as the Sheriff and- citizens of Yreka.
named Charles H, Bogarfc. I called on the gentleman and
found him in business as a carriage and wagon painter.' He
is a sportsman and a lover of fishing and hunting and is very
determined to carry out the laws. I would recommend the
Commiss'oners to appoint him as a Deputy Fish Commis-
sioner.

I will also ask that the Secretary of the Commission inform
His Excellency Gov. Waterman that Mr. Moxley, Sheriff of
Yreka, did all in his power to assist me in following out his
instructions. Yours respectfully,

F. P. CULLEMDAN.

Deputy J. P. Dalton reported the aquittal of two Chinese
arrested for illegal fishing in Suisun Bay.

The deputy had patrolled the Sacramento Eiver from
Benecia to the City of Sacramento, and the San Joaquin
River from Black Diamond to a point twenty miles above
Stockton. No violations of the laws were noted. Reports
had reached the deputy about the maintenance of tanks of
fish which were caught and sailed during September, and
salted down. It had been impossible to ascertain the precise
place where the tanks were.

A deputy reported that the residents of Yreka were com-
plaining of the iirigating flumes in that vicinity. The small
fish enter the flumes and are thrown on the land, where they
cause a stench that is almost unbearable, and makes the
neighborhood unhealthy. Many thousand young salmon
and trout are destroyed in this way. 'Ihe Commissioners
will instroct tbe owners of flumes how to placj wire nettings
bo that they will keep the fish out aDd still leave the flow of
water unobstructed.

A deputy stated that the Indians along Russian River,
between Ukiah and Cloverdale, maintained many tish traps
which should be removed. Deputy Callundan was ordered
to visit Ukiah at once and remove the traps.

Commissioner Routier stated that the sawdust and slickens
trouble was almost over with, and that few fish were dying
from that cause. In a few cases, notably in the Truckee
River, millmen persisted in disobeying the law. He intends
to go there soon, and offenders will be punished as heavily
as possible.

The commission has decided that Lake Tahoe trout are not
fit for transplanting on account of their sluggish habitB, but
have discovered a finer variety in Lake Marlett, jast over to
the Nevada lioe from Tahoe. These tish are said to greatly
resemble the Dolly Varden or Extern brook-trout, and are
bo plentiful in the Uke that there is not sufficient food for
them. The Carson and Virginia Lumber Company has con-
trol of the lake, and will furnish fish in any number. The
Commissioners will plant them in all streams where applica-
tions are made for fish.

Views on the proposed importation of game-birds were
called for, but none were elicited. Tbe commission is anxious
to hear opinions on tbe beBt birds to import.

Last Sunday was the last quarter of the moon, and the
fish bit unusually well.

Several large catchea of rock cod were made at Lime Point,
Tiburon, Angel Island, and other points around the bay.

Several catches of Smelt were also reported, tbe largest
fish being caught in the neighborhood of Sausulito.

Good fishing may be found off Alcatraz, under tbe prison
but in order to fish when one hundred yards from tbe shore
a permit must be obtained from the commanding officer on
the Island.

On Monday a good mauy bine cod were caught off Kers-
haw's Point. A party consisting of Jack Killey, Joe Mahon
and Ned White, went to Hospital Coal, Angel Island, on
Tuesday and brought home over one hundred pounds of very
larg 8ah. They used clamB for bait.

H. P. Rennie, of Oakland, was last week presented with a
fine mastiff bitch puppy, by Mr. H. G. Euhl. The puppy is
sired by Dick, (10549) out of a tine bitch owned by Mr. Kohl.
It gives promise of being an exceptionally fioe animal.

Death by Poison-

Admirers on the Pacific Coast of the English mastiff, will
regret the death of Dick (A. K. S. B. 10549;, by poison, one
day last week. When discovered by Mr. Scott, his owner,
every effort was made to save this noble animal, but being
such a powerful dog. it was a difficult and somewhat dan-
gerous matter to apply the remedies at hand, and after Buf-
fering intense agonv, poor old Dick succumbed. Dick was
undonbtedly the finest mastiff dog on the Coast, having won
first prize at San Francis o, at the Pacific Kennel Club, two
yearB in succession, viz: 1888 and 1SS9. When it became
known the following morning of Dick's deatb, real estate
men, bankers, and dry goods men, and clerks flocked to Mr.
Scott's place of business to see the immense skin stretohed
on the floor, and if the "poisoner" could have been found
at that time it wonld have been two to one that he would
have been tarred and feathered.

The American Kennel Club.

The Richmond County Poultry and Pet Stock Association
of Augusta, Ga., having applied for a State charter, nnder
the name of the Georgia Poultry and Pet Stock Association,
asks to have its name changed to the list of active members
this club.

I beg to submit two letters from Mr. Amory R. Starr of
Marshall, Texas, asking that the rules governing registration
in the Btud-book may be so amended as to admit dogs of
unknown pedigree, but having made a recoid for themselves
at field trials, to a place in the book.

I have received notices of proposed amendments to the
Bench Show rules as follows:

From Mr. Robert Leslie, to amend Rule IS.

From Dr. J. Frank Perry, to amend Rule XXVII.

Both the notices of said amendments will be submitted at
this meeting.

I herewith submit for your considejation a complaint from
Mr. Andrew Laidlaw of Woodstock, Canada, against Mr.
Halket P. Rennie of Oakland, Cal., asking for his disqualifi-
cation, together with the Spaniels "Woodstock Belle" and
"Giffee."

A communication from Mr. Elliot Smith, enclosing one
from a friend, relative to the arrangement of tbe Bench
Show rales of the American Kennel Club, will be placed be-
fore you, and yonr secretary believes the matter to be of
sufficient importance to adopt the recommendations contain-
ed therein, and wonld recommend that a committee should
be appointed at this meeting to re-arrange, and add all the
amendments passed since the last published copies of said
rules, and to incorporate any new alterations additions or
amendments that the experience of the last show season has
taught us are required, to give the necessary thirty days no-
tice of the changes, in tbe October issue of tbe Gazette, so
that the matter can be acted upou at the December meeting.
In case this is done, would suggest that your secretary be
instructed to order three sets of electrotype plates made of
the new rales, of a size suitable for tbe catalogues issued by
the several clubs holding shows for the purpose of loaning
a set of such plates to each club for its use in making up its
catalogue, thereby insuring the publication of the correct
rales, and also resulting in a saving of expense to the shows.

A communication from Dr. H. T. Foote will be submitted
for your consideration, in which he asks for special legisla-
tion in the matter of tbe wins made by his black and tan
terriers "Meerabrook Maiden" and "Meersbrook Girl," dur-
ing last spring's shows, while shown under wrong names,
through ignorance on the part of their owner as to their
identity.

Your Secretary begs to call to your attention the fact that
some of tbe clubs whose applications for membership are
now before you, have held shows since filing such applica-
tions, and if said clubs are admitted, he wonld respectfully
recommend that some action should be taken at this meeting
as to whether this Association will or will not recognize the
awards made at such shows.

I also beg to submit a communication from Mr. C. J. Pes-
hall, requesting an alternation of tbe minutes of the meeting
of July 23, 188S, the same being in his opinion incorrect.

To the American Kennel Club —

Gentlemen:— Since my last report I bave received applica-
tions for admission to the American Kennel Club from the
following clubs: Tne American Spaniel Club, tbe Brooklyn
Kennel Club and Pet Stock Association, tbe California Ken-
nel Club, the Elmira Poultry and Pet Stock Association, the J
Montana Kennel Club, and the American Pet Doer Club, j
These applications are all in proper form, and the clubs are '
eligible to admission. At the last meeting of this club the
application of the Southern California Kennel Club was laid
over on account of the non-arrival of the oopy of its consti-
tution and annual dues, as required by our roles. These
papers came to hand the day following the meetin". This
club haB held a bench show since its application was received,
and asks the American Kennel Club to recognize the awards
made at said show. All correspondence on this subject be-
tween said clubs and myself will be submitted to this meet-
ing for your action.

I beg to call your attention to a complaint lodged with me
by Mr. A. \V. Smith of Buffalo, New York, against the Al-
bany ReDnel Clnb for the non-payment of the prize awarded
to him at said club's show, together with a letter from Mr
William C. Hudbou, President of tbe Albany Kennel Clnb
on the subject.

An urgent appeal has been received from Messrs. George
E. Poynetr and B\ Horace Smith, breeders of the Chesa-
peake Bay dogs praying ihat this club will formally adopt
the standards of Baid dogs as published in the American
Kennel Gazette of July, in reply to which I advised these
gentlemen that I would submit their request at this meeting
anh ask for action.

A. P. Vkedexbdbgh, Treasurer,
Report, on motion, received.

At this point Mr. August Belmont, Jr., arrived and took
tbe chair.

The report of the Stnd-Book Committee was read by the
Secretary, and on motion of Mr. Anthony adopted.

The report of the meetings of the Advisory Committee
waB also read and adopted.

Tbe following clubs were admitted to membership in the
American Kennel Club: American Spaniel Club, Southern
California KenDel Club, the Elmira Poultry and Pet Stock
Association, and the Montana Kennel Club.

The application of ihe Brooklyn Kennel Clnb and Pet
Stock Association was read.

Mr. Richards moved that the sense of this meeting is that
the Brooklyn Club is not an organization presenting evidence
of sufficient Btrength to make it desirable to admit it to this
Association.

Mr. Prime moved an amendment that the Brooklyn Ken-
nel Clnb be not admitted.

Amendment seconded and carried, as was also the resolu-
tion as amended.

The Secretary also read the application of the California
Kennel Clnb.

On motion of Mr. Hitchcock the application was laid on
the table until the Pacific Kennel Clnb couH be heard from.

The application of the American Pet Dog Clnb wbs, on
motion, referred to the Advisory Board

lm

%ht %xt£&£t and jlpxrrisntati.

Then the application of the Southern California Kennel
Clab was presented, Mr. Richards moved that the club be
admitted, but that the wins of their recent show be not re-
cognized.

Seconded and carried.

At this point Mr. Belmont retired, and Mr. Terry took the
chair.

The complaint of Mr. A. W. Smith against the Albany
Kennel Club for non-payment of the prize awarded him at
their show was, on motion of Mr. Taylor, referred to the
Advisory Board, with power.

During the discussion relative to this matter Mr. "Watson
moved an amendment that the secretary be inssruotdd to
carry out the provisions of Rule 28.

Mr. Hitchcock asked Mr. Watson what clnb he represent-
ed, who answered that he was present as a delegate of the
American Spaniel Club, elected a member of the American
Club to-day. Mr. Hitchcock then called for the reading of a
resolution adopted sometime previoua concerning Mr. Wat-
son, after the reading of which he moved that as Mr. "Wat-
sou had ceased to be editor of the American Kennel Register,
he be accepted as a delegate of the American Spaniel Club.

The communication from Messrs". Foyneer and Smith was
read, asking for the adoption of the standard of the Chesa-
peake Bay dogs as published in the American Kennel Gazette
in July last.

(Mr. Belmont here resumes the chair.)

After considerable discussion on the subject Mr. Richards
moved that the American Kennel Club recommend the use
at Bench shows of the standard of the Chesapeake Bay dogs
formulated and published in the July issue of the American
Kennel Gazette in the absence of, and until some standard
is adopted be some recognized specialty club in Chesapeake
Bay dogs.

Seconded and carried.

The following communication was received from Robert
Leslie:
A. P. Vredenburgh, Esqr., Secretary American Kennel Club.

Sm: At the next quaiterly meeting of the American Ken-
nel CKib I will offer the following ameudment to Rule IX:
"Each duly qualified veterinary Bnrgeon to be approved by a
committes of three appointed by this club to act on such
matters."

The rule to Tead as followa: "A duly qualified veterinary
snrgeon must be appointed at each show held under these
rules; each duly qualitied veterinary surgeon to be approved
by a committee of three appointed by this club to act on
such matters." Each dog received ata show must be passed
upon before being benched.

A communication was received and read from Dr. J. Frank
Perry as follows: —

AMENDMENT TO RULE XXVIII.

In the last paragraph strike out all after club — in the third
line— and so amended the rule may read as follows: —

"The Secretary of every Bhow must also forward to the
Secretary of the American Kennel Club a daily certified re-
port of the judges' awards, together with their reasons for
making such awards, within five days of the closing of each
phow." In support of which Dr. Ferry submitted the fol-
lowing argument, which was ordered to be published: —

Before offering this resolution I gave it deep thought and
made it the subjeot of much inquiry, for the reason that I
felt, from its peculiar nature, it was likely to meet with some
prejudice. It is well to say now that my first impression
when this matter was first proposed to me was exceedingly
unfavorable, hut the more I considerod it the stronger grew
my conviction that just such legislation was needed and that
the proposed rule was perfectly right and proper. I hold
that Associate clubs should send to the American Kennel
Club duly certified reports of their judges' awards, together
with their reasons for making such awards, and such reports
should be published in the official organ of the club, the
American Kennel Gazatte.

Now, it is generally known that there hav s been some ad*
verse cri.icibmo on this matter, both by the kennel press of
oar own country and that of England. It has been said to
be "objectionable, a3 being tyrannical." But such an asser-
tion must be backed by argument, and none has yet been
offered. It must fall of its own weight, however, for there
is nothing to sustain it. It is no more tyrannical than any one
of the rules established by this club. The purpose of the
American Kennel Club is to adopt and enforce such rules as
Bhallteod to the proper conduct of bench shows and to the
interests of breeders and exhibitors. And, to my mind, such
legislation as I piopose is strictly in the line of our duty.

It has been said that "we had better not exchange good
judges for poor reports." In the first place, our club has
nothing whatever to do with judges, hence barter is impossi-
ble. The judges are amenable to our associate clubs, and
to them only. "We say to these olubs, "we most have certi-
fied reports of your judges' awards." It is for them to settle
the matter with the judges; and how they do so does not
concern us. But is there a danger that indirectly we may be
the means of losing good judges to bench shows by reason of
the rule which I propose ? I say, certainly not.

They tell us some of our judges are illiterate and cannot
write a decent report. Now, many well know what judges
were in mind when this assertion was made. As a matter of
fact, the judge who is held the most illiterate of all ib perfect-
ly competent to clearly express himself in writing and to pre-
pare a good report. I know this to be so, for I have evidence
of it in my possession I have corresponded with him, and
his letters sustain what I say. It is true he do98 not write an
elegant hand, nor is his spelling always correct; "but," in
the language of the street," he gets there just the same."
"Were a judge, however, barely able to write his own name,
does it follow that bis report would be a poor one? Most
assuredly not. If he cannot write well himself, let him con-
vey his ideas to one who can, and sign his name to the docu-
ment which holds them.

As an objection, says one man to me, "the ability to judge
the merits of dogs, by no meanB goes hand in hand with the
faculty of clearly expressing ideas in even tolerable English."
That is true, and yet it means very little. Were we to exact
elaborate reports, very likely not a few judges would prove
unequal to the task. We would expect nothing of the sort,
however, we would ask for reports, and the reasons for the
awards, in plain and simple language — nothing more. And
it is absolutely ahsurd for a man to say. "I know, but I can't
express it," for he who knows can always manage to find
expression. Surely there is nothing intricate about judging—
nothing requiring intuitive powers; andif judges depend up-
on intuition the sooner they come to earth and base their
awards upon rational signs the better. Andif of two dogs
ODe is better in head than the other and the judge cannot Bay
so, then the ring is the last place for him.

One critic seems to think that judges should look upon
this rule as an imposition; and that they can have but little
respect for themselves if they conform to it. All I can say ie
that here in America, men expect to do what they are paid

for doine, and they do not consider that it detracts from their
dignity to obey orders while under contract.

Now here is a matter to dwell upon a little longer. When
a bench show committee hires a man to judge, they will, of
course, make it a part of their contract that he shall furnish
them a report Buch as we require of the club. One judge
may say to them, "I cannot write a decent report." What,
naturally, would be the anewer? "That is all right; some of
us will help you in making it up." And there are any num-
ber of men connected with every club who would be pleased,
after the judging is over, to take a note book and go around
the benches with the judge who feels himself incompetent;
take down his comments on the different dogs to which he
has awarded prizes, and then pnt the matter into shape. So
this objection is scarcely worth considering.

A judge may say, "I do not know what sort of a report
you want." All that is necessar> to say in reply is: "Take
one of our prominent kennel papers containing the report of
a bench show with comments on the awards; let that be a
starter for you — write up your work in about that style."
That will do for a beginning, before long some one will write
a report which will stand as a pattern for judges.

Now, some one is going to say of the proposed rule, "It
will add to the expenses of bench show managements." I do
not think that it will do so; if it does, the additional expense
will not be worth the mention. As an able associate of mine,
with long experience in the management of bench shows, has
said to me, "we pay judges enough so they can afford to give
us written reports of their awards such as you propose. From
that, I, of course, assume that judgeB cannot with good grace
refuse such a request even were they disposed to; and bench
show committees will have little patience with him who un-
dertakes to haggle.

Then there is the assertion which has been made that this
rule will put a hardship upon judges exhausted by their ar-
duous duties. Were we to demand of the secretaries of
bench shows that a repott he bent to this club the same day
of the jadging, it would be a hardship; otherwise it cannot be
so. Under the rule it is required that the report be forwarded
within 5 days. That allows judges from 6 to 7 days in which
to prepare it. Surely, there can be no hardship there.

Finally we come to the objection raised by some that since
the judges' reports are for publication solely in the American
Kennel Gazette, it. will be giving it an undue advantage and
be treating its contemporaries unfairly.

One needs but to stop and think a moment to see how
senseless is this objection. Were the Gazette a weekly, and
were it insisted upon that the reports be sent in as Boon as
the judging was completed, it would hold good; but in no in
stance can said reports be made public through the Gazette,
until long after its contemporaries have sent out theirs.

I have now called attention to all the objections to this
rule which so far as I know have been offered. As can read-
ily be seen, none are serious, and the must of them fall fiat
when we come to consider them. I will now briefly mention
a few of the reasons which prompted me to propose this in-
novation.

All know that there exists a most unwarrantable prejudice
among the. occasional exhibitors — that judges are in various
ways influenced in making their awards. Of course the de-
lusion is dispelled by experience, in the absence of which,
however, every argument is purposeless. If the resolution
which I have offered prevails, and bench show managements
hereafter require written reports from their judges, this ab-
surd prejudice will have practically been overcome, for the
suspicious exhibitor can no longer entertain it, when he
knows that every judge must publicly suetain his awards
with good and sufficient reasons. So the innovation will
afford a sense of security to many doubtfal ones, who for
their very fears of unfairness in the ring now decline to ex-
hibit their dogs. And, besides that, judges themselveB will
share in the gain, since there is given them the right to jus-
tify themselvtB, which they do not now have in the existing
state of affairs, being dependent upon the courtesy of the
kennel presB for such opportunity.

Many decisions in the ring are necessarily close ones, and
not infrequently in doubtful cases judges must now jump to
conclusion*, which, it scarcely need be said, is always haz-
ardous. If a judge knows that he must make a written re-
port of his awards and give his reasons therefor, he will, as a
natural consequence, use exceeding care in the performance
of his duties in the ring, and there will be no mental "toss
up," as there must occasionally be now. The more we hedge
around judges' safeguards against mistakes the better we
shall have performed our duty to them and to exhibitors.

It is a fact, which stares us in the face, that we have no
safe rule for judging dogs. It is true we have standards, bnt
like the Bible, they are rendered many ways. Every judge
muBt have ideals of his own creations, and no two can be
found with the same, alike in every respect. It is thought
by many that judging by points is the only true way. That
is, beyoud doubt, far better than the present somewhat er-
ratic method; but, besides being inexpedient in many in-
stances, it can never be held as an absolutely perfect system,
for, again, must a judge's individuality assert itself, and a
merit which constitutes five points with one may be accepted
by another as only deserving three or four points. So in the
absence of any sure method of judging, we can only hope h-r
keener discernment in our judges as they become better edu-
cated in their duties. And no one can gainsay that the inno-
vation winch I propose, will stimulate judges to study, and
to a better understanding of their requirements.

We have judges — and we have judges. Some must neces-
sarily be far superior toothers, and some, the most liberal
most be forced to admit, are but poorly qualified. The lat-
ter Bhould be weeded out, and what better way can be sug-
gested than this I propose, by means of which all will be put
on record bo a just estimate can he made? A man incapable
of judging must certainly betray his inefficiency in the first
report he sends in.

And this bringB me to another point. It is a sort of hap-
hazard way in whioh judges are now very often selected.
There is much speculation in it. Here is a man who bus
been breeding for some time, and it is assumed that he is
well up in his specialty. He ie invited to judge in a Bhow.
the management having no positive assurance of his possess-
ing the qualities to fit him for the duty it asks him to as-
sume. Fractically it is "guess work" iu his case. If he
makes a success, well and good. But such random Beleotions
are more often unfortunate than otherwise. The debutante
is more than likely to "slaughter his classes" and diBgust al-
most all exhibitors who come before him, except, of course,
those who take the bine ribbons. And every one of experi-
ence knows how irreparable the damage which one such
judge will do, especially if the show he is acting in is a small
one. When bench show managements exact of their judges
the reasons of their awards in writing — it being known to
them that the same are for publication— the number of ex-
periments in the ring will be decidedly less than now, for the
aspirant for such honors will not be likely to assume the re-

sponsibilities tendered him unless he iB quite certain he can
bear them with credit to himself.

America is favored with a number of publications, devot-
ing much space to kennel news. In the more prominent
ones we find quite exhaustive reports of all important bench
showB, together with comments upon the various awards.
Asia well known, it is by uo means the rule for the repoitera
to agree as to the justice of said awards. Theaverage exhib-
itor is. in consequence, often left in a fog, and not infre-
quently we find one not only bewildered bnt disgusted by
what he feels is the lack of any sure means of determining
the relative merits of does. Of course the innovation which
I suggest will not obviate the difficulty, but it certainly will
contribute somewhat toward a happier state of affairs", and
the judgo and his critics — who now have fiim at a disadvan-
tage— will be more on an equality.

And so I might go on pointing out the advantages of such
a rule as I have proposed, but it is unnecessary. Consider-
ing the matter fairly, and even but hastily, I think there can
be but one verdict, and all will agree that we should exact
from our associate clubs certified reports of their judges, the
same to contain their reasons for making the awards.

The request of the Richmond County Pet Stock Association
to have its name changed to the 'Georgia Pet Stock Associa-
tion," in compliance with their charter, was granted on
motion of Mr. Anthony.

Communications received from Mr. Amory R. Starr, ask-
ing for the amendment of the rules governing registration in
the Btud book were, on motion, reterred to the Stud Book
Committee.

The communication from Mr. Andrew Laidlaw, asking for
the disqualification of Halket P. Rennie and the Spaniels
WoodBtock Belle and Giffee, was referred to the Advisory
Committee.

A communication was also read from Mr. H. T. Foote,
appealing for special action on the part of the American Ken-
nel Club overruling Rule 5, and accepting the winning* of
his two bitches Moersbook Maiden and Meersbrook Girl,
which were exhibited nnr?er wrong names.

On motion the vote adopting the report of the Stud-book
Committee was re-considered, and the Stud-book Committee
was instructed to rectify the records of the dogs in question,
and to credit Meersbrook Maiden with the awards she won
while shown under the Dame of Meersbrook Girl by mistake,
and the same in regard to Meersbrook Girl.

Moved and seconded that that portion of the Secretary's
report relating to a committee to re-arrange the Bench Show
rules, and publish the same in Octoter issue of the Gazette,
the same being the proper thirty day's notice, as provided
for in the Constitution; be adopted.

Carried.

The Chair appointed Messr3. F. R. Hitchcock, A. D. Lewis
and T. H. Terry as that committee.

The application of the Continental Club of Denver was
read, and on motion laid over until next meeting, on account
of not complying with the rules.

Mr. Peshall's communication, asking that the minutes of
July 2Sd, 1888, be corrected, was, on motion, orJered on file,
and that the minutes of July 23d and September 12th, 1888;
at whioh Mr. Peshall was present, should stand as now re-
corded. The following was read : —
"A. P. Vredenburgh, E q , Secretary A. K. C.

Dear Sir, — I desire to make the following motion: As the

REFFRRED TO THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

Mr. Watson asked the Secretary if he had heard anything
from the Rochester Kennel Club in regard to his protest,
whioh was acted upon at the July meeting. The reply being
in the negative, the matter was referred to the Advisory Com-

Mr. M. D. Walter the trainer will probably start for Bskers-
field with hie field trial string this week. Mr. Walter has in
training several of the superbly bred Llewellins frcm tbeCali.
fornia Kennels, which can be relied upon to make a brilliant
Bhowing. There ia also in the string a young red bitch by
Kaeding's Duke out of California Belle. The bitch Countess
is said to Bhow the hard sense of her dam on birds, and
to possess the carriage, pace and style of her sire. If so she
will likely be "amongBt 'em" when the money iB devided.

Among the names claimed this week by the California
Kennels is Leon for a Loadstone — Sweetheart pup. The
youngster was named after Mr. Leon J. Rose, Jr., and if the
dog proves half as game and staunch as the man be can't be
Btopped.

Mr. George Crocker has a pair of handsome Irish Reds in
the hands of George Allender for the coming Derby. Mr.
Crocker is pleased by the quality of his entries and expects
to be present at the trial to see them win. Still another red
is to run, handled by William De Mott. Four red setters
in a trial is a rare thing these days.

Admirers of Cocker and Field Spanielp are requested to
communicate with H. P. Rennie, of Oakland, concerning the
matter of organizing a olub under the name of the "Cocker

the prime movers in this direction, and no doubt the efforts
of the above named will prove successful.

A line from Captain H. E. Hamilton, New York City, in-
forms us that his dogs Brimstone and Count Fritz are lively

popular field trial leaders, and we hope may soon have the
luck to run dogs of his breeding to the front.

FRESNO.

The Twenty-first Agricultur.l District Meeting opened at
Fresno on Tuesday. Oo oar arrival there early io the morn-
iDg everything was lively. The town was already crowded,
and beds at a premium. On going out to the track the same
activity was manifest. A new grand stand was almost com-
pleted," the roofing being all that was necessary to complete
one of the m at perfect enclosures in the State, while further
down the track was the Driving Club private enclosure, to
which I was cordially invited. It is equal to almost any
Eastern private club house, the equipments and general
management being esceptional. Palo Alto, the Golden Gate
Stable, Kelly and Samuels, Harrison Bros., and many other
outside racing stables were there io great force, while the
local talent were well represented by such prominent horse-
men as Messrs. Siraube, Owens, Bowers, Heinlan and others.
The stock parade in the early morning was witnessed by a
large crowd. Mr. S. N. Stance led the-van, driving Baby S.,
a full sister to Babv Mine, and a three year old filly by Dex-
ter Prince hitched double to a light wagon, followed by his
well known Btallions, Clovis, Apex and Pasha, and after them
fifteen mares, yearlings and colts from his breeding farm.
Mr. J. H. Hamilton was up behind Albert, a son of Altamont
(2:301). The same owner had also a good looking Cleveland
stallion, Monk 376, by Grenadier 76 and the useful looking
Monarch by Elite "2659, two brood mares by Algoona, with
filly foals at their side by Clovis and Albert Tne thorough-
breds were represented by Jack Brady, Asa and others of the
Golden Gate Stable entries, while trotters, Perchrons, Clydes
and others brought up the end of the horse procession.
Cattle were represented by the Heilbron herds of short-horn
and Herefords, Messrs. Hall & Ferguson's Polled Angus {se-
leete 1 from the herd purchased from S. N Straube in the
spring). The California Pastoral and Agricultural Company's,
Thornton's herd and Mr. Berry's Polled cattle, and after the
parade the Hon. P. D. Wiggintou, in a long and very in-
structive address, opened the fair, and racing started imme-
diately afterwards. The programme consisted of three races
— a district two-year-old trot, the 2:20 class and a mile dash
for runners. The first was easily won by Mr. Btraube's
Lizzie Thome, while in the 2:20 Palo Alto was given first
money to Btay out, and Alfred S. won all his own way, going
the last heat in 2:18, the best mile ever made on the track.
The mile dash was won by Oro, who was admirably rid-
den by Barton.

Two-year-old Trotting.
First Heat— Tool selling fluctuated a good deal, Nellie
Boyd eventually selling favorite at $20 to $5 each for Lizzie
Tborne, Stella B. and the field. A good deal of time was
lost owing to the fraction a ness of the youngsters. When the
bell was tapped Lizzie Thorns and Nellie Alta went to the
front, closely followed by Nellie Boyd, who, however, broke
oo the turn and fell in the rear. Nellie Alta and Lizzie
Thome kept together to the half, whera the former skipped,
and Thorne broke badly, being passed by El Pastore, who
closed gradually on the leader and was only three lengths
behind at the head of the stretch, and trotting very steadily,
went past Nellie Alta at the seven furlong post and won as
he pleased by five lengths, the rest strung out. Time, 2:54£.
Second Beat— The field sold readily for $20 to Thorne $6
Stella $5 and Boyd $3. Havey, who was up behind Stella,
was going well when the bell tapped and led Thorne three
lengths to the half when Marvin sent the latter up to him,
and going past in easy style was never afterwards headed,
winning as he pi a^ed by tea lengths. Stella beat El Pastore
half a length for second place afterahard finish. Time, 2:54f,
Third Heat — Lizzie Thorne was now made a hot favorite at
$20 to the whole field $12. The word was given with the
favorite off her feet and badly tangled up, and seemingly out
of the race, but, catching at the first turn, she Bettled down
and trotting magnificently, was only two lengths behind
Stella at the quarter, and passing her down the backstretch,
won handily by four lengths from El Pastore, Stella third)
she having broken badly at the drawgate. Time, 2 53,

First Heat — Before the first heat Alfred S. sold for §50 to

scoring Junio who had the pole cut out the work a length in
front of Alfred S. who went up to him on the backstretch
and with Hickok evidently satisfied, Alfred was pulled back
nntil well in the homestretch when he went past and won in
a jug three lengths in front of Junio, Emma Temple five fur-
ther back. Time, 2;26£.

Alfred sold for $30 to the tield So, and after Booring twice
Hickok went away half a length in front of Janio and hold-
ing the gelding back led the stallion a length until well in
the stretch, when Temple who had been going easy five
lengths back closed up and with Junio leaving his feet at
the drawgate the mare driven out went under the wire a
length behind Alfred. Time, 2:22.

Third Heal— Ho pooh could be sold and Hickok turned
Alfred loose; immediately the word was given Alfred S. went
out and trotting in splendid style had a seven lengths lead at
the half in 1:10, and went right along, finished the full mile
iu 2:18. Temple drew up to Jucio on the turn and the stal-
lion going all to pieces in the last fifty yardB he was beaten

ly opened a gap of three lengths which she kept to the'head of

WEDNESDAY.

The weather was again very enjoyable, quite a good crowd
taking advantage of it appeared on the track in the afternoon
to see the races. The first race, a half mile and repeat (extra
race), was practically a walk-over for Kitty Van, ridden by
Hazlitl, who could have won in straight heats had he so
willed. SuBie S. did not move with her old free, easy Btyle
of going, and was unable to race with the three-year-old any
part of the way. The two-year-old race had only two starters,
and Bayard could never exercise Jessie C. The 2:35 trotting
was soon seen to be a gift for Stoneman, a big six-year-old
gelding who, after allowing Daybreak — who waB rigged up
with hobbles— to take the first heat, won the next three easily,
the best time being 2:31.

McHngh unnecessarily punished Daybreak in the last two
heats with no possible chance of winning. Ales was declared
distanced in the second heat, but certainlyhewaRiuside when
the flag fell. The three-year-old race was deemed a certainty
for Theodosia, and had she not broken in the third htat, it
would have betn finished there, bnt the break was bo bad
that Marvin never drove her for the heat, and the race had
to be postponed.

Half Mile and Repeat.

Four starters turned out, and the betting was very lively.
Susie S. readily sold favorite, but Kitty Van was plunged on
by the talent until at the finish. She sold for $25 to Susie S.
$30, and the field $7. They were delayed at the post for
Borne time, owing to Susie S.'s saddle requiring fixing. When
the flag dropped Kitty Van rushed to the front with Ida
Glenn second and Susie third. Kitty went right away, lead-
ing five open lengths round the turn, and with Hazlitt sitting
still, won by three lengths. Susie came past the other two
and beat Ida Glenn half a length for second place. Boltoo,
four lengths back, last. Time, 0.-49J.

Second Heat — Kitty Van was plunged heavily on at $40 to
$18 for the whole field. After the two-years-olds had run,
they came ont for the second heat. A long and vexatious
delay took place, caused by Bolton, who would not break
away when the flag fell. Susie S. and Kitty Van got well
away, with Bolton three lengths back. Susie S. went out for
the heat, and led three leogtns at the first turn, Hazlitt hold-
ing Kitty Van back, was third at Lhe head of the stretch,
where he cime up to the leaders, but never moving on her,
was beaten a length. Time, 0:50.

Third Heat— Pools sold Flowly at $40, Kitty Van to $10
Susie. When the flag fell. Kitty was quickly on her feet, and
soon had the inside berth a length and a half in front of
Susie, and though the latter drew up to her on the turn,
Hazlitt came away again, winning cleverly by a length and a
half. Time, 0:49.

forty yards in front of the other pair at the first turn; both
the latter having broken badly, the two leaiern drew farther

skipped before the turn, but caught well, and led the mare a
lm«th at the quarter when she broke, and bucking for

cles who broke, never losing much though, six times before
the wire was reached, with the mars three lengths in front

Second Heat— The trio were started evenly but Owens
evidently under a misapprehension, palled up, and Theodo-

sia was fifty yards iu front when he was going again. The
mare trotted home without a break at her leisure, winning
by twenty yards. Time, 3:00.

dopia broke before the turn, and having to be palled to a
standstill was not persevered with, Marvin getting ber well

San Lui8 Obispo Fair.

Thursday there were two thousand people on the fair
grounds, and considering the number of horses in the stalls.
the time made was poor. The trot for three-year-old stal-
lions was uninteresting, as Claremont was considered too
fast for Monroe S. Claremont ia a beautiful sorrel gelding
by McGinnia; both horses are owned at the Piedra Blanca
Kancho, owned by Senator Hear3t. Claremont won the race
in two straight heats.

The secood race was a half-mile and repeat running race,
in which were entered Ella Hill, Kitty C. and Bondout.
They were sent off to a giod start, Kitty C. took the lead at
the quarter post and wo a easily, Ella Hill second, Rondont
third.

Second heat was a repetition of the first. Pools sold: Ella
Hill ©10 and the field $5. Kitty C. taking the n'rBt heat did
not change the betting.

The next race was a mile dash. A great deal of money
changed hands in this race. Cassino sold for $3, Wonder
$4, Boy Jesse $2, Go-as-you-please $1 and Fox $1. The
race was won by Boy Jesse after a hard struggle, Little
Casino running very closely to the winner all the way. Whip
and spurs were used freely, bat Boy Jesse finished first by
a neck.

Thursday morning the farmers exhibited their horses, c ittle
and jacks. The thoroughbreds exhibited by the Piedra
Blanca Rancho were fine looking youngsters. Gertrude is a
beautiful filly three years old; she was foaled io Australia.
Mr. Van Gordon remarked that her dam Geraldine never
bred a colt that has lost a race. She got the blue ribbon,
and Minniola, from the earns ranch, received the blue ribbon
for a two-year-old thoroughbred. Sidney and Sacramento
were a'so awarded premiums, and "Old Nick" by Electioneer,
received blue ribbon as a buggy horse; he baa a record of
2:23. Piedra Blanca also exhibited a span of sorrel gelding*.
silver tails and manes. Race "Warden was awarded secoud
prize for his pair of black geldings that make a fine carriage
team.

Fred Arnold, by Nephew, dam Fanny Fern by Jack Haw-
kins, was awarded first premium nnder the standard-bred
stallions. Fred Arnold is a coal black, fifteen and three-quar-
ter hands high. As a three-year-old he won a six-heat race
against aged horses, making a record of 2:37£. As a four-
5 ear-old he won a seven-heat race, trotting io 2:30]. At San
FraDcisco, June, 1S85, be beat Blaine, 2:28J, and Nighttime.
2:29], race of two-mile heats, trotting the fifth heat in 5:10!
At the Salinas Fair, fall of 1885, he trotted a six heat race,
winning the second, third aud sixth heats. Fred Arnold is
gamey and an easy stidlion to handle. H. D. Albright, the
owner of Fred Arnold, also exhibited a draft stallion Pride,
to which was awarded the first premium. The exhibition of
Holsfein cattle by E. W. Stelle was creditable, and so was
the Jersey herd exhibited by Bier Bros.

The first race on Thuisday was a surprise to the talent.
Befoie the race everybody argued that the pacer Little Shiimp
was too speedy for the trotter. Pools sold: Fred Grant $1U,
Little Shrimp $10, Promise $4, Prince B. $3. The driver of
Prince B. could not handle his gelding; he had the poor
horse checked up so high that it was impossible to see where
he was stepping. The four horses were sent off to a good
start. Little Shrimp went to the lead and passed the quarter
in 0:40, to the halt in 1:19. He was taken up around the
turn, and he came home an easy winner in 2:44.

The second heat was a repetition of the first. Pool-buyers
of Prince B. complained of the driver, and the driver was
changed. The horse's check was lowered, and the horses
came out for the tbirJ heat. Everybody cheered Prince B.t
for in scoring he showed more speed than the others. The
horses were sent off to the poorest start that I ever witnessed
on a track. Prince B. was almost to a standstill when the
horseB weie tapped off, but he went at a thirty gait, and on
the backstretch he collare 1 the pacer, and Boon passed him.
The lit'le pacer tired, aud Prince B. came home an easy win-
ner. The pools took a great chop, Prince B. bringing $10
against all the rest for $6. The fourth heat was an easy one
for Prince B. He took the lead and was never headed, and
he jogged nnder the wire in 2:40£.

The fifth heat was also an easy race for Prince B. The
winner is a large, thickset, buckskin gelding nine years old,
and is by Brilliant. He has been in traiuing three week0.
Before his training began, he has been driven in a delivery
wagon. The horse promises to be another hay-seed.

The next race was a trotting race, and the talent were again
disappointed. Pools sold: Bonner $5, Duke $3, Diamond
S3, Adjutant $2. Diamond won the race almost in a walk.
The people from Santa Maria and Arroyo Grande yelled
hemselves hoarse .

Pools Bold: Diamond $10, and the restfor $5. Theeecond
heat was interesting. On the backBtrttch Diamond made a
bad break, and Banner took the lead, followed closely by
Duke McClellan. Bonner broke around the turn, and the
Duke led by three leogtbs when they straightened fur home.
Bonner made a good effort for the heat, and only lost it by a
neck.

Pools again changed: Bonner $5, Duke $5, field $3.

The six hundred yards and repeat race was sandwiched
after their heat. Sid Lon was such a favorite that no pools
were sold in this race. Sid Lou won the first heat easily.

The trotters were brought oat again apd started fur the
third heat. The race was between Bonner and the Doke all
the way, bnt Duke McClellan got first under the wire by
three or four inches. The races was then postponed till the
next day. The runners were again brought out, ana Round-
out won the second heat, and this race was posponed.

At 1 :30 on Friday the unfinished trot was called. The
fourth heat was won by Bonner, and the fifth and race by
Dnke McClellan.

Tbe unfinished run was then called and Rondont wdu the
third heat and race. Lid Law Becond money.

ted dodgers around town to the effect that the association
had opened parses for saddle horses of $150, and that he,

Geo. C. Smith, had a mare that could trot in 2;25, and Flora
G. coold trot as fast, if not faster, aod that they conld not
trot for a purse less than 5300. Mr. Smith telegraphed to
bis friends in Santa Maria that his mare Topsey would not
trot. The directors of the association were so indignant that
they suspended Mr. Smith and Topsoy for six months. Mr.
Smith claims that thev have no power to saspend him, as he
had no contract to trot his mare, and lie knew his fiiends
were coming a long ways to see the mare trot and that he
had a j'ist right to get out his dodgers. :

The races at San Luis Obispo were ended by a trot, and
the novelty of one mile and a quarter; $25 for each quarter.
The trotting race was the best of the week, the horses all
contesting for each heat desperately. Pools sold, Allen L,
$10, Lena H, $1$, Acrobat (pacer) Si. Allen L took the lead
after they passed the first quarter, which was made in 0:39.
To the half Allen L. went in 1:15. He was driven clear
outside around the turn, and he c*me home an easy winner
in 2:34.

The second heat was won by Acrobat and the other three
by Lena H., that proved the best slayer. Allen L. and
Acrobat would tire on the homestretch. The novelty race
was uninteresting as Othello was a large favorite for the J, 1
and 1£. The first quarter was woi by Wild Bill in 0:25, the
half by Kitty C , and the rest were easily won by 0 thello who
loaned in as he liked ranning the mile \} io 2:20).

The judges doing the work were J. H. Hollister, Leu "War-
den and Geo. Van Gordan.

The Almont Family.

One of the great features of the Fairlawn dispersal sale will
be the seventeen Almont mares that will then pass under the
auctioneer'3 hammer. It now seems certain that Almont will
prove to be the great sire of trotting dams. He has now
seventeen daughters that have put twenty performers in the
list. At the same age Mambrino Fatchen was the sire of
thirteen dams of sixteen performers. Thus age for age he is
the sire of fonr more dams of four more performers than
even the great Mambrino Fatchen himself. He is also the
sire of M sous that have put 109 or 110 performers on the
list, and every week is adding largely to the number. His
percundity is absolutely astounding. There is no parallel to
it in the history of the trotting horse. We give below a list
of the sons of Almont that have made additions to tho 2:30
list this year, with the names and records of the new per-

dont't believe that is possible. It does not seem to me that ao true, brave and noble an anima' as a horse

who does a kind act for the horse family, and for that re»son, if for no other, I take the opportunity of
thanking you for having Invented * medicine that brings as much comfort to them aa I am sure your
CELEBRATED TABLETS do. Mr. Wra. McClosaon, the foreman of my stable, tr-lla m* that he has never

Gentlemen* : — Vfe have used OSSIDINJE for the past two years,
and consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone, and
Spavins ; there is nothing equals it : and for us it effected a permanent
cure where firing failed, although performed by one of the most suc-
cessful veterinarians on the continent. We have recommended it to
others with like success, and believe it lias more merit than any blister
ever used. Very respectfully yours,

S. A. BKO WNE & CO., Prop's.

SUNOL-Three-Year-Old Beeord 2:13 3-4

It is very appropriate in the present number to present
once more to onr readers a likeness of Sunol, who now stands
at the head of the three-year-old class for speed, the mile she
compassed at Fresno, stamping her as the greatest three-year-
old that ever lived, especially when it is taken into considera-
tion that one of the quarters on that coarse i3 a very slow
one, owing to the Band which predominates. The account
of the race in which Bnnol made her remarkable time is
clearly given by one of onr correspondents in another col-
umn, so we will describe Sunol in the words of Leslie E.
Macleod, assistant editor of Wallace's Monthly.

Electioneer has furnished many stars in the juvenile trot-
ting-world, but none has attracted tne attention that is being
Bhowered upon Sunol, the great two-year-old. She is gener-
ally regarded as the brighest star in her sire's radiant clusteri
she has increased the value of a whole family manifold, and
in the light of her glory they enjoy reflected fame. Her per-

formance is perhaps the most wonderful on record; aDd
though, in view of the uncertainties of the turf, it is idle to
speculate upon the future, she has perhaps as good a chance,
if it is uot destroyed, of surpassing the record of Maud S.
as any animal now before the public. Be that as it may, her
prominence is already great enoagh to warrant us in giving
a somewhat particular account of her. She was bred at Palo
Alto, and was got by Electioneer, out of Waxana, by Gen.
Benton. Wasana's dam was Waxy, a racing-bred mare, re-
puled to be by Lexington. Waxana is a large chestnut mare
of excellent form, a handsome, expressive head, and of gen-
eral marked character. Sunol has developed into a filly that,
if she had no reputation, would attract notice for her peculiar
shape and rare finish. She has a? exquisitely handsome a
head and neck as ever was striven ;for on the painters' can-
vas. The beautiful lines on which they are chiseled, and
their delicate finish, make Sand's fore-featares imperial in
their beauty. The shoulder is prominent, running obliquely
to a rather'low and smoothly-turned wither that is carried
well back. Her depth through the heart region and the for

mation of the chest give the requisite lung and heart capacity-
It is iu her rear formation that the peculiarity exists. She is
remarkably "high behind."

There appears a greater proportionate difference in her
height at the withers and over the quarter than the figures
show, or than we ever observed in any other animal. She is
15 2 hand high forward and 1C hands high behind. We
have alwayB considered this the most favorable formation for
speed — have never admired prominent withers, and the form
of Aland S,, Sunol and many others, bear oat the preference.
Electioneer is himself on this order of structure, Snnol is jast
slightly inclined to be roach-backed, but she is closely and
strongly coupled. The lower Hoe of her barrel is, one might
say harmonious with her back. That is it runs high at the
flank, and while she is not light-waiated, still she has the
most greyhoundish appearance imaginable in a horse.

Her croup is rather short, and the incline of the quarter
is sharp, and the slope very noticeable. The pacing confor-
mation is here closely approaohed. Thffcombii ogtb of
the quarter and leg is exceptional. If yc torn
the point of the hip to the whirl-bone, fi

stifle, and thence to the hock, we think the aggregate length
of the lines forming these angles will much esceed, in pro-
portion toother parts, a similar measurement of any horse
we have ever seen. The quarters are muscular, the legs
stoat and strong to the hocks and knees, which are faultless,
and the cannons are rarely good. The pasterns are not un-
usual in leDgth or slope, and the foot is a good average
one.

Notwithstanding her sensitive nerves, Sunol has no dispo-
sition to breakwhen trotting. She has an easy, stealing gait,
tacking her hind legs well ap under her, and going very
close. She carries the lighest of shoes and no toe-weights.
The toe-weight has no place among the appliances used in
educating trotters at Palo Alto. Sunol is now sound and
clean as a dollar, to all appearances; and thongh it is possi-
ble she has not the flight of Manzanita, whose capacity was
equal to a quarter in thirty seconds unless she haB some of
the ill-fortune that prevented that great mare acquiring a rec-
ord that would adequately measure her speed, the prospect
is rosy for the daughter of "Wasana heading the roll of the E-
lectioneers with a very low figure.

THURSDAY.

There was quite a big day in front of everyone on Thurs-
day, what with cattle judging, the balloon ascent, the prize
babies, ladies' riding tournamentand racing in the afternoon.
The judges' stand was tinged with crape in memoriam of F.
H. Hamilton, who only the preceding day was in the stand,
and whose sad death cast such a gloom over the day's pro-
ceedings, for in him Freano lost one of her most popular and
most generous citizens, his courtesy and kindness to the vis-
itors, and particularly the members of kthe Press, and myself
personally, can never be forgotten.

The babie?, eight in number, were judged by Messrs. S. N.
Straube, George Brown, F. H. Calderwood and J. E Ryan.
The first prize was given to a three months old boy, Ezekiel
Lewis, Marguerite "Warrener second, and Alice Gotten third.
The judges at once left the scene to attend to their other
duties. The Equestrienne tournament did not fill as well as
had been expected, bat although only two ladies turned out,
the ease and graoe with which they rode, made up for the ab-
sence of the others. Mrs. R. "W. Famish was awarded first
prize, the Examiner saddle, etc., and Miss Leona Burnside
second^ The latter rode very well and gracefully, with a firm
easy seat, and but for an unfortunate accident in which her
horse reared and fell over baokwards, the judges' position
would have been as awkward as was Paris'. Mr. Ed Felton.
of the Breeder axd Sportsmax, although slightly bashful,
made the announcement from the stand in flowing language.
The descent from the balloon by Joe Van Tassell was very
successful, the asronaut and his parachute alighting a yard
or two of where he started. The attendance all
day was exceptionally good. The unfinished race was called
up at once, but fully an hour elapsed before the three-year-
olds were started. Theodosia, despite a bad break, won as she
pleased. The 2:30 class was generally conceded a certainty
for Lorita, who was handled by Orrin Hickok, who had
leased her for the Fresno trip, the confidence reposed in the
six-year-old daughter of Piedmont was not misplaced, for
Atto Rex who was dead lame had no show, although he took
one heat, while Express was not steady enough. The Raisin
Handicap was put down as a good thing for Hello, and nice-
ly placed by Narvice, he came through in the last quarter,
and won cleverly. S. N. Straube's good looking Apex filly,
frightened all opposition in the yearling trot, and the local
two-year-old runners finished the programme, twolConfidence
youngsters running one, two, Little Confidence winning
easily.

The fourth heat of the unfinished three-year-old race was
called up at 1 o'clock, but it was after 2 before they were
started, Oliver B. breaking every time before the wire was
reached. When the bell was tapped Oliver B. broke and
dropped back. Theodosia broke before the tarn, but catch
ing, trotted well, and at the half was level with Oliver B.,
five lengths behind Pericles. Oliver went up, and fell away
back, while Theodosia went slowly but surely up to Pericles,
beiog level on the turn, and with the latter breaking badly]
drew away, wiuniog easily by seventy yards , Oliver B. just
inside the flag. Time 2:50.

First Heat — Loriia was made a big favorite, being steadily
backed until the start at S40 to $25 for Atto Rex and $16
for Express. "When the trio were tapped off Lorita was a tri-
fle in front. Expre3B left his feet before the first turn was
made, and spoilt his chanoe for the heat. Atto Rex went
rather lame, and Lorita had a five lengths' lead at the first
quarter, with Express six lengths farther back. Hickok kept
Lorita moving, and was never collared, winning as he pleas-
ed by six leDgths. ExpresB trotted the last half well, and
with Atto Rex breaking at the drawgate, beat him three
lengths for the place. Time 2:28.

Second Heat — Lorita sold a still bigger favorite at $70 to
Express $27, aud Rex §17. The word was given after three
scores, Lorita going out a length and a half in front of Rex,
who was a length clear of Express. The trio went very
smoothly to the quarter when Marvin shook Express up and
passed the pair, leading a length lound the uDper turn. At-
to Rex six lengths back last. Lorita went up to Express in
the stretch, and carrying him to a break won readily by two
lengths. Time, 2:27.

Third Heat—LovitA now sold readily for $40 to the field
S5, and wnen the bell was tapped had a shade the worst of
it. Marvin sent Express away at a good clip and soon had
two lengths the best of the others, and going very steadily up
the backstrutch was rive lengths in front of Lorita at the up-
per turn, and although he broke, tamed into the stretch fear
lengths in front, bat tiptoeing for a hundred yardB went up
at the eighth pole, and Rex coming with a wet sail beat Lo-
rita two lengths for the heat. Time 2:27.

The fourth heat was not productive of any betting. Lorita
went out first and had things all her own way, winningeasily
by five lengths from Rex, who was the same distance in
front of Express. Time, 2:23.

The mile and a quarter was one of the heaviest betting
races of the week, Hello being an even money favorite at
$100 to Brady $50, Oro §40 and Manzanita §10.

There was a long delay at the start,- and when the flag
dropped to a good send off, Manzanita was rushed to the
front and passed the Btand a length in front of Oro, with
Brady pulling double two lengths back, and Hello last. Man-
zanita had shot his bolt and retired after the first turn, drop-
ping back last, while Oro took up the running, and Brady,
being given his head, raced up to him at the half, and the
pair went round the turn two lengths in front of Hello.
When the stretch was reached Narvice moved up on Hello,
and getting in front at the drawgate, won cleverly by three
lengths, Brady and Oro making a dead heat for the place.

FRIDAY.

The announcement that Sanol and Palo Alto would at-
tempt to beat their records had the effect of bringing a much
larger gathering to the track. The two Palo Alto cracks had
been going so well in their work that hopes were entertained
that one or the other would lower their record. The track
was smoothed over at 1 o'clock and seemed fairly fast, but
not more bo than usual, the last quarter being slow (too mach
sand). Marvin came out at a quarter past one with Sanol, a
parse of $250 being offered if she conld beat her record of
2:16£. After moving her slowly round the track and scoring
up twice Marvin nodded for the word with the three-year-old
trotting fast. The first quarter was made in :32£ and trot-
ting like a piece of well regulated machinery, the mare kept
up the pace. At the three furlongs Mr. Straube's runner
joined in but stayed a length behind, while the mar6 kept up
her terrific barBt of speed, passing the half in 1:05 J, and trotting
steadily round the turn was joined by the runner. When the
head of the stretch was reached in l:38i the splendid daugh-
ter of Electioneer was Btili going well; half way down the
straight she faltered in the deep sandy going, but Marvin
kept her down, and using the whip freely the mare came
again and finished strongly, going under the wire in 2:13|.
Cfieers and shout6 of applause rent the air, for every one
knew she had beaten 2:16. When the time was huDg out
they were renewed, and thongh under a misapprehension it
was at first hung out as 2:14, the timers immediately had it
alreied. Messrs. S. N. Straube, A. Gonzalez and E. B. Giff-
ford held the official watches. When the time was first hung
oat as 2:14 two of the timers at once went up to the judges'
stand and stated they had made the time 2:13?, and their col-
league had been too hasty. The judges' watches also made it
2:13|, while a dozenoutside watches also made it 2:13|. Har-
ry Agnew, who stood nest me. canght her at the first quarter
and stopped at the wire ia 1:41J. All who had split seconds
caught the first quarter in 32£ seconds. Marvin at once brought
Palo Alto out, but as he went decidedly lame he was only given
one heat, going to the half in 1:06 J, but when he struck the
sand he left his feet in a bad break, and did not catch for
forty yards, and then trottiDg fast again finished the full mile
in 2:15. Marvin did not wiBh to risk the stallion again, so he
was not brought out for another heat. The other races were
a three-quarter dash, one-fourth mile and repeat and a special
pacing.

Six Furlongs.

Welcome and Oro divided favoritism, Oro generally having
the call. The last pool sold Oro $52£, Welcome $50, Spring-
water and Bay Bolton, as a field, $8" After half an hour's
delay the flag fell to a fairly good start, the two field horses
making the pace with Oro and Welcome two lengths behind
to the head of the stretch, when Oro came up on the inside
and Welcome on the outside, and soon passing the leaders,
ran a hard race home. Welcome, who ran none too kindly,
was beaten a neck by Oro, Springwater six lengths back
third. Time 1:16.

Pacing.

There was very little betting on the pace at Mink §20 to
the field $8. When the bell was tapped Doo went away well,
bnt Birdie broke badly, being quite a hundred yards back,
when she settled down. Doc led Mink by two lengths all the
way, winning by the same. Birdie was distanced, x'ime, 2:26.

Second Heal — What little betting was done was at the same
rate Mink 520. Doo SB. The bell wag tapped the first time,
Doc again setting the pace and going Bteadily was four
lengths in front at the quarter. Mink gradually closed up
and passing him in the stretch, won easilv by two lengths.
Time, 2:26.

Third Heat— There was no pool selling now; Mink with a
leDgth the best of it went round the turn, but breaking at

| the half was a length behind, and pacing steadily was level
at the head of the stretch, winning by threa lengths, lime
■ 2:27£.

The race was then postponed to Saturday.
Saturday.

The unfinished pacing race was called up at one o'clock,
and the pair were soon sent away, Doc leading four lengths
when the quarter was reached, Hellman drove Mink hard
and caught Doc at the drawgate, bat breaking was beaten two
lengths. Time, 2:25.

With both horses having two heats in the beBt betting that
could be obtained was $6 for Doc to §25 Mink. Doc made
the pace to the quarter, when Mink went past him and won
as he liked by forty yards. Doc was badly pumped out and
stopped fast. Time, 2:23.

first heat was very pretty, Emma Temple^ and Don Tomas
keeping together all the way round, the gelding winning by a
neck. Time, 2:29J. J

When they came out for the second heat a few pools were
sold at $30 for Emma Temple and $6 for Don Tomas. The
pair made a very pretty race to the drawgate when the geld-

The quarter mile dash catch weights had four starters,
Black Bess getting up in the last few strides and winning bv
a head. Time, 0:24f.

A mile and an eighth over four hardies was the next event
on the programme. Jack Pot was made favorite and won,
though Sir Ladd was much the best fencer, gaining three or
four lengths every jump. O'Brien rode Ben Harrison and
got him round the track about a minute after the other two.

The meeting wound up with a seven furlong dash with
four starters. Betting varied a good deal. Asa was installed
favorite the night before, but when they appeared on the
track Manzanita was favorite for a while and eventually Isa-
bella and Blain, as a field, sold a big favorite, bringing $70
to $30 for Asa and $20 for Manzanita. When the flag fell to
a fairly good start Manzanita and Blain were ruBhed to the
front, Hazlilt and Myers, on Asa and Isabella, hard held,
ran together five lengths behind the leaders. Blain had
enough when the head of the Btretchwas reached, and as Asa
waB coming too faBt Hazlitt took a pull on her at the eighth
pole, and when she could not possibly win sat down the last
thirty yards and rode a brilliant finish for the place, finishing
three-quarters of a length behind MaDzanita.

The meeting was fairly successful all round, the trotting
being very good, Alfred S getting a record of 2:18, while on
Friday Sunol lowered the world's record, and though there is
not a shadow of a doubt that the peerless daughter of Elec-
tioneer and Wasana will lower it a second at the very least
before the fall meetings are through, it is a big thing for
Fresno that Axtell's record was beaten there. Hardly any one
thought the mare would go as fast, for the track was not as
fast as several we know, and nest year it is intended to have
more loam on it, which should cause a great improvement.
The Association have spared neither time nor money, and
will continue until they have the best track in the State.
Their grand stand, when completed, will be one of, if not the
best in California.

The eshibits were all round as good as any seen on a fair
ground. Thoroughbred classes were nearly all walk-overs,
while in standard trotters and roadsters S. N. Straobe was
easily first in almost every instance, Clovis, by Saltan, dam
Sweetbriar by Thorndale, out of Ulster Qaeen by Rysdyk's
Hambletonian, winning in the stallion class and also with
several of his progeny in the sweepstake. A good many of
Mr. Straube's were shown in the roadster class, owing to the
fact of their having too much thoroughbred in them to be
standard. Standard horses were judged by S. A. Clark, David
Bryaon and Porter Mickle. All other classes were judged by
W. Famish, Wm. Snow and Robert Hill. The Heilbron
herds were invincible, taking everything before them, the
Shorthorns being given the preference.

SANTA BARBARA.

Wednesday, October 2d. — There was a big crowd present
at the track to witness the stallion race. Everybody seemed
to take gteat interest in the race. The evening before the
race, Bashaw sold for $10, Bosewall for $6, and Electro $4.
At the raoe track, Bashaw sold for $10, and Bosewall and
Electro in the field for $1.

The first heat was at last announced. The three stallions
scored fully twenty minutes, and the longer they scored the
better became Bosewall's chances. At last the bell was Dot
heard, and t be clear, loud voice of F. S. Malone gave the
word "go." Bashaw led to the quarter in 0:39, to the half in
1:17}. Bosewell came up to biswheel, and the three quarter
pole was reaohed in 1:55, Electro four lengths behind. When
they turned towards home, Bashaw was given the whip,
aud with Bosewall laying up the heat, won easily. Time, 2:36.

After the usual twenty-five minutes, the stallions were
again brought out. They did a great deal of scoring. Bose-
wall scored very fast, and when they were sent off, they were
going very rapidly. Electro broke immediately after leaving
the wire, and ran, and Gus Walters, fearing a collision,
9i.ru ok Bosewall, who broke and ran, but immedi-
ately came down, trotting fast, reaching the quarter in 0:38,
Electro second, Bashaw third. To the half he went in 0:16£,
to tho three-quarter in 1:54, and almost walked under the
wire in 2:35, Electro second, Bashaw third.

Pete Doyle said: "Judges, I want to make a complaint."
F. 8. Malone answered: "It ia not neceB-ary; we Know all
about it."

The crowd surrounded the judge's stand. It was a great
eight to behold! To watch the expressions in each man's
face as he stood there looking up towards the judges. Not a
voice was heard! The noise, tumult and hurrahs of one
moment before were hushed, and only a low murmur was
heard, such a murmur as recollections of storm in mid-ocean.
At last the suspense was broken! The bell rang, and the
sonorous voice of the chosen judge from San Francisco, F. S.
Malone, announced the following severe and unjustdecision:
"Electro wins the heat, Bashaw second, Bosewall and driver
ruled off the track."

Not a word of complaint was heard. All seemed bewil-
dered, and only looked into one another's faces, and seemed
to ask, "Is it a fact? Will not Bosewall bo allowed to start?"
In twenty-tive minutes their anxiety waB gone. Bashaw and
Electro came up for the third heat. The inlerest in the raoe
was all gone. Bashaw won the next two heats as he pleased.
Time, 2:37, 2:39.

When the crowd realized the unjustness of the decision,
they beoame so chagrined that many feared trouble. The
bell was heard to ring once. F. S. Malone made the follow-
ing announcement: "After due consideration, we have decided
to re-instate Bosewall." Voices were heard to say: "After
the raoe is finished,"

The next race was a special race between Glenwood and
Fruesian Boy. In the pools Glenwood sold for $10, Prussian
Boy $6. ThefirBt and second heats were won by Glenwood.
After the second heat the judges decided pools and all bets
off, and the race a farce. Fete Doyle said to me the Frussian
was sick, and had been fed only on hay and bran for four or
five days. "The horse," he said, "is too sick, and he cannot
pace."

The next morning a meeting was held by the directors to
investigate Gus Walters' case. F. S. Malone stated in sub-
stance, that Bosewall's breaking and running had nothiDg to
do with his decision, but that he believed that Gus Walters
had maliciously and intentionally whipped his horse into a
run to take the pole, and thus win the heat.

I. K. Fisher, proprietor of Don Patricio, and a prominent
capitalist, was then heard, and his testimony was to the fact
that he was standing where he could see the horses, and that
he had seen no foul. A. F. McFhail testified to the same, and
so did several prominent men. The five directors voted to
re-instate Gus Walters, which was announced from the stand
Thursday.

THURSDAY.

The first race was a most interesting one Pools sold,
Comet $20, Gambo $10, field $4, in which were Ella Hill,
Joe Dandy and Lone Star. Many large bets were made,
even money that Gambo would beat Comet. Lone Star bad
the pole, Gambo 2nd, Comet 3rd, Joe Dandv fourth and Ella
Hill fifth.

The horses were soon sent off all in a bunch. Comet aDd
Gambo soon left the reBt. Around the turn Gambo was seen
suddenly to stop and fall back four lengths. All the other
horses passed him, bat on the homestretch he made a fight
for the leader, Comet, and under the wire Comet and Gambo
came head and head, but Comet had three or four inches the
better of Gambo, Ella Hill third, Joe Dandy fourth, Lone
Star fifth. Gambo's rider came to the stand and claimed that
Comet had fouled. He said that Comet crowded him
into the fence and that Gambo came near falling. He asked
if the judges would not go down to the turn and note the
foul. One of the judgeB went down and he reported that it
was evident that the horse was crowded into the fence. Mr.
Malone then said, * Let us declare it a dead heat and send the
other three horses to the stable," and so it was announced.
A prominent horseman sain, "It is a rank deoision. If a
foal were evident Gambo should have the race. Suoh a foul
cannot be admitted and then the heat decided a dead heat."

Comet and Gambo were again brought out, Comet having
the pole. They were sent off to a good start and they ran neott
and neck all around, but in the homestretch Comet drew
away and won by a length in 1:04J.

The next race was a three year old trot. Onlv two came to
the start, Tono and Bowdy. Tono sold for $20; Kowdy $5.
Rowdy had the pole.

Rowdy led in the first quarter in :39. Gambo moved up
aud Rowdy broke. Tono led to the half in 1 ;19, to the three-
quarters in 1:54, and jogged under the wire in 2:42*.

In the second heat Tono led all the way. They passed the
first quarter in :38£ like a double teamj to the half in 1:17,
when Rowdy broke aud Tono led to the three quarters in
1:59 aud home in 2:464

After the second heat Gus Walters came on the track driving
Don Patricio. It was announced that Don Patricio would be
driven a mile. The pool box was opened and bets were made
that Don Patritio would not beat 2:50. The stallion looked
well and moved gracefully. He has two hnndred pounds of
extra fleBb, yethe trotted easily, with no horse beside him to
urge him on, in 2:46

Tono and Bowdy came out for the third heat. The word
go was soon given. Bowdy led to the quarter in :39A, to the
half in 1:16 J, to the three-quarters in 1:58. Rowdy was trot-

Friday's racing.

Fully two thousand people were present to witness the last
day's racing of tne Santa Barbara Agricultural Association.
Great was the disappointment when it was understood that
Topsey could not start and that Bastian would not. So the
2:30 class waB contested only by Nigger Baby and May
Queen. Nigger Baby was so much faster than May Queen
that little interest was taken in the race.

The three-quarters and repeat was a walk over for Othello,
and in the special trot Saxton was too fast for the other
horses in the race.

The exhibition of fruits, farm products, minerals, merchan-
dise, etc., was the finest ever held here. The Santa Maria
and Lompoc exhibit was bewildering. The apples, peaches
and apricots from there were large, healthy and beautiful in
color. Lompoc apples cannot be surpassed. Below is a
partial list of the horB.es and mares and cattle that took pre-
miums.

Third Heat In 7:14.

THDESDAY.

The crowd upon the fourth day of the meeting was as
flattering to the association as the former days were discour-
aging. The programme was only fair.

Trotting, 2:40 Class.
The report began with the above event in which L. J.
Rose's Jr., b g Richmond, San Mateo Stock Farm's ch m
Una Wilkes, L J. Rose's blk m Moro, J. W. Jordon's b h C.
W. S. and G. T. Johnson's gr g Sargent started. Richmond
sold favorite in the poolB at $40, Una Wilkes second choice
at $14 and the held at $12.

First Beat— Alter three scores they got the word. Sargent
had the pole and swung around the first torn in the lead,
C YV S and Moro at his wheel, Richmond a length behind
them and Una Wilkes last. They remained in those posi-
tions to the second turn, except that Una Wilkes broke on
the backstretch and ran into second place. On the second
turn they strung out. Sargent first, Moro second, C W S
third, Una Wilkes fourth and Richmond fifth a length apart.
They entered the straight in that order and Moro began play
for the lead and pushed the grey hard, but she broke at the
drawgate and was out of it. From che head of the straight
home Richmond came very fast and when Moro broke he was
at her wheel and making for the leader, but he started too
late and the grey Sargent took the heat by two lengths,
Richmond second, C. W. S. third, Moro fourth, Una Wilkes
fifth. Time, 2:2$.

Second Heat — Richmond was still favorite, selling at $100
to $26 for the field, and $9 for Una Wilkes. The favorite
again disappointed them. He broke entering the turn and
dropped behind the crowd. Sargent went on in front with
C. W, S. at his wheel, Moro two lengths from them and Una
Wilkes in fourth place. Richmond cime up with a burst of
speed aB they entered the backstretch and got on even terms
witli Moro, when he broke again. They entered the second
torn strung out a length apart in the old order, Richmond
closing up. When they got into the straight, Sargent was a
length to the good. G. W. S. and Moro came after him and
Ricnmond began to close his gap but he went off his feet
again. G. W. S. was at Sargent's wheel, but running half
his time. Moro began to crawl up fast at the finish and she
stayed on her feet for once and snatched the heat by a head
from Sargent, C. W. S. a eloBe third, Richmond fourth. Time,
2:27.

Third Beat— Richmond still held his place as favorite, and
sold at §40 to $19 for the field, and $5 for Una Wilkes.
Tney got a beautiful start at the second attempt, and went
off with Moro in the lead and Sargent at her wheel. Moro
broke on the first turn, and fell back to third place. On the
backstretch the order was Sargent first, then C. W. S., Moro,
Richmond and Una Wilkes in the order named, an open
length apart. The positions were unchanged until they were
swinging into the straight, when Sargent and C. W. S. simul-
taneously broke, and Moro crowded up and came into the
straight a length behind tliem. She quickly collared both,
and was in front to near the drawgate, and then Richmond,
who was four lengths behind, came up with a burst of speed
which carried him by the others as if they were standing
still, and head and head with Moro he came to the wire, surg-
ing forward in the last length and winning from Moro by a
short head, C. W. S. third, Sargent fourth. Time, 2:29J.

Fourth Heat — No pools were sold; everybody being busy
with the nest event. They were sent away to a fair start,
Moro taking the lead, closely fol. owed by Richmond and C.
W. S. Ricnmond crowded up to Moro and went into the
backstretch a head in front of her, C. W. S. two lengths
behind them. Sargent was tired and no more in the race,
and Una Wilkes was acting badly, leaving the race to Rich-
mond and Moro, who went around the second turn like a
team, but Moro came into the straight slightly in front.
Richmond crowded her hard, hanging on to her wheel until
they reached the distance post, where he broke, and Moro
took the heat by half a length, Sargeot a poor third, C. W.
S. fourth, and Uoa Wilkes just inside her distance. Time
2:28.

Fijlh Heat—Johnny Goldsmith had to be fined $10 for
scoring ahead of the pole horse before they could get off. He
was out for the heat but couldn't get it. Moro went off in
the lead attended by Richmond, Una Wilkes in third pUce.
Richmond and Moro had the heat all to themselves. They
Btayed together until they reached the second turn, where he
drew away and led Moro into the straight by two lengths,
coming home as he pleased, and winning the heat by two
lengths, Moro second, Una Wilkes a poor third, C. W. S.
fourth, Sargent distanced. Time, 2:28."

Sixth Heat— According to rule, everything went to the
stable except Moro and Richmond. When they came out a
few pools were sold at $50 for Richmond and *$S for Moro.
Richmond took the lead at the start, and held it to the h'nish,
Moro staying at his wheel until they came into the Btraight^

break in the turn, and when she got down Alfred G wa* lead-
ing, Mary Lou in second place ten lengths away. Hazel trot-
ted very fast to make up the lost ground and at the half was
on even terms with Mary Lou, who was off her feet, and but
two lengths from Alfred G. Alfred broke jnst entering the
turn, but lost little. The mare continued to crawl up and
Alfred broke again entering the straight and she swung in
and started home ahead of him. He made still another bad
break. Hazel came home winner as she pleased, Mary Lou
getting in for Becond place, Alfred G third. Time 2:22|.

Third Heat. — Hazel took the heat and race. She went
around the turn with Alfred G at her head, Pink two lengths
behind them and Mary Lou last. Hazel went in front on the
backstretch and led Alfred by a length to the turn, where
he closed up to her head again and Pink and Mary Lou
moved up closer to them. Hazel was agaiD in front when
they entered the straight, the others on even terms behind
her. She came home easy and took the heat by two lengths.
Mary Lou, Alfred G and Pink had an exciting finish for sec-
ond place. Alfred G broke at the drawgate and Mary Lou
snatched Becond from Pink by a head. Time 2:23.

FEIDAY-

Another big, surging, sweating crowd was out upon the
fifth day of the meeting, a larger crowd than had been seen
upon any two previous days. The runners had the call
again, and for the last time of the meeting. The first event
of the day was a

Selling Purse, 1 1-16 Miles,

Matt Storn had in two starlerB, Fanny F, carrying 111
pounds, and Kildare 112, Billy Appleby started Wild Oats
with 112 pounds up. Wild OatB waB favorite in the betting
at ?25, Fanny F bringing $15 and Kildare $8. At the second
breakaway tney were given the flag. Kildare was in front,
Wild Oats at his flank and Fanny F at his heels. When they
got into the backstretch Kildare went out to make the pace, and
took a lead of two leDgtbs, Wild Oats and Fanny F running
together. They kept these positions until the stretch was
reached. Then Hitchcock called on Wild OatB, but he
couldn't respond. Fanny F waited until she reached the
drawgate, when she made her run and got to Kildare's h-ad,
and they went under nose and nose, a dead heat, with Wild
Oats three lengths back. Time 1:493-

The remainder of the programme was run off before Fanny
F and Kildare were called out for the run-off of the dead heat.
Pools were sold on the heat Fanny F $25. Kildare $20. The
flag went down with both horses moving head and head.
They ran nose and nose at a lively clip until they got well
into the straight, and then Morton, on Fanny F, began to
punish her. She crowded Kildare close into the fence and
got her head in front of him, and all the riding Morton could
do wouldn't shove her an inch further out, and she won by a
bare head. Time 1:52$.

SATURDAY.

San Jose's fair closed under much more encouraging cir-
cumstances than attended its opening. There was a large
crowd present, attracted by a really good programme. The
weather was not so intensely hot as it had been upon Thurs-
days and Friday, and the day was in consequence much
more enjoyable.

Trotting— 2:30 Class.

The Bport was begun with the above event, in which 3.
Cochran's ch m Alloretta, J. A. Goldsmith's ch m Nina D.t
B. C. Holly's b g San Diego, and John Green's b g Melrose
started In the pool-bos Alloretta was favorite at §40, Nina
D. bringing $25 and the field SIS.

First Heat — Nina D. had the pole, but when the bell tapped
after a number of scores, she was going on her toes, and as
they swung into the turn, Alloretta took the lead from ner,
and at the half Melrose made a run and took second place
from NiDa, and she contented herself with third. San Diego
was not in it. Melrose got to Alloretta's wheel on the second
turn, aad was crowding her on the straight when he broke,
and Alloretta lead him under the wire by two lengths, Nina
D. a poor third, San Diego fourth. Time, 2:28.

Second Heat— Pools opened: Alloretta $30, Nina D. $6,
field $7. Alloretta got away from the score in front, but in
the turn both she and Nina D. lost their fret, and San Diego
went to the quarter in first place, Nina D. second, Melrose
tnird. and Alloretta four lengths behind. Down the back-
stretch the favorite stayed behind, but in the Becond turn she
closed the gap at a fast clip, and entered the straight in front
of San Diego by half a length. Goldsmith brought Nina D.
up, and both of them gave Alloretta a race home, but in a
hard finish she beat San Diego out by half a length, and Nina
D. by a length. Time, 2:27.

Third Heat— The heat was an exact duplicate in every
feature of the second heat. Alloretta lead around the turn
but troke, and San Diego was first at the quarter, Nina D.
second, Melrose third, aDd Alloretta four lengths behind.
The positions were unchanged until they reached the second
turn, when Alloretta came up, passed them all, and came
down home to a close finish with San Diego, beating him ont
by a neck, Nina D. a close third, Melrose fourth. Time, 2:30.

First Heat.— There was a lot of scoring before they got the
word, and then they went off with Alfred G in front, Mary
Lou at his wheel, Hazel "Wilkes in a pocket behind them and
PiDk back two lengths. The positions were held to the quar-
ter, where Mary Lou lost her feet and Hazel Wilkes went up

kado 117. Daisy D. was a big favorite, selling for $60 to§32
for the gelding. In the first heat Daisy had a little the best
of thb go, but Mikado quickly came up to her neck and ran
with her to half way down the straight, when Daisy drew
away to a length lead and finished with both horses under a
pull in 1:15. When the pool bos opened, the Daisy D. peo-
ple went wild and ran the mare up until she brought $310
against $30 for Mikado. Thry came to the post, made one
breakaway and then got the flag with Mikado a neck in
front. Daisy caught him in the first 100 yards and they
ran to the head of the straight together. Mikado got the
whip there, but Daisy drew away from him a length and
came home under a pull, Mikado two lengths back very
tired. Time, 1:16}.

Special.
A special race was made up for Lillie Stanley, Gus Wilkes,
Ned Winslow and Frank. The betters fancied Lillie Stanley
as winner, and bought her for $25 to $11 for Ned Winslow,
and $10 for the field.

First Heat— The heat lay entirely between Lillie Stanley
and Ned Winslow. The pacer went to the front on the turn,
and was never headed, taking the heat by a length Gus
WilkeB third, Frank fourth. Time, 2:22.

Second Heal. Stanley was still favorite, bringing $30 to
$14 for Winslow and $5 for the field. Winslow again took
the lead and held it to the wire, staying two lengths in front

field. Stanley made a tangled break at the start and fell to
the rear of the crowd, Ned Winslow going around the turn in
front, Gus Wilkes second and Frank third, Gus Wilkes
broke on the backstretch and gave second place to Frank. He
hung on to Winslow all the way, getting up to him when in

Special Face.

Another one of the card's attractions was a special for
Adonis and Gold Leaf. The first beat was a corker. Gold
Leaf had the best of the go by a length, and went off that dis-
tance in front and led the horse without change to the mid-
dle of the second turn, where he began to close the gap, en-
tering the straight on even terms with her and passing her at
the I post, coming home easy three lengths in front in 2:14f.
There was no betting at all on the event. In the second heat
Gold Leaf broke going into the turn and was fifteen leDgths
behind Adonis when she got down, but Hickok held up for
her and she caught Adonis at the half. He led her by a
length into the straight. Then Andy gave her the whip but
she quit and Adonis got the heat in a jog in 2:21J. Adonis
took the third heat, leading the filly from start to finish and
coming home easy in 2:14. The last performance was greeted
with cheers from the crowd.

I cannot close the account of the fair without speaking of
the latest achievement of San Joe's enterprise— the Hotel
Vendome. Horsemen, owners, visitors, everjbody who atten-
ded the fair and had the good fortune to be a guest at this
palatial home, speaks in the "warmest praise of the house and
its directors and of the warm entertainment received there.
It is a house boilt and conducted upon the plan of the big
Eastern houses at the fashionable resorts, and a few more
like it would do California an immense amount of good.

My First Trotter.

Br tf A. Sykes.

A few months ago my health wa3 very poor. I waa afflict-
ed with sleepless nights, loss of appetite and a general sense
of depression; life was not enjoyable. (This is not going to
be an advertisement for Kostetter's Kesarrection Bitters, or
Quarner's Safe Dead Restorer, bat a round, unvarnished
horse story.) My doctor had prescribed nanseons drags,
blood-curdling baths, etc., bnt nothing seemed to benefit me,
when he struck upon an idea for which I can never be grate-
ful enough, to him. In a moment of inspiration he suggest-
ed that I should buy a good trotter and take long drives in
the open air. The idea took my fancy ot once, and I took
steps to procure a horse and the accessories as soon as possi-
ble.

Inexperienced as I was I advertised for a ho*se, and the
next mail brought me a shoal of letters from parties possess-
ing horses which they know were jost the identical animpl
that I was in search of. There were wonderful coincidences
connected with generens offers. The animals were all strik-
ingly beautiful, phenomenally fast, yonng and gentle, and
given away for one-thousandth part of their aotaal value.

"The horse market seems to be overstocked," I said to my-
aelf; "my driving won't be such an expensive luxury, after
all, when Axtells and Star Lilys, all except the name can be
bought for a mere nothing." ChoosiDg a bright, sunny day,
I went to look at a few of the wonderful bargains offered.
The first horse I looked at I really believe was dead when I
reached the place where he was stabled, for I was left stand-
ing outside while some mysterious process was being pro-"
ceeded with inside. I think that they were pumping Dr.
Brown-Sequard's elixir of life into some horse that had lately
"shuffled off this mortal coil," for when permitted to enter T
gazed upon an animal which, by a Munchausen stretch of
imagination, could be regarded as a horse. As an example
of unadulterated Pear's-soap-purity gall, this waB the finest
Bpecimen I had ever seen. The letter I had received stated
that the horse was only five years old, a mere frisky colt, still
sowing his wild oats., so to speak, and here I was gazing sor-
rowfully upon an old mammy, whose only haven of refage
upon this planet was the Bologna-sausage factory. I looked
at the horse as long as I could afford to, and until he leaned
wearily against the side of the stable, then I turned and
walked away, heedleFS of the expostulations of bis owner.

I spent the day in a vexations and wearisome search after
what I wanted, but found nothing that would suit me, In-
deed I doubt if any nightmare could exceed in ghostly home-
liness some of the horse-flesh that was displayed to me. At
last, in despair of getting anything better, I bought a mare
in which I could see no serious defect, purchasing also a
buggy and harness that went with her. The owner brought
the outfit around to my stable, and after receiving his money
went away, assuring me that I had found a treasure, though
there was a grin on his face which ma^e me uneasy.

Next day, thinking that I would enjuy my first drive, I
issued orders for the mare to be hitched up. and getting into
the buggy started down the street. We had not gone more
than two hundred yards when Jewel— I forgot to say that the
mare's nime waa Jewel — stopped dead and, to my disgust,
sat down on her haunches like anenormous dog, then turned
her head and looked reproachfally back at me, though I had
done nothing to incur her displeasure. I clacked and whiped
her and said "get up!" — meaning it in a double sense— but all
I could do produced no effect. By this lime an interested
crowd had gathered around, a crowd which could see far
more fun in the situation than I thought warrantable. It was
funny, very funny, but I failed to see the humor.

I got down and went to Jewel's head, but she would not
get up, and the spectators were kindly Bugeesting things to
me and thinking thoughts to save me thinking them. "Why
did you leave the arm-chair at home ?" asked one. "The horse
could Bit more comfortably if you brought it along." Another
noticing the way Jewel kept turning her head around, re-
marked: "Iter horse wants a chew of terbacker, boss. Give
him a chew an' he'll start all ri^ht."

I couldn't have stood the guying I was getting much longer,
when my grcom cime up and fcnk charge of matters. Jewel
resisted all attempts to move her; both persuasion and force
were tried, and tne groom was forced to take her out of the
shafts and lead her to the stable, returning for the buggy
afterwards. This tittle trick we found was the usual thing
with Jewel, and every time I tried to drive ber she went
through the same performance. But for this slight fault —
refusing to go — Jewel would have been passable. I couldn't
get rid of her for a long while, but at last a man bought her,
though I told him of the mare's fault. He said the street-
cleaning department was buying her, and it didn't matter
whether she went or not.

I was nearly disgusted with driving and had almost given
up the idea of trying it again; but receiving a catalogue from
a stock farm, and carefully looking through it, one horse de-
scribed in it impres=ed me very favorably, and I wa3 tempted
to go to the farm. 1 was met there, treated with the greatest
courtesy, and the stock shown to me. My fancy in the cata
logne was a five-year-old horse named Trasmonto, and I
liked him very much upon seeing him. and though the price
asked waB more than I could very welt eive, I purchased him.
Having a nice horse now, I wanted everything good to corre-
spond, so got a good set of harness and a light road-wagon.
The bills for the turn-out were very steep, but I was trying
to buy health, and that is cheap at any price.

The comfort and pleasure I derived from those purchases
of mine were more than I could possibly mention. Long
drives over a nice road behind a swift, easy- traveling trotter
delighted me beyond measure. I hive tried yachting, bi-
cycling and hunting, but for pure enjoyment I will take the
trotting horse every time. To come out in the morning with
the horse full of life and energy, the perfect e ense of sympathy
between the driver and the horse the exhilarating thrill and
glow of spirits a* trees and landmarks seem to fly by, these
are what I revell'd in. All the day long I was out behind
my new acquisition, and Trasmonto and I became good
friends I found, beyond dispute, that it pays to get a good
horse, and one tbat can travel.

AH rsl I was content with traveling along at a gentle jog.
though this was by no means the case with my friend Tras-
monto, for he o^jeoted very strongly to being passed by
everything on the road, and my arms would ache with the
exertion of holding him.

By degrees I grew atroDger, the blood coursed through my

veins with renewed vigor, and I began to let him out a little,
though n0ver really extending him. Often I would have a
brush along the road with some other fast nag, and how
Trasmonto enjoyed them; he would shake his bead and dash
out like a meteor, and the pleasure and excitement would
communicate itself to me, until I was as eager as he was.
Day by day I improved, until at last, thanks to my horse
and the fresh air, I was as well as I had ever been in mv
life. J

I found before long that I had got a genuine trotter, and,
though I did not often let bim have his head, whenever I did
speed him few horses on the load could pass me Now I be-
gaa to take an interest in records, circuit meetings and trot-
ting in general, and my next step— a wise one, too, I tninl: —
was to subscribe for a good hor^e paper, a weekly that pub-
lished portraits of horses, and read it through, eagerly and
closely .

Being a member of a driving club, I entered Trapmonto in
a cup-race, for members' horses, one of the conditions of the
race being horses competing must be driven by owners.
Friends had lung aga suggested that I have Trasmonto trained
and Bpeeded for a record, but I had resisted the temptation,
for I could not bear to have the horse under any one's care
except my own.

The day for the race coming, I to ik my trotter up to the
grounds and engaged the services of a good man to attend to
him. between heats. The race was. as usual, mile heats, best
three in five; and, although there was no money in it, I was
very anxious to capture the prize, for it was considered a
great honor, and all the fastest horses belonging to members
of the club were in for it. I was almost unknown in the
club, as I seldom went there, and this was the first race that
either Trasmonto or myself had taken part in. Yet I was
satisfied, from what he had done on the road, that my gallant
little friend would make the horse travel tbat beat him.

The favorite was a big. flashy looking chestnut named
Sundown, and what betting there was neemed to be nearly
all on him. One or two others were well thought of, Lady
Clare, a sorrel mare, having her friends, though thecheBtnut
was the pick of the club talent, who thought that the race
was a gift for him. Sundown was owned by a wealthy, con-
ceited Dutch brewer named Ackerman, who was himself cer-
tain that he bad a dead-sure thing, so amused himself by
going round inspecting the other horsf s, making fun of them
and blowing about his own. In the coarse of bis rounds he
reached me. and after casting a hasty aud contemptuous
glance at Transmonto, turned to me and slid: "Ton tmk dat
you horse come in to save de flag?" -'Yes, I think he can
save the nUe," 1 replied, a little nettled at the sneering way
in which he spoke of my horse. "Very veil," he continued,
"I shoost tell you one thing, mine frent; take dot horse und
sell him to run der Btreet-car in. I guess he look all light ia
der street-car, but he don'd look all right here." "If yon
will attend to your o« n infernal Dutch business," I replied,
"you wil^be doing belter; trotting has become pretty lowif a
man can't enter a hoise without clowns like you making
remarks." "Don'd got mad, young feller," Ackerman went
on; "don'd got mad vonce. I say vot I tinks; dot horse ain'd
got no beesnes3 on dis track." "Perhaps you'll find him
faster than you expect to," said I. "You are not the only
man that has got a horse that can trot." "I tell you wh«t I
do mid you, ray frienlt," said Ackerman, loftily, "you seem
to tink dot you horse is shoost so good as mine. I bet yon
two tousaod dollar to five hundred dollar dot my horse beat
yon three straight heats in."

Tn tell the truth, 1 was pretty short just at that time, and
could ill spare the money in case I lost. It is always a mis-
take Lo bet anlesa oie can afford to lose the money; still the
Dutchman's offer was so tempting, and if I won — as I thought
1 had a good chance of doing — the money would be particu-
larly a?ceptable. The chief thing that made me accept the
bet, however, was the fact that a large crowd was gathered
round us, attracted by Ackerman's loud and boisterous talk-
ing, and I wasn't going to take water before them; so going
up to the club house I placed five hundred dollars into the
hands of tho steward, while the brewer covered it with two
thousand. I was getting four to one, and bad made a very
fair bet, though every one assured me that I had done a very
foolish thing, as Sundown had the race as good a3 won
When we came out onto the track, seven altogether, Sun-
down did have the looks of the party, I must admit — a big,
showy, traveling horse, he took the eye directly, though a
good judge and keen observer would have said: "Nice look-
ing enough, but too much waste action; he's not built for
business."

I will own that I was very nervous, the novelty of the thing
and the knowledge that several thouBand spectators were
watching us made me completely lose my head, and we scor-
ed so often that Trasmonto got nervous. This was fatal to
our chances. If the horse gets nervous and the driver keeps
sleazy and co'lected, there is hope; even if the drivergets ner-
vous and the horse keeps cool, there is a chance; but when
both lose th'ir heaJs together, all is over — for that heat any-
how. Trasmonto and I came in ahead in the first beat, for
he broke and ran the last half as if he thought it was the Ken-
tucky Derby he was in, instead of an orderly trotting race;
though I was to blame, for I had lost my reckonings and
couldn't st ady him. Sundown finished second, trotting
steadily, and the heat was given him, with Lady Clare sec-
ond.

The man I eogaged talked to me between the heats, giving
me lots of advice and telling me, above all things, to keep
cool; he then soothed and quieted my horse and brought
him round in splendid shape for the next heat. As I got up
and took the lines he said to me: "Keep your eye aud
thoughts on your horse, attend to him properly, and you
won't have time to thick anything else; keep him down, ani
I know you can beat the chestnut."

As we came together, Ackermm said to me: "You got
Sp >k*ne in you harness, aind you ? DiB aind Sheepsbead Bay
running races; I told you dot horse dond got no bessness
here."

I gritted my teeth, but recollecting myself in time, turned
my whole attention to Trasmonto and soon forgot the
Dutobman and his taunts. We got off splendidly and I had
my horse under perfect control, swinging along in the good
steady fashion of the Wilkes family of trotterB. As we
reached the la^t quarter the brewer took Sundown to the
front and started for the wire. Up to this time I had not
hurried Trasmonto, being content to stay behind the leaders.

Seeiog that Sundown was getting a good way ahead, I let
out a link and went after him, Lady Clare challenging me at
the same time. Foot by foot I lessened the gap betwetn the
leader and myself, Lady Clare dropping back meanwhile; a
yard or two more to gain, and now I was even with Acker-
man. Trasmonto still going well with himself.

The brewer cast a glance at me, and seeing how well I wan
going, grew alarmed,~lnst his head for the moment and forced
h's horse to a break. I got that heat, but the question was
still undecided as to which was the fastest, though it wis
evident that they out-classed the field.

Now it was my turn, and as we came up for the third heat
I said to Acperman: "It's no uee your trying to make a trot-
ter out of Proctor Knott, be ain't built that way."

"Wait a minute," replied my competitor, "I show what a
trotter is right away."

We got off for the third heat. Lady Clare setting the pace,
and setting a hot one. When I thought advisable, I moved
my horse up, and took the lead, and had things all my own
way. Sundown was laid up. I had two heats now, and as
TraBmonto was tiring, I resolved, if possible, to capture the
next heat, and bring the thing to a finish.

We got a bad start for the fourth heat, and I got the worst
of it, and as Trasmonto did not ^et in'o his stride for some
distance, I lost a lot of ground. Relying upon the easy heat
that Sundown had had before this one, and knowing him to
be a good deal better for it, Ackerman sent his horse right
out from the start, and made the pace a scorcher I knew
that he was making a mistake and that he would come back,
so was satisfied to keep within asafe distance from the lead-
er, and reserved my speed for the finish.

When well into the s'.raight I let oat, and overhauled Sun-
down as if he was going at a walk. Before Ackerman knew
i' I had canght him, and baving got there I had coma to stay.
Neck and neck, both doing all we knew bow in order to beat
the other. Spectators are forgotten, everything is, except
the fact that our horses need all the attention and help that
we can give them. Trasmonto was nearly done, but I held
him steady, aud we dashed under the wire a length in front
of Sundown and Ackerman. — Horseman.

UKIAH.

Thdesdat, October 3, 'S^-The unfinished race of yester-
dav was concladed this morning before the cattle parade.
The hoar set for it, 9 o'clock, was so early that few were in
attendance. The result, however, proved moat interesting
from one point of view, that of being split tip heats, but the
contest in each heat was one-aided, as the horse that obtained
the advantage on the first tnrn, which is veiy sharp and
flat had just speed enough to prevent the other overcoming
this advantage on the short stretch, and the next turn would
rjrodnce the same result. There was no poolsellmg.

Third, fourth and fifth heats were trotted on Thursday.

The' stock parade was called promptly at 10 o'clock, and
resulted in a very fair display. The Holatein cattle made the
beBt exhibit and were closely followed by the draft horaeB.
The other paraders were of a very mixed character, and few
family exhibits.

At two o'clock the largest attendance ever seen on the
track was in attendance to witness the races for the third
dav. The races proved the most interesting, and elicited the
heaviest betting of the week.

The first race of the dav was a half-mile and repeat run-
ning race, for a purse of $150. Twilight waB a decided favor-
ite in the pools at §10 against S2 for Sagebrush Sam and So
for the field, in which were Dick Tnrpin and Dutchman.

Turpin took the lead in both heats from the jump, and
■was never headed, although very closely run out in the sec-
ond heat by Twilight, which was still the favorite after Tur-
pin had won the first heat. Time. 0:52*. 0:52*.

The second race was a quarter mile dash for a purse of
$150. The betting showed the inclination of the pebple for
short races and dashes, and more money went into the box
on this event thau all the previous ones together. There was
considerable talk and several complaints to the judges of an
intended "job" in the race, but no action was taken and the
race decided promptly on the result of the outcome. In the
pools Lulu B. sold for $20, Johnny D. for $12, and Croppy
for $3. Lulu B. got away a half length In front of
CroDpy, with Johnny D. out of the hunt. Around the
turn and down the stretch it was anybody's race,
and at the wire nine-tenths of the spectators said
Croppy's nose was in front, and a large crowd gath-
ered in front of the judges' stand to hear their decision.
The "talent" said "Croppy was n- t out for it, and only ran
it so close because ThoniaB, the rider could not hold him,"
and as a consequence the judges' decision created no little
comment among the buyers of the cheap horses. It was
Lulu B. first, Croppy second. Johnny D. third. Time, 0:23J.

The last race of the day was for the 2:40 class for a $200
purse, mile heats, 3 in 5. It was an altogether one-sided
affair and was won in three straight heats by Keepsake, Ul-
ster Prince being distanced in the first heat, Snrdel nearly
bo. The latter, however, made a better showing in the two
last heats, but was outclassed from start to finish. The time
was 2:41, 2:404,2:40*.

On this track it is useless to Btart more than three horses in
eulkies, and if the pole horse is a good actor he can win even
if three or four seconds slower than the others. This is on
account of the sharp turns, which are not only not thrown
up, but are lower on the outside and the nurrowoess of the
track, four sulkies being unable to Bcore; in fact, it is close
quarters for three.

Another fact that is noticed iB that although there is a
wire acroBs the track it is above the judges' heads, and how
they can accurately judge such close finishes as were had in
the 4 mile dash to-day is impossible to tell.

Friday, Ootober 4th.— To-day was the fourth day of the
meeting, and was attended by a much larger attendance
than yesterday, which was admitted to have been the big-
geBt day ever had in the county. The day was much pleas-
anter than yesterday, being cooler, and with much less dust.
The races, two in number, were uointeresting, and character-
ized by the irregular judgements and arbitrary rulings of
the judges that have done more to cause dissatisfaction than
the failure of the advertised races to fill.

In to-day's races, the first on the programme was a speoial
trot for a $150 purse, mile heats 2 in 3. Four starters faced
the wire in the first heat, and sold in the pools: Maud $10,
field, consisting of Warwick and B. Flat, $8, and Iaqua Maid
$4

The Maid took the lead in the first beat, and was never
headed. Maud was second by a length, Warwick third, and
B. Flat distanced. Time, 3:05.

Maud still sold for $10. Warwick for $7.50, and the Maid
for $5. The Maid held the lead, closely followed by Maud,
to the half-mtle pole, where Bhe broke, and was passed by
Warwick and Maud. Warwick teat Maud to the wire, with
the Maid a poor third. Time, 3:04J.

The third and deciding heat was easily won by Warwick by
five lengths, Maud second, the Maid third. Time, 3:08*.

The second and last race of the day was a Bpeciul for three-
year olds, mile heats 3 in 5, for a parse of $150. It brought
out three starters, Deronda selling for $4, Doctor for $2 and

Launcelot for $1. Deronda won easily, Launcelot distanced.
Time 3:19. There were no pools sold before the second
heat 'and Deronda gave the heat to Doctor in 3:26*.

The third heat was, even for such slow horses, very inter-
esting as Doctor was much better driven and trotted faster.
They continually changed places during the mile, owing to
breaks by both horses. At the head of the stretch Doctor
broke and Deronda opened a gap of four lengths to the dis-
tance post, where he stumbled and nearly fell, and on recov-
ering himself broke badly and was beaten out half a length
by Doctor in 3:17k , .

The judges, however gave it a d?ad heat to the amazement
of everybody, including the driver and owner of Deronda,
who admitted they lost the heat by Deronda's stumbling.

The judges Btopped all protests and complaints, however,
bv ordering any one daring enoagh to demur to be removed
from the track by the Marshalls. The complaints, however
were loud and numerous, and the judges wereplainly criticised
not only for this, but for numerous rnlings during the week

Deronda easily won the next heat by ten lengths, amid
loud cries of "D'ead heat! dead heat!" which again caused the
judges to call on the Marshalls to eject those caught shout-

111 Judge Simmons, after the heat, freely lectured the driver
of Deronda for looking back when coming down the stretch
to see if he had Doctor shut out, and told him that if it waB
repeated he would be heavily fined. The judges then post-
poned the race until 8 o'clock to-morrow morning, notwith-
standing the fact that there was daylight for at least two more

The driver of Deronda objected, but was told by Judge
Simmons "that he (Simmons) was running these races, and
if he (Deronda's driver) didn't shut up he would put a great
big fine on him " The time of the last heat waB 3:12£.

The fifth heat was won easily the next morning by Daniel
Deronda in 3:14 J by six lengths, never being headed in the
heat.

SATURDAY, OCT. 5TH.

The fifth and last day of the Twelfth District Association's
Fair attracted the largest attendance of the week. Fully
1,000 people were present, and the surrounding country and
towns were well represented by families in teamB and carry-
alls of every description. A notable attendance was the resi-
dent Indians of this county, who were out in full force.
They are as well situated financially as the whites, live in as
good houses, farm their own land, attend the races with their
families, and, to wind up with, spend their money twice as
liberally as the white population.

The main attraction of the day in drawing such a crowd
was the ladies' riding tournament, in which Miss Lou Vana-
da, Miss Kozelle Higgins and Miss L. W. Bed-wine were the
contestants for two prizeB. The first, $10. waB awarded by
the judges to Miss Higgins, and the second prize, $5, to Mrs.
Redwine. The characteristic ignorance of the judges in this
as well as the racing events, so incensed the large audience
that a larger purse than the first prize ($15) was immediately
made up for and presented to MisB Vanada.

The first race of the day was a i mile dash for a purse of
$100, and brought ont three local celebrities of short horse rep-
utation for speed. Lulu B. was the favorite at $10, while Fox
and Dutchman Bold for $4 each. Fox and Lulu B. ran well
together, with Dutchman four lengths back to the head of
the stretch, where Lulu led Fox by two lengths. In swing-
ing into the short stretch Lulu took the middle of the track,
while Taylor on Fox coming very fast pulled into the pole
and was gaining on the mare at every stride. At the dis-
tance pole Hasty on Lulu drew hiB whip with the right hand
and the Bevere punishment made the mare swerve clear across
the track and directly in front of Fox. The horse, to avoid
a collision, had to pull up and go to the outside, and then
was only beaten by a head and neck.

The judges paid no attention to the foul, but immediately
gave the race to Lulu B., claiming that Bhe was ahead and
had a right to take any position on the track she wanted
The decision was justly greeted by howls and hisses from
the muoh abused audience and pool buyers. Hasty, the
rider of Lulu, to-night laughingly admitted to the represent*
ative of the Breeder and Sportsmax, that the foul was so
palpable and directly in front of the judges that even with as
little as they knew, he fully expected to be placed last, if not
heavily punished, as the judges had cautioned the boys all
the week that the races were being strictly run under the
Blood Horse Association Bules! The time waB 0:51|.

The second race was the longest running race of the meet-

ing was the heaviest and largest of the week. Ace Full brought
$20, Joe Hooker $14.

Taylor, the rider of Dick Tnrpin, (who rode at 13G lbs!)
admitted to the representative of the Breeder and Sports-
man that he did not try to win, but that after the judges'
ruling in the one-fourth of a mile dash, he saw the riders
could do as they pleased with the judges and bo took the
chances.

The third race was a quarter of a mile dash for a $75 purse
and was won by Johnny D., who sold in the field with
Birdie G. for $8 against $10 for Croppy. 0:25.

The last race, and a fitting wind-up for the Ukiah fair, was
a match for $50 a Bide between Billy the Kid and Dutchman,
a da'h of half a mile.

Dutchman was a 2 to 1 favorite, and justly so, for after the
race it was found out that Billy the Kid was run with heavy
shoeB on. The Dutchman won as he pleased, and the jobbers
expected he would. Time, 0:53 i. A more disgusted audience
never filed out of the gates of atraok than those that attended
the last day of the Ukiah meeting.

Ukiah Gossip.
Thomas, a favorite rider in these counties, closely resem-
bles Billy Appleby in looks when in the saddle, but his style
and riding are diffeient. He couldn't pasB anywhere for you
Billy.

There is no accommodation here whatever by the associa-
tion for the press. True, little is needed, for an expert repor-
ter could make all necessary notes on his shirt cuff. It iB
probably an oversight on their part, superinduced by the
Bcantiness of room, and a desire on their part to do every-
thing, in their mind, for the best.

The upper or judgeB stand is occupied by a brass band?
and what it lacks in harmony it makes up in noise and scaring
horses within 100 yards, drowning the announcements of the
judges, and almost completely stopping pool selling.^ The
reporters are denied admission by the familar authoritative
country official in charge.

I say "familiar authoritative country official," for that in-
dividual will be readily recognized by all frequenters of out-
side district fairs. But for a more general usurpation and
misuse of authority, vested in them by their official and con-
spicuous badges, those holding the position here should be
awarded the blue ribbon over all competitors. Nothing
short of wearing a directors badge will entitle yon to the
slightest consideration from any of them.

The burning lately of the largest hotel here has made ac-
commodations for slopping apartments very soarce. As a
consequence the private residences have been called to help
out, end as they are all on the outskirts of town, necessita-
tes long and very dusty walks. There are no street or cor-
ners lights, and it no unusual thing to see a sleepy visitor
with a map in his hand studying the route to his sleeping
house. v

There were very few of the Bay gambling fraternity here,
and those that did come were working like trojans with the
the hope of getting enough to get out of town.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Fresno, Cal.. Oot. 6, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I feel that I cannot
leave this place and do it justice w.thout expressing my feel-
ings, and at the same time giving advice to my brother horse-
men who did not come here. And for their benefit 1 will say
that Fresno is as nice a little town as a man wishes to visit.
The Hughes Hotel cannot be beat for good eating, nice rooms,
the best laundry outside of San Francisco, and from the pro-
prietor down to the errand boy the most accommodating
crowd I ever saw. The race track is as good as any on the
coaBt. Sunol's record of 2:13£ over it ought to convince the
most skeptical. The grand stand is the best and finest look-
ing in this State. The accommodations for horses are A No.
1, the grounds just lovely, and last but not least I must speak
of the gentlemen who have things in charge.

Now, most of the horsemen well know that there are places
on the circuit that tie their parses and promises with a long
Btring. One place in particular they use a patent cable, but
I must say that these gentlemen do all they agree and in our
case did even better than they agreed. The town is growing
and next year I look to see twice as many of the horseman
here, and they won't regret coming if these people still con-
tinne to manage affairs here. Ever yours,

Harry J. Agnew.

Sunol's Record.

-Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— We see by the Exam-
iner that the reporter cast some donbt on the time made
by Sonol. The facts are these: Mr. S. N. Straube, C. B.
Gilford and Alfred Gonzales were the timing judges. Mr.
Giffdrd made it 2:14 and Mr. Straube and Mr. Gonzales made
it 2:13|, and are willing to make affidavit of Bame, but they
were under the impression that the slowest time, 2:14, was
to be hung up. and so hung it out. Then Mr. Straube came
to the judges stand and said he was under the impression
that if two of the timers made it 2:13£, the mare should have
the benefit. The judges then called the timers into the
judges stand and got the facts of the case as above stated, and
then ordered the time to be hung out 2:13|, and we have
pince heard of several parties that stood under the wire and
timed the mare from 2:13£ to 2:13|. Yours, etc.,

W. I. Baldwin, Sec.

Fresno, Cal., Oct. 9th, 1889.

Grim'e Gossip.

J. B. Haggin returned from the East this week.

The runners are all locatsd at Oakland, there being no
room at the Bay tor them.

Out of ten Sir Modrad Colts trained this year, there are
now five stake winners.

Palo Alto has been Bhod with bar shoes, but that will be
no bar against his record.

Orrin Hickokaays he Bhould like to strike Favonia just
now with Alfred S, 2:18.

Since Margaret S. won the Spirit Faturity Stake, Andy
McDowell is the happiest man in town.

And now another Piedmont has gone inio the list. Ira, at
Eohnerville, made a mile in a race m 2:24f.

Any number of horsemen will attend the Healdsburg meet-
ing next week. It promises to be a great sucoess.

Sam Bryant still has due him $5,375 for unpaid forfeits to
the Futurity Stake of 1888, won by Proctor Knott.

Mr. J. B. Haggin haB given up his Kentucky farm. His
yearlings had been kept at the Swigert place, near Spring
Station. That farm ib now for sale or lease.

Please let me know through the columns of your paper, the
proper way to use Ossidine for the removal of splints on
horses, and if I have to use any ointment after the splint is
removed. Also give me the pedigree of Gen. Dana.

Answer — Full instructions accompany each bottle of Ossi-

Kindly inform me if it is too late to make a nomination in
the Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake. Also, let me
know the pedigree of the dam of Mount Vernon.

Answer. — Nominations to the Breeder and Sportsman
($3,000 guaranteed) Futurity Stakes, can be made any time
between now and January 1st, 1890. A letter was sent to
Mr. McCloud, the owner of Mount Vernon, in reference to
your second question, and the following is his answer:

Stockton, Oct. 4, 1889.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman —

Dear Sir: — Yours of Sept. 30, at hand. In reply I send you
the pedigree of Daisy the dam of Mt. Vernon as far back
as I can at present trace it. The stock has been in our fam-
ily for the last forty years, which is as far back as I can go at
the present time, as people here 40 yeara ago did not keep as
accurate account of pedigTees as now. The great grandam of
Daisy was a preient to me from her breeder, my brother, on
my arrival iu Cal. 35 years ago, and I immediately purchased
her first colt of him, the dam of Daisy, and she always
remained in my possession np to the time of her death three
years ago, after raising 20 foals, which number, I think, has
not been exceeded by very many mares, if any in this country.

Daisy, the dam of Mt. Vernon, is at present owned by L. U.
Bhippee of this city, who hasayearlingcoltout of her by Haw-
thorne that I timed one quarter this week in 39 seconds after
only one months work. If I can secure the proper dates, as
some of my own have become destroyed, I will at some other
time write you a description of the performances of Daisy
and of her colts also of her dam and colts for some future ar-
ticle for your paper. I am sorry to inform you that the pre-
vailing horse disease has attacked Mt. Vernon with Buch
severity that it will interfere with his starting in the Nation-
al Stallion race the later part of this month. It is a great
disappointment to me as he had not been driven to a break
this summer: and I was confident of his ability to trot in
2:18 If he came to the post in proper form.
Very respectfully,

J. A. McCloud, 145 Park Street.
Mt. Vernon by Nutwood, dam Daisy 2:34£ by Chieftain he
by Hiatoga; second dam by Corn Planter he by Copper Bot-
tom; third dam by a black horse brought from Kentocky by
a Mr. Hope and supposed to be Blackhawk and was once
owned by Dr. Stamper, who if alive is living in Waisooville.

The good people of Suisun are contemplating building a
mile race traok. The Republican says: What we want ib a
good mile track, and with united action it can be bad. The
track at Dixon, we are told pays a good rate of interest on
$9,000. Some three years ago, Mt. Elliot offered to lease
60 or 70 acres of land belonging to the Pierce estate for a
track, at a low rate, and in all probability satisfactory arrange-
ments could be made now for the same tract. The land lies
due west from Suisun, about one-half mile distant. Put your
heads together and talk this matter up.

LaBt Saturday a mare belonging to J F. Rhoten gave birth
to three colts. One them of them died Sunday, but the other
two are still alive and doing nicely.— Gridley Herald.

In training colts it is well to remember that the walk is the
foundation of all other gaits. Teach them to walk well and
you will have le-s trouble in developing the other gaits.

E. D. Wiggin of Boston, has sold to Sam Gamble, for
$3,000, the promising yearling filly Carlotta "Wilkes, by
Charley Wilkes, a son of Red WilkeB, dam by Alcantara,
2:23.

Theo Winters will probably bring a two year old filly down
for the fall meeting. If she does come she should show up
well, for it is rumored that she is not very far behind El Eio
Key.

The match race between Harry Wilkes 2:13£ and Belle
Hainlin 2:12£ for $5,000 took place yesterday at Fleetwood
Park, N. Y., but at too late an hour for us to give a report
this week.

At the Eeno Fair, Theodore Winters Esq. received three
premiums for thoroughbreds, as follows: Best two year
old colt Chan Haskell; best two year old filly, Florance A.
best yearling colt, Bey del Bey.

It looked rather singular at Fresno to Bee Hickok driving a
Palo Alto horse Lorita against Charlie Marvin and Express,
but on enquiry Hickok said he had leased the mare for the
trip. Hickok won the race, too.

H. P. Mohr of Mount Eden, has purchased from Mr. Foott,
through Killip & Co., two fine Clydesdale mares, part of the
importation which arrived on the last trip of the Alemeda,
from Australia. The terms are private. *

All the talk about Nelson, 2:14^-, coming to California to
have a race with the fast stallions here can be summed np in
the fact that Bud Doble now has him in charge and will win-
ter him with the balance of the string at Lus Angeles.

There are but four horses in the history of the American
trotter that have had a colt enter the 2:30 list before the sire
was seven years old. They are Sultan aud Stambool in Cali-
fornia, Ked WilkeB in Kentucky, and Herschel in Missouri.

R. Porter Ashe has done so well on the Eastern tracks this
summer that he is having painted for the New York Jockey
Club a picture of Geraldine to commemorate the fact that
his speedy mare won the first race ever run over the Morris
Park track.

One often sees horses with a big toe-weight and heavy shoe,
but Pericle's should take first place, with 32 ounces (12-ounce
toe-weight and 20-ounce shoe), at least McHugh, his driver,
stated that that was the weight the three-year-old cawied in
his race at Fresno last week.

Sunol has been carrying 10 oz. shoes in front and 5 oz.
behind, and in her world-renowned race at Fresno wore
shoes of that weight. When I saw her at Napa in the spring
she was carrying the same balance, but was not quite tit
then. She will trot in 2:12 or better.

My readers will be surprised to hear that there are rumors
current in the East that "Knap" McCarthy will forsake the
trotting element and have a go at the bang tails. Knap
knows enough about the business to make him a grand suc-
cess at it. A bird whisoers that possibly he may train for D
D. Withers.

Henry Vaughan sold five head of Hereford cattle during last
week, among them being the celebrated stook bull Pertly,
weight 2,800 pounds, one of the be3t bulls in the country,
bis breeding boing exceptional. Mr. Morgan Hill was the
fortunate purchaser of the bull, at $1000, and the very next
day Mr. Vanghan received a telegram from the East offering
S2500 for the bull.

A great fair has lately been held in Wilmington, Dal., at
which the racen were of exceedingly good quality The horses
put forward for competition were all judged according lo
points, and the first premium for four-year-old stallions was
won by Bentooeer, 6tI0, b h, by Gen. Benton, 1755, dam
Guess by Electioneer, 125; g d Gazelle, by Primas, 255; g g d
Mayfly {dam of Bonita, 2:18J), by St. Clair.

H. C. Eoyer, M. D., of Los Angeles, Cal., purchased
September 18. of J. L. Connor, the roan pacing three-vear-
old colt Forrest GoldduBt Jr. by Standard Bearer; dam Mol-
ly K. Standard Bearer by ForreBt Golddust; dam Comet
Morgan. Molly K. by Woodford Knox; dam Kansas Bell.
Forrest Golddust Jr., is a roan horse, lo£ hands, weighs
about 1,000 pounds, natural pacer and showed an eighth in
19i seconds to road cart, at Lob Angeles Agricultural Park,
September 17.

Probably one of the largest offers ever made to the owner
of a stallion for the services of the same, has been made to
W. Corbitt, Esq., of the San Mateo Stock Farm, for Guy
Wdkes, 2:15j, for the Beason of 1890. A telegram has been
received by Mr. Corbitt, offering him $20,000 for the services
of the stallion next season, and also a like sum for him for
1891. The offer is made by J. E. Green, of Louisville, Ky.

At the termination of the last billiard match Mr. Saylors
friends and backers were very jubilant and offered to back
Saylor for aDy amount of money for a game of 1,000 points
up even against Prof. McCleery.

McCooly asked them to pledge their word that they would
do so, which was done, Mr. J. Bucker, of San Jose, acting as
sookesman.

McCleery now challenges Saylor for the championship and
$2000 (S 1000 a side) and has placed $500 as a forfeit in the
hands of Joyce & Orndroff at the Cafe Boyal.

Last Saturday, attaohed to the north bound train, was a
car, to which this Bign was attached, "California stock from
Hancock Johnston's Stock Farm, Los AngeleB, to be sold at
W. T. Woodward's, Lexington, Ky., October 15th." Within
the car were 10 yet unnamed colts boasting one or other of
the following speedy sires: Stamboul, 2:14f, Monroe Chief,
2:1S£; Bonnie McGregor, 2:13£; Richmond, no record, but
sire of Arrow, with a reccrd of 2:13}. The colts were in
charge of Joseph Romero, who in March last took 10 head of
yearlings from the tame ranch to New York City, where they
sold for $7.100.— (Kern Californian).

Echora, 2:23£, the dam of Direct, has been sent to In-
dependence, Iowa, where she will receive the embraces of
Axtell, 2:14. The service fee is a large one, $1,000, but if
the offspring is only as good as Margaret 8. or Direct the
money is well invested.

The Chicago Herald, in a long drawn out story, telling
about how Lexington made the record of 7:19$, says that
Richard Ten Broeck, Esq. was Bhot and killed August 8th,
1874, by Gen. Whittaker at Louisville, Ky. This will be
news for Mr. Ten Broeck, who is at present residing at San
Mateo.

S. N. Straube's Lizzie Thorne was driven by Charley Mar-
vin, on Tuesday of last week, at FreBno, and although short
of work, she easily won, gettiDg a record (two-year-old) of
2:53. She is in foal to Clovis, and had it not been for the
death of Mr. Straube's crack two-year old Castro, would not
have been trained.

The Washington Park Club have done so much for racing
in the west that it is not to be wondered at that the entries
are always very liberal. California haB from the commence-
ment of the organization been represented in the entry list,
and with the increased amounts offered this year there is no
doubt the Golden State will again send on a lot of nominations.
Person desirous of making entries can procure the necessary
blanks at the Breeder and Sportsman office.

The old race horse Optimus, familiarly known as <;Bones,"
owned by Ed Wright, of this city, says the Ukian Republi-
can, and nearly thirty years of age, dropped dead at the rane
track Sunday, while being driven around for exercise. The
animal has figured in many races gone by, and bas a record
of 2:26. The old horse has been kindly cared for sirce com-
ing under Mr. Wright's care, and was on Monday morning
given a decent burial. When and where did he make his re-
cord? (Grim)

Says a correspondent to the America Agriculturist: "Your
pond, filldd with stagnant water, covered in summer with
green vegetation, is an unwholesome water Bupply forstock,
and can scarcely fail to be a scource of malaria. It would b3
far better to drain it and cultivate the land it covers. If it
is supplied by springs they may be conducted into a sunken
trough or shallow brick cistern laid in cement mortar. If the
pond is wholly supplied by surface water, a well would be
better, unless the water in the vicinity contains Epsom Baits,
or other injurious substances in Bolution. In tbat case a
new pond is the best available resource. It may be made to
hold water if it is bottomed with puddled clay. This is clay
packed down hard while in a moderately damp condition.
If this is not available, cover the bottom and sideB with a
concrete made of gravel or broken stones mixed with the ce-
ment and sand."

It is given out that a gentleman who very modestly declines
te have his name made public, has paid $5,000 for the brood
mare qualities Dext season of the three-year-old filly Palo
Alto Belle, full sister to Bell Boy, and that she will be bred
to Alcantara. All that The Gazette can say regarding this
seoretive Crcesus is that he is a game man. Thus far noth-
ing like the sum of $5,000 has been paid in advance, without
any qualification whatever, for the use of a brood mare one
season, and although Palo Alto Belle is a full si-ter to Bell
Roy, and has herself a record better than 2-30 as a two-ye^r
old, the price is a long one. We believe tbat Mr. Robeit
Bonner once gave or offered to give $4,000 for a foal out of
Green Mountain Maid, provided the youngster was foaled
perfect in form and stood up to suckle. This, however, was
very different from paying $5,000 cash for the use of the
mare one BeasoD, then adding to that the service fee of what-
ever stallion might be selected, and the keep of the mare for
a twelve month. But this is the era of a boom in trotting
blood, especially that of Electioneer and George Wilkes, so
that almost anything in the way of sensational prices may
be looked for.

Speaking of Bob Swimm, the old time jockey, a contem-
porary gives the following inieresting story: "Bobby Swimm
was a great jockey, but he would drink. On one occasion in
LexiDgton there was to be a great race between Himyar, theu
a three year old, owned by Major Thomas of Fayette Coun-
ty, and Canimie F. Swimm wanted the mount on Himyar,
but Price advised against him and his offer was declined.
'Now is my chance to get square,' said Bobby; 'I'll ride
Oammie F aod beat the best three year old this country bas
ever seen.' Going to the owners of Cammie F he told them
juBt how he felt and 'tbat he would win the race if he rode
her. He got the mount. This was the night before the race
and it rained all night. At the break of day Swimm took the
mare out and Bent her around the course once. Then he dis-
mounted and walked around the track, carefully examinirg
its condition. When the race came off Himyar took the leau
and Bobby took a pull on Cammie F. He kept, however,
forcing the colt to do his beat until they entered the home-
stretch. Then Himyar seemed to come away. Bobby, how-
ever, was not napping. Cammie F., under his guidance,
seemed to swerve, and the shouts of the multitude went up,
'Himyar wins!' A moment later they noticed Bobby comiug
on the outside of the track with Cammie like a streak of chain
lightning. He had got on the dry part of the track and they
cheered him as be landed the mare a winner, making the de-
posed jockey feel well rewarded. As he walked np to Major
Thomas after he had weighed in he exclaimed: 'I gut
will let me ride Himyar the next time he starts.'
did. however, as the Major could never place any
in Bobby."

A NEW CIRCUIT.

Tlie Paeent Sound cities Jola in the Van and Organ
ize an Association -A Most Ausoicious Opening
at Port To wusend -Seattle, Tacoma, "West-
minster and Victoria to Folio W.

The Paget Sound country, which is now so rapidly de-
veloping, has long felt the necessity of a racing association to
afford and regnlate that most interesting amusement. The
matter has at last been attended to, and to the united efforts of
Charley Clancy and JohnCort, of Seattle, is due the formation
of the Puget Sound Racing Association. The new associa-
tion has a most complete circuit, comprising the cities of
Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia. Fort Townsend, Westminster and
Victoria, and expect soou to control Vancouver and several
other smaller places. The headquarters of the association
are at 110 Washington St., Seattle.

The association has induced any number of horse own-
ers to enter their animals, and the prospect of a hoe season
of gjod racing is a most propitious one. While the purBes
which are now offered will probably be .considered small, yet
if the age of the association and the risks attending such an
experiment are considered, they seem much larger. When
the ;rn*nagers feel themselves treading on more reliable
ground they meau to increase the size of the purses and
make this circuit second to none in the Northwest.

Hereafter the dates of their spring, summer and fall meet-
ings will be made to conform to those of the Oregon andMon-
taua meetings, so that horse owners may be able to bring
their horses here without any loss. For the greater conven-
ience of the horsemen the managers have chartered the
steamer City of Qnincy for transporting the flyers around the
Sound.

Great credit is due Messrs. Clancy and Cort for their al-
ready assured success. It is required a great deal hustling to
bring the matter about, but they prove equal to it, and the
great Sound country has them to thank for his stupend-
ous undertaking in its interest.

The circuit opened at Point Townpend on Saturday, Sept.
21st, with three well-hiled races on the programme, and con-
tinued for two days. Throughout the meeting the racing waB
most excellent, every finish being a driving one and the win-
ners only snatcbing a victory from the wire. The atten-
dance was poor considering the attraction, and the betting
light. The track at Port Townsend, which is the property
of Capt. H. L. Tibbals, an old pioneer and resident of the
Key City, is situated on a nice elevation about four miles
from the city, and is reached by a good road and motor line.
It is a five-eighths track and surrounds a very pretty lake,
which gives a good effect upon the surroundings. The track
itself is an excellent one barring a few light sandy places,
and is a testimonial to the ability and judgment of its propri-
etor. There is ample stable room, a large stand, auction
booths aud everything necessary for a complete racing park,
within a few hundred feet is a first-class hotel.

A number of the owners, who have brought their horses
here, preferred to commence running their horses at Seattle,
at left out Port Townsend. Notwithstanding this, an excell-
ent lot of animals went to Townsend, and affoided those
who went to see them the "finest racing ever known on the
Sound," as the press unamiously proclaimed it. All the fin-
est animals in the Northwestern country have been drawn
together, and there now seems to be a possible chance that
long-disputed supremacy among owners of horseflesh will be
contested and settled.

The Seattle meeting commences Thursday, September 26,
1889, and continues four days. Eich day's programme con-
tains four or five races, and they promise to be well atten-
ded.— Rural Spirit.

Improving- the Pace.

Tlie Record ol 1889 Surpasses all Preceding Ones.

The following oarefully prepared article is taken from the
Sacramento Bee:

On Saturday evening last the thirty-sixth annual Califor-
nia State Fair came to a close— and a most successful one it
was. At the commencement receipts each day showed an
increase over the corresponding day of last year, and as the
Fair progressed it became quite evident that from a financial
standpoint this year's exhibition was going to be a grand
success.

Prior to the opening of the racing programme, many were
tho queries heard as to what we eoald expect, but no one
was so sanguine as to predict such a meeting — trotting, pac-
ing and running— as has now gone into history. While it is
true that we, on this coast, are progressing each year in the
matter of breeding fine stock, and this progres-ion is making
itself quite evident at our Fall circuit meetings, it would
have been considered the highest of folly for any one a few
years ago to have Btated in public that before 1890 we would
see some remarkably

FAST CALIFORNIA-BRED YOUNGSTERS

At our State Eair— horses that would trot down in the teens.
A study of our State Fair just closed, however, will show how
truthful such a remark would have been, for Sunol, a three
year old, trotted in 2:16£; Margarets., a three year old, in
2:193 ; Lord Byron, a four year old, 2:18; Direct, a four year-
old, in '2:183; and Yolo Maid, a lour year old, paced in 2:12}.
The Bee has in past years given a comparison of each year's
fair with its predecessors, but it must be said that the meet-
ing in 1889 Btands ''head and shoulders" above any Fair ever
before given on the Pacific Coast. The meeting was of nine
days' duration, and in that time four pacing, eleven trotting
and nineteen running events were d'ecided. A noticeable
feature of the meetingwas that while the Eastern bred horses
were largely represented, Songstress, Picnic, Atto Bex and St.
Patrick were the ouly ropresentatives that won during the
meeting.

A COMPARISON OF TIME RECORDED.

The fastest time trotted or paced at the State Fair of 1884
was 2:21; 1885,2:181: 1886, 2:16A; 1887,2:15.1; 1888. 2:16A;
1889, 2:12$. In ISS.'j five heats were trotted in*2:20 or better;
in 1886, five; in 1887 rive trotted and four paced; in 1888
three trotted and ouepaoed; in 1S89 nine trotted and nine
paced. In 1838 there were nineteen heats trotted and seven
paced in 2:25 or better, while in 1889 there were twenty-four
trotted aud fourteen paoed.

By oarrying the comparison farther it will be seen that as
regards the average time of each heat trotted or paced at va-
rious fairs, the fair just closed still remains in the lead. In
1886 it required 60 heats to decide the trotting and pacing
races, and the average time per mile was 2:254; in 1887, 59
heals were required and theuverage time was 2;24*J: in 1888,
42 heats were required and the average time was 2:251; in
1889, 50 heats were required and the average time was 2;22i.
In 1888 it required 35 heats to decide the trotting races aud
the average time per mile was 2:26}; in 1889 it required the
same number (35 heats) to decide the trotting races, but tbe

avearge was reduced to 2:23}. The pacing races in 1888 were
deoided in seven heats, and the average time was 2:21$. This
year it required 15 heats to decide the pacing contests, and
the average was 2:19£.

THE NUMBER OF STARTERS.

At the previous State Fairs we have bad a few more starters
in the races than was the rule at the past one, but this in
accounted for by the fact that at this year's meeting the class
of horses was so good that tbe owners of some of the other
nominations saw the folly of paying op the full entrance on
horses which they knew were outclassed, hence the falling
off in the number of starters. The number of entries to the
stakes and purses this year was the equal of any preceeding
year, and, in fact, waB much larger in the thoroughbred de-
partment. In 1886 in 16 trotting aud pacing raced there were
59 starters, an average of 4| to each race; and in 17 running
races, 95 starters, an average of 5}. In 18S7 in 18 trotting
and pacing races there wers 69 starters, an average of 3 5-6;
and in 17 running races 80 starters, an average of 5. In 1888
in 12 trotting and pacing races there were 53 starters, an av-
erag8 of 4 5 12; and 18 running raceB 101 starter, an average
of 5 IMS. In 1889 in 15 trotting and pacing races there
were 60 starters, an average of 4; and in 18 running races,
90 starters, an average of 4|.

meetiug with that of last year. The Bee presents below a
tabulated list of the trotting and pacing races:

THE WINNING OWNERS.

It is the custom with the leading papers in the East to
give a Hat of the winning owners at the large meetings, to-
gether with the amounts won by each, and as the question
has been repeatedly asked, as to which stable won tbe larg-
est amount, and the winnings of the various Btables at the
State Fair, The Bee made inquiries at Secretary Smith's
office, and is thereby enabled to give the information. The
Palo Alto Stock Farm (Senator Stanford) was the largest win-
ner. Below is a list of the winnings.

Palo Alto Stock Farm— Peel, $2,320; Racine, $1,980; Flam-
hean, $1,865; Sunol, $1,365; Rico, §620; Raindrop, $25

Tom Pinch in the East.

When Mr. J. Martin Barney took his pointers Tom Pinch,
Galatea and Lady Pinch east a few months ago, with the
avowed intention of showing them, if possible, his many
friends in California felt sure that Tom at least would take
a lot of beating. The news now comes that at the Elmira,
N. Y., dog Bhow Tom Pinch won first in heavy weight point.
ers and Lady Pinch by Tom Pinch — Galatea won first in
pointer bitches of 50 pounds and over. In light weight
pointer bitches Galatea won second, being beaten by B. F,
Lewis' Venice by Drake — Rowdy. Such success in such
company argues high merit in Mr. Barney's pointers, and
his success will be learned with pleasure and without envy
by the friends who will meet him and his dogB in January at
the field trialB, ready for a race for almost any amount. That
superb contemporary, the American Field, says of Mr. Bar-
ney's dogs:

Pointers were a good class. Mr. J. Martin Barney of San
Francisco, brought his dogs east to compare them with the
cracks. Tom Pinch is a worthy son of old Beulah, and a
credit to her breeder, Plover. If he can breed more like
Tom, he will not often have to ask "Why?" Second went
to Sam, one of the best headed dogs I have seen in a long
time. Third went to Ike, a fair dog but wrong in head and
quarters. The prize should have gone to Prince Bang, who
got V. H. C. Lad is a well built dog, bnt his bitoh head
spoils him. Mr. Barney also won first in bitches, with the
good and handsome Lady Pinch. Devonshire Countess and
Don's Dot had to be content with second and third, although
they were handled by such good and skillful men as Fred.
Kir by and Ben Lewis; for it is a fact that a good handler can
make his dog score ten per cent, more than an amateur.
Ned B must now go in the challenge class, he having won
first at Brooklyn, but it was after the Elmira entr es closed
so he could not be transferred. Although a good dog, he is
too leggy, and after a careful examination was obliged to low-
er his colors to Forest King who is probably the beat light-
weight pointer in the open class in America, and will make
it hot for the challenge elaBS at the Winter and Spring shows;
but he needs a good and careful handler. In light-weight
bitches, first went to Venus, and second to Galatea who
should have changed places with Naja. She is a fine bitch
with no fault except being a bit thick in skull.

The California Kennels.

There has of late years been a great improvement in Cali*.
fornia in the matter of the breeding of fine dogs, especially
for field purposes. Formerly but little attention was paid
to the important matter of preserving the purity of blood-
lines, but ttiis indifference is rapidly disappearing, and now
all intelligent sportsmen recognize tbe advantages of pre-
serving undefined the pedigrees of their field comppnions.
There are now a number of first-class breeding kennels in
this State, both of pointers and setters, and California can
boast of as purely-bred and brilliant performers in the field
as any other part of the world. In San Francisco A. B. Tru-
man has a fine kennel of Irish setters; in Solano, George W.
Bassford is a prominent breeder of thorongh-bred pointers —
many of which have won distinction, both on the bench and
at field trials — and in Sacramento is located the "California
Kennel" of Messrs. Post and Watson, whose specialty is the
popular Llewellin breed of setters.

THE CALIFORNIA KENNEL.

A recent visit to the California Kennel in Sacramento afford-
ed an opportunity to examine three very fine litters of purely-
bred Llewellin Better pnps. The first inspected were by Load-
stone, out of Janet, all evenly marked — black and white and
black, white and tan; rive males and one female. Loadstone
is a raoy looking orange and white dog, imported from Ten-
nessee. He was Bired by that wonderful field trial winner,
Gladstone, whose fame has been heralded all over the world
wherever sportsmanship finds a group of devotees. Glad-
stone was imported in utero from England, hiB dam being
the famous Petrel, having been bred to Llewellin's Dan be-
fore being Bhipped to America. Dan, the sire of Gladstone,
is described by "Leatherhead," the leading English critic in
Bell's Life, published in London, and a leading authority on
matters penaining to sportsmanship, as follows:

So I am brought to the name of the greatest celebrity of
the day, Purcell Llewellin's Dan, by Barclay Field's Duke,
out of Mr. Sta:tei's Rhcebe. Duke was a winner of the field
trials at Stafford in 1886, 1887 aud 1888. Mr. Statter's celeb-
rity, Rhcebe, is looked upon as the Pocahontas in setter
breeding, as she not only hit remarkably well with the above
named Duke in producing Dan and a- whole litter besides of

%kt %x£t&zx mx& §>yovtsmm.

field-trial winters, bat she also nicked well with several pure
Laverack setters, as, for instance, to old Bine Dash she pro-
dnoed Bruce, a winner at Shrewsbury, and perhaps as good a
dog as ever sportsman shot to, besides Rob Roy, Rose and
Rooy, all winners, to Fred II. , a Laverack. Sbe had the
knack of throwing them all good, but she ueverhad a grander
looking one than Mr. Llewellin's Duke, a wonderfully fine
setter, possessing tremendous boue, and built to gallop on
every line. He won the only event he waB ever entered for
at field trials, including the champion cup; but then he put
his shoulder out, and was consequently never seen in public
again. However, Old George, Mr. Statter's breaker, who
brought out Rob Roy and the rest of Mr. Statter's noted
ones, has always declared that Dan was the beBt one he ever
broke in his life, and he has certainly proved this merit,
which he inherited from Duke and RnceDe, down to future
generations, as undoubtedly Dan has proved a great stud
succesH. He is the sire of * * * Countess Bear, Countess
Moll, Nora, Novel and Noma, all field-trial winners, and such
good ones as Count Dick * * (sire of Count Wind'em,

spoken of farther on). It is, of coarse, an undoubted fact
that he has had some extraordinarily good chances, for there
are only two other bitches in the whole of England that can
be compared to Mr. Llewellin's CountesB, Nellie and Lill, in
any degree whatever. The best setter bitches in the world
I have often Btated Countess and Nellie to be, and I fear no
contradictions on the subject.

Loadstone's dam Flounce, was sired by Champion Druid
out of another great brood bitch, Ruby (American). Druid
won five English 6eld trials, and was imported by Arnold
Bulges, of Hillsdale. Mich., at a cost of S700, and was full
brother to the field trial crack, Drake, owned by Luther
Adams of Boston. Ruby (American) was sired by Rake, out
of Fanny, a cross that ia now more sought after than any
other by breeders. Rake was also by Dan, out of Ruby (En-
glish), a sister to Champion Rob Roy. Loadstone is a full
brother to the trial winners. Gay Gladstone, Florence Glad-
stone and Lindo, and a full brother in blood to those other
trial winners. Sportsman, Gladstone's Boy, Dan Gladstone,
Lillian and Keystone, the latter five being ont of Sue.
Flounce was full sister to the winnerB Sue, Buckellew, Juno
A. and Flaxy.

JAUET, THE DAM OF THE LITTER.

First referred to was imported from Dowling, Mich., and
was sired by Count Noble, out of Dashing Novice, and was a
winner at the California trials held in Marin County in 1885,
and was also the dam of Haroldine, who performed so bril-
liantly in the Derby of 1887.

Count Noble was imported from Mr. Llewellin's kennel in
England in 18S0, and that year won the National Derby run
at Vincennes, Ind., and he has won at several trialB since.
Count Noble has been one of the few great sires of the world.
Among the famous performers got by nim are Gath, Roderi-
go, Carrie J., Nellie Bly, Countess Magnet, Sweetheart. Ja-
net, San Roy, Count Piedmont, Katie D , Dashing Noble,
Oliver Twist, Prince Noble, Bohemian Girl, Fred G., and
others, all winners in the hottest company. But then Count
Noble's prepotency is not so mach a matter of surprise when
one considers his breeding, he being by Count Wind'em out
of Nora. Count Wind'em was conceded to be the handsom-
est setter in Europe, and was a crack field trial winner as
well. Mr. Llewellin refused $4,000 offered by A. H. Moore
of Philadelphia, for Count Wind'em, and at another time an
offer of $5,000 from an English gentleman.

Count Wind'em waB sired by Count Dick, out of the beau-
tiful bitch Phantom, litter sister to Petrel, dam of Gladstone;
and, with her equally beautiful sisters. Puzzle and Princess,
Mr.'Llewellin swept the decks in their classes at bench shows
for a number of seasons. In 1S79 Mr. L. H. Smith, of
Stratbroy, Ont., visited England. Mr. Smith is undoubtedly
one of the best judges of field dogs on this side of the ocean,
having imported a nurnbeT of the beBt and bred a number of
field trial winners. While in England he was invited by Mr.
Llewellin to the latler's seat in Leicestershire, Ormsby Hall.
In the American Field of August 30, 1879, Mr. Smith, in
describing the dogs in Mr. Llewellin's kennel, thus speaks of
Count Wind'em: "Soon Wind'em was walking across the
floor of the fine old dining-room. I wish I c-uld describe him
bo that those who read this could imagine they see him, but
1 cannot. * * * He is a beauty of beauties, and the
king of dogs. To see him on game, as I did, is something
one can never forget. Money can't buy Wind'em — I wish it
could. I will not say what I would give for him; if I did I
have no doubt some of my friends would consider me a very
fit subject for a lunatic asylum."

The reporter for the American Field, in reporting the
English trials held in April, 1879, writes of Count Wind'em:
"Many gentlemen present stated that they considered Count
Wind'em the grandest-looking Better that has ever appeared
at any of the trials, while the way in which he doeB his work
speaks for itself."

Count Noble's dam, Nora, was a great field trial bitch, and
do doubt Noble owes much of his fire and dash to hiB brilliant
mother. Nora was from one oi the best crosses that Mr.
Llewellin ever made, viz., tne Dan-Nellie cross, as it pro-
duced the three great sisters, Nora, Novel and Noma.

Dashing Novice, Janet's dam. divides with Sue the honor
of being the best bitch ever raced in public trials in America.
Dashing Novice was whelped in Mr. Llewellin's kennel in
England, and in April, 1881, when only Dine months old,
won third in the English Derby, and in December of the
same year won first in the National Derby at Grand Junc-
tion, Tenn. She also won ihe Pennsylvania Derby in the
same year, and has won at other trials since. Dashing Nov-
ioe is superbly bred, being by Dash II., out of Novel. Dash
II., was sired by Blue Prince, out of Armstrong's Kate, she
by Laverack's Old Blue DaBh, out of Old Kate, a sister to the
great winner, Dnke, spoken of above.

Dash II. was a beautiful dog of almost faultless form, and
was selected by Stoneheoge, thenuthorityon the proper form
of dogs4he world over, to illustrate the English setter in his
last edition of "Dogs of the British Islaods." DaBh II. won
five Eoglish field trials, aod was then purchased by Mr. Llew-
ellin at'the long price of $1,650, and for his new owner sired
three different winners of the English Derby, viz: Dashing
Bondhu, Dashing Ditto and Dashing Clinker. The former,
in addition to winning the Derby, also wod the aged stake
while still in his puppy form, beating the great crack, Mac-
dona's Ranger.

Novel (Dashing Novice's dam) is beat described by G.
Thorpe Bartram, the English correspondent of the American
Field, in his "Notes on the English Field Trials of 1880,"
which appeared in that paper on June 10th of that year.

»8peaking of Novel, he says: "As to Purcell Llewellin's Nov-
el has fallen the lion's share of honors. I shall, therefore,
Rive her first place. She having won in the brace stakes and
'also run through the mixed age! stakes at Debden, entitles
her to the 'blue ribbon' of the season, and she well deserves
the prizes awarded to her. In appearance she is a beauliful
animal. She is perfectly broken, requires no looking after

at all, is as stanch aa a rock, exhibits do jealousy, and is first
class at bacKing. She exhibits a lovely temper, as seen by
the anxiety she displays in obeying her instructions. It will
be remembered by your readers that she was oDly pnt out of
a big stake in 1878 in the l*st round by Dash II." Bred to
the latter dog, she threw Dashing Novice, the dam of the
California Kennel's JaDet. "Leatberhead," in Bell's Life,
said of Novel, "I should doubt if there is any setter living
that conld beat the beautiful bitch Novel."

THE NEXT LITTER EXAMINED

Was a beautiful lot of four dogs and three bitches, all evenly
marked — orange and white — by Loadstone, out of Enid. Enid
is a hanaaome orange and white bitch, imported from Georgia,
Bired by Gleam, out of Doe, and is a half-sister
to the field trial bitch Daisy F., and is an exceedingly well-
brei one. Gleam was sired by Lincoln, out of Blaze. In
1877, Harry Bishop and Joseph A. Dew, two wealthy resi-
dents of Tennessee, concluded to establish a first-class kennel
of Llewellin setters and cast about for a stud dog. J. C. Hig-
gins, of Wilmington, Delaware, brother of the present
United States Senator from that State — who is also very fond
of setters — had, a few months before, imported from Mr.
Llewellin's kennel the dog Lincoln, by Dan, ont of Lill II.
Messrs. Dew and Bishop journeyed to Wilmington and in-
spected Lincoln, and were greatly pleased with him, but
thought they would go to England and see what they could
do there in the way of getting a stud dog to meet their fancy,
and also some bitches. They went and found nothing that
money would buy that suited them as well as Lincoln, al-
though they offered $3,000 for Count Wind'em; so, when
they returned they purchased Lincoln for §1,500, and placed
him at the head of the Montview KeDnel at Columbia, Tenn.

Lincoln, after their purchase of him, won first in the aaed
stake at Patoka in 1879, and first in brace stakes with Count
Fred, and many of the LiDcoln partisans always claimed that
Lincoln was the peer of Gladstone in the held, although the
dogs never met in competition. When in England Messrs.
Dew aDd Bishop purchased from Mr. Llewellin the bitch
Countess Bear, winner of the first English Derby, and before
starting for America bred her to Reed's Sam a winner of
eight English field trials. Countess Bear was sired by Dan
out of Countess.

About 18S0 the Montview kenuel was broken up, and
Countess Bear was advertised for sale at $7^0. As soon as
Mr.Llewellin heard of it he cabled across and bought her back
at that price. After she arrived again in England she whelp-
ed two winners of the English Derby, viz; Dashing Bondbu
and Dashing Clinker, while Daahing Beauty, sister to Dash-
ing Bondhu. won the puppy stake at Mansfield the same
year that Bsndhu won, beating a field sixteen. These three
were sired by Dash II. Countess, the dam of Countess Bear,
when she came out, was the most beautiful bitch that had
ever been seen in public in England, and while she swept
the bench by her beauty and perfect form, she also cleaned
up most of the prizes at fiela trails by her wondeful speed,
range and nose.

CounteBB Bear, shortly after arriving in this country,
whelped to her service by Sam, and Blaze was one of the few
— if not the only one — that reached maturity. From the
crossing of Blaze with Lincoln came Gleam. Doe, the dam
of Enid, was sired by Buckellew, a trial winner, out of Brim-
stone, the latter by Gladstone out of Swaze, by Rake out of
Fanny. Thus Enid, through her dam, Doe, gets one cross
of Gladstone, one of Druid, and two of Rake-Fanny.

The Dext lot of youngsters to be inspected was

A LITTER BY HAROLD, OUT OF SUNLIT.

Sunlit and her dam, Sweetheart, are the pride of the Cali-
fornia Kennel. Sunlit is a bitch of the highest form. She
can boast of having more field trial winners in her pedigree
than any setter in the world, barring her brothers and sis-
ters. Out of her first fourteen anceBfors twelve are field trial
winners, and she herself won the California Derby of 1888,
with but nine days' handling. Broueht home after her run
in the derby, she laid around her kennel yard until three
weekB before the trials last January, when she was taken to
Bakersfield, hunted eight times and started in the aged
stakes in which she beat her first threeopponeuts. Running
rank and willful, she was beaten for first, and then for sec-
ond by her litter brother, Sirius, she winning third.

She was sired by Sportsman, and is ont of Sweetheart.

Sportsman won the National Derby of 18S4, without an er-
ror, from one of the hottest fields that ever started, his full
brother, six months older (Gladstone's Boy) being Becond,
and his litter sister Lillian, dividing third. This was the
only Derby that Sportsman started in, and Gladstone's Boy
won the other two, viz.: the Eastern and Southern, and Lil-
lian won a place in each of them. Sportsman was sired by
Gladstone, out of Sue.

Sue's field trial record has never been equalled in Amer-
ica. She won first in three all-aged eventB, divided second
in another with Dashing Novice, and a champion stake with
Gath. A grand bitch herself, her progeny and their "prog-
eny's progeny" inherit her great qualities.

SWEETHEART, JANET'S LITTLE SISTER,

With only a few days' handling, divided second and third in
the California Derby of 1881. The great field qualities that
she displayed suggested to her owners that they ought to
select a dog fully her peer to which to breed her. The choice
was easily made, after surveying the field, and Sweetheart
was shipped by express to Tennessee to be bred to Sports-
man. After being bred she was expressed back to California,
and in due time she presented her owners with a beautiful
litter of eight, everyone perfectly marked, and all that came
to maturity proved to be tieldera. She whelped in May, aDd
the following November won the California all-aged stake at
Hanford from a good field of does, among them being LaBsie,
Tom Pinch, Mountain Bjv, DashiDg Money, and Royal
Duke II.

Harold, the sire of Sonlit's puppies, was imported from
TenneBsee. He ran second in the aged stake run at Hanford
in January, 1838. He is a little brother to Gath's Mark,
who won the Eastern ell-aged stake in 1886, when a puppy;
also to Gath's Hope, who won the National Derby of 18S6
aDd sired Dave R , who won the America Derby of 1887, as
also Gath's Pride, sire of Crofto-i, who won the Texas Derby
of 1889. Harold was sired by Gdth out of Gem.

Gath is called the "Phenomenal Gath," on account of the
remarkable brilliancy of bis public performances at field
trials. The expression "choke bore nose" and "Creedmoor
nose" were coined to describe the great distance at which he
would point birds. Gath was sired by Count Noble, ont of
Peep O'Day by Gladstone out of Clip, who was from that
splendid cross, Leicester— Dart.

Peep O'Day won a place in her derby year, first in an all-
aged stake, and other places at field trials, and was one of
the best bench hitches ever showD. Clip was also a field
trial winner. Gem, Harold's dam, was a grand bitch by
Gladstone out of Gazelle, by Druid out of Jolly May, by
Rob Roy out of Pocahontas, by Rock out of Dora. Gem
started but once, and that was in the rir»t series of the Na.

tional Derby of 1884, against Lillian, who won third. Mr.
Bryson, owner of Lillian, wrote concerning that contest,
that if Gem had not been interfered with by her handler she
would have beaten Lillian.

Rob Roy won the Shrewsbury championship and four
other trials in England, and was imported to America by Ar-
nold Burges at a cost of $1, 000.

Rock Wbs siied by Bruce, a winner of the Shrewsbury
championship, out of Daisy, a trial winner, and won the
Shrewsbury championship himself, and was then imported
to America by Lather Adams at a loDg price.

Limited space forbids anything like a description of the
noted dogs thus briefly relerred to, but this partial state-
ment of the records made by them indicates the sort of field
dogs that are now being bred in California.

The London Stook Keeper has these strictures upon the
recent movement by the American Kennel Club to make the
rendering of official reports by dog show judges to the Amer.
jean Kennel Gazette, obligatory.

For an institution in a Republican country, we mast say
the American Kennel Club is an extraordinarily autocratic
body. Its last imperial decree, insists that judges shall fur-
nish reports for publication in their official organ, and. con-
sidering fhat the judges are gentlemen who discharge the ju-
dicial duties with no other retnrn than that very empty
one — "the honor of the thing," an observer cannothelp being
struck with tbe curious idea of blending an onerous obliga-
tion with an honorary office.

Tbe committee of the American Kennel Club probably
smooths out any objections to this proposal with the excuse
that appears to satisfy all doubts on sporting subjects in the
United States: "It's English, you know."

But Is this Eoglish? We think we can show our Trancatlan-
tic cousins that they have misunderstood the practice in this
country, and have gone far beyond what is done by our club.
The Eoglish Club would never have ventured upon such an
arrogant step as insisting that all judges at Bhows held un-
der Kennel Club Rules should write the reports for their
paper. The utmost that they do is to forward a polite ap-
peal to tbe judges at their own shows for their notes on the
classes they judged. This courteous request is often acceded
to, and sometimes not. To many men such a task is not
easy — nay, it is even disagreeable, and we are pleased to say
that in this monarchical country we are too independent to
be bullied into doing other people's work. If our commiteea
with their invitations to judge were to couple the request for
a gratuitous report, they would have to create a new breed
of judges, for the body of men who at present give their
services gratis would draw the line at being compelled to act
as reporters at tbe same time.

The American Field is of opinion that their club is justified
in making this demand, and says they "cannot see why a
competent and honest judge should refuse to report." We
don't see what competence and honesty have to do with the
question; it is rather an affair of complaisance. Our corn-
temporary oontinues: "If a judge cannot give a reason for
an award, he is not competent; and if he will not give it he
is open to suspicion. In either instance, he is unfit for the
position, and the sooner it is known the better." There is
so much haughty contempt for the liberty of the subject dis-
played in this sentiment, that we are quite prepared to read
that reticent judges have been delivered into the hands of
the hangman. It must be a fine thing to live in a free coun-
try. ,

BASE BALL.

Base Ball Briefs.

Finn's new pitcher, Clarke, is a dandy, despite his weak
showing last Sunday. He has a innst deceptive change of
pace, while his curves and drop ball will fuol the strongest
batter. Clarke will make monkeys of the Oakland sluggers
before the season ends.

Robinson denies that he intend? to purchase the Sacra-
mento franchise. It is to be hoped the Colonel speaks the
truth, but it is generally believed that he has a longing to
hold as much power in the league as Harris. Nobody thinks
for a moment that the latter his disposed of his. interest in
the local club, but on the contrary he virtually controls both
the San Franoiscos and Stocktons. The patrons of the game
are williog to submit to this, but should Robinson buy oat
the Sacraroentos and thus place the league clubs under the
control of two men, for foxy Tom would not let go of his in-
terest in the Oaklands, there would, be a large sized rebellion,
and the California League would soon be in a large-sized
hole. There has been too much scheming in the California
League already and the magnates had better let well enough
alone. The only thine that can be said in favor of the plan
is that Robinson would take O'Neill to Sacramento, aod the
"poet," "general," "ball player" and loud-mouthed coaoher
would Dot be seen bo often on tbe home grounds.

Milt Whitehead will not be seen on a California diamond
again this season and probably not at all. The great in-
fielder is broken down in health and has betaken himself to
his beloved ark on the San Joaquin, where, amid his guns
and dogs, he hopes to bnild himself up again. Next season
will in all likelihood see him in a National League uniform,
as he is thoroughly disgusted with California base ball.
Whitey will be a "find" for any team.

John Montgomery Ward is making a holy show of himself
with his crazy brotherhood scheme. The plan has "failure"
stamped on the face of it, and the ball players are foolish to
allow themselves tn be drawn into it. Ward haa always been
a disturbing element in the National League, ,\ud John B.
Day would lastingly benefit the game by placing the bantam
shortstop on the black list, and let him sink into the obscur-
ity he deserves. Such met.- as Ward are better off the dia-
mond than on it.

Whitehead's i!lne3B is a severe blow to Finn's chances of
winning the pennant. Pete Sweeney haB been signed to
cover third boy for the 'Friscos, but any man who cannot
keep up with the Wnshingtons, is altogether too slow for a
California League team. This was amply demonstrated last
Sunday.

Jack Donahue has been engaged by Mono to act with
Sheridan as umpire. Donahue will hist in tli«t position about
three weeks, when he will go tbe way of Foreman, Young,
Sylvester, and tbe rest of them. Dig up Bomebody wno is
capable of filling the position, Mr. Mone!

GleaBon has seen fit to release O'Day for "trying to down
Zeigler." There is no need of anybody trying to "down" the
ex-Wheeling twirler; he will "Jown" himielf. By the way,
when will tbe Sacramento Club seen re a manager who is
capable of judging a ball player when he sees one?

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — lam instructed by the
Bjard of Directors of this society, to request that you pub-
lish a correction of your report of the race between Emma
Temple, Hazel Kirke and Belle B., trotted over our course on
Aug. 29th, in which you Bay that in the last i eat of the race
Emma Temple fouled Belle B., and imply that by reason of
the foal Emma Temple won the heat and race. The judges
of that race have stated that the fact is that Belle B. fouled
Emma Temple, and that she won notwithstanding, and the
Board ask that in justice to the owner, the driver, and the
mare, you make the correction. Yours truly,

Wm. P. Edwards, Seo'y.

Margaret S.
All California trotting horse breeders have been on the
tiptoe of excitement for the past week, hopeingand trust-
ing that the representative from the Golden State, would
be able to win the Spirit of tbe Times Futurity Stake at
Cleveland, Ohio, October 8th. The day has come and
gone and California has had another laurel added to her
wreath. Margaret S. won easily in straight heats, as the

following telegram shows:

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 8th.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman, S. F.:— Margaret S. won
in three straight heats with great ease. M. Salisbury.

As soon as the news was received the leadiug head-
quarters of sporting men were thronged with enthusias-
tic horsemen, and the event of the day was the sole topic
of conversation. Many regrets were expressed that she
had not been pushed a little to show her speed, but stil^
congratulations were in order, and Andy McDowell had
to shake hands with almost every one he met, while J.
H. Neal, the Secretary of the Pleasanton Stock Farm
Company, came in for an equal share of sympathetic ex-
pressions, he having come down from the farm to learn
the news. One of the contestants in the race was For-
tuna, by Florida, owned by J. W. Know, who is well
known to all breeders of California, and from the news-
paper reports it was thought the brown filly might prove
a formidable opponent to Margaret S. However, the
summary given below shows that there was really noth-
ing to fear from her. For the full particulars we will
have to await news from our Cleveland correspondent,
simply giving the result as telegraphed.

P. C. T. H. B. A.

On Thursday evening the directors of the above mentioned
association met at the office oi this paper and made their final
arrangements for the forthcoming meeting, which begins to
day at the Bay District track. From the class of horseB
entered, there is every prospect of this being one of the most
brilliant raoing gatherings ever held In the State. The track
has been especially prepared for fast work, and it will be a
great surprise if several of the present records are not cat
down.

Oar Futurity Stake.

There can be no doubt now as to the result of the Breed-
er and Sportsman Futurity Stake for trotting foals of 1890.
Applications are being made, and nominations sent in almost
daily, proving that tbe Bmall breeders of California, appreci.
ate the effort that has been put forward in their behalf. With
the united aid of all interested, this will be one of tbe richest
stakes ever trotted for in the United States by youngsters
and will also be the means of advertising the almost illimita,
ble resourses of California in the matter of raising trotters.
Any person desiring entry blanks can secure them by mak-
ing applications at this office.

Shall Facers be Registered.

For some years there has been a strong inclination
on the part of many breeders to have pacers registered,
so that whatever benefits in tbe way of honors accrue
to trotting families from the produce "going better than
a thirty gait," might he enhanced by the acceptance of
the records of the sidewheel fraternity, even if those who
make the laws saw tit to place the mark at a lower
rate of speed than is now in vogue for the trotters. As
no action has ever heen taken by the National Trotting
Horse Breeders' Association, a meeting was held at
Nashville on the 18th of last month to perfect an organ
ization in the interest of pacing horse owners through
which it was hoped their claims might in future be
brought before the National Board and relief granted
them. In the current auniber of Wallace's Monthly
there is an able article on the question which shows it is
more than probable the near future will see the now be-
littled pacer thought more of, and the sire and dam re-
ceiving proper credit. The article is as follows:

For several years we have not said a word aboat admitting
the pacers to standard rank, but "we have kept up a terrible
thinking" all the Bame. Believing, as we do, that the pace
and the trot are one and the same gait, interchangeable and
inter transmissible, and that speed at the trot comes from
speed at the pace, it would be strange if we did not recognize
the value of pacing blood and insist that it should
have all the honors to which it is entitled for what it has
done and what it is still doing. The time will come when
the pacer will be welcomed to his just rank, bat whether it
has yet arrived remains to be seen. When we first advanoed
the idea that the naoe and the trot were merely two different
manifestations of the same gait we were laughed at. But
now all intelligent aod thinking men see that we were'right.

In the matter of legislation and rank there is a cause
growing out of the oneness of the two gaits that constantly
operates in depleting tbe strength of the pacing element, and
this same cause will operate powerfully against the strength
of any pacing association that may be formed. We here refer
to the oonstant transfer of producing pacers from the pacioc-
ranks to the trotting-ranks. To illustrate this we tarn any-
where and find a picing mare that has produced a 2:30 trot-
ter, and this makts her a standard trottiDg mare. She has
also produced a pacing colt that in time becomes the sire of

a 2:30 trotter. This colt has a standard dam, and these two
facts make him a standard trotting sire. Here, then, we have
the old mare and the young stallion, both pacing bred, and
both taken out of (he ranks of tbe paoers and inserted in the
ranks of the trotters. If there was a pronounced antagonism
between tbe pace and tbe trot, the pacer might hold bis own,
but owing to the plasticity and oneness of the two gaits the
pacers will continue to increase in numbers till all that is of
real value in the different tribes will be absorbed in the stand-
ard ranks of the trotters. This is really the best argument,
and indeed the only argument that can be urged against the
policy of a separate organization for the development and
registration of the pacer, as a pacer.

In the past ten years the pacer has advanced almost im-
measurably in the popular estimation, and the chief element
in his enhanced value is the fact that is now known of all
men that he is a great transmitter of trotting speed. He elec-
trifies us with his tremendous flights, bat tbe Bolid founda-
tion of his popularity is in the fact that he is faster and
cumes to his speed with less work than tbe trotter. It has
been charged sometimes that he is faint-hearted, bat we have
never been convinced that he is less courageous than the av-
erage of the trotters and runners. He has so much speed
and is often driven with so little judgment, that he exhausts
himself in the first part of the course, and this lack of judg-
ment and unskillful handling have given rise to the impres-
sion that he is wanting in courage and staying qualities.

In answering the question ' as to the desirability of form-
ing a pacing organization" we must consider it in the light of
tbe condition of things as suggested above. Whatever is
right is "desirable," and there can be no doubt about the ab-
stract right of tbe fast pacer to standard rank; but tbe pro-
cess of absorption is rapidly carrying the best pacing lines
into the trotting standard at any rate, and we must consider
what will be left for the pacing standard.

The second question as to "what the standard should be as
compared with the trotting standard" is not easily answered
on any philosophical ground, and we will therefore suggest
that the popular opinion would probably demand that 2:25
pacing should be considered equal to 2:30 trotting. Then
when the rules are changed so as to require a faster rate than
2:30 for admission to standard rank the 2.25 would be re-
duced accordingly.

As to the third question we are not prepared to give a def-
inite answer; for although we are supposed to know as much
on this point as anybody else, we really do not know what
it would amount to as a separate publication. We know that
the pacers were very numerous and very fast long before the
first thoroughbred reached this country. We know also that
no thoroughbred ever paced, and yet there are plenty of fools
in the world who insist that the pacer came from the thor-
oughbred. The troth is that while we know something of
the extreme antiquity of the pacer, we know but little of his
immediate lines of descent. There are plenty of boys and
"bums" editing "horse departments" in country newpapers
everywhere who would be glad of the job to compile a pacing
register, bat the employment of Bach a compiler would be
the immediate death of the enterprise and the mortification
of all oonnected with it. If the organization should be form-
ed, and if the project of compiling and publishing a book of
pedigreeB should be determined upon, we would make a care-
ful study of the situation and determine as near as possible
just what such a publication would amount to, embracing
the material not embraced in the Trotting Register.

Since the foregoing was put in type, we have received the
following from Maj. Campbell Brown, of Spring Hill, Tenn.,
and it presents the question so ably that it should receive
the oareful consideration of every member of the National
Association of Trotting- Horte Breeders. A State Association
has been formed in Tennessee, and this movement will be
followed in several other States. The trend of public opin-
ion is strongly toward doing justice to the pacer:

Bear Sir: Yon may have seen a call for a meeting of
breeders of pacing-horses to be held at Nashville, September
18th, to organize an association. The meeting was held and
was very strongly attended, and much interest shown. It
was determined to organize a State Breeders' Association, to
take Btepe for verifying, recording and preserving our pedi-
grees, and to urge tbe formation of other State associations,
or rather the holding of meetings in other States, with a view
to forming a national association. There ib a feeling among
breeders of pacing horses that the time has come when they
should be recognized as entitled to equal consideration with
trotting horses, when the practical identity of the two gaits
should be admitted in the records, as it is upon tbe turf and
the road, and when speed at the pace should entitle a horse
to equal recognition with speed at the trot. I do not mean
that we claim for the pacer a 2:30 standard. But, speaking
for myself, I think a 2:25 pacer ought to rate with a 2:30 trot-
ter at least.

Many gentlemen seem to favor the issue of a Paoing Regis-
ter, entirely distinct from the Trotting Register; some of
them because they think it a judicious Btep, others because
they despair of recognition by the trotting horse interest.
But I think quite the majority of paciog-horse breeders, both
in numbers and prominence, would prefer that the same
hands which have bnilt up tbeTrottiDg Register should take
charge of our interest also, believing the two so interwoven
that they cannot advantageously be separated.

Can you not move in this matter? Our people (I apeak
now for the pacing-horse ownerB) find themselves bo - ham-
pered that they are simply compelled to have some means of
placing their pedigrees upon record. Your book, if opened
to them, would furnish just what they desire, ready at hand
and carrying authority. If it must continue to exclude ttem
they will be forced to seek a montbpiece and a record else-
where. I know your favorable opinion of the pacer, tbe
value you assign to him as furnishing an element of speed
in the trotter, and your inclination to open the door to him.
Is not tbe time come when this must be done? The pacer
has "shown up" tremendously this year, especially among
trotting-bred horBes; and associations which have hereto-
ford ignored him have been compelled to give him hiV place,
as at Lexington, where for the first -time they have opened
two paoing races— the free for all and the 2:16 class.

It seems to me that it will be a misfortune to both sides if
we are compelled to set un oar tent outside of tbe trotting
interest, instead of joining with it, and I hope that we shall
not be compelled to do it. When I think of Roy Wilkes,
2:13|; Adonis, 2:14; Don Pizarro, 2:14$, etc , as not entit-
led to registry by reason of performance, where any trotter
that can scramble end shuffle along in 2:30 gets in, I do not
blame the rules, for they were all right enough when they
were made, bnt I think it time they were changed.

Very sincerely yours, Campbell Brown.

ROHNERVILLE.

The Ninth District Agricultural Association, held their an-
nual fair at Bohnerville. The large and enthusiastic crowds
that turned out each day showed that Humboldt is quite a
sporting country. Since last year a good deal has been done
for tbe convenience of the officials and spectators, the notice-
able feature being a compact and commodious stand for
judges, the press, and timers, While a lofty, spacious, grand
stand has been built for the convenience of the ladies. Tbe
fair opened on Tuesday, Sept. 24th. A magnificent band
discoursed sweet strains to tbe vast crowds of people who
were on the grounds early in the day, while at 10 o'clock the
stock parade took place and as thelong string of animals tiled
past, it was generally concedeo that they were a credit to
the country, H. S. Hogoboom's and W. H. Smith's entries
being particularly admired. The cattle parade was also very
good, Shorthorns, Jerseys, AyrBhires, Holsteius and Here-
fords being all well represented. As soon as the cattle parade
was over the first race was culled up, G. C. Barber, H. M.
Devoy and W. S. Lamb officiating in the judges' stand. The
first race was a district half mile and repeat, with three en-
tries. S. Brown'B S B. was made a red hot favorite in the poolB
and when racing started at 11 o'clock, the starter got them
away at the tirst attempt. S. B. was in front all the way,
winning tbe heat by two lengths in 0:56£.

When they came out for the second heat there was again
very little delay. S. B. under a strong pull laid back until
half the distance, when he was given his head and cantered
home an easy second. Time 0:55.

The deciding heat was postponed until after lunch, when
tbe judges seriously warned the riders againbt attempting to
hold either of their horses, and when the flag fell S. B.
jumped off in front and won easily by two lengths. Time,
0:55}.

Tbe 2:40 trot was called up at 11 o'clock. Hogoboom's
Waldstein was deemed such a certainty that hardly any
pools could be Bold. Waldstein had tbe pole and trotting
bteadily drew away from bis opponent, going under the wire
in 2:33}, with Steinway badly distanced.

The special trot for named horses had only two starters,
but produced a hard race. When the pair came out Billy
was too fast while scoru g up and when the bell sounded
went right out, but breaking on the turn was five lengths be-
hind at the quarter, and settling down he trotted steadily,
and gaining on his opponent down the stretch had the heat
won at the drawgate when he broke badly. Able taking tbe
heat. Time, 2 49}. After the usual interval they came out
agdin and got away at the first attempt, with Able slightly
in front. Billy, however, went clean past him on the turn,
and never being headed, jogged home foar lengths in front.
Time, 2:48.

I he third heat wu? soon over. Able trotting fast took the
inside position on the turn, but leaving his feet was passed
by Billy, who trotted very steadily to the head of the stretch,
where Able closed up and with the leader breaking was two
lengths in front when Billy settled down, and in a hard driv-
ing finish beat him a length. Time, 2.45|.

Pools which had been chopping and ohanging on
every heat, now sold even up, and when tbe word was given
both horses were going steadily. Able led to the quarter
when he broke badly, while Billy trotted a*ay and won read-
ily by ten lengths.

The fifth and deciding heat was a good thing for Billy,
who was in front all the way, winning easily. Time; 2:45$.

The grounds were again well filled, the day being very fine,
while a gentle breeze made it much more enjoyable. When
the first race, six furlongs and repeat, was called up, four
horses responded, and at 11:30, after a few false starts, the
flag was dropped with Lucky Dan slightly in front, Nighttime
second. Dan set the pace and increased his lead in the firtt
quarter,while Why Not passed Nighttime and went in hoi
pursuit of the leader, and catching him in the stretch after a
jostling finish won the heat. Susie D just beat Ban for the
place. A complaint of foul riding was made against Beard,
but the judges did not allow the foul. The second heat was
an easy thing for Why Not, who got off in front and stayed
there, winning readily in 1:21}.

The Equestrienne tournament was the next and the most
interesting feature of the day's proceedings. After the usual
exercises by the three contestant had been gone through,
Miss Gertrude Campton, a local young lady, was awarded
first prize, while Miss B. Cowan and Miss Jessie Strain, of
Eureka, were given second and third prizes. At halt past
one, Nancy Moor and Able came out together for the three-
year-o'd and under trot. The gelding is a three-year-old,
while the tilly won the two-year-old race the day previously.
When the word was given Able went off in front and Btayed
there to the distance, when he broke badly, the filly taking
the heat in 2:56.

When they were sent away for the second heat, Able
trotted very steadily and drawing away from the game little

Ira went out half a length in front of Fatchen, and both trot-
ting steadily kept the same positions until the stretch, when
Ira looked a sure winner, thouehboth were being driven hard,
and Ira breaking at the distance post was beaten ont a length-
Time, 2:26$.

At half past two the three turned out for the second heat,
Patchen took the lead from the wire, but at the quarter Ira
challenged Patchen, and passing him at once led three

wire a leDgth in front. Time, 2:25}.

Tbe third heat was about the same as the second. Ira
took the lead before the turn, and trotting in grand style won

both Patchen's and Cling's sulkies rattled against Ira's,
knooking out a spoke or two. Ira broke badly, while Patoh

Oakland, Oct. 6, 1889. Henry Pierce,

People began to pour in at a very early hour from the coun-
try and the vast concourse swelled to such an extent, that at
nine o'clock all teams and buggies were switched off into an
adjacent field. At half past nine when the stock parade took
place, the directors had every reason to be proud of the grand
success before tbem. Over 4,000 people were on the grounds
while the stam'U and enclosures were rilled. The association
and the private stands were packed with a brilliant gathering
of ladies. The weather although rather cold in the morning,
waB nice and warm in the afternoon. After the parade the
first race was a mile and a qoarter with three entries. Why
Not Bold favorite in what few pools were sold. At the third
attempt the trio were Btarted with Lucky Ban in front. When
they pasBed the stand Dan was a length in front of Why Not
with Nighttime thirty yards back. Why Not oloBed up on
Dan round the turn, while Nighttime hard ridden up the back-
stretch, waa within two lengths of the leaders at the upper
turn but died away to nothing in the stretch, and Why Not
beat Lucky Dan a neck after a whipping finiBh. Time,
2:19$.

At half past one, in the trot for named horses, four turned
out, selling evenly in the pools. As the heats were split up,
this and the free for all race were trotted in alternate heats.
A good deal of time was wasted in scoring for the word when
the quartette were finally started Billy Kid went out in
front, with Abel second. Abel, driven hard, went to the
frooton the tarn, and taking the inside went on and won
easily, Billy Kid second. Time 2:42.

After scoring up a few times the bell was tapped, and Able,
going well, soon was trfo lengths in front of his field. Backet
was urged up the backstretch and got within a length of Abel
at the head of the stretch, and with both driven hard down
the straight, was beaten half a length. Poscora Haywood
should have been distanced, but was not. Time 2:45$.

When the third heat was called Abel went off in lront, but
breaking badly at the first tarn, Billy Kid went past him, and
trotting steadily had a good lead at the half, witn Backet sec-
ond. Billy Kid trotted borne easily, while Backet broke at
the drawgate, and was passed by Abel, who tinished second.
Time 2:47.

Before the fourth heat Abel upset his sulky, but no dam-
age was done. When the bell ^as tapped Abel broke badly,
while Billy Kid and Backet went out for the heat, Billy hav-
ing a length the best of it to the half, when Baoket closed
and both trotted evenly to the head ot the stretch, when Billy
left his feet and Backet took the heat in 2:43}, Poscora dis-
tanced. When they came ont for the fifth heat Abel was
dead tired and broke before the tnrn, while the other pair
went together to the half and round the turn, when both
broke and Billy caught first and was going fast when Backet
came up to him again, but breaking was beaten for the heat
in 2:43.

The sixth heat was a very pretty race between Billy Kid
and Baoket to tbe head of tbe stretch, when both broke sev-
eral times, running under the wire with Billy half a length
in front of Kachet. There whb a good deal of tall kioking,
but the judges gave the beat to Billy. Time, 2:454.

The free for all trot was a very interesting race between
Patchen and Ira. The first heat was very closely contested.

Horses at Bay District.

Unusual signs of activity have been noticed for some weekj
at the Bay District track. The track itself has been reclayed
and improved in many places, and before the rain was faster
probably than it haB ever been, and there was — and is— every
indication that several records would be smashed at the initial
meeting of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Asso-
ciation. A number of horses have steadily been undergoing
preparations there, and after San Jose and Fresno they were
reinforced by the circuit horses. On Wednesday last a small
but select crowd of horsemen were out to Bee bow the horses
were working and looking; among tbe spectators were Messrs.
Ariel Latbrop, Lee Bose, Quinton, Gonzales, Bradbury,
Tompkins and Dr. Bowhill.

As the traok was not in condition for work in the morning
a look through the stables was deemed advisable. Marvin
and Scott Quinton have stalls in the same row, the iast
one, in the rear of the grand stand. The Palo Alto Stable
has eleven representatives, Palo Alto, 2:133; Sunol, 2 : 1 3f ;
Aral, 2:24; Eva W. 2:25$; Colma, a;three-year-old grey filly by
Electioneer out of Sontag Mohawk; Wavelet, a bay four-year-
old by Piedmont out of Wave, the latter, Wave a nine-year-
old bay mare by Electioneer, dam Waxy; Sport, a five year-
old grey stallion by Piedmont, dam Sontag Mohawk, (dam of
Sallie Benton 2:16$; Eros, 2:17$); Anselma, a chestnut four-
year-old mare by Ansel 2:2U, dam Elaine 2:20, (dam of Nor-
laine yearling record 2:31); Bow Bells, a son of Electioneer
and Beautiful Bells and a splendid bay yearliDg filly by Elec-
tioneer, dam Lady Ellen 2:29$.

It is tbe present intention to give a record to as many as
possible. Marvin says they have eight or ten Electioneers
who would have brought up had it not been for distemper.
Scott Quinton has under his care fifteen bead from the Daly
Stable. Mascot and Favonia, were left on the ranch. He has
with him Yolo Maid witn a paoing record of 2:12; Lord By-
ron, 2:18; St. Patrick, paoer, 2:20; Hattie D., a three-year-old
Electioneer with a record of 2:26$; Prodigal, a three-year old
brother to Patron 2:14}; Senator, a bay stallion record 2:26$;
Baroness, a two-year-old daughter of Baron Wilkes; Nadjy a
brown two year-old tilly by Stamboul out of a Nutwood
mare was bought at Bose's Stock Farm for $3500 in New Yoi k

a brown yearlitg colt by Electioneer, dam by Geo. Wilkes; a
yearling cheBtnut filly by Senator, and a very pretty bay filly
by Electioneer out of a sister to Woodnut; and a lightish
chestnut yearling Guy Wilkes filly.

P. Williams has three useful looking horses, particularly

BILLIARDS.

The Saylor-McCleery match for $1,000 was the chief topic
in billiard circles last week. Plenty of coin changed hands,
but the play especially on McCleery's side wai very poor.
The Saylor party pledged themselves to match Ben to play
McOleery 1,000 points, even npfor$l,000 or more. Although
nothing definite ie known as ytt, still those who know the
Professor are confident that they will be obliged to come to
the front, as he don't relish a defeat, and, is, in fact, the
champion of the Coast. The records compiled byT. E. Bnll-
ock for McCleery's new book on billardB, arrived here on the
9tb, so the book will make its appearance shortly. We can
Bay that it is a most comprehensive work and valuable to
the expert, as well as to the amatear.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arpbippus.

The programme for the comiog Olympic Club games has
at last been iBsued, and the athletes are settling down in
earnest to hard work.

The wheelmen are still getting into trim for the pavilion
tournament, and the oarsmen are preparing themselves for
the great championship race which will take place early next
month.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

Horace Coffin is seriously thinking about competing in the
one mile walk on Thanks-giving Day. An athlete with Buoh
a clean record finds it very hard to keep off the track.

Phil Moody, of the P. A. C, will run in the "hundred."

McDonald, of the O. A. C , will stand a very fair chance of
winning the Novice race.

Chas. B. Hill, the ex-amateur champion -walker of the
Pacific Coast, has severed his connection with the Lick Ob-
servatory, and is at present in the employ of a prominent
insurance company on Sansome St., in this city. Mr. Hill
has fully decided not to appear on the cinder path again.

J. J. Larkey, the amateur sprinter, has started in to train
for the O. A. C. games. He will compete only in the one
hundred yards race.

William Zehfus thinks he will go in the walk.

The friends of Frank L. Cooley are confident that he will
win the mile run.

McArthnr has not as yet decided whether he will enter the
gamas or not.

Walter A. Soott has probably retired from the track for
good.

On Saturday. Oct. 5th, A. B. George, of the New York
Athletic Club, lowered the American amateur three mileB
runniog tecord of 15 min , 16 2-5 sec, made by E. C. Carter,
N»w York City, Sept. 17, 1887. George's time was 15 min-
utes, 11 1-5 6ecoDds.

Raye Lock, a local professional runner, was recently de-
feated in a mile run at Eureka, Cal. His opponent was a
straDger who boasted that be could ran any man in the world
a mile race. Lock believad the man was bluffing and so
made a match with him for a mile race for $100 a Bide. The
race took place immediately after the match was made, and
io his great surprise, Lock, who was out of condition, was
very eiaily defeated by the stranger, who turned out to be a
well known Eastern professional runner.

A member of the Y. M. C. A. of this city claimdto have run
one hundred yards at the games of the Y. M. C. A. of Vir-
ginia City, Nevada, IibI year in. the fast time of 10 1-5 sec-
onds. He intends competing in the Thanksgiving games.

Tbe programme of games for November 28th haa been is-
sued at last. Two of the events we take exception to, name-
ly, the standing high jump and tbe two hundred and twenty
yards' run, scratch. Quite a number of good men have been
training hard for some time past for the latter event, but now
that the race will be a scratch one, the chances are that the
entries will be limited to one or two. It is a great pity that
the Athletic Committee did not make this event a handicap.
The cutting out of the ronning high jump is also an-
other blunder, and all the good j.impers on tbe coast will be
debarred from competing iu the games. It has been hinted
that these changes io the programme were made in the inter-
est of a couple of members of the O. A. C. This rumor, of
course, weao not credit, but still we think the alteration Lev-
er should have been made.

At the Canadian championship games, held September
28tb, W. A. Burkbardt, tbe oue mile amateur ohampiou
walker of America, was disqualified for unfair walking. The
majority of the people present were of tbe opinion that
Bnrkhardt was the sqnarest walker oa the truck and that his
being ruled out meant "crooked husiness."

The University athletes are confident of winnnngthe cham-
pionship Aug for 1890.

Tom McGee is now working in his father's office on Mont-
gomery street, and will not attend the University any more
He will however continue to represent the W. A. C. at fnture
field days.

with a track and athletic grounds.

While engaged in a game of football at Newburg, N. Y., on
Sept.27tb, young Joe Donobue, the well known champion
skater, fell and badly sprained his kn. e, and he will be
obliged to nurse it for some weeks. This will moBt likely
necessitate a postponement of his trip to Europe with his
friend, G. M. L. Sacks, for the purpose of testing the powers
of the skaters of Norway and the region round about.

CHAMPIONS OF CANADA.

About five thousand persons gathered on the Rosedale
Lacrosse Grounds in Toronto, Oct., on Saturday afternoon,
September 2Stb, to wiineBs the annual competitions for the
championship of Canada, under the auspices of the Amatear
Athletic Association of Canada. Finer weather could not
have been had, barring a rather stiff north wind, wh ch inter-
fered somewhat with tbe performers on tbe cinder path.
Owing to recent heavy rains, however, the track, although
firm, was sodden and slow, proving a barrier to tbe making
of exceptionally fast time.

The New York clubB sent strong delegations to the meet-
ing, and, as usual, their representatives carried off the lion's
share of* the prizes; in fact, they took every contest but one,
tbe pole vault, and that was won by the representative of an
English organization, leaving the Canadian athletes minus a
single first prize, although they made a fairly good showing.
Only one new record was made, and that wub accomplished
in an exhibition throw of the "fifty-six" by J. S. Mitchell,
who sent the lump of iron a distance of 27ft 4in. Both Owen
and Westing were defeated in the "hundred," the former
falling in his heat when Copland was leading him by six feet,
and the Manhattanite being also beaten by his club-mate in
the final heat, in which they ran first and second. Copland
was unfortunate in the hurdle race, injuring his left leg above
the knee so badly between the third and fourth flights that
he had to be earned off the field and medically attended to.

Former best Canadian records were excelled in the ljng
jump, throwing the hammer and patting the 56-lb. weight,
while Pritchard did an excellent performance in the high
jump, clearing a height of 5ft ll£in. in an exhibition, after
having won at four inches less. Big and bronzed "Joe"
Queckberner was defeated in throwing the hammer, but in
an exhibition throw afterwardo he surpassed the distance
achieved by the winner. Summary:

quested to assemble in full uniform at the Sausalito Ferry at
8 o'clock. The run will be to Camp Taylor. The recent
rains have laid the dust and the roads will be in fine condi-
tion.

The membership of the Oakland Bicycle Club is rapidly
increasing.

In the Surf.
The Lurline Swimming Club has gone over to the Silent
few. That organization ceased to exist after the last meet-
ing. Discussion amongst the members appears to have been
the cause of the bursting of the Club.

Now that the wet weather has set in, the regular bathing
season will soon close. The bath houses at Santa Cruz, Mon -
terey, and Capitola are becoming de?erted as all the San
Francisco people are returning lo their homes.

The Shelter Cove and Terrace Baths did a rushing busi-
ness last Sunday.

At the Oars.
The bay was as smooth as glass on Sunday last, and sev-
eral crews were out for a practice spin.

Three crews from amongst the amateur members of the
Ariel Club were out as follows:

Crew No. 1. — I. I. Larkey, stroke; Louis F. Nunan,
W. P. Adams, bow; C. A. Lipp, cox; Charles Flass.

Crew No. 2.— Herman Bless, stroke; Ed. Finley,
George Pless, Johnson Hardy, bow; Master Pless,
cox.

Crew No. 3.— 1. 1. Larkey, H. O. Fan-ell, bow; P. N«
Gafney, Hy Tank, stroke; George Phelan cox:.

M. H. Growney of the Ariels took a spin in his single shell.
He looks in fine condition.

Leander Stevenson and Walter Biake were also out thtir
shells.

Fred JackBon the well-known oarsman of Vallejo was on
Long Bridge on Sunday and visited the boys at the different
boat houses. He stated that he would row on Thanksgiving
Day.

Louis Oser, of Stockton viBited the Ariel Club house on
Sunday.
The Epsy Amateur Crew iook a spin.

John Sullivan of his Pioneers took the shell out at 10
o'clock and did not show up until nearly three. Some of the
boyB suggested that he event ashore and fell asleep.

The South End Rowing Club held its first meeting this year
on Sunday last, On account of the meeting none of the
crews were out' It was decided to put the following crew in
the field for the professional race: McDowell; Duplesifs;
Doherty and Thomas.

The bi^ professional crew rowed to Hunters Point, where
they took a swim.

The Stockton crew are traini ng fai thfully for the profession-
al championship race. They evidently mean mischief.

The Ariels professional crew was not appointed until a
few days ago, and will hardly make as good a showing as if
they had longer time to practice. However, they will be
close up ae tbe finish.

The Ariel crew will be, Al Branch, stroke, Henry Frank-
bow, Fred Smith, aft. wait, Henry Brown, fd. waist.

The Pioneer crew will consistof W. C. Espy, George E-;py,
W. Cummings and F. McDonald.

The following will represent the Dolphins: Charles Peter-
son, atroke; Hy Peterson, forward waist: Fred Conway, aft
waist; Chas. Long, bow.

A three-mile race with a turn, between two crews from the
Ariel and Pioneer Clabs, for a French dinner, was to have
come off last Sunday, but owing to a misunderstanding about
the date the contest wa«i postponed until the 20th inst. The
Ariel crew will be: H. G. Farrell, J. J. Larkey, L. F.
Nanan and Herman Pless.

Tbe California Dramatic and Sporting News promised to
subscribe a challenge cup valued at $1000 for the great pro-
fessional race, bnt as the Ariel Club, representing the donor,
refused to make that paper the stakeholder, the proprietors
have withdrawn their promise and will not give tbe cop.

The Ariel Club will give $100 to the club that beats the
coast reoord of 21 minutes 7 seconds for three miles.

A prominent member of the Dolphin Club thinks that 20
minutes will be beat.

Max Manheim, better known pb the "Polish oarsman,"
got himself into a pretty scrape on Long Bridge last Sunday
morning. Manheim is a member of one of the rowiug clubs,
and therefore imagineB that he ought to be "on the inside"
in racing matters. He accused Chailey Long, of the Pio-
neers, of crookedness, and followed up his assertions with
several foul epithets which he applied to Long. The latter is
a very quiet and unassuming young man and not at ell in-
clined to be quarrelsome, aud he asked some of his friends to
remove Manheim. Tbe latter refused to leave and kept on
looking for a fight with Long. At last Long's patience gave
out and he dealt Manheim a stinging blow on the face that
severely cut him and swelled his nose. The bruised and
bleeding oarsman fled from the place, having had enough of
Long's strength. He swore out a warrant for Long's arrest.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

THE WHEELMEN.

It is hinted that Frank Hart the colored pedestrian will
wiu tbe coming seven day race. He has been practicing
hard on his wheel for some weeks past and is reported to be
in splendid condition.

Several reoords will possibly be lowered by the profession-
als.

For the past week or so several of the locnl riders have been
making nightly moonlight trips to the clifl". The boys all en-
joy the fuu and wish that the moon would never wane.

Several ladies on theirtrcvcles, accompanied bv gentlemem
friends al*o took moonlight trips through the Park during
the week.

The regular monthly meeting and smokers of the San

Francisco Bicycle Club took place last Thurnday evening.

I There will be a olub run to-morrow and members are re-

The regular monthly exhibition of tbe Pacific Athletio
CLab will take place on the 14th. The club's gymnasium is
on Mission St., near 20th, in the building formerly known
as the Mission Rink. Several well known boxers will appear
at the exhibition and everything will be done to make it the
most interesting entertainment given by the club since its
birth.

The Fall games of the University of California, will be held
in the middle of November. The events will be open to mem-
bers only. At a meeting of tbe Association Students held last
Wednesday, it was voted to levy an assessment of 75 cents
per capita to defray expenses, including music.

There are now fjrty-four names on the membership roll of
the U. A. C. E-toh member is an active athlete. Great in-
terest is taken in the coming field day, as it is expected that
several college records will be lowered. The Olympic athleteB
are anxiously awaiting the results of these gameB that they
may find out whether the 'Varsity boys have gained any
headway or not since the last ohampionship meeting.

The California Club will probably abandon the idea of try-
ing to secure out-door grounds for its amateurs.

Tom Kansome '91 and Merrill '91, are organizing a Univer-
sity of California TenniB Club, having secured already forty*
five members.

A big effort will be male next Bummer to send a team of
athlete? from the U. A. C. to Mott Haven, to compete in the
Intercolleginte games. McGee. McNear, Moffett and E. Cooke
Hill, would probably carry off three-fourths of the prizes.

the track will be ready for Thanksgiving Day.

The Pacific Athletic Club will hold a grand benefit at its
new quarters 2411 Mission St.. on Monday, Oct. 14, 1SS9.

THEGUN,

The Selb ? Trophy.

By courtesy of Mr. Palmer, Superintendent of the Process
Department of the Daily Examiner, we are enabled to pre-
sent a out of the trophy offered by the Selby Smelting and
Lead Company of this city to the State Sportsman's Associa-
tion. Ink cannot do jastfce to the beautiful design or the
exquisite finish of the trophy. The base and column are of
choicest onyx. A coin silver rail surrounds the base. On
one side is placed a silver model of the boxea in which Stand-
ard cartridges are sent out. On the other side rests a shell
case, upon which lies a hammerless gun. The column is
supported by two pigeons, delicately chased in silver, with
extended wings. Above the pigeons on one Bide area pair
of hammerless guns, crossed. On the other side a Bhield of
silver, upon which to inscribe the name of the winning team.
Surmounting the column is an exquisitely carved pigeon in
pure silver, just in the act of taking flight. The pigeon rests
upon a lump of horn silver ore. Every portion of the trophy
is perfectly and moBt elegantly finished, and a more fitting,
more artistic or richer testimonial has never been competed
for in California. Its value intrinsically is great, but its art-
istic worth is vastly greater, and the winning team may well
be proud of the splendid evidence of skill.

EniTOR Breeder axd Sportsman:— At last our loog look-
ed for rain has made its appearance and with it come the
ducks, the geese, and the snipe: many flocks have be6n seen
passing up river for the past few days, and reports come in
of several good bags being made. Still the river is very low
aod ponds nearly dry, it will take several days hard rain to
fill them up. Quite a number of snipe have been brought
intotown by our local hunters in the past few days, having
been found in tbe dry prairie fields as the snipe grounds ara
very dry yet. Charles Reed, who lives a few miles below
town and is the owner of a fine pack of bear hounds, in com-
pany with several sports from town, returned yesterday after
a few days bear hunt; they report them scarce having only
killed two, an old bear and cub, also one deer: the rain drove
them in.

Proiessor Bristow, Berthold and O. C Bobbins of this
town returned the other day from a three weeks camping
trip in the Cascades, they report deer plentiful, having killed
eighteen, all they wanted, and plenty of tine trout.
Zal Job and Lon Dyer took the hills for groase last Satur-
day and bagged an even two dozen fine birds. There is a
move on foot among the sportBmen here to plant bob white
quails and prairie chickens in this valley. They also talk of a
petition to the Legislature to repeal the Mongolian pheasant
law, and then make war upon this tramp bird, but it will be
a long time before he can be removed. Still I believe they
can be driven from the valley with the shot gun.

I was much interested in reading over the Standard chal-
lenge match, shot off at Stockton, to note the experience of
Major S. I. Kellogg. I did not know that any other than my-
self bad ever met with his misfortune. In the year 1885,
while shooting at Dayton, Florida, with a new Manhattan
hammerless, I took my stand at the score aDd carefully pat
my cartridge in, shoved up my safety and called "pull".
"Well, Major Kellogg knows just how I felt to see the bird
going for dear life, and the crowd laughing at me and saying,
"Why did you not shoot," thinking of course I had forgotten
to push up my safety. Well, it was more of a wonder to me
than it was to them, why I did not shoot, but I tailed to
discover what the trouble was until I was caught again in
the same match. I soon found out that the Manhattan ham-
merleBs could be loaded without cocking. Although this
gun was a good hard shooter, I parted with it soon after.
I do not know of any other hammerless with this miserable
iailing, but suppose there may be others, but I Bbonld say
they are badly constructed pieces of machinery. I think
Major Kellogg was entitled to another shot, and I think it
was bo intended by the gentlemen that framed the American
Shooting Association rules. C. A Loud.

Cortallis, Or. October 3, 1889.

Early this summer Charley Harding, of Bakerstield, when
hunting on the southern slope of the Pinte Moantains, lost
his watch in the brush. Last week one of the Walser boys
found the watch in "Walker's Basin, lying on top of some
sands washed down the mountain sides by the clcud burst.
It was a curiouB find, for the watch most have been washed
a long distance, and only the crystal was broken. Upon be-
ing wound the watch ticked away as meirily as ever. That
timepiece waa never born to be drowned.

A call to horse, and the cavalcade with due military preci-
sion dropped the pleasures of midday dallying and fell into
marching line. Over the nearly level valley bed, theu across
the bridge over the South Fork, shortly afterward bridging the
North Fork, and then by a good road over a rolling country,
Bkirting the banks of the beautiful Kern River, an easy half
a Sabbath day's journey and Kernville, altitude 2650 feet,
marked the day's end of the pilgrimage. The two bridges
are last year's work. Formerly both streams had to be ford-
ed and the dreary stretch of Band between them — just above
their point of junction— plodded through as best might be.

Supervisors suffer boundless glory, it is true, but they are
men with unlimited cares, and in sparsely settled counties en-
joy only limited means, but verily, many of their deeds live
after them. A miserable road is ordered repaired, and the
meanest chuck hole of the whole lot, murmurs as it expires,

"I came to my death at the instance of Supervisor ."

A rook that has jostled the wheels of a generation finally
comes before the Board, and between their upper and nether
millstoneB, is ground into uopalatable powder. In times
gone by during flood time, these forks were crossed in boats,
and several lives have been lost. But now these tine bridges
and the good road-bed between them, Btand as enduring
monuments, and are no doubt placed above to the credit of
the Kern County Board of Supervisors. Here below, they
have been charged to the County Bridge fund.

At one time J. D. Schuyler, theu Assistant State Engineer,
ran an extended and thorough series of levels through thiB
part of the country, to the inteDt of ascertaining the proper
places for storage reservoirs. Just below the junction of
the North and South Forks of Kern Biver, he found what
he pronounced the best site of all. "With a dam 100 feet high
and 600 feet long, a great lagoon with two arms would be
formed. The larger one backing water up the South Fork
nearly to Weldon, a distance of perhap3 seven miles, the oth-
er arm upon the North Fork, reaching about six miles, and
covering the present town^ite of Kernville with from 12 to 14
feet of water. In places these arms would reach a width of
four miles, and an immense body of water could be stored.
Careful estimates of condemnation damages were also made.
The cost would be heavy, but the body of water thus secured
would be immense, and perhaps ample for all requirements.

In 1359, Lovely Rogers and Caldwell, while hunting

horses, found the "Cove" mines, consisting of the Lady Bell,
Jeff Davis, Beaoregard, Big Blue and several others, all after-
ward called the Sumner mines. Rogers & Co. built the first
quartz mill, four stamps with wooden stems, about one-half
mile above the present town of Kernville, and afterward sold
to J* W. Sumner & Co- They worked the mines for some
lime, building an eight stamp mill, about a mile and a quar-
ter above the present town, and a lit le further up the river
than the present mill, and then sold out to Captain Peck.
Thereafter Nieswander & Park built a 16 stamp mill. Then
E. R. Burke took hold of the mines and worked them with
little success, until the discovery of the "wtst vein," which
was very rich and productive. In 1S73. he organized a com-
pany which worked the mines very extensively. Immense
hoisting and pumping workB — at one time consuming nearly
50 cords of wood daily— were placed upon the mine, and
near by, a magnificent eighty stamp mill, with all modern
appliances, was erected and run by water power. About
©750,000 moie than the output was expended, when the
mines closed down. Manager Burke is reported once to
have eaid, "My parties have spent three quarters and I can't
see why they don't spend another quarter, bo as to make it
even change." With perhaps some costly faults, Manager
Burke has been the patroo saint of Kernville, and his large
heart often prompted him to splendid deeds of thoughtful-
ness and charity. At one time there was a strike among the
miners, and the safety of the hoisting works was threatened,
when Burke assisted by bis wife as a brave and noble help-
meet, both armed and both prepared to fight, guarded the
place by night and by day, so faithfully that the threatened
damage remained undone.

The costly hoisting works ceased moving, the eighty stamps
hung quiet, and the mines laid idle until 1879, when work
was recommenced and carried on very successfully for some
years, Btopping at last only by a combination of untowari ac-
cidents, among which were the financial straits of the oper-
ators in other lines of business, and the dastardly trick of
burning down the hoisting works. Tin fire from them
worked down into the mine and an immense cave is the re-
sult. Bat there are goldeo harvests in that group of mines,
awaiting the economical and practical operator. He will,
however, need almost a gold mine with wbioh to reopen this,
as the fire has created sad havoc, and the river must be har-
nessed to tbe task of hoisting ore and pumping water from
the depths of the earth.

The first building where the town now is was a saloon,
erected in 1862 by Luie Clary. Before it was fairly finished,
a party of prospectors chanced along, brought bis entire stock,
and from their drunken orgies the place received the name of
Whisky Flat. The next to build, also a saloon, was a man by
the name of Hamilton, who in addition started a store, close-
ly followed by Davidson. Until '67 and '68 there was very
Blow growth, but in 1872 when the "west vein" was struck,
the town grew rapidly and. contained a population of perhaps
600. In 1864 the oitizens, properly not liking the name of
"Whisky Flat, met in mass meeting when Captain Peck
christened tbe town with the name of Kernville.

There are lives and lives; as of men, so of villages. There
are overgrown youth, roystering manhood and prematare de-
cay; usually the quick drawn life of a mining town. There
is dull infancy, Btnpid, prime and flabby, but Methnsalem-
istic old age; the cabbage state of many towns far east of tbe
frontier, where an exciting event would surely cause syncope.
Then comes aluBty inlancv, a youthfal manhood disgraced
and almost choked by wild oats, then, and usually by matri-
monial influences, a transformation in the nature of refor*
motion and a hale, raspectahle age. So Kernville, wild, reck-
lesB and almost outcast as Whisky Flat, took unto itself as a
bride the North and Booth Fork vallies richly dowered with
agricultural promise, and now, amid its fruits and vines, its
grains and alfalfa enjoys a placid maturity, endowed with
comfortable abundance.

CALIFORNIA STATE SPORTSMAN'S ASSO-
CIATION.

Demonstrating the abundance uf quail about Bakersfieldi
Kern County, Messrs. C. E. Lechner and Morgan Hans drove
seven miles from the city on tbe afternoon of October 1, and
returned in time for dinner with five dozen quails and five
ducks,

Eighth Annual Tournament.

Sacramento Sends the ChampionB.

The Talent surprised.

The eighth tournament of the State Sportsman's Associa-
tion began at San Jose on Wednesday last. While the Associ-
ation is not primarily a trap-shooting organization, so many
of the members like to meet in friendly competition at the
traps when the body convenes each year, that the shooting
programme has year by year been elaborated, until, as in the
case this year, the list of regular and special prizes is very
considerable, and the value represented reaches hundreds of
dollars. Most of the shooters reached San Jose by the early
afternoon trains on Tuesday, only a half dozen coming in
during the evening. So many had indicated their intention
to be present that no one hotel could accommodate them all
and the result was that every hostelry in beautiful San Jose
sheltered its contingent of mighty Nimrods. The local com"
mittee of arrangements, Messrs. F. E, Coykendall, George C.
Anderson and Al. Ingalsby, had labored seduously to perfect
all arrangements for the meeting, and it is merely according
them their due to write that at no former meeting have all
details been more faithfully cared for. The shooting ground
used was the minor portion of the Agricultural Park, which
was a stubble field. The recent rains had laid all dost, fresh-
ened the air and made the weather springlike, bo that condi-
tions were favoiable to first rate work. There was a measure
of disappointment felt that several of the gun clubs of the
State failed to send teams, but as five teams were on hand the
first day was well filled. The hour set for beginning was 9
o'clock on Wednesday, and it is to the credit of Mr. Coyken-
dall that actual shooting began but a short time after the
hour mentioned. A comfortable shooting house had been
erected, together with scorer's stand, rails to keep the crowd
back, etc. By 9 o'clock of the first day some sixty or seventy
Bhooters and perhaps two hundred spectators had gathered at
the race track for the first event.
"Wednesday, October 9th. — The first match was:
Selby Trophy Team Match, open to teams of five bona fide
members of any regularly organized gun club on the Pacific

Five clubs sent teams, the California Wing Shooting Club
of San Francisco, the Blue Kock Club of San Francisco, the
Pacific Gun Club of Sacramento, the Colton Gun Club of
Colton, and the Garden City Gun Club of San Jose. The
teams were carefully selected, and were thoroughly represen-
tative. Some individuals failed to shoot np to their averages,
but the work as a whole was of a very high order. The birds
were good, freshly caught farm pigeons not particularly quick
from tbe traps, but able to carry a lot of lead out of bounds.
But two clean scores were made, by Mr. J. M. Morrison, of
the Paoific Gno Club, and Mr. Jos. Delmas, of the Garden
City Club. Both gentlemen had average birdn, and scored
high by sheer good shooting. Four meu got nioeteeu each,
C. E. Mack and Wm. King, of the Pacifies. Dr. O. F. Btittoo
and Martinez Chick, of the Colton club. The eighteens were
five in number, Messrs. Haas and Robinson, of the California
Wing Shooting Club, and Messrs. F. B. Norton, S. I. Kellogg
and H. C. Golcher, of the Blue Rock Club.

Crittenden Robinson and Ed Fay had their usual bit of
hard luck, the first losing one and the latter three birds dead
just out of bounds. The winning team shot well together,
being steady, aud taking all sorts of birds easily. The Colton
Club, which won second suffered somewbat by the tumble of
one of its best shots, Mr. '"Wiley," who scored but fourteen,
but the splendid work of Dr Bntton and Mr. Chick held the
team up. Gus Knight shot more than half the match with-
out a fore-end for his gun, having mislaid it. Mr. Unger, of
tbe team, was out-locked, losing two bard-hit birds.

The American Association rales governed tbe looting,
and were unfavorably commented upon by many of '■■
ticipants. The shooting was done in squads,

After the trophy match was finished, the scores announced
and the prize money distributed, a protest was entered
against tbe score of Mr. O. F. Boardman as kept by the offi-
cial scorer, on the ground that a miss should have beeD scored
to that gentleman in his fourteenth round instead of a kill,
thus making the Blue Eock Club and the California Wing
Shooting Club tie.

The official scorer was proved to have made one or two other
errors, and as four scores of the shooting kept by disinterested
persons agreed in m ikiog Mr. Buardman's score 13 instead of
14, the Referee, after long deliberation, decided that the offi-
cial score Bbould be corrected and the clubs made a tie. At
this writing, Wednesday evening, the matter has yet to be
determined, but will be shot off on Thursday morning.

After the main match a pool at Bine Kock TargetB was shot
off as follows:

At 10 single Bine Rocks; $2.51 entrance; four monies. Mr. Ohick
won first; those having 8 divided tbe rest.

THURSDAY.

The second day of the meeting was perfect as to climatic
conditions, being cool and with just breeze enough to clear
away the smoke, the wiad flowing directly from the traps to
the smoke and thereby favoring the shooters. All of the parti-
cipants were on the grounds at nine o'olock a. m. promptly,
but lit tie delay was occasioned by an effort to settle the ques-
tion left pending at ihe close of the team match on Wednes-
day. The referee announced that he had decided the official
score to have been enonerously kept in respect to a bird scored
as killed by Mr. C. F. Boardman which should have been
scored a miss.

He ordered Mr, Crittenden Robinson to finish his incom-
plete score of the evening bafore which the latter did. Kill-
ing his bird, and making the California Wing Shooting Club
team, an 1 the Blue Rock team, tie. A reasona- le time was
allowed the ciptains of the teams to determine whether they
wonld shoot the tie otf', divide the mooey or take some other
course. The California Club team was willing either to
Bhoot or divide, but the Blue Rock team refused to do any-
thing. Finally the Referee called the teams to the score to
shoot off The first man called was Dr. Knowles, a member
of the California Club team who killed his bird. Then Mr.
Morton of the Blae Rock team was called, but he refused to
go to the Boore, and tha referee decided thai the California
Wing Shooting Club team was entitled to third place and
money. A formal demand was made upon Mr. Morton, Cap-
tain of the Blae Rock teem for the $100 emneouely paid to
him. Mr. Morton expressed hiB willingness to turn over the
portion personally received by him, but could not recover
the portions held by others of the teams.

The regular matches of the day were then proceeded with,
and the first race was perhaps the most brilliant match ever
shot in the State, all conditions being suitable and the man
being id good form. Mr. C. J. Haas of Stockton scored ten
clean kills on good birds 'without using his second barrel.
Mr. Martinezchich alBO bad a clean score, tastily made. Mr.
"Wiley" of Colton, who had hard lack on Wednesday, killed
all of his birds cleanly. Charles Merrill of Stockton, the
champion three years ago, piled up ten kills also, as did
Frank Rushtaller of Sacramento. Mr. Leffler, of Stockton
was another ten man, as was Mr. E. Uuger of Loa Angeles.
Henry A. BasBford took his share of the pot with a clean
score, and Mr. Evans, who came from Portland to attend the
tournament, did likewise. Amoog those who got none of the
coin were a multilu ie of cracks, among them many who usu-
ally are "in it" at ihe end of almost every hard race. Tbe
number of spectators wbb large and tbe excitement noticeable
as the match neared ita conclusion. Many incidents of in-
terest might be noted if time permitted, but must be de-
ferred until next week. The business meeting of the Ass -
elation was held on Friday evening, too late to be rt-porled in
this issue. Tu-nigbt the tournament closes and members are
to Vie banqueted by tbe San Jose members, Messrs. Coyken-
d 'II, Delmar, Anderson, Ingalsby, Farrel and others.

The second race of the day was a enrio, at ten Bine Bocks,
thirty yards rise, nse of both barrels. Most of the targets
were broken at 50 yards and over, and the match was more
a test of the guns than the men. The entrance was $2.00
and the money was divided by those who scored seven each.

After the Bine Bock Race was done, the regularly listed
match at 6 live birds Hnrlingham style was began, but could
not be b'nisned before it grew too dark to shoot, and the score
must appear next week.

Mr. J. S. Fanning, one of San Francisco's craok shots, re-
turned last week from a seven-months' seal-shooting trip in
Behring's Sea. The exposure to all sorts of weather and the
constant necessity for alertness in order to circumvent the
wary game, have in no degree lessened the athletic propor-
tions of Mr. Fanning. Mr. Ed. Funeke was one of the
shooters on the Lily L., and both gentlemen speak in the
highest terms of the consideration shown them by Captain
E. P. Miner, commander of tbe sealer. The fact that al-
most all of Mr. Farming's seal shooting was done with the
shotgun will go far to insure to that sturdy trap shot a good-
ly share of the prizes at San Jose.

BOD.

Bay fishing was poor on last Sunday.

P. C. Johnson and wife caught 35 lbs. of rock cod in the
vicinity of Goat I-laod.

The steamer Whitelaw will leave for the Cordell Banks at
midnight with a fishing party on board nnder the direction
of Henry M. Gastillar.

Some good messes of smelt were cangbt at the old Oakland
wharf on Sunday.

To-morrow the tides will be favorable and the moon will
be in its last quarter, so that good fishing may be looked for.

RENO.

[By our Special Commissioner.]

From Stockton to Reno is not much of a ride, especially
when the company is good, for the early part of the evening
is devoted to "fighting the battles over again," and making
predictions as to the probable results of the forthcoming
week. An elegantly fitted tip sleeping car was attached to the
train, and when we had all talked ourselves out, retired to
the tastefully arranged conches, where one can sleep just as
comfortably as though in the best hotel in the land. At balf
past seven we arrived at Keno, and went at ouce to the De-
pot Hotel and were cordially received by Messrs. Parry ana
Fitzgerald, who, during the week, made our party feel very
much at home. They keep an excellent hostlery, set a good
table, and the attendance is all that could be desired.

The opening day of the fair was marked by charming
weather, the change from the hot air currents of the San
Joaquin to the pleasant breezes of Nevada being very wel-
come, and was heartily appreciated by the California contin-
gent. Everything was in apple pie order for racing, the Di-
rectors having worked earnestly for a successful meeting.
Too much praise cannot be given Messrs. Winters, Powring
and Stoddard for their indefatigable efforts in this direction,
as the last Legislature refused to assist them iu any way and
the society have had to shoulder the entire financial respon-
sibility, but thanks to good weather and extensive patronage,
the fair has been a complete success iu every particular.

The opening event was aseven-eights dash for the runners,
and had as starters Neiva, Johnny Gray, Condor and Billy

D. The "talent" thought they had a cinch with Nerva and
plunged on the Elm wood Stable representative, she selling
for $20 against $8 for the field. Geo. Howson rode his old
gray gelding in capital style and landed him a winner.
Time, 1:31 J.

The free for all trotting race had only three contestants,
the veterans being Victor, Thapsinand Babe. Wilbur Smith
had an easy thing of it, carrying off first money in three
straight heats, the second falling to Babe, who trotted splen-
didly. "Hayseed" did not seem at himself, the Plumas
horse having contracted the sniffles while down in the lower
country.

There was a great deal of money went into the pool-box on
the concluding race of the day, which was a quarter mile
dash between Mollie, who hails from Montana, and Hondo,
a crack short horse from Austin. The excitement was intense
as the pair travelled toward the starting post, and a consider-
able sum of money was bet privately between those most
interested. Mollie got a trifle the best of the send off, but
Rondo managed to b=at her out at the wire, his nose showing
first in front.

SECOND DAY.

There was a much larger attendance on the second day of
the meeting, the stock parade drawing out many visitors.
The racing sport was started with a seven-eighths dash,
there beiDg only two starters, Trahern's G. W. and Thomp-
son's Lulu S. The Stockton horse had an easy race, the mare
being no match for him.

The next contest was very spirited, and was heavily played
in the boxes, all of the entries having strong support. It
was a five-eighths dash, and the starters were Nabeau,
Johnny Gray, Painkiller, E. D. and Applarne. Applause won
after a good fight. Time, 1:03$.

The trotting race of the day was for the three-minute class,
and it was long drawn out, six heats being DeceBsary to decide
it. In the betting there was a good deal of fluctuation, owing
to the heats being split, but "Boster" McConnell managed to
land SnowBlide a winner, he winning the third, fifth and
sixth heats.

THIRD DAY.

The third day of the fair was even more satisfactory than
the pTeceeding ones. The ladies' riding tournament was par-
ticipated in by Miss Anna Kemler of Sacramento, Miss Allen
off Churchill, Mra. Elliott of Glendale, Ni^R Ntllie U inters of
"Washoe Valley, and Miss Mcintosh of Keno. The various
movements were eagerly watched, and the vast audience en-
joyed the riding. The ring-catching feature was something
new. The wind-up was a mile dash around the track, Miss
Nellie Winters coming under the wire first, the whole thing
oreating much amusement.

The district paciDg race did not afl'ord much sport, as the
speed displayed was of the slow order, and even at that,
Frenohy was distanced in the first heat.

The fun of the day concluded with a mixed race for trotter •
and pacers, the entries being Victor, Little Hope and Edwin
C, the two latter belonging to the Bide wheel fraternity, while
"Hayseed" was the only one to uphold the honors o! the
trotters. Mr. Johnson's Edwin C. won the race in miserably
slow time, the track not being as fast as it was at Sacramento,
when he made his record of 2:15. Victor won the third heat
in 2:28, and it seemed an effort for him even to do that.

A seven-eighths dash for the bangtail division was the first
event of the day, and caused no little speculation among the
bettors, but the "Winters' nomination won the first money
with all ease, the time being very fast for the distance, 1:28.

A mile and a sixteenth, heat race, was next on the pro-
gramme, there being only two contestants, Dave Douglas and
Parole; the former, well ridden by young Dan DennisoD,
won in straight heats, the time being 1:56 and 1:59.

Now came a five-eighths dash, and although there were
only two stables represented yet four horses faced the starter,
the two from the Winters' stable being Chan Haskell and
Florence A, while Herzog and E. D. carried the colors of the
Dennison stable. The jookeys were Courtney, "Winohell and
the two DenniBon boys, but Winchell, on Florence A, got
away with the ducats, the stable companion, Chan Haskell,
taking second place. Time 1:03.

A three-eighths and repeat race came next and as entries
there were Hondo, Johnny Allen, Red Book and theold timer,
JohnDy Gray. Rondo, as in his former race, won easily, he
taking first money in straight heats in the good time of :35£
and :35.

We now come to a five-eighths for maidens, $100 being ad-
ded by the society, and there were four entries, Installation.
Lulu S, Condor and Sallie C. The winner turned up in In-
stallation, who negotiated the distance in 1.04. She is a
brown filly by Inauguration, dam Brown Maria, and is owned
by tbe Elmwood Stables.

A dash of three-quarters of a mile finished up the day's
Bport and as Applause and G. W. had both won a race it was
only fitting that the other entry Johnny Gray should win
this one. The following is the

THE BO YOE TABLETS are picked in a nicely decorated metal box with hinged lid -one hundred
tablets in each box; directions for ubo plainly engraved upon the box; therefore, the convenience of the
package— no liability to leakage and breakage -economy and rea-ly solubility, together with the absolute
certainty of their action, will at once commend the use of BOYOE'S TABLETS to the intelligent horsem< n
of the country. TABLETS sufficlPnt to make one hundred pints of leg and body wash are conveniently
carried in an inside coat pocket or in the hip-pocket of the trousers.

Gentlemen; I look upon horseB the same as human beings. They say that a horse has no soul. I
dont't believe that Is possible. It does not seem to me that so true, brave and noble an animal as a horse,
after having spent a life of toil and drudgery, will die, and that is the end. I feel like thanking everyone
who does a kind act for the horse family, and for that reison, if for no other, I take the opportunity of
thanking you for having invented a medicine that brings as much comfort to them i* I im sure yonr
CELEBRATED TABLETS do. Mr. Wm. McClosson, the foreman of my stable, tells me that he has never
tried auytbing in his long experience that gives such relief to a sore horse as the wash prepared from
your medicine.

Hoping for the sate of the horsB family that every horse owner in the land will try it, I remain,

Yours truly, John Splan.

Price per Box of One Hundred Tablets, $^, sent postpaid to any part of the United States;

Kalamazoo. Mich., Sept. 15, 1SSS.
Gentlemen;— We have used OSSIDINE for the past two years,
nnd consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs. Ringbone, and
Spavins; there is nothing equals it : and for us it effected a permanent
cure where firing failed, although performed by one of the most suc-
cessful veterinarians on the continent. We have recommended it to
others with like success, and believe it has more merit than any blister
ever used. Very respectfully yours,

S. A. BROWNE &. CO., Prop's.

This scientific preparation is an absolute cure
for all bony or callous lumps on horses, and is a
more powerful absorbent than " firing," with-
out creating the slightest blemish.

Acknowledged by leading horsemen of the
world to ^1 mm a «* preparation that will
be the KJ Vi La T remove a Eone Spavin
after it has become ossified.

We have authority also to refer to
Mr. JEROME I. CASE, Mr. FRED. GEBHARD,
Mr. JOHN PORTER (Trainer to H.R.H. the Prince

of Wales),
And hundreds of others from whom we have very flattering
testimonials.

MARGARET S. WINS.

Three Close and Interesting- Heats Trotted at
the Cleveland Drivine Park.

THE 1XTCRITT STAKE RACE.

In the nest column will be seen a picture of the handsome
cup won by Mr. M. Salisbury, of the Pleasanton Stock Farm
Co., with his great filly Margaret S. Oar correspondent has
also sent us a detailed description of the race which is given
below:

The Spirit of the Times' Futurity Stake for three-year-olds
was trotted at the Cleveland Driving Park yesterday and
proved to be a very interesting contest, although it took but
three heats to decide it. The attendance was fair for so cold
and raw a day, and many prominent horsemen from all over
the country were present. Of thenine youngsters entered but
ionr faced the starter — Margaret S., 2:19£; Fortuna, 2:25*;
Palo Alto Belle, 2:26*; and San Malo, 2:29£. "While it wa8
known that the California filly, Margaret S., was fast enough
to win if at herself, many thought her recent trip across the
continent and the change of climate would have a tendency
to tie her up, and placed, their money accordingly. But the
result showed that she still had her speed with her, as sbe
won in straight heats, although Palo Alto Belle and Fortuna
gave her a good race. The track was a little hard, and the
temperature and strong wind blowing up the homestretch
were decidedly against extreme speed, so that, everything
considered, the performance was first-class, and the race what
it was predicted to be, one of the best tb re e-y ear-old events of
the season. The time between heats was taken np with
trials against time, but few of which were successful.

In the pools Margaret S. was the choice at $10 to S7 for the
field. Fortuna drew the pole, with Margaret S. second, San
Malo third and Palo Alto Belle on the outside. After scoring
a few times they were sent away with Palo Alto Belle a length
behind. Margret S. went to the front and took the pole from
Fortnna at the turn, with the Belle close behind, and at the
quarter pole they were on even terms. The race up the back
stretch was a pretty one between the leaders, Palo Alto Belle
leading by half a length at the half. In going the third quar-
ter Fortuna went up on the others, and coming into the
stretch the three were neck and neck, with San Malo five
lengths behind. At the seven-eighths they were still even, when
George Starr, who was up behind Margaret S,, called on the
filly and she gamely responded, gradually drawing away from
the others, and winning by an open length, Palo Alto Belle a
neck ahead of Fortuna, and San Malo fourth. Time, 2:23i.

After the first heat Margaret S. sold at 810 to S4 for the
field. In the second heat Margaret S. again took the lead
closely followed by Palo Alto Belle and Fortuna, while San
Malo cut across the track to the pole behind the others-
Going round the turn Palo Alto Belle forged ahead, and led
Margaret S. and Fortuna by a length at the quarter, with San
Malo, owing to a break, ten lengths behind. They went np
the backstretch a-fiying in this order, and the positions were
unchanged until coming down the stretcb, when Starr again
called on the young daughter of Director, and as before she
immediately put on more steam, overhauled tbe Belle, then
drew away from her, and won by two lengths in 2:22$, the
fastest mile of the day. Palo Alto Belle was second, Fortuna
third, and San Malo fourth.

The Pleasanton Stock Farm Co.

It was now a foregone conclusion than the California filly
would win, and the field had no backers. The scoring for the
third heat was loDg and tedious, the driver of Fortuna trying
to get off ahead, which Mr. Edwards would not allow, while
Palo Alto Belle was giving a good imitation of Guy, in spite
of Stinson's efforts to get her away. They were finally given
the word with the Belle a length behind, and Fortuna having
the best of it. The latter made a spurt and took the pole
from Margaret S. at the turn and led to the three-quarter
pole, when Margaret S. repeated her previous performances,
and beat her to the wire in 2:24. Palo Alto Belle was third
and San Malo fourth.

Mr. Salisbury, the owner of Margaret S., received $3,73S
and the Spirit cup, valued at SI, 000, for the filly's victory.
Miller & Sibley's amount was SI, 068, and Mr. Simmons S534.

B. C. StinBon drove the bay stallion Governor Stanford, by
Electioneer, to beat 2:30, and brought him under the wire in

2:23$.

The judges on Tuesday were "William Edwards, George V?m
Short, and M. L. Hanna; timers, H. K. Devereaox, Samuel
MoMillen, and C. K. Edwards.

Margaret S., the winner of tbe stake and cup, is a California
bred filly, foaled August 4, 1886. She is a handsome bay,
sired by Director, 2:17, out of May Day, 2:30 (as a five-year-
old). May Day was by Ballard's Cassius M. Clay -Jr., out of
a mare by Hiram Drew.

Margaret S. is owned by the Pleasanton Stock Farm Com-
pany. Her turf career was begun in 1888, when she trotted
in three races as a two-year-old. la the first race Bhe was
beaten by the Palo Alto* filly Sunol in 2:28* and 2:26J. She
won the second in 2:31J and 2:31, and lost the third after
taking tbe first heat in 2:34i.

Eirly in the present season Bhe began to show great speed,
and was entered in the California circuit in three-year-old
stakes, aud in some 2:27 and 2:30 class races. She started
first at Santa Eosa in the 2:30 class, where she got third
money. Two days later she started in the three-year-old
stake against Palo Alto's Colma. and won in straight heats in
2:25£, 2:25j and 2-25$. She next appeared at Petaluma,
where she met Lillian Wilkes and Snnol, and was defeated,
but in fast time. Two days after she was in the 2:30 class
against a field of five-aged horses, and took second money.

Dnring the nest week- she came to Oakland and a^ain
met Lillian "Wilkes and Sunol and got second money over Lil-
lian Wilkes in 2:21, 2:241 and 2:20

The filly then went to Sacramento and on the 14ih of
September trotted the greatestrace evermade by a three-year-
old, going against a field of five aged horses in the 2:30 class,
taking the first heat in 2:19 ; and tbe third in 2:19$. In tbe
fourth heat she was a nose in front of Lord Byron in 2:19;.
but the judges gave her second place, and on account of
darkness postponed the race -until the following Moudav,
when sbe was fourth in the decisive heat in 2:13. The fol-
lowing day she started against Sunol and finished close up
in 2:20*. 2:21$ and 2:18.

Margaret S- has been called the gamest filly tbat ever ap-
peared upon the turf. There is no qait in her. In all her
races she has made but two breaks, those being canBed by acci-
dents. Sbe has a square, even action, the action which does
not tire. She wears seven-ounce shoes, with a two-ounce top-
weight forward and a rnnningplate of one-onnce and a half
behind. Sbe wears quarter and arm boots forward and ski 1-
pers behind.

There are a great many persons surprised that Mr. Mc-
Dowell was not taken back East to drive Margaret S. in tbifl
race, as he has had full charge of her from the time she first
developed into a trotter. It was Mr. Salisbury's intention to
take the trainer and driver back, but Mr. S bad a

number of horses entered on the circuit b< Ir. Mc-

Dowell knowing that anyone can drive M >
on Mr. Salisbury to let him remain and I '.tli-

fornia contingent, while Geo. Starr was ei
filly in this great race.

pointed aB the favorites won three out of the four races.
Messrs. H. P. Perkins, W. H. Hummond and R. O. Newman
were again in the judges stand and gave great satisfaction to
the public by their fair and impartial decisions. The track
having been worked especially for the runners since yesterday
was in excellent condition. The first race of the day wras a
quarter dash for yearlings, which brought out five starters.
Tulare Chief, owned by W. B. Fudge of Visalia, was at
once installed favorite, selling for S10 against $9 for the
field. Tulare Chief is a mite of a colt, being a very late foal,
but he showed his superiority of speed over his larger sized

The $10 0O0 Stallion Race-

Ever since the great Balch Btallion race at Bnston. many
strange Btories have been going the rounds, the following
from the Boston Democrat being the latest:

"John Splan was offered S500 by a prominent Boston
horseman not to drive Nelson. This proved that Doble waB
looking for the race at that time, and that lie thought he
could beat Nelson with his owner up.

"Splan did not drive Nelson.

"C. H. Nelson, who weighed over 170 pounds, did.

"Just before Driver Bobbins got ready to go on the track,
a scene was enacted which settled the fate of the stallion
race, if the judges could be kept in the dark.

"The dramatis personae were Bobbins, a horseman vitally
interested in the anccess of Nelson (though rot his owner);
a go between who is connected with one of Boston's leading
hotels, a stock farm owner, and a man behind the scenes who
had newspaper work to look after.

"A check was written on one of two blanks furnished bv
the stock farm man, the blank Being that of a country bank
not fifty miles from Boston. The amount was $5000, and
the check was signed by the vitally interested party.

"The stock farm man came to the Part to back Alcryon.
He backed Nelson and, strange to say, he got "the tip" from
Alcrvon's driver.

"Now for a point which puzzled many horsemen. Why
did Alcryon make so many bad breaks when he is known to
be such a handy ac'or?

"The answer is simple. He lost his toe-weights.

"But, he seemed to be losing a good many toe weights,

"Thereby hangs a tale.

"A prominent man in Boston has the Bonner idea of horse
shoeing, and is so imbued with the idea that he has a black-
smith of his own who mikes a study, under the direction of
his employer, of the feet of prominent trotters. What more
natural than that he should visit Alcryon, who, as a speedy
trotter, naturally attracted attention.

"On going to see him, the blacksmith found him with
shoes of a certain pattern, having peculiarities which attract-
ed him. These tacts the blacksmith mentioned to his em-
ployer, and on returning the Recond time he found he had a
new pet of shoes ready, and there was a difference, which, to
the initiated, meant a great deal. There were two points of
difference. One related to the hind shoes. On one set there
was a fiont tip or calk which was uBed to regulate the action
of the horse on the track. The second related to— those toe-
weights.

"On the first pair the toe-weights were fashioned in Buch a
manner that their removal by any means other than mechan-
ical appliances was an impossibility. The second set were
different, and so different that our friend was seized with an
inquiring turn of mind. He found out where the shoes were
made and made a visit to the blacksmith, who told him that
he had received orders not to tell of the new set of shoes.

"This was a staggerer.

"What mystery should there be^ about Alcryon's shoeing0
fc"None — if everything was fair and above board.

"So deeply waB the gentleman in question impressed with
the resQlt of his investigation that he determined on laying
the case'before the judges on the day of the race. On ma-
turer thought he considered that being in the breeding busi-
ness and without interests in the result, outside the desire to
Bee a square race, he let the matter drop but will tell his
story at the proper tim9, if called on.

"There were men who had their doubts and who expressed
them. One was the lessee of the Park. He told the judge
at the start to look out for the race. The other was judge
at the distance, J. G, Davis, who said what he thought to the
judges. Another man was David Bonner, who expressed the
opinion that Alcryon had not tried to win and who was ready
to call the third heat off and trot it over again.

"What the result would have been had Alcryon gone for
the race or for any part of it the writer is not prepared to say,
but the fact remains that Alcryon's driver was given a check
for $5000, not to try and win, and that Bobbins thought
bis horse was the superior is proven by the tampering with
the horse's feet."

The Democrat's story would be a little stronger testimony
if it gave any names.

Nutwood, 2:18 3-4.

Belmont, Almont and Wood's Hambletonian were beyond
comparison the greatest sons of Alexander's Abdallah, who
was, considering his short years of service, the most prepo-
tent son of the great progenitor. Belmont has not proven so
prolific of speed as Almont and Wood's Hambletonian here-
tofore, but he has this season taken a "fresh start," as it
were, and has added to his liBt some ten or eleven new 2:30
performers. Twenty of his sons have sired trotters in the
liBt, and chief among them is the great Nutwood, eight of
whose get have this year entered the 2:30 list, showing rec-
ords of 2:20 to 2:30 as follows:

Frank, ch g, Oakland, Cal 2:20

Antelope, b h, Spokane Falls, W. T 2:23J

Nina D, b m, Napa, Cal 2:26*

Kedwood, b h, Chico, Cal 2:27

Nutgal),bg, Lexington, Ky 2:29

Wilkeswood, b h. Chicago. Ill 2:29J

Atwood, b o, Cleveland, Ohio 2:29j

Lizzie Mac, b m, Shelbyville, Ky 2:30

Nutwood previously had twenty-one trotters and three
pacers in the list, and the new additions increase his roll of
honor to twenty-eight trotters and four pacers, a total of
thirty-two— a larger list, if I am not mistaken, than any
horse ever had at nineteen' years of age. Of this nnmber
seven are in the 2:20 list, in which he leads all stallions,
living or dead, except Electioneer and George Wilkes. That
Nutwood is breeding on, is this year becoming quite evident.
His son Hawthorne is the sire of Tempest 2:19, Moses 8,
(two years old) 2:291. and J. C. Shelly (two years old), 2:29}.
Antelve 2:23* is the- sire of the c lestnut colt Ned Lock,
record 228i,

.t;t* Hulvenna 2:27£ is the sire of Lorena, two years
old 2:30. ,, „„

| Judge SaMfbury. sire of Glenville, two years old, 2:30.
' Dawn 2:18f is the of Annabel, j'parling record 3:05$, and
three other fast yearlings and two-year-olds that will be
beard from this fall.

Nutwood's daughter, Maple, produced Haltie D. three-
year-old record 2:26|.

This is, indeed, a wonderful showing for a horse that spent
so rnary vears of his on the turf.

Mr. F. D. Stout, bis owner.in the course of a private letter,
writes &<* follows:

f "Nutwood still retains his vigor and strength, and does
-of ipD-T tn ""* a •'av nPer tb«n be did ten year* ago, and
he can trot to-diy faster then he ever, could, and we have
driven h m the Hiirrght eighth mile on our track this year in
15*. His Bire, Belmont (sire of thirty-one in the 2:30 list),

andhis dam, Miss Bussell (dam of four in 2:30 list), are both
hale and hearty, and both breed regularly.

"Our stock is doing very nicely, and we have had a very
satisfactory season, both in sale and performance of our
stock. We only have two Nutwoods left that are a year old,
but we have a good lot of weanlings, by far the best we have
ever had, and we are now busy getting them ready for win-
ter.

"Nutwood has had a full season, and we have been obliged
to refnBe mares, and his book for 1890 is now over half full.
Next year may be his last season to the public, as he will
have all the mares by that lime that any one horse should
serve, and du the horse, the mares and the produce justice."

From this it will be seen that Nutwood'B qualities are high-
ly esteemed by the breeding public, and that he is fulfilling
to the fullest extent the high hopes that the founder of Glen-
view cherished, and which he had a right to expeot from a
developed son of a great producing sire and dam .

Penalty for Stealing Names.

It may as well be understood that we will not tolerate any
foolishness about changing names of horses, as registered,
and then taking the number attached to the original name
and giving it to the new name. The course we pursue in
such cases is fully illustrated in the following case. Mr.
Samuel H. McCartney, of Pittsburg, Pa., sends an application
with two dollars for the registration of a filly called Zita
Along with the amplication he Bends a circular of her sire
cilled "Boiler Wilkes 4749." The filly is represented to be
out of a mare by Balsora.

Mr. Samdel H. McCartney, PittBbnrg. —

Dear Sir: I herewith return you your application and the
fee of two dollars for the reaistration of Zita. Ton say the
filly is by Butler Wilkes 4749. There is no horse of that
name registered. If this is the horse Butler 4749, his owner
has stolen a forbidden appendage, and is now advertising him
under a false name. When a horse becomes registered and
numbered, the number becomes a part of (he name. Under
the rules of tbi* office we cannot register anything by a horse
called Bntler Wilkes, for we have no such horse registered.
A man may attempt to "beat" the rule with the regard to
names, and he m<iy go along swimmingly for two or three
years, but as soon as the fiiBt of the progeny of his horse
comes for registration the rule will "beat" him. The Breed-
ers' Association has undertaken to prevent the oonfusion
growing out of the duplication of names under certain con-
ditions, and laid down a specific rule on the subject, and it
is our plain duty to maintain that rale in its integrity.
Yours truly,

J. H. Wallace.

The Trotter a Profitable Horse for the Parmer
to Breed.

I hope no one will think from the above beading that I
am going to advocate the idea of a farmer buying a sulky
and an outfit of toe weights, trottiDg boots, etc., and learn
the business of training and developing the trotter, or even
breeding the trotter with the one idea of speed alone in view,
and with no regard for Bize, substance, or other qualifications
that go to make up a generally useful animal. All of these
contrivances for developing speed are very useful in their
place, but their place is not with the farmer. So, too, breed-
ing to some undersized BtalHon, whose whole stock in trade
is that he represents in his breeding some aing'e noted trot-
ter or producer of trotters may ( ?) have its p]ace, but that is
certainly not with the farmer. Each year brings new proof
that the trotter is fast being developed into a more generally
useful animal, and better adapted to a greater number of
purposes than any other breed of horses that has ever existed
and as such is fast gaining in popularity and advancing in
price. The trotter originated with the necessities of the
people requiring a horse that could travel and pull some kind
of a vehicle for a long distance at a rapid gait, and the trot-
ting gait being better adapted to this purpose than any other
way of going, and at the same time furnishing a means of
sport both in trotting races and road driving, have together
combined to develop the trotter to the present standard.
Never in the history of breeding any kind of animals have
actual tests of merit bo completely controlled every step that
has been taken. Every trotting bred horse that is standard
has attained that rank either by actual performance or by
being related through both sire and dam to those that have
performed. The word breeding, when applied to the stand-
ard bred trotter, has more practical meaning than when ap-
plied to any other breed of animals.

Hike the name trotter. It expresses the way of going as
distinguished from the thoroughbred or running horse, and
what I have written so far is to set people thinking, to see if
their prejudices have not got the better of the facts.

It cost no more in feed and care to raise a trotting bred colt
to three years, worth from S150 to §500, than it does to raise
a steer worth from $50 to $60 to the same age. But it must
be remembered that not every trotting bred oolt will sell for
more than a steer. To get more than the price of a common
work horse a breeder must in some way become acquainted
with what quantise the public demand in a trotting bred colt,
to make it saleable without the trouble and expense of de-
veloping, and then to know what lines of breeding produce
these qualitif s with the greatest uniformity.

I believe a great many farmers would find it not only a
pleasant recreation, but a profitable part of their business to
devote a little of their spare time to informing themBolves on
this subject, f»ud each year to raise one or more trntiing bred
colts, where there ip a trotting bred stallion accessible. The
fact of a horse being standard and registered is not of itself
proof sufficient that he possesses the qualities demanded by
the farmer; but it is proof that the breeding is as represent-
ed, and if that breeding is in good lines, adds to the value of
his produce, and is a standing advertisement, circulating
all over the world, and assists very much in making sales.

Every owner of such a horse should be able to furnish
enough facts relating to the sire, substance, speed, color find
general characteristics of his near ancestors, so those who
patronize him could do so intelligently.

In no other branch of breeding has there been kept so per-
fect and complete ahistory of each individual member of the
breed as with the trotters if an intelligent use is made of the
recorded facts no other branch of breeding should produce
more certain results.

The Bible says, "give me neither poverty nor riches,"
which I take to mean that kind of blissful sort of existence
that comes from raising first-class trotting-bred roadsters and
carriage horses that always sell for a good price, and hoping
th^t some day one of them will torn out a world-beater, and
sell for enough to make a fellow rich. — A Gardner, in Ameri-
can Breeder.

Robert Bonrer on Speed.

Albemarle, writing for the Sportsman, sajB: I dropped in
to see Mr. Frank Eoberge, the expert horseshoer, and im
reply to my question, "How is busioess?" be replied, "Very
dull, as but few of my customers have yet returned from the
country." As your readers are, perhaps, aware, Mr. Koberge
shoes the horses owned by Mr. Robert Bonner, and daring
my call Mr. Bonner happened to drop in.

I learned that Maud is at the farm at Tarrytown and in
the best of health.

That 2:08? does not represent the utmost limit of her
speed, Mr. Bonner firmly believes. "She was not in perfect
condition when she acquired her present record," said he,
"and it was not as creditable a performance as when she
trotted at Lexington in 2:09} late in the season when the
ground was frozen and the (rack necessarily slow." She was
a great mare that day," he added, thoughtfnlly, as if review
ing her wonderful performance. With a view of drawing an
opinion from Mr Bonner as to why the raie of speed is
increasing so fast, I said: "I neve at different times published
the opinions of prominent owners and trainers as to the
great improvement shown in the speed at the trotting gait,
and as to whether it was due to better bleeding, better train-
ing, better tracks, or all combined. It would give me pleas-
ure to also place your views before our readers."

"A brief review of the past will completely answer your
questions," said Mr. Bonner. "I began driving away back in
1856, and at that time a three-minute horse was fast. But
little attention was then given to breeding, and beyond the
Canuck who furnished knee action, there was but little in a
trotting pedigree to recommend it to the breeders of the pres-
ent day.

"1 see you like a Morgan cross in a trotting pedigree to

/e action?" I suggested.

give e

"Certainly I do," was the reply. "With the action of the
Morgan, the lengthened stride of the Hambletonian family
and a thoroughbred foundation for stamina we have the
essential elements for producing the fast trotter." But to
return to the Bubject he continued: "When I began driving
no intelligent thought had been directed toward breeding the
trotting horse, whereas to day hundreds of thousands of
dollars are invested and controlled in the business by many
of the foremost men in the country. From the trotter with
at moit one good trotting cross we have progressed to Maud
S. and Jay-Eye-See of to-day, and the breeding of each of
theBe seems to be as nearly perfect for producing extreme
speed as we can breed at present."

"I see you favor a strong infusion of thoroughbred blood?"
I said as he paused.

"Most assuredly," was the answer. "And it seems to me
that no intelligent student of the science of breeding the
trotting horse can in the light of actual developments ignore
such blood. Look at Senator Stanford — he has been breeding
for years, and with hundreds of horses, and everything
that unlimited wealth could do, he never succeeded in
breeding a trotter to beat 2:16, until the trotting blood was
backed up with the thoroughbred, as in the pedigree of Palo
Alto and Sunol."

"Then you attribute the great improvement made in the
rate of speed shown by trotters to better breeding?" I sug-
gested.

"Largely to that; but the improvement has been most not-
iceable in the rate from 2:20 to 2:15," was the reply. "We
are breeding many more trotters that can beat 2:20, but as
we near the limit of extreme speed we do not Ond any
that have beaten the 2:10 of Jay-Eye-See or the 2:03^ of
Maud S, and I am free to say that when the record of Maud
S is beaten, it will, in my opinion, be by a horse more highly
v>red; that is, with a stronger infusion of the thoroughbred
b'ood than she has."

"But do you not think that the improvement in training,
in constructing vehicles, and in trottiDg tracks has fully kept
pace with the improvement in breeding?" I suggested.

"Undoubtedly so," replied Mr. BoDner. "As an example,
when Dexter made his greatest performance, he was Bhod in
a manner that would be called very imperfect now. If I
remember correctly, he was shod with about an eighteen
ounce shoe forward. His action was excessive, and much of
his force was lo9t in this manner. Had he been shod with a
lighter shoe, say, about eleven ounces, and a light toe weight
added, his stride would have been lengthened, and he at the
same time have carried less weight. So, al*o, in construct-
ing tracks and keeping them in order. I well remember
when a gentlemen from Kentucky described to me a scraper
he was using on his track, and I had him build one and send
it to me. It improved my track two or three seconds, and
the track machines now in use are fully as much superior to
the first crude inventions. Improvement in speed, therefore,
has been the natural result of intelligent methods in breed-
ing, training and the facilities for constructing fast tracks
and improved vehicles."

"Have you any expectation of the two-minute trotter being
bred?" I asked.

"None whatever, speaking from our present knowledge,"
was the reply. "At the present time we have but few thor-
oughbreds that can run a mile in 2:00, and draw the weight
of sulky arjd driver required by trotting regulations. When
we breed the trotter to equal the runner in speed, it will be
time enough to speoulate about a two-minute trotter."

The pacer L. C. JLee 2:15, is reported permanently broken
down.

Robert Bonner sent a telegram congratulating Senator
Stanford on the grand performance of bis horse Pala Alto
recently. In referring to the matter afterward Mr. Bonnar
said: I was particularly glad to see that the fastest trotter
yet bred in California comes from a daughter of Planet.
Planet has more of the formation that gives us trotting act-
ion, tban any thoroughbred I eversnw. Thoroughbred blood,
in my judgement, is the key to further improvement in our
trotters. The trotter that beats 2:08$ will have still more
of the thoroughbred blood than Maud S."

Last Thursday at Salinas, the judges were evidently run-
ning under Boise Basin (everything coes) rules, the race
was a six hundred yards and repeat, with five starters, Cap-
tain Al a two year old was in with four others, and though
it was weight for age, and according to State Fair rules,
he should have carried 04 lbs. he was allowed to carry 115.
Bonndout won the firBt h^at, Captain Al the second; the
pair came out for the third heU, and Captain Al won, but
the judges declared it no heat, and brought all the horses
out again, why no one knows, and declared all bel^ c -1 Gra-

bly. There is something in heredity, perhaps; bat is this the
only moral?

PERFORMANCES OF THE WINNER.

The performances of Donovan will be still ao fresh in the
minds of our readers that it is hardly necessary to give a
lengthy notice of the colt's doings. We may, however, give
a few brief particulars. Donovan was bred by his owner,
the Duke of Portland, and haa for all his many engagements
been prepared by G. Dawson, at Newmarket. His first sea-
son saw him to the fore on eleven occasions, while this year
he has won the Prince of Wales's stakes at Leioeeter, New-
market Stakes, the Derby, Prince of Wales's Stakes at As-
cot, and the St. Leger, while on September 21st, he further
supplemented his long victorious list by adding over
£10,000 to the big account already placed to his owner's cred-
it The race also definitely decided that the Duke of Port-
land's coltis by far the best of his year.

Engagements. — Donovan is engaged in the Royal Stakes,
at the Newmarket Second October Meeting, and r Free Han-
dicap, for tbree-yesr-olds, at the Newmarket Houghton Meet-
ing. The events of 1890 for which he has beau entered are
the Rons Memorial Stakes, at Ascot, and the Lancashire
Plate, at the Manchester Autumn Meeting.

the race.

The parade was led by Enthusiast, who was followed by
Seabreeze, John o' Gaunt, Chitabob, Pioneer, Alicante,
Minthe, Sabrina, Antibes, St. Patrick and Donovan. In the
canter past the stand nothing went better than Donovan,
Chitabob, Enthusiast and Alicante. The lot proceeded to the
post, and after a couple of breakaway were despatched to a
moderately good start. The first away was Seabreeze, but
she was soon steadied, and Chitabob dashed to the front, fol-
lowed by Enthusiast, St. Patrick, Seabreeze and John o£
Gaunt, who were clear of Donovan and Pioneer; who in turn
were in front of Alicante, Minthe and Antibes; whilst Sa-
brina, who could not live the pace, was last. Chitabob's
speed easily kept him in front of his field, and in the first
quarter of a mile he nad increased his lead by two lengths.
At this point of the race his immediate follower was Enthu-
siast, whilst John o' Gaunt went on third. Then, at a close
interval, came Donovan and Pioneer, who were separated by
daylight from Antibes and Minthe, whilst Sabrina was tailed
away. Along the top of the bend of the course Donovan
gradually closed with Enthusiast, whom he headed when
fairly round the bend for home, Chitabob turning into the
straight with an undiminished lead. Half a mile from home,
however, Donovan became second, with Enthusiast and Pio-
neer in his wake, whilst John o'Gaunt beaten, was next, just
in front of Seabreeze, whilst St. Patrick went on nest from
Alicante, who from this point gradually crept forward on the
outside.

Hair way down the straight Donovan drew up to the heels
of Chitabob, and the race then became a match, but it was
easy to see that Donovan would win, for he was pulling for
bis head, whilst Chitabob was goiDg straight to his bit.
Three hundred yards from home Fagan's whip was up, and
his fate was scaled. He struggled on, but struggled in vain,
as Donovan strode away from him, and won easily by two
lengths. From the distance Alicante asserted her superiority
to the rest, and finiRhed two lengths behind Chitabob. At an
interval of four lengths from the French filly, Pioneer was
lourth; Seabreeze was placed fifth, about a neck behind Mr.
Abington's horse. Then at a clear interval came Enthusiast,

Donovan holds on unique record in Turf annals. The
Bard had a two-year-old record that puzzled people- Thor-
manby « wear-and-tear form has never been surpassed; but
the lucky duke's ' score fairly stuegers readers. Melanion's
viotory at Leicester added a bagatelle of £436.7 s lo an already
enormous pile, and yesterday's win tbrows a sum of £10 000
into the same plethorio heap. This latter item makes Dono-
van a total np to the present £38,075 for the present year,
while if the 188S winnings be added the colt must be credited
with £o4 542 ISs-n truly wonderful ligure. Good luck, in-
deed, befriended the lord of WelOeck, "at his birth the fairies
danced upon the hearth." His record of turf prizes for the
last two years reads thus:

The Wilkes Family this Year.
We have compiled the following table showing the perform-
ers contributed to the 2:30 list in 1889, by the desceDdants
of George Wilkes, says the Kentucky Stock Farm. The
table very likely omits some of the new performers, and the
season is not yet over, but the showing is truly a remarkable
one, notwithstanding and will no douht prove valuable to the
army of breeders interested in the Wilkes blood. George
Wilkes himself has added one new trotter and one new pacer
to his roll of honor, giving him a total of sixty-seven per-
formers, seven of which are pacers. Pour of the six great
three-years-olds of this year are of the Wilkes family, and
two or the Kentucky's best two-year-olds are the produce of
daughters of George Wilkes. The breeding-on capacity of
this strain is well illustrated in the table below, twenty-nine
sons having contributed sixty-nine new trotters and pacers to
the list, while his daughters have eight. In the next genera-
tion they have already begun to show up; the daughters of
his sons have put rive in the list this season and his g.iand-
sons have added three.

THE PACIFIC COAST TROTTING HORSE
BREEDERS ASSOCIATION.

A GRAND MEETING.

Ble Jim Fall* l>eacl on the Track-Suool Jo<»»* a Mile
In «:1 5 3-4.

A more beautiful day was never seen in San Francisco than
Saturday- October 12th, the delightful afternoon causing
about a thousand persons to congregate at the Bay Distriot
track to witness the contests of speed, the programme for
which had been prepared by the Directors of the new organi-
zation, which has started their initial meeting under 6uch
favorable auspices. The ladies, who usually patronize the
track in large numbers, were noticeable by their absence, a
rumor having gained currency that Sunol would only be
jogged for the three-year- old trotting stake, Bhe being the
ooly paid up entry, and as a natural consequence, many
staid awav who would otherwise have been in attendance if
they could have anticipated, what sport was in store for
them.

Among the gpntlemen lovers of horse flesh present, were
many familiar faces, and the opening day was somewhat of a
reunion. Among the well-known faces to be seen, were Senator
Leland Stanford, CongresBman-elect Thomas J. Clunie, ex-
Senator L. J. Rose of Los Angeles, Dr. R. Gross of Eureka,
Dr. Bovett of Montana, Dr. T. Maclay of Petaluma, Dr.
Proctor of the same place, J. B. McDonald of Marysville,
Frank Jackson of Los Gatos, Gen. J. W. B. Montgomery of
Butte Connty, Ariel Lathrop, manager Palo Alto Stock
Farm, W. S. Hobart, owner of Stamboul, Thomas Francis
Meagher, Frank H. Burke, Dan Waldron, R. T. Carroll, Lee
James, President of the Napa and Solano Agricultural
Fair Association, Mr. McCollum, of Napa Hotel fame, Ira
Pierce, h n Oakland capitalist, Walter' Overton, just returned
from a trip to the East, Chas. Pond, brother of the Mayor of
San Francisco, Harry Benedict, late of the Mint, J. H.
White, who as president of the Breeder's Association, haB
worked hard to make it a success, Tom Williams, man of the
world and a keen follower of all sporting events, J. H. Neal
representative of the Pleasanton 8tock Farm, G. Valensin,
the owner of Sidney, Capt. Ott, the well-known pilot. M. F.
Tarpey, vice-President of the Blood Horse Association, Rich-
ard Gird, ofthe celebrated Chino Ranch, Los Angeles Coun-
ty, and owner of the full brother to Sunol, C. S. Crittenden,
of the Golden Gate Stables, William Corbitt, of the San Ma-
teo Stock Farm, Capt. Ben Harris, the old-timer Tom Atchi-
son Ira Ramsdale,who has lately invested in running horses,
Chas. Holbrook, formerly of Chico, but now a resident
of San Francisco, Capt. N. T. Smith, of the S. P. R.
R, company, John McKerron, the great California horse-boot
man the well known E. A. Fargo, Joe Spanier
was also seen shaking hands with his friends,
Lot D. Slocnm, after whom the fast trotting
horse is named, Patt Farrell, the old driver who has a license
to ride for any one, Pete Brandow, the laughing driver, was
also to be seen showing his good nature to the audience, and
with a hearty, cheery laugh for everyone, Dr. Bowhill, of the
new horse infirmary, W. L. Ashe from Merced, Mr. Seymour
of the Russ House, A. Gonzalez, owner of the stallion Junio
and many other fast ones, Adolph Spreckels, one of the sugar
kings, C. W. Smith, owner of Abbottsford, J. B. Wattles, a
sport-loving member of the Pacific Union Club, was also
shaking hands with many friends.

The official judges of the day were H. M. LaRue, F. L.
CoombB and President Green, of the State Agricultural
Society, while the timers were R. T. Carroll, L. J. Rose and
H. W. Brown. The first attraction put forth by the associa-
tion was the three-year-old trotting stake, for which Sunol
was the only Btarter. Mr. Marvin came down the stretch
three times, and at last nodded for the word, the filly moving
very s'ow, at leaBt to the eye of the spectator, for her easy
frictionlesB gait causes her to cover ground much faster than
the ordinary observer would suppose. She passed the quar-
ter pole in 36 seconds, and was at the half in 1:11}, but from
here to the wire the filly came with a rare burst of speed, the
distanoe being negotiated in 1:04£, the total time for the mile
being 2:15J. It was patent to everyone present that she
could have beaten Axtell's record, but it was deemed expedi-
ent by Mr. Marvin and Mr. Lathrop to postpone the trial for
a record until this week.

Orrin A. Hickok then drove Stambonla pingle heat, more to
please the spectators than anything else, ne being accom-
panied by a running mate. The noted stallion has improved
wonderfully within the past month, and there is now a chance
that L. J. Rose, the former owner of Stamboul, may win his
bet from "Counsellor" Crawford, of Lexington, Ky , that
8tamboulin 1889 would lower hiB record to 2:12 or better.
He went easily and gracefully to the half in 1:08, and came
home in 1:07, showing much of his old speed.
National Stallion Stake.
The first real race of the day had as contestants Direct,
Dawn and Junio, they being the starters for the National
Stallion Stake, all the others failing lo pay up. A very large
contingent had arrived from Sonoma County, and to a man
they backed the field at $40, Direct bringing from $35 to $40.
After seveial attempts the bell was tapped to a moderate send-
off, Junio breaking immediately the wire was passed. Lee Sha-
ner carried Dawn to the front, and soon had two clear lengths
of daylight between him and Direct, Jnnio being still two fur-
ther lengths behind the little black. At the quarter pole Dawn
was six lengths to the good, and at this p^ini Shaner look
him back a little, evidently to have something in reserve if it
became n^ceseary on the homestretch. When well up tha
backstretch Direct was only two lengths to the bad, and on
the turn was lapping the wheel of Dawn. Junio in the
meantime was trailing, well in hand, Marvin keeping him for
the finish. As the pair of leaders turned into the straight

Dawn still had a slight advantage, but Direct came up slow-
\y inch by inch until at the drawgate was on even terms
with the son of Nutwood. AtthiB point Shaner struck Dawn
with the whip and he seemed to quit, not relishing the pun-
ishment. Direct came under the wire, winner in a jog by
four lengths, Junio about five lengths behind Dawn. Time,
2:18J. The investors in the mutuals were fortunate enough
to receive $8 95 for each ticket purchased.

Second Heat — The pools now showed that the talent were
satisfied that Direct could not lose for he sold readily at $60,
the field bringing but $15. Twice they failed to get off, but
a third attempt resulted in the bell starting them, Junio in
the lead, and Dawn fully one and a half lengths behind. Ab
they passed the quarter Andy McDowell Bent Direct along to
make fight for first place with Junio. At the half the Elec-
tioneer horse broke and Direct went to the front and on the
upper turn was six lengths ahead of his opponents. Dawn
was not taking kindly to his work and was evidently out of
the race. As they came down the homestretch Andy pulled
Direct up, and as they passed the wire there was about tbree
lengthB separating each from the other. Time, 2:19A. Mutu-
als paid $6.35.

Third Heat — All interest in the race was now over, the
only question being who would receive second money. The
Dawn money had evidently all gone in in the first two heatB,
for there were no field buyers in the third heat. The trio were
soon away, Direct taking the lead almost at the start, and
was never headed in the heat. On (he backs t retch the three
were in processional form with Junio in the middle. The posi-
tions were never altered, Direct winning the heat and race,
Junio taking second money and Dawn third. Time 2:19J.

The next event on the card was a specially made-up race,
in which the starters were L. J. Rose, Jr.'s Richmond Jr., R.
T. Carroll'B Moro, C. W. Smith'B Lucy Abbott, J. H. "White's
Kitty Alrnont and L. E. Clawson's Big Jim. Richmond was
the favorite in the betting, selling at $60, Moro $22 and the
field $28. The field scored several times, and were at last
tapped off, Big Jim taking the lead on the first turn, Kitty
Alniont and Moro were now striving for second and third
positions, Melrose being foarth, the favorite fifth and Lucy
Abbott last. Big Jim reached the half mile pole in 1:11 he
being a much better horse than almost aLyone thonght him
to be and he had opened up a gap of at least a dozen lengths.
Moro nothing daunted by the distance set sail for the leader
and the two had a merry fight down the homestretch. Big
Jim ultimately winning, as Moro broke near the drawgate.
The placed positions were Kitty Almont second, Mtlrose
third, Richmond fourth, Moro fifth and Lucy Abbott last.
Time 2:24*. Mutuals paid $13.70.

Second Meal — Th.i pool selling now changed somewhat the
field selling for S50, Richmond, Jr., §33, and Moro $11. Big
Jim again went to the front when the word was given, bat hb
lost his feet on the turn and Moro passed him, followed by
Lucy Abbott, Melrose being in fourth place. When Big Jim
oaught he was at Melrose's wheel, Kitty Almout and Rich-
mond trailing behind. As they entered the straight Nolan
saw there was no chance to win with Big Jim, so he palled
him up and took last place. Moro won easily, Lacy Abbott
second, Melrose third, Kitty Almont iourth, and Richmond,
Jr., fifth. Time, 2:27J. Mutuals paid $18.

Third Heat — John A. Goldsmith now appeared behind
Richmond, Jr., and the change was perceptible at once.
Richmond winning, with Moro a close second, the burst of
speed displayed by Richmond proving him a rare good one
for a "green on". Kitty Almont was third, Melrose fourth,
Lucy Abbott fifth and Big Jim sixth- Time, 2:24*.

Fourth Heat. — Richmond was again an established favorite
he bringing $50 to $8 for Moro and $6 for the field It took
several attempts to get them away, but at last they got a good
start and the favorite took a commanding lead almost im-
mediately whioh he kept to the head ofthe backstretch where
Hickok brought Moro along very fast and reached the head
of Richmond, but could not pass him aB Goldsmith let out
another link, the black horse having plenty in reserve. Down
the homestretch be had the heat won, and camennder thewire
two lengths inadvance of Moro. Melrose third, Kitty Almont
fourth, Lucy Abbott fifth and Big Jim. Time, 2:24£.

The horBes were called out for the fifth heat but it was so
dark that while scoring up the judges announced that the
race was postponed until Monday. Several of the horses
were well under way, Lucy Abbott going the whole course
and Pete Brandow received a cheer when finishing. The
crowd separated, very few having any idea of the catastrophe
on the backstretch. Big Jim bad been going so strong round
the turn that Nolan could not pall him up and jast before
the three-eighths he staggered and swerved to the inBide
fence. Nolan pulled hard on the other rein and turned him
round, when he fell, dead, facing the reverse way of the track,
having broken a blood vessel. The loss is a severe one to
Mr. Ulawson, the horBe being valued at $3,000. He was by
Gen. Benton, dam Dame Winnie (dam of Palo Alto 2:13§)
and was eight years old.

MONDAY.

Continuation of Special Race.

Fifth Heat — Only a few spectators turned out to see the
unfinished race, which was called up promptly at three
o'clock on Monday afternoon bbfore a moderate though thor-
oughly representative feathering, among whom the principal
topic of conversation was Big Jim's death. Mr. Clawson, the
owner, and Nolan, the driver of the horse, were the recipients
of many expressions of condolence and regret. Nolan was
very much cat up, for the horse bad been educated by him,
and to him the ere-dit should be given, for, as Clawson said,
he had taught Big Jim how to trot and to trot fast, no one
else having handled him duriog his career, id whioh he won
two matches and two races, and now was going so well that
2:20 or better woald have been his mark this fall. Nolan, who
graduated with the best trotting-horse trainers in the world,
is a particularly painstaking handler, and his work is gradu-
ally being more appreciated. At present among his Btring
are some that show great promise, the moat prominent being
a good looking blnck stallion, Guy Davis, by Erwin Davis,
the propeivy of Mr. Ayres; a bay mare by Dan Voorhees
(2:234,), dam Nellie, a thoroughbred mare; a bay gelding by
Goldnut; Birdie, a big gelding by Sultan (2:24), dam by Ster-
ling, 6223; and a chestnut pacer by Robert McGregor, 2:17£.

There were now five horses left in the race and Killips
most seductive tones could not elicit a solitary bid when the
horses came out at 3 o'clock with McDowell behind Kitty Al-
mont. They scored up half a dozen times and then received
the word with all five in a good line. Melrose was the first
to fall out, breaking ere fifty yards had been covered, and on
the first turn Moro went ftll to pieces and dropped back be-

hind Melrose: Meanwhile Kitty Almont and Richmond Jr.
were trotting steadily and fast, the mare haviDga shade the
worst of it until they swung into the baokBtretch, when she
trotted in grand style and crowding Kichnioud caused him
to break and .'ose six lengths. Kitty kept going well and led five
lengths round the torn, Richmond second three lengths in
front of Abbott.

Richmond was now trotting fast, and slowly gained on
Kitty, getting lo her wheel halt way down the stretch and up
to her head at the drawgate, but the effort told on him, and
he broke again, Kitty winning the heat by three lengths,
Richmood second, seven lengths in front of Mtlrose, who
had passed Lucy Abbott in the stretch, Moro was a bad last.
When the time was announced, 2:22 J, everyone congratulated
the owner, J. H. White, on the good record his mare had
obtained.

Sixth Heat — MeBBrs. Killip & Whitehead contrived to get a
few pools sold at S60 for Richmond, $12 for the field. Rich-
mond, Kitty Almont and Moro were the only three eligible
to start, and they received the word at the first attempt, with
Kitty a shade in front trotting fast, and going right out, waa
two lengths in front when fairly round the turn, with Rich-
mond half a length in advance of Moro. Goldsmith urged
Richmond, and under pressure he drew up to Kitty, being
only a neck behind at the half, and stayed there all the way
round the turn, getting level at the drawgate when the mare
brolie, running under the wire a nose in front of Richmond,
who took the heat, with Kitty Almont Becond and Moro, who
was only two lengths back, third. Time, 2:222.

WEDNESDAY.

The weather being fairly good a large crowd was expected
to witness the free-for-all and four year old races, but con-
trary to expectations only a small assemblage congregated at
the track, and they were almost entirely horsemen, among
whom in addition to those mentioned before were Messrs.
L. U. Shippee, the well known Stockton Director and owner
of a large stable of horses; Harry Agnew, the Honolulu
trotting horse owner; N Coombs, one of the Coombs Bros.'
of Napa and part owner of Lillie Stanley; Thos. Seales, one
of the execalors of the Sealed estate, owners of Alfred S; C.
H. Corey, of San Jose, the owner of Almont Patchen and
others; George Van Gordon, superintendent of Senator
Hearst's San Simeon Ranch; Bob Milroy, Van Ness' old part-
ner; Frank BalJwin, the energetic Fresno managing director;
Fred Loeber, the St. Helena owner of trotters; T. C. Snider,
the owner of Creole; H. S. Hogoboom, the well known owner
and driver from Eureka; Worth Ober and Harry Helman just
returned from Visalia; Judges Levy and Lawler represented
the benoh; John McCord, president of the San Jose Jockey
Club; Nick Steiner, whose Bush-street resort is the popular
horseman's lounging place; Mr. O'Kane, the well known
horse outfitter; Messrs. Kingsley and Schwartz deserted their
pool rooms and were on the ground; and Dr. W. F. Egan,
the tall vet was to be seen; Captain Travers, Senator Moffitt,
John Rowen,William Foote, the well knownjcounsellor; Wm.
Dunphy, the cattle king, Captain Egau, Mr. Edwards, A. T.
Schweer, L. E. Crellen, Jos. Diamond, R. F. Morrow, the
foinier owner of Elector, Alex McCord, Col Pullen, Captain
Hamley, A. T. Hatch, the well known fruit grower and own-
er of Guide and other promising trotteis; Colonel Morehead
from Livermore Valley; Captain Johnson drove his neat team
out each day; Colonel Gregory, the popular greyhound own-
er, was as usual smiling.

Senator McCarthy was combining political discussion with
trotting horse doctrines; Mr. McBaiu, of Menlo Park; Phil
Crimmms. the well known politician; D. Biggs, of Biggs'
Station, while late in the afternoon Joseph Cairn Simpson,
at one time owner of Marion (-'nm of El Rio Rey and Emper-
or of Norfolk) and other well known racehorses, while Anteeo
and Antevolo are recalled by all trotting men.

The first race on the programme was the trot for four year
olds with three paid up entriea. Direct w«s made a big favorite
and won in straight heats 2:194 each time. The Free-for-all
was the heaviest betting race witnessed so far duriDg the
meeting, the Montana Stable and followers losing a barrel of
money on Lord Byron who was easily defeated by Alired S.
in straight heats, and the crowd dispersed at a very early
hour.

Four Year Olds, Trotting.
The first race called up at one o'clock sharp was the four
year old trotting stake, with three horses left in. Direct was
the public favorite and sold readily first choice for $50 and
S60 to the field's $20 and $25. In the field were Balkan and
Hazel Wilkes, a strong tip being out on the latter, but she
failed to come up to expectation, for Direct won in straight
heats in singularily — 2:19J each time. When tne trio came
out for the first heat Balkan had the pole, and after scoring
up several times the word was given with all well together
and under way. Direct, trotting rapidly, took the ioside
position on the first turn and passed the quarter a good
length in front of Hazel, who was an open length in advance
of Balkan. The little black trotted very steadily, passing the
hall in l:l(H, two leogths in front of Haztl, while Baltau had
dropped back six lengths. Hazel closed the gap a little on the
turn, but could never get on even terms with Direct, who won
as McDowell pleased, with Balkan at the drawgate when he
wentuuder the wire. Time 2:19A.
Mutuals paid $6.55.

Second Heat— Direct was made a red-hot favorite, specu-
lators tnmbling over one another to bet $50 to $8 or £10 for
the field. The word was given at the third score, with Bal-
kan two lengths in the rear. Direct at once showed the way
to Wilkes, and going in his well-known reBolule style, passed
the quarter a length in front, with Balkan ten lengths in the
rear. Andy woke the black up, and gt'iog the next quarter
in thirty-three seconds, had two lengths the best of Hazel at
the half in 1 :10J, Balkan a long way in the rear. Direct in-
creased his lead round the turn and csme down the stretch,
eas-ly winoing by three lengths. Hazel second and Balkan
nearly a distance back. Time 2:J9£.
Mutuals paid S6.20.

Third Heat— The third heat wa3 called up after the first
heat of the free-for-all, and as pools were selling rapidly
the four year old was not touched. After scoring -
word was given with all three well in line. Gold i

Free-for-all Trotting.

■With Palo Alto and Dawn declared out, the free-for-all
looked like a good thing for Alfred S who easily obtained a
record of 2:18 at Fresno, but the Montana contingent ev -
Srhnr-iedLordBvion, fur pool Belling waB brisk with
A "»d 8 cWe at S250 to fellO Lord Byron, and $12 Lilhe
Stanley Very little time was wasted on the start, and all
three let the wire together. Lord Byron hit his leg and
broke before the tornrdropping back a long way in the rear,
while Alfred and Lillie trotted pretty evenly round the , tarn;
the gelding sharpened op, passing the quarter with daylight
between him and the mare, while Byron was fully fifty yards
back Byron was on his best behaviour up the baekstretch,
And dosed the gap fast, and when the homestretch was
Cached ^s only'siLen lengths behind Lillie while Alfred
was going easily two length- in front. Hickok looked back
once in the straight, and seeing there was no d™gei\ jogged
home two lengths in front. Byron was almost level with Lil-
lie at the draVgate, bat breaking, lost the place Dy two
lengths. Time 2:24. Mutuals paid *b.lO.

Second Heat— Eh* poor time made in the first heat and the
burst of speed displayed by Byroa caused pools to sell at a
big rate. Alfred brought §470, the Geld $105 and any quan-
tity- of pools were sold at that rate of odds and with al-
most as much money in every ticket. The word was received
after the second score, and with Alfred and Byron both tro -
tine steadily and fast, Stanley was soon in the rear. Hickok
took the gelding a length in front of Byron, and watching
him all the way up the backatretch, kepi his advantage, and
on the turn drew ont still further. Qointon drove Byron
bard down the stretch and got to witnin half a length of
Hickok (who had a lot in reserve) lOBide the distance, when
Bvron left his feet and Hicko£ again won easily. Lillie was
only just inside the nag. Time, 2:18|. Mntuala paid $6.45.

Third Heat— No one could be persuaded to bet a cent
against Alfred S.. so the bos was locked np and the mutuals
olosed When the trio scored up the first time, Lillie broke
just before the wire and they were rune back. The next time
thev came up level and received the word, Lillie was not
going fast enough for the other two, and was pulled in
behind Alfred, who led Byron a length round the turn,
and though the latter came up to his neck half way up the
stretch, Hickok let ont alink, and was a length in frortatthe
half. Byron stayed right on his wheel round the turn, and
when in the homestretch Quinton made his effort and drove
the stallion for all he was worth, while Hickok sat still watch-
ing him, and without once touching Alfred, won by half a
length, -which could easily have been made seven or eight.
Lillie wan forty yards behind, pulling up when Goldsmith
found that pursuit was useless. Time, 2:I9J.

trado made with the Califoruia dealer. Cohnfeld says that
on September 16, at Fleetwood, he gave in exchange for the
horse known as Ned Fay, a hovso and mare together worth
$1,300, and $700 cash. Ned Fay was guaranteed to be only
rive years old, as sound as a new silver dollar and a firBt-
cluss roadster. He declares that the hor6e fell far behind
tbe warruntv, and that when he proposed trading back Mc-
Carthy would not listen to any such proposition. An attach-
ment was granted against 'the property of McCarthy in the

Racing at Salinas.

The weather was splendid last week and quite a large crowd
turned out. every one being much pleased with the sport pro-
vided On Friday Jes=ie D. Carr, O. H. Willoughby and
H. 3. Ball were in the judges' stand. The unfinished race
onlv required one heat, Albert winning easily in 2:43£. Ine
first race on the regular programme had three entries and took
sis heats to finish the race. Lee, whosold for little or noth-
ing in the pools, broke badly in the first three heats, but set-
tling down in the last three, just naturally outstayed and out-
trotted the other two. The 2:85 claBs was easily won by St.
Patrick, driven by DonathaD, who lost the third heat and
then took the fourth and race. Tho half mile and repeat had
to be postponed owing to darkness until Saturday, when Jes-
ee D. Carr was joined in the Btand by MeBsrs. M. Lynn
and A. Wideman. The half mile and repeat waB at once
called up and three horses came ont Lady R was made fa-
vorite but lost the first heat, not making much of an effort.
In the second there was only about a neck between the
first three. Ladv K wbb given the heat, though most people
thought that Kit'ty C won. In the third beat Lady R won
readily by two lengths. The free-for-all trot was easily won
by John L, a son of Junio. Tbe novelty race was not very
interesting. Grover Cleveland took the quarter and Rond-
oat the otner four.

tion that the race was not being rnn out on its merits, de-
clared the race and all bets off.

JameB Bowers, brother of Mr. Bowers of tbe Golden Eagle I
Sacramento, has been in California for some months and haa >
ultimately decided to stay here as the climate suits him. As
a driver and trainer, he has a good reputation back East, and
last week he purchased from J. McGord, Sonny Knoll, Sacra-
mento, a brown filly foal, (sister to Mary Lou 2:254, and Ned
Winslow paoer 2:17 J); a bay yearling stallion by Tom Benton
dam Lady Talmage by McCraoken(s Blaok Hawk and a chest-
Dot gelding two years old by Tom Beuton dam Fannie by
McCracken'a Black Hawk. Next season Mr. Boners who
has been driving Tom Benton for some time should have
quite a nice stable,

Grim'B Gossip.

Mr. M. Salisbury has refused $28,000 for his inimitable
filly Margaret 8.

The Pacific Coast Trotting Horae Breeders Association is
already an assured thing for the future.

Mr. James Galway, owner of the Freakness Stable, on Oc-
tober the 8th, signed Martin as his principal jockey for the
season of 1S90.

If Hamilton, Winchell and Barnes figure in the saddle
next montn at the Blood Horse meeting, they should prove
a drawing card.

Elkwood, the Suburban winner in 1888, with 119 lbs. up,
was sold U Mr. Kitson for $5,000, and will stand at the
Erdenheim Stud Farm nest treason.

Four horses have already fallen dead on the Fair Grounds
track at Lexington, Ky. The last to go below was a two-
year-old son of Cuyler, called Tom Foiman.

Margaret S. if not already at home, will be within a day or
two. She is accompanied by Roy Wilkes the celebrated pa-
cer who will winter on the Pacific Coast.

Eastern gosBipers say that August Belmont, the well known
banker will import an English Jockey for nest season. Gar-
rison, it, is said will ride for John A. Morris.

Cbitabob by Robert, the Devil out of Jennie Howlett, ran
secoud to Donovan for the Lancashire Plate and is for sale
at £10.000 according to the London Sporting Life.

One singular feature of the four-year-old trot on "Wednes-
day was that Direct, who led all the way; passed the half in
1:10J. and went under the wire in 2:I9i In every heat.

Astel 2:12 has been sold to an Illinois and Indiana syndi-
cate for' the reputed sum of $105,00n. His new owners can
get the amount back in service fees m less than four years.

The Maltese Villa Stable is almost certain to be represen-
ted at the Blood Horse Fall Meeting. Geraldine if in form,
will probably aBtonish tome of the quarter-horse contingent-

Junio received second money in the National Stallion
Stakes, beating Dawn for the place. His time was but
Blifihtly slower than that made by the winner, being 2:20J
anu 2:20*.

There is every reason to believe that Los Angeles and
Caliente' with possibly a couple of two year olds, will repre-
sent the Santa Anita stable at t be forthcoming Blood Horse
meeting.

Col. Thornton's James Madison (Anteeo — Lucy Patohen)
is working very well at Pleaeanton, and Swann will bring
him up lo the Bay for a record before the year is out. His
best mile so far has been 2:27.

Andy McDowell handled Kitty Almont with the skill of a
master hand in the finish of the special race on Monday, tb«
record he obtained for Kitty Almont, particularly pleasing
all the friends of J. H. White.

A number of inquiries have been made relative to the
breeding of Constantine. recently sold by T. C. Anglin to W.
H. Crawford for $20,000. He is by Wilkes Boy, dam Kinco-
ra by Mambrino Patchen.

Jack Dowd will start to California soon with Sunday, Joe
Bowers, White Stockings and Recent Jr. Jack says: "I
will beat Geraldine or go broke." After the fall meeting
down there h.s stable will go to New Orleans.— Rural Spirit.

It is now rumored in Eistern horse circles that Sam Gam-
ble has offered $10,000 for Rosa Wilkes 2:18*. This game
daughter of tue imortal George Wilkes is in foal to Nutwood
2:ISJ. This would be a great addition to the brood mares of

California. .

E. H. Newton and his pacing borse Thomas Rider, was
suspended by the American Association, at the instance of
the member at Petaluma. However, tbe ban has been re-
moved, and both owner and horse have been restored to

good standing.

Casey Winchell was one of the attractions at Reno. Mr.

t Winters seat back for Winchell to ride at the meeting, aB it

was improvable whether El Rio Rey would start again this

i season, and if he did one of the crack East-rn riders could

easily te obtained.

J. S. Trask, Prescott, Wyn., brei and raised the mare
Kitty Van, that rar the half mile and repeat at Fresno,
beating SuBie S , in the good lime of 49* and 49. She is by
Vanderbilt, sou of Norfolk, dam April Fool, by Waterloo,

son of imp. Yorkshire.

Frank Lowell of Sacramento, is in Kentucky, attending to
Fallis 2:23, whom he leased to A. J. Ahsauder, of Woodburn,
Kentucky. It he does not dispose of the stallion he will re
turn to California with him and prepare him for a better re-
cord after nest season's Btnd duties.

El Rio Rey is a candidate for the rich American Derby of
1890 although an erroneous statement to the contrary has
been widtly published. We learn from Secretary Brewster
that Theodore Winters made four entries for this event, as
follows: El Rio Rey, Chan Haskell, Barrett and Rascal.

Scott Quinton will leave for Bitter Root Valley, Montana,
early next month, and winter there. There had been a
general impression that tbe trotters would stay on the
coast, but Mr. Quinton says emphatically no, they will not;
the winter is mild enough in the valley for us.

On one of the Nevada tracks during the last few weeks,
in a race tbey had a horse who would only go the reverse
way of the track so the judges obligingly started them off
that way.

Senator Hearst returned on Wednesday night from the
East. He will probably not start anything at the fall meet-
ing of the Blood Horse Associotion. He says, weather and
track good, Gorgo can beat all comers.

Signorina (St Simon — Star of Portice) the winner of the
Middle Park Plate, the crack English two year old raee
which is run over the Bretby Stakes Course at Newmarket
has now won six races and has never yet suffered defeat she
carried 126 lbs. in her last race.

Some one suggested at Carson, during the progress of a race
that a change of drivers would be advisable. The judges a-
greed, and McConnell's name was mentioned, but the judges
said no, what's the matter with Buster, we know he is a good
driver, and don't know anything of your man McConnell.

Adonis is rounding to in grand form, and Mr. Hickok is
correspondingly happy. As a natural consequence, there
has been a deal of badinage between the rival pacing men,
and now Mr. Hickok wants to wager $5,000 that he ean beat
Yolo Maid, and tbe Montana parties are willing to take it up,
if time is given them to get the mare back to proper shape.
Mr. Hickok is also willing to bet that Adonis can beat Little
Brown Jug's three heats. There is a strong probability that
a match will be arranged between Adonis and Yolo Maid.

History repeats itself in many ways, and so does racing.
People say there is no such thing as luck. Clawson owned
La Grange, who obtained a record of 2:23 J, and then died on
the track. Big Jim, after a careful education, gets the same
record with ease (2:23J), and drops dead on the track before
the race is over. "Sic euntfata hominum ."

Ormonde should be in his Southern home ere this. South
America spares neither money nor time when procuring good
horses, and the magnificent ton of Ben d'Or and game old
Lily Agne3 should, although bad in his wind, make a good
stallion. Worse roarers than he have not transmitted tbe
propensity here. Prince Charlie, to wit.

Some men are born lucky, and some are born rich, and
Johnny Goldsmith belongs to the former class. On Wednes-
day afternoon, he lost a valuable diamond, and he had no
idea where the brilliant could have been dropped, but later
in the afternoon, one of the stable boys found the missing
stone among the bedding in one of the stalls.

Most of the leading drivers and owners espress themselves
as highly gratified with the success of the trotting meetings
this year, and predict a bright future for trotting sport.
The present season has shown a large increase in attendance
as well as in the number of horses and size of the fields,
while the excitement has been greater, and the speculation
heavier than in previous years.

A. T. Ha'ch had his aptly named stallion Guide (Director
— Imogen*) worked out for the last time this season. The
good looking black worked in his best style, the fastest heat
was 257. Nest year Guide will be sent for a better record
and should easily get one near 2:20. Mr Hatch has several
promising youngsters including one by Sidney dam by Irvin-
gton and another by Guide out of an Admiral mare.

Shelby Barnes, the little colored jocksy commonly known
as "Pike" last week signed a contract to ride for "Luoky"
Baldwin next year from Feb. 1 to the close of the racing sea-
sou in the East. The jockey's interests were looked out for
in the drawing of the contract by Counselor Abe Hummel.
Through him also the difficulties between Baldwin and his
first jockey, Isaac Murphy, were satisfactorily adjusted with-
out the necessity of a suit at law. It is generally believed
that Murphy will ride for the Dwyers almost exclusively nest
season.

Since our last issue Astell has made another new record,
the present one being for three-year olds, 2:12. but in mik-
ing this he also establishes a new stallion record for all ages.
The cutting was done at Terre Haute, Indiana, on Friday,
October 11th. With good weather here there are at least two
horses that can beat Astell's record, and I only hope my
Eastern readers will not think I am puffing California, for
there is a chance that before this copy may reach them that
not only the three-year old record is beaten, but that the
stallion record is also rubbed out.

Tom Benton, the sire ot Ntd Wioslow pacer 2:17J, and
Mary Lou four year old 2:25J has also a pacer three years
old who received first money at Qoincy to stay out. The
three are out of mares by McCracken's Black Hawk. Tom
Benton who will be driven for a record next week, is by Gen
Benton 1755, dam Nellie Patcben, by G. M. Patchen Jr. 31,
grand dam Lize a mare who trotted in Wisconsin in 1859 or
1860.

When the four year old race was over on Wednesday, I
had a talk with McDowell about Direct, in answer to the
question "how do you account for Direct being beat at Oak-
laud". The shrewd driver looked up and said rather slowly
"that raca taught me a lesson. I will never again allow
friends around my stable, especially where the odds are as
large as they were in that race." And that was all he would
say.

Among the many horsemen at the opening day of the P. C.
T. H. B. A. was J. B. McDonald of Brigadier fame. Jim
says he has let up on Fedora for this season. The sis year
olddaaghler of Brigadier 797 and American Maid has al-
most peifect frictionleas, untiring action, and will nest year
make a grand campaigner. Jim says, that although he would
sell, 52,500 is the price, and he is not ansious to let her go
atthat figure.

The best ringer in the running business is, says the Denver
Field and Farm, a seven-year-old mare at present running
out on grass at Salt Lake City; Cayuse Molly, Gray Molly, or
Mormon Ann as she is called, is said to have run three fur-
longs in 31 seconds. When she beat Kitty Ward at Glenwood
Springs the talent took S7000 on the deal. Her owners are
said to be meditating a trip tc California.

H. S. Woods & Son of Blue Lake are building up a fine
blood stock farm, and animals of their breeding are gaining a
locdl reputation. The Humboldt Mail says: "We saw two fine
specimens of red polled cattle on Tuesday of last week,
raised at their farm, and then on their way to Ferndale, where
they had been sold, one to J. Davenport, and the other to
J, Worthington. The animals were eight months old, large
and gentle, and as near alike as two peas."

A Mare mule which has been in use as a work animal, at
the ranch of Hon. T. Dywer, near Cheyenne, Wyo., dropped
a colt a week ago, and has taken such care of her progeny
that the remarkable creature, though under-Bized, is healthy
and will live. The colt's body is like that of a horse, while
the ears are very long and the head mnlisb. The sire is a
light grade French stallion. There are but few other authen-
ticated instance of a mule foaling. A mare mule at the Paris
zoological gardens and her colts are driven in a cart.

The three year old Halcyon, by Fallis, dam Girofle, has
had his n*me changed and will hereafter be called "Fresno."
He will be taken down to the Southern City of the San Joa-
quin and there stood for stallion service. He is a grandly
bred young fellow and should command a large amount of
patronage. __

It is doubtful if Hanover will evtr see the post again. His
tendon is bowed in the very leg that was operated upon a
year ago, and he cannot be trained. The Dwyers will proba-
bly sell him if they can get their price. If not, they will try
and train him again next season, although it is doubtful if it
can be done successfully.

Hickok's faco never gives much indication of a good thing,
in fact he could probably give the Sphinx seven pounds and
a beating. On Wednesday his face was perfectly immobile,
and while Quinton was driving hard down the stretch the
veteran was aa cool and collected as if out for exercise, and
that was really about all it was.

Friday morning the old racehorpe, Billy the Kidd, was shot
on a farm near Ro3sville, says the Nevada State Journal.
He had his hind leg cut by barbed wire some we^ks ago, and
of late he bad become so helpless that he was scarcely able
to stand up, and Mr. A. D. West, owner of the horhe, or-
dered that tne animal be shot. Tbe Kidd figured promin-
ently on the turf several years ago, his forte being long dis-
tance races. He was sired by Leinater, and his dam was by
Lilly Simpson, being a full brother to Dave Douglass.

Mr. Newton, the well known Australian importer, has sus-
tained a severe loss, in the death of his chestnut olt Dere-
lict imp (Robinson Crusoe — Beatrice). Last Spring at Sacra-
mento, nearly all tbe horsemen said he had big head, but
as thtre was some doubt in his owner's toiu-l.Jhe was brought
to the city, and then removed to Oakland. Last week be
died. Mr. Newton says most distinctly from osteo-pyrrhosie
or Big head. The colt was offered for pale last Spring for
$6,500, and from his exceptional braeding should have been
invaluable in the stud, while as a race horse, he ought to
have been a good one.

Mr. S. N. Straube, of Fresno has sold the well-known stal-
lion Pasha 2039, record 2:36, to D. Bryson, of Stockton the
consideration being $5,000. Mr. Bryson has secured a valu-
able horse one that should received a large amount of pat-
ronage from the horse breeders of San Joaquin county.
Pasha is by Snltan 2:24, dam Madam Baldwin by the Moor;
2nd dam by Ben Lippencott he by Williamson's Belmont.
He has the double cross of the Moor blood which has pro-
duced great speed in his foil brother Bay Rose 2:?0i.

Bookmaking is very shaky as to its legal position in the
East. Ike S. Thompson & Co., on October the 8th, received
tbe privilege of;making a book at the New-York Jockey Club
tra^k on the Jerome Park races. This privilege was granted,
for the purpose of accomodating a number of the West Ches-
ter track patroos, who do not want to play in the city pool
rooms. It was afterwards suggested to Mr. Morris, that the
making of such a book might be considered an infraction of the
law. Mr. Morris's attorney concluded that it might be so
construed and permission was revoked, and the Jerome
Park book, which did only a light business, was closed at
once.

At the Bucks County Fair grounds at Doylestown, Penn.,
last week, matrimony and horse-racing were mised together.
A country "galoot" and his best girl were married on the
track immediately in front of the grand-stand. The words
"go" and "send-off'' were given by Justice of the Peace J.
Freeman Hendricks. The name of the meek-eyed and gentle-
filly was Miss Elise D. Heston. The "party of the second
part" is known by the name of George Washington Bethel.
The judges were not called upoi to assign the contestants in
the race their respective positions. What nest? How the
match will terminate remains to be seen. — Philadelphia Item.

Hotspur 3 year3 old by Joe Daniels dam Sister to Jim
Douglas who has been entered m W.B. Todhnnters name
in several stakes will run in future with the Deunison Bros,
as owners. The new firm are also owners of the two year
old chestnut filly Minnie B (Prince of Norfolk dam by Wil-
didle) who is entered in several stakes nest year in G.W.Tra-
hern's name. Young Dan and his brother who are about as
quiet, careful handy boys as any on tbe coast should make
a good showing with their stable for Hotspur showed his
mettle at Sacramento and took about the whole programme
up country since, while the filly is one of the most prom-
sing at Sacramento and if there is any thing the boys don't
know why sure old Dan will tache 'em? and what Dan does
not know is not worth knowing.

When the race for the Spirit Futurity Stakes was oyer
President Edwards summoned the owners of the winning
colts to the judges' stand, where each in turn was congratu-
lated and presented with his share of the winnings. To the
owner of Margaret S. Colonel Edwards said, "You have
come along distance, and Margaret S. has won a race, which
was for blood from start to finish. Many predicted that
coming from Calitornia over a long journey to Cleveland the
filly could not be able to win in the chilly climate of Cleveland,
but those who have seen this race know that she has trotted
as game a race as any horse did and won. Before this race
we could recognize no man, but since it is over let us con-
gratulate you." He then presented the cup and a check.
The recipient, as did the owner of Palo Alto Belle and
FortUDa made brief speeches.

Probably few persons are aware how many thoroughbred
horses are annually sent abroad from England. The last
volume of the "Stud Book," just issued, shows that during
the four years 1S35-88 nearly 2,300 English racehorses were
dispatched to various quarters of the globe — an average of
little short of 600 per annum. Oi these the greater number
— some 900 — went to different parts of South Ameriea, to
Buenos Ayres in particular, though Monte Virieo, Brazil, Rio
de Janeiro, River'Plate and the Argentine Republic have had
a considerable share. Only 118 were esported to the United
States, and these were for the most part a very moderate lot.
To Francs 91 horses, inclndiog some very good ones, and 192
mares, have been dispatched. Germany has imported close
upon 700; Holland 20 horses and a dozen mares; India 39
horses and rive mares; Italy 21 horses and 18 mares; Poland
horses aDd five mares; Portugal five horses and a dozen
mares; Russia 10 in all; and Spain the same number.

At Newmarket, on the 25th ult., tbe third day of the First
October meeting, the Granby Plate of £300, for two-year-olds,
ran over the Peel course (six furlongs), was won by Mr.
August Belmont's chestnut colt Polonius by St. Blaise, ont
of Polenta, by Macaroni, carrying 117 lbs. and ridden by F.
Barrett. It was tbe colt's first race and he started favorite at
11 to 10 against winning cleverly by a npek irom the Duke
of Beaufort's brown Hlly Procids, with three others running.
Mr. Belmont shipped Polonius to England last year. He ran
as the entiy of Mr. Leopold de Rothschild, and was trained
at Newmarket by Hayhoe and is nominated for the Derby of
1890. Vigilant, of the London Sportsman, says: "For the
Granby Plate the good-looking and conspicuous Polonius was
made favorite and fully justified the confidence placed il
He was hred in America at Mr. Belmont's stud and i
Blaise, to which horse he bears considerable
and yeaterday*s victory should bo by no means the
regarded against bis name."

Coiton Wins the Diamond Medal.

A. W. Bruner, Cliatiiplon.

Last week thia paper presented the results of the shooting
on the first two days of the San Jose tournament, the hour
for going to press precluding any later report. In this issue
the remaining matches appear.

Friday, October 11th. — The attendance on the third day
was larger than before, many ladies being present. The day
was tine and pleasant. The wind was slight and on the
whole rather favorable than otherwise to the shooters. The
day opened by shooting off the match, which was inter-
rupted by darkness on Thursday. The contest for the Fay
diamond medal was next called. There were thirty-three
entries for this match, but one of them, Mr. Evans, was ruled
out, after he had shot seven birds, on the ground that the
medal was open only to residents of California, and Mr.
Evans lives in Oregon. The match proved to be a very long
one, and occuoied most of the dpy. It was after 4 o'clock
before the second match waB called. This match was origi-
nally rixed for fifteen birds, but owing to the lateness of the
hour, the number was reduced to ten. Even with this re-
daction the match did not close until after sun-down.

The first match, at bix birds, Hurlingham style, $5 en-
trance, had forty-two entries, including about the pick of the
trap shots of California. It was a bruising race, only clean
scores being available to secure money or prizes. Thirteen
tied on six each. They decided to divide the entrance money
and draw lots for the three'rernaining prizes. Captuin Pratt
drew a lightning gun cleaner, Mr. Cooob a pair of Canadian
hunting boots, and Dr. O. F. Britton a revolver.
The score was: —

Mr. Edward Fay, representing the Association championship
for the year. Thirty-two men qualified for the match, the
entrance money, one hundred and sixty dollars, going to the
winner of the medal last year, Mr. Crittenden Robinson.
The match was one of the prettiest ever seen, despite the fact
that Messrs. Fay, Robinson, Haas and other cracks were shot
out. At the end three had clean scores, Messrs, "Wiley,"
of Coiton, Merrill of Stockton, and King of Sacramento.
These gentleman shot off the tie in snch olean, graceful and
mutually considerate style as to aronse the enthusiasm of
the spectators. Mr. "Wiley" fairly outshot his competitors
and carried away the rich trophy.

SATURDAY, OCT. 12TH,

The "Winchester Repeating Shotgun match was regularly
set for Friday, but could not be reached, and in consequence
was shot off on Saturday morning. It was unique, a go-as-
you-please, use of six loads permitted. Only a few had had
experience with the repeating shotgun, and it speaks vol-
umes in behalf of the shooting powers and ease of manipula-
tion of the arm that novices should score so finely with it.
Frank E. Coykendall was quickest, getting in four shots on
Borne of the targets. Messrs. Austin JB. Sperry and Martinez
Chick tied on 17 and divided 40 and 30 per cent, of the en-
trance money. Major Kellogg, Dr. Britton and Mr. "Smith"
tied on 16 and divided 30 per cent, of the entrance money,
and the two shotguns, Mr. Smith getting one of the guns and
Major Kellogg the other by lot. The other prizes were al-
lotted as hereinafter mentioned.

Board of Forest™ to the O.S.SA.

SECRETARY CALIFORNIA STATE SPORTSMAN'S ASSOCIATION.

I

The presB of this State having announced that during the
Convention now pending at San Jose an injury would be
made into the inquiry arising to the tish-bearing streams of
this State, due 10 the destruction by tires of the timber
growth aligning these streams, and to suggest remedial
measures in caBe such damage and injury were found to exist.
Now, therefore, the Stale Board of Forestry having cogni-
zance of such purposed action by your honorable body, begs
to submit to your attention and consideration the following

facts:

1, That the agents of the Board have posted conspicuous-
ly and over a large area of this State, warning notices
against violation of the forest tire law.

2. That by the offering of liberal rewards, by the employ-
ment of competent agents, and by the retention of the best
legal talent, the Board has been uDtiring and vigilant in en-
deavoring to bring to justice offenders againBt this law.

3. —That despite some arrests (trials of which are now
pending), the inefficiency of the law, and the obvious diffi-
culties attendant upon securing evidence of an incontestable
oharaeter, have hitherto operated as a bar to the successful
prosecution of these cases, but that such failure has in no
way operated to induce the Board to relax its vigilance, nor
cease from all reasonable efforts to punish wrong-doers.

4_ That in the opinion of the Board, the evil under con-
sideration by your body is a most grave and serious one. Not
alone from the mechanical iDJury to fish aod game incident
to the terrific heat of lorest tires, but from the necessarily
raised temperatures of all waters exposed to unbroken sun-
light, and the sure and inevitable shrinkage in volume which
must enure from the timber denudation of the water sheds
tributary to these water courses.

5, That this Board has ascertained Ibe utter impracticabil-
ity of staying a forest conflagration when under.head way. Baek
firing has proved efficacious in rare instances, and the risks
inoident thereto are so grave (when high winds prevail) that
it is a remedy only to be entertained as a last resort — and in
any case implies the'ready availibility of a large force of men,
a condition not always at command in timbered and sparsely
settled districts.

6, The board has also rejected the suggestion made that

every trail, water course, camping ground, and stock route
to the mountains, should be placed under police surveillance.
It wonld require an army of men, and all the revenue of the
State to perform this service, and still offer no adequete as-
surance that tires would not originate somewhere.

7. After weighing all the measures and suggestions made

to them for the abatement of the existing evil, the Board is
still of the opinion that punitive measures are the only ones
offering any solution ot the difficulty, and that bringing to
justice a few offenders, will not only act as a deterrent to oth-
er evil-doers, but, result in campers prospectors and others
exercising greater caution in the suppression of their camp
fires.

8.— To this end the State Board of Forestry asks the hearty
co-operation of your body, and that such of your agents for
the protection of tish and game as are in tbe field be instruct-
ed to gather such information of a criminating nature as they
may with regard to the origin of these tires, and report the
same to the office of this Board, which will thereupon send an
agent to the Bpot aDd push the matter to an ultimate issue.

9.— This Board furttoei'inore respectfully suggests that your
honorable body by resolution or petition urges the co-opera-
tion of the State Commission of Fish and Game with our
Board, in order that their agents may work to the same end

The eighth annual business meeting of the association was
held in the parlors of the Lick House, San Jose, on the even-
ing of October 11th.

In the absence of the President, R E. Wilson, who was in
Mexico, and the vice-President, Dr. S. N. Cross, who was in
New York, the meeting was called to order by the Secretary.
Mr. A. B. Sperry, of Stockton, was chosen temporary Chair-
man.

The Chair was authorized to appoint a committe of three
on credentials, and Messrs. Osborn, Robinson and Kellogg
were bo named.

The Committee on Credentials reported the following
persons entitled to seats.

California Wing Shooting Club — Messrs. Eobinson and
Fay,

Recreation Gun Club — Messrs. Payne and Holbrook.
Colton Gun Club— Messrs. Broner and Roberts.
Grass Valley Sportsman's Club — Messrs. Fletcher and
Elliott.

Stockton Gun Club — Messrs. Sperry and Haas.
Rod and Gun Club — Messrs. TJnger and Britton.
The convention was then regularly called to order, and the
minutes of the preceding meeting read and approved.

The report ot the Directors being called for, the Secretary,
on behalf of the Board, reported that the specific aims of the
association had been kept closely in view throughout tbe year,
and that the Board had established and maintained very
friendlyrelations with the Fish Commissioners, who especially
were deeply interested in the objects of the association, and were
ready to furnish funds for the prosecution of violators of the
tish and game laws, and for the introduction of game tish and
game birds not found in California. Tbe report wasadopted.
The following letter and subjoined communicatian were
then read :

San Bernardino Mt., Oct. 6, 1889.
Secretary of California Sportsman's Association,
— Dear Sir: — In California the interests of the
political economist, the farmer and the sportsman all unite
in demanding the preservation and intelligent management
of our mountain forests.

We need a body of forest officers whose duty it should be
to regulate the cutting of timber, prevent forest tires, patrol
the forests and protect them and also see to thejenforcement
of, tish and game laws.

I venture to send you a suggestion for the action of your
convention bo that you can adopt a course that will aid the
efforts of the American Forestry Congress in this direction.
I have been moved to this course by the view from my
camp on this mountain of great stretches of dead trees burned
to death in past years and by miles of dead trees burnt in a
forest tire this year. The fish and game of the State must
disappear if the forests are destroyed. Yours respectfully,

Abbot Kinney,
of Santa Monica, Cal.
Whereas, The waste, robbery and destruction by fire of
the mountain forests of California must diminish, if not ex-
terminate, the game of the state, and

Whereas, The destruction of our forests in destroying
our wa'er supply, first, by the fact that rain upon steep
mountains, which have been denuded of all brush or trees,
rushes off suddenly with impetuosity, carrying sand earth,
stones and bonlders, which must again be deposited upon
tbe lands of the valley. Second, by the fact that the rainfall
thus wasted in destructive floods and torrents is incapable of
supplyi' g the springs and streams, and,

Whereas. These effects of waste and tire are injurious
alike to the lover of nature, to , the irrigator, to the business
and commerce dependent upon agricultural returns, and to
the sportsmen of California, therefore, be it

Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to mem-
orialize CongresB in favor of a withdrawal of the monntaia
forests lands from entry or sale and the creation of an effi-
cient Forest Department for the management of such forest
preserve, so that the ripe timber may be cut while the new
growth to replace the trees used is protected, and that the
watersheds of our streams and springs sha;l be secured from
undue denudation and consequent failure of their water sup-
ply-

The communication and proposed resolutions of Mr. Kin-
ney were received and placed on file. In speaking to the
resolutions, Mr. H. T. Payne of Los Angeles said that the
keynote of success was the protection of the game and fish
of the State. They have been growing less from year to year
by the reckless market hunter without right or justice.
The laws were excellent, but were constantly violated. A
committee was needed to draft suitable laws to be presented
to the next Legislature, in which the following subjects
should be attended to.

First — The abolition of the present State Board of Forest-
ry and State Board of Fish Commissioners.

Second — The enactment of a new law dividing the State
into five districts, the lines of these districts to be so drawn
that the climatic conditions of each entire district would be
as near tbe Bame as possible.

Third — Providing for the appointment by the Governor of
one commissioner for each of these districts; each commis-
sioner to r ceive a salary of Bay $2000 per year and neces-
sary traveling expenses; eaob commissioner to give his entire
time to the business of his office.

Fourth — This commission of five to have entire supervi-
sion of the forests, fish and game of the State.

Fifth— This commission shall employ at least oue man in
each district at the necessary salary as a field marshal,
whose business it shall be to remain constantly in the field
for the purpose of apprehending and arresting violators of
the forest, tish and game laws of the State.

Sixth — The commission shall adopt such rules and regula-
tions, not inconsistent with the State laws, as it sball deem
necessary for the proper protection of the forests, fish and

game, for the restocking of streams, for the planting of trees
along the public highways, and the importation and distribu-
tion of foreign varieties of game.

Seventh — This committee sball make a bi-annnal report of
all its work and its expenditures, and submit to each legisla-
ture an estimate of the necessary appropriation for the suc-
cessful workings of the commission lor the next two years.

Eighth — This commission, by the action only of four-fifths
of its members, shall have power to change the dateB as pro-
vided by the State law. of the seasons in which game or tish
ma}r be legally taken in the various districts, but it shall in
no case extend the length ot Baid open season.

Mr. Pavne addressed the meeting in support of the reso-
lutions offered by bim. and asked that a good working com-
mittee be appointed by the chair to take the matter in hand
ane present it to the legislators.

Crittenden Robinson spoke upon the subject. His ideas
concurred with those of Mr. Payne, whom he said had em-
bodied in the resolution, the thoughts best calculated to bring
about the results desired by the association.

Chairman Sperry expressed himself as in sympathy with
the resolution, but he did not approve of paying excessive
salaries.

The Secretary did not approve of the enactment of such a
bill, believing that it would be a decidedly unpleasant thing
for the officers to seek information that would tend to pros-
ecute violators, and for that reason it would be a difficult
matter to find suitable men to accepf the position.

Mr. Payne replied that the salary was little as an attract-
ion compared to the hearty approval of the sportsmen of the
state, that an officer would receive by the acceptance of the
office, and the application of proper attention.

Mr. Robinson moved that the matter be referred to a com-
mittee of five to embody the ideas therein in a bill to be pre-
sented to the incoming Legislature, and also to be reported
at the next annual meeting of the associatiou. The motion
was carried.

Treasurer Kuowles through Major Kellogg made his an-
nual report, showing a balance of cash on haDd of $44.95.

Mr. Robinson anil the secretary called the attention of the
members to tbe fact that the Fish Commissioners are await-
ing the action of the association on their recommendation
for the proper stocking of streams and the distribution of
game birds throughout the State, there being $2000 available
for that purpose. It was decided to recommend that the
commission furnish and turn out a supply of wild turkeys,
Eastern prairie chickens and Eastern quail. The subject of
introducing Chinese pheasants and the Copper pheasant of
Japan, was talked of at length, but the general impression
was that the former were detrimental to the existence of Cali-
fornia's pride, the quail. They are so prevalent in Oregon
that they are anxious to rid themselves of the pest. They
were made a special subject for individual inquiry as to their
habits, etc.

The secretary urged that all personB having suitable locali-
ties in which to care lor imported birds mase known their
wishes to the eecretary of the association, who would com-
municate tbem to the Fish Commissioners and probably se-
cure what they asked for.

Mr. Payne offered a resolution providing that hereafter at
all meetings of the association only members Bhall participate
and all matches shall be shot under the Association rules, ex-
cept that for the Selby trophy, which shall be shot for under
the American Shooting Association rules. Adopted.

On the motion of Mr. TJnger, of Los Angeles, a vote of
thanks was tendered Dr. J. J. Miller, A. W. Ingalsbe, F. E.
Coykendall, G, Anderson, Joe Delmas and J. H. Faull, the
committee of arrangements of the Garden City Gun Club, for
generous entertainment, to the local presB for full and able
reports of the tournament and to the Lick House for the use
of its parlors.

Mr. Close, of Portland, Or., Mr. Bringham, of Tacoma and
Mr. Evans, of Portland, spoke in favor of a union of the as-
sociation with the Sportsmen's Association of the NorthweBt,
which insludes Oregon, Washington, Idaho Jand Montana,
but no formal action was taken.

Mr. Payne pressed the claims of Los Angeles aa a suitable
place for the next meeting, but finally withdrew it in favor
of Sacramento, which then received a unanimous vote, the
association deciding to meet there on the second Thursday of
Oct., 1890.

Wm. Taaffe, Mountain View; J. M. Morrison, L. J. Nicho-
las, VV. J. King, J. Ruhstaller, Adam Damm, Chas. E. Mack
Jr., Sacramento; H. T. Hopper, Traver, Chas. Reams, Vaca-
ville; T. A. Bringham of Tacoma ahd the Colton Gun Club,
were elected to membership in tbe association.

Dr. Britton, H. A. Bassford and Mr. Osborn were appoint-
ed a committee on Nomination of Officers and presented the
following names, and they were unanimously elected:

President, H. T. Payne of Los Angeles; vice-president, A.
B. Sperry of Stockton; secretary, H. H. Briges, 313 Bush St.,
S. F.; treasurer, Dr. S- E. Knowles of San Francisco; direc-
tors, F. E. Coykendall of San Jose, Charles J. Haas of Stock-
ton. A, W. Bruner of Colton, H. A, Bassford of Vacaville, J.
M. Morrison of Sacramento.

The association then passed complimentary votes abont
the San Jose Mercury and the San Jose Times*, both of which
journals had published full and accurate reports of the daily
proceedings. Adjournment was then had.
banquet.
On Saturday evening the association was invited to a ban-
quet at the Lamolle House, and about 9 o'clock forty men sat
down around a beautifully decorated and heavily laden table.
President Payne took the head of tbe table, and was nomi-
nally supported by vice-President A. B. Sperry on the right
and the Secretary on the left. Thetwo gentlemen mentioned
and Dr. O. F. Britton were cordial in their efforts to help
things along, but somehow they did not seem to be very
effective. Mr. Sperry spoke seven or eight times in response
to a toast whioh was not announced. Tbe Secretary was
equally verboBe, and Dr. Britton was thoroughly appreciative
of all that was said by his confreres.

A letter from Hon. S. W. Boring, Major of San Jose, was
read, extending welcome and expressing regrets that he could
not be preseut. Then Mr. Sperry made a speech. A season
of rest followed, broken by Mr. Sperry, wbo fairly corrus-
cated if tbe enjoyment of Dr. Britton was not feigned. The
Secretary made three or four remarks, but it was not until
President Payne, after gracefully thanking the entertainers
for the courtesies extended, called out that brilliant young
exponent of WeBtern journalism, Mr. C. M. Shortridge of the
Mercury, that anything like method began to be perceptible.
In introducing Mr. Shortridge, Mr. Payne said:

"It affords me," said he, "great gratification to note how
from year to year the interest in sporting matters increases in
the State, and how our Association growH in Btrei . num-
bers and influence. We have had many fine I
lions places, but none equal to tbis. Tin- Btl< a

Obituary.

It is with extreme regret that we have to announce
the death of "W. J. Lyle, editor of the Kentucky Stock
Farm, which occurred at his home, Danville, Ky., on
the 4th of this month. The deceased was a bright, in.
telligent writer, and from his indefatigable efforts, has
made hisjournal one of the best iu the country. He is
thus spoken of by one of the editors of his own State:

"Mr. Lyle was an excellent citizen in every sense of
the word. Upon those with whom he had business he
made a lasting, good impression. Among those with
whom he was on terms of intimacy ho was beloved. He
was gentle in manners and kindly in disposition; zealous
in the discharge of his duty and faithful to every trust.
Few better men have ever blessed the community with
the warmth of their sunny family, and leaves a vacant
place in the business community not easily filled."

Ban Francisco, Saturday, Oct. 19, 1889.

The citizens of San Francisco have failed to support
the efforts put forth by the Directors of the Pacific Coast
Trotting Horse Breeders' Association for their pleasure
and amusement. A splendid programme was arranged,
but the attendance was very slim, the populace not seem-
ing to care whether first-class racing was given or not.
There must be something radically wrong with the San
Francisco public, for there were not as many persons
present on the opening day as might be seen at any or-
dinary country fair. Too much credit cannot be given
the officers of the society, for they have worked faithful-
ly and earnestly to make the affair a success. In addi.
tion to their other troubles, rain set in on Thursday
morning and continued almost without stopping until
the time we go to press. A meeting of the Board was
held on Thursday evening to determine what action
should be taken, and it was resolved to postpone the
meeting until the first good day and track.

Dates Claimed.

Paoific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Association — Octo-
ber 12th, 16th and 19th.

Lob Angeles Agricultural Association — Oct. 21st to 26th.

The Speed Driveway.

On Wednesday evening a large and influential com-
mittee met at the offices of the Breeder and Sports-
man to perfect arrangements for a grand matinee to be
given for the purpose of raising funds to complete the
Speed Driveway. The gentlemen present were Ariel
Lathrop, H. J. Agnew, B. T. Carroll, D. S. Quinton, C.
W. Smith, Capt- N. T. Smith, L. U. Shippee, C. S. Crit-
tenden, F- H, Coombs, Wilfred Page, J. H. White, Col-
li. I. Thornton, L. E. Clawson and J. H: Neal represent-
ing the Pleasanton Stock Farm. The meeting opened with
the selection of Col. Thornton as chairman and Wilfred
Page as secretary. After considerable discussion, it was
deemed advisable to offer a first-class programme to con-
sist of three races ,one for the free-for-all pacers, Adonis
Tolo Maid and Gold Leaf. Babe Junio, Emma Tem-
ple, Franklin, Balkan, Alfred G., Mary Lou, Bay Bose
and Thapsin were named as horses that would make a
good race, Hazel Wilkes, Lord Byron and Direct were
also named for the third race*

An executive committee with full power to act in the
premises were selected, the gentlemen being A. B. Speck-
ies, E. T. Carroll, C. S. Crittenden, W. S. Hobart, C. W.
Smith, P. A. Finigan and M. F. Tamey.

The committee is one of the best that has ever under-
taken like work and the names are an assurance that the
gathering will be a grand one. Mr. Lathrop said that he
would take $250, worth of tickets, and it was stated that
J. B. Dickey would take a hundred tickets and H. Sch-
wartz fifty. The concensus of opinion was that the affair
would be a grand success, Now that a committee has
been appointed to raise the necessary funds to finish the
Driveway, it would not be out of order for them also to
demand from the old committee a full and complete ac-
counting of the moneys already expended. Thirty-two
thousand dollars and over has already been expended
and the work is not yet compete. An investigation may
possibly show where the money went, and by whom it
was fritted away. Thero has been a useless expendi-
ture of private funds in this matter and those who con-
tributed so liberally are entitled to a thorough explana-
tion. It is to be hoped that the new committee will be
able to hand over the necessary amount of funds to
complete the road as it is a necessity in a large city like
San Francisco.

Dams.
"How is he bred," is a question often asked, and in
nineteen times out of twenty it is the breeding
of the dam that the information is asked about.
The intelligent breeder now wants strong lines on the
lower side of a pedigree and the dam is the great subject
of inquiry. For the information of our readers we give
the following table, arranged in a hurried manner, and
subject, without doubt, to many corrections. Of the
number looked up the dams of eight winners were by
George Wilkes, Dictator follows close with six, Belmont
and Mambrino Patchen are next in order, with five each,
Daniel Lambert, Hambletonian and Almont each have
four, American Clay, Whipple's Hambletonian, Wood-
ford Mambrino, Alexander's Norman and Happy Medium
three each; Abdullah Mambrino, Harold, Pilot Jr., Clark
Chief, Pacing Abdallah, Brown Chief and Blue Bull got
the dams of two each.

The Four-Year-Olds.

There is always a falling off in the payments of a stake
race when some particular horse has developed a great
deal of speed, and it requires a lot of nerve to continue
making payments when it is almost a foregone conclu-
sion that one is liable to be shut out in the race. Al-
though there were a number of entries in the four year
old stake, only three full payments were made, Direct
and Hazel Wilkes having frightened out the others with
the exceplion of Balkan, a horse that has had epizootic
for about two years. The Bmallness of the field detract-
ed somewhat from the interest, and yet the race was a
grand one from a sportsman's standpoint. The winner
Direct, has been campaigned throughout the circuit, and
has made a name for himself second to no horse of his
age iu the country. In the last three races for which he
has started Direct has won them all in straight heats,
and seven of the nine heats have been trotted in less than
2:20, and the last five heats have all been trotted in ex-
actly the same notch, 2: 19£. This is a marvellous show-
ing for a horse of his age, and still his competitors are
justly entitled to a great deal of credit, Hazel Wilkes lap-
ping him out in almost every heat, and in the last one
she was only beaten by a head, showing that she must
have travelled her miles fully as fast as Direct, as she
was on the outside all the way. Hazel Wilkes is a filly
that any one may feel proud of owning, and Mr. Corbitt
is fortunate in the possession of such a speedy daughter
of Guy Wilkes, The last of the four year olds to start a'
the Breeders' Meeting was Balkan, by Mambrino Wilkes
dam Fanny Fern, who has been afflicted with sickness
off and on for about two years. The youngster showed
so much improvement twenty-four hours before the day
set for the race that Mr. Ay res determined to start him,
and although he only received the third money he showed
a remarkably good heat in the third, as he only finished
about five lengths behind the winner, and he finished as
fresh as either of the others. His time, taken separately
in the last heat, was 2:22}. A circumstance worthy of
remembrance is the fact that in the three heats not a
break was made by any of the horses, each acting with
level heads and pure trotting gait from beginning r0
end. It was a good race and heartily appreciated by all
who saw it.

Goodwin's Turf Guide.

No. 10 of this valuable reference book of the turf is to
hand and as usual is brimful of reliable information to
followers of the turf. It has over 500 pages of closely
printed matter, containing all the performances on the
American running tracks since Jan. 1st, and arranged in
such a convenient form that any detail required can be
had at a glance. Turf terms and phrases are there ex.
plained in full, the scale of riding weights, jockey's
mounts, fastest time both for the year and on record a
list of horses whose names have been changed, and in
fact a complete education of the American turf may be
had for 75 cents. This is a great book, and every horse-
man should have one, which may be had through any
bookseller or direct from Goodwin Bros., 241 Broadway,
New York, on receipt of price.

The B. & Y. Hoof Oil.

The value of the B. & T. Hoof Oil as a oure for all
ofBcratcheB, sores, cuts, wounds; bruises, corns, thrush
foot rot, quarter crack, sand crack, dry, hard, brittle or fe^
vered hoofs, and the thousands of other local ailments of
horses is attested by hundreds of testimonials from well-
known horsemen and veterinary surgeons. The peculiar
quality of this oil is that it keeps the hoofs sound and in per-
fect condition, and, by those who have used it, is considered
an indispensable article in every well-regulated stable It is

The pedigree of the above mentioned horse has been a
mystery for many yearB, and as his name appears in the
catalogue of many California breeding farms, a great
deal of time has been spent in trying to clear it up. It
remained for Dr. Latham to solve the puzzle, and he has
obtained the following certificate:

In 1847 I bought a thoroughbred mare, named Chealan
from Joe Campbell, of Eussellville, Ky. Chealan was sired
by Woodpecker, and at the time I bought her was five years
old. In 1848 I bred her to the thoroughbred horse Veto
owned by Corvet & Blevins, of Cass County, Mo. This
horse Veto had been bought by Corvet & Blevins in Battels
Lick, Ky. In 1849 Ohealon ioaled a sorrel filly. In 1853 I
brought this filly to California; I named her Veto after her
sire. In 1854 I Bold this Veto mare to Mr. Thale Potter.
From Mr. Potter's hands she passed to the ownership of Mr.
Sam Miller. She was brert to Williamson's Belmont, and
she foaled a colt known as Tyree's Veto.

COBRESPONDENCE.

A Complaint Prom the Owner of Topsey.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Dear Sir, Much has
been Baid about myself and my black mare Topsey in differ-
ent papers all over the State Now allow me to btate the facts
in detail. On the 23d day of August I entered my mare Top-
sey in the 2:30 race, to be trotted over the San Luis Obispo
Agricultural Association track on Sept. 28tb, 1SS9. I sent
my entrance money to the Secretary of the Association, and
it so appears this was all they wanted, as I believe, Gabriel's
trumpet could not have gotten a word out of them, for I
wrote and wrote to the Secretary, asking him if the races had
filled, also, if the race had not tilled, to please return my en-
trance money. But not a word came Irom that gentleman
for three weeks. Then he wrote me that he had no power to
retarn any money, as the Vice-President instructeu him to
return no money except by order of the Board of Directors,
and also stated that the Vice-President, Mr. L. M. Warden,
would be at the Santa Maria fair and woulJ arrange matters
to my entire satisfaction. Now, just why the Honorable
Vice-President did not arrange matters to my entire satisfac-
tion is hard to tell. It may be on account of my black mare
Topsey beating and, in fact, shutting out Miss Monroe, a
San Luis Obispo mare that has been very fast in the paperd
all summer; in fact, the papers hud her trotting very fast,
and the owuer told me that she had trotted in 2:20, end could
trot easy in 2:22. Well, this mare was shut out in 2:32 by
Topsey, on a very heavy and sandy track. This was the
starting point of my troable, and it had a bad effect on the
Vice-President, for he told me if I wanted my money back 1
would have to come to San Luis Obispo and trot for it. On
the 23d of Sept. I shipped my mare Topsey to San Luis
Obispo to trot for the purse they were holding my entrance
money for. I Btayed there all the week, and on Friday even-
ing, Sept. 27th. 1889, they offered Pat McCartney and myself
$150 to trot in the free-for-all race the next day. We refused
to trot for the purse they offered, and therefore decided to
publish a poster to Bhow why we would not trot Flora G and
Topsey, as it was generally understood and expected that
they would trot on that day. The following is a copy of the
poster.

To The Public: — We the undersigned being desirous of
rot having the public misled by any rumor or publication,
Btate as follows:

Flora G. and Tcpsy will not trot to-day for reason that the
directors of che San Luis Obispo Fair Association offered a
$400 purse for Free-for-all trotting, and we brought our
horses here to trot for said purte, but Baid Directors say that
they will give only $150 purse for said race, and we, tbe
owner cf Flora G. and Topsy, refuse to trot our horses for
that amount. Geo. C. Smith,

Pat McCartxey.

This made the Directors indignant, and after the fair was
over they went to work to see how much damage they could
do me. They knew that I wanted to give my mare a record
and sell her or make a valuable brood mare of her, by giving
her a good record, for there ib no doubt but what she could
have trotted iu 2:23. as I have trotted her here over a very
sandy track in 2:26.

On S«pt. 30th, a.cer the fair was over, they ruled me and
my mare TVps> off for six months just long enough to keep
me from trotting at Santa Barbara a id Los Angeles, at whioh
places my mare was entered. Reiuember tney did not rule
Pat McCartney or his mare Flora G. off, and he, Pat Mc-
Cartney, was a party in tbe poster as much as I was. This
shows spite work on the part of the«ociety, and they surely
had no jurisdiction over me or my mare Topsy as she was
not in any race after they declared all races of; also, if I
had committed any offense (which I did not), it was in the
town of San Luis Obispo and not on the race course, which
is some two miles from San Luis Obispo. I claim that there
is no rale to justify them in ruling me or my mare off, and I
further claim that the Directors have no right in the judges'
stand nor have they the power to rule any one off. The Direc-
tors acted as judges at San LuiB Obispo, and one or the other
of them had a horse in a race almost every day.

On Friday, September 27th, wherein Prince B took a part,
one of the Directors also had a horse in the same race, ana
he was in the judges' Btand during the progress of said race.
Prioce B acted badly in the two first heats, and would have
been shut out if they bad had a distance flag (the fair was
run without a distance flag). So the owner (Mr. A. Phillips)
came to me and wanted me to drive his horse, which I did.
After scoriog up even two or three times, they got Prince B
at a disadvantage of about a length. They were tapped off,
which caused the crowd to hiss the Directors, and the Direct-
or who had a horse in the race was standing by the side of
another director who started the horses, but for all that
Prince B won in three Btraight heats. This may be the cause
of myself aod my mare Topsy being ruled off.

Hoping that I have not taken tou niu.h of your time and
space in your valuable paper, I am yours truly,

Geo. C. Smith.

Santa Maria, Cal., Oc>. 9th, 1889.

The Chicago Stable.

A report has been extensively printed within tbe paBt
week or bo to the effect that the horses in the Cuioago Stable
were to be sold at auction in Kentucky this fall, and chat the
proprietor would retire from the turf, but the statement has
no foundation in fact. A representative of the Horseman
called on Mr. Hankins, the proprietor of this well-known
stable, and in reply to an inquiry he said that he had seen
tbe paragraph in the papers, and that it was the first imita-
tion he had received of any intention or desire to sell his
horses. "I shall race next year, " he said, "but shall drop
the name of Chicago Stable, and run my horses in my own
name, George V. Hankins, retaining the same colors I have
used from the start. I shall confine my racing operations en-
tirely to the Wesi, not sending any horses East. Instead of
selling my horses I shall add quite a number to the younger
division of my stable when I find the kind 1 want. Mr. John-
son will not train another year, as his health is not good and
his extensive private interests demand hiB attention. How-
ever, I have about concluded arrangements with an excellent
man for the position, Tom Kiley will in all probability be
head jockey for the stable, and the light weights have been
selected, but none of them have sigued as yet. My horses
will be shipped from the East to Lexington, Ky., where they
will remain until about the middle of January, when they
will be taken to Memphis and shaped up for the spring meet
ing there, after which the stable will come along up the line."
We are glad to be able to Dublish tbe above, for the Western
turf, and in fact the turf of the country, can ill atfjrd to lose
a stable containing Buch cracks as Terra Cotta, Jacobin, Lit-
tle Mincb, Wheeler T., Egmont, Huntrets, Santalene,
Kaloolah and Beveral gilt-edge youngsters to be added. —

American Stables.

These stables of American country houses have grown to
be models of luxury, and are quite as gorgeous and conspic-
uous as the dwelling houses themselves, with as much ar-
chitectural pains bestowed upon them. As Americans be-
come more devoted to out-door life and sports the stable
daily takes a larger place in their interest and affections,
One of the most complete stables in this county is Bet up in
Genesee county, and more nearly resemble those of some
great English country house in a hunting shire than any-
thing knjwn to our methods of life. The Wal worths, to
whom these stables belong, own some sixteen thousand acres
of the Genesee valley, exactly the same tract of laud that was
granted to them two hundred years ago by the King of Eng-
land, when it was only sixteen thousand acres of impenetra-
ble wilderness. Not a foot of it has been sold or exchanged
hands, but has passed from father to son through all changes
of government. Iu the center of this they have a superb
dwelling nearly a century old, and very little changed by
modern influences except that it has been gradually enlarged
from generation to generation, and modern conveniences add-
ed as they are needed, but the colonial architecture and fur-
nishing of the house remain unchanged. The stables, of
course, are entirely modern, and are very large, wilh rjom
for some thirty borseB, for not only are they needed for use
in coach, dog cart, drag and pony carriage, but for mounts
for the family and tneir guests in the hunting season.

This place is really the only genuine hunt anywhere about
New York. Tbe Walworths, being ardtnt sportsmen, have
carefully preserved their covers, and have in every lease of
land retained the right to hunt across it. Some half a dozen
of the best New York's cross-country riderB passed through
here recently, to the Walworths'. For the last two weeks in
September and the first two or three weekB in October, tbe
place is always as full as it can hold of hunting guests who
get sport as good as any in the best grass country in England.
Two of these New Yorkers carried their own hunters with
them, for their horses and grooms are made quite as welcome
as themselves, and tbe next month will see a series of fox
Lunts and steeple chases where those who have not their own
horsas may ride a mount from the long list of thorouchbredo
in the stalls of this great stable. Strange to say, very few
people know about this very uncommon survival of colonial
days lying amid the fluctuating social life of our .Republic,
and the newspapers have never given it any notoriety outside
of tbe set of riding people who are fortunate enough to be
asked there for autumn hunting. The Walworths are, as
might be si pposed, people of great wealth and refinement,
but live the greater part of their lives on their own domain,
and are rarely seen in New York, except for a month or two
of the opera season in winter. — Brooklyn Eagle.

The Proper Care of a Colt.

I notice in your issue of the 3d inst. a long article from the
pen of some would-be horseman who, it seems, does not give
his name, but instead thereof thinks it necessary to sign him-
aelf "So-We-Go, which transposed or turned around is
simply OgewoB, meaning in the language of one of the Indian
tribes, bad horde. This man or woman is not without some
abdity, and' judging from his writings, his knowledge has
been picked up from the say so or talk of horsemen rather
than irom any experience of his own.

The care and culture of the two-year-old of course is all
important, but it would seem necessary to first have the
yearling to start on. In operative masonery it is hardly
practicable when building a chimney to begin at the top or
midway and work down; the more prudent mechanic would
begin at the bottom and bnild up. To be fair in this case we
will assume that "Bad Horse" has some kind of a yearling
when he starts in, but he only assumes to give instructions
for the well bred.

Let us njw consider the yearling, I will, however, only
trouble yon with a short article, as I do not believe in long,
tedious, dull correspondence, or editorials. The period of
gestation is very important, and we must consider the case
from np to down, to Keep the order started by "So-We-Go."
We will, however, start with the suckling at the day of its
birth, and presume that it is of giod parentage, both Bire and
dam, that it is sound and able to stand and walk within fif-
teen minutes after it breathes. At the age of a week moat
farmers come to work the dam and let the suckling follow
around as best be can, and at the age of four months, the
colt then being considered of sufficient age to wean, and the
dam has performed a good summer's work; worked juBt aB
hard as her gtlding mate or mare with no colt. This method
is entirely wrong. The heated blood, tiresome labor of both
mare and colt, is really killing both.

The mare and colt during the first four, five or six moothB
should be kept in good pasture where there is plenty of good
water and Bhade. While it may be practicable to wean the
colt at four months, we certainly prefer six, and now comes
the most important period of the entire five years of the
colt's growth, and if starved or stunted the first winter it
never fully recovers not only the size, but the whole form of
the animal is injured never to be regained.

Tbe colt should be fed on plenty of good clean hay, plenty
of water at all times, and we would give half and half of
ground oats and wheat bran twice a day, about two quarts
at a mess; we give this dry, but if scaldtd and then cooled
it will be better. A well-to-do farmer told me once, this
would be too much; I think be waB right for the first week
or two, but certainly not for the cold winter days, nor the
spring either. I asked him what damage it would do; his
answer was too rapid a growth. He had previously told me
that he would treat a colt just as he would a boy. I asked
him if he ever knew too big a growth of boy, but to this
there was no answer. The colt Bhonld have a good warm
place to protect himself from cold weather and storms, a bed
of dry straw or sawdust to sleep upon, or to lie down at
pleasure; he must not be confined to the stable, but have a
yard, or, better still, an open field to run in; in no case
should he be allowed to stand on a hard floor.

Be sure to watch him close that hedoes not get lousy. He
may be handled by baiter breaking, leading behind the cut-
ter, or by tbe Bide of another with pleasure. These points
attendea to, I will warrant a satisfactory result, jt'he time
spent in attending a single colt is so much greater in propor-
tion than would be the case of two, three or four that it is al-
ways economy to have at least two, and as many more up to
six as the case may be.

We have made this calculation upon the spring colt in the
latitude of lower Michigan, northern Illinois Wisconsin and
Iowa, etc. Further south of course this first wintering
would be changed somewhat.

The practice of driving and speedibg yearlings is one of the
errors of latebt and should be condemned by all horsemen. —
John Bragman, in Dunton's Spirit.

Time: Suppressed and Otherwise.

It would be next to impoasible to intelligently breed either
the trotting or running horse without the help of tbe stop-
watch, and it is a great pity that this all important imple-
ment can be made to lie — that is, that the timing judges
somelimeB do so. There are a large number of motives to
make the watch go either slow or fast. The one that is the
most often played, is that game that some ringers play that
go through the free-for-all and fast class races on our half-
mile tracks, particularly at onr County Fairs. Here the
officials make a bargain with the drivers, that their horses
shall not be made uneligible to say the 2:30 class, and so the
time is hung out 2.-29£, 2:29}, 2:30, when the trottiDg was
done in 2:26 or 2:27. And the bad part of it is, that really
honest, reputable men, that would scorn to suppress time or
sell out in a race, are sitting right over in the grand stand,
and have their watches out in every heat, and know what
time is beiog made, but still do not expose these thieves.
Bad name, is it not, but just, for the next race the winner
of this one starts in he will perhaps have an honest horse
and driver, taking only second place while if the ringer
were not in, first money would be his, so you see this is clear
robbery, and should be classed with pulling the favorite, or
any other horse; keeping a horse in second pi -ice until some
important entries close, so that yon can have second money
now, and start in a slow class next month, and various other
such trickeries.

Another reason for a variation of the time is to secure r<gV*
truLion by going in tbe 2:30 list. Here the time ismude to be
faster, instead of slower than it really is. I know of an in-
stance of this, where a horse that could only speed a quarter
at about a 2:37 gait was given a "record" below 2:30 on a half-
mile ring, and then was reported as having trotted a match on
one of our Grand Circuit tracks. This made her sire and a
few other horses standard, and registered. I hope to get the
full proofs iu regard to this fraud soon.

Another case of the wtitch's erratic movements bas come
upon the field of action this year, when certain trotting and
racing associations bung out purses of five hundred or a
thousand dollars for horses to beat certain time, and in two
caee^, if the papers are to be believed, they falsified the time
by a fourth of a Becoud, and so saved their money.

If all reports are true.Oliver.K. trotted in 2:15 and a fraction
when his record of 2:16] was given him. If that is so, it was
good retribution that he should go lame the next year, and bo
miss the ohance of winning in a class one second lower than
where he belonged.

If all It 'lies t men would disclose on these instance of time
being suppressed or compressed the horse world would be
much better. — L. C. Baker, in the Horse World.

George Van Gorden, manager of Senator HtarBt's Piedras
Blancas Rancho in Sun LniB Obispo bas made arrangements
with A. McDowell, the well known Pleasanton driver to han-
dle a four year old son of Director, dam by Echo, granaam
by Elmo; tbe colt has been worked at intervals on the ratch
but is inclined to pace. Neit season Andy should bave a
good colt for he has all Director's characteristic pi
color, being a dark (dappled) brown.

larger, the number of contestants greater, the quality of
shooting finer, and the enterlainment given the members
more extensive than ever before. The management of the
Garden City Gan Clab has indeed been unequalled, and 1
take great satisfaction in expressing to that club on beball ot
the Association oor cordial thanks for their carefnl manage-
ment of the meeting and cordial entertainment. lo give
something of general emphasis to appreciation of that kind-
ness. I propose that we drink the health of the Garden City
Go n Club, and that we stand as we drink it."

The toast was drank with enthusiasm. Dr. Miller was
called on to respond, but asked Mr. Shortridge to speak for
him. Mr. Shortridge in doing so sai^:—

"I feel highly tbe honor of speaking for the Garden City
Gan Clab to the State Sportsman's Association. We have
been proud to have the Association visit us, and all that we
have done in the way of entertainment has been an attempt
to show how folly we appreciate the honor and the pleasure
of having yon among ns. There is something ennobling in
sport. It stimulates the more generous instincts of the heart,
and develops a true manhood. Show me a true sportsman,
and I will show you a man to whom I am willing to give my
friendship and confidence unhesitatingly. I was never more
in earnest than when I Bpeak of friendship, and it is with
sincerity that I pledge to you a cordial and heart felt friendli-
ness wherever and whenever we may meet hereafter. Let us
stand together for that sport where luck and skill go hand in
hand, and let us as a body endeavor to raise the standard of
sport in this Golden State of ours, until the laws in regard to
game and sportsmanship shall be an honor to our gloriouB
Commonwealth."

The toast. "The Garden City," was responded to by the
referee who had acted through the meeting. After speaking
in high terms of San Jose, he spoke of the consideration
which had been shown him by the members of the association
daring the three days' contests. "This kindness and cour-
tesy," said he, "has been very gratifying to me. My position
was a trying one. I was called upon to supervise and over-
look men, some of whom, with the double-barrel shot-gun,
are the peers of any in the world, and many of whom are
intimately acquainted with all the rules of trap shooting even
to the most involved points. That kindness has given me
much to be thankful for, and I assure you that I deeply and
folly appreciate it. This has been the greatest meeting our
association has ever had, and we will all po away with many
pleasant memories of our stay in the Garden City." He
closed by complimenting the management of the Garden City
Club on tho establishment of the team trophy match which
he said was a proef of geniuB and practical common sense on
the part of the management. The team matches, he said,
will surely result in good to the association, and through it
to BportBmen generally throughont the State.

Tne Pacific Club of Sacramento was toasted, and a response
made by Mr. Coons of that city. Mr. Evans responded to
"The Sportsmen of tbe Northwest;" Mr. Coykendall to the
"Game and Fish of California;' Mr. Sperry to "Stockton,
the Birthplace of the Association;" C. M. Shortridge and A.
Hoehner to the "Press of California."

The health of the Garden City Club was then drank once
more, and three rousing cheers given for the members, after
which the company dispersed.

VII.

Eeaohing Kernville at 4 p. m. July 31st, a requisition was
made, si it is said by one who seems to know much, and the
sum of 25 cents was expended with wise economy, when the
party passed through the town, fording the river a little above
it, and sojourned for tbe night at the ranch of Joseph CyruB,
accepting the kindly proffers of his hoBpitaliiy. Here are
tine orchards, extensive fields of alfalfa, and for the choicest
gems of the place, some splendid and well-born stallions.
Sub-Deacon Daggett and the host shivered many a kindly
lance over the merits of their respective equines, and the
word was passed that ere too many moons, on other courses,
their pets Bhould try each others' metal.

Soon the long shadows of the lofty mountains came creep-
ing over, rosy tints gave place to purple, gently the darkness
of the night enwrapped ibe earth and the pilgrims in the
sweet regions of Dreamland, reBted and gathered streneth
for the travail of the coming day. Before them was the steep-
est ascent of the pilgrimage, not unsurmountable nor undur-
able. but a tedious monotony, constantly up and up and up.
for twelve weary miles. No trials to call out lofty manhood:
nothing to test tbe nerve and inflame the courage, thereby
speeding the way; bat only patient plodding with quiok
drawn breath and shortening step, until, the Hill Difficulty
overcome, the glories, tbe beauties and the promise of the
heights stand fully onveiled. Glimpses now backward now
forward, with the winding of tbe trail, truly were granted, of
such moontain grander as hardly can be described. But the
way was rugged, the ascent steep and the eyes as with him of
the muck rake were bent to the task and saw not the beauty
of the hills.

Perhaps half way toward the summit, in an exceedingly
ragged country, are located what were once known as the
Harley group of mines. How tte discoverer ever wandered
bu far away aod so high will never be known. Yet it seems
aa though the prospector from the places of his discovering
has an overmastering desire to wander into the most difficult
places.

The prospector, bad luck to his eneniUs, never has received
his due reward on earth. It is a mighty task to which he
girds himself; to follow Nature into her fastnesses and there
single handed and alone, to wrest from her treasury its golden
stores. It requires high courage to become a solitary by day
and night for month after month. Without the faculty of
place, a man is soon lost; but never the prospector. Wood-
craft, snn wisdom, shadow hints, star teachings, the lesson
of mo9ses, the sermons of twigs anrt stones— all these he
uses. He is a mighty Nimrod and lofty at cooking beanB.
Then to fiud his vein of ore requires the utmost patience and
tbe most thorough inspection.

At the foot of a mountain he finds a bit of "float"; that is
some little or large piece which by the eating of time has
broken from tbe vein and rolled downward, none know how
far. If satisfied with it, and here judgment has sway, op the
mount be climbs, espying every rood with laborious patience
until he finds more of tbe same family. And so on until he
finds no more. Sometimes the vein sticks out of the ground,

more often it is covered with the dirt, the leaves and debris

his quest is found bis judgment bids him leave it and hunt
further for something better. And so season in end season
out he toils unseen of men, aging by time, weakening by en-
deavor, rarely ever on this earth finding the foot of the rain-
bow, until at length he dies, leaving funds in the bank of
Hope yet undrawn. He is a kindly soul, generally an orig-
inal thinker, with exceeding contrary notions and deserves

At the Cyrus ranch, packing the loads and riding on horse-
back, became tbe necessities of the future. Here the Chap-
lain and the Sub-Deacon, who had hitherto been riding in
chaises befitting their cloth, took their first lessons in the
mysteries of ' y in g irregular objects fast to moveable bases
and themselves became horsemen. To pack and fairly start,
required until 10 a. m. Then pressing forward without
lunch and no delays, except to replace and resinch slipping
packs, first passing through a bare and open country and
then amid timber, the twelve mile climb with 4500 feet _ as-
cent was made in six hours and at 4 p. m., altitude 7150
feet, Sumner Meadows were reached and camp 'Done-
climbed-np" was made.

The "Cultue" Bear.

Among the bears the great brown or cinnamon bear, called
by the Indiana of the Northwest the "Coitus" bear, is per-
haps the ugliest customer to handle.

He is as bad a customer as the grizzly, and his temper is
sometimes even worse, though perhaps he is not so hard to
kill.

In the city of Seattle lives a man who has probably killed as
many bears as any man now in the "West. Born on the fron-
tier, he wa& reared as a honter and backwoodsman, and be-
fore the age when most boys are through with school he was
an expert with the gun and rifle. He was so accustomed to
wild beasts that he had learned to have no fear of them, and
to rely on his own prowess and bis trusty rifle. Well armed
he would not hesitate to attack, single handed and alone, any
animal which roamed forest, mountain or prairie. In his lat-
ter years he has become a keen sportsman, and a writer of
renown over the nom de plume of "Silalicom." The following
is a tale of his boyhood's home. His father, the old pioneer,
finding the country in Illinois becoming settled fast, gathered
together his household goods and with his family started for
the far Northwest. Here in the fertile, smiling valley of the
Sumass River, near the border of British Columbia, he built
his new abode. Here the boy continued to follow the deer
aod hunt bears, panthers and wolves during tbe winter
months. One evening in June, as the sun was declining, he
c«ne from the field, and picking his way through the black-
ened logs in the edge of the timber, started to bring home the
cows whose bells could be heard jingling musically among
the dark vistas of the virgin forest. As he reached tbe edge
of the clearing the father shouted from the cabin door: "Hold
on, Will! I want a deer," at the same time coming out with
tbe shotgun in his hand. The gun was a light Parker, hardly
seven pounds in weight. "All right " said Will, turning and
starting back to meet his father. "What is she loaded with?"

"Double B's," said the old man.

Will took the gun, and stole carefully along the trail scan-
ning every opening where the deer might be expected. Sud-
denly he heard a noise in the thicket, at a tarn in the trail,
as of some animal advancing through the bush. Stepping
behind a trea, he stood with gun ready waiting for the. game
to break cover.

Then the bushes parted, and out came a great brown bear
followed by two little ambling cubs. Will raised his gun; as
the Bight showed against the long hair of the neck, the stream
of fire flashed forth, and down went the bear struggling and
yelling in the trail. As the boy Btarted forward to finish
her, the high swilal bushes and young firs at his Bide, par-
ted before an awful uprising maBS of brown which, in a sec-
ond, towered above his head, and before the brave boy could
spring aside, a great he bear standing on his hind legs, and
seeming ten feet high, stood over him with horrid growl and
open mouth, his great paws raised for the crushing death
blow. Quick as lightning, "Will^threw up the muzzle of bis
gun, and tired right under the bear's obin; the great mass
toppled over backward, and fell with a crash, bearing down
the bushes and saplings in its fall.

Tbe boy thought this bear done, for be began punching
him in the stomach with the muzzle of his gun. In a sec-
ond the bear recovered, and with that lightning rapidity of
movement, which seems impossible in so heavy looking an
animal, gained his feet, and the boy felt that his hour had
come.

Instinctively be held his gun up with both hands at arms'
length to ward off the blow, but the great paws came down
like a falling tree; the gun, with broken stock, flew through
the treeB thirty feet away, and the boy, half stunned with
the blow, rolled almost under a great log at the side of the
trail. He felt the weight of the bear preBBing the breath out
of his body; its hot blood gushing on his face, and with all
hiB young strength he straggled to get under the log and
away from the monster. As the bear raised a little to get at
him, he scrambled and planged under, and around the end
of the log jast as the great beast reached him with its paw,
and the claws clutched his collar. "I don't know how it
happened," said Will, "but I broke away somehow, leaving
my clothes with him, and I never stopped or looked back
till I got home. When I got there I had hardly anything on
me but my collar and one boot." His father had gone away
taking the hounds with him. Will got some clothes, took
down his repeating rifle, and, taking the two shepherd dogs,
started out to kill his bear, followed by hiB brave sister, who
would not see him go out alone to hunt the monster. Tbe
dogs frisked and frolicked about thinking they were oat af-
ter grouse, hunting through the crap-apple thickets and
among the bush along the creek bottom. Coming to the
scene of the straggle, Will soon gave them an idea of the
game which was afoot, and tbey took up the bloody trail.

All the bears bad disappeared in the forsst, Bhowing that
the shot bad not been instantly fatal even at close range.

The experienced dogs followed closely on the trail, and
tbe boy worked along after them as well as he could, over
fallen logs among the gathering shadows of the great trees.
Suddenly there was a chorus of yells, then two howls of mor-
tal agony, and all was still. With cocked rifle and hoshed
breuto. Will crept on, every sense on the alert, and soon,
amid the darkness of a dense thicket of sapling pines, he saw
the two dogs stretched out dead. As daakness was ooming
on fast, be yielded to the entreaties of his sister, and they
both returned to tbe cabin Baddened and heavy hearted.
Many a day the gentle girl mourned the loss of her favorites.
Will, however, was bound to kill that bear or find his car-
case. Bright and early the next morning, he started out to

find an Indian hunter who was a great man on the trail.
The "Si wash" who was fond of the young hunter, at once a-
greed to come.

Long and patiently he trailed the bear until at hist he said
pointing to a thicket "Coitus bear in there." Will crept
cautiously in until in the shadow of the thicket. Then his
eyeB shaded from the stronger light soon became accustomed
to tbe dim shade, and he saw quite near him the brown hair
showing well up over a great fallen tree. The rifle sprang to
his shoulder, his keen eye flashed over the sights and report
after report followed until the smoke obscured his vision.
Backing out of the thicket he waited. All was still. The
two Blowly worked their way in and there, lying across the
log,, was the body of the bear cold and stiff.

The double B shot from the gun had done its work, and
the bear had bled to death the night before. In the excite-
ment of the moment he had shot too far to the left catting
away a part of the neck on one side. The bear had been on
the t>oy so suddenly there had not been time to raise the
gun and take aim.

Some days later a neighbor chopping in the woods, beard a
wailing cry from a thicket; as he approached the spot a little
bruin cub ran out and played about him like a dog. Taking
tbe little creature up he carried it home. Then he got his
rifle and, after some trouble, he came on the old she bear
which had died from the effect of the other charge from the
little fian. E. H. Foebubh.

San Joaquin Shooting Club.

The latest addition to the number of fine shooting clubs of
California is the San Joaquin Shooting Club, of which the
officers are, Pres'dent, Capt. Henry Kenitzer; Vice-President,
C. T. Sanders, Treasurer, Thomas H. Day, Secretary, Jas. M.
Streeten, and Chief of Commissary, J. G. Leibert. The mem-
bers are Henry Kenitzer, John G. Leibert, C. T. Sanders,
Howard Black, Thomas E. Day, O. E Brady, F. C. Zimmer-
man, R. Tiernan, Achille Boos, Jas. M. Streeten, Henry F.
Emeric, Henry F. Wagner.

The membership includes some of the best shots and most
consistent sportsmen of the Slate. The club has rebuilt the
ark Alameda originally constructed by William Ryan. The
new boat is a comfortable, perfec'ly appointed and even
elegant shooting house The club owns in addition a thirty-
five foot steam launch of latest design, the engine being one
of the Naphtha sort. The launch has been thoroughly tested
on the bay, and has proved effective. The name of the
launch 1b "Reagan's Sneezer," and if there ie anything in a
name, she will have the benefit of a twister.

While waiting to begin the trial trip, some gamine stood on
the dock commenting on the new craft; .Said one, "What
steamer 's that?" Another who knew the builder's name and
the peculiarity of the Naphtha engine, said, "That's Reagan's
Sneezer." The name will stick-
On Saturday last the club boarded tbe launch, and taking
the ark in tow, proceeded in state to the shooting ground,
which will be used for the present about Elk Sloogh, on the
San Joaquin River. The trip was much enjoyed, and the
land owners received the clab cordially, giving permission to
shoot when and where the members pleased. Few docks
were found on Bouldin Island, but feed is abundant and
prospects good for a lively season. Tbe club is thoroughly
fitted out, and will skim the cream from the sport along the
river for many seasons to come.

Pacific Union Club Match.

The members of the Pacific Union Club, many of them, are
expert in all the exercises usually characteristic of gentlemen,
and the clab contains the best anglers and shots in the State.
A contingent of members fond of trap shooting visited San
Bruno last week and spent a day at the traps. The birds
were quick, with a strong favoring wind and the fact that
almost all of the participants made high scores argues great
expertneps with the gun.

The first match was between Fish Commissioner J. Downey
Harvey and Mr. J. il. Adams, the wager being a banqaet at
the rooms of the club. The wager was won by Mr. Adams,
with a score of 17 to 15 out of a possible 25.

The second match was between Mr. Charles Josselyn and
Mr. C. E. Worden for a stake of $100, and resulted in a tie
of IS to IS, but was finally determined in favor of the latter
by a single shot.

In the third match. Mr. George Crocker tied sixteen pointB
with Mr. Frederick Webster but upon a second pair won the
wager.

Before the arrival of tbe evening train, tbe shooting was
suspended, and after another round of refreshments, the
club left for tbe city. The following gentlemen participated
in the day'B amusement: C. E. Worden, Edgar Prestorj/J. M.
Adamp, Frederick "Webster, Bany Woodward, Daniel Gil-
lette, D. T. Murphy, A. C. Tubbs, Harry Veuve, R. B.
Woodward, J. M. Qaay, who scored the matches, and J. B.
Wattles, who acted as judge.

The story about a bear-killing exploit in which our esteem-
ed contributor "Silalicum" was the hero, is graphically told
by Professor E. H. Forbusb, President of the Natural History
Society of Worcester, Mass. Professor Forbush has spent
many years infield work, his collecting tours having carried
him over pretty much the whole continent.

There was some misunderstanding about the reduced fare
certificates used in connection with tbe recent meeting of the
State Sportsman's Association, and all who failed to secure
the reduced fare are requested to Bend their certificates to the
Secretary at 313 BuBh street, San Francisco. He will endeav-
or to straighten the tangle. All certificates should be stamped
by the home ticket agents at places where the tickets for San
Jose were purchased.

The Association reports fill so much space this week as to
shut out almost everything else. The scores made by the
representative men who gathered at San Jose may be studied
with profit. Never before in the State have so many dead
shots met. The interest in the meeting extended as far as
Tacoma and Portland, and the Northern men are to be con-
gratulated upon the 6ne shooting and general likeableness of
their representatives, Messrs. Briogham, Close and EvaDS.
The meeting next year at Sacramento will be a big one, and
year by year the tournaments will increase until th*y num-
ber as many shooters as any in the country. It is to be. hoped
that members will not lose sight of the duties resting upon
them aside from trap Bhooting. Game and fish protection are
vastly more important than the trap work.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arpdippua.

SUMMARY,

The exhibition at the Mission Skating Rink on Monday
evening for the benefit of the Pacific Athletic Club was a big
success.

The professional bicycle men are in good condition for the
tournament which opens at the Mechanics Pavilion to-mor-
row afternoom.

The out-door athletes are training hard for Thanksgiving
Day, and the oarsmen are anxiously waiting for a final deci-
sion io regard to the proposed regatta.

BTJNNEKS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

Dave Egan of the C. A. C. says that he will not compete in
the November games. He haB grown very fleshy of late, bat
he asserts that he will be in fine condition for the spring out-
door meeting.

A large crowd of amateurs were at the Bay District Track
on Sunday morniDg. Williams of the O. A. C. and a well-
known local professional rnnner ran several impromptu
sprint races, and the Olympic amateur, who has improved
very much in the last few months, downed his man every
time.

Young O'Kane was also noticed amongst the crowd, and if
he keeps op practice until Thanksgiving Day he will need
but a very small handicap.

Captain George W. Jordan of the O. A. C. is closely watch-
ing the boys, as he is fully determined to frame handicaps
that will leave no room for growling.

The University track recently received a coat of cinders
and is now io good shape for practicing on. A large number
of the U. A. C. athletes run on it morning and evening.

If Peter McGlade of the Law School enters the mile walk,
Clift will be forced to break the college record.

The twenty-second anooal fall games of the New York

All the athletf s are invited to attend the croBS country run
of the Olympic Athletic Clob which will take place at Mill-
brae to-morrow.

T. P. Cooneff, the amalear five-mile champion of America,
and Sid Thomas, the amateor ten-mile champion of England,
will ran a five-mile match race at the Manhattan Athletic
Club Grooods, New York City, on Nov. 5th.

Joe Hesketh, the light weight champion boxer of the
Pacific Athletic Clob, will enter the O. A. C. boxing tourna-
ment, and one of the prizes will no doubt fall to him.

The G. G. A. C. is without a good out-door athlete to place
in the field on Nov. 28th.

It is rumored that William Soto and Capt. Phil. Moody
will soon ran a 190-yard race. Moody is willing to give
William Soto three yards start, but Soto wishes five yards.
Th= Pacific Athletic Club deeire9 to see both gentlemen settle
this small difficulty. Who shall carry the target?

THE WH3E1MEX.

H. M. Lichtenstein and three other wheelmen rode down
to San Jose on Saturday last. They report the roads in
splendid order.

Charley Fonda keepB in constant practice so that if any-
thing turns up he will not have to go in off the reel.

To-morrow the great seven-days race will begin at the Pa-
vilion. The races are certain to attract a large crowd of
people. It is almost a forgone conclusion that several world
records will be lowered. The ladies appear to be deeply in-
terested in the female riders and will no doubt be largely re-
presented at the Pavilion during the tournament.

AT THE OARS.

The bay was unusually rough on Sonday and only a few
of the crewB took their customary practice spins.

Only one crew left the Ariel Boat House: George Phelan,
stroke; H. Pless and C. Pleas, waiBt; Edward Finley, bow.
H O. Farrell bad the crew io^cbarge.

W. H. Growney the single scalier of tbe Ariels has order-
ed a boat from Roddick, with all the latest improvements.

When the boat is ready Mr. Growney will commence practice
and when in condition he will challenge all the local soullers
to row for the championship of Mission Day.

. The vicinity of Tiburon is an excellent location for a boat-
house and some of the oarsmen should make an effort to es-
tablish a good rowing clab over there.

Engene Flanders of the Ariels is confident that he can de-
feat any of the Whitehall sculle-is, and is anxious to row some
of the local men.

Ed. Finley, the rising young scalier of the Ariel Clob per-
formed a rather hazardous and difficult task on Sunday
morning. The small boat of the club drifted away from the
float and was on its way out to the bay wheo Finley happeo-
ed to perceive its fast receding form. He immediately divest-
ed himself of his clothing and plunged into the rather rough
and choppy water. The boat was folly a quarter of a mile
away from the float when he first perceived it, bat after a
bard swim the daring yoong oarsman managed to reach it.
Owing to the strong wind and rough water, the job of bring-
ing the boat back to shore was a \ery hard one, but after a
hard battle Finley, who is an expert swimmer, succeeded in
landing it at the float.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The amateur members of the California Athletic Club will
not be allowed to enter the boxing tournament of the O. A.
C. The O. A. C. is not to be blamed for its action in the
matter. It is simply a case of paying the C. A. C. back in its
own coin. Two of the most promising young amateors the
C. A. C. ever had in its ranks were expelled from the club for
competing in games held under the anspices of tbe P. C. A.
A. A. This is no doubt one of the reasons why the P. C. A.
A. A. has been so stringent in the application of its rules.

The following notice has been posted up in the club rooms
of the C. A. C. :

Any member of the California Amateur Athletic Club en-
tering an athletic tournament under .the designation of "on-
attached" or as belonging to any other athletic club than the
California Amatear Athletic, will be expelled from the Cali-
fornia Athletic Clob. Philo Jacoet, President,
Otto Fbeund, Secretary.
The amateor braoch of the Golden Gate Athletic Clob ap-
pears to be on tbe waoe. The clob evidently does not care
whether it has any amateur out-door men or not.

Commencing November 14, 1889, tbe Olympic Athletic Club
will hold a grand Amatear Boxiog Toaroament at the rooms
of the Olympic Club, in the Alcazar Boilding, 120 O'Farrell
Street, San Francisco, Cal. The toornament will be open to
all bona fide amateurs. Representatives of the clnba compos-
ing the Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic Association mast be
duly accredited by the secretaries thereof. All other entrieB
shall be deemed "uoattached." Unattached applications
most bear satisfactory endorsement. The entries will be
divided into six classes, as follows:

Bantam not exceeding 1 15 lbs.

Feather " " 125 lbs.

Light " " 135 lbs.

Welter " " 145 lbs.

Heavy, any weight.
Each bout will be four rounds, for points.
Trophies to the value of one thousand dollars will be dis-
tributed among the first and second men in each class. The
toornament will be held onder the Olympic Athletic Clob

PACIFIC CLUE ATHLETES— THEIR BENEFIT- EXHIBITION A BIG
SUCCESS.

About fifteen hundred people gathered in the ili-sion
Skating Rink last Saturday evening to witness the benefit
exhibition of the Pacific Athletic Club. Many ladies were
noticed among the aodience The exhibition netted the clnb
about $250, which sum will be laid out for new paraphernalia
for the gymnasium- A fine brass band played popular selec-
tions daring tbe evening. There were no programmes issued
and the reporters found much difficulty in ascertaining the
name of the performers. President, C. Giry opened the pro-
ceedings by making a brief but neac speech in which he
stated the purpose of the exhibition. In conclosion he ex-
pressed a hope that the Pacific Athletic Clob would yet be-
come the Artisan's Olympic Clnb.

The first three events on the programme consisted [of box-
ing exhibitions by very clever amateurs.

The next event was tumbling by eight amateur members of
the club. Their names were Kehoe, Mack, Barry, Sieve,
Behlow, Russell O'Dell and Ridley.

Professor Schwartz and his pupil Mr. Ritcher, next gave an
exhibition of Graeco-Roman wrestling. The pnpil won the
first fall and the Professor the second one.

The horizontal bar act by Messrs Kenney,^(clown) Behlow
and Steve, was very good and called forth mo eh applaose.

F. Hemme, a yoong amateor member of the clob, gave an
excellent exhibition of slack wire walking.

Several exhibitions of boxing were given dnring the eve-
ning, the best one being by Joe Ohoyneky and Fred Woods.
The former merely played with the latter, who by the way is
jn leed a very clever amateur middle weight.

A fosr-round contest between Joe Hasketh and Ed Morris-
sey, wound up the evening's fan. Some per ions circulated
a report to the effect that a "knock out" would be the chief
event of the evening, bat the report proved to be incorrect.

AQUATICS.

Last Sooday was the 25tb anniversary of the Pioneer Row-
ing Club; nearly all the active members put in an appearance,
and either took a row or stood around extolling tha powers
"of we fellers" a quarter of a century ago. Judging from the
accounts related, they must really have scorched the Long
Bridge Coarse in these times when they '"hit her up to forty
sis." They had no open faced fly Jhack split second timers in
those days to record their mighty flights of speed or we might
now hold tbe record for all distances, but, said Capt. Ban-
nan, "I tell you what it is boys, us big four, Ned Nelson,
Mike Long another man and myself rowed out of sight in
three minates when we were training for the Denny Brothers
of Sacramento; yes, sir, three minutes myself and three other
men. "

Messrs. Sullivan, Long, Grouney, Heenan, Griffin, Steven-
son and Brown were out in their singles last Sunday and
during the week. There is some talk of a single scull race
Thanksgiving, and all of the above mentioned will probably
participate.

There is considerable talk of a championship barge race be-
ing rowed the 3rd of November, but the indications are that
it will not amount to much. No crew can jump into a boat,
take a few rows and then expeet to make any kind of a race,
and it is a fact nevertheless that there is do crew on our hnv
which has sat in a boat together half a dozen times since Joly
4th.

Edward Uanlan, ex-champion of the world, is writ-
ing a book, giving his experiences as a scalier, cover-
ing a period of fonrteen years of races be has rowed and men
he has met on the water, the title is "Roaming in a Shell in
three Countries."

Tbos. E. Flynn has resumed rowing, and is looking for a
bargain in a shell. Anyone having a good new and Bound
$150 boat can dispose of it to Sir Tom for at least $40 spot
cash, or $50 at ninety days.

Pete Mo Donald says that his last official act as President
of the Pacific Rowing Association will be to adjourn that
worthy body "Shin die". All right Peter' though the Heav-
ens fall do as you think best, no one cares, only don't dis-
turbe its comatose state and Dominus Vobiscum.

Henry Peterson says he wants just one more cbaoce at
O'Conner over the Alameda Course, and thinks he can re-
deem himself.

Fast California Colta.

The trotting two year olds that have appsared in the Cali-

fornia circoit this year are a better average lot than came out
last season, thongh no one among them holds the supremacy
over the other that Sunol held in 1888, says Hark Comstook
in the New York Spirit. On the question of speed I have not
yet seen one that has as much foot aB Mr. George Valensin's
black filly Fleet, by Sidney, out of Flight, by Bucoaneer,
thoagh she has not yet won a competing race, and several of
the others have beaten her. Her mile at Napa in 2:24 I did
not see, but am told that she did it without skip or break. I
believe it is faster than has yet been made by any other two
year old as early in the season. Col. Strader, of Kentucky,
spoke of it as a very saperior performance. Her fault has
heretofore been that she has been very unsteady in company,
and when excited by it has shown a willul temper and a dis-
position to kick. In this respect she 1b entirely unlibe the
Sidneys as a family. To humor her waywardness she has
taken most of ber work alone, and consequently while she
has learned to go very fast miles by herself she has not been
taught the duties of a race mare. Consequently the owner
drew her out of the race in which she was to have started
against Pedlar and Lorena at Santa Rosa, and decided to
work her solely for a record breaker against time, but at Pec-
aluma James Duitin was asked to get up behind her, and he
worked her out two separate miles, both better than 2:27,
in which she showed so much more steadiness that her
owner. reconsidered his plan. Dustin then took charge of her
and commenced to work her in company. Ber progress was
sufficiently encouraging to decide them to start her in the
two year old trot at Sacramento against Lorena, Pedlar and
llegal Wilkes. She won the first heat in 2:28$, was third in
the Beeoud heat in 2:30 J, and was distanced in the third in
2:31^, having tired so badly that many pronounced ber the
softest yet of all the Sidneys. But there are facts back of the
case that put a more favorable light upon the performance.
Dustin knew that he would have difficulty in getting her to
go steadily in company nnless he got ber thoroughly tired
before the race began. It is said that in the forenoon he gave
her a mile in 2:29, and that shortly before the race he drove
her two miles out in 5:10, which was probably quite as tiring
as two separate miles in 2:30 with a race between.

While this work "steadied" her it was a pretty stiff dose to
give a two-year-old on the eve of a race, and as the mile in
which she was dismissed was really the sixth fast one she had
trotted that dav, it is not so muoh to be wondered that she
tired almost to a standstill at the three-quarter pole. Bus-
tin acknowledged his mistake, but said that he was misled as
to her condition and the kind of work she had been given
before she came into his hands, which waa designed rather
to sharpen her speed than to stay her np in endurance. I
did not see her race, but have several timea seen her at work.
Four days after her race I caught her the middle half of a
mile with a runner at her side in 1:10*. The mile aa a whole
was not fast — 2:30£— a break in the first quarter and a hin-
drance on the track in the last quarter having retarded her.
She was started at Stockton a mile and repeat against time,
aB her owner was confident Bhe could do two heats at a rate
that would remove any impression that may have arisen
from her race that she is faint-hearted. She did the first
mile in 2:25 and the repeat in 2:24$, the latter an official rec-
ord.

There has always been among running horses, and always
will be among trottera, some strains that are gifted with an
unusual amount of speed, that tire quicker than some other
strains that cannot reaoh the same flights of speed, but when
crossed rightly these very speedy strains are of inestimable
value in breeding. That they need bracing up with stouter
blood is true, but usually they possess an innate power that
acts as a lubricator in the combination of Btonter blood, to
reproduce a pure friotionless action. It is not so many years
ago that the Clay blood was in disgrace for being soft, and
waB belittled with the nickname of" "sawdust." Yet in such
stallions as Geoige WilkeB, Electioneer, Victor von Bismarck,
Dauntless, The Moor, etc , it had so potent an influence in
lubricating the action of other crosses, that the most intelli-
gent breeders of to-day accord the Clay blood an estimate of
highest value

That the Sidneys are subject in a measure to criticism up-
on their gameneas I am not prepared to dispute, hut I do not
believe in shutang our eyes to the great value that may be
derived from the immense speed that goes with the blood.
Adonis, the bay four-year-old pacer, who drove Yolo Maid
out three beats in 2:12*, 2:141 and 2:151. at Sacramento, is by
Siduey, out of a daughter of Captain Webster, Bon of thor-
oughbred Belmont, and is a very game horse. He has not
the turn of speed possessed by either Yolo Maid or Gold
Leaf, but he can come nearer doing three heats at his best
mark than any pacer I have seen, and, if I mistake not, is
one that will train on as he matures. He is an instance go-
ing to show that if crossed on hard bottomed Jines, like
Belmont in running or Mambrino Patchen in trotting lines
there need be no feara that the Sidneys will fail to stay out
their races. No stallion is adapted to all croBBes. If I own-
ed Palo Alto I would like to try the experiment of breeding
him upon some Sidney fillies, and if I owned Sidney I
would surely try to get bold of Borne thoroughbred marea of
the same character as those with which Governor Stanford
has been so successful, and in addition to that I wouid get
if possible, as many typical granddaughters of Mambrino
Patchen as I could (it being no longer practicable to get his
daughters), the Mambrino Patchen cross having aasimilated
much thorouehbred qualiiy through the dam of Lady Thorn
which is a wonderful broodmare element. The Mambrino
PatcheuB themselves were not overspeedy as a family, and
lacked something of pliability in their aotion. But whenever
a good lubricating cross strikes the line out jumps a high-
ciaaB trotter. There are many sons of Mambrino Patchen
whose daughters must prove of great value as broodmares
but among them all I confess I have not seen any that seem'-
ed to hold the type of the family more closely than the get of
Msmbnno King, which possesses all the broodlibe conforma-
tion, and even more quality and finish than the get of the old
horse. Then, too, they are coming to the front on the track-
his progeny are dtnd game and promise to surpasBin trotting
capacity the get of the old horse. For these aud many rea-
sons, as it becomes i.ecesaary to adopt a new generation I
would have great faith in the progeny of Mambrioo King 'to
continue the sph-n.iid influence inaugurated by his aire and
to cross with Sidney, Electioneer, Wilton, Bell Boy Stam-
boul, all of the Wilkes and other great naturul speed Hivers
P pular aa the blood of Mambrino Patchen is, I think few
people folly realize its immense value as a capacity giver to
other strains. It pOBBesses fo muoh of the thoroughbred or-
t aniBm converted to trotting habits that it ii doing for the
resent generation of trottera much auch a work of refine-
as was effected at an early Btage by the blood of ^eely's
ican Star. But I am diverging and will try to illustrate

;nent

A ooeric

this in a future letter

Perhaps the next in speed of the two year old6 that have
appeared on the circuit is Pedlar, bay colt by Electioneer out
of Penelope, by Mohawk Chief; 2nd dam thoroughbred Plan-
etia, by Planet; 3rd dam La Henderson, by Lexington; 4th
dam Kitty Clark, by imp. Glencoe, etc. Pedlar showed a
trial of 2:26 before going out on the circuit, but has been quite
uncertain in his races. He occasionally trots a heat very
steadily, and then unaccountably acts badly in the next. He
made his first start at Santa Rosa, where he was strooc favor-
ite in the belting, but continually broke, and was defeated in
the slow time of 2:38 and 2:33 by the steady-going and relia
ble Lorena. At Petaluma he started against her again, and
though he had far the most speed, he broke so that she easily
beat nim the first heat in 2:30. After this, however, he got on
his good behavior and won the two succeeding heats in 2:27£
and 2:35± without a break. At Sacramento he made his third
start against Lorena, .Regal WilkeB and Fleet. I did not see
the race, but by report he led the field steadily and handily in
the first beat until past the half-mile pole, when he broke and
made such bad work of it that all passed him and he was dis-
tanced. He does not appear to be a bad tempered horBe, but
in this case is said to have refused to take the bit after break-
ing, like a horse whose mouth has been hurt. I think he is
the making of a great horse. He is very handsomely turned,
of good size and good length, powerfully knit, with capital
legs and feet, and as clear-winded a colt as can be found. His
action is bold, strong and clear. He is said to have worked a
mile better than 2:25 at Oakland.

Regal Wilkes, the big bay sou of Guy Wilkes, is also a very
fast two-year-old. H I recollect rightly, his dam is by Sul-
tan; second dam by The Moor. He was most of the time
favorite in the betting before the two-year-old race at Sacra-
mento, his first start, but got no better than second position
in each heat, Fleet taking the firBt in 2:28£ and Loreua the
second and third in 2:30i and 2:31£. The race did him good,
and a week later at Stookton he had a walkover for the two-
year-old stake, in which he announced an attempt to beat
2:30. He succeeded in winning in 2:26£, which is, I believe,
the fastest record for a California two-year-old this season,
excepting Fleet's. He is owned by Mr. Wm. Corbitt, and it
is said that for age and handling waa considered last Spring
as promising as anything yet raised at San Mateo. He was
not in the trotting string in the early part of the campaign,
and being somewhat short of work, tired a little at the finish
of his mile in 2-:26l ■ He is mnch larger than the typical
fast-trotting two-year olds, and needs age to give strength to
his growlhy proportions. Lorena is a large, rangy brown
filly by Jim Mnlvenna, 2:27$, son of Nutwood, dam Elmo-
rena by Elmo; second dam by Cassius M. Clay; third dam by
Harris' Hambletonian. She was bred and is owned by Capt.
Ben Harris, of San Francisco, and is the test "money" two-
year-old of the lot, for although she has not yet shown as
much speed as either of the others, what she has you can rely
on. At Napa she lost to Del Mar, son of Electioneer, in 2:34
and 2:30. The following week, at Santa Rosa, she beat Ped-
lar in 2:38 and 2:33$. Still a week later he beat her in faster
time, after she had taken the first heat in 2:30, and nearly the
measure of her speed as far as one can judge from her races.
A week later at Oakland she won the first heat in 2:30}, lost
the second to MiBta, by Alcazar, in 2-.31, taking the third and
race in 2:31. At Sacramento she lost the first heat in 2:28} to
Fleet, winning the second and third, respectively in 2:30i and
2:31i, thus winning three races out of five Btarts, whereas
none of her opponents have won more than a Bingle race. In
her last race she defeated Fleet, Pedlar and Regal Wilkes.
Lorena is a big-gaited, Bteady-going mare, with very true,
even action, entirely devoid of those roagh-gaited features
that so often characterize the descendants of Nutwood.

Mista, bay filly, by Alcazar was not entered in the regular
two-year-old stakes, but her owner, Mr. L. J. Rose, Bent
her to the circuit and succeeded in getting on Borne races
for her with the winner of different etakee. After Del Mar
won his 6rst race at Napa where he got a record of 2:30, Bhe
met him atPetalamatwo weeks later, and downed him in2:34£
aud 2:29. After Lorena won the stake at Petaluma, Mr. Rose
got a race with her at Oakland, but though he captured the
second heat in 2:31, the more steady Lorena got away with
the race.

There are many other good two-year-oils that have been
held back, some of which may appear in the later circuit,
when a general lowering of records is looted for by those al-
ready described. Among the dark ones are Borne thought to
be quite as good as those that have Bhown publicly.

Palo Alto's performance at Stockton, when he won in
straight order in 2:16}, 2:17|, 2:13|; average time, 2:16, was
not an unlooked for event, as my former letter foreshadowed.
I did not see the race, but Mr. M. Salisbury, owner of Direct
and Margaret S., as well as several others who were present,
say that had the track been tit near the pole, he would with
the same effort have gone a second faster in the final heat. It
had been harrowed deep for the runners near the inside,
obliging him to keep well out from the pole all the way
around to get fast footing. That he will, barring mishaps,
cut his record down still faster before the seatou closes, very
few doubt who have watched his progress. Sunol has gone
back to Palo Alto, as she is homesick and does not thrive
whiletravelliog. It is understood that she will be prepared
for a fast mile later in the season. How faBt, I will not under-
take to say, as I do not want to make the readers of The
Spirit dizzy. It seems almost ridicnlouB to say it, but those
who ought to kuow say with a perfectly sober face that when
she is Sunol there 1b no part of a mile in whioh she cannot
take the lead from Palo Alto. Whether it will ever come out
publicly or not remains to be seen. He has been a very cer-
tain and reliable horse throughout his turf career. She has
been quite the contrary as to condition, but is apparently
thoroughly Bound. Yours,

Hare Comstock.

Axtell's New Owners.

A telegram from Chicago quotes Col. J. W. Conley aa say-
ing: '*I am proud of my purchase, and if the horse lives it is
only a matter of a few years when he will earn in stud feei
and purses what I paid for him. His record of 2:12 Thurs-
day at Terre Haute is four seconds better than the fastest
made by horses a year older, and Bhows Axtell to be without
a peer among young horses. I have already booked thirteen
mares to him for the next season at $1,000 each, and can
easily get all the others I want. Axtell will be shipped to-
day from Terre Haute to Lexington, where he will remain
until cold weather, and then will probably be taken to Cali-
fornia. With the advantage of the coast climate, Axtell will,
in my opinion, be ready next summer to lower the record of
2:08| made by Maud S. " My horse will be entered and started
in races next season, and where there is money enough
hung up to make an inducement— that is, after the early part
of the season, when he will be in the stud."

Col. Conley, the man who bought Axtell, is an Ohioan by
birth, and has been a resident of Chicago twelve years. He
has been interested in trotters for a quarter of a century. He

is now owner of JohnBton, the fastest pacer in the world*

record 2 :06£.
Axtell has been taken to Lexington, Ky., from whence

he will be returned to Terre Haute and placed in Badd

Doble's care. The colt will be sent to California with Mr.

Doble's string this fall, and will winter at Los Angeles.

Early in the spring he will be returned to Terre Haute, where

he will stand during the season of 1890.
Col. Conley iB quoted by the Associated Press from Chicago

as being the sole purchaser of Axtell. This is a mistake.

There are four owners, as at first announced, and they each

have shares of $26,250 in the horse, or $105,000 altogether.

Col. Conley is one of the owners, aud Mr. Ijams of Terre

Haute and Messrs. Brush and Moran of Detroit the others.

A Swimming Horse.

Though not exactly a Bporting item, all lovers of the horse
will be interested in the account of the following feat of a
horse at Glenelg on Saturday week. Early in the afternoon
a stray horse on the sands was observed to make his way into
the water and deliberately Bwim out to sea. People on the
jetty watching the event expected him to proceed perhaps a
hundred yards or bo and then return, but the hundred yards
grew into a quarter, aDd the quarter swelled to the half, and
still the horse kept on his seaward course. People natural-
ly wondered how far out thiB latest long-distance swimmer
would proceed, but on he went nnlil his body wbs but a
Bpeukou the horiz m, and he was fully three miles from
phore. 'J hen he turned around and leisurely returned to-
wards land, and struck iu the direction of the entrance of the
Paiawulmga creek. When quite close to land some boyB
frightened him, and he coolly turned to the left and swam
down the coast for fully another mile, eventually landing
midway between Henley Beach and Glenelg, after being for
fully three hours in the water. Dozens of people watched
the ocourence, which was the subject of no end of wonder

BASE BALL.

CJarke has torn down all the idols set np by San Francis-
co fans, and established himself in their place. The young
star haB bean given three trials and has proven himself a
ball player in every sense of the word. Last Sunday's game
tvbb enough to tear the heart out of a veteran twirler vet
never once did 'Dad" lose spirit. His support was about
the vilest ever given a boxman, but the ex-Omahan kept ud
his deceptive delivery thiough all the muffs, fumbles passed
balls and sky-rocket throws that characterized the work of
the home team, and in the last two innings he let out an ex-
tra link or two and won the game, desDite the efforts of his
comrades to give it away. Clarke not only showed himself
to be a great pitcher, bnt be also fields Lis position superblv
is a darling base winner and is quite handy with the stick

Robm-on has distinguished himself in a new role— that of
the baby act. Last Sunday he entered a formal protest with
the California League Directors against the playing of Clarke
with the San FranciBcos, claiming it was in direct violation
of the rules of the League to sign en Eastern player after An-
gus! 15th. The rules tay that no player Bhall be Bigned after
that date without the consent of at least three of the Direct-
ors, and this consent Finn had when he signed Clarke The
Colonel evidently forgot all about that rule when he signed
Wehole and StallingB, as they were secured after that date
and none of the managtrs were asked to give their consent'
Bobmson sees the pennant slipping out of his grasp and h«
is squealing but it will do him no good.

A word to President Mone! In the Eastern leagues the
umpires are kept apart from the players as much as possible.
They are strictly prohlbite i from borrowing any money or ac-
cepting presents from any player, and, when practicable, are
obliged to travel on separate trains and to board' at Hotels
other than the ones occupied by players. This is done for
the purpose of preventing any jobs being put upbetween the
umpires and players, and to insure perfectly fair and imc-ar-
tial umpiring. In view of this fact, Mr. Mone, it does not
seem to be just the proper thing for the California League
umpires to associate daily and nightly with the players at a
favorite resort on O'Farrell street. Friendships are bound to
be formed, and animosities will spring np that are bound to
haTe ™°ra °I,Iess influence in rendering decisions on the
ball held. The actions of the umpires at all times should be
as strictly under control as those of the players- tney are
paid good salaries and during the championship season thev
should not be permitted to associate with the players at the
card and billiard tables whenever they desire.

Goodenough and Ling are having a pretty race for base-
running honors. The latter is slightly in the lead, bnt he
has the advantage of having participated in more games than
the Sacramentan. Speaking of base running Tom Brown
and Jimmy Fogarty, both California boys, had the same
number of stolen bases to their credit in the National League
season just closed. Brown will probably receive the sold
watch that was offered to the best base runner, as he did not
play as many games as the Philadelphian. Brown's daring
baBe running has won a number of games for the Bostons
thisseason.

Jerry Hurley can have anything he wants in Stockton.
His back-stop work is a revelation to the Slough City fans
Clarke says that with such a catcher he thinks he could win
every game the 'Frisco'B are soheduled to play.

Pete Sweeney Bays he will never attempt to play third base
again. It is a wise resolution, and one that he ought to relig-
iously keep. He will not retire from the game, however but
villi bmsh the season on first base for the local team Charity
Sweeney going to second and Hanlev to third This last
change is a poor one for Hanley. alth'ongh covering second
base with great success ,la noahle to throw across the diamond
with any degree of acouracy. Finn should pnt Charlie
Sweeney on the left corner and keep Hanley where he is

Harry Howard is one of the most brilliant intielders 'ever
seen on a Cali.ornia diamond. Quick as lightning in his
movements, accurate in his fielding and throwing, Ind ever
on the alert to back up a play. It seems a pity that he should
be kept in the outheld. Harris would Boon find a vast differ-
ence in the work of his team if Howard was brought into
second base and Creamer placed in the right garden

George Van Hal tren and wife will arrive from Chicago in
a few days Van will probably be seen on the local diamond
n the exhibition games at the close of the regular season, be-
tween the Bostons and the California Clubs

Two of the California clubs will start for "f nrrin Darts"
about the middle of January to be gone about wo months.
Manager Hams will take the Stookton Club to Honolulu
where a aeries of games will be played with the Hawaiian
League, consisting of five clubs, arrangements for which
have already been perfected. Colonel Robinson and theOak
lands will leave for Cuba via the Southern route, playing ex-
hibition games at Los Angeles, Arizona, New ' Mexfco and

trins onVw ?W Mn9 aDd '«h? citieB of the Gnlf States. Both
trips ought to prove successful financially, for Jthe California
League and players are as well known aj'any in the county!

Ol Great Interest.

The snbjoined com cm moat urn to the Board of Fish Com-
missioners indicates both a high degree of public spirit on
the part of Mr. Loud, and also the widespread interest whioh
the activity of the Fish Commission of California is arous
ing. Mr. Load's opinions are entitled to credence, and we
urge other sportsmen to send us their views, in order that
out of the knowledge of many a wise selection of birds to be
imported may be made. Mr. Loud'e communication is as
follows:

Coevallis, Oregon, October 1, 1889.
To the Honorable Board of Fish Commissioners, State of
California.
Dear Sirs and Gentlemen: — There seems to be quite a dif-
ference of opinion as regards the kind of game birds that
should be planted in California. Being an old resident of
your State, and soon to be again, I feel Bomewhat interested
in this matter, and having spent several months in Oregon, a
greater part in the field, I have made it a study to note the
iiabits of the Mongolian pheasant. After getting all the infor-
mation I Gould from the farmers and the local sportsmen in
andaronnd the valley, I feel satisfied in saying they would not
be a bird that would suit the people or the sportsmen, being
unfit for food after matured. They compare with the sage
hen when grown, being too tough for table use; also very
destructive to crops, especially the vineyards and gardens.

The interest 1 have to see a good game bird planted in Cal-
ifornia has caused me to write the few letters that have been
published in the Breeder and Sportsman and to recom-
mend the bob white quail and the prairie chickens, being
both fine game birds for the table at any age, being hardy
and good breeders and feeding greatly upon wild seeds, I feel
satisfied that these birds can be found along the Hue of the
Santa Fe Railroad, in Indian Territory and the Pan Handle
of Texas.

I spent several months during the past winter hunting in
that section and feel warranted in saying the birds can be easi-
ly obtained there. An agent should be sent from California
to attend to this in person and to prepare a large crop to
keep the birds in as they are colleoted; to visit thu farmers
and show them how to trap and to collect them from the
trappers as many of the farmers are too poor to keep a team.
When ready for transportation, small cases made low, bo the
birds cannot climb over each otkor, should be made four or
five tiers high with bandies on the Bide so they can be hand
led easily, and arranged with water and feed troughs, each
compartment hoiding about fifty birds if "quail" or 250 to a
coop, and about one half as many prairie chickens.

Should your honorable boad not find a person well posted
in this matter in hand, your humble servant will oner his
services, to visit the before named country and collect birdi
and return with them to California: and Bhould you deoide
to introduce the wild turkey, I feel sure they can be secured
in the same location. I will refer you to E. T. ADeu, gun

Deputy Fish Commissioner 1\ P. Callundan, spent last
week in clearing BiiBsian River of Indian fish traps between
TJkiah and Cloverdale.

These traps are made by driving a double line of stakes
acroBB the river and filling the spaces between the stakes
with interlaced willows. At distances along these wicker
dams baskets are attached, Then a quantity of a plant
known as amole or soap root is distributed through the
wicker work. This soap root has a curious effect on the fish
which approach the traps. It appears to stupefy them, and
when they get into the baskets, which are distributed along
the weirs, they are easily captured by the Indians.

Mr. Callundan thinks he destroyed at least fifty within
twenty miles. He found a large camp of Indians on the Rus-
sian River preparing to put in four brush dams, but they
ceased their work when toid that the law forbade structures
of this kind.

On the first of last month a law went into effect which pro-
hibits the placing of sawdust in any stream where its presence
would be injuriaus to fish. As several parties have been con-
victed for violating this law, and as the Commissioners evi-
dently intend to enforce the same, millowners are preparing
to burn this product in the future.

Mr. Callundan reports a wholesale slaughter of game by
illegal means in the northern coast counties. Traps are used
in some localities in large numbers to captu:e quail. As it is
unlawful to capture quail in this manner, It is a common
practice to shoot into a trap filled with captured quail for the
purpose of marking them with shot wounds.

Despite the rough state of the water on Sunday last sever-
al immense catches of rook cod were reported.

Two gentlemen from this city caught three hundred and
fifty at Kershaw Point, the catch weighing two hundred and
two pounds.

Several large catches were made at Angel Island and at
California City.

The smelt did not bite very freely on account of the rough
water.

Several well-known professional boxers rowed over to Al-
catraz and at the setting of the Sun they were on their way
back to the city with four hundred pounds of very large
rock cod.

The 6sb bit unusually well in the vicinty of Goat Ibland.
on account of the strong wind the boats that went over there
early in the morning were compelled to return to Oakland
before noon.

A gentleman who was fishing off the wharf at Santa Cruz
on Sunday last canght a very large skate, which measured
about six feet from tip of nose to tip of tail and weighed
about sixty pounds. The gentleman had just hooked a large
rock cod when the skate swallowed cod and hook. A row
boat had to be procured to land the fish.

Henry Worminerton in London.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — According to promise,
I write you these few lines, hoping to find you
as jolly as ever. I often think of you and do wish
you was here with us, especially when I get in with a lot of
these jolly, red-faced old Englishmen. Most of them are like
yourself in regards to their size and weight, and it is hard
work to get them to take a drink till after business hours.
Then, you bet, they are ready for it. and don't you forget it.
They never think of going to bed till 12 o'clock, and, as you
know, that don't do *ie, as I like to go to bed early and get
up early. They are great people for telling jokes and singing
some good, old-fashioned songs, but they cannot beat yon.
I would give a good deal if I could tell them one qoarter of
what you could. They would laugh themselves to death, I
think. Well, we have just returned from Paris; have seen it
by night and by day. It is a wonderful city London is
grand, but nothing to compare with Paris at this time. I am
glad to get back, as I do think it would kill me to be there
much longer, as there is so much to be seen my poor old eyes
have nearly gone back on me. I don't see however my poor
old stomach has been able to stand it so well, but I do think
the trip is going to do me good. My daughter Alice is get-
ting fat, and I am several pounds heavier than I was the lust
time I saw you. It is very strange, but I can eat meats here
and in California I cannot. I often take a small rump steak
1J inches thick and mutton ohops the same. But crossing
that devilish English Channel made me deathly bad, but not
sick. Alice was very seasick. I would actually rather cross
the Atlantic Ocean than the channel. We had a lovely pas-
sage over, and in fact we bad a nice trip the whole 6,000
miles. I have shown Miss Alice the house Bhe was born in.
She is well pleased with the English people and also with
England much better than she expected she would be. 1
must Bay they all treat us very kindly, and I do assure you
we have invitations enough to go and visit friends and rela-
tives for the next six months. This is the third visit to old
England since I landed in America in 1856, with just one
copper cent in my pocket, aud I do assure you they treat me
better this time than they ever did for this reason. I have
always told them the truth about America and the people,
and I am happy to think I did for Beveral reasons, although
many times 1 was need to think they doubted my word
by their actions; but a great many of the old folks
that were used to want to know so much about America
are living yet and have sons and daughters living
n some parts of America and doing well, and sev-
eral of them have written back to their fathers and
mothers, and told them that what Mr. Henry Wormington
and Mrs. Wormington told them about America was correct,
but I tell you, they do want to know so much that it tires
ma out sometimes.

I assure you the exhibition is grand, and to do it justice it
woold take one month. We took a ride up in the tower. I
have sent you several papers sinie I left; don't know if you
got them or not. I have only had but one thing happen
since I left to make me feel bad, and that was when I first
landed at my father's house to see the two dear old souls
changed so much in the last eighteen years. Mother was
going on crutches, so crippled up from rheumatics; father
was out riding his horse, and very childish for all that he can
sit up straighter in the saddle to-day than I can, but I am
afraid he will come to grief, as these English horses ere so
fast and strong, that if bis saddle should ever turn with him
he will be killed. My mother asked me to talk to him in
regard to it, which I have done, as he might take notice of
what I would say to him. "Bless your soul, Harry, if I had
a good hunter I could do a little more fox hunting yet."
What do yon think of that? Nearly ninety years old, he
always was a good rider and a splendid shot; he has a beau-
tiful horse and carriage, but prefers to go in the saddle all
alone; he told Alice and I it was at our command at any
time. I hope you go to see Mrs. W. sometimes; I often wish
I had her with me to do some of the talking, as Bhe can do
it. Alice iB like myself, not very good at it; I'm a little bash-
ful, but she is improving. I don't suppose you will be able
to make half this out, but read what you can, and burn it.
Please remember me to all inquiring friends if I have any.
London, England, Sept. 20, '89. H. Wormington.

The Dairy.

Ooe of ihe most striking instances of the effect of feed od
product is recorded by the Mark Lane ExpresB as the result
of a recent experiment at one of the English agricultural col-
leges. An Irish cow was selected for the experiment. One
month after calving, she having up to that time received
nothing but pasture grass, she was fed 3} pounds of crashed
oats night and morning, making seven pounds of grain a day,
for two weeks. She made 8 pounds of butter per week. Then
she was given for two weeks 3£ pounds of decorticated cotion
seed cake night and morning. " The yield of butter was the
same, but higher colored and of firmer texture. Then the
ration was made up of li pounds of the cutton seed cake and
Impounds ot thq crashed oats, 3 poundB of which were fed
night and morning. This increased the batter yield to 10
pounds a week, although the feed of grain was one pound less
daily, showing the two foods in combiaation to be much
m re effective than either alone. Then equal parts of decor-
ticated cottonseed cake, crashed oats, wheat bran and palm
nut meil were mixed together and 3 pounds of this comuina-
tion fed to the cow night and morniug. The bu'ter yield at
once came up to 14 pounds a week. This shows the effect of
combiDation and variety. Next there wa^ a return for two
weeks to the 3k pounds of crushed oats night and moruiog —
one pound more a day than of the mixture — when the butter
yield suddenly dropped to 6 pounds a week. A permanent
return was then made to the last named mixture and ration,
when the butter yield went up again to 12 or 13 pounds a
week and remained there "for a considerable time." There
is a hint here worth remembering and acting on. We have
all the foods named but the palm nut meal, and that we sup-
pose we can get as well as the English dairymen who are said
to te adopting the ration. Cannot some of our experiment
stations find a good substitute Lr the palm nut meal, and
form a ration that will include corn meal and be just as eflec-
tive as the one that appeared to operate so magically upjn
the Irish cow? It iB probable that other breedB would be
favorably affected in the same way by such a ration which
seems to flatly contradict the generally accepted idea that the
butter yield cannot be materially increased by feed.

The Boston people — or, rather, milk dealers^appe ir to be
considerably waked up on the milk question. They are try-
ing to get at 6ome Bcale whereby milk may be bonght and
sold without doing injustice to any one. Naturally their
first drive is at the amount of solidB contained iu the average
milk of the different herJs. Analyses of 391 samples showed
19 below 11 per cent, of solids, 121 between 11 and 12, 192
between 12 and 13, 51 between 13 and 14, and 8 above 14 per
cent, of solids. Car No. 1 coutained 88 samples averaging
12£; car No. 2 contained 11 samples averaging a little over
12; car No, 3 cjntained 52 samples averaging 12: ear No. 4
contained 71 samples averaging 12, and car No. 5 oontaiued
112 samples averaging 12f per cent, of solids. Tne low av-
erage is attributed to the *et weather and estra succolency
of tne feed. The milk is said to be deficient in sugar and
fat. The lack of sugar in sweet corn, which has been no-
ticed by many, is given as evidence uf the tmthfnlnesB of
this conclusion: The quantity of milk has been increased,
bnt the quality lowered. The increase has been mainly in
the element of water. It causes lower figures, but the extra
amount nukes up for this loss in price and keeps the dairy-
man's receipts at about a fair average. Now all this analysis
of milk and development of facts is interesting and confirm-
atory of the papular opinion about the effect of excessive
moisture on quality, hat what does it settle as far as the
equity of the ease is concerned? The analyses shows only
th= condition at the time when the samples were taken, but
do not toach the future at all. There is a constant daily va-
riation in quality which muBt daily be ascertained in order
to do justice to ali concerned. Have the Boston men discov-
ered any method whereby they can teBt the miik of any dairy
on every car that reaches them? If not, they are still beat-
ing the air. The test for solids ib as simple and just as any,
as it is made by simple evaporation. Can this Le done every
day? And then can average samples of every herd be always
taken? This taking of samples is a nice thing to do. One
or two caus may not truly represent the rest, and the sample
taken from a Bingle can may not truly represent the contents
of the whole can. The obstacles in the way of reaching per-
fect justice are many.

We see there is some discussion as to the origin of the
present creamery system. Mr. G. S. Bliss, of Vermont, for-
mer secretary of the Vermont Dairymen's Association, is
right when he says it did not originate with Jesse Williams
of Rome, N. Y„ whD is the accounted father of the associa-
ted cheese-making in this country. In all probability, how-
ever, associated cheese-making suggested associated butter
makiDg. The first butter made in factories was in those that
took a portion of the cream off from the milk before making
cheeBe. Then followed carrying the milk to factories and
setting it in deep cans in pools of water. Somewhere be-
tween 1870 and 1874— about 1873, we think, it was suggested
through the columns of the Utica Herald, then popular among
dairymen, that by a uniform system of setting milk at home
and a uniform system of skimming, only cream need be car-
ried to the factory, and thus save much handling of milk
both ways. It was not long afterward before the Fairlamb
system of cream-gathering was started in the West — 6rst in
Iowa, we believe — and cream was rated by the guage, there
being placed in the side of the can a scale which was sup-
posed to indicate the amount of cream required to make a
pound of butter. The system spread rapidly and began to
c >me East, when it was discovered that a guage of cream
might make a pound, a half a pound, or a pound and a half
of batter, but the average was about right. Then Scbock &
Bolinder invented their churn test, which waB rapidly
adopted by the creameries, and other tests have since follow-
ed, but none better than the first churn test for buttermak-
ing. The later tents show more accurately how much fat
there is in the cream, bat they do not indicate what portion
can be extracted by the churn. This is a brief and we be-
lieve correct outline of the origin of the present creamery
system.

If of sufficient importance, doubtless dates coold be ob-
tained, as most of the parties at first engaged in it are still
living. Mr. BHbs is right in Baying that "creamery butter"
as a brand is about as definite as the phrase, "as big as a
piece ot chalk." It never was de6nite. As soon as Eastern
men beRan to invest their capital in Western creameries, all
the best batter in the market was at once quoted us "cream-
eiy," and the brand was boomed for all it was worth. But
the brand has gradually lost its popularity, it having become
well known that all the real fancy butter in the market is
Made in well-appointed and well-managed private
airies. Many private dairymen, from tne begin-
ning of the popularity of the creamery, put up their
cutter in creamery packages and branded it "creamery,''
because, as they said, "it was mad* by the dreamery proeess,"

and this practice is still continued. A few private dairymen
who know what their goods are as to quality, have had the
courage to stand aloof from the popular drift, and they all
get a good price for their batter. At least nine-tenths or
more of the butter made in the country— it was in 1SS0 27-
2Sths— is made in the private dairy, and the most of it is first-
class and consumed at home, it never having occasion to go
go into the general market. The private dairy does not de-
serve the abuse which it has received from the boomers of
the creamery system.

In breeding dairy stock, individual merit and the posses-
sion of desirable qualities are more to be considered than the
breed, which is valuable only as it indicates the probable
posseBBinn of these qualities, with the power to transmit
them. The breed or the individual animal that possesses the
most desirable points and gives the r-st return, in milk, beef
or work, is the one to be deBired. In breeding for beef, not
only quantity but quality shonld be considered. If for work,
both weight and endurance, coupled with activity, should be
aimed at. The dairy animal should be bred more for quality
than for quantity, more for th« value of the returns at the
pail than for size. Too many Hokteins have been reared be-
cause they were HolsteinF, and too many Jersevs because
they were Jersevs, and so on. The small animal with the rich
mess of milk needs to be bred up and to have the flow in-
creased- The large animal with the large yield of only fairly
good milk needs to be bred for the improvement of the qual -
ty of the milk. This c*n be done by selecting and breeding
from the animals giviDg the richest milk. We want more
lean meat in our hogs, wbich means mora nitrogenous food
and exercise. For mution sbeeo we want the large carcasB
of lean and fat well mixed and tender, and for wool we want
not only weight but fine and even fiber, strong and elaBtic.
In short, we must always have a pnrpope in view in breed-
ing, and subordinate everything el*e lo that purpose.

It will geneially be observed that *>ig feed and big yield go
together. There is nothing unphilosophicil ahont this. So
long as the yield increases with increase of feed, it pays, no
matter how much may be fed, provided the cow's system will
stand it and convert the extra feed into milk and butter. It
bee >nies thus far a mere question of converting raw material
into manufactured produot. A cow cannot make something out
of nothing and the point to be determined is only how much
many be fed with a paying profit. In some of the remarkable
tests, it would not be strange if the ieei should be pushed
beyond the point of protit. nor if the cow should be injured
hy fomna her beyond her normal capacity. The Holstein-
Friesian Register calls attention to the feed of the Jersey cow
Cromwell Maid, when from July 21 to July 27, 1837, she
averaged 19i quarts of milk per day, which made 29 pounds
and 12 ounces of butter. Her daily grain feed was 6 quarts
of corn meal, 7 quarts oatmeal, 2 quarts of pea meal, 1 quart
of oil meal, and 6 quarts of midilings. This is figured ont to
be 34 87 pounds of grain feed daily, which is certainly very
highfor a 900 pound cow. But how could she be expected lo
produce such a prodigious result without it? Comparison is
made with the feed of the Holstein-Friesian cow De Eol 2d,
which made 33 pounds and 6 ounces of butter iu 7 days.
The daily ration was 18 pounds of hominy chop, 7 1-2 pounds
of wheat bran, and 3 1:2 pounds of cotton seed meal — a total
of 29 pounds of grain. She wheighed 1500 pounds, and aver-
aged a pound of butter for 6 1-2 ounces of grain feed, while
the Jersey consumed S 7-32 ounces of grain feed for a pound
of butter. Thus it appears that a pound of Jersey butter
costs more grain feed than a pound of Holstein-Friesian bnt-
ter, the smaller animal eating the more. We do not question
the fairness of thiB statement, as far as it goes; but unfortu-
nately there is a big ommission. Oaly the grain feed is given.
How muchGrasB, hay, or other food did each animal consume?
With thi6 ommission, the comparison is incomplete.

CANOEING.

Oakland oanoe Club.

The quarterly race for the May risch badge came off last
Sunday, and as there had never before been so much prepa-
ration and anticipation of a great race for the honors, a large
crowd of guests and admirers of aquatic Bports were assem-
bled at the Oakland Canoe Club's quarters by one o'clock,
eagerly watching the various canoes as they took their "pre-
liminary canterB" np and down the estuary before the start.
The holder of the badge for the last three months has been
the Mystic, the Frolic haviog held it )for the two preceding
quarters. She, however, was unfortunately disabled on the
very day of the last race, and bo could not enter. There was
therefore, intense interest to Bee which one of the old rivals
Would excel. There were also others who considered their
chances most promising. Mr. E. Eugelbrecht's dark horse
Surprise, built for the occasion, Gypsy, like the Mystic, hav-
ing a new plate centreboard in place of a radix; Dart, with a
new set of sails, deck seats, etc., and many others.

The wind, which had been freshening all the morning,
blew a stiff gale by two o'clock, and several of the canoes
which intended entering withdrew at the first flag. The fol-
lowing canoes appeared at the line: Mystic, Com. W. W.
Blow; Gypsy, A. H. Blow: Frolic, Vice-Corn. H.D.Harri-
son; Bouita, A, Gump; Whisper, W. Morrow; Dart, H.
Olsen; Tack, A. Parle; Sarprise, K. Enge.breoht. At the
word a very fair Btart was effected, the Gypsy at once taking
the lead, closely followed by the Mystic and Whisper. The
canoes fairly fllew before the gale, presenting a beautiful
spectacle. Saddenly Frolic pulled up on and passed Whisper
and Mystio, and a little later on Gypsy. Presently Gypsy's
rudder broke, and she had to retire. The Tuck had alao dis-
appeared from the scene. Dart lost his main sail and was de-
layed in coming ronnd to recover it, but pulled up again in
good style, passing Mystic, and at the stake, where the wind
lightened considerably, coming close up to the leader. After
rounding and hauling sheets it looked bad for Frolic, with
her reduced canvas, Dart being close behind her, but the
wind came up again with greater violence than ever, and
away they went, scuppers under. Mystic was over-crowded,
and sagged off from the wind and was Boon some distance to
leeward. Frolic gradually drew away from Dart, going some-
what closer, and Anally finished first by one and one-half
minutes. The timeB were as follows: —

The jadge was Oscar W. Davis of the Mohawk Canoe Club,
of Troy, N. Y. Timekeeper, Hervey Darneal.

This was one of the best races ever held on the estuary,
and a test of the boats in heavy weather. Most of the canoes
were over-canvaased from excess ,of zeal on the part of their
skippers. Frolic has won the badge now three times, that is,
every time she has entered for it. The Surprise is likely to
develope speed when got into proper shape.

BOYCE TABLETS.

Leg and Boc3.y "WasXi.

THE BOY^E TABLETS are packed in a nicely decorated metal box with hinged lid-one hundred
tablets in each box; directions for nse plainly engraved upon the box; therefore, the convenience of the
package — no liability to leakage and breakage -economy and ready solubility, toaether with the absolute
certainty of their action, will at once commend the use of BOYOE'S TABLETS to the intelligent horsemen
of the country. TABLETS sufficient to make one hundred pints o£ leg and body wash are conveniently
carried in an inside coat pocket or in the hip-pocket of the trousers.

Gentlemen : I look upon horses the same as human beings. They say that a horse has no soul. I
dont't believe that is possible. It does not seem to me that so true, brave and noble an animal as a horse,
after having spent a life of toil and drudgery, will die, and that is the end. I feel like thanking everyone
who does a kind act for the horse family, and for that reason. If for no other, I take the opportunity of
thanking you for having invented a medicine that brings as much comfort to them as I am sure your
CELEBRATED TABLETS do. Mr. Wm. McClosson, the foremen of my stable, tells me that he has never
tried anything in his long experience that gives such relief to a sore horse as the wash prepared from
your medicine.

Hoping for the sake of the horse family that every horse owner in the land will try it, I remain,

Tours truly, John Splak.

Price per Box of One Hundred Tablets, S*, sent postpaid to any part of the United States;

cents to pay postage. These TABLETS are warranted to keep in any climate. AddresB

Gentlemen :— We have used OSSIDINK for the past two years,
and consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone, and
Spavins; there is nothing equals it : and for us it effected a permanent
cure where firing failed, although performed by one of the most suc-
cessful veterinarians on the continent. We have recommended it to
others with like success, and believe it has more merit than any blister
ever used. Verv respectfully vonrs,

S. A. BROWNE & CO., Prop's.

This scientific preparation is an absolute cure
for all bony or callous lumps on horses, and is a
more powerful absorbent than "firing," with-
out creating the slightest blemish.

SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY, OCT. 26, 1889.

Monterey.

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is an old
and trite expression, and no matter how mnch one may love
the excitement of the race track, it becomes absolutely nec-
essary a* times to make a change if only for variety sake.
The determination to make a visit is an easy matter, if one
has the time and the "wherewithal!" and can readily be car'
ried ont when a small valise is all that is required to be taken
alonq, so that the interminable bother attendant upon
packing is dispensed with. A few days ago, ex-Senator Tim
McCarty, Mr. N. Steiner, and the writer started for the old
capital city to view the wonders of that ancient town.

The early moruing train was taken as time was rather lim-
ited, and the few days' vacation had to be ma^e the most of,
and every hour was precious.

The ride on the Monterey division of the Southern Pacific
Railroad is one of the must charming in the State, the land
being justly celebrated for its productiveness and pictur-
esqae scenery, the beauty of which is intensified by the many
elegant residences and magnificent private parks which ap-
pear almoBt the entire way. The journey passed very pleas-
antly, as many friends were traveling in the same direction.
He of whom it was aptly said "he is credited by the United
States to the Court of Newmarket," the justly celebrated
Richard Ten Broeck, Esq., was on the train, and many a
remine^cence his presence brought back to micd. With the
Hon. Creed Haymond, Judge McFarland, W. H. Dunphy,
ex-Mayor Alvord, and a whole host of Pacific Union Club
men, how could time haDg heavily with such a party, all of
whom were determin.d to get the mist possible enjiyment
out of the smallest space of time. The rich and fruitful sec-
tion through which we were passing called forth many favor-
able comments, especially from a number of Eastern and
European tourists who were making the trip for the first
time.

San Mateo, Menlo Park and San Jose were each passed in
rapid succession, Mount Hamilton now showing his head
crested with the world-famed Lick Observatory. At Gilroy
we lost a number of our fellow pa-sengers, who were on
their way to the Gilroy hot springs. At Castroville the
Cockrill Brothers' ra ing contingent left the train, they being
on their way to Soledad, while we continued on to Del
Monte, which is a station about one mile from Monterey.
Tb.9 depot is situated on the verge of the Hotel Dtl Monte's
grounds, and the scene that greets the eye of the stranger iB
one long to be remembered. Massive oaks, indigenous to
the soil, each older than any of our party, with their great
gnarled branches reaching out and drinking in the ray6 of the
noonday 6un. Tall buDcheB of pampas grass towering twen-
ty feet iu height, while magnificent flower beds lend a per-
f lme to the air that pals the amazed spec'ator in mind of
the fabulous stories told in the Arabian nights. As the dis-
tance to the hotel is but short, many of the gentlemen walk
up the well kept pathways to the Mammoth building, while
the ladies avail themselves of the luxurious coaches which are
ia attendance to convey them up the main carriage way.

The hotel, in size, is one of the largest to be found at any
seaside resort, and iB kept at the very highest standard. It
can accommodate about a thousand guests, and is furnished
in a most sumptuous manner. The table is served with
every luxury to tempt the most fastidious palate, while the
attendance is admirable. The grounds have been laid out
by an artist, as is evident by the exquisite designs to be seen
everywhere, while the prestine beauty of the place has not
deteriorated any, but has rather been added to by the wild
vines and ivy which have been trained to embrace thorough,
rugged coats of the old trees. Then the moas hangs from the
limbs in such profusion that one is tempted to exclaim,
"This is the perfection of all that is beautiful. "

The Bay of Monterey is only a short distance from the
main buildings, and here is to be found a fine swimming
bath, subdivided, so that one may bath in salt water of any
heat desired. If fresh water is preferable, then that can be
had also. The baths, like all the surroundings are fitted up
iu the highest style of art, and cannot be surpassed io the
country.

The stables are divided into two parts, one of which is for
the exclusive use of the work horses needed around the place,
while the other is saved exclusively for the fast horses used
by the guests, A look was taken through the latter place,
and we found the animals all kept in the best of style. Of
carriages there are about fifty, of all conceivable styles and
descriptions from the Petaluma cart to the English drag ca-
pable of carrying a score of pleasure-seekers. There are
drivers in plenty to carry excursionists to any of the favored
spots in the vicinity, all of them courteous and accomodat-
ing. A team wa9 secured and a drive taken to Cypress Point,
where we all stood on a high cliff overlooking the seas,
and saw the seals sporting on the rocks away below, with
none to molest them. The return trip was made by another
road, each turn in which produced new panoramic wonders.

Arriving at Monterey the old State House was visited and
although rather dilapidate *s it still has its charms from the
historic memories connected therewith. The town is one of
the oldest on the coast and has so many traces of the ancient
adobe structures remaioing that it requires only a short
stretch of the imagination to fancy oneself in the heart of
Mexico. The "Greaser" is to be seen everywhere which sim-
ply adds to the hallucination.

The Monterey whaling station was called at but "no sign''
was visible and the men were idle. We sauntered along the
beach hoping against hope that we might hear the cry of
"there she blows," but luck was against us and we had to be
contended with listening to some of the yarns pitched by the
sailors, many of whom have been there for years. Aud such
yarns, Jonah and the whale Fank into insigniricence beside
them. One old fellow told bow be had been towel out to
sea by a whale once, and was picked up, five days sail
from land. He told it with mnch seriousness, and has
probably toll it so often, that he actually believes it himself
now. Bidding good-bye to the men at the station we retraced
our step-j to the hotel stopping in at the olub house, the ver-
andah of which was almost taken up by ladies and their es-
corts, sipping lemonades and other light drink;. The view
from this point is particularly encbaotirg. the playgrounds,
tennis and croquet lawns being close at hand, aud every few
seconds the air is ladened with the peal of merry laughter as
points arc made or lost. And the children are romping and
running, swinging and shoutiDg, hilaiily and good nature
both at their height. The fern beds are well worhy of a
visit, there being a multiplicity of them, collected from all
over the world. Palms from every quarter of the gl-jbe are
to be seen growing in profusion, while hundreds of varieties
of the cictus, are tastefully arranged, all adding to the beau-
ty of this fairy 6cene. One of the odd features of the place is
a maze or labyrinth that always entices the unwary to enter,
but woe to the party who fails to take a guide in with them,
for although the place is only one hundred feat square it is a
long walk into the centre and how to get out after you are
once in is a perfect puzzle.

"We lost our way, and had it not been for the assistance
rendered by a small boy, might have been there yet. The
Laguna covers a If rge body of ground, and all the natural
scenery with which it abounds bee been improved on by the
floral artist. There are boats in ilenty for the use of the
guests, and they are readily taken advantage of by those who
roam along the shore. In the centre of the lake there is a
large spout| which throws water to a be;gbt of sixty feet, this
being the waste water from the water works, which were built
by the'compaoy to supply the town and hottl. There is a large

ice manufactory and cold storage rooms for the reception of
meats, fowl, fish and fruit, and at any season of the year
game of all kinds can be had. Terrapin are gTown on the
place, and this delicious article of fuod, which is so highly
prized, is frequently to be found on the bill of fare. It seems
almost impossible to imagine the amount of money that has
been lavished on El Monte by the Improvement Company,
but from reliable sources we learn that $2,500,000 has been
expended, and it takes $250, 000 per annum to carry on the
ordinary expenses. Every day in the year the walks are all
thoroughly brushed, so that there is not the least speck of
dust discern able anywhere. There is another thing in favor
of the Hotel Del Monte that makes it one of the most pleas-
ant places iu the world to visit, and that is a complete ab-
sence of affecte 1 style, so much of which is seen both at the
Eastern resorts and at the Continental spas. All seem to
dress as they please and do just as they please. It is a home
away from home, where all are happy and contented. A
word should be said for the genial manager, Geo. Schonewa'd,
aud his able chief clerk, Mr. Clough, who watch after the
interests of their patrons in a manner that is worthy of im-
itation by all hotel men in the country.

From Australia.

By the last mail a letter was received from an Austral an
friend by an attache of the Bkeedeb and Sportsman, part of
which will bear publication, as from it is gained the informa-
tion that as race tracks increase and flourish, jobbery also
i "creases and that good horses were soon off their feet. In
and around Melbourne with its 400,000 population, rac:ng
was continued for almost every day in the year, barring Sun-
days. People are becoming tired of the sport, and toward
the end of the season (July 31st) many of the regular attend-
ants kept away altogether. The gentleman writes:

1 may as well now proceed to say that the annual meeting
of the members of the Victoria Racing Club, on the 6th of
the present month, put the Turf of the colony on a more sat-
isfactory basis. In the first place, two of the old members of
the committee — the law makers of racing — were sent to the
right about in one of the strongest polls ever known, their
successors being both leading legal lights, one a barrister and
the other an attorney. At that very meeting it was an-
nounced that racing was to be cut down to about two da_ s
per week in the neighborhood of Melbourne during the ensu-
ing year, whilst the Victoria Racing Ciub claim the whole
fortnight for the four days of the ensuing spring meeting, as
well as for the same period during the autumn, kIso a week
for the two days of the Grand National meeting iu the win-
ter. So far, so good; and as I am writing at the end of the
first month. I may say that a decided improvement is at this
date very apparent. The old established racing clubs at Ben-
digo, Ballarat and elsewhere, that have suffeie! through the
plethora of racing in Melbourne, are also now looking up and
hoping for better times.

I ought not to pa=s over the balance sheet of the Victoria
Racing Club for the past year, as a remarkable illustration of
"Spjrt in Australia." There were twelve days* raciug during
the year, four for the spring, the same for the autumn, and
one each for New Year's Day, April, the Queen s Birthday,
and the Grand National Meeting. The four days spring fix-
ture, of course, shows up best, and may be classed as won-
derful. The expenses, in the shape of stakes, etc . ran up to
£J9.S73, but the receipts were £45,229, having the great
balance in hand of £25,355. I think I can safely say this
beats anything ever known in America, aDd Mr. Byron Moore,
the secretary, is naturally proud thereat. He is a great or-
gan's r, and the Melbourne Cup day — the second of the four
days' spring meeting — is the day that he particulaly excels
himself on. Some other figures in connection with the bal-
ance sheet of Australia's leading racing community ought
not to be omitted. For instance, the receipts fiom members'
subscriptions come to £6, 725. On the other side,' £10.527
was spent on the Flemington course and the (raining grounds
in improvements, and £10,000 defrayed the purchase of the
club's offices and headquarters io Bourke street, Mell
Well may the colony be proud for next Noveml
shape of the Melbourne Cup of 50 sovs. sweer.
5,000 sovs. added. It is furthermore a crelitab
the present season's j ro gramme that not a single

sport. The first race on the programme was a novelty,
with four entries. Poo^ were sold with Sunday barred.

$20, Knox bringing $8, and $3 for Kinney. At the second
score the word was giveD, Knox leading a "length round the
turn, but before the half waB reached all three broke, Stem-
winder falling back. Knox kept in front to the turn, when

The heats in the fourth race and the trot againBt time were
Fandwiched. Three horses came out for the fourth race,
Palatina selling favorite at $20 to Little Joe's $17 and Brad-
shaw'a $10. Joe had the pole, and a start was effected at
the second score. Palatina broke badly before the turn; Lit-
tle Joe and Bradsbaw going evenly, were fifty yards in front
at the quarter. Bradshaw broke badly up the backstretch,
and was passed by Palatina, who trotted very fast and grad-

running bard was only brought down just befcre the wire, a
length behind Palatina, BradBhaw saving hit* distance by
judicious running. Time 2:26£.

Mutuals paid $23.

Mutuals paid $10.

Third Heat — Very few poo^ were sold, Palatina bringing
$30 to the field's $16.

Eonis was taken out of the sulky and Hogobcom drove
Bradshaw. Palatina was very erratic, and before the quar-
ter was reached broke twice, losing fifty yards, but settling
down, soon made up most of the difference, and when iu the
homestretch went up to the haders, but breaking again, lost
the heat by three lengths, Bradshaw first, Palatina set baok
for running to third place. Time 2:29.

Fourth Heat— Palatina still sold a big favorite at $20 to $8.
Palatina broke before the first tarn, losing thirty yards, but
closing up on the backstretch, came np between the leaders
and took the p le at the head of the stretch. Bradshaw
trotted fast down the stretch. beiDg only beaten a neck, Joe
seven lengths back. A big kick was made that Palatina
fouled Bradshaw, the judges eventually giving it a dead heat.
Time, 2:28$, but not announced.

The race was then postponed until Monday, when Brad-
shaw was not brought out, being lame, and was declared dis-
taaced. Palatina sold readily for $20 to $5 for Joe. After a
long delay the judges Btarted the pair. Palatina, who was
•gain very unsteady, breaking before the turn, and again on
the turo, Joe led three lengths at the quarter and trotting
steadily retained his advantage until the homestretch waB
reached, when Palatina came up to him, and trotting steadily,
carried him off his feet at the distance and won by a length.

could call and oollect. The boys called on Mr. Brewster and

effort was made to stop the swindler, but he got away. How-

Some Notes From Ireland-

I

I took an opportunity when at Cork Park laBt week for the
races (which, by|the way, were very poor,) to pay a visit to
Baltimore and view the annual regatta, which is now looked
upon as a highly important aquatic event in the South of
Ireland. The programme was of such length that some-
thing had to be abandoned. Father Davis, P. P., with Mr.
Thomas Bashe and Mr. T. Salter, exerted themselves ener-
getically and untiringly on board the committee boat all day,
and the large concourse of onlookers present did not fail to
appreciate the excellent bill of fare worked out for them. The
event in which the greatest interest was centred was the bona
fide six-oared yawl race. For this three splendid clippers
entered, namely: The Champion, owned by Kelsall Bros ,
Liverpool; the Jubilee, owned by the Skibbereen Fishery
Company; and the Commodore, of Cape Clear, Mr. Pat.
Burke owner. The Champion came in an easy winner, the
Jubilee being six lengths behind, and Commodore a good
third. Theie were several other contests of minor impor-
tance". The band of the Piscatorial School, under Mr. Nich-
olas Punch, discoursed a choice selection of music, and a dis-
play of fireworks concluded the day's sport.

I wonder how many persons in Ireland never heard of,
much less visited, the Irish Baltimore, or ever associated the
name with any other than a distant city? The truth is, the
great State across the Atlantic was named after the unpre-
tentious little fishing village from whence the vast takes of
mackerel are dispatched for American use. The word sig-
nifies "the village that grew up about the big house;" and
the ivy-covered ruins ot the Iri^b "big house" once occu-
pied by the ancient O'DriBcolls, looked down from an impos-
ing height upon the peaceful array of dwellings which have,
from time, to time grown up about iis wrecked and deserted
site. The mackerel fishing is the chief industry of the
place, and to see a whole fleet of boats go out on a fine, calm
day is a charming sight; but to see the same boats return
with their fresh and delicious cargo, and to watch the spoil
being landed by the gratified taker?, is one more gratifying
Btill— even though we know that not the sight of a go. den
guinea will tempt e*en the most needy fisherman to dispose
to a retail purcbasei of the very smallest specimen ot his
glittering take. All are immediately salted down, packed in
barrels (of which vast piles lie in the sheds by the shore) and
started off on their trans-Atlantic journey.

Looking down at the tempting sea-spoil as it is landed
from the boat, we learn for the first time perbapB what a
beautiful fish the mackerel is. There he lieB, he and his
comrades, with their sharp greyhound noses, well-moulded,
tapering bodies, formed accurately for speed — and, oh, what
a glorious show of color— the very commonest specimens
being as splendidly provided for in that way as the rarer and
more exclusive genera. The green and blue tints mingliog
together on the back, emerald and Eapphire superbly blend
ed the lovely opalescent gleams; faint rose and coral, and
heliotrope, changing with every light that falls on them, and
all alas, altering too soon to the dull dun, brown and cloudy
yellow, 'which are all that tardy eyes ever see of the wonder-
ful coloring of this too little esteemed fish. The rainbow
hues fade out, the daffodil shade behind the eye turns to a
sickly green, and if the salting is not proceeded with almost
as soon as harbor is reached, the labors of the takers are in
vain and the harvest of the sea is lost.

The Baroness Burdett-Coutts takes a kindly and unceas-
ing interest in Baltimore and its surroundings, and to her
generosity in advancing money for building cottages, further-
ing the fishery, and promoting the general industry of the
place, its present air of prosperity is in a large measure due,
I was glad to be told that not one penny is at present due to
the Baroness, whose timely advances have all been paid off.
There is a splendid and newly erected school—a kind of pis-
catorial seminary, I fancy— very large and extremely impos-
ing built of fine grey stone and mo3t substantially fashioned,
which at once strikes the eye of the visitor entering the
village— and on a rising ground close to the sea, and literally
"on the edge of the steep" is the Protestant church, wanting
only the "tower in ruins" to bear out the exact similitude of
"The Garden of Sleep." Even the "regal red poppies" uprear
their gaudy heads in the warmth of of the lovely September
days. Heaven knows how old that church is. I doubt if
many of the present dwellers on earth exactly know— but the
ruins of a still older one exist, and are shown, filling the
mind with a curious wonder concerning the antiquity of the
district. The church and chapel are lighted by oil lamps-
gas having, seemingly, not found its way to Baltimore yet—
although there is talk about running a steam train to it from
Skibbereen by and by. I was delighted with the clean,
homely look of all the cottt.geB, the bright face of the little
post-office, the turning appearance of the cattle, and the na-
tive Irish (spoken in all its musical purity) by some of the
older peasantry.

I wonder how many people know there ere a hundred
thousand men and women in Ireland to-day who speak noth-
ing but the pure Irish tongue, and further, that theie are

eight hundred thousand bi-lineuists whose English is of a
very iroperf. ct type. Nearly all these exist in the south and
west of the Green Isle — a non-knowledge of English being
somewhat rare in the north. I had a great deal to notice
during the lengthy drive back to Skibbereen. The female
peasantry all wore long blue cloaks, with immensely deep
collars or capes, which could be utilized as hoods when occa-
sion or stress of weather required, and these are, I believe,
regarded aa heirlooms, and are handed down from mother to
daughter, and from aunt to niece, with a due appreciation of
the value of such household goods. The previous day
having been wet, we saw a great many of these cloaks spread
out on hedges and palings, some of them patched and darned
and almost brown with age, but still carefully preserved for
bestowal on the next female generation.

Speaking of hedges, reminds me to say that I never saw
anything more wonderful or more beautiful than the fuchsia
hedgeB in that Southern country. Go along for miles and
you witl meet them everywhere; sometimes you can drive
between them — seven, eight, and up to ten feet high — beau-
tiful glossy green, unspoiled by dust or depredator, with
millions of little crimson bells nodding and shaking in the
pleasant breeze. These fuchsia hedges are, I am told, never
planted and never cared for. They are said to grow and
flourish naturally, and it is only where they abound about
the better class of farm houses that they are trimmed and
kept within prosaio bounds. The cottagers dry their clothes
on them, and set their salted fish on them (when the splitting
process has been effected) to dry thoroughly in the sun and
wind. The cats climb up them to bask, and to await birds,
perhaps; and the hedgehogs lie curled up under their
shadow, but nobody seems to thmk anything of their loveli-
ness, and the children never stop to pluck a blopsom as they
go by. And on, the lovely little wells and springs of pure,
sun-kissed, yet icy water, scattered freely along the roadside,
purling and dancing and covering the delicious water cress
with diamond spray. Where the fuchsia hedges are not,
there are blackberries — wild raspberries they call them there
— not the wretched, stunted things that one sees and laments
for along suburban roadways, but large, luscious, glistening
fruit, black as ebony, even in September, and deliciously
sweet through its acinity.

We drove home by Lough. Ine, a salt water lake of extra-
ordinary beauty — handsome as anything to be seen at Kil-
larney; the Bhores grandly wooded, the water at the margin
clear enough to show the shining pebbles beneath its heaps
of seaweed borne in from the Atlantic, on which it opens —
fine natural oyster beds, and on one side of the landing an
ancient interesting oratory of the sixth century. For twelve
hundred years that rude little edifice resisted the serious at-
tacks of time, and it was not until last year, while under in-
spection by a couple of tourists, that the gable, which they
were watchirjg from a distance of several yards, suddenly
crumbled ana fell. The residence of the well known and
always honored Beecher family is on the margin of this
exquisite lake and the lovers of the beautifuf can scarcely
help envying them their picturesque home. The present
owier was formerly an officer in the Household Guards, but
now lives, very much retired, in the bosom of his lengthy
family, and amid such surroundings as resemble fairyland
rather than solid earth..

The Beecher family used to be able to drive for forty miles
through their own actual estate, and the property, even in
these altered times is extremely extensive. Skirting it, we
drove presently past Lissard, the stately and solidly-built
residence of The O'Donovan, overlooking anotner supremely
beautiful stretch of water. Lissard baa four entrances. "We
drove past three of them, and noticed on the roof of one, an
exfremely pretty little monkey, evidei tly well fed and cared,
and tethered by a strap around the body to a pole that ran
up the entire side of a small dwelling. In that window was
a parrot, and I learned that the caretaker has a sailor son
whose custom it is to bring home some live stock on his re-
turn from every voyage. The O'Donovan has a passion for
etchings, and, needless to say, knows how to entertain. He
is a Ia 1, handsome specimen of an Irishman, in the autumn,
not the winter, of his days, and his lady wife is an extremely
beautiful woman. I need not, I fancy, tell our English read-
ers that the prefix "The" to the surname signifies "the head
of the ancient clan of the name," and the title descends from
father to Bon. Saxon visitors some years ago did not under-
stand it as generally as now, and it is told of either The O'-
Donovan or The O'Donogbue that on sending an invitation
to a Major Bull, stationed with a troop at Buttevant, the
sender of the letter was astonished at receiving back an an-
swer: "The Bull has much pleasure in accepting The O'Don-
oughue's kind invitation," etc. The officer, it appeared,
meant no sarcasm, but simplyjthougbt the prefix was an ordi-
nary custom of the country, and that he would be doiug a
polite thing in adopting it.

As we neared Skibbereen my host, who was driving me,
drew my attention to a comfortably clad peasant who was
lingering close to a very clean cottage door. "Ask this man
a few questions," be whispered me; "his name is Murty
Malony, and if his answers don't astonish you I'll consider
our drive wasted." Always ready for fun and new impres-
sions I Baid (as my driver drew op in a friendly way): 'Good
evening, Mr. Malony" "Oh, good evenin' to you," he an-
swered in a queer, stolid, unsmiling fashion. "That's my
name, unless I was changed at nurse." "And what is your
general occupation?" I enquired. "Me ackipation? Sure, I'd
know; unless itspullin' the divil b' the tail." "Aren't you
a farmer?" "Eh, a what?" "An agriculturist?" "Ocb,
murther!" "A Bmall farmer?" "Mighty small, indade."
"What stock have you?" "Two pair o' stockin's. " "1 mean
live stock." "Oh, bastes! Well, I hav« a boneen, a pnsheen
and a dogyeen." You mean a little pig, a little cat and a dog.
Ay, thats it. And ooder whom do you hold ? Oh a lot of
people Under Barney the Brag, and he howlds under Bandy
Ned, and he under Molly Finn, and she under Buck Jacfc,
and he just howMs his chin over water. Are you married?
Ay, twice over. And a family, I suppose. Tis, two of them.
What do you chiefly live on? Prayties. Oh, but you have
something to eat with them. Sorra thing. What do I have?
Why, bacon. Ocb, glory, sure the pig is the gintleman, that
kapes the roof over our heads. Well, milk then? Divil a
milk. Cock us up indade, wid dainties. Faix, if we drank
milk Barney the Bragd have to go without his silver chain on
Sundays, and Ned'd have to hop on one crutch instead of
two. and Molly Finn'd have to drive an ass instead of the
grey mare; and how could Buck Jack, as grinds Molly and
all of us, rowl in his carriage and compare with the English
nobility, if me and thelites of me was to drink milk with
my prayties! Ob, drive on, I whispered my companion; or I
shall fall under the wheels with laughing. And on we
drove, leaving Marty laoghing also in his sleeve for he
thought I was English, and that he had done me fairly.

I wish I bad space to notice even one half of the lovely
placea that can be visited from the district of which I hav
been writing, notably, Schull, and its historic surroundings,
and all the exquisitely beautiful country that lies between

Castle Townsend and Kineeu; but I am bound to say the
railway company does little to induce travelers to acquaint
themselves with these delightful regions. From Dub-
lin to Cork the journeying is good; express trains do
it in fi\e hours, and most of the carriage accommodation
is excellent but there my praises must necessarily stop. From
Cork to Skibbereen is slow torture. The look of the station
is enough to turn the milk of human kindness to gall and
bitterness; the second class carriages are not even eqnal,
much less superior, to the ordinary third; three hours are
consumed in doing a journey of fifty miles, and nearly twenty
stations are stopped at by every train that travels on the
line. There is no fast train from one weeks end to another,
or seeminglv any desire to keep pace with the advance of
the times. I hope the country will lay these truths to heart,
and accepting them in the fair spirit in which they are
meant, take some steps towards rectifying existing grievances
and encouraging travel, which is in great measure the life
and backbone of trade.

A Great Stud Farm.

We have on our table the very ornate and complete cata-
logue issued by Hon. W. L. Scott of the thoroughbreds in
his Algeria Stud Farm at Erie, Pa. Barely, indeed, is so
complete a little work of this sort issued, and the main Bpirit
in the compilation and tabulating of the pedigrees is Mr. F.
B. Whipple, the manager and superintendent of the farm.

The tour stallions at service at Erie, are all well known to
fame, three of them on the course, as well as at the stnd.
Bayon d'Or, Algerine and Wanderer were all fine turf per-
formers, and on the cardinal principle that like begets like
they have reproduced themselves in their progeny time and
again. Kayen d'Or's get have steadily increased their Amer-
ican winnings since 1886, their first year, up to the one just
closing, when Chaos and Tenny will put the mighty French-
man high up in the liet of winners, to say nothing of Tea
Tray, Gipsey Queen, Bronzomarte and many others*

Algerine and Wanderer, as well as Kantaka, the three other
stallionB at Erie have done well at the stud for their chances,
and bid fair to be worthy companions of Bayon d'Or.

The list of brood mareB at Erie is quite impressive, as no
less than eighty-five high bred matrons are included in the
catalogue to hand. Seven of these are by War Dance, six
by Bayon d'Or, five by Virgil, four by Australian, two by
Lord Lyon, two by Kantaka, two each by Victorians, Bonnie
Scotland, Longfellow, Macaroon, Duke of Magenta, Doncas-
ter, King Alfonso, Glenelg, Hurrah, Scottish Chief, Mortemer,
three each by imp. Eclipse and Leamington, and one by
each of no less than twenty-eight other stallions. This forms
a collection of all degrees of blood that is absolutely price-
less to a breeder of thoroughbreds.

AQUATICS.

Partly on account of inclement weather, and more par-
ticularly from lack of enthusiasm, the affairs in local boat-
ing circles are quieter than for some yeais. The much
talked of championship badge race petered out, and now the
single scullers are talking of a s-hell race on Thanksgiving
Day. The boys are all inclined to enter it. There should
be some incentive from the public, but they say that they
do not hardly feel like chipping in among themselves, raise
a little money and then row for it. To row a gcod race re-
quires some weeks of self-denial and hard work, and on this
bay the sculler receives very little encouragement. Victoria,
Portland and Salt Lake City gave a regatta this year, and
very liberal purses, but in this city only on July 4th are
the rowing men recognized, and after collecting nearly
twenty thousand dollars, the Fourth of July committee gener-
ously," after much wrangling, set aside three hundred dol-
lors for the regatta, and then made a programme that called
for several crew and at least two single races. After hard
training, etc., the winning crew got $75; that ie. the pro-
fessional, and the amateurs got four medals that Uncle Har-
ris, in a tit of great liberality, might advance three dollars
on. The successful single sculler for his work and training
receives $50 for rowing down eight or ten men. This is in-
deed a liberal city for rowing men.

According to late advices Edward Hanlan has joined the
gang, and is open for propositions. The other day there was
to be a regatta but on account ot all that was advertised to
start not doing ao the purs was pruned down and Hanlan,
who had already rowed a short mile race, refused to start
againBt those who were in the three mile race, stating that
he was merely engaged to go and row one race there and as
he had fulfilled his contract he would take his wages and go.
Teemer had made a race with Hanlan for 5500 a side, but
when it came to putting up the stakes, E. L. Suter, Hanlan
& Co., backed water and proposed to row for the gate and
divide it equally. Teemer, who had an idea that tit and well
he can out row any man in America, declined the proposi-
tion, remarking: "The day has gone by when you can dic-
tate termB to scullers and as I led the parade the last few
times we met Ned, I am thinking hereafter you will have to
put up some money and row on your merits.

Think of that to the mighty Hanlan, the man who romped
away from all the men he ever rowed against while be wsb
Ned Hanlan, and who has won over $100,000 in stakes and
purB9s. Alas, how the mighty hath fallen.

The other evening, while discussing Hanlans fast mile of
5:19, made last week, a gentleman in the party offered to
wager $500 even that there were two scullers in ibis city who
could duplicate it, neming Henry Peterson and Chas. Long.
Owing to the fact that Lander Stevenson did not have $500
with him, and none of the others having sand enongb to
cover the bet, the Plunger escaped. According to that, Pete
muBt have improved considerably since we saw him row last
March. And Charley, why, he would have to row nearly
twice as fast as when he rowed Henry Henchman at Stock-
ton.

Wm. Gronney wished tolkeepthe fact that he ordered a ne
shell of Buddick a secret, and was much disgusted when he
saw in the morning papers that it was public property, but
Fomeone told him that it no one subscribed for the morning
papers in Victoria or Stockton, consequently the great sculler
is still casting covetous eyes for the chsmpionship of the two
burgs mentioned. Our exchanges will please not mention
anything further about Mr. Grouney's new boat until he gets
his game tied up with a deposit, then please give it a column
with a double header.

A meeting will soon be held consisting of *
lives of each rowing club. The object ot tl,
to make some arrangtment with regard u
from the railroad* to build boat hcin-.s, el
across the bay.

In order to define what constitutes a trotting-bred boraeand to estab-
lish a breed of trotters on a more intelligent basis, the following
rules are adopted to control admission to the records of pedigrees.
When an animal meets the retirements of adrnis-ion and is duly
registered, it shall be accepted as a standard trottiug-bred animal:—

First.— Any stallion that has himself a record of two minutes and
thirty seconds (2:J0) or better, piovided any of hie get has a record of
•2:35 oy better, or provided bis sire or his dam is already a standard
animal. , _ _ „„ . ,,

Second.— Any mare or gelding that has a record of 2:30 or better.

THinD. — Any horse that is the sire of two animals with a record of
2:30 or better. , , ,„ , ,

Fourth.— Any horse that is the sire of one animal with a record of
230 or better, provided he has either of the additional qualifications:
(1) A record himself of 2:35 or better. (2) Is the sire of two other
animals with a record of 2:35 or better. (V) Has a sire or dam that is
already a standard animal.

Fifth. -Any mare that has produced an animal with a record of
2:30 or better.

Sixth. -The progeny of a standsrd borse when out of a standard
mare.

Seventh.— The female progen; of a standard borse when out ol a
mare by a standard horse.

Eighth.— The female progeny of a standard horse when out of a
mare whose dam is a standard mare.

Ninth. -Any mare that has a record of 2:35 or better, and whose
sire or dam la a standard animal.

Stamboul.
Of conrse one has to go away from home for news, that is,
original news, and it is from the Breeders' Gazette that we
learn that "It is not decided wbetheror not Stamboul, 2:143,
will start against the stallion record this season. It has been
the plan all along to have him go a mile against the watch
some time this fall, it being thought that with Hickok to
give him the necessary preparation, the son of Sultan would
be able to materially lower his record. Now ttiat Bonnie
McGregor has trotted in 2:13} and Palo Alto done the triok in
2:131, it places Stamboul still further from the front than he
was before these two made their essays. His owner is a rich
man, to be nure, and can afford to let Stamboul rest on his
laurels, but be is not ounteut to do this, and private advices
are to the effect that the horse was to have gane against bis
record at the recent meeting at Stockton, Cal. While at the
track there he was worked out a couple of miles, the best one
toing 2:17£. The next day it was given out that Stamboul
vas suffering f rem a slight cold and would not be started that
veek against his record. Hickok is a shrewd manager, aud
with those who know him best it is deemed certain' that
whenever he does start Stamboul against his own record or
that of any other stallion, the time set upas a mark will be
beaten. Hickok seldom makes a mistake, aud especially is
this true in the matter of estimating what a horse can do
le showed this when St. Julian trotted in 2:12+, the first
hue he asked him to show in pnblic, and it is not on the
cards that he will make any mistake with Stamboul.

Alexander's Abdaliah.

Iconoclast, in Wallace's MonUi I v.

Hambletonian sired four Bons that are now entitled to the
first rank as speed-producing horses. These are Alexander's
Abdaliah, George "Wilkes, Happy Medium and Electioneer.

Volunteer stands well up among the sons of that horse of
the second grade, while Aberdeen, Strathmore, Dictator and
Dauntless give promise of eventually being able to take rank
with the first four named.

George Wilkes and Happy Medium thus far seem to be the
most uniform producers ot speed in their immediate offspring,
and both of them appear to breed on well. Electioneer pro-
duces the earliest speed of any of the sons of Hamblbtonian;
but it must be borne in mind that his opportunities for the
production of early speed are superior to those ever enjoyed
by any other horse. The get of all three of these horses out of
mares of good blood make race horses of a very high quality.
But for all the purposes of a trotting sire; for the productiou
of speed in his immediate get; for getting campaigners of
courage and staying capacity, and for breeding on from gener-
ation to generation, improving uniformly from decade to de-
cade, nolaorse that ever lived has equaled Abdaliah 15. As a
progenitor he is not only without a superior, but when his
opportunities and early death are considered he is absolutely
without a peer.

Some months ago General Tracy published several articles,
in which he took the position thatthegreatest trottingprogen-
itor waB the one that produced (or was capable of producing)
the greatest sire; aud from this he urged that Woodford Mam-
brino and George WilkeB were the grattst progenitors that
had yet appeared. This view seems to me to be an extremely
narrow one arid would limit the work of a trotting progenitor
to the business of producing great sons. Why might General
Tracy not as well say that the greatest progenitor is the one
that produces the greatest daughter ? This position, it seemB
to me, would be fully as logical. Or why not assert that the
stallion is the greatest progenitor who Biros the greatest aim-
paigner, or the fastest Bon or daughter? As the real object in
breeding is to produce as muoh speed as possible in as short a
time as possible, I submitthat the true measure of a stallion's
greatness is the production of the maximum amount of speed
in the minimum quantity of time, opportunities being equal.
Take General Tracy's rule and Ms example of Woodford
Mambrino. That borse happened to be bred to Primrose, a
mare sired by Abdaliah 15, out of Black Rose, one of the
greatest of brood mares, and produced Princeps— a grand
horse. Princeps, standing at Indian Hill among a superbly-
bred lot of niareB, has made a very successful sire. Therefore
(according to General Tracy's reasoning), just in the propor-
tion that Princeps surpasses other horses of his age is
Woodford Mambrino a greater sire than the sireB of the
horses with which he ia compared. To Bhow the extreme
fallacy of this argument it is only necessary to aivance the
extremely probable hypothesis that theBe other sires were
never bred to Primrose, and the resulting foal never stuod at
Indian Hill or had access to its very choice harem.

The production of one or two great sires or great perform-
ers is not by any means conclusive proof of greatness in a
progenitor, because, for all we know (if this is all the horse
does), the greatness may come from the mares with which he
is mated.

If this were not true, then Abdaliah I. and the almost un-
heard-of sire of Blue Bull would be entitled to very much
higher rank than is now accorded to them.

It is the steady and uniform production ot speed out of all
sorts of mares, of speed that breeds on generation after gen-
eration, that distinguishes horses of the hrst class — those who
alone are worthy to be ranked as the really great progenit-
ors.

When a horse foaled in 1852, after very slight stud service
in New Y^rk is taken to Kentucky in 1859, put in the stud
in a locality where, acording to General Withers, who then
lived there, there were no trotting mares, getting scarcely any
patronage, in 1863 taken to Woodburn, where the country
wa^ all ablaze with the tires of Civil War, getting a few colts
and fillies there, and then dying in 1865 from hard riding and
neglect, producing altogether less than two hundred foals —
when such a horse, under Buch unpropitious circumstances,
becomes the sire of the incomparable Goldsmitb. Maid, that
won more heats inside of 2:30 than any other horse ever trot-
ted in that time: of the marvellously prepotent Almout,
whose line, like Tennyson's brook, seems to ' go on forever,''
and to gather force and volume every year; of the great Bel-
mont, that sired such a horse as Nutwood, and of the excel-
lent Thorudale; and out of these less than two hundred foals
produces twelve sires of about ninety 2:30 performers, with
an almost innumerable host of 2:30 descenaantB in the re-
mote generations — such a horse as this, in my hambte judg-
ment, deserves the highest rank that a trotting stallion can
hold.

Whatever may be the judgment of General Tracy (and it is
entitled to great respect}, 1 am sure that the production of
one great sire, were he several times the magnitude of Prin-
ceps, would not, in tne estimation of most horsemen, be
regarded as the equivalent of such wonderful produoing and
reproducing power as was displayed by the unrivalled Ab-
daliah.

Nature, whether working in man or animals, never does
her best except at rare intervals. When she makes a great
horse, as well as a great man, she breaks the mold. It took
many generations of men to produce a Homer. After many
generations more the broken mold waB re-formed, and a
Shakespeare appeared. It is donbtfnl whether another
Abdaliah will reappear for a very long period of time. We
pile trotting-cross upon trotting-cross, in the hope of pro-
ducing his equal; and in ibij we do wisely, for as far as hu-
man wisdom goes this is the surest method of approximating
perfection.

But what did Nature do when she wanted to make an Ab-
daliah? She took the blood of a great sire, uniLed it with
that of a dam of unknown breeding, and behold the mighty
product ! That that nam was a mare brimful of trotting-blood
we cannot, however, doubt. Those who knew her testify
that she had speed, and was, like ShaDgbai Mary, agreat road-
mare. It is unfortunate indeed that her breeding is not
known — not that we coold reasonably expect to produce
another Abdaliah by following the same lines of breeding, but
we might get the nearest approximation possible from a sys-
tematic course of breeding.

What was lost to the breeders of trotting-horses when Ab-
daliah met his cruel and untimely death no man can estimate.
The value of the produce of the two greatest sons, Almont
and Belmont, is almost incalculable. Bat add to the grand
total resulting from the aggregated values of the produce of
the remainder of his sons ana daughters in all the genera-
tions, and the result would be enormous indeed.

The other three of the greatost sons of Hmnbletonian —
Gtorge Wilkes, Electioneer and Huppy Medium— have ac-
complished grand things. They were all very great horses;
but it must be remembered that two of them lived to a con-

siderable age, and the third, which is yet living, is eight
years older than wbb Abdaliah at the time of his death.

While eacn of them has sired very meritorious horses, some
of them performers of phenomenal speed, none of them can
boaBt of such a campaigner as Goldsmith Maid; and while
each has produced great sires, none of them has to bis credit
each a sire as Almont or Buch a grandson as Nutwood; and
while all of them will doubtless breed on well, it is doubtful
if either of them, considering the number of his foals, will
ever be able to show such an array in the 2:30 list in the far-
away generations.

I believe, firmly, that all these horses will make great sires
of dams because they tdl produce trotting action, bat I doubt
if the time will ever come when, out of oue hundred of their
female foals seleced at random, twenty-one dams of twenty-
five performers can be found; and I say this not at all by way
of disparagement to them, bat merely to emphasize the great-
ness of Abdaliah by comparing him with the greatest of the
other sons of his she.

Without taking the space necessary for a full tabulation of
the 2:30 pro-luce of Abdaliah 15, in the different genera'ioDs,
it will be sufficient to epitomize it in a brief statement. Ia
the first generation he produced 6 performers; in thn second
generation, 120; in the third generation, 261. Total, three
generat ons, 387.

In this calculation there are doubtless many descendants
of daughters and granddaughters that have escaped my atten-
tion as well as many others in the various generations that
have entered the 2:30 list during the present year, and of
which I have no record; but it cannot le disputed that the
above figures constitute an unrivaled showing for a horse
that was foaled in 1852, and produced, all told, less than two
hundred foals. I think it entirely safe to say that no fonr
of the other sons of Hambletonian — probably no four other
hoises, excluding Hambletonian (who was foaled three years
earlier, was in the stud until he was twenty-seven ytars old,
and produced 1,375 foals out of the beBt trotting mares the
country then afforded), have ever equalled this wonderful
record.

In the 2:20 list Abdaliah shows to fully as great advantage
asin the2.30 list,, although with him. a-s with all other sires,
that list is a great reducer of numbers. He had ia the first

The above lis'.s no doubt omit many records that have been
made this year, and very probably some of previous years;
but they are enough for my purpose, which is to show not
only that speed descends in the Abdaliah line, but that it is
superior to any other branch of the Hambletoniau family in
producing extreme speed. The statement has been frequent-
ly made, and thus far has seemed to pass unchallenged, that
Abdaliah 15 is the progenitor of more horses that trot in 2.20
than all the other 6ons of Hambletonian combined. I shall
be glad to Bee any omission in the table supplied.

Cause of Colic

"Colic in our horses," says an English veterinarian, "is
generally the result of careless or improper feeding. The
stomach of the horse is small and the digestion is limited,
and if the horse is hungry aud overfed, or is allowed to gulp
down a big feed, oolic is the result; and if musty hay or
musty or sour feed is used, or if fresh-cut grass wet with dew
or rain is hastily eaten in large quantities, colio is often the
result- The careful, thoughtful man who feeds his horse*
regularly rarely has the colic to contend with. More fre-
quent feeding of small feeds is better than too much feed at
once. See the skillful horseman on the ship with his horses
tied up without exercise He cuts down his feed to keep the
horses with keen appetite. A very little overfeeding pro-
duces colic." Too much cold water when the horse is heated
and tired is a fruitful source of colic, as is also too much
green food, whicb, from its succulent nature, is liable to un-
dergo fermentation. The remedy is the same as in man.
Quickly give something to relieve the pain, pain-killer or
some^ special colic cure; keep the animal qaiet and warm and
if relief is not soon bad, get the veterinarian.

South American Racing.

Perhaps a few lines on Argentine racing may be acceptable
to your readers, says a South American correspondent in the
English Sporting Times. There is established here a jockey
club, and things are well managed up to a certain point, con-
sidering they have only been at the game something less than
foar years. To become a member ot the club the usual pro-
poser and seconder is required; these must, however, be
backed up by the would-be member with the nice sum of
$1,000 per annam. There are really only two courses, both
within a short drive of Bueuos Ayres, and the carts can be
seen tooling outwards on Sundays and feast days by the hun-
dreds. The best coarse is that presided over by the jockey
club, and called the National Hippcdrome, at Palermo, the
circumference of which is 1,750 metres, with good breadth,
two excellent grand stands, and one in the course of comple-
tion. The two finished stands would accommodate about
5.000 or 6.000 persons. The paddock is all one could desire,
both as to weighing and dressing-rooms, aud the accommoda-
tion is excellent. Indeed, Newmarket cannot boast such a
paddock, taking it all in all. The tarns of the course are very
sharp, and in a 1,200 metre race the runners have to negoti-
ate two short ones before getting into the straight, when they
have a run in of two lurlougs. The going is as bard ae old
Fleet street pavement — the wood pavenient of which, well
soaked, would be soft going when compared with tbe ground
the horses have to gallop over in this part of the world.

The methods of native training are peculiar, and so you
must think when I tell you the horses are out and at work by
2 to S a. m. Indeed, the gallops and trials nearly all take
place by 3:30 to4A.ii, and generally before the early hour
of 3 a. m. Very rarely does one see a blood horse out after
5 a. M., unless it be occasionally in the afternoon, about 5 to
6, for a walk. Oats being Bcarce, and very dear, tbe horses
are fed on maize, except those owned by the Portlands and
Westminsters of Buenos Ayres, and these have oats, of
course.

There is no genial bookie here, no '"'2 to 1 bar a couple, the
field a pony," but instead the puol arrangement, wheie the
punter buys so many tickets on his fancy at $1 per ticket,
the executive deducting from the total on t ach race the mod-
est sum of ten per cent, to defray expenses and stakes; and
as there are often $50,000 to $80,000 on each race, you can
see that the said executive does very well indeed, there being
some seven races on every Sunday, and generally the same
number on two Thursdays in each month. There are also
five or six remate shops, or "sport clubs," where one, during
the week previous to tne Sunday's or Thuisday's racing, can
buy his fancy in a sale of the horses in each race, the horses
in each race being sold over and over again, and the buyers
of the winner have the money invested divided amongst them
less ten per cent. Tnese clubs have each to pay to the gov-
ernment the handsome "patente," or tax of $20,000 per an-
num.

Very often enormous stakes are won by laying out a very
few dollars, and I will give you three instances known to me. .
The first was when Lise Fleuron, by Sir Bevys, out of Lady
Langden won a good race in the beginning of July. I had
the pleasure of seeing a bank cleik buy fifty tickets on the
tiliy just before the race, and after the sums had been totted
up the return to backers came out to him at $1,200. This
pales before the retarn on Conspirator, a bay colt by Hun-
caster, out of Ashgrove, which just got home from Lise
Fleuron and half a dozen more on tbe next Sunday, for on
the colt there were only three hundred and two tickets — his
owner taking two hundred — the return to whom being just
over $25,000, or 125 to 1. Not bad odds, these, eh? How
much more the lucky owner won in the remate shops I have
not heard, but one young Argentine bought the colt in a sale,
as he said, just for fan, for $8, and he received $1,570. and
with pride was his receipt shown in the window of the "Casa
Hamate."

The native Argentine is a fair devil at betting, and is, taken
all round, a good sportsman in his way, and he likes to see
his dollars and those of his fellows flying around. One great
point I must not forget to record in the favor of the native
sportsman. At the races one never sees a drunken man or
woman, never hears bad language, never sees horseplay of
any Bort or kind, and any man can walk about with thousands
of dollars in his hat-band, and he will never have them even
bo much as looked at. Certainly they are the most honest
lot of sportsmen, from the highest to the lowest, in the way
I have named I have ever come across; though, mind you,
the native owners aod trainers quite understand running the
"bloods" to get weight off, and put the backing public off the
Bcent so that when the colt comes oat and wins, there are
few tickets on him, and they are the holders. In this way
they can be taught nothing. Some of them could have in-
formed the Durham-Chetwynd arbitrators what "the owner
in the cart" meant, and also what the meaning of "out for an
airing" and "not on the job" was.

To come to the "oeBeBs," old Bismarck looks very sorry a-
bout something or other, and is not the animal I saw in Eng-
land last year. Taking his running since June: I saw him
late in that month chop his field in a 1,000 metre r*ce, and
win in a walk, giving away lumps of weight. Two weeks
later he met Gloriation over 1,500 metres, and, starting a
worse favorite than the son of Speculum and Gloria, was
badly beaten; the betting being in the pools, about 5 to 4 on
Gloriation. Out he comes again on the following Sunday,
wins this time, over 1,000 metres, top weight, of course, and
giving away lumpB to others in the race, and amongst them
were some speedy horses. Then, again, one week later he
is pulled out for a 1.000 metre sprint, top weight, of course,
with sixty-three kilos., and runs fourth to one Colibri. as ug-
ly a beast as was ever saddled, and, moreover, a "MeBtigo,"
which signifies a seven-eighths bred horse. Bismarck, of
courBe, started a hot favorite. When he was at his worst in
England he could have given stones to those that beat him.
St. Mirin has never started, and never will, his legs being
the trouble; he is quite a cripple. Gay Hermit has won a few
races, but is now not carrying Bilk. Annamite is not of
much use here. Devilishoof, Prince Soltykoff's old horse, is
no good. It is painful to see him even try to gallop.

Out of all the imported horses that have raced before coni-
!dr to this country that I have seen, the only two that can be
called race-horses, having regard to what they did on their
native heaths, are Gloriation and Indecis, the latter a French-
bred colt by Androcles, out of Ione3. These two have not
yet met, but when they do there is sure to be a rare set-to
and a nice gamble to tbe result. The Frenchman has been
in this country much longer than Gloriation, but the latter
ia now thoroughly acclimatized and looks as well and bloom-
ing as he ever did.

As far as I have been able <o Bee and judge, tbe imported
horse that has raced to any extent before he sees these shores
is not of much good here, for they nearly all have a sort of
low fever on arriving, and it is six months before they are
fit to sport Bilk. The whole methods of training, living,
Stabling, feeding and climate are vastly different to what they

were accustomed to, aod in which they were reared. On
the other hand, those imported as yearlingsa id two year olds
become acclimatized, and their legs stand the fearfully hard
going.

Chivalrous is out here, and has been getting some good
winners. So has Phcenix, Lagrange's old horse. The cham-
pion three year old now is Kevalaeion, by Zanoni, out of Yol-
umnia, a colt bred in the country. He is a rare-backed colt,
and can both go and Btay. Mar'scal by Zanoni out of Prin-
cess Belle Belle, is another nice colli as is Monarqne by Tan-
cred out of Brunehaute- Amongst the two year oldB, and
there is a perfect cloud of them, is Remolacha by Zanoni, out
of Trifle, a filly as handsome as paint. Jefferson by Border
Minstrel out of Juliette is a nice colt. Of course there are
scores more; indeed in one two year old sprint two weeks
back were fifty-six entries.

Ia a race set down for December 15 next I read the follow-
ing entries: Fleur de Lys by Bend Or, dam Lily Agnes Or-
mande, Tissaphernes by Xenaphon, dam Twitter. The value
of the race is $3,000 to winner, 8700 to second and $300 to
third! distance 5,700 metres, or jost over three and a half
miles; three year olds 50 kilos., four year olds 60 kilos., five
and upward 63 kilos.

The native jookies would make your staff Btare. The na-
tive may know how to ride — stick on, that is., but I am sure
he oan't race ride. They have no idea of pace, and if it be a
five furloDg — I mean a $1,000 metre sprint — or a 2,500 metre
race, it is all the same to them. The moment the flag is
down away they go full bat, top-weights racing with featner-
weights from flag-fall to finish, or to the time tnat they have
Bhot their bolts.

The way they bit the horses is awful — not your racing
light snaffle, but a thumping great carriage-bit, with a curb-
chain one sees on the hard-mouthed coach-horse. So sharp
are these bits that the puniest of the boys can pull his mount
up in his stride almost. Touch the reins and up goes the
poor brute's head and open comes his jaws. Another differ-
ence between the native-trained horse and the English — the
former looks nncared for, and has not that gloss and sun-
shine in his coat that is seen when an English trained colt
steps out of tbe paddock. The native is a careless specimen
of horsekeeper and trainer. Another great fault I see here
Sunday after Sunday is the frequent and unnecessary use of
the whip, the native lads being passionately fond of using it,
and they do so on the slightest occasion.
There are only two that are at all sparing with the whip, and
tnese two, be it said to their credit, are Palacios and Diaz, the
negro humpback. These two rarely take up their whips, but,
as a rule, the instant the bend for home is negotiated, up go
nine whips out ofevery ten. As to finishingjthej7 do not know
what it means. Ooly last Sunday Marisoal, by Zanoni, out
of j Princess Belle Belle, was beaten on the post bv the
humpbacked jockey, on a crock of a thing, solely through the
lad on Mari=eal, which, though going free and well, and win-
ning in a canter, was tbe reeeiver-general of the moBt unmer-
ciful flogging I ever saw a colt receive. It stopped him, and
the "Bossu," riding like a demon monkey — and he can get
heaps more oat of a horse than perhaps any other jockey out
here — never touched his mount, bat Bimply won the race
through the other lad's too free use of the whip. As a con-
sequence, none of the horses in this part of the world seem
to have the slightest amount of life in them. Their very
walk is as lifeless as as the Gaiety stage door when the
Frenchees are in residence and the tarts are out. One never
sees a colt or filly clearing a ring with heels — not they, poor
devils, for they are galloped and trained; Sunday after Sun-
day they are raced aud flogged, when there is not the ghost
of a chance of even extending the leader.

The stakes are worth winning here, as you will see from
the followiog programme, which is set down for August 25:—

Ormonde Sails tor South America.

The Duke of Westminster's celebrated racehorse, Ormonde,
eails for Buenos Ayres to-morrow (Thursday), on the Elbe
from Southampton, says the Pull Mall Budget. He was
brought from Eaton Hall, Chester, to London yesterday, re-
maining the night at Mr. John Hetherington's farm at Crick-
lewood, where he had a special box, and was well cared for.
Mr. Hetberingtnn says Ormonde is in splendid condition and
form, and has never looked better in his life. He was taken
through London this (Wednesday) morning, and left Water-
loo station in the nine o'clock train, in a box constructed for
him, in charge of Hetherington's courier, Harry Burgess, who
is a most efficient man, and has taken a great number of
horses safely across the Atlantic for variouB people.

Before leaving Eiton Hall, Don Juan Bocau, the purchaser
of Ormonde, received the following certificate from Dr. E.
Cooper-Smith, the veterinary surgeon of the Chichester In-
firmary, which satisfactorily settles the question of the
hoiBe's phjsical condition:

Hollist Stud Farm, Midhurst, Aug. 13, 1889.

I, Edward Cooper-Smith, hereby certify that I have this
day, at tbe request of Captain Russell England, visited his
Grace the Duke of Westminster's stud at Eaton, and by his
Grace's permission thoroughly examined Ormonde, with a
view of ascertaining whether the temporary illneBS which the
horse had Buttered from during the stud season of 1889, left
any disease that would interfere with his future as a stallion.
I found no organic disease whatever, and tbe lungs, to which
my attention was particularly directed, were perfectly sound.
The horse has made rapid recovery from his recent illness,
and is now in perfect health and condition.

(Signed) Edw. Cooper-Smitu, M. K. C. V. S. L.

Ormonde was sold to Don Joan Bocau for tbe enormous
8um of £14,000, the largest amount, it is said, ever paid for a
horse; although it is true tbe Duke of Westminster paid the
same money for Doncas:er, Ormonde's grandfather. Doncas-
ter was sold to the Duke by Mr. Peck, who bought him from
Mr. Merry for £10,000. The next largest amount paid for a
horse was for Blair Athol, which brought £12,500 at Mr.
Blenkiion's mile.

Axtell bad not been sold when this article appeared. — [Ed.

Ormonde leaves behind bim several fine fo»ls, yearlings,
which are now at Eaton Hall, and do every credit to his foal-
getting powers. Don Joan Bocau has already sent over to
Baenos Ayres a batch of fifteen thoroughbred mares to be
mated with Ormonde, all of them the pick of tbe English
racing studs. Amongst tbem are Philosophy, Victorine,
Florida, Oberhof, Queen of the SDiith, and Lady Bountiful.
He is to be need entirely, when he arrives in South America,
for stud purposes.

Axtell 2:12.

The wonderful young stallion whose name ia now a
household word from the Atlantic to the Pacific was a badly
formed youngster, and as a yearling he was not considered
much. His hocks were the same as his sire, slighily curby
looking, and it was hardly thought thathe wouldever make a
trotter. However he has out grown many of his imperfec-
tions and tbe following is a description of him given by
Gnrney C. Gue:

The curby hocked yearling of two years ago has improved
in make-up and appearance almost as much as he has in
speed. To-day he is one of the best formed stallions from hia
nose to his hocks that I ever saw. Not only is his head
handsome when he is animated, bat his countenance is like-
wise the most intelligent imaginable.

The surprising breadth and fulness of forehead, tbe prick-
ed ears, and, above all, the inquisitive expression of the eyes
and the whole face, indicate an animal of far more than aver-
age intellect.;His neck is just the monld that one likes to see
on a stallion — of good length, and masculine in fullness with-
out being the least bit gross. His chest and shoulders, too,
are such as I never remember having seen a three year old
carry; remarkable in depth and fulness at the brisket, splen-
didly muscled, loosely laid and very well sloped. Hia mid-
dle piece is perhaps hiB best point, deep throngh the heart,
grand in its length, and hooped in by well sprung ribs, it in-
dicates most clearly the big feeder and hardy animal that Ax-
tell is. Over the back, loin and hips there is remarkable
ble breadth and power with all the smoothness of outline
when ib indicated in Whitney's sketch. His quarters and
strifles are massive and board, strangely so for a colt of his
age, and they plainly show where his propelling power comes
from. His hocks — it is too bad to say it, but they mar the
Bymmetry of an otherwise perfect form. They are not un-
sound. No man can say with truth that Axtell is curbed or
otherwise blemished at this point. The back tendon at the
curb place is aB clean as a whipcord in fact, but the side
bones of the hock extend so far back that one is almost ready
to swear at first sight that the colt is curbed. Then the joint
iB more than ordinarily angular, and just below it the cannons
have the appearance of being light, an effect caused by the
peculiar formation of the hock.

This is a tremendously speedy formation, but it is likewise
considered extremely dangerous and liable to curb. As yet,
however, and the most dangerous period of colthood is now
past, Axtell is without tbe unsightly enlargements. And
perhaps this is so because of the added strength given the
angular joint by the side bones extending back as far as" they
do. Otherwise, his legs are without defect or fault, strong-
jointed, good-boned, and remarkably free from evidence of
training. His feet are just about models in form, size and
texture, long at the toe, without being narrow, and open and
low at the heel. They are neither shelly nor spongy, but
dark, close-grained and dense.

With the single exception of his unsightly— not unsound
— hind legB, Axtell could scarcely be bettered in physical
structure.

Axtell is essentially a natural trotter. With bim the trot
is not an artificial gait, taught by patient and long continued
effort, after countless experiments with all sizes and shapes
of shoes and weights and boots known to the trainer's art.
It is as natural as the leap of the thoroughbred, and no ar-
tificial appliances of any kind are necessary in his ease. He
trotted his mile in 2:14 with only five-ounce shoes on his
fore feet and three-ounce ones behind, without even quarter-
boots for protection — dangerous business it would seem to
most people— aod wearing only hind shin and toe boots,
which are used more for protection than necessity.

His gait is, of course, very perfect. It must be to enable
a horse to trot in 2:12. He trots with his legs as tbe saying
is. his body scarcely moving out of a true line forward. His
knee action is bold without being excessive, and it is ahead
— no paddling. Behind he has not as much hock action as
many would like to see, Btealine along, Lady Thorn fashion,
without raising his feet very far above the ground. There
iB certainly no waste motion anywhere, but the secret of his
phenomenal speed, it seems to me, is to be found in the
lightning- light quickness with which the colt gathers and
strikes and recovers his stride, more than in any other pecu-
liarity of hie actiou. It is fairly electric in its rapidity, and
some day, when mature age has given Axtell the strength for
continued effort, it is going to be tbe cause of his going a
mile much closer to two minutes thau has ever yet been
done.

and the thoroughbred stallion Argyle by Monday.

During the early part of the week the Breeder and
Sportsman's Office was the place to find all the well known
horwemen of the btate. The rainy weather kept them from

any time, gentlemen, you are always welcome.

There are now four trottiog tracks at Berlin, Germany.

I made a mistake last week in saying that Carsey Winchell
had returned to Nevada, the gentleman who gave the infor-

J. N. Ayres Esq., of Visalia who has been well and favor-
ably known to all horsemen of California for many years
died on Thursday morning at the residence of his brother,
W W Ayres 605 Webster street San Francisco. The gen-

One never takes up an English paper without seeing that
some well known thoroughbred has gone wrong in his wind,
Ormonde, Fleur de Lis and a host of others. The last is the
crack horse of the year, Donovan. He is said to be a whist-
ler. Is it the climate, or io it in the breed? If in the latter,
we should be careful what we import.

The Australian stallioDs imported by J. B. Haggin are
proving that pedigree combined with performance is toe best
thing to breed to. Although the season is waning, Sir John
is daily increasing the admiration for the regally bred Sir
Modred, while Darebin's colts Bhow great promise here,
while in Australia the big brown's colts are gaining fresh
laurels for him every day.

On account of rain, the young association known as the
Farmington Trotting Park Association, will have to declare
all races off which was to take place on the 24-25-26th of this
month, whioh disappoints many of our horsemen, amongst
them being Mr. Rea, owner of the fast trotting yearling filly
Daisy L., sired by Lottery, he by George M. Patchen, dam by
Lottie R , she by Frank Hunter.

McMahan and Gowdy are the two gentlemen who run the
Rushville (Indiana) Gazette, and the following is their latest
wail: "We do hope the Californians will play fair with Palo
Alto in trying to beat Axtell's record. Likewise with Sunol
as a three year old."

A meeting of the directum ui mo Lodi TrottiDg Park was
held on Monday in Lodi, and arrangements were made by
which a lease was secured of sixty acres of land within half
a mile of Lodi. on which will be made a track. The work
of surveying and laying off the ground will commence next
week. The directors propose to incorporate under the laws
of the State.— (Stockton Independent.)

In another department Mr. K. O'Grady, who has handled
horEes for a long time at the Whipple Hamblefonian Stock
Farm, announces that he haB removed to the Laurel Creek
Farm, San Mateo County, where he has unusual facilities
for wintering hoises and giving them the best of care. Mr.
Grady is noted aa a first cIbss horse breaker and should
receive a large amount of patronage in hiB new place.

Mr. Huergo, the Secretary of the Buenos Ayres Jockey
Club, and Mr. Alberto J. Kratenstein, a well known owner of
horses at the same place, have arrived in England on a visit.
They think that the best horse in their country is Gloriation
at all distances about five furlongs, and spsak highly also of
the capabilities of Bismarck and Annamite. Gloriation is the
colt who won the Cambridgeshire as a three-year-old in 1887
with 104 pounds up in a field of twenty.

Harry Starr, the horse trainer, met with a painful acci-
dent Tuesday that will incapacitate him from work f«r sev-
eral weeks. While riding in a cart behind a colt he was
breaking, a companion driving at the same time, the animal
suddenly wheeled round, and both were thrown out, Harry
alighting in such a manner as to break his left shoulder
blade. He expressed himself as beiug afraid that he was also
hurt internally. — Register.

C. W. Williams has another great three-year-old in the
pacing filly Annie Dickinson by Lumps. She was not con-
sidered worth much of anything until Williams got her this
spring, but since then has rapidly improved, and her record
of 2:19;!- is said to be no measure of her speed. She 1b in foal
to the great Axtell. The produce of this union will be a colt
from trotting and pacing three-year-olds, with an average
rtcord of 2:153-.

This year's crop of foals at Waters' Stock Farm is said to
be the finest that this farm has ever produced. They are
fine individuals, one and all, and as to breeding cannot be
excelled. Mr. Waters says he will sell the entire lot before
the next year's crop grows up, and he means it, and those
who are on the look out for some highly bred young stock
should address Mr. Frank S. Waters, Genoa Junction, Wis.,
for a catalogue.

On Tuesday night the meeting of the executive commi'-
tee of the speed track committee was held at the Palace
Hotel. A. B. Spreckles, W. S. Hobart, C. W. Smith, and R.
T. Carroll were present. Owing to the incessant rains, it
was decided to hold the meeting on Saturday, November 2nd,
wl en Palo Alto, Sunol and Stamboul will postively start
against time, while Mr. ValenBin says Faustino by Sidney
will go against 2:38i, the yearling Btallion record of Von
Wilkea.

In G. G- Burnett's window at 327 Montgomery there is an
elegant oil painting of the cheBtnut stallion Encinal by Al-
teon*, dam by A. T. Stewart. The artist is G. J. Robin-
son, an exceedingly clever master with the brush, one who
thoroughly understands horse portraiture and his talent is
appreciated, as he already has several orders on hand to
produce likenesses of prominent horses. Encinal is owned
jby Mr. Charles Nathan, of Alameda, an enthusiastic horse
fancier.

,Goy Wilkes has now two three-year-olds with records of
2:18, which are faster than all other three-year-old recordp,
with the sole exception of Axtell's, 2:12, wnich latter horse
was got by William L., a full brother to Guy WilkeB. "We
will find anon," remarks Hark Comstock, "that the great
Wilkes family are not equal, any more than the Hambletoni
an family before them were equal. This pronounced lead
whioh the full brothers, Guy WilkeB and William L have
secured in three-year-old records is a subject worth reflecting
upon."

H. S. Hogoboom of Rohnerville, has purchased fiom E.
McLees of Vallejo, a handsome weanling horse colt by Nut-
wood, dam by Admiral, second dam by Ashland, he by Glen-
coe. Price private, Mr. Hogoboom has nlso bought from
Wm. Gardner of Sacramento, a weanling filly by Walstein,
dam by Tom Benton, second dam by McCracken's Black
Hawk. The new owner will take his purchases up to Hum-
boldt County, and add them to his already large string. Mr.
Hogoboom is one of our enterprising breeders, and is rapid-
ly accumulating a fine lot of well bred horses. He only buys
the best.

The word "talent" has become a fixture in racing terms,
and ic is now very largely used by turf reporters throughout
the country. The "talent" people are the professional fol-
lowers of racing that are supposed to know all about the
condition of the horEes, and they bet their money on their
knowledge of each one'B chances of winning. When one or
more of these professionals go into the ring and back a horse
he is pretty sure to be the favorite, and all of the "pike"
batters, "touts" and others follow the lead. If tbe horse
wins it is said the "talent hit them hard," and if he loses it
was a "dump."

Alcona 730 is stamping himself as a producer of speed, and
even his son, Alcona, Jr., is following suit. O. A. Hickok
has a son of Alcona at the Bay District Track that ought to
strike terror to the hearts of the green ones next year, for
even now he can show better than a 2:25 gait, and is one of
the improving kind. Alcona, Jr., is the Bire of Silas Skin-
ner, another green one that can trot in better than 2:24, and
there are several others yet to hear from. Mr. Martin, of
Yolo County, has a son of Alcona, called Clay Dake, that
got, a record of 2:31£ this season, and he will have no trouble
in lowering that next year. The Almont blood will be to the
fore in 1890.

The race track upon which Axtell's 2:12, the greatest stal-
lion record of tbe age was trotted recently, is a full mile and
Beveu feet over, says the Sporting World. All horsemen
are satisfied that it is a full mile track. An affidavat is on
file with J. H. Steiner, Detroit, secretary of the American
Asscoiation. and with secretary of the local associations, that
the distance is over a full mile Heney Sim ns and other well-
known horsemen with split second watches and standing un-
der the wire claim that the mile was made in 2:11}. Mr.
Williams, the owner and driver of Axtell, himself drove with
a watch, and claims 2:112. Col. Conley and associates are
very conservative and exact and all through the meeting their
time has been Blower than that of the spectators.

The report that the Marcus Duly Stable would return to
Montana to winter, has caused a great deal of comment a-
mong the knowing ones, for it was generally supposed that
the horses would be kept here this winter. Of course every
one has an idea of his own as to the cause of tbe return, but
the generally accepted thtory is that Lord Byron and Yolo
Maid are not up to expectations, and that both are liable to
be beat in any race in which they may start. It is only nat-
ural that those connected with tbe stable should have a cer-
tain amount of pride, but surely the theorists, must be wrong
in their surmiseB, for it is hardly probable that Mr. Quin'oj
would take the hortes back to Bitter Roo: Valley simply be-
cause a couple of them are "off."

The Boston Courier of last week says: "The racing at Bea-
con Park last week, was among tbe best we have seen m this
vicinity this season. In the 2:28 cUss The Seer, a four-year-
old stallion from Maine, aud R.D. F., a fast Boston five-year-
old, had one of the greatest battles ever witnessed on a
track. For four heats it was nip and tuck, and at the finish
of none of them, save the first, did a length separate these
two. The four-year-old made a gallant figbt, and is the fast-
er horse of the two and dead game, bnt the other won by be-
ing tbe steadier. Each got a mark of 2:24j, and The Seer
h&s now the honor of trotting the third fastest mile ever trot-
ted in New England by a four-year-old stallion. He was
bred in California by Senator Stanford, and was got by Gen-
eral Benton, dam by Electioneer; second dam a thorough-
bred. He was purchased in New York at the first sale of
Palo Alto colts for $300, but twenty times that amount would
not buy him now. He is owned by ex-Mayor Garcelon, of
Lewiston, Me."

The Melbourne cup, the great racing attraction of the An-
tipodes, will take place a week from next Tuesday. A pro-
nounced favorite is SilvertoD, a gelding, five years old, handi-
capped at 7 st 8 lb, the property of Mr. W. Bailey, of Bullar-
at, a real good sportsmin, and one of tbe old identities of the
golden days. Silverton was foa'ed in Tasmania, and is by
TheAssyiian, winner of the Melbourne Cop in 1882, when
tbe great handicap was only enriched to the modest extent of
500 sovs by the Victoria Racing Club. The Assyrian is by
tbe imported Countryman, by Stockwell — Village Lass, by
Pyrrhns I. His dam is Tinfinder, by Tarragon, a sou of
Newr Warrior (Imp), by Pyrrhns I., and out of Deceptive, by
Yelverton (Imp) — BloBsom, by The Swede (Imp). As a pub-
lic performer, Silverton has no great credentials. He was
three times a winner when a two year old, but unplaced the
following season, aud last twelve months was never in pub-
lic.

When ths rain ceased up a little after 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, says The Oakland Times, who should come driv-
ing up the avenue with his fine ping hitched to a sulky of his
own manafacture but Casey, tbe blacksmith. The animal
looked like a prize-winner every inch of him, as he stepped
with his beautiful gait up to Landegran's watering tioogh.
There was a disconsolate look in Casey's gray eyes as he saw
no other trotter in sight, and he was about to drive his grace-
ful beast into Landegran's sheltering shed, when, as lock
would have it, up dashes Johnny, the barber, with his trot-
ting colt Bucephalus. It wasn't two minutes before the two
horse-owners were chaffing each other on horse points. Then
the blacksmith made a bold bluff with a twenty-dollar pieoe
at the barber, and the razor-wielder astonished the by-stand-
era by covering the gold-piece for a race without any delay.
From East Berkeley to West Berkeley they raced forthwith.
The barber won the first heat by a length; the second heat
was declared a tie; the third heat tbe blacksmith won, and
darkness coming on, the horse owners winked at eaoh other,
as muoh as to say "neither of us can afford to lose the twen-
ty," and the great race was declared a "draw."

"Bookmakiog," said Horace Argn, the well known wes-
tern bookmaker, "has become merely gambling, with the ex-
ception that there is no percentage in favor of the house or
the dealer, as you might say. This has been the worBt year
yet on the bookmakers. Last Spring, here at Latonia, there
were over fifty applications, and thirty-two bookmakers on
the track. Now there are only twenty of us doing business.
You have no idea of the bookmakers that have 'busted' or
gone out of business, because the 'roll' has been exhausted.
There is no money now in books, because you have to give
such odds to get the play. None of the bookmakers have
made anvthing at Latonia, and it has been the same through-
out the country, except possibly at Saratoga, where the profit
was a litlla on our Bide. The money does not eeeni to be in
circulation. The pool-rooms are making more money than
the bookmakers. The daily expenses of a bookmaker will
average $150, and he haB only one track to play on. A pool-
room's outlay is not more than this, and it can get the play
on the races of five or six tracks. Yes, this has been a diaas-
terous season with the bookmakers, and many of them have
dropped out of the game. Some of the rest have been saved
by their interest in the pool-roomB."

Porterville Blood Horse Association.

This newly formed association held a fonr days' meeting
last week, and the Daily Enterprise says the town was crowd-
ed all the week, and although the attendance was hardly as
good as ai the inaugural meeting in July, yet the improve-
ment in management and general conduct was evident to
every one. The officials were: Judges— W. A. Hall, L. J.
Redtield and E. Jamieson. Timekeepers— G. W. Pressy and
L. J. Redfield. Starter— E. Jamiesou. Acting Secretary—
M. J. O'Clancy.

The first race was called up punctually at two o clock on
"Wednesday, thiee local two year olds turning out. Pools
sold Nellie Alta $5, Stella B $4 and Mesquit $2.

First Heat— After some little delay the horses started off,
Meso-uit having the pole. Hekept in the lead for the first half
mile, after passing under the [wiie for the first time Nellie
Alta forged ahead, the two, trotting neck and neckforthe next
quarter, where the little filly left him, coming in about a
length ahead, Nellie Alta being half a dczen lengths in the
rear. Time 3 K) I.

White claimed a foul on Bowers' crowding him to the out-
side of the track, bnt the judges decided upon examination
that there was ro foul.

Second Heal-S eM& B took the lead for a short distance, but
was headed by Nellie Alta, who put in some good work here,
but ber driver in coming to the homestretch, crossed in front
of Stella B;the driver of thatjhorse claimed a foul and tho race
was decided a dead heat. Mesqnit dropped out on the last
tarn of the first half, owing to the fact that his driver claimed
a foul on the part of "White in crossing his track and hug-
ging the pole. Time 3:04.

Third Heat— Considerable scoring was done in this heat
before a good start could be made, but when they got away it
could be seen that the race was for blood. Stella B started
off in the lead and kept it pretty much all through the race,
trotting in fine Btyle. with the other horses taking second
place alternately until the turn on the homestretch, when
Meequit, who had the pole, forged ahead, aod with Stella B,
putting on an extra spurt to get the lead, the sulkies collided,
with the result that two spokes of Mesqnit's sulky were
broken, causing him to give up the race, which, however,
his driver claimed on a foul, bnt the driving being veryshaky
all around, the judges decided in favor of Stella B winner,
Nellie Alta second, and Mesquit third. Time 3:06k

SUMMARY.

Two ypar old trotting for district colts. One mile, best two in
three . For the Pioneer Land Company's parse of $50.

at last they came under the wire with Alec on the inside and
Toots the outside of the track. Bounding the first bend Toots
forged ahead, keeping the lead until about a third of the dis-
tance, then Alec went to the front and stayed theje to the
finish, Toots second, and Claud Roy third. Time, 0:53.

Sicond Heat — The horses got a good start after consider-
able tcoring, Alec taking the lead and winning by a couple
of lengths, Claud Boy seoond, Toots third. Time, 0:53J.

Daily Scraps.

The Chronicle on Wednesday said: —

It is to be hoped that El Rio Key will recover. A two
year old colt with $46,835 to his credit this season onght to
live. As a three yearold he will sustain even better than he
haB done the prestige of California trotting stock, and Win-
ters, his owner, deserves better lock than to lose this prom-
ising colt after losing the Czar.

The Examiner on Monday quoted an article which stated
that E. J. Baldwin had entered a lot of yearlings for nest
year's American Derby. Is it possible that 'Lucky" is going
to run two year olds in the Derby?

The Report of Tuesday, after detailing all about the death
of El Rio Rey, says: —

El Rio Rey (the River King) was foaled June 16th, 1887, at
the El Arroyo Farm of Theodore Winters, in Sacramento
County, this State. His sire waB Norfolk, never beaten on
the turf; his dam was Marian, by Emperor of Norfolk.

Comment on the above is unnecessary.

The second race, like most running races, was short and
sweet, but very exciting while it lasted. Considerable time
was lost in starting, Baby being very fractious, so much so
that a standing start was agreed upon. Baby was a prime
favorite, first choice $10 to the other two $3 each, and did
not deceive her friends, as she took tkt> lead in both heats
and kept it, gaining the race, first heat in 52 seconds, and the
second in 53£ seconds. Queen coming in second. Bill Nye
was distanced in the first heat, owing to his coming into con-
tact with a post at the start and nearly throwing his rider.

THURSDAY.

The attendance at the race track was not quite so large as
that of the previous day, although the races themselves were
better. About two o'clock in the afternoon things were liv-
ened up a little by the tail end of a sand storm which played
merrily through the whiskers of the grand stand and whistled
about the buggy wheels in style quite difficult for ub to illus-
trate; however, that did not seem to make much difference to
the assembled crowd and did not prevent them from losing a
dollar now and again.

FIRST RACE.

First Heat— After considerable scoring the horses started
off, Mabel having the pole. Before reaching the first quar-
ter, Richard K. forged to the front, keeping his position until
near the homestretch, when Solano put on a spurt and came
under the wire a couple of lengths ahead. Mabel broke soon
after starting, and could not be got to work in time to save
her distance. Time, 3:11.

The two succeeding heats were won by Solano Chief in
3:06 and 3:05^.

FRIDAY.

The attendance at the track yesterday was about equal to
that of the previous day, but the excitement was much high-
er, owing to the qnality and fame of the horses. It was 3
o'clock before the first race on the programme was run.
owing to the fact that on the first start Toots fell crushing
his rider. The horses had gone off on a false start, and
just as they were on the homestretch and within thirty feet of
the wire a cur essayed to run across the track but Toots was
upon him in a twinkling, falling heavily forward. Being at
his highest speed, he turned a complete somersanlt, falling
full on his rider, Fred Manion. The horse rose unhurt, bnt
the jockey was senseless. Wi'ling hands were soon attending
to the poor fellow and restoratives were administered by Drs.
Whitlock and Chapman, he was then place! in a carryall
and driven to town. Some time naturally elapsed ere the
race was started, but when it did it was very ex-nting.

First Heat— Considerable delay occurred ere this heat was
run on account of Claud Roy and Toots being fractious, but

Great Trotting.

Lexington, Oct. 15th.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — A very large crowd
witnessed the trotting at the meeting of the Trotting-Horse
Breeders' Association to-day. The track was good and the
weather clear and cool. The postponed 2:30 purse was won
by Pocahontas Prince, and the stake for four-year-olds by
Repetition. The event of the day was the §5,000 stake for
the "twenty" class. Nelson was favorite, with Alcryon and
Jack selling even up for second choice. To the great sur-
prise of all Jack won in straight heats, with each heat closely
contested. The two year stake was won by Dr. Sparks. The
2:24 class trotted three heats when darkness forced a post-
ponement.

It is reported that W. H. Crawford, who bought the two-
year-old colt Constantino for $20,000 on Saturday, will start
him against A xt ell's two-year-old of record of 2:23 if he can
get a good day and track. If not, he will take him to Califor-
nia to beat Sunol's two-year record of 2:18.

Men "Who Hun Horsea.

Some men run horses for the sport, some for money, and
some for notority; and some for both sport and money says
St. George in Sports ABeld. Then there are those who want
both money and notoriety. I am sorry to say that there are
bnt few now living who race for the sport alone. I believe,
however, that Governor Bowie, of Maryland, is one of this
kind, and the late R, A. Alexander, of Kentucky, was also
one. And I have no hesitation in saying that the late John
Harper would have raced all his life, even if he had known
at the commencement that he would never win a race. But
there are a large number of men on the turf to-day who race
for nothing else bnt the mooey. In this list I shall place the
most prominent ones, and they are: E. J. Baldwin, the
Dwyers, and the Chicago Stables. These I don't believe care
a fig for either sport or notoriety. They are longing for the
merry ring of showering coin — for the applacse that the dol-
lar brings — and nothing more. Those who are racing for
notoriety are but a few. They are: August Belmont, J. B.
Ha gin, "W. L. Scott, Freddy Gebhart and George Hearst.

By far the largest list of turfmen consists of those who are
racing for both money and sport. This latter class commence
at the business early in life, and make a study of it; and
they do better with a little money than those who are seeking
notoriety do with a great deal. For instance: Last year Sam
Bryant won the Fnturity and had only one entry— and a $400
horse at that— while Haggin, the Dwyers, and Belmont had
each from $30,000 to $40, 0t 0 worth of horsea in the race;
while this year tbe old negro trainer, Bob Campbell, won the
Junior Champion with a cheap horse — contending against
thousands upon thousands of dollars and large stables of
high-priced horses in tbe hands of those who commenced
racing late in life, and who were out for notoriety. And it
strikes me that the old dFtrkey showed more senatorial horse
sense in buying Protection for $500 than did George Hearst
when he bought King Thomas for 840,000.

The auction sale of trotting stock belonging to the estate of
the late General Wm. T. Withers, took place at Lexington,

We Can't Keep Still.

Brother Baker says in the Rural Spirit:— We have kept
still a good many times heretofore when we have seen glaring
turf errors in the Oregonian, but two issues of that paper
last week must call for some censnre. In its account of the
free-for-all trotting race at Walla Walla, it says that Colonel
Bradshaw won one of tbe beats in a "canter." The idea of
a trotting rece winning a heat in a "canter!" Shades of de-
parted Harnbletonian, look down upon us! The judges of
that race should sue the Oregonian for malicious libel.

And ihen when Axtell troited in 2:12 last Friday and gave
the eloquent man a chance to «ay something nice, it had to
'put both feet in it again. The head of the article reads:
'Kim* of theTorf— Axtell lowers tbe mile trotting record."

Now, Axtell is probably the greatest stallion and three
year old livi. g, but we will wager that Jay Eye See, Guy and
St. Julien won't feed well for a week when they hear that
Axtell is proclaimed kiug of the turf, and that mare named
Maud S. and owned by a man named Bsnner will fret herself
to dpath if he tells her* that somebody said Axtell lowered the
mile trotting record.

In the same article the Oregonian reme.rks that "two min-
utes and twelve seconds is a great feat for an aged horse at
any gait," etc. We don't know exactly, bnt think there miint
be somewhere near a half million horses that can go a mile
in 2:12 at any gait.

We don't want to be h&rd on oar friends, , but sncl
as the above cannot go unheeded. The risin
would be getting off wrong in the horse busin

Yon have one consolation, Mr. B*»ker, andtb .
land papers are no worse and no better than tL
co dailies.

THE KENNEL.

Dog ownerB are requested to send for publication the earliest possi-
ble notices of wbelps, sales, nameB claimed, presentations and deaths
In their kennels. In all instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dateB and breed.

In speaking of the rabies scare, and criticising the muzzling
regulations now in effect in London and one or two provin-
cial towns in Eagland, Pendragon, in Referee, refers to the
number of dogs which run loose in continental cities with
ne'er a muzzle to worry their lives, and admonishes the
"hydrophobia nmzzlors" in this wise: "Anyway, there can't
be much pluok left to the English if they all feel the blue
fnnk about a few harmless dogs which has caused the Privy
Conocil and its imitators to rush forth with muzzling orders
— while the presumably far less brave Maltese, Milanese or
Sinhalese, Turk, Arab or Egyptian has four or five times as
many dogs in proportion, all of them four or five times as
wild as English dogs, under a sun four or five times as hot as
an English sun, and yet will not allow himself to be fright-
ened out of his wits on the great dog question by a score or
two of half-frantic cowards."

The St. Bernard Baron Truro has been purchased from Mr.
Shillcock, of Birmingham, England, by Mr. Miller, of St.
Louis, also thorough bitch Lady Perry, the latter in whelp
to Lord Bute, considered the largest St. Bernard living.
There seems to be a striving after size in these dogs at the
expense of type just now in this country. This would be a
pity if persisted in. Type and quality must be the first con-
sideration, and let the giants come after. We know they
take on the show bench and help to sell paps, but this won't
do if we lose the main characteristics of the breed. It strikes
one, from recent importations, that the English breeders do
not seem to attach that importance to the shorter head which
the standard calls for, and certainly the diversity of winning
types is bewildering, to say the least, and we believe they ad-
mit as much.

Mr. E. H. Moore is still pushing ahead with his kennel,
having secured another good one. Turf, Field and Farm
says he has now imported from Mr. J. F. Smith, of Sheffield,
England, the rongh St. Bernard bitch Lady Miles. She is by
Champion Plinlimmon, out of Leonora by Champion Leo-
naret. Lady Miles is in whelp to that noted dog, Keeper.
Mr. Moore tells us she is a very fine, large bitch, orange,
with perfect white markings. Mr. Smith advanced the
opinion she could beat that lovely bitch Saffron easy, and if
she can beat her at all, Mr. Moore ought to be proud of his
purchase. We are glad to see so many good bitches comiDg
over. Surely, breeders now have their eyes open, and have
found out that the bitch has something to Bay in the matter
of good pups.

The following is said to have occurred at a recent show in
the East:

First Exhibitor— Are you showing in this class?

Second Exhibitor — No.

First Exhibitor — Then you might lead my dog.

Second Exhibitor— Certainly. (Leads dog into the ring )

Judge (examines the dog, which is mangy) — Take that dog
out of here.

Second Exhibitor (laughing)— It's not my dog.

Judge — Whose dog is it?

Second Exhibitor— It belongs to Mr.

Judge— Oh, just leave it, then.

After judging, the above dog was found among the money.

Cursory Discussion on Exhibits, Juderes and
Kennel Management.

So numerous are the men, who for five minutes — there or
thereabouts— have shown dogs successfully, and thereupon
burst forth as critics, connoisseurs and judges of dogs, in a
light a0 resplendent with their own consequential airs,' as to
utterly daze the more unpretentious authorities, that an ex-
amination of their real position will probably have the desired
effect on the present state of my very obstinate liver. Agents
for Carter and Beecham, pause ere you enter mv 'sanctum;
if not, yonr blood be on your own heads. However, to these
would be "Konnoshers," Brittle in Turf, Field and Farm.

Many there are who have commenced their doggy career
with one or two specimens, without any idea of their value
and had the good fortnne, or, perhaps, misfortune, to gain
prizes with theEe their first efforts in the niyslic realms of com-
petition. To such, success, coming as it does in the way of
pleasant surprise, is generally a calamity, for they then and
theic are metamorphosized into that state which creates a
competency to differ with the opinions of acknowledged au-
thorities. Have not their dogs won prizes? Therefore do
not their dogs possess all the attributes essential to the bread
and living as they do, with theBe paragons of the show bench'
is it not too ridiculous for them to be unable to distinguish
the perfection of their pets? This ia where success becomes
a misfortune to the prosperous tvro; he look* upon the es-
sential points from one standard; that standard the fac-
simile of his own imperfect dog. For such a hero has Ponto
become in his master's estimation, that Ac is the one doe of
all others that exhibitors and jadgeB are envious of; and when
poor Ponto undergoes the most trying ordeal of oompetine

off with oak boarding an inch thiok half way up, the rest the
very strongest wire netting, smallest mesh, made in Btrong
wooden frames. The compartment tor two dogs was six feet
wide by ten long, and each had a small door letting into the
other, so that the man could clean everyone of them out,
from beginning to end, without interruption. These com-
partments were on each side of the building, and had a walk
about five feet wide in the center. But, without going into

Visits.

trades, business, professions, or what not, are mostly those

who have gone to the bottom, in order to find out how to get

to the top; and generally those who have been placed at the
top, and for a time able to float there, have floundered most

wofully, when a slight undercurrent has carried them from

that channel which has been their only known course.
The above statement is as applicable to the man who would

own and become a judge of good dogs as to one in any other

sphere of life. From these remarks, it will be gathered I ad-
vocate buying bad dogs in order to obtain knowledge con-
cerning good one. Thisisnotquite what I intend to convey,

for it would be no use in a man buying that which he knows

to be bad; but what I do mean is, let a man buy what he

thinks is a good one, without auyone else's opinion, and if it

does not prove a failure more's the pity, as self conceit and

vanity will then obliterate what might otherwise have become

an acquisition to canine lore. As an instance of the doctrines

which I am but vaguely trying to infuse into readers, is that

of two men, who, for five years competed unsuccessfully in a

certain variety, but for the last filteen years have bred more

winners and noted dogs than all the other exhibits put

together, and this in a breed which has the keenest competi-
tion. It is a single example of a fixed determina'ion to over-
come all reverses being" rewarded, though I should think

every man who is looked upon as a "genuine" authority on

the other side, has by such reverses at the commencement of

his career so built up his reputation.
I have written to this length with the hope of impressing

those, whose first acquaintance in showing dogs was gaining

a prize, that they must not be carried away with their success

and jump at the conclusion they themselvts are authorities.

Nothing can be so fallacious, and nothing so mars them in

the eyes of those who do know, as that eager anxiety to dis-
play their (want of) knowledge.

A real good jndge is never anxious to denounce a good

dog's defects unless compelled, for they all have them, and it

is his desire to try and shut his eyes to such. A bad judge

is always looking for faults, which he 'unhesitatingly pro-
claims, that is, if they are faults which can be easily perceived

and are conspicuous. The good one, on the contrary, looks

for the good qualities first, and ia doing this, comes across

the defeots. No man can hope to be an authority except by

long acquaintance and direct association, not only with dogs

themselves, but with those who have the knowledge; and he

knows most whose association with both has been the most

limited, for the man who is an authority is always anxious to

learn.
As this is written in direct opposition to the "infallible,8'

further proof of my evident lunacy is unrequired by them;

but to those that are not unwilling to accompany me in my

ravings, I will give what knowledge I have gleaned as to the

moat desirable way to honse dogs.

To start with, tnere are dogs and dogp; some are large and

antagonistic; some are large and companionable: Borne are

medium sized and bon camaracles; some are the same size

and opposed to one another; some are small and wouldn't

hurt a worm; while others of equal magnitude belong to a

vendetta which has sworn to exterminate its living kind,

irrespective of relationship.
In building or starting a kennel all these little proclivities

must be considered. If one is going in for a breed that

knows not internals fends things are pretty simple, but if one

desires a breed whose sole ambition is to wipe itself from off

the face of the earth, then things are. slightly complicated. I

was the fortunate owner of a breed whose docility and

aptitude evidenced itself by a playful desire to occasionally

chew up its next door neightor at the Blighest opportunity,

but in spite of this "homicidal" tendency, I still look upon it

as the breed of all others, though it was a little inconvenient

for one's wife and self to get up in the middle of the night, in

the depth of Winter, and rush in our nocturnal garments to

thekennels, because we thought "Johnny" was killing "Tom;"

but no matter, "desirable kennels" is my intent, not Johnny's

and Tom's thirst for each other's gore. Of course the most
important component to a man's kennels is the dog, and, I
will presume, the breed Belected to be of a social and non-
mutilating disposition, and the dimensions of a good, sub-
stantial building, free from draughts, perfectly waterproof,
devoid of all damp and faoing the South, to have been erected
Having got so far, and the owner assured of all absence of
damp, draughts, etc., I will take a peep at the internal ar-
rangements. These should be of the very simplest and free
from any corners and crevices, which will impede the kennel
man when performing his matutinal sweep. If there be
such an impediment, won't the man find it out and so let
all offensive matter accumulate whereever this opportunitv
offers?

In fact the flooring should be a perfectly smooth surface,
sloping from the two sides to the centre, under which a
drain must be laid. As to the flooring there is great diversity
of opinion, but for myself, I prefer concrete. Wood, espec-
ially in the case of puppies, soon becomes saturated and con-
sequently unhealthy Bricks also absorb moisture, therefore
let the floor be concrete. The benches, I would have in one
continuous line, the whole length of the building, two feet
from supports as possible, for these are also hiudrances to
cleaning out; as much light from the roof qb possible; avoid
windows, no matter now high above the benches. Have a
cupboard in which to keep disinfectants, etc., and a rack, at
right angles to the benches, with collars and chains, ready
for show purposes; a couple of heavy square pans at each
end for water; heavy enough not to be knocked over; feeding
arrangements according to convenience, but a proper boiler
under a fair sized shed, which can be locked securely is an
almost necessity, and a great saving, no matter how Bm'all the
kennel; but let it be away from where the dogs can get at it
In this oountry I should think artificial heat is required in
the winter. A paddock, protected from the north and east
winds is a sine qua non, the dogs being allowed there all day,
with the doors of the builrting open, bo that they can go in
and out at will. This ought to be sprinkled with lime and
dug up twice a year; if not, a chronic state of eczema will be
the result. The bnilding lo be thoroughly swept and disin-
lected every morning when the dogs are let out. Plenty of
clean, dry straw twice a week and an examination of every
dog as often. Clean water every morning, and the feeding
dishes and cooking utensilB cleaned after every time used
My arrangementB of a bench each side of the bnilding with
just a couorete floor with a drain in the center, is about as
simple as I can think of; but a man who goes in for the less
socially-inclined breeds would have to go to far more expen-
sive and elaborate details.

One of a sex of the terriers I kept were allowed to sleep
together and being on the small side of canine varieties, they
bad the luxury of a box to sleep in. I found it necessary also
to have three paddocks 60 feet by 50, securely railed off, eight
feet high, with strong fencing five feet high, so that the
belligerents could not see one another. This quarrelsome

The Toledo, Ohio, Show has just been held, and seem-
ingly wa6 a great success. It was interesting, especially as
regards the non-sporting section, for a new judge making his
appearance This was Mr. H. W. Lacy, the kennel editor of
the Turf, Field and Farm. The Stock Keeper says Mr.
Lacy is an Eaglishman, who has been in the States Beveral
years. We believe he is a native of Yorkshire. His awards
were well received, as were -*Fonest John Davidson's'' in the
sporting division.

Judge C. N. Post, of Sacramento, sends these notes:
I am enjoying that health usually vouchsafed to the virtu-
ous poor. There is an error in th^ article on California Ken-
nel that ought to be corrected. Duke's winnings are given
as occuring in the SO's instead of the 60's as they should.
I have had two shoots over Sirius ond Sunlit, and they make
the finest brace I ever saw; to my utter surprise Lit makes a
fine cover dog, hunting quite nicely to the gun and not rang-
ing too far.

Old Sweetheart has gotten around well enough so as fo
take her out for a little hunt. I let her run about three
hours. She came in blinking her eyes solemnly, and I saw
that something was the matter, which something I soon as-
certained wbb that one of the pods of one of her feet was
worn through. She followed along at heel for awhile, but if
one of the other dogs would "feather" in the least, out she
would go to try get a point on birds that the other dogs had
found. She will always hunt in front of my companion in
preference to hunting for me of late years, for the reason that
with a stranger Bhe can break shot or do any other villain-
ous act without getting punished forit. Sheis very cunning,
and it is amusing to watch her.

While out with me the other day, she made one of her wide
casts into some cover and was gone five or ten minutes,
meanwhile I was waiting in a vineyard for her. I whistled
to no purpose, and as I intended changing the direction I
was hunting in, I waited for her. After a while I saw her
whi»e face peering over a rise in 4he ground, and I whistled
for her to come. She dashed off to quarter on ahead of me,
but I commanded her to come in. She started towards me,
and came a short distance and then turned a little to one side
of me and commenced drawing as though on scent, of which
there was none there, and after drawing past me for about 30
yards and getting behind a bush, she cut out like the Devil
for the other side of the field, huntiug as merrily as possible;
Bhe deliberately began drawing so as to prevent me from
punishing her for ranging away so far, and for no other pur-
pose. She is a cunning old jade, to be sure,

Nick White has been hunting. Nick bad his choice Gor-

self the pleasure of going, however, on her account. A few
days before he went he told me that he thought of going, bup
that he was afraid his puppy would not enjoy it. I asked
him if Bhe was gun-shy, and he said no, but that she was not
used to being tied up, and that to put a ohein and collar on

THE GUN.

A Ridiculous Decision.

California is not the only State wherein petty judges are so
ignorant of law that it seems impossible to get a just deci-
sion. The following letter, written to the American Field, ig
a fair sample of bow magistrates dispense justice in matters
pertaining to the game laws in Illinois: —

Editor American Field: — Thinking that a number of the
readers of the American Field have been on the lookout for
an article regarding the outcome of suits for violation of the
game laws, especially prairie chickens in this State, I give a
synopsis of a deoision rendered by a Justice of the Peace at
Sterling, 111., the forepart of this month, and also a synopsis
of the law covering tho point in question, with a view to
having each reader form his own ooinion of the justice of
said decision; and more especially would I like to have some
Bportsman of Sterling call the attention of those intending to
shoot chickens next season on the strength of this decision,
to the law. (They will not be bard to find.)

It appears a farmer discovered a number of prairie chickens
in a wagon near bis place some days before the open season,
in which were also three hunters, and calling his son as wit-
ness c*me into Sterling and made complaint against one of
the party (a market shooter), and the case was set for trial
Borne time in September. It excited no little interest, as I
Lave been informed a great number of the so-e-tlled sports-
men (a number of them members of the gun club) had quite
a large score to their credit, dating from August 15th, and
naturally felt quite anxious as to the result.

In rendering his decision, the Justice says: It has not been
proven conclusively which, one of the party killed the chick-
ens, and as the lav Btates it is unlawful to have in possession
birds that have been entrapped, netted or ensnared (does not
provide for birds killed) n<3 would have to find for the defen-
dant, or words to that effect. Let us see what the law does
say:

Section 1. "That it shall be unlawful for any person or
persons to hunt, pursue, kill trap, net or ensnaie, or other-
wise destroy, any pinnated grouse or prairie chicken between
the first day of Novdtnber and the 15th day of September, and
any person so offending shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor, and, on conviction shall be fined not less than §5 or
more than $25.

Sec. 2: "It shall be unlawful for any person to buy, sell,
or have in possession any of the birds mentioned in Sec. (1)
of this act, at any time when the trapping, netting or ensnar-
ing of such birds shall be nn'awful, which shall have been en-
trapped netted or ensnared, contrary to the provisions of this
act; and it shall further be unlawful for any person or per-
sons at any time to sell or expose for sale, or to have in his
or their possession for the purpose or selling, any prairie
chicken, etc , that shall have been caught, snared, trapped or
killed within the limits of the Sta'e, knowing the same to
have been sold; or to transport, carry or convey the same to
anv place outside of this State for any purpose.

Seo. 7. 'Exceptions — The having or being in possession
of any such birds as are mentioned in Sec. (1) tipin any of
the days upon which the killing eufrapDing, ensnarling, net-
ting, buying, selling, or having in posession any snch birds,
sha'l be unlawful by the provisions of this Act, shall be
deemed and taken as prima facie evidence lhat the fame was
ensnared, trapped, netted, or killed in violation of the Act."

How such a decision was rendered, is beyond my compre-
hension. In Sec. 2 it will be noticed the word "killed" is
omitted, and is the only opening for such a decision, but cer-
tainly of reading Se*c. 7, one's comprehensive powers must be
limited to decide that birds shot or killed and found in
possession, is not unlawful.

In conclusion I would say, if the game warden for that dis-
trict has a little ?pare time during the month of August next
year, I can safely say he could not nse it to better advantage
then by paying a visit to sr-me of the "game hogs" of Sterling.
Why can't we have justice? Nameski.

Notes for Sportsmen-

The Times Gazette, of Redwood City, under the new man-
agement, devotes some of its space each week to notes about
matters pporting, and the following is clipped from that pa-
per:—

The County of San Mateo, owing to its proximity to the
metropolis, is frequented by more lovers of nature and true
sportsmen than any other county in California. lis creeks
which empty into the ocean and its lakes and reservoirs afford
delightful sport for the disciples of Tzaak Walton, and its
grand hills, woods and canyons, as well as the sloughs and
marshes on the bay side, are frequented by local and metro-
politan Nimrods, who nearly always find good shooting,
varying according to the season. Deer are found on the hills
and in the canyons, quail are plentiful, dove shooting usnal-
ly good; duck, rail, curlew, plover and snipe abound in tbe
marshes — and taken all in all, considering bow easy of access
our sportiDg grounds are from the centre of population,
among sportsmen San Mateo County is the most popnlar sec-
tion in the State. Railroad travel is cheap, our country roads
are the best in the State, hotel and Btable accommodations in
our towos and villages are ample, stages connect daily with
the railroad, the sceneTy is grand and the climate is delight-
ful. In fact, there is everything here lo invite the citizen of
the metropolis who is wearied from work.

Frank Pettis and Henry Kreiss killed a fine deer on the
Gilbert ranch, above \Vood6ide, on Sunday last. It weighed
when dressed 147 pounds. This is the forty-seventh deer
that Mr. Pettis has killed in thiBState.

The montLly cross-country run of the Olympic Club of
San Francisco, takes place at Millbrae to-morrow. Lunch
will be provided at Jim Coibett's new resort.

Deer are seen frequently in the gulches about Woodside
and Searsville. On Tuesday last, George Eikerenkolter se-
cured two.

The duck season has scarcely begun. Yet good bags are
being secured ofien. Night shooiing has commenced on the
marshes aud blinds are already being constructed.

In the article in Sunday's Examiner, the marshes about
this place and Menlo Park are said to be a good field for
duck shooting, especially after the second rain, as tbe birds
are feeders and eisy to shoot Tbe artiole also speaks of the
vicinity of Redwood as one of the finest "all round" Bhooting
grounds in the State.

Nnmeroos hunters have been seen about here of late. Tbe
cloudy weather haa evidently "drawn" them to the marshes
to hunt teal and widgeon.

The small lakes and lagoons in this vicinity where wild
game is usually vevy plentiful after the first heavy rainB are a
good plaoe for hnntei-) to go for a day's sport. Hooper's,
naar Regrgyilje, and. Flood's, nearM^ulo, may bo ro*nti.?o?o\

Now for tbe quail! Repair to the hills, ye nimrods, and re-
turn laden with the wily game. They are plentiful.

On an early morning ride to Woodside and Searsville cot-
tontails in abundance may be seen. This game makes pal-
atable eating and would well repay the hunter for a morn-
ings tramp.

Two white quail were shot in the foot-hills back of Menlo
Park on Sunday last, by James Bass and Leslie Moore, em-
ployees at Senator Stanford's Palo Alto farm. There is no
record of white quail having been shot in this vicinity before,
and the specimens are prized highly by tbe hunters.

S. E. Felix, a Menlo Park nimrod, while hunting on the
Martinez ranch, killed the largest deer of the season, weigh-
ing 150 pounds.

VIII.

When anything a little out of the common has been fairly
done, there is more or less of a glow of satisfaction tingling
throughout the system. Ooe may be wearied all over witn
the effort and yet bask in the sweet rewards won from one*s
own self by reason of the good deed done. And here, possi-
bly 7150 feet nearer heaven than ever we may climb again,
there was a glow in the Pilgrim heart, aprond swelJingof the
chest and a lofty mental joy, because of difficulty overcome
and promised reward at hand. The heart of the Sierras, here
it is; and tike all hearts, not altogether unattractive and for-
bidding, but dotted with beauty spots. These meadows, as
they are called, are Bimply glades of more or less width and
measurably level, which have dropped in wherever the
mountains draw apart a little, to border some purling little
brook. They abound with a coarse, wide-bladed, but nutri-
tions natural grass which is eagerly Bought by stock: and
there is also an abundance of tiny leaved wild clover. Thick
around the ed^es of these openings are lofty tamaracks,
stnrdv and symmetrical, which, as the hillsides are reached,
give way to balsam fir and bull pine. Seen from any height
these meadows with their fringing trees, wear all the shades
of green. They rest the eyes, control the wandering gaze
and delight ell the senses. From them on either side, can be
seen a world of timber, and rising above all, the bare mouot-
ain tops; now bleak with tbe chill of a coming storm, now
radiant io sunlight; first to welcome the coming day, bold
black statues in the darkest night.

The meadows are all owned and used by their owners, or
leased for grazing purposes. There is a kinship and courtesy
among cattlemen, whereby a hungry man need not fear a
brand, provided he will keep correct aocount of necessary
scalps, and at first opportunity account for the slaughtering
Certain of the Pilgrims were on terms with cattle owners, so
for tbe good of the order fresh meat was speedily found in the
larder. Roast calf's h<=ad a la Pilgrim is not altogether bad,
and here is one way of getting it: Dig a hole, not too deep,
bnt deep enough, and kindle a tire ntar by, which shall pro-
duce abundant glowing coals. After a little put a deep bed
of coals in the hole. Then place the head, neck down, upon
the glowing mess. Cover the face with a wet sack and then
nearly till the hole with coals. After this carefully fill with
dirt, patting it down until no emoke can possibly come
through, so as to prevent all air getting in. Leave this to
fret and s'zzle UDtil the nest morning, when there will be a
dish dainty enough for Mrs. Vnlcan, nee Venus. The Pil-
grims all affirm — choosing not to swear— that this dish should
ba dedicated to the great unknown who invented potted
beans, as there are like strokes of genins in each application
of fire.

In the meantime supper became due and the account was
royally paid. Not that the Chaplain over ate, for he was
nioder-ite in all things, but from some untoward complica-
tions, for the first time in all this long journey, he was heard
to growl. And this was the burden of his plaint, "My dog-
goned shirt don't fit." It was at first supposed that from the
reduced outward pressure, due to the lightness of the air, he
might perhaps have swollen and the more timid feared that
he might keep on and go burst, but he fortunately held to-
gether and is still intact to the great joy of his comrades.
Some personal repairs became necessary after the long up-
ward climb. For example, the Electrician naturally long of
limb, seemed from the unwonted horseback exercise to tave
become alarmingly legged. He was laid out with his feet
against a tree, a riata fasted around his waist and then on
tbe feet end, but at a safe distance, the united party surged
upon the rope until he came together in a very happy man-
ner. The Enthusiast also had his misfit. His growl had
been a wonderment that in such a delightful country, the
water should be so beastly warm. A bubbling mountain
stream was found and he of statistics discovered its tempera-
ture to be 43 degrees. Says the Enthusiast. ' Warm as usual
I suppose?" "Yea." "Well, I shall have to drink Borne any-
way. I'm parched." "Eh; O, golly!" — gurgle-te-gurgle-te-
gurgle.

From here all along to the destined summit and but slight
distances apart, can be found there cooling springs, feeding
the little brooks which in turn swellthe mighty river. Theie
is one log cabin io this meadow, used in summer time by
whomever cares for the catlle on tho range. These caltle are
in tine condition, a good grade of Short-boms, and what is
remarkable for the mountains, appear very gentle. The
c*mp was visited by a well known resident of this county,
who all this time was located not far away with bis stock.
With a laudable burst of hospitality tbe Sub-Deacon treated
the gentleman to some cigars imported from Bakersfield. It
is said the guest wished be hadn't and has since sworn eff
smoking cigars. Thus unwittingly and sometimes by the
vilest agents, are bad habits amended and perchance com-
plexly overthrown.

Two years ago some of this party were in this meadow, and
one of the gang — a noted runner — started across the green
sward for a stroll. The cattle at first lifted their heads and
looked after him with that calm bovine air which seems to
denote only mild surprise. Bnt instead of bowing back to
graps, one moved forward a little, then another and another,
until the whole herd was iu gentle motion. This quick
became a pace, a rnn, a rush. Now, Mr. Sprinter, the rhiliB-
tines be upon ye, speed an never before! Long before tbe
horsemen could gather to the rescue, the fnrioos, bellowing
herd was close upon its victim. And he? Never before was
there such need for trained muscles aud sound wind; never
before race run by him for stake such as this. With clear
head and steady nerve he ran for his life, reaching and jnst
in time bounding into the friendly protection of a rnpged
reef of rock. And there winded but winner, he wn-i kept a
close prisoner until rescued by mounted men. He has
reformed, and takes no more strolls among lowing herds. He
says he has had emngh, and perhaps for this frank admis-
sion, may be excused npon his own recognisance. Bnt if
the ancient Romao* only had him (era season, he would
royally amuee many a cpuj$ly r)arnft,

"Woodcock.

There has been a great argument about the difference be-
tween European and American woodcock. In a letter to
Forest and Stream about a shooting trip io Sweden Marstraud
says:

The other day, when shoo inppartridg.'s in the Province of
Delacarlia, Sweden, my good dog Nero came to a dead halt in
a clomp of bushes by the reedy lake shore. Nero was facing
me, and as I walked towards bim a large lird Hew up between
us and went tumbling along through the air in it* drunken
flight. It was an easy shot in the open, and at the r^jort the
bird fell dead, riddled through and through. A woodcock it
was, to be sure, but not the merry brown bean'y of America,
Its wings were longer, and more pointed, its color less brown
and more gray, ana its flight «e silent as that of a hawk. It
was a great, big fellow, however, to American eyes, and
til P-^ the scales at 12 oz.

xhe Forest and Stream reaches me regularly in my north-
ern home, and as I picked up this bird and looked bim over,
as the sportsman is won't to do, I thought of the controversy
now going on in your columns upon the whistle of the wood-
cock.

I have said the flight of the European cock is silent. It is
not always so. An American Eportsman visiting Sweden in
May will surely be invited out woodcock shooting. This is
a very leisurely sort of sport. You leave the city at six in the
evening, after the day's work is done, sail out a dozen miles
among the islands, and landing, take your stations in fa'." -
able openings in the woods. Some time after nine the lag-
gard sun goes down and the woodlands ring with the sweet
carols of the birds of spring.

But what is that? Gnarr! Gnarr! like the grunting ©f a
hog. It comes again and agaiD, always twice repeated. Now
it ib nearer and followed by a hissing whistle, thus: Gnarr!
Gnarr! Hvist! Gnarrl Gnarr! Bcirt! Yes, it is over. head.
You look up; a dark bird sails across the opening in the tree-
tops. There is just time for a snap shot, and your first Euro-
pean woodcock drops dead at your feet. This is shooting
"pa strech" on the flight. It is the male bird alone that flies
thus, and the shooting is only permitted after the female has
laid her eggs, is sitting on her nest, and pattr familias has
become rather a nuisance about the house than otherwise.

But wr-at has all this to do with the whistle of the Ameri-
con bird? Not much, perhaps, and yet it may throw a side
light upon the question.

The European woodcock makes this grunting, and also
this hissing, whistling sound with his bill. This is an undis-
puted fact. It makes these sounds only in the breeding Bea-
son, to be sure, and the hissing whistle is not the merry
jingle of our October bird as it springs from the alder swamp.
Yet these two facts remain: The European cock does make
a hissing whistle with his bill, and second, no bird in the
world is so like onr own woodcock as its European cousin.

Now this does not prove but that our own "timber doodle"
whistles with its wings. In fact, th«t has always been my
belief. But tbe question is still an open one, and tbe vocal
noteB of the woodcock m Swedish woods show that the thril-
ling whittle of onr own bird may be, after all, not a matter
of a pinion.

We hear from Oregon that Chinese pheasants are being dis-
tributed all over the State, and are considered very suitable
to the locality and afford good shooting. They will probably
be like sparrows if not kept down, and the farmers will Boon
be complaining, if they (thelpheasants) are anything like their
British relatives, who can waste more grain than any feath-
ered biped.

Mr. McMurchy who has several times figured successfully
before the traps on this coast, was shooting in his best form
last week at Reading, Penn. The first shoot was at seven
live birds, five killed all their birds, and on shooting off four
killed other two (making nine straight), McMurchy being
one of the dividers. In the second at ten Keystones, he was
second with nine breaks. In tbe fourth event, be broke fif-
teen straight, the only clean score. Io the fifth, McMurchy
divided first money at Eeven live I irdE; in the 6istb, he took
first at clay birds; in the seventh, he tied for second money,
and on shooting off killed thirteen straight. Tne last shoot
of the day was at Keystones, and MoMurchy again took the
pot.

A writer in a recent issue of Forest and Stream tells of a
cock quail that devoted its time to developing the brood
without aid from the female. James Blines, Alexandria, Mo.,
says tbe habits of the quail in this respect are somewhat
changeable, being due to certain laws of nature which are
quite beyond our knowledge to explain. Bee keepers are
aware that bees swarm more in seme seasons, and this year
was one for the sending forth of more than the average num-
ber of swarms. The same principle is true of quail, and the
flocks number probably a hundred per cent, above the aver-
age. Sometimes a female quail will lay a neBt nearly full of
eggs, and then begin a second nest within a hundred feet of
the first one. In this case the cock bird will take possession
of the first nest and diligently and patiently sit npon the eggs
during the long period ot incubation, thus allowing the fe-
male quail the privilege of laying and bringing forth the sec-
ond brood. This is usually smaller than the first one, and is
flbont one month later.

If to any man the fact that "Hope springs eternal in the
human breast" affords consolation it must be tbe
eportsman. The present season had settled into what
bid fair to be tbe best one for duck shooting in many
years, bnt the last week's raiiis have covered the coun-
try with poddies to which the birds resort in preference
to resting and feeding in the regular ponds. The Snisun has
furnished good bags for a month, but in no other section
withio reach from San Francisco has tbe sport been good
enongh to justify tbe outlay necessary to indulgence. The
San Joaquin is almost without birds except white and gray
geese. The salt marsbc* about tbe bay are in little better
condition, and nothing less than a severe season of cold
weather will gather the ducks.

Tbe quail hunters are doing better, all conditions being
most favorable for success. From all directions reports are
tbat birds are plenty and in good cooditioo. It is time for
those who expect to rnn dogs in the next field trials to begin
preparing them. Three mouths is none too much in which
to harden tbe animals and get them well in band. Eaob year
the competition grows more keen, and poor worV II nmr«
strongly against entries. At least a dozen ".-
have already been named, some doubt1
nottonB. As upn»l, some "dark horse" will p
tbe titld.

San Francisco, Saturday, Oct. 26, 1889.

Dates Claimed.

Los Angeles Agricultural Association. — Oct. 21st to 26th.
Pacific Coast Blood Horse Association, November 16th,

19th, 21st and 23d.
State Agrionltural Society— Banning Meeting — April, 1890.

Palo Alto, 2:13 3-4.

There are a great many who want to parade the fact
that Palo Alto is only a chance colt and that he will
never be a great campaigner, and can only go one heat
unlike those who come from well-defined trotting fami-
lies. Those who carp after that fashion are thoBe who
do not believe in the thoroughbred cross in the trotter,
and under all circumstances decry the horse which is so
"contaminated." They will not believe in the thorough-
bred "foolishness," probably because they have never
tried it, and are wedded to a bias of their own. Dame
Winnie, the dam of Palo Alto, has to plead guilty to be-
ing the dam of three in the Hat, her most renowned son
having a record of 2: 13§, and be it remembered he is by
Electioneer* Gertrude Russell, by the same sire, has a
record of 2:23^, while Big Jim, by Gen. Benton, also
made a record of 2:23-g, proving conclusively that she
could beget trotters by any trotting sire. So much for
the thoroughbred proposition, and now we will Bee what
Palo Alto is as a campaigner. By turning to Chester
we find in the supplement of 1886 that Palo Alto, then a
four-year-old, started his "one-heat" campaign on June
29th, winning in straight heats in 2.32£, 2:33$, 2:33;
again on July 1st he won in straight heats in 2.30^,
2'30j}, 2:29jj. On July 1st he lost his first heat, and the
first heat of the race, to Wilton, in 2:24, taking the next
three iu 2:22, 2:22, 2:20-J. July 22d he lost his first, and
only race, Wilton winning in 2: 19 J, 2:19i, 2:20. July
30th, after losing the first heat to Mabel A. in 2:23,1, he
won the next three in 2:23, 2:22£, 2:21. August 28th he
won a six-heat race, Tom Rogers getting the first and
third, and Deck Wright the second. The time of these
six heats was 2:20J, 2-22J, 2:23$, 2:223, 2:25i 2;27£.

September 18th another six-heat race fell to him, he
winning the third, fourth and sixth iu 2:21, 2:21J, 2:20J.
Deck Wright got the first and fifth in 2:20J, 2:25, and
Harry Roberts the second in 2:20. September 21st he
had a walk-over in 2:24. October 8th he trotted his last
race of the year, and this was another six-heat affair, C.
F. Clay getting the first in 2:18, Charley Hogan the
second in 2:20;}, and Albert Franco the fifth in 2:24J;
Palo Alto won the third, fourth and sixth in 2:21, 2:21-},
2:25. The subsequent winter he was nearly destroyed
by fire, and his next appearance on the turf was on
August 13th of this year, when he won in straight
heats in 2:21-}, 2:20, 2:18. August 28th he won the first,
third and fourth heats of a race in 2:204,, 2:21$, 2:23$, j

September 2d, 2:22$, 2:20, 2:19$ was the time he scored.
September 7th, 2:18$, 2:19-}, 2:204. was the time of his
three heats. September 26th he trotted three heats in
2.16$, 2:174, 2:13j}, an average of 2,16 per mile.

Now how is that for a one heat horse and a horse that
will never campaign. The answer is given in the above.

An Appeal.

During the Santa Rosa meeting one of the races adver-
tised was a three-year-old stake, over which a protest
was entered by A. J. Zane and J. W. Martin as against
Messrs. Loeber and Heald, to try and prevent them from
starting the black filly Directa. We have no positive
knowledge of the case, but Rumor says it is about as fol-
lows: The stake was advertised for three-year-olds, $80
entrance, $20 payable at time of nomination, $20 May
loth, $20 July 1st, and $20 ten days before the an-
nouncement of the meeting. The last payment is the
cause of the trouble, it would seem, and no wonder
from the ambiguous manner in which the advertisement
is worded. At any rate, the filly was allowed to start
and she won the race. The protest having been prop-
erly lodged, all the parties interested thereiD have been
notified that a meeting of the Pacific Board of Review of
the American Trotting Association will be held at the
office of the Breeder and Sportsman on Wednesday,
November 20th, at 1 o'clock p. M. The Board consists of
M. F. Tarpey, J. De Turk and N. B. Edwards. As Mr.
De Turk is President of the society that has been made a
party to the action, Chairman Tarpey will call in the
assistance of two disinterested persons to assist in adjudi-
cating the case.

The Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stakes-
By every mail applications come in for entry blanks
for the new stakeB, and there is every indication that this
will be one of the greatest events ever held in California.
The terms are so liberal that every one who has bred a
good mare to a good stallion can afford to enter, not only
afford, but really ought to, as the value of the offspring
is materially enhanced by the fact that the foal is en-
tered in a stake from which the winner will draw the
handsome sum of $2,000 at least, as the Breeder and
Sportsman guarantees that there shall be $3,000 m the
stakes. One gentleman writes to send him fifty blanks,
as he wishes every man who bred a mare to his stallion
to enter. There is no doubt but that this will be the
greatest foal stakes ever instituted in the State, and will
bear favorable comparison with any ever started East of
the Rocky Mountains. The ten dollars entrance money-
will be refunded if it shoald prove that the mare is not
with foal, so there is absolutely no chance taken of a loss
in that respect. Entries can be made at any time prior
to January 1, 1890. Blanks will be sent to any person
on application to this office.

P. C. T. H. A..

A meeting of the directors of the Breeders' Association
was held at this office on Thursday, to determine about
the stakeB, which still have to be trotted off. There
was a large attendance many horse owners being present.
By the unanimous consent of all present it was agreed
to finish the meeting on Saturday, November 9th., on
which date, the 2:30 class will compete, the Stanford
Stake will be trotted for and the two-year, olds will also
meet for trials of speed. By that time the track should
be in good order, and as Sunol will positively start to
beat her own record there should be a large attendance
to witness the sport. I« is a great pity that the elements
played such sad havoc with the racing programme, for
there was every indication that the Pacific Coast Trot-
ting Horse Breeders Association would have finished up
their first meeting in a blaze of glory. However, the
meeting will be finished and all the promises of the as-
sociation carried out to the letter. Next year the meet-
ing will be held earlier in the season, so as to insure good
weather.

The Park Speed Track.
The elements have put a damper on the propose ma-
tinee, which was announced for to-day, but the commit-
tee are nothing daunted, and have already published
the fact that the gala day will be Saturday, November
2nd. Palo Alto Stock Farm, has given assurance that
the celebrated trotters Palo Alto and Sunol will be
started; W. S. Hobart will havo Stamboul go for a re-
cord, and G. "Valensiu will Btart Faustino, a yearling
colt to beat the record of Von WilkeB 2:38}. In addi-
tion to the above there will be three great races all of
which will be warmly contested. As the speed commit-
tee have arranged for such a g. and programme it now
becomes the duty of every person interested in horses in
any way, to push the sale of tickets for this occasion,
as the speed drive must be finished before the next rains
Bet in. The money already oollected has been spent,

and more is needed to finish the work, so that the citi-
zens of San Francisco may have a suitable speed track
such as there is iu every city in the union. The commit-
tee have disposed of over twelve hundred tickets already
but many thousands should be sold, so it will be
necessary for all to put their shoulder to the wheel
and assist the gentlemen who are striving to fur-
nish what we all absolutely need. We trust that this
good "work will have the support of every person in the
city who owns a horse, for it is for their benefit and use.

Goldsmith Maid.

Did jou ever meet J. B Decker who raised Goldsmith
Maid, well if you never did you missed a treat, for nncls
Johnny B., as he is usually called is a perfect mint of infor-
mation in reference to horse matters. I remember once ask-
ing the old gentleman to tell me what he could abont "the
maid."

"That mare," said he, "was one of the wildest and wicked-
est pieces of horse-flesh that ever I saw. Just for a little
exercise she'd often jump a six-quail fence, gallop up and
down the big meadow, and make a clean circuit of the whole
farm, jumping every fence as she went without a bit of trou-
ble, and finally go back with the rest of the horses. She was
terrible wild in harness, and I never drove her, single or dou-
ble in the four years I owned her, though, one of my work-
men plouged corn with her once for half a day.

The dam of the Maid," continued ths old farmer, "was an
'Abdallah' mare, and an awfnl good one at that. She was a
half sister to 'Old Hambletonian,' and could trot her 2:40 to
an old-fashioned road wagon without any apparent effort. I
bought her of an old hat peddlar named Vernue, of Plain-
field. N, J., who always kept good horses, and was forever
trading. The sire of 'Goldsmith Maid' was a Hambletonian
stallion, owned by Seeley Edsall, of Goshen, Orange country
N. Y. He was afterwards 6old to a man named Alexander'
in Rentuoky, where he was kept solely for stock purposes'.
The 'Maid' was foaled during the last week of June, 1857'
and was always as wild as a hawk. I never considered her
fast until one day I went out in the field with a measure full
of salt to feed the horses. The Maid would not come near
me to get any salt, and I got mad and set the dogs on her.
I enjoyed seeing her trot so much that I frequently repeated
the experiment. She was an awfully fast running mare too
On moonlight nights the workmen used to steal out and
catch the horses aud race across the meadow flats. I never
knew of this till long afterwards, but the men said that the
Maid invariably distanced the fifteen or twemy tine blood
horses I then had on the farm. That was running, under-
stand, and not trotting.

"Jonn H. Decker, a butcher from Newburg, and Tom Bing.
ham, of the same city, came to take dinner with me and wan-
ted to see some of my horses. We Btarted for the field with
some salt and the dog. and set the dog on the Maid the very
first thing. She was off like the wind, and they were so
struck with her gait, they offered me $300 cash for her. I
refused, but they said they were bound to have the horse
and told me to name my price. Finally I said I'd take $35o'
and they handed me the money. I hated to sell the mare'
and yet concluded to let her go because she was so ugly'
They caught her and tied her behind the wsgon and started
home. When they arrived at DentoD, Wm. Denton, then
known as Jersey Bill who kept a hotel there, tried to bay
her, bat they would not sell her.

A short tims afterward they found she was so ugly that
they;sold her to Jersey Bill for $600. The next spring Bill
sold her to Alden Goldsmith for $900 and a waeon. Gold-
smith named her Goldsmith Maid, and hired I Bill Bodine
the great horseman of Middletown, N. Y , to handle her!
Then she was awfu! wild, and came near killing Bodine sev-
eral times. It used to take four men to hitch her up and
she'd bite and kick quicker than lightning. This made
Goldsmith very sick of his bargain, and for a month or two
she could have been bought very cheap. Finally Bodine con-
quered her, and she soon became very popular It was not
long, as you know, before she was known all over the coun-
try. Goldsmith told me he sold her to a man named Jaok-
man, of Philadelphia, and Badd Doble for $15 000 cash
After she had made her best time, Doble and Jackman sold
her to Henry Smith, a New York broker, who still owns her
for an even $30,000, which waB almost one hundred times
the figure I Bold her for. She is now, I believe, on the Fash-
ion Stud Farm, near Trenton, which is owned by Smith.

"Yes," said the old man, mournfully, "I did let a fortune
slip through my fingers when I sold the Maid, but I think I
let a bigger one go when I sent her half-sister, one of the
hnest and swiftest mares I ever came across, to General Kil-
patrick while he was in Chili. Sne was a handsome blaok
fully as fast as the Maid, and just the reverse of the latter in
disposition and temper. In those days there were no rail.
roads in this section, and when we used to carry our produoe
and do our trading at Newburg, forty miles away, we used to
do some tall driving. I've frequently driven eighteen miles
to Newton in an hoar and a quarter, took tea, fed the horse,
and then drove on to Middleton, fortv-nine miles further
the same evening. I always had fifteen to twenty blooded
horses, and never let a man pu=s me on the road. One day
my father was taken sick, and at 4 p. m. I left home, drove
to Newburg and back, eighty miles, in Bis. hours aud a half,
aotual driving time. They may do it, but somehow I never
hear of such drives nowadays, and yet tbey claim blooded
horses now have greater endurance than thev used to have.
But for all that, I must confess they've got mile heats down
fine of late. Well, gentlemen, I'm obliged to you for yonr
patience, and if you'll step inside I'll give you a drop of
applejaok made forty years ago," and with this remark ended
the reminiscenes of Goldsmith Maid.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Editor Breedee and Sportsman: — I have seen in yoor
papec several times the past few months, the statement that
"Rysdyk's Abdaliah horse (whioh he called Hambletonian)
had a record of 2:40." [There has been no Buch statement
made. The writer muBt be mistaken.— Ed.]

Bach statement deceive- the young men of to-day, bnt they
■will live long enough to know that the paper published what
was not so. Rysdyk's Hambletonian oould not ordinarily
trot a mile in four minutes. Hiram Wooodruff had him on
the Island in training for four months, and the best trial he
could get out of him with a long bow whip, played hia fall
length to keep him agoing, was 3:18.

Men die, and often times the truth dies with them, but
there are truths which come to life again; most of themen are
now dead, who were witnesses to the trial of Eysdyk's Ham-
bletonian at the old Union coarse, L. I., bat enough re-
main to verify my statement.

Rysdyk's Hambletonian, nor his sire, nor his dam, conld
trot ordinarily in four minutes and that blood bred to itself
could not trot any better.

The mares of better blood and breeding whioh have been
prostituted to the multitude of eons of Rysdyk's horse, have
made his name known' but with the growing intelligence of
the American Horse Breeders that fraudulent name of Ham-
bletonian is fast dying out, while such as have the blood
curse it.

To day the American horse has no commercial value in
any country, owing to the multiplied numbers of mongrel
bred horseB, built upon the deception name and blood of
Rysdyk's Hambletonian.

It was a curse, and the chickens are coming home to roost,
while the game blood and legitimate name of Clay and Morgan
are fast coming to the front, doubly appreciated.

stead and other racing sires. If the meeting is not a good
one, it will not be the fault of the association or of the horse-
men.

The Lob Angeles traok is a good one when in condition,
and the day before the rain fell it was fit as a fiddle. It was
here that Stamboul made his 2:15 with Arab at his wheel,
and it was here that Laura Gardner ran a mile and a quarter
with Idalene Cotton at her neck in 2:07J. Adobe is good to
go in when it is dry, but rain renders it unfit for a sheep to
travel over with safety to his legs. As I cIobs thiB letter to-
night, the Bky is almost clear, with a decided indication for
good weather. Should sunshine come within the next two
days, next Monday will hear the bell tap. Tbev.

Editor Breeder and Sporbtman:— Owing to a deluge of
rain for the p*st two days, the races have been postponed by
a meeting of the Board until next Monday. The track is
now partly submerged, the lower portion being under four-
teen inches of water. This storm is the most severe ever
known here at this time of the ye»r, and as the clouds still
eatber and the sky bears a threatening aspect, the Directors
deemed it advisable to defer the opening of the races for this
week. They will begin on Monday, Oct. 28th, with the usual
programme. The meeting promises to be a grand success,
there being a long list of entries and an excellent programme.
Saturday night, at Rodman & Co.'s pool rooms pools were
sold on the two year old race, one-half mile dash. There
were ten Btarters, Pliny, King David, Idle Belle, Rose's Sor-
rel Filly, Washington Bart'ett, Rose Meade, Humming Bird,
Gnmbo and Jaunita.

King David to carry 110 pounds, the rest 107 each. Pliny
sold favorite, bringing about as much as the rest, who Bold as
a field. In the one mile dash, with four left in, John Treat,
Wild Oats, Mikado and Welcome, there were no pools sold;
neither in the trotting three miDUte class, which had five
entries, viz, Othello, Raymond, Orphan Girl, Dutchess and
Danger, were there any pools sold.

Another Los Angeles Letter.

October 23d,

1889.

t

When your correspondent arrived here Monday morning
with a ream of copy paper and a dozen pencils, be was greet-
ed with the news that the Los Angeles races had been post-
poned one week. The rain, that bane of race meetings, had
been falling steadily for 24 hours, and there was an embrjo
river rippling down the long backstretoh of the Agricultural
Park track. In a trip about the Btables you met everywhere
grooms and drivers wrapped in gum coats and slickers, and
outside the stable doors pools of dirty water stopped one's
entrance to the sfcallB. Things looked anything but encourag-
ing for the Association and for the horsemen who had gone
to tbe expense of bringing their Btables down. A meeting of
the Directors was held here Sunday afternoon, and the meet-
ing was very wisely postponed.

Bain at this season of the year ia a very unuBual thing.
Once before in the memory of that oft-quoted personage "the
oldest inhabitant;" has it come so early in the season. Col.
Hewitt has been secretary of this association off and on for
fifteen years and this is the first time a meeting has been in-
terfered with by the elements. Their disappointment can in
a measure be imagined. Still they have the grit equal to the
occasion and are doing everything in their power to make
the horsemen comfortable and to render the wait as pleasant
as possible. The horsemen feel very kindly toward the asso-
ciation, and tbe meetiDg has eveD now every promiBe of suc-
cess. Tbe association has been running in hard luok this
year, anyhow. Their pavilion show was given some time
ago The Los Angeles people do not take kindly to fair ex-
hibit and at tbe close of the affair the association found it-
Belf just ?1300 behind, and it gave a good show too.

The coming race meeting will be an interesting one from
the fact that th> re are many district hordes— horses that have
not been all over the circuit — entered here and district people
like to see their neighbor's horses in a race and will always
go to see them Btart. Among the local owners who have
horses stabled at the track I have met Al Workman of Los
AngeleB, L. J. Felton of Santa Ana, John Gnes of Compton,
N. A. Covarrubias of Lob Augeles, and M. A. Forrester of

Thid year ha9 done more for the equine sporting woild than
years ot the past. Every farmer sfles clearly that it pays to
procure good brood mares and to breed them to first class
stallions. Merritt and Murray, of San ta Maria, in this
county have invested much money on mares that he will
breed to Electro and Saxion. Tney have a model Btock
farm and a model mile truck; Henry Delaney has been en-
gaged to train and drive for them. They have ou the farm
some exceptionally fine colts by Electro, he by Electioneer;
first dam Fatima.

The following youngBters by Electro are promising; Br f
Gertrude by Electro; tirst dam Mamie by Shylock,by Moredale
by Norfolk; second dam by Orphan Boy. Br f Luisa by
Electro, dam by A. T. Stewart. Blk f Sola by Electro; first
dam Fannie by Altoona; second dam by Newry; third dam
by Kentucky Whip. B s by Electro; first dam India by
David Brown; second dam by Oakley's David Hill, etc. B
a Solo by Electro; first dam Yeolde by Capt. Webster. Blk s
Rysdyfae by Electro; first dam by Brown's Alexander by
Uncle's Alexander. Br f Miss Murray by Electro; tirst dam
Little Nell by David Brown; second dam Fannie by Jim
Brown; third dam Fannie Covaland (said to be by Rysdyk's
Hamblttonian). Blk f Electa by E'eotro; first dam May by
David Brown (full sister to Little Nell) and many others that
will be exhibited as yearlings next year.

The brood mares on the farm are select: Br m May
Queen (standard bred) by Enchanter 468, by Administrator
357; first dam by Blazing Star 760, by Henry Clay (pacer) by
Pioneer (pacer). B m Altoonita, hve years old, by Altoona;
first dam by A. T. Steward; second dam by Kentucky Whip.

by Alio, 2:22£. They have a beautiful bay Btallion two years
old by Altoona called Monte. His first dam is ly Newry and
second dam by Kentucky Whip. Merritt & Murray bought
from Mr. Porter the dam of Nigger Baby and Flora G., 2:35$.
She is in foal to Electro.

J. M. Rochin, of Los Alamos, has engaged to train for him
Pete Doyle. Mr. Roohin has a dun mare by Liesly, pacer;
first dam by Brilliant, by Morril, and she paces aB though
she would be fast. Antioch, by A. W. Richmond, first
dam Monte Belle by Tenbroeck, is a brown stallion that
will be trained and driven next summer for a record. Mr.
Rochin has several fine brood mares by Newry, he by Lex-
ington, that he will breed to Antioch.

I had heard so much of a yearling owned by J. W. Cooper,
of Santa Barbara, that last week I drove nine miles to see the
wonderful colt, and my admiration of him grew stronger
after I had Been him. He is really a great looking colt, being
a bright bay with white marks on one hind feet and fore-
leg, and large for his age. When he stands erect be looks
all over a race horse, having a handsome neck and head,
his shoulder is prominent and his withers run well back. He
is much higher behind, and his quarters are very muscular,
while his leg between the hook and knee is remarkably
strong. Through the heart he is deep, and hia chest rounds
out well. He has a remarkably strong back, being closely
ribbed, and although thedistance between his loins and with-
ers is very short, still his reach is long, and he has a graceful
way of moving, and when be canters he goes close to the
ground. This colt is by Red Diamond, he by Rifleman; his
dam is a very handsome dark bay mare that has been noted
for speed and endurance, and she isby Lomax oat of a Morgan
mare. Mr. J. W. Cooper, although not interested in horses,
has taken a great liking to his colt, for which he wishes to claim
the name of Solano. Tbe colt will surely make bis mark, for
he should run §, J and £ very rapidly. There are in the county
several colts that will meet next Fall in the two-year-old races.
Geo. Sherman has one by Accident and out of a Newry mare.
Arrellanes has one by Red Diamond, out of the Arrellane's
mare, and several others.

Carrie B.'s colt, by Stamboul, is a beautiful one, and it
growing very fast. Carrie B. is in foal to Alcazar.

Ella Hill by Wildidler, dam Mary Wade, died at the Santa
Barbara track over a week ago of lung fever. Othello, by
Hock-Hocking, dam Sunday by Monday, has gone to Los
AngeleB, where he will run; also the swift two-year-old
Gambo out of Dotty Dimple. Nigger Baby has gone also to
trot in the 2:35 class. T. M.

Please answer through the Breeder and Sportsman what
constitutes a roadster, or, in other words, in showing ahorse
for roadster premium at a fair wbat qualifications must be
taken into consideration by judges awarding premium.

Answer.— According to the rales of the Stute Agricultural
Society, size, style, carriage and speed are the reqnisites, but
any animal eligible to the Standaid class cannot compete, nor
can any horse tbat has ever started in a race.

L.

First — Is there any remedy for a trotting horse which trav-
els very close behind?

Second — Is it advisable to try any experiment in that direc-
tion when the horse does not strike, and if so, is it likely to
be an improvement in the speed?

Third — Do horses traveling very close ever get very fast?

Answer. — In reference to questions 1 and 2, we should ad-
vise you not to experiment with the horse unless he inter-
feres. 3. Yes.

Please inform me through your paper the proper course to
pursue to register a stallion, and wbat qualities he must pos-
sess to entitle him to registrars?

Was Dan VoorheeB Standard bred and on the registrary?

Answer. — We have sent yoa the necessary registration pa-
pers. Dan Voorhees was not Standard bred, but he was by
a standard horse, and from his own performances was enti-
tled to registration. His number in the American Trotting
Register is 887.

The reason DaiBy does not appear in the yearliDg record
list, is because in the race you allude to she was defeated by
Time, not having beaten Htnda Rose's time of 2:36J . The
list was inserted to claim names.

Can any of our readers send us information regarding a
horse colled Sather's Patchen, reputed to be by Geo. Al.
Patchen Jr., dam by Black Hawk.

I have a fine, fat, young mare that has a discharge from
one nostril which is not at all offensive, but which I know to
be naBal aleet. I do not, however, know how to treat it, and
I want to know if you will, in your paper, publish a remedy.

Answer — Nasal gleet arises from several causes, and before
recommending any line of treatment it is necessary to know
what the .cause is. I would therefore advise you to obtain
the services of a qualified veterinary surgeon, who can on
ascertaining the cause, adopt the remedy necessary.

Jockey Garrison.

As long ago as 1884 we remember Garrison aa a little boy,
when, after winning the Criterion and Goano he swaegered
up to Mr. Withers, and, puffing his big cigar, called out:
"Well, now, how do you like that for a colt?" with a degree
of familiarity that caused the sage of Brookdale to stare. Then
cam6 his engagement and trouble with Captain Brown, his
engagement and row with Haggln, his rivalry with McLaugh
lin, whioh divided race-goers in hostile faotions, his engage-
ment with Mr. Belmont and the Raceland episode. The re-
port of his dismissal, followed by his unexpected reappear-
ance in the colors on Magnate, then his being compelled to
stand down in favor of McLanghlin when Raceland started
for the First Special, which again set the tongues wagging.
Then he took the train for Boston, rode there one day and
was back the next, and paraded in front of the stand like
Caesar, "with a senate at his heels." What will be the im-
mediate future of Garrison? We have several reasons for be-
lieving he will be found next season wearing the scarlet "Bar-
barity jacket" of Mr. John A.Morris. Mr. Morris has not made
him an offer, but we have strong reasons for believing that
he will, as Garrison's remaining with Mr. Belmont is out
of question. We do not think 'Yalden is a great admirer of
Garrison, and the rumored engagement of Fred Littlefield
with Mr. Walden's daughter will strengthen Fred's hold on
the stable's patronage. But Littlefield is still young and has
not had the experience of Garrison, who, with all bis faults,
is a rare rider. He is not a quick starter, nor is he a judge
of pace, but as a finisher, we consider him without a rival. —

G. W. Hancock, Sacramento.

Why do not owners of stallions give a list of the mare6 —
served by their stallions — which the Breeder and Sports-
man has formerly published? Men ought not to be afraid of
showing the quality of niareB their stallions draw. It is cer-
tainly an incentive to breed to the best.

Answer. — We have frequently reqneBted owners of stallions
to send in a list of mares served, but Mr. W. Corbitt, of the
San Mateo Stock Farm, is the only one who has responded.
We again invite all stallion owners to send in a list of mares
served this year as a matter of record.

Will you please tell me where Gibralter is located, and how
many he has in the 2:30 lint, with their names.

1889.

Never before in the history of tbe trotting turf has there
such a galaxy of great performers appeared in one year &t has
in the year now drawiDg to a close, says Dunton's Spirit of
the Turf. The records are not by any means complete, but
as far as we are able to say the following statistics cau be re-
lied upon: No less than ten two year olds have made records
of 2:30 or better, the fastest of which is Fleet 2:24, by Sid-
ney 2;19|, and he by Santa Claus 2:17£. Thirty-one three
year olds have performed in 2:30 or better, tbe fastest of wbich
is the peerless Axtell 2:12, by William L, and he by George
Wilkes 2:22. Of the four year olds 6S have performed iu
2:30 or better, foremost among which is Repetition 2:161,. by
Ked Wilkes, by George Wilkes 2:22. Among the pacers Nel-
lie Woods ranks as the only two year old, having a record of
2:23; she is by Neosho, sou of tbe famous Blue Bull.
Among tbe three year old pac?rs Dou Pizarro leads with &
record of 2:14$; be is by Gambetta Wilkes 2:26, by George
Wilkes 2:22. The phenomenal four year old pacer is, of
course, the wondertui Gold Leaf 2:11,}, by Sidney 2:19}. son
of Santa Claus 2. 17+. The singular thiug about these phe-
nomenal colts is, that one and all come of a line of turf per-
formers either in the immediate or at the farthest in the
second remove. What is trae of these, tbe fastest, is equally
true of the balance of these wonderful colts; and an investi-
gation on tbe maternal side will reveal much the same facts.
Leaving the colts, we take a glance at the stallions, Bonnie
McGregor 2:13*, Palo Alto 2:13$, Axtell 2:12, and Nelson
2:14,}. Never before did such B quartette of stallions appeir
in one year, nor in all tbe years together for that matter. In
phort, tbe year of our Lord 18S9 will be a memorable one iu
turf annals.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphippua.
SUMMARY.

The athletes have been comp lied to give up out-door prac-
tice on account of the rain. . The Bay District Track ,b in a
very muddy condition and it 18 impossible for the runners
and walkers to train on it.

The wheelmen are preparing for Thanksgiving Day.

The oarsmen aie undecided In their actions, as the pros-
pact ahead for them is not very bright.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

H A Matthews, the well-known wheelman, intends com-
peting in the running high jump November 28th. On Mon-
day evening last in the gymnasium of the Olympic Glnb he
cleared, without previous practice, 5 feet 3 inches. Ihw is
certainly a remarkable showing for a novice, and Mr. Mat-
thews stands a fa r cLance of capturing one ot the prizes.

Several athletic members of the Y. M. O. A. of this oity
will attempt to organize an athletic club in connection with
the Association early next year. The Y. M. C. A. has at
present amongst its members the following athletes: Ihe
Armburster Bros., runners and high jumpers; Frank Hart,
shot patter and weight lifter; Cba.les Voltee, high jumper
An amateur recently arrived from Virginia City with a record
of 10 1-5 seconds for a hundred yardB' ran, and a number of
others who are good in all kinds of out-door sports.

John Purcell, the amateur champion all round athlete of
the Paoific Coast, has Bold his interest in a local daily paper,
and has established himself in the wood and coal bosmess at
534 Fulton street, near Laguna. Mr. Purcell has given the
O. A. C. to understand that in future it cannot depend upon
him to help it ont in general competition. His business will
render it impossible to train, and the only event which he
can be depended upon to defend will be putting the shot. He
is so good at this game that it will be unnecessary for him to
train.

John D. Mann, late of the O. A. C , and now residing in
Viiginia City, Nevada, is endeavoring to organize an athletic
club in connection with the Young Men's Institute in that
oity.

P. J. Higgins, the Irish aniatenr long distance runner, has
taken his departure from this city, having procured a lucra-
tive position at the Union Consolidated Gold Mines, La
Porte, Cal.

We are in receipt of the following communication from "An
Athlete":

"1 understand that a man named Newton Williams intends
competing in the 100 yards "Maiden" race in the oomiog
field games, which will be held on Thanksgiving Day. I am
told by good authority that he has already run and won a
race for a medal; therefore, I think he ongbt to be barred out
of the novice race. Please inform me through the athletic
oolumns of your journal if Mr. Williams has a record, and if
so. what is it."

In aoswer to the above questions, we will state that Mr.
Williams, who is a member of the O. A. C, has no legitimate
record for running, but we are informed that he is capable of
running one hundred yards under eleven seconds. We are
unable to Btate whether he has ever competed in a race or
not, bat the Athletlo Committee of the O A. C. will decide
whether he is entitled to cempete in the novice race or not.

The Atlas Athletic Club has disbanded. Its Board of Di-
rectors came to the conclusion that the new license was too
high for the size of the club.

The Pacific Athletic Club is becoming more popular every
day. Its spacious gymnasium and club rooms on Mission,
near 20th 8t , are to be renovated in the near future and sev-
eral new pieces of apparatus will be placed in the gymnasium
for the use of the members. Tbe floor is coated with soft tan
bark, which makes it pleasant for the athletes. It is admirably
suited for tumbling, jumping, weight throwing and running,
the track being about fifteen lapB to the mile

The monthly cross con ntry run of the Olympio Athletic
Club took place at Milbrae l*st Sunday. About a dozen mem-
bers took part. Donnelly, Cooley, Espinoza, Scott, Henry,
Greene and Captain Jordan were the tirst men home. The
run was a very enjoyable one despite the wet weather. A
tine lunch was served after the run. Walter A. Scott, the ex-
leader, was presented with a handsoms diamond scarf pin by
his fellow club-mates as a mark of their esteem.

It is rumored that a team of athletes from the East will
visit this coast in time to compete in the November games.
When they hear that the new grounds of the 0. A. C. will
not be ready by Thanksgiving Day, possibly they mav change
their minds and remain at home, until the new track is fin-
ished.

CROSS-COUNTRY RUN.

The field team of the P. A. C. will bold a cross country run
on October 27th, at 8 o'clock A. M. (Club Headquarters). The
run will be towards the Ocean House Road, thence baok to
gymnasium. All amateurs are invited to attend.

AMATEUR ATHLETES AT MONTREAL.

Dark, threatening and bitterly cold weather marked the
afternoon Bet for the annual Fall games of the Montreal Ama-
teur Athletic Association, held at Cote St. Antoine. near Mon-
treal, Can., on Saturday, Oct. 5th. In consequence there
was a very slim attendance, while many of the athletes who
had entered for different event6 remained away. The com-
petitions, however, were fairly interesting. A feature was
the attempt of C. A. J. Queckberner, of the Staten Inland
Athletic Club, to break the Canadian record for throwing the
16 pound hammer. In practice belore the competition came
oil he made a cast that was perfectly fair and measured 100ft
2 in., being five inches ahead ot the record, but of course, it
doeBlnot count while in hie regular trials, 10 in number, made
under tbe supervision of the club officials, he failed to do
better tbar. 07 feet 0 ioohes. Doubtless this was largely due
to the stiffening effects of the cold weather. The events re-
sulted as shown below:

Putting the shot— First, A. Smith, Montreal, B. 0., allowed
9 feet, aolual distance, 44 feet, 4 inobes; second, I. Fitz-
patriok, Shamrock L U, allowed 2ft, 39ft lOAio.

AT THE OARS.

The race between amateur crews from the Ariels and Dol-
phins did not come off list Sunday, owing to the inclemency
of the wialher. Both crews were in good condition, and the
postponement of the contest proved a great disappointment
to all parties interested in the affair.

None of the regular crews were out on Sunday, the boys
preferring to remain in the boat houses and compare records
with each other.

Neil Matterson of Australia beat George Bnbear, ex-cham-
pion of England, in the scullers' race for $1,000 a side, over
the Thames championship course, England, on October
14th. Matterson led all the way and won with ease by eight
lengths. .

We have it on very reliable authority that the professional
championship will be decided early next year. A prize of
$500 will be offered, and the number of entries will not be
limited. There is no doubt bat that every club around the
bay will be represented by one or more crews. The liberal
offerB made by the Ariel Rowing Club in regard to the records
will Btill remain good, and this fact should certainly be the
means of causing tbe oarsmen to train the harder.

The ohances for the holding of a regatta on Thanksgiving
Day are very Blim .

The Lurline Club will purchase several new boats before
next season.

Spiller and Feeney, two local arnatenrs, are anxious fo row
any two amateur memberB of the Lnrline Club a match race
in Whitehall boats, for a reasonable purse.

IN THE SURF.

The surf bathing season may be fairly said to be over, the
wet weather having set in.

Business at the Palace and Crystal Bafhs still continues
good, and the probabilities are that both places will be well
patronized during the winter months. As the weather grows
cold the temperature o£ the water will be arranged to suit the
air.

George Peterson of this city is willing to wsger $250 that
he can Bwim from Shelter Cove Baths at the toot of Mason
street to Alcatiaz and back without leaving the water.

THE WHEELMEN.

Tomorrow evening the seven-day bicycle race will end.
From the start It has been very perceptible that the whole
affair bas been a gigantic fraud. We are iu possession of
facts in black and white relative to a collusion between the
principals, but it is rather late now to make them known.
There is very little chance of the team visiting tbe Pacific
Coast again for money making purposes. Their present stay
has been a very disastrous one from a financial point of view,
and their efforts to make the people out here regard them as
world champions have been fruitless. Such unwholesome
hippodromes naturally tend to injure amateur athleliCB, and
it pleases us very much to note that tbe citizens of San Fran-
cisco are beginning to turn their backs on such frauds. The
attendance at the Pavilion duiing the week was very Blim,
and most of the people that went to see the race were holders
of free tickets. The managers tried in every possible way to
induce Fred Cook, F. C. Ellwe'l and other noted local ama-
teurs to enter the tournament, and even offered the two gen
tlemen named tbe sum of S500 each if they would compete,
Bnd a similar sum if they would finish.

Harry A. Mathews states that he will never enter a contest.
He takes great deligbt in riding his wheel all over the coun-
try at a moderate pace, but racing, he saye, is too much of a
strain on a man's system.

The Peoria (111.) Bicyole Clnb held a very successful race
meet on Oct. 4th and 5th, the attendance on both days ag-
gregating about five thousand, while among the contestants
were well known amateur 'cyclists from different parts of the
country, attraotad by the valuable prizes offered. On the
opening day tandem records at a mile and two miles were
made by Lumsden and Winship of Chicago, while the former
won the ten mile championship race handsomely.

The j )iot tournament which will be held at Napa on
Thanksgiving Day promises to be a big success. The fol-
lowing well-known amateurs are practicing daily, and will
compete in the races: Plummer, Doane, Richardson, Hodg-
kins, Siebe and several others. List of entries at Bay City
Wheelmen Clnb RoomB, 230 Van Ness Ave. The track at
Napa on which the races will take place is a mile roond, and
is composed of hard clay. It is just sailed forthe wheel, and
a good many records stand in danger of being broken. The
Bay City Wheelmen Drill Corps exhibition at Napa pr* ceding
the grand ball, will have a great many new features in move-
ments. Several associations at Napa intended holding a joint
ball on Thanksgiving night, but they all gave up their rights
to attend the cycling ball. The following is a list of the
races:

1 — One-mile novice.

2— Quarter- mile dash.

3 — One-mile safety novice.

4 — Three-mile handicap.

5— One-mile safety scratch.

6— Five-mile handicap.

7 — Two-mile safety, handicap.

8 — One-mile scratch.

The one mile handicap race at the Olympic Athletic Club
sanies, November 2Sth, will bring out a large field of com-
petitors. Several riders from the San Francisco Bicycle Cluh,
Alameda Scorchers and Oakland Wheelmen will take part in
it. Tbe boys think that on account of the meeting being
held at the Bay District track, a few more bicycle events
should be added to the programme.

Fonda has his eye on the safety races at Napa, and if he is
in good trim, some of the other riderB will sweat.

JOTTINGS FROM THg EAST.

Sidney Thomas, the English champion runner, will attempt
to break the one-hour record at the open handicap meeting of
the National Crops-Country Association at the Staten Island
A. C. grounds this afternoon.

A match to walk ten miles for $200 and the championship
of the State, between John Commons, of Ansonia, and Pat-
rick O'Keefe, of New Haven, Ct , took place at the latter city,
in Tingue Rink, on Saturday evening, October 12th. Com-
mons won by two laps in Ih. 27., according to the timers'
return.

The annual competitions for the boxing championship of
New York State are fixed to take place at Parepa Hall, Third
Avenue and Eighty-sixth Street, on the evening of January
25. 1S90. The tournament will be held under the auspices
of the Pastime Athletic Club.

A. B. George and J. C. Devereaux, both of the Manhattan
Athletic Club, are matched to run a half mile, for a prize, on
the club grounds, Eighth Avenue and Eighty-sixth Street.
ThiB should be a race worth a journey to see.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The Pacific Athletic Club has been admitted into the Pacific
Coast Amateur Athletic Association. We are pleased to know
that the P. A. C. is now on a footing with the other associate
clubs, and there is not the slightest doubt but that inside of
a year this young organization will prove a thorn in the sides
of the Olympic and University Athletic Clubs.

The Golden Gate Club should make an effort to revive its
amateur branch.

The annual Fall, handicap meeting of the Olympic Ath-
letic Club will be held at tbe Bay District track on Thanks-
giving Day, November 28th. The following is a list of the
events:

100-yard maiden race.

120-yard handicap race.

220-yard scratch race.

440 yards, Hammersmith medal.

880-yard handicap race.

One-mile handicap race.

One-mile handicap walk.

120-y.ird hurdle race, handicap.

100-yard professional match race between two well-known
professional sparrers.

Pole vault.

Throwing 12-pound hammer.

One mile, handicap bicycle race.

Obstacle race.

Putting 16-pound shot.

Running high jump.

Entries clo3e November 21st, at 8 p. m., sharp, at the office
of the Olympio Club, 120 O'Farrell St. An entrance fee of 50
cents for each event mast accompany each entry.

All tbe events are open with the exception of the 440-yard
run, forthe Hammersmith medal, which event is open only
to members of clubs belonging tojthe Pacific Coast Amateur
Athletic Association.

Blank entry forms may be had at any of the clubs and
every competitor must fill out properly one of these forms
and hand it in with his entrance fees. The application
blank is a new feature, and it would appear from this that
Captain George W. Jordan intends to be more cautions in
future in handioapping the athletes.

A number of gentlemen met last Tuesday evening in tbe
club house connected with the Shelter Cove Baths, at the
foot of Mason street, for the purpose of re-organizing the
Lurline Athletic Swimming and Boating Club. Officers for
tbe ensuing year were eleoted, and the monthly dues were
fixed at one dollar. About nne hundred gentlemen signed
the roll. The club intends to be very strict in regard to ap-
plications for membership, and only young meu of good
social standing will be admitted to the dub. Amongst the
oharter members are several well known amateur swimmers,
boxers, oarsmen, out-door athletes and wrestlers. Competent
instructors have been engaged and apparently there is ft very
bi^ht future in storp for Jb^ new organi?atiop,

THE FARM.

The Holstein-

Our breed is a conquering breed. In this fact we have un-
questionable proof of its superior merits. It is found in all
the richer dairy sections of Europe. By continued crossing
upon the native cattle of Belgium and France, it has produced
the Flemish or Flamande, Bonlunnaise and the Artesienne
breeders of those countries. From it have sprung the Olden-
burg and Breitenburg breeds of Germany, and the Cholmogor-
ian, the favorite breed of Northern Bnasia. Compare thin
work with what has been accomplished by the breeds of the
Channel Islands. They claim an origin equally ancient,
Their situation, a few miles off the coast ot France, gives
them equal opportunities. There have been no laws against
their introduction into any country. And yet we find them
occupying no important position in Europe outside of the
British Islands, nor have they orginated or given character to
any sub-breed. These are Bimply facts, and it seems to us
that they have resulted from the great universal law of nature
that the fittest will survive and prevail. Perhaps some one
will iuqnire why our breed has not also prevailed in Eng-
land and conquered the Channel Islands. If there were no
other reason, surely the law that no foreign cattle shall be
imported into the Channel Islands, that has been rigidly en-
forced for a hundred yearB or more, aud similar laws in Eng-
land at different times and for shorter periods, have not
given it fair opportunities to do so. The fact that it com-
menced such a conquest in England before such laws were
in existence, and from it originated the Shorthorn breed is
very good proof of its ability. We refer to these facts not for
the purpose of irritatiDg tho«e who handle the Channel Is-
land breeds in this country, but to remind them that it is
probably the wiser course tor them to join with us in fight-
ing the common enemy, "the scrub," rather then sneering
at our cattle and bringing our breeders to cross swords with
them.— Hoi. Fr. Register.

Jersey Cattle-

North British Agriculturist: "At the luncheon which pre-
ceded Lord Hampden's sale of pure-bred stock at Glynde, his
lordship said that on account of the depressed prices for grain
farmers muBt now look to stock as the greatest source to
profit. He himself took to dairying on a rather large scale
about four years ago; he began to set up a Jersey herd, some
descendants of which would be sold that day. He was quite
aware that many farmers looked upon the Jersey as a very
pretty animal, and that she was called "the gentleman's
oow." Aa a dairyman he had had some experience both with
respect to Jersey aud other stock, and without saying any-
thing against any other stock he wished to say something in
favor of Jersey stock. For the production of cream and but-
ter and the best class of milk — high-clasa milk — there was
nothing like the Jersey cow. He had been frequently told
that a good Jersey cow ought to produce one pound of butter
a day. Well, he kept a herd of about fifty Jersey cows, and
he was now milking from forty-four, the others being near
calving, etc. His lordship then gave some figures relating to
the produce of his herd, showing that on August 15th forty-
four Jersey cows milked 84 gallons in twenty-four hours.
This yielded 36 quarts of cream, while the cream produced
44 pounds of butter. Thus it would be seen that each cow on
the average produced one Dound of butter — a very remark-
able circumstance. Of course, everybody who understood
dairying would know very well that some of those cows must
have produced a great deal more than one pound of butter
aud some considerably less. If anybody would take the trou-
ble to work out these figures, they would see how profitable
breeding was for the purpose of producing cream and butter.
Where it was more profitable to produce beef, or milk of an
ioferior quality, on a farm, he would not advocate the Jer-
sev as a desirable animal to rear, but where the object was to
get a large return of cream and butter there wbb no cow like
it. It had also been said that the Jersey was delicate. He,
however, did not find it so; his herd went out every day in
the winter time, unless it was extremely windy and wet. It
was wet they did not like. He had found the Jerseys remark-
ably healthy, and it was a singutar thing that during the
short time he had been getting his herd together he had not
lost a single cow through milk fever. The Jerseys also had a
great advantage with respect to early maturity, and he had
several heifers before they were two years old giving two or
three gallons a day."

Actinomyhosis— "'Big Head" or "Big Jaw"— in
Cattle.

as firm and hard as a bony substance. The early symptoms
are usually developed without any marked inconvenience to
the animal, and nothing may be noticed amiss until the pres-
ence of tumors interferes with the powers of mastication. It
is generally supposed this disease is confined to the jaws,
teeth, gums and cheeks; nevertheless it affects the skin, Hds,
tongue, palate, nostrils, throat, gullett Btomacb, bowels, liver,
kidneys, bladder, mammary glands, muscles, and even the
eyes. It must be borne in mind that the symptoms vary
according to the part affected and the stage of the disease.
Cattle may live several years after being attacked with this
disease, but it generally progresses rapidly and the poor
beast soon starves to death, or pines away with some sup-
posed unknown disease and becomes weak and appears to
die a natural death.

Nature and Cause of this Disease — It is undoubtedly a
contagious and infectious disease which is doe to the pres-
ence of a minute vegetable microphyte called actinomyces,
which comes in contact with some abraded surface or Bmall
cut in or on the animal's body, and there locates and excites
an irritation and disintegration of the tissues, which finally
results in the well-known and characteristic tumors or ab-
scesses. Inoculation has demonstrated tbat this disease is
transmissible from one animal to another, and from man to
almost any domestic animal, bnt I have not yet learned of
the disease affecting house cats. The true natore of this dis-
ease was first learned from microscopic specimens taken from
the jaws of diseased cattle, and the exact botanical nature of
the vegetable fungus is not yet fully established.

Treatment.— The best and most successful treatment con-
sists in early removal of the entire diseased tissues by a free
use of the knife, and dress the surgical wounds with Btrong
solutiun of carbolic acid, tincture of muriat of iron, or sul-
phate of copper. The tongue most be cwefolly scraped when
it is the seat of the diEease, then some of the above named
remedies app'ied every day after a thorough scraping. The
diseased products ought to be burned or buried, and the
hands Bhould be well dressed with carbolized vaseline before
ha idling a diseased animal.

Prevention and Suppression of this Disease. — History
mentions that about 5per cent, of the cattle are affected with
this disease in some parts of Eorope. The sanitary laws and
regulations are being amended so as to include all animals
affected with this disease. Hitherto it was the custom to
fatten those cattle for the botcher market, or in very bad
cases just kill the animal and sell the flesh for almost any
price rather than suffer a total loss of the entire carcass. I
believe there is only a small fraction of one per cant, of the
cattle in America affected with this disease. It would be a good
policy to kill all animals affected with this disease and cre-
mate or bury the dead bodies. Swine contract the disease
from eating diseased products from other animals, especially
cattle. There ought to be strict laws in every State and
Territory to compel stockmen to destroy all animals affected
with this disease, and then report the matter to some author-
ized authority who should publish an annual report stating
the facts about the live-stock interests ot the State oj Terri-
tory. These means will soon curtail the disease or suppress
it entirely in the United States. It is very dangerons to drink
water out of springs, pools or streams where diseased cattle
are permitted "to roam over the range or even on farms.

weight they will grow and weigh with any of them. From
150 to 300 pounds at 9 or 10 months of age is the usual weight
for them if kept growing well from birth.

I speak not of greater weights which are frequently made.
Then they are more prolific than the Poland-Chinas I am
quite sure. Breeders of Berksbires always make a higher pig
average, and I think have f.wer "scrnhs." About the prin-
cipal objection urged against them by their compe'itors is
their chicken eating propensity, which is like the Englishman
who was arrested for stealing a wagon load of turnips, which
upon investigation proved to have been a theft of one turnip
which he ate in the patch. So I presume some of our an-
tagonistic friends happened to catch one Berkshire hogea'ing
a chicken. There is something I have never had, a cbicken
eating hog. It 1b common to see our chickens eating out of
the fame trough with the hogs; and tbey both roam in the or-
chards together. In fact the Berkshire hog of to-day is the
standard hog and really is a part of the foundation of a num-
ber of other breeds. He is the oldest and likely to stay here
the longest.

A prominent Western breeder of Poland-Chinas, has the
honesty to insert the following quotation in his recent circu-
lar letter. "While this discussion about type is purely theore-
tical, I am free to say tbat I am convinced that the Berkshire
hog at some period entered into the formation or improve-
ment of the Poland-China, and that by hiB continual selection
of small ear and Berkshire markings we are gradually bring-
ing to the surface the Berkshire elements which lie dormant
in the breed." The f-tct is the Berkshire will improve any
hog he may be cros-ed upon, and in reality the Poland of to-
day owes much of its eood qualities to the Berkshire blood in
its veius. I prefer the pure Berkshire blood alone to an adul-
terated article under another name. Jno. B. Thompson.

Ancient medical and veterinary literature contains ample
descriptions of this disease, which proves that it has existed
among domestic animals since the earliest dawn of civiliza-
tion among mankind in Europe. Nevertheless, its true
nature remained a mystery until modern veterinarians he,
came experts in the management of the microscope. It has
been known under a great variety of names at different peri-
ods of time. It is claimed that this malady is most prevalent
in cattle in the southern parts of France, Germany and Italy,
but is rarely seen in the cold climate of northern Europe. It
occurs in all classes of cattle in America, Europe, Great Brit-
ain, Ireland and the British colonies or provinces. We are
not aware tbat this subject has ever received any attention in
Africa or Asia. This disease affects all classes of domestic
animals and even mankind, but is most common in cattle,
while dogs and horses are almost exempt from it. The medi-
cal journals contain records of Beveral cases occuring in man-
kind in Europe and in this country, but they are mainly con-
fined to hospital practice in the large cities, and there is not
yet any available information or statistics to show its preva-
lence among our rural population. I saw one case involving
the upper aud lower jaw and right side of the face of a young
negro resident of Pennsylvania, but have Dever seen a case of
this disease in any other human being.

Symptoms in Cattle. — The earliest or primary symptoms
consists of a small patch of inflamed or ulcerated tissue in
some part of the mouth or on the jaw bones, and in a short
time those patcheB of diseased tissues develop into various
Bized tumors. Thoso tumors are sometimes developed very
rapidly in a few weeks and at other times very slowly, and
they assume a great variety of forms. The tumor may affect
one or both jaw bones, and often affect the teeth and causes
them to ulcerate and drop out of their sockets. The tumors
are sometimes soft and jelly-like, and at other times almost

What Breed of Hogs Shall I Raise.

There is a question I frequently hear aBked by young men
just starting into farming operation, and sometimes by others
who have in contemplation a change from the store to th.e
farm* Then again I am often asked if I do not think the
Poland-China a better hog than the Berkshire- Well, now if
I did it is quite likely I would be handling the former inBtead
of the latter. I breed hogs not for fun, nor the love of them>
nor do I believe any man does; but I do breed them for the
money there is in them. If there is any fun in the business
I confess I have been unable to discover it; and as to love I
suppose I think as much of my beauties aB most any breeder.

In the tirsj place I would say this before all: The money
can not be made out of swine Dy any half-way management.
Look around you and observe the methods your neighbor em-
ploys in the breeding and feeding cattle. Also how another
breeds and raise3 his horses and mules. Do you see any
defective operations in their establishments? Therefore you
must not neglect your hogs any more than they do their cat-
tle and horses. In other words, "Governor's hogs musthave
governor's care." But says someone, "that is the way with
yer fine hogs, they take so much nice treatment that I make
more off my scrubs with no cara at all." With gentlemen of
these oonvictions I do not stop to argue. The pure-bred,
pedigree hog of to-day is too firmly established to require
any further arguement in his favor. If you think you are
making more off your ''scrub" hogs than you would by hand-
ling better bred ones, Btick to them. But I will wager you
one that some of your boys will see the light and some day
will be found driving a fine bunch of handsome porkers, big-
ger than you ever raised in your life, and tbey won't be a
year old either.

But the question, What breed of hogs shall I raise? There
are good qualities in all the leading breeds, the same as there
is in the different breeds of cattle; and it matters not much
which breed a man selects if he does the fair thing by them.
I have seen many tine lots of the several breeds. In fact an
even well-fatted bunch of hogB, all of one color and uniform
markings, will attract attention aa they pass along and no
trouble will be met with in selling them at good, quick fig-
ures.

I thiDk the contest between the pedigreed breeds of swine
has narrowed down to the Berkshire and Poland-China. It
is true there are the Jersey-Beds, Chester Whites, Victorias,
Yorkshires and Essex, all claiming attention, and some fine
specimens of these breeds are from time to time presented by
their enterprising owners, but I consider that they stand in
the Bame light to the Berkshires and Poland-Chinas that the
leaser political parties do to the Democratio and Kepublican
parties. Of these two last breeds I consider the former the
most profitable, and taking him all around the most satis-
factory. The Poland is a good hog, and one hard to beat,
but I tried him several years ago and disoarded him for sev-
eral reasons in favor of the Berkshire. In the first place he
is an indolent hog, slower and less active than the Berkshire,
and for that raason not likely to make so satisfactory a liv-
ing where he is expected to earn it by grazing or following
cattle. This great activity of the Berkshire has been a great
point in his favor. If you do not feed him enoogh, he is go-
ing to strike out for himself and hunt it. A good clover pas-
ture will make a Berkshire hogalnio*t ready for market with-
out any other food. He is the best grazing hog I know of.
Then when be is driven on tne soales he weighs something—
nearly always being under eoessed — compact, solid and close-
ly built jjo puffed out flabbiness or baggy bide. Aa to

Keep the Chickens Growing.

A great many people become careless about caring for their
chickens as soon as they get them fairly well fledged and
weaned ; and they grow indifferent as to quantity and quality
of the food and timeB of feeding; cease to take care that the
coops are clean; in fact, let them "go as you please," and
make the best of the chances they have. This is a serious
error if we want early laying pullets in the fall and vigorous
layers all winter. To attain these very desirable ends the
chickens must be kept growing, and, as they have the grow-
ing appetite upon them, their food must be both liberal in
quantity and of the best quality in order that they may se-
cure a good growth and store up stamina to keep them lay-
ing in spite of the biting cold of winter. They Bhould be
sheltered from the burning sun of July and August, so access
to shade should be given. An orchard is the best possible
place to rear chickens, as it has jost about the right propor-
tion of sun and shade in alternating patches. The orchard
is a good place for the chickens, and the chickens are good
to place in the orchard, as tbey destroy a great many bogs
and worms, and drop much fertilizer where it will be washed
into the soil and made available for the roots of the trees.

If tbere is not an orchard handy the coops can be set near
to detached trees in the mowing field (after the grass is cut),
and if trees are not convenient take a few old boards, four or
five feet long, set two stakes securely in the ground six or
eight feet apart; nail a strip of furring to the stakes pome
two aod a half or three feet from the ground and make a
• lean-to" sloping to the Bouth.

The boards should have a nail in each, securing them to
the furring, to prevent a high wind blowing them away, both
to keep the shelter in place and protect the chickens from
loose boards flying about.

I have found that two sections of my lath f^nce (they are
ten feet long) made a very good "lean-to." The laths are
nailed the width of a lath apart, and by setting tbe top one
so as to cover the spaces in the otber it mak^s a light, open
work roof. In this case I set the two stakes to tie the ferce
sections to, and then put in a small stake at each lower cor-
ner to secure the bottom in place.

After the chicks are weaned fonr times a day is often
enough to feed, but the fnod should be of the best quality
and liberal in quantity. The first feed should be quite early,
not later than five o'clock, which gives them a good chance
to forage for worms and bugs. "It's the early bird that gets
the worm." The second feed should be about nine: tbe
third about one, and the last about five. This last should be
wheat or cracked corn.

My morning feed is a mash made of one-fourth potatoes
boiled and mashed fine, double the quaniily of boiling hot
water that I have potatoes, Borne salt, and in'o it stir meal
which is a third fine oatmeal, and the remainder equal parts
aborts, fine feed (middlings), cornmeal anderound beef-scrap
or dessicated fish. For 100 chickens I stir in a teaspoonful
of Sheridan's Condition Powder twice a week: two other
days in the week a teaspoonful of powdered charcoal, and
every day a heaping teaspoonful of bone-meal.

This mash is stirred up as stiff as a strong arm can make
it and get tbe meal all mixed in, and is made up tbe night be-
fore feeding so the hot water will Bwell aud partially cook
the meal.

We make a bread for our chickens as follows: two parts
fine oatmeal, one part each cornmeal, shorts and fine feed,
salt about as if for the table, mix with water and bake thor-
oughly. We mix up a great bread pan full of the mixture
and bake ten or a dozen loaves at once. Crumbled in smalt
pieces and soaked for half an hour in skim milk (then the
milk drained off) before feeding, and the chicks go for it as
if it were a gTeat treat, and Ow»y thrive on it. This soaked
bread is usually one of tbe midday feeds, and coarsest oat-
meal moistened with sweet milk is the r tber; either is good
for nine o'clock or one, aud convenience decides which Bball
be which.

FKESH MEAT

should be given to growing chicks about twice a week This
may be the lean trimmings from the butcher's, boiled and
chopped fine. We have found tbat it was a good plan to stir
in coarse oat meal with tbe chopped meat, mixing them thor-
oughly, and making of it one of the mid-day feeds. The pot-
liquor in which the mpat has been boiled (or any mf*at boiled)
should be used in making up the morning ma6b, preferable
on a day wbeu the meat is not fed.

Care must be taken that the meat fed to chicks is sweet.
A lady correspondent in Maine tells us she lost over a hun-
dred chicks last year through feeding them tainted meat.
She did not Bay whether the meat was cooked or raw. Some-
times meat which is close upon tbe border of over-ripeness
may be made sweet by cookinz it, and a pinch of powered
charcoal in the wnter helps to sweeten it.

A BRIEF SKETCH OP SUFFOLK PARK.

A Veteran Relnsnian's Recollections ot tue Famous

Track.

"So So tt'olk Park is to be cat op into building lots," said
Micheal Goodin' now proprietor of the Bingham House, but
whose early life was spent among the trotter's as a trainer
and driver. "Well, I am sorry," he oontinued, "for I have
seen many a good race there. I remembered when Jim Kelly
built the track. It was in 1859, and Kelly went there to
live. He was one of the most famous gamblers ever known
in Philadelphia, but he made a mistake in the calculations
abont Suffolk Park, The club house was then within the m-
closure. It was bis intention to build a magnificent club-house
where the present grand Btand is located, and fit it up in gor-
geors style. No drink was to be hid for less than 25 cents.
But he found that Philadelphia was not educated up to such
extravagance. It took nearly all -the money he had to pur-
chase the grounds and build the tra:k, and he never got
enough ahead to carry out his pet idea. There are seventy-
three acres in the property, aud Kelly paid about $200 per
acre for it.

THE OPENING RACE WAS A FARCE,

"Kelly opened the track on September S, 1859, with a race
for a $1500 purse between Flora Temple, then the regining
queen of the trotting turf, and the bay mure Princess, which
was brought on from California especially to meet Flora.
People thought the California mare a world beater, and a
orowd of 10,000 paid $1 each to see the race. It proved a
farce, however, and practically killed all public interested in
the Suffolk traok. Flora Temple won the firBt heat in 2:43,
and she could have distanced her competitor. In order to
satisfy the people distance was waived in the third heat,
wbioh Flora Temple won in 2:23. This was then looked
upon as very fast time, especially over a new track.

A DISGRACEFUL SCENE.

"On July 10, 1860, Flora Temple and Geo. M. Patchen
met at Suffolk in a two-mile and repeat, race to harness, and
the most disgraceful Bcene ever witnessed on a race track
followed. Mr. Waltemeyer, the owner of Patchen, would
not allow his horse to start until his share of the purse was
in his hands. William McDonald, the owner of Flora Tem-
ple, objected to this, and the whole afternoon was spent in
wrangling over the matter. Kelly finally placed the money
in the hands of a committee, which paid Waltemeyer his
$1000, and the raci was Btarted shortly before 6 o'clock.
Kelly's gang then invited Waltemeyer into the club house
an 1 cooly took the money away from him. The mare was
a big favori'e in the betting, but Patchen could have beaten
her easily on that day. He won the first heat in 4:51} with
clubs, rods, blankets and umbrellas thrown in the face of the
backers of Flora Temple. The exoeitement was terrific, and
there seemed a likelihood of a riot. The friends of Patchen
advised "Dry" Tallman, the driver of tbe horse, not to head
the mare ag tin, since his life was in danger. Open threats
were made to shoot him if he dared to again take the lead.
Kelly himself was seen to give a revolver loone of hlB toughs,
and heard to give instructions to shoot if Patchen showed in
front. Tallman took the advise of his friends, and drove
behind Flora until he reached the gate near the railroad on
the back stretch, which was then used for teams. This was
opened for him by his friends, and he drove out and did not
stop until he reached Point Breeze Park.

PHILLIPS TURNED AN HONEST PENNY,

* "John Hunter succeeded Kelly as proprietor in 1863, and
he tried to establish running races at Suffolk, hut the rough
element disgueited everybody, and the attempt was a failure.
The pickpockets held sway, and they stood people up
whenever there was a possibility of profit. One man who
was robbed of his watch recovered it through the interven-
tion of friends. When he went to get it he was told to select
it from among half a bushel of other stolen watches. Kelly
sold the track to D. K. Houtz, the lumber dealer at Eleventh
Btreet aud Washington avenue, who in turn Bold it te John H
PhllipB in 1886 for $37,000, and Phillips has realized hand-
somely on the investment, having received, it is said, $76,-
500 for the property.

PLUCK, NOT LUCK. CAUSED SUCCESS.

"I took charge of the track in 1884, and opened with a ser-
ies of races between the buckskin gelding General McClellan
and the bay mare May Queen, owned by John E. Turner.
There were to have been four races, mile heat to harness,'
three in five; mile heat to wagon, three in five, and two-mile
heats to harnesa and wagon, three in five, May Queen won
the first three races, and I forfeited for the fourth. I kept
Suffolk five yearB, and made money there. I often gave a
$200 nurse, and took in $2000 at the gale, besides about $1000
oyer the bar. People called it lock; I say it was pluck. I
did not sit around waitiDg for custom. I made custom by
talking up match races, etc. I seldom got more than three
or four hoors sleep during the warm weather.

the drivers used reins, whips and feet to urge their mares a-

Next to the seleotion of your land, for an orchard, the
choice of varieties is of the greatest importance, as the yield
and profits depend entirely upon the proper selection from
the thousand and one different varieties of fruits. From tbe
time that tbe orcbardist first engages in the business, until
he becomes old and experienced, this question of the proper,
most desirable and best adapted fruits to the land that he is
cultivating, forms one continual thought in bis mind, only
interrupted occasionally by tbe busy seasons of his work
during (he year, and even then being brought to his notice
by a suggestion now and then from the canner or fruit ship-
per ou the desirability of this variety for canning, or the
qualities possessed by another for long distance shipping or
for drying, thns subjecting them all to the severest criticism.
Many times the suggestions thus made are entirely too sweep-
ing in their way, and made for reasons best known to the
fruit shippers, acting in their own interest in the matter, and
consequently apt to mislead a great many if not careful, but
as a general thing it is well to consider thoroughly, and beed,
any hintB that may come from these sources There is hardly
a horticultural society auywhere but what brings up this
question at sometime during the year, generally before or in
the planting season, and when not trought-up as a subject,
it is talked of whenever opportunity offers during the general
discussions. How often we bear the question asked, Does
this variety do well in yonr locality? or. What kind of soil
does it require? and hundreds of other questions of the same
tenor, all of which help to give us a clearer idea of the pro-
duction and adaptability of different varieties to our climate-
When tbe orchard industry was first actively started in
this State, and the foundation laid for what is now one of its
chief resources, the varieties planted were those that were
considered the best in tbe Eastern and New England States.
Our early planners had nothing to guide them in their selec-
tions excepting the "Missions" wh< le the olive and a few
Mission vines nourished; they wanted something better, so
naturally seleoted those thai had done the best in their old
homes. The resnlt of this was that it gave them an insight
into what kinds would do the best here. It was found that
a great many varieties that produced so heavily in their
acclimated places would bear scarcely anything here, while
o hers would do remarkably well. What was the result of
this? They kept right on planting those tint they had tried
and knew would succeed, and graflingover the varieties that
were a failure. Then they still kept on importing new vari-
eties not only from the East, but from nil parts of Europe
aod other places where fruits of the temperate zone are pro-
duced and tropical fruits for the different parts of the State
that will grow them successfully, so that you can go to
scarcely any part of tbe State today without getting a pretty
gojd idea of what varieties succeed in any particular neigh-
borhood by judging from the orchards where they have been
thoroughly tried. But this iB not" all; a variety that finds
favor to-day may not be worth growing a few years hence.
New varieties are continually coming up and others being
brought more favorably to our notice, besides public opinion
very often demands that we make a change, the same as in
everything else. If they take a fancy to some particular
variety one season, they are apt to ask for it the next, and
Borne other kind has got to take a back Beat in consequence.
As competition becomes close in the fruit business ship-
pers will not lafie the chaneeB on shipping an inferior varie-
ty, when an abundance of merchantable fruit is to be ob-
tained. This would have done, perhaps, a few years back,
when there was bat a small quantity shipped East, and when
doable and triple the price was obtained for it that there is
now, when the shippers require nothing bat the very best
varieties. In making your selection yon muBt understand
the nature of the soil on the land that you intend planting,
both top and sub-soil, the climate and demands of the mar-
ket. Then go to the oldest orchard that has been planted
nearby and get what information you can on the varieties
that you have in mind to plant, see how situated, and how
your soil compares with that of this orchard, and then draw
your own conclusions, uBing your judgment, together with
what experience you have had in the matter, to decide which
are the most desirable varieties. This is generally the sur-
est way of finding out what is most suitable for our land, as
no safer way can be had of knowing what will grow well
on a piece of ground than by judging from what is planted
alongside of it. However, there are a great many other
things to be considered. What we want is not to grow thj
most oommon sorts, but to raise what is the largest, best
flavored, most showy and most productive. Take our most
common varieties, and they are the heaviest bearers, but the
higher tbe quality of the fruit the less it bears and the harder
it is to grow. It iB juBt the Eame with a fine horse; tbe purer
the Btock the more care and attention will a colt require to
bring it to maturity than if it were a common scrub. The
comparison may be a little difficult for a great many to un-
derstand, but there is nothing to show but that plant life iB
the same as animal life iu a great many particulars. Another
thing to be taken into account ia tbe readiness which some
varieties have to contract disease more than others, and also
the way that some are attacked by insects to a greater or less
extent. Those varieties that are the most subject in this
respect should be culled out, and others of a stronger resist-
ance put in their place. It iB best and safest to grow some
variety that you are perfectly acquainted with, rather than
one you know nothing about. A great many mistakes are
made by unconsciously experimenting on too large a scale
by setting out varieties that you know nothing about and
have no reliable information of, when a few tree^ would an-
Bwer the purpose, and then if they did well plamt on a larger
scale.

Without enumerating a long list of varieties to select from,
as is often done, we will leave the reader to refer to tbe an'
thorities in connection with these ideas, believing that he
can do fully us well as bv listing a lot of varieties which can
be seen in Downing fully as well. The State contains all
kinds of climate, and there is probably not a variety of de-
ciduous fruits mentioned but what will succeed admirably
somewhere in the State.

It iB rumored at Newmarket that Edwin Martin, the jockey,
is returning from Buenos AyreB, not being satisfied with his
prospects, where it is said the rules and regulations respecting
jockeys and trainers are very strict. No one, says the Hawk,
engaged in tbe occupation of training or riding is allowed to
bet, or esen to be Been in tbe ring. This has prevented sev-
eral from going to South Amerioa who bad made arrange-
ments to do so. Possibly thiB may be the reason that none
of the talent ro from here, for trainers and jookies don't care
to rely too mnoh on friends, and like to aee for themselves
how the money iB placed.

UNOLB SAM'S HORSES.

Bow He Uets Them and How He
When Useless.

Disposes of Them

When, upoa the occasion of any public parade, the cavalry
stationed at the garrison at Fort Myer forms part of the pro-
cession, the magnificent appearance of the horses excites the
universal admiration of the spectators, says an exchange.
Their size, for they are above trie ordinary build, suggests in
itself tbe idea of strength, while the uniformly shaped head
and large, prominent eyes tell of the intelligence of the ani-
mal. The norse is as much of the cavalryman's outfit as is
his saber or bis carbine, and he must needB possess the
Btrength to endure the long, forced marches and the under-
standing to be of the mosi possible benefit to his rider in
fighting by requiring the least attention.

It is said that France expends annually 8300,000 in the
improvement of her horses, with a view oi obtaining hardy
bred animals, wnose endurance makes them especially valu-
able for such irregular Bervice as is required of the Cossacks
of Russia, the Uhlans of Germany, "and our mounted in-
fantry.

The United States does not spend nearly so much, but it
secures a class of horses high above the average, and by prop-
er and humane treatment loses but a stnall percentage of
them. Moreover, tbe animal when it becomes the property
of Uncle Sam, fares better than its fellows, and ordinarily its
life is continued iu the service for some years beyond that of
the horses of other armies.

Congress annually appropriates about S200.000 to be ex-
pended in the purchase of horses. This amount is divided
pro rata amoDg the divisions of the army, those on tbe At-
lantic coast not requiring as large a sum as the calvary on
the frontier, where the life of the animal is not altogether
one of lazy contentment. In Arizona, especially, the equine
mortality is greater than in any other section, and more horses
become disabled and unfit for further service, The burning
sands and alkali deserts are conducive to blindness and dis-
eases of the hoof, and the animal has either to be shot or sold.
The lack of proper pasturage and feed bIbo cuts an important
figure in the life of the cavalry horse in the remote garrisoDS of
the west, for while bis eastern brother is feediDg luxuriantly
on a full allowance of oats and corn twice a day and sleeping
in a comfortable stable, the western horse is making a scanty
meal on huskB, and sleeping in a ramshackle building, that
seerns to have been especially constructed for a free circula-
tion of air.

There are nearly 10,000 horses in nse by the United States
army. Of this number about 10 per cent, are sold annually
because of their unfitness for further cavalry or artillery duty
and abiut five per cent, are lost by death So, in order to
maintain the standard, it is necessary to purchase about
1,500 animals every year. When the stock of a garrison
needs replenishing the quarteimaster general's department is
notified. An advertisement inviting bidB is inserted in the
prominent papers and a contract entered into with the luwest
bidder to deliver the horses at the desired point, if, after a
suitable inspection by the Secretary of War, they meet the
requirement of the standard nxed by the army regulations.
The regulations require that tbe horse shall be a gelding of
uniform and hardy color; from fifteen to seventeen hands
high; from four to eight years old and weighing between 900
and 1.200 pounds for a cavalry horse and between 1,050 and
1,300 for artillery horses. There are other requirements
necessary, such as the general build of animals and their
healtb. Whenever it becomes necessary to purchase the half-
breed horses of California or Sonlhern Texas the standard of
the height is reduced to fourteen and one-half hands.
Long-legged, loose-jointed, long-bodied, and narrow-chested
horses, as well as those which are restive or vicious, are
rejected. .

aiost of the horses used in the army are purchased in St.
Lonis and Louisville, although the general rule of late has
been to obtain the animals in the neighborhood in which they
are deBired for use, the idea being to obtain thoroughly
acclimated animals. The average cost of a horse is a trifle
over $134.

As soon as the purchase is completed the horse is branded
withthe letters '-U. S." on the left fore shoulder, and a com-
plete descriptive list is made of bim, which always accompa-
nie- him whenever he is transferred. The horses are distrib-
uted by the regimental commander, and the riders or drivers
are not allowed to exchange them or permit any one else to
use them.

With every troop of cavalry a record of the Bnimal is kept,
containing the description of every one received and trans-
ferred, showing tbe kind, name, age, size, color, marks,
brands, or other pecnliaiities; how and when acquired and
disposed of, the name of its rider and driver, and the use to
which it is applied.

The forage ration for a horse ;b fourteen poundsof hay and
twelve pounds of oats, corn or barley, and in special cases of
• hard service or exposure the grain ration is usually inoreased
three pounds. In locali ies where good grazing is practica-
ble for a considerable portion of the day, or during seasons
when little labor is lejuired of the animals, the ration is usu-
ally reduced.

The animals usually last about six years, and at the end of
that time are sold at auction, or oefore if they are disabled bo
as to be unfit for service. When sold the officer puts another
brand on the horse, making it impossible for the horse to be
sold to the goverment at some other point. Condemned
animals do not bring much. They are worthless for carnage
purposes and are too much worn out to be fit for the more
arduous work of street-car hauling They are usually sold
to contractors who employ them in hauling Bmall loads. Bat
the army horse does not last long after he drops out of the
Bervice. Usually he does not amonnt to much when the gov-
ernment haB no further use for his services, and his career
thereafter is short and uneventful.

BILL CARDS.

A grand treat at this acknowledged scientific game of all
games, will be given the lover* of billiards in the coming
milch gaiie between Messrs. McCleery and Saylor at theCaft
E jyal, on Ndv. 15, 1S89, commencing at 8 P. M.

The game 1000 points up, eveD, for $2,000 straight or full
3 ball game. Theoe experts with the cue have contested
many times; any and all contests have been great betting
games. In fact anj one could wager almost any amonnt on
his favorite.

Mr. Saylor hails from San Jose at present, being employed
by the St". Clair Club as manager, while Professor McCleery,
the well known instructor at billiards here, has the manage
meut of the Baldwin billiard room.

ROD.

The muddy state of the water on Sunday and during the
early part of the week prevented the fit>h in the bay from
biting.

Now that the wet weather has set in the rock cod 6shing
season will soon be in order. In the winter time, especially
if th«re is plenty of rain, herring spawn is generally very
plentiful around the bay, and the rock cod accept this food
in preference to the bait usually offered them by the anglers.

It is said that salmon are very plentifal in the bay, and
that by selecting proper grounds and using the right kind of
tackle a fisherman would find no difficulty in catching sev-
eral of this species of fish.

The rain has freshened up the creeks in the interior, and
good trout fishing should be had for the next week.

Large quantities of carp are caught every day, and the
markets are full of these fish.

Black bass abound in Monterey bay, and the fishermen are
reaping a rich harvest.

Should the weather prove mild to-morrow there is a po=si
bility that good rock cod fishing may be enjoyed at different
points around the bay.

BASE BALL.

c

l

i

The rain of the past week has caused severe disappoint-
ment to the lovers of the National game not only in this city,
but also in Stockton and Sacramento, as it has caused a post-
ponement of nearly all the scheduled games. They will all
be played off, however, onopen dates before the season closes,
so that the full schedule will have been completed by Novem-
ber 24th.

Bobinson's baby act is affording his brother managers lots
of mirth. They say be has no case at all, and that Clarke
will be allowed to finish the season with San Francisco.

It is possible that manager Harris will next year be like
Othello; his occupation gone. The directors of the Stockton
Club have sank about SS.000 so far this season, and there is
no possibility of their pulling it out of the hole. With this
loss staring them iu the face, they are seriously contemplating
the advisability of surrendering their charter. Harris, in
that case, would either be forced to resume control of his
own te^m, the 'Frisco's, or get some other city to buy the
franchise, or else ait on the bleachers and twirl his thumbs.
It is not likely that thelatter would be his lot, for both Fresno
and San Jose are anxious to join the league, while there are
many who think this city should have two clubs. There are
objections to both of the places named; Iresno is too fur
away as long as the league only has four clubs, while the $50
license for Sunday ball games in San Jose would prevent a
club from making any money in that saintly village A num-
ber of Stockton business men are anxious to have that city
retain its representation in the league, and an effort is now
being made to raise money enough to continue the club at
least another year. The matter will be definately settled
within the next three weeks. If the Slough city should
decide to retain its charter, it would be a most excellent
thing for the league directors to raise the membership to six
clubs, and admit Santa Rosa, which is a great ball town, and
give this city another club; or if that obnoxious license can
be repealed, let San Jose into the league. With six clubs,
the interest in the race would greatly iociease, and the patro-
nage would consequently be much larger. Let us have six
clubs by all means.

Sacramento will be in the race next season with as
strong a cub a? can be got together. If a competent manager
is also secured the ventnre will prove a little mint for the
stockholders, for while the clnb has lost money this
year, with proper management the capital city is tue best
ball town in the state outside of San Francisco.

Jim Hart and his combination of Boston players will be
here in about a month, and will play the opening game at the
Haight street grounds in the forenoon of Th.nksgiving Day.
Who their apponeuts will be has not yet been settled opon,
but the borne club will probably have the houor of being the
first to face the visitors. In that event the Oaklands will be
their opponents in the afternoon. Hart is well and favorably
known to the patrons of the game in this state, and every-
body would like to see him mike money out of the trip. He
has got a great combination, and if it plays the ball itis capa-
ble of, Jim will have no cause to compluin of his treatment.
If on the other hand the men he has under him think they
can drink all night and go out on the aiamond with an edge
on tbat would cut paper, and draw a crowd to see a repeti-
tion of the Chicago-All America exhibitions, then the visitors
will have chance to count the ties between here and Bean-
town, and there are a good many of them too. San Francisco
has had enough of Eastern base ball stars coming out here
and giving such putrid exhibitions as would cause them to
be mobbed if they were at home, and will not be robbed in
this manner any longer. They are always willing to patronize
good ball games, but in the future rotten work on the dia-
mond means starvation for the players,

It is reported that Robinson has decided to keep all of his
present team next year, with the exception of Coughlan and
Hardie, the two men who have placed Oakland where it
stands now. Well, the Colonel's idocy will be some other
manager's great gain, for Hardie is now the star batter, not
only of the league, but of the entire country, while Coughlan
is one of the best pitchers that has ever stepped into a Cali-
fornia box. By the way, if thia kind of work goes on much
longer, how long will the Oakland Directors keep Robinson?
President A. G. Spalding of the Chicago Club is up in arms
and will fight the brotherhood to the bitter end. He will
swear out injunctions against his reserved players to prevent
their signing with another club, and thus force them to play
with Chicago or quit the business.

Pete Meegan has regained his old time form and is now
pitching as good ball as he ever did.

O. Neill'a boodlumiem continues 'o bring down upon him
the well-merited condemnation of every baseball writer and
patron in the State. Robinson pays all the fines that are im-
posed upon bim, so that he cares nothing for the umpire's
authority. It 1b high time that little Johnoy Mone put some
stiffening in his backbone and called the fellow down for his
actions have become simply disgusting.

Can it be possible that the members of the local team feel
sore over Romeo Barry's release and are trying to down
Clarke? It certainly looks so, for after giving the Omaha
man about as rooky support as a pitcher ever received iu his
last game here, the team went to Stockton last Saturday and
backed up Meegan superbly. Such work don't go and if any
ball player gives evidence of trying to down another he will
receive ample notice to that effect in these columns.

The next two weeks will settle pretty conclusively whether
the home clnb haa any show for the pennant or not.

Matildy Sees the Races.

BX G. A. STEE8.

I was gettin* in some kindlin' 'loDg about dark, when
Matildy sez to me, "You Silas."

"Well." sez I.

"Let's go to the boss-races ternaorrer," sez she. "I bev
been bearin' a powerful deal about these yere boss races, an*
I'm jest achin' far ter see 'em,"

"That settles it," I said to myself. "Anything sbe takes
a notion ter, whether she's acbin' or whether Bhe ain't, she's
agoin ter bev." Well, Matildy she sot her mind on sein' them
critters run themselves ter death lermorrer, an' I give in fur
the sake of peace. Them weeds in the pertater patch woz
chokin tbe life out of tbe seedlin's, an' I wuz agoin' to wras-
sle with 'em in the mornin'; bat twenty years experience with
Matildy has larot me that times is a good deal best if she
gets her way, so I didn't say nuthin'.

'Long in tbe forenoon the next day I hitched tip old Billy,
and me an* Matildy drnv off, leaving the hired gal ter tend
tbe farm. When we come t^r the track I left my old hoss at
a licker store clus by, Matildy watchin me ter Bee that I
didn't git nuthinHer drink, though I wuz jest a chokin' fur
Bomethin'. When we sashayed onto the track we bad ter
pay more to get tbar than 'ud kep a man of my temprit
natur in licker fur three months.

"The bosses cum out fnr the first race, and they wuz a
pooty lot, though I wuz that dry I couldn't enjoy Beein'
nuthin'; still, judgin' by tbe looks of them hosseB, oats must
be mighty scarce abont there. Jeewhillikins, ef I kept old
Bill looking' as thin as them racehosBe*, the neighbors would
complain to Berry Wall, tbe boss of the croolty ter animals
Bociety.

Matildy got excited an* hollered like the house wuz afire
when they wnz hnisbin' the race, an' she woz wuss yit when
another lot of ribs an' legs cum out ter rnn, au' hollered
wuss'n ever. Taint no nee fur a woman ter whoop like a
Injun war-dance, but I daren't aay nothin' ter Matildy, fur
me an' ber's been acquainted too long, an' I b'leeve in what
Solomon says: "Indiscretion's the better part of valor." Give
'em their own way, an' keep yer own trap shet, that's the
only way ter pit along with wimmin folks.

Bein' as I'm the head of the bouse, I ain't agoio* ter tell no
taleB; but Matildy do bev one faolt, Bhe alius thinks Bhe
knows more'n any other folks, an' thoaeh I'm kinder UBed
ter all her ways, I wuz more'n surprised when she Bez ter
me: "Say, you; go ter that feller in the pulpit an' bet on
that hoss over there, the one that in bein' rode by tbe feller
with the black, red an' yeller clothes on him."

Ginerly my idees agree pooty well with Matildy's, fur

argyin' with ber ain't no use, but I Bez to myself: "I'm
blamed if I'm goin' ter let my wife chuck money away on no
feller with black, red an' yeller clothes on him," bo I sez,
kinder cautious an' coaxin' like, watchin1 her face ter see the
effect it projused: "Matildy, I don't b'leeve that hoss can
win; R'posiD' we lose the money? Us farm folks ain't able
ter pull dollars offen every bush."

"You, Silas," sbe sez, an' I seen it wasn't no use, an'
bein'aB I didn't want all them folks ter think I wuz a brute
fur refasin' ter please my wife, I went ter the feller in the
pulpit. He wuz a bellerin' like a elefant, but when he seen
me he shet his face an1 leoked down at me.

"What do you call that hosB thet has the black, red an'
yeller rider on him ?" sez I.

"That boss thet has the black, red an' yeller rider on him,"
sez be, "has the black, red an' jeller name of Bine Bock."

"Well," sez I, '*I want ter put fifty cents on him fur this
race."

He looked at me an' begun grinnin' au' sez: "Better buy
some peanuts with your fifty centB, old four-leaf clover; $5
is the smallest I'm takin'."

Five dollars, Bakes alive. It nearly took my breath away,
an' I went back an' told Matildy what be said.

"I know that hoss is goin' to win," sez she, "so you just
put $5 on him.'

I went off feelin' despnt. "When folks has worked fur
money, like I hev fur mine, its pooty hard to see it fooled
away, jest beeos' a feller is obliging ter bis wife. May be
marriage ain't no failure, bnt when a feller's hitched up
his own idees an' opinions, if given against his wife's, comes
pooty close ter bein' failures. I wuz that dry now I wuz
near strangled, when I seeu a bar a little ways "fatder down,
an' the sight of it made my throat feel like dead leaves in
October.

The feller that I gev the $5 to handed me a little colored
bit of paper with Rome fieurin' on it, which I thought I wus
payin' pooty dear fur. I looked round fur Matildy, but Bhe
was watchin* the feller on Green Rock, or whatever the hoss
wuz called, bo I made a bee-line fur the bar an' got a little
domethiu'. I woz fcairt Matildy would be wonderin' what
kep' me, so I didn't wait to hev no sugar put in, same as I
ginerally does, but jeBt took it an* looked op at the roof
I through the bottom of the glass. It went to the right spot,
an' I went back to Matildy with some of the discouragement
worked out of me. I did a bit of bc emin' to keep her be-
tween the wind an' me but sbe soon found that I had a
breath. Good lands, bow smart an' nosey Borne wimmen are.
She didn't say much, fur which blessiu' I was grateful an
Burprised, an' I woz sorry now as I didn't hev the sugar in.

If Matildy wnz wild over them other two raceB, Bhe wuz rip-
roann' crazy about this one, but I sot an' looked on as quiet
as a leetlelamb. Black, red an" yeller come in fust, an' she gev
me a punch in my Ro-to-meetin' vest an' told me fnr ter go an

git the money an' be blamed quick about it. I went ter the
feller that I gev the $5 to, but hed ter wait in a line with a
lot more fellers that wuz all smilin' with joy over winnin*,
hut likely they didn't hev no Matildy waitin' fur the money.
I gev the feller my ticket an' he gev me $30.

Sez I: "Young feller, you've gev §5 too much, fur the hoga
wus five ter one, 'cordin' ter what you said before the race."

"Take yer money an' git out of that line," said he;an' a fel-
ler behind says: "Fire the jay!"

Matildy took the money an' waited rill the hosses come out
fur the next race; then picked out a hoss that wus 'periently
try in' tei kick a hole in the sun. Sbe gev me twenty dollars
ter put on tbe boss, an' I went up to tne feller an' sez: "I
went ter twenty dollars on that hoss that's akicking' over
there."

I'There's a dozen hosse3 kickin' over there, oil Battermilk;
which one do you mean?" sez he.

"That one with the jockey in black," sez I.

"O, that's luverwiek. I'll give ten ter one. Who put yer
on ter him?"

"Here be twenty dollars," sez I "Give me a ticket*"

I watched the race, hopin' that the black jacket would git
left, fur Matildy wuz crowin' so already there would be no
livin' with her if that blamed hoss won. Sure enough, the
onery horse palled ahead, jest out of spite, an' come sailin'
down that straight bit of track like a hired man on pay night,
so I bad ter go and git the money.

The old gal wuz thinkin' by this time that sbe could size up
the hoss that waz goin' ter win in mighty good style, an*
picked ont a red jacket an' cap, with a blue sash, as the col-
ors that wuz goin' ter come in fust in tbe next lace, Bella B
wuz the name of the mare that wuz carry in' 'em, an' when
Matildy heerd that twenty to one wuz bein' offered she gev'
me a hundred dollars to take to the fresh feller in tbe pulpit
giviu' me a leetle advice about ventnrin' near the bar again.
While the hosses wuz goin' ter the place where a man shook
a flag at 'em the old gal wuz figurin' what she would do with
the money, promisin' me two pounds of terbacker outen it,
and maybe more if she felt that er way disposed.

Belle B. wuz most out of sight when the first boss finished,
an' Matildy wuz that mad she couldn't speak, an' that's aayin*
a good deal, fur I ain't seen her that way but twict since I've
seen her. She flounced offen the track an' wouldn't wait far
tbe last race. She took the lines herself an' druv' old Bill, an'
the way she laid the whip on that poor critter's back made
me feel aorry fur him, but I didn't say nuthin' — it would
have been a pooty risky thing.

She never said nuthin' all the way home, an' I ain't been
in tbe house 'ceptin' meal times since. She 'lows thet it wuz
all my doings thet she lost the hundred dollars on the redan'
blue, an' I don't expect ter see nuthin' . of thet terbacker.—

Gentlemen: I look upon horses the same as human beings. They say that a horse has no soul. I
dent* believe that Is possible. It does not seem to me that so true, brave and noble an animal as a horse,
after having spent a life of toil and drudgery, will die, and that Is the end. I ftel like thanking everyone
who does a kind act for the horse family, and for that reison, if for no other. I take the opportunity of
thanking you for having invented a medicine that brings as muub comfort to them as I am sure your
CELEBRATED TABLETS do. Mr. Wm. McClosson, the foreman of my stable, tells me that he has never
tried anything in his long experience that gives such relief to a sore horse as the wash prepared from
your medicine.

Hoping for the Bake of the horse family that every horse owner in the land will try it, I remain,

Yours truly, John Splan.

SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, NOV. 2, 1889.

Pacing- Blood.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The new interest
that is felt in pacing blood, and the high value placed upon
it by progressive breeds as an outcross for established trot-
ting lines, and the almost certainty that in the next revision
of the standard, the pacer will be accorded standard rank,
is my excuse for asking Bpace in your valuable and widely
read journal to present a few facts and statistics for the con-
sideration of those who have given but little thought to the
subject.

"When the following communication was published in the
Rural World of May 16th, it was correct, but when the re-
cords and performances of 1889 are compiled, it may change
some facts without materially changing the force of the com-
parison. For instance, I believe that Lady Baldwin by The
Moor, has since become eligible to the table of Great Brood
Mares. I have been told, also, that Mr. Rose has shown a
yearling trial, faster than Martha;s record.

To offset these credits, Prompter, out of a Flaxtail mare,
has put another of his get in the 2:30 list, and Sterling, also
out of a Flaxtail mare, has put in another.

WHAT THE FLAXTAILS HAVE DONE IN CALIFORNIA.

Kindly permit me space in your widely read paper to an-
swer the numerousinquiries fromfrienda in Illinois and Iowa
as to "What the Flaxtails have done in California." lean
best answer the question by a comparison. The Moor — the
Clay sire that founded the great Sultan family has a reputa-
tion world wide, especially as a brood-mare sire. As you
may remember, I was a friend of the Clays when all the world
was against them, and I am still a friend of the Clays now
that all the world is for them. In the comparison that I
shall make, don't understand me as disparaging a great horse
that deserves only praise. The reputation of this great sire,
so fortunately situated in his life (his owner being a million-
aire and every inch a horseman), can't suffer by a comparison
with an obscure and friendless plebeian, with no money
behind him to develop his produce.

The Moor has sired five daughters that have produced 2:30
performers.

Flaxtail has siied five daughters that have produced 2:30
performers.

The best two-year-old performance by the produce of a
Moor mare is 2:26; an excellent performance. The best two-
year-old peiformance by the produce of a Flaxtail mare is
2:25; a better performance by one second.

The best three-year-old performance by the produce of a
Moor mare is 2:18; an exceedingly good performance. The
best three-year-old performance by the produce of a Flaxtail
mare is 2:15; a better performance by three seconds.

The Moor has one daughter in the table of great brood-
mares. Flaxtail has three daughters in the table of great
brood-mares.

No daughter of The Moor has produced a sire of 2:30 trot-
ters. Three daughters of Flaxtail have produced sires of
2:30 trotters.

From a "Flaxtail" mare and by a horse out of another
Flaxtail maie, came a colt that beat the producer of the best
Moor mare, (Beautiful Bells) one aecood, although the pro-
duce of this mare was by the great Electioneer.

Another colt out of a Moor mare that was beaten three
seconds by the produce of a "Flaxtail" mare, was the great
Guy Wilkes.

The fastest yearling filly L. J. Rose, the owner of the
Moor ever bred, came from the mating of a grandson of this
horse with a daughter of Flaxtail.

Six record-breakers have carried the blood of this old
pacer, "Flaxtail," and they have reduced the records by such
enormous strides as 12^ seconds, 4} seconds, again 4J sec-
onds, 3 seconds, and so on. A grandson of Flaxtail beat an

Electioneer and others in "four-year-old class" Bnd got a rec-
ord of 2:26, and went into the stud at a service fee of ©50.

A great grandson of Flaxtail, in the "three-year-old class,"
beat an Electioneer in his Geld, and got a three-year-old rec-
ord of 2:26+, and went into the stud at a service fee of $50.

A great granddaughter of Flaxtail at two years old pulled
a Chicago road .cart two miles in 5:07, and was leased for
$1000 to raise one colt from.

its not this enough to rescue the old pacer from obscurity,
and to show that pacing-bred trotters "breed on?"

I wish to add some further credits to this paciDg line. The
fastest of the get of Marion, son of Mambr'no Chief, is out of
■a Flaxtail mare. The fastest of the get of Iowa Chief is out
of a Flaxtail mare. The fastest of the get of Wayland Forest
is out of a Flaxtail mare. The fastest of the get of Sydney is

boul is out of a Flaxtail mare. The fastest yearling by
Alcazar m a race is out of a Flaxtail mare. The only 2:30
performer by Wagoner's Bashaw is out of a Flaxtail mare.
Of the five 2:30 performers by Egmont one is out of a Flax-
tail mare, Sterling, with two 2:30 performers to his credit,
the odIv prodnciog son of Egmont, although not the oldest,
is out of a Flaxtail mare. Buccaneer, publio trial 2:24£ and
a well authenticated private trial of 2:20£ to wagon is out of

NOW FOR OTHER PACING LINES.

Col. Lewis, 2:18f, the only 2:30 performer ever sired by
the thoroughbred horse Rifleman, was out of a pacing mare
Doty, 2:21, the only 2:30 trotter ever sired by Challenge is out
of a pacing mare; Scotland, 2:22 J, the best, if not the only,
2:30 performer ever sired by the thoroughbred Bonnie Scot-
land had Pilot pacing blood. Lady Thorn, 2:18 J, the fastest
of the get of Mambrino Chief, had pacing blood. Lucille
Golddust, 2:16$, the fastest of the get of Golddust, had pac-
ing blood. Harry Wilkes, 2:131, the fastest of the get of his
great sire, was out of a mare by a pacing horse. Nelson, the
winner of the ten thousand dollar Btallion purse at Boston,
has a strong infusion of this wonderful Bpeed producing ele-
ment. To cut these almost limitless examples short and
make my letter as brief as possible, I will omit names and
records, which any one can look up at their leisure. While
verifying my other statements, I will only promise that
when the fastest records for all ages, sexes and classes are
held by animals with a pacing cross, and this, too, when from
ten to twenty times as many trotters are bred from straight
trotting lines as there are with this cross, it muBt fce evident
to any intelligent mind that this element is invaluable, in-
deed, indiBpensible, in breeding the trotter of extreme speed.

'I he fastest yearling, two-year-old, three-year-old, four-
yei-r-old, and the fastest mare, gelding and stallion— all.
witho.it an exception, have pacing blood. The phenomenal
three-year-olds of the year, seven in number, with records
better than 2:20, all have paciDg blood.

The above Bhows that to get a first-class race horse a pac-
ing cross is indispensible. The following shows that pacing
blood is equally indispensible in breeding a successful stock
horse:

George "Wilkes, the most prepotent 6on of Hambletonian,
has pacing blood. Should any one suggest that prospectively
Electioneer is his equal or superior, I answer that he has the
same pacing inheritance. Almonl, the most prepotent son
of Alexander's Abdallab, has pacing blood, Mambrino Patch-
en, the most prepotent son of Mambrino Chief, has pacing
blood. Nutwood, the most prepotent sou of Belmont, has
pacing blood. Blue Bull, a pacing horse, sired speed with a
uniformity and certainty never equalled.

It may be said that in some of the above examples the pro-
portion of pacing blood is small and remote. True, but we
cannot reckon the power of blood lines mathematicaly, and
it is only the greater proof of its potency. The thirty sec-
ond, or even the sixty fourth part of the blood of Justin
Morgan gave the distinctive Morgan type. So with the pa-
cer. His blood dominates all other blood, and carries with
it the nerve force and freedom of action that makes the fast
trotter, and its remote effects shows that it "breeds on" with
augmenting force in each generation.

With these most convincing facts accessible to all, it is sur-
prisiDg that there should still remain a fe*w old fossils, who,
from ironclad predudice, or from a pecuniary interest in
straight trotting lines, cannot see, or will not admit the
quickening power, and great value of a pacing cross in in-
creasing the speed, and in increasing the percentage of fast
produce in breeding trotters.

They are like Simpson Deacon: They "can'na' be convinced
and they ''winna' be convinced." M. W. Hicks.

J. A. Morris' Recent Importations.

Mr. John A. Morris, who has lately organized and built
the Westohester track, is going extensively into racing again.
He is evidently a believer in imported blood, for he has in
England three mares, Jennie B. by Longfellow, Active
by Tom Ochiltree, and Lizzie B. by Ten Broeck. The for-
mer is stinted to Galopin (sire of Donovan), and the two
latter to Springfield. In addition to these Mr. Morris has
imported the following thoroughbreds from England:

Abukru, chestnut mare, 1885, by Ben Battle, dam Oatmeal
by Wild Oats, her dam Miss Alma by Blair Athol, out of
Esther by Touchstone. Bred to Torpedo, a full brother to
Shotover.

Ilione, brown mare, 1SS6 by Skjlark, dam Ilia by Sterling,
her dam Fair Vestal by Vespasian, out of Fair Rosamond by
King John. Bred to Galliard. Ilione won two races in 1SSS,
including the Zetland Plate.

Pilferer, chestnut mare, 18S5 by Macaroon (son of Maca-
roni), dam Pillage by Cambuscau, her dam Plunder by Buc-
caneer. Bred to Peter.

Polonaise, bay filly, 1S86, by Sterling, dam Kathleen by
Specolum, her dam Peahen by Cotherstone, out of Prairie
Hen by Stoekwell. Bred to Lowland Chief.

Veronia, 1SS4 by Trappist (son of Hermit), dam Doe by
Turnus, her dam The Fawn by Venison. Bred to Fernan-
dez (brother to Isonomy.)

Haste, ch f (1837), by Energy — Garonne.

The following are yearlings:

Chestnut colt by Peter, dam Cutty Sark by Blair Athol, her
dam Old Orange Girl by Kingston.

Brown co't by Valour, dam Periwig by Macaroni, her dam
Silverbnir (Silvio's dam) hy Kingston.

Bay filly by Merden, dam Indiana by Uncas, her dam Side-
view by Diophantns.

Chestnut filly by Hawkestont, dam Conspiracy by High
Treason, her dam Finke by Turnus.

Brown tilly by Galliard, dam Parvenu (sister to Plebian) by
Joskin, her dam Queen Elizabeth by Autocrat.

Bay filly by Zealot, dam Wealth by Sterling, her dam Cher-
ry Duchess (dam of Energy) by the Duke.

Brown filly by Sterling, dam Sedate by Sefton, her dam
Sham Fight by Kuight of Kars.

Our Australian Letter.

Sydney, Oct., 2, 18S9.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Since my last letter we
have had a remarkably lively lime in New South Wales with
the Hawkesbury ani Eandwick Spring Meetings. The fi rst race
of any moment at the Hawkesbury meeting, the Hawkes-
bury Guineas, for three-year-olds, resolved itself into a
match between Mr. Gannon's Merriment and Mr. J. White's
Rudolph, the representatives of the two crack New South
Wales Stables. The winner turned up in Merriment, who
reversed the form shown by the pair as two-year-olds in the
Claret Stakes at the Hawkesbury Autumn Meeting, when
Rudolph proved the victor. On the same day, Mr. W. A.
Long won the September Handicap with his colt Daniel, a
tine animal, bnt an uncertain and fractions brute, who does
his best to demoralize tbe held by invariably playing up, and
now aud then varying the monotony. with a bolt. However
Daniel is without doubt a speedy animal, and should he set-
tle down with age will make a name for himself.

For the Hawkesbury Grand Handicap, in which by the way
neither Mr. White or Mr. Gannon had a representative.
Lamond, a four-year-old belonging to a remarkably knowing
stable, was made a big pot, but it did not come off aB the al-
leged wonder failed to run into aplace, and the winner turned
up in the speedy mare Ellerdale, a four-year-old, by Golds-
brou^h from Ethel. Ellerdale's first victory wbr at New
caslle, N. S. W., when she, as a three-year-old, won the Nov-
ember Handioap, a mile and a fnrlong, with 6 stone, 10 lbs.,
but it was her win in TatterBall's Cup at Bandwiok, 2 miles,
6 stone, that lei the public to give her big support for the
Hawkesbury Handicap.

The Australian Jockey Club (Sydney), had a rare success
with their spring meeting which opened on September 21st.
But five sported colors for the Australian Jockey Club Derby.
Merriment held pride of place at 5 t3 4, Mr. White's Rudolph
at 7 to 4, and Singapore, another of Mr. White's, was quoted
at 5 to 1. Merriment, however, ran disappointingly, and Mr.
James Whit6 secured first and second places respectively,
with Singapore and Rudolph. Tom Hales, Mr. While's crack
jockey, who was up on Rudolph, the eldest of White's stable,
came in for no small share of grumbling from the crowd as
to the way he handled his mount but it is ever thus, and had
Hales managed to pull the race out of the fire in the laBt
strides, we should have heard that Hales rode with his
usual skill and judgment. The Spring Stakes was run on
the same day and will remain memorable as the last race in
which the son of your Darebin, the mighty Australian peer,
sported silk. Tne champion Abercorn won, followed in as
per usual by one of Mr. Gannon's string. Melos and the
Australian Peer finished last, he having broken a blood ves-
sel in the head.

There were fifteen starters for the Metropolitan Stakes, but
only one horse in it bo to speak, as Abercorn, with 9st. 71bs.,
fairly roinp9d home ahead of Mr. Gannon's Arsenal with 9st.
2 lbs. up, another of Mr. Gaunon's, Wycombe, filling third
place. On the concluding day, Mr. White secured another
win, with Singapore in the Member's Handicap, and the un-
lucky Mr. Gannon ran second, with Wycombe, to Ellerdale
in the Haverley Handicap. Mr. Gannon has borne up bravely
against hi3 luck in running, with animals of the first water,
seconds to Mr. White's firsts, but it looks as if he is heart-
broken at last, as on Friday the wtiole of his stud were put
up to auction, the broken-down Australian Peer going for the
extraordinarily small sum of sis hundred guineas to Mr.
John Eiles, a wealthy breeder and racer residing at the Hun-
ter River. It is now stated that Mr. Ealea has been offered,
on behalf of a big American breeder, the sum of 3,000 guineas
for the horse, lauded in San Francisco. It is without doubt
a puzzle to Sydoeyites why Mr. Gannon allowed the great
horse to go at" such a figure. Mr. Eales is already trie pos-
sessor of an untried filly, full sister to the Australian Peer,
which he intends to call the Australian Peeress.

Mr. James White continued his almost phenomenal success
at the A. J. C. meeting by winning the Craven Plate with
Abercorn, the second foal stakes with Rudolph, and the
Wycombe Stakes with Dreadnought. Amongst the wins
likely to interest Americans was that of Ringdove, a four-
year-old br. wn mare by DatebiD from Stockdove; Bhe 1b a
full sister to Australian Peer, aud with seven stones np, beat
that consistent performer Bernardo, 9 st. 7 lbs., and a good
field, for the Suburban Handicap.

You Yankees, who appear ever on the look-out for a good
sire, and who do not allow dollars to Btand in the way, ought
to keep your eagle eye upon one Maxim, who is looked upon
as the champion of New Zealand. Maxim is a five-year-old
brown horse by Musket, from Realisation, and is considered
by good j ldgeB as a better horse than Carbine, his muscular
developement being almost abnormal, without any appearance
of lumber. As a two-year-old in New Zealand, he won the
Middle Park Stakes and the Nursery Handicap, when he
journeyed to Victoria, where he was duly put down at equal
weights by the Australian ohampion Abercorn, Returning
to his native heather, he won the Champagne StakeB, and
was beaten by Sextant in the Challenge Stakes. As a three-
year-old he holds an unbroken record of five wine. He is
engaged in the greatest of all Australian races, the Melbourne
Cup, at 9 stones 5 pound?, bnt it is a moot point whether his
owner, Mr. G. G. Stead, will take him over.

Tbe doings of the great Abercorn in the recent spring
meeting of tbe Australia Jockey Club have proved him the
best horse that has passed-through Mr. Jame"? White's sta-
ble, and that is saying a good deal. Trident, one of Mr.
White's best, in his day won fifteen races for a total of
£8,741, but Abercorn tops this with the handsome sum of
£11,445. At 2 years he won five races, value £3,436; at 3
years six races, or rather five races aud one dead heat, value
£4,170; at 4 years four races, value £1,290, and at 5 years
four races, value £2,540 Abercorn is still in training and
may add considerably to his record of £11,445, but it is
hardly likely that he will put in an appearance for the Mel-
bourne Cup, aB he has incurred a penalty of fourteen pounds
by his win of the Metropolitan, which will bring him up to
the almost prohibitive impost of 10 at. lOlbs. Abercorn can-
not be 6aid either to have been tbe luckieBt horse on the turf
as he has had to nceet equine giants, in Carbine and Lochiel.
In theconteBt for the high jump at the recent National
show at Melbourne Victoria, a horse named Spoudulix eet
the world a record by oleariug the prodigious height of G feet
3A inches. In the fourth round only two horaes remained in
the bIiow, Spondolix and Highlander, who both cleared just
over 0 feet, but this was Highlander's best effort, and Spon-
dulix was left alone to clear in a magnificent jump G feet ■>1
inches. "The Jungle."

[Leo and Filemaker iu America have both jumped 6 feet
"} inches.— Ed.]

The Starter Fined.

England's Official Punished For Carelessness.

The English mails to hand tell of a peculiar case at New-
market on the 10th inst., whereby the race for the Newmarket
Oaks had to run over again, and the official starter, Lord
Marcus Beresford, was fined for carelessness. It seems that
the race for tbe stake mentioned, run on Cesarewitch day,
was run and duly won by Pamela beating Minthe, Wrinkle, j
Cherry Bounce and Hamptonia.

Subsequent^, however, Mr. E. C. Vyner objected to the I
validity of the "race, and as it was proved that tbe fillies had
been started by Lord Berpsford at the wrong post, whereby
hall a mile was cut on', the stewards decided that a second
trial should be moved for. Then-arose the question of beta,
and the Committee of Tattersall's decided that they should
Btand if there was a race, and be void in the case of a walk-
over.

The nest day Pamela walked over at the second trial for
the stake, and bets were accordingly declared off. A still
further denouncement to this in some respects unpreceden-
ted case was the anouncement that Lord Marcus Beresford,
the official starter, wbb fined ten shillings by the stewards
of the jockay club for starting the horses at the wrong post
for the Newmarket Oaks. The whole affair caused plenty of
excitement and feeling at Newmarket for the remainder of
the afternoon, and the end was a drawn battle from a spec-
ulative point of view.

In this eocntry we do not recall a similar case, at least that
part of it where the hordes were started at the wrong po3t,
and the starter fined for so doing. That the fine imposed on
the starter, however, was an eminently just one, few will be
disposed to deny. If a starter makes euch a gross error as
this, he is most certainly deserving of a fine.

of trotters behind him without a pacing cross. Of the forty-
eight of his get in the 2:30 list, forty-seven are pure-gaited
trotters, and one, ont of a mare whose sire is unknown, is a
pacer. The breeders' axiom that like produces like applies
to gait aB well as disposition. "Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?" Fallstown.

A Blow at the Standard Trotter.

Two weeks ago we published an artie'e clipped from Wal-
lace's Monthly, in which the writer advogated the registration
of pacers. The clipping was extensively copied and has
brought many letters from correspondents, probably the best
of which is one Bent to the Kentucky Stock Farm and is as
follows :

Dear Sir:— In some editorial comments on a letter oft^Mr.
Thomas C. Parsons, in the October number of Wallace's
Monthly, is foreshadowed what I would regard as an attack
on the integrity of the standard. Though the writer does
not directly say so, through his article rnhs the idea that pac-
ing horses coming up to certain requirements of paoing per-
formance shouli for that reason be admitted to the trotting
standard. I believe all breeders approve of £ne formation of
the Pacing Horse Breeders' Association; and the establishing
of a pacing horse sCdaAwrd is clearly a matter of necessity,
but when it is proposed to make a standard trotting horse
out of a 2:25 or even a 2:15 pacer, a very different question is
raised. After all that has been said about the pace and the trot
being "one and the same gait interchangeable and intertrans-
miasible," the fact remains that not one of the great trotting
horse breeders of the country will now buy a pacing stallion
or brood mare on their blood or speed. Had St. Bel's dam or
sire been a pacer, his book of $500, instead of filling in five
days, would not have tilled in fiveyear3. The arguments that
have been advanced by the Monthly against "running fool-
ishness" in the trotter, will be effectively used against pacing
folly in the trotter also. Every objection to the blood of the
runner in the trotter will apply with equal force to the pacer.
The relative antiquity of the runner and pacer has no bear-
ing on the question. We have used them both in the forma-
tion of the trotting breed, and progress now lies in the direc-
tion of keeping the Btream x^nre and intensifying the trotting
instinct by successive generations of breeding.

He speaks of the "abstract right of the pacor to standard
rank." I do not understand that any person disputes the
claim that the pacer Bbould be improved as a breei, but
how to do it is the question. The course of dealing that has
so advanced the trotter will do the same for the pacer. Make
a standard for the pacer, based on pacing speed, and the nat-
ural result will be that fast pacing mares will be bred to fast
pacing stallions. In this way will all the desirable qualities
of the pacing horse be brought out. On a smooth road or
the even surface of a race track the pace is a faster gait than
the trot, and almost with no aid from the breeders' art the
pacer has more than held his own against the trotter. Who
can doubt that if bred strictly within fast pacing lines, un-
contaminated with trotting foolishness, the despised side-
wheeler will in a few horse generations rival the speed of the
runner?

The unqualified assertion that the pace and the trot are
"one and the same thing, interchangeable and intertransmis-
sible," is not true in fact. Gait is defined by Webster to mean
"manner of walking or stepping," and it is absurd to Bay that
the pacer and the trotter have the same manner of stepping.
The two different gaits are in a measure interchangeable —
that is, trotters can be made to pace and pacers can be made
to trot, and often the same animal naturally goes at both
gaits, but the same is also true of running horses and trot-
ters. Their gaitB are also interchangeable, for both can go
at either gait, and do it naturally. That the trotting and
pacing gaits are interchangeable is true to the extent that
trotters will sometimes beget pacers and vice versa; but this
is doubtless due to the fact that both breeds are yet quite
impure, and a very short line will carry them back to a com-
mon ancestor. It is illogical to point with pride to the pac-
ing lineB in an otherwise trottiug pedigree, and then wonder
why that kind of a trotter gets pacers. The same remark
will apply to the pacer whose get belie his ancostry. If the
advocates of the interbreeding of pacers and trotters would
point out a few instances in which, after four or five genera-
tions of horse breeding, a paoer or trotter has failed in more
than an exceptional instance to impart his gait to his get, it
would be more to the point than a hundred fine-spun theor-
ies about the interchangeable ty and intermiasibility of the
two gaits.

Hambletonian had no pacing cross in his pedigree, and
of his 2:30 list not one is a pacer; aud out of his forty-four
daughters who are producers, not one is the dam of a 2:30
pacer.

Messenger, the fountain head of the trotting breed, ranks
in all stud-books aB a thoroughbred, and Mr. Wallace says
"no thoroughbred ever paced." Electioneer, who holds the
fastest yearling record through his graud-daughter and the
two and four-year-old records through his daughters, and in
his power to impart purity of gait and extreme trotting
Bpeed holdB the first place as a Btallion, has five generations

Thoroughbreds and Full Bloods.

Much has been written and talked on the subject of thor-
oughbreds and pure bloods. * The two terms get confounded
with many people. Says Mr. Stephen Powers, a gentleman
who is authority on these subjects: "In popular language
full-blood and thoroughbred are used as synonyms; when
used in reference to horses there is a well defined dif-
ference between them wnMJuit would argue ignorance to
neglect. Some writers srarV establish a difference also
when they are used in refeWBe to sheep, and in this way:
A full blood is one in whose veins there is no admixture or
strain of any other blood but the Spanish, while a thorough-
bred is all that and something more. A sheep may be a
full-blood or a pure blood, and yet be so deficient in form or
fleece as to be unfit for a breeder. Bat a thoroughbred is the
outcome of a long line of ancestors which, beginning with
pure-blood, have been so consummately moulded by man to
special purpose that this last and finished product is, so to
speak, incapable of bearing or begetting a progeny different
from itself. * * Pedigree is like a long train of cars; it
runs with strong momentum, and it runs straight. An ani-
mal whose pedigree originated yesterday is like a single car;
it rocks to and fro and is liable to swing off the track. I
mean by pedigree here the combined forces or values'of pure
blood, constitutional vigor and a prepotency trained to a
certainty. Breeders like to claim for their favorijfce stock
something akin to papal infallibility. They say, in effect,
given a thousand years' pedigree in your breeding floclf and
you cannot get an inferior animal as a product, But this
assertion can hot stand. Twin rams, twin bulls, own broth-
ers in a family disprove it every day by their radical differ-

Running Horses and Races at Ifcemo and Car-
1 son.

The'people of Nevada are truly a raciDg people and deoid-
edly in favor of the runners, as any one who attended the
fairs just held at Reno and Carson can testify.

The State Fair at Eeno owed its success greatly to the
efforts of Mr. Theo. Winters, the President, a man than whom
there is no horseman in America better known. Mr. Winters,
at his own expense, had just had erected — one on each Bide
of the track — two stands, a judges' and timers', each stand a
model of convenience and graceful architecture. They are
built on stone foundations, and under the judges' Btand is
the secretary's office, while under the timers' is the>weighing
room. In many wayB could ba seen the guidiDg hand of the
president; instead of being in the stand to see and be seen,
he was around with the people, entertaining and making
each one feel at home; watching the starting, and keeping an
eye over all. Eight here let me say a word for the starting
both at Eeno and Carson, and I would that the staiter at the
P. C. B. H. A. meeting might profit by it and do likewise.
Let the starter take his position about twenty yards before
the starting post and Bend bis assistant back 75 or 100 yards
with the horse and bring them up abreast, then we may be
able to have Borne good starts. It worked like a charm in
Nevada, and if managed here should do the same.

The running races at Eeno were good. On the first day
Eondo ran a quarter in 22 Beconds (how would § between
Geraldine. Eondo and some others at the Blood Horse be?}
Later on during the week, Mr. Winters ran off his two-year-
olds. The sister to Miss Courtney, Alia, and others, ran
seven-eighths of a mile in an Owner's Handicap in 1:28, though
many outside watches made it 1:29^, 1:29^. Florence A , a
chestnut filly by Joe Hooker, dam Atalanta, won the five-
eights mile for two year-olds in 1:03, a great run for the high
altitude; equal to about 1:02 or 1:02} at the Bay District,

Hotspur beatNervaone mile inl:45j, and Johnny Gray beat
Applause three-quarters of a mile in 1:17£. Installation,
carrying 116£ pounds, won the only three-year-old race of
the meeting, running the five furlongs in 1:04. There were
several other running races during the meeting, but the
above was the best.

By far the finest traok seen by the writer in Nevada was
the new track at Carson, which in time will be fast, although
the elevation is about 5,000 feet. The fair of 1889 was one
of the best and most enjoyable race meetings it has yet been
our lotto attend, and never have we seen a moreoblisine and
accommodating Secretary than Mr. Torreyson. While Presi-
dent Lee entertained his visitors and kept an eye over all,
the Secretary was an host in himself. Would that there were
more men in that most important office like him, for if a
great deal depends upon the President of an association,
more depends upon che Secretary.

The racing at Carson was good. Mr. Winter's Florence A.
won the two-year-old race § in 1:06, the track about 1£ sec-
onds slow. Painkiller won the | free for all in 1:12 fully as
good aB 1:01 over any of the Calitornia tracks. Look out for
him in the Eecord Stakes November 19th. Florence A won
the | free for all from Painkiller and Nerva, the three finish-
ing only heads apart in the best race of the meeting, the J-

in this race by the local talent owing to his having won four
straight races over the same course last July. Dynamite on
the rails took the lead at the start, and kept it to the finish,
Moliie coming in half a length behind and Black Jack a
cmple of lengths behind her. Time, 0:34i.

The second and last race was the m"Bt exciting one of the
week, as it was generally understood that the horseB were
going to run for "blood," but a good many of the sports had
"gor on to a pointer," to the effect that Solano Chief was to
take the race, and so pools were eagerly bought on the horse
all round, but alas for the inconsistency of tbe turf, the mare
won easily, and sure thing men got hurt.

First Heat — After very little scoring the horses were started
in the order Darned, with Nellie Johnson to the pole and in
the lead, which she kept until in the homestretch, when
Solano Chief forged ahead and came under the wire by a
neck, The Bull third. Time, 3:01£.

Second Heat — This was not quite as fiue a heat as the
former, Nolhe Johnson taking tbe lead from the start and
keeping it throughout. Solano Chief and The Bull alternated
for second place several times, both breaking considerably
throughout the heat. Nellie came in about four lengths
ahead, The Bull second, and Solano Chief third Time, 3:01£.

Third Heat — Won by SoUno Chief, Nellie Johnson second,
The Ball third. Time, 3:04f.

Fourth and Fifth Heats—Won by Nellie Johnson, the first
in 3:04} and the last in 3:04, after gome splendid trotting, in

The Cowboy's Story.

Ey g. A. Sxkes.

"I'll tell you, stranger, 'oout a time when us fellera that
thought we was smart got most 'fernally left. If you tell it
to any one else don't give right names nor places, fur some
of the bojB ain't got over feeling sore 'bout it yet, and it
might lead to trouble. Ds fellers 'round here is pooty civil
and quif-t, yet as we all Carry seven-shooters a tuts ain't de-
sirable, fur several reasons.

'*There's a lot of cow-punchers lives on a ranch not far
from San Pedro, aod being as we're riding all day long we
got the notion that we could stick on a hoss, not taking sec-
ond place to nobody at that same. The boss of the ranch,
Jack Miuton, is an all-fired good rider himself, and the fact
of us bein' on his ranoh proves that we can stay in the sad-
dle arter we have climed up. lor he tries all new comers on
'the ugliest cuss of a buck-jumper you ever seen. If the new
feller can stick on, all right; there's a job for him at the best
wages given in this State; if the backer chucks him off, he
can travel.

"One day we heard that a feller was coming from the East,
one of the crack jockeys from the big tracks; a feller that rode
horses as was worth fifty thousand dollars each. He was
some distant relation to the boss — his mother-in-law's Bister's
third coubid, or something like that— and was coming on to
see our place and re6t a spell, fur he was done out with hard
work. Now, us fellers ain't got no thoroughbred hosses on
the ranch, but we nave got some as kin travel a little, and we
all had the idea that we could ride a hoss as well, if not bet-
ter, than this feller that was coming on to visit us.

"Naturally we was all awfnl carious to see this crack
jockey, and, to tell tne truth, we was all a little jealous of his
reputation, fur our ridin' was the one thing we was proud of.
It's the only fan we can have anyway, since sheriffs and jails
have got so thick that a feller can't use his shootin'-iron.

"At last the Eastern feller came, and all the boys 'cept
them that was out herdin' was wait in' 'round the door. I
couldn't believe I was seein' right when the feller came up;
he was something bo different from anything I've ever seen
or expected. He was a little bit of a skinny, half-starved
lookin' ohap; didn't look as if he could sit a yearlin' — a good
puff of wind would blow him away. I must own, though,
that he was a decent sort of a little feeler, pleasant and ob-
ligin', and not at all stuck-up, nor fresh. He tried to make
friends with the boys, but they wouldn't sca'ce be civil to
him. It was strange how his bein' a boss rider affected all of
us. If he had been anything else we would likely have
treated him altogether different.

"The little Eastern feller (we will call him Folsom) loafed
ronnd the ranch, goin' 'round by himself, seemin' to be
pooty lonesome, though he had quit tryin' to make friends
of us fellers, and no doubt tbinkin' we was a all- tired mean
set of cusses — and he was 'bout right.

"One day after a big round-up we didn't have much more
to do, and 'bout sun-down one of the boys paid: 'Let's see
how the dude jockey can ride.' Folsom hadn't so much as
mounted a hoss Bince he had been on tbe place, so the notion
caught on pooty well, and one of the boys went to the house
to fetch him, while enother roped the worst buck-jumper be
could catch and saddled him. 'By the time the ho3S was
ready Folsom come up, and one of the boys asked him if he
wouldn't like to try a Texas broncho, sayin' 'that of course
he would find him 'fernal slow after the hosses he was used
to ridin', but hoped that he would lind him fast enough to
make ridin' pleasant.'

"Folsom knew that something was up, for he couldn't
help knowin' that we wouldn't all be waitin' that way for
nothin', and would have refused to ride, only didn't like to,
may be thinkin' we would fancy he was scared. The hoss
stood pooty quiet till tbe little feller mounted, and then the
fun commenced. Fust the hoss got his head down aDd then
he was boss of the situation and run things to suit himself.
He humped his back and went up and down till be nearly
jarred the backbone out of Folsom . We all stood and laughed,
though the feller on the hoss wasn't enjoying it, and when
the hoss lifted the little feller and laid him out on the grass
we was almost wild. Our ridin' was all right now, we was in

no dinger of competition from the East, and soon as Folsom
came to his senses arter his fall we forgave him and treated
him decent; we had seen to our satisfaction that we was (he
best riders, and could afford to be generous.

"We was goin' to have a big Fourth of July in San Pedro,
and the managers of the thing was gittiog np all sorta of en-
tertainments and fireworks and other kind of fooleries. There
was to be a hoss race, too, and the prize was tne pootiest
saddle I ever sot eyes on. It hung in the newspaper office
window, and every one as eeen it wanted it. Jack Minton
has got the name round them parts — and earned it too— of
haviog the best hosses and the beBt riders in the country,
consequently we looked upon that saddle as belonging to our
ranch. We had five hosses on our place that could run away
from anything else we had, and there was four of us wanted
to ride in the race, bo we tossed up to see which hosses we
should ride. Each had their pick aud took the four best
ones, and there was oue left and no one cared to ride him; so
at breakfast one mornin' Jack said to the Eastern jockey.
'Folsom, won't you take the fifth hoss and ride him; there's
only our boys to ride against, so you ought to come in
ahead?"

"No thanks,' Folsom answered, 'I guess I won't ride; I
didn't have'great success with my first broncho. I'll let the
Texas boys right it out between themselves.'

"It will add an awful lot to the interest of the thing if you
ride,' Jcak said, 'the horses are all nearly equal in speed, so
your chance is as good as anyone's.'

"The boss' wife now said: 'Mr. Folsom, we shall all be
dreadfully disappointed if you won't ride; W9 don't often
have visitors in these parts; when we do, we expect them to
do their share in helping along any entertainment we may be
baving.1

"Well, I will ride,' answered the little fellow, 'but please
understand, I don't ride for my own pleasure, nor with the
hope of winning, but merely to oblige my hostess.'

"He turned to Jack ana said: I'll ride on two conditions:
one is that my horse shall not be a buck-jumper. I dare say
I could stay on a bucker; but it don't pay to try; and the
other condition is that I may have the entire charge of my
horse from now until after the race.'

"Jack consented to this, and we guaranteed that his hoss
wouldn't buck; so the thing was settled. The little feller was
to ride Paolo, while I was up on Bowie Knife, and the other
three boys was to have Texas, Greaser and Lone Star. Paolo,
the Eastern jockey's hoss, was a little Blower than the other
four, but the four had it nip and tuck every time we run'em.
We had raced them over and over again, and sometimes one
would win and sometimes another, still they could all jest
beat Paolo every time enough to make it sure, and tbe race
would be between us four.

"Knowin,' then, that we was all right, we though we
would have tbe thicg done in grand style, so went down to
the committee in charge of the ceremonies and told them
that the Eastern feller waB goin' to race against us, and tellin'
them to get a lot of bills and things printed and distribute
them around plenty. The committee was only too glad to
get such an attraction, and soon they had big, red posters
stuck up on every wall in tbe country, beBide3 sendin' hand-
bills everywhere, headed, 'East andWest. A contest between
a great EaBtern jockey and Texas cowboys. A chance of a
life-time. Come aud see the struggle for the prize for beBt
horsemanship.

"When Folsom found what a fuss was bein' made about
this race, he said he was very Borry he had ever promised to
eater. One thing I liked about the feller was that as he
seemed to be in for it he made up his mind to do the best he
could, and went right to work on the hoss be was to ride.
He took Paolo and rode him every mornin', exercisin' him
lots, and did'nt feed him hardly anything, and then he used
to rub that hoss till his hide looked near as pooty as my gal's
Sunday dress.

' We gave our horses plenty to eat, believin' in having' them
strong and hearty, and didn't work them any for three days
before the Fourth, thinkin' that a good rest was the best thing
they could have, and that they would run all the better and
stronger fur it. I had done whatever I thought was the best
for my hoss, and was figarin' on bein' clas to the front when
we finished the race, when an accident happened to me
which settled my chances.

"The next mornin' I was fixin' Bowie Knife up, when the
onery cuss wheeled round and kicked me right on the ankle.
It was a bad kick, and my leg kept swellin' all the time, and
it wasn't long before I couldn't stand on it, and had to get it
fixed and bandaged. I was wild enough with tbe disappoint-
ment and pain to shoot the tirst man that looked at me cross-
eyed. The chief thing that made me so mad was this: I had
made up my mind to win that saddle or bust, for my gal was
to be there. She's good lookin', smart, and likes me, and her
old father is darned well fixed, and it would have been sev-
eral points gained for me if she thought I was the best rider
on Jack's ranch.

"We all made a good deal of fun of the way ia which Fol-
som was treatin' the critter he was to ride. He didn't give
Paolo nuthin' to eat the night before the race, and neither
grub nor drink on tbe followin' mornin', and one of the boys
asked him if a horse could run better when he was half-
starved.

'Folsom took a little bit of a saddle far his hoss, and he
fixed up a bridle to suit himself, and when he was goin' to
mount I noticed as how he muBt have weighed twenty poands
less than the other boyB, fur be didn't have scarcely any
clothes on, and had took all the weight out of his saddle and
bridle that he could. The race was to be 'bout two inileB.

"The little Eastern jockey had any quantity of dust, and a
lot of tbe boys, includin' myself, bad just received our pay
fur the past six months, and hadn't had no chance to spend
it; consequently, we was pooty flush, too, and got talk in
money jnst before the race. One of tbe boys that had a lit-
tle rye in him offered to bet Folsom two to one for all the
money he bad that Paolo would come in last. The little fel-
low's face flushed and he covered the money in Jack's bands,
and then offered to take all the bets he could get at that odds.
I and every other fellow thought it was jast findin' money,
so we banded out our piles, and there was some pretty lively
beltin'.

''Of course the hosses and riders attracted lots of attention
when they came out on tbe track, and the little jockey was
stared at and talked about by everyone. Tbe cow-punchers
didn't have sense enough to 'tend to their bnsinesp, but bad
to go 'round talkin' to their friends, and sbowin' off by ruu-
nin' up and down in front of the folks. The start waB de-
layed an awful while by those darned champs actin' ao fool-
ish, and (he committeeman that was to start 'em got sick of
waitin' and was swearin' like a Dutch pilot. Paolo stood at
the starter's point, with Folsom settin'on him, keepin' quiet
and not makin' a fool of himself, like the other fellers was.

"At last they was started off.| Lone 8tar streaked to the
front right away, goin' like a politician after an office, and
all the others except Paolo keepin' up with him.

■"The little fellow on Paolo lay back nearly three rods be-
hind the rest, and kept droppin' further and farther back,
and Beeio' this, sayB I to my gal, 'Susie, that fool don't
know enough to set on a fence, let alone a hoss.'

" 'No,' says Susie, 'it's no use Ihe Eastern folks tryin' to
ride against our Texas boys.'

"The hosBea had to go twice round a circle that was staked
off, aud when they come past us the fast time Lone Star was
still leadin', with the others haogin' on to him, and all wal-
lopin' their critters like Injuos. They jumped by, kickin'
chunks of dirt at us, and turned round the bend before Paolo
reached the place where Snsie and I was tBettin'. Folsom
hadn't so much as used his whip yet.

_ " 'He wou't be half round agiin before the other's have fin-
ished,' Susie said.

" 'No, and 'tain't likely, neither,' says I; Mho feller ain't
given that hoas nuthin" to eat fur ten o*ays. What kin you
expect of a hoss that's forgot what a sqaare meal feels like?"

"I got to foolin' with the— I Bint the fust man that's forgot
to 'tend to business through foolin' with a gal, neither— and
next tiae I looked up the boys was comin' rooud the last hah'
still whippin' like mad, and I could see that their bosses
had got 'bout all the runnin' they wanted, fur they bad been
greasin' round the track pooty lively. Our boys run and run
until they was comin' round the bend and^ into the straight
run fur where the judges was Btandin' and they was still
clas together, that 1b, the four of 'em, but the boys had all
they could do to keep goin', fur the hosses was 'bout run out.
Next I looked far Paolo, and seen him comin' up from the
rear like the Galveston express. It 'peered to me that Paolo
wasn't coin' no faster yet, but that tne others was droppin'
back to him. It was a lucky thing that the others was so
far ahead of Paolo, else, goin' as he was, he would have
caught 'em sure as shoolin', but I thought they was too close
to the finish fur to be caught now. When all the horBes
oome iolo the straight I was Btandin' up by this time, and if
I hadn't been able to see every hoss as plain as the fingers on
my hand I'd have thought that I was dreamin'. Paolo swung
round the corner clus to the leaders — too darned clus to suit
me— and then the infernal little cusb that was ridiu' him
changed his style altogether, and went to workin'on his own
account. He had been half standin' in his stirrups all the
time, so far, but now he sat down, gripped that bronoho of
his with his knees, tightened up his reins and worked his
whip like fury. My fingers was workin', and I even let go
the gal, I was so excited, and my heart thumped against my
ribe like a steer's hoofs.

"Comin' like a tornado, that blamed Paolo closed up with
the other bosses, takin' strides of fifteen feet to their ten, and
takin' 'em twice as quick, runnin' as if he was jest out from
the stable inBtead of havin' run two miles. The hosses was
now cIub to me, and I could see every hair on 'em, and I got
a lesson in ridin' from Folsom, and my opinion of him
changed pooty sudden. Our boys were all ridin' with their
reins loose, and their hosses were reelin' from side to Bide as
if they were drunk. Folsom kep' his rein tight, almost seem-
in' to hold his hoss steady by it, and ridin' him straight for-
ward, 'stead of from side to side, and though the feller had
been catcbin' up as tast as any decent feller ud wish fur, he
hadn't let all of hiBs hoss out yet, and jast before they got to
me he shot out like a streak of lightnin' and I could feel my
hair liftin' my sombrero off my head as the feller rushed pa3t
all the rest and let daylight between him and them.

"This was all so quick and so surprisin' there wasn't a
sound made. I don't believe the folks thongbt they was
seein' right, but there it was, all plain as daylight.

'•Oh, Sam!' Susie says, "he's won.'

" 'So the cuss haB,' I says, watchin' the hosses still.

"The boys seein' Paolo pass 'em, whooped and yelled and
lammed their hosses till their hides were raw; but in spite
of all they could do the EaBtern feller kep' drawin' right
away from 'em. and galloped passed the judges with his boss
still pooty fresh and himself lookin' round over his shoulder
at the fellers behind him. I tell you we felt pooty cheap
after that, and the ones that had done the most blowin' felt
the meanest.

"The r^astern feller didn't crow none, nor seem to be ex-
cited any. but jest acted as if nothing had happened. But
when Jack was goin' to pay him the bets arter we got home
to the ranch, as we was all gathered there. Folsom flushed
up, and said: 'Gentlemen, I can't say that I have met with
very cordial treatment, but I won't Bay anything about that.
Now, about this money. I ask Mr. Jack Minton, bb a favor
to me, to distribute it to those who placed it in his hands;
I have no wish and no intention to take it, and I know that
the gentlemen here can't afford to throw their money a-
way.

"Jack and none of us would agree to this for a long while,
but Folsom wouldn't take it, and so Jack returned it to us.
I tell you we felt a mean lot, and didn't like to show our-
selves. The Eastern feller acted like a gentleman, and when
he left Texas we gave him the greatest send-off ever seen in
these parts." — Horseman.

'Old Bill.*

William Hayward, the jockey, will, we hear, ride for Sen
ator Hearst next season. We do not know that it is definitely
settled but we have heard that Matt Allen, who trains the
stable horses, has negotiated with Hayward for his services
Bince his jockey, Hamilton, signed with Mr. Belmont, says
the N. Y. Spirit. The retirement of Mr. Cassatt leaves Hay-
ward without an engagement. He could ride as a sort of free
lance aud secure all the practice hewonld need, but Hayward
is a most conservative man. He prefers a steady engagement.
It is wholly opposed to his temperament to fight for his posi-
tion. He loves the security of posi*ion, is rather old-fash-
ioned, and has no valet; he carries his own traps about and
is always around when his stable's horse is running, and
whether he is riding or not deems it his duty to be present
and assist in making tbe horse's toilet.

Of course such actions are called "old-fa;hionedM nowa-
days, but we could well wish we bad more such old-fashioned
jockeys and less low-browed blackguards in the profession
with their "valets," their fine clothes end their swaggering
dissipations. We have known William Hayward for twenty
years and have watched his career stnte the day in 1867 when
he won the Westchester Cup, at Jerome Park, on Loadstone,
and we have never met a man who appeared nearer an ideal
of a jockey. As a horseman he has forgotten more than the
rest of the profession knows. As a man, whether as husband,
father or friend, he would form the model for a monarch. He
is never exalted by success or depressed by defeat. He pur-
sues the even tenor of his way with that modesty which is
the twin brother of genius. His fame is Fecure as tbe great-
est jockey of his lime, and in the "green and >
of Senator Hearst has a worthy champion.

LOS ANGELES.

MONDAY.

Four day's steady rain put ttie Los AngeleB traok in such a
condition at the beginning of last week that raoing was out of
the question and for a time it seemed as if the racing pro-
gramme of the Tenth Aqricnltural District would have to be
abandoned altogether, but on Thursday of last week tbe
bright sun showed itself again and the hearts of disheartened
horsemen went away up again. Just a little sunshine is all this
track needs and when the bell tapped Monday, Oct. 28th, to
oall on t the starters for the first race, the course was lumpy
and in many places very heavy, but still horses could go on it
nod go they did, in the presence too, of one of the best crowdB
seen in recent years at the track upon aa opening day.
Many of the old familiar faces, Heen all aronnd the circuit
were there, but in tbe main the crowd was made up of local
people, people new to the constant race-goer.

The events of the day were three in number, one trotting
and two running, the first to come off being a three minute
class trot. The Btarters were L. J. Felton's br g Othello, C,
A. Durfee'sbh Kaymon, J. D. Dunn's ch m Orphan Girl,
John T. Dodson's br m Duchess, and J. B Kennedy's b &
Danger. Very little betting was done and the race was
rather tame, Danger taking it in straight heats. It the firbt
heat they got off well together. Raymon was in front, with
Danger in second place as they went around the first turn,
the others trailing, Othello at a break. The positions were
held until they got well into the straight, when Kaymon, be-
ing crowded by Danger, went off his feet in a tangled break.
Danger kept his feet and trotted in an eaBy winner, Kaymon
second, Orphan Girl third, Duchess fourth. Oihello's bad
actions cost bim his distance. Time, 2:30|.

The second heat fell to Danger. He had the pole at the
start and never lost it. staying m the lead for the entire dis-
tance. On the backstretch he made several short runs.
Raymon was in second place until the Btraight was reached,
when Duchess passed him and finished second. Raymon got
third place and Orphan Girl fourth) Time, 2:30.

Danger was again to the fore in thestart for the third heat,
and stayed there, going the first half fast, and finishing the
last slowly, winning the heat and race easy, Raymon second,
Orphan Girl third. Duchess made a bad break as she swung
into the first turn and never recovered from it, finishing out-
side the flag. Time 2:331-.

b c King David, and M. A. Forster's ch t Juanita. Plinv was
tbe only thing in it. In the auction pooU he Bold lor $20 to
$12 for tbe held, and $7 for Steve Stroud. A good many
people fancied Stroud, and there.was a strongtip out on him,
bnt he sulked badly at the post, delaying the start for half
an hour, and when the flag at length went down he broke
away and then went over the fence. Pliny shoved in front
at once and waB never headed. Gambo and Rose Mead were
at the head of the pack. Cook, on Pliuy, laid the colt back
and gave him an easy run down the straight, finishing two
lengths away from Gambo, second, and three from Rose
Mead, third. Time :49L

Mikado 4, 116, and Kelly & Samuels' br m Welcome, 4. 115.
Pools opened with Mikado a warm favorite at $40 to $35 for
the field, and $7 for Welcome.

The favorite, who was regarded by the talent as almost a
sure thing, Buffered a surprising deft at. With very little
trouble they were sent away. Joe Narvaez bad the mount
on Treat, and when the flag dropped he rustled the gray op
and shot him through the gang and entered the first turn a
length to the good. Narvaez kept him going, and on tbe
baoKstretch was four lengths in front, and setting a lively
pace to kill the others in the heavy going. He succeeded.
Mikado made a play for him on the second turn, and got up
to within a length of him at the head of the stuiight, bnt he
was tired already, when Hitchcook began his work. The
chestnut had all the ran taken out of him. Treat was in
tronble, too, but the race was already won, and he went
under a length winner, with Mikado second and Welcome a
poor third. Time, 1 :43ft.

The Big Betting Men.

Something About the PJnngers who Have Come and
Then Gone.

When Plunger Walton was wiuning so much money in
this country and in England it was freely asserted that cer-
tain well known jockeys were riding for his money all the
time, but there came a period when, according to the scandal
mongers of that time, a counter combination was formed
against him, and he lost bo much money that he left England
owing Charlts Archer and others large sums of money. It
will be many a day before that memorable scene at Mon-
mouth Park, wheD Jam.s E. Kelly publicly denounced Wal-
ton to the judges as a manipulator of races, utterly fades
away.

So, too, when H. O Bernard was on the high tide of suc-
cess some six orBeven years ago. Though this well known
speculator told me in 1834, that he had lost upwards of a
million dollars on the turf in fifteen years, he, too, enjoyed
the unenviable distinction of having at some time had a party
of jo keys at his service, ready to do bis bidding, and there
came a time at Brighton Beach when the public, led by Geo.
Ster ing, were so incensed at tbe re>ult of a race said to be
influenced by Bernard, that be had to be escorted from the
track by a squad of police.

And yet, n the truth was known, none of these plungers
really earned the name they enjoyed. Just as the report now
goes that the coloied plunger, Charlie Jordan, was ordered
away fiom Washington Park last summer bt c mse of his sus-
picions winning-1, bo it was with Bernard and Walton in their
prime. They were recipients of cartain information as to the
real capacity of horses engaged in races, and, being capita-
lists, were able to back them heavily, and the inevitable re-
sult was tbat the ring of bookmakers squealed and charges of
fraud were made.

But just as sure as night follows day bankiuptcy will over-
take plungers. "Plungers" in tbi* sense meins foolish bet-
tors who play wildly without any knowledge whatever of
horses' form. Compared with these nn-u's operations the
daily transactions of men like Mr. M. Dwyer are not to be
mentioned in the same breath. Every big bet ever m-tde by
that astute torfman bad solid fouudation.

I reoollect tbe day at Sheepshead Bay oprning meeting
when Hanover and Kingston started fiom the Dwyer stable,
while they were opposed by Badge (who had on the day be-
fore lun a mile in 1:40), Eol an and Hypocrite. Tbe most
unaccountable thi g connected with that race was the good
price tbat could ahvajs be got against either Hanover or
Kingston or both.

It was the chanre of a lifetime to land a moderate fortune,
and Mr. Michael Dwyer took occasion to do it. He flrat sent
commissioners all around the ring to back Hanover straight
and place, and Kingston for a place, he intending to have bis
two horses finish that way. When bis commissioners re-
turned and reported that there was still a good price to be
got agtunst Kingston for a place on the BuppoBition that
Badge could and would "split" Hanover and Kingston, the
great plunger reached deep down into his c»pacions pockets
for all the thousand-dollur bills that be had Ufc and sent his
men into the ring again to back Kingston for yet more money
for a place.

Though the two horses ran first and second, as exp cted,
if it hadn't been for a trifling circumstance, Mr. Dwyer
might have quit a loser on that track instead of the big u in-
ner tbat he was. All who Baw tbe race werd convinced tbat '
Kingston could have won if permitted. Hamilton was on
him, and bnt for the brief interview that buth Mike Dwyer
and Billy Lakeland hsd with him just before the race he
would have "upset the apple-can" to a certainty.

"Did you tell Hamilton to be second to let Hanover win?'
asked Lakeland of Mr. Dwyer.

*'I don't know. I suppose that he took it for granted that
Hanover was to win," was the answer.

"'Well, you'd better see him aud tell bim.' answered Lake-
land. And it took both Lakeland and Mr. D.vyer some lit-
tle time to convince Hamilton that he was all right, that it
was witbin the law to win with either of the two hoiees.
Finally Lakeland pjsitively assured him that he would be re-
sponsible if there was any trouble about it aud then tbe race
was run and Mr. Dwyer sto iped in bet3 three different ways.

Here was a case where Mr. Dwyer knew exactly what he
was doing; know that his horses were both well; knew that
Badge's mile in 1:40 the day before was one good reason
why he was not likely to run it again as fast; and putting his
money down with perfect Bafety, picked it np again with mag
niflcent interest. Compare with such operations as this, the
doings of Charlie JordaD, William Walker, Andrew, Thomp-
son, etc. are but child's play.

The race which is said to have netted Walker, Jordan, etc.,
over $30,000 (jhat won by Punster, Jr.) was really a very
small bet of $200 against about $3,000, and, on Jordan's part
was a pure accident; for intending to put the $100 on some
other horse, be met a friend in the ring who bad <aktn a
long chance on Punster Jr. at about 40 to one and Jordan's
$100 went on the same colt to an average price of 28-4 to 1.

"Anybody who follows Charley Jordan's bets will go broke."
was the emphatic declaration of one of the closest friends,
and any man familiar with the eomet like cireers of so many
of our race- track plungers who, however, do not survive
more than the season.

Much capital has been made about Mr. Robert Campbell's
immense winnings, alleged to have been carried in a carpet
bag to a bank. Any race-g^er knows that Compbell is Mr.
E. J. Baldwin's trainer; that he owned Protection, winner
of the Junior Champion Stake worth over $25,000 and that
he had a perfectly legitimate reason for carrying so much
money in a carpet-bag, in as ninch as he was looking for a
place to invest it.

William Walker, another colored member of the alleged
trust, is one of the BhrewdeBt judges of horst flesh in this
country. This is the jockey who rode the famouaTen Broeok
in all his races, against time and against other horses. Wal-
ker is said to be one of the best judges of "form"in the conn-
try, and he has a right to his winnings on that giound a-
lone.

Aa for the charge that the colored jockeys Henderson, Ham-
ilton and Mnrphy are in the alleged colored trust, it is tie
veriest nonsense. Would enoh keen judges of racing as the
Dy war Brothers, August Belmont and others keep c instant-
ly puttiug these jookeys on their horsts if they had any
ground for supposing (bat there was a "combination?" Ham-
ilton has just been engaged for next season by Mr. Belmont
at a salary of $10,000 a year. Would this have come bo pass
if thure was any substantial charge against Hamilton's hon-
esty ?

Kaiser Wilhelm's Stables.

To all lovers of horses — and he who does not love the
beautiful, intelligent creatures, whose eye never rests with
pleasure upon their gloBsy coals, curves of strength and
grace, and limb-3 instinct with life and action, must be either
a misanthrope (on the principle, or rather against the prin-
ciple, of "love me, love my dog"), or a donkey-driver — to all
other classes of mankind except these two, one of the most
interesting sights in a capital city is that of the Koyal stables,
■writes a correspondent in the Prince Edwards Island Agricul-
turist. The Konigliche Marstall of Emperor Wilhelm II. in
Berlin is no exception. The building is situated in a street
opening into a large square at the south side of the palace,
with which it communicates by telephone. GoiDg under the
deep archway of the main entrance, you open a door to the
left, and are at once in an atmosphere emphatically "horsey,"
though not a horse is to be seen. Here are other people
waiting to be shown through the stables, and you mechani-
cally join the long row sitting bolt upright upon stiff little
cushioned chairs, and gazing with absorbing interest upon
the colored prints of celebrated horses on the opposite wall.
Grooms, footmen and coachmen lounge about the room,
smoking of course, or swaggering in and out with the whole
glorvof theHohenzollern House resting upon their individual
shoulders. The air is thick with the odor which is to the
nostrils of the groom or jockey as that of a pine forest to the
pott. "Who shall say which has the finer sense? To one
comes a breath, and he hears the plaintive sighing of the
woods; he sees cool gre6n recesses and walks over softly car-
peted mounds; layer upon layer of brown pine needles grow
warm in stray sunbeams, tilling the air with Iheir sweetness;
or clouds gather, the winds rises to fnrv, the low moanings
to cries of anguish, branch tossing upon branch, green masses
upon green Hang back again, twisting, writhing, crashing,
falling, the whole forest shaking and rocking to its very
depths. And his soul also goes out on the winds and returns
larger and fuller of energy.

What of the other? Scenteth he not strength and the rush-
ing of wind in the breath from these qniveribg nostrils? The
sharp music of whip3, the low rolling of wheels, and the cries
of horsemen till his ears. Clouds are under the feet of the
horses; their panting is like distant surge and the foam cf
their flying scatters like snow; they breathe out tire, their
coming is like the rush of the mighty wind. Hear the tramp-
ling of hoofs and the earth quaking for ftar! If you indulge
in any reflections of this nature, you are likely to be inter-
rupted just here by the entrance of a short, dumpy looking
personage in a cocked hat and long coat flapping about a pair
of gaitered calves in a vain attempt to cover them with the
dignity befitting muscles waxed gross in the service of roy-
alty. A most unlikely vessel of precioos poetical ointment
*'Jke Diener, ratine Damen unci Iferrn,,' he informs the com-
pany, and all rise and follow him through a small court to
the door Jof the stables. How light and warm and clean
everything is! And here in a long row of fifty stalls are the
favoiiie horses of the present emperor, every one of them
coal black, shining and glossy as a raven's wing, of a nearly
uniform size, standing perhaps fourteen and a half hands
high, clear but muscular limbs, small heads and intelligent
eves, as tine a show of carriage horses as one could wish to
see. Each one is robed in a small yellow blanket embroid-
ered with red, and tied up in his place by a baiter of clean,
white webbing. In each corner of the blankets is an em-
broidered crown with the name Wilhelm underneath, and
each stall post is topped with a gilded crown.

As in horse life happiness depends upon condition, these
Burely cannot de&ire another Elysium than this, even
could they wander forever in green pastures groomless
and halterless. But, ob, for the poor animals that stand in
tumble-down barns shivering in the cold blasts that sweep
through and through every gaping orack, Dosing wistfully in
the handful of musty hay flung down the night before at the
end of a broken pitchfork, and thankful even for morning,
with its cruel frosty iron bit thrust remorslessly into the sore
unwilling mouth. Toss your heads, royal creatures, and
think, if you think at all: "Oh, they're used to it." Happy
you and they never to wonder "why?"

Note the printed placards over the head of each stall.
They tell the names of the animals, thoBe of their sires and
dams, and in some cases their ages. Those four beautiful
ones standing there together— Hammeralein" "Faber" "Vi-
do" and "Dioscur"— are favored by the Kaiser before all the
rest. So sajs the guide, in a tone of proprietorship of the
whole establishment, the Kaiser included, while a groom
rubbing down one of the horses redoubles his efforts in a
mute protest and claim to partial ownership himself. His
white cap, scarlet jacket, black plush breeches and leathern
gaiters, strengthen his claim wonderfully, from a picturesque
point of view, but render it, in this sober-beclad generation
of gentlemen, less likely to become established. But pass

on now to other rows of stalls, most of them occupied (there
are four hundred animals all told) by horses of a'l sizes end
of every shade except white and gray, but a sort oi fawn col-
or with black pointB prevailing.

, Yonder is a row of very tine bays, but the center of altric-
tion at this stage of inspection is no less an important piece
of horse flesh than "Alexander," the favorite horse of the
"Dear Old Kaiser," as Wilhelm I is familiarly called. He is
a large chestnut, standing tally sixteen hands high, and
seemingly quite aware of his own importance. He is now
quite old, and as the Germans pay, lamm-fromm, or gentle
as a lamb. How he enjoys the homage paid to him as each
member of the company steps up to bestow the customary
rub and pat! The delicate nostrils quiver, the lips turn up,
the fine head mo\es up and down caressingly againsL the
hands that caress in tirn for the Bake of the beloved dead
master. A little further on is the favorite riding horse of the
present emperor, of the same color and style as the other,
bnt somewhat smaller, and decidedly of a temper not to be
trifled with.

In the center of the quadrangle about which the stalls are
ranged is a large roofed-in space used as a riding-school. The
guide throws open a door and every one presses up against
a high plank wall on which a dim yellow atmosphere thick
with flying dust is visible. The tallest, by dint of much tip-
toeing can just manage to gat the upper halves of their e\eB
above the top of the wall, and are rewarded by the sight of
more clouds of dust and a few dark forms moving about in
circles therein. Very interesting and exceedingly satisfactory
especially to the people whom no amount of stretcning, both
by limb and by neck, can raise to the seeiDg point.

Retracing your Bteps and passing over another caurt the
next objects of interest Bhown are the carriagesand equipages
used by the royal family, both on common and upon state
cccasions. The former was one of the very plainest, small
closed carriages with dark red painted wheels and springs.
The state equ'pages are more elaboiate, prolu^ely decorated
with gold and silver ornaments, lined with deiicate colors in
satin, brocade, silk and velvet. One quaint looking affair,
with wheels like those of an immense hay wagon, is entirely
overlaid with gold and the coats-of arms on the panels crust-
ed thick with imitation jewels. Frederick the Great ones
rode in it, but not so eas , "one dare swear," as upon his
renowned skimmel, which by the way, may still be seeD, at
least his hide with a few remaining hairs streched over a
wooden frame, in one of the rooms of the HoheDzollen muse-
um. Von have heard the old saying.

"If wishes were horse beggars might ride." What if the
beggars were set aside of the real unridden horses in the
world? In truth a brave Bhow that, and no eoLJured-np steeds
taking to themselves wings, the whiles rags and tatterB creep
painfully over the stones below. A brave Bhow, and one to
lend speed to the feet of the horses themselves. How the
tags ends would flutter, how the unkempt hair stream out on
the wind, how the thin fingers would clutch at the name and
saddle gitth, and the poor tired feet cling for dear life to the
hot sides of the flying steeds! A biave show, but one wbich
the world will never see. Poor boggart! they may not ride,
and the high horses go unridden.

The hsrness rooms still remain unseen. They are in the
second story — two long rooms filled with Bets of harness,
whips, saddlep, rosettes, plumes, ect., all in glass cases, read*
y for use at a moment's notice, and kept in the most exquis-
ite order. Two saddles of beautiful workmanship, with
cloths of embroidered pilk and adorned with jewels, are es-
pecially noticeable. They were a present from the Sultan
of Turkey to the Kaiser and Kaserin but have never been us-
ed. The finest h- rnees of all is a set for eight horses, Eilver
mounted, profnsely ornamented models of the Prussian
crown, the double eagle, and other designs of the same met-
al. Close beside is a set of trappings belonging to the sev-
enteenth century, of lightcolored leather, trimmed with pa fl-
ings of green and rose-colored silk. The guide hurries on,
expectant of his feep, and the scraps of customary informa-
tion fall scantier. But you have heard and seen enough to
know that, with the exception of the feathers and silver cord
of the footmen and coachmen, the ordinary driving appoint-
ment of the emporor of Germany are no more than may,
with good taste, be displayed by the plainest gentleman in
all the land. Be not deluded by any pretentions which eith-
er the befeathered and beribtoned gentleman aforesaid, or
the still more high-stepping grooms may make to the rcyul
crown and possessions, particularly at the door upon depart-
uie, where would be noble hands graciously condescend to
effect exchanges between your pocket and their own with a
celerity and ease quite impossible except to those "to the
manner born."

BRAINS AND HEART.

Judge Goodwin's Opinion of Marcus Daly.

Jadge Goodwin, the veteran, and able editor of the Salt
Lake Tribune, has been making a visit to Montana. From
his letter dated at Anaconda and published in the Tribune
of Sunday last, the following is taken:

Looking out from the upper works one sees all their mighty
outlines, he sees in the distance a prosperous growing town
that has been called into existence by these works, and leal-
izes what a transfiguration comes when a mine capable of
supplving 1,000,000 tons of ore annually is developed by
shrewd brains. Of course the head of the concern is a little
king, and as he is absent and does not know that I am writ-
ing this letter, I can devote a few linos to him without creating
the suspicion that his presence prompted them. The dullest
man can see the works and the mine, and can see that it
took a masterful brain to develop the one and construct the
other. But there is more to Marcus Daly than all that. His
presence is felt all around. You look up at the electric light
overhead and understand that it is but a little offshoot from
the dynamos that supply the great works. You drink a
glass of water and ynu know that almost without noise a cer
tatn man supplied the perfect water system to the town. Out
a little way is a beautiful race track, and there are evidences
of expenditure of some more thousands by this same uihd,
while all around are people engaged iu manifold enterprises
and apparently prosperous, and when the matter is inquired
into it will be seen that behind the actor there is a substan-
tial shadow snpportiDg the man. One example shows bow
things are. There was a fire entailing great loss to a man in
Botte, last Sunday, On Monday morning as the man stood
Burvejiug the ruins, a little man tapped him on tbe shoulder
and said: "Brace up. There is a credit of 550,000 placed to
your account over in the bank; brace up and go to work."
Big brains are not uncommon, big hearts are not so very
rare, but big brains are not always over big hearts.

Former English Racing Establishments.

Fifty years ago Lord George Beutinck — "The Napoleon of
the Tnri" as be has been styled — was at the height of his
power, and at his instigation sweeping reforms were made.
He punished delinquents for trivial offences with most unre-
lenting severity. He also framed rules, or was the cause of
their being made, for the guidance of officials, and when
broken he fined the offenders without compunction. He was
the first who gave high prices for yearlings and brood mares.
Befoie his time brood mares were usually bought for about
£200 or £250, wherea°, through his influence, the price was
quickly raised to £700 or £800 apiece. He had the largest
breeding establishments in England, at DoncaBter and Dane-
bury, containing about seventy brood mares, many of which
were the most costly and best bred mares in existence, te-
Bides several stallions. Camerine he purchased for 1.500
guineas, and a yearling afterward called Glenlivet, for 1,000
guineis at Sir Mark Wood's swle, Hare Park, Newmarket.
He purchased of Lord Jersey, Bay Middleton for a stallion,
for which he gave £4 000, a price uever given before for any
three year old that had broken down and was not fit for
raciog.

Before his time good looking and well-bred yearlings could
have been bought for £250 or £300 each. A case in point
was D'Egville, one cf the finest horses and best bred year-
licgs in England, that was bought as a two-year-old for Loid
George for £500, since which time the price has been steadily
rising in every decade. Moreover, Lord George transformed
Goodwood from a plating meeting to one of the most aristo-
cratic aud fashionable of the year, and he ran mote horses
during the four days than perhaps were ever run by any 0De
person before or since. At his own expense he leveled and
widened the course and improved the training ground, and
all this after he left Danbury, at which place he had ex-
pended a small fortune not long before, and where, as he
said, he was "literally walking on gold." His betting, and in
fact everything that he did in connection with the turf, was
done in the same costly and extensive way. These few facts
will be sufficient to Bhow that Lord George Beniinck inaug-
urated a new era on the turf. That he did good in so exten-
sively patronizing the sport and in spending so much on its
surroundirgs no one will doubt.

When Lord George gave up racing and betook himeelf to
politics, Mr. Mostyn purchased his stud, in which under-
taking Lord Clifden afterward joined him, and these two
raced with success. These were the days of heavy betting,
Harry Hill and others making a ten-thousand-pound jear-
liog book on the Derby, so that one could in these days
have won a very large stake on tins race alone. About the
year 1852 stud companies began to be formed for breeding
race horses on a large scale, and individuals weie actively
employed in doing the same thing. Rawcliffe at York and
Middle Park at Eltham were among the most prominent.
But betore thete institutions were formed there were in ex-
istence many other establishments for the purpose, the
Queen's at Hampton Court, Mr. Jacque's, Es&tby Abbey,
Theobold Park, Will* sden, and many others. But at that
time few were a success, or thought to be so. The Middle
Park Stud to the owner was a veritable gold mine, and cer-
tainly it was a great sucres°, fitancially speaking, if in no
other way; but the RawcIiflFe was a disastrous undertaking
for the shareholders, and it nltimately came to grief just as
Cobham and other stud companies did afterward. There
were too many paid officials engaged in it; from this cause
aud the want of proper supervision tbe speculation wasj a
loss to tbe company, and after some years the establishment
was broken up. — John Day, in the Fortnightly Review.

Last Saturday, G.Valensin. of the Valensin Stock Farm, re.
purchased from Mr. Morgan Hill, of Madrone Station, Santa
Clara County, a chestnut filly 3 years old, by Sid
Grey Dale. This is a full sister to Longworth
ValenBin has of late bought quite a number i I
Sidney, which be had sold in the pait, the Sidney
up even better than the owner anticipated.

The attendance at the great breeders meeting held at Lex-
ington, Ky , was noticeable from the slim attendance of local
people. Evidently the folks of the Blue Grass region are
becoming satiated with trotting meetings.

The Kentucky Stook Farm fias been in great luck in secur-

One of the most unique cemeteries in the United StateB is
that of SheepBhead Bay, Long Island, the burial ground for
noted horBes. It was established two years ago, and by the
end of the first year three noted racerB had found a resting

beautifully decorated with flowers and shrubbery, and suit-
able headstones mark the last resting places of the kings
and queens of tbe turf.

An Omnibus Company in London has found that 3000
horses fed on 16 lbs. of ground oats, 1\ lbs of cut hay, and
10* lbs. of cut straw, did as much work and kept in as good
condition as another 3000 fed on 19 lbs. of whole oals and 13
lbs. of nncat hay. Thus a saving of six lbs. of feed per day
for the work horses was made by grinding the grain and cut-
ting the hay — a saving iu the feedirg of 6000 horses amount-
ing to $300 per day.

According to paddock gossip the Dwyers will have the ser-

suggested thatCullen, Andy McCarthy and Littlefield have
signed contracts with the Dwyers though snch rumors may
be daily expected.

The Western Association of Bookmakers has purchased

ing: "We shall begin raoing next season as soon as Wash-
ington Park closes its gates, and shall continue as long as the
attendance is a paying one."

Frank MoTris, of Worthington, Wood County, West Va„
is the owner of a horse whose shoes literal'y dropped from the
heaven. Some years ago a meteoric stone fell on the banks
of Jenny's Civek, in Wayne County, and was divided np
among the people in the neighborhood. The aerolite con-
tained a larg ■ percentage of iron, and some of the fragments
were procured by Morris, who had a blacksmith work them
up into a set of shoes for his horse. The iron is very hard,
and the shoes have outlasted two or three sets of ordinary
shoes.

A new number of Goodwin's Offioial Turf Guide, contain-

ning jockeys Bhowa Barnes to lt-ad wnh 153 viotories in 581

and Hamilton a close third with 105 winning mounts out of
a total of 394. The rest of the lot are beaten off, Anderson
being the leader of the field with 83 winning mounts in 380
races.

White Hat Dan McCarty's racing slaMe was sold at auction
laHt Saturday at Linden Park race-course for good prices.
Five head were sold for $10,850. The highest price was
brought by Sorrento, who went to G. Walbanm for $6,750.
The same buyer also purchased the Blazes -Geneva H. oolt
for $2,000. The latter, a yearling, has shown very fast work
this fall. The Joe Dm^l-Test filly, a yearling, brought
$1,050, Pasadena $8(10, Wagram $200. My sympathies are
entirely with the parly who purchased Wagram.

Colonel William Edwards ib credited with the following re-

Tommy Morton, who has had held premier jookey position
for the Palo Alto Stock Farm quite a long time, has seceeded
from tbe protecting care of Heniy Walsh, and will be, at
the coming meeting of the Blood Horse Association, a free

and should have lots of mounts.

A report is current that W. C. Corbett has been offered
$20,000 for the services of Gay Wilkes, 2:15}, for the year
1890, and tbat the offer was male by J. E. Green, Louisville,
Ky. It may be true, but it Beems scarcely probable.— (Sports-
man.)

I saw the dispatch tendering the above sum for the services
of the horse, and was present when a well known Eastern
horseman said tbat he would give $25,000. Mr. Corhett very
wisely thinks that as he sold two fillies by Guy WilkeB this
year for $30,000 and be has another two year old that be
can sell at any moment for $20,000 that he would simply be
throwing money away to accept such offers.

The Hungarian Government has 1,648 sires and meres at
the MezohegeB Stud, 539 at Babolne, 421 at Tagarys, and
509 at Kisber, where the best stock is brei. Among the sires
now at Kisber are DoncaBter, Craig Millar, Sweetbread, Ru-
p^rra, Gunnersbury and Vernenil. In the Royal Prussian
btuds are 2 294 stallions, of whioh 1,695 have been purchased
at home and abroad, and 599 were bred in the royal stods.
Amongst the thoroughbred stallions need last season were 72
of English breeding, two Anglo-Arabian, and one pnre Aia-
bian. Amongst the heavy stallions were 118 home-bred
IkjTsps, 72 Belgians, 21 Clydesdales, 15 Percberons, nine
Ardennes, and four from Denmark. The average number of
mares was 52 for each stallion, and in East Prussia there were
43 foals per stallion, and 84 per cent, of the mares gave birth
to foals.

' Did you ever see horses that wore bustles, just like a
woman?" asked Dr. Heniy Wilson, who is just back from
Kentucky. "John Hughes Bhowed a pair of horses in a
buggy that he had been offered $3,500 for, and asked $5,000.
They took the blue ribbon, and knew every gait that a
horse ever made. These horses wore bustles all the time
except on the road. When put in their stalls a wire bustle,
juBt such as a lady wears, only smaller, was put under the
till and held there by a strap. This made the horse throw
the tail from the body and give it style in action. Many
horses in Kentucky wear bustles, It is a regular trade about
Lexington to buy a likely hand ome horse from the country
for $300 or $400 and educate him to all the gaits, and give
him style, speed him up a little, and sell him for a thousand
or so." — Atlanta Constitution.

Now, who is Tippie? Her performances thiB season do not
look like those of a green mare. It is said she is by Echo,
and was bied by J. B. Haggin at his Rancho del Paso iu Cal-
ifornia, but this needs substantiation. She does not act green,
but like an old stager, and it would be in order for the
National Trotting Association, if it really cares to stop ringer?,
to have a full acoount of this mare. Perhaps she is "straight
goods," and if so an investigation will do her no harm, while
if she is not it will do the tort good.— [ Wallace's Monthly.

Tippie is a mare that was taken East by John Mackej*
Superintendent of Rancho del Paso, for young Mr. Dwyer,
who wanted a good road horse. Dwyer did not purohase her
so she was sold to F. A. Lovecraft, Clerk of the course at
Sheepsbead Bay. Tippie is by Echo 462; 1st dam the Hath-
away mare, by Whipple's Hambletonian 725; 2nd dam
Denmark mare, by Williamson's Belmont.

Robert Bonner, tbe well known horseman, is reported to
have asked "Pilot Jr. " who has written many papers on
"colts that trained on" to write something about colts that
have not trained on, and he instances the ca^e of Sable
Wilkes who as a three year old obtained a record of 2:18, bnt
says Mr. Bonner "in his four year old form he was not able
to beat it, while this year he has apparently done nothing."
There are some things in this world that Mr. Bonner does
not know, and the doings of Sable Wilkes seems to be one
of them. As a four year old there was nothing to force him
to his best, and yet it is a well known fact that he has been
sent faster than his record shows. This year, Mr. Corbitt
offered to trot Sable Wilkes against Favooia 2:15 and Stani-
boul 2:14;{ but the owner of tbe latter objected to an open
race and consequently Sable was thrown out of training and
relegated to the stud, having no chance to race this year.
By tbe way Pilot Jr., did you ever he?r of anything training
on after Bonner got hold of it? Suppose you commence at
his stook farm.

In reference to the above we have received the following: —

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I see in a late issue of
the New York Sportsman an interview with Mr. Robert Bon-
ner, in which that gentleman cites Sable Wilkes, 2:18, as an
instance of colts that have not trained on. The following are
the facts: Sable Wilkes was placed in my hands in the fall of
1886, and was then two years old. I worked bim not to ex-
ceed two months, and drove him a mile in 2:28. He was
then taken to the farm, and returned to me in May, 1887.
During that season (87) he won all his 6Uke engagements,
obtaining a record of 2:18. In the spring of 1888 he wbb
plaoed in the slnd. After a long season, with a short prepar-
ation, showed a mile iu his work in 2:17, last half 1:00.1. A
few days 1 iter h« started against Brown's four year old rec-
ord, 2:1S:[. and althoogh the day and traca were not favora-
ble for fast time, trotted a mile in 2:18.

This Spring he was nominated in free for all at Breeders'
Meeting but the race did not fill; his owner then decided to keep
bim iu the stud and not to have him worked. Should Sable
Wilkes remain as sound iu 1890 as he is at present (provid-
ing his owner oan spare him from the stud), I will convince
the most skeptical that he is one of the colts that trained
on. By kindly giving this note spaoe in your valuable paper,
you will greatly oblige, Yours truly,

John A, Goldsmith.

Rinemaster in England.

One of the sensations of the English raoing season has been
furnished by the appearance of the Australian-bred race horse
Ringmaster and the unexpected high form he has shown. It
is the first venture of taking a race horse from Australia to
England, and although it has not been attended by quite as
Bnccessfnl results as attended theefforts of the American-bred
horses Parole, Iroquois, Foshall, Wallenstein, Don Fulano,
etc., it has been of a character to encourage the Australians
to further efforts, especially as Ringmaster did not rank as a
top&awyer at home, says the N. Y. Spirit. Yet he has won
the Billesdon Handicap, 114 Dound*; Pontefract Spring Han-
dicap, 100 pounds; Great Northern Handicap. 103nounds,
etc, and was second to King Moninonth in the Great Eber
Handicap.

A letter from his trainer, Mr. J E. Savill, in England, to
the Adelaide Observer, gives some very interesting informa-
tion relative to Ringmaster's trip to England and his racing
there. The little horse had a hard passage over. There
■were do oflts nor carrots on board. Bran, chaff, some bad
hay brought him through, assisted by apples and oranges
from the passengers, and he became very fond of oranges.
When he landed he was a wreck. During the rough weather
his box wbb smashed in, and had it not been for the chief
officer, who slowed and had the ship's carpenter repair the
damage, he would have fared badly. To make matters worse,
"his Blings gave way, and the poor little chap was knocked
about his box like a shuttlecock." For three weeks he stood
with the sweat pouring off his hocks, until at last he tumbled
down and rested well until the end of bisvovage. The floor-
ing of his box gave way and he hurt his off fetlock, enlarg-
ing it. When he landed he was put to walking end trotting,
the climate suited him, he never had cough or cold, and
began to put on tiesb. But "he dii not know what to make
of the snow, and it was some time before he could be induced
to leave his box and go into it, and when he did be pranced
about like a circus horse, lifting each foot as if it was on hot
bricks; afterwards he liked it " But the cold air of winter
made him bo fresh that he did not know what to do with him-
self. "One day ia his c pers he lunged and came down, and
of course managed to find the only bit of glass for miles cut-
ting his knee to the bone." By the time they got the inflam-
mation reduced he kicked himself head over heels again,
landing on his fore-head, aod sending the boy yards away,
opening the old wound of his knee, and it was a long time
before he could go to work.

Even then there was great difficulty in training him, as
they had nothing to work him with.1 It was decided to start
him for the Trial Stakes at Lincoln. Before doiDg so his
trainer went tu one of the late stewards of the Jockey Club
and to Messrs. Weatherby, and asked them to explain the
rule qualifying foreign-bred horses, and wanted to know
what was meant by the term "habitually trained." The
answer was that if the horse was trained in England Bix
months that would mean habitually trained. In the pad-
dock before the race he was sneered at as "an Arab, " and
his mane and tail, which were left long in Australia, fnrn-
nished ridicule. Some wit remarked that "there were enough
gallaways in England without sending to AnBtralia for
them." The newspapers also riaicnled him when he lost.
Eleven days later, when he won the Billesden Plate at Leices-
ter, with 114 lbs, the newspapers did not know what to say.
Ringmaster's trainer is a very cWer correspondent. There
is a deal of quaint humor in his letters. He says: "A short
time after this race I met an Australian who possessed some
knowledge of racing, and he told me that it was a street-or-
ner tip that I had never-intended to win at Leicester, but
that the boy couldn't hold the horse back. The next pro-
ceeding, as you know, was to enter the *habitually trained
protest,' which was afterward carried on to the stewards of
the Jockey Club, but the protestors never_had a leg to stand
on."

The Australian trainer came in for as much ridicule for
trying his horse with a stop watch as ever the Americans,
Littlefield, Btown and Pincus, had. Yet he was not to be
laughed down. He remarks: — "I timed the little horse over
the course the night before the race, and after the first three
races bad been ran on the following day, I saw that I had a
bit of a look in— bis trial, single-handed, was 1:28, and he
won the race in 1:25, all out— shocking time, but the going
wbb bad. He started at 100 to 8 and 10, not 20 to 1, as the
newspapers said; but when I backed him heavily at starting
prioe at Pontefract, they leturned him at 2 to 1, when 5 to 2
was in offer all over the rins. Fonr days after Leicester he
ran in the Visitors' Plate at Newmarket, five furlongs, 8.1 up,
won by NeedleB, 5:13. Ringmaster ran fourth through the
boy riding him out when the otters were pulling np. Two
days after, at the same meeting, he ran in the Flying Handi-
cap, over exactly the same course, only in better company.

The weights were agisted after the Visitors, Plate, and to
my utter astonishment he was raised 10 ttn. The race was
won by the Duchess of Montrose's "Whistle Jacket, five years,
7 st. 3 ft>j. He cost 3 600 guineas. I consider this handicap
tantamount to saying tht.t in the opinion of the handicaprei-B
the horse did not'ron on his merits in the Visitors' Plate;
and the first time I met Joe Thompson my conjectuies were
verified, as he said to me, *Whnt were you doing in the Visit-
ors'PI te, when he came with such a rush at the finish?'
The 'rush,' which he b* d only heard about, not seen, was
that the otherB were all pulling up, as they do here when
thsy see the race was won, whilst my boy rode out to the bit-
ter end. the reason for which I did not find out until the
other day, when it transpired that he had put £6 on his
mount on his own account without cmBnlting me.'

The Australian trainer now "gets home" with the follow-
ing clever thrust: "The morals of the English turf are fo lax
(vide Chetwynd and Durham) that they cannot understand a
horse being honestly ridden out when he has no chaDce of
winning. The Australian next ran in the Easter Handicap at
Fonr O^ks Park, one mile, 8-*t 51b np, shoes off, won by The
Vicar, 7st 51b, in a canter; time, 1:47 on a bad coarse. The
little fellow was left at the post and ran nowhere. He then
ran in the Pontefract Handicap, one mile aod a half, 7st 21b
up, and got home after a desperate finish with Partition,
about as bad a horse as there is in training. The papers
again said he won easily. The blood was dripping from his
aides as he turned to weigh in, and we had to foment them
with hot water for several dayB after the race. Unfortunately,
the lad had on a new nair of spurs wbi h I had forgotten to
have blunted. The little fellow pulled up short of work and
too big, and, as in twelve days be had to run at Yo.k, I
put the screw on and wound him in Aus ra ian fushinn. 'Ihe
result was that, although he was driven along for a mile and
and a half, Bnperior condition told its tale at the finish, and
be cantered in. Fred "Webb Baid after the race that he was
the best stayer be had ever seen. He should take a trip to
Australia and enlaige his ideas."

From his letter the Australian does not seem impressed
with the boasted "English fair pl»y," as they certainly tried
to byatRingojaster by technicalities, as follows; "The aest

performance was the entering of the most disgraceful protest
on record — disgraceful in this way, that the protestors knew
nothing. Thpy merely entered the protest "that Turner was
not a bona fide apprentice" on the off chance of some fl-iw
turning up in his indentures. Such a protest has never been
entered since the apprenticeship allowance commenced. And
yet, as this was entertained by the stewards, anyone running
second to a horBe ridden by an apprentice is at liberty to
enter a Bimilar protest. I pointed out to the stewards that
Mr. Fenwick, who entered the protest, should specify why
my lad was not a bona fide apprentice, and that at any rate
the onus of proving him not a bona fide apprent ce should
reBt with him, not with me. It was decided that I mast prove
that he was a bona fide appreutice. I have since been told by
trainers that thiB is not the usual custom— the custom being
that if a protest is entered before a race, the person protested
against must prove his case, but if the protest is entered after
the race, then the person protesting must prove his ca«e.
Luckily, I had a tip at Newmarket that if the horse had won
there a protest would have been entered on the Fame grounds.
So I brought the matter before the stewards of the Jockey
Club after they had decided the 'habitually trained' business,
and they se'tled that I had a perfect right to have an appren-
tice and toilaim the allowance, and notified their decision
to Mr. Weatherby, who was present. This 1 told to Mr.
Noal Fenwick, but he refused to withdraw his protest."

The protest being disposed of, the Australian next got at
odds with the haodicappers. Mr. Savill continues as follows:
"The Australian pony was anchored with 8 Btones 11 pounds.
Originally he was third top weight, having to give weight to
thirtv-three horses, all because he beat Tissaphernes, receiv-
ing 21 pounds from that not very brilliant horse. I took
1,200 tn 200 about Ringmaster from Joe Thompson, who
took it from Fry — not that I thought he could carry his
absurd burden to the front; but here, if you don't back a
horse, they swear he's not trying. The little fellow ran a
good last, and Flower o' the May ran fourth, level with Tis-
saphernes, proving that, as I conjectured, she could get one
and three quarter miles, as the Ascot Stakes was two miles.
If Ringmaster had been treated as she was, he might have
had a show. The handicap for the Royal Hunt Cup was
worse. Fancy the little horse on his Engl sh performances
being made to give weight to forty-seven horBes and 5 pounds
to Veracity, five yearB, the winner of the Cambridgeshire and
Lincoln Handicap. Only five horses were handicapped above
the Australian. A more inexplicable handicap was never
plaoed before the public, especially as Major Egerton, the
handicapper, bad my horse's Australian performances, which
are decidedly bad. Major Egerton has Bince handicapped
him in the Beaufort Handicop, ono mile and a quarter, at
Stockbridge, top weight but one in a field of twenty-eight,
the top weight being Cotillon, 9 stones 9 pounds; Ringmaster
9 Btones one pound, the same as Exmoor, who has woe eleven
races and nearly £7,000 in stakes, including the Kempton
Park Stakes Ust season, in whioh he carried 9 stonea 3
pounds. The handicappiog makes analyzation easy, as Ex-
moor was in the Great Northern Handicap at York, framed
by Major Eserton, at 8 stones 12 poinds; Ringmaster seven
stoneB, a difference of 26 pounds. Exmoor did not run, but
the two horses met in the Ascot Stakes, in which Exmoor
started first favorite with 8 stones 9 poundB np, Ringmaster
8 stones J 1 pounds, under which impost he rBn a bad last."

In short, the Australian has not a very rose-tinted impres-
sion of English fair play and turf morala. He adds: "Major
Egerton has also thought fit to put him top weight in the
Bradgate Park Plate, at Leicester, asking him to give 9 lbs.
to Whitelees, a most pcwerful four-year-old, who ran away
with the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot, making an exhibition of
his field, althoueh two cloys after he failed to make a show
when starting first favorite over six forlongB of the same
course with only 7 Bt. 5 lbs. on Mb back, a performance which
was parsed over without remark. If little Ringmaster had
performed in the same way I think they would have found
something to say in the matter, but here sauce for t e goose
is not always sauce for the gander. The papers were dead
against Ringmaster again after Ascot, some of them insinu-
ating that he wasn't spinning, others that he wasn't genu-
inely backed. By the by, Ringmaster ran in plates at York,
although all the papers said he didn't. One of the nice
sportsmanlike remarks they made after York was 'that they
only seemed to try and stop the Australian horse with pro-
tests, and that he always ran at the same weight;' rather a
startling assertion in the face of facts — but tnat's nothing
when a foreigner haB to be beaten. The idea seems to be,
if you can't do it one way do it another."

A Singular Case-

During the recent fair at the fair grounds near this oity
there were many strange combinations for the purpose of
fleecing the uninitiated, says the State Democrat of Salem,
Oregon. There were many in attendance whose sole aim and
practice it is to make money without taking any chances, or,
in other words, rob the gullible public by betting on a "sure

thing."

Present at the fair were the owners of the racers Jubilee
and Coloma, Chris Peterson aod Mr. "Wbittnore. The two
above named horses, with others, were entered in the mile
and a quarter single dash. Just prior to the starting one
Chas. Beard, a "Rure thing" man, approached Mr. Peterson,
theownerof Jubilee.and stated that the owner of Coloma was
afraid of Peterson's horse. Mr. Petereon said: "I'll see you
again," and stepped one side to see his rider. He then came
back to Beard, as he says, and handed him $100, saying:
"Play thiB on Coloma for me."

The race was run, Jubilee winning, whereupon the Beard
combination of "sure thing" men came hastily to Peterson
and wanted him to go to the judge's stand and dDclare that
Jubilee had no right to enter the race, which would give the
race to Coloma, and allow the "sure thing" combination —
Babb, Beard, and others — to win. This Peterson refused to
do, when the combine said that if he did not do so they
would make him pay a share of their losings on the race.
Although Peterson was himself u cool hundred loser on the
iace — for which $100 he never even so much as received th«
pool ticke b, although he repeat dly asked or then — tl e
combination attached the horse Jubilee, claiming that Peter-
son had borrowei money of them to play on the race.
Peterson gave bonds and took his horse to California.

Upon the convening of the court here last week Peterson
put in an appearance and one witness was sent him from
Portland. When the ca~e was oalled the jobbers were not
ready and had the c*se postponed for a day or two. During
the interim Peterson's witoe-»s was spirited away, aod when
the case came on for trial it left only Peterson to testify io
his own behalf, against the swearing of Beard and two or
three tools, and Peterson was mulcted in the Bum of $340,
with no accounting made of the $100 be bad given them to
play lor him,

It is a well known fact that a horde of these "sure thing"
horse race men are in attendance at every fair here, and not
only do they prey upon the public, but they also seek to
gobble up the owners of horses and the animals as well. They
follow the race circuit and are a menace to the well being of
any track, and it would be well for the Stale Board to debar
them from future operations here.

Tho attaching of Peterson's horse, it is said by manv, was
only a bold attempt to swindle him out of the borseby Babb,
Beard, and the rest of the unwholesome band of jobbors.
Unless some stepB are taken to protect decent people from
their raids it will be but a snore time before men with good
horses will refuse to pnt in an appearance at our State Fairs,
no matter how liberal the board may be in the matter of
purses.

On Their "Way to California.

McFerran & Clancy, S. H. Shancro3S and J. E. Green, of
Louisville, Ky., have shipped a car load of fourteen brood
mares to the San Mateo S'ock Farm to be bred to Gny
Wilkes 2:15£. We only have a description of four of them,
but will give the breeding of the others when they arrive.
McFerran and Claney have sent three as follows:

Amaryllis, brown hlly, tan nose and flank*, by Director
2:17 (sire of Direct, three-year-old record 2: 18 J, and Margaret
S., three year old record 2:19$, etc.); first dam Maud 8. T. by
Gov. Sprague, 2:20.$, (sire of Kate Sprague, 2:18, 8prague

this mare will represent three top lineB of developed sireB,
viz, Guy Wilkes, 2:15J; Director, 2:17, and Gov. Sprague,
2:21£, all brilliant campaigners, two of which swept the Grand
Circuit in their day; this on Belle Patchen, a very fast
daughter of Manibrino Patchen, and all on the foundation of
Sally Chorister, than whom there is no more successful mare
within the covers of the Stud Books. She was killed at 14
years of age, and every one of her foals that lived to maturity
was either speedy or produced speed, some of them by very
indifferent smjs. The great brood mares in this pedigree
will be Lady Bunker. The Rhodes Mare twice, Lady Dunn,
Clara, Dolly, Belle Brandon, Belle Patchen and Sally Choris-
ter.

May S, bay mare, by Baron Wilkes. 2:18; first dam Stin-
nette (dam of Bourbon Russell, 2:30), by Steinway (three-

Forrest Wilkes, 2:28f), by Berkeley's Edwin Forrest; third
dam Lady Turner (d«m of Alta, 2:32), by Mambriuo Chief;
fourth dam by Grey Eagle. The three top crosses of this
produce will be of developed sires, viz., Guy Wilkes, 2:15};
Baron Wilkes, 2:18; and Steinwav, three-year-old record
2:25J. The foundation being Old Ned, who has five repre-
sentatives from 2:15 J to 2:27f, and where every foal could
show speed. The great brood inures represented in this
pedigree will be Lady Bunker, the Rhodes mare twice, Lady
Dunn. Belle Patchen, Sally Chorister, Abbess and Old Ned.

Alicia Nutwood, bay mare by Nutwood 2:18$; first dam
Alicia, breeders record 2:29; a half in 1:11 (the only full sister
to Alcantara and Alcyone), by George Wilkes 2:22; second
dam Alma Mater (dam of Alcantara 2:23, aire of ten in 2:30
list); Alcyone 2:27 (sire of eight in 2:30, including Alcyon
2:16£ and Iona 2:17*); Almater 2:29^; Alline, trial 2:26i; Ar-
biter, record 2:30; Almeta 2:313), by Mambrino Patchen;
third dam E=*rella by Imp. Australian; fourth dam Fanny G.
(grandam of Dame Wionie, dam of Palo Alto 2:I3|, etc ), by

queen of Mambrino Patchen mares. The gjeat brood mares
repres'nted will be Lady Bunker, Lady Donn, Belle, MisB
Russell. The Rhodes mare (dam of Lady Thorn) twice, and
Alma Mater.

Mr. S. H. Shallcross, also of Louisville who is juBt com-
mencing to breed a little, has sent the black mare Ha-Ha, by
Nutwood; first dam Eudora (recently sold at the Withers
sale for $2 500), by Cnyler; second dam Irma G., by Wood-
ford Mambrino; third dam Malmasion (dam of Nannette,
Malice, etc.), by Alexander's Abdallab; fourth dam Old
Black Ro3e (dam of Darkness 2:27, etc.), by Tom Teemer.
This produce will represent two developed top crosses in
Guy Wilkes, 2:15£, and Nutwood, 2:I8£, and is a great pedi-
gree.

Editors on a Hunt.

On Thursday morning last £. B. Willis, editor of toe Re-
oord-Dnion, and Nick White, city editor of the paper named
went through town on the train, on their way to Lafrobe to
indulge in a quail hunt says the Folsom Telegraph. They
had guns, dogs and snake antidote. They must have been
misinformed of the number of poisonons reptiles in those
parts, if we should judge by the amount of antidote tbey had
in tbe baggige oar, and they evidently imagined that a visit
to the vicinity of Latrobe would develope an enormous ap-
petite, or else" they expected to meet a delegation of friends,
as they had enough cold 'uncb to supply a small boarding
house.

[Thats twice that our friend Nick White has been bunting.
Enviable mao to be able to go whcn he pleases. The other

Bob White's Et Al.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I was very glad to note
in the issue of your paper, of Oct. 19th , that the California
State SportBinan's Association had decided to plant Beveral
kind of true game birds in your State. The "bob white"
goeaks for himself: the wild turkey is a beiutiful bird and 1
never saw one so old but what the flesh was teuier and
juicy. I have killed them in Georgia. Florida, Kansas and
Indian Territory, and in some instances I have seen them
lie well to the dog. Id your report of the meeting you say
they have also choBen the grouse, but you do not say what
kind. If the blue gronse so common in Oregon, they will
have a fine game bird, strong and swift on the wing, lie well
to the dog aod when young maks fioe table food, but with
age they are a little tough. The rutted grouse or what is
called in Oregon, the native pheasant, and partridge in the
East is also a truegame bird. Although they are the same bird
I rind they do not lie well to the dog in this part of the coun-
try. They are quite plentiful here and could easily be
trapped, and with some little trouble I thiDk the California
Association could secure what blue and rafted grouse they
want in this State. The prairie chicken, like the bob white,
will give the boys lots of fun and when flushed, if not killed
at once he will soon pnt himself out of reach of a close shoot-
ing gun.

The San Jose tournament must have been gala days and
the shooting all along the line was good. The Colton team
in winning second proves that Southern Califori ia has some
good shots. The scores of Mr. Chick Bhow him to rank
among the best and I doubt if there is a man in the State
that can bag as muny birds in a day's shoot in the field, as
he. My old friend Bruner, must have pushed hard on his
"butt plate" in capturiDg the diamond medal, but Bruner
was born a shooter you know.

I am expecting to leave Oregon for the Golden State about
November loth, and I shall try and spend the season near
Bakersoeld, working a few pupi and perhaps take a hand in
the coming field trials. C. A. Lodd.

On the Right Path.

• For years Mr. N. E. White, city editor of the Sacramento
Record-Union, has been numbered among the moBt active
supporters of the game and fish interests and from time to
time be has lifted up hiB voice in behalf of the enforcement
of the game laws, bnt never more incisively than on Tuesday
last, when he published the subjoined remarks upon a recent
arrest in Sacramento. He says:

The frequent references in^the Record-Union of late concern-
ing the steady killing of female deer for their skioB, and tbe
constant transportation of the latter to market in violation of
the law, bus begun to bear fruit in this part of the State.
Last week the Fish and Game Commission's chief detective,
Captain Dalton, called at this office and stated that he was
about inves'igating the matter of the alleged possession by a
local firm of a larRe consignment of deer skins which did not
show tbe sex of the animals from which they were taken.
Reference to the matter waB withheld nntil the officer could
get his evidence, which was procured yesterday in the shape
of a couple of hideB that bear no evidences of theses of their
former wearers.

Warrants were then issued from Justice Devine's office on
complaints drawn in the District Attorney's office and sworn
to by Matt Coffey, of the police force, tor service on John
Blair, manager for W. R. Knights & Co., proprietors of a hide
warehouse on Front and L Streets. The complaints were
drawn under different provisioDB of Section C20 of the Penal
Code, and charge the defendant wiih having in his DOBBession
the skins of does, and also with having skins from which
"evidence of sex had been removed."

There is little doubt but that year in and vear out. and at
any and all seasonB, illegal traffic in deer-hideB has been
earned on in this city, as well as in many other places
Within five dayB after the deer season has opeued, thousands
of BkioB reached Sacramento and Sau Francisco from Miohi-
gan Bluff aud other points along the Sierra Nevada, while
similar palpable violations have been going on in the Coast
Range districts. This could not have been done unless by
killing the deer in the close season, and also killing theiii
without regard to sex.

As a rule, the lawollictrs in the several counties have been
slow to prosecute, and the Courts to puDiah the violators ot
the law, but why snob Bhould be the case it ia difficult to
understand. The hide hnntera are few in number, ai iS de-
serve not tho slightest consideration at the hands of the
peoplo whom they are robbing day aud night of their valua-
ble property. Thoy are a cIbbh wbose friendship can benefit
no man and their hirelings of course do not deavrve notho
as they belong to the lowost order of creatures. One woy to
keep these vandals from plyinR their illegal and robbing
practices is to make It bo hot for men who buy the product
of -belr unlawful calling that there will be no market there-
to' . Every man who is able to rcid the papers knows he has
no right to have in hla possession, or deal in. tho skins taken
from female deer Bhot down in violation of the law, and if he

ntinues In such business ho must expect to be punished

Of course, it is toocarly'to paas judgment in the case above

.erred to, but it ia to bo hoped that, if tho evidence war-

. the officers will proseonte it with vigor, and thoy eav

I hey will do so. J J

August 2d at 5 a. m., the thermometer marked 54 degrees.
At 9 the cavalcade was in motion, traveling down the meadow
about a mile and theu making a short cut doe north over a
sharp, Bteep ridge, reached Youngs Meadows at half past
twelve. These are large, open, level as a floor, aud contain
about rive hundred acres. Here were met a party of sis
ladies and five gentlemen from Kernville, whereby with their
wonted sense of the fitness of things, the Pilgrims christened
the place Canrp Calico. Hitherto the trip had been unbe-
guiled by anything of tender nature, save backward thoughts
of home and far away dear ones: butlhe new aud unexpected
element with ro?y faces and winning smiles, gave an added
savor to the delights of the land. From an hitherto unsus-
pected quarter a mirror was produced, and the offside of cer-
tain big trees could tell a fine scandal anent hasty toilets,
were it not that Nature never reveals her own or others'
secrets. When they parted, however, it is said that photos
and invitations were liberally interchanged, aud for some
time no one spoke. 'Tib ever thus! life hues ran in all
directions and always straight, unless some point of contact
happens. But when some male line imoinges upon the line
feminine, there is always sure to be a kink and thereafter,
for some little time, both lines go wobblety wobble. The
male and female sorts of electricity tend toward the fusing
point and the temperature can be remarkably raised during a
very brief sitting.

Camp ready, adieuB over and convalescence assured, five of
the party went fiahiDg. One failed to reach lirst base; the
other four caught 200 during three hours sport, the Artist
leading with a string of 54. These averaged a little larger
than tbe general run of New England brook trout, rose eag-
erly to the flv aud were as gamey as heart could desire. It
could be wished that these fish were no larger than whitebait,
for by actual count, revised with great judgment and then
reduced by judicious compromise, the Cnaplain ate 40 for his
supper. Great men are liable to err and the Chaplain is a
rather large man of himself. His lache was another's oppor-
tunity, for shortly after this great effort, he complained of
not feeling very well. With the air of a man cut out for
great emergencies, the Sub- Deacon produced his magic phial.
Ah! it has wonderful contents. I s tiny pelletB cure every-
thing, from teething to old age. Underneath the same stop-
per rest alike a cure for earache and a relief for overfeed;
healing for a sprain and enmity (o biliousness; balsam for a
sore toe and nervine for— for— well, too much water. At this
wonderful phial the knights gazed with admiration and awe
and its possessor seemed almost supernal. With one mighty
bound he seized the sufferer, wrenched open his cavernous
jaws, poured down a mess sufficient for a forty-trouter or
an army mule, turned majestically on a heel and sanntered
leisurely away, uttering the Delphic saying, "he will be all
right in the morning." He was, bnt be found it a long time
till morning. Upon this the KnigbtB met in conclave deter-
mined to honor the magician, and dubbsd him (Doctor upon
the spo'. Same might not call this an honor, but the phial
still survives to prove proweBs and tackle malady.

This little stream heads in the meadow, and only a few
years ago contained not even a solitary trout. H. A. Jastro
and Young, from whom the meadows derive a name, brought
the fish over from Trout Creek. Taming the waters of that
stream, they seined the pooh, and then making a march of
over teu mileB on foot, carried little trout in tin cans and set
them afloat in Youngs meadows, where now they are abund-
ant. What possessed them to take so much trouble in those
early days and so far from the haunts of men, it is difficult to
explain; unless that, laboring under a nt of temporary in-
sanity— which for once accomplished no evil — they thought
to do some good in this world, unknown of man.

This place has an altitude of 7,650 feet, and, of course, as
tbe sun went down Cblled for a rousing camp tire, around
which, in all the attitudes of unrestraint, the party comforta-
bly lounged. In the wonderful figures of fire each saw his
vision, and all were well content to trace the golden fanta-
sies of tbe glowing coals, until the Counselor, whose feet had
been getting cold, upheaved the silence by warbling with an
uncertain quaver: —

"Calico, oh, Calico,

When you lead we folltr,

Where yon are we want to go;

If we can't, we holler."

Amid snorts, protests, and indignant denials the Counselor
was run out of camp, and the remainder of the party fled to
their blankets for refuge.

At 6 the next morning, 44 degrees was registered, and at
noon 70 degrees. This was a day of rest and sondries. The
Counselor was bartly forgiven, but at length, on account of
his estimable wife, the gang agreed to take him back and
never tell, which, of course, they never will. About 3 in the
afternoon the five again fished for a little while, catching a
couple of hundred more trout, most of which were given to
those whose business in the meadow and mountains allowed
no time for sport. It was noticed that this meadow, like all,
has been overfed. Nearly the crop of grasses is decreasing.
Now it is nothing like to what it wbb two years ago, and if
continually overstocked, ere very long, meadows will become
deserts to all intents and purposes.

It is trite to speak and rail about sheep, yet they are doing
incalculable damage. By the treading ot their countless feet,
every Bbrub and tender tree is destroyed. They graze clear
into the ground, and in eating pull very much of the forage
up by the roots. Their paths trending longitudinally witb
the hills, form water-courses for Winter storms, which aggre-
gate into torrents and cut deep gullies in every hillside.
And then the herders, both wilfully aud carelessly set fires
in every direotion. Wilfully, to burn off brush and jungle,
that next season's feed may be increased in area; carelessly
thoy build fires at tbe root of any tree — which in due time
destroys some monarch of the forest— and other tires in all
sorts of plaoes, to ward off wild animals. It is possible with
continued seasonB of sheepdriving, to destroy the forests of
the mighty Sierras. Aud by thus striking down that hand
of Nature which now protects tbe snows and nurtures moiBt
places, the smiling face of California valley lands will he
changed to tbe dreary frown of a desert country. This
should be prevented, but how this is to be done is beyond
Pilgrim ken. Certain it ia, that every Roadmaster Bhould
be made to levy a district t.ix oil each head of sheep that pas-
ses through hie dominion, for sheep spoil roads. And ever
ho good a tr»i1, if passed over by a large band of sheep is
pretty nearly blotted out; and if not totally destroyed, is as
worthless a ruin aa my lady's old glove, after her marriage
to Home other nice young man.

Rights of Sportsmen and Landowners.

At a meeting of the Michigan Sportsmen's Associa-
tion E. P. Toms, Esq., a well-known attorney of Detroit,
submitted the fo'lowiog opinion regarding the "Mutual
Eights of SportBmen and Landowners," which ia of consider-
able interest as between sportsmen and non-hunting land-
owners:

Trespass in the limited and confined sense in which we
consider its relation to sportsmen and inclosed premises is
well defined. The mere entry by a sportsman upon such
land, without permission of the owner (except in pursuit of
noxious animals) is a technical trespass no matter how incon-
siderable the damage may be. The owner of land has the
right to retain for himself the sole use aud occupation of his
property, aud any entry thereon, contrary to that right, and
especially if it be against express prohibition, iB ajtrespass for
which the trespasser is liable to respond in damages. The
common law recognizes two kinds of damages, actual and ex-
emplary. The trespassing sportsman is always liable for the
actual damages, resulting from his unlawful entry upon in-
closed and uninclosed land, and if the trespass is accompa-
nied by circumstances of aggravation (as for instance with
the uee of insulting language toward the owner, or if it be in
disregard ot a plain warning), then the law Bteps in and com-
pels tbe wrongdoer, in addition to the actual damages, to pay
for the same, which is imposed as a punishment for the will-
falness of the act. The amount imposed as a pendty is left
to the common sense of a jary (if they have any) who are to
take into consideration all the surrounding circumstances,
and to give their verdict in reference thereto.

Bnt while the law considers that a willful act of trespass
should be especially punished, on the other hand it doeB not
absolve the sportsman who inadvertently, in the zeal of pur-
suit, enters upon another's l^nd. The fact of the trespass
remains the same, and the landowner, therefore, is entitled
to recovnr his damages, but is confined to the actual loss he
has suffered.

At the common law it was not a misdemeanor to hunt
upon the Janda of another. Our statute, however, bas
ohanged the common law rules, and makes it unlawful to
hunt upon the inclosed lands of another without the permis-
sion of the owner, and any breach of this l»w iB punishable
by a tine, and unless tbe fine be paid the offender is liable to
imprisonment. Therefore, the sportsman who trespasses
noon inclosed landB is not only civilly responsible to the
owner for damages done, but is criminally liable to fine and
imprisonment.

The landowner has had no absolute property in the "game"
which is upon his land, and therefore if a sportsman, even
while trespassing succeeds in killing a wild animal he be-
comes its absolute owner, as being the first to reduce it to
possession, and the landowner caunot recover, as part of his
damages, the value of the game. The only property the Ut-
ter has in the game to be found on his land is the exclusive
right of hunting it, and this right, of course, ceases the mo-
ment the game passes bejond the limits of his land.

If a hunter starts and wounds game upon his own land,
and it passes mortally wounded to his neighbor's territory,
tbe former has no property in it, nor does he acquire any un-
til he has reduced it to possession. And if, before he suc-
ceeds in doing so, a pot-hunter cap'ures the game the latter
has an absolute right to it. I hope, however, that no sports-
man will ever be guilty of insisling upon this rule of law,
although it is in strict accordance with the well-settled Amer-
ican rule that whoever first reduces wild animals to posses-
sion and subjection becomes the absolute owner, no matter
on whose land they are captured or killed.

It is the rule of nature that everyone has an equal right to
pursue and kill wild animals, and that law still holds good in
our country, Bubject only to the restrictions that may be im-
posed by statr.e law for tbe due preservation of game. The
statute laws enacted for this purpose respect the rights of the
owners of the soil, and give no authoiity to enter land with-
out the owner's permission. They have been adopted, not
to please any one class of persons, but simply to prevent the
extirpation of game. And the severer the restrictions im-
posed by them, and the more strictly they are enforced, the
better it is for tne sportsman and the landowner.

It is somewhat interesting to trace the old English law in
regard to hunting, and to note the difference between that
aDd the law at present in vogue in this country. In ancient
limes the king reserved the forests for his own sport, and no
one was at liberty to hunt in them without the sovereign's
authority, on pain of a heavy pecuniary forfeiture, although
at the Bame time freeholders were free to pursue game upon
their own lands. No one but landowners could then become
sportsmen, »nd they only upon their own grounds.

A new doctrine, however, arose after the Norman conquest,
and the right to hunt such wild animals as were termed
"game" was then considered to belong only to the king, or
to such as were authorized under him. This was in harmouy
with the feudal principle that the kiog was the ultimate pro-
prietor of all the lands in the kingdom, and hence that the
exclusive right of pursuit of all game vested in him as such
owner. This royal right was exercised with extreme rigor,
and effeotually took away from landowners their aaoieut right
of pursuing game on their own lands. The most horrid
tyrannies and oppressions grew up through the so-called for-
est laws, under which the killing of game within the King's
forests became a capital offense. In this respect the English
laws did not differ much from tbe laws of France and Ger-
many, which at one time were quite as severe and brutal.

The very hardship of these laws was the cause of their ref-
ormation, for the people became so oppressed by them that
they united in forcing from the king partial relaxations of their
rigors, bo that gradually their objectionable features disap-
peared. Yet even as late as the preBen t century no person in
England had the right to kill game except he who had a de-
rivative right from the king. Finally, however a law was
passed by which any person was allowed to purchase a
license to kill game upon his own lands, or upon another's,
with the owner's permission; and thereafter no sportsman
needed qualifications of birth or estate, whiob had previously
been essential.

In our country we find no;traceof the old English doctrine,
and there hns never been a time here when all persons, pot-
hunters included, had not an equal right to pursue game,
subject to the restrictions already noticed.

The rights of the sportsman aud landowner to game are
equal, as neither is the owner. The laudowner, if a gentle-
man, will allow the sportsman to hunt at his own sweet will,
and will Dot order him off the premi-es in a rude and vulgar
manner. And on the other hand, if the sportsman be a gen-
tlemen (as every true sportsman is), he will respect the rights
of the landowner while hunting over his property, aad if
ordered off, will enter into no unseemly quarrel, but leave at
once, swearing, if necessary, with bated breath. I knnw how
it is mynelf-

If the landowner "posts" his land, forbidding shooting on the
same, the order should be respected by sportsmen;. and, lllib.

eral and mean as it may be thought on tbe part of the former,
it is better that no trespass be committed, especially as every
trespass is willful when the tresspasser has teen -warned to
not g) upon the laod. The instances are rare indeed when a
landowner will not permit shooting upon hia grounds, but if
he does refuse permission, let the sportsman cheerfully leave,
consoling himself with the reflection that game is not to be
found on so mean a man's land.

There is a growing desire on the part of sportsmen to lease
or purchase large, ti acts of land or marsh for the exclusive
hunting of themselves anl friends. The owners of these
tracts, if they wish to prohibit trespassing, ought, in justice
to otherp, to post notices forbidding hunting tbereon. The
public, and true sportsmen in pmicular, will observe and
abide by such notices. And in case of marshes owned or leased
for shooting purposes and incapable of being inolosed, if
properly posted, they should be treated by sportsmen as in-
cloted, and no trespass committed thereon.

Corvallis Notes-

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Z. Job, our sportsman
banker, in company with Lou Dyer, "Jumbo" and Robin-
son, made a five days' trip to Little Elk last week. They had
the use of Charley Heed's hounds, and succeeded in captur-
ing four tine deer, and report crippling several more. The
boys say the hounds were no good, and would not even trail
a wounded deer. It was very difficult to get a fair shot at a
deer, aa the vine maple and lerns were from sis to eight feet
high. Jumbo says the last deer had thirty Bhots fired at it
befoie it was cut down. Mr. Job has come to the conclusion
that to hunt deer with success it requires good dogB, and he
says if money can get them, Corvallis will soon show up a
p*ck of thoroughbred deer hounds. He has already com-
menced negotiations with several breeders in the East, and
proposes to have none but pedigree stock.

A few small baps of ducks have been captured in the past
ten days. The geese have all left on account of it being so
dry. Thar** are a few snipe, but the feeding grounds are still
quite dry. Grouse are birds of the past, and it is a rare thing
to see one in a day's hunt, and the farmers, one and all, say
it is the Mongolian pheasant that has driven them off. Re-
ports from every quarter say the Mongolian pheasant can be
seen in large flocks feeding on the new-sown wheat fields,
and many of them are killed by the farmers' boys and local
hunters.

I have had many letters of ioquiry asking if the Mongolian
pheasant could be bought lor breeding purposes, to which I
will say there are a few, perhaps ten or twenty pairs, that
have been raised by the domestic hen by parties living here,
and which are offered for sale at from $10 to $20 a pair; they
make very handsome pets.

My litter of Llewellin setter pnps by Romeo out of Rural
Nellie are doing well, and are a fine lot. My other dogs are
looking well, but spoiling like their owner for a good quail
hunt, which I hope to have by the middle of the coming
month. I have looked in vain in the oolnmns of your paper
to find a few words from some of the many sportsmen in
California on the game bird that Bhould be planted in your
State, but with all your pleading, they fail to
respond. Gentlemen sportsmen come to the front; you are
the ones that shonld have a voice in this matter, and yon
ought to help the FiBh Commissioners spend this $2 000
they have so kindly donated for this purpose. Let us have
the pleasure of heariug the moBt beautiful music on earth to
a true aportsman ringing out among the hills iu California,
"Bob White! Bob White!" C. A. Loud.

Corvallis, Or., October, 27, 1889.

The "big bag" of the season on ducks was made by Mr.
John K. Orr at the Ibis Club on the SuiBun last week. That
gentleman retrieved one hundred and ten ducks, usiDg one
hundred and forty cartridges. The gnu was a 10-bore L. C.
Smith, and the loads four and one-half drams, and one and
one-quarter ounces of fives. Messrs. Borel and Hockhoffler
were of the party, aud also killed fine strings. The birds
were mainly sprigs and widgeon, aud were in good condition.

Mr. E. T. Payne, President of the State Sportsman's Asso-
ciation, writes from L09 Angeles that seven inches of rain
have fallen in that county, insuring good duck shooting, and
also good cover for the quails nest season. Mr. Payne had
the misfortune to have a hundred tons of hay Bpoiled by the
rain, but he overlooks the loss in his gratification at tbe
insured prosperity of others.

S. N. Reed, C. C. White and Frank Valentine, of Bakers-
field, made a very successful shoot on quails last week.
They report the birds to be numbered by thousands about
Miller &. Lus's headquarters, as we1! as numerous elsewhere.

Messrs. Ed Bosqui aud Will Kittle killed five dozen quails
on the Lucas Ranch near San Rafael on October 27th. They
shot over Mr. Kittle's Luke by Carl R. — Bessie, and the birds
were retrieved by a cocker, the latter scheme proving most
satisfactory. The cocker is lively, and small enough to £et
about in thick cover handily.

The live bird shooting at the San Jose tournament was
very fine. For instance Mr. Henry A. Bassford only lost two
birds in the two day's shooting, the total number shot at
being forty- sis. He led off with forty straight, and almost
everyone was killed by the first barrel. Only one bird in
tbe lot was challenged, aud that one was retrieved. He n6ed
a 10-bore Parker gun and Selby Standard cartridges, with 4$
drams of Schultze powder, S's in the right barrel and 7's in
the left.

Mr. F. E. Coykendall came up from San Jose on Tuesday
last, looking bright as a new dollar. He has cleared away all the
little matters remaining after the tournament, and finds that
the escellent management of the affur left the local club but
little out of picket. Mr. Coykendall intends purchasing a
steam launch, with which he will visit all of the duck shoot-
ing grounds along the bay and rivers accessible by such
means. There are few shots who can equal him in the field,
and certainly none superior.

That quaintest of grain brokers and most delightful of
companions afield, Mr. Frank E. Lane of Stockton, was in
San Francisco on Thursday. He is practicing Beveral new
objurgations to be uaed durfng the winter when ducks do
not fly to hiB liking.

The Whatcom (Wash.) Bulletin says: "One year ago Will
D. JenkinB seoured from Orcas Island two dozen California
quails and set them at liberty on his ranch near Ten Mile.
Prior to that time there was not a quail in the Whatcom
county mainland. At the present time there are no less than
a dozen large covies of quail in tbe Ten Mile settlement.

Mr. Austin B. Sperry of Stockton, one of the most dis-
tinguished of California bred youDg business men visited
San Francisco on Tuesday last. Mr. Sperry has the happy
faculty of carrying immense projects easily and can always
spare an hour for a chat about shooting and fishing in both
of which arts he is adept.

J. M. Bassford, Jr., under date October 16th, writes that
he killed a large buck the week before. He adds: "His neok
was the biggest part of him, and when it got warm in the
frying-pan, you could smell venison all over the ranch. What
a shame it is to let people kill deer at this time of year. I
am goirjg to Capay Valley with tent, blankets, frying-pan, an
onion, eight dogs and four goo3 fellows, to run a series of
private field trials and have a good time for two weeks "

A most valuable contribution to the discussion about pre-
serves, etc., is that which appears in another column under
the title "Rights of Sportsmen and Landowners. " There
can be no doubt as to the soundness of the legal positions
advanced, and there is little room for objection to the con-
clusion reaohed which is that the rights and privileges of pre-
serve owners should be respected.

Sam Lewis, who is engineer on the Sonoma Valley Rail-
road, says that one day laBt week, while he was engaged in
hauling cars from the Sonoma landing his attention was at-
tracted by a great agitation of water in Petaluma creek, and
upon closer observation discovered that it was an immense
hump-backed whale, says the Petaluma Imprint. This levia-
than of the deep made more noise and splashing than the
steamer Gold. Lewis and his fireman made Bpecial note of
the size of the monster, and from their best judgment it
could not have been less than forty feet in length. At times
he would submerge and maneuvre, then come to the surface
and blow water to the height of thirty feet. It is supposed
by some that his whaleship got confused in the storm, lost
his hearings, and got on the wrong trail.

The Fish Commission.

The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Fish Com-
missioners, to be held on Nov. 5th at 2 o'clock in^the office
of Labor Commissioner Tobiu, 220 Sntter street, will be one
oE the most important sessions yet held, for several reasons.
Both Hon. Joseph Routier and Hon. J. Downey Harvey have
sut about pushing the work of the Commission so vigoronsly
that instead of sitting for a half hour perfunctorily, the gen-
tlemen find a session of four honrs hardly long enough in
which to receive tbe reports from the deputies allotted to
duty in various parts of the State. All the work of all pre-
ceding Boards during all the years that the Sta e has sus-
tained a Commission has not accomplished so much as the
Dresent Board has done in the year last passed. There has
been no spasmodic effort, but a steady push in the direction
of enforcing the game and fish laws.

The Commissioners rind hearty support at the hands of
sportsmen, and espress the utmost gratefulness for informa-
tion and assistance received from members of the State
Sporlsman's Association and of gun clubs in various sec-
tions. Since the October meeting very much effective work
has been done.

President Routier in person seized two large lots of deer
skins fiom which evidence of box had been removed, contrary
to the statute. After seizure the matter was placed in the
hands of Deputy Commissioner F. P. Callundan, to whose
determined tfforts bo much of the success of the Commission
is due.

Deputy Callundan reports upon the daerskin matter and
his other work of the month as follows:

San Franclsco. Nov. 1, 1889.

The Honorable Board of Fish Commissioners — Gentle-
men:— Since the last monthly meeting of the Board I have
been continuously employed in carrying out the directions
given me at that meeting, and am pleased to be able to report
a large measure of success in each matter which the Board
haB placed in my hands.

On the morning of October 3d, in company with President
Routier, two large bales of deer skins were found at Wash-
ington-street wharf. Inspection of the hidrs showed that evi-
dence of sex had been removed from many of the skins, and
others were beyond doubt the hines of Joes and fawns. The
bales were marked L. Lobree, Ukiah, Consignor, and were en
route to tbe Sawyer Tanning Company of Napa. The officers
of the San Francisco and North Railway were at once con-
sulted and further transportation of the bales of hides stopped
for the time. After consultation with the District Attorney
of San Francisco, it was deemed best to permit the delivery
of tbe skins to the Sawyer Company and apprehend the con-
signees. The skins were accordingly Bent to Napa, and the
same train carried myself and an expert tanner, Mr. Thos.
Tunstead. The skins were found in possession of tbe Tan-
ning Company and were seized. The president of the Com-
pany, Mr. S. E. Holden. and the District Attorney of Napa,
Mr. H. M. Barstow, requested me to suspend active prosecu-
tion until I had consulted the Board of Commissioners. I
did so, aud the correspondence incident to the matter is in the
hands of the Board,

Mr. Holden addressed tbe following letter to the Board in
my care:

Napa, Cal., Oct, 17, 1889.

To the Honorable Board of Fish Commissioners of the
State of California— Gentlemen: — From Mr. F. t*. Callun-
dan, Deputy Fish Commissioner, we learn that it is tbe de-
sire of your Commission to take measure? to enforce the law
prohibiting the illegal killing of deer, i. e., does and i'&wdb at

any time and bucks out of Beasou. As we are large dealers
in and consumers of the nkius in the manufacture of glove
leather, we are in a position to reach the country trade in the
skins. In handling these skins we desire to do it within the
limits of the law. We also decidedly prefer to receive only
summer killed buck skins, so our interests do not in the
least conflict with the policy of the State.

Some skins that were oonsigned to us have been seized by
your deputy. We suppose the design of the Commission is
to Btop the traffic in illegally killed skins, and in that way
stop the illegal killing. This, heyond a doubt, woold lend iu
that direction, but would not, in oor judgment, reach far
enough, as the value of a spotted fawn, say eight to ten cents,
is so small that it would neither enconrdge nor hinder their
slaughter to any estent. It would be different wirh a full
grown doe, of course. The skins seized by the Commission,
to be used as evidence we presume, were consigned to us by
general merchandise dealers and for them, as is our custom,
we were to make returns on arrival. We suppose it is the
desire of the State to take such measures as will best promote
the proper esecntion of the law, and not simply to take snap
judgment on a few skins that may be found in a dealer's
hands, and so we take tbe liberty lo suggest a method by
which all the hunters and dealers in the State may be aa-
vised of the design of the officers of the^law and be enlisted in
the work of enforcing it, rather than antagonized by unex-
pected confiscation of their property, which they suppose
they hold innocently.

Our suggestion is this, that the Commission publish a cir-
cular embodying the law as it now esists and a statement
that hereafter it is the intention of tbe Commission to see that
tbe law is fully and impartially enforced iu every particular;
that carriers must not transport, dealers handle, or manufac-
turers use any illegally killed skins, i. e., does and fawns at
any time and bucks ont of season.

Let these circulars be placed in the hands of the leading
skin dealers iu the State, say, W. B. Sumner & Co., 415
Front street, San Francisco, Bissinger & Co., N. E. corner
Sisth and Townsend streets, San Francisco, J. C. Rued &
Co., 119 Clay street, San Francisco. Platshek & Harris, 314
Battery street, San Francisco, E. Wasserman & Co., 310 San-
some street, San Francisco, Christian Hellwier, 131 Twenty-
Bisth street, San Francisco, and W. R. Knights & Co.,
Sacramento, and ask them to distribute to those sending
them skins.

Messrs. W. B. Sumner &Co. and tbe Sawyer Tanning Com-
pany send out price lists to a large portion of tbe general
merchandise stores, and could enclose the Commissioner's
circular with their owd, making such additional comment as
is necessary and proper.

We would willinely do bo, and doubt not Messrs. Sumner
& Co. would do tbe same. Let all the newspapers in the
State also receive copieB for pub'icition. We could all then
refuse to receive any illegally killed skins and stand on a
level with the trade. Anything beyond this would have to
be by a detection of the original violation of the law. Itis
frequently very difficult to ae'ermine when a skin is of such
a character as to lay the possessor liable to punishment under
the statute, aud so we are the more anxious that some action
should be taken to protect us in making a market for those
properly killed.

We believe that your management of this matter will be
such that all will be treated alike, aud that the sympithy and
assistance of the trade will be secured for the enforcement of
the law.

We have suggested the above with the supposition that
this movement is not the spasmodic impulse of any individu-
al or sportsmen's club, but that it is the embodiment of a de-
termination on the part of the Slate Fish Commission to en-
force the law.

We sincerely hope the Commission may see their way clear
lo adopt eonie such method as we have suggested, and it will
afford us pleasure to assist in any way we can in accomplish-
ing the end desired. Vary respectfully yours,

S. E. Holden,
President the Sawyer Tanning Co.

On the evening of October 3rd., I visited Ross Valley in
Marin County, having complaint that quail were being
trapped there. About Tamalpais I found some traps whioh
were destroyed and interviewed the owners of the land all of
whom gave pledges that no further trapping would be per-
mitted.

On Oct. 8th, received information that does were esposed
for sale in the Oaklaud markets but failed to find any.

On October 9th, as directed by the Board, I went to Ukiah,
where the Sheriff and District Attorney received me cordially
and espressed the fullest sjmpathy with the Commission.
Securing Borne assistants the Russian River was scoured for
twenty miles for Indian fish traps, of which more than fifty
were destroyed. The Indian trap is a deadly contrivance,
few fish succoeding iu passing them to the spawning grounds.
While going up the r ver, a baud of Indians was found just
completing four new traps. The law was espiained to them
and their wrong doings clearly shown. Tbe trap3 were de-
stroyed and a visit made to tbe Reservation wheie tbe chief
of the band was seen and warned not lo permit any further
use of fish traps, a warning which he promised faithfully to
keep in mind. At a punt twenty-two miles above Ukiah, the
Rives Lumber Company was found and the law relative to
saw dust Bhown to the proprietor, Mr. Van Dusen. Thtt
gentlemen at once agreed to impound and burn his sawdust.
It was ascertained that Mr. L. Lobree who consigned tbe doe
and fawn skinB to tbe Sawyer Tannery Company, was a mer-
chant in Round Valley whose principal trade was with the
Indians, aud measures were taken to warn Mr. Lobrea not to
handle skins of does or fawns, or those from which evidence
of sex had been removed.

Tbe visit to Ukiah, while it involved considerable outlay
in time, was, I think, well worth wbile. The Russian River
is a grand stream, and should be full of salmon and salmon
trout. On October 23d a raid was made upon the Chinese
fishermen catching small fish at South San Francisco. Two
junks and four Chinese were taken and jailed, but were soon
set at liberty on bail of S300 each. The oases are yet pend-
ing, but will be vigorously pushed, and as all necessary evi-
dence was secured, there is little doubt of conviction.

On Tnesday, October 29th, by direction of the Board, I
engased a steam craft and three assistants and patrolled San
Pablo Bay for Chinese junks. Two jonks were secured, with
small meshed nets, sturgeon lines, and a larg-= quantity of
very small fish. Ten Chinese were taken and jailed at Mar
tinez, where the officers of the law are particularly enereetie
in prosecuting such offendets ^The captur- s were made with-
out danger or jesistance of aoy kind. Four junk loads of
fishermen paddled »sbore and disappeared in the brushy
hills along the bay, be\ond reach at tbe time.

Information from other points is in hand which will 1

A Monument to "Prank Forester."
It is with extreme gratification that we learn a move
is on foot to build a monument to the never-to-be-for-
gotten William Henry Herbert (Frank Forester). He
was a man among men; there was nothing that appealed
to the sport-loving public bat what he was found to be
a master hand at. Be it shooting, fishing, horse racing,
or athletics, Frank was invariably called in to give by
his weight of experience a tone to the proceedings, and
he was equally at home in all out of door sportB. His
works are standard and to be found in every library of
the present day. In the days gone by his name was a
household word, a synonym for all that was manly and
upright; would that we had more Frank ForeBters in the
present day! Is a writer on sporting events, he was the
most brilliant and versatile of his day, there being none
that co jld cope with him in that particular line. A con-
tributor to a contemporary writes:

•'All lovers of nature and devotees of rod and gnn, the ad-
mirers of the fast horse and the well-trBined dog, now cher-
ish the memory of 'Oar Frank' as the most charming writer
of sporting literature, who depicted with masterly skill the
attractive Bceoes and pleasures of out-door life. His prolific
pen, aotive life and literary inr) uenoe, as the years pass away,
continue to strengthen a hold in the minds of readers, and
the sportsman's regard for him forever increases. As our
guide and teacher, he is ever with us in our pastimes by
wood and shore, in flowery dell and valley, in secluded re-
treBts, in upland pastures, in shady grove Bnd mountainous
forest, over prairie spaces, by brookside and ocean border.
He presents to us all that is most worthy of observation in
wood, air and water, and whenever we reour to his writings,
his noble, responsive spirit leads us forth into the healthful
wastes and wilds of nature, where we may admire the crea-
tions and forms of beauty and grace that his pen has so viv-
idly portrayed. He guideB our field sports, suggests our
pastimes, and ever charms us with picturesque descriptions
of those scenes, whether wild or gentle, lovely or sublime,
whither onr love of nature and field sports conduct us. So.
rememberiug all that we owe him, our gratitude for the pleas-
ure and instruction he has gwen us, let us with liberal hBnd
contribute somewhat to erect a monument to his memory."

If there be any of our readers who feel willing to con-
tribute toward perpetuating the memory of Frank For-
ester, let them send donations to this offioe and we will
gladly forward them to the gentlemen who have the
matter in charge.

Niagara.
For several months we have been corresponding with
different persons, endeavoring to find the pedigree of
Niagara, and at one time thought we were about to he
successful, but he will have to go down as one of the
great untraced, from the way things look at present.
We found that Niagara was brought to this State by
Thomas B. Hughes, and passed through several hands
until Mr. Ganibel secured possession of him. This gen-
tleman sent to Hamilton, Ohio, and got a pedigree for
the horse, but there were many who would not accept
it Mr. Hughes and Mr. Gambel both claimed that
Niagara and Washtenaw Chief were one and the same
horse. "Aurelius," a well known writer, has tried to
prove this point and failed in the attempt. "Chester"
shows us that Washtenaw Chief trotted in New York
State in 1865, and Niagara was then in California, so
that decides the question as to whether they were the
same horBe or not. Niagara was bought by Mr. Hughes
from W M. Nichol, formerly of Hamilton, Ooio, in
February, 1861, and was then brought to this State.
Discovering the name of the seller, we at onoe sent to
him and have received the following letter in reply:

Dantown, O., Oct. 18, '89.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman :-Xour letter dated Sept.
4th has just reaohed me, having remained at Hamilton for
sometime before it was forwatded to my present address. In
regard to the horse that you inqnire about, I am sfraU that
I cannot give you very maoh satisfaction. The history of
the horse as far as known is as follows: He was broui lit to
this county when about a year old, by a man named Rork
that belonged to the Butler County Stock Company Kork
has become dissatisfied with the doings of the Stock Co., and
said he would get a horBe of his own that would beat any they
had, BO he went to Kentucky anl bought this yearling colt at
either Cynthiana or Lexington, I am not certain which, lne
new comer proved to be a ridgling, and the other members
of the company guyed Bork sr, that he became disgusted and
sold the colt for a great deal leas than he paid for him. 1 he
colt then passed through the hands of iiresponsible parties
and was sold twice at Constable Bale for seventy-five dollars
He then fell into better hands, and having heard of him i
hunted up the person who owned him and bought the colt
for S400. I kept him for a year and then sold him to the
gentleman who took him to California. All that I could ever
learn positive about his pedigree was that his sire was Whip
and his dam by Woodford. But Rork had moved away to
Illinois and although I wrote to him several times, I fully
believe it was because he thought he had fooled his bargain
away, and he would not give anyone the information desired.
Have heard that Bork is dead but do not know whether it
iB true or not. When I sold the horse to Hughes I promisea
to get him a pedigree, never thiDking but what Bork would
send it to me, but when Hughes failed to get it, a brother of
Hughes partner sent them the pedigree of Washtenaw Chief,
a Canadian horse that was in this county, but he was m no
ways related to the horse that I sold. I am truly sorry that
I cannot send you the information that you want but have
done the best I can. If you know the present address of
Thomas E. Hugb.es, please send it to me as I have lost all
trace of him and oblige, Yours Respectfully,

W. M. Nichol.

That is how the pedigree of Niagara stands at present,
but we have forwarded a number of letters Bast, to try
and unravel the great untraced and it may just be possi-
ble that in time the mystery will be solved.

El Rio Rey.

The Climax Disc Harrow.

Thorough loosening and pulverizing of the soil is the se-
oret of protection from drouth and the best insurance of full,
saleable yieldB, whether of traits or grain. No device with
which we are acquainted so perfectly accomplishes these
ends as the Climax Pulverizing Diso Harrow, with seeder at-
tnohed, which is offered through the advertising oolumns by
Messrs. Baker St, Hamilton, the agentB, The implement is
sound, of light draught, and effective.

Immediately on hearing of the illness of Mr. Winters' colt,
we sent word to get a full and correct account of the sickness,
bat up to going to press we had not received any word, how-
ever the following exceedingly good article iB from the col-
umns of the Sportsman, and gives all the particulars in
detail:

The nature of the trouble that the coit suffered from wa8
influenza, with typhoid complications, or what is technically
termed typhoid. Influenza— this a form of disease due prin-
cipally to theometrioal changes, such as sudden changes of
from hot to cold, or rainy seasons. Climatio inflnenoea also
play a very important part. It is most frequent in the spring
or fall of the year, at the ohanges of the season, or during a
rainy spell, and is without doubt contagious. But in this
case we can find no trouble in existence among the horses
stabled at this track, there being no foundation for the report
that an epidemio of the trouble was in progress. There are,
as there always is at thiB seaBon of the year, a few isolated
caBes of this form of trouble, some at Jerome Park we have
heard, but the horses stabling at Morris track are remarkably
free from sickneBB.

The followiug detailed history of the colt's sickneBB we
Bubmit. as gleaned from Dr. shepperd and Mr. McCorroiek:
On Wednesday night, October 16th, the colt was noticed to
be slightly indisposed — somewhat listleass in his movements,
a little off his feed, extremities slightly cold, and increased
warmth of body, membranes of the nose increased io redness,
watery appearance of the eyes. A hot bran mash was given
him, which he partook of sparingly. Body was comfortably
clothed, extremities carefolly bandaged, and every care taken
of him for the night, thinking that he had taken a little cold,
and the trainer not wishing to assume too muoh risk, the
attending veterinarian, Dr. William Shepperd, was tele*
graphed for early Thursday morning. Dr. Shepperd saw the
eolt and found that he had a very Bick patient to deal with,
he having grown gradually worse during the night. The co't
stood in his box Btall presenting a most dejected appearance,
hie head drooping, eyes watery, membranes of the nose and
eyes intensely ingeoted (reddened), breathing labored, pnlse
60, Blight cough, temperature 105J (very high), legs and ears

very cold, and completely off his feed, the appearance of the
animal denoting a seriouB illness and calling for prompt at-
tention. Diagnosing the case to be that of influenza, with an
exceedingly high temperature, prompt measures were re-
Borted to, looking to the reduotion of the fever, and knowing
by experience that the disease was one of an exceedingly de-
bilitating nature, a supporting plan of treatment was adopted.
The throat trouble was relieved by liniment applied, body
was heavily clothed, legs rubbed and bandaged, and, after a
time, the circulation of blood waB restored to the extremities,
Bemedial agents, looking to the redaotion of the fever, were
administered, and the general support of the system, whioh
in a little time nature responded to, and the animal was left
in a fairly comfortable condition.

The next day, Friday, Oct. 17th, on visiting the animal a
marked improvement was noticed. The colt presented a
more cheerful appearance, pulse Btronger in character, and
lessened in frequency. Breathing more easily, temperatur
102 4-5, colt inclined to eat a little, standing more firmly
upon hiB legs. Full and free directions were left as to care,
and treatment was prescribed for the day.

On Saturday morning etrly Mr. McCormick,. finding the
colt's symptoms becoming alarming, telegraphed for the
doctor, and upon his arrival he found that his patient had
grown decidedly worse, and that he had a grave complication
in the shape of typhoid lesion to combate. On examination
he found that the pulse was now ninety beats per minute,
and hardly perceptible. Respiration increased, and labored
membranes of the eye and nostrils intensely ingeoted. An-
xious expression of the countenance, animal constantly
looking around to the flanks, occasionally pawing, showing
symptoms of abiominal pain, and temperature of 106 4-5, an
exceedingly high temperatur-}; skin dry and burning to
the touth. Recognizing the importance of prompt action,
means were adopted by the doctor to relieve the inordinate
tension upon the system by the reduction of the fever. Every
possible method was resorted to by medicinal agents, and as
well by external means to increase the action af the glands of
the skin, thereby relieving the fevered condition of the body,
and after a given time, nature, thus assisted, responded, an^
the animal waB relieved, I may say saved. The greater por
tion of the day Dr. Sheppherd remained in attendance, and
when he left in the evening the patient was much relieved.

On Sunday the appearance of the animal was somewhat
brighter; pulse stronger, respiralion still labored, both at
flanks and nostrils; temperatur 104 2 5, (still very high at
thia stage of the disease); abdominal pains frequent but last-
ing but a short time; disinclination to partake of any nour-
ishment, extremely feeble in his movements, shaking on hiB
legs, and a general weakness of the muscular system noticed.
General defasible stimalents, and means were resorted to to
sustain the strength of the animal.

This being the fifth day of the disease, and the animal Btill
in a critical condition, and knowing the extreme valne the
animal was held at by the owner, Dr. Sheppard suggested to
Mr. McCormick the advisability of a consultation with some
other veterinarian- This was readily approved of, and pone*
given Dr. Sheppard to call in whom he chose

Dr. R. A. Finley, our veterinary editor, was selected, and
on Monday morning, in company with Dr. Sheppard, visited
the colt. The previous history, as above related, having
been given, on careful examination we found the animal
standiug in a box, presenting a most dejected appearance;
membrance of the eye, and nose intensely iDgected, ears and
legs slightly cold, though still comfortable clothed and leps
carefully bandaged; pulse 54 respiration 30 and labored,
temperature 103 4-5. Examination of the chest walls reveal-
• 1 on the right side of the body an inoreased respiratory mti.
mur over that portion of the lungs; the left, a slight absence
of sound in the most dependant (lower) portion of the left
lung, indicating threatened lung complications. The colt
was now beginning to respond to treatment that has been
adopted from the start, which was to support the system,
and show a disposition to nibble a little food.

Occasional uneasiness on the part of the animal indicating
abdominal pain was reported and was noticed during examin-
ation. Pressure upon abdominal walls could not deteot any
tenderness. A bronchial breathing and mucuons rattle, that
had been noticed the previous day, could not now be de-
tected.

The result of the consultation was a full conourrenoe in
the diagnosis as previously made, namely, typhoid iDfluenza
with what seems now a further complication, a threatened
pneumonia, but whioh we hoped to be able to check. No
material change was advised in the way of treatment. The
animal was left for the day in the care of his very oapable
trainer and nurse; and on Wednesday, the 23d, we again
visited the animal, in company with Dr. Sheppard, and found
(contrary to the reports of the newspapers of the day previ-
ous, whioh had reported the colt dead), a most marked im-
provement in the general appearance and symptoms of the
animal. We found him with head up, eyes bright, extremi-
ties comfortable, pulse and heart aotionfairly strongand full,
breathiDg comparatively easy and movement indicating more
power, partaking fairly well of nourishing drinks -that had
been presented to him — in fact, convalescent from his previ-
ous trouble, and we then predicted that if no further
oomplioations would Bet in, the animal was in a fair way to
reoover, which will take about six weeks before the animal
would be tit to remove. This, we fear, would be too late in
the Beason, and too risky, we think, to attempt to oarry out
the previous intention of the stable to ship horses home, and
would necessitate wintering here.

LOS ANGELES RACES.

cONTIM ED,

TUESDAY.

There was an increase in the attendance upon the second

day of the Los Angeles races. The weather was fair and

the track some better than npon Monday. Three events

made np the day's card, the first being the

2:30 Class Pace.

The starters were George Vignola's s m SnnriBe, W. P.
Johnson's r g Phil Frieler and J. Willett's blk s Silkwood.
The purse was §500. Pools sold Silkwood $20, field $8.

First Heat — After two scores they got the bell to a good
start. Silkwood had the pole and went away strong, taking
the lead in the tnrn and patting four lengths of daylight be-
tween him and Thil Frieler in second place. Sunrise wbs not
in the heat at all, and jast managed to save her distance,
The positions of the leaders were never changed, Silkwood
coming home easy and finishing first in four lengths. Time,
2:28.

Second Heat — The second heat was a little more exciting.
Silkwood went away in the lead, but Phil Frieler caught
him at the quarter, and they paced head and head half way
up the backstretch, and then Phil Frieler got his head in
front. Silkwood stayed with him until they reached the
half, where he lost his feet, and when he got down again
Frieler was six lengths away from him. He was that dis-
tance to the good when the straight was reached, and it
looked like Fneler sure, when Silfewood came home with a
great burst of speed, crowded Frieler to a break at the dis-
tance post and beat him to the wire by a length in 2:26|.
Sunrise just got inside again.

Third Heat — The third heat and the race fell to Silk-
wood, He again got off in the lead. On the backstretch
Phil Frieler got up to his wheel, and then to his head, but
as they went around the second turn Silkwood drew away
and entered the straight an open length to the good. From
there home be had all his o«n way. Phil Frieler quit un-
der punishment and Silkwood finished easy three lengths
away from him, Sunrise a poor third. Time, 2.-2SA.

the field.

First Heal — The flag went down to a good start, Typesetter
leadiDg with Susie S. at his flank. The mare caught him in
the first hundred yards and they ran head and head in the
straight, Johnny F. three lengths back. Typesetter quit in
the straight and Susie S. was coming home easy when
Johnny F. came up to her with a rush and under the whip
finished at Susie's neck. Typesetter and Idle Man were both
distanced. Time, 0:4S£.

Second Heat — Susie S. was a neck in the lead at the send
off and made the lead a length on the turn. Johnny stayed
with her until half way down the straight when he quit and
Susie S. won in a canter in OASl .

the pool bos, selling for §25 to $23 for John Treat, $11 for
Tycoon and $4 for Four Acs. It was the horse race of the
day. Ed McGinnis was in front, with Tycoon and Treat at
his flanks as he flashed past the stand for the first time. He
lead them to the middle of the backstretch, and then Tycoon
collared him and they ran together to the middle of the sec-
ond turn Treat was two open lengths back when Narvaez
called unon him. He responded gallantly and when they
swung into the straight he was half a length in froDt of Ty-
coon, and Ed McGinnis was getting the lash at Tycoon's
rlaik. Four Aces had brought up the rear all the way and
was now at McGinnis heels. Tjcoon hung on to Treat, both
under the whip, until they were at the distance post, where
Hitchcock took hia horse back and Treat finished first two
lengths from Tycoon. Ed McGinnis got a poor third. Time

WEDNESDAY.

There was a heavy wind coming up from the sea at Santa
Monica when the bell tapped for the brst r*ce upon the third
day of the Los Angeles meeting. The track improved stead-
ilv under the strong sunshine, and upon this day there was,
barring the wind, good going. The attendance was large,
even for a Los Angeles meeting, and the cosmopolitan char-
acter of the crowd made one think of the gathering at a polit-
ical barbacue on a July day down in Dixie. It was not a
betting crowd, though, and from Bodman & Co.'s pool-stand
the auctioneers howled themselves hoarse, and found little
reward. The Paris mutnals caught the small crowd, as the
bets were placed at $2 instead of $5, and the youth of the
city and country plunged to their hearts' content.

Wednesday's opening event was a special for trotters and
pacers, in which there were four starters, C. A. Durfee's b h
Baymon, L. J. Rose's b f Mista, J. B. Kennedy's b g Victor
and W. W. Whitney's ch m Nellie Clay. In the pool-box
Mista bad first call at $30, Baymon going at S7 and the field
at $3. Only the first two were in it.

First Heat — After several scores they were sent off, with
Baymon in front and at a break. He took "a good lead

going around the first turn, Mista in second place and Victor
third, and Nellie Clay away back. Mista closed up to Bay-
mon on the backstretch, and trotted from there home at his
wheel, forging him to a break every hundred yards, acd fin-
ishing at hiB wheel. The judges rightfully gave the heat to
Mista, and put Kaymon back to second place. Victor got
third, and Nellie Clay fourth. Time, 2:31 £.

Second Heat — Mista went up as a property in ihe pool-
box, selling at $25 against $10 for the field. After a snort
delay, during which a shoe was being put upon Baymon,
they were given the word for the second heat. Mista showed
in front on the turn, with Raymon at her wheel and Victor
in third place. The filly was going fairly and squarely, but
the horse was making a skip every time the filly drew away
from him, and he gained at every step. On the second turn
the filly had an open length lead, but by running and trot-
ting alternately, Raymon crowded up to her head in the
straight and beat her under the wire again by half a length.
Again the heat was given to MiBta, Bajmon Becond, Victor
third Time. 2:32.

Third Heal — The third beat and the race were taken by
Mista. She went around the turn in the lead, but Baymon
caught and passed her at the quarter and lead her half way
up the backstretch when he made a losing break, and the
filly passed him. At the, half Mista broke for the first time
during the race, but she caught quickly, and was never
headed again. In the straight Ravmon gave her a sharp
brush, and came down to a sharp finish with her, but the
filly beat him out by ahead. Victor was again third and
Nellie Clay fourth. Time, 2:32; three good heats for the
filly, considering the track and the gale blowing.

The above event followed the special. P. C. Donalick's s
g Naicho B., 115, M. A. Forrester's ch f Lonrita, 115, W L.
Appleby's b h Wild Oats, IIS, and Harry Rose's b g Dan
Murphy, 118, were the starters. In the pool box Dan Mur-
phy sold favorite- at $30, Wild Oats going at $20, and the
field at $15. Quite an amount went into the box. The
jadges received intelligence that the race would Dot be run
on its merits, and that there was a job on hand. Judge La
Bue called the jocks to the stand and warned them that any
jobbery would result in the ruling of the guilty parties off
the track. They went to the post, and at the second at-
tempt were sent off with Murphy four leDgths in the le*d.
Naicho B was in second place, Wild Oats was a length be-
hind him and Lonrita three lengths to the bad. They never
caught Murphy, and he won by three lengths. Naicbo B ran
in second place to the straight, where Wild Oats parsed him,
and he finished third, Lcurita fourth. Time 1:17. Leo New-
ell waB up on Naicho B., and the judges took him down, de-
clared it no race, ordered it run over again with a new jock
upon Naicho B. There was a great howl from the talent,
who were in pretty deep.

West, Bald-win's little colored jockey, was given the mount
on Naicho B. Lonrita was not tit to go again, and she was
withdrawn. The three remaining horses faced the starter,
and were sent off head and head. They r«n nose to nose to
the middle of the second turn, and then Wild Oats dropped
back a Ier-gth.

They came into the straight this way. Narvaez on Dan
Murphy began to rustle him and got him in front a length
and to the distance post he looked like a winner, bit Naicho
B. had seme reserve speed in hand and when West called
upon him at the last moment he responded with a rush that
carried him under the wire a length winner. Dan Murphy
Becond a length ahead of Wild Oats. Time, 1:19.

Whatever doubt there was in the judges' minds as to the
jobbery in the first dash was set at rest by the result and
they promptly Ret Newell down for an indefinite time and
took Mr. Donalich's case under consideration .

The judge3 for the day *ere H. M. La Kae, J. C. New-
ton and A. L Workman.

The result of the race seemed to give general satisfaction,
though, of course, there was a protest from Newell and his
friends. Mr. La Bue said to your correspondent that he
never saw a plainer job and he thought he and hiB associ-
ates in the stand had done the right thing.

Under date of July 13'h, the geutlemaa mentioned above
psked us for the pedigree of Lady Bnrns. A note was ad-
dressed to Mr. Williams, and the following is his answer:

Editor Brefder. axd Sportsman: — Received a note from
you last eveoiDg, dated July 15th. in regard to the pedigree
of a mare called Lady Barns. Thinking possibly there had
baen a mistake in reference to the time you dated it, I will
answer to the beBt of my ability. Lady Burns is by Black
Boy, he byMcCracken's Black Hawk. Lady^Burns' dam was
a mare that John Olive worked in his stage; no pedigree
known. Hoping this will give you satisfaction and prove a
benefit to you, I am,

Yours truly, Pebcy Williams.

THE WORLD.

Los Arjgeles Gossip-

The attendance at the races, considering the many other
attractions which Los Angeles offers to visitors, has been
good all the week.

Atto Bex's shoes have been taken off, and he will do no
more this season,

Don Tomas, the black Del Sur gelding, who has not been
right this season, is getting on his feet again, and is a better
race horse to-day than at any time during the ytar. He is
the property of Hon. Henry T. Hazard, the popular Mayor
of Los Angeles, who purchased him for a roadster. He
thinks he has tbe best one in the State, and said to me
the other day that he had brushed him at a :12 gait.

Two games of polo by the Santa Monica Club have been
among the week's attractions, and the players gave some
pretty exhibitions of horsemanship, to say nothing of the
skill shown in the game.

Thegray gelding John Treat has been something of a sur-
prise to the talent. He ran. two good races in the early pait
of the week, piloted in both by Joe Naivaezj and he "defeat-

by setting nets completely across branches of the San Joa-
quin and Sacramento Rivers.

Everywhere that I have been sent Tip to this time, I have
received the kindtst treatment from officials, sportsmen and
all others with whom I Lave bad business*, and many flatter-
ilia words about the Board of Fish Commissioners have been
spoken. Respectfully, etc.,

F. P. Callundan.
Deputy Fish Commissioner.

Chief of Patrol Dalton last week seized a lot of deer skins
in Sacramento from which evidence nf sex had been removed.

Contrary to expectation, last Sunday turned out to be a
clear, dry day, and aDglers who were fortunate enough to
risk the chance of getting drenched, returned home perfect-
ly dry and with fairly good Cdtches of rock cod.

An unusual number of large green cod were caught during
the last week or so.

Reports from the interior say that trout are very plentiful
in the creeks, several large catches having been made since
the rains set in. At Scott's Creek, Pescadaro and La Honda
large quantities of tine trout have been captured since the
creeks have become swol'en.

At the Lime Point and Tibnron fishing grounds, providing
the weather remains dry, good fishing should be had until
about the last week of November.

The Goat Island fishing grounds will probably be well
patronized next season, as a good many large catches were
made there during the past conple of months.

Quite a number of salmon trout were caught by anglers
who were fishing off the different wharves on Sunday. In
fishing for salmon trout in the bay an ordinary trout hook
should tensed. A small ground worm should completely
covtr the hook, and on the point a small piece of smelt
should be placed.

The fishermen in the neighborhood of Point Tibnron were
startled on Sunday last by the appearance of two monBter
whales, who disported themselves at different places close
to the 6hore all day long.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by ArphippuH.

SUMMARY.

The runners and walkers have once more resumed out-door
practice, the weather having cleared up.

The wheelmen are still hardening their legs for the Napa
race-meet.

The amateur boxers are punching the bag preparatory to
entering the coming championship tournament.

The oarsmen are trying to arrange a few races for Novem-
ber 28th.

RCNJTERS -WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

We have been asked to suggest that a running hop step
and jump be added to future athletic programmes. One of
the best men in the world at this game, John Puree]], is at
present in this city, and the 0 A. C. sbould afford him an
opportunity to give an exhibition in public.

The U AC football team are getting into good trim. They
are ready to meet all comers.

There will be a meeting of the California Amateur Athletic
Club to-morrow evening.

To-morrow evening an athletic- exhibition and grand ball
will be held at the San Francisco Turnerhall, 323 Turk St ,
for the benefit of Prof. L. Gericbten.

The running high jump and the oovice race will probably
attract the largest number of entries Nov. 28th.

Any member of the U. A. C. who breaks a college record
at the coming games will receive a special medal- Only mem-
bers of the University Athletic Club will be allowed to com-
pete.

M. Espanosa, the long distance amateur runner of the
Olympic Club, will enter the coming boxing tournament in
the bantam class. His many friends are sanguine of his abili-
ty to capture first prize.

It is high time that tbe Paci6c Coast Amateur record for
two miles running was improved. There are at least three
athletes residing in Sm Francisco to-day who can easily
lower the existing record. The Olympic Club Bhould offer
eome inducement to its long-distance runners to make the
effort, for, in our estimation, three members of the club are
capable of performing the feat.

R. McAnhur and Frank L. Cool°y, the well-known ama-
teur runners, undertook a cross country walk on Sunday
Their journey began at the O. C. rooms, continuing

last.

to the Ocean Beach and home by way of Fort Point, the
distance covered being about twenty miles. At the conclu-
sion of the walk both athletes enjoyed a swim in the cold
Bay at North Beach. McArthur will enter the boxing tour-
nament, and, jodging from the diligent way in which he is
training, he should come out as he did before, a winner.

AT THE OARS.

HO. Panel!, Secretary of the Pacific Rowing AsFodation,
has just returned from a two weeks' trip into the interior.

The amateurs are trying to make arrangements for the
holding of a couple of match races on Thanksgiving Day.

The water was in exoellent condition for practice work on
Sunday last and several crews were ont.

The Lurline Club will take an active part in rowing matters
next season, and will place several good crews in tbe field.

A professional regatta will be held at Ricuardeon's Bay
SauBahto, on Thanksgiving Day. The programme will be as
follow*: 1 Single scull race. 2. Four-oared shell race.
3. Whitehall boat race. The sum of $250 has been sub-
scribed by the residents of Sauealito through Mr. A S
Thompson. The races will begin at noon. The local crack
crew consisting of Messrs. Long. Peterson Bros, and F
Conway, all of the Dolphin Clnb, will enter the Foil r-oared
Shell race, and in all probabilities this crew will have an
*aay victory. The $250 will be divided among the different
winners.

TUE WHEELMEN.

Several members of the University Bicycle Club will enter
the Napa tonrnameot.

To-morrow tbe members of tbe Oakland Bicrcle Club will
taka a run to Alvarado and return. The starting point will
be from Chabot Park, corner of Tenth and Jefferson streets

Oakland, tbe honr 8:30 a. m. The pace will be very moder-
ate, and a large attendance is earnestly desired. All wheel-
men are cordially invited to take part in the run.

A seventy-two-honr bicycle match ended at Toronto, Can-
ada, on Monday. Tbe final score stood: Rhodes, 919 miles;
Desmond, 902 mile*: Dingley, 893 miles. Rhodes beat the
record, which was 904 miles.

W. J- Morgan and his wife "Jessie Oaks" have decided to
remain in San Franoisoo. The chances are that when thev
accumulate euough funds to take them elsewhere they will
"git." Mr. Morgan and his pretty wife will have to try their
hands at some other business besides bicycling before they
can make a stake.

CbargeB which will probab'y lead to their expulsion trom
tbe Bay City Wheelmen and from the L. A. W. have been
brought against tbe two members who took part in the ama-
teur {?) race at the Mechanioa' Pavilion on Sa'urday evening
last. TbeB. C. W. and the San Francisco Bicycle Club
thoroughly endorse the action uf T. H. Doaoe, Chairman
Racing Board of California, in his action, and also commend
him in his prompt action in reporting Spiers and Hood to the
LeBgue.

S. F. Morse of the S. F. B. C. promises to be a formidable
antagonist next year.

IN THE SURF.

The attendance at the surf baths during the week was very
small.

The cold weather evidently does not scare the members o'
the Terrace Swimming Club as the boys were out in ful1
force on Sunday last. Captain Jack Vollmer will try and in-
dace his men to keep up practice during the winter months.

The Pa'ace and Crystal baths were crjwded day and even-
ing during the past week.

JOTTINGS FROM THE EAST.

Great interest is felt in athletic circles in the result of the
heavy weight match between M. W.Ford, the amateur cham-
pion in general athletics, and his closest opponent at the
recent competition, A. A. Jordan. The match includes the
hammer, shot and fifty-six pound weight, and will ba decided
at the games of the Outing Club on November 5th.

A. DnCrois was the winner of the annual twenty-five mile
race for the championship of Ireland, which took place at
Ball's Bridge, Dublin, October 5th. He finished seventy-five
yardB ahead of J. P. Butler in Ih 27m 22s.

At the games held at Elkton, Md., October 10-11, in con-
nection with tbe annual fair of the Cecil County Agricultural
Society, the following new records were made by hammer
throwers : 16-lb hammer, including 4ft handle, from 7ft circle,
without follow — 133ft Sin , J. S. Mitchell. Same, with one
hand — 121ft lljiu., W. L Condon. 8-lb hammer head. 4ft
handle, one hand, without run or follow — I51ft 2Ain. W. L.
Condon. 8 lb hammer head, 4ft handle, one nana, from 7ft
circle, with follow— 180ft 7in, W. L. Condon.

Bert Meyers, of Peoria. Ill , is stated to have ridden a high
geared safety oicycle one mile, on a smooth piece of road at
that place, one mile in 2m 13s October 14th.

Lieat-Col. H. Dowd has been elected President of the
Twelfth Regiment Athletic Association of New York State for
the ensuing year.

The accidents to Joseph Donohue, champion skater, T. P.
Conneff, champion distance runner, and A. F. Copeland,
champion spnuter, all of the Manhattan Athle'ic Clnb, New
York City, seems to indica'e that the "cherry diamond"
champions are having hard luck of late.

It is hardly possible that any of the Eastern amateur crack
athletes will visit the Pacitic Slope in the near future. There
is no fresh glory to be gained in defeating the California
champions, and it is safe to assert that not one of the Eastern
champions will risk the loss of his time for the sake of what
honor he can gain by crossing the continent.

The New York athletes will have no time to reBt on their
oara during the coming winter, as several important meetings
are announced to take place before Spring sets in.

Frank P. Murray, the retired ex-champion amateur walker,
may don his shoes again next year, and then Lange, Nickoll,
Sherman and Burkhardt will need to keep in good condi-
tion.

The Allerton Athletic Club were favored with splendid
fall weather for their games, held at the grounds of the
Manhattan Club on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 19th, and
they were witnessed by a goodly crowd of athletes and
their patrons, including more than a sprinkling of the fair
sex. Jack Goulding had gotten the cinder path in capital
condition for the special feature of the meeting, a four mile
run, an invitation event, for which the principal amateur
long distance runners of the E*Bt were entered, and which,
as expected, proved a very interesting affair, although hardly
as exciting as had been anticipated. It was won by the Eng-
lish importation, A. B. George, who could have won easier
than he did, and could have also broken Carter's record for
the distance had he choBen to hurry himself more than he
did.

CLUE JOTTINGS.

Only three professional athletic clubs now exist since tbe
enforcement of the $3,000 license law. These clubs are, The
California, The Golden Gste and The Occidental. The in-
ferior clubs which were unab'e to pay the high lio^nse have all
gone out of existeuc?, and the secoud and third-class pogs
will be compelled to seek legitima'e work as a means of live-
lihood hereafter. It is indeed pleasing to have to record the
down fa1 1 of sloggerism and to think that scienoe will once
more hold sway.

The regnlar monthly exhibition of tbe Pacific Athletic
Club took place on Thursday evening last. A detailed ac-
count will be given in our n-xt issue.

The coming amiteur boxing tournament of the Olympx
Athletic Club is crtating great excitement in athletic circles.
All the leading boxers are eettiog themselvae into condition,
and there is not the slightest doubt but that the different
bouts will be hotly contested. It has been erroneously stated
that the Lurline Athletic Club would be represented at the
tournament by two of its members. Oolv members of clubs
belonging to the P. C A. A. A. will be a'lowed to attach tbe
name of tbeir clnb to their names, and as the Lurline Club is
not a member cf the P. C. A. A. A , its members can enter the
tournament only as "unattached amateurs."

The O'ympic athletic g*mes may not come off at the Bay
District track after all. The Athletic Committee is in a di-
lemma It is possible that horBe race* may be held at the
Bay District Track on Thanksgiving Day. and the only other
available track would 1 e the Universiiy of California track, at
Berkeley. It is to be hoped that tne bay District Track can
be secured as the O. A. C. would be obliged to donate the
prizes out of its treasury were the races to be beld at Berke-
ley, where it would be impossible 1o charge a gate fee. The
new grounds of the club will not be completed for several
weeks yet and it will be impossible to hold the inaugural
games before Washington's birthday.

Professor W. Smythe opened a School of Physical Cult-
ure at 2426 California street, between Fillmore andSteiner
streets, San Francisco, on Thursday last. A thorough stu-
dent himself, as well as a most successful teacher, there can
be no dGubt about the success of Professor Smythe in the
new and much needed school. He has sp9nt the lest twenty
years teaching in gymnasia and military hChoolB and colleges
the science of physical cultivation, aud, as is well known,
has taught here, ;in Mills Seminary and the Olympic Club,
and elsewhere. It would appear that this field would be
ample for him in which to utilize his talent and knowledge,
but such is not the case. In the gymnasia the material, as
has been before remarked, is not that which most needs de-
velopment or cultivation, and that which does is not within
his complete control. Men who have special developments
are much inclined to exercise them and leave their weaker
parts go. They go there for enjoyment and recreation, and
will, as a class, not be subject to the dry details which mnst
be the foundation for the best results. In colleges and semi-
naries the time and facilities will not admit of the employ-
ment of the systematic training necessary. He, therefore,
has been forced to the conclusion that the only way to reach
those who most need this kind of education is to establish a
school for instruction in this line alone. In doing this he
conceived it necessary to associate himself with a physician,
whose part it would be to make examinations of applicants
to ascertain their freedom from organic disease, and to be a
judge of the condition of their internal organs, so that no one
be trained who ought not to be, and that their exercise be
regulated to suit their degree of endurance. This physician,
he deemed necessary, should have an equal degree of interest
in the cause, and te somewhat familiar with calisthenic exer-
cises himself, and also be an expert in dieleticB, systems
of bathing, etc , which form bo esfentiel an adjunct to the
properly lvgulated school of this character. This individual
he thinks to have found in the psTsoo of Dr. Cornwall.

There will be an an accurate record kept of the degree of
improvement of each pupil as regards development of parts,
of posture and capability of endurance, and also the standard
of nealth, and a report sent, if deBired, to parentB of those
interested.

The terms will be $25 per quarter, there being two lessons
per week.

There will be a cIsbs for boys and adults males, one for
girls, and one for adult females.

The hours for training for boya and girls may be arranged
after school hours in tbe afternoon. It has not been defer-
mined the best hour for ladies, but gentlemen will beBt be
suited in the eveuing. There will be a lady present to advise
and assist female pupils.

The location of the hall is 2426 California St. It is large
and finely ventilated.

Private instructions will be given to those desiring it.

Particular information may be bad by calling on Prof.
Smythe, at the hall, Tuesday nnd Friday morning- a^ 11
o clock, or Dr. F. Cornwall, 112 Grant avenue, from 10 to 4
daily.

Strains That Bread On.

At this season of the year the stallion owners can very
nearly sum up what success their representatives have had
on the trotting turf, and what they will have during the
balance of the year. There never can be again any success-
ful competition for first honors as regards the blood of Ham-
bletonian in Bires. The only question now before the public
is what blood appears most often and breeds on the most suc-
cessful in the dams of trotters. Since the remarkable per-
formances of Axtell, 2:12, Lillian Wilkes, 2:17£, Sable Wilkes,
2:18, and Margaret S. as three-year-olds, it muBt be conceded
that the Star blood in the dams of their sires has had no con-
trolling influence over their stamina, gait and speed, as it has
scarcely ever been crossed with Hambletonian blood unsuc-
cessfully.

It once was a common remark with some who didn't have
any of it in their stock, that it crossed well only with Ham-
bletonian, but since a Star mare produced Guy, from Ken-
tucky Prince, a horse without a drop of it, they are sileDt.

It is quite amusing to us, who are old Orange County horse-
men, from which county sprang all the Hambletonians,
Stars and Clays, who knew the history of nearly every one of
either breeds that ever left the county, the breeding of their
dams, their gait and peculiarities, etc., it is amusing to read
the lengthy articles that Boma of the most famous writers on
horse history, breeds, etc., get off. They undertake to com-
pare the Pilot Jrs. and Mambrino Chiefs, etc., with the ClayB,
Hambletonians, aDd bo on, when in every line one can see
that they possess an educated and trained mind that enables
them to wield a fluent pen, but their arguments are all
superficial. They are conclusions from what certain per-
formers have accomplished.

They concloded that if a stallion out of a Clay mare has
more in the 2.30 list than one out of a Star mare, the former
is the greater horse, and the Clay blood is more prepotent
than the Star. Anrelius is one great exception to the school
of writers of the present day to which I refer. His arguments
are logical, deduced from facts and an intimate acquaintance
with circumstanoes and opportunities that others never pos-
sessed. There have appeared many articles of tbis character
in a certain Kentucky weekly, that, as a pastime to the nov-
ice in the breeding business, might prove interesting reading,
but, were he to act on their conclusions, wonld prove delus-
ive, as they are largely written from an interested stand-
point.

The large class of the bloods opposed to the Star and Clay
were bred in the purple. The Mambrino PatchenB, the Mam-
brino Chiefs and the Pilot Jr. mares were mostly from dams
that were well bred; but what of the Stars? Scarcely one
of them from a mare of any known breeding, but, on the
other hand, they were very common kind of faini mares.
The dam of Widow Machree, the dam of the great Aberdeen,
waB a very ordinary mare, whose pedigree was never folly
established, and where was ever a geeater sire, or one whose
colts promise more? So with Clara, tbe dam of Dexter, Dic-
tator, etc. No; beginners, be wary of the articles that appear
so regularly from the pens that are worn out in the service.
The only way you c*n arrive at anything !ise a fair under-
standing of the breeding question is to study well the gait,
location, opportunities, disposition, peculiarities, formation,
breeding and stamina of the various bloods, and then study
results.

There is nothing more misleading to a student than the
standard and the 2:30 list. We have in our mind a Hamble-
tonian Star stallion that has a numerous progeny in the 2:30
list, that has a tremendous number that have trotted very
close to it, and not a single one of the former from a standard
mare. In fact, he never covered but few standard mares, the
majority of their breeding unknown, but his dam was from
Buch a good mare that, crossed with Seelys Amerioan Star,
and she with the great Hambletonian, nearly every one of
his progeny are turning out trotters. — Hunter, in Turf, Field
and Farm. _

Turf Reform.

Our older breeders and turfmen have been proud of the
reputation and prowess of the American thoroughbred, and
the success of Parole, Preaknets, Foxhall and Iroquois in
Europe a few years ago sent a thrill of pleasure to the hearts
of breeders. Many of them feel that the countenance and
encouragement now given to short dash, races, less than a
mile, will produce a decline in the thoroughbred horse, and
this decline has been, and ever will be, in exact ratio to the
general spread and increase of this class of racing.

The glorious old days of the turf have departed, when our
horses were noted both for speed and bottom. The turf of
to-day furnishes but few horse3 of the charactor of those
some twenty or thirty years ago who can compass a distance
of ground. Even if they can be found the programmes of
our meetings give them no chance to display their prowess.
The present system if continued a few years more, must of
necessity produce a degeneracy, especially for bottom and
endurance. It has heretofore been onr boast that by racing
alone we were able to test the breeding, speed, endurance
and stoutness of our horses. Do the present programmes
for racing furnish any test of stoutness and endurance? No,
not a pirticle. It is merely old-fashioned quarter and thous-
and yard racine, slightly elongated. Take up a racing pro-
gramme, North, South, East or West, and outside of a few
stakes, one cannot find a weigbt-for-age race, and scarcely
one over a mile. Three-fourths or seven-eighths of the
purses run are handicaps, selling, or pen il ties and allowances,
short sourrys less than a mile.

It was the boast of our older breeders that the thorough-
bred horse improved any breed he was crossed upon, giving
them more endurance and Btoutness. This cannot be claimed
much longer under our present system of racing, which of-
fers a premiam upon the sprinter to the exclusion of endur-
ance and bottom. The earlier breeders' constant aim was to
breed upward and select stallions and niareB noted for bot-
tom and endurance, combined with speed, but the present
system is just the opposite, and we are breeding the race
downward instead of upward. The trotting breeders are por-
, suing just the opposite course, for they are breeding upward
instead of downward.

They require yearlings to trot a mile; two-year-olds mile
bests, and three-year-olds and upward mile heats three best
in five, and when they breed they reject the speedy horse
who cannot repeat and live out a race, and breed to those
with great speed and indomitable game; just the opposite
course the thoroughbred breeders aie pursuing.

If like begets like, and you wish .too. breed horses who
have both speed and endurance you must-breed from those

who have shown themselves superior for that particular pur-
pose. In planting any kind of grain we reject inferior qual-
ities, and select the best if we expsct a good return. If this
rule is applicable in grain raising, it need hardly be observed
how powerfully this principle applies to breeding the best
kind of stock.

In looking over the history of the American thoroughbred,
it would be hard to find a horse who could not go four-mile
heats himself who ever sired a four-mile horse; why? Be-
cause bottom and endurance is a quality so difficult to be
transmitted that it requires the very strongest deve'opment
of it in the parent to render a horse capable of conveying it
to his progeny. All, or nearly all of our breed of horses
have sufficient speed, but the difficulty lies in their incapaci-
ty to keep up this rate of speed for any length of time.
The present system of racing offere a premium on the sprin-
ter, to the almost total ignoring of the stout bottomed and
enduring race horse. Thip is radically wrong and is working
incalcurable injury to our breed of race horses. If we wish
to breed the highest type of race horses, the clubs mast cat
off these innumerable short races of fonr, five and six fur-
longs and lengthen the distances, and our breeders must
breed to horses who have not only speed but endurance,
horses that have proved their worth by their deeds. — Live

The Denver Doer Show.

Mr. Claude King, one of the leading promoters of the Con-
tinental Kennel Club of Denver, Colo., writes that the show
to be given by the club, beginning on November 20th, prom-
ises to be very successful. The St. Bernard Irish water
spaniel, mastiff, great Dane, greyhound and collie classes will
be fine, also Irish and English setters. The latest addition
to the list of special prizes is a purse of §250 for the b-at
kennel owned outside of Colorado; five dogs of the same
breed, neither more nor less to constitute a kennel. Tbe
dogs will be jodged by points, the kennel scoring highest in
the aggregate to win. Denver is not so far away but that
Californian owners of cracks could send entries, and we hope
some of the leading kennels will be represented.

The Brotherhood members of tbe Washington and India-
napoHs Clubs will be transferred to Brooklyn and Buffalo.
The eight clubs will be run on the co-operation plan with two
representatives of each club acting as a Board of D:rectors.
The scheme has '"failure" stamped on the face of it, yet
many of the pHyers are anxious to try it. President John
B Day of the New York Club, has been offdred the presiden-
cy of the new concern, but he wisely refused to consider the
offer, prefering to remain with the leagne. which he has
helped to build up. If the pUo is ever acted upon, every play-
er who goes into it will most heartily regret it before the nest
July and will be glal to return to the old clubs at greatly
reduced salaries; but for awhile it is apt to cause consider-
able annoyance to the owners of the League clubs, and will
also greatly effect the minor leagues. For instance, the
work of every man in the California League is carefully
watched all over the EaBt, and every manager there krows
jast what each man is cauable of doing just as well as we do
here. Suppose Ward, Keefe, Ewing, Connor, Richardson
and two or three others of tbe New York Club should decide
to cast their lot with the new concern, as they undoubtedly
would, Day and Mutrie would of necessity have to fill the
vacancies by drawing from the smaller leagues. They would
quickly rob us of "poet and general" O'Neill to stop up the
hole caused by the desertion of Johnny Ward, while the Cal-
ifornia patrons of the game wonld have to be content with
some amateur to play short field for the Oaklands. So it
would be all through; our best players wonld be taken E*st,
while we would have to be content with amateurs. This
would be a fatal blow to the game on this coast. It is to be
sincerely hoped for the good of players and patrons that bet-
ter counsel will prevail and a compromise of some kind be
effected.

Phil Knell has not done anything of a startling nature since
his return to California. He never could control the ball
when facing good butters and it is doubtful if he ever can.

In the Western Leagae when the players were all light
weight batters, he could send his swift and drop ball over the
plate without much daoger of being hit hard, but when he
comes to face such men as Hardie, Dooley, Shea, Ebright and
Cabill he weakens aud InseB heart with the result that he
fails to get the ball anywhere near the plate. Knell may be
all right in the Western League, but he will lose three games
out of five in California.

Comiskey and the St. Louis Browns will winter in Cali-
fornia if arrangements can i e made with Jim Hart
permitting them to play on the Haight Street grounds.
Hart holds a contract with President Mone whereby
no Eastern club but the Bostons can play on tho=e
grounds withoni his con=ent. It is to be hoped he will al-
low the ex-Association Champions to play for after the Stock-
tons and Oaklands start on their foreign tours, base ball will
be at a s'andstill in this city unless a series of games Is
arrangen between the Bostons, St. Louis and San FranciscoB
which would prove decidedly interesting as each club holds
second place in its respective organization.

It has not yet been fully determined whether Stockton will
be in the league next season or not, bat the probabilities are
that the Slough city will surrender its charier at the close of
the present season. The latest report is that manager Har-
ris will transfer the entire club to Fresno.

The League directors are still straggling with the proposi-
tion to increase the League to six teams. It is to be hoped
they will decide to add the two extra clubs.

THE ORCHARD-

The Outlook for Next Season's Planting.

Mr. A. B. Truman (Elcbo Kennel) has sold to Mr. C. D.
Thomson, Laird, Colo, an Irish red setter bitch by Mike T —
Lady Elcho T., whelped July 30, 1389.

Mr. C. F. Taylor, at Nevada City, desires to negotiate with
Borne one for live hares. Mr. W. J. Browning, at Merced,
traps them and supplies local coursing clubs. There may
be some one at Bakersfield who could procure hares in any
number.

The English setter BesBie, dam of Mr. Kittle's Luke, Mr.
Linville's Florine, Mr. J. B. Lucas' Bruiser, and others of tbe
handsomest dogs in the State, whelped two puppies on Mon-
day last to Carl R (Leicester — Dart). Both have died — a loss
that is irreparable. Carl R is in Oakland, Bleek, lively and
better in every way than he has been for years, we are told
by his owner Captain Moore.

BASE BALL.

Effect of the Brotherhood Scheme on the
California League.

The advance guard of the California men who are playing
in the National League, arrived here last week in the person
of Fred Carroll of Pittsburg. Fred laughs at the report that
be intends to desert the ball field and go into business with
his father. He says he did not even spring the story as a
bluff for more salary, but only as a joke. Carroll cannot be
induced to say a word regarding the scheme of the Brother-
hood to organize an opposition to the League and Association
and although he is a member of the order he pretends not
to know anything about the plans of Ward and the other
leaders more than he has seen in the daily papers. It is evi-
dent from his manner that he knows a great deal more about
the scheme than he cares to make koown, but he is probably
acting under instruction in keeping silent until after tbe
meeting of the Brotherhood which takes place this month.
Van Haltren will be here next week, and as he is known to
be on the best of terms with Spalding aod Anson, and will
undoubtedly wear a Chicago uniform next season whether
the crazy scheme of Ward & Co. is consummated or not, he
may be able to give some important facts regarding the pro-
position. All that is known at present is that the ball play-
ers intend to form a leagae of their own, maintaining separ-
ate clubs and grounds at New York, Boston, Brooklyn and
Philadelphia in the East, and Buffalo, Pittsburg, Cleveland
and Chicago in the West.

In all probability the planting season of 1889-90 will come
fully up to our expectations as one of unusual activity. The
rain of the past week, BomethiDg very uncommon for this
time of the year, in quantities sufficient to give the ground a
good soaking, has already demonstrated to us that we will be
more than ever enabled to get the ground in proper condi-
tion for planting at an early date, and that it will be in the
best condition, providing that we have an average amount of
rain in the meantime. While our predictions are not always
fulfilled, these showers are a good forerunner for the planters
of orchards and vineyards next season. Even if we are des-
tined to have a dry season, it enables us to plaut eirly, which
is of the utmost importance, although the planting season
lasts until April as a general thing, but those having only
small tracts to Bet out would do well to plant early, and tbe
larger planters aB early as their interests will allow. It is not
always practicable to have as many hmls as one would like
to have in betting out a large orchard, but if possible double
up your crew and finish planting in just as short a time after
putting your land in condition as possible. How large an
acreage will be p'anted this year iB not to a certainty tnowo,
whether it will come up to last Beason's or not. But it is al-
ready reported that the nurseries are prettv well nigh ex-
hausted of some of the principal varieties of their stock. This
1b probably as good an indication of what tbe season will be,
for when the stocks of oar principal varieties are exhausted,
we can then count upon an immense cut be.ng made into
what is left. Still, there are reasona why some varieties are
short this year. Take French prunes, for instance, that the
cut worms played Buch havoc with last spring, and it is easy
to account for them all being taken up; but outside of all this
we find that the general feeling of laud owners is to inorease
their orchards and vineyards.

The prices obtained this year have left the producer a fair
margin, so that he is beginning to feel more secure in his
calling, and that old cry of over-production is fast dying out
aB every year Bbows the profits to be derive! from fruit cul-
ture to be permanent, and thus conviDces those tbnt doubt
whether there is money in fro it that there is. It is etill
heard once in a while now, bat hardly frequently enough to
alarm others interested, generally coming from those who
never will quit grain farming. It is well for a'l intending
planting to engage their trees and vines at once if they have
not alreudy done so. This givos you a belter choice from the
nurseries, and you can then rest content from that part of th?
contract so that you will not be bothered by having to pur-
chase them, whenit might be necessary to tend to the pre-
paration and staking off of your land. We already have re-
ports from our correspondents that this will be one of the
largest planting season** that we have yet had, partienlarlv
is this so of Fresno and Tulare, where they are intending to
largely increase the acreage of raisin grapes. It is a well es-
tablished fact and is generally conceded on all hands now,
that fruit pays a bigger interest on land than anything else
that we can plant, so that everybody owning a tract of land,
be it ever so small or ever bo large should commence layine
their plans and making arrangements to set out as large
piece as their means will allow.

THE FARM.

System in Farming.

Why It Pays flo Make a Specialty ot One Branch ot
Agriculture,

In an address upon this subjeot Mr. Hiram Smith of Wis
cousin Bpoke substantially as follows:

There is much complaint about competition in various
branches of farming, yet few who are in the business can get
out of it safely; they are in to stay. The chief point to con-
sider is bow to make the bnsiness pay. The farmer who aims
to produce a Utile in the many branches of farming and the
one who pursues only the old methods is farming at cross
purposes and does not succeed.

Take an instance: Here is a farmer with 400 acres of land.
He sells steer beef at $3.25 per hundred. This meat was
produced thus: Pastured upoo grass land in Bummer, fed
meadow hay in winter, and finished off with corn.

This man farmed at cross purposes. His neighbor, who
farmed at a purpose, made money by feeding steers, fur he
filled his silo, fed them this in winter and in summer had
them upon pasture while feeding a grain ratio; then sold in
July or August at the best prices Besides making money,
he worked mnoh less bard than his neighbor.

Another case: A farmer, who read that money was made by
breeding trott;ng-horses, went to raising them. Then he
read that there was mouey in Jersey cows; so he tried them.
Not knowing how to mike butter, he soil his milk at the
cheese factory, and of course it went into the general pool.
A dry summer came; the cows went dry, and, to cap the
climax, a cow hooked his head trotter, and— he sold out in
the fall, bankrupt. He had no purpose in hiB farming.

The one who studies all advancements, keeps step with all
the best methods, devotts his best efforts in one direction, to
the production of one class of product, and plans wisely, is
farming to a puroose, and succeeds. The sooner the farmers
of the country concentrate their efforts on special lines, the
earlier will desired success crown their efforts.

Make a specialty of one branch of farming. Crowd that
for all it is worth. Bend every energy to be the best in that
line, and you can hardly fail to succeed.— Dairy World.

Got Eggs Every Day Last Winter.

In the Frst place bens should never be crowded in their
winter quarters; second, corn should never be fed to laying
hen^ as it contains no elements that assist in egg produc-
tion, and is only fit for the fattening process. Now, for my
method, not theoretically given, but as a practical experi-
ence. I got eggs every day last winter, and expect to this
winter. My houses are not artificially heated, nor are tbey
so warm as to keep water from freezing in them; but they are
tight enough to turn all draughts and the windows are sup-
plied with tight shutttrs. The apartments are eight feet
square, and are intended to hold no more than eight hens
The floor is of dry dirt, covered about a foot with clean, dry
straw. This should be forked over every two or three days
and changed for fresh as often as necessary. la the morning
I give a warm feed consisting of bran middlings, very Bruall
portion of oatmeal, and the refuse scraps from the table,
Btirred up in hot milk. I feed only what tbey will eat up
clean; then about ten o'clock, two or three good handfuls of
wheat, oats or barley are thrown into the straw; this keeps
them busy scratching for the rest of the day. A hen must be
given pleuty of exercise; she is sure to become too fat to lay
if she has nothing to do but to stand around and eat. "Ob,
well," some people wonid say, "all this is too much trouble;
it won't pay." Alt right, then, if it don't pay to sell eggs at
thirty-five and forty cents per doz°n, there is no money in
poultry at all. But there is money in it. as hundreds of suc-
cesdsul poultrymen will amply prove. — [Kansas Farmer.

Poultry and Gardening.

While the hens have always been considered the enemies
of gardening, yet they can really be made to perform valua-
ble service if they are kept with a view to having them pro-
vide both vegetables and eggs. The hen should be utilized
for all she is worth, and a large loss occurs every year by not
taking advantage of the benB as a useful adjunct to gardening
and also for pulverizing and rendering fine the manure of the
barnyard- If the hen can be made to return to the farmer a
large portion of the food consumed for fertilizing purposes, it
is so much addition to the profit; but under the conditions
in which she is kept on miny farms, her usefulness is lost,
although the system practiced is under a mistaken supposi-
tion that It U economical. The true method of keeping bens
is to render them serviceable'in producingeggs, meat and veg-
etables. No donbt many readers will smile over the thought
of the hens producing vegetables, but experiments made have
demonstrated that the yield of vegetables can be increased
100 per. cent by simply arranging the proper yards for that
purpose.

To explain, it may be Btated that only one-third of the
poultry droppings is secured from under the roosts, while
two-thirds of this valuable fertilizer is lost, to a certain ex-
tent, by being dropped in a manner to prevent proper ap-
propriation for purposes desired. The garden, therefore,
should be in the poultry yards, and the yards should be
changeable. That is. each Hock should have two yards, in
one of which something Bhould be growing while the other
is occupied by the hens. The growing material can be util-
ized for the hens when it is only a few inches high, nod as it
is not necc*sary for such green food to mature, the changing
of the flicks from one yard to another will be frequent.
And here is an important point— weeds will be destroyed—
which means the saving of a vast amount of labor during
the growing Hcasou. During ihe winter keep the fowls con-
fined during the whole time in the ya^ds intended for early
vegetables, and then change them. By the time the early
vegetables are harvested the yard oooupied will be ready for
later crops. The object is to concentrate the droppings on a
limited area.

If preferred, the poultry house and yard Bhould adjoin the
regular garden plot. The plot should he cleaned, plowed.
and the hens lurnei iu as soon as the crops are off. It will
he well ftrtdiz«d during the period from Novemher to May,
if the flock i-* large, and the rapidity of growth, and increase
of yield will be surprising. There is no neoessity for allow-
ing the droppings of fowls to be wanted, and the fowls
themselves will evenly distribute the fertilizer. Another
thing that is overlooked is the throwing of the horse manure
under a abed, to b« male fine by the bens from which tbey
secure food, and render it in the best possible condition for
crops that are desired early.— Mirror and Farmer,

Management of Swine-

[Letter by H. D. Nichol. NaBbville, Tenn., to UUes County Farmero'

Association. ] __

It is veiy true I have studied the hog very closely, not
merely for 'the profit I derive from them, but for the love I
have for laising them. 1 like swine raising better than any
other stock I commenced handling hogs when merely a
boy twelve or fifteen years old I first started with the com-
mon hog, a sow that was given me by my fathers overseer
in the year 1858 or 1859 I think I kept that bow about three
years realizing but small profits fro ai her or her progeny.
About the vear 1865 or 1866 my brother and myself formed a
partnership in the hog business, which partnership lasted
but a short time. My brother drew out. at which time the
Essex hog was very much in favor in my neighborhood, and
we never having heard of such a hog, were very anxious to
see them and after seeing them were more than anxious to
have and try them, they were so pretty and so easy to keep
fat My experience with them was of very short duration.
With all care we very seldom could get a sow to have more
than one or two litters of pigs, and then very few in number,
twocr four pig*. Six, I believe, is the largeBt litter I ever
heard of an Essex pig furrowing at one time. Besides, they
make poor mothers, and very poor suckl-rs. After farrow,
ing one or two litters they become noi>breeders, will come
in heat regulirly and be strved, but never get with pig; a'
least that was our experience with them and the chief rea-
son we abandoned Ihem. aodai olher reason was they were
not lar^e enough. I will say one thing in favor of the Essex
hog they are the easiest to fatten and will keep fat on less
feed than any other breed of swine that I Lave ever tried. In
1S68 mv father sent to Kentucky to purchase a few Chester
Whites' from Mr. Scott. When they arrived I thought now we
had what we had been looking for so long a time— something
large and fine. We kept them two or three veers, but soon
found that the Chester White was not the hog for us in that
day and time. The color, iD the first place, was objectiona-
ble; second, too subject to mange; third and lastly, too long
in maturing. Becoming somewhat disheartened with hogs,
as I could not give them proper attention and gi to school
too, I abnndoned them lor several years. On my return home
from Fchool I found on the farm a lot of thoroughbred scrubs
and I thought after all they would do; there was not much
in the breed of hogs, anyway. But on getting acquainted
with an Ohio farmer who had lately moved to Tennessee and
brought with him what he called the Poland-China hog. and
after visiting him several times and hearing him talk, I
thought I would try some more 6o-called fine bogs So I pro-
cured several sows' and a male at high prices from my old
Ohio friend. I was perfectly delighted with them for a
while.

They grew to be very large, but after experimenting with
them awhile I found t-everal objections to them; first, they
were a coarse hog, second, they were too lazy to get around
and hustle for themselves. Whenever you fed them in the
morning there's where you would find them at all hours of
the day and night loo, I presume; third and lastly, I do not
consider the bacon and ham meat from the Poland-China
near as *rm meat as from either of the above mentioned
breeds. For lard alone. I do not believe the Poland-China
can be surpassed by anv breed, not even by my hobby, the
Berkshire. And again, I could not get them to mature as
early as I thought they ought to.

A friend and neighbor of onrs at that time had procured
some Berkshires, and was boastiog of the wonderful things
he could make thera do at a certain age with a certain amount
of food. I was, if course, interested, and watched him, both
as to the care he took of them and the feed, and soon found
out that the black dish or short face, white pointB Berkshire
pig was the pig for me. I believe I have been handlirg
swine altogether about twenty-four years, and my experience
teaches me that the Berkshire is bv all means the r.est bog
for all purposes that I have ever handled. They grow large
enough and are easily kept, being an active, industrious hng
in providing for itself. I have often been asked the question,
what breed of hogs T considered the most profitable to raise
in Tennessee? My answer invariably was the one that you
can get the most money out of. My experience is the Berk-
shire, with the same amount of food attention. I believe
they are less liable to the different hcg diseases. I have been
handling hogs, as I have said before, twenty-four years, and
I don't remember of ever losing bnt three head of grown
hogs by any disease during this time. Do not understand
me as claiming my hogs as disease proof, for I do not.

I attribute my good fortune to my well watched farm and
my untiring efforts to keep them clean of all nits, lice, etc.
My expenditures for medicine for hogs during the twenty-
four y ats will not exceed $5, except coal oil, copperas, sul-
phurand pine tar, which I use freely. I believe that one-
half the hog diseases and death are caused from close confine-
ment, pond water and pure neglect. I give all my hrgs, ex-
cept boars, the run of seventy acres of wood pasture that haB
large quantities of maBt timber, such as white and red oak.
beech, hickory and walnut; the latter, hogs will not or cannot
eat uutil they have been frozen. This picture, as wf 11 as
the boar 'o*a, has a lasting stream of spring water running
through them.

My brood sows are kept up for a short time during farrow-
ing times until the pigs are weaned when they are bred and
turned hack in pasture lots. Pigs are kept up and fed in
small lots until six or ten months old, then if not sold they
are either put in the smoke house or turned out with herd.

As I have given you my idea of the different breeds of
swine that I have handled in the State of Tennessee, I do not
wish to get into any controversy in makiug this statement.
They may do better for others in the State or elsewhere. This
is merely my experience with the hogs. I may not have had
the best'strains of them, but I thought I did. I paid enough
for them.

I will now endeavor to give you my idea of feeding and
caring for pigs from farrowing to the block.

1st. — I give the sow a good, quiet place to farrow (so as to
get the best returns); if in winter or cold weather in early
spring, a small house is prepared for them in each sow lot of
about one-fourth of an aore, a otean bed of wheat straw or
leaves — the latter is the best — which is changed once or twice
in seven days. The sows are fed on oats, barley and a sma'I
quantity of corn ground altogether and cooked with beets,
parsnips and turnips for at least a week before farrowing.
When the pigs first come nothing is given the sow for at least
twenty-four hours except cold water. The third day begin
with mixed feed again in small quantities gradually increas-
ing feed until it gels to full rations again, then add all the
milk that can be had — either sweet or pour. When pigB are
strong eoough they are allowed full sway to go where they
please (except in the gardon). The tow is kept confined in
the pen and fed all the milk producing food she will eft.
PigB ought to have a small pen in which a [rough should be
kept full of something for th^m to get at will where the
mother could Dot get into, When pigs are nine to twelve '

weeks old, the sow can be removed and the pigs retained in ,
the pen for at least one week longer; then they can be turned
out every morning into a clover field, fed in the pen three ■
times a day on oat«, barley aud corn, equal parts ground to-
gether, and pumpkins and a little milk would help amazingly^
A few days or two weeks before killing they should be con^«
fined in pens and fed on corn alone to make the meat firm. '

This is the treatment I gave about nineteen head of my
Berkshires last year. They were the refuse ones out of a- .
bout eighty or ninety head, and they average net at seven to
twelve months old, 215 pounds of meat. I have ten head
this year left for my killing out of about the same number,
farrowers now abont eight or nine months old, but I doubt
very much if I get the same average this year, as both my
oats and barley gave out early in the season, and I have to
rely wholly upon new cnrn; but if you wish it at killing time,
which is in November, I will forward you the results.

Mv treatment to brood sows is different. I do not believe
in keeping them too fat, let them have full run of pasture.
Barely feed them enough to keep them gentle and come at
call, except when they are Buckling pigs, then I feed full as
stated above.

Now if my experience, and my feeble way of expressing
myself, is of any value to my maDy superiors in the hog bus-
iness, they are entirely welcome. You can have it for what
it is worth. 1 have written already more than I intended to
worry yon with, so I will close, wishing you success, and
hoping it may be so that I can bs with you on the 14th of
September next.

A Ship-Load of Prize-Winning Percherons.

The steampship Lydian Monarch, which reached New York
not long since, carried one of the best lots of prize-winoing
Ptrcherons that ever left France. As soon as the great Pans
International Horse Show was over Mr. W. L E lwood made
special arrangements to have his stock shipped according to
hiB own idea; so it was that the horses traveled across the
Atlantic in six and eight feet padded stalls. Nothing was too
good for the handsome black two-year-old Baccarat, that
defeated 100 of his own age at the Percheron show of La
Ferte-Bernard, being placed at the top of the list without
hesitation, and when he turned up in Paris to tight the battle
over again, he walked to the front seat amid the cheers of the
excitable Frenchmen. Another leading importing firm at
once despatched an order to buyhini and bid $3,000 for him,
but the secret cime out that Baccarat had been bought for
Mr. Ellwood before he had ever been prepared for the ring
by Mr. Tom Sloan, whose judgment seldom fails him when
he sees a good one. Another one going to DeKalb was
Orsini a three-year-old, the famous iroc-gray colt which fol-
lowed Baccarat's foot-teps, taking first prize iu the Percheron
ring at La Ferte Bernard and doubling ihe laurels in PariB by
taking off first prize, beating not only all his o'd opponents,
but makiDg twenty other uoshownones take a back seat.

Another of Mr. Ellwood's three year-olds is a grand horse
named Turco, wLich v as second at La Ferte-Bernard and lost
a point in Pi ris, tak'ng third there. How many good judges
did I hear say that Turco ought to have headed the liBt, even
to the displacement of Orsini. If I am not mistaken, Turco
is goir g to replece poor King of Perche, and a grand repre-
sentative he will be, Among the mare-* I noticed Bobs Bon-
heur. This remarkable mare seemed to ride over everything
in a'l our shows. I saw her heading the list at Montagne in
1S87 as a two-year-old; then at Nogeut she wiped out every- ,
thing in the three-year-old ring of 1883, and won every local
prize in 1889, and went to the International at Paris to take
secnd place in a field of fifty.

And now for a look at the eoachers. The grand dark bay '

16.2 handB went off with the tirrt premium iu the three-year* |
old class, aud 6econd priz^ was taken by a dark brown horse :

16.3 hands and a great mover. In the four-year-old ring the 1
well-named horse Handsome. 16 3 hands, carried everything
before him, possessing style and action such as we are all
looking for* a head and neck belonging to the Thoroughbred, j
fair bone, but grand quality. He is as near the perfect ani- 1
mal as you expect to find. All these fine fellows and twenty
more are going to the Elwood establishment.

Mr. James C. Smith, of Oakland, Cal.. had a picked lot on
board. A couple of two-year-old Percherons were greatly ad- j
mired; the beBt yearling io France is owned by him, and a
two-year-old mare which took fifth prize at La Ferte-Bern- ]
ard, sired by Brilliant 3d, is also going to Oakland. I had
also on board a few head which I had intended wintering on ]
the Pacific, but two of them were bought in New York by 1
diaries V. Holder of Bloomington, 111.

Killing Contest.

The sheep killing contest between Henry O'Brien, the
champion of America, and Henry Gaile, better known as
"English Harry," and who claims the championship of Eng-
land, took place recently at Shooting Park, Newark, N. J
and was a novelty to the majority oi the 500 spectators pres-
ent. The pen upon which the men were to contest for the
championship was located in the center of the park, and was
roped off to prevent the spectators from crowding in on the
contestants. O'Brien was the first to make his appearance,
but was soon followed by Gaile. Both men carried all
necessary implements in a Bquare leather case. Before the ;
men Btarted in on their task many bets were made in favor of !
O'Brien, while a fellow-conntrvman of Gaile bad pluck i
enough to shont out, "'Hi'H bet 550 to $40 that Gaile wins,"
and his offer was soon snatched up by a stalwart Irishman. |

In the tosB for place and pick of sheep Gaile won, and this |
helped bim a great deal Each man had ten shef p and each
were allowed helpers, O'Brien's man btiog F. Frick, while |
Billy Corrigan assisted Gaile. Mr. M&}bauiii told the helpers J
to kill the Bbeep and the contestants would not be allowed
to begin until tbey had died.

It was joBt 4:18 o'clock when Phil Kirehner gave the men
tfie word to start. Both men worKed hard at legging the J
sheep. O'Brien proved to be the more rapid of the two at i
this point, and he had his four sheep strung up and ready
for pelting nearly five minutes ahead of Gaile, and he also
placed five dressed sheep on the hook before Gaile had one to
his oredit. But this did not discourage the plucky English-
man, and he stuck to hiB work like wax. O'Brien, seeing I
that the Englishman was gaining on hi in, began to relax his
quick movements, and by the time be had his seventh sheep
pelted, he was mnoh weaker, and could hardly stand. The
Englishman, seeing this, quiokened his movements, aud was
nearly two sheep ahead of O'Brien when the latter gave op,
completely exhausted.

Gaile never stopped to look at OBrien's actions, bnt kept
right on dressing bis sheep, and finished the ten in thirty-
two minutes. Theorowd then broke through the ropes, aud
Gaile was carried around the park by bis friends, who ex-
pressed much glee oyer bis victory, while O'Brien' was eur-

Bad Beef.

A London dispatch of the 8th inst. says: Startling revela-
iona concerning the foreign extract of meat business have
i3t beem made at a provincial police court, where a boy was
barged at the instance of the Koyal Society for the preven-
ion of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelty to a horse while
riving it during the night in an almost dying state. An in-
pector of the society stated upon oath that investigation had
eveloped the faot, that the animal was being taken to a man
?ho exported hundreds of tons of horse flesh annually to
intwerp, where it was made into extract of beef. It was
Ibo stated that animals barely able to crawl were gathered
a by this individual from a1! parts of the country. These
evelations have made a profound sensation among the med-
cal profession as well as in the grocery business, and steps
re being taken without delay to prove their truth or falsi-

San Francisco Beef Supply.

Ordinarily Nevada supplies San Francisco with its juiciest
.teaks and fattest beef at this season of the year. For years
be annual shipments of fat cattle from the desert station of
iVinnemucca ranged from 20,000 to 28,000 head, and odo year
he total shipments, including dressed beefs, exceeded 35,000
lead. Now, in consequence of the unprecedented drouth
vhieh has prevailed in central and northern Nevada for
on e years, the shipments of "beef are comparatively few, and
he bCuck that is being taken out of the country is poorer
'ban cattle usually are in the spring. Many of thb large
itook ranges in the country are being depleted. Miller &
Lux have driven thousands of head across the mountains to
California, aB have also Riley & Hardin and N. H. A. Mason.
3ei, D. Blips has shipped a large number of his cattle to his
ranches in California, andM. BrandenBtein & Co., make tbeir
mipment of 600 head to tbeir California ranches to-day. *jP.
3ween°y has driven a fart of his herds to Churchill County,
where hay is plenty, ana T. B. Eickey will not have many

aaveawet winter, and we doubtless will, unless climatic
changes which wi 1 result in the depopnlatiou of the country

Milking Shorthorns.

In the battle of the breeds, as in all other rights, the spoils
;o to the victor. In this fight the spoils are actual, tangible,
ind worth striving for. The cattle, horses, sheep and pigs of
he whole world are only waiting foe improvement, and Ihe
jreed that is most capable is the one that will be sought after.
And the conscientious and successful breeder of that strain
>r race cannot fail to have the world at his feet. Good blood
s wanted, and good blood must be obtained. "Where it
txists it can and will maintain its price.

But where does it exist? That is the great question, and

me on which the world is wailing to receive the answer.

What the leuly should be ought to depend on ascertained

■act, and not on fancy or the free play of lively imagination.

it is perfectly true that theie is no Buch thing as a general-

ourcose breel that excels in all the sections of merit. It

loes not exist, it never has existed, and it never will exist,

'tis the tLeoretical idea of a few American enthusiasts and

.heir less intellectual imitators on ihis side of the Atlantic.

;3ut what is practically perfec ion in branches of usefulness

nay be found in almost any breed, and certainly the Short-

iotn, when not too much pampered, is the nearest approach

o the general-purpose breed that the world has yet seen.

J nf or innately, we live in times when a few printed words are

iken as the equal to actual facts, and, if cleverly written, as

operior. Cenainly in this coontty we have no breed tbat is

ll-round better than the Shorthorn, and it is doubtful it

here are any niilkiug cattle that beat some of the unpedi-

;reed animals of the breed. Where they have degenerated,

iven the pedigreed ones, it is the fault of the breeder rather

han of the breed.

I We are led to make these remarks because of a rather un-

ust attack upon the breed as a whole, which appears in the

■ irecders' Gazatte in its reports on the fairs. The questiou

> 3 sarcastically aBked, "Where are the milking Shorthorns';'

,nd we are practital'y told that at the Iowa Fair, '*in all the

uany barns tilled by the extensive Shorthorn exhibit, there

ras but little testimony to show the casual observer whether

he breed was capable of prodDciDg aDy kind of batter other

han oleo." Again we are told that "there was, indeed, but

ittle to vary the dull monotony of fat in calf heifers and tal-

iwy cows." And, in fact, it is added that Shorthorns are not

ackers because "they are not built that way."

We really mu6t protest against such a luose attack on oor
liatoric breed, simply because some American buyers have
elected pampered animals rather than those bred for use and
irofit. That it was an unjust remark to infer that Sbort-
iornB "are not built that way" our contemporary him elf
hows, for he is quite enthusiastic over one cow — a recent
mport from this country, we are pleased to see. This ani-
aal, Mr. N. P. Clarke's Gypsy Maid— "was almost enough
a herself to stand solitary and alone for the glory of the
reed. With ber 2,000 pounds of fine flesh, carried in Bmall-
■ st possible superficies, on neatest of limbs; a finely devel-
. ped udder, wtll-tet teatB, and a lusty calf frolicking by her
jide, this cow — like Princess Alice at the Adams sale— might
'rell challenge the attention of the moBt critical." This fact
f itself shows that the attack on the whole breed is unjusti-
able. The selection arid management by Americsn buyers
1 nd breeders —and the same holds good of English, Scotch
nd Irish — is, in but too many instances, at fault
, There is no breed that may not lose every good point by
I weless breeding. To call atiention to this is good and use-
ll, and breeders should listen to such well-meant criticism,
'here is do breed tbat can be described aB having but odo
lent. It is equally true to Bay that the great inherent quali
eB of the fauiouB Teeswater race of bovine stock is its apli-
lde to become great milkers. If, as our contemporary ad-
lits, "deep milkers exist in nearly every representative herd"
i America, it ought not to be difficult to extend their nu Do-
ers,

We cannot help thinking, however, that the attack is but a
base in the battle of the breeds, and that some other varie-
r of cattle expects to divide the spoils.— Mark Lane Express

We have seen in the Uet few years some of as good Here-
fdrds as arty in the States exhibited at our fairs in Califbrnia,
and they have gradually been sold here and there until they
now threaten to usurp the supremacy which the shorthorn
or Durham has so long held as a superior early beef pro-
ducer. The "History of Hereford Cattle," which recently
appeared, gives many interesting facts about the breed, and
a few quotations should not be out of place.

They are celebrated for their uniformity, abundance of
flesh, well mixed or marbled meat, exceptional constitution,
and as being particularly good, hardy grass cattle.

Hereford cattle are remarkable for the distinctiveness and
uniformity of their outward characteristics and general at-
tributes. The red curly hair and broad kindly-looking white
face mark the trail of the Hereford wherever the breed has
roamed. In former times the mottle-faced and grey stains
were cultivated, but all of these have disappeared, and now
the white-faces reign supreme. This distinguishing feature
would seem to be indelibly stamped in the breed. The ever
present, outward and visible Bign of the breed, it forms a
striking instance of the remarkable power and reliability of
undiluted, loog-sustained hereditary influence. The almost
unique permanency of the white face is the strongest possi-
ble evidence as to the purity of the Hereford breed. Here-
ditary power is the sorest sign of purity of descent, and it
any be doubted if any characteristic in any of our domesti-
cated variety of farm live stock is more firmly fixed than the
white face of the Hereford.

Who tbat visits our live btock shows does not admire the
beautiful, rich, red curly coats of the HerefordB? They are
also noted for their quiet, docile tempers and kindly expres-
sion of the face, features of some practical importance, for
they are indicative of good fattening properties. The pre-
vailing color ib red, from moderately light to dark in shade;
some preferring the deep, rich, red, while others favor the
paler shades.

In conformation, the breed displays nearly as much uni-
formity aB in color. The most striking features of this are
tbeir broad, level back, deep, wide chest and brisket, hang-
ing dewlap, light thighs and great wealth of flesh. The broad
back, wide rib and wealth of flesh have been cultivated for
the purpose ot meat production, but the old characteristic of
light thighs, though less apparent than it has been, is still a
noticeable defect in many animals. The more successful of
modern breeders have with good results, given careful atten-
tion to tba removal of this deficiency.

An important characteristic in Hereford Cattle is that they
carry flesh moat heavily on the parts of the fiamefrom which
the best meat is cut. The broad backs are usually loaded
with meat of the finest quality, and the average Hereford
carcass is found to have its fat and lean mixed in the most
admirable manner. Butchers and consumers alike, hold Here-
ford beef in high eeteem. Indeed the grass fed Hereford
beef enjoys quite aD enviable reputation and brings top fig-
ures in the best markets of the cuuntry. The perfect mixing
of Hereford beef has been notorious for generations. The
proportion of lean -to fat is exceptionally large, and the whole
is juicy, tender and cbo:oely favo-ed.

Hereford cattle are unsurpassed as grazers. Robust in
constitution, quiet in temperament, kindly feeders, and large
growers, they thrive and fatten admirably on pasture laud.
No variety of cattle-will give a better return for the run of a
yard and moderate feeding during winter.

It is well kuown that Herefords are exceptionally robust
and hardy. They Buffer less than most other varieties from
exposure to cold and wtt, and it would appear that their
share of the common ailments of the cattle kind is compara-
tively light. Abortion is a rare occurrence, and Hereford
co ws, even when submitted to extreme high pressure in feed-
ing breed with remarkable regularity.

At one time the dairy properties of the Herefords were of
a high order. In Cornwall the breeders of Herefords have
kept milk production carefully in view, and there the breed
enjoys a goed name in the dairy as well as in the feeding-
house. But in the old home ot the Herefords attentio 1 has
been almost exclusively devoted to beef production, with the
result that while the quality of Hereford milk is as rich as
ever, the yield is rather less than formerly.

The Hereford breed has attained a good name and firm
footing in many parts of this country btyond its own native
districts, while in foreign lands it has won favor which is
rapidly extending This is not to be wondered at, for the
inherent properties of the breed render it well worthy the
attention of all cattle owners whose main purpose is the pro-
duction of high-c'ass beef.

Mr. Richard Hintbn, the expert, estimates that it would
cost $50,000,000 to reclaim our arid lands, but that once re-
claimed they will support 1C0,000,000 people. England has
expended $100,000 000 in irrigating the aria lands of East
India, and the investment has brought profitable returns.
The estimate is that it costs an average of $16 per acre to
introduce artificial irrigttion, which is less than the cost of
clearing land.

Investments in American cattle ranches have not proved
profitable to British investors. In 1888 three companieB out
of ten, only paid dividends, and these were less than three
percent. One company has a debit of $200,000 in the sus-
pense account for "shortage" of herds, another estimates the
decrease of herds at $470,000, and other companies have
debit balances of $495,000, $435,000, $185,000 and $550,000.

A recent dispatch says that pleuro-pneumouia has been dis-
covered among cattle shipped to England from th>- northwest.
The object of this announcement is apparent. The cattle in-
terests of Europe are becoming alarmed at the steady inflow
of American cattle and are seeking through the medium of
an unfounded alarm to secure the restriction of these impor-
tations. Bismark's experience in coppering the American
hog is not lost upon Europe when the aggressiveness of a
western industry threatens local interest.

Unpainted Bee Hives.

Unpainted hives during a very wet, rainy time would prob-
ably get more damp aDd soggey than painted ones; but
when the sun comes out I think they wfll dry on*, outside
and inside, quicker. In the early spring, when the bees
need all the benefit they can get from the sun, a black un-
painted hive would certaiuly secure more warmth; bat when
the great heat of the summer snn becomes an objection, it
would be just the other way. A careful, enlightened, in-
telligent bee keeper will, as a rule, have not only his bee
hives, but his implements and every thing else, inclnding
house and barn, kept well painted, while the slipshod don't
care old foggy would be pretty sure to have everything un-
painted; therefore paint indicates the character of the man.
I should hesitate Borne about wanting my hives to present
such an appearance as unpainted ones usually do. — Bee

Cattle Notes.

Dutch cattle can now enter the interior of England. The
embargo has lasted ten years How soon can American cat-
tle be allowed to go into England alive?

George Doherty. the owner of Victor (HayBeed) believes in
having well-bred cattle as well as horses. While in Carson he
lately purchased a three-year-old Holstein heifer, Eaparalte,
which has figured successfully in the show-ring several
times. She is in calf to an exceptionally fine, pore-bred
Holstein bull.

Kerry cows are running those of the Channel Islands hard
as dairy cattle aDd are fast becoming fashionable. The
Queen paid them a good deal of attention at the royal show
at Windsor, and since then a choice herd of this breed has
been selected for her Majesty and forwarded to the royal
dairy farm at Winsdor. The Prince of Wales and the dukes
of Westminster, Leinster and Abercorn have also commenced
the breeding of Kerries.

A good cow is described by Prof. Robertson as follows:
"She is flat-ribbed just back of the shoulders, and has well-
sprung ribs further back. She has broad, flat ribs, and so
far apart tbat one can lay two fingers between them. Her
skin should be loose and flappy over the flank, and her um-
bilical developments should be firm and strong, with the
veins of the belly very prominent. She should be broad be-
tween the eyes, should have a short and Blightly disked face
and bright and promient eyes. BesideB, the poll or forehead
Bhould be long between the horns and the eye; the neck
should be clean and thin, the backbone strong, tbe pelvic
arch high, tbe bams thin to give ample room for a large ud-
der, and the tail should be long, slim or flat. She should
have a long udder, extending well back and in front— one
that will be soft and flappy when milked out— and should
have a three-fold, wedge-sbaped form, the general tendency
of weight b iog toward the udder, indicating power to pro-
duce milk."

Cut away the old canes from raspberry aDd blackberry
bushes as soon as fruit gathering is over, leaving only those
desired for fruiting next season.

Young hogs will do do damage in the orchard, and will
pick up all the wormy apples and keep the clover from kill-
ing out and the weeds from taking possession of the orchaid.

Too much corn is very generally assigned as a cause of
hog cholera, and now a farmer advances the opinion that too
much corn has been the cause of cholera among bis poultry.

During the wet, warm weather, tomato plants have been
niakiDg extraordinary growth, while setting very little fruit.
Good gardeners often run a sharp spade down beside the
plants to prune their roots and induce the formation of fruit.

Among the newer strawberries tbat seem to have made a
record the past season over a wide extent of country of huffici-
ent promise to justify a general trial may be mentioned Pearl,
Jessie, Bahoch, Warfieid and Haverland.

Ripening Cream.

Mr. F. D. Curtis, of Saratoga county, one of the New
York's recognized authorities in various matters pertaining to
the farm, never churns his cream less than twenty-four
hourBold. and he aini3 to have it forty-eight hours, and tries
to kepp it in such a condition that it will be forty-eight
hours old. It is theu only slightly acid. This helpB the
process of separating the butter globules. When the cream
is properly ripened, it speaks for itself. It looks bright col-
ored and his a bright, satiny appearance, oracks open on
the top, and you can almost see tbe butter in the cream. As
soon as it reaches this point, it wants to be churned right
then and there.

Now the great trouble with tbe average dairymaD is he
don't observe these thiDgs closely enough. He does not
skim tbe milk properly, and the cream is kept too loDg. Mr,
Curtis would not put old cream with sweet cream. Warm
your cream up to about 75 degs., but sourness does not rip-
en the cream. By a little neglect in ripening the cream you
cannot get all your butter. He has no doubt that he has
lost 5,000 pounds of batter during the last ten years by not
ripeniDg his cream properly. He would get his cream par-
tially ripened, put his sweet cream in and let the whole rip-
en. By repeated experiments he found by these means he
bad been losing about 10 per cent, of his butter. By ripe-
ning his cream together he his no trouble in gtttirjg at least
10 per cent, more butter than he ever did by the old method,
and he attributes this loss entirely to the ripening.

The Value of Leached Ashes-

Until the last few years all the wood ashes made on the
farm were leached to produce lye for soft soap, aod my mo-
ther always insisted upon having a half bushel of lime mixed
with ashes in tbe leach to produce lye strong enongh to bear
up an egg, and in selecting ashes for tbe leach, if any had be-
come damp, they were discarded as unfit and were mixed
with last year's leached ashes and Bpplied on the farm, usu-
ally where coru was to be planted, and always with good re-
sults. The lime put in the leach will show itself in the soil
many years afterwardB. I have plowed up lime with a few
ashes Distinguishable that my father put on twenty years be-
fore, and never had a poor crop where they were put. It was
on Btooy ground that could not be so thoroughly filled as
freer soil, consequently lasted longer. Some ten years ago
I planted corn on a field that bad a poor Bpot in which no-
thing of any amount would grow. No one could tell why.

Before plauting I took the ashes from tbe last year's leach
and spread them over this poor place, then spread stable
manure over it the same as the rest of the field. The corn
grew larger on that poor spot where the ashes were than on
aDy part of the field. The next year the oats were a failure
on that Bpot; they grew up a little, half headed, fell down
and died. The crop of rye following aod all other orops
since, even the grass, have been better on that spot than
any other in the field, but there were too much ashes for oatF
the first year.— Country GeDtleman.

Gentlemen: I look upon horses the same as Unman beings. They say that a horse baa no soul. I
dont't believe that is possible. It does not seem to me that so true, brave and noble an animal as a horse,
after having spent a life of toil and drudgery, will die, and that is the end. I feel like thanking everyone
who does a kind act for the horse family, and for that reason, if for no other, I take the opportunity of
thanking you for having invented a medicine that brings as much comfort to them as I am sure your
CELEBRATED TABLETS do. Mr. Wm, McClosson, the foreman of my stable, tells me that he has never
tried anything in his long experience that gives such relief to a sore horse as the wash prepared from
your medicine.

Hoping for the sake of the horsa family that every horse owner in the land will try it, I remain,

Yours truly, John Splan.

Healdsburg Races.

The Healdsburg Driving Clnb, like several other organiza-
tions, had to postpone their meeting, owing to the incessant
rains, and last Thnrsday, under favorable conditions, they
held their second day's racing, the first having been held be-
fore the rains. On Thursday morning, therefore, I paid my
first ?isit to Healdsburg, leaving at 7:40 and crossing to Tib-
uron and thence on the S. F. and North Pacific Koad. The
journey was very pleasant the weather being splendid and the
scenery as picturesque as any in the State, while the train
service was admirably conducted.

Shortly before arriving at Healdsburg orchards, vioeyards,
acres of hops and green alfalfa were seen on all hands, and
on getting out at the old town I was cordially received by
every one. The town has quite an appearance of respectable
age and antiquity that many a new place would give thou-
sands for; its old piazza with the little tower and bell, quaint,
comfortable hostelrys and good substantial buildings, all tend-
ing to give an air of solidity and stability to the city. The
races, which were both running and trotting, took place a
couple of hundred yards from the town on a half mile track,
which was built on ground leased by the club, and the
weather being all that could be desired a goodly number of
local people patronized the races, the ladies particularly grac-
ing the grounds every day with their presence, while from
the county road outside the track quite as large a crowd
viewed the proceedings without going inside the gates.

The judges on Thursday were Messrs. J. Bailhaohe, J. B.
Hinckle and D. R. Misner. Timers — A. J. Zane and. H. "W.
Peek.

District Roadsters.

First Heat— Jim E was readily ^made favorite at $5 to $2
for the field. When the trio came out for the first heat a
start was effected the first time. Jim R broke before the first
turn was reached. Bab and Juanita, keeping together, were
five lengths in front of him up the back stretch. Bab, how-
ever, drew away round the upper turn, and trotting steadily,
was two lengths to the good at the wire for the nrst time,
and retained her advantage the second time round, while Jim
E broke several times, BaD winning by two lengths from Ju-
anita, with Jim R three further back. Time 3:23.

Second Heat — Jim R still sold favorite at §5 to the field's
$2, but on receiving the word, again broke before the turn
was reached, and Bab, trotting steadily, was three lengths in
front of Juanita all the way round, with Jim two lengths be-
hind. Bab increased her lead round the turn, but up the
back stretch Jim R came fast, and trotting steadily, was'
level with the leader on the upper turn, and despite two
breaks in the stretch was only beaten by two lengths, Bab
first a head in front of Joanita. Time 3:19$.

Special Trot — For Named Horses.
The second race was a special, with three named horses,
the youngest of whom could not be less than sixteen years
old. Stranger, who has been on the track before, won easily
in straight heats. In the first Kitty Richmond and Sam Til-
den broke repeatedly, Stranger winning as he pleased in 3:13,
with Kitty, who would not trot, 100 yards behind. The sec-
ond heat was a repetition of the first, except in time, which
was 3:09. In the third, Vail drove Tilden and Lawrence
Kitty. The latter did no better than in her previous attempts,
but the improvement in Tilden was manifest, for he hung
close to Stranger all the way. and forced him out in 3:04, five
seconds faster than the previous heat.

Match Race.
The third race, a half-mile and repeat, was a match for $50
between Stoneman and Lucky Dan, Stoneman being at once
made favorite at $10 to £6, and in the race justified the con-
fidence placed in him, for in both heats he ran easily, and
though it was a close finish, a head in the first heat and a
neck in the second, he cculd easily have made it more.

FRIDAY.

The judges were Messrs. R. Murphy, J. B. Hinckle and G.
Hague. Timers — Messrs. Zane and Sperry.

The weather was simply perfection, and consequently the
crowd was much larger inside and outside the pate. The first
race, trotting, 2:40 class, had three entries, Misner's David
S was made favorite at So to the field $3. The word was
given after scoring up twice. Miller broke badly before the
turn, dropping back fifty yards. Stranger, on the inside, led
David a length all the way, and though the latter collared
him in the stretch, he left his feet and ran for forty yards,
finishing a head behind Stranger, with Miller fifty yards
further back. Time, 3:00.

In the second heat after scoring once the. word was given
with all three level. David and Miller both broke before the
turn, Stranger cutting out the work to the head of the
stretch the second time around, when David came right up
to him, and the old horse left hi3 feet, losing by a length,
Miller sixty yards behind. Time, 2:56}.

In the third heat Miller broke as usual before the turn and
was five lengths behind at the first quarter, but closing grad-
ually, was only three lengths behind when cne lap had been
turned, and waking up, went right past the other two on the
backstretch, and though Stranger made a game effort he
broke in the stretch and was beaten two lengths. Miller first,
Stranger second. Time, 2:55h.

The fourth heat saw a change in the betting, Miller being
now favorite at So to $4 for the other two. Miller, as usual,
broke before the turn and was ten lengths behind Stranger at
the first quarter. David went up to Stranger and both trot-
ting well led four lengths the first time past the stand. Stran-
ger drew away up the backstretch, but Miller came like a
whirlwind round the turn and collared the leaders at the
distance and was soon a length in front, and though he broke
twenty yards from the wire, won by a leDgth, Stranger half a
length in front of David. Time, 3:06}.

Miller now sold for So to $3 for the field. Miller this lime
trotted steadily with Stranger hanging on to his wheel all the
way round, and David three lengths behind. Miller left his
feet the second time going round the first turn, and though
he trotted fast up the backstretch and regained most of his
ground, he bad to go very wide on the upper turn, and with
David and Stranger trotting head and head and Miller com-
ing fast a hot finish was made, David beating Stranger a head
and Miller, who came very strong, was a close third. Time,
3:04.

Whon the bell was tapped for the start in the third heat
Stranger went off best, leading a length to the quarter, but
Miller, who had not left his feet, went past and stayed in
front to the finish, winning easily by three lengths, David
second. Time 3:06k

Trotting— Free For All.

A big day's work being before them, the secretary advertised
the meeting to start at one prompt, and precisely on time the
bell was rung for the trotting free for all, with two entries,
Clara Z. and Harry S. Clara Z. sold a red hot favorite at $5
to S3 for Farry, and with the latter breaking three cr four
times in the first heat, the mare won easily in 2:o5£. Betting
was now all over, and Clara going out first, led two lengths
all the way, taking the heat in 2:48}. In the third beat Clara
led two lengths all the way round, but on making the secoDd
circuit Harrv came up to her, and after a tight finish, beat
her a head. "Time, 2:49}.

A few pools were sold on the fourth heat at $5 Clara to $2
Harry. They were started at thq second attempt, and Harry,
despite a break on the turn, led a length to the head of the
stretch, when Clara crowded him and he broke badly, Clara
going round the second time five lengths in front, and win-
ning easily in 2:43£.

The third race was for district roadsters. The first heat was
very interesting. Bab got a bad start, not being under way
when the word was given, but Jim counterbalanced it on the
backstretch by breaking badly, and all three passed the stand
the first time on about even terms. Babied up the back-
stretch, but all three breaking on the turn, a hot finish en-
sued, Jim B. winningby a head. Time, 3:19.

In the second heat Jim R. trotted very steadily, and won
easily by six lengths, being in front all the way. Time,

The sis furlongs and repeat was thela&t race of the day. The
6rst heat was run between the fi st and secand of the quar
ter race. There were three starteis. Sagebrush cut out the
work for the first half mile, when Stoneman, who had been
pulling hard, was given his head and cantered home two
lengths in front of Sagebrush, who was a head in advance of
Lucky Dan. Time, 1:22.

Hasty having left the track, there was no one ou hand to
ride Lucky Dan, so he was withdrawn and Stoneman won in
a carter by sis lengths. Time, 1:25$.

The racing on tbe whole was very -enjoyable and the man-
agement are certainly to be congratulated on their enterprise in
starting an association and backing it up with private money,
The towu people particalarly the ladies, patronized the meet-
ing well, but the people from the surrounding country pre-
ferred sitting in their vehicles on the county road to pajiog
half a dollar admission.

Santa Kosa, Petalnma and neighborhood, were represented
by such well knowu men as Judge S. K. Dougherty, Dr.
Findlaw, Messrs. McGraw, Underbill, Hinckle, Misner and
others, while on Saturday, W, Underbill, of Santa Kosa,
brought a coach and four, tilled with passengers to see the
concluding day's fun.

The president and secretary both worked hard for success.
Col. Warfield, the president, is by the way, racing bred, being
one of tbe old Maryland Wartield'sand a nephew of Dr. War-
field, so well known to all Americans as the breeder of Lex-
ington. About four miles from town, the Colonel has a smell
ranch with about forty acres of green alfalfa, some hill land
and a large orchard. Daring the last few years, Mr. War-
field has been gradually collecting a few brood mares and last
Sunday morning I drove out with him and was escorted
round the raooh and shown the mares and colts by the own-
er and Mrs, Warfield. Mrs. Warfield who is a true horse-
woman seemB to take great interest in the colts who are
treated as pets by the household.

Tbere were four trotting brood mares; the first being Dan-
ville Maid, a good looking brown mare bought from the Cook
Farm. She is by Don Juan, dam by Niagara. She is in foal
to Capri; the other three mares were chestnuts, the first of
them a big, strong mare, with good sound legs and feet, is
in foal to .Philosopher, (owned by J. W. Knox). She is by
Bell Alta, dam by General McClellan. Tbe other two are by
Gray McClellan, one being in foal to Capri and the other to
Echu Royal. The four yearlings were a brown filly by
Capri out of the Maid which should trot, judging from the way
she moved round the lot, and three Capri colts all of them
big, strong, sbapely youngsters with plenty of bone and free
from all blemishes. The last of the colts visited was a
ohestnut colt out of the Bell Alta mare and he certainly
looked as much, if not more, like trotting than any previous-
ly seen. A big bulldog and a few game chickens tended to
give a sporting aspect to the place, particularly the latter,
among them being two fine birds, one a big imported jap
called Tom McKay, and the other, Australia, having an anti-
pathy for one another that should be settled soma aiternoon.

There are several other well known people who raise trot-
ting horses in the neighborhood, among them being "Wood
Wattles, who has purchased 140 acres of bottom land about
one and a halt miles below town. Half of it is alfalfa and
nearly all the rest in grain or corn with the exception of a
small orchard. Mr. Wattles has for several years lived up
in Dry Creek where he had his ranch, but on purchasing
nearer town he sold the old place and will move in a few
days. He has on his ranch several choice broodmares and a
6tallion- The latter called Esho Royal, is a big, strong horse,
six years old by Eeho, dam The Booth mare. He Was bought
from F. H. Burke, of Menlo, and has trotted successfully in
several local races. Next year he will probably be sent for a
record.

Among the mares were two, well known in the State.
Sweetbriar 2:26.}, grey mare by Eigene Casserly. dam Pea-
nuts 2:2-1 1 by George M. Patchen Jr. 31. The game old
mare is as fresh as a two-year-old, her feet and legs being as
clean and strong as ever She trotted from 1875 to the end
of 1S77, beating Nutwood, 2:18$, Beautiful Bells,
'2:29*, Lou Whipple, 2:26t, and other well known
performers duriDg her career; her dam Peanuts
or California Damsel as she was called, was also a
we'l known trotter getting a record of 2:24+. Sweetbriar was
bought about two years ago from F. H. Burke, who thought
she was not in foul but late in tbe season she dropped a dark
grey colt by Eros. The colt has been christened Sotoyome. He
is now a yearling, dark grey, with strong, sinewy legp, a good
back and splendid quarters, while his action is almost per-
fect, and next year he will probably be worked on the track.

Young Miami with a bay colt by Anteeo w*re hought last
Spriog from F. Malone, The mare (who is by Pauls Abdal-
lah out of old Miami a thoroughbred daughter of Belmont)
has been bred to Director uod is in foal, while the colt has
grown and thickened nat, being now worth all the money
paid for tbe pair while the old mare Bhould threw to Director
a trotter Bure.

Kate ia a good looking chestnut mare by Fitz James
(brother to Dan Voorheea 887, record 2:23.J) out of CounteBS
(dam of Dawn2:l8:])by Hambeltonian 725. She has a weanling
bay tilty by Echo Royal. A six-year-old black mare was
bought from the Cook Farm. She also has an Echo Royal
weanling. Among others was the black filly by Young Kis-
bar, dam by Altamont; she is three years old and will be
worked next year. When purchased at F. Malone's sale
8he had &d enlarged fo'lock from barbed wire, but it has al-
most all gone and the mare seems perfectly sound. On tbe
Dry Creel; Ranch are several very handsome pedigree Jerseys
and a Holstein bull from Underbill's celebrated herd. In" a
few years we Bhould hear from tbe Wattle's Stock Farm. (I
believe it will be called 'Faivbank' after the late owner) for
neither expense nor labor is being spared by the educated
proprietor in making the new ranch a fitting home for trot-
ting stock and the judgment displayed in selecting the mares
justifies the outlay.

Mr. A J. Zane, the owner of Capri, a gray stallion by Jim
Lick, out of Lady Budd, by Williimition'a Belmont, has sev-
eral good youngsters. Clara Z. is a fonr year old mare by
Capri, dam by A. W. Richmond, granddnm hy Catohem. A
three year old gelding and a two year old stallioD. brothers to
Clara, a yearling and a nuckling colt, both by Capri out of
a mare by A. W. Richmond, dam by Leviathnn. Mr.
Zane, who is an intelligent breeder, has some particularly
good youngsters- grays— and with the Riobmond blood in

them, backed up by a running cross, they should prove in-
valuable. A. W. Richmond stood in Healdsbnrg for a sea- (
sou and a half, and though he only got poor mares as a rule,
all his coha could trot in three to three and a half minutes. ;
One of the best looking Richmond mares is Kitty Richmond, ,
by A. W. Richmond, the property of Harvey W. Peck, the
courteous secretary.

On Sunday afternoon the return journey was made to tbe |
city, and by the time Tiburon was reached the train was full :
of hunters and travellers, who crowded the James M. Dona- [
hue almost to excess, but with the admirable order main- i
tained by the officials and tbe good temper of the people, the !

WIZARDS OF IHE SULKY.

How Noted Keinstnen Secure The Best Work.

An Expert Lays Down tbe Rales lor the guidance of
Be£lnners-"A Good Driver Slakes » Wooil
Horse"— The Old Commodore's Un-
beaten Kccord

I had an interesting chat with Mr. E. C, Walker, "Veritas"
the well known writer on turf matters, some time ago. Mr.
Mr. Walker is not only an educated man and a talented
writer on equine topics, but he is also one of the best driv-
ers in this country, and so when he began to talk on his
favorite topic I was williDg enough to sit back and listen.

Mr, Walker was formerly in the marine insurance business
in Boston, but failing health induced him to settle in South-
ern Michigan, where he bought a few horses and started a
stud and training stable on a moderate scale. He bad always
had a taste for horseflesh, and his new employment pToved
so congenial to him that he said good-bye forever to insurance
matters, and has since then devoted himself to training and
driving horses and writing about Ihem.

"I had always been fond of road driving," said Mr. Walk-
er, "and had been considered a very good driver on the
boulevards, but I had never thought of driving on the track.
I was first drawn into it by seeing that horses, whose train-
ing I had Bnpervissd and which I knew to be capable of
great speed, often came in last in the race, because they were
not properly handled. Then I said to myself: 'Well, I have
never driven for money, but I am sure I can drive better than
that.' So one day I climbed into the sulky and started in a
race. I will admit that I felt considerable trepidation at first,
but I determined instantly to concentrate my thoughts on
the business in hand. So I dismissed all uneasioeBS and
thought of nothing but the best way to get all the speed pos-
sible ont of the horse. I succeeded so well that from that
time I have driven my own horses or those of my friends
whenever occasion offered. You probably heard of my friend
J. F. Dingee'B fast mare, Miss Alice? Well, I got her last
spring, a five-year-old, who had never been in tbe trainer's
hands or on the track. I took hold of her, made a study of
her gait, her disposition and other peculiarities, aDd then
taught her to race. This summer she has started in nine
stake and purse races and has won four of them, besides tak-
ing a large share of the purse money in most of the olhers.
She made a record of 2:201 in the fourth heat of the fourth
race she ever trotted.

"There is an old sayiDg that 'Good horses make good driv-
ers,1 but I think it ought to be 'good diivers make good
horses. ' Some men are born drivers; others achieve distinc-
tion by persistent efforts, and others literally have distinc-
tion thrust upon them by reason of their success with some
particular horse. For example, W. W. Blair was never
prominent as a driver until he took hold of Maud S. He
accustomed himself to her ways, and she to his, and it was
he who gave her the unparalleled record of 2:0EJ.

"Tbe most notable instance of inherited talent with the
reins that I know of is that of the Vanderbilt family. The old
Commodore was a fearless, and indeed almost a reckless
driver, and gained a reputation on Harlem Lane and the up-
town avenues which people talk about lo this day. He was
a master mind, and impressed his individuality on his horses
as well as the men with whom he was brought in contact.
His son, William H., inherited that, as he did other paternal
qualities, in a conservative way, and was, up to the day of
his death, a remarkably good driver. He was particularly
fond of driving two horses, which is an art far more difficult
than that of driving one. It was he who beat the record of
2:15$ made by Maxey Cobb and Neta Medium, to a skeleton
wagon driven by the expert John Murphy. Mr. Vanderbilt
drove Maud S. and Aldine to a top wagon, with his own
weight added, in 2:15i at Fleetwood Park. It ie, in my
judgment, a great achievement thrtt will stand unbeaten for
many a year. Now, there are plenty of rich men in New
York who own fast teams, but there are very few of them-
who possess the Vanderbilt talent for driving them, and in
order to get the best work out of them they have always had
to hire drivers such as Mace and Hickok. One of the chief
reasons for Mr. Vauderbilt's success was that he always
studied the disposition of his horses and let their powers have
full play. He allowed them fo exercise their natural rivalry
to get ahead of one another. In short, William H. Vander-
bilt was a born horseman, and not merely a man who hap-
pened to be rich enough to own fast animals. He would un-
bend more readily with a man who could talk horse well than
he would with any one else.

"I remember bis saying to me once: 'There's very little
use in trying to drive a pair of mismated horses. They are
like other Ill-assorted couples. The Booner thev separate the
better. That's the reason I bought Small Hopes, Leander,
Lyeander, Early Rose, Aldine and others, and tried them all
in pairs until I found two who agreed well together. There
waB Maud S. She did not want to be bothered by her mate
in starting off, and I soon found that Aldine was always
ready to go off with her, and it was that that made them
such agocd team.'

"All of the present generation of Vanderbilts are fond of
horses, but Fred Vacderbilt is the light-harness man of tbe
family. It was he who inherited Early Rose and Aldine and
all the rent of his father's flyers. Maud S , as ynu know, was
sold to Mr. Robert Bonner for a very much smaller 'price
than had been previously offered for the mare. Mr. Vander-
bilt did that because he wished the animal to fall into good
hands, and did not want her hippodromed round the country
Tbat shows that Mr. Vanderbilt regarded Mr. Bonner as" a
lover of the trotting horse, and his judgment was not mis-
placed. Bobprt'e brother, David, is a great authority ou
breeding and all matters relating to horse flesh. Robert has
made a life study of horses from the foot up, and Maud 8
lowered her record twice during his ownership of her. He
has not come before the public as a reinBman, but he has
driven his borseH at his private track in Tarrytown in won-
derfully fast time on many occasions. So aUo have his sons
Alley and Fred. The latter drove Lucy Cnyler at Fleetwood

to a road wagon half a mile in 1:05. Another illustration of
the gift for driving that some men possess, even if tbey are
rich, was given by John Shepard, tbe well known Boston
merchant, who drove bis team, Mill Boy and Blondioe, in
2:22. the fastest mile ever traveled by a team in New England.
Like Commodore Vauderbilt he is well known as a fearless
and even reckless driver. In fact, men of determination are
the only ones who drive well. A timid man should not at-
tempt to diive a pair of ho:ses fast, nor be caught in hot
company with a single one.

"Mr. C. J. Hamlin, of Buffalo, is another man of nerve and
determination who excels in tbe gentlemanly sport of driving
teams. He makes a specialty of breeding trotting horses of
ihe highest cIbbb at hia Village Farm and then trotting them
in public to prove their merits. He enjoys the distinction of
being the only man who has driven a pa'r of horseB of his
own breeding and training in 2:1S, a feat which he accom-
plished with Belle Hamlin and Justima.

"Professional driving is a very different thing from driv-
ing on the road for pleasure. The Woodruffs were an old-
time family of horsemen, and Hiram Woodruff was the chief
exponent of the old schcol of training and driving. His
book, The Trotting Horse of America, is an epitome of old-
time horse lore, and his road-hoaee near Coney Island was.
in ils day, the resort not only of famous horsemen, but o£
notabilities of every degree as well. His brothers, William
and Isaac, also figured prominently as trainers and drivers.
Contemporary with them was William H. Doble, of Phila-
delphia, a horseman of remarkable ability, whose sons, Budd,
Charles and young Willum, were all noted reinsmen, especi-
ally Budd.

"The Maces, Dan and Ben, inherited their wonderful
skill from their father, Daniel Mace, a Boston dealer in and
handler of road and race hor=es. The eon, familiarly known
as Dan Mace, has aptly been termed the 'Wizard of the
Sulky.' Brought up as a boy in the old schcol of training,
he graduated from it and became the greatest exponent of
the present method of handling the trotting horse in the
sulky, to wagon and under saddle. He discarded sweating
under blankets, long and repeated severe trials, and adopted
the more scientific course of building up the horse's strength,
putting him in condit on gradually by moderate work, and
saving his powers for some great race. Driving was with
him a fine art. He could inspire the horse with confidence
from the Btart, thread his way through a large field, and
bring him under the wire a winner with a tremendous rush
at the finish. Another driver of the modern or scientific
school is John Splan, who has been a close student of Mace's
tactics, and has, in my judgment, more of the natural gifts of
a great driver from start to finish than any man living.

"My own system in driving is to enter into complete sym-
pathy with the horse and never call upon him to trot when
he is out of condition, or try to make him do more than he is
able to. In training a horse it is best to have him exercise
moderately every fine day, but once or twice a week is often
enough to drive him at speed. Choose a day that is free
from dampness or piercing winds. Let the horse be sent a
preliminary spin before sending him along, say a half mile,
at his best rate. In speeding against other horses, on road
or t*ack, commonly called 'a bruBh,' see that your horse is
go^g level and true, that he Iibb an eaBy and fair hold of tbe
bit and is on his stride, before asking him to measure paces
with your neighbor's horse. A sudden start and over-
anxiety on the part of driver and horse has a demoral:zing
effect on both, particularly if your friend is id a jubilant
mood and looks back at you tantalizingly. When you range-
alongside your competitor, do not be in too big a hurry to
pass him. Remember that the other man's hcrse may have
nearly as much speed as your own, and the cool head and
steady hand is necesBary at this juncture. Also, when you
pass him do not be in haste to draw away or, as the faying
is. 'make a show of him.1 Imprudent drivers on track and
road often beat themselves by exhausting the power of the
horse, so that he is not able to finish when teckled by the
game horse, driven with judgment and his speed properly
rated. Do not overmatch your horse by persistently trying
to beat a horse that can play with him, and do not speed him
too far. Driving a hofte to a. standstill, or e*sn until he
begins to lose heart and interest in the effort, will surely take
away his speed. This kind of training and driving makes
2:30 horses 'improve backwards' and become 2:40 horses in a
little while.

'Every trotter has his ultimate limit. Nature has destined
some to reach the 2:20 mark, with others she has drawn tbe
line at 2:30, and with a select few 2:10 to 2:15 are the bounds.
Many a horse never reaches his goal of speed because of
improper and severe handling. For example, an impetuous
driver known as a 'bustler,' takes in band a willing young
horse. Both are full of go and overdo themselves. A reac-
tion comes, and nature calls for rest and recuperation, but
more work and faster is demanded. The horse is over-
maich'ed in a race, but the driver does not ^pare him — not he.
'Why, bless you, Mr. Owner,' he says, 'this horse is short of
work, and I'll beat the party with him at the next town.' If
he does it is a heart-breaking race, and improvement stops
for the season — perhaps forever. The 'wait and win' driver
will put his horse in condition gradually, and bring bim
along by easy stages until he is ripe and seasoned to live the
pace against his peers. This is the time to strike and win,
but even then do not force the horse to over-exert himself by
more than one whipping finish. Few mares aud geldings
sbould be subjected to the cutting lash. Now and then the
naturally dull or flagging energies of a stallion must be roused
to action by the whip, bat its continual application iB unwise.
A sharp cut now and then with the dread of more, will brin<*
fortb (he best efforts of the dull horse. The voice and rein
are greater inspirers of increased efforts than tbe whip. As
a hst resort, when all seems to fail, a smart cut and a lifting
at the same time, with a letting go of the horse's head, not
too sudden, will enable you to win by a neck, a head or an
eyelash.

"There's an old fellow named Kyger who came out of the
woods some time ago with a really wonderful mare named
Kit Avery, who has a record of 2:18*, and could lower it if
she were put in decent hands. 'Old Man Kyger, ' as he is
called, is known on every track in the country. He uses his
whip from start to finish, and I've seen him whioping after
the horse had passed under the wire. He's almost spoiled
the mare already, and she'll be completely ruined before long.
Then he'll go back to the woods from which he came."

^ J. L. Ford.

It is a very rare thing for horses afflicted with a disease
that superinduces fever to lie down. They will stand up un-
til nature becomes completely exhausted, and their limbs re-
fuse to sustain them. They have an instinct which teaches
them if they lie down it may be difficulty for them Jo get upon
tbeir feet again. A sick horse because of his evident know-
ledge of his own condition and bis inability to communioate
the symptoms and bad natore of it, commends himself to
human sympathy more than any other animal.

Facirle Coast Blood Horse Association En-
tries.

A week ago yesterday the entries closed for the forthcom-
ing meeting of the Blood Horse Association, and it is with
great pleasure that we announce to our readers that in the
past history of this well known society there has never been
such a large number of horses entered for any one meeting.
It may be as well to state that all the horses now entered are
ready and fit for racing, so that it is extremely probable that
there will be an unusually large nnmber of starters in each
race. Those who are interested shoold preserve this paper,
as it gives also the entries in each of the races to be run on
each day. The first day of the meeting will be next Satur-
day, and we fully expect the fall meeting of 18S9 to eclipse
all the former efforts of the Society.

Yesterday Secretary Culver of the Pacific Coast Blood
Horse Association received the final entries lor the fall meet-
ing of the association, commencing Saturday, November 16,
at the Bay District Track.

As will be seen from the entry list there are none from the
large stables that have been in the East for the racing sea-
Bon, but the large number of entries made in the different
events show that the fall meeting bids fair to be one of the
moat successful ones ever given by the association.

The list as taken from the Secretary's books is as follows:

FIRSf DAY— NOVEMBER 16.

Charley Reed of the Grid ley Herald, was given the medal
a few days ago, commemarative of the fact that he had car-
ried off the championship of the Bntte County Prevaricating
Club. The following is the story he told:

A singular sight was seen on onr streets Tuesday, it being
a horse that travels backward. The animal was bitched to
a light spring wagon, with his head toward the seat, and was
driven by a Chinese vegetable pedler who baB a Email garden
on Feather River in the vicinity of Live Oak. By request of
various parties the heathen made tbe horee trot, and it got
over the ground at about a ten minute gait. Althongh tbe
outfit looked somewhat ridicnlous it answered the pnr|
and the driver apparently had no more trouble managing
critter than do drivers of horses traveling in the usual
ner.

The Ancestry of the Horse-
In this article we will treat of the origin of the modern
horse, the geological history ol which is perhaps better
known than any of onr other animals. Both Huxley and
Marsh have traced ont its origin and descent in great detail,
says E. W. Shnfeldt, M. D., in the Amerioan Field. It has
been ascertained that nearly forty species of horses have
been fonnd in a fossil state, extending all the way from the
earliest eocene to the quaternary. These represent the an-
cestry of existing horses and their allies; the varioos species
of asses and zebras. So that, with this abundant material
before us, the steps in the line of evolution of this animal
can be quite easily traced, and at the same time serve as an
excellent example of what has taken place with many other
animals, which will be touched upon in subsequent papers
of the present series.

Tears ago the relation of the equine mammals to others of
the class puzzled the older zoologists a great deal. In fact
they made nothing of it, and were obliged to place them ina
separate order, to which they gave the name of aolidungula
or monodaotyla.

In later times, the extraordinary fact wbb brought to Ugh*,
through the aid of comparative anatomy aDd the study of
fossil forms, that horses were in their structure nearly rela-
ted to the tapirs and rhinoceroses.

This important advance step wa* largely due to the re-
searches of Culver, who thereupon divided all the ungulates
into two orders, the pachyderms and the ruminants.

The first of these contained a miscellaneous collection of
animals, while the latter held all those mammals which had
their horns and hoofs in pairs, with complex stomachs.no
upper front teeth, and which ruminated. However well this
fitted zoological classification, Professor Owen soon discover-
ed, still later, that it failed to apply to the extinct forms
brought to light through his pale'ontological researches.
From these, this eminent anatomist was obliged to create two
new groups, to contain all the ungulates both existing and
extinct. The first of these two groups he made to contain
the perissodactyh, or the odd-toed animals, of which the
elephant, the rninoceros and the horse are examples, having
five, three aDd one toes, respectively. The second group
was for the arliodactyh, or even toed animals, like all the
ruminants, which, as we know, have two toes, or like the
hog and hippopotamus, where there are four.

The proboscidians, which Professor Owen considered as a
separate order, are now generally taken to be a branch of the
perissodactyls. They are represented by the elephant and
the extinct mastodons and others.

In these days, nowever, paleontology teaches us that both
the perissodactyh and the artiodactyls have sprung from a
common stock; indeed, according to Cope we have two gen-
eralized types, which he has named the amblypoda and the
bunotheria. By differentiation we have coming from the laBt
of these the carnivores, insectivores and the quadrumana and
others; while from the first Darned are derived all the ungu-
lates.

But to return to the ancestry of the horse, as we rind it
recorded by their fossil remains upon the pages of geological
history. The earliest known form is the wonderful little eo-
hippus, discovered by Marsh. This animal, which was no
bigger than a fox, was taken from the lowest strata of the
eocene baam of Green Biver. £.ohippus possessed three per-
fectly developed toes npon each hiudfoot, while each fore-
foot had four, with a rudimentary fifth one. Next in order,
or in the succeeding middle eocene, we find the descendants
of eohippus in the orohippus. an animal of nearly the same
Bize and structure, but with the rudimentary toe (the thumb)
of the forefoot missing. Passing into the lower miocene
we find the descendants of orohippus in tne mesohippus,
where now again, in turn, we tind that the fourth toe of the
forefoot has been reduced to a rudimentary and unservace-
able splint bone. Still higher in the miocene we find an ani-
mal nearly as large as a sheep, the miohippus, wherein we
begin to notice an increase of size in the middle hoof, while
the fourth toe has nearly disappeared, though the others, no
doubt, ooald still be bronght into play, Miohippus was
quite nearly affined to the continental anchithere, an animal
in which the general characteristics of the present horse
eonld be easily discerned. Next in order we find in the up-
p« miocene aud lower pilocene of this country the still
more completely differentiated protohippus, an animal that
Luw has attained to the s)ze of a jackasH. In it the fourth
Bplint bone of either forefoot has entirely disappeared, while
its main reliance now is the middle toe, the outside ones
only comiDg to the ground where it was marshy. Protohip-
pus also had a continental ally in hipparion, a most graceful
and equine like animal, both in point of size and structure.
Passing ioto the pilocene proper we discover the descendants
of these foregoing forms in an animal, which now is but
slightly removed froni_QUT_pregjeJ_faojae^^hLja,

The mid-hoof is now the only one remaining, though the
shrunken side spliot bones clearly point to its ancestry.
Finally, we have in the qnarternary and recent time oar pre-
sent equus the modern horse. Now it must be remembered
that all their other structures were gradually modified pari
passu with these changes in their feet. They are most beau-
tifully exemplified in the entire skull, particularly in the
teeth; in the gradual increase of Bize of the mid-hoof, and
even still more strikingly in the bones of the forearm. Space
will not, of course, permit me to even touch upon so many
particulars.

Lecomte says: "There can be no doubt that if we could
trace the line of descent still further back, we would tind a
perfect five-toed ancestor. From tbe normal number of five,
the toes have been successively dropped, according to a reg-
ular law; h'rBt, the thumb, No. 1; then the little finger, No.
5; then the index, No. 2, and laBt the ring-finger, No. 4; and
the middle finger. No. 3, only remains. Nos. 2 and 4 are,
however, usually dropped together. From the earliest and
most generalized types, therefore, to the present specialized
types, the principal changes have been, "first, from planti-
grade to digitigrade; second, from short-footed digitigrade to
long-footed digitigrade, i. e„ increasing elevation of the heel;
third, from five toes to one in the horse, or two toes in rumi-
nant; and fourth, from simple omnivorous molars to the
complex, herbivorous millstones of the horse and ox."

Now. not only has the horse originated in this country,
bnt no less an animal than the camel, also, and Cope has
traced its descent in very much the same way as Marsh has
done for us in the case of the horse just cited.

Early horses undoubtedly inhabited marshy districts, where
they plodded about in deliberate gait over the soft and yield-
ing surface. Their allies, the existing topirs and rhinocer-
oses, still retain Buch habits, and these animalsyhave altered
but little in their foot structure, or even their general organi-
zation from their relations ot eocene times.

One of the most eminent of anatomists living, Professor
Flower, of the British Museum, truly remarks that "If we
■were not so habituated to the sight of the horse as hardly
ever to consider its structure, we should greatly marvel at
being told of a mammel so strangely constructed that it had
but a single toe on each extremity, on the end of the Dail of
which it walked or galloped. Such a formation is without a
parallel in the vertebrate series, and is one of the most re-
markable instances of specialization or deviation from the
usual type, in accordance with special conditions of life. It
can be demonstrated both by the structure of the foot itself,
and also by an examination of the intermediate forms, that
this toe corresponds to the middle or third of the complete
or pentadactyle foot, the "riDg-finger" of man, and there is
very strong evidence to show that by a gradual concentration
of all the power of the limb upon this toe, and the concur-
rent dwindling away and final disappearance of all the oth-
ers, the present condition of the horse's foot has been pro-
duced."

These were the kind of changes that were undoubtedly
taking place in animals during the immense lapses of geo-
logical times.

Turf Reforms.

Stafford, Kt., Oct. 28, 1889.

Editor Breeder a>~d SpoRTSMAy; — The laBt two issues of
the Live Stock Becord (Lexington, Ky.) have each contained
a well written article on Turf Reform, deploring the system
of racing at present in vogue, and as well pointing tbe evils
and the remedy. The more the matter is agitated the bet-
ter, and the sooner may some good come of it. It could
hardly be amiss for every paper devoted to the interests of
the turf to copy the articles in full and give voice to its own
sentiment on the subject. However, the writer omitted to
say anything as to the power the present system places in the
starter's bands. An opportunity, if availed by the starter, to
destroy the chance of any horse in a race and to enhance the
chance of another. Now, I saw an asBiBtant starter this sea-
son— impecunious and disreputable — go to the ground as-
signed to the carriages of unlortuLate women and get money
from theBe women on the strength of his official position to
back certain horses, promising the women that the horse
backed in each race should have "a send off." Nor was this
all nor even the worst feature. He actually, on more than
one occasion, sent back what he thought dangerous to the
chances of the horse he was backing. He came to the writer
at a meeting last spring aDd inquired if bis horse was good
and liable to win, and when answered affirmatively, replied,
"She shall have a good send off and I'll buy Borne pools on
her." The answer to this was, "I want no advantage, but
would like to have an equal chance at the start; gettiDg that I
can win. But your proposition is badly out of place," Now
he waB followed and watched and he went directly to his
friends lafemme, took their money aod put it on another
horse in the race, and at the startiug post called back the
writer's horse repeatedly and finally got it badly left at the
post; then it ran out a good third. The motive is obvious;
if the horse was thought good it was dangerous, and the ob-
ject of the inquiry was simply, if possible, to destroy its
chances and be more certain to win on his selection and take
out his percentage for his "tip" to the only class of women
he is fit to associate with.

This fall he undertook the same little game on precisely
the same line, bnt in forty-eight hours his offioial head
dropped. Men who race fairly, legitimately aDd properly,
cannot allow their chances to be destroyed by such practices. A.
summer's unremitting care and great expense, if it has devel*
oped a merit, should be rewarded. And the self-denial and
privations endured necessary to that end and the aim accom-
plished should not depend on such men, and horses depreci-
ate in valne — cannot be sold for their real worth when often

Grim'a Gossip.

Lee ShaDer is going to winter at Petalnma with the horses
at present under his charge.

The Helena Fair Association are constructing a new race
track which will be ready (or next year.

The Victoria Jockey Club has arranged for a British Co-
lombia Derby, to be ran in the fall of 1S92.

The Direotors of the Inyo Agricultural Fair baTe voted to
prohibit the ubo of liquors on their erounds.

A squabble among the jookey clabB for available summer
dates nest year seems now absolutely certain.

Walkill Boy 2 -22], a very valuable trotter, the property of
Rosooe Bros, 'of Syracuse, New York, was burned to death
last week.

Dan McCarty purchased a yearling filly at the Chester-
brook sale in New York last week for $250. She is by Bend
or out of imp. Lady Glasgow.

Jack Thompson, of the Hermitage Stud Farm, is on his
way here, and will take back with bim Bow Bells, the Elec-
tioneer Beautiful Bells' two-year-old.

Nine of the get of Happy Medium have gone into the 2:30
list this year. This makes fifty he now has altogether, of
which forty seven are trotters and three pacers.

It is now rumored that Dan McCarty has lost $90,000 on
the track this year. He sorely never dropped that amount
from bis pocket, and I will wager a trifle he did not lose it
any other way.

The scientific horseshoers, Bjyd & Morgan, have removed
from their old establishment on Taylor street, to a tine com-
modious place at 106 Golden Gate Avenue, adjoining Mr.
Crittenden's stable.

James Corcoran, the well-kuown driver who has been train-
ing at the Petalnma track, will winter his horses at the Bay

I bear that Kobert Brown, of San Antonio, has lately lost
several hornes which he thiDks have be'en stolen. Among
them was a black mare by Sultan, that cost him §1,200, and
she had been bred to Director, which added another $150 to
her value.

Ed Bither, the well known trainer and driver for J. I. Case
of Racine, Wis , arrived here Thursday, having in charge the
celebrated Btallion Phallas,2:13J. The horae will be wintered
iu California, and may be started to beat his record prior to
being sent back.

The price of stallion service for Guy Wilkes, 2:15J, will be
$500, for 1890, aDd only a few choice and approved mares
will be taken at that figure. Sable Wilkes will stand at a
ite of $250. and several young Wilkes' will also be in service
at fees of $100 and upwards.

Some of the horseman who are stabling at the Petalnma
track are agitating the question, whether it would be profita-
ble to build a rain shed so that the horses might be exercised
on dry ground during the winter months. The idea is a good
une and would be of great service.

Last Saturday the Sonoma and Marin Agricultural Associa-
tion held a meeting to elect Direotors for the ensuing year.
The fallowing were the succesBfal candidates: J. H. White,
Bobert Brown, Robert Crane, Harry Meecham, A, L. Whit-
ney, A. Higgins and T. C. Putnam.

Jack Hammond is said to have won £60,000 on Laureate,
who won the Cambridgeshire handicap. It is not long since
he was only a stable bund, but luck took a turn and he got
hold of a few cheap horaes, and Florence and St. Gatien
Boon put him on top, and he has never looked baok since.

A horBe died at Brockton, Mass., in a very peculiar man-

to a carriage, near the grand-stand, and in some manner the
bit broke iu his mouth. The animal coald not get it out of
his throat, iDto which it had Blippcd, and he choked to
death.

The rumors that John Morris intended to make some very
great changes in the grade of Morris Park were denied by
Mr. Morris at the St. James Hotel laBt week. He declared
it was not his intention to make the slightest change in the
grade. He did intend to make some improvements that
would aid the judges, and to build a club house, as originally
intended.

W. H. Allen E«„ of PittBheld, Mass, and St. Louis, Mo.,
has been paying a visit to the breeding farm* of the state and
also to take a look at the seven mares and fillies which he
brought from Wm. Corbitt last spring at a oost of $60,000.
He is particularly well pleased with his purchases although
they were taken unsight unseen, and he will ship them East
in a few days.

suckling fillv, by "Wilkes Boy, dam by Young Jim; second
dam by Mambrino Patchen. Price $2,000.

Mr. C. W. Smith is entitled to the thanks of the reporters
for coming up into the stand after each heat and giving the
time by quarters. It saves a lot of running down the steps,
and prevents annoyance to the timers.

Chitabob, by Robert the Devil, out of Jenny Howlett by

breeders who reside in Sonoma County. He is by Alexander
490 (son of Geo. M. Patchen Jr. 31), dam Gazelle by Gen
McCiellan 144. We find here Btrocg speed producing lines,
and it will be strange if Mr. Unokless does Dot fill the book
very early next season.

Mr. Thomas Rochford, former owner of Emma Temple,
2:21, has Bent his string of horses down to Fresno, where
they will pass the winter months. John Haho will have

In Switzerland there were used in 1888-89 eighty stallions,
which covered altogether 3.5S3 mareB; of these 3,146 brought
foals, i. e., per stallion, forty five mares, out of which thirty-
nine foaled. In 1887-83 eighty-eight stallions covered 4,469
mareB, of which 3,755 foaled. So that there is this year a
decrease of 20 per cent, of mares covered. Most of the
Switzerland horses are Anglo-Norman.

Mr. James Franklin, KenneBaw Stud, Gallatin, Tenn., lost
on October 22d the noted sire imp. Glengarry, brown hor&e,

A prominent horseman, who has just returned from Ken-
tucky to New York, announcts that the president of the
National Trotting Association Bays his association will inves-
tigate the rumors regarding the crookedness of the Balcb
$10,000 national stallion race, trotted at Beacon Park last
month, and won by Nelson. The rumors that Alcryon did
not try in this race have been gathering force, and his driver
George Robins, has since been fined $500 dollars for pulling
Roy Wilkes.

J. B. Chase has sold through Messrs. Killip & Co., to Mr.
Ariel Lathrop, the chestnut mare Katy Pease by Planet, dam
Minnie ManstieJd by imp Gleneoe out of Argeutile, by Ber-

was bred by D. McDaniel and sold to Judge Mee and after-
wards to Mr Chase. She has had several foala, the best of
them being Judge McKinstry, Lurline and Mischief. The
old mare herself was one of Culifornias old favorites, being
this year almost invincible at any distance. ThiB year she
was bred to F. Gobhardt's Greenback. She will probably be
Btinted to Palo Alto next season.

The Exeontive Committee of the Coney Island Jookey
Club, at a meeting held yeBterday afternoon, deoided to be-
gin its raoe meeting for 1890 on Tuesday, June 17, on which
day the Snburban Handicap will be ron. The meeting will
be continued to Wednesday, July 2, on which day the Real-
ization Stakes, for three-year-oldB, will be ran. Saturday,
August 30, has been fixed upon as the opening day for the
Autnmn meeting, and on that day the Fntnritv, for two-year
olds, worth about $10,000, will be run. The "Autumn meet-
ing will continue up to and including Saturday, September
1 3 th.

Gentlemen who go into the judges' stand should be well
up in everything that pertains to the sport, and at the same
time should have firmness enough not to listen to all the
talk which the man with one five dollar pool ticket is only
too willing to cairy.

The champion Canadian three-year-old is the chestnut
filly Albani, which got a record uf 2:29} in a fourth heat
recently, and lowered the Canadian record for the age by
nine seconds. She was got by Hermit, a son of Harold, out
of an American Clay mare, and her dam has not a single
standard oross in her pedigree. Hermit, the sire of this
filly, is but six years old, and made a pacing record of 229}
this season.

Many improvements will probably be made at Washington
Park track before the summer meeting of 1890. The betting
qaarters are to be enlarged to nearly double their present
size, which will prove a highly appreciated change. Secre-
tary Brewster has submitted to the Executive Committee
plans for a chute on which to ran the three-quarter mile
dashes, as well as plans for an improved saddling paddock.
The committee will take action on thtse matters at its next
meeting.

The record which Williard M , the famous pacer, by Mam-
brino Smuggler, made on the grand circuit this year is
something wonderful. He lowered his record to 2:14 at
Terre Haute, having gone Bix heats better than :18. Last
week at Lexington he went against some of the best horses
in the United States, winning second money and making the
best average time, twelve heats within eight days, that was
ever made by a horbe in harness, either trotting or pacing.
Williard M. is a Decatur county bred horse, and it looks as
if he is going to be a world heater. He has made a national
reputation for his Bire and Decatur county bred stock. —

Some weeks ago I hinted that there was a strong probabili-
ty that Knap McCarthy woold leave the ranks of the trotting
horse men and cast Mb lot with the thoroughbreds. The predic-
tion has come to pass, for Mr. D. D. Withers, of Brookdale
Farm, has secured Knap's services as trainer, and on next
Mondey the old-time driver wili a^same command of the
runners. McCarthy was taught his baseness by that
prinue of reinsmen, Dan Mace, and that he was a worthy
pupil of a great teacher his long and brilliant career on the
track has amply proved. Daring the eleven yearB that Mc-
Carthy has been a trainer and driver he has trained and
driven a large number of trotters to records below 2:20, and
his success with the pacers has been simply wonderful ' His
first grand coup was with Little Brown Jag, an J he drove the
invincible pacing wonder in all his great engagements, in-
cluding his champion three heats? of 2:11£, 2:1 1 J, 2:12J. He
also drove Flora Belle in 2.13J, Gem in 2:15*. Sorrel Dan in
2:151, 8ir Archie in 2.16J, Doctor M. in 2:15."

Among the trotters which be las Bteered to victory and
given records may be mentioned Fanny Witherspoon, 2:17J;
Miunie R., 2:19£; BoneBetter, 2:19§; Silverton, 2:20J; Zje B
2:17ij Belle F, 2:15*; Von Arnim, 2:19*. and Geneva S '

The current number of the Horseman has the following:
Monroe Salisbury's car will leave Chicago to-day (Thurs-
day) for the Pacific Slope with a lot of valuable horses on
board. Margaret S , the great three-year-old filly by Direc-
tor, returns home to Pleasanton crowned with her rich
Cleveland victory, and she has for company three richly-
bred brood mares belonging to Governor Stanford, proprie-
tor of celebrated Palo Alto. In the same car is the world-
renowned trottiog stallion Phallaa, 2:13$, and two others
from Hickory Grove Farm, Mr. Case haviDg decided to try
the effect of the Pacific Coast atmosphere on hi* famous
horse. The great Chicago-owned pacing stallion Roy Wilkes,
2:12$, also has quarters assigned him in the car for a trip
over the Rockies, where it is believed the speed-evolving at-
mosphere will enable him to materially reduce his present
record. Mr. Wheeler, of Chicago, sends aloDg two choice
fillies to be bred. Mr. Salisbury will return home without
his brood mare Echora (dam of Direct), as he has entered
her, as well as a fast mare by Princeps and three choicely-
bred youngsters in the combination horse sale now in pro-
gress in Chicago. The car-load arrived in Oakland all safe
on Wednesday last.

When the Chinese lodge of Masons was established upon
South Clark St., some time ago, says the Chicago Herald,
the Chinamen sought recognition from the high Masons of
Chicago and made several of them members of the local Chin-
ese lodge. The first name proposed for honorary member-
ship was that of Joe Day, the tailor, and it eameabout in this
way: When the idea of taking in a Chicago Mason waB first
proposed the Chinese members of the lodge were asked to
propose a friend they could trust. One of them, who at-
tends the Y. M. C. A. Chinese Sunday-schocl, happened to
think of the popular hymn, "Some Day," and this re-
minded him of Joe Day. Accordingly Joe waB proposed, and
he was taken in. He had to be given a name, however, and.
as the Moy family is in the majority, he was designated as
Hoy Moy Day. In this new departure Mr. Day has the en--
dorsernent of such well known CeleBtials as Vio Gow, Tom
Cur, Aroh Win, Sam Free, Humph Mon, John Ham, Home
Pot, Har Mil, Sam Park and Jack Pot. Mr. Day does not
expect to ca'ch the Chinese trade on thii election, as his
present facilities will not allow bim to fit Chinamen. At
the same time he is fully conscious of the honor of belonging
to the local Chinese lodge in masonry.

There was quite a fair crowd of turfmen at Agricultural
Park yesterday to witness the trot for tbe Saoramento year-
ling stake of 1889, open to all foals of 1888 owned in the
counties of Sacramento, San Joaquin, Amador, El Dorado,
Placer, Nevada, Sutter, Yuba, Butte, Lassen, Shasta, Colusa
and Yolo, says the Sacramento Record Union. The oondit-
tions were— $75 entranoe, of which $10 most accompany
nomination; $15 to be paid May 1, 1SS9- $25 August 1,
1SS9, and $25 ou the 8iturday before the raoe; to be trotted
in Sacramento the first Monday in November, 1S89, good
day and track. Half mile heats, best two in three. First
colt to receive 50 per cent , second colt 30 per cent., and the
third colt 20 per cent, of atake.

Quite a large number of entries were made, several of
which fell out when the second payments fell doe, and only
two came to the scratch onjtbe final payment. These were
Hugh CaBey'Bfllly, Fanny C, by Fallis (he by Electioneer),
her dam being out of a Reno and St. Clair mare and W.
Gardner's celt.

The former won in straight heats, taking first and third
moneys. The time was not taken, but the filly showed her-
self to be a very promising youngster.

LOS ANGELES.

THURSDAY.

The track was good, the weather splendid, and the attend-
ance fair upon the fourth day of the meeting. The card was
the Bame as upon the previous days, one trotting and two
running races. The first event was the
2:35 Class— Trot.

The starters were Leon Rose's b g Richmond Jr., II. E.
Ryan's s m Addie E. and J. B Kennedy's b g Danger. In
the pool-box Richmond was a hot favorite, going at $60,
Addie E. selling for $27 and Danger for $6. The money on
Richmond was almost a sure thing.

first Heat— They were sent away to a good start. Rich-
mond broke as they entered the first turn, and when he set-
tled, Danger was four lengths from him, with Addie E. at
his wheel. There was do relative change in the positions
until they got into the straight, when Richmond made one
of his hursts of speed and gotup on even terms with Danger,
forcing him several times to a break and finishing head and
head with him Richmond was given the heat, Danger sec-
ond. Tims, 2:2Si.

Second Heal— Richmond was going in the pools at $25 to
* $6 for Addie E. and $2 for Danger. A he id and heid go
sent them into the turn together, but Richmond lost his feet.
Danger and Addie E. got to the quarter together, with Rich-
mond three open lengths away from them In this order
they trotted to the head of the straight; then Maben shook
Richmond np, aud he began to cut out the daylight, passing
Addie E. and collaring Danger at the distance post and tak-
ing the heat by a leng'h. Addie E. getting in second and
Danger third. Time, 1.26\.

Third Heat— Richmond went down several notches in pop-
ular favor in the third heat. He did not get off well, and
broke in the turn. Addie E. did the same thing, and Danger
made several skip3, but when tbey reachei the quarter,
Danger was first, Addie E. second and Richmond third, four
lengths apart. In this order they reached the upper turn,
where Richmond again went off his feet, and lost too much
ground ever to recover. Danger trotted in three lenglhs
winner, Addie E second and Richmond third. Time, 2:26i.

Fourth Heat — If Mayben threw the third heat in order to
make the betting better, he failed. Richmond sold steadily
at $20 against S6 for the whole field and the field went beg-
ging. The heat was a repetition of the first and second.
Danger leading, with Addie E in second place and Richmond
last.° Richmond began his work on the baokstretch, passing
Addie E and crawling up to Danger, cutting him down at the
middle of the second turn. From there home he had it all
bis own w<y, finishing first by three lengths. Danger second.
Time, 2:26 J.

course favorite, selling at $30 to $10 for the field, but he had
a race that he will remember. Both he and Steve Stroud
acted badly at the post and delayed the start for a long lime.
One breakaway was made and Ste^e Stroudjamped the fence.
When he was in his place again the starter sent them off
scattered, giving Gambo the best of it by three lengths. He
went off with a rash and Pliny, Rose Meade and King David
were head and head after him, Steve Stroad two lengths in
the rear. Pliny began his running at the middle of the turn
and started for Gambo. Down the straight they were both
under the whip and stretched out. Slowly, Pliny closed the
gap and under the hardest kind of a drive, collared Gambo
and snatched the race by a neck in 1:02$. Rose Meade ran

third.

race for Mikado, and Four Aces was not in it at all, quitting
on the backBtretcb at the end of the mile. McGinnis ran well
up to Mikado until they reached the head of the straight in
the home run and then Mikado had it all to himself, winning

FRIDAY,

More day's races, more people, is the rule with the Los
Angeles public, aud as the days go by the attendance and the
entbusiasm increase. The track is steadily growing better,
and to-day is fit for any time. Friday's eveuts were not up
to the average of the other days, but whatever was lacking in
them was made up by the additional attractions of a ladies'
equestrian tournament and a polo match. The first raoing

event was the

2:50 Class Trot.

Five start- rs faced the flag in the above event, C. A. Dur-
fte's b h Raymond, John F. Dodaon'B b m Dutchess, J. B.
Denman's b g Victor. J. D. Dunn's s m Orphan Girl, and L.
J Felton's br s Othello. Before the first beat Dutchess was
fM' vorite, selling in the pools at $20, Raymond going at $5
ami the field at $3. . . . „ ,

First Heal— Dutchess broke in the nrst turn and tb.p entire
crowd pa a d h>r, Raymond in fxcnl of tlem. They never
headed him, and he took the heat easy in 2:27±, Otuoilo sec-
ond Victor inird, Orphan Girl fourth and-DutcheBs fifth.

Second Heal—The talent *egan to hedge ontat a lively
rata and B •ymond was mad* favor te at S30 agai si the
whole falls §13. -It was goo moot 7 then. H-j got away
in front and opened a gap of four lengths. Dutchess began
to olo^e the gap on the baefcstretch, and entering the second
turn wag on even teems with him, bat she broke and again

the crowd passed her. Richmond had it all to himself from
there home and won as he pleased. Dutchess settled down
and came home at about a twenty gait, finishing second
three lengths from Raymond, Victor third, Orphan Girl
fourth and Othello fifth. Time 2:30.

Third Heat —The third heat and the race were taken by
Richmond, Dutchess, who was really his only competitor
in the race, broke when entering the turn. Richmond went
on in front, attended by Othello. Dutchess began to play for
the leaders on the backstretch, and at the head of the straight
was within three lengths of them, with a fair chance of win-
ning, but she broke again andRaymoDd got home first, mak-
ing a dozen runs in the mile. Dutchess finished Becond,
Othello third, Victor fourth, and Orphan Girl fifth. Time
2:31.

in it but two starters — Harry Rose's b h Dan Murphy, 118,
and P. C Donalech's ch g Naicho B, 115. In the pool boxes
Murphy was a hot favorite at $25 to $7. The judges sus-
pected something and took down Cook, who was to ride Nai-
cho B, and put up West. Naioho B wa3 stiff, too stiff for a
race, and he was never in it: Murphy jumped away in the
lead and ran the distance a length in front of Naicho B with-
out getting the whip. Naicho B qnit at the head of tho

SATURDAY.

Ou Saturday, November 2d, a very successful race meeting
oame to a close. The events of the week were not up to the
standard. The circuit has seen better, especially among the
trotters, but there was honest, square racing, and people like
to see that, even thongh the horses are not the fastest in the
world. The runners have received the lion's share of atten-
tion, and they have furnished some good sport, with not a
few surprises, some of the local horses going faster than a
well informed public thought they could. Saturday's sport
began with a mixed trotting and pacing special, Silkwood, a
pacer, going to a cart.

Special Mixed Race.

The starters were J. B. Kennedy's b g Danger, N. A. Covar-
rubias'blk g Nieger Baby, "W. P. Johnson's r g Phil Frieler
(pacer), and J. "Willelt's blk h Silkwood (pacer to cart). Silk-
wood sold in the pools for $20, Danger going at $18 and the
field at $3.

First Heat—PhW Frieler got away from the score at a clip-
ping gait, and going around the turn put himself four lengths
in front. Danger and Silkwood came wheel to wheel in sec-
ond place, and Nigger Baby four lengths to the bad. The
positions were hardly changed. In the straight both Silk-
wood and Danger made desperate efforts to catch Frieler, but
he was too fleet, and beat them oat by three lengths, Silk-
wood getting second place by a nack, Danger third, Nigger
Baby fourth. Tim*>, 2:26}.

Second Heat — Danger suddenly jumped into favor. The
crowd thought it all up with Silkwood, and that Frieler
couldn't go another fast mile, and so Danger was picked as
the final winner, the talent buying him at $20 to $ IS for Silk-
wood aud $3 for the field. Frielerwas again to the fore, but
this time he was attended by Silkwood, Danger trotting two
lengths behind them and Nigger Baby trailing. Frieler man-
aged to stay in front until he got into the straight, but he
was tired and the pace was too fast. He went off his feet in
a bad break, and Silkwood passed him, followed by Danger.
Silkwood came home easy and finished strong in 2:25\,
Danger two lengths back. Frieler third.

Third Heat — Very little bettiDg was done, a few pools
going at $30 for Silkwood, $10 for Danger and $4 for the
beld. The race was already over. Silkwood look the lead
on the torn, attended by Danger. Phil Frieler broke as he
entered the turn and rfas never heard from again Danger
hung on to Silkwood's wheel all the way, making a run every
few yards. Silkwood paced home without a break, finishing
first by hBlf a length. Danger second. Phil Frieler a poor
third and Nigger Baby fourth. Time, 2:26

Fourth Heat— The fourth heat was an exact repetition of
the third, except that the finish between Danger and Silkwood
was closer. Siikwood was in the lead ell the way to the
middle of the straight, and then Danger collared him, but at

the finish Silkwood drew away under the whip and won by a
neck, Nigger Baby third, Phil Frieler fourth. Time, 2:31*.

The Fish Commission-

Labor Commissioner ToMd's office at 220 Salter street, was
filled on Tae9day afternoon last by Deputy Fish Commis-
sioners, and persona interested in tbe work of the Fish
Commission. Both President Rentier and Mr. Harvey were
present and a great volume of business was dispatched with
a oelerity clearness and accuracy which was most gratifying.
After approval of the minutes Secretary Harvey read the
reports of Deputies Callundan, Woodbury, and Anaya. for
the month of October. The report of Mr, Callundan was
published in this paper last week. Mr. Woodbury who ha*
in charge the Lake Tahoe hatchery reported that from
1000 000 to 1,200.000 trout had been planted in Lake Tahoe
and in the headwaters of tbe American River and at Gil-
mVres Springs. New houses have been built for the quar-
ters of the men employed at the hatchery, and everything
at Tahoe is now in first-clas*. condition for them to resume
their future work. A flume has been built from the springs
bo as to carry cold water into the hatcnery at Lake Tahoe.

The report further stated that a large quantity of black
basshad been shipped from the Spring Valley Water Works
a?San Mateo to Oroville, and three loads of btaok bass
were shipped to Clear Lake. Lake County. Deputy Wood-
bury also reported that nearly a million of salmon eggs have
been received at Sissons at the new State hatchery from the
UnUed S^tes hatchery on the McClond River. These eggs
have all hatched out and are in the best condition at the

PreThetannmual consignment of salmon eggs from the Govern-
ment is expected by the last of December, out of the fall or
second run of salmon. The eggs will be received from the
McCloud River batohery, and according to the jadgment of
the deputy, it will take until March to distribute them up
and down the Saoramento River.

Deputy Woodbury will go in a few days to the Klamath
River to lookup a suitable location where he can start a
small temporary hatchery. He expects to derive from this
from one to two million eggs. As soon as the egg* are ob-
tained and are in condition to be shipped, they will be pack-
ed in moss and sent to the hatchery at Sissons to be hatched
out aud from there they will be distributed throughout the
Sacramento fctiver and its branches, and also in the streams
around San Francisco Bay.

Deputy Frank Anaya of Modesto reported that he had
patrolled all the streams in his district, and had destroyed all
of the fish traps he had discovered. A thorough investiga-
tion by tbe deputy showed that there was at the present
time no more fish-trapping going on in Stanislaus County.

A plan for fish ladders which was received and adopted at
the last meeting by the Commissioners, and which waB not
spread on the minutes, was ordered placed thereon in order
to set aside any doubt that might arise as to the legality of

Mr M* A. Wheaton appeared before the Board and asked
for instructions as to how he should build his fish ways on
the Tuolumne River. He had been arrested on one occasion
for not conforming to the law, and rather than be again
brought into trouble he would arrange his tish ways accord-
ing to the Commission's orders. He was given the neces-
sary instructions, and stated that he would immediately
begin work in building a way that will conform to the State

The Secretary of the California State Sportsman's Associa-
tion reported the aotion of the association at its recent
meeting relative to the request of the Commission for infor-
mation about what game birds were best suited for introduc-
tion to this State. The birds recommended were the Colin
or Virginia Bob White, tbe prairie chicken or pinnated
grouse, the Australian quail and the wild turkey.

The Secretary was requested to correspond with gentle-
men living in parts of the country in which Bob Whites
abound and where they might be purchased.

Bills aggregating $1,415 were audited, and the Board then
went into executive session.

From the Yreka Journal.

An influential and excellent exchange is the Yreka Journal,
published in the very heart of the country from which come
most of the deer hides, both those of buckB and those of
doea and fawns. The Journal in its last issue has these
notes, whiob cannot but serve a good purpose in awakening
the citizenB of Mendocino to an appreciation of the outrage-
ous wrougs perpetrated by the hide hunters. The Journal
sayB;

Tbe President of the Btate Board of Game and Fish Com-
missioners, who was here last week, accompanied by Deputy
Commissioner Bogart, viBited the Klamath River dam at
Klamath City, and found the Lumber Company of that place
anxious and willing to do everything possible for the free run
uf the migratory tish. and arrangements have been made for
successfully accomplishing that purpose. There are to be two
shutes, about 30 feet in length, one on each side of the
river, at the end of which will be un apron about 18 feet
wide, to make a good riffle over which the fiah can make a
straight run up to and through the shutes from the dam,
causing no more dithonlty for the fish to pass than through
the rapids in the streams at many points below and above
the dam. The Commissioner also promises to supply 60,000
rainbow or Dolly Varden trout for stocking Shasta River,
and send a man with them, provided the supervisors have
the ditches on that stream bo screened as to prevent their
extermination, a new style of screen being proposed that
will be beneficial to ditoh men and need no attention in keep-
ing clear of drift. In two years the river will be full of this
delicioQS food, fish weighing a couple of pounds each, aud it
is claimed they always remain in the stream in which they
are placed and hatched. Mo also advises that no cattish or
rook bass be introduced as they will destroy the trout, al-
though there are a few catfish in the sloughs now, their in-
troduction some yearn ago not having been a huccbb*, as
their natnral home is in mud and muddy water. The 8tat<:<
Commissioner aUo examined tbe bides seized last week,
some 1,500 in number, finding plenty of does' bides, and
even tbe skins of spotted fawns. They were purchased and
paid for by a Ban Francisco tirm, who will be amenable to
the game law.

And adds editorially:

Either the fish and game laws ought to be repealed, or else
those who violate them should be punished. If law-abiding
citizens respect the laws, those who refuse to do ao Bhonld

not have free license to do as they please in regard to killiog

game and catching fish at times prohibited °y law. No
blame can be attached to the officers in performing her du-
ties, as the law compels them to act, or else violate their ob-
ligations.

A correspondent of the paper writes:

The recent aotion of Deputy Fish Commissioner Bogart in
seizing a lot of deer skins, on their way to the San Francis-
co market, should meet with the hearty approval and sup-
port of all good citizens. For years our statute books have
been burdened with a lot of laws for the protection of game,
especially deer, which have been entirely useless, as it has
been impossible to enforce them. As a consequence, deer
the most noble game animal in the State, have been almost
entirelv obliterated from our mountains Hide hunters
have been reaping a rich harvest, defying the law and the
commuuity generally. Two years ago last winter the Legis-
lature amended our game laws, and for the first time we
have something on our statutes in this line which is of Borne
value. It is only recently, however, that any attempt seems
to have been made to enforce this provision, and we sincere-
ly hope that no effort will be spared to enforce the only law
that oar legislature has ever pessed, for the protection of
game, that has been of any value.

A Winter's Sport in Florida.

By O. A. Mygatt.
Tom and I were sitting by a cheerful fire, silently Bmok-
ine. No remark had been made for some time, says
A.~ O. Mvgatt in Outing for November. Suddenly I was
startled bv the following sentiment, uttered with gi eat feel-
ing: '"'New'York begins to bore me like thunder!" "Well,"
said I, "if New York bores you there are two courseB open
for yo'o— either go Bhoot yourself or go to Florida and shoot
something else." Tom was a bit brightened at the sugges-
tion. "Right you are, old boy!" Florida is the place, but
no shooting trip; let it be fishing, pure and simple. Besides,
you know, it doesn't pay very well to take a gun to Florida
nowadays. What do you say to skipping from thiB civilized
metropolis on Saturday?" "Saturday suits me," I answered.
Saturday at midnight we boarded the Jacksouville express,
rods in hand, and with a goodly supply of tackle in our
trunks. Tuesday Baw us at Bockledge, on the Indian Kiver,
bargaining for a sailboat and two rowboata. The same after-
noon, having laid in a large stock of provisions, hour, eggs
and canned goods, we started down the lagoon. For a skip-
per we had the genial, well-posted McGruger, while dusky,
good-natured Peter acted as cook and aide-de-camp.

It was a beautiful Florida winter's day, warm, but pleas-
ant. As Tom and I lay on the cabin roof smoking our pipes
and the boat glided along, we mutaliy congratulated ourselves
on the change from New York, with its snow and slush, its
unhallowed but civilized deliRhts, to our present enjoyment
of floating along, caring not whither we went. Next day we
arrived at the Indian River Inlet. Here I had often found
good fishing on former trips, so we decided to put in several
days at channel bass. During the first of these, owing to a
cold north wind, the fishing was poor, but the fourth day the
wind went south and the weather became warm. Tom, dis-
gusted with our poor luck, refused to move from the sail-
boat, so, taking a boal, I left him to row up one of the chan-
nels that run from the inlet to the Indian Kiver. I stopped
at a large deep pond caused by a sudden curve in the creek.
Putting on a ttpoon bait I cast it astern, then letting tbe rod
down so that my feet controlled the handle of the reel I pro-
ceeded to lay around, letting out line when I thought neces-
sary. I have always had a mania for fishing entirely alone
whenever I could, and have found that with practice, calling
to my aid traits of forgotten ancestors, and uting my feet as
well as my hands, I conld do very good trolling by myself. I
had rowed barely half a minute and not thirty feet of line had
run out, when there was a sudden jerk and the reel buzzed.
Dropping the oars I seized the rod, and then lollowed fifteeD
minuies of such pleasure as only a fisherman can fee).

At the end of this time I had brought tbe bass alongside
the boat and gaffed him. On weighing him on my scales he
pulled beyonu the twelve-pound notch. Casting him in the
bow I began again to fish. "Within two minutes I had another
one, and once more I was in the seventh heaven of a fisher-
man's delight, playing my catch. The day turned out to be
a red-letter one. For tour hours, until full tide, my good
luck continued. At five o'clock I started to row back tu the
sailboat to get my well-eBrned, but, unfortunately, canned
dinner. Nineteen channel bass lay in the boat, glittering
proofs of a great day's Bport. Tne lightest weighed sis
pounds, the heaviest Bixteen; the total weight being some-
thing over three hundred pounds. As I went back I passed
two sailboats whose occupantB had been fishing at the inlet.
Their surprise, not to say disgusted, faces when they saw my
catch gave me moBt excessive joy. Tom, whom I found
reading where I left him, was dumfounded. Only for a
moment, however, and then he gave me the full benefit of
his opinion of my luck in a style or oratory so eloquent that
DemostheneB might have envied him bad it not been fre-
quently emphasized with profanity. Soveral more fair days'
Dshing followed, aud then as the sandflies became too atten-
tive, we Btarted for Jupiter Inlet, some forty miles below.
When off the mouth of St. Lucie River, however, Tom pro-
posed that we should Bail as far up the river as we could to
see what was there, as he put it. Having heard that the
river was most beautiful, and that fresh-water bass were
plentiful, I offered no objection, so our course was altered
and set for St. Lucie River.

After the first few miles the river, which was broad, with
pine woods on each side, narrowed down to a couple of feet
iu width. The banks grew lower and were covered with
palm trees, live oaks intermingled with other trees forming a
back-grouud. The water grew deep and of a transparent
dark-brown tint, becoming almost black in places. Lily pads
covered the whole surtaue at times; then the water was hid-
den by a mass of bright yellow flowers. Kingfishes darted
about, with their harsh, exasperating cry. Now a white
crane slowly crussed the glassy surface, its reflection as dear
as the bird itself. Then a large silver-gray heron, suddenly
startled, would rise slowly aud majestically and' disappear
around the curve of the stream. Smu'l bright-blue und car-
dinal-red birds darted in aud out among the trees, while now
and theu pairs of wood ducks, rising suddenly from many a
little pass, would for a muraeut show their biilliant metallic
colore, as, like pieces of jewelry, they flashed in the sunlight.
Tbe whole sceno was reul enchanting. No thought of shoot-
ing or fishing entered the mind. EUher seemed out of place
in such a paradise. For three days we roamed up aud down
therivtr, paddling up side oreeks, reading, dreaming, smok-
ing, and thoroughly enjoying the beautiful scenery. But
Boon the spirit of the tishernjan awoke in us once more, and,
tearing ourselves away from our fascinating surroundings,
we sailed for. Jupiter Inlet. The trip was uueventfnl.

While passiog through Jupiter Narrows wo caught a dozen
or so of sea trout, trolling with a phantom minnow. The sea

trout cooked in brandy and washed down with true old
English Baas makes a delicious meal. On arriving at Jupiter
we inquired as to the fishing there that year. The light-
house keeper informed us that but few parties had been there
eo far, and that the fishing was poor. This we found to be
true enough, as only a few stray bluefish aDd channel bass
rewarded our efforts.

An old cracker from the upper part of Jupiter Creek luckily
turned up a few days after our arrival, and, as we had found
out from experience that something was always to be learned
from the oldest inhabitant, we entered into conversation with
him on the subject of fishing. To our delight he assured us
tbat he bad seen hundreds of tarpon up the creek, that they
followed hiB boat like Bheep, and that they would snap at
a piece of rope trolling in the water. We made up our minds
that he embroidered well, even if the whole fahiic was not a
pigantic lie, but determined to investigate the matter never-
theless. We questioned him as to how many miles up the
creek he bad seen tbe most tarpon. Nest day found our
sailboat tied to a pine tre6 about a mile below the Bpot
described. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon when
we reached our anchorage or treeage, but Tom and I deter-
mined to take a row up the creek and see whether the craoker
had been greening us or not. So, taking one rod along for
any stray chances that might turn up, we Btarted. I rowed
around several curves, Tom recliniDg in the stern, when I
saw hiB face suddenly illominated with the most angelic
expression, while his lips parted in a rapturous smile.

"Great Cesar's ghost! just look at that!" he cried, pointing
behind him. DroppiDg my oars, I looked around. A stretch
of about a hundred yardB lay before me, the water smooth as
glass, the slaming rays of the setting sun touching only one
side of the creek. In this stretch of watersome fifty to sixty
fish were rolling about like porpoises, but the silver glitter
and the large scales visible on the nearer ones made me cry
out at once, "Tarpon, by Jove!" They wei« (be first we had
ever seen, so our excitement may be well imagined. Sud-
denly one rose wilhin twenty yards of the boat, and, makiDg
a beautiful curve, showed almost his whole side and disap-
peared. I took the rod, and putting on a large bone squib,
caBt it far out, drawing the squib rapidly back over the sur-
face of the water, winning swiftly on my reel.

Two or three times I cast, and suddenly there was a swirl
and a splash. A large tarpon had dashed at the squib and
missed it. Time after time this was repeated, sometimes two
or three following it right up to the boat, but evidently with-
out trying to seize the bait. It was most exasperating. Here
we were Burrounded by these large and beautiful fish, who
seemed entirely bent on tantalizing us. After half an hour
they ceased to do even that, and we saw tbe whole band go
splashing and cavorting up the stream, where they disap-
peared around a curve.

It wbb now nearly dark, so, disgusted with our treatment,
we returned to the sailboat. During dinner and all that
evening, tarpon was the only subject of conversation, and
many were the plans proposed to decoy one of these lordly
fiBh to his doom Dext day. Early in tbe morning Tom and I
started off up the stream once more. We bad a good supply
of squibs and spoon baits of all sorts, but no bait, as the men
had been unable to get any mullet, owing to the depth of the
water in the creek. For four hours we wandered up and
down that stream, but never a tarpon showed itself. Half a
dozen alligators were scared, and we saw them jump from
the banks into the water; but we were not after alligators,
and had no gun anyway. At last, disheartened, we started
back for lunch. Suddenly on turning the curve we met our
friends of the day before at the same old game. Putting on
a spoon bait and a lead for bait, I cast it over the spots they
were breaking in. After one or two playful rises by tarpon
that didn't mean business, the spoon waa seized by a big
fellow, who, coming up with a rush, Bhowed himself half out
of the water. Whiz went the reel, snap went th- line, and
my first tarpon had been hooked and lost. Three more
spoons went the same road.

BlThis being our first experience with tarpon, we were not
aware of tbe necessity of a thick cotton shell above the spoon
for a couple of feet, to counteract the file-like aotion of their
jaws. I was growing desperate at my frequent losses, and
almost Bick with the constant excitement and disappoint-
ment, when a smaller fellow seized tbe spoon and disappeared
with it. The line didn't break tbistime, and the fish seemed
well hooked. This tarpon behaved like a lunatic. Probably
it seemed so to me, as he was the first one I had ever trifled
with. He would dart with lightning speed for fifty yards,
spring several feet out of the water, wriggle and shake bia
head fiercely in the air; then dash back on the same track he
had come and disappear under the boat. Now and then he
would vary this performance by taking double somersaults
in the air backward and forward, being evidently an adept at
either. Of courBe this sort of thing could not last long, and
in fifteen minutes I had him alongside the boat, and Tom
gaffed him. When gaffed he made a final rally, struggled
for freedom, and almost succeeded in dragging Tom into the
water, but instead Tom jerked him into the boat. "What a
beautiful fish!" we both exclaimed at once, and sat gazirjg
admiringly at it.

Withont a doubt the tarpon is the most beautiful fish in
the world, if we take into account shape, color and size.
Fresh from the water its Bides are a brilliant silver; its back
a dark opalescent green, giving purple and red metallic
flashes when looked at from various angles. Its belly is
white mother of pearl, its tail and back fin gleam with purple
and green iridescence. When we consider that to tbis flash-
ing mass of silver and brilliant coloring a good, gamey shape
is added and a fierce head, we easily understand why the tar-
pon ib called "The Silver King," and is the king of game
fiBh.

An exclamation of Tom's drew me from my pleasant con-
templation. "Stolen as usual, " he sarcastically Baid, and so
it was. The fish was hooked in the cartilage just behind one
eye. Soon after all tbe tarpon disappeared. It was, prob-
ably, their dinner hour. We took the hint and returned to
ours. On weighing the fisb he scaled forty-two pounds,
measuring four feet two inches in length. For a week we
tried that creek again with spoon sqoib and freBh bait, but,
although we saw many tarpon playing around, not a rise nor
a strike rewarded us. At last, weary with futile attemp's, we
sailed down tbe creek and back to Jupiter, entering off tbe
light-bouse. Here we heard that up iu tbe bay, just before
getting to Jnpiter Creek, plenty of big crevalle had been seen
sunning, themselves, so we decided the next day to try onr
luck with them. Starting about 9 o'clock, Tom and I rowed
up to the lagoon, some four miles away. Tuis lagoon was
really part of the oreek, but waa three-quarters of a mile wide
by two miles long Paddling about here we arrivedat a spot
two hundred yards from the southern side, where the fre-
quent brakeB, screws and small mullet informed us that some
large fish were feeding. Allowiug our boat to drift, we placed
ourselves in each end of the boat with a rod. Having out
pieces of mullet about six inoheslong and about. an inch
wide, we tied these to the hook and linet allowing about half

oyo

to haDg loose below the hook. Casting the bait as far as
possible, we would wind in, jerking them to the surface of
the water.

At every cast the water would actually boil behind our
baits, but somehow the crevalle would not bite jast then.
Half an hour later, however, when the tide began to run in,
Tom booked the first fa'sh. The crevalle made a splendid
tight, and although on a heavy rod it was fifteen minutes
before we could gaff it. He weighed fifteen pounds. Two
more I lauded soon afterward. They made splendid Bport.
Tom had just played the fourth some ten minut s, and waB
gradually reeling him in for me to gwff, when, within ten feet
of the boat, a shark, about seven feet long I should judge,
sprang at the crevalle, and, presto! the deed was done.

Twice agaiu during the afternoon the same thing took
place. Each time the shark was successful, and obtained the
free luncb, he coveted.

At one time there were five sharks struggling around our
boat, no doubt attracted by the blood of the crevalle that had
been bitten. Only quick work with the gaff saved our fish
several times. We had altogether landed twenty-three
crevalle, averaging from three to seventeen pounds, when,
the sky in the north becoming threatening, we headed back
to Jupiter. It was too late, however, to escape the stnrm. for
before we could reach uor sailboat it struck us, and in five
minutes weweresoaked and the boat half filled. For several
days we repeated our crevalle excursion, each day catching
from a dozen to two dozens of this gamey fish, than which, in
my opinion, none pulls harder fur its size. Finally, having
spent a fortnight very satisfactorily in the neighborhood of
Jupiter, we set sail and started north once more. "We decided
to go to Titusville and from there to Puntagorda, on the Gulf
side, by Enterprise, Saudford and Bartow. From Puntagorda
we planned to go t Funtarassa, which we had heard was the
heidqnarters for tarpon enthnsias's. This programme we
carried out. At Puntagorda we engaged a thirty-foot hloop
with two meu and two rowboats, in which we sailed to ihe
Tarpon House, Puntarassa.

The reader must not be led by this ornamental name of
Tarpon House into tignring for himself one of the typical
hotels of the southern Uuited States. It only became a hotel
after passing a certain evolution of its own. Originally a pro-
vision depot during the last Seminole war, it became for
years a terminus of the Havana cable, which it still is. A
few years ago, however, the genial operator, Mr. George
Schultz, adapted it to till, in a measure, a want long felt by
anglers in these regionp, and now it affords a shelter during
the night to the few but energetic tarpon fishermen who
viBit PuntaraeBa. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Schuliz
has accommodation for some twenty guests, he has every
soring to send as many more away. Imagine to yourself a
large, irregular, painted wooden house, surrounded by a
veranda, with a pier fifty yards long jotting out from it.
Plaoe the whole of this on a sand spit stretching out into the
bay, and you have a very good idea of the place. Not attrac-
tive, no doubt you think. Wait until you have returned
once from a good day's tarpon fishing to its comfortable shel-
ter, to its good— though invariable — fish supper; wait till
af-er supper, when sitting on the veranda you are smoking
and glorying about yourself, always supposing you have
oaught a tarpon, and then, not till then give me your opin-
ion.

Here Tom and I put up, glad to escape from the narrow
confinement of a sailboat, which we had endured Jor sis
weeks on the Indian River, and had had quite enough of.
Our sailboat we simply used for cruising about to the various
fishing grounds. At the hotel were some ten or twelve ener-
getic fishermen, generally New Yorkers, most of thtm good
at all Borta of fishing. During the daytime no'»ody was vis-
ible, all being off to court the lordly tarpon. In the evening
all would meet on the veranda or in the smoking room, when
ibe events of that day were thoroughly discussed. The
number of swirls seen or imagined; the number of tarpon
fins or tails that had been spied; who had had a strike, with
generally a wih'ly excited discussion as to whether that iden-
tical strike had been a shark or a tarpon. TheBe were the
topics we discussed. If a tarpon had been caught the lucky
man was the hero of that evening. He was surrounded and
questioned; every detail was eagerly demanded; the number
of times his fish jumped, how high, how far; whetner he had
made more than one somersault in the air; how he took the
bait off, Blow or fast; did he show his tail out of the water or
simply swirl, or had he given any indication of his intentions
at all? Then the noble catcher was interviewed as to how
he had played his capture and how he had gaffed it. And
then a man would presently leave the group and go to the
end of the pi«r, and with a lamp would examine the tish care-
fully, and put his finger in every suspicious hole, lest by
chance that tish might have been shot or speare '; and per-
haps the fish would seem shorter than the length announced,
and at once a tape would bo procured and the fish re-meas-
ured, perhaps even o& weighed. The difference of a quarter
of an inch in length or of half a pound in weight would be
welcomed with shouts of laughter, and the lucky man guyed
on his deceitful proclivities.

Verily, the lover's jealousy may be a green-eyed monster,
but compared with the jealousy of the tarpon fisheimau
toward his brother sportsman it counteth as nothing. Dark
bints, suggestive winks, sarcastic smiles and harassing whis-
pers can be seen all over the hotel the day one or more tar-
pon are caught. If you paw two old spurts of an evening
whispering in a corner, their faces indicative of subdued
delight and exchanging every now and then a Boft chuckle,
you might be sure that the reputation of so-and-so as a fish-
erman was suffering badly at their hands, or rather tongues.
ABide from the weakness of thinking that every fish was not
caught exactly as it should be, or in quite a sportsman-like
way, a more genial or perfectly satisfied set of men it would
be hard to find anywhere.

Two more courteous aud affable gentlemen than Hon.
Joseph Rontier and Hon. J. Downey Harvey, Fish Commis-
sioners, would be hard to find, but underlying their geniality
there is an unmistakable purpose to perform the dnties pre-
scribed to members of the Commission by law. They are
inexorable when offenses are brought to notice, and unvary.
ing in attempts to apprehend violators of the game and fish
laws. Neither position, personal relations, nor any other
consideration is permitted to influence them, and the sooner
hide hunters, quail trappers, and dealers in forbidden skins
and game awake to the fact that the Commission means busi-
ness, the better it will be for them.

The Commissioners have earned the warm regard and ie_
speot both of Bportsmen and citizens generally, and should
be generously and generally upheld in their thankless en-
deavors.

Habits of the Ruffed Grouse.

The partridge is a brown bird, and much more wily; by
this ye shall recognize him. In the wider portions of our
country the impression has gained ground that T. umbellun
is a fool. No such thing; he is a valiant bird, and a reason-
ing one, only in this instance his reasoning is on wrong lines,
says an exchange. Because forages it had been sufficient to
flutter to the nearest bough to elude the fox, the wildcat or
the skunk, the same tactics were resorted to wtien approached
by that hideous two-legged beast with a club in its hand.
Experience, however, has taught the surviving relatives of
the deceased grouse a hard lesson, and to-day, in the more
settled districts, they are the hardest game bird of the United
States to hunt successfully. Even in the back townships of
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, the partridge is as
wild as a hawk on certain days; in fact, no bird, not even the
snipe, is so changeable in his moods as the subject of this
Bketch. If the bushes are wet he is unsettled; if a moderate
breeze is blowing, he is wild and difficult to approach, while
a warm, still morning, after a cold, frosty night, renders this
bird so tame that the veriest tyro that ever shouldered a con-
verted flintlock can get within murderous range and "pot"
hiB bird sitting.

There is much in knowing where to look for the game.
The novice is apt to go tearing at railroad speed over the
whole country-side, tongue out and perspiring at every pore,
until at laBt, when thoroughly disheartened, he eventually
stumbles on a flock, he is so bedeviled that he misses clean.
Contract his behaviour with that of the old "paltridge gun-
ner" from the head of Bitter creek. This worthy knows full
well, if it be early in the season and the weather has been
tine and dry for some days or weeks, that every bird will be
near the banks of one of the small ril's that feed the river in
the valley below. At such seasons and in such places
Beveral broods seem to keep together; the writer knows of
one flock that numbered eighteen birds when found.

Later on, and during October, the partridge are more
scattered, and are very much given to frequenting the vicin-
ty of old lumber roads, or even tbe country highways.
There is one plant they are passionately fond of, aud eat
with avidity whenever circumstances permit, the clovt-r; and,
if a quiet woods' road be visited, passing through alternate
hardwood ridges and alder swa'es, and carpeted with an a-
bundant giowth of timottiy and clover, partridge shooting
on that trail will usually be good, and freBh flocks constant-
ly arriving to take the place of those butchered to make a
oitizen's holiday.

In November the birds usually take to the beech ridges,
and then are undoubtedly at their best from a gastronomi-
cal standpoint. Anything more toothsome than a plump
nut-brown partridge, who has been gorging himself daily on
beech-maBt for weeks does not exist. They have been shot,
under these conditions, so fat that their breasts split on fal-
ling, like an over-ripe peach. TheBtock of these birds var-
ies much from year to year; a wet June kills many young
birds, while a dry warm summer is favorable to them, and
insures sport in the fall for tbe hunter with his breech load-
er aud merrv setters.

There was very poor fishing on Sunday and during the
week

Smelt were scarce everywhere, and the rock cod did not
seem to hook as well as usual.

Several very large salmon tront have recently been caught
around the different wharves.

The tides will be good to-morrow, but the chances are the
fishing around the bay will be poor.

SThe Irish Setter Club's Trials.

Dr. J. H, Salter, one of the judges of the Irish Setter
Club's field trials has furnished the English Kennel Gazette a
report of the trials, which we believe is the first report of a field
trial ever published with the name of a judge signed to it. The
report is very interesting, and shows Dr. Salter to be thor-
oughly familiar with the subject he is writing of. It is only
natural, therefore, that he should be so good a judge. We
copy the following portion of the report, which will be inter-
esting to our readers, especially to those who own Irish set-
ters :

The meeting must be considered a highly successful oae in
everyway. It has certainly done one thiug, and that is to
establisb the Irish setter, when properly broken and handled,
as equal, if not superior, to the best strains of English set-
ters and pointers. I have always luoked upon them as head-
stroug and very difficult to break, and I still believe them to
be so, and they are, at best, but indifferent backer^: but for
pace, endurance, cleverneBS, and game-tinding sense [when
broken), give me an Irish setter, such as Henmore Sure
Death and Mac's Little Nell. Devonshire Sail won all her
trials brilliantly, and made, perhaps, fewer miotakes than
anything at the meeting. She goes a great pace, having a
fine stride, carries both ends well, and does not seem in a
hurry to cry "a go." Her nose is of the best quality, and she
was well and quietly handled by her breaker. VVorreen, Lit-
tle Pixie, Eenmore Shutover, Woodbine are all above the
average, the latter being perhaps the best natural backer of
all thu Irishmen. I am not sure that backing is not the
weakest point in the armor of both Sure Death and Mac's
Little Ned. I oid see Snre Death, however, back occasion-
ally without compulsion, but, if it occurred, it escaped my
rotice in any of Little Nell's trials. This may be partly ex-
plained, as I said before, by her great turn of speed and re-
markable "ame-finding power, which seldom allows an oppo-
nent to geTa point from her. But I noticed in the trial with
Pixie, when the Utter stood her birds at a very long distance,
Little Ntll sheered off to the right, either not Beeiug her or
pretending not to see her. and then coming round to the
wind some fi;ty or sixty yards neater, she pointed the same
covey at a differeut angle— a less clever dog would not have
escape! a penalty for refusing to back; but here it could not
be proven against her, and so Bbe scored her point. In the
Irish braces it would have been a near thing between Wood-
bine and Sure Death against Mac's Little Ntll and Pixie, and
taken some time to play out had all been on their best be-
havior. I don't know anything that would be more interest.

ing than to have half a day right off at these two braces in
succession. Woolton Gem and Phyllis are both good dogs.
The former (whether run with too much fleBh on her or not
I do not know) never seemed to be able to go quite the pace
of her opponents, seemed to potter, and to be contented with
backing; both showed muoh steadiness and good breaking.

Ighttield Rosa, too, was a treat to see, and is, I think, the
smallest English setter I have seen at work for some time.
Her pace is first class, and her nose is one which causes her
to make up her mind in a twinkling. She was beaten by
Devonshire Sail fairly and squarely because she failed in
locating birds which had run in a circle down wind — under
other circumstances the position might be reversed, or per-
haps I might express it better by saying it might be more
difficult to confirm. Mr. Bulled thought highly, I believe,
of D vonshire Jack, but as he was diawn in favor of his
sister Devonshire Lady, I did uot see much of his perform-
ances. I must nut close this somewhat lengthy report with-
out thanking Mr. Giltrap (to whom the success of the meet-
ing and the establishment of the Irish Setter Club are almost
entirely due) and his committee, together with Sir W. Mac-
Mahon, and Mr. Black, and Mr. Cecil Moore, the owners of
the "Mountains" over which we worked, for their great cour-
tesy and hospitality during my stay in the sister island.

In making an analysis from my notes of the meeting, the
following may be of interest to some of your readers who are
interested in field trials, and to Borne of the owners of dogs
running at Omagh.

The average length of each trial was twenty-four minutes
and a half. The shortest time was five minutes (there were
four trials of this length), aud the longest time was fifty
minutes, there being three trials of this length.

There were three times as many points as backs. False
pointing was the most common fault, then flushing, then
refusing to back, then refusing to drop to wing or shot, then
chasing, of which there were eight examples (good and bad)
during the meeting.

The greatest number of positive points (pointing and back-
ing) scored in one trial were made by Devonshire Sail.

The greatest number of negative points was made by Garry
Owen.

Twelve competitors failed to make a positive score, while
twenty-four failed to make a neaative score.

The greatest difference in winning total was between Or-
mond II. and Garry Owen, and the smallest was between
Mac's Little Nell and Woodbine.

The following trials were close ones, being separated only
by a few points:

Henmore Sure Death's trials with Worreen, Mao's Little
Nell, Ighttield Ranger, and Maggie.

Mac's Little Nell and Woodbine.

Woolton Gem with Devonshire Sail and with Devonshire
Lady.

Devonshire Ner and Lord Henmore.

These estimates are made up to the time I left the ground,
viz , about mid-day on the third and last day.

A coursing meeting was run off at Merced on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of the current week, ending too late to
enable us to present more than a fragmentary report. Tbe
full summary and such remarks as may be justified will be
printed in the next issue. An incident of the first day was
a runaway in which Mr. J. C. Pennie and wife were some-
what injured, we are glid to record, not seriously.

A meeting of the Pacific Kennel Club was called for Wed-
nesday evening last but no quorum appeared. Between
shows there seems to be an utter lack of interest, even
though, as is now the fact, a serious obligation rests upon
members to hold up the good name of the Club and contrib-
ute to its treasury. The circular sent out a few weeks ago,
notifying members of an assessment of $20 has not brought
any gratifying returns, up to this time, — and there is reason
for doubt, aB to whether a proportion of those who have
been curried along aB members have not been willing to
share profits but not expenses.

We can think of no more distasteful duty than to urge lag-
gard members of the Pacific Keonel Club to do merely what
jb right in relation to the last dog Bhow given by the Club.
The assessment and all dues should be paid at once.

Two strains of pointer blood unknown to us have recently
come to the State. One is owned at Antiocb, the best repre-
sentative being a dog in poesession of Mr. William Remfree.
The other is owned by Mr. Austin B. Sperry at Stockton.
Both are said to be good lookers, big and able, and we are
anxious to procure the fullest possible information about the
dogs. Mr. Sperry 's pointer will Btart in the all-aged-stake at
BakerBfield in January, and his owner is confident of a good
race.

Deer are unusually plentiful this season in the vicinity of
Mountain City, Elko county, Nevada. The Times-Review
says: They run in droves of ten or a dozen, and it is no
trick at all for a moderately good hunter to bag three or four
in a day's shooting.

Thr "Sportsmen's Protective Association" held its month-
ly meeting on Tuesday evening last at the hall of the
Knights of the Red Branch, corner of O'Farrell and Mason
streets. The feature of the evening wasa talk by Mr. J. D.
Sullivan an attorney of the city, upon the right of shooters
to enter upon overflowed and marsh lands for the purpose
of hunting thereupon, without regard to the wishes or warn-
ing of owners. Mr. Sullivan could Dot give bis opinion in
favor of the position taken by the Association, which is tha
the Bhootiug on no lands except thoae inclosed by a stock-
tight fence can be preserved. Mr. Sullivan suggested tbatthe
Directors of the Club should communicate with the owners
ol these marsh lands and request tbem not to grant exclu-
sive privileges to a few sportsmen, but allow the same priv-
ileges to all to puisne game that came on the lands. He
thought that their ends could be better attained that way
than by waiting for an appeal to tbe Legislature, which will
not meet for more than a year hence. At the clo
Sullivan's addresB he was given a unanimous vote

Southern California Racing Club-
By an announcement to be seen in the proper columns
the information is given that the Los Angeles sportsmen
are going to give a five days' meeting for runners, com-
mencing December 25th. Mr. Kodman, the Secretary,
also writes to say that if tne support will warrant it
an extra week will be given. The great Southern city
has always been very successful in their winter meetings
and with good weather this one Bhould prove no excep-
tion to the rule. The programme has been shaped very
much on the same liaes as the P. C- Blood Horse Associ-
ation's for this year, and as the entries to the latter have
surpassed all former years, there is no reason why the
Southern California Racing Club should not have almost
as many. Entry blanks can be had on application to the
Secretary or from this office.

Death of Lord Falmouth.

A special cablegram to the N. Y. Herald states that
the well known patron of the turf, Lord Falmouth,
died on the night of November 6th. He had attained
much prominence by his many victories, his Magpie
Jacket having been successful in many a hard fought
contest, at Newmarket, Doncaster, and on the far famed
Epsom Downs. It is said of him that he never made a
bet but once and that was with Mrs. Dawson, the wife
of his trainer. The amount wagered was six pence, and
as his Lord-hip lost, he gave the winner a sixpenny
piece set in diamonds. As an authority on turf matter
he had no superior in England, and among his associates,
he was always appealed to, to decide bets, and his de-
cisions were invariably correct. His stable was always
a large one and he raced his horses far the pure love of
the sport.

In 186U he won the Oaks with Queen Bertha, and in
I87fi with Spinaway; in 1878 with Jannette, and in 1879
with Wheel of Fortune. The latter was a very small
animal, but ber action was so perfect that many book-
makers refused to lay against her. She was never beaten
but once, her defeat occur! rig in the great Yorkshire
Stakes, where she broke down.

The Derby fell twice to the colors of Lord Falmouth,
firit with King Craft in 1870, and again in 1877 with
dilvio.

For the St. Leger ho was equally fortunate, winning
this classic event in 1877, with Silvio, the second horse
being L*dy fGolightly, from the same stable. Tu 1878
he again won it with Jannette, running second with
Childeric, and in 1882 he won with Dutch Oven.

He won the "Two Thousand" three times, first in 1874
with Atlantic, in 1879 with Charibert, and in 18S3 with
Galliard.

The "thousand guineas" was captured by his lordship
four times, in 1862 with Hurricane, in 1873 with Cecilia,
in 1875 with Spinaway, and in 1879 with Wheel of For-
tune.

National Game Law.

Months ago the Breeder and Sportsman saggested
and urged the enactment by Congress of a National
Game Law. In the Century Magazine for November
the subject is treated in a brief and applicable manner.
To the same purpose the writer draws the difference be-
tween Old World laws and those relating to the United
States, in stating the conditions which exist and in sug-
gesting the legislation which is necessary to the
better protection and preservation of game of
every kind in this broad country of the New World. In
Europe generally, in the United Kingdom particularly,
game is preserved for particular persons. In the United
States it is not thus preserved for a class, but is equally
open to all. The principle is right, only the abuse of it
is wrong. It is not right that comparatively a few, in
game regions, should take or enjoy all of it, or the most
considerable portion. The need of laws to protect the
many from this habitual abuse of the few is invariably
apparent. It is to the legislation of this character that
the Breeder and Sportsman directs public attention.
The field and the game are alike narrowing and dimin-
ishing in every section of the land. It is to protect the
remnant and toj preserve the Bpecies that a National
Game Law is required. Every year the necessity be-
comes more urgent,

The original States of the Union embraced only a
small area of the vast domain which is now comprised.
Then the Atlantic and the Mississippi confined the Amer-
ican Republic. It now embraces the continent stretch-
ing from the Gulf of Mexico to the British Dominion,
east of the Rocky Mountains and upon the Western slope
from Lower California to the StraitB of Fuca, from the
northern British boundary to the furthermost mainland
and islands of the American continent. From this vast
expanse the millions of buffalo have been ruthlessly
slaughtered 'and almost exterminated. Only rare and
scattered bands, more vigilantly guarded than cattle,
now remain. Elk, deer, antelope, and every other vari-
ty of mountain, plain and valley regions, of forest aad of
grassy lands, have similarly disappeared before the de-
structive forays of unconscionable hunters and slayers.

A similar class bas impoverished the lakes, the rivers
and the contributory streams. The choicest of food fish
salmon, shad, trout, white fish, pike and other varie-
ties have materially diminished. Even the seas have

been invaded, and the valuable fur seal, found mostly in
American waters, is suffering the diminution consequent
upon indiscriminate, inconsiderate, reckless aDd rapa-
cious hunting and slaughter. In neither fur, flesh, fin
nor feather is there adequate protection against this mer-
ciless and devastating killing. There ought to be protec-
tion, and Congress is the authority to apply it aDd en-
force it. The remedy cannot be too quickly provided.

There are now only a few of the territories remaining
— Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona. New Mexico, the
Indian Territory and the several scattered large areas
Bet apart for reservations for the different tribes. Wash-
ington, Montana and the two Dakotas have very recent-
ly been created into States. It is in these new States and
these remaining Territories and Reservations that wild
game abounds, and is most in need of protection. The
States can duly legislate upon the subject. Congress
alone possesses authority to make laws for the protection
of game in the Territories. This authority cannot be
exercised too soon. Alaska presents a different case in
some respects. It is apart from the close contiguity to
the Republic which is eDjoyed in the other Territories,
and is an isolated, vast region. Its fur seal and its
fisheries have made Alaska celebrated in the pursuits of
commerce, and from comparative obscurity the land has
emerged, under American possession, to impoitaut rank
in commercial aspects. Besides the fur seal are salmon,
cod, halibut, and other species of favorite food fish, and
all along the great length of coast line, and all through
lhe interior — as yet only indifferently explored — are
found treasures of game, fish, flesh and fowl, which
Bhould be amply protected by national laws.

The incoming of the four new States — of Washington
and Montana of the Pacific section, and of the two Da.
kotas, west of the Mississippi — in which the necessity of
adequate game laws is doubtless generally appreciated,
will no doubt facilitate and strengthen the cause of the
Territories in Congress in respect to the legislation which
is required for the due protection of game of every kind
against the rapid depletion which has marked the history
of every other Territory since the American ocoupation^
The early generations of the American people were born

to the possession of a wealth and an expanse of wild
game unequalled in the world, useful and profitable to
mankind. It exhibits reckless stewardship in the care
of all this, whilst the virtual disappearance of the buffalo
is contemplated, and in the reflection — the only thing
that is left — that likewise has almost any other species
of noble and choice and unparalleled game, suffered
ruthless extermination, without thought or means on the
part of Congress to protect this invaluable legacy for the
fair enjoyment of the generations which shall succeed to
the magnificent domain.

A National Game Law is needed. It devolves upon
the Congress of t'je Republic to enact a law that shall
prove efficacious. The Pacific States wish this measure
of protection for the Territories. Their Representatives
in Congress will labor to accomplish the good work.

Guy Wilkes. 2:15 1-4-

Mr. Corbitt, of the San Mateo Stock Farm, has filled
Guy Wilkes book for the coming season, and announces
this week that the books are now open for 1891. The
great stallion, Sable Wilkes, 2:18. will receive a limited
number of mares at a service fee of $250, and Leo
Wilkes, a magnificent specimen of the Wilkes blood, will
be stinted to a few mares at £100 the season. Now that
the deBcendents of Geo. Wilkes are in such great demand
this gives the breeders of California a chance to avail
themselves of a favorable opportunity to procure this
great strain.

The Thoroughbred Division.

Next Saturday, the Pacific Coast Blood Horse Asso-
ciation will commence their annual fall meeting, and
from the mammoth list of entries, it promises to furnish
a rare lot of sport. A great deal of concern has been
felt owing to the fact that none of the large California
stables now in the East would make any entries, but
they will not be missed as the local owners have more
than made up for the deficiency. Good weather is the
one requisite required to make the fall meeting of 1889,
the most successful ever hdld by the association.

Buckeye Spring Tooth Harrow and Seeder-
One of California's representative firms is P. P. Maet &
Co , 31 Market street. Everything that appertains to agri-
cultural implements may be found at their mammoth ware-
house, and as Ihey only handle the very best of goods, im-
plicit reliance may be placed in anything the firm sends out.
Among the specialties advertised by them is the Buckeye
Spring Tooth Harrow and Seeder, one of the best harrows
ever brought to the coast. Mr. C. H. Hoppin, the former
owner of Yolo Maid, is a stroDg endorser of the harrow, and
says: "It is the best I ever saw used." M. D. Atwater, of
Merced, is equally enthusiastic, and claims it ib the best ever
made. Circulars and price lists will be sent on application.

Communication.

San Luis Obispo, Oct 25, 1889.

Editor Breeder an" Sportsman: — Iu the Breeder and
Sportsman of October 19tb, au article appears over the signa-
ture of Geo. C. Smith of Santa Maria, giving an account of
his being ruled off tbe track at San Lois Obispo in September
last, with his mare Topsy, in which he Btates that he die.
tanced Miss Monroe, a San Luis mare, with Topsy in 2.32.

(The Breeder axd Sportsman's special commission sent
a report of the race as follows: Topsey acted ao badlv scor-
ing that she waB considered by many as out of tbe race. Her
owner, after Mr. Ferguson had tried for half an hour to start
her, waB placed in the sulky, and he tried to make Topsy
trot, and after scoring for twenty minutes he nodded for the
word go, although two lengths behind. After she passed
the wire she settled down and trotted very rapidly, catching
the leader, Fred Arnold, in the baokstretch. She was ahead
at the half, and won handily. Time. 2:36i. Iu the second
heat Topsy waB driven by Mr. Ferguson and the three horses
sent off to a fair start. Topsy trotted fast in the lead, and
Fred Arnold two lengths behind. Topsy won. Fred Arnold
second and Miss Monroe almost distanced. Time, 2:32. Har-
ry Leig, driver of Miss Monroe, aaked to withdraw her, and
the judges, after hearing testimony and finding the mare too
sick to trot, she was withdrawn. Fred Arnold and TopBy
jogged around and trotted tbe mile in 2:53* — Ed.)

A' Santa Maria Fair (previous to fair at San Luis Obispo)
all th • papers represented Miss Monroe as fa % all summ- r in
tact very fast; that her owner told him Mies Monroe had
trotted in 2:20 and could trot easily in 2:22; that ms beating
Miss Monroe was the commencement of bis trouble in being
ruled off at San Luis Obispo, through Bon. L. M. Warden
vice-president ot the 16th District Agricultural Association!
As to Miss Monroe having been advertised us being very fast
all summer in tbe papers, it is not a fact. Miss Monroe was
brought borne from the Pleas>.nton Stock Farm, August 1,
1889, after having had a severe spell of sickness th*re and
was attended by two reputable veterinary surgeons and her
life was despaired of. Indeed she waB reported in the news-
paper, dead. Th's is what Mr. Smith may have seen in the
newspaper*. The owner of Miss Monroe never told bim
that Misa Monroe had trotted in 2:20 or could trot in 2-22
easy. In justice to Vice-President Warden, I will state
that he never bad any interest in Miss Monroe end that the
tr >t at Saota Maria bad nothing whatever to do with the
mling off of Mr. Smith at San Luis Obispo. If Mr. George
C. Smith can get a little advertising and obeap notoriety for
himself and his mare (2:23 to pet) by airing their troubles
well and good, but it would be well enough for him to oonfine
himself to the truth when he alludes to other people and
their property. Yours respectfullv, R. S. Brow<

Speed Drive Benefit.

Last Saturday afternoon was the appointed time for the
contests of speed, -which had been arranged by the commit-
tee selected to raise funds to oomplete the Bpeed drive way
in Golden Gate Park. The attendance was between 1400
and 1500, but there were hundreds of tickets sold which were
not represented. It is many years since such a representa-
tive assembly has gathered on a race track "in this neighbor-
hood, which was strong proof of the great interest manifested
by the better class of citizens, who are all anxious to see the
speed driveway finished, and their presence was ao assur-
ance to the Park Commissioners that the work should be
completed at once. We have nut heard from the committee,
as to the amount realized but it will undoubtedly sum up at
least $2,000. Two exceedingly good races were on the score
card, in addition to a gentleman's roadster race, and the ex-
hibitions cf Sunol aud Palo Alto. The judges for the day
were John Martin, W. R. Allen and A. S. Allen, while the
timers selected were Messrs. Smith, Murray and Hastings.

When everything was ready, the judges announced that
Mr. Marvin would drive Sunol an exhibition heat; there was
no runner up to accompany the filly and she started on her
journey alone. Her appearance did not strike the eye of the
onlooker as being perfect, there being a stiffness which was
no doubt occasioned by the let up, necessary on account of
the severe rains which began during the Breeders' Meeting
when all of the Palo Alto horses were jast on edge. The
first quarter was negotiated in 35 seconds, and it took 36 sec-
onds more to get to the half. On the backstretch there was
about a hundred yards or more of very bad traveling and
Marvin could not extend her as fast as he would liked to have
done. However, shortly after passing the half, Sunol began
to show what there was in her. She reached the three-quarter
post in 1:44, aud came under the wire in 2:16, making the
last half mile in 1:05. Taking the condition of the track in-
to consideration and the state the filly was in from the let up
in work, the performance was wonderful and reflects the
highest credit on the daughter of Electioneer and Waxana.
The 2;20 Class Trotting.
First Beat— The entries for the 2:20 class were "W. F.
Smith's Thapsin, "W. "W. Ayres' Bay Rose, A. Gonzalez's
Junio and H. J. Agnew's Emma Temple. The latter did not
put in an appearance, so the other three were left to fight out
the contest. Junio was made a most pronounced favorite at
$25, Tbapsin selling for $13 and Bay Rose for $11. These
were about the ruling figures although they graduated slight-
ly. When the word was given, Junio broke under the wire
and Thapsin took the pole, but the Gonzalez entry caught
very quickly and kept up with Bay Rose, the two trotting
like a double team until well into the backstretch where
Janio fell behind and left Bay Rose and Thapsin to fight out
the battle between themselves. At the drawgate Bay Rose
broke and Wilber Smith brought Thapsin down to a joggoing
under the wire two lengths in advance of Bay Rose, with
Junio ten lengths in the rear. Time by quarters, 0:36, 1:11,
1:46, 2:21£.

Second Heat — Notwithstanding that Thapsin had won the
first heat so handily, the betting fraternity still had faith in
the son of Electioneer and the odds continued much as they
ruled prior to the first heat, and as money showered into the
box there seemed no end to the betters and their pocket books,
with the Bay Rose people getting their tickets at a slight re-
duction. Wben the word was given Junio made a break In-
stantly but was again caught rapidly and in a few strides was
at the nose of Bay Rose, Thapsin now leading by a length.
On the middle of the backstretch Junio moved up a little, but
fell back as though the work was too much for him. As
they all rounded into the upper turn Junio put on another
Bpurt but he could not catch the black. Bay Rose here made
a slight break which did not interfere with his chances as he
could not have possibly won the heat. Shaner drove Jnmo
down the stretch for all there was in him, but Thapsin passed
under the wire winner by three lengthB, with Bay Rose at
lea^t a dozen lengths behind Junio. Time by quarters,
0:37*. 1:12, 1:49, 2:24*.

Third Heat — There was two distinot rushes made at the
pool-box prior to the third heat, the first being occasioned by
those who wanted to hedge, the prices being Thapsin $50 to
$20 for the other pair coupled. When this had gone on for
some time, the Junio folks again drove their favorite to the
front, and he sold in several instances at more than Thapsin
and Bay Rose combined. They were started with Junio in
the lead, which he kept to the turn, where he broke, and
before the quarter was reached Thapsin was again leading,
Junio and Bay Rose ma&ing the usual fight for second place

horsemen are turned, hoping that before the end of the year
he may lower the stallion record, and thus add additional
honors to this State. He looked to be in better condition
than his stable companion, who had previously made an exhi
bition mile, but still he was far from being the horse he was
just prior to the rains. A runner was brought out to
accompany Senator Stanford's favorite, and when Marvin felt
that he had him going just right, he nodded for the word,
and away the pair went, the quarter being reached in 34 J
seconds. As before, the driver had to ease up his horse on
account of the heavy going, and it took 1:07* to reach the
half-mile pole. At the three-quarters the time was 1:40 J, but
be turned into the stretch with such a burst of speed that
almost everyone present felt that he would lower his record.
When he reaohed the drawgate, the runner came up
to him too close, and the game stallion broke, but Marvin
soon had him settled, and he passed under the wire in 2:15,
the breaking causing him to lose fully two seconds. It was a
grand attempt, and heartily appreciated by all who witnessed
it. At the conclusion the bell was tapped for the
2:23 Class—Trottinq.
First Heat — The entries were Palo Alto Stock Farm's Arol.
James A. Dastin's J. R., E. P. HealdTs NonaY., J. H. White's
Kitty Almont, and Mr. DuBois' Magnate. The betting
talent selected Arol for choice, and he sold at $50, while the
field broaght $35.

After scoring twice they got the word on the third attempt,
J. R. having a trifle the worst of the send off. As they
rounded into the turn Nona Y. had taken a fair had, and was
heading Arol by three lengths, the balance strung out in
processional order. As she went up the backstretch she still
further increased her lead, but the eyes of the spectators were
not on the leaders, for all were watching Kitty Almont, who
had become so lame that Hiokok had to pull her up and
start back to the stables with her. Around the turn and
into the stretch Mr. Heald's mare came very fast, aud it was
evident that David was trying to shut out the field. She
could hardly accomplish the trick, but still managed to come
under the wire just as Magnate passed the flag, J. R. being
only two lengths in front of the latter, and Arol a length or
two in front of J. R. Time by quarters, 0:38, 1:12J, 1:49,
2:25.

Second Heat — Arol still ruled a3 the favorite in the pool-
box, she bringing $100 to S60 for the field. Wben they
were sent off Arol quickly took the lead, closely followed by
J. R., Nona Y. being in third position, with Magnate bring-
ing up the rear. The Palo Alto entry forged ahead, and on
the backstretoh was four lengths to the good, J. R. second,
two leDgths in front of Nona Y., who had made a bad break
at the quarter pole. The3e positions were maintained until
the leader turned into the homestretch, when Nona Y. set
sail and soon passed J. R , but could not quite reach Arol,
who -passed under the wire three-quarters of a length ahead
of Nona, J. R. third and Magnate again being last. Time-
0:38. 1:141, 1:5U, 2:27J.

Third and Fourth Heats — Both oi the last heats were
simply a repetition of the second, with the difference that
Marvin allowed Nona Y. and J. R. to take the lead at the
start, but passed them handily, and won the concluding heats
in 2:24J and 2:26*.

SUMMABY.

Second Heat — Mr. Hnmphrey's entry was somewhat in-
jured in the smash up, so he did not start in the second heat,
but Clawson secured another sulky and put in an appearance
for the second attempt. The pool selling was slow at $100
for Stoneman against $25 for the field. Stoneman got away
in the lead and on the backstretch was five lengths to the
good. He won handily without any effort, Hayden being
second. Tramp third, Whipple fourth, and Roscoe last.
Time 2:39.

(1.) If a horse having no record is entered in the three-
minute claBs and trots in 2:40, is that a bar for the 2:50 class
same year, provided he was not entered previous to trotting
in 2:40? {2.) If a horse trots in 2:29*, does chat constitute
a bar in 2:30 class? (3.) Is h standard (trotter) eligible to
entry fur premium in roadster class at fairs, provided he has
not started in a race?

Answer— (1.) It is a bar. (2.) No. 2:29 would be a bar, but
frictional parts of a second do not affect the entry. (3.) The
Directors of the various Associations make their own condi-
tions in reference to entries. The State Board refuses to ac-
cept standard bred horses for entry in the roadster class, and
presumably many of the miuor societies follow snit. Person-
ally, we do not believe that that is jast, as many gentlemen
have standard bred trotters which are ased exclusively for
road horses, and we incline to the belief that horses so used
should be eligible for entry.

THE ROADSTERS.

Mr. J. A. HcKerron, the celebrated horse boot and harness
manufacturer, had presented an elegant set of harness, val-
ued at $100, to the committee, and it was the premium offered
for the fastest roadster, the conditions being that only owners
should drive. The entries were Capt. Henry White's Stone-
man, J. Humphrey's sorrel gelding, C. H. Kingsley's Allie
Whipple, W. B. Glidden's Len Hayden, C. E. Chapman's Kob-
coe.and L. E. Clawson's Tramp. The prize was arranged in a
conspicuous manner, and while the other races were going on
the gentlemen drivers filled in the time by stating what tbey
would do with the premium when "he" won it. Clawson
was going to buy a new horse, as he felt that the harness was
too good for Tramp. Capt. White wanted to take it off the
wall and put it on Stoneman before the race. Glidden said
he was going to have it gold mounted and diamonds Bet in
the blinders. Cbapman ordered a new butcher cart, painted
red, to set the harness off. Kingsley knew that he would win
it, because his horse had a record, and Humphrey quietly
told his friends that he was afraid to give the name of his

Please give me the definition of the term "running mate."
Is the mate attached to the sulky of tbe animal trying t^
make time, or does it run independent of the horse that ■
being speeded?

Answer. — A running mate is attached to the solky of the
animal being speeded. When the runner is independent of
the sulkey he is then called a "teaser."

length's lead, Jnnio made play for him on the backstretch,
and ultimately cnt down the Bpace so that there was only one
length of daylight dividing them, while Bay Hose was now
five lengths to the bad. These relative positions were main-
tained until the trio wheeled into the stretch, when Junio
once more tried to reduce the difference existing, but Smith
had a lot of reserve still left in Thapsin, and he came away

After the conclusion of the first heat of the 2:20 race, Mr.

but once in a race, and toward whom the eyes of all California

Tramp and the sorrel gelding were leading tbe field, with the
balance strung out. Everything went all right uDtil almost
at the three-quarter pole, when the Borrel got annoyed, seem-
ingly at Tramp being in the lead, and he tried to pull Claw-
son out of the sulky; at least, horses, sulkys and men were
for the instant mixed up in the most absurd manner. Hum-
phrey had his legs around Clawson's neck, and the two
horses were pawing at one another like two of tbe gladiators
that meet occasionally at tbe California Club. As the Chica-
cago carts were not of the indestructable order, wheels and
spokes were soon scattered over the track. "Cap1" White
only stopped for a moment to enjoy tbe discomforture of hiB
antagonists, and then took the lead and was not again head-
ed, the mile being finished m 2:41. Hayden was second,
Whipple third, and Rosooe brought up the rear.

Vnd those who give tne names, take notnoughtfor the claims

titude for being possesive, sometimes awfully so — but in char-

sense has no individuality, but is a mere blaze distinguish-

tician of the Pilgrim band sends word that tie is just now en-

when a humble mnle has been overly good for almosttoojoog

pulous mnle. The mule led out with magnificent upper
strokes countered in grand shape by five base whackB in left
field, when suddenly the smoke o( the conflict ascended like a
mighty whirlwind, obscuring the athletes, but seemingly go-
ing down a steep and rnggeft decline with great rnpidity. No
ueehaws were eeard, but a blue mist became loudly voluble.
Suddenly there came a calm, smoke vanished quickly and
the trembling non-combatants crawled with difficulty down
what was evidently a very hasty attempt at a short cut, to
find swampland yet unreclaimed in the highSierras. There
was also a disgusted nmo in the nind ana an apparently hap-
py mute in nwre mud. Neither apobe, none else dared, but
tender bands and sturdy arms led the warriors unto dry
land. The mule bad forgotten, the man was ready to forgive
so all amicably olimbed to be friendly welcomed by the truil
and pursue the interrupted courses with increased ardor.
The Bnthusiaet baa not since &uug rnnofa in praise of any
sort of mules; il"1 ratber, he seemB to eyo them with a cari-
ous look which may moan respect, possibly beaconed with
fear.but which certainly indicated nothing akin tn admira-
tion. The rilgrims whisper that the duel was a draw and

Canon a short cut was tried, and with the ™™> ™'" °f™

suction; to straighten an expected deviation with an im-
possible tangent; and always because, as either of record or
bv tradition at some time, some one has fallen into the im-
possible to land npon crowns of bay or perhaps of myr t£
But the blessing which follows the failure came upon the
leaders in this case, as always. It has a blue tint about it,
and is probably well known to the enthusiast 6 mule. How-
ever, the band finally discovered itself and reached Fish
Creek Meadows, rest and lunch at 1 p. m.

The Boss Hunter.

Aubrev Howard, son of Mrs. L. D. Howard of Woodland,
a little fellow about eleven years old, claims the medal for
hunterB. A few days ago while he was out in his grand-
father's field and bad his shot-gun with him, a couple of
large swans came sailing over him. He says their bodies
did not look larger than his hat, but he thought he would
shoot anvbow. The charge in the gun was so large that
the recoil knocked him down, and when he jumped up he
could not see for the amoks suddenly a big swan came Bail-
ing down through the smoke and was almost upon him be-
fore he could get out of the way; one wing was broken, and
when be walked up to it, it struck at him. He struck it
over the head with his gun and succeeded in killing it. He
then gave the gun to his little broiher, and taking the neok
of the bird over his shoulder succeeded— after ranch work-
in dra=gin» it to the house. It weighed twenty-Bix pounds
and measured eleven feet from tip to tip. The young hun-
ter is justly proud of his success Some of the members of
the "squawk" gun club would have given him a good price
for the bird if the? bad met him all alone with it. Ihey
could have bragged tor a year.

E E. Ellis, Secretary. T. A. Bringham. President.

With reference to the foregoing, Mr. T. A. Bringham writes
to us as follows, and we hope some of our orack shots may
be able to enter;

Editor Breeder amd Sportsman:— The Tacoma Bine
Eod and Gun Club is going to have a shoot on Nov. 2Sth;
and as your Association treated us nicely while attending
your tournament, we would like as many to receive our pro-
gramme as possible. Unfortunately I learned only the sur
names of what shooters I met and consequently can not send
personal circulars to them, but would like to impose on your
kindness, which I feel safe in doing, to send a few of our cir-
culars to those you think would like to have them. You
will notice that all entries are to be made by Nov. 18th, that
is to give us notice so we can supply birds, but all that is
necessary is a telegram of notification and a pasition will be
held for a shooter. Thanking vou for all favors extended I
remain, T. A. Bringham.

Belmont Marsh, whioh has afforded heavy bags to succeed-
ing generations of sportsmen since the days of Harvey
White, Matthias Ault, Joe Villegia, and the thoroughbreds
of '50, is now at its best, the flight of shore birds being
especially heavy.

Mr. Will C. Brown, sprinter, printer, hunter, and every-
thing else athletic, has gone in fir quail shooting as keenly
as he goes in for everything which he fancies, and is having
good sport every week. *

We hear that Mr. Will Hamilton of San Diego, is having
the rarest of sport among the quails in Lower California, and
we shall be pleased to receive from bim some notes about the
climate, cover, and habits of the birds in those parts.

Mr. A. H. Woolery, at Traver, Tulare county, aska for the
"Hnrliogham Boles." It may be said that these rules have
never been UBed in America in their entirety. Under Ameri-
can usage, Hurllngham style of Bhooting is understood to be
shooting from ground traps, at thirty yardB risp, use of both
barrels permitted, boundary 80 yards, three minutes time in
which to retrieve challenged birds.

To wind up the deer season fittingly, the sportsmen of
San .Mateo County indulged in a general tramp through the
lulls and canyons of the lower part of that wonderfully weP
Blocked oounty.

On the Martinez Eanoho Mr. Nick Bazzo killed a buck
that scaled 170 pounds, dreased, the heaviest recorded for
the season.

Metsrs. Joe Felix, Wm. Oarnduff and L. A. Felix of
Meulo, knocked over three buoks on the Greer Eanoh, all
Chemise deer.

The Bedwood City experts, Ed. Eikerenkotter and hi4
brother, have brought twenty odd buoks in duTing Septem-
ber and Ootober from the Portola section.

Mr. W. E. Hearst, proprietor of the San Francisco Daily
Examiner, happened to wiBh a grizzly bear a few months
ago, and strolling from his managerial office into the "City
Boom" detailed one of the staff, Mr. Alia* Kelly, who
ohanced to be unoccupied at the moment, to go into the
mountains and get one. Mr. Kelly did so, and the bear is
dow at Woodward's Garden in this city. Suoh a wish, de-
tail and bit of nervy accomplishment are well worth es-
pecial note. There was only a bare possibility of success,
and trouble was sure to be bruin for the hardy reporter.
Few better illustrations of the discipline of a great news-
paper and its practically limitless capacity have been known.
If Mr. Hearst could only chain his bear to the North Pole,
now.

The longed for frost has at last supervened upon the uni-
formly warm nights of the winter so far, and as a resultant
the outlying shallow ponds and puddling holes, full of grass
seeds, loved of mallards, widgeon, gadwall and teal, have
been frozen solidly, forcing the birds inlo something like
regular flightB over the deeper ponds of the tule tracts. In
consequence the markets have been well stocked, and ama-
teurs have profited handsomely in good bags of fat birds
with which to delight acquaintances.

English snipe are plentiful about Collinsville, and on Boul.
din, but do not work well for some reason, rising in large
wisps and making long flights. Among the quails the slaugh-
ter has been general, the days being just suited for good
work by dogs, and the hunters being about keyel op after a
close season of diBUse of the gun.

A notable feature of the ducking season is the presence of
t anvas backs in numbers on the Suisun and along the lower
nart of Sherman Island. Some "cans" may generally be
looked for by October 10th, bnt as a rule only stragglers.
TMb year as many a3 thirty-one haye been killed by one gun
in a morning.

We venture to make one or two excerpts from a personal
note kindly sent by Mr. N. E. White of Sactamento. If the
vital weakness suggested by Mr. White exists, the sooner we
know the fact the better, in order that the defect may be
remedied at the earliest opportunity. We venture the guess,
however, that courts will construe the section of the code in
question as a whole, reading one word in the light of all
other words, germane to the matter. If that is done, there
seems to be no reason why the law should not serve its in-
tended purpose. In reference to the case against W. E.
Knight & Co. for having in possession deer skins from which
evidence of sex had been removed, Mr. White Bays:

I have about 5 minutes to spare, and 1 want to call
your attention to that deer Bkin case. I'm afraid the law
won't stiok. It says any person having deer skins in hia
possession from which evidence of sex has been removed,
etc is guilty.

This skin part is a recent addition to the law, but the fol-
lowing (and concluding) clause was not amended to conform
thereto, as it omits the word Bkins, and simply applies to
carcasses. In Bhort, if a men goes into court and says: — "I
had that skin in my possession: It is a doe skin, but the ev-
idence of sex has not been removed, as you can see. Sup-
pose the evidence is there, can he be convicted, and of what?
This is puzzling our DiBtrict Attorney, and he dces'nt 1 ope
to convict, as he says one of the skins secured is that of a
buck, wiih evidence of sex attached, and the o' her is of a
doe, whioh also shows i the uterus, although dried and shri-
veled.

I jnst call your attention to this in a hurry, and if yon
can make any suggestion to Diet. Alty. Bruner it would be
well. This is only a private note, hurriedly written and if
it contains the suggestion of an idea, use tbe idea yourself.

In relation to a lecent shooting trip Mr. White Fays: Mr.
Willis and I bad a phaBant afternoon's hunt. We found
pleDty of quail, but considerable chapparal as well. Still, we
bagged about 40 birds, notwithstanding we were out of prac-
tice and too soft for hill-work. I had only a puppy with me
in lien of a dog. but for her first time out she did verv well,
retrieving all my birds and showing good nose. But she
knew nothing about ranging, her efforts in that line having
been confined to a 40 foot town lot. I see Judge Post re-
ferred to her as a "fine Gordon." You have probably beard
her pedigree described a thousand times. It is something
like this: "Out of Bill Smith's black and tan bitch, which
he got from John Brown, to whom she was presented by a
man who worked for Tom Jones, whose son is said to have
imported ber sire and dam. The sire's breeding is more defi-
nite, only he is largely Irish. So, I don't see why my pup
might not be called anything else as well as a Gordon. How-
ever, she will probably die of old age before I get another
ohance at the birds, and in the meantime I ean be looking
out for another pup. My wife says it seems to her that I
am always raising some pup or other, and never have a hun-
tiug dog. And when I conie to look back over the last eight
years of my life I am forced to admit that she is about right.

The Winchester Eepeating Arms Company have the dis-
tinguished honor of having been awarded the grand prize at
the Paris Exposition, There were 33, 139 prizes of various
descriptions awarded to all exhibitors ia the following order
of merit: 1st or grand prizes, 903;"2nd or gold medals, 5,153;
3rd or silver medals, 9,690; 4th or bronze medals, 9,523; 5th
or honorable mentions, S.070. Of the first or grand prizes,
only one oame to Arnerioa for firearms or ammunition, and
that one was awarded to the Winchester Eepeating Arms
Company, a distinguished honor to feel proud of.

Deputy Game and Fish Commissioner Bogart seized about
a thousand deer hides at the railroad depot, Yreka, on Octo-
ber 29, sent there for shipment to this city, on acoount of be-
ing the hides of does, there being no evidence to show that
all were not doe hides. The objeot ia to stop the killing of
does, and the sale and transportation of their hides. Even
if the hides are of buokB, there muBt be evidence to show,
else they will be seized just the same, and the person riny-
ing, selling or transporting the same. is guilty of a 'misde-
meanor, as it is unlawful to kill, destroy or take any female
deer, elk, antelope, or mountain sheep at any time.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphippua.

SUMMARY.

The weather Bt present is all that could be desired for out-
door practice, and the athletes are taking advantage of the
fact.

The wheelmen and oarsmen are training assiduously for
Thanksgiving Day.

The bay anglers are thinking about giving up their sport
for the Winter month's.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

Cooley and McArthur took a ten-mile spin along the Cliff
House Beach last Sunday. Both men are now in excellent
condition and will make things rather lively in the boxing
tournament.

Several of the amateur athletes take exercise on the Ocean
Road.

Nearly every amateur in San Francisco was at the Bay
Distriot Track last Sunday forenoon. Upwards of thirty
men were stripped, Bunners, jumpers, walkers and shot
putters were to be seen practicing for their special events.

The Olympic team in charge of Pete Mclntyre, made an
excellent showing, and the team across the bay will need to
work hard to earn the greatest number of points at the com-
ing games.

An impromptu race of one hundred yards was run off; ath-
letes from the Olympic, Pacific, Golden Gate, California,
Acme and Young Men's Christian Association Athletic Clnbs
taking part in the race, which was scratch. S. V. Cassidy,
the Olympic champion, breasted the tape first, in In'.- sec
onds. W. J. Kenealy, of the same club finishing second two
yards behind. About fifteen started. Judging from the turn
of speed shown by the two first men it is safe to assert that
the University men will be "out of it" in the hundred on
Nov. 23th.

Captain Phil Moody, of the P A C, proved himself to be one
of the quickest starters at the track.

Tonng Frank O'Kane is still improving, and will soon be
rated as a scratch man. He ran several excellent trial heats
on Sunday morning.

Kortick, of the G G A C, exercised for the first time in sev-
eral Dion tin.

Archie Layton, the professional runner, ran a quarter in
fast time.

The Armburster Bros., George and Charles, made a first
elass showing against some of the more experienced sprin-
ters.

Peter Mclntyre and Martin Espaoosa, ran a mile in fair
time, finishing close together. Mclntyre is training Espano-
sa and thinks that tne young amateur will easily beat five
minutes on Thanksgiving Day.

Williams, of the O A C, is regarded as a sure winner of the
novice race. McDonald it is thought will come in second.

The Day District Traok was in very fine order and capital
time was made in several instances.

Coffin and Gafoey have both made up their minds not to
train for the November games. Jarvis will probably give an
exhibition walk for the purpose ot lowering the Pacific Coast
record for one mile.

J. F. Lwkin, the well known amateur fencer, is looked up.
on as a sure winner in the coming boxing tournament. He
will enter in the bantam clasB.

Billy Keneally says he will make a big effort to beat Kitch-
en in the heavy weight class.

As a general rule good long distance runners make good
boxers as far as wind is concerned, aDd Cooley, Espanosa
and McArthur should capture some of the prizes.

There is a slight possibility that the Fall games of the 0.
A. C, which are announced to come off on Thanksgiving
Day, may be postponed until the new groundu of the club are
finished. There will be horse racing at the Bay District
Track on that day, and most of the athletes dislike the idea
of having the games held at Berkeley; therefore, there is no
other alternative but to postpone the games. As quitea num-
ber of long and short distance runners have been in training
for some weeks past, it is possible that the 0. A . C. will help
them out in case the games are put off, by donating medals
for three or four races, which could be decided on the Uni-
versity cinder track at Berkeley. After all we think it would
be much better to postpone the regular games until Washing-
ton's Birthday, when the new track will be finished, and a
good many of the athletes coincide with us in this opinion.
The opening of the new Olympic grounds will be one of the
greatest events ever recorded in the annals of athletics on the
Pacific Coast. Each and every athlete will strive to improve
their former records, and we may conscientiously affirm that
several of the coast records after that day will be equal to, if
not better than the records made by the Eastern crack
athletes.

UNIVERSITY JOTTINGS.

Several members of the Bicycle Club will take part in the
joint meeting at Napa on Thanksgiving Day.

It is expected that Fred C. Clift will have a walk over in
the one mile walk. He is fine trim and will surely lower the
reoord, which is 8:17i.

The boys are all in fine condition for their coming field
day, and many of the college records stand in danger of be-
ing smashed. Several new men will make their debut on the
cinder path and their performances will be closely scrutinized
by the Olympic fraternity.

The cinder path will be in nice condition. It will receive
a thorough rolling the day previous to the games.

The pole vault will bring out Borne new men. Baldwin
and Clark will enter as before.

The one hundred yards and forty 'yards Olympic special
races will prove highly exciting, all the crack sprinters hav-
jug signified their intention of competing.

Bouse of the U. A. 0. will no doubt win the largest number
of medals. He is looked upon as the coming all round cham-
pion of the Pacific Coast.

The following is the official programme of the Fall Field
Day of the University of California, which will be held on
Saturday next, November 16th:

1 — Maiden Hundred.

2— Half-mile Bun.

3 — Standing High Jump.

4— Patting Shot.

5— Standing Broad Jump.

JOTTINGS FROM THE EAST.

T. Sherman, the orack amateur heel and toe walker of the
New Jersey Athletic Club, will shortly take his departure for
Canada, where he has been offered a lucrative position.

On Sunday tlast I. A. Ten Eyck, the oarBman, defeated
Harry Vail of Canada in a three-mile race over the National
Course on the Schuylkill. He won by ten lengths and made
the fastest time on the course, 20m 15s.

Frank F, Dole, George Littlewood's former backer, an-
nounces through the Sporting Life, London, Eog., his readi-
ness to back Dan Herty against Charley Rowell or any other
man in the world to race for 142 consecutive hours for any
amount. Or he will join in a sweepstakes of $500, the win-
ner to take all, and the gate money to be divided in accord-
ance with Astly belt conditions. Race to take place in either
England or America.

The Missouri Amateur Athletic Club's annual handicap
steeplechase, four miles, will take place over the regular
steeplechase course at the Fair Grounds on Thaukseiving
Day, Nov. 28th, at 3 p. m. The event i^ open to all eligible
amatenrs, and the prizes will consist of a gold watch to first,
a diamond pin to second, gold medal to third, and silver
medal to fourth. The entrance tee is $1, which must accom-
pany the entry. The race will take place rain or shine.

IN THE SURF.

There was a slight improvement in the attendance at the
Burf baths during the week.

The Terrace Club swimmers gave their usual exhibition on
Sunday afternoon.

The members of the Lurline Club practice every after-
noon.

Ed Finley, C. Pless, J. Hardy, E. Coffee and D. Batteau,
all of the Ariel Rowing Club, swam a race of fifty yards at
Hunter's Point on Sunday last. Finley won by two yards.

AT THE OARS.

Owing to the roughness of the bay on Sunday last, only a
few of the orewB mustered up courage enough to take a spin.

The following crew from the Ariel Cloh left their slip with
the intention of visiting the Dolphins, but owing to the rough
water abandoned the idea and tnok a spin to the Sugar R -
finery: J. J. Larkey, H. Pless, H, Tank, L. Nunan and E.
Zimmer.

Crew No. 2 of the Ariel*--, rowed to Hunters Point early on
Sunday morning.

C. Lipp, of the Ariel Club, took a row up Mission Creek in
jbe club's Whitehall boat.

Leander Stevenson and William H. Growney, contemplate
doubling up and issuing a challenge to any two oarsmen on
the Pacific Coast.

The Ariel Club is singularly fortunate in being able to name
a crew for each of thp four events at the regatta which will
come off at Sansalito on Thanksgiving Day. The clob mem-
bers are particularly excited over the crew picked for the
fonr-oared shell race, and each nod every member feels con-
fident that the ARC colors will reach the finishing point
first

The South End Clnb members have been rather inactive
of late, and it is a rare sight to see one of the clnb boats on
the water.

Charley Lonp, of the Pioneers, took his usual spin on
Sunday. The easv and skilful manner in which he handles
the oars, proves that he is an oarsman of the first quality.

At the laflt regnlar meeting of the Ariel RowiLgClub, the
following champion crew were selected: — Henry Tank, bow;
Harrv Brown and Fred Smith, waist; Al Branch, stroke. The
club will back this crew against all comers.

The Bohemian Boat Club has recently baen organized at
North Beach, A. Doperu, secretary.

Stansbnry, of Australia, has challenged the world to row
over the Paramatta River for £1,000.

A match race in Whitehall boats for $25 a Bide, between
William McCarthy and Jame^ Qnisley, took place on Sunday
last. The coarse was from the foot of Second Street to Mis-
sion Rook and return. MoCarthy won the race.

There is but little prospect of any amateur races being held
on Thanksgiving Day. The oarsmen are all interested in the
professional regatta and the amateurs are unable to make the
necessary arrangements for the holding of their races.

The chief race on November 2Sth, will be the four-oared
Bhell race. The contest for first honors will be between the
Ariel and Pioneer crews.

Henry Peterson has a fair show of winning the single scull
race.

At the last meeting of the Pionf er Rowins Club the follow-
ing officers were elected: — P J McDonell, president; Edward
Heenan, vice-president; John T Sullivan, treasurer; Robert
Espy, secretary; Michael Long, captain; M Stokes, Lieut,

Delegates to Pacific RowiogAssociation:— Patrick Brannar,
R J Espy and J P McDonald, trustees; Louis White, Jas.
Brannan and John McDonnell.

THE WHEELMEN.

It is reported that another long distance professional bicj-
cle race will be held in the course of a couple of weeks. We
hope the report is false at least for the sake of the nderf, and
we can hardly credit that they will be foolish enongh to en-
gaee in another swindling match. The win' ers of the last
race were cheated out of their money and this fact sbonld
prove a warning to others.

We notice bv the Los Angeles Weekly Bulletin, that the
Los Angeles wheelmen will nave the moBt elegant clnb house
on the Pacific Coast when their new one now in course of
decoration is finished. This club is indebted to the League
to the amount of $100, and it would have been considered
more honorable on the pait of the club to have liquidated
thiB debt before paying out money for a new club house.

There are quite a number of racing men pradiciDg in the
park during the moonlight nights, for the Napa meeting.

Prominent among the novices who practice nightly in the
Park are A. Marshall and L. G. Rowell, of the BOW, both
of whom have developed remarkable sporting powers.

There will be a moonlight run of the San Francisco Bicy-
ole Clnb to San Jose to-night.

Robert M.Welch, ex-Chief Consul of|California,and a mem-
ber of the Bay City Wheelmen, hud a Bido fall at 23rd Street
and Potrero Avenue last Saturday evening, which broke his
right arm at the elbow, He had intended meeting Mr. Bur-
mesher and riding in his company to Santa Cruz by moon-
light.

Fred Ross Cook, also of the B C W, was standing opposite
the cyclery at the Park the same evening, holding a tundtm
Safety, when a cart with two men in it struck him and
kuocked him down. -One of the wheels passed completely
over his body, fortunately, however, ioflioting no serious in-
juries. The tracks of the new cable prevented the cart from
using the street.

The meeeting of the B C W called to consider the CflseB of
the men who participated in the amatenr race at the Me-
chanics' Pavilion resulted in suspending tbe men f om all
rights and privileges of the club for a number of months.
They i ave also been suspended from all California tracks for
the period of one ye-ir. '1 his will probably serve as a warn-
irjo *o otr>er° *o keop clpar of "fake" professional shows.

it. a. sm>iiiw ut ilia B. U. W. and a member of the Na-
tional Racing Board, will go to Cuicago tsi o tly to attend a
meeting of that body.

The names of tbe new snfetv riders are legioD, but the
names of some of them will be 'Dennis" if thiy r'on't learn
to keep the right side of the road. One of theai (and on a
safety, tco) was returning fiom the Cliff House the other
evening on the wrong aide of the road, when he r*n iato Mr.
C. A Howard of the B. C. W., who was on an ordinary.
Mr. Howard escaped unhuit, but the s°fetv "v»n will have a
new front wheel to buy and a number of bruiiea by which to
remember — "to keep to tbe right."

a fine dinner, which had been ordered beforehand. After
resting for an hour thev started on their homeward journey
via Haywards, reaching Oakland before dusk, |after having
spent a very enjoyable day.

The next run of the club will be to San Leandro od Sun-
day, November 17th, when the boys will be treated to a tine

The club baa attached the '80 to their name to distinguish
hemselves from a club that existed Borne years ago.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The Lnrtine Swimming, Boating and Athletic Club has
now over 200 names on its membership list.

The Pacific Athletic Club will give a grand benefit exhibi
tion at its clab looms on Mission street, near Twentieth, (he
last week in November. Several of the leading professional
boxers hive promised to apoear and an excellent programme
is assured. After Christinas the club will be reorganized
and will move from its present quarters to a fine building
now in course of erection on Tenth street, near Market.
There are about tbree uundred members m the olub, but
wheu the club reorganizes the membership will probably be
limited to about oue hundred and fifty. Great care will be
exercised iu the acceptance of members, as it is intended that
the clab will start in on a new basis. Only gentlemen of
good social standing will be elected.

Tie benefit tendered to Professor Louis Gerichfen at the
San Francisco Turn Verein Hall, 323 Tark street, list Sun-
day evening, was a great succesB. The programme was ex-
cellent.

The amateur members of the Golden Gate and California
Athletic Clubs are still growliDg because there is evidently
no prospect in store for them.

Now that the rain is over the workmen will have a chance
to finish the new Olympic grounds.

The entries for the amateur boxing tournament of the
Olympic Athletic Cl:ib dosed on Tuesday evening last. The
tournament will commence on Thursdiy evening next, the
14th, and will be conti iuel for three days. Judging from
the entry list, some good boxing may be expected, All the

The regular monthly exhibitions of the Pacific Athletio
Club was successfully held in the presence of a large number
of members on Thursday evening, October 31st, at the head-
qnarters of the club MisBiou Kink, Mission Street near 20th.
Th3 programme c msist >d entirely of boxing. The following
is a summary of t' e eventB:

1. RearJoo anl Reynoldson five rounds. Both m^n provi d
themselves to be scientific and many hard blows were ex-
changed. Honors were about even.

2. Regan and McAuliffe (a brother to the well known local
pugilist) three rounds. Young McAuliffe proved that he can
dodge as well as hit, and with proper training should make
his mark, althoagh he can never equal in any way his big
brother Jne. Regan also made a good showing but Mc-
Auliffe was the more clev. r of the two.

3. Sullivan and Hogun, three rounds. Hogan being in
better condition than his opponent, had the best of the col-
test.

4. Woods and Greaney, three rounds. Woods made a
very creditable Bhowing against the professional, but of
course, Greany never attempted to do his best at any time.

5. R-ardou and Dudy, five rounds. This was an interest-
ing bout and ended slightly in favor of Reardon.

6. Heaketh and Sheeban. ThiB six-round ma'ch proved to
be the event of the evening, and in the fifth round both men
were so exhausted that they fell through the ropes. Hesketh
was out of condition, and came very nearly being knocked
out. In future he will train when be expects to meet Buch a
man ae flheehao. Both men were repeatedly app'auded for
their gamenesa. The mutch wound up with p tints about
even. Hesketh, with proper handling, might develops into a
very clever boxer, hut be nhould remain in the amateur ranks,
where, after nil. he will find more inducements. During the
coarse ot the evening President C. Giry made a speeoh. in
which ho thanked the members of the press for their kindness
towarda the club since its organization.

THE FARM.

Something for Poulterers.

An excellent thing to feed poultry, especially hens and pul-
lets, is parched orn. Ii mikes but little difference how
black it is so that the grains retain their shape. The active
principal of the charred corn is the charcoal, on ingredient
that it is put up in every egg food and conditioD powder that
is made. It aets on the secretions of the liver and diges'ioo,
invigorates nnd renews the blood. Try a little parched corn
and notice the wholesome effect.

Pure Crosses Are Not Dunehills.

It is a mistaken idea that pure cropses are dongbills. It is
merely the cry of the fancier, who fears that the farmers pay
attention to cropseB the pure breds will receive a blow. The
whole matter is just this: A farmer cannot afford to pay the
extravagant prices asked by the fancier. He can buy pure
stock that is off color, I elow standard, and everything but
good body, and by the judicious selection of a cockeral of an-
other breed secure a class that will be worth twice what the
strictly pure article would be. A dunghill is the result of
haphazard crossing and reerossing without regarl to object
For instance, a cross of a limited layer upon one noted for a
big record would less the benefit. But reverse the cross and
there would be an improvement. Again, crossing heavy fowls
does not improve their condition, but put a light cock to a
heavv hen and there is at once a quick growing chicken of
plump carcass. This is judicious crossing, and does not run
in the line of dunghills whatever.

Another point iu favor of crosses, and against the pure
bred is, that for snorkel purposes the crossed bird is more
profitable. Take, for instance, the Brahmas.^ The chioVs
mature very slowly, but when they do reach a marketable
age they posses a good body. A white Leghorn cock or cock-
eral, however, crossed upon the Brahma hen gives rapid
growth without taking from the plumpness of the birds.
Purebreds have been reduced to flne points— too fine. In
order to get exactness of feather, there Iibr been a sacrifice to
form, and the constitution is weakened. But by crossing the
health of the bird iB established. Therefore let not the
farmer be deluded. Buy pure bred Btock but cross them, and
better results are sure to come. — Homestead.

Number and Value of Milch Cows.

The census of 1830 gave the number of milch cows in the

Uuited States at 12,443,120. The agricultural department

this year, in its report gives the number as taken from

the assessers' bioks made up in the spring of 1889 as

15,298 625 This shown an increase of 2,755,505 in the num-
ber of cows, which is without doubt a little larger increase
relatively than there is in the population of the country.

Country store keepers and dealers in butter, dairy farmers,

creamery and cheese factory men, who have the products of
the dairy to sell, will get a wider range of view and a broader
idea of production and value by the following table, which
gives the number, average urice and aggregate value for each

The immense amount of capital in dairying is made up in
the cost of farms and buildings, in the cost of hay, grain and
feed, utensils, imolemeuts, young etock growing up to cows,
besides the $360,000,000 worth of cows.

It is no longer profitable to rush into the dairying business
with scrub cows and worse convenience. The average far.
mer must also get out of the old rut of letting the cows go
dry five or six months of the year. Weigh their milk and
find out which is paying and which is being kept at aloes.
One cannot expect to prosper if half the cows milked don't
give milk enough to pay for the hay they eat. One of the
first "I'd 'I points iu milk production is a healthy cow.
Then give bet all the nutritious food she will digest and as-
similate, plenty pnre water, and free acoess to salt at b!1
timte If you once allow the milk to shrink to any appreci-
able extent y-Mi o.uinot regain the Ground that is lost by after
feeding. Tl t*> milk, uuder certain conditions, will become
tainted in a ehort time is a well known fact. There are
many Cannes for this. The first and most common oauss is
the animal o'lor, whioh is an aotlve agent in producing taint
and hasteniog decomposition. When milk is warm and ex-
posed to tho air this odor or gas takes the form of a vapor,
and pauses out very rapidly; but if the milk after being
drawn from the cow is rapidly oooled down with oold waW,
or shut away fr">m the air, this odor oondenses in the milk
and cannot bo removed by any subsequent aeration.

Export Trade in Beef-
In their weekly review of trade, K. G. Dun & Co., empha-
size the enormous expansion of the exports of beef:

The unprecedented movement of cattle'and fresh beef to
Eugland attracts much attention, the exports haviDg been
over ninety thousand head of cattle, forty million pounds of
fresh beef and thirty-four mi lion poundB of cured or canned
beef within i hree mo ths, ending with August. With the
National steamship line engaged in transporting cattle rath-
er than passengers, this m ivement seems likely to increase
largely, and it is noteworthy that the export trade, though
barely maintained in some important branches, steadily
broaden ( by large increase in minor items not hitherto im-
ported.

Even at the present exceedingly high rates of ocean trans-
portation, when it is more profitable to carry beef than pas-
sengers, there is a large profit in shipping cattle It is on-
ly a question of time when the competition of ocean steam-
ers will take the monopoly out of the hands of the packers
and reduce the price, and then breeders of good cattle will
get the premium to which they are entitled.

Decline of British Agriculture.

According to the latest statistics, if we consider only the
acreage and the amount of live stock, English agriculture
may be considered on the decline. The decline in the area
in wheat from last year was over 115,600 acres. There is a
slight increase in the acreage devotei to barley and oats, but
a decrease of over 10.000 acres in potatoes. The decline in
the area of wheat since 1S82 i- 554.371 acres or nearly 20 per
cent. There is a decrease of 545,362 acres in the area of bar-
ley since 1879. The decreased acreage of wheat represents
about 16,000,000 bushels. Cittle have fallen off in number
sicca 18S7 from 6,441,268 to 6,140,045. There is an increase
in the number of sheep from 15,863,211 in 18S7 to 16.146.249
but a falling off in the number of lambs from 9,812 519 to
9,770,8S0 this year. The total falliog off in live stock since
1887 is over 327,000 head. But there is an increase of 311,-
615 in pigs. There is also a great decline in the cultivation
of hops. The largest number of cattle owned by Eugland
was in 1886, when they numbered 6,646 683. In 186S she
had her largest number of sheep, 30,711 396, or nearly doub-
le what she has now. The falling off on the whole is not
large, but shows a general dec ine.

Animal Nutrition.

Prof. Sanborn, iD an article io tbe National Stockman and
Farmer reviewing the Bobject of ancient times and their sup-
port of immense armies while the j)eop!e h^d only the crudest
implements of tillage, and calling attention to the vast popu-
lations of China, Japan and India, upon limited areas using
only the rudest implements of tillage, holds that "the main
key to the understanding of these facts, without which we
would be forced to suppose a very high type of agriculture,
and indeed higher than till of the data warrant us in believ-
ing existed, rests in the fact that these nations raised com-
paratively few cattlo and fewer horses. With increased den-
sity of population comes decreased r. lative density of cattle.
This is trae not only of ancient civilzations, with their crude
implements and lack of cast iron which is a wftnt almost re-
mediless to a higher order of development of machinery, tut
also of modern civilization; this cannot fail (from present in-
dicadonp) to be true in the near fut"re of thi-i coun ry. It
is no rash prophecy to assert that babies will increase in the
future in tnis countiy faster than calves; that the margin
that exists between prodoction and consumption will grow
less and less until they meet, and at last consumption will
exceed production, and be-f of South America will press it-
s -If upoo tbe Atlantic coast, provided that the present rate
of meat consumption is maintained"

The subject of animal nutrition is then discussed as fol-
lows: "The reason that meat production decreases with in-
creased population lies in the fact that the area required for
the maintenance of a man upon meat U enormous compared
to the area required in vegetable production for his support.
This Hods illustration in such data as the following; The
Missouri college farm has been yielding to me an average of
forly buBhels of wheat per acre, or nineteen hundred pounds
of tne digestible materials in the wheat. As steers are ordi-
narily kept, three to five acres are used to keep one a year,
from which a growth of not over three hundred pounds is
averaged. Of this growth about forty per cent, is water,
while of the dry material still left, a part is bone, and some
waste, tallow and gristle, so far as food consumption i- con-
cerned. At least there is rescued for food consumption from
twenty-one to twenty-six pounds per acre in lieu of the nine-
teen hundred pounds from wheat, when ground whole. The
earth is taxed heavily to sapport a meat-eating nation. ^In
the above rough calculation no credit is given the wheat for
the nutrition found in the straw.

"These calculations may be regarded as belonging to the
curious side of the qnestion, yet they should serve as a stim-
ulus to arouse us to a more critical Btudy of a subjeot so im-
portant in its relations.

"If we look at the subject in its more direct bearings, we
are at once met by the faots brought out by the experiments
of Sir John B. Lawes, and by general feeding experiments,
and amplified by Joseph Harris at the Centennial Exposi-
tion at Philadelphia, that ninety per cent, of the food fed an
animal is used in running the machine, in supporting exist-
ence, while only ten per cent, goes to form growth. This
pound of growth is gained at great oost.

"The question arises as lo whether the cost can be greatly
reduced. It used to be the case that the old steam powers
were fearfully wasteful of fuel. Very little of the heat gener-
ated was actually used in productive work. Studies of in-
vestigators have so far perfected the eteam power that tbe
losses have been reduced to such an extent that land and
ooean transportation have been greatly cheapened. While
not run by mechanical forces, animals, like machines, differ
in their power to utilize the forces wrapped ud in the mate-
rials upon whioh t bey feed. Maobioes are perfected by me-
ohanical forces, animals by physical forces — breeding, eto.
Tbe machine is necessarily more restricted in the range of
its possible improvement than the animal.

"In the work of perfecting the animal, I have advocated a
procedure that does not seem to impress any one; or, at least,
I have noticed no seconding of the method, and know of no
one adopting it. This consists of tbe troublesome and profit-
able method of testing the fond required for a pound of
prowth. Everything else being equal, the bull that would
make a pound of growth on nioe pounds of food would be
selected instead of the one that required ten or eleven
pounds.

"Would such a test pay? Let ns see: A herd of cattle of

moie steers. Ten dollars a ton for hay "would mean $160 a
winter, saying nothing abont a summer, a year. This thought
might be extended, but need not be.

"I believe that a great advance lies along this line of wort,
and when made, as it will be by some one, will constitute the
greatest and most profitable improvement made since the
times of the fathers of the breeding art."

Diseased Meat-

takes pride in publishing to the world that his stock is as
good as he can afford to buy.

"It is hoped that every sheep breeder will keep accurate
records of his fiook, that he may satisfy the inquiries of buy-
ers, establish the representations as to pedigrees, improve his
flock by getting meritorious stock and Rive btjcd. sheep the
care that well-bred animals deserve. In this way his pro-
fits will be largely increased, his pleasure in raising stock be
assured and the satisfaction gained of being classed as a bree-
der of thoroughbreds."

Dr. Behrend gives us an article in the Nineteenth Century
and shows that disease may be communicated to man from
the use of animal food — that tulercular disease, for instance,
may be produced by eating the meat of animalB affected with
laDg trouble. There is consumption among the cattle as well
as among men, and this dread disease may be caused not
only directly by certain parasites being carried iuto the lungs,
but indirectly by eating the flesh of affected cattle. But how
shall the presence of disease in cattle be known so as the pub-
lic may avoid tbe danger? Here lies the chief difficulty.
The disease cannot usually be recognized until after the ani-
mal is killed and exposed in the market. Dr. Carpenter
declares that SO per cent, of the meat used in the London
market is affected by tubercular disease. Formerly it was
thought that the cutting out of the diseased portions of the
meat was all that was required and that the other parts cnild
be Bafely exposed for sale. It is now ascertained that the
disease of one part affects the whole of tbe body and every
part of the animal is then capable of transmitting tubercular
disease to man. But how is the public to be guaranteed
against the use of diseased meat? Proper inspection in onr
local markets might result in destroying any animal the
lungs of which had become affected. But what about the
foreign moat from Australia and South America? "What of
tbe canned meats or the sausages or tbe smoked beef, mutton
or pork? "Who shall guard us against these sources of dan-
ger, these ever active causes of the spread of tuberculous dis-
ease? Dr. Behrend in his article points out the curious
circumstance that the sanitary regulations of the Mosaic code
are thoroughly in accord with the latest conclusions of the
most distinguished experts in sanitary science.

clay, so as to allow the burning rags to smoulder. Mr. Cot-
tle sayB he tried the exterminator on a colony of atout one
hundred squirrels a week atio, and baa not seen one aboot

Brought Him in Debt.

The following queer story of a transaction between a farm-
er and a butcher in one of the counties near San Francisco,
is told by the Butchers' and Live Stock Gaz.-tte: Mr. Jones
sold a bullock to Mr. Lazaras for $16, to bd taken and paid
for when fat. "When Mr. Lazarus came for the anima', Jones
said he would like to have a fore-quarter for his own use.
Mi. Lazarn.3 willingly accepted the order, and after the bul-
lock whs slaughtered, delivered tbe meat. A few days later
Jones went to town, called on Lizarus, and as a preliminary
to a settlement, asked for his bill. "Dot's all right, Mr.
JoDes: I hif the bill already made out. Mr. Jones reach

Mr. Jones, Dr , to Jacob Lazarus —

To one-quarter of beef, 185 pounds, at 10c $18 50

By credit, one bullock 16 00

Balancedue $2 50

"Good heavens, Lazarus, you get three-quarters of the
beef, the hide, tallow and offal, and bring me in debt $2 50!
How's that, old man?"

"Ah, Mr. Jones, that beef was cheap at 10c a pound."
"But, Lazarus, you only gave me $16 for the whole bul-
lock."

"Ah. but J-^nes, dot's pizness, pizness, do you see?"
"Well, Lazarus, next time I have a fat bullock I'll kill it
mveelf, use one-quarter and throw away the rest, and then I
will save $2 50. You see?"

"Ab!ah!but dot's not pizness; farmers should not be
butchers— dot's bad."

Pedigreed Sheep.

How to Choose a Heavy Draft Horse-

A French reterinarien {M. Minot), in his book "Apprecia-
tion of the Horse," gives the following directions for the
choice of heavy draft horses: The choice of a heavy draft
horBe is a great deal easier than that of a race horse; yet it is
important to know how to distinguish the best, strongest,
most enduring, those who would feed well, those that are
fiery, and those that are slow. The draft horse derives bis
power from several causes — the development of those parts
which constitute bulk, the energy of its muscular action, and
the firmness and hardiness of its organs. The exterior char-
acteristics of a good heavy draft horse are a large, deep chest,
straight shoulders a little inclined, flesuy, a thick body yet
not too much belly, straight loin, the hind-quarters a little
depressed, thick through tbe thighs, and a loog perineum.
The horse that has a long perineum prolonged do*u from the
anus, and thick, short muscles of the thighs is a very Btrong
and good draft animal. The walk of a heuvy draft horse is
immaterial. There are draft horses that are quick, and there
are those that are slow. The light, quick horses are good for
farm work where the ground is light and even; the heavy-
Blow horses, with firm tread, are excellent for new, sticky
ground, and on had, uneven roads. A horse for drawing
loads to be well formed ought to be high in front, having high
and projecting withers, large chest, front legs strong and well
spread apart, back and loins straight, hind-quarterB a little
depressed, mutcular, short in flank, large sinews. With such
a shape a draft horse is solid and able to resist all the knocks
from uneven roads and weights which presses upon it when
going down a hill. To be too fiery is a faolt in a horse draw-
ing heavy loads on an uneven road. In this case a strong
and slow horse is better; it will resist fatigue more and do
more service.

There are many good men in this world even to-day, who
have so much confidence in their own skill and integrity,
that they refuse to register anything they produce. Espec-
ially is this true of sheep and hogs; and ytt the Register,
modern institution thoagh it be, is one of tne most valuable
and desirable known to man. Everything kept for breeding
purposes should be re igiously entered in the personal and
private register, and if possible, also in the public and print-
ed one. It is desirable to know that all breeding animals
have nothing but puro blood, and though this is ensured and
guaranteed on farms wheie none else are allowed to come,
still there are good, better and best in all flocks and herds,
and it is only by registration that these can be traced.

Mortimer Levering, an authority on Shropshires, says in
the N. E. Homestead:

"Pedigree is alike an advantage to the one who buys, the
one who owns and to the sheep itself. Taking these in their
order: "When a breeder contemplates buying a ram to im-
prove his stock, as should be the aim of evfery sheep reiser,
he goes to a breeder who pays strict attention to the breed-
ing of the kind of sheep he intends to buy. If he seeB an
animal that pleases him, he aBks: How is it bred? and if the
pedigree can be Bhown that gives as the sire and dam ani-
mals well known as prize winners, or from prize Btock, he is
satisfied to pay a big price.

"Those who own sheep and have stock for sale, will 6nd
that registered stock can be sold for nearly three times tbe
price of gradts. It is a well known fact that no matter what
a breeder may say regarding the quality or indivijual merit
of his flock, or the statement that 'they are full blood, but
cannot be recorded, as no pedigrees have been kept of the
different animals,' he cannot isll them for half the price they
■would bring if they were recorded. The average price of
pure-bred sheep, without pedigrees entitling them to registry,
is $8. and the average price of registered sheep is $35. The
one kind eat just as much as the other, and it takes about
the same amount of time and labor to raise them. Then it is
certainly a great advantage to the breeder to be able to record
Lis flock by having a reliable pedigree for each sheep.

"Pedigreed sheep undoubtedly get better care than their
common~bred relatives and fare better, as their pedigrees
show that they can boaBt of superb lineage. From the time
a pedigreed lamb is dropped, its extra c«e is marked, for if
the shepherd has a choice pedigreed breeding ewe, he will
ascertain to a day when she will lamb and if the weather is
cold and stormy, that lamb will never be left on frozen
ground, but will be wrapped in an overcjat and warmed near
afire. No matter what time of the night it makeB its debut
on that farm from that hour it is watched, fed and especially
oared for. Hundreds of such lambs, when kept for show
and breeding purposes, are not permitted to get a drop of
rain or snow on their fleece. Then again in the mating,
care is taken when breeding pedigreed animals to avoid too
elose inbreeding and to ubo such sires as have well-establish-
ed records as good individual or prize-winners. A breeder

Foothill Apples.

M. V. Doe of Nimshew sends ns, in answer lo our request,
some facts regarding the profits in producing fruit in this
country. His land is in the foothills near Nimshew, at an
altitude of 2,470 feet. The soil is not as bard to till or keep
free from weeJs as much of the land in the valley parts of
Butte:

"I give you some facts as to the cost of producing the
fruit here in the hills and also the profits made from the
fruit grown. I select the apple to start with. Plowing one
acre, $4; pruning, S10: cultivating and harrowing, $4; pick-
ing and packing, $40; hauling to market (Chico) $30; mak-
ing a total of $83. The boxes cost 20 cents each, which
makes $258 for the boxes, or $346 for the tutal expense, per
acre, of eighty-sis bearing trees. Now we give what we re-
ceive for all this trouble and expense without counting the
land, the trees and the time of waiting for them to come to
maturity. Now I take the Ben Davis; the tree is healthy, a
guod grower and a prolific bearer. The fruit is very showv
and a good late apple. I had trees that bore more poundB
of apples than this, but I will take an average amount. In
the first place we set eighty-six trees to the acre. Now fif-
teen boxes of fifty pounds each, or 750 pounds to the tree,
amounts to 64,500 pounds to the acre. This at 1J cents per
pound makeB $967.50. From this must be deducted the
taxes and the interest on the valuation of the land, and it is
plain to be seen why so many of our big wheat-growers are
setting so much of their land to fruit trees. There are other
fruits that pay as well or better than apples.

"For a second fruit we select figs. The cultivation is a-
bout the same except for pruning, which is less than half
the cost for apples, j have one tig tree of the purple varie-
ty that had an enormjus crop after the birds had destroyed
the greater part of tbe first crop. I gathered and dried 567
pounds of the dried fig-*. This at the market price in San
Franc:sco at only 3 Ctnts a pound loose in cotton sacks
would bring $17.01 per tree, which would be $1,452.86 per
acre of eighty-six trees. I have 300 year-old Smyrna trees
and if they yield in proportion to the porple figs I shall need
some other method of getting them to market besides haul-
ing them on a wagon, and my little orchard is but a speck
in a large tract of country that is susceptible of like results."
— Oroville Register.

Notes-

Too many barn-yards are nothing but cesspools, breeding
questionable odors, if not pestilence. With no drainage
piovided, the liquid manure gravitates toward natural earth
depressions, which are very often under the stable floor or
about the sills, and there the collected filth breeds its mis-
chief. By all means have good drainage about the cowbarns.
The odors generated from stagnated filth are quickly absorbed
by the freshdrawn milk, and milk thus tainted is "absolutely
poisonous.

Good uats are clean, hard, dry, sweet, heavy, plump, fu'l
of floor and rattle like shot. They have a clean and almost
metalic luster. Each oat in a well-grown sample is nearly of
the same size. There are but few small or imperfect grains.
The hardpressureof the nail on an out shoo Id leave little or no
mark. The kernel, when pressed between the teeth, should
clip rather than tear. The skin should be thin. The color
of the oat iB not very material, but white oats are generally
thinner in the skin than black.

Probably tha best application that can be made to keep flies
from wounds in a horse is a one per cent solution of carbolic
acid. This will not keep the fliea from troubling the sore, but
will have a tendency to prevent a growth to proud flesh, and
will keep the lacerated portions in a healthy condition, caus-
ing the wound to heal much more readily than it would were
the, carbolic acid not used. An application of a mixture con-
sisting of one part carbolic acid crystals to ten parte of sweet
oil will prove more effective than the solution above named,
bb it will be retained longer. A little medicament applied to
a wound will also keep the flieBaway.

Gentlemen: I look upon horses ibe same as human beings. They say that a horse haR no soul. I
dont't believe that is possible. It does not seem to me that so true, brave and noble an animal as a horse,
after having spent a life of toil and drudgery, will die, and that Is the end, I feel like thanking everyone
who does a hind act for the horse family, and for that reison. If for no other, I take the opportunity of
thanking you for having invented a medicine that brings as much comfort to them as I am sure your
CELEBRATED TABLETS do. Mr. Wm. McClosson, the foreman of my stable, tells me that he has never
tried anything in his long experience that gives such relief to a sore horse as the wash prepared from
your mediciue.

Hoping for the sake of the horse family that every horse owner in the land will try it, I remain,

Yours truly, John Spl&n.

California has the Yearling Stallion Record, the Two-Year-Old
Stallion Record, and the Three-Year-Old Record of

the World.

The Greatest Days' Racing Ever Witnessed in the United States.
What California Climate Can Do for Horses.

In the issue of October 19th of this year ('Grim,:' in his
GoBBip department, had the following paragraph:

Since onr last issue Axtell has made another new record,
the present one being for three-year-olds, 2:12, but in mak-
ing this he also establishes a new Rtallion record for all ages.
The cutting was done at Terra Haute, Indiana, on Friday,
October 11th. With good weather here there are at least two
horses that can beat Axtell's record, and I ODly hope my East-
ern readers will not think I am puffing California, for there
is a chance that before tbis copy may reach them tbat not
only the three-year-old record will be beaten, but that the
stallion record will be rubbed out.

The assumption was warranted, as it was an open secret
that Sunol could go the distance whenever called upon, and
Palo Alto, 2:13$, was also known to be very fast, in fact, if it
had not been for Senator Stanford, Axtell's record would have
lasted exactly twenty-four hours. On October 12th Sunol
was started for the three-year-old Btake on the first day of the
Trotting Horse Breeders' Meeting, and there were not ten
persons on the grounds but what felt confident that the filly
eould have beaten Axtell's 2:12; as it was she went to the
quarter in 36 seconds, to the half in 1:11}, and came home
the last half in 1:04J, making the mile in 2:15|. ThatSeualor
Stanford has a pride in his horses is only natural, and he de-
lights in showing bis friends what the Palo Alto horses
can do. On the Saturday that his entiy walked over
for the stake there was a train travelling West-
ward, carrying a number of his Senatorial confreres
who would undoubtedly have taken great delight in witness-
ing Sunol lower the world's record for three-year-olds, and it
was to afford that pleasure to his frieDds that determined the
Senator to postpone the great trotting event of the year until
tbe following week. The elements were against the well-laid
plans, however, and the rain poured in such torrents tbat the
Directors put off the stake races until November 9th.

The paragraph quoted above ha9 caused a great deal of
comment from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and a num-
ber of so-called sporting journals have seen fit to deride
the supposition that 2:12 could by any possible meaos
be rubbed out by a three-year-old. The writers were
only "pencil shoversr"and know nothing whatever about
California, its horses or its climate. Among the worst
of the lot is one who should know better, his education and
experience having fitted him for thoughts of a liberal nature,

and he is not supposed to be biased by the mean little pre-
judices that warp the mind of the bigot. His writings sre
well known to all horsemen, and the articles from the pen of
"Aurelius" are read with avidity by all who are Btudents of
the trotting horse. It is true there are many who do not
believe in what he writes, but he is brilliant in his theories,
and the lover of the horse devours his articles much as a
orowd will listen to a lawyer who is magnetic, even although
he be defending a murderer; or as a congregation will harken
to a popular minister, and then take no stock in what he has
said.

In the last number of the Horse and Stable that able writ-
er takes up almost two columns of that valuable paper in
trying to prove tbat as Sunol received a front page cut for
lowering the record at Fresno, that Axtell should have had a
cut and seven pageB in the Breeder and Sportsman for his
performance at Terra Haute. Aurelius evidently wants to
show how much he knows about running a newspaper, but
then outsiders are all alike, they know it all. This paper is
devoted to the horse breeding interests of the Paci6c Slope,
and affairs that happen in the East are of secondary consid-
eration unless California horses play a prominent part there-
in.

As stated before, the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders
Association elected to have the final day of their meeting on
Saturday, Nov. Dtb, a day that will long be memorable in the
trotting annals of America.

The announcement that Suucl would start in the Stanford
Stake to beat ber own record of 2:13$, and that Palo Alto
2:13f would also start to beat his record, occasioned some
twelve hundred persons to assemble at the Bay District
Track.

The weather was all that could be desired, excepting a lit.
tie too much wind from the northwest, but even that died
away to a considerable extent while the records were being
smashed. For fear that some of our Eastern readers may
take exception to the officials of the day, we give them in
full: J. H. White, President of the P. C. V. H. B. A., Hon
Frank H. Coomb3 and A. K. Grim, were the judges for the
day. C. W. Smith, owner of Abbottsford, R. T. Carroll, one
of the Directors of the Association, and A. B. Spreckles,
known by reputation all over the country, were tbe timers-

The Secretary, Mr. Wilfred Page, acted as cierk of the day.
There were many prominent horsemen from the Eastern
States present, among whom were W. H. Crawford of Lexing-
ton, Ky., Ed Bithers, the trainer and driver for Jerome I.
Case of Racine, Wis., and L. A. Davis, the owner of Boy
Wilkes. Ou the evening before the race all of these gentfe-
men, and in fact, many others, made quite a number of wag-
ers that old Father Time would prove the victor in Sunol's
case, and it is to be presumed that the backers of the Scythe-
bearer got all they wanted, for on the day of the race.there
was but little money put up.

Mr. Marvin had been prevailed on to have Sunol clipped,
and she presented a peculiar appearance to those who were
accustomed to seethe handsome bay, for the cutting of her
coat left her almoBt a dun color. However, there waB the
same trim, natty, easy-going filly that was about to astonish
the world and stamp herself the greatest three-year-old trot-
ter living. She has been accustomed to carry ten-ounce shoes
in front, but on this occasion they were reduced to nice
onnces in weight. However, the difference did not seem to
etfeot her speed, for never was a truer mile made than that
compassed by Sunol on Saturday last. Promptly at one
o'clock the bell tapped and Charles Marvin drove his charge
on the track. Mr. Grim announced that tne Palo Alto entry
wa3 about to start for tbe Stanford Stake, and as she was the
only one on which the last payment had been made, she
would be accompanied by a runner and endeavor to beat her
own time, 2:13$. The bustle and noise incidental to a race-
track was immediately hushed and points of vantage were
eagerly sought by the excited and expectant crowd. The
track was fast and the scraper had gone over it urior to the
filly being brought out, so that there was nothing to impede
her in the great undertaking. Some small wagers were made
as Suuol jogged up the track, principally on the beating of
2:13jj, and odds of two to one could be had that she would
not beat 2:12.

Marvin came down the track twice before he was satisfied
with the way his charge was movirjg, but on the third at-
tempt he nodded for the word, and "Go" was sounded from
the judges stand. Instantly hundreds of watches were
started to catch the time, and every motion of the filly was
watched with intense interest. As each eighth was passed(
those who had no timing watches would cry "up," and a low
hum from the watch holders arose every few seconds as the
time was announced. The first eighth was made in 15 sec-
onds, and the quarter in 32 seconds, the runner trailing away
behind, the clattering of his hoofs inciting the game filly to
do her very best. When the half was reached the watch
showed 1:05. Orrin A. Hickok held the reins over tbe run-
ner and el so held his watch in his hand ; both he and Marvin
thoDght that Sunol was going too fast, but the game little
filly kept up at tbe same speed as much to Marvin's aetonish-
ment as to that of the spectators; the third quarter was
negotiated in 32j seconds, thus carrying her to tbe three-
quarters in 1:37£. It was at this point that the suppressed
excitement broke forth and shouts rent the air, "She'll do
it," "Axtell is beaten," "She'll make 2:10," then a long-
headed individual shouted, "Keep quiet," and the assem-
blage again became as still as death. Down tbe homestretch
came Sunol, with the runner nose and nose. At the draw-
gate Marvin hit her a sharp tap with the whip and Hickok'a
voice now rang out on the air, sharp and distinct. Marvin
also called iu encouraging tones to tbe filly, and she responded
gamely, passing under tbe wire in 2:104, the fastest mile ever
trotted by a three-year-old. The pent up excitement of tbe
assemblage now broke forth in cheering of the most vigorous
nature, the record had teen broken and a California-bred
animal had secored still further honors for the glorious
State. As Marvin came back to dismount, he was the recipi.
ent of quite an ovatioD, every one wanted to shal;^ bands
with the Fkillful reineman, and be had to lift 1

several times to the enthusiasts in the grand stand and club-
house balcony. There was a smile on everyone's face, con-
gratulations were in order, and every one who witnessed the
great feat was happy. A review of the time made shows that
Sunol trotted each quarter with exceeding uniformity, not-
withstanding the high rate of speed at whioh sbe was going,
and Mr. Marvin deserves great credit for the faultless style in
which he drove the filly.

The grandly bred yonog stallion Regal Wilkee, the pro-
psrty o( William Corbitt, was the next candidate fcr public
honors, he being the only starter for the two-year-old stakes.
As John A. Goldsmith drove the youngster up tbe track the
presiding judge announced that Regal Wilkes would start to
bin', the Uo-year-old stallion record of Axtell, 2:23, and at
the same time go for tbe two-year-old stakes. When everv
thing was in readiness Golf'Bniith nodded, the word was
given, aod another record smasher started off on his journe y.
True and faithful the gr-at colt trotted to the quarter
in 36 seconds, on to the half, which was reaohed in l:10i,
and to the three-quarters in 1:45}. Here the "leaner," who
wm accompanying uiin, moved up and came on oven ternis
with the trotter. Steady as a die, and without Bkip or break
Regal tnrned into the homestretch; at the drawgate he fal-
tered, bnt Goldpinith hit him with the whip aud ho passed
under the wire in 2:20|, beating the two-year-old stallion
r'.cordby21 seconds. Tint tho believers in the Wilkes
i.-!ood were jubilant noes without saying. The wind by thiB
' me bad died down almost entirely, and there was no telling
,■■ here the record-breaking would end. The oolt, driver and
...vner ware heartily applauded as Goldsmith returned to the
vire and an offer of $30,000 was nude to Mr. Corbit for the

colt, but he laughingly said the colt was not for sale at any
price.

Once more Marvin appeared, this time driving Paio Alto,
2:13f. It was announced from the stand that the stallion
would start to beat his best time, but he hardly looked tit for
the task. The leg which has given him some trouble in the
past was still "off oolor," and the rains had prevented the
necessary amount of work. Just before getting into the sul-
ky Mr. Marvin was asked if he could do the trick with Palo
Alto, but his answer was not assuring. As before, Hickok
handled the runner to assist Senator Stanford's horse in the
hard undertaking. Several scores were made and al last the
word was nodded for. Away went the stallion to the quar-
ter in 33A seconds; up the backstretuh Marvin urged him a
little faster, and the half was reached in 1:06£. The clip he
was going was a great one, and could only be appreciated by
watching the runner. Around the turn his speed increased
a trifle and the three-quarters were negotiated in 1:39, The
turn into the homestretch was made at the same f>ait, and
here it was that Hickok brought up the runner. The two
oame down the stretch almost head and head, but at the
drawgate the pace was too muoh for the son of Electioneer,
and he left his feet. Marvin drew him in toward the rails
and he soon settled, but his chance to beet 2:12 was gone for
that day, but as he passed under the wire the timers Btopped
their watches at 2:12i. a second and a quarter better than his
former record. There was no question in the minds of the
spectators bnt that he woald have beaten the stallion record
if he could have kept his feet, but the lack of work told per-
ceptibly on Palo Alto, and he will have to start again if Cali-
fornia hopes to secure that record also.

Immediately on the accomplishment of Palo Alto's feat,
Mr. Marvin telegraphed to Senator Stanford, who was at
Santa Rosa, what the two representatives of the stock farm
had accomplished. As the train bearing the distinguished
party rolled into the station at Santa Rosa, an old friend of
the senator's told him the news and a few moments after-
wards the telegram was handed to him. The owner of Sunol
was just a lit.le disappointed, for he had fondly anticipated
that the figure would be 2:10. However, he at once tele-
graphed his congratnlations to Mr. Marvin on his wonderful
success with the two horses.

Some months ago the Hermitage Stud Farm Co;, of Nash-
ville, Tenn., bought from Talo Al'o the full brother to Bell
Boy, but he was left here to gain the benefit of the California
climate. He was brought out to see if it were possible for tbe
two year old to enter the "30" list. Lack of work was a
drawback in this case also, for the little fellow broke twice
before reaching the quarter pole, but Marvin kept him at his
task and the mile was accomplished in 2:32g. This was the
first of the starters to fail in the work assigned them, but it
was no damper to the occasion, for it could hardly be expect-
ed that all would perform satisfactorily.

As Hickok had assisted Mr. Marvin twice by driving the
runner, the latter gentleman now reciprocated and drove a
runner while Hickok was handling the reins over Stamboul.
Mr. Hobart's famous stallion waBBtarted to beat his record of
2:14f and also to try and win $5,000 for his former owner, L.
J. Rose of Los Angeles, who wagered that amount last spring
with W. H. Crawford of Lexington, Ky., that before the end
of this season Stamboul would trot in 2:12 or better. Be has
been started at various places on the circuit, simply to get
him in good order for the trial, and it can be said that he
*ooked more like the Stamboul of last year than at any time
previous this season. He is a horse that requires hard work
and lots of| it to fit him for fast time, but sickness struck the
stable and Stamboul has not had as much work as is necessa-
ry for him to perform the low mark set for him by Mr. Rose.
Wben the usual scoring had been accomplished the word was
given, watches clicked and away weut the winner of the Na-
tional Stallion Stakes of 1S88 to try and perform his allotted
task. Marvin kept the runner about a length behind Stam-
boul, and at the quarter 33} seconds had been consumed.
The half was reached in 1:06,1. Here Hickok let up a little,
probably wishing to save a bit of speed for the straight. The
three-quarter pole was passed in 1:40, and now Stamboul's
driver started him for the wire. When forty yards from
home Stamboul broke, and it was only by the very best of
handling that Hickok got him down to trotting before the
mile was completed. Tbe watches Bhowed that he had low-
ered his record, however, and for the present 2:13$ will stand
against the name of Stamboul. As on all the former occa-
sions, horse and driver were heartily applauded as they drove
back to the wire, and the many friends of W. S. Hobart were
eager to shake hands and congratulate him on the noble per
forniance of his horse. Mr. Crawford aod Beveralof bis East-
ern friends who were present Beem to think that Mr. Rose is
liable to lose his wager, but those who hBve watched the
career of the horse closely fancy that the Los Angeles gentle-
man still stands a very good chance to win the money. There
is one thing positive, if Stamboul improves as much in the
next two weeks as he has in the post three, Mr. Rose will be
$5,000 richer than he is before the new year ib ushered in.
The following is Stamboul's pedigree:—

Palo Alto Stock Farm, San Mateo Stock Farm and Mr.
Hobart's horse had all added to thefame of the Golden State,
and it remained for Mr. Valensin to contribute his quota
toward the record breakers. Some time ago, Mr. Waters, of
the Genoa Stock Farm, Genoa, Wis., purchased from G. Val-
ensin a young colt by Sidney, dam Faustine. The colt was
also left with Mr. Valensin, and instructions given that if a
record could be secured for the colt to send him for one.
The yearling stallion record was 2:38^ made by Von Wilkes,
a son of Victor Von Bismarck. James A. Dnstin had handled
the colt for a short time and felt convinced that he could beat
the Von Wilkes record so he was started to make a new re-
cord for a California production. The little fellow was sent
up and down the quarter stretch twice or three times and
then was given the word. He started rather slowly and was
41 seconds in arriving at tbe quarter pole, but got to the
half in 1:20 and from there home Dustin sent him for all he
was worth and tbe last half was completed in 1:15, making
the mile in 2:35, thus adding another record to California's
already lengthened list. Mr. Dustin has worked assiduously
to get the youngster in sneb good form, and he comes in for
full measure of congratulations with owner and breeder. A
telegram was sent to Mr. Waters announcing the result, and
later in the day an answer was received expressing his pleas-
ure at the fast work of the colt.

The record breaking part of the programme was now over,
but several interesting trotting events were still on the card

The first special race, mile heats, two in three, was be
tween Palo Alto's grey stallion Sport — a half brother to Sallie
Benton 2:17$— and C. W. Smith's Lucy Abbott. Sport won
easily in straight heats with Lucy a hundred yards back each
time. Sport in the second heat got a mark of 2=22^, and can
easily lower it a couple of seconds.

When the 2:30 trotters came out Alfred G. was made a red
hot favorite at £25 to §5 for the field. The first heat was
closely contested all through. Nona was up and down again
quickly, losing half a length. Alfred led a length up the
back stretch, and trotting steadily held his advantage round
the turn and to the seven furlongs, when Nona came up to
him, but breaking, was beaten two lengths, with Balkan at
the drawgate. Time 2:24.

There was no poolselline when the trio came out, and soon
receiving the word, Alfred cut out the pace all the way, with
Nona at his wheel, and after a pretty finish won by a head,
Balkan six lengths back. Time 2:23J.

When the third heat was called up a start was effeoted at
the third attempt, and Alfred, breaking at the tarn, was three
lengths back up the backstretcb, and with Hickok sending
Nona right along, she won by a length from Alfred, who fin-
ished strongly, but broke just before the wire. Time 2:25.

The fourth heat saw the field favorite over Alfred for the
first few pools, but on settling down, he sold favorite at $35
to $20 for the field.

When the bell was tapped Nona was trotting well, and she
led two lengths all the way round to the head of the stretoh,
when Alfred gradually closed and with Goldsmith driving one
of the best finishes of his life, Alfred collared the mare at
the drawgate, and had his head in front when she broke,
running under the wire a nose behind Alfred, Balkan ten
lengths back. Time, 2:23.

The 2:20 trotowiogtopostponementsand accidents, had but
three starters. Junio settled down favorite at §120, to $75
for Thapsin and $25 for Bay Rose.

When the three had scored up twice the word was given
and Thopsin going steadily soon showed in front, whilp Jun-
io broke before the turn was reached aud left his fest a^ain

of Bay Rose all the way and won oleverly by a length, Biy
Rose running under the wire six lengths in front of Junio.

Thapsin and Junio sold pretty evenly at ?50 and S60 each
to $10 for Bay Rose. A start was soon effeoted and though

was level with Bay Rose at the quarter, four lengths in front
of Thapsin. Junio drew out and had a length the best of it
roond the npper turn but when fairly in the stretch Gold-
smith called on Bay Rose, and the son of Saltan responded
nobly, winning easily by a length, Thapsin six lengths baok.
Time, 2:211.

For the third heat Jnnio waB still favorite at $40 to $32 for
Bay Bose and $5:4 for Thapsin. The favorite went away from
the wire well and going very Bteadily had a two lengths' lead
to the three quarters, Thapsin five lengths back. Bay Rose,
under persuasion, closed up on Junio, and carrying him to a
break at the distance won easily by three lengths. Time,
2:23.

The race was then postponed until Monday morning, when
Thapsin had to withdraw, owing to a severe attack of conges-
tion of the lungs, and with only two in Bay Rose sold for $25
to $10 for Junio. A start was soon effected, and Junio out
out the work, trotting very steadily to the head of the stretch
when Goldsmith drove Bay Rose hard, and catching Junio
at the distance was a neok in front, when Junio broke and
Bay Rose won readily. Time, 2:221.

Marvin got up behind Junio to drive him for a record, but
he scored up very badly and finally bolted, and hitting the
inside fence threw Marvin out. Fortunately the popular
driver was only badly shaken up. The sulky was smashed
up, but the horse was caught without further damage.

Of course since Saturday the question of breeding has
formed one of the principal topics of conversation among all
horsemen and the same old theories of breeding has been gone
over times without number. To show what others.think of
Senator Stanford's methods, the following artiole written for
the Kentuoky Stook Journal comes in very appropriately
this week; of oourse it will be noticed that the letter was
written before the records were lowered.

The recent remarkable campaign of the stallion Palo Alto
in California, winning six successive races in the average
time of leas than 2:19}, and closing with a record of 2:131,
made in the third heat of a race, has given a fresh impetus to
the disoussion of the question of the utility of running blood
in the trotter, or, more exactly speaking, whether it is of ad-
vantage to him to have thorough blood cloie up in his pedi-
eree. Hitherto the controversy has been a sort of guerrilla
warfare, in which few breeders cared to engage. For years
there was a widespread belief that the trotter could best be
produced by the indiscriminate use of thorough blood. The
first to combat this theory with any force was John H. Wal-
lace, of the Trotting Register and Wallace's Monthly, and he
has maintained his position with signal success.

All general rules have their exceptions, and the power of
Pilot Jr. and the ten-fold greater power of Electioneer in con-
trolling the gait of the thoroughbred, stand out as striking
exceptions to the almost universality of the rule that with
running orosses in the pedigree of the trotter, the further off
they are the better. The faot that almost nothing is known of
the blood lines of Pilot Jr. ends all satisfactory inquiry re-
garding the sources of his remarkable abilities. Before search-
ing fot the causes of the striking departure from the general
rule shown in the case of Electioneer, let us consider his rel-
ative stud achievements when coupled with running and
trotting-bred mares. If his success with thoroughbreds was
not any greater than with trotters or even pacers, then his
phenomenal oase is no argument for resorting to thorough
blood. The following is alist of his 2:30 trotters having run-
ning blood close up in their pedigrees:—

| Dame Winnie, thoroughbred

Palo Alto, 2:13}
Big Jim, 2:231
Gerhude Russell, 2:23J

Ansel 2-20 Annette, thoroughbred.

inhlc 2'28i' Cul-a, thoroughbred.

duress -21 Esther, thoroughbred.

Junio 2:22 Daughter or Granger, thoroughbred.

Anteeo, 2:16i 1 Columbine, nearly thoroughbred

Antevolo, 2:19s J

Azmoor, 2:24jt I Mamie C. nearly or quite thoroughbred

Emali ne, 2:2»i (

Sunol, 2:131 Grandam thoroughbred.

I have taken for the purpose of the argument Gov. Stan-
•ord's version of the pedigrees, though some are disputed by
the compiler of the Trotting Register . The variances are im-
material. It will be seen that Electioneer has Bired six 2:30
trotters from strictly thoroughbred dams, four from dams
nearly thoroughbred, and two from dams probably half bred.
One of these from a thoroughbred dam is Palo Alto, with a
third-heat stallion-race record of 2:131, and another from
a half bred dam is Sunol 2:131, the fastest as a two-
year-old, and barring Axtell, bs a three-year-old, that has yet
appeared. The getting of these, taken alone, stamps him as
one of the greatest trotting sires, but has he not brought as
great reBults from his stud service with indifferently bred
trotting mares and also pacers? From such he has sired
thirty-six, with records from 2:16 to 2:30, eight of th m in
the 2:20 list, and but one of them from a really gilt-edged,
trotting-bred mare. True, Beautiful Bells (dam of Bell Boy,
2:19i; St. Bel, 2:241; Hinda Rose, 2:19}; Palo Alto Belle,
2:22}) is one of the foremost brood mares; but, like Green
Mountain Maid, great deeds, not pedigrees, have given her
great reputation. Some of the very best of the get of Elec-
tioneer are from pacing mares whose breeding is entirely on-
known. Of such are Manzanita (4), 2:16; Bonita, 2:18J
Wildfiower (2), 2:21; Fred Crocker (2), 2:25i. All theBe are

from dame by St. Clair (pacer), breeding unknown, and out
of mares of unknown blood.

A Btudy of these facts makes it seem very probable that
had Electioneer never covered a running mare, but his stud
services been confined to Buch trotting and pacing Btock as
California afforded, his success would not have been less; and
it is certain that had his harem been filled in the beginning
with high-class trotting-bred mares, neither George Wilkes
nor Blue Bull would now be within hailing distance of him.
That Electioneer has sired trotters of the most extreme speed
from thoroughbred mares, only proves that trotting blood,
unpolluted for several generations, will sometimes exercise a
controlling influence when it meets that of even the thorough-
bred.

In considering the main question, the inquiry naturally
arises as to the measure of Buccess which other great sires
have bad in getting trotterB from thoroughbred dams. The
following table is au answer to the question:

1 . Alexander's Abdullah None.

2. Aberdeen "

3. Almont Four.

4. Belmont None.

5. Blue Bull "

6. Daniel Lambert "

7. Dictator "

8. Edward Everett "

9. General Benton One.

10. George Wilkes "

11. Hambletoman "

12. Happy Medium "

13. Harold None.

14. Kentucky Prince "

15. Mambrino Chief ■ --• "

16. Nutwood "

17. Volunteer "

Total nnmber Six.

Pilot Jr. has been left out of this table for reasons that have
been mentioned. The list embraces all the great sires who
have been long enough in the stud to make their get a prop-
er subject for our inquiry. They have produced, all told, six
trotters, able to go a mile in 2:30, from thoroughbred dams.
It cannot be said that it was for want of opportunity, that
their efforts were almost wholly failures, for Hambletonian,
Volunteer, Dictator, Harold, Belmont, George Wilkes and
Mambrino Chief were bred to many excellent thoroughbred
mares, but from such not one of them ever got a 2:30 trotter.
Xo use the language of Mr. Wallace, the thoroughbred
"has an inheritance of deathly contests and glorious victories
coming down to him from an illustrious ancestry, and theBe
have become an unseen part of the very nature of the horse.
"It is also nearly a certainty that the habit of moving with
the utmost spaed has become a fixed quality in his nervous
organization, but the disposition in htm to adhere to the run-
ning gait is so strong that, outside of the exceptional cases of
Electioneer and Pilot Jr , and in a much less degree Almont,
the attempts to impait to the trotter these two qualities of
the thoroughbred by direct crosses have been almost entirely
barren of good results. The trotter is a product of recent
times, and it is not strange that his blood is less potent than
that of the thoroughbred with twenty generations of pure
lineage. It is a significant fact that the near thoroughbred
oross in the pedigree of Maud S., 2:081, Jay-Eye-See, 2:10,
Palo Alto, 2:131, and perhaps Sunol, 2:13|, comes from Bos-
ton, one of the greatest race horses that has ever appeared
on the turf. Some exceptional quality iu him, aside from the
generality of his breed, may have been the main cause ot the
harmonious union of his blood with trotting strains.

While it is true that the fastest trotterB have come from
thoroughbred grandams, and in the case of Palo Alto a
thoroughbred dam, the faot is not to be viewed as suggesting
a similar rule of breeding, but as proof that in the present
formative condition of the trotting horse his highest rate of
speed iB reached in instances where a near cross has been
made with the thoroughbred, and contrary to the usual re-
sult, the trotting parent controls only the gait and the off-
spring is essentially a trotting thoroughbred. Such an ani-
mal, while it may be unrivaled on the trotting course, will
perhaps be unable to impart to its progeny itB own individ-
ual qualities. A breeder aiming to produce one faBt trotter
and do it in the first generation, would be justified in mak-
ing the attempt by breeding a thoroughbred or half-bred
mare to Electioneer or one of his strictly trotting-bred sonB,
but his chances of success would perhaps be very muoh
greater from a trotting mare bavin? the desirable qualities
of the thoroughbred.

A notable exception to the general rule has lately come
under my observation. Am mg the colts ot St. Bel now be-
ing educated by Cope Stinson, at Prospect Hill Stock Farm,
are two fillies out of thoroughbred dams— Bonnibel, out of
Belle D., by Belmont, son of Lexington; and Belle Dame,
out of Bertha, by Bigaroon, sou of Bonnie Scotland. I
watched them closely in tbeir work, with others from gilt-
edged dams, and in speed, parity of gait and trotting dispo-
sition, they appeared in no way inferior to their half sisters,
indeed, the fastest of this lot of very Bpeedy youngsters was
the filly Bonnibel. Her dam, Belle D., was not only a
thoroughbred in blood, but was a good race mare in fact.
The chances are very strong that she will enter the 230 list
as a two-year-old. Notwithstanding this, I would not con-
sider her worth nearly as much for breeding purposes as one
of her less speedy but more strongly trotting-bred half sis-
ters. Fallstown.

Racing at Oakland.

About four hundred people congregated at Oakland Park
last Sunday to witness a half mile dash and a mile hurdle
race. About 2 o'clock the horBeB were called up for the half
mile dash. Four horses turned out, all well known to moBt
race-goera. Rondo was installed favorite, the majority of the
pools selling Rondo $5, Applause $2 and the field $1 50. Af-
ter several attempts Lige Downer dropped the flag with Ron
do a little in front and Applause in advance of the other two.
Rondo increased bis lead round the turn and was a good
three lengths in front when fairly in the homestretch. Pain*
killer drew up in the last hundred yards after going easy all
the way, and beat Applause a neck for the place, Rondo win-
ning by a lengih. Had Paifkiller been ridden all the way he
would probably have won easier than Rondo did. Time,
0:49}.

Also ran Minnie B.

Time, 0:19}.
The other event was a hurdle race, with two Btarters.
Several years ago a good deal of hurdle racing was indulged
in at Oakland, and an attempt was made to revive the inter-
est in it, but unfortunately an accident spoilt the proceedings.
Willie Stewart, who is a very promising yonng rider, had the
leg np on Sir Ladd; at the first jump the saddle girths broke
and Stewart, unfortunately, did not pull up, and at the next
fence horse and rider fell, the horse rolling on Stewart and
breaking a rib, oi poBsibly two. Jack Pot won the race easi-
ly. We have seen many hurdle races, and with one or two
other spectators who are old hurdle race men, were surprised
to see a boy who had never ridden in a hurdle race before
put up on Sir Ladd, who, although when last seen at Fresno
was one of the best hurdlerB there, but he was not properly
turned out on Sunday, A horse cannot jump with his head
tied down, and as a matter of precaution and custom it is bet-
ter to have a strong snroingle round the saddle.

Oakland Park.

Several prominent Eastern horsemen decided to winter in
California, and a few weeks ago Major Dn Bois brought a oar
load from Denver, Colorado, and, located at the Oakland
track. Among the lot were several good-looking — though
rather undersized — yearlings and the two well-known stall-
ionB Magnet (2:281), 1328, by Magnolia 68, dam Mischief by
Abdallah 15, grand dam by Bolivar. The brown stallion is
fourteen years old and as playful as a kitten; and Superior
(2:19i), 4012, by Egbert 1136, dam Mary (dam of Benefaotor
2:28), by Woodford Mambrino 345, grand dam Belle by Nor-
man 25. He is a brilliant red cheBtnut, handsome, well
shaped, and with nice action. Last week Phallas (2:131) and
Roy Wlikes (2:121) arrived. The former is well known to all
trotting horsemen as the holder of the stallion record which
Palo Alto equalled at Stockton. The bay stallion looks as fit
as a fiddle and evidently is in good trim. E. Bither, the well
known reinsman, who assisted Jay Eye See and other equine
heroes to make their records, has Phallas in charge, while
Mr. Davis, the owner of Roy Wilkes, the pacer, iB jogging
his horse himself, and when moving his action is almost per-
fection. His staunchness and unflinching courage have been
proved on many of the Eastern tracks, and if he works well
the next two or three weeks we shall probably have a sensa-
tional race between he and Adonis. James Dustin has his
UBual string jogging along. Faustino, the yearling Sidney,
was taken over to Oakland last Sunday, and will be kept in
work, and if the weather holds out Dustin will probably
start him to beat Norlaine's yearling record. Hinds has sev-
eral useful youngsters among his string, particularly a big
fine yearling who trotB in good style. The Hazlitt stable has
had a big string of runners at the track until a few days ago.

were non-standard and business horses. I now solicit con.
sionments of California stock, standard bred, and feel sure
that your breeders cannot do better than Bell their horses at
this point. Lexington is undoubtedly the best sale mart on
the continent for trotting horses and her sales attraot not only
the "Western buyers but the Eastern, and this accounts for
the phenomenal success of her sales. Last February, after
700 horses had been sold at public auction, I disposed of
800 mares at an average of $603 60, the higbeBt price being
for one of your California colts, Bell Boy, $51,000, then the
greatest sum ever paid for a trotting horse. The distance is

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by ArpbippuR,

The Fall games of the L'mver.i.y Athletic Clnb will be held
at Berkeley this afternoon.

Theathlete8 are in splendid condition for the Olympic
handicap meeting, which will be beld on November 2Sth.

The wheelmen are anxiously awaiting the Napa race meet
ing. and the oarsmen are training day and night for coming

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

George Armbrnster of the T. M. C. A A. 0. is training
hard for the mile handicap walk on Thanksgiving Day.

C. A. Eldridge of the G. G. A. 0. has retired from the cin-
der path.

The amateur athletic world was well represented at tbe
Bay District Track last Sunday morning. The teams from
tbe 'different athletic clubs were exercised under the direc-
tions of their Captaics.

The usual '"hundred" was run off and S. V .Cassidy once
more took the lead. W. J. Kenealey and - McDonald were
tied for second place, Newtou Williams coming in a good
ourth. Winner's time, 10 2-5 seconds.

E^pinoza, Cooley, Scott, Hare, JimO'Kane, Frank O'Kane,
McDonald. Williams, Giry, Moody, George Armbrnster,
Charles Armbrnster, Cassidy, Scblengheid and Kenealey
were all stripped and entertained the spectators with splendid
exhibitions of sprinting and distance running.

Tbe manager of the Bay District Track refused to allow
the athletes to dress in the judges' Btand and they are com-
pelled to seek the shelter of the horse stalls. Such discour-
tesy on the part of the lessee of the track deserves to be
severely criticised, and when the new gr -unds of the Olympic
Club are ready for use tbe athletes will give the B*y District
Track a wide'oerth. It is a consolation, however, to note
that this has been the first season since the opemag of the
track that the athletes have bren incommoded by the man
agers. When Mr. Hinchman had charge of the track he al-
ways took an especial delight in welcoming the runners and
walkers.

Captain George W. Jordan made a mental memorandum of
the different performances, and perhaps some of the cute
sprinters will be pot back a peg or two.

President C. Giry of the P. A. C. is in fine shape for the
"half," and with a proper start should make it hot for tbe
Scotchmen.

Bob McA.rtb.ur and Frank Cooley will have a hard tussle
for tirat place in the mile. It is an assured fact that both
meu will" smash the coast record.

Cassidy will win the open hundred, if not too heavily
handicapped, while McDonald, Kenealey, McNear, McGee
and Hare will have a bard battle for second honors.

Scott, Cooley, Espinoza and ArcbieLayton", (a profession-
al) ran a "quarter" on Sunday morning. The professional
won easily, as the amateurs contented themselves with jog-
ging.

Fully 200 persons were present at the track to watch the
doings of the athletes.

According to tbe new adoption Phil Moody will be eligible
to enter the novice race, and be certainly should win a
medal.

Frank L. Cooley, the dietauoe amateur runner, is now a
member of the Olympic Club, and will help to swell its reo-
ord at the championship games next year.

Haley, the latest addition to the Olympic Club champion
hsi, will be heavily handicapped on Thanksgiving Day. Those
who have seen him ran are of tbe opinion that be will lower
the present Pacific Coast one mile running record" by at least
five seconds.

Capt. E. N. Jennings, who was reported dead Borne months
ago, is now conducting a fencing and lidiug academy in Syd-
ney, Anstralia. He was at one time fencing instructor to the
Olympic Club

Tbe prizes to be awarded to tbe winners in the boxing
tournament are on exhibition at tbe store of George C.
Shreve, corner of Montgomery and Sutter streets.

UNIVERSITY JOTTINGS.

The university men are in tip-top condition for their fall
games, which .will be held on the Campus at Berkeley to-
day.

Great interest will be taken in Bouse, as it is expected that
(bis young athlete will do wonders-

Clift expects to beat eight minutes in tbe mile walk.

Moffelt is not in good trim, therefore he will not try to
lower uny of the records.

McGee's friends think that he is good for two first medals.

The cinder path is in fine order and just suited for record
breaking. Tbe sporting editor who la^t Monday stated that
this track was plow was evidently misinformed, as it is con-
sidered one of the fastest tracks on tbe coast.

Cassidy is looked upon as the winner of the Olympic spec-
ial "hundred," while Keneilly is expected to have a soft thing
in the "four forty."

A fine band of music will perform while tbe games are in
progress.

The medals will be on hand and will be presented to the
different w.nners at the conclusion of the sports.

There will be no oluss pennant awarded this year, but any
student breaking a college record will receive a special med-
al.

A 220 yards maideo race for freshmen has been substituted
for tbe standing high jump.

The Relay race will no doubt be one of the most excitipg
events oi the day. The struggle will be between the Seniors
and Juniors. Bjth classes ure determined to win.

The runners will save themselves fur this event.

Tbe three-legged race Hhould provu amusing to the audi-
ence. Suveral uf the sprintors will oompete.

A large crowd of ladms and gentlemen are expected from
Pan Francisco, and the students anticipate an immense au-
'.iieuce. Preparations have been made for (lie comfort of
all.

The lawn tennis cmrt is in good order and tbe game is
Jnce mjre practiced.

JOTVXNOS KKOM AM. OVER.

Tbo Modesto Atbletio Club gave its first exhibition on
Saturday evening last. Tbe principal event on the programme

was a three hours run for amateurs, which was won by Geo.
Young Joe Lone winning second place. Gold and silver
medals were presented to the winners. The records were:
Young, 18 miles and 17 laps; Love, 17 miles 13 laps. Ihe
track was 28 laps to the mile. Athletes from San Francisco
will be invited to take part in tbe next games. lhe club is
Btrictly amateur.

At the annual Fall games of the Yale Athletic Association,
the following records were made, despite the drizzling rain
which fell all the afternoon, 2 miles bicycle race, 6:38 2-5.
440 yards run, 51 3-5 seoonds. 1 mile run, 4:49. Pole vault,
9ft 2>in.

The new gymnasium at Yale is built of brick aad Btone,
with base dimensions 130x80 feet, containing bowling alleys,
two rowing tanks, and two running tracks. The entire floor
surface is about 10,000 square feet. The building cost in the
neighborhood of $150,000.

Tbe Waverly Athletic Club has changed its title to that of
the West Hoboken Athletic Clnb.

The Passaic City Wheeling and Athletic Association has
applied to tbe Amateur Athletic Union for admission to that
body as an associate club.

Charles H- Sherrill, the champion intercollegiate sprinter,
is taking a post graduate course in eleotricity at Yale College,
and may wear the blue of Yale University in the sprints at
the intercollegiate games on the Berkeley Oval in May.

The Games Committee of Company I, Thirteenth Regi-
ment N. G. S. N. Y.. have decided to postpone the games
and reception announced to be held on December 16. until
Friday evening, December 20, when the affair will be decided
in the regimental armory, corner of Fletbush Avenue and
Hanson Place, Brooklyn. Silver cups will be given to the
winners in each event, and Biiver medals to the second ath-
letes.

Quite a daring feat was recently performed at Widnes,
England. The London Sportsman of Ootuber 10th says:
"Tom Burn of Liverpool, who is noted for his endurance
both in swimming and running, jumped off Runcorn Bridge
into the River Mersey, a distance of eighty-five feet, and
Bwam back to Liverpool. He then dressed and started on a
foot-race to London and back, having made a wager to do the
journey in nine days."

Two Eogliah athletes, Jones and Barnes of the Bristol Har-
riers, were sent to jail for a month, for conspiracy to defraud
the Stourbridge Tootball Club of tbe prize in a one-mile race
at the last athletic games held by that organization. Jones
entered and received a large start from the handicapper, but
Barnes ran in his name and won.

To sbow how little the Eastern sporting fraternity know
about athletic affairs in California, we print tbe following
from the New York Sunday Sun: There have been cases of
bribing amateur athletes to a more or less degree in the
majority of athletic and aquatic organizations throughout the
country, and there was a charge laBt year that Victor E.
Schifferstein, the great California sprinter and running broad
jumper, was supported by the Olympic Athletic Clob of San
Francisco. This case made quite a stir out there, but was
eventually dropped. John Purcell, of the same organization,
was implicated also, but it is thought that be ended the mat-
ter by becoming the instructor or director of athletics for the
club at a regular salary.

Charles F. Evton, the Australian champion light-weight
wrestler, was defeated by James Faulkner, the American
champion, in a match for $250 a side atTacoma(W. T.),
Nov. 7th.

Peter Hegelman was the winner of the forty-eight hours'
race, contestants traveling eight hours daily, which finished
at Bridgeport, Ct., on Nov. 2d. Tbe score by miles was given
as follows: Hegelmao, 327 miles; Gos Guerrero, 323; Charles
Connors. 316; T. Howarth,306; D. J. Herty, 304; F.Taylor,
301; J. Sullivan, 258. There is a strong probability, how-
ever, that there was considerable of a shortage in tbe track,
which renders these big figures valueless.

Cannon and Pietro gave another exhibition of wrestling at
Paris, France, on the evening of October 31st, the result
being a draw. They met again the following evening, when
the Frenchman won.

The half-mile race between A. B. George and J. C. Dever-
fttn, both of the Manhuttan Athletic Club, was decided at
the grouuds of that organization, this city, on the afternoon
of Oct. 31, on a track that waB heavy from the rain that had
been falling during the most of the day, and was still coming
down when the runners were sent away. George took the
lead at once, and gradually improved bis position, ultimately
winning in 2m 3 3-5s, Deveraux stopping forty yardB from
the goal. Starter, Jack Gouldiug: timer, C. C. Hughes;
referee, Al Copland.

The Fall games of the Harvard College Athletio Association
were held on Holmes' Field, Cambridge, MaBS., on Nov. 1st.
Tbe weather was unpleasant, the spectators limited in num-
ber, and no specially good performances were accomplished.
Winners: 100 yds dash— S. Saltonstall, in 10$s. Two mile

E. C. Carter and L. R. Sharp were the only starters in the
mile race at the grounds of the New York Athletic Club, Tra-
vers Island, on Oct. 31. Tbe trophy was the ©1,000 onp pre-
sented by Setb French, and which is annually run for, the
winner having his name inscribed on the oupand receiving a
gold medal as a prize. Rain was falling wheu the men toed
their mark, Carter being on scratch and Sharp having an al-
lowance of fifty yards, while the track was in bad condition,
beiDg covered in places with water. It was almost dark when
the race was started, and it bectme necessary to place lighted
lamps at different poiuts along tue path. Carter won handily
in 4m 43s, remarkably good time, considering the condition
of tbe track and the Btateof the weather.

Tbo athletio sports arranged for the benefit of Jaok Gou'd-
ing and his awHHtant came off at the grounds of the Manhat-
tan Athletio Club on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 2d. The ben-
eficiaries were in no better luck than upon the two previous
days set fur the affair, as rain loll steadily all the afternoon,
the path was heavy and dead, and the gathering was rather
light. In consequence of the storm, the exhibition runs an-
nounced to take place did not come off, neither L. E. Myers
nor M. K. Kittleman making his appearanoe. A summary of
the events follows: —

One hundred yards run— First heal: E L Sarre, M A C,
7ydH, first; W J Dixon, M A C, 4vds, second by 3 yds. Time
10 3-5s. Second heat: E S Dolan, P A O, fijvds, first; J A

IN THE SURF.

The surf baths were almost entirely deserted by the gener-
al public during the week. The members of the different
swimming clubs, however, stuck to their practice in order to
get themselves into condition for tbe coming raceB under the
auspices of the Lurliue Club.

The Palace and Crystal Baths had a very fair share of cus-
tom during the week. Tbe temperature of the water at both
places has lately been increased owing to the cold state of
the atmosphere.

Next Sunday the Lurline Swimming, Boating and Athletic
Club, will hold its inaugural entertainment at the Shelter
Cove Baths, foot of Mason Stree*. There will be three swim-
ming events, as follows: 100 yards, 440 yards and one mile.
All three races to be scratch. Gold medals will repay the
first men and silver medals will be given as second prizes.
The races are open to all amateur swimmers. Several of the
Terrace Club swimmers will enter, and excellent exhibitions
will no doubt be the result.

AT THE OARS.

From an aquatic point of view, last Sunday was a perfeat
day. There was no wind and the bay was as smooth as
glass. Several crews were out.

Four crews left the Ariel Boat House and accompanied the
Pioneer Clnb a short distance on their annual outing.

The memb-rs of the Pioneer Rowing Club made use of
every available boat in tbe service on Sunday and rowed to
Hunters Point, where theo landed and spent the day. Swim-
ming and other games helped to make up tbe programme.
Some of the nou athletic members contented themselves with
spinning yarns, which savored very much of past deeds and
performances done by the members of the club since its or-
ganization. Champagne flowed freely and an elegant lunch
was served. The Pioneer clnb is tbe oldest rowing club in
California.

There will be a grand re-union of all the rowing clubs on
the Pacific Coast on Washington's Birthday.

Dan Leahy, the ex-champion of the coast, was out in his
shell on Sunday for the first time in seven years. He showed
a sad lack of condition, but with a couple of months practice
he will make some of the scullers "take water" and leave it
right away.

Sunday was general over-hauling day with mist of the
scullers who intend competing on Thanksgiving Day.

The race between Leander Stevenson and William Jnlian,
has been postponed for two months, owing to the illness of
Mr. Julian, who, a short time ago, contracted pneumonia.

Eugene Flanders takes more interest in boating affairs than
any other oarsman on the Pacific Coast.

There is not the slighest doubt but that if proper induce-
ments were offered by tbe SPC, all the boat clubs around
tbe bay wonld be willing to move intj one large club bouse,
each club to have a separate entrance. We think it would
be a very good investment on the part of the S P C to erect
such a building on tbe Alameda mole, for the exclusive use
of the rowing clubs. We have no doubt but that the clubs
would be perfectly willing to help to defray tbe expense of
erecting and maintaining such a building

The professional crew of tbe Ariel Club are getting into
fine trim for the four-oared shell race on Thanksgiving Day.

The Lurline Clnb will hold its first regatta next Sunday at
North Beach. There will be sculling, wherry and barge
races. CupB will be awarded the winners. All the clubs
have been invited to participate.

Post Office "Sfation B" crew, in charge ot J. J. Larkey,
will enter the four-oired barge race, and from all accounts
will make things rather lively for the other crews.

The raceB are open to amateurs only.

THE WHEELMEN.

The Bay City Wheelmen are about to move their c*ub
rooms, their present ones not being at all satisfactory. It is
the earnest desire of tbe members to secure an entire bouse
and if possible a la Los Angeles wheelmen "tbe handsomest
club rooms on the Pacific Coast."

The committee of the Vineyard Valley Wheelmen, who vis-
ited Camp Taylor with a delegation of the B C W, spent Sun*
day evening at the club rooms on Van Ness Avenue. Their
captain, William Parker, entered the safety races and pro-
mised many more raoing men from his club.

Chairman Davol has reversed the decision in the case of
tbe men who participated in the amateur races at the
Mechanics Pavilion as regards suspension from "all" tracks.
The decision of the borne club, however, cannot be ohauged.

The Oakland Bioycle Club of '89 was organized at the resi-
dence of its Captain George F. Diake in September laBt.
During the past couple of months the club has gained con-
siderable headway and is now, thanks to its efficient officers,
on a footing with most of the older clubs. It is the intention
of the members to enter the racing world next spring and there
iB no cause why some of the riders should not give a eood ao-
count of themselves on the path. The following is a" list of
officers: Captain George F. Drake, 1720 Seward Street, Oak-
land, Cal., Secretary Samuel Small, 804 10th Street, Oakland,
Cal., President, Dr. L. Vhu Orden: George H. Gihon, vioe-
President L. Hubbard, 1st Lieut. A. C. Lassen, 2nd Lieut J.
F. Revalk, Bugler.

R. M. Welch is slowly recovering from the effects of the
accident which happened to him a couple of %eeks ago.

The next regular monthly smoker of the San Francisco
Bicycle Club will be held on Thursday evening November

Nominations of officers for 1890 will be made.

The Club will also tender a reoeption to diaries A . McDon-
ald. A fine orchestra will furnish music during tbe even-
ing.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

There will be an in-door meetiDg of the P. C. A. A. A. at
the Mechanics Pavilion in January.

The P. 0. A. A. A. will probably send athletes to represent
it at the next American Cbampionship meeting.

E. C. Hill the nniversity delegate acted rather hastily at the
last meeting of the P. C. A. A. A. in voting against the hold-
ing of an in-door meeting. We do not see npon what grounds
Mr. Hill could fear a failure. A meeting under the auspices
of the Association would unquestionably attract an immense
crowd of people to the Pavilion and the entertainment
wonld in all respects prove a big success. Mr. Hill should
remember that in-door games in New York City and in other
large cities outside of California generally draw a larger audi-
ence than the out-door games.

The following delegates to the P. C. A. A. A. were chos-
en at the last regular meeting. T. Bouse, J. C. Ainsworth,
Jr., E. C. Hill of the University A. C, F. Drum, F. Knight,
M. Clements of the Keliance A. C, C. Giry, P. Moody,
E. Dwyer of the Pacific A. C.

Previous to the nest Championship Games, an effort will
probably be made to allow only such men as are actually at-
tending the University to represent the Club. If this law
was enforced the Olympic Club would have a walk over for
the pennant.

The Lurline Club will receive its friends at its club rooms
next Sunday. A good time is anticipated. Boat races,
swimming matches, losing, fencing, weight lifting, wrestling,
and other sports will be included on the programme. A fine
lunch will be served. Invitations will be sent to the mem-
bers of the different boat clubs.

The next exhibition of the Occidental Club will take place
Monday evening, Nov. 25th.

The Amateor Championship boxing tournament of the
Olympic Athletic Clnb was in progress as we went to press,
and we are compelled to hold over our account until the
Dext issue.

It will be some weeks yet before the new grounds of the
Olympic Club are finished.

The Pacioc Athletic Club will give a gTand benefit exhibi-
tion at its club rooms, Mission Skating Rink, Mission Street
near 20th., on Tuesday evening November 26. The follow-
ing talent will appear and one of the best programmes ever
before given on the Pacific Coast is assured.

Joe McAuliffe, champion heavy weight; Joe Choynski,
ex-champion Amateur; W. J. Keneally, heavy weight; E.
Collins; Texas Frenchy; Paddy Gorman of Australia; Paddy
Smith; Charles Bogan; Gallagher; Fred Bogan; Joe Hesketh;
Regan; Kenelson; I. McAuliffe; Mr. "Woods; McLaughlin;
Ed. Morrissey; Kramer; Billy Meehan;Ed.Graney;G. Muller:
M. Henes; Iones; Philips; besides several other boxers inclu-
ding the champions of the late Amateur boxing tournament.

Tumbling by Steve, Boulo, Kehoe and Mack.

Horizontal Bar, Steve, Boulo, Clown, Hemme.

Duel scene, by Professors R. Ingrahm, and La Rue, 15
points.

Wrestling, Sohwartr and Eechter, MerteB and Ungermann.

It will be seen from the fore-going liBt that nearly every
athlete in San Francisco will appear. The event of the ev-
ening will be a ten round content between Joe Hesketh and
Texas Frenchy for a valuable trophy.

Mr. C. C. Johnson, a prominent young colored gentleman
of this city, a graduate of Westminster University and a
student of "the San Francisco Academy of Music, will be an
aspirant for athletic honors at the coming games, given by
the Olympic Club, on Thanksgiving Bay. He will represent
the Pacific Athletic Club, of which he is a member, and if a
fair handicap is given, no doubt he will make a very good
showing. Johnson is an insurance clerk, and is being "kept
covered."

English Exports-

The exports of pure-bred stock (of which horses form the
largest portion) still increase, although the destinations and
class of the animals vary. The value of the exports for the
nine months ending September 20th was $4, -466,975, against
§4.003.345 last year. Of horses the value was $3,745,420,
against 53,304,440 last year. There were 10,642 horses ex-
ported, against 10,119 last year. Of these 2,411 were stallions,
4,330 marcs, and 3,901 geldings. The following shows the
distribution of the horses during the nine months compared
with the same period in 188S and 1887: —

1887. [1888. 1889.

Holland S 233,730 S 250,945 8 411,980

Belgium 386,575 377,180 383,195

France 1^5,160 356,910 360,510

United States 210,495 338.415 283,060

British North America 788..165 969,755 764,200

Other countries 414.655 1,001,225 1,640,475

Total 82,138,980 83,304,440 £3,745.420

It will be observed that the value of horses exported to the
United States and Canada has decreased, while the chief
gain has been in the export to other coutries, which is doubt-
less due to the large number of thoroughbreds taken to South
America. The number of stallions exported to the United
States was 524, against 568; and of mares 317, against 651.
The number of btallions exported to British North America
was 1.124 against l,671;and of mares 993, against 780. There
were 11,235 horses imported, against 9,276 in the same period
last year, the value having been $1,102,500, against $772,640
last year. Of these 870 were stallions, 2,233 mares, and
8,082 geldings. — London Live Stock Journal.

When an animal meets the requirements of admission and is duly
registered, it shall be accepted as a standard trotting-bred animal: —

First.— Any stallion that has himself a record of two mfnutes and
thirty seconds (2:ii0) or better, provided any of his get has a record of
2:35 or better, or provided his sire or his dam is already a standard
animal.

THiaD.— Any horse that Is the sire of two animals with a record of
2:30 or better.

Fouhth.— Any horse that is the sire of one animal with a record of
2:30 or better, provided he has either of the additional qualifications:
(1) A record himself of 2:35 or better. (2) Is the sire of two other
animals with a record of 2:35 or better. (li) Has a sire or dam that is
already a standard animal.

Fifth -Any mare that has produced an animal with a record of
2:30 or better.

Sixth. -The progeny of a standard horse when out of a standard
mare.

Seventh.— The female progeny of a standard horse when out of a
mare by a standard horse.

Eighth. — The female progeny of a standard horse when out of a
mare whose dam is a standard mare.

keeps good.

Whiaban was accidently omitted from the list of entries in

to witness the phenomenal heat.

Matt Storn has 6ve thoroughbreds at the track, Forester,
Glen Eilen, Marigold, Kildare and Fannie F., all in good

Napa is favored. To-day, if weather and surroundings are
auiiable, Palo Alto and Stamboul will attempt to lower their
records. Phallas, Sunol and Adonis are also on the track.

It is very probable that Henry Walsh, the veteran turfite
and practical trainer, will be seen in the East next season
with the newly formed Rose stable.

The Denoison Brothers have Hotspur Mohawk (for Her-
zog) and Ede at the Bay District track. The boyB, if they

fered great agony for ten days.

Senator Hearst Baid he would have given any reasonable

honor and renown of the State.

Palo Alto Stock Farm have sold to L. J. Rose, the former
owner of Stamboul, 14 thoroughbreds; four or five are two

been tried.

Was it a case of 'the biter bit' or another Benzon caught,
last Wednesday. At Oakland the Stover confederacy with
the assistance of a Bis shooter and the fact that both horses
were under their control, landed five or sis hundred dollars.
The details are well known to moBt people in the city.

The runner in Sunol's great mile was driven by Hiekok,
who alBO drove in Palo Alto's trial. Marvin returned the com-
pliment when Stamboul came out, while, when Regal Wilkes
and Goldsmith appeared Tom— Hickok's understudy —judi-
ciously handled the runner, in a manner almost surpassing
his cool-headed mentor.

H. R. H. The Prince of Wales has again been unlucky
with Magic, who started favorite for the grand Sefton Stee-
plechase at Liverpool, and only finished fourth in a field of
five. The winner was an ex-Irish hunter, a son of Ben Bat-

near Flemington. N. J., and will winter their horses there,
under Albert Cooper1* care. There is a good half mile track
on the place.

The Bay District track, although in exceptional order for
trotting, was as hard as a rock for runners; complaints were
beard on all sides, the harrow in use was worse than a good
scrubbing brush.

In the summaries of the Stockton races, the Tarf Field and
Farm gives Lorita the credit of winning the third beat in the
2:23 class. Hazel Wilkes won both second and third heatB
in 2:20 and 2:20j.

Mr. 8. N. Straube of Fresno, has leased the services of the
trotting stallion Jnnio2:22, by Electioneer, dam by Granger,
for two yearB, and will Btand bim next season at Poplar

Roy Wilkes was jogged on the Oakland track last Monday
and pleased every one by his perfect, mechanical Btyle of go
ing. The pacer was feeling very good, and hitting out Bharp-
ly in a playfnl moment, removed a little skin from one hock,
where it came into contact with the sulky, but luckily did
no further damage.

The jockey, William Stewart, who was bo severely injured
last Sunday at the Oakland track is in straightened circum-
stances, and some of his friends are collecting money to
assist him. Any of my readers who wish to assist the in-
jored lad may send their donations to this office, and they
will be acknowledged.

Maine men are proverbially sharp. After a lot of dickering
a Belfast peddler told a horse jockey in that neighborhood
that he would be given $15 and ten bushels of clams for a
horse. The offer was accepted, and then the peddler told the
jockey that he'd have to go to the flats and dig the clams
himself.

Jimmy McLaughlin had sixteen horses to start one day
last week at Clifton, and when they broke away the second
time in violation of his orders he fined the whole crowd $25
each. Garrison, who was one of the lot, could hardly be-
lieve he was included iu the list, and McLaughlin received a
ringina cheer when he informed him that he was not except-
ed. ~

The executive committee of the Brooklyn Jockey Club last
week determined on its racing dates for 1890. The spring
meeting will begin on Thursday, May 15 (Brooklyn Handi-
cap day), and continue up to and including Friday, May 30
(Decoration Day). The fall meeting will begin Tuesday,
September 16, and continue up to and including Tuesday,
September 30.

Friar's Balsam has retired from the turf, and left Porter's
stable at Kingsclere early last month for Mr. Chaplin's
breeding establishment at Blankney, where, in time, he will
take the place of his sire, Hermit, as lord of the harem. It
is now twenty-five years since Hermit was foaled, and as he
cannot be expected to do duty much longer he should have
a worthy successor in his four-year-old son.

Live stock auctioneers, that is, of the right sort, are hard
to fiod, and it is with pleasure that I call the attention of
Gossip readers to the advertisement of Cresswell BroB., 1628
Fohom street, who are prepared to take the very best care of
Btock consigned to them for sale. The firm is a reputable
one, and owners may rely on being treated fairly in business
done through the Cresswell Bros.

Any one who owns a popular stallion has many more trials
and tribulations than the ordinary person would think for.
Mr. Corbitt has announced that Guy Wilkes' book is closed
for 1890, yet he receives requests every day froinjpersons who
think that he ought to strain a point and favor them, but
Guy has all the mares booked to him that will be taken, and
positively no others will be received.

Scotch turf laws, like Scolch marriage laws, are peculiar, to
Bay the least. At one of the Edinburgh meetings recently a
man, on the complaint of a bookmaker, waB turned out of
the ring as a defaulter. The rejected forthwith brought an
action against the body that stands for the Scotch Jockey
Club, and although the Doke of Montrose and the clerk of
the course appeared for the defense, the complainant was
awarded £250 damageB.

The position of starter at the Blood Horse meeting, which
begins to-day, was not filled when we went to press. There
is always a good deal of dissatisfaction engendered by the
starting, and it is not entirely the starter's fault, as long as
there is no certainty who will Btart and be retained in his
position for at least a year. It is a very arduous task to
obtain control of the boys. We should have a paid starter
for the Blood Horse and State Fair meetings.

Last week at Clifton one of the inmates of newspaper row
created quite a sensation by accepting odds of 5 to 1, made
by another scribe, that the horses in the fifth race could not
be placed 1, 2. 3. The party of the first part named Capulin,
Mary T. and Prince Edward, the exact order of the finish,
and collared the wealth. Then the party of the second part,
to get square, bet the other "double or quits" Lafitte against
Swift, and lost that also. And yet some say that selections
are all luck.

Mr. Morse of Lodi, the well koown owner of Dexter Prince
(eon of Kentucky Prince 2470, and Lady Dexter, sister to
Dexter, 2:17^), called in to see us last Wednesday. He
speakB wonderfully well of the get of his stallion; two of
them, three year olds, I ba\e seen, viz , Jaggers, who easily
won the first heat at lone in 2:31J, and had he been driven
out would have trotted in 2:28, while Princess Alice, who
paces, Bhowed exceptionl form against such hcrses as Edwin
C, Ned Winslow and Frank.

The third annual spring rac.ng and trotting meeting of the
Overland Park Club, Denver, Colorado, will beheld May 30th
to June 7th, 1890. It will be the first great racing event of
the season in the Western States, and the managers have de-
termined to spare no pains or expense to make it one of the
best and most interesting. They have concluded to largely
increase the value of stakes and purses offered for running,
trotting and pacing, and in the programme to be issued about
January 1st, will endeavor to arrange ra es and classes to
such stables and owners as are expected to attend the meet-
ing. $12,000 in poi-aes and stakes will be offered, and four
or more races will be given each day.

E. H. Douglas, proprietor of Grand View Stud Farm,
Franklin, has suffered a serious loss by fiie. several valu-
able animals perishing in the flames that destroyed the barn.
The animals lost are the thoroughbred brood mares Margaret
D, by Buckmaster, out of Elyton's dam, in foal to Perkins;
Kitty Grass, by Planeroid, dam by Inqoirer; a weanling
filly, by F-irandole, dam Evaline by Enquirer, and Bohe-
mian Girl; Rattler, Brook's dam, by Prince Pnlaaki; Ellen D,
by Ten Broeck, out of the dam of Flyaway. Seven sucklings
or weanlings were saved from the flames. The loss is said to
be $6000.

The receipts at theDoncaster September Races, which have
been issued, were higher than they have ever been before.
The stand receipts amounted to £16 772, as agairjst £12, 376
in 1888; and from other sources, such as booths, temporary
stands, refreshment placeB, &e , £2,S59. compared with
£2.660; the aggregate receipts beiog £19,601, as against
£15,037, or an increase of £4,564. This increase iB cniefly
owing to the price for admission having been raised from a
guinea to 30s, though there has been an increase in almost
every department. It shonld be stated, however, that a
triennial source of income, amounting to between £500 and
£600, fell in this year, which, of course, waa not in the
last year's accounts.

Cyclone (2:23$) has put three in the 2:30 list thiB season
and all are out of dams by Monroe Chief {2:18$). Dr'
Sparks, two years old, by Cyclone, is undonbtedly the best
two-year-old that has started in the East this sea«on, as he

and has beaten all opponents. His record is 2:25, one sec-
ond slower than that made by the Valentin filly of the same
age, Fleet.

It is worth mentioning (sayB "Pavo") that before the race
for the Cesarewitch, W, Goater wrote to Mr. Godfrey askiog
him if he would like to back Primrose Day with him and
suggesting that be should do so; but the latter excuted" him-
self on financial grounds and his Bister, who acted as his
amanuensis, adopted the trainer's suggestion to the extent of
£1, which curiously enough, was the first bet she ever made
in her life!

The partiug betweeo Mr. Cassatt and W. Hay ward his
jockey, was characteristic of the model turfman Mr Cas-
fcfltt wrote Haywurd a letter in which he begged him to be
assured of his esteem, commending him for the honesty
Bkilland attention he had shown in his ( Mr. Cnssatt's) service'
and regretting the severance of the connection caused by his
own retirement, wishing him continued success in his pro-
fession, and enclosing bim a very handsome and substsotiat
present, winch he begged him to accept. The present, by the
way, waB one of the largest on record, and quite out of the

cumstances. Hayward will ride neit season for Senator

the aid of Sultana, Fiddlestick, Bertram, Olitipa, etc. That
was considered a great Bcore, but the stables of Messrs. G. L.
and Pierre Lorillard, Dywer Bros., Mr. Cassatt, elc, have
long since made it look small. Mr. Belmont began racing
in 1868, and Maid of Honor, an imported mare, by New-
minster, was, we think, his first racer. In 1869 he had a
great year, as he had in 1870, in those days he headed the
list with Glenelg, Fenian, Nellie James, Telegram, Kingfish-

At a meeting of the Eseoutive Committee of the New York
Jockey Clob held Nov. 1 it was decided that the Spring
meeting at MorriB Park for 1890 shall begin on May 30 (Me-
morial Day) and continue to and include June 14.

At the same meeting the terms for membership were re-
vised as follows:

Until further notice by the Governing Committee, whioh
will be duly published, members admitted and qualifying
under tbe present rule are not required to pay any initiation
fee. The annual does for 1890, and theieafter will be for
resident members $25, for non-resident members (over one
hundred mileB from New York City) $25. Tbe initiation fee
for resident members elected after publication of above no-
tice will be $100. No initiation fee will be required of non-
resident members.

A meeting of the Jerome Park Villa and Improvement

On Monday evening last week the famous broodmare Maggie
B. B., by Australian, dam Madeline by Boston, died at the Er-
denheim Farm. Glen Cair in the Sportsman, says she was
foaled in 1867, and bred by the late John M. Clay of Ashland

in order to have the olosest inspection of the splendid horses
and the whole estaolishment. The first to pass muster were
thirty-five half-breed stallions, beautiful animals, all led into
the circle by their tiainuB, as the State does not diepose of ,
this costly material except when the horses are fully broken

in. ,, „

The enthusiasm of the connoisseurs at seeing these hue crea-
tures was somewhat premature, for soon afterward ten thor-
oughbred stallions were brought in, the pride of the royal
Btnd of Kisber. There was no need of mentioning their
names, as was done in the case of the half breeds, as nil of
the guests knew and recognized them.

Horses like Verneuil, winner of the Ascot gold cup in
1878, Craig Millar, winner of the St. Leger in 1875, Doncas-
ter, winner of the Derby in 1S73, Buperra, winner of the
gre'at Yorkshire Stakes in 1879. Sweetbread, winner of the
Goodwood Steward Cup in 1884, and Gunnersbury, are too
well known by the international tnrf not to be recognized by
the gentleman who were assembled, so that their curiosity
remained concentrated on the fonr thoroughbreds bred of
English parents in Kisber. Verneuil had not been in the
arena for several years, as his temper had caused many in-
conveniences.

He proved so unmanageable and obstinate on the last occa-
sion that this time it was deemed advisable to put on him a
leather muzzle, from which chains weie suspended on each
side, and these were held by Btrong men. The horse conse-
quently kept perfectly quiet, with his head on one side, and
the emperor and his guests expressed their admiration at his
form.

His majesty and the visitors afterward made around of the
stable, pasture places, and the rest of the breeding establish-
ment.' For each couple of mares there is an enclosure of
nearly two acres of pasture land, with a stable divided into
two parts in the center of it. The mares have their colts and
fillies until the latter are taken away to put on a puszta and
handed over to the picturesque Eukos for supervision while
glazing on the vast plain.— London Standard.

land, and this year a foal by Woodland

This gieat matron while in the stud produced overy
year, with the exception of the yeara 1877 and 1882,
and may be said to have stood aloue among the notable
American broodmares, for ehe was the only one whose prog-
eny won the Epsom Derty.

As a race mare she was a good performer and won seve-
ral stakes in her three-year-old form, but never raced after-
wards, being purchased by Mr. Wtlch, who bred her to
Leamington. Lord Clive, the produce of the union, was
not a success as a racehorse, and in fact never started. Pera,
her next foal, was a fair race-mare and won some good ra-
ces for the Lorillard Stable Jaconet was a failure on the
tuif but a success in the stud, as she produced Sir Dixon and
Belvidere. After Jaoonet came Harold, a renowned two-
vear-old, who carried the colors of the late G. L. Lorillard.
Then came Iroquois, winner of the Epsom Derby, the
Prince of Wales Stakes and the Doncaster St. Leger, and
following came the renowned Panique, who won the With-
ers and Belmont Stakes in 1884. Her next prominent rep-
resentative on the turf was Homeopathy, who oarried Mr.
Morris colors this year and was a very respectable winner.

Taken altogether, her reoord was a hard one to beat, and
the prand old mare will always be spoken of as one of the
best matrons ever known to the American turf.

The McCarty Sale.

The sale of D. McCarthy's trotters, pacers and road horses
by Mr. Easton last week, attracted a goodly number of horse-
men. The prices were all that could be expected, consider-
ing the season, and the fact that trials were all the horses
had by way of endorsement as to speed. The horses sold and
prices received were as folio., s;

Horse Owners.

Too Many Stallions.

The following very sensible advice is from a contributor to
Horse and Stable. We doubt the propriety and efficacy of
the remedy suggested. The hard school of experience ia the
only one in which some people will learn, and breeders who
6tint their mares to half-bred and Bcrub horses will discover
when they have kept the produce four or five years and when
alter it has "eaten its head off" several times and is pat on
the market, that a stallion of interior breeding is the most
expensive animal a breeder can use.

"As the observing man visits our town, county and State
fairs he cannot help noticing the great number of colts that
Bre intended for the stud, and if he has had any experience
in keeping stallions for service, he will agr^e with me in the
remark which heads this article. Now I am not going to ad-
voote the theory that a man has no right to do as he chooses
with his own, but I do say that he has no right to induce
those with whom he* may come in contact, to be a party to

his folly. . r

"While visiting a country fair a few weeks Bince 1 not-
iced a young man proudly exhibiting a yearling to a few
of his friende, and as I came near him I anket his breed

ing 'He is by , he by , he by Gen. Knox.' 'What

is the breeding of his damV 'She belongs to the unknowns,'
said he 'Castrate him,' said I, 'before the weather gets too
cold.' 'I wonld not do that for $500,' said the proud owner
of the son of the unknown dam.

"Now I have no donbt that the dam of this colt was a good
mare, bat the very fact that her breeding could not be traced
is enough in my mind to reduce the colt to a gelding And
further than that, although the owner thought his colt was
perfect at every point, one glance would show an experienced
horse-breeder that he was faulty in more than his breeding.
Now Bnppose this young man has a neighbor who is well
posted in regard to the breeding of the great trottin" families
of th9 country, and after looking the different breeding es-
tablishments over, selects a yearling from aniorg them, sired,
say by Red Wilkes, dam by Almont, second dam by HimMe-
tonian and so on, and pays $1,000 for him. brings him home,
and the neighbors all came over to see him, and all pronoo nee
him a big. homely, coarse brute, would use him no how, and
when the next seison comes around, not a man comes to see
him but the other fellow with the unknown serves twelve
mares and turns away as many more. The next year it is
the same, and the next also, till for miles around there IB a
mean little dune-hill of a colt in every man's barnyard, sired
by the colt who had for bis dam an unknown mare And I
will venture to say that there ie not one m the lot that will
sell for $200. . . ...

Some will say farrmrs will get tired of raising that kind
after a while, and patronize the other stallions. Yes, after a
while; but if my advice had been taken and the colt castrated
at once the country would not have been filled with worth-
less scrubs. Now for the remedy. I would make every own-
er of a atallion that stands for service pay into the county
treasury $25 per year for every horse whose service fee is $15
or less and $50 for everv horie whose service fee is not more
tbau $30 or less than $15, and $75 for every horse
whose service fee is more than $30. And no stallion whose
breeding could not be proven should be allowed to serve a
mare at any price. Now, this may seem a little severe to
some but my experience is that it would bo the best that
could happen to tbe poor man with the colt whose breeding
is not good enough to warrant him in keeping him entire. I
know whereof I speak when I say that the time bas passed
when a poor man can make it profitable to keepaBecond
class stallion land this ie the only kind he can keep). So by
Jpllowing ray advice the country will be lid of a great urn-

The Horseshoe Superstition-
The origin of the horseshoe superstition has never been
satisfactorily explained. Among the theories offered, that
contained in the following is among the possibilities: The
horseshoe of old was held to be of special service as a securi-
ty against the attacks of evil spirits. The virtue may have
been assigned, perhaps, to the rule of contraries, from it be-
ing a thing incompatible with the cloven foot of the Evil One,
or from the rude resemblance which the horseshoe bears to
the rays of glory which in ancient pictures were made to sur-
round the heads of saints and angels, or, finally, from some
notion of its purity, acquired through passing through the
fire. This latter supposition receives come countenance froru
the method resorted to for the cure of horses that had become
vicious or afflicted with any distemper which village farriery
did not understand. Sach disease was invariably attributed
to witchcraft, and the mode of cure seems to imply the
belief that the imperfect purification by tire of the shoe
which the animals wore had afforded an inlet to manevolent
inflaences. Accordingly, the horse was led into the smithy,
the door was closed and barred, the shoes were taken off and
placed in the fire and the vitan or warlock was speedily un-
der the necessity of removing the spell under which the ani-
mal suffered, Sailors are, for the most part, carefnl to have
a horseshoe nailed to the mizzen mast or somewhere on
the deck near midships for the protection of the vessel.
The Chinese have their tombs built in the shape of the
horseshoe, which custom is very curious, as it may be fairly
regarded as a branch of the superstition loDg prevalent
among ourselves.

The principal gateway at Allahabad is thickly studded with
horseshoes of every size and maKe. There are hundreds of
them nailed all over the great gates, doubtless the offerings
of many a wayfarer who haB long since finished his earthly
pilgrimage. We could not find out what was the exact idea
connected with this custom — probably much the same no-
tion of lock as we attach to finding a horseshoe, especially
one with the old nails still in their place. We afterward no-
ticed that the sacred gates of Somnath are served in the Fort
at Agra, are similarly adorned. It reminded us of that curi-
ous old manorial rite still kept up at Oakham, in Rutland-
shire, where every peer of the realm is bound the first time
he enters the town to present a horseshoe to be nailed on the
old portal, which is well nigh covered wich these lordly trib-
utes. It is faid that mease any contumacious peer should
refuse to pay this tax, the authorities have a right to stop his
carriage and levy their blackmail by unshoeing one of the
horses. To invert so serious an annoyance, tbe tribute shoe
is generally ready, some being of enormous size and inscribed
with the name of the donor. "Whether these Eastern horse-
shoes were taxes or offerings I cannot tell, bat it certainly is
very curious to observe how widespread is the superstitious
reverence attached to this particular form.

It has been suggested, and apparently with some reason,
that in ancient Dagan times it may have been a recognized
symbol in serpent worship, and hence may have arisen its
common use as a charm against all manner of evil. The
resemblanc is obvious, more especially to that species of
harmless sntike which is rounded at both ends, so that head
and tail are apparently just alike. The creature moves back-
ward or forward at pie isore; hence the old belief that it actu
ally had two heads and was indestructible, as even when cut
into two parts it was supposed that the divided heads would
seek one another and reunite. It stands to reason that in a
snake-worshiping community such a creature would be held
in high reverence. Even in Scotland various ancient snake-
like bracelets and ornaments have been found which seem to
favor this theory, and at a very early period both snakes and
horse-shoes aeem to have been engraven symbols on sacred
stones. We hear of the latter having been sculptured, not
only on the threshold of old London houses, but even on
that of ancient churches in various parts of Britain. And in
tbe present Hay we all know the idea of luck connected with
findiog one, and how constantly they are nailed upon houses,
stables, and ships as a charm against witchcraft. In Scot-
land, all parls of England and Wales, and especially in Corn-
wall (where no* only on vans and omnibuses, but sometimes
even on the grim gates of old jails)' we may rind this coriuus
trace of ancient superstition. Whatever may have been its
origin, it ctrtainly is made of, and worn by, the mo-t power-
ful ministers of civilization whose tnieaion is, "good will to

We often hear a complaint against what are called the
"magnates," the "potentates," and the "swell owners" in
racing on tbe ground that they possessed such extensive es-
tablishments, that they have so many chances compared to
those of the owners of the smaller stables, as to render it im-
possible for the latter to make racing a success. In other
words, they "corner" the rich events, leaving only the bones
to owners whese means will not allow them to maintain es-
tablishments so extensive. Tbo other day, 6ays the N. Y.
Spirit of the Times, we met a gentleman who, lamenling the
growth of the numerous small race courses in the vicinity of
New York and Chicago, attributed it and "winter racing" to
this identical cause, and predicted that if it continued sum-
mer 'acing on the large race courses would be **lefr to the
'swells,'" and the smdler tracks would grow in cotseqn,«i:e.
Of course we cannot coincide in this opinion. Nor do we
think the Winter racing to which exception is taken has its
outgrowth from any such cause. Winter racing has its
growth from the fact that racing has beoome so aiti active a
medium of speculation that it has created a class of people
who have become purely professional speculators. They
live on racing, doing little or no other business than specula-
ting upon it. This dhs3 dtmaeds racing all the ytar round,
and capitalists have found pro tit in cateringto their demands.
The fact that the wealthy owners maintain large stables and
win the greater share cf the rich stakes at the Summer meet-
ing would not affect the Winter meetings even if it did not
exist. The Winter meetings owe their existence to the con-
tinued demand forspecnlation.

All experience has shown that no owner, however wealthy
he may be, "can corner the market" on race horses. We
are not sure that it has ever been attempted, but certainly
what some people call cornering has been attempted and it
has always failed. The first conspicuous incident is that
furnished by the case of Col. McDaoiel. In lS71-'72 the
great success of bis stables, with tha great winnings of Har-
ry Bassett, Joe Daniels, Tubman, etc , caused him to pur-
chase to an extent that soon found him with a stable of over
thirty — a very large one in those days. But his success did
not increase in proportion. Indeed, the expenses and fail-
ures eoon rendered him bankrupt. Mr. Pierre Lorillard
then branched out with a great stable. He paid the highest
prices and collected the choicest yearlings, but he had many
failures. He about held his own and no more, althongh
there has never been a man who was more liberal in his pur-
chases.

In 18S7 Mr. Haggin had 104 horses, mostly two-year-olds,
in training. Yet the best of the lot was Fitzjames, a very
moderate horse, while Mr. Green Morris, singlehanded with
Sir Dixon, always held Mr. Haggin safe. Take the case of
the Dwyei Brcs., who, in 1S8S, purchased upwards of $S0,-
000 worth of yearling?, yet not one of these yearlings showed
s'ake winning form last season as two-year-olds, and Mr.
Warnke, the old German flagman who purchased as a year-
ling the filly Reclare for $420, had in this filly a two-year-
old° which could concede 15 lbs. and a tearing to any colt or
filly in Dwyer Bros.' srable Mr. Scott and Mr. Belmont had
great success with their two-year-olds. Yet Mr. Winters,
with only two or tbree in training, had one in El Rio Key
which held all Mr. Scott's or Mr. Belmont's safe. The fact
of the matter is, racing is very much of the nature of a lot-
tery.

The poorest owner in the land is as likely to own the best
horse sb is the richest. Greater numbers increase the per-
centage of chances, but only in a small degree nowadays
when so enormous a number of thoronghbreds are produced.
Without men of wealth on the turf racing would never attain
the same importance. Racing for valuable stakes is essenti-
ally a rich man's sport, as he is alooe able to meet the great
expense in the shape of forfeits. Without him great slakes
conld not be made. But thid accrnes to the advantage of the
poor owners should they be so fortunate, as they often are,
to beat the richer ones.

Old Tom Hal is now in better shape than he has been for
several years, says a Tennessee correspondent. He is sturdy.
We could Dot help feeling veneration and love for the eld
boree who has given to the world such sons as Brown Jug,
Brown Hal, Hal Pointer and scores of others. Though old
in years he is without a blemish, and his back looks as
strong as when five years ot age. His muscular develo
surpasses any horse I have ever examined. This power
transmits uniformly, ap.d bis colts could win prices ic
ring of cults simply for their muscular development.

Mares for California.

FntTOR Bkeedek and Sportsman:— I noticed in your issue
of the "4th ult. that I offered $10,000 for Rosa Wilkes, 2:181,
bv George Wilkes out of a Mambrino Patchenmare. loo
have been misled, for I only offered $5,000, which I consid-
er is a very big price for an old, untried brood mare.

The report was started here by interested persons m the
East to increase the boom in brood mares. Brood marea are
dear'enough here, anyhow, without misrepresenting and try-
log to increase the value. And as my name has been used
in this connection, I have simply given you the facts. Good
Block are very expensive here; in fact, almost unbuyable in
nianv instances. The sale of Axtell was the cause of every
one raising the selling prices forty per cent. I have already
purchased four head of good trotting mares and fillies .viz.:
Four Comers, 2:20*. by Mambrino T»me. 1686 , dam Laura
Wvun be hy Abdallab, 15. She is in foal to Bell Boy (o350

to' Simmons (2744). 2:2S. A maie by Mambrino Patch en (58}
nut of a Stratbinore (40S) mare; she is in foal to Simmons.
The yearling filly Carlotta Wilkes is by Charley WilKes (3563)
a son of Red Wilkes (1749), dam by Alcantara (729). 2:23. As
can readily be seen, they are all from producing mares and
sires I think the Mambrino Boy mare is the best in the
land' She has already produced well, while her dam is the
dam*ofa2:20 trotter, and has a record herself. If bred to
Guy Wilkes the result should be a world beater, for it would
be bred the same way as Axtell, 2:12. only with more fast
records in the pedigree. At two years old. if it should be
a stallion, it would take a small bank to buy him.

Has the Brute a Soul?

The' following from the pen of the late Dr. Meynell, an
eminent Catholio priest, is striking and interesting:—
— •'That the brutes have Bonis ia as certain to my mind as
that I have a soul myself. A man must be very dull not to
see tbat the same argnnients which prove an immaterial, im-
mortal principle in ourselves prove the same for the bruteB.
Cardinal de Cusa, Cudworth, Botler, Balmes. and I dare say
others, have noticed this; it is indisputable. A brute, though
it is not a person, possesses those attributes of unity, indi-
viduality and identity which are at the base of personality.
It is not by a mere figare of speech tbat I speak of a dog or
cat as he or *Ae, that I give them a name, and soy that they
think and feel, and love those who are kind to them. Their
minds are certainly different from our own, not only in de-
gree but ia kind. I suppose Aristotle is right in saying that
the difference consists in this, that the brutes only know par-
ticolars; however, I observe that my parrot uses a concrete
word so as to give it a generio force, in the same way that
infants do. For the rest, the mind of the brute is like our
own. As they have no general notions they should be una-
ble to reflect or make a proposition; but they have feelings,
associations and affections. They are capable of improve-
ment within their own sphere to an indefinite extent. And
if anyone Bhall say that such qualities and endowments are
accounted for without the supposition of a soul, then have I
none myself. That scriptural phrase. 'The beasts that per-
ish,' muBt be bo explained as not to contradict the specula-
tion of the Wise Man as to the upward or downward destina-
tion of the life of the beaBt when he dies, nor that affirmation
of St. Paul tbat not only 'ourselves,' 'who have the first fruits
of the spirit,' but 'every creature groaneth and is in labor
i * " » waiting for the adoption of the sons of God.' To
say that a brute has a soul and to say that he is immortal is
to say the same thing.

"I spoke with one the other day who was averse to this
notion of immortality on the part of the brutes as being an
odd conceit. His own was, that God had so contrived the
union of soul and body in the brute that on the death of the
latter the former naturally perished; but on my reminding
him that God himself could not do tbat which was unintelli-
gible or contradictory, be then had recourse ta the conceit of
annihilation— so often as a man crushes a beetle or a gnat, or
slaughters a sheep, God takes occasion lo blot out the immor-
tal life by an act of omnipotence. Thus did he think God
was employed in perpetually undoing His own work by a
series of miraculous interpositions. And yet it were a less
evil that the whole material universe should be destroyed
throughout the immeasurable expanse of space than that a
single living, thinking, loving creature should perish. I say
tbat it is tbiB conceit of annihilation which is the odd con-
ceit. There is no warrant for it in nature, reason, or in
Scripture; it is purely gratuitous, and equally unworthy of
the Almighty and of common sense. Moreover, it must be a
dreadful doctrine to hold for one who has a feeling heart,
considering how many deaths men are thus answerable for
through wanton sport, or anger, or heartlesonees and indif-
ference. I assure yon that this view of the case saddened my
aport when I was a child, for though I felt as if it were a
wicked thing lo do, I could not refrain from the slaughter of
email perch. 'Why should you take away that life whioh you
cannot give?' was the saying of my betters; and I was simple
enough to believe them, that God had put this awful power
in my hands of dealing around me that annihilation I be-
lieve, of St. Thomas Aquinas, is worse than damnation."

Experiences with Quarter-Horses.

by JIM millrr'r UBEEDER,

"Yes, I bred Jim Miller, and he ran a qnarter in 21 £ Rec-
onds. I bred his sire and dam, but I've quit the business
now.flJim Miller always was a racehorse from the time be
was foaled, but when I tell you about bis Bire and dam you
will know he ought to be a good one. Roan Diok was the
horse tbat got him, and was foaled in 1876. Dick'B sire was
a horse called Black Nick, and bis dam a Boanerges mare.
Tho latter was a very strong, well-muscled, heavy-boned
mare, showing lots of good blood, but she never produced
anything fast except Dick. He was small aud backward till
he was two years old. At that age be took to running fast
and I matched him for $35 a side against a big black mare
with a good local reputation. My colt ran away from her
from the Btart. and gave promise then of excellence, which he
afterwards fullilled. Hin first race impressed me so favora-
bly that I kept right on matohfng him against anything and
everything tbat came along, often nev^r asked to see the
horse that wis to run against him— just put up the money
and bet the other crowd to u standstill. Any dititouce up to
eix hundred and fifty yarda suited bim. I never got a chanoe
to Bend him a longer journey, but I think be could have
<inne a half quite easily, which is a long way for a horse of
bis breeding.

Once a party came along from Qtiincy with a nagwhose
real name was Culiph, but whioh thoy called Bay Deonwo-D

and I made them a race at six hundred yards, for $200 aside.
The day of the race Dick was not at himBelf, high in flesh
and just out of the stnd, but he beat Denni3on easily, never
being brought to a drive. My horse was so palpably out of
form tbat Dennison's owner thought bis jockey was bought,
bo we made another race and I allowed the Quiucy man to
fence his share of the traok and turn bis horse loose without
a rider. It was a great race, but Dick was a deadener that
day, and the result was the same. I bad some advantage in
all Dick's races, for the track was my own and the horse was
accostomed to it. Besides, I had two as good boys as ever
crossed a pigskin at Bixty-five to ninety pounds. I ran Dick
in a great many races during a number of years; never missed
a race I could get for him, never took a bluff and never got
him beaten. To tell the truth, I don't think he ever was
headed.

Jim Miller's dam, Amanda Miller (Mandy, we called her
for short), could outrun Dick, but her temper always devel-
oped in training, so I never could depend on her. She was a
big, deep-chested, long-quartered, heavy muscled mare, sired
by the same horse as Dick, and out of a mare by a Printer
horse that was stolen from Virginia in the war aud taken to
Southern Iowa. Her second dam was by a son of Bertrand.
When ehe chose to try I think she was the fastest animal
for a quarter I ever saw. Dick has gone that distance in 22
seconds, and the best day he ever saw Mandy beat him an
open length, and she was fat and right off the grass at tbe
time. She was the worst-tempered mare on earth, Bnd I got
her beaten ae often as I won with her. Once I took her to
Quincy. when the races were on there, thinking to match
her against some of the thoroughbreds, but she ran away
with my boy when he was exercising her, and came down
the Btretcb at a pace that put a stopper on mafch-making. I
could have got S 1,000 for her tbat day, but I was sweet on
her then, and no money could have bought her.

I stood Dick to all kinds of mares. He never got a bad
colt. All bis get are quarter horses, and all able to run
fast.

A few years ago a gentleman came from Montana and
bought Mandy, her yearling colt, and some more horses from
me. In that lot I sold him a colt that I had purchased from
a farmer called Roach, and, though only out of a scrub
mare, that colt grew into a great horse. Mandy's youngster
is Jim Miller, who holds the record 21* s°conds, and the
other is Bob Wade, a horBe that has run a qnarter in 21|
seconds.

Mandy was sold from Montana into Colorado, was put in
training, ran a half in 48 seconds, and was sold for $1,200.
I have since lost trace of her. I think I may fairly lay claim
to having bred the beet quarter horses in America, and, in-
deed, in the world.

I must tell you one story of Dick's racing, and I ani Hone.
I mated the little roan against a right good one, called Black
Joe, and won easily. Joe was then taken to Keokuk, Iowa,
to take part in the races 'here, and a friend of mine who bad
seen Dick's race happened to be there. The black horse
won a race, and his owner accordingly Bpread himself on bis
merits. Starr asked him, casually, if his horse was ever
beaten, and the reply was: "Oh, yes; he was beat once over
in Illinois. A little roan horse there got the best of him."

"Was that Bob Wade's horse?"

"Yes."

"Well, he wasn't much."

"Wasn't much? Why, man, the firBt hundred yards of
tbat race that little roan horf.e fell out; he didn't run — he fell
out." — Horseman.

A Country Horse-Race.

Johnny, look at dat race-hoss! Jes' look at 'im. Say, mis-
ter, lemme ride de hoss, will ye?" cried a small specimen of
colored humanity, and in less lime than the telling takes half
a dozen youngBters of all colors, ages and sizes were follow-
ing at the heels of what might at one time have been ahorse,
but was now only a bag of bones completely covered with
hood and blanket from his muzzTe to tbe tip of his tail, and
with a bandage on every leg. To make the illusion more
complete the poor beast was led very carefully by a groom
dressed in tbe prevailing fashion of the race-track rubber.

"There, now!" exclaimed an old horseman sitting near,
whose attention had been attracted by the hnllaballoo of the
youngsters, "that shows yon what great fools some people are
about a horse rigged up as that one is. If I had an old,
worthless, worn-out skate that I wanted to sell I would throw
a nice, gaudy blanket over him, put a boot on each leg, and
a toe»weight on each foot, and I'll bet my head it wouldn't be
long before I would find a man ready to buy. Some folks
think it's fixin's of this sort that make the race horse, and
they are ready to buy a horse, no matter how badly crippled
he may be, if it is only possible to make them believe he has
been on a race track, while the sure-enough horseman wants
the horse that doesn't need a boot or toe-weight.

"Ineverste a horse fixed up like that fellow out in the
street that I don't think of the way we — a friend of mine and
myself— walked into the horse sharps of Prince George's
county, Maryland, some years ago.

"It was just after the National Jockey Clnb gave its inaug-
ural meeting— I think about the winter of 1882. (Me of the
atables had a horse with a wonder'ul turn of Bpeed, but be
conldn't go far, not more than half a mile, so of course he
would not do to take among the cracks. They offered him
for Bale cheap; something like $200. I thought it would just
be pie for me to buy him and take him through the 'bushes'
the following spring. The races were short, not over half a
mile, or maybe bah mile heats. After a trial, in which he
worked a half in 49 seconds, I closed with his owner and
took him to my stable. He was anything but a beauty; his
tail had never been banged, and he looked no more like a
race horse than one of those poor creatures hooked to a
street-car.

"Soon after I had broken him to harness I heard that
some fellow at Borsebead, Maryland, bad a great quarter
horse and was just breaking his heart to make a match with
some one. He had beaten all the horses round his part of
the country, aud thought he cculd do the same with any-
thing that ever stood on iron. I sent a man down to investi-
gate. He came back with the story that the horse wsb a good
looking gray, could ran a quarter in probably 24J or 25 seconds
and his owner wouldn't match for more than $100, but that
the entire county would back the horse, and when the owner
Raw bis friends betting their money he might put up more
himself.

"I set to work to prepare for the trip aud called in a young
friend to he'piue. My friend had as nice a looking hunter as
you ever saw; in fact, he looked more like a thoroughbred
raoehorse than a bunter, and I wanted him also to help u a
out. When the day came for the trip we Rot np early, went
to the stable, cleaned the hunter and hitched him to the bug-
gy; but nary a brueh touched the racehorse. We wanted him
to look as mean and dirty as possible., Then wo put in a lot
of blankets, bundageB, rubbers, a buolwt, sponge and scraper

in the buggy and set out for Horsehead. .The day was cold,
and we traveled slowly, because we didn't want to reaoh onr
destination before night, and it was necessary to lead our
good horse very Blowly over the rough roads. About six

0 clock, when we were within a mile of the village, we Btopped
and changed horses. Tbe good one we smeared with dirt
and put to the buggy, and tbe hunter we cleaned as neatly as
possible, put a blanket and hood on him and bandaged his
legs carefully, so that he looked like a well-cared-for race*
horse. In about half an hour we reached our destination,
the cross-roads Btore, where we were met by a ourious lot of
countrymen, who, in answer to our inquiries about a stable
and hotel, showed us a neat barn just across the road from
the store, where we could put up our horses. The hunter we
fixed up in the most approved fashion, with straw np to hiB
belly, and the other fellow we left to hustle for bimselt. Then
we made for the store, where, during a supper of craokera
and eheeBe, the conversation turned on horses.

"Beckon you nns got quite a peart racehorse, ain't yo'?'
said one fellow.

" 'Rather fair,' I answered; 'but he has been traveling
some, is quite tired, and isn't in very good plight.'

" 'Don't Bee how he Kin be so very tired. Never did see
fellows so particular with a hoss. From thb way you rubbed
him and fixed his bed, he oughter be pretty peart. Say,
Mister, let's have a squint at him.'

"Taking a lantern we went over to the barn, and carefully
taking the blanket off the hunter, I exposed his glosBy coat
to the view of the admiring crowd.

" 'MiBter, yon nns better lay over here to-morrow an' Bee
the fun. We air goin' to h«ve a bully race 'twixt two horses
fer S25 a corner. I don't reckon they'll let your'n in, 'but
you moigbt git some Bort of a race. If you don't get no
other I'll just run my old s-addle mare agin your buggy horse
fer a $10 note.'

" 'What! that fellow?' pointing to the good one. 'Why,
he don't look as f he could head a steer In a lane. He ain't
worth his salt except for my business. But we are not in a
hurry, and as I am in for sport I'll stay, if my friend is will-
ing.'

"Of course the friend was willing, and after putting the
blanket on aeain we relumed to the store

"After a bit more talk and a drink, the countryman Baid:

" 'Come on, stranger, air you ready to put up your money
fer that match wiih my mare?'

"Yes," I answered; 'I am afraid it is throwing it away, but

1 will put up just for fun.'

"When the stake had been posted and the details of the
match fixed, we said good-night and retired to our room.
Whew! What a room it was! 'Pon my eonl, I don't believe
there was a whole pane of glass in any of the windows, and
we were afraid we would freeze to death before morning.
Suddenly, while we were thinking of some plan to shut out
the cold, I heard voices under the window, and, moving over
to see what was up, I heard the fellow I made the match wiih
say to someone:

" 'You see Henry, and git him to bring his hoss Jake
White over to the lane to-morrow, and we will win all them
fellers' money. I'll let them beat my old mare, and then I
reckon they'll be kinder stuck np. an' Heory kin make a
match for a hundred, an' he will have to give me $26 fer
working this thing fer bim. Min' now, an" do what I say.'
"1 didn't say a word, only laughed a little to myself, and,
after fixing the window aB best I could, went to bed.

"Morning broke clear and cold. The ground was perfect
ly dry, and that was all I wanted. I was sure of winning
some money.

"After the horees were fed and shaped up a bit we had a
breakfast of bacon, eggs, hot-cake and ooffee, and over our
pipes talked with tbe store loungers as to the probabilities of
the day's raceB; nearly all of them, in order to keep our cour-
age up (o the proper betting point, telling us we would win,
sure.

"About 11 o'clock we started for the 'lane' where the races
were to be run, and on our arrival found three or four hun-
dred people waiting. This lane was five hundred and fifteen
yards long, abont forty feet wide, and was deep and sandy —
in fact, no track could have been made better for runners.
The $25 matoh race over, my time was^t hand. After a lot
of fixiog and fooling I put my friend, a very good gentleman
jock who weighed 135 pouuds on my horse; protesting all the
while because the other fellow put a little 100-pound darkey
on his.

"At last the word |'go' was giver, and the horses got a
beautiful start. When they had gone two hundred yards the
countryman's horse showed a trifle ahead and the crowd set
np a terrific yell. My friend began to move and flourish his
whip to make believe he was ridiDg, when in reality he was
pulling so as to win in the last few strides by a short head, if
possible, and he succeeded admirably.

"Then the countryman came to me apparently very angry.
'MiBter, I thought yo' said yo' hoss conldn't run. I reckon
yo' didn't tell it jes' straight. So' got my money, but I got
a hoss what kin beat yourn fer a $100 note, an' if you're any
sort of a sportsman like what we raise 'bout here yo' will
give me a chance to get even.'

'Of course I was very much pleased at the horse's winning,
and didn't see why he should be angry. It was a fair race,
and I was perfectly willing to give him satisfaction, bnt
thought the stake was too high; if he would bet meahundred
to Beventy-five I would try it again just for fan.

"He agreed, and after we put np the money I left the horse
with my friend and started to walk away, bnt was immedi-
ately surrounded by a crowd offering to bet three to one
against my horse. I took all such bets. Then they dropped
to two to one. and finally to even money, nutil I stood to
win about $2,700, when I stopped beoause I could get no
more. I remarked that as I had just beaten one horse I
didn't see why I shouldn't beat another, when some fellow,
a little more friendly than the others, came up and told me
very quietly it was a job and that I waB running against
the best horse sooth of Mason andlHxon's line. I pretended
to be very muoh frightened, and asked several people if they
wanted to draw their bets. But no, they were satisfied, and
I of course had to be.

"When the quarter-horse Jake White came out and the
blanket was removed, I must say I saw as nearly a perfeot
horse in appearance as ever had a brush passed over him.
There were two breakaways before they gnt the word to an e-
ven start, from which White immediately showed iu front by
half a length, a position he maintained for three hundred
yards, wheo the bay began to dose on him and the tight be-
gan. Both riders rode furiously, and at the very last the
bay got his head and neck in front and won in the fast time
of 231 seconds. Maybe you think there wasn't a mad orowd
there!

"I oolleoted my money, and just as we were about to start
home one fellow said:

"Good Lord! If that old buggy horse of yourn kin run as
fast as that, what kin the race-horse do? I never gave him
a chance to tiad out."-v<j. £. Tompkins, in Outing.

THE FARM.

Fattening Turkeys.

Turkeys need to be confined and fed all they can be made
to eat, if they are to be fatieoed rapidly. Left to roam about
they will ruo off flesh as fast as it can be pnt on. It ia better
to contiDe them in a dark place, only lettiDg in enough
light for them to see at feeding times. After twelve days or
two weeks of Ench treatment they will be fat. If kept much
longer thus their digestion gives way, possibly from lack cf
gravel, and they grow poor again, however heavily fed.

Pig Feeding.

The Michigan Agricultural College append to the pig-feed-
ing experiment the following notes:

*It will be noticed that none of the pigs lost in weight dur-
ing the entire test.

'The Da roc- Jerseys made the greatest gain during a sing1e
period, 75 pouDds, or 5 3 pounds per day for the two. The
least gain in any period was also made by the Duroca, 15
pounds, or 1.07 pounds per day.

'The greatest gain made by tha Berksbires in one period
was 67 pounds, or 4.7 pounds per day, and the least 25 lbs.,
or 1.7 per day.

'The largest gain made by the Poland-China was 59 pounds,
or 4 2 lbs., per day, for one period and the least 19 pounds,
or 1.3 pounds per day.

'The cros6-breed's largest gain in two weaks was 51 pounds
or 3.6 pounds per day, and the least was 23 pounds, or 1.6
per day.

'The greatest amount of foci eaten in any one period by
the Duroc-Jerseys was 327 l^s; on this they gained 59 lbs.
The least amount eaten in one period was 95 lbs.; on this
they gained 53 lbs.

'The greatest amount of food consumed in any one period
by the Berksbires was 20$ lbs.; and the least gam made was
25 lbs. On the small-st amount of food in one period, 77
lbs.; a gain of 41 lbs. were made.

'The Poland-China ate 274 lbs. in one period and gained
42 lbs. in the same time. The least food consumed in one
period was 75 lbs., the gain 30 lbs.

The largest amount of food consumed by the cross-breeds
was 214 lbs. in two weeks; they gained 51 lbs, the largest
gain made. The smallest amount eaten was 57 lbs., and the
least gain 23 lbs., was made the same two weeks.'

Milk Test at the London Dairy Show.

The milk test at the show of the British Dairy Farmers1 As-
sociation which supplies food for reflection, a writer in the
Breeeders' Gazette says is ry far the must Important test
held any place in the world, not only on account of the Dumber
of cows enter, d, but because of the accuracy of the methods
and the high standar i of attainment. Financially, I believe,
the exhibition is not a great success, as it seems difficult to
interest the people of the metropolis in what is chiefly im-
portant as a means of comparison and study. As a spectac-
ular show fat stock is much more attractive to the multitude
and the horse grea'ly excels either. But it will be an inter-
national calamity if lack of means compels the association to
abandon its milk test, or make it less attractive to exhibitors
or less instructive to other people.

In the test this year sixty one cows were entered, and forty-
eight were actually teBted. These included Shorthorns,
Jerseys, Guernseys, Bed Polls, Ayrsbires, and Holstein-
Friesians. There are separate classes ftr Short-horns,
Jerseys and Guernseys, with prizes for each. The others are
merely awarded medals if thought worthy. All, however are
tested id the same way and graded according to the same
scale, so that for purposes of comparison they may all be
considered in one class.

The scale employed is that in use now for several years,
and which their experience seems to approve, viz : one point
for each pound of milfc, twenty points lor each pound of but-
ter fat, four points for each Dound of other solids, and one
point for^each ten days since calving after the first twenty.
The average yield of two days was taken as the basis of com-
pbrison, and separate analyses vrere made of the morning and
evening milk. A novel feature was introduced this year,
however, in a very heavy penalty (ten points deducted) from
any cow whose milk failed to show three per cent fat. Both
the premium Shorthorns suffered this loss, though in both
the average of the morning and evening milk showed over
three per cent. fat. Bot even with this large deduction there
were but two other cows in the eDtire show that scaled up to
them — a Jersay and a Red Poll.

Another change was made this year in dropping the sep-
arate class for registered Short-horns. The Short-horns
which have always made the big records at this show are not
eligible to registry. Heretofore they have had a separate
class for these, bet last year the registered cows did so poorly
in the way of quality, that the committee refused to award
bdv premiums; and now they must show with their unregis-
tered sisters, which practically excludes them altogether, as
they stand no chance of a premium. And this is only an-
other illustration of the folly of breeding and feeding for
show instead o f practical use. The unregistered Short- horn,
which ha; always made so tine a record in the milk tests at
the London Dairy Show, owes all her excellence to her Short-
horn blood. She is in fact a pure bred Short-horn — the
Short-horn of fifty years ago — bred for practical use, a Btrict-
ly general prtrpose cow. But to the test.

Of the forty-eight cowb tested, but four scored a hundred
poiots or more — two Sbort-horos, a Red Pollard and a Jersey
— three general -purpose cows, one specifically- bred dairy
animal. No Guernsey, no Ayrshire, no Holstein could reach
the figure, though, jadging from looks alone, the reporter of
the Live Stock Journal considered the Ayrshire section the
best in the show. Another tact of the same sort is that the
best Short-horn, and the cow making the highest score of any
in the test, was unnoticed in her class, receiving at the hands
of the judges not even a "commended."

If we consider butter alone, the first-prize Jersey, Baron's
Progress, was the best in the show, and tbe best that has
ever been tested, in public or in private, backed by a regul&r
chemical analysis. In fact, as a butter cow alone she broke
the record all to "smithereens." She made the highest record
of any Jersey ever entered at thiB show. Sbe gave the richest
milk ever analyzed in England — 8.55 per cent fat; and sbe
gave the largest yield of fat ever obtained from twenty-four
hours' milk of any cow. She gave in twenty-four hours, as
an average of the two days, 36 lbs. of milk which by analysis
contained the enoimous amount of 2.94 lbs. of fat. This in-
dicates a possible yield of over three and a half pounds of
butter (3.67 lbs); and she actually did make, from one day's
rnilkvin the specialJergey test, where the" milk was run
tbroiigh. % separate and tbe cream, oenraed, three poinds

five ounces of butter, without salt. The analysis in this
case shows a little better than the churn (as it ought to do if
the better is "honest") and, as I have said, is the best ever
made. All hail, say I, to the real queen of the butter daily.

Counting butter-fat alone, the cows would otand as fol-
lows:

1st. Baron's Progress, Jersey, yield, 2.94 lbs. fat.

2d. Gadfly, Jersey, yield, 2 01 lbs fat.

3d. Corenet, Red Polled, yield, 1 9S lbs. fat.

4th. Molloy, Shorthorn, yield, 1 75 lbs. fat.

The Red Polled cow bred and exhibited by Garrett Taylor,
and the only one in tbe test, shows well to the front in any
view. In fact, for an all-round cow. she is almost an ideal
animal, giving a large flow (4S.2 lbs.) of well-balanced milk—
4.16 per cent fat and 8.79 per cent of other solids.

Tne great Guernsey cow Flukes 2d, that made so fine a
record at the Royal in June ]a«t, showing by analysis 2.25
lbs. of fat from one day's milk, was entered in the special
Guernsey test at this show and made 1 lb. 13| oz. of butter
in one day. Considering that she was in the flush of her
milk in early summer, a yield of over a pound and three-
quarters of butter a day in October is certainly a very fine
record, and shows her to be a grand dairy cow if she does
weigh over 1,200 pounds.

One more lesson which this test impresses— not new, but
which often escapes notice — is that the variation in the total
solids of standard milk is almost entirely in the fat. The
great Jersey cow for instance, Baron's Progress, with a yield
of 36 pounds of milk and total solids averaging 17.46 per
cent, was only a shade above the rirst-prize Shorthorn" in
solids other than fat. The yield of other solids for the Jer-
sey is 9.21 per cent, or 3 31 pounds per day; for the Short-
horn is 9 04 per cent, and 5 33 pounds per day. For any
purpose except butter, the Shorthorn far excels and deserves
her higher score — though according to the new rule (ten
points of)') her score is really lower— 110.3 for the Shorthorn,
117 2 for the Jersey.

Feeding the Horse-

George A. Martin in his valuable little book on "The Fam-
ily Horee," devotes one chapter to the all important sub-
ject of feeding the animal. In this attention is oalled to the
tact that the horse has relatively the smallest stomach m
proportion to its bulk and weight of any domestic animal.
The entire anatomy and physiology of its digestive appara-
tus show that the food of the hoise should be nutritious in
quality, supplied often and in comparatively small quanti-
ties. The food, of whatever kind, mnst be of good quality,
sound and wholesome; but beyond this no specific rules can
be laid down for general application. The amounr and char-
acter of the food must vary with the size and constitution of
the horse, the climate and season and the amount of work
required.

Oats are pre-eminently the grain for horses if only one
kind of grain is fed. Oats ought to be at least three months
old before they are fed. Many feeders now have their oats
crushed even for young horses, to insure their being per-
fectly digested. Timothy hay or Alfalfa with oats may be
regarded in this country as a standard feed for horses.

Corn, when fed to horses, should be combined with ni-
trogenous foods. When fed in the form of fine meal it ought
to be mixed with several times its own bulk of cut hay or
other coarse food. If fed alone, corn meal becomes impact-
ed in the stomach and canses colic. Wheat brand is a valu-
able feed for horses either in form or warm mush or mixed
with ground oats, corn or barley. Corn fodder, if bright
and well cured, is a better feed than is generally supposed
when cat up and mixed with nitrogenous material. Carrots,
fed a few at a time two or three times a week, cool the sys-
tem and assist digestion, as do parsnips and wurtzel.

The harder tbe work and the colder the weather the great-
er proportion of carbo-hydrates is required in the food. In
the stables of one of the street rail-roads of Chicago, where
thousands of horses are kept, the food consists of ground
oats and corn with cut hay. The latter is damped sufficiently
to make the meel adhere to it, and the whole is mixed to-
gether. In warm weather the ground feed consits of two
parts of oats and one of corn, in winter there is one equal
proportion each. Many advantages are gained by crushing
the grain and cutting the hey and straw.

Every horse owner should keep on hand linseed meal or
a quantity of flaxseed and feed it to the animal whenever he
shows signs of constipation. This has a large perrentage
of muscle forming material and exerts a soothing effect on
the Btomach.

Suggestions to Feeders.

Prof. Gulley, director of the Texas experiment station, has
been making a series of experiments in cattle feeding, and as
his deductions will apply well to a great many beef growers
we publish them: —

Two things are essential in fattening animals: —

1. To keep tbe animal comfortable and quiet.

2. To induce him to eat the largest possible amount of
nutritious food.

One is of little value without the other. To keep the cattle
comfortable, shelter from rain is indispensable.

Range cattle, as a rule, will not do their best under close
confinement — i. e., tying up by the head. They may be shut
up in a building, but need room to move around.

Wild cattle must be handled quietly. This po'nt we wish
to emphasize, for it is entirely overlooked by too many cattle-
men. A barking dog and a noisy, loud-mouthed man are
two things that should not be permitted to enter a cattle
feeding pen. It should be remembered that when a natural-
ly wild steer is struck with a whip, or dist orbed in any way,
he stops gaining weight for a time and the food consumed is
a loss.

This is not a sentiment, but a business matter of working
the animal machine to its full capacity. DehorniDg seems
to effect a wild Bteer somewhat as "throwing" the horse in
the Rarey method of breaking colts. Then the head remain-
ing sensitive for some time wild steers are subdued and
stand quietly together in a way that must be seen to be be-
lieved.

We are of the opinion that steers should be dehorned but a
short time before shutting up to feed so that they may be fat-
tened while their heads are somewhat tender.

Cattle should be fed twice a day at a regular time, if con-
fined in a building, by the same persons, and strangers ex-
cluded for at least a month after the cattle are shut up. Feed
what tbe cattle will eat, and clean out mangers and trouehs
once every day. Cattle dislike feed that has been picked over
and breathed on.

Vary the rations .occasionally to stimulate the appetite;
have salt always before them, or better, if the feeder is care-
ful,, sprinkle a little salt on the feed, trot care must be exer-
cised not to. giro too mu,ob,

Making a Rich Manure Pile.

It is not alone nor chiefly the bulk of manures that makes
them valuable. This is the most important lesson that far-
mers have learned by the use of commercial fertilizers
which are always in concentrated form. There is a widely
prevalent feeling among farmers that they cannot afford to
make or handle poor manure. It is doubtless the fact that
considering only immediate results and the smaller cost of
distribution, the concentrated fertilizer produces more crops
for the same money than are produced by average barnyard
manure made by poorly fed stock, and largely increased in
bulk by grain straw used for bedding. Even when decom-
posed, such manure is only rotten straw, and has little fer-
tilizing value, especially if exposed during the fermenting
process to rain and drying winds. It pays to feed better,
and make manure that at first is rich enough to draw out
and let its decomposition take place in the Boil. If manure
piles were richer, there would be less left in barnyards next
Spring, because the owner hadn't time to draw it out.

Notes.

Exports from Boston in one week included 1,719 live cattle
and 3,S37 quarters of beef.

A steer's transportation from Boston to Liverpool costs six
dollars more than a steerage passenger ticket.

Poultry raising in California should be made to pay, for
one day la«t week 7000 chickens passed Colfax en route to
San Francisco from the East.

The City of Mexico Herald is advocating the exclusion o*
cattle imported from the United States. Mexican cattle rais-
ers, it says, cannot compete with Americans.

Tbe gold medal of the Paris Exposition has been awarded
to Vermont for the best butter. The winner is G. S. Moul-
ton of Green Mountain Stock Farm, West Randolph. Good
for the Green Mountain State.

Experiments made at Cornell University show that milk
may be heated to 130 or 135 degrees without injury to its
butter-making qualities. It is worthy of note that this is
the temperature which begins to destroy the active principle
in rennet, which is totally destroyed at 150 degrees.

In speaking of the indifference of English breeders to the
display of merino sheep at the PariB Exposition, the London
Live Stock Journal Eays: It is curious that the foremost
breed of sheep in the world should be entirely tabooed by
British breeders, and that no attempt should be made to in-
troduce it, even for crossing purposes.

S. B. Church is now near the head of the class in the chick-
en business. His Spangled Hambnrgs and Brown Leghorns
are especially fine. Last week he brought in a load of these
beautiful fowls which had been selected and purchased for
the Mikado of Japan, by an intelligent agent of that impor-
tant personage who had been looking over the State for fan-
cy chickens. By taking a large number Mr. Church let him
have them at $32 per dozen, though there W6re in the lot one
Brown Leghorn aDd several Hamburgh cocks that were
worth $10 each.

The Jersey Bulletin says: "When the Jersey fails to make
a record it is published, and when the other breeds make one
it is published." and calls attention to the fact that at the
New England Fair, held at "Worcester, MaBS , a Jersey cow,
from 151 pounds 12 ounces of milk made 7 pounds 8£ ounces
of butter. The Jersey cow Clissie Copperas, at the Wheel-
ing (W. Va ) Fair, in three days gave 71 pounds 6 ounces of
milk, which made 11 pounds 5 ounces of butter, less than 7
pounds of milk to one pound of butter.

It is said that a combination of Western live stock export-
ers, headed by a Chicago firm, have devised a new plan to
ship their cattle to Europe by utilizing the between decks of
the oil-tank steamships which now cross the Atlantic "Ocean
with bare decks. AU the tonnage has been chartered by the
combination, which will first experiment as to what effect the
vapor from the oil will have npon cattle. It is thought the
odor from the cargo will be a beneht rather than an injury
to the animals.

A prominent stock buyer says: "Large numbers of de-
horned cattle have lately arrived in the stock yards of
Chicago. They are invariably in good fhsb, free from born
wounds or scratches; the hides were sound and the flesh not
bruised. Many an honest cattle man has stood gazing at a
pen of dehorned steers, and become converted then aDd
there. The cattle are better off, there is no Iosb or discon-
tent or unrest; they have nothing to do but to eat and re-
main quiet for the fut to accumulate. Said one of tbe heav-
iest buyers of cattle: T would, and do, give 15 to 20 cents
per 100 poundb more for dehorned cattle than for the same
description of horned, Bimply because I know their flesh is
not bruised, and the hides are invariably sound and all
right.*"

A drove, consisting of 738 turkeys, passed through Fresno
last week en route for Stockton, says tbe Fresno Expositor.
From thaf point they will be shipped by water to San Fran-
c'sco. These turkeys were raised by several parties near
Centerville in Fresno connty. Seven men were in charge of
the flock. It is understood that the owners of the turkeys
failed to come to terms with the railroad company and took
this, which they claim cheaper, method of convfyance. The
fowls are the products of three small poultry ranches near
Centerville, and are valued in the neighborhood of $1500.
The drivers bojje to nmke Stockton within a week if nothing
serious happens their leader, a noble gobbler, which proudly
walks in the front ranks, bis well oiled plumage being par-
ticularly attractive.

C. W. Hammond of Crown Point, Ky , last week turned a
fine blooded mare, valaed at £500, and a large ox into the
same inclosure. The two animals had been together several
times before, but as soon as they entered the lot yesterday
they rnshed at each other. Two or three farm hands were
present, and attempted to separate them, but narrowly es-
caped serious injury aDd failed in the endeavor. The maie
kicked tbe ox in the side with both feet, nearly stuuning
him, but the latter recovered and gored the mare two or
three times. Both fooght with the greatest fury. The mare
both kicked and bit, tearing chunks of flesh from the ox
with her sharp teeth, while she, in turn was raked again and
again by the ox's sharp horn^. BMh were cohered with blood
but coniinued the battle as desperately as ever despite all the
efforts of the men to separate them. At last the ox pluDgfd
h»s horn entirely through the thick part of the mare's neck.
The blow was fa'al, but as the mare staggered, her weight
broke the ox's horn short off, and she fell and died -
berbody. The ox was so badly kicked Jand
died in the afternoon.

A Cyclone Day on Records.

Last Saturday, November 9th, at the Bay District
Track, will long be reckoned by turfmen throughout the
United States as the cyclone day for the smashing of
past records by trotters. The list shows: Sunol, 3. year-
old, 2:10J; Regal Wilkes, 2 year-old stallion, 2:20|; Palo
Alto, 7-year-old, 2:12^; Faustino, yearling stallion, 2'35,
and Stamboul, 7-year-old stallion, to beat 2: 14J, finishing
the mile in 2: 13 J, after a single break upon a 2:12 rush.
Glory enough for one day and for California bred trot-
ters! Palo Alto and Stamboul would have reduced the
time below the 2:12 of Axtell is the belief of every prao"
ticed turfman who witnessed the performance, had it not
been for the one break by each. That it is iu the two is
a conviction that awaits only the complete accomplish-
ment by each. It will surely come to pass. But
as the record of Saturday stands, of Sunol, of
Regal Wilkes, and of Faustino, it is the best
yet shown to the world in trotting. Sunol, the
daughter of Electioneer and Waxana, daughter of
General Benton and Waxy, by Lexington, bred at Palo
Alto, heads the list of 3-year-olds of the turf in her un-
rivalled performance. In point of Bpeed, for any age,
only Maud S, Jay Eye See, trotters, and the pacer John-
son have excelled that of Sunol. But each of these were
aged at the time of record. It is confidently believed
that Sunol will lower the record of Maud S— 2:084— as a
6-year old. Of her excelling it in time there is no
doubt, conditioned only that accident or death shall not
occur.

Regal Wilkes has stamped himself as the very best
stallion of his age ever started in a public performance
and it must be a source of much gratification to Mr. Cor-
bitt, his owner, that Guy Wilkes is transmitting such
great speed to his produce. That he is the best son of
George Wilkes, no one questions, and he is so recognized
in the East as the many mares already sent to San Mateo
Stock Farm testifies to.

The performance of Faustino on Saturday is another
famous victory for California bred trotters. This year-
ling stallion has plucked the blue ribbon from the Ken-
tucky champion stallion colt Von Wilkes, and is master
of his class. The three clear record-breaking events trans-
fer from the East to California the wreath of complete
victory, and contributes to the belief that to this State
wi\l come the pride and glory of the breeding of the two
it.'nute trotter.

tn the fresh light of these great results of last Natur-
;%y tbe theory of Randolph Huntington, of Roobeiter,

New York, that the Hambletouians or Abdallahs, have
no speed value, cannot be sustained or intelligently de-
fended. Futhermore, the four performances are in de-
monstration of Senator Stanford's conviction that the
infusion of thoroughbred blood is a prime essential to
the trotter. The noted breeding farms of California,
furnish almost infrangible testimony to the soundness of
this condition, and removes the theory to replace it with
assured principle. The Abdallah and cognate blood, as
it is manifesting itself in the Hambletonians and other
choice straius of speediest and most valued trotters, can-
not be belittled by the dogmas of theorists, or overborne
by hobby-riders "Blood will tell," and the testimonies
derived from the best breeding farms in the whole land,
by the most successful breeders, is in ample attestation
of this sound old rule.

It can now be fairly claimed that California leads the
world in trotters, and the country in runners. Axtell
is no longer the king of the three-year-olds. Only a
brief time will be required to witness the lowering of the
record of Maud S. by a California bred trotter. The
oomiug cyclone day will be to the proof.

The Futurity Stake.

"Taking time by the forelock" is what many of the
breeders of California are doing. A deep interest is man-
ifested on all hands iu the success of the $3,000 (guar-
anteed) Futurity Stake for trotting foals of 1890, and al-
ready several of those interested have sent in their en-
tries so that the matter may not bo forgotten at the last
moment. This is bound to be one of the most valuable
stakes ever instituted for trotters in the State, as most
cordial support is warranted from scores of the largest
breeders both in and out of California. Entry blanks
have been forwarded to a large number of horse owners,
but some may have been overlooked in the hurry, if
those who have not received them will make applica-
tion to this office, blanks will be forwarded immediately.
Entries close on or before January 1, 1890.

The Blood Horse Association.

The regular fall meeting of the P. C. B. H. A, com-
mences to-day at the Bay District Track, and ft om the
entry list that has been published, the assurance is war-
ranted that it will be one of the most successful that this
old time organization has ever held.

The stables at the track are already filled with horses
that have at least a State reputation and some ot them
are known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The purses
and stakes are large and the over night and extra events
will have liberal sums allowed them. The association
has always had a generous and hearty support not only
from the San Francisco public, but the week is taken
advantage of by many from the interior, who delight in
the sport of the turf. The weather promises to be all
that could be desired and there seems to be nothing to
prevent a very successful four days' racing.

The Friendly Stakes.

Secretary Lawrence of the Coney Island Jockey Club
and Secretary Brewster of the Washington Park Club]
Chicago, are models for the officials of other associations
to copy after. There is not a season but one or the other
puts some sensational event before the turf loving public
and now they have put their heads together and an-
nounce in this issue that during the season of 1890 the
Friendly Stakes will be run at the summer meeting of
the Chicago Club and at the fall meeting of the Coney
Island Jockey Club. The conditions of the race are as
follows, the entries to close on December 2nd:

The Friendly Stake— A sweepstake for two-year-olds (foals
of 1888), to be run at the summer meeting of 1890 of the
Washington Park Clnb. Chicago, and at the autumn meeting

bility for one forfeit only, aDd are entitled to start at either or
both places; thoBe starting for the Friendly Stake at Wash-

The Sale of Sunol,

Last Tuesday morning the horse world of California
was surprised at learning that Senator Stanford had dis-
posed of his inimitable filly, Sunol, 2:10^, to Robert Bon-
ner of New York. It seemed almost impossible to
believe the statement, but the rumor had gained curren-
cy on Monday evening, and there were many who re-
fused to credit it, even offering to bet that the owner
would not sell his fastest horse. Senator Stanford was
interviewed in reference to the matter, and he acknowl-
edged that the sale had been consummated; ever since
Sunol made her memorable two year-old record of 2:18
the great newspaper trotting-horse king of New York
has had his eye on the filly, as she is bred on the lines
that suit Mr. Bonner, and from which he believes the
future trotting king or queen will be produced. In an
interview with Mr. Stanford that gentleman stated that
every horse on the ranch is for sale with the exception of
Electioneer, Palo Alto, and ore or two other stallions.
The Palo Alto Stock Farm was not started as a fad, but
as the outcome of a long preconceived opinion that it
was from the thoroughred that the trotter of the future
must come, Mares have been bred with that object in
view, and for the purpose of making a profit out of the
investment. For several years Palo Alto has been the
objective point of many a traveller who has visited the
Pacific Coast, all anxious to secure a colt from the justly
celebrated farm.

Senator Stanford said tbe prices may seem high to
those who visit the farm, "but whenever I place a stated
amount on an animal, it is with the conviction that the
horse is worth the money asked and if the would be pur-
chasers de not like the price it cannot be helped." No
matter who may own the filly Palo Alto Stock Farm
will always have the credit of having bred the fastest
three-year-old in the world, at least up to the present
time, and that of itself is a fact to be justly proud of. If
all things are favorable Sunol will be started at Napa
to-day to beat her record. There are at present there,
Palo Alto 2:12$, Phallas 2:13|, Stamboul 2:13} and Sun-
ol 2:10J, and at least three of them will start to-day if
the track is in good condition and the day be suitable.
No mat'er what time Sunol may make, she will be kept
in charge by Senator Stanford until the fall of next year
so that there is a strong possibility that the great trotting
queen may be seen on the Californian tracks next seas-
on. Senator Stanford feels coufident that she will be
able to trot in 2:01 in time, and in all probability she
may make a much lower mark than she has already be-
fore leaving for her future home.

Robert Bonner's Horses.

In the Examiner of Friday morning there appeared
the following article from the pen of Mr. Bonner. A8
we go to press at an early hour Friday morning, there is
no chance to n p'y to his letter and b -ing out all the facti

to show that he is wrong, but will do so next week:

New y0RK, November 11th.

Robert Bonner has sent to tbe World, over his signature
the following interesting letter:—

As your reporter called at my residence last evening to see
if there was anything new iu the horse world, it has occured
to me to give you something over my own signature I have
just read in the California Beeedee and Sportsman a not
over-courteous article, in which the editor says- "Who has
ever heard of a horse training after Mr. Bonner purchased
him? and then suggests that a beginning be made at my
farm for information in that line. Perhaps it may interest
the pubho if I begin at my farm to slate that I have bred or
raised a yearling— the only yearling I ever had iu harneSB—
that trotted a quarter in 44 seconds; a two year old that trot-
ted at a 2:31 gait; a three year old that trotted at a 2-16 gait-
a four year old that trotted at a 2:16 gait; a four year old that
trotttd a full mile in 2:22J, and an aged horse (Majolioa) that
has a pubho record of 2:15. Besides these I have raised a

startle's feat.

Startle, for whom I paid $20,000 when he was three years
old, had a record of 2:36. He "trained on" with only my
road driving to trot publicly at an advertised trial, as a five-
year-old, in 2:19$ without having been even one night out of
my city stable. He was the first horse to turn the Fleet-
wood track in 2:19.

Maud Macy had a record of ?:27£ when I bought her.
She was the first horse to trot in 2:17 on the exercising track
on my farm. She has since trotted in 2:16f.

Manetta, when I bought her, had trotted in 2:42 for Mr.
Alexander of Kentucky. John Murphy afterwards drove
her in 2:16^ on my track.

Lucy Cuyler had trotted for Colonel West of Kentucky in
2:29 when I bought her. Subsequently she was timed in
2:15J to wagon on my track, half a mile, to a top wagon, in
1:05, the fastest time ever made in that way of going.

WHATPEERLESS DID.

I could give many instances of horses training while in my
possession, but I will content myself with one more.

In 1860 I bought from Mr. Johnson, the Baltimore bank-
er, the well-known mare Peerless. At that time she trotted
a mile in 2:23 to wagon, and was being trained by the great
driver, HiTam Woodruff. I took her home and drove her on
the road for about two years, when I sent her back to Mr.
Woodruff to train. One day he told the well-known Wall
street broker, William Parks, and myself that he could drive
her to beat the best time that bad ever been made by any
horse to wagon. He named the following Saturday.

On that day Mr. Parks and two other gentlemen wentinto
the judges' stand and timed her a mile to wagon in 2:231,
which, by the way, was the fastest mile Hiram Woodruff was
evtr timed in his life, either in public or private, behind a
trotting horse.

I hope I have now satisfied the editor of the California
Breeder and Sportsman that I own and have owned horses
that have "trained on." Robert Bonner.

Changing the Rules.

The American Turf Congr388 has been in session this
week in Chicago, and have made changes in the rules, as
follows:

Rule 4 was changed so that the conditions referring to
maidens shall mean maidens at the time of entry unless
otherwise specified. Rule 10 was changed to read that where
no entrance fee is required the declaration must be accompa-
nied by 5 per cent, of the first money. Ku'e 21, relating to
change of name, was changed so that no association shall re-
ceive an entry of or allow a horse whose name has been
changed anywhere to run over its course. Rule 48 was
changed so that the owner or trainer muBt consent to the
declaration of the jockey to carry legal overweight.

Rule 5 now reads: "Every horse whose jockey has weighed
out and whose number has been put up is a starter, and
is liable for the whole stake. If a horse is excused after he
is weighed out all book bets on the race are void, and addi-
tional time before the race shall bo granted by the judgeB. In
auctions or Paris mutuals bets stand, but money bet on an
excnsed hoTse shall be refunded."

In rule 92, section A, relating to Stake penalties, and sec-
tion C, "beaten and maiden allowances" was stricken out.

Rule 129 was amended so that jockeys, grooms and stable
boys found on the betting grounds may be fined as well as
suspended or ruled off.

Rule 140 was stricken out and a new rule adopted in its
place reading: 'If an ineligible horse be entered for the pur-
pose of betting against him, and he finishes first, or if he be
entered for the purpose of having him disqualified by objec-
tions made after the race, all bets shall be declared off."

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Mr. Hicks, in his let-
ter to you, has written a delightful article on his favorite
theme, pacing blood, as the basis on which to build to get a
trotter. Certain, it is no harness horse shows the lithe form
for great speed to compare with a pacer. As a rule, all paoers
are low in the withers and high in the rump; they have the
form of the deer, the hare and the greyhound. Quoting from
Mazeppar: "The speed of thought was in his limbs." So
I thought wheu I carefully scrutinized a picture of the great
pacer, Johnston.

My friend, Mr. Jas. Learned, of StocktoD, years ago, aunu.
ciated the fact that no harness horse carried a gait so low to
the ground and so persistently {without a break) as a pacer.
"Princess never got Bnch a colt as Magdallah from Mr.
Learned's pacing mare by Napa Rattler. Alexander never
got a faBter trotter than Reliance from the same dam, unless
Alexander Button, and he is out of a maie by the same sire
as the Learned mare, as Lady Button was by Napa Rattler.

Pacers as a rule, run back in a few generations to the thor-
oughbred, hence their high form aod want of knee action.
Consequently, toe weights have become a necessity to give
them the necessary bend to the knee.

My idea, coming from a cow county, it may not, from a
horsman's standpoint, be valuable, is, that at Pleasanton
there are two great stallions whose produce ought to be
mated together. That is, breed Director or Direct to marea
by Sidney out of FUxtul dam.3. By such a cross you have
on the dam's side high form and great speed. On the sire's
side you have a faultless trotting gait thoroughly de6ned,
coupled with great muscular development and ball dog cour-
age. Mr. Salisbury tells me that Gold Leaf's brother is the
fastest colt or horse that he ever rode behind.

The sire, I think, oontrols, as a rule, the gait. To the
mother should be attributed more the disposition, constitu-
tion and size. If my premises are true, how necessary it is
in the stallion to have the frictionless gait. It is a sine qua
non, is the stepping stone to all things desired. lhat
is why, lo my mind, Electioneer, Guy WilkeB and Dictator
(brother to Dexter) excel Nutwood as sires of trotters. These
three are the greatest living stallions as breeders of a large
number of trotters to be found, and only simply because their
gait at the trot is so thoroughly defined that it controls all
mixed gaits in the dams where high form to carry speed is
bred to. No toe weights, no hobbles, no artificial appliances
to make the pace trot. These things are permissable in the
dam if she does trot and has the racing form and ancestry.

I would like to ascertain the fastest heat Tilton Almont
ever made by trial or in a race and if he is recorded.

Answer — Tilton Almont's best time in a race is 2:26. We
do not know his fastest trial. If voa want to ascertain
whether he is registered or not, his number is 1583 in the
American Trotting Kegister.

Inflammation of the Bowels.
Symptoms of the Trouble with. Horses and a Remedy.

When the colic paira, at first intermittent, become longer
in duration or constant, when the horse grows weaker or
flinches from external pressure of the body, and the feet and
ears grow cold, inflammation of the bowels has commenced,
and you have a long, dangerous and very painful case before
you. Pay great attention to the pack ai your sheet anchor
of hope here. Increase the injections, and remove any hard
accumulations within reach with a well-oiled hand and arm.
Get the legs well rubbed by hand and loosely bandaged with
flannel. Life or death here is just a question of whether you
can or cannot keep enough blood at the surface and extremi-
ties. After the accumulations have been removed and the
rectum washed out with abundance of warm water or soap
and water, inject a quart of warm thin gruel, made either
from oatmeal or from coarse sharps, and repeat the injection
every hour.

Get the horse to drink as much water as possible, in any
shape that he can be got to take most of it. Very thin gruel
would suit him best, but if be will not drink that, give him
slightly warmed water. If he will not drink that, give him
cold water in small quantities at a time, but as often as he
can be got to take it. If he will not drink pretty freely and
often in any shape, pour very thin gruel down his throat, as
water he must have, and without it he cannot recover.

Food at this stage is of very little consequence. The horse
must not have much, and had better have none tban take
any unsuitable. The beat food will be a very little withered
grass, free from buttercups or other injurious weeds. If th»
cannot be got, carrots, swedes, and a very little sweet hay
may be given. Very coarse, clean bran may be given, wetted
with warm water, aid mixed with a little chaff. Not a grain
of any kind of corn must be given, nor must the horse be
drenched with Btarch and tine flour, so commonly recom-
mended and so fatally administered.

No medioine of any kind is admissible here. The most
rash drug dealers would hardly venture to pour their medi-
cines down the throat of an animal in this state. Even You-
stt breakB loose from the drug school here, and ventures to
follow the severe lessons of his own experience. He says
"The human practiooer gives, under this disease, and with
advantage (?) very powerful doses of purgative medicine, and
he may be disposed to demur to the cautious mode of pro-
ceedihg we recommend with regard to the horse. Although
we may not be able to give him a satisfactory theoretic*! rea-
son, in defense of oar treatment, we can appeal to the exper-
ience of every veterinary Burgeon, that a Btrong dose of phy-
sic given in inflammation of. the „ bowels would be certain
poison." Dr. Dadd says: "Super purgatioD, induced by ac
tiYe oatfcartice, would be equivalent- to a, ^entenee of death."

Facts vs. Opinions.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — With due deference to
those whose observations and opinions differ from my own,
I wish courteously to reply to some statements made by
"Fallstown, " and copied in the Breeder of Nov. 2d, intended
as arguments against the admission of the pacer to standard
rank. As I do not propose discussing the question of hi8
admission at the present time, I will ask but brief space to
notice the unsupportable assertion of the writer, who has
probably mistaken his own prejudice for a general sentiment.
He says: "The fact still remains that not one of the great
trotting horse breeders of the country will now buy a pacing
stallion or brood mare on their blood or speed."

So much the worse for the "big breeders." But is it true?
When Dr. Herr advertises to breed his high-priced stallions
to pacing mares "on shares," and makes no such offer for
trotting mares, and when Mr. Broadhead, Mr. Alexander's
Superintendent, boasts that he was "loyal" to Pilot pacing
blood when the great breeders held it as trash, and can now
proudly point to Maud S, Jay Eye See, Nutwood, and others
in justification of his judgment, it is quite possible that Falls-
town has not canvassed the breeding sentiment of late, and
thai he is himself behind the advsnced thought of the age.
He further says: "Had St. Bel's dam or sire been a pacer,
his book at $500, instead of filling in five days would not
have filled in five years." This would seem like a reflection
upon the intelligence and courage, of breeders, for of course
the gentlemen kuows that St. Bel has two pacing courses
on his sire's side and four on his dam's. What if they are
remote? Their potency in giving speed is no more lost by
their remoteness tban is the potency of bis trotting lines,
which are supposed to increase and intensify with each gen-
eration, lean see but one difference When the pacing
crosses are remote and covered up with fashionable "top
crosses," the limid breeder who never trusts bis own judg-
ment until it is endorsed by men who think for themselves,
can get the benefit of this Bpeed-giving element without the
fear of ridicule from his slow-going friends.

Again he says: "The argument that has been advanced
against 'rnnning foolishness' in the trotter will be effectively
used against the pacing folly."

The writer seems to have mistaken this for a "boomerang."
Let us see if there is any 'flyback" to it.

Thoroughbreds bred to thoroughbreds do not get fast
trotters. They have no speed at the "intermediate gait" and
cannot transmit what they do not pnssees.

Pacers bred to pacers do get fast trotters and a multitude
of them. They kave speed at the 'intermediate gait," and
can and do transmit it with a certainty that is marvelous,
whether the gait be lateral or diagonal, and whether mated
with pacer, trotter, or even, in a few instances, with a run-
ner.

Having thus briefly answered the few points attempted to
be made against the admission of the pace; to standard rank
I will not occupy your valuable space further except to call
attention to two breeders whom your readers all know, and
who would not be called small breeders in any country.

Count Valensin, from a pacing stallion and out of a mare
pacing bred on both sidis, has bred Fleet, 2-year-old trotting
record 2:24, the fastest, I think, of the year for a two-year-
old. If not the fastest, I am confident that any of the great
exclusives would be proud to breed as good an one.

Wm. Corbit, from a pacing mare, has bred Li'lian Wilkes,
3-year-old trottirg reoord 2:173, the fastest and stoutest .of
the get of Guy Wilkes.
Facts and records are stubborn things. Respectfully.

San Jose.

Can you give me any information that will lead me to the
identity of a stallion that died at San Louis Obispo Connty
two or three years ago, the property of John Bolton, Esq.
He was represented to have been'bred by the late Mr. Whip-
ple, sold at auction sale when his (Whipple) estate was settled
and purchased by Miller & Lux (Gilroy), who sold him to
Mr. Bolton. The breeding given is as follows: Sired by
Speculation (son of Hambletonian 10, dam Martba Washing-
ton, dam of Hambletonian 725, etc.); first dam by Lancas-
ter, son of Williamson's Belmont. Should you succeed in
furnishing above information and further breeding of the
Lancaster mare, you will confer a favor on a constant reader
of you paper.

Answer. — The only information we can give you is as fol-
lows, which Mr. Chase, of the firm of Killip & Co., kindly
furnishes: The horse jou speak of was sold by Killip & Co.
to Miller & Lux at the great sale of S. B. Whipple, June 11,
1873. HiB breeding was as follows: CheBtnutcoIr, two years,
star in forehead, hind Iosb and nfar fore leg white; by Specu-
lation 923 (son of Hambletonian 725 and Martha Washington
by Burr's Washington 332), dam Old Luce, known as the
Morrow or Lancaster mare. Nothing is known regarding the
breeding of the mare.

Importation of Thoroughbred Horses.

Mr. A. W. Whitehouse, of Oxford Horse Ranch. Leab, Wy
oming, has imported the following thoroughbred horses
from England, and will use them for breeding purposes at
bis horse ranch in Wyoming. Fireball, cbeBtnnt horse,
foaled in 1881, bred by Mr. Hume Webster, by Thunder-
bolt, dam Ninna, by Buccaneer; second dam Infanta, by Or-
lando; third dam Mamie, by Jerry, out of Fanchon, by Lap
dog, &c. Dutch Skipper, brown horse, foaled 1883. bred by
Lord Eosebery, by Dnteh Skater, dam Schirene, by Maca-
roni; second dam Corisande, by King Tom; third dam May-
bloom, by Newmini3ter, ont of Lady Hawthorn, sister to
Thormanby, by Windhound. Brooklet, brown mare, foaled
1883, bred by Mr. S. Beard, by Moorlands, dam Franboise,
by Cobnat; second dam Fragola, by Grladiator, out of Fre-
tillon, by Silvio, covered by Fireball. Little Minx, brown
mare, foaled 1883, dam Pompano, by Nutbourne; second dam
The Fawn, by Venison, out of Cecilia, by Comus, &c, cov-
ered by Edward the Confessor, son of Hermit. Mask Plant,
gray mare, foaled 18S2. bred by Mr. E. Armstrong, by Am-
bergris, dam Princess Louise, by Strathconan; second dam
Charmione, by Orlando, out of Vivandiere by Voltaire. Co-
cotte, chestnut filly, foaled 1SS6. bred by Mr. T. Lant, by
Gallierd, dam Elegance, by Ely; second dam Nemesis, by
Newminister out of Varsoviana, by Ion, &c.

Cruelty to Horses.

The h^rse will be abused as long as he is in the power of
human beings who have not learned that the ill-treatment of
any dumb or helpless creature places them far lower in the
scale of conscious existence than the object of their brutality.
He will be abused as long as men are too stolid to heed his
sufferings or too thoughtless to perceive it. He will be
abused as long as men believe that they know more at out
him than the Power that created him. The mouth of a colt
is as sensitive as a child's. That will never do, so in the
process of breaking, a term which ought to be as inappropri-
ate asi n a child, it is frequently torn and bruised with rough
bits until when it finally heals, astrong man can pull ou it
with all his might. If it had been left normally sensitive,
the animal could have been guided by the turn of a finger.
His eyes can be covered by pieces of leather, end a lock of
his mane can be pulled forward nn^er the forehead strap so
that it will fall into bis eyeB and irritate them. The tail, bis
defense against the annoyance of injects, can be strung or
docked — although, as we are happy to mention, these ol-
fenFe^ are now punishable in several of our States by fine or
imprisonment. The head affords another opportunity to re-
adjust creation. It is still the opinion of many that its nat-
ural position is one of those mistakes of a stupid unknown
first cause, which man, with his superior judgment, ought lo
rectify; so it is Ftrapped high in the air, and the restless
movements and foamiDg mon'h occasioned thereby are sup-
posed to indicate the suffering creature's unconquerable
mettle. Even if it is not raised to the point of torture, but
merely to thit of discomfort, what object can be morediscot-
solate to the eye of the human and humane being who ad-
mires the natural form of a horse than to see his nose poked
out stiffly and bis whole pose suggesting jadt=d patience and
disgust? No wonder, poor fellow! — he know* in hi« dum'

American Coursiner Club-Fourth Annual

Meeting.

The American Coursing Club at last seems in a way to
attain the object for which it was founded, the popularizing
of the sport in the county east of the Rocky Mountains.
The fourth annual meeting, held at Great Bend, Kan , on
October 24, 25, 26, 28 and 29lh, was ran off to rule, was
well attended, and iu most respects successful. From the
excellent report made for the American Field, we take each
portions as serve our purpose:

The weather was verv favorable, none of it was disagree-
able and most of it was delightfully pleasant. The dates
were set at a very fortunate time, for it had rained steadily
niter the people had returned to town after the final course
was finished. As a conseqnen e of the prolonged rams the
bottoms were heavy on the first day, making the riding some-
what nnp'eabant. Rabbits at first were not plentiful, they
bavin" Bought the higher and drier grounds in the adjarent
hills. After the first day, however, they were found insuffic-
ient numbers.

Admirable progress has been made in improving the grey-
hounds in every respect— in breeding, fleetness, type and
condition. At the first meeting many of the hounds ran cun-
ning habitually; they were more irregular in type, aud some
were not in good condition; at the meeting jnst closed there
were only two or three mild instances of a departure from
true running. There wa* also a palpable superiority in the
quality of the ruomog, exhioitefl iu the ereater uniformity in
fleetness and endurance. Many of the courses were very
closely contested, thus affording intensely interesting sport to
the spectator*, besides demonstrating that there were a com-
moner knowledge of proper conditioning and evenness in
general improvement. Tnat this improvement is largely
due to the superiority of the imported blood, there is hardly
room for d>ubt; and there is no doubt whatever in the mat-
ter if the records of this meeting are accepted as the criteria.
Out of thirty-two d ;gs entered in the American Field Cup
Stake, eight were imported, nam-ly. Lord Neversettle, Trales.
White Lips, Verdme Glad, Lady Graham Glendyne, Little
Lady Glendyne, Dick's Darling and Babazoun. As will be
seen in the list of the winners, the imported blood is in the
front, and every d">g ran up well in the competition.

Trales, Lady Grabam Glendyne aod Little Lady Glendyne
were selections of Dr. G. Irwin Royce, well known as an
enthusiastio coursing man, to whose energetic individual
efforts the American Coursing Club owes its organization.

Trales is a well-made dog. weighs about sixty pounds, is
very fleet and has fine con'rol of his action in his turns, thus
being able to stay very close to the rabbit. Unless a dog can
turn very short aod quick, he has bnt a slight chance of win-
ning a course, for, to go wide at the tarns allows a smart com
petitor to repeitedly cnt in ahead and score, besides giving
the dog which runs wide a vast deal more work in again run-
ning up to the rabbit. White Lips distinguished herself last
year as the runner-up in the American Field Cup Stake, and
repeated the same performance this year. She is a wonder-
fully good bitch, very speedy, and can keep closer to a rab-
bit's tail iu its sharpest an-t quickest turns than any other
greyhound at the meeting. It was surmised by several people
that, while she had the speed, she did not have the necessary
endurance for long courses. By Gome of the longest, hard-
est running, her stamina and endurance were placed beyond
question. Her race with B*bazoun, a magnificent dog hini-
self, was one of the longest and most closely contested courses
of the meeting, being es'imate J at from four to five miles, the
dogs being but a few lengths apart at anytime. Shortly
afterward she was put in the slips with Trales to run the
final course and ran magnificently; although outworked in
the first part of the course, she kept improving, working with
gre^t speed and pluck, aud scaring well toward the finish.
It is difficult to predict which would have been the wiuner
had not the rabbit gone to earth. The rabbit was subse-
qiently dug out of the ground and presented by Mr. D. N.
Heizer to the National Coursing Association, which will keep
it, on their preserve, to live in undisturbed peace during the
remainder of its life.

Lord Neversettle showed himself to be a dog of very high
quality. Mr. Lowe, his owner, said that he still suffered
from the effects of a broken shoulder which impaired his run-
ning; nevertheless he ran some very superior courses.

Ldviaa did some of the hardest of running, exhibiting
wonderful staying powers combined with high speed. Ver-
dure Clad showed excellent capabilities, but was beaten in a
closely-contested coarse by Spring, an excellent dog himself.
Out of sixteen poppies in the Derby six were out of import-
ed stock namely, Lady iu Black, Lady Barton, Little Thought
Of. Lady in White, Lancaster aod Lord McPherson. the latter
being absent. The two first mentioned divided first and sec-
oud; thus the more important placeB in both stakes were won
by imported dogs or their descendants.

Lady Graham Glendyne lost tbe course with Lord Never-
settle, but it was tbe openly declared Bentiment of many ex-
perts who were present that the judge made an inexcusably
stupid blunder. In running enbseqaently in byes, she
proved herself a remarkably good working hound.

It wan assarted in the opinion of many that the English
imported hounds had greater neatness for a half mile or a
mile but that they did not have tbe endnrance for a loDg
bard course. The running in nowise sustained Buch views.
The longest, most trying courses were in most instances run
by the imported dogs and tb<y not only ran pluckily to the
finish, but repeated admirably. That many rabbits escaped
from them is true, t>ut it ih equally true that they escaped
quite as often from the Ametioun bred dogs. It was conceded
by some of the oldest coursers that no hounds could catch
some of tliR swift whitetuil jacks of the Cheyenne Bottoms.
This meeting nettled beyond question that, if a rabbit es-
oaped after a three-mile run, it did not prove that the dogs
were slow or loafers, but proved conclusively that the rabbits
were very fleet. There were owners present who felt certain
that their dog* could catch any rabbit within a half mile, but
they were satisfied that, whatever their dogs might do else-
where, there could Dot b* any certainty of catching rabbits
on the grounds referred to. OwIdr to high growths of gr«ss
here and there on the grounds, the rabbits iu a nnmber of in-
stances unsighted the dogs, which will explain the freouency
■ of such occurrence in the report of the courses.

_ 8ome owners of imported dogB maintain that tbe climate

. *'eems to unfavorably affect their dogs' oonr'ing capabilities

during their first season, they not holdioR either their speed

" or enduraDoet however, as a whole, tbey scored better at tbe

" ooeetiDg than their oompetitore, ond any comparison with

the atttlve-bred alook. i« deojaVdly to their 'advantage,

There were several accidents on the grounds, two of them
being quite serious, the first one beiDg a runaway, in which
a lady was thrown from her carriage and her eye seriously
injured if not destroyed. The last one was the unfortunate
accident to the judge in the dashing coarse between White
L^ps and Babazoun. The judge had mounted forthat course
a fresh horse, a stable horse which was not familiar with run-
ning on the prairie. He had riddeo about aquarter of a mile
at three-quarter speed when his horse stepped in a rndger or
ooyote hole which was partially concealed by a light growth
of grass; he stumbled thieeor four lengths, and, being unable
to recover, fell down, rolling eidewise over his rider, ihe
high iron pommel of the Mexican saddle struck the ground
with great force, bending it downward. The judge lay life-
less on the ground, and it was thought that he was dead.
By the careful attention of two physicians- who ware present,
he soon recovered consciousness. Beyond the effects of the
shock, a severe abrasion of his face and a not very serious
injury to his chest, he was nninjured. It was a great relief
to all present when it was known that he had escaped bo for-
tunately from what at first appeared to be a fatal accident.
For the time being the shock unfitted him for further riding,
and he was placed in a carriage Bnd taken to town.

The reporter of this journal emulated tbe judge's example
a short time before his accident. His horse, while going at
speed, stepped in a hole and turned a complete somersanlt
with much vivacity aud determination. It was neatly done,
but the force with which a rider is slammed on the ground
somewhat detracts from the interest of the performance, and
it canDOt be recommended as a desirable act to follow hab-
itually.

Horses which are ridden regularly in rabbit coursing or
oattle herding, learn to watch for the buffalo wallows, badger,
wolf and prairie dog holes, they running with a low hea-l,
and are constantly on the alert for them, either passing or
jumping them safely. Had the judge been riding one of Mr.
Vernon's experienced horses, furnished for him, the accideDt
would in all probability not have occurred. Without the
necessary experience a horse is never safe in that kind of
riding, however good his speed maybe; indeed, the greater
the speed under such circumstances the greater the danger;
on the other hand, there is hardly any danger if the rider is
mounted on an experienced horse.

The Executive Committee selected that genial gentleman
and expert in coursing matters, Mr. C. G. Page, to judge the
remainaer of the running. At first he declined, but the pres-
sure for his able services was so great that he at last con-
sented, and he was greeted with hearty applause.

The judge waB Mr. Wm. Green, of Apiehapa, Colo. He
did not ride with the fearlessness and judgment of those who
judged at prior meetings. On long stiaightaway courspfi he
rode rather tenderly, and frequently would be left far in the
rear. In many instances he was stopped by wire fences,
which he could have avoided had he ride en faster and with
better judgment, the fences being cut at convenient dis-
tances, thus leaving openings in them which were marked by
white flags. This gentle riding was the cause of several un-
decided courses. When Mr. Bartel and Mr. Halloway judged,
it was a rare occurrence when they were not well up with
the hounds, a contrast to Mr. Green's riding. His decisions
were in many instaucea received with open disapproval. It
was claimed that he had a very extensive and accurate knowl-
edge of all the details of caorsing, gained in England many
years ago. While he bad a fair theoretical knowledge, his
application of it was a decided failure.

Mr. Charles Halloway was the slipper. Sometimes the
d'-'gs were given a short thirly-yard slip and sometimes a long
one hundred and twenty-five yard slip, which was not accord-
ing to the rules or the requirements of a uniform competi-
tion.

The Secretary, Mr. Frank K. Doan, was absent, owing to
business interests which he could not keep in abeyance It
is unnecessary to add that he was greatly missed at the meet-
ing. Col. David Taylor was absent, he suffering from serious
sickness.

There was some difficulty in maintaining order on the
grounds during the first few dayB There were two disturb-
ances, both apparently dne chiefly to the failure of prohi-
bition to prohibit. The club is not blamable for the misdo-
ings of individuals, yet it is blamable for not expelling the
disturbers from the grounds, an exemplary course which
would be beneficial in maintaining future gosd order.

Mr. C. G. Page acted as marshal most of tbe time, and the
last days were marked by excellent order. By bis superior
tact and management he handled the large crowds well.

A large attendance of ladies end gentlemen, the best society
of tbe section, were present. That the sport is fascinating
and popular, such a magnificent attendance of spectators
proves beyond question. 0l±6 gentleman from New York
went out to see the sport awbilo on the first day and found
the Bport so fascinating that he remained throughout the
meeting. It is really the most dashing and spirited of all
ont-door field sports.

The hospitality to the visiting sportsmen and kindly in-
terest in the success of the Club cannot be excelled by any
other people. The succesB of the Club is a matter of local
pride with them, and they have supported it nobly. It is the
leading event of the kind in the United Stales, and can be
made the Waterloo meeting of America by careful guidance.

The dogs at the club house were fed on Spratt's Patent.

Tbe prospect for other meetings indicates a general farther
improvement in tbe dogs. Mr. D. N. Heizor has a very
promising lot of puppies oat of Lady Millie Glendyne and
Little Lady Glendyne (both bitches by London — Lady Glen-
dyne), and Lady Graham Glendyne (Jester — Lady Glendyne),
all the puppies being Bired by TraleB. Mr. Luse is also re-
ported as having a very nice lot; hence, with those owned by
other-», the Derby of next year should be keenly contested.

A meeting of the Club was held on the evening of October
23. when the drawing took place. The question of the eligi-
bility of Mr. Arthur Massey to act as slipper, was raised by
Dr. Van Hummel), it appearing that the latter had made a
bet with the slipper wbich involved nearly all the dogs. Aa
the rules disqualify anyone from acting as judge or slipper
who is "in aoy way interested" in the running, it affected
Mr. Massey, although bis integrity was not questioned, and
itwasso stated in the meeting. On the matter being sur.-
mitted to a vote of the Club, Mr. Charles Halloway was
elected slipper. Mr. Massey bad also trained Trales, Lady
in Black aud Lady Barton, and he trained them well as the
event proved, bat this was also mentioned as disqualifying
him for tbe position of slipper.

At the meeting held on Tuesday Night, October 29, a great
deal of routine business was transa -ted. It was found that
the Club was heavily iu debt, but owing to the books not be-
ing kept fully posted no accurate statement at that date was
obtainable. It was probable that the Club would wipe out
all tho old indebtedness and begin with a olean balance sheet
on tbe next year. There were quite a number who were in
arrears for dues. Members who will not pay their dues are
a weahnep* in a club and Bh.ou.td ta expelled without any

hesitation. The presence of suoh men has a discouraging
effect on men who do pav. There are also some disturbing
elements in the Club which are partially personal in their
nature yet very disturbing to the best interests of the Clnb,
and the sooner they are taken firmly in band and traced to
their responsible source and rigidly suppressed, the better
it will be for the future success and harmony of the Clnb.

Mr. D. H Halladay of Great Bend, and Mr. E. T. Vernon,
of Lamed, Kan., were elected members and Mr. B. Waters,
of Chicago, 111-, was elected an honorary member.

The officerB elected for the following year areas follows:

The Fish Commission is about to introduce some Bob
Whites, and we request that any of our readers to whom
these presents may come, who know where the birds can be
had, will inform as. Reports are that Texas is over-run by
quails, and they are plenty throughout Kansas.

and the famous hostelry might be improved thirty or forty
thousand per cent, inany oneof a half dozen other ways, but
where, except there, is the roof that covers "all to once,"
Bergundthal, Coster, Donner, Wilson, Uncle Ned, Gregory,
Hitchcock, Heuricks, Hamilton, Merriman, Rowe, Avent
Denny, Nesbitt, McMardo, Titus, Stafford, Bruce, Height,
Short, and the hundred other true men who have made High
Point synonymous with splendid Betters and pointers, most
perfect field trials, and moat hearty hospitality?" If the cel-
lar of the Belle Vue has not caved in, we invite all to join us.
If it has, the invitation goes anyhow, bat we will climb up to
"Dad" Wilson's den and sample that three story flagon of
old Monongahela, or else go to the village store and test the
solution of tobacco in coal oil, dispensed there as apple-jack.
Anyhow, here's tetter luck still, to the Eastern Field Trials
and all conneoted with them.

THE GTO

Professor J. F. B. McCleery kindly sends a corrected pedi-
gree of the pug puppies recently offered for sale through
these columns by Mr. W. H. Taylor, 2411 Ellis street, San
Francisco. The young pugs are by Badge (Mr. J. G. Fair's
prize pug — Mamma Shoots) and out of Fido (Punch — Fanny).
Budge won the first prize at the P. K. C. show of '88. Mam-
ma is also a bench winner.

Mr. C. A. Loud, of Corvallis, Or., whose letters to this
paper about the Mongolian pheasant have attracted so much
attention, called upon us on Monday last, as he was passing
through the city en route to San Diego, where he will live in
futare. We found him to be jast the bright, observant, en-
thusiastic sportsman, suggested by his writings. Southern
California with its Bruner, its Britton, its Chick, its Knight,
its Unger, its Payne and henceforth its Loud, is getting
more than its share of rare good fellows and fine shots. Mr.
Loud brought down with him several dainty English setters
and several puppies. He expects to train a few dogs in con-
nection with other employment in San Diego.

Popular Harry A. Weaver, once of Sacramento sends us a
comical story from his present home, Stockton. He writes:
"Have been wanting to write you for a long time— ever since
my friend Joe Kane of Sacramento told me a funny thing
about a dog. Yoa know, like Sam Clemens, I am fond of a
dog. Well, there is a man in Sacramento — he lives there
yet — who has an immense dog — never saw him, but think
from Joe's description it must be of the mastiff species; and
Joe remarked to this dog's owner, 'It mast cost you a good
deal to feed such a big dog, Mr. Dunknowho ?'

" 'Oh, no,' said Dunknowho, 'it don't cost us much.'
" 'Why?, asked Joe; 'what do you feed him?'
" 'Feed him bran,' said Dunknowho; and investigation
proved that bran was the dog's diet.
"This will be good news, eh?"

A very wise man of the East, whose experience in doggy
matters is co-extensive with the growth of kennel interests in
America, writes us: "I believe that dog matters will never
grow so fast or so firm on the Pacific Coast as in the East,
for the reason that the California quail is not the factor in
insuring an interest and growth that the Eastern quail is."
It is the custom to revile the California quail and attribute
to him all the devilish canning of a Machiavelli. In point
of fact, given good cover, good conditions of weather, a good
dog and a good man, and no better sport can be had over Bob
Whites than with our saucy little bluebird. Put the Bob
White out on waterless hillsides, where long flights or longer
runs must be made to water, where the cover is high, crack.
ling and noisy, and we doubt whether the plump little brown
fellows nurtured sometimes to the number of a half dozen
bevies in a ten acre grass Held, would not develops more wild-
ness and less disposition to lie to a dog.

The sturdy men who go reporting to the field trials of the
East and South are just now girding up their loins. Mr.
Bernard Waters, of the American Field, writes, that he is
just starting upon his three months of the most tasking
labor that falls to the lot of any newspaper man. Major S.
T. Hammond, of Forest and Stream, under a course of down-
East mince pie and crusty cider, lost the line of demarkation
between his loins and the rest of him long ago, so he packs the
loins aforesaid into an elegant old pair of corduroys, of which
it is said that along about November 1st the sterling old cords
prance about with the evident purpose of being in good con-
dition by trial time, after months of disuse. Those reporters
are a "gentle folk," and we wish them good work to report,
good weather, facility in the evenings, and "just a little sun-
shine" after mail time. There are hotels less like ohicken
coops aa regards ventilation than the Belle Yrje at High Point,

Cultivation of Intellect in Sport.

After discussing in its own calm, and most satisfactory
manner, the matter of making the practice of games in schools
compulsory, that time-honored journal, the London Field,
takeB up another aspect of the question, which embraces
broader issues than those of school-games only. That is the
question of actual intellectual culture through the medinm of
ont-door sports. The mere medical effects, of such (-ports
might 1 e attained by compulsory walking exercise or drill.

If at the public schools a rule existed, that toys who did
not elect to "qualify" for a certain time per diem at some
regulation game, must as an alternative take walking exercise
under supervision (like prison convicts or young ladies at a
Beniinary), or be drilled for a hour by a drill sergeant, in the
absence of medical certificate foT exemption, we fancy that
most of the ground would be cnt from under the feet of the
malcontent minority who aredeclaiming against that infringe-
ment of the liberty of the subject which they seem to discern
in the practice or compulsory play. It is, we btlieve, because
the proportion of malingerers is small, and of parental mal-
contents still smaller, that such a system of alternative exer-
cise is not considered worth the candle at the best of our
schools. If it did exist, we think that the intellectual advan-
tages of active games, as compared to the mere animal recrea-
tion of those who elected to walk "two and two, Newgate
fashion," would be more apparent.

To play with the head as well as the bands is a secret of
success in sport and games alike. In cricket, apart from
education of eyejand of hand, a distinct effort of brainwork
is involved in the rapid mental catenation which a batsman
makes upon the premises given by his eye, aided by iodac-
lion from former deliveries of bowling, before his brain tele-
graphs to his hand and foot how to act in the emergency
after the ball has pitched. In like manner a bowler, whatever
may be his powers of pace or twist, etc , adds much to the
effect of his deliveries if he makes each ball a study, instead
of playing the machine part of a catapult. That is, when
he observes frcni a batsman's style that a ball of a certain
pitch, though difficult to many, seems to be mastered by him,
while, per contra, he plays another sort in a less safe stvle,
and delivers accordingly — even indulging him with a half
volley to leg if he has observed that he is prone to give a
chance of a catch in such a case. The placing of the field
for this or that batsman or bowler, or both, deeper or wider
now and then, are in like manner examples of the brain work
to which we allude. Again, the opportunities for display of
qualities of generalship in the stroke of a racing boat have
been so often enlarged upon, that we need not here do more
then indicate them. At football, in like manner, the brain
has to be at work, with concentrated care and active induc-
tion, to guide each movement, and calculate the direction of
each step. So also in the offices of command, of cricket,
boating and football, does intellectual capacity enter. Shall
A. be selected for his bowling, or B. for wicket- keeping, or C.
because his fielding [a la Boyle) saves more runs than many
batsmen often make in the day? Or, as to an eight-oar and
its make up; shall A. row stroke and B. stand out as a light
weight, or shall A. move to some other seat, B. come in at
stroke for the sake of bis style, and Borne second class middle
weight make way? Similar problems exercise the mind of
the captain of a football team.

In minor games, such as lawn tennis, we often see a play-
er, who cannot show equal activity or skill of stroke, none
the less get the best of an opponent, simply because he makes
each stroke a matter of mental calculation with regard to the
past and the future of the game; in other words, he gains by
his mental strategy more than his opponent obtains by his
extra skill of muscle. Or. if we turn to field sports, onr
shooting reader- will recall many an instance where A., in
command of the field, somehow obtains lighter bags, with
equal average of game on the ground and of straight powder
in the guns, than B., who has a knack to frapper vite, frap-
per forte, when birds are found. In race riding — apart from
hands and seat — judgment of pace, with quick observation of
incidents during the running, and sharp calculation of^the
course to be pursued, to pnll round here or to push through
there, have much to do with the nearest road to the winning
post.

Now here we have two classes of physical exercise, the
one automatic, that of the peripatetics. Newgate fashion; the
other that of votaries of sport and nctive pastime. Granting,
for the sake of argument, that eich produces the required
effect of securing digestion and circulation of blcod; grant-
ins also that, for the battle of life, intellectual culture is the
object of a school carriculum, surely, then, that alternative
of exercise which trains the intellect to a certain extent
while recreating the body, is entitled to some preference over
that which leaves the brain uncultured while the bodily ex-
ercise of the day is being got through? Putting aside for
the moment the otherwise valuable iogrediants, the cultiva-
tion of pluck and endurance, which ontdoor games tend to
produce, and confining ourselves solely to tbe desideratum
of cultivating those qualities of tact, judgment, and intel-
lectual effori which benefit the after man professionally, we
are enabled to infer that the curriculum of Bports has a
direct effect for good upon tbe broin of those who follow
them. The captain of an e'even who can judge well when
to change bowling, or whether to put in hitters to win or
stickers to play for a draw, has in learning this much been
cultivating parts of his brain which may some day make
him famous in command of a field force in warfare. The
oaptain of a boat's crew, who has with tact preserved disci-
pline and made judicious selections, hns been showing in
embryo tbe qualities which may enable him to shine in
colooial employ as governor of- a- fAction-bio'ten settlemeot.

The football player who can judge the nick of time for a run
at goal is unconsciously edncating himself to seize the golden
minute for a cavalry swoop on hostile gnns, or for the more
mundane and more lucrative stroke of timing th« opening
or closing of a gigantic Stock Exchange speculation.

These practical results have been indirectly observed and
endorsed for more than two generations; statistics showing
that — given the percentage of eminent athletes as compared
with those who do not shine brightly thereiu — these athletes
in after life occupy far more than wh-»t would otherwise
have been their share of responsible intellectual positions m
public life. Take the judicial and episcopal benches. The
average of University oarsmen produced is perhaps at most
ten per anDum in Oxford and Cambridge together, allowing
for some who row more than once. There are in any given
term more than 3000 nnder-giadnateB. Hence the "blues"
are abnut one in 300; but on the judicial bench we have
Lords Esher and Macnaghten. Justices Denman, Chitty, and
Smith, and among bishops, Wordsworth, Selwyns (two), Pel-
ham, M'Dongall, .fee. This out of some fifiy dignitaries of
the two benches. Surely here tbe "bl^es" bold far more
than their share, as compared to the polloi who graduated
contemporaneously with them. To cite our Q C.'s and mi-
nor judges on the leg*l side, or deans and prebendaries a-
mong bines in the eccleBiastioal lists, would be beyond our
space. It suffices to note the percentages broadly, aa indor-
sing the inferences which we draw from the theory of mind
being cultivated by the acquisition of skill in sport.

XI.

The spirit of fun is one of the chief jewels of humanity.
A dull hour is enlivened by a hearty laugh; a gloomy way is
illumined by touches of merriment; clouds of sadness will
vanish even as the mists of the morning, before the sunny
rays of mirth. As for the Pilgrims, they were all a set of old
boys, let loose from the restraints and demands of busy busi-
ness life and constantly indulged in jokes, squibs, andleven a
good deal of horse play. The Chaplain and the Doctor-Dea-
con especially, were constantly at one acother. Their fan
was never complete unless the pair were together, ana their
friendship had attained that ripeness where each was a caus-
tic critic of all the other's doing, with unsparing condemna-
tion. So the DD laid down for a mid-day nap and the Chap-
lain went for his gun. Just as the Doctor was nearing that
restful land where dreams may come, after deliberate aim, off
went the gun, tbe bullet landing in a tree jnst behind the
Deacon and passing a scant inch above his worthy nose.
Somebody jumped in the way indicated by a most pressing
necessity; it w*s the Deacon Some other laid down a eood
gnn and howled with joy; that was the Chaplain. Tbe Doc-
tor's face changed from a shock of surprise to an expression
of burning scorn and scalding indignation, and be walked off
behind a tree refusing to be comforted. The Chaplain's face
out-rosied Gambrinus, and waxed roander than a fat full
moon. Over all daintily settled down that waxen quietude
which marks tbe hush when everyone wants to roar, but
dares not even smile. Then the Doctor Deacon afnimed this
mighty oath; "By Gum I'll get even." And on another day,
as the chronicle truthfully records, justice was messnred out.

Santiago Meadows, altitude 7,750 feet, were leacted at
3:45, tetnpersture 76 degrees, Aiiout here the Chaplain, who
nad lagged behind that be might laugh with less restraint
than when near his next friend, went lost. To this fleeting
moment he positively denies the charge, but the gravamen
of the transaction is against him and the aimlesB tracks over
unnecessary sidehills, prove at least that bis boots were lost
wherever his head and heart may have been. When finally
produced, with the others he took up his line of correct
march and at 7 p. m., 8.400 feet above the sea. in the Mon-
ache Meadows, Camp Grant was made: christenea after a
whole souled sportsman, a genial man, a mighty hunter, an
expert fisherman, who spends his summers in these mead-
ows, living in a tent, and who ever readily aud to the pur-
pose lends a helping hand to all in need. And here, in full
view of Mt. Tamarack, named twelve years ago by one of bis
party — a perfect cone, surface covered with broken porphyry
and surmounted with a magnificent growth of stately tama-
racks— the party reeled until the ninth day. Fish here are
plentiful; too eager almost for true sport, but many a happy
hour was here laid away in the place of Pleasant memories,
by proper disciples of Izaak Walton, deceased. August 8th,
Olanche Peak 12.700 feet high was ascended by all the party,
except the worshipful master of arts culinary and upon the
very summit, high above earthly things, in the full sunlight
of a perfect day, responding to unanimous request, the
Chaplain — as he so well knows how to do — recited

THE OLD CANTEEN.
Send It up to ihe Barret? Well, do, what's the harm
If it haDgs like a horseshoe to serv* as a charm?
Had its day? to be sure. Matches ill with things here!
Shall I sack the old friend jnst because it is queer?
Thing of beauty 'tis not, but a joy none the leas,
Aa my hot lips remember its old-time caresB,
And I think on the solace once gurgling between
My lips from the battered and old tin canteen.

It has bung by my side in the long, weary tramp;
Been my friend in tbe bivouac, barracks and camp:
In the triumph, the captnr", advance and retreat.
Moie than light to my path, more than guide to my feet.
Sweeter nectar ne'er flowed, bowe'er sparkling and cold.
From out chalice of silver or gobiet of pold.
For a King or an Emperor, Princess or Queen,
Than to me from the month of that old canteen.

It has cheered the desponding on many a night,

Till their laughing eyes gleamed Jo the camp's firelight.

Whether guns stood in silenceor boomed at short range,

It was always on duly, though 'twould not be strange

If in somnolent periods just after "taps,"

Some Colon* 1 or Captain disturbed at his napB

May have felt a suspicion that spirits unseen

Had somenow bedeviled that ancient cantten.

But I think of the time when in lulls of the strife
It has called tne far look io dim eyes back to life,
Helpad to staunch the quick blood beginning to pour
Softened broad gaping wonucle that were stiffened and sore,
Moistened thin, livid Ilps.'O despairing of breath,
They could only speak thanks in the quiver of death.
If an annel of mercy e'er hovered between
ThiB world and tbe next 'twaa that nld canteen.

Then banish it not as a profi'less thing.
Were it hung in a palace it well might swing,
To tell In its mute allegorical way
How tb>- citizen volunteer won the day.
How unflinchingly, bravely, and grandly he won,
And bow, when toe death dealing work fully done,
Twas as eapy his passion from war ways to wean,
As bis mouth (rom tbe lips of that old canteen.
By-and-by, when all bate for tbe rage with the Bars
Is forgotten In love for tbe "SlripeB and tbe Stars";
When Columbia rules ev'rytbing Bolid and iole.
For her one sbip canal to tbe ice at the pol*-:
When tbe Grand Army men have obeyed the last call
And the Mayflowers and Violets bloom over us all :
Then away ]q some garret the cobwebs may scr-

Who Will Give Jim Shoemaker a Dopr?

That veteran journalist and mo9t charming sportsman,
Mr. James P. Shoemaker, sends these plaintive lines f.oiu
his mouotain fastness in Grass Valley:

Grass Valley, Cal., Nov. 12, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I am longing for a set-
ter Dap. My old dog is dead and I want a good one (a pup)
in order that I may briog him up in the way in which he
should go; the straifiht and n.arrow path. I believe you ciu
assist me in securing what I desiro in that lioe. How much
would a well-bred pup cost me? And I waDt you to select it
for me. Let me know, if convenient, in regards to this mat-
ter and vcu will greatly oblige me.

Geirge Fletcher has recovered from his late serious lllDess
(pneumonia), and is able to attend to his E. E. duties, but
not abl- t) go to the "BeHatd the hunt." Dr. H jys Jr. and
about sixteen of them went nut Sunday killed sis deer and
thought tbey were raisiog Ned. Please write me concerning
the dog business.

Jas. P. Sqoemarer.

Mr. Chick Wishes to Shoot.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Following is a copy of
a portion of a letter written by a Mr. Eugene Taylor, Lynch's
Station, Campbell County, Va., to Mr. E S. Babcock, Jr., of
this place, in which be says: "I am coming Westthis spring
and would like to shoot some matches with Mr. Hamilton,
Mr. Chick and Mr. Robinson, if it is agreeable lo said gentle-
men-" Now, in reply to this, J will say to our friend that
Mr. Hamilton or myself will be happy to accommodate him
on his journey, if be will name the kind of match and

several other shots of this Slate who would be pleased to
meet our friend at the trap, so I hope when this meets our
friend's eyes that he may realize the pleasure which awaits
for him in the future and at onoe arrange details of a match
or matches.

I noticed a line in your jonrnal of the 9th inst. . desiring of
Mr. Hamilton some notes of the climate, cover aod habits of
the quail in this part of the country. I will state, at his re-
quest, that the climate is delightful— could not wish any bet-
ter. Cover for quail in most cases is low cactus and brush,
which is scattering, and good quail are plentiful in localities
other than such as have been prospected by hunters like Mr.
Hamilton, who has reached as high as thirty dozen qnails in
a single day. I must say they are getting scarce. This may
seem a falsehood to the readers of this journal, but it is
known to be too true to the sportsmen of San Diego.

Enforcement of the Game Laws.

The passage by the Legislature of laws to protect and pre-
serve the game of all kinds in the State, and the establish-
ment of a State Commission for this special purpose, are of no
practicable utility nules- these laws shall be enforced against
all offending parties. The California of this period is differ-
ent from the California of the pioneer period. Then, wild
game of evary species aDd every kiod of rish were hunted or
oaught in every season of the year, on account of the abund-
auoe of the game and fish and the scarcity of the popula-
tion. The interior of California was imperfectly and litlle
known, even to the early Californians, to the pioneer Ameri-
can settlers Its mountain and valley game was not hunted,
its fish were not heeded, except to serve an occasional feast.

All this is changed. The wild game of men otain and valley
alike has become scarce; and, as to food fish, the condition
is every year brooming a 6tudy. Skin hunters devastate the
land of flesh and fur and peltry, and besides the rapacity of
the native and Eurapeao fishermen, the more rapacious
Chinese prey upan the coast line, upon every river, creek and
tributary.

Deer are disappearing, elk is a rarity, and likewise Balmon
are deoreasiog; trout are getting scarce and difficult to find.
These are the chief qaee-t of hunters and fisherB. Other
varieties of game are in similar category — game of all kinds,
without enumeration.

For the due protection of all these varieties of game, the
Legislature has enacted laws, and a State Commission has
been institutei who^e special doty it is to see to the observ-
ance of these laws. This is the State Fish Commission. As
the Board la now constituted, it is alert, vigilant, and thor-
ough in every qualification. To enact laws and afterward to
be careless an t negligent in their enforcement, is to trifle
with the subject. It were better to have no laws appertain-
ing to the pu rpose, and to leave the killing of game in natural
clo*e seasons open aDd without penalty.

It is a fair infereDoe that every person is aware of certain
prudential and necessary laws, just as every person knows
right from wrong, knows that theft is a crime and killing a
heinous offV-nea. There are seasons for the production and
for the harvesting of every growing thing There are, simi-
larly, seasons for the procreution and care of every creation

fl-sh. rish and fowl. Common Ben-.eis the natural prompter,
iutoi in tiit and arbiter in this respect, aod every offenaer'
capable of understanding iind possessed of judgment, ia con-
sidered amenable to the laws which are made for the con-
servation of coumuoity property, for the preservation of all
which concerns the community. Laws for the protection of
game and fi-h, useful for food, are dire tly in point.

Anyone who slaughters game in field or stream in all seasons,
regardless of common dictates of humanity and in violation
o( statute laws, deserves penalty adequate to the offence. It
is made the du'y of the State Fish Commission in this State
to see that offenders shall be brought before the courts for
punishment. An instance haB recently orcured. The wan-
ton and cruel custom ot the skic-hunter through years of
inattention to these depredations and neglect of penalty, has
caused and encouraged iodiscrimioate and reckleBB slaughter
of deer, the same aa ol other game. In eeason aud out of
season, bncka and doea and fawns are ruthlessly killed Bo'e-
ly for tlieir skins. The law strictly forbids their killing, ud-
lesa in deel .re 1 open season. To more surely guard against
infraction of the law goven ing game, every person is made
amenable in whose possession game is fonnd in clo-e tea-
sons— dealers and others. This law the dca'ers must certain-
ly know, and cannot reasonably plead ignorance of it In the
case in point the facts are as follows: Deputy Fish Commis-
sioner Callnndan found two large bales of deer skins on one
1 I steamers of toia city, marked from L Labiee, Ukiab

of tL )

aod directed to the Sawyer TanniDg Company of Napa, h

examination of the bales revealed lawless practice. Some of

Uie skins were of does and fawns, and from others the (lis-

u, tive evidence of sex had been ont away, Mr. Callnndan

optly seized the bales, agreeably to his official doty, in 1

■' w» rests with the court. The Tanniog Company

plea "that the indications are thut the officers of the

law find it difficult to detect and punish the hnnters, and so
propose to puDishall who handle illegally killed skins, thereby
removing any chance to dispose of them for money." Careful
readin" of this plea aggravates the offence. It is made clear
that "the rhao.e to dispose of them [the illegally killed skins]
for money" is the chief matter with the Company. When
stolen goods are found in the possession of a "fence shop"
keeper, or other person, whose lawful duty it is to reveal the
identity of the thief, adequate penalty is imposed upon the
pirty in possession. Unless dealers can be found to buy
"illega'lv killed skiDs." lawless huDters will abstain from the
killing; and unless dealers Hod a market for such skins they
wi'l not make the purchase. The desler and the tanner each
know, or are reasonably prfsnmed to know, that the law-
provides a penalty for dealing in wares of the kind, and the
plen of innocent purchase or possession will not and ought
not to avail.

The proof is in the skins of game unlawfully killed, ihe
person in possession is amenable. The officers of the law
seek to find the killers, but in the event of failure the iden-
tity of the persoa in whose possession the unlawfully killed
game or the skins thereof are found, is sufficient proof to
warrant legal proceeding to impose the due penalty. Stop the
market and the unlawful killiog will cease. The dealer is
supposed to know the parties from whom he buys, he should
inform the officers of the law. He commits a double offense
in sending them to market for sale. The person who takes
counterfeit money, even through ignorance that it is counter-
feit, commits a crime in afterwards attempting to pass it off
as good to another. Tanuera know the quality of skins when
they handle them if dealers are careless in the purchase.

The case will be tested in the courts, bs it should be, and
the way to duly enforce the game larfs is to see that "no
guilty man escapes."

Mr. George C. Jewell of Petaluma had a rare day on Sat-
urday last, shooting over the Jewell Eanch. His bag was
forty English snipe, thirty five quails and three ducks.

Novato has yielded many tioe strings of quail to Mr. Wil-
liam Schreiber this season. His two days there last week

were well rewarded.

The Manufacture of Silkworm Gut-

A correspondent, who haa resided for a considerable time
on the Peninsula, giveB an interesting account of the process
of fabricating what is known to us as silkworm gut, bnt in
the verc acnlar is termed tripos de gusanos-de-sedt ; and in
French, boyauz de vers-n-soie (literally and peculiarly, "tripes
of wornuB of silk," and "guts of worms to silk"), says the
English Fishing Gazette.

Spain is the home for silkworm gut manufacture. Other
countries of the sunny Bonth also produce the article, but
only to a limited extent. People's general knowledge upon
its fabrication is very vague; they know that it is a product
of the iatestines of silkworms, aui usually at that their learn-
ing on the subject ends. Anglers who bo frequently throw
the subtle line out to river and lake will welcome a glimpse
of light upon the production of tbat about which the majority
are probably very much in the shade.

But not alone is the cmsurnp'ion of silkworm gut confined
to the art piscatory. It is use i in some other callings and
profdBsions, notably in medicine.

It is in the city of Murcii, thit the manufacture of silk-
worm gut is carried on to perfection, the production being in
the hands of several native houses. The reader can imagine
himself entering one of the sun-dried, brick, uninviting fab-
ricas, being received by the capatazz, or head man, and con-
ducted through the close rooms, noisy with the — to the
vhitante — unintelligible chatter of scores of olive-tinted, live-
ly, bnt poor senoritas, who sit at their frames for many
hourB daily manipulating the gut, and this at a miserable pit-
tance, tbey only earning from one and a half to two pesetaB
per diem of twelve hours or more {equal to Is 3d to Is 8d).

But now lo describe the rearing of the silkworm prior to its
being tirudo, or drawn — unlrabajo muy sucio ("a very filthy
work"), as Bay with justice the operators. It is ie only the
month-old worms which the visitor observes the young wom-
en handling. Go into some outhouses, and note among Ihe
green Btuff in boxes the almost indiscernable silkworm eggs,
which some six weeks later will have developed iolo the full-
grown silkworm, gitsano-de-eeda being of rapid growth. For
facility's sake, let the series of little greenhouses be number-
ed in accordauce with what are termed the different growing
periods of the worm. Well, now, see compartment No. 2.
Here the little trifles are nearly a week old, and are the size
of and look like ordinary tly maeots. At No. 3 they areseen
a fortnight old, and are an inch io length, but very skinny.
Section 4 reveals Ihem three weeks of age— aud what a
change! The puny little things of a week ago have sprung
up wonderfully. ThiB is the growing period of their ephem-
eral lives, aud they now measure two inches and over in
length— double what they did when seen in compartment No.
3; while in diameter they have trebled and "fourbled," to
nse a pat term. Division 5 exemplifies them a month old,
but they have not made considerable advance in length or
Mtuudity See them, however, at Section 6, when they are
between five and six weekB old.

Thr-ir eternal gorging during the preceding ten days bas
proven its effects remarkably, for now the "soft and gentle
worm" has grown to its >>ent, has had its last grand feast, and
made itself sleek and helplessly fat by the gluttony. And
now, when it is at maturity, measuring over three inches in

length, and about two in circumference, and i3, by association
with the other gusanos, about to itself breed, its happiness in
the sunshine is suddenly curtailed by being rnthleBsly
plunged into vinegar. This is the pickling process After
remaining in the sour essence for Borne days, jthey are
bundled ont wholesale, the heads deftly nipped off, skins peel
off easily, leaving little else but the bloated entrails, which
closely resemble narrow strips of griBtle The general im-
pression is that silkworms can have very little gut, and tbat
difficult to handle by reason of its sligbtness; but the truth
is, being pickled just when about to breed, the spirituous ac-
tion causes the intestines to swell abnormally.

Following the gerente back into the whitewashed work-
rooms, the walls of which are lit'ered with large bunches of
perfected silkworm gnt, and the floor strewn with stray ends
and bitB, it is interesting to note the rapidity with which the
seDoritas do their disagreeable work. They seize a humid
entrad, draw it to a desired length — from two to three feet —
keep the fingers assiduously at work upon it, testing for
weak spots, rejecting any faulty stringB found, ai d then
place the different lengths upon the various-sized divisions
of which their frames {marcos) consist. The usual jointed
lengths are over two feet, bnt ii is only the centre and one
end, or about one and a half feet of this which has any con-
sistency of thickness, as a third of thMength tapers finer and
finer into a mere filament thread. Take up a small huncb;
the color, it will be noli :ed, is a deep yellow tint— jast like
foil ripe corn — but the ends are of a much lighter nature.

Bleaching is the next important process, carried on in a
secluded building, the operatives in which are reqnired to
hold secret the methods pursued para blanquear. It is a
trade secret, though, doubtless, once inquired into, of little
value; probably some common chemicals and the hot son's
rays are the extent of secrelo. So visitors inquiring into
the method may as well be content with the negative wort's
of monsenor el administrador — "No se permite dar detalles."
After the first bleach, the gut undergoes a second process,
which covers careful sorting, separating, removing excres-
cences where the gnt graftings have taken place, etc. Then
it is ready for picking, parallels g into skeins, and fifty of
these go to make a neat, commercial bundle.

Of course there are diverse grades — the cheap and the dear.
Getting into the store-room, these will re fully seen. There
is the tine, the refined, the silky (marana), and the rich and
pure imperial; also guts of short lengths dyed remarkably
well in very pronounced tints; and the visUador will see any
amount of other articles manipulated from the gut of the
useful silkworm.

Conversing with the fabricaide, he unfolded one trick of
the trade: "Don't believe that all silkworm gut so-called is
produced from the gusa.no de-seda. Oh, no! After the
month of April the worms' breeding time is over. There are
no gusanos now. In place, czpillos (any land of guts) are
used extensively by those nnparticular casas who run out of
their stock of tripos, and then the material is palmed off as
genuine silkworm got."

""Why cannot we get in Englahd unbleached gnt very
transparent in nature?" was a question the editor of the Fish-
ing Gazette asked me to get answered. "We are always anx-
ious to meet a demand, and should be glad to send the raw
substance to Inglaterra if there were inquiries, and those
wants can best be met if people address us direct. It would
be found of little practical use, because in that state the gut
is in the rough, and unprepared, and lacks the solidification
acquired by bleaching."

Mr. W. A. Perry, "Silalicum," has moved from Seattle to
Clearbrook, Whatcom Co., "W. T. In sending notice of the
change, Mr. Perry addB: "This is the place for salmon.
They are running up the brooks in millions. I caught two
tons yesterday, and the only tackle I uBed was a club."

Numerous salmon have been seen in Feather Biver near
the bridge lately, and old-timers say it is a sure sign the fish
will soon begin to "run" the river as they did twenty years
ago. "We hope their prophecy will come true. — Gridlev Her-
ald.

[The run of salmon to the head waters of the Sacramento
has not been so heavy for ten years as it was on the recent
freshet. With cessation of hydraulicing and enforcement of
the fish laws, there seems good reason to believe that the

Sacramento and San Joaquin could soon be replenished.

Ed.]

Of all the days in the year for bay fishing last Sunday was
the poorest. The weather was Bplendid, the tides good, but
the fish would not bite.

The average catch of rock cod did not weigh over three
pounds.

It is becoming painfully evident to the boatmen that the
season is about over; for last Sunday many of them were
unable to rent even one boat.

Large quantities of carp are being daily caught at Lake
Merced. Paladini haB entered into a contractwith the Water
Company, which gives him the sole right to catch cam in
the lake. Through bim the markets are supplied.

Close to Lowry's Station is a pond which is filled with
carp. It is owned by a private gentleman, who has the carp
trained so that when he whistles they stick their heads over
the water in search for food. To a stranger tbe sight is an
amiiBing one. The fish will answer only the whistle of their
owner.

A writer in the Cornbill Magazine describes the carp as
follows:

The carp is a fine looking fellow, with his golden olive
brown back and sideB. The edges of his scales are golden
yellow and his belly is yellowish white; the fins are dark
brown. Still water suits his ruminating disposition; the
place to look for him is a poo! or pond with great clumps of
flag round about it, and masses of water weeds, with chan-
nels running between them which lead out to the open spots
of deep water. I say to look for him; to catch him is a very
different matter, for he is craf y as a fox in regard to bait.

On a warm summer evening you may see the carp moving
about in all directions, their great black tins showing above
the water. Some of them weigh four, and some of them as
much as Beven pounds. One peculiarity about hooking a
carp is that you are almost sure to do it when yon are fishing
for some other fish which differs entirely in its ways and
habits. He is a strong creature, and reanires judicious treat-
ment to hring him to grass. Aud when one hss got htm
there, what to do with him is a question, at least to myself,
with whom he is not tbe favorite he was with the monks of
old, who were supposed to be good judges in the matter of
eating. After admiring him as a fine Ml of flsh study, I hava
generally restored him to his native element, very little the
worse for wbat he bad undergone, for he is a regular die
bard dl a fish. ~*

Gentlemen:— We have used OSSIDINK for the past two years,

cure where firing failed, although performed by one of the most suc-
cessful veterinarians on the continent. We have recommended it to
others with like success, and believe it lias more merit than any blister
ever used. Very respectfully yours,

SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY, NOV. 23, 1889.

I

It has been the usual custom to present to our readers,
pictures of Pacific Coast borse3, but this week the plan is de-
viated from, owing to the prominence which this celebrated
pacer has obtained, by the remarks nude in many of the Eis-
tern papers avent the judging at Lexington, during the late
breeders meeting. Budd Doble was sired in 1S83, but he was
not asked to show his speed until four years old, his success
was not great however, he managing to get second money, in
two races only. As a five year old he won three races at De-
troit, Hillsboro and Maysville making a record of 2:19}.
This season in his first attempt, at Detroit he showed very
much improved form and lowered his record to 2:15|. Not
withstanding he won two heats at Hartford he was beaten by
Hal Pointer. At Terre Haute, Hal Po'ntar was a;aiu tha
victor and the subject of this sk)ic'j was witl.-a-sn afar four

heats had been paced. The following week at Lexington a
very seosatioDal race of six heats was paced and it is that
contest that has raised the ire of many sporting journalists in
regard to the judging and what one of the judges wrote about
the race. The,Breeders Gazette was'probable more pronounced
than any of the others, and from that paper we quote as fol-
lows :

Ref-rring to the Roy Wilkes race and the fine and punish-
ment imposed, the general expression is, "Served him right.''
Now, was it right? Possibly, ye3; bat was not the punish-
ment too extreme; did it not amount to persecution? The
trouble all came from the pernicious practice of laying up
heats to, as usually claimei, make sure of winning a race,
but, as you well ktiow, this is but a pretext to rob at the mu-
tual pool box. Who are the drivers that have principally en-
gaged in this practice? Why, most of the old field marshals,
will be the answer. Custom has almost made it turf law to

lay up heats, and when the novices see the artists, "gen-
erals," etc., playing the game and getting away with it, why
not they try the same scheme? More of this later on.

The judges' stand at Lexington was presided over by P. P.
Johnson, Esq., President of the National Trotting Associa-
tion, whoae object is to purify the tnrf and dive3t it of all
immoralities and wrong acts. Mr. Johnson's chief of staff
was Editor Busbey, who, if judged by his written words,
would visit condign punishment upon all evil-doers, who, in
any manner, shoiild spek to debase turf sports.

recently, at Denver, a very rich man, for nsing vile, vulgar
and violent language to the judges was ruled off all the
tracks of the American Trotting Association. At Denver
financial position could not Bave the man from disgrace. At
Lexington this person who so outraged public decency was
given full recognition by Messrs. Jobusou, Busby LV
colts participating in the stakes. At St. Louis
Haute, very properly, his Dominations were not
start. If I am correctly informe3, had this same

been expelled bv the National Trotting Association, he would
not have been permitted to start over any track, member cf
the Anurican Association. The prosperity of the American
Trotting Association is no longer a surprise to those familiar
with the pjlicv of both associations. _

Daviei and Kobens were punished for dropping two heats
for the purpose of improving the odds. Grant the justice of
the punishment and that a good precedent was established.
Later on we find that for three-not two, but tutee— heats
the nicer Bndd'Doble could not do better than 6, 6, 7, no heat
paced by him better than 2:2J, but his speed "came to him
in the fourth, so that he could win in 2:15}, the hflh in
2-131 and the sixth in 2:191. Besides one horse had won
two neats before Budd Doble reoovered his speed.

Now for the difference between "tweedle dee and tweedle
dual " Busby, editor and judge, says of this race: "Then
Budd Doble rushed his namesake into the the thickest of the
fight He won the fourth, fifth and sixth heats. Many
wounded were discovered after the smoke had lifted from the
battle-field." Gallant, wasn't it? "Many wounded" by Do-
ble minv robbed by Davies! Bosh! I am not defending or
apologizing for Davies, hut he has won every race he has
started for this season but one (not a robber's record), and
that one he lost after making a gallant fight against a combi-
atlon at Cleveland.

The Roy WilkeB race referred to was the free for all in
which Eobens, the driver of Roy Wilks, laid up two heats,
and he was then removed by the judges, the new driver win-
ning the race. The occupants of the judges' stand fined Rob-
ens S500, and L. A. Davis, theowner of Koy Wilkes, $1,000.

This well-known pacer is now at Oakland, where he will
winter.

Budd Doble is a well-bred horse, as his pedigree Bhows.

Lesincton (Ky.) Letter.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman :— As yon are aware,
there is a growing demand in the East for California horses.
In my sale of February nest I hope to have representatives
of every popular sire in your State, and think it would pay
vour breeders to consign their horses to my sale rather than
send them elsewhere. I believe a colt or filly with like
breeding and individuality will realize twenty per cent, more
money in Lexington than at any other point on the American
continent. Here saleB attract all of the Eastern buyers, and
in addition have Kentucky, Tennease, Virginia, and the
great West to draw from.

I have already received the promise of three choicely bred
sons and a daughter of the great George Wilkes, and am en-
couraged in the belief that this catalogue will contain more
grandly bred animals than were ever before included in one
Bale. It was at my sale of last February that the phenome-
nal Bell Boy (a California bred three-year-oli) realized
551,000, then the highest price ever paid for a horse in tbiB
country, and is to-day the highest price ever realized for a
horse at public auction.

My terms are six per cent, commission and SI per day
stable bill while in Lexington. Adveitising, auctioneers,
etc., are paid by me.

Colts at San Miguel Stock Farm.

The colls and fillies at Mr. Iwin Ayres, San Miguel Stock
Farm have all been named and now the youngsters are
launched to the world with all the eclat imaginable. Mani-
brino Wi'kes has already four in the charmed circle with a
splendid prospect of increasing the number before the end
of next season. This year he has made an iDcrease with
Clara P. 2:29$, and although Balkan still retains his last
years mark of 2:29^ he has been timed in several races be-
tween 2:22 and 2:23, although the company was so hot that
he could not win. There is no fear, but that the newly
named weanliug, will add many a new lustre to the brow of
the old horse. The colts with their breeding, marks, names
etc., is as follows:

Last Saturday was the day selected by the large stables to
try and beat the records. A success has been ma le, but not
such time as was anticipated by many who had watched the
horses in their work through the circuit. When the finishing
day of the P. C. T. H. B. A. came around there were several
who de3ired still another chance to demonstrate what their
horses could do. After careful consideration the Napa track
was selected for the trials, as the Bay District course was oc-
cupied by the running division and it became neces-
sary to pick out another track hastily and one close at
hand, as the horses had to be kept "on edge" for the final at-
tempts of the year; Betaluma, Napa and Pleasanton were
each thought of in turn, but as there was every probability of
fine weather until the new year, Napa carried off the palm and
manager Harry Starr in conjunction with the Directors at
once set to work to fit the track for the reception of the dis-
tinguished visitors. Monday afternoon and Tuesday was all
the time allowed them for on Wednesday Messrs. Marvin and
Hickok appeared on the scene of action and took the work
over to themselves. Morning noon and night theEe well
known kDights of the rein could be seen devoting their time
to the preparation of the track and in between times, speed-
ing their horses so as to fit them for Saturday's work. Fri-
day evening a special commissioner of the Beeeder and
Sportsman started for Napa to witness the great events
which were promised for the following day. Early on the
morning of Saturday a trip was taken around the track and
never was there a course which was in better order for the
trials about to take place. For about twelve feet from the
pole the ground was like the bed of a billiard table that be.
ing the portion on which the most time had been spent. As
the trains rolled in from different points, the visitors came
to see the work and all were willing to acknowledge that the
track was the fastest that had ever been prepared in this
State. The Eastern visitors who came npon the trains from
San Francisco were amazed at the work performed and one
and all proclaimed the track the acme of perfection. Early
in the morning Stamboul waB shod for the task he had before
him, and scores of persons stood around while the job was
being performed. Never was more care taken of, and greater
attention paid to, the shoeing of any horse than that
given to the great son of Sultan on that Saturday morning.
There is no hesitation in saying that every one present felt
that it was his bounden duty to see that every attention was
given to the most minute detail, for every one wanted to see
Stamboul win the large wager for L. J. Rose, and at the same
time a low prayer went up from each that he beat the great
mark Bet by Axtell, so that California might gain possassion
of that most coveted honor, the lowest stallion record. At
last the work was completed and the horse was 6ent for
a preliminary warming up. He looked well, acted well, and
gave every indication of being able to sustain the honors of
the State.

But that was only one horse, and Palo Alto had as many
admirers, if not more than the great repesentative of the
mighty Moor family. Senator Stanford's adherents of the
thoroughbred line of breeding for trotters, were out in full
force, and many were the discussions that arose as to the wis
dom of the theory. One gentleman said after looking Palo
Alto carefully over "I would not mind wagering a trifle that
if he were prepared for it, Palo Alto could run a mile in 1:42."
One thought he was too fine, bnt the large majority did
not care how he looked as long as he could beat 2:12. Quite
a number of horses were on the outside por.ion of the
track during the early morning hours and a large crowd
stood around looking at the speedy trotters as they received
their preliminary work.

One sun burned son of the soil asked in my presence
"What that was going up the track." An answer was given
by his companion, "Why, that's Adonis." It is true Hickok
was driving, but there were many, better posted, who knew
that it was the Coombs' Bros, yearling oolt by Stamboul that
the "Tallyrand of the Turt" was giviDg a few little touches
of education to. The Directors of tho Association are mostly
young men imbned with a great love for the sport of the
tuif, and all were on hand to render every assistance neces-
sary to have the amusements of the afternoon pass off
pleasantly. After careful consideration, J. H. White, Presi-
dent of the P. C. T. H. B. Association, I. DeTurk, President
of the Saota Rosa Association, and F. W. Loeber of the
local organization, were selected as judges, while the respon-
sible position of timers fell to the lot of Dr. C. W. Aby
manager of the Langtry farms; Hon. F. L. Coombs, and
Wilfred Page, Secretary of the P. C. T. H. B. A. Able men,
one aud all, and the Eastern gentleman who was backing old
Father Time against Stamboul knew that he would have an
equal show in the scale of justice witli the late owner of the
noted Btallion.

Mr. Charles Scott of Napa, acted ub marshal of the day,
and after the course was cleared the opening event wa3 an-
nounced in the presence of about 1500 persons. Amung the
better known wero Ariel Lathrop, representing tbe Palo

Alto Stable; Hon. L, J. Rose, who was present to see if
Stamboul would trot in 2:12; W. H. Crawford from Lexing-
ton, Ky., had a seat ia the timer's stand to protect his inter-
est in the wager made with Senator Rose. M. Salisbury Of
the Pleasanton Stock Farm, was present, accompanied by hia
trainer and driver, Andy McDowell, Dr. Latham, whom
everybody knows, was an interested spectator; as was likewise
D. M. Reavis of Chico. Geo. Guerne and hie son after whom
Alfred G. is named, had come over from Santa Rosa to see if
their well-known Anteeo colt could reduce his record of 2:23.
Capt. Mm-tin Bulger of San Francisco, had a front seat, and
Dr. Maclay, the President of the California Veterinary
Society, could be seen just over the wire in the grand stand.
Mr. Kemper was down from Oakvilfe, while still another
portion of the county was represented by W. W. Whitten.
Mr. Valensin was on hand to see if the Sidney yearling
Faustino would start, and he was accompanied by L. A.
Davie3, of Roy Wilkes fame.

One gentleman who rarely talkes about hor£e3, but is fre-
quently seen on the prominent tracks, is Prof. Heald, and
he was there to witness the flyers. The Directors of the
Napa Agricultural Association were on hand to manage affairs,
and under their able guidance everything passed off
smoothly,

While the crowd kept pouring in to the enclosure, Mr. Ed_
Bith'ra trainer for Jerome I. Case drove out behind the
world renownad Pballas 2:13| and jogged the great stallion
a couple of miles the first in 2:29}, and the second in 2:28}.
There are but few in this State who have seen the only horse
who ever trotted the fourth heat of a race in 2:13|, so a de-
scription may not be out of place here. His color is a deep
seal brown; stands 15.3 hands; he has a clean-cut, expressive
head, a happy medinm between the Stars and Hambletoni.
ans; full, lustrous eyes; ears good length, thin and nicely
tapered; good length of neck, much longer than the average
Hambletonian; straight, powerful back and broad loin, the
croup and rump moderately sloping to a flag which he car.
ries nicely (a feature which he imparts to all his progeny);
deep, massive quarters, powerful stifle, with legs that have
a perfect combination of bone, muscle and tendon, feet well
rounded, with a strong, tough wall. He is by Dictator, dam
Betsey Trotwood, Bhe by Clark Chief. ItmayjuBt be possi-
ble that an early season will be made with Pballas in this
State before his return to the East.

It was almost two o'clock before Bow Bells, an Election-
eer colt was brought out to commence the events which
were on the programme. He was hardly at himself, the
journey from the Bay had caused him to Iobo speed, and he
could do no better on the first attempt than 2:41, so Mr.
Loeber announced from the stand that after an interval he
wonld be given another trial.

Mr. Marvin then brought out Sunol, and the judges an-
nounced that owing to an injury which the three year old
trotting Queen han sustained, while on her way to the boat,
at San Francisco, Sunol would not try to beat her record
bnt would give an exhibition mile. It seems that the filly
slipped and fell to the ground skinning her quarters, and it
was fortunate the injury was no greater. Notwithstanding
the misfortune, the daughter of Electioneer was in fine fet-
tle and trotted a wonderful mile. During the preliminary
scoring, she acted rather badly and did not take kindly to
the work, and it was several minutes before Marvin nodded
for the word. She got off in good shape, and went to the
quarter in 31 J and only 1:05 was necessary to complete the
distance to the half. Here Marvin drew in tbe filly and
kept her well within herself as he did not care to have her
go too fast. The three quarter pole was reached in l:42f
and she came under the wire in 2:15. Tbe audience was
delighted with the exhibition, and showed their appreciation
by vigorous applause.

The track was now occupied by Stamboul and the yearling
Faustino, both of whom wera given warming np heats. At
the conclusion of this work James A. DuBtin, Faustino's driv-
er, requested permission from the judges to withdraw the
Sidney baby from the programme, as he did not like the
manner in which the colt worked. He promiaed to try and
improve him by the following Saturday and then go for a
low record. Permission having been given to Mr. Dustin to
withdraw Faustino, Palo Aito was brought out accompanied
by a runner, the latter oausing a great deal of laughter by
the manner in which he cantered up the track. There were
but few who indulged in the merriment that knew the breed-
ing of the thoroughbred, or their hilarity would have been
changed to pity, to see such a royally bred horse brought
down to the menial position of a teaser. The runner was
Lucifer by Hindoo, dam Mattie Amelia, by King Alfonso,
2nd dam Amy Farley by Planet, 3rd dam Lulu Horton by
imp Albion, 4th dam Martha Dunn by imp Sovereign, etc.
Orrin A. Hickok drove the ruuue.r, and of course Charles
Marvin was behind Palo Alto. When Marvin nodded, the
Stanford favorite was going a merry clip and he reached the
quarter pole in 32} a 2:09 gait. The next quarter is a little
up hill and 1:05 was the announcement as Palo Alto trotted
past the half, the three quarters were negotiated in 1:39£.
but in that last quarter he ma^e a disastrous break, causing
him to lose at least a second, and when within one hundred
yards of the wire he again left hiB feet but Marvin 4uickly
caught him and he trotted squarely under the wire in 2:12),
tbe second fastest mile up to than ever trotted in the Stale.
It is due to Mr. Marvin to state that his injured arm incon-
venienced him greatly, he not having recovered fiom his
spill out on the Bay District Track. If he had had the nec-
essary amouut of strength it is likely tbat Palo Alto would
not have broken the second time and the stallion record

%ht gmte aw£ j^ptrctsromt.

would at least have been equalled if not beaten. Again the
delighted spectators broke out in loud applause and Mr.
Marvin lifted his hat in response to the cheers.

Bow Bells was once more given a chance to get in the 2:30
list, but the little fellow was sadly handicapped as there was
a soraper away op on the backstretoh which he had to go
around, and within a few feet thereafter he broke and it was
hard work to make him settle. If it had not been for his
breaking he would beyond question have accomplished his
task, as it was he made the mile in 2:32£.

The nest event on the card was the attempt of Stamboul
to beat his record of 2:13| and at the same tiaae try to win
the Rose wager that he would make 2:12 during the year
1889. Stamboul usually carries his head away to one side,
giving him a rather strange appearance, but on Saturday he
was bent on work and looked neither to the right nor to the
left, but kept his head straight out in front and stuck to his
work faithfully. The runner was taken in charge of by Mar-
vin aud his driving on the last eighth of the mile was one of
the finest bits of generalship seen in many a long day. When
the word was given from the stand the $40,000 stallion start-
ed of in good shape and accomplished the quarter in 33 sec-
onds. He would have to keep this same gait up to the wii6
to win Mr. Rose's bet and the query was everywhere aBked,
could he do it? The second quarter was in a quarter of a
second less, the timers watches showing 1:05 J for the half
mile. When on the turn in the third quarter, Marvin who
had bean hanging behind came up with the ranuer, and
Stamboul wanted to go faster, but Hickok wai afraid he
would break and took him back just a trifle, and the stallion
consumed 34 seconds in making the third quarter. The offi-
cial time given by the watch holders was 1:39| for the dis-
tance, when the Bon of Sultan swept into the straight. From
this point he came home with a great burst of speed and
completed the mile in 2:12J only taking 32} seconds for the
last quarter. Mr. Crawford was sitting in tbe timers stand
and as the game horse passed under the wire, not having
made skip or break in the mile, he pressed forward to the
timers with his own watch held in his shaking hand and in-
quired what time they made. When Dr. Aby showed 2:12
1-5 and Frank Coombs showed exactly the same time, Craw-
ford drew a long breath, his $5,000 was not gone yet, there
was still another show for it, and as he sat down once more
the bleached face gradually disappeared and the nervous-
ness quickly left him; it was a narrow shave and
the possession of $10,000 had hung for the moment on the
decision of the timers, and the Lexington man had retained
his interest in the wager by the inb'ntisimal part of a second.
As the horse came back to the wire, the most rapturous ap-
plause was lavished on both horse and driver. The people
seemed carried away with the great feat which they had jnst
seen performed, and Napa had two more low records added
to the credit of her track. When Mr. Hicknk returned to
the stand to weigh, he was rather nervous and claimed that
he was entirely to blame in not touching or beatiog 2:12>
he said that when Marvin came up on the turn with the run-
ner he was afraid that Stamboul would break and took him
back not feeling that the stallion had the speed which he
afterward displayed coming down the homestretch. To Mr.
Marvin, every credit isdue.for the way in which he encour-
aged the trotter in his work, and it was patent to every one
present, that with fair weather, Stamboul with Hickok be-
hind him could reduce the stallion record. He now stands
in the same niche as Falo Alto and California has the credit
of having two of the three fastest trotting stallions in the
world,

"When the excitement had somewhat subsided Mr. Marvin
brought out Sport 2:22$, (by Piedmont— Sontag Mohawk) and
Bent him a mile to beat his record, but 2:25 was the best he
could do.

Sonoma County breeders have universally taken advantage
of the chance they had to avail themselves of the services of
Anteeo, the first son of Electioneer to get into the 2:30 list,
and as a consequence there are many of the grandchildren of
the Palo Alto sire in and about Santa Rosa, Napa and Bur-
rounding towns. During the circuit Alfred G. made a re-
cord for himself of 2:23, and it was to beat that, that he faced
the wire under the handling of Marvin. That the four-year-
old was speedy was a well known fact, after the fight he made
for first honors against Atto Rex at Oakland, but even the
enthusiasts did not believe he could enter the "twenty" list.
When the judge said "go," he struck afast gait and got to the
quarter in 34 seconds; he was at the half in 1;10 and at the
three-quarters in 1:45£. He came down the long homestretch
with a splendid burst of speed but made a break a hundred
and fifty yards from home, but was caught in magnificent
style and passed under the wire in 2:19|, thus making the
first grandson of Electioneer to beat 2:20.

The Welkin fairly rang with the plandits of the excited
horsemen. When the announcement of the time was made
from the stand, Mr. George Guerne was the happiest man on
the grounds. His friends clustered around him and it took
him some time to shake hands with the many who wanted to
congratulate him.

We now come to a special race arranged between Cora C,
a pacer, by Whippleton, and Mambrino Chief Jr., a trotter,
by McDonald Chief, he a son of Clark Chief. Harry Starr
drove the pacer, which ib owned by H. W. Crabb, and Thom-
as Smith, of Vallejo, drove the trotting stallion which he
owns himself. They were sent off to a very even start. The
mare broke on the upper turn and in a moment or two after-
wardB the horse broke, but while she was hardjto settle he
oaught very prettily and it took the stallion bat a very short

time to get thirty leDgths in the lead, Cora C. proving a bad
breaker.

Mambrino Chief Jr. again broke on the homestretch from
the effects of interfering, but he is a handy breaker and he
was on his feet in no time and came under the wire an easy
winner in 2:34}.

The second heat was a reversal of the first one, as Cora C.
paced very steadily while Mambrino Chief Jr. broke twice.
The mare won by a dozen lengths, the time being 2:314,.

The third heat furnished a surprise, inasmuch that Cora C.
went to the quarter pole in 34J seconds and kept up the same
speed almost to the half, but she broke badly on the back-
stretoh and bad to be brought almost to a stand still, where-
upon Smith gradually reduced the space between the two
and finally passed Cora. From here out, the stallion had
things all his own way and be won the heat in 2:39£.
Owing to darkness, the judges postponed the race until
Monday, at 2 o'clock p. m.

There were many who left on the afternoon train for San
Francisco, but a few remained to avail themselves of the hos-
pitality of the JNapaites, which is proverbial. Around the
stove of the Bitting room in the Napa Hotel, on Saturday
evening, many an almost forgotten story was told, and old
battles of the turf were fought over again. Ed Bitber related
his victories with Phallas, and how he drove Jay-Eye-See to
his record. Ashland, Lodi, Langford and Norfolk, although
dei*d to the turf, had many of their deeds told over to willing
listeners, and taken all iD all, a very pleasant evening was
spent at the horseman's home.

When the train arrived from San Fraucisco on Sunday
morning, the city papers were eagerly soanned to read an
account of the performances of the preceding day. One of
the dailies was illustrated by pictures, among which was one
purporting to be Palo Alto and his runner up. The artist
evidently made a mistake, for both of the horse3in the sketch
are trotters, but a little trine like that makes no difference to
the great daily of the present day. In the columns of the
Bame paper there was a statement to the effect that W. H.
Crawford had made an assertion to the effect that the Napa
track was thirty feet short of a mile. The Directors were
very indignant that suoh an accusation had been made, and
arrangements were made on Monday morning to have affida-
vits forwarded to each of the daily papers, showing that the
course was full length. The following is a copy of the docu-
ment:
State of California

County of Napa.
O. H. Buckman, being duly sworn, deposes aud says: That
he is County Surveyor of Napa County. That he laid out
the race course for the Napa Agricultural Association. That
he has measured said race track and that the same is one
mile one inch and a fraction of an inch in circumference
measured three feet from the pole. (). H. Buckman.

County Surveyor.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this 18th day of Novem-
ber, 1889. W. E. Deweese,

Notary Public.
Mr. Crawford was very indignant when he saw the state-
ment, and hastened to send a telegram to W. J, McCollum,
one of the Directors of the Napa Agricultural Society, as fol_
lows:

Ban Fkancisco, Nov. 18, J.889.
To W. J. McColl urn: -Please say to Messrs. Coombs that the Exam-
iner's report is without foundation. That every heat was trotted just
as announced. W. H. Cbawfjbd.

The aspersion cast on the track was of a most damaging
nature, and the reporter is much to blame for having written
such a statement. If the weather had held good, it was the
intention of the association to give another day's racing, but
the elements seem inclined to put a barrier to any more phe-
nomenal performances this year.

Mr. John Bailhache, of Healdsburg, and I. DeTurk, of
Santa Rosa, have been in attendance on the Board of Review
of the American Trotting Association during the week.

Now that big prices and otters for thoroughbreds are the
order of the day, it may be interesting to note that Mr#
McCalmont has been tendered £10,000 for Timothy, to go
abroad. But Mr. McCalmont is not at present "short" for a
few thousands (nor is he likely to be), and as he is a good
sportsman and, moreover, is fond of the horse, he declined
to be tempted by a price whioh is doubtless much above
Timothy's real value. This is the right feeliog for a man to
have.

The Derby of 1890 was made the medium of a little trade
jn London on Friday for the first time, and Sniefoot was
made favorite at 4 to 1! The only other candidate inquired
after was Le Nord, and the Baron's colt was supported to the
tune of 125 to 25. When we consider the performances of the
two colts it ib no matter for surprise that they should be
pounced upon as the best goods, more especially as the fly-
ing Sigoorina is not engaged in the race, but when, on the
other hand, we contemplate the fact that the winter has to be
got through — a season that discovers and develops many
weaknesses of the highly-bred horse— it is truly strange that
such prices should be taken seven months before the race.

Young Stock From Kentucky.

Funck Bros, and T. J. Drais of Farmington, San Joaquin
County, have receotly returned home after an extended visit
to the blue-graBS region of Kentucky, and are very enthusi-
astic over the number of tine trotting Btock they saw whilst
there, and the high-class trotting and fast performances at the
Lexington meeting in October.

Whilst in Kentucky, these gentlemen visited the majority
of the breeding establishments, including that of W. C.
Franoe, Highland Stock Farm, and of which place they speak
in terms of the highest praise. Highland Farm is described
as consisting of about 600 acres of the riohest soil of that
region, all down in blue-grass, and divided off into fields and
paddocks, supplied with a perfect system of water-works as
are necessary for the requirements of a great establishment.
The stabling and barns are well finished, convenient and
extensive, and a mile track probably the best on any private
place in ihe State is immediately contiguous.

The stallions at Highland Stock Farm are the renowned
Red "Wilkes, Wilton, Allandorf, Sentinel Wilkes, Pilot Mam-
brino and Dark Night, whilst not the least prominent feature
is a grand collection of aboutone hundred broodmares, hand-
Bomeand sound, highly bred, of great uniformity, finish and
individuality, composed of judicious selections of the Mam-
brino Patchen, George Wilkes, Almont, Belmont, Kentucky
Prince and other most famonB families of the day. The
young stock, some 50 or 60 in number, are Btated to be very
superior and promising, and for which there was apparently
much demand.

It being the week of the Lexington trotting meeting, High-
laud Stock Farm was inundated with visitors, all anxious to
get a glimpse at the noted stallions, inspect the famous brood-
mareB or make some selection of young stock to take
home. Both gentlemen made several purchases from Mr.
France, and speak with a considerable degree of pleasure and
satisfaction of the courteous treatment and fair-dealing they
received in the transaction.

Mr. Drais has brought home a representative of the famous
Wilkes-Mambrioo cross, a dark grey weanling filly by On-
ward, 2 :25i, out of Blanche Patchen (half-sister to Alcryon,
2:15J) by Mambrino Patchen, second dam Lady Blanohe by
Hoagland's Privateer, third dam by Alexander's Abdallah.
This is an exceedingly tine filly of substance, make and qual-
ity. She has good bone and muscle with neat yet stout con-
formation, whilst her breeding is in lines that are productive
of fast speed and famenesB. Her sire, Onward, has quite a
good record, and is also the sire of 26 in the list, including
Houri, 2:17, and Acolyte, 2:21, his dam being the famous old
Dolly, who also produced Director, 2:17 (sire of Direct,
2:18£, Margaret S, 2:19i) and Thorndale, 2:224,, by Mambrino
Chief. The dam of the filly Blanche Patchen is one of the
most handsome and valuable brood mares on Mr. France's
establishment — a typical Mambrino Patchen mare — and out
of the dam of Alcryon, 2:15^, one of the most famous and
fastest race horses of the year, is sufficient testimony as to
the lines of speed in which her breeding lays.

The purchase of Funck BroB., was a bay weanling filly by
Wedgewood 2;19, out of Helen Wilkes by George Wilkes 2:22,
second dam by Edwin Forrest represents a strain that for
high class breeding cannot be surpassed. This is a filly of
handsome color, attractive appearance, with a neat looking
head and neck and ail the quality, Bubstance, bone and fin-
ish peculiar to the WilkeB taniily. She is evenly and mature-
ly developed, haB quite a fine set of iiuibB and great indica-
t one of speed. Her sire Wedgewood, is a race horse himself,
well known as begetting stock with speed stamina and en-
durance, chiefly Favonia 2:15, Conway, pacer, 2:18f, Con-
naught 2:24 aud Nugget 2:26|. is by Belmont renowned as a
great producer having now thirty in the list inclusive of nine
this year and whose stock continue to breed on a 1 the time.
His dam was Woodbine (dam of Woodford Mambrino 2:21}
sire of Abbotsford 2:19}, and Mambrino Dudley 2:I9|), by
Woodford. The dam of the filly is a remarkably fine looking
daughter of George Wilkes (and for whom Mr; France paid
big money) a family loo well known as great Bpeed producers
throughout the Slates to need com men!, and out of Kitty
Forrest, one of the few daughters of Edwin Forrest in Ken-
tucky, and which blood for brood mares line is in great de-
mand. Her third dam ia Kitty Kirman (dam of Gretohen,
the dam of Romero 2:194, Del Sur 2:24, and Inca 2:27), by
Fanning's Canada Chief and thence thoroughbred. Any
practical man who analyses the breeding of this filly, cannot
help being struck with her rich pedigree, and coupled with
individuality and high promise makes her quite a valuable
investment.

Both Messrs. Faulk Bros and Drais report the youngsters
as standing the long journey exceedingly well and being in
excelhnt condition on their arrival at Stockton. We congrat-
ulate them on their practical judgment in bringing such
high-class goods to the State, and wish them every success in
such undertakings. All seem more than satisfied with their
dealings with Mr. France, and we should not seem surprised
were they, as a result of their experience, to take another
trip to Kentucky in a little while and return with something
exceedingly choice.

Another Californian gentleman, Mr. Lowell of Sacramento,
has recently visited the home of Red Wilkes and secured
from Mr. France what we estimate will prove quite a prize.
ThiB is Red Wedge, 11,278, a bay weanling by Red Wilkes,
firBt dam Ulva, record 2:27, trial 2:19, by Wedgewood, 2:19.
second Talejo by Alexander's Abdallah, third dam Madame
Dudley (grandam of Mambrino Dudley, 2:19f, by a Bashaw
horBe, Here is very select breeding with an extremely hand-
some individual baoked up by race speed of the right kind,
and an animal that wiil undoubtedly prove very valuable to
his owner and quite an acquisition to the Pacific Slope.

Samuel Gamble, of San Francisco, has also within the past
few days purchased of W, C. France, the bay weanling filly
by Red Wilkes, dam Patchen Girl by Mambrino Palchen,
second dam Daisy Dean by Joe Downing, third dam Kitty
by Redmon's Boston, son of Redmon's Valentine. Also the
bbj weanling filly by Wilton 2:19£, dam Ball by Homer, (son
of Mambrino Patchen), second dam Susie by Marion, bou of
Lexington, third dam by Brown's Bellfounder, son of im-
ported Bellfounder. Both these fillies are very handsome,
highly-bred and of considerable promise They are quite
a credit to their breeder, Mr. France, and being seleoted by
Buoh a practical judge as Mr. Gamble, out of a member
amounting to nearly thirty, specially for this State, is suffi-
cient proof of their intrinsio merit aud high value.

The bowels of the horse can always be kept working pleas-
antly and healthfully by unpplying them with suitable
material to work on, and avoiding those suddeD and extreme
changes which give the dtlicAte and sensitive tubes no time
to adapt themselves to their altered work. More or less
nutritious corn, more or less hay, straw, or other woody
fibre, more or less wet bran, more or less soft pulp, more or
less green food, are the Bimple agents by which the bowels of
any horse can be kept in healthy, working order, without
attacking them with any of the destructive poisons we have
learned to call medicines.

Why Some Horses Go Lame.

i, dam Bonnie Meade ;

: fan-

Trainers for the race course are constantly sailing as near
the wind as they can. 'Iheir horses must be well nourished,
but the trainer wants the tubes by which the nourishment
must be conveyed to occupy as little room as possible, in or-
der that more room may be left for the expansion and play of
the lungs. Their horee'a natural appetite craves for more
balk in his food; he longs for grass, hay or even straw, and
it is often necessary lo ranzzle him or to litter him with saw-
duBt to prevent him from eating his bed. The more oats a
horse can be got to eat the better his trainer is pleased, bat
no horse can live on oats alone, and some more bulky food
must be allowed.

But Borne successful modern trainers allow their horses
Borne succulent food, such as a little roots or grass, with great
advantage, especially for very nervoos horses. Bulky, suc-
culent food is the sorest relief for excessive nervousness in
horses. But the trainer tiies to rind out how much hay or
other woody fiber, or bulEy food, is absolutely necessary to
keep his horse in health, aud in nine cases out of ten he errs
on the side of too little and too dry. Only thoroughbreds
will stand thiis treatment, and a large pioportion of them go
lame or otherwise break down under it. None of tbem will
stand it very loDg; all get "stale," stiff or prematurely old
under it, and so prematurely injurious is it to the constitu-
tion that the best mares that have been loog trained will
often not breed at ail afterwards, and hardly any of them
ever breed a winning foal, however good they may have been
themselves.

W, P. Ijam, proprietor of Warren Park, Terre Haute, Ind.,
and part owner of the Great Astell, pronounces the Boyce
Wash the finest preparation for fevered Legs and cracked
heels ever used in his stables.

One of our exchanges says the horses in Nevada are
trained to wear snowshoes. After an animal becomes used
to them, he cau travel four or five miles an hour, where it
would be impossible to get that distance in a week without
them. The shoes are made of thin bteel plate, and measure
abontnine by sleven inches. The horses are shod with long

. B'eet to Be Healthy Must Be Clean.

Any foul and diseased condition of the foot primarily con-
sists in inflammation and ulceration of the villous and sensi-
tive surfaces -within the clefts of the frog; it appears to arise
from the continual app'ication of varions kinds of dirt and
muck, which irritates the tissues both externally and inter-
nally. Animals standing continually in foul, damp stables,
or in Btraw yardB. are liable to have this disease. Among its
first symptoms is a discharge of a fetid mucopurulent fluid
from the cleft of the frog, which gradually extends to the
neighboring parts, and if neglected may involve the whole
foot. This condition produces lameness, and of course con-
stitutes unsoundness.

Carefully remove the diseased horn and thoroughly clean
out the excavation with a drachm of carbolic acid, to
must be added one ounce of water. After this tht
remedy may be used: Calomel, four drachms; glyi.
ounces.

This mixture must be put on a pledget of ork
to the cleft of the frog. Outside this a bandage
wood tar will do good service and keep the feet cr
clean.

P, C. Blood Horse Associat'n.

The opening day of the Pacific Coast Blood Horse Associa-
tion last Saturday wa< a success in every respect, the track,
which was in exceptional order the week previous having been
specially prepared for the record breaking trotters had been
cd t up a little, but was, nevertheless, very fast, as the time
made in different races proves. With the exception of a few
prominent trotting horse owners.all the well known horsemen
from Sacramento, Stockton, and in fact all over the State,
were present. Prominent among the spectators were Senator
George Hearst, W. S. Hobart, J. V. Coleman, Adolph Spreck-

The racing all through was good. Tue first race was pro-
ductive of a good contest, Daisy D., with 120 pounds op, run.
ning a game race, her effort being greatly appreciated, for the
mare is always a great public favorite, while— tneSwinner's—
Abi's owner, Col. Thornton, is one of the most popular,
straightforward, thoroughbred sportsmen in the State. The
two year old and the mile and a half were both won by the
Palo Alto representatives. An unfortunate accident Bpoilt
the two year old race, but, fortunately, very little damage was
done. Peel ran a splendid race in the mile and a half, win-
ning cleverly when asked in 2:36§. The six furlong and repeat
was unfortunately marred by the start in the Becond heat,
and Kildare, who won the first, could not repeat.

The officers for the day were: Judges— Senator Hearst,
M. F. Tarpey and Col. Thornton (Carlton Coleman officiated
in place of Col. Thornton during the first race). Timers—
C. Green and R. T. Carroll. Starter— Thomas F. Meagher.
Secretary— E. S. Culver.

At two o'clock the first race was called up, and betting was
fast and furious in books, bat the pool box was not much
patronized. The Montana contingent backed Jubilee as
though the race waB all over, while Daisy D. was heavily
backed by the talent, who had seen her easily work a good
mile in 1.44 two days previous, while the cognoscenti who
were at Sacramento recalled Abi's form at the State Fair,
when she was second, with 122 pounds up, to Glen Ellen in
1:42$, and third, with 119 pounds up, to Rico in 1:42, and
played their money on her freely at four to one. Of the oth-
ers, McGinnis, who is always a favorite with the public, car-
ried a good lot of money in small quantities.

In the auotion pools DaiBy D. $25, Jubilee $25, Abi $15
and the field $13. The starting price in the books was: Jubi.
le*, 8 to 5; Daisy D, 3 to 1; Abi, 4 to 1; Picnic 8 to 1; Mc-
Ginnis, 8 to 1; Nerva, 30 to 1; Perigrene, 30 to 1.

Place betting: Jubilee, 3 to 5; Daisy D., 1 to 1; Abi, 6 to 5;
Rico. 3 to 1; McGinnis, 3 to 1; Nerva, 10 to 1; Perigrene, 10
to I.

When the Beven horses faced the Btarter, Abi, with her
light weight boy, delayed the start for a while, but when the
nag dropped they were all together aod under way. Hazlitt,
on Jobilee, set the pace round the turn, with Abi close up
and D*iey D. clear of the rest. Up the bnckstretch Jubilee
drew further away, being a good two lengths in front of the
rest. Daisy passed Abi aod drew up to Jubilee on the turn,
and when well in the straight both were ridden hard, but
Daisy had a shade the best of it until Casey, on Abi, who
rode with admirable judgment, came throogh with a rush, and
had themall beaten at the drawgate, wi ning readily by two
lengths, Daisy D. a length and a half in front of Jobilee.

When the excitement had subsided, and Col. Thornton had
been congratulated on all sides, he took hiB seat in the judges'
itand) and the Ihree starters were called up for the Ladies'
S'ake, which was generally conoeded to be a gift for the Palo
Alto representative Mulo, who worked the distance in 1:15 1-5
a conple of days previous. The betting was not very briak,
except tor the place Jessie C. carrying a lot of money.

In the auction pools Muta sold for $100 and the field $30.

The books had Muta 1 to 4, "Whisban 3 to 1, Jessie C. 6 to 1.
Place bettiDg: 2 to 5 Whisban, 4 to 5 Jessie G.

There was very little delay at the post, and when the flag
fell Muta soon showed a shade in front before an eighth of a
mile had been run. Whisban was pulled in behind Jessie C,
and striking her, fell on to the rails and threw O'Niel; Je-sie

0. on suffrance ran at Muta's girths until half way down the
straight, when the favorite drew away, winning easily by two
open lengths. O'Niel was taken in a carriage to the Villa,
where Dr. W. G. Rosb, the well known owner of imported
Cheviot, attended to him, and reported that though severely
shaken, no bones were broken.

When everyone bad calmed down, the mile and a half was
pnt on the slates. In the auctions Peel sold for $100, the
stable $40, and the field $17. In the books, Peel 1 to 8, Ty_
coon 5 to 1, Mikado, Hotspur and Coloma 15 to 1 each, For-
£Bter20tol. Place betting: Tycoon 4 to 5, Mikado 4tol,
Hotspur and Coloma 3 to 1, Forester 10 to 1.

After a short delay, caused by the fractiousness of Forester,
who behaved in his usual way, the flag was dropped. Mika-
do was rushed to the front, evidently under orders to make
the pace for Tycoon, and so well did he do it that he beat his
stable companion. Mikado was followed by Coloma, Peel
and Tycoon the first time past the stand, and being urged
right along, increased his lead round the turn aod into the
baokstretch. Peel gradually closed up and Mikado, under
persuasion, astonished every one by running as gimeasa
pebble, but Peel Biowly but surely got up to him, and with
Monaban sitting still, won by a neck with something in hand,
Tycoon two lengths back third, and Forester last, he and
Hotspur being evidently out of their class.

SUMMARY.

The three-quaiter mile and repeat selling race had eleven
starters and betting was fast and furious. In the auctions
the field sold for S40, Longshot aod Ida Glenn §15 each,
and Bessie Shannon $8. In the books Ida Glenn sold favor-
ite 3 to 1, Longsbot 4 to 1, Oro, Billy D. and Kildare 7 to 1,
Applause and Tom Daly 8 to 1, Bessie Shannon 10 to 1,
Nabeau and Johnny Gray 15 to 1, Minnie B 25 to 1.

Place betting: Ida Glenn 6 to 5, Longshot 7 to 5, Oro,
Kildare and Billy D 2 to 1, Tom Daly and Applause, 3 to 1,
Bessie Shannon 4 to 1, Nabeau and Johnny Gray 5 to 1,
MiDnieBS to 1.

After two false starts the nag was dropped to a fairly good
start, the big field being moving, and all well together.

Ida Glenn cut out the work at a merry clip, closely fol-
lowed by Tom Daly, Applause and Billy D. The Montana
mare had a good two lengths' lead round the htm, but when
fairly in the straight Applause chalk nged her on one side and
Kildare on the other, and after a short straggle Kildare drew
away and won easily by two lengths. Applause, who was
eased in the last few strides, lost the place by half a length,
Tom Daly coming with a rush, Minnie B, Bessie Shannon,
Billy D and Johnny Gray were distanced. Time 1 :14.

Second Heat. Kildare sold favorite in the pools at $25i
Tom Daly ©24 and $30 for the field. In the books Kildare
was at 8 to 5, Tom Daly 4 to 1, Irla Glenn and Longshot 5 to

1, Applause 10 to 1, and Nabeau 20 to 1.

Very little time was waBted at the post and when the flag
fell Oro jumped off in front and opened up a gap of four
lengths on Longshot and Ida Glenn. Loogshot was ridden
hard, and slowly but surely overhauled Oro, and passing
him in the Btretch won cleverly by a length, Oro second, Ida
Glenn third and Kildare fourth, barely saving his distance
Nabeau, Tom Daly and Applause distanced. Time, 1:14.

There was a good deal of grumbling about the otart and
several complaints were made, Applause, Tom Daly and Na-
beau, although in line when the flag fell, were not moving-
Mr. Mulkey who was given permission to hold his horse's
head at the post Baid he did not blame, the starter, the horses
were all together when the flag fell, but he held his head aB
he did not think it would be a start, the riders of Applause
and Nabeau said they were watching Mr. Mulkey and did not
get off on that account.

There was little or no betting on the deciding heat. Long-
shot had no price and Kildare was 4-5. Longshot led from
s'art to finish and won cleverly. Time, 3:16J,

The winuer was not sold.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Moor and Flaxtail Families.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I see again an article
in your paper from Dr. M. W. Hicks comparing the Flaxtail
family with The Moor family. Perhaps this may be a compli-
ment; the Doctor may consider The Moor family as a Bhining
mark (I so take it), yet comparisons are Baid to be odious.
"When made they should tell all the truth. This may not
have been in the reach of the Doctor, and I will give a few
facts which have been omitted.

Flaxtail wb.b sired J 854.

The Moor waB sired 1867.

Flaxtail lived in stud service to good old age.

The Moor died when nine years old, and only had 51 foals
all told. Say that half of these were mareB, then The Moor
got one broodmare out of every five mares produced that got
a 2:30 performer, which perhaps is an average never attained
by any other h«ree.

As regards the extreme speed attained by some of the Fiax-
tails, it would be fair to state that it has been at the pace,
whereas The Moors have all been at the trot. There are
other facts that conld be stated now in favor of either horse
or family to their advantage which hive transpired since Dr.
Hick's article was written, and this will continue as long as
trotting horses are bred, for both families may be claimed to
be remarkable in transmitting speed and of breeding on.

Dr. Hicks is very kind in his high opinion of myself, and I
can a -sure him that I reciprocate; his long illness is not
only a misfortune to himself, but to the brteding interests of
California, for when well be was full of energy and work, and
all his feelings of loye went out for his pets, and ihe
Flaxtails did not have many drawbacks in the way of a lack
of training. Hoping, however, tbat his letter may be an
indication of his recovery, I am,

Yours sincerely,

Los Angeles, Nov. 16, '89. L. J. Kose,

BASE BALL.

Probabilities of a Six-Team League next Sea-
son-

The indications at present are that the California League
will be increased to six clubs next se sson. Last week Hen-
ry Harris, of the Stockton Club, vi&ited San Jose and suc-
ceeded in effecting an organization of irominent business
men who will pl^ce a strong team in ihe tield next stason,
of which Mr. {Harris will have the management* The
same gentleman went to Fresno this week for the purpose
of organizing a Club in that city, and he will no doubt be
successful in his mission, for theresideLtB of that place are
exceedingly anxious to be represented in the League. For
a while it looked as though Stockton would throw up her
charter and drop out of the base ball arena, but the S ough
City papers have taken up the cudgel in defense of the great
sport, and it is more than probable that Stockton wi 1 nave
a team of peonant winners in the field again next ytar.

Sacramento is in the ring to slay and Tom Gleason prom-
ises if he can purchase the franchise to secure a team that
will compare favorably with any in the country. Finn and
Kobinson are already casting about for players for next year
and if the Eastern clubs do not gobble up all of our best
players, Californians may look forward to a great base-ball
boom next season.

The California League season clises to-morrow, and for
the first time Oakland gets uway with the championship.
Colonel Robinson is to be congratulated npnn the snccess
which has crowned his eff>rtB to secure a winning team;
but be also merilB severe condemnation in placing a vulgar
hoodlum over his aggregaiion of gentlemanly ball players.
O'Neill is neither a ball-player or a gentleman; on the con-
trary he is a disgiace to the diamond, and it is an insult to
the patrons of the gims to continue him on the diamond,
yet Robinson has already signtd him to captain the Oakland
t am for next season.

The old enmity between Finn and Robinson has broken
out in a new form. The San Francisco manager has an-
nounced his intention of compelling the Oakhmd clob to
secure grounds in its own city and have its home games
scheduled there the same as any other club, or elbe surren-
der its charter. FiDn rightly claims that under the present
arrangement, San Francisco is compelled to support two
clubs, and he is tirei of dividing the profits of the Haight
Street groundB with a club owDed in another city.

Fred Carroll Bays that if he can secure his release from
Pittsburg, be will remaiu in Sacrameuto and take charge of
that clab. Fred don't mean it, but he hj.s to make a bluff
of snme kind every 3 ear, and that is as good as any be can
oonjureup.

Several more of the old time California players will be
shelved with the close of this season. Perrier has probably
participated in hiB last championship contest, and Hanley
will likewise have to make room for younger blood. Shea
will either have to give up hiB trade or the diamond, and it
is likely he will abandon the latter. One or two others will
also probably step down aod out.

Hardie, Coughlan and Smalley will not be seen in an Oak-
land uniform next season. The two former will never a-
gain play in the Bame teom with O'Neill, while the third
baseman is anxious to spend a season in the E ist. His am-
bition can easily be gratified, for there are several large
clubs that would like to secure him. Hardie will also go
EaBt, probably to Chicago, while Coughlan will most likely
pitch for San Francisco nest year.

Jerry Hurley would like to rem iin on the coast if he can
get as much salary as he does in Milwaukee. There will not
be any trouble aboat that if Harris lakes the San Jose club.

There will be a bard struggle among the League managers
to secure Tom Power for nest season. He would be a wel-
come acquisition lo any team in the. country.

The Brotherhood is already beginning to show signs of
decay. Jerry Denny, Jack Glasscock and Mark Baldwin
have withdrawn and their example will shortly be followed
by many others, until there will not be enough members left
to form a single club The boys ate \sise not to be made
tools of by Johnny Ward and his colleagues. The New York
shortstop will find himself without any followers Dext year,
1 and unable to get back into the National or any other league
by reason of the black-list. This is as it should be. If Ward
had been retired from the game three years ago, both players
aod stock holders would be better off to-day

Many prominent Eastern players will be seen in California
nest year. Already the managers are besieged with applica-
tions for positions iu the various teams. Let us have good
ball, no matter were the players hail from.

Of the five George Kinney yonog^ters that have appeared
on the tnrf, fonr are winners and two of them stake winners.

E S. Perkins of the Holton House. Portland, the owner
of Gnido has been in the city for the past few days, to look
after the interests of his colt.

The net profits of the recent Lesington Breeders' Meeting
was a little less than 350,000. About $10,000 was paid in
stakes, purses and premiums.

Frank H. Borke anticipates that he will have a number
of Eros colts to put in the list next year. Good enough, the
more the merrier.

If the weather holds good racing will be resumed at the Bay
Distriot track to-day. The proverbial luck of the Blood
Association still hangs to them.

The great English Eclipse died at the aae of 25 and s;red
three hundred and twenty four turf winners. He was a
"roarer" and his heart weighed fourteen pounds.

Born, on the 6th, to the wife of R. Bruce James of Gilroy,

D. S. Wall-ice. with $51,000, is the only other winner of
more than $50.000.

Abi. Col. Thornton's 1 'ne tailed rnnner, is by Red Boy out
of Abi'a daughter by Norfal', out of Abi by Woodburn, ont

of Geraldine's dam, Cousin Peggy.

J. L. McCord of Sunny Knoll Ranch, Sacramento, was in
the city last Wednesday, and judging from the flattering
accounts we have received from elsewhere he in no way ex-
aggerated the description of Tom Benton's colts.

W. H. E Smith, of Humboldt County, and owner of Susie
S., purchased Al Farrow last Tuesday. The price was not
stated, but it is known to be in the neighborhood of f 5.000.
Now the old proposition comes up. does be get reinstated or
not?

B. C. Holly of Vallejo. has sold to H. S. Hogoboom of
Rhonerville, Humboldt County, the bav colt Headlight, one
year old, by Alcazar, dam Young Signal by Arthurton. Also,
bay colt, one y ar old, by Woodnut, dam (s. t. b.) by Gladi-
ator. .

Some miserable wretch at the Chicago Horse Show, cut a
long piece of Justina's handsome tail. She is the property of
C. J. Hamlin, of Buffalo and in companv with Belle Hamlin
has gone a mile in 2:18. A reward of $500 is offfred for the
capture of the vandal.

The racing meeting advertised to take place at Gilroy,
commencing the 18th inst'., has been indefinitely postponed,
the rain having left the track in a bad condition. The dis-
appointment is great as the entries were numerous and a
good time had been anticipated.

The following shipment of American trotters has recent-
ly been made to Germany: Blanchard, 2:25}, by Daniel Lam-
bert; William C, 2:23?, by Young WilRes; Morning Stai, no
record; Dandy, no record; Busbey, 2:29}; Scott Newman,
2:27t, and Jersey Thorne.

By Holly not Fatisfied with oo. ning one Echo mare (world-
renowned) is reported to have intimated to J ihn Mackey. the
Raneho Del Paso superintendent, that he would like five or
ail Echo mares. John is said to have replied that he ought
to have plenty of that breed already.

J. C. Pickering, one of the best known old-time racing
men in Yorkshire. Eng., died at Gainsborough on October
15th. of heart disease. The above clipping has appeared in
almost every sporting weekly in America. I suppose it
should be Joe Pickersgill.

Ben P. Hill, of Sao Diego County, will take his stable of
race horses East next year if he does not sell them. Already
several offers have been made fortbem, bntthe price does not
suit. Ben has several useful animals and should do well on
the Eastern tracks with them.

The New York Sporting World wonld imply that the rac-
ing public who frequent Cliffon are very well versed in rules
in heat races, for it says: After Young Dnke had won two
heats at Clifton, many people looked for the tail enderB to
contest alone for place honors.

Tom Smith, of Vallejo has a grand voung colt in his three
year old colt. George Washineton, 2:20, whose sire is Mam-
biino Chief Jr. The sire is a fine looker and cornea from the
very best of trotting lines, he is short of work or another 2:30
horse would have been recorded last Saturday at Napa.

Dr. C. W. Aby superintendent of the Guenoc Stock Farm
is in San Franciso and may stop over to see at least one
day's raoing. He reports the stallions in good condition and
also says that their books are fast filling for 1890.

Mr. C. E Needham feels a little disappointed that he did not
gat a chance to l>wer the record of Steve Whipple, 2:23.
Epozootic was the cause of him being thrown out of training.
Bar accident this grand horse should get about a "16" mark
next year. Only a few months ago he showeda milein2:17i-

Messrs Killip and Co. have disposed of the Clydesdale stal-
lion "Boss" and Clydesdale mare "Medamo" recently im-
ported by Mr. John Westrail from Australia to Mr. D. J.
Murphy of San Jose at a high figure. Mr. Murphy also pur-
chased from Mr. Wes'rail three Clyde mares of his last
Spring importation.

W. J. Gordon, of Cleveland, Ohio, is using for road pur.
poses what is perhaps the most wonderful team ever driven.
Guy, 2:10J. and Clingstone, 2:14, compose it. There is no
question that the pair, given a good day and a good track,
could easily beat the team record and even do better than
the trial mark of 2:15.V made by Aldine and Maud S. When
Mr. Vanderbilt drove Mand S. and Aldine, the latter could
not go alone faster than 2:19, yet Maud carried her along.
Good judges say that Guy and Clingstone could make 2:14
when on edge.

When Snnol made her wonderful record of 2:18 as a two
year old Mr. Nathan Coombs of Napa was one of the judges
in the stand. When she made 2:10} as a three year old at the
Bay District track his brother, Hon. Frank L. Coombs, was
one of the judges, and he feels highly pleased to think that he
can claim that honor.

Mr. Alf E^tell has taken a very happy way of expressing
his appreciation of the favors and courtesy shown the Cal-
ifornia Stable during their sojourn at the new Westchester
track. One day last week he presented Mrs Ward, wife
of Capt. Percy Ward, Superintendent, with a yearling filly
by Norfolk, and it is needless to Eay that the gift was highly
appreciated.

Talking of cripples, what a glorious old fellow the aged
Marsh Redon is. For years it has been his wont to pull up
dead lame after every race, and yet he jumped out the other
day at Clifton and galloped his first half mile in :49. When
one "glances down the vistus of the past," as the college
commencement orator so loves to say, and sees how very
much younger he was when Marsh Redon's handsome colt
first flashed across his optical retina, he can scarcely believe
that he is still with us io the flesh. As the Juliette colt, he
was the contemporary of Barrett, Gildelia and Girofle. The
majority of our race-goers scarcely remember that the three
last named horses ever lived.

Jookey Hennessey has got into trouble, and was taken to
Salinas from this city on Wednesday. The story is told that
he abdncted a girl from her home, but those who claim to
know the truth of the matter say, that he is not to blame
and that he will most surely be acquitted when a hearing
is had.

Chas. Scott, of Napa has mirohased from S. C. Davidson,
of Witchita, Kansas, the stallion Wilkes Pasha. Mr. Scott
had leased the horse for two years, but rather than loose his
service he finally brought him outright. Wilkes Pasha 2618
is by Onward 1411, (son of George Wilkes.) dam Fisher by
American Clay 34. The price paid is reported to be $1,500.

The Eastern breeders all have their eyes turned toward the
noted sta'lions of the Pacific Coast, and every ^eek mares are
arriving to be bred to some of the favorites. Jerome I. Case
has sent out two to the S^ Mateo Stock Farm where tbey will
be stinted to Guy Wilkes. The first is Alco by Princeps 536
dam Altbea by Alrnont 33. 2nd dam Lady by Bourbon Chief
383. The second one is Leontine 2:24}, (trial 2:17) by Ham-
let 160, dam by Clark Chief 89; 2nd dam by Highlander.

I wonder if the editor will run the blue pencil through Ibis.
Robert Bonner says in his open letter that he has read "a
not over courteous article," in the Beeedee and Spoetsmax.
Indeed! was he very courteous to Mr. Corbett when he sin-
gled out Sable Wilkes as a colt lhat did not train on, why did
he not take an example nearer borne. When he made the
remark, he little thought that his interests wonld carry him to
California within a few weeks, or he never would have made
it. Mr, Bonner is at present the guest of the horsemen of
the State, and to them I bow, but when he leaves, his own
letter shall be the text for a sermon that will reach him in due
time, and every other line shall be a subhead.

An effort is being made to render the steeplechases at Nice
more interesting than they have been of late years, and to
attract English horses by an addition to tbe value of the
prizes. The meeting has been fixed for the 13tb, 16th, 19:h
and 21st of January, and while the three or four biggest
races are to be worth from £1,200 to £S00 each, none of thu
prizes will be of less value than £ 160. This is a Btep in the
right direction, and will, perhaps, have tbe effect of attract-
ing a better class both of horse and of owner. If tbe au-
thorities will keep the hands of the Nice police off the
English bookmakers, and prevent them fingering money
which does not belong to them, the meeting will have a bet-
ter chance still.

Ati exchange says bai-bed wire make a good fence for a hog
yard. It does not need to be huh, but must be close. Swine
soon learn to respect it. Probably it is correct bnt that is no
reason for barbed wire beiug used to enclose paddocks for
thoroughbred youngsters as is done on many farms in the
State.

The Friendly Stakes to be run over the courses of the
Washington Park Club. Chicago, and the Coney Island Jock-
ey Clnb at Sheepshead Bay w-xt year is thought very favor-
able of by many Californian breeder* and there will be a good
many entries from this State. Tbe only liability for non
starters is $25.

Ambassador, the premier stallion at the Kalamazoo Stock
Farm, oarried off tbe b'rst premium io the trotting stallion
class at the recent Chicago Horse Show. He defeated the
noted horse Mambrino King, who was never before beaten in
a show ring, and sucb celebrated horses as Jeroma Turner,
King Reno, Anteeo and Star Harabletonian, "

And still the entrips r.ill in for the Breeder and Sportsman
Futurity Stakes ($3,000 guaranteed) with a regularity that
promises to make it the largest stake ever trotted for in Cali-
fornia Those who miss making an entry will make a great
mistake. Before two ypars pass every entry in the stake
will be worth an enhanced value, owing to being in it. Those
who have not received entry blanks Bhould send for them
and make entries at once. Ten dollars each is all that is
necessary to nominate, and if the mare has no foal the
money will be returned.

Samuel Gamble of San Francisco. Cal., era the 9th inst.,
purchased from C. W. Storey of Cbillicothe, O , the bay
mare Morjeska. dam of Reference 2:1S, by Enfield 128, dam
Madonna by Zilcaadi Golddust No. 4400; second f'am by
Green Mountain Black Hawk; third dam Lucy Adams by
Glencoe (thoroughbred), and was immediately shipped to
Abdallah Park, Cynthiana, Ky., to join Mr. Gamble's brcod-
mares, which will soon be shipped to California by express.

John ilackey, the Raneho del Paso Superintendent, was in
the city this week. He says that in addition to the thorough-
bred yearling Bale, Mr. Haggin will have a sale of undeveloped
trotters every year, and when one considers the quantity of
regally bred trotting mares, among them a sister to Beautiful
Bells and an Electioneer stallion Albert W., 2:20, the Bale
should be as great a success as the thoroughbred auctions has
been. There are 101 thoroughbred weanlings and 107 trot-
ting weanlings at the Haggin farm.

It is a strange thing that the Eastern papers will not get items
right especially when they can rely on the Breeder ajjd
Sportsman* for information, but no. they will print statements
at haphazard, without any regard to the truth or falsity of
them. One New York pipar is especially at fault in this re-
spect. In the current issue its says that Eesal Wilkes made
his record 2:20|in a Bpecial race to beat 2:23, whereas, he
made the record in a walkover for the two-year-old, Breeders
Association Stake. Give Regal Wilkes all the credit that is
due him gentlemen.

I had a call a day or two ago from Wm. Babb, of Oregon
who is known to every horseman west of the Rockies. Bill
had a complaint to make, he says that the Breeder and
Sportsman had done him an injustice in copying an arti-
cle, relating to himself from the Splem Democrat, which was
totally false. He had no connection with Beard in the bet-
ting or in the law suit which was brought against Petersen,
the owner of Jubilee by Mr. Beard. We supposed the ar-
ticle was correct as the Democrat rarely get the wrong end
of the story. I am pleased that Mr. Babb is innocent.

It will be of interest to many of our readers to learn that
Ormonde arrived safely at Buenos Ayres yepterday week. As
mentioned before in this colamn, his racing career has end-
ed, and he will now be used solely for stud purposes, and
will stand at tbe ranche of Don Jnan Bocau. That gentle-
man, we may mention, has purchased a number of highly-
bred mare*, all of which will be put to Ormonde. Amongst
them are Floripar, Victorine, Philosophy, Oberhof, Queen
of the South and Lady Bouotifal.

Tbe Pacific Coast Board of Review of tbe American Trot-
ting Association held a meeting at the Breeder and Sports-
man office on Wednesday to listen to the ease of Zane & Mar-
tin vs. S. C. A. P. Association. Loeber <fc Heald are tbe own-
ers of the mare Directa, and it was claimed by the plaintiffs
that the payments for the mare in the three year old trotting
stake held at Stnta Rosa had been made in an irregular man-
ner. After a hearing of the case the Board, which consisted
of M. F. Tarpey and Col. H. I. Thornton, decided that the
payments had been made in accordance with the conditions
and that the owners of the mare were justly entitled to the
first money, which she won.

One of the greatest evils connected with the tnrf during the
last few years has been the question of collecting forfeits. It
has been the cause of innumerable scandals, and turf legisla-
tors have studied night and day for some solution of it, but
always without result. Tuesday night, November 5th, how-
ever, a move in the right direction was made, and it will
receive the hf-arty commendation of every honest racing man
in the country. Representatives of the five leading Eastern
jock*-y clubs met in the rooms of the Coney Island Jockey
Club, and, after a lit le discussion, elected Capt. J. H. Coster
forfeit clerk, and hereafter when an owner has a forfeit due
him from either one of them, all he will have to do is to
apply to Clerk Coster. The custom in force in Eog'and is
rather better. Have aa "Unpaid forfeit list" which locludes
all due and unpaid entrances, stakes, fines and forfeits, and
when once a horse and owner are in the list, neither the
owner or the horse can start again until it is paid.

The death of the famous trotting stallion Belmont is
announced. He was bred and died at Woodburn. He was
a bay horse, foaled in 1864 by Abdallah, dam Belle, by
Mambrino Ohief. Wallace's "Year Book" for 1889 reports
that Belmont was the sire of nineteen trotters and two pacers
iu the "thirty" list, of which Nutwood has a record of 2:18$,
Wedgewood a record of 2:19, and Viking a record of 2:19i,
while sevente n of Belmont's sons were the sires of fifty
trotters, and eleven of his daughters were the dams of eleven
trotters and two pacers in the "thirty" list.

The death of the famous thoroughbred stallion Whisper is
also reported. He was bred by the late Hunt Reynolds and
died the property of L. P. Tarlton, who married the widow
Reynolds. Whisper was foaled in 1S70 and was by Planet,
out of Mattie Gross, she by Lexington. He ran a good many
races, but having to contend against Tom Bowling, Spring-
bok, Count d'Orsay, Fellowcraft. Strachino and Waverly for
the three-year-old stakes in 1873, he was not very successful.
Whisper in his four-year-old form met Tom Bowling for the
Cups, and he came so near beating Tom for the Monmouth
Cup that Bobby Swim had to ride almost for bis life. Asa
sire, Whisper has been fuirly successful; his "get," however,
proved better stayers than Fprinters.

Mr. Theodore Winters has had suoh remarkable snecess
in the East with his small stable this year, that he will branch
out considerably for the season of 1S90. The present year-
lings will be shipped early in the spring to jjin the horses
now at Westchester. The full brother to El Rio Rey is a
beauty and those who have had the pleasure of seeiog him
move, speak of him with unqualified praise. He was tried
a quarter, a short time ago with 128 pounds on his back, and
he beat his stable companion San Juan by a head in the re-
markable fast time of 23$ seconds. San Juan carried 115
pounds. The youngsters that will go East may in all prob-
ability be found in the following:

I have just read a letter written by Mrs. C. R. Noyes, of

INDIANA KENNEL CLUB.

Third Annual Field Trial.

The Indiana Kennel Clob's third meeting ms ran off at
Biclmell, Ind., beginning on November 1st., with the mem-
bers' slake. . . , n. n

The meeting as a whole was not satisfactory, the weather
being unoropitioos, the grounds unfavorable, and the man-
agement of the spectators injudicious. The lands used were
olosely cultivated, and the waste grass ground so favorsd by
quails was scarce. The cover was high and green, wholly
nnsnited to keen and close work, and rabbits were numer-
ous, inducing doubt as to -vhether the dogs were on fur or

The Members" Stake was judged by Mesars. P. T. Madison
and Andy J. Gleason. „■«»»*■

The other stakes were judged by Messrs. P. a. Madison,
Koval Robinson, J. B. Stoddard and J. R. Freeman. On
November 4th Mr. Stoddard judged, but after that day his
place was taken by Mr. Freeman because the former had
eome dogs to run in the trials.

Two new trainers made their debut, Mr. Frank Richards
of Stewart, Minn., and Mr. G. R. Howse of Trenton, Tenn.

A detailed account of all the heats in all the Btakes will
not particularly interest our readers, and we therefore pre-
sent so mnoh comment as is pertinent, together with sum-
maries, to complete the record.

MEMBERS STARE.

Three entries appeared. The work was indifferent, the
dogs not being nervy and quick.

SETTER DERBY.

Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 4th and 5th, were warm, and
birds plenty, but'grounds were so patohy and moves from one
tract to another so frequent as to vitiate the work and handi-
cap the dogs.

The first series were trial heats, the dogs to Bcore 60 per
cent to entitle them to compete in the remainder of the stake.

POINTER DERBY.

There were but six starters. The work done was very
indifferent in merit. The stake was begun immediately after
the Setter Derby was finished. Mr. P. T. Madison was ill
daring the afternoon, and retired soon after lunch for the
remainder of the day.

The first Bcries resulted in the retiring of Electric and
Fancy Free, thus leaving four dot>a which had scored the
necessary sixty per oent. or more. As they were running to
determine whether their capabilities were sufficient to make
them eligible to compete, and as there was no competition in
the first series, a detailed report of it is not of any Rpecial
vulue, particularly as the general grade was poor. Eleotric
seemed to have sufficient merit to remain in, taking the per-
formances of the others into consideration; for none of them
were brilliant, and the Pointer Derby was mnoh infeiior to
that of setters.

ALL AGE SETTER STAKE.

One heat of the state was run on November 7tb, when
rain began and rnnniDg was suspended for the day. On
Friday the weather was cloudy and threatening, but no rain
fell during the day, excepting a light drizzle toward night.
Mr. Madison was in better health and resumed his portion
as judge. A moderately strong wind blew from the south.
The grounds were wet and heavy. The cold, rainy weather
had affected the habits of the birds, they being wilder, in
many iustanoeB running from the dog's points, and also when
the dogs were roading. Saturday was rainy nntil noon,
when a start was made. The cover was wet and heavy and
the birds acted badly, running and being wild.

THE GUN.

Twenty Years Ago.

November 15. 1S69, Joe M. Bassford Jr. and A, Perkins,
two young men went gunning out near the Springs. Joe
BasBford oid'nt know so much about a gun as he does now,
and accordingly was dragging his along the ground by the
muzzle, when it was discharged. The shot ranged from his
wrist to his Bhonlder lacerating the flesh badly. Some of
the shot struck Perkins in the leg. Drs. Brown and Fris-
bie attended the wounded men.

[That same Joe Bassford is about thirty five years young"
ei then he was twenty years ago, in everything relating to
sport. Wherever big trout hide, or quails whistle, or bucks
snort, either Joe, or some other one of the ten or eleven
Bport-loving Bassfords is likely to be there ready for the
cream of the tun. — Ed ]

No physician has yet betaken himself to the classifying of
mental diseases in the language of e^ery day. In their un-
fortunate absence, it may be presumed after a laymanlike
way, that the zeal which led tbe Pilgrims to ascend unto
such high places, waB a sort of mental fever. Whiie under
its influence they tugged and toiled and sweated maofuHy,
reaching their goal, and there goaded by a mental enthusi-
asm far and away beyond the ordinary humau level, they
experienced moments of rapture rarely given. There* they
were, mountain high, miles away from their kin and kind
loftily elevated indeed. But; there is always a hush that
follows the prayer: next after fever, whether toward worse
convalescence or chill, is a grim state. So with the PilgrimB.
They were very much on top, but night was at band, and
exaltation is like fireworks, in that it fla-bes and quits. To
get a long ways down hill to where something substantially
satisfying could be had; a something which sign painters
generally designate as ''food and lodging," was a gruesome
n^ed stepping right npon the heels of 6ky scraping. They
did it, but utterly devoid of mental fever to be sure, unlil
within the potent sway, of the savory emell of smoking vi-
ands. The next day there was little show of convalescence
unless universal grampiness might be construed as a prom-
ising sign.

All however, recovered and investigated the shaking sod,
where by jumping up and down, the turf for many feet
around, vibrates somethmg like span on a bridge under sim-
ilar trial. This leads to the belief that this meadow, in parts
at le st, is not founded upon a rock, or upon sand, not upon
anything firmer than water or qnioksilver, with the odds all
in favor of water.

The EnthnBiast wanted some grasshoppers hereabouts,
and none to be bad, but hiB trained ear heard a buzzing not
exactly in the oider of sounds natural. He followed up his
•ar — which is ordinarily pretty hard to do — and discovered
that grasshoppers in this region can be caught galore. The
ground dries and cracks in places, jost as anywhere little fis-
Bures form in helter skelter direction when mud dries. Dri-
ven by instinct, or quite likely by cold, these hoppergrasBea
crawl into these cracks, and by turning the clods over c*n be
caught by scores in the early morning when too chilly to ex-
ercise their provided means of self defence and jnnap nut of
reach. In this connection it is said, that a pra-erninent mem-
ber of the Pilgrim band, confidentially relates a history —
which somehow cannot be casght for paper — of how a large
man hunted a small grasshopper all over an immense country
for a tremendous length of time, and didn't eeeni to catch
anything except the fidgets.

Throughout thiB region the quaking asp oan be found, a-
long the flats and nearing the hillsides. By sheep men it ia
found, to be hailed with pleasure, aDd felled with one stroke
of a sharp axe, that the wandering herd may browse upon
its leaves. To burn, slash and destroy is the sheep man's
delight. The title to the Monaohe Meadows seems to come
somewhere in the line of an uncompleted chain of evidence.
It has grown to be a valuable possession, commanding a
subBtantial annual rental, and its fair fields lie undisturbed "
under the summer's sun and the winter's ermine, but the
question of who shall become the residuary legatee of this
choice bit of Nature has been in the Courts for years.

The ascent of Olanche peak 12.7U0 feet above the level of
the sea, in the very heart of the Sierra Nevadas, guarded by
the rugged escarpments which mountain chains always throw
out against the easy access of men, is in no wise a Blight a-
chievement. Camp Grant 8,400 feet elevation wa« left at 9
a.m. Tho horees did their duty up to noon and 11,375
feet high. Then the spirit of those who were bonDd to get
there, made the bodies trudge, passing timber line at 11,500
feet and reaching the very topmost summit at 1:30. And
then coming down to Camp Grant again, with moBt thank-
ful sensations at 5:30 p. m.

The day following, bodily rest being urgent and the mind
weak, fish stories were in demand and all unsatisfactory, ae
cot takiDg sufficient license, until the oamp waa pleasantly
surprise by the advent of a known before in comer. By
strong urging he yielded and said, "Gentlemen and friends,
I will tell you a true fish story. I had a horse, which was al-
most more than a brother, and what he didn't know abont a
good many things, I couldn't tell yon, you know. And we
went out riding, oue day, and we came to a chasm something
like a hundred feet wide you know, and I didu't know how
we were going to make it. I knew yon know, that my horse
was pretty good on the jump, but I didn't know you know,
if that wasn'j too mnch for bim. So I talked to him,- pretty
much confidentially you know, bud walked out to the edge
of that big crack, and he shook his head you know. Well,
we considered the thing awhile and he didn't seem quite sure

you know, bat finally, I had bo much confidence in him that
1 thought he could make it anyhow you know, and so we
walked back about fifty yards and then came for it. The
noble old horse was getting right down to his beat you know.
His ears were pointed Btraight ahead, his neck outstretched
and I could feel him under me you know, in his Bteeiy
Btrength like a mighty giant. We reached the very edge you
know, and with a grand uprear, he shot out to make the
mighty leap you know. He saw he couldn't do it, quicker
lhan I did you know, and so he turned right square around
and we landed back on the same Bide you know. That is
why I am here, where I had no thought of being you know,
but I really believe that if I had given him about a hundred
yards for a running start you know, and the old hole hadn't
been more than five or six feet across, we would have jumped
it anyhow you know."

How an Emperor Goes Shooting.

{.Disratch to the London Daily Telegraph.]
The Emperor's hunting party in Styria is now favored by
splendid weather. The royal hunters went out singly the
other day, and Friuce Leopold of Bavaria made the largest
bag. Yesterday morning the entire party, after having gone
out to hunt early, returned f ^r mass at 9:30, it being the Em-
peror's fete day. The life led in the little hunting bos iB of
the simplest, a game of cards being the greatest gayeiy ever
indulged in after the day's laborious and fatiguing sport.
At 9 the imperial huntsman and his guests retire to rest.
The honse contains a large number of rare works of ait,
the finest being a collection of carvings in wood The en-
trance hall is dtcorated witha wealth of trophies of the hunt,
and beneath everv pair of stag's horns is the name of the
huntsman who killed the animal and the date. On the Em-
peror's writing table is a portrait of the Crown Prine Ru-
dolph at the age c.i ten. The room used by the Crown
Prince whenever he went to Muerzs'eg remains unoccupied
and in exac ly the state he left it in a year ago. The sta-
bles belonging to the hunting bos hold a large number of
horses, and the party always drives in carriages to the wild
district where the chamois are to be found. While it was
not possiM" ft>r the late Crown Prince of Austria and the
Prince of Wales to kill a single bear this time last year, a
great number of bsara have recently showed themselves iu
the Carpathians. At one place some bears were discovered
in a field of oats, and a mother with two young cubs killed.
Id another place a bpar which had been wounded attacked
the huntsman aud tore bis flesh off.

Lassoed a Deer-

While in the vicinity of Lake Taboe, a week or so ago, in
charge of R. C. Swift's horBe, Charles Dickerman captured a
two year old back in an unusual manner. He was liding on
horseback, when he heard the deer coming through the
brush, Getting his lariet ready he waited until the animal
came into the open ground, when he swung the noose with
such dexterity as to catch the buck by the horn. With the
assistance of two or three of his companions, Mr. Dickerman
got the oeer into camp, and afterwards it was tied alongside
of a pack horse and driven with thta band of horses all the
way down to Mr Sw ft's ranch on Dry Creek, where it was
kept for a few days. Saturdy evening the young buck was
brought into town and Jed n p and down Main street, exciting
considerable couriousiy. It was given to Mich Hammer,
who took much pride in its possession for a few days, but he
is now disconsolate, for the deer was found dead in the yard
where it was kept, Thursday forenoon, having bung itself
with the rope with which it was tied, — Jone Valley Echo.

A Cruise of the "Marshall."

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — A few weeks ago an
invitation was sent to the writer to join Mr. Austin B. Sporty
and Mr. J. H. Budd, of Stockton, on the trial trip of a new
shooting boat just completed for them. The invitation was
peculiar, in that it outlined a round of sport covering every-
thing from free sailing to honker shooting. A Friday after-
noon was set as the time for leaving Stockton, and at the
appointed hour this scribe sauntered along the levee, won-
dering what extraordinary occasion could necessitate the
striDg ot delivery wagonB which Btreamed to a point a few
hundred yards from the steamer landing. Bntcber carts,
grocers carts, carts that carried wicker packages, daimy phae-
tons freighted with fair faces, all stopped by the slough side
where was anchored a cnrio in the way of boats.

The builder and p*rt owner, Mr. Oscar Marshall, was
aboard stowing away luggage and making everything ship-
shape. A'oog toward 3 o'clock a naptha launch was hailed
and'engaged to tow the sailboat a few miles down the bloogh
to a point where sailing room conld befonnd. When the
launch had fastened to the catamaran, everything was cast
loose, and as way was gained, a bottle of beer was smashed
over the bowsprit of the "Cat," and the boat christened the
"Marshall."

The hours of towing were spent in a study of the craft.
Three hulls about thirty feet loug, and braced firmly together
by iron rods and heavy timbers did the floating. The onter
hulls were copied from the ordinary Chinese junk. The
middle hull was simply a narrow bos in which the mast and
rudder were stepped, the hull aciiDg like a keel. Over the
hulls a roomy deck was built, and a commodious cabin with
five nice bunks, clipboards, place for stove, etc. Ample can-
vas was in place, and all had beun done by the builder to
make the catamaran the most comfurtable boat it was ever
my lot to board.

The only trouble was with the crew. There were seven of
them, all captains. C 1. Jim H. Budd, Austin B. Sperry,
Oscar Marshall, Frank E Lane. A. C. Chalmers, Chaa Rich
and this scribe were the crew. The key note of the trip was
Col. Budd's tirelessly repeated "Let me do it."

When the la 'inch was cut Ioobo and the actual sailing
began, the trouble also commenced. The rudder only had
one tiller, and the seven captains insisted on steering. Then
ooe of them intimated an intention to handle the jib sheet.
The rest immediately were fired by the s-ame desire, and the
seven hauled on the sheet while the poor old "Cat" steered
itself. If one oaptain began to sweep thw deck the others
pounced on him with Comanche yells, and made him quit.
This scribe was the cniest of the officers. He con'euted
himself with standing by and yeliine Col. Budd's slogan,
"Lot me do it "

The Catamaran under its ahle m ■■inning sailed nearly a
mile ahead during the first twelve hours, not countng the
distance made in whirling about when all the captains were
doing something beside steering. It wa actually dangerous

at times, the way the captains acted. If one of them started
into the rigging to look out, the rigging was instantly full of
captains and the way in which they conversed was peculiar.
It may have been sea talk, but it sounded like a mixture of
longshore, tish market, trading boat, duck shooting convei-
sation. Captain Lane was usually highest in the rigging,
and his notion of conversation was to order the other cap-
tains down to the tiller or the jib sheet, in terms that would
have scared every dnck out of the tule if any had been there.

The captains sailed and sailed exactly as fast as the tide
and when the tide turned so did the captains.

The Catamaran behaved beautifully, minding its own busi-
ness strictly, until it grew dark and the captains tied the boat
to the tule and began preparing supper. A new gasoline stove
of the most approved pattern was after strenuous effort
filled with easoline and six of the captains stood by.

Chalmers applied a match to one of the burners. The
stove was soon burning morrily, and the captains each
washed a potato, really the only thing any one of them could
do unassisted.

Chalmers soon had a course of rich beefsteak, baked pota-
toes, golden toast and coffee rivalling that of New Orleans,
ready.

After the captains were gorged they went to bed like peli-
cans and made noises like honkers all night. Before retiring,
catfish lines were set, and in the morning several fine fish
were pulled iu, averaging three or four pounds in weight. It
may be said, in parenthesis, that the lives of the captains
were saved by catfish. When the beef was finished aud the
wet groceries exhausted, the catfish was still there.

On Saturday morning, the floods cime, but the just cap-
tains feared nothing. They hoisted sail and ran before a fair
wiud fur a mile or so until the mouth of Middle
River was reached. There an adverse current and a
headwind made progress impossible except by setting
a few captains out in duck boats and letting tbeni rustle hd
ashen breeze. The oaptains did not know anything about
rowing, and none of them had ever been on water more than
two or three feet deep before, so thelongsuffering old Catama-
ran was hitched to the tule and the captains went cat fishing. It
rained all the time, and not one of the cai-tainsknew whether
be would ever see home and friends again; but somehow be-
tween Austin Sperry'a oardonic cuelty Colonel Budd's bril-
liant defiance of the elements, Frank Lane's artistic charac-
terization of hard lock and judicious admixture of various
cordials, the day was one of the happiest ever passed. None
of the captains had more than half a suit of clothes, and
most of toe mariners were in bed a great part of the time
while garments dried. No sooner dry than a trip aloft or to
one of the cacfish lines would bring a captain in soaking.

The beef gave out on Saturday, but the hydro-carbons
were in gooa store, and the catfish. The day following Sat-
urday was g ven up to meditation and hunger, progress being
impossible tecause of contrary winds. The fierce aggressive-
n ss of the captains lessened as toe prospect of indefinite
fried cattishes became more pronounced. A captain would
now and then shoot a hell-diver, to appropriate verbal ac-
companiment, but no real act of heroism aroused remark un-
til late in the afternoon, when one of the captains steadied
himself by the shrouds and after a prolouged observation dis-
covered that the tul-* was sailing away from the Catamaran.
His announcement of the fact drew down npon him the six oth-
er captains who did some independent observing and voted the
discoverer nothing better than a land lubber — the boat had
gone adrift and ''the dead stt-ered by the paralyzed" had been
going up with the tide for nobody knows how long. Matured
deliberation convinced the c iptaios that, as the boat had run
itself all right it might as well be let alone, and the captains
returned to a t-tuiy of the miscibility of water, sugar aud
other things. They studied long and then hitched tbe faith-
ful old Citamaran to something and had supper. Monday
was indeed a trviug day. The cruise had already lasted long
enough to convince each of tbe captains that all the others
knew notbiog at all about navigation, and every suggestion
or request for assistance elicited a yowl like a bunoh of coons
on a tule float at dusk. The sailing was strictly a one man
affair.

Whenever one captain grasped the tiller and pretended to
know something, the rest all quit and went into the cabin,
the result being that the course of that Catamaran was like
the way of "an eagle in the air" or "a serpent upon a rock,"
a thing that no man could know.

However, a flood tide and occasional gusts of wind car-
ried the adventurers past several willow trees and made it
seem like going along. Monday evening's Bupper was a fine
on« of the kind — a new kind. No meat, no antiseptic, no
nothing but catfish, tea aud captains. Eaten with disrelish,
digested under protest, assimilated by osmosis only, that
evening meal will linger with the captains. Even Captain
Budd usually bright as a star, paled and sought his uamp
bunk upon which wet clothing had so often been placed that
the ouce neat bad needed wringing out. Two of the captains
snarled over "good— can." The rest didn't Fay much except
"ante" and strange words like that. Cannibalism had ltst
much of its horror, and the edibility of Austin Sperry or
Frank Lane was contemplated without a qualm-
Oscar Marshall was too fishy aud Charley Rich was too
tongh, but a Sperry ragout or a Line pate actually seemed
iuviting if dressed as Chalmers would gladly have fixed the
dishes. Of course morning came after a while and with it a
glimpse of the sun, the first of the trip. Comparative cheeri-
ness ruled and the captains being but a few miles from camp,
filed out on the mud after tying a tow line high up on the
mast and dragged the obedient catamaran along like a thiug
of life, the wind whistling turough the shrouds Iika every-
thing, the other way. Nearly a naif a mile was made in some
time aud the captains tnggea away, never missing a tree with
the tow line aud speaking in tongues every time the bow
sprit pierced ihe soft banks ot Middle River.

While the captains were hustling along the shore, this
serine bad the only opportunity of the trip to demonstrate
his knowledge of sailing a boat.

He did not hippen to see the other captains go ashore, and
would not lessen their enthutiism by asking them to wait
while he got a grip on the line. So he stayed aboard and
saved the ship by letting it strictly alone.

The next day it rained but the captains finally got to the
shotting ground and anchored the lamons Catamaran in a
brush pile several miles from anywhere. No ducks, no geese,
no shooting. Just a blind heedless scramble to reach Stock-
ton, and get ba«-k to business after the enforced absence,
three days longer than expected. A tule stage, fifteen miles
of mud, with occasional hard spots by the roadside where
short stopB were made, and then routine was resumed. A
most extraordinary trip and without a parallel in the experi-
ence of this correspondent, for solid, queer, unending joy. I
am promised aoother opportunity to visit tbe Catamaran and
enjov some of the really grand duck-shooliog reserved by
the princely owners, ani members of the Catamaran Club,
after which visit some farther points may be noted.

Nov. 12 1889. Pimelodds.

Tod. Robinson.

Particulars of the saddening accident which resulted in the
death of Master Tod Kobinson. son of our beloved friend,
Crittenden Robinson, have come to hand, and to the gentle
father and tender mother the fullest sympathy is proffered in
what must seem a grief too heavy to be borne without seek-
ing that nepenthe wtiich alone can bring reunion. Tod, a
loveable, manly and bright boy of fifteen years, was fond of
the gun and the sports of the field, and on November 16th,
in company with a young friend named Feely, visited San
Bruno to shoot over the Bait marsh adjacent to that scene of
the many triumphs which have enrolled his father's name
among those of the world's experts. The lads soon separated
and Feely saw no more of Tod. As train time approached
he turned back, took the train, and on reaching home in-
formed his family of the facts. On the succeeding day a par-
ty went to San Bruno only to learn that a hunter had dis-
covered poor Tod lying face down in shallow water, dead.
Tbe return of the coroner's jury was that death was the re-
sult of natural causes. Tod had long been troubled by
epileptiform altaeks, aud it is presumed that a Beizure over-
came him while crossing a little dooI, and falling upon his
face he suffocated. The untimely taking off removed a true
little man, wise beyond his years.of high spirit.correct babilB,
persistent industry, and so loveable withal that his friends
will miss him more than words can tell.

The Martinez Item says that a Bmall herd of elk was seen
near Corning, Tehama Co. on Nov. loth. We shall be
pleased to receive from some reader at Corning, the particu-
lars: who saw the elk; how many were in the band; what
was done in relation to them; and any other facts of inter,

One of our occasional contributors, Mr. Ed. M. Greene, has
recently ventured into journalism as a proprietor. His paper,
The Jcry, published every Friday, at 126 Kearny St., city, is

There have been nearly 500 bales of deer hides shipped
from this port during the year. This means an incessant
war on the deer in this 2onnty, and some step should be
taken to put a stop to it. Railroad and steamboat lines can
be prosecnted for carrying deer hides. Perhaps Deputy
Smith will catch on.— Humtoldt Mail.

[If "Deputy Smith" does "catch on," we hope the Mail
will spur up the District Attorney, the judges and possible
jurors. Futile attempts tj enforce the law are discouraging
no end. — Ed.]

The manager of the United States Cartridge Company
has organized an exhibition team of trap shots with which
he proposes to traverse the United States. Ten men are to
be selected and shoot team matches, five men to the team.
The scheme is of course, an advertising venture in the in.
terest of the Cartridge Company, but if matches can be ar.
ranged between teams in the various cities to be visited, and
the stock teams, it may be possible to infuse enough thor-
oughbred quality to give the events the interest which al-
ways attaches to a genuine contest.

The Dimick party professes a desire to come to San Fran-
cisco, and it is proposed, that if the party does come here, a
local team be organized and shoot a match with ihe visi-
tors.

A team in which A. W. Bruner, Crittenden Robinson,
Martinez Chick, W. J. King, Austin Sperry, Major Kel-
logg, J. M. MorrisoD, C. J. Haas, C. M. Osborn, Ed.
Fay, Dr. Knowles, Frank Coykendall, Joseph Delmas,
or any others of fifty cracks might hold membership, would
have good right to make a race with the peripatetics. We
should like to bear from the Southern California men, the
Pacific Gun Club, the California Wing Shooting Club, the
Garden City meD and others of our best shots.

No better proof of the essential growth of California is
needed than the recent movement toward the establishment
of great manufacting plants in favorable localities, some o£
them many miles from the centers of population. The latest
enterprise and noise of the grandest in scope is that of the
North Pacific Land and Improvement Company, whose in-
terests lie in and about Ukiab, Mendocino Co.

The officers of the company are: President, N. W. Gris-
wold Saoratary, W. H. B. Graves; Directors — S. Mervyn
Donahue. Presidents. F & N. P. R. Co ; A. P Overton,
President Santa Rosa Savings Bank; N. W. Griswold, Pres-
ident Sonoma County Land & Imp. Co ; Wm. Center. Capi-
talist; W. H. H. Graves, Vice-President Sonoma County
Land and Imp. Co.

The office of the company is at 29 New Montgomery street,
and a pleasauter hour cannot be passed than ooe spent iu
listening to the chat of Secretary Graves or Mr. Lamott
about prospective improvements about to be initiated by the
company.

Ubiah is to be supplied with water, electric lights, electric
motors and a railway operated by an electric appliance.

Robinson Creek and S.000 acres of tributary watershed are
controlled by the company, tbe creek being perfectly suited
to fly fishing, and the land jnst right to maintain limitless
quantities of game Deer are extraordinarily plenty, and
when the company stocks the ground with copper pheasants,
ruffed grouse and bobwhites, a day passed there will be an
ideal one from the sportsmbn's standpoint. The officers of
the company are sportsmen in the best sense aud are all men
of position, influence and wealth. The tract reserved will
benefit the whole of the neighboring territory, because it will
be etriotly preserved and the protected game it becomes too
thick will naturally over run and stock the adjacent
properties.

No grander opportunity has ever been offered for the es-
tablishment of a good sportsmau's Clob. The land is readily
accessiblp. A graud bot<-l is to be erected; telegraphic aua
telephonic communication will be had within thirty da:- «.
and jet the pUca is as wild and picturesque as thonj'
in the heart of the Sierras- Mr. Lamott is abont plar.
lot of New Hampshire trout in Robinson Creek, an1
charge of the sportsmanly affair of the company.

A Welcome to Robert Bonner.

Robert Bonner is on his way to California. He will
receive warm and hearty greeting in California. This is
a large State, with more mileB of sea-coast and more pro-
ductive interior than any other State in the expanded
Union of forty-two States — and more a-coming. Mr.
Bonner is as famed in the line of literary publications as
he is in the field of fast trotters — the representatives of
American sporting upon the turf, growing more popular
every year. The English system is running; the Ameri.
can system is trotting. It is the development of the horse
— the horse for usefulness, and the horse for profit. Raceis
are for the speed upon the turf. Trotters comprise the
evolution which cultivates the speed and includes the
every-day utility. Horses do not run, or lope, or canter,
to market; they trot. As the Irish Councilman of New
York said of the Venetian gondolas, let Nature take her
course. Otherwise, make room for the trotterB.

Robert Bonner gave impetus to the development of
trotters when he paid $30,000 for Dexter. The fastest
trotterB had not been rated at any such value before
that. He merits great credit for his foresight and mag-
nificent appreciation of the worth of trotterB. He is now
the owner of the two fastest trotters in the world — of
Maud S., aged, with her record of 2:08£; of Sunoi, a
three year old, with her record of 2: 10£. This would
have been more than glory enough for any man, years
ago. But the times have changed and the manners are
otherwise. Now the objective point is to get down to
even two minutes for the mile. Mr. Bonner is an apostle
to this improved goBpel of the turf — although he pro-
poses to make the development according to his own
method. No iratter as to that; his welcome in Califor-
nia will be none the lesB cordial; his reception by the
breeders and turfmen of California will be hearty and
sincere.

Mr. Bonner is reported by telegraph as remarking of
the superior climate and soil of California fur raising
horses, that here the "grass is particularly adapted for
blooded stock." In this the proofs are before him. Also,
he ib reported as saying. "The men out there [in Cali-
fornia] have got breeding down to a science, and I want
to talk with them, especially about the advantages of
cross breeding." These sentiments, from the source
whonce they come, are subjects for gratification in Cali-
fornia, for deliberation at the East. It is the belief here
that California is superior in climate and soil and every-
thing else essential to the breeding of the best blood and
fatest trotters and racerR. As to the science of breeding,
r. Bonner will have only to make account of the testa
any of the great breeding farms of California for con-
firmation of the best reports which have reached him.

As evidence of his partial couvincement to this extent
already, is the report that he has changed bis mind since

the purchase of Sunol; that he will leave the California
filly at Palo Alto another year, to give Marvin a chance
to drive her to beat her own record. It is a wise conclu-
sion. It is evidence that Mr. Bonner is open to convic-
tion. His method of training is, to his mind, complete.
Still, a more thorough and perfect method may exist.
He seeks the utmost. It is the manifestation of the in-
quiring mind and the noble spirit. Doubtless Mr. Bon
ner's curiosity will be satisfied. The chances are that, in
Marvin's hands, Sunol will lower ber record as a three
year old, and in her fourth year will make the mile to
the wonderment of the world.

The Breeder and Sportsman joins in the welcome to
Mr. Bonner, and is confident in the belief that he will
enjoy his visit to the Pacific Coast.

An Intimation of the Coming.

An exchange, commenting upon the sale of Sunol, in-
timates that, perhaps the wonderful filly was parted with
because at Palo Alto is one more wonderful, which will
in good time show a faster mile in public, and prove a
greater record smasher. It may be so; there is no tell-
ing what a California bred colt or filly may yet do in that
line. At all events, there is no telling, from any of the
great breeding farms, what can be done. The proof is
furnished the public of what is done as an accomplished
fact. Brag is not indulged in. First comes the per-
formance; after it the boast.

A Los Angeles Spring Meeting.

At a meeting of the Directors of the Los Angeles Agri-
cultural Society, held last week, it was determined to
hold a spring meeting, for both trotters and runners, to
commence on Monday, April 14, 1890, an I close April
18th. At the Bame time a committee was appointed to
report a programme for colt stakes for the meetings of
1890-91-92, the time of closing to be arranged by the
committee, who consist of Directors Robinson, Newton-
Hinds and Wise. The treasurer reported as to the state
of the finances, and he was ordered to pay off part of the
outstanding indebtedness.

Mr. Bonner a"d Trotters.

In the New York World of recent date Robert Bonner
published a letter animadverting upon an item in the
Breeder and Sportsman in reference to his noted pur-
chases of great trotters and retiring them from the turf
and from the further making of records. Mr. Bonner
cites to his own vindication and to the support of the
uses to which he puts his trotters a statement of the
horses which he has purchased, of some that he has bred,
and of their performances subsequent to the purchase.
To all that he states it is not material to make more than
general answer. But his itatement does not affect the
substance of the article in the Breeder and Sportsman
in respect to records — records recognized as official by
turfmen and the general public.

Unqualified acknowledgment is made of the service
Mr. Bonner has contributed to the breeding, the im-
provement and the increased valuation of trotters
throughout the country. But this is not all to be con-
sidered. It is the record, together with the pedigree and
blood of the trotter that makes the horse more valued.
Records are made only on the track, agreeably to estab-
lished rules. Performances on private tracks, or with-
out attention to these rules, go for nothing, and are not
officially accepted. Statements of marvelous nerform-
ances in private are often reported, but these never count
except among the few who place faith in them. Doubt-
less Sunol, Regal Wilkes, Palo Alto, Stamboul, and other
famous trotters have made performances on the private
tracks of their ownerB to warrant them in the confidence
that each can trot the mile in lower time than either has
yet made in public trial. The record, however, must go
with the public performance according to rule. A rec-
ord of this eshential character cannot be made by any of
Mr. Bonner's trotterB so long as he adheres to his meth-
od in withdrawing horses from the track. This is the
point mainly in issue. But it is not the only point.

The Breeder and Sportsman is not alone nor un-
supported in the opinion that Mr. Bonner's method so
resolutely maintained, of wi'hdrawing from the turf the
great trotters which his abundant wealth enables him to
purchase, is to the ultimate benefit of the animal, and it
certainly militates against the renown of the turf. There
are instances, no doubt, wherein his purchases assure
hatter keeping, more careful training and more consid-
erate handling, than could be had in the hands of others,
with longer life, improved usefulness and better results
in breeding. But it will be difficult if not impossible to
convert the greater number of horsemen to the belief
that even on the fine breeding farm of Mr. Bonner the
trotter is better oared for and more skillfully trained,
with promise of longer life and useful ot as in breeding,
than on the well -conducted farms of noted breeders— as

at Palo Alto, at San Mateo, at Rosemead, at Pleasanton,
and at Biuiilar farms throughout the Union. In the
care of men, of whom Charles Marvin, John Goldsmith,
Budd Doble and John Splan are the Jtype, the trotter —
from foal to extreme age— is intelligently, humanely,
tenderly and thoroughly bred, and trained and handled
in every respect. The prime motive of self interest in
the care and uBe ot a trotter worth a moderate_fortune, as
wealth is now accounted, will govern the owner and im-
press upon him the importance of avoiding everything
which may impair or affect the animal.

Horses bred and used iu this approved manner main-
tain the public interest in the turf, refine and ennoble
the fcrand sport, delight the multitudes by their marvel
of performance, aud assure the continuity of superior
lines to future generations. It also enhances values — a
very material point with breeders and owners. The
Bonner method unquestionally obstructs this develop-
ment. In one sense it acts like the withdrawal of large
sums from general circulation, locked in the coffers of
individuals, and of account only to the pride of the pos-
sessor.

It is in this aBpect that the Breeder and Sportsman
takes issue on the subject. It is not with regard to Mr^
Bonner that our comments are expressed. It is solely
with the method or system whicn he has inaugurated
and pursues that we deal. There may have been a time
— twenty or thirty years ago — for such a method; but if
so, that time has passed away. Under the better, open
system of breeding trotters, values have progressed, and
records have been lowered. Give the record-breakers a
fair and square chance to further lower them, down to
the two-minute notch.

The Weather-

That much berated individual, "the clerk of the weath
er," has been at his old tricks again, and we are inclined
to the belief that the cursings showered so liberally on
his head are well deserved. The Blood Horse Associa
tiou have become so accustomed to bad weather that
they do not seem to mind a few postponements, and the
horsemen who come to attend the fall meetings usually
come prepared to stay a month. The rain has been a dis
appointment to many, but to none more so than the trot-
ting horse drivers who had their horses just on edge and
were ready to smash the records still further. Sunol
would have lowered her record so far that the time of
Maud S. would have been in danger. Palo Alto would
have touched 2:10, and Stamboul would have won $5000
for Sena'or Rose. There is no guess work about these
assertions. Provided the weather bad bten clear, all of
these things would have come to pass to-day at Napa.
Whether the horses can be put into condition before the
close of the year i8 a question. At present it looks doubt-
ful.

Sir Mod red.

Some weeks ago our Australian correspondent wrote
as to the amount of winnings of the get of Darebin on
the Australian turf. The showing was a good one as
he only stood two seasons in the antipodes prior to being
shipped to America. That he will do equally well in
America cannot be doubted. Sir Modred has had one
mor3 year in California than his stable companion, and
it is with pleasure that we call attention to his wonder-
ful prepotency to produce speed. When the Haggin
sale took place last year a number of the get of Sir Mo-
dred were sold, and yet a majority of those present were
afraid to speculate in the youngsters as he waB an un-
tried sire. What he can do has been demonstrated thia
year. He has only had eight starters and five of them
are winners. Tournament, Ballarat, Sir John, FanDy G
and Marie Lovell have all caught the eyes of the judges
first during the racing season just passed, and each of
them are full of promise for next year. Mr. Haggin
has made a good selection in getting Sir Modred to grace
the Rancho Del Paso harem, and if age spares him we
expect to find Sir Modred at the top of the list of win-
ning sires before many seasons roll by.

The Ten Broeck Case.

It is with extreme regret that we feel called upon to
mention anything about the Ten Broeck affair, which
has startled the community of San Mateo. Only a few
weeks ago we had the pleasure of meeting the old gen-
tleman on the cars while on a trip down the country,
and most assuredly he appeared as sare as ever. We
conversed about many matters, among others the Chi-
cago Herald account of his death. He gave me a de-
tailed account of the shooting, and laughed heartily at
the obituary which was read to him. The following ift
the report of the Commissioners:

"We, your Oommipsioners, appointed by your Honor on
Nov. 2nd, 1889, to inquire into a obarge of insanity made
against Richard Ten Broeck of San Mateo, in San Mateo
County, find that he is not in a condition which warrants us
in signing a commitment to take him to an insane asylum.

THE AMERICAN TURF CONGRESS.

A visit to Doble's Stable.

The Breeder apd Sportsmax Eastern correspondent was
in Chicago last week attending the meeting of the American
Turf Congress. He sends us the following report:

The American Turf Congress held its annual meeting in
the office of the Washington Park Clnb at the Palmer House
Wednesday, November 13th. At noon President J.E. Brew-
ster, secretary of the "Washington Park Club, called tbe con-
gress to order, and there were present General J. F. Robin-
son, Lexington Jockey Club; Colonel L. M. Clark, Louis-
ville Jockey Club; Colonel Charles S. Green, St. Louis Joc-
key Clnb; Judge George J. Perkins amd E. C. Hopper, La-
tonia Jockey Club; J. K Oglebug, Kansas City Jockey Club;
Frank Shaw, Twin City Jockey Club; L. Ezebitl, Birming-
ham, Ala., and B G. Bruce, Lexington, secretary of the con-
gress. President Brewster held a proxy for the Denver club.
New Orleans was not represented. The minutes of the last
meeting were read and approved, as was also tne treasurer's
report. On the suggestion of the president the rules drawn
Dp by Secretary Bruce as amendments to the present rules
were taken up tor disoussion. The first change made was
in the preamble an i by-laws, in which, section H which
read, "The subscribing jockey clubs agree that no contract
for betting privileges be made with any association of book-
makers," was stricken out.

Rule 3, which read, "Conditions referring to maidens
shall mean maidens at the time of the start. unleBB other-
wise specified," was amended to read; "Maidens at the time
of entry."

Rule 19 was changed. It formerly was; "Where no en-
trance fee is required the declaration must be accompanied
by 5 per cent of the whole amount of the purse." It now
atands: "5 per cent of the first money."

Rule 21 was made to read; '*No association running under
these rules shall receive the entry of. or allow a horse whose
name has been changed, anywhere or on any course, to run
on their course " The addition of "anywhere or any course"
was made to cover courses not connected with the congress,
there having been one or two flagrant violations of the rules
last year, when horses ran in one name on western tracks,
went East and ran in another name and then came back
West with their old name. The latter part of the rule ma-
king it take effect on Jan. 1, 18S9, was eliminated as useless
now.

In rule 24, regarding entries, the j)arty making the entry
to stakes must give his name and poaioffice address. The
ooligation to give his racing colors was stricken out.

Rule 37, which deals with Liability for stakes and forfeits
was altered. The old rule read: "A person entering a horse
thereby becomes liable for the entrance money, stake or for-
feit. A subscriber to sweepstakes is liable for the stake or
forfeit, but if he transfer any entry or a right of entry therein
to any other Derson he is liable only in case of default by the
transferee, and in that case may recover from the transferee,
and may, if he pay such s'akes or forfeits, place them on the
forfeit list as to himself." The words after "stakes or forfeits"
where stricken out and these substituted: "Be entitled to a
forfeit order a8 due to himself." In rule 42 the clause com-
pelling the time of the first race to be indicated on the dial
"half an hour in advance" was stricken out, and it was only
made compulsory to "indicate it on the dial."

The alteration of clause A of rule 47 was the most impor-
tant of the meeting and provoked some discussion. The
clause read: "There shall bs no races given for horses three
years old and npwarl less than six furlongs." The amended
rule is as follows: "There shall be lo daBh race for horses
three years old and upward less than one mile." This was
the only change that brought about a division, and the a-
mended rule was carried by a vote of 6 to 2, the ineinbera
voting against it being Judge Perkins, of Latonia, and L
Ezekiel, of Birmingham. This rule is an excellent one, and
it will banish from the race tracks a lot of worthless rubbish.
This question of allowance of gelding came up, but at the
suggestion of the president it was passed for the present Mr.
BrewBter said boththe committees from the Eist and the
West had agreed that the allowance for geldings should be done
away with, but they had not yet reported, nor had they been
dissolved. He thought it would be more courteous to wait
for their report than to act without it.

In rule 48 regarding over weight, and which makes the
jockey declare the amount of overweight to the clerk of the
scales forty-five minutes before the race if it exceeds two
pounds, the words "owner and trainer consenting" were
added.

Rule 51, defining a starter and bets on him, was made
clearer than it has been formerly. It now reads: "Every
horse whose jockey has weighed out, and whose number
has been put up, is a starter, and shall be liable for his whole
stake. If a horse is excused after he is weighed out all
book bets on the raoe are void, and additional time before the
race shall be granted by the judges. In auction pools or
French mutuals the bets stand, but the money bet on the
excused horse must be refunded."

Rule 53, regarding foul riding and fraud, makes the pen-
alty for such misdeeds permanent. The rule now says:
"Any one ruled off for a fraud shall stand ruled off for
life."

In rule 92, on penalties and allowances, clause A, which
states that in all races exclusively for two and three year
olds, no penalty shall exceed five pounds, was stricken
out, as was also clause C of the same rule, which Bays: "No
horse shall receive allowance of weight or be relieved from
extra weight for having been beaten in one or more races;
provided, that this rule shall not prohibit maiden allow-
ances."

Rules 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106, referring to jockeys' fees,
suspension of jockeys, licenses for jockeys and trainers, fines
and their disposal, the fund for trainers and jockeys, post
bookmaking and corrupt and fraudulent practices, were re-
ferred to a committee composed of Gen. J. F. Robinson,
Judge Perkins and B. G. Bruce, with instructions to report
in the morning.

In rule 120, the clause limiting the iBsue of badges to any
one newspaper to two was stricken out.

In place of rule 140, Judge Perkins, Latonia, moved the
following: "If an ineligible horse be entered for the purpose
of betting against him, and be finishes first, or if he be en-
tered for the purpose of having him disqualified by objection
made after the race, all bets made on such race shall be de-
clared off." This was carried unanimously.

Rule 160 was changed to the following: "When two or
more horses start in a race in the same interest, or owned
wholly or in pBrt by the same persons, they shall be coupled
and sold as one horse in all pools, Paris mutuals and book
betting."

The Congress adjourned at 4 o'clock, after having got
through a good afternoon's work. President Brewster in-
vited the members of tbe Congress and the representatives | poDtrsrv

of the press to drive to Washington Park at one o'clock the
following day and lunch at the olub-houBe.

The American turf coogreas was late on Thursday morn-
ing in resuming its deliberations, and it was 11 o'clock before
President Brewster called the meeting to order. All the
member that attended on Wednesday were present.

The first business was the reception of tbe leport of the
committee appointed on rules 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106, re-
lating to jockeys' fees, licenses for jockeys and trainers, post
bootniakings and corrupt and faudulent practices. Judge
Perkins, of the Latonia Club, was the only memrer that had
drawn np a written report, and he advocated in it the crea-
tion of a board of license, to be composed of three officers of
clnbs belongirjg to the congress, and that all trainers and joc-
keys should procure their licenses rom that board. The old
rule required the license to be obtained from the secretary of the
American turf congress by application to him or on lecom-
mendation by any association running under the rules
Judge Perkins spoke in favor of his measure. He said the
l;censing pystem was not only for the creation of a fund for
disabled trainers and jockeys, bnt it was for the purpose of
keeping dishonest people off the turf. In other walks of life
a license was not granted to a man unless he had a good char-
acter, and the same system shonld prevail in racing. There
were some joekejs on the turf now who-e character would
not bear investigation, and yet no one liked to get up and
say so. A board would inquire into these thingp, and, if it
found anything wrong, refuse a license. They all knew that
the characters of the jockeys were inquired into in England,
and the jockey club there had frequently refused licenses.

General Robinson of Lexington, said he fully agreed with
Judge Perkins as to having a board, and had always been of
the opinion that no jockey of a known crooked character
should be licensed. The only objection he had to Judge
Perkins' plan waB that he thought it would be hard work to
get the three members of the board together to examine into
characters. He was of the opinion that the matter might be
obviated by making every applicant for a license have the
recommendation of two responsible people in addition to the
recommendation of the association.

R G. Bruce of Lexington, said he agreed with General
Robinson, and did not think a board was feasible.

Colonel Louis Clark of Louisville, paid if they were going
to have licenses at all let them, be strict about the matter. Of
course the judges at the tracks had the power to revoke a
license if they thought a jockey was doing crooked work, and
he, for one, always did imist on this rule being carried out,
and what was more, if he once did reveke a license he never
voted to give it back.

After some further discussion Judge Perkins said that, as
the majority cf tbe committee was against him, he would
withdraw his report. Eventually the committee was dis-
charged, not being able to agree, and the congress as a whole
took up the mles in dispute. Some minor amendments were
suggested, but did not meet with favor, and rules 102, 103,
104, 105 and 106 were passed as they stood, the President
remarking that the laws were stringent enough if the associ-
ation would only carry them out.

Jodge Perkins wished to add a new rule relative to book-
making, to the effect that any one betting on credit with a
bookmaker and not paying his bets should be ruled off. This
was voted down on the ground that a bookmaker, like a
merchant, need not give credit unless he liked. In addition
to this it was claimed that it would make tbe associations
responsible for all unpaid debts.

The Congress adjourned at 12:30, and on invitation of
President Brewster took carriages for the Washington Park
Club House, where a substantial and recherche luncheon
was partaken of, the principal feature being a magnificent
saddle of Southdown muttou. The Congress reassembled at
the Palmer House at 5:30, and as soon as it was called to or-
der Ju^ge Perkios moved the following resolution, which waB
oarrien1 unanimously:

Resolved, That we tender to the officers of the Washington
Park Club our grateful acknowledgments for the cordial hos-
pitality extended during our stay in the city. The absence
of President Wheeler has been the only shadow on the visit,
and we desire to send him hearty greeting and Godspeed on
his way to recovery.

The Congress then went into executive session. The fol-
lowing officers were elected for the ensuing year: President,
T. J. Megibben, Cynthiana, Kv.; Secretary, B. G. Bruce,
Lexington, Ky.; Treasurer, O. L. Bradley, Lexington, Ky.
The dates for next year's meetings were fixed upon as fol-
lows:

Birmingham, Ala., April 9th to April 15th; Lexington, May
4th to May 13th; Louisville, May 14th to May 23rd; Esto-
nia, May 24th to Jane 9th; St. Louis: June 7th to June 20th;
Chicago, Washington Park. June 21st to July 19th; Twin
City Jockey Club, July 23rd to August 2nd.

New Orleans will probably commence before Birmingham,
and Nashville, which is not in the association, will no douht
come in between Birmingham and Lexington. Kansas City
did not ask for dates; neither did Denver.

Some more alterations were made in the by-laws and roles.
In Bection G of the by-laws on officers the following wan
added: "The term of the office of President shall be limited
to one year, and no member elected President shall be eligi-
ble for re-election until after the lapse of one year."

Paragraph 4 of rule 91 was altered to read as follows: "Any
horse qualified at the time of entry shall continue to be qual-
ified unless otherwise specified in the conditions of the
raoe.

On motion of Colonel Clark section D of rule 102 was al-
tered bo as to read: "This rule shall be applicable to trainers
and jockeys, whether owners or not."

A new rule numbered 162 was added. It says: "Associa-
tions running under these ruleB may enforce the payment
of all bets."

A committee consisting of General RobiDson, Colonel
Lewis Clark and Judge Perkins was appointed to inquire
into the charaoter of any trainer or jockey applying for a
license, wnh full power to determine whether that license
should be issued or not.

The committee of conference with the eastern olubs, com-
posed of J. E. Brewster, Colonel Lewis Clark and Judge
Perkins was continued until the new president should call
a special meeting wherever and whenever he might select to
receive its report.

All the alternations in the old rules, and the new rules,
go into effect on June 1, 1890.

Cincinnati was selected for the next annual meeling, and
the congress adjourned after having had a most harmonious
meeting, and also having accomplished a great deal of good
work.

After the meeting I visited the stablea in which are quar-
tered Budd Doble's horBes, at Washington Park. While
there I saw the great $105,000 colt, Axtell, and looking him
over carefully, felt of him from head to toe. A more sound
animal never lived — notwithstanding some reports to the
Suoold'o 2:10J has detracted but little from hie

honor, but it cannot be denied that his owners and admirers
are somewhat nneasy regarding Palo Alto. It is tbe honest
opinion, however, of many (your correspondent included, if
you please,) that if the William L. colt were given a chance
on the Bay Distriot track, under favorable auspices, he
would knock certain records sky high I like California and
her horses, and if I am prejudiced at all, it is in their favor;
but in this case I candedly admit that were I to pick the fast-
est trotterB in tbe world to-day, they would be Sunol and
Axtell, and the toss of a coin would only decide my choice as
to nest season, if I were a betting man. All bail to them
both; but if a life-long study of scientific breeding should
receive its jast reward, th-n the great filly Bhould attain the
fastest notch; and Senator Stanford's theory would be in tbe
ascendent. It is a struggle between a ' phenomenal" trotter
and a scientifically bred trotter — "may the best horse win.'
Axtell has been taken to his winter quarters on Mr. Ijani's
farm at Terra Haute, Indiana.

In charge of George Starr, Budd Doble's striDg leaves here
next week for Fresno, Cal., over the Southern route. The
string consistt of the pacers Johnston, 2:06}. and Ed. Arwan,
2:164;; and tbe trotters Marie Jansen, three year old record
2:30; MeD, 2:30; Maudlin. 2:25^; the great gray gelding,
Jack, 2:15; Reina, three year old record 2:22J; Gracie Lee,
by Electioneer, three year old record 2:29|; Heylio, three
year old record 2:30; and the well known trotting mare Lady
Bullion.

Johnston and Jack are looking 6plendid, and the little Ed.
Arwan is looking as chipper as an unbroken cow pony.

The best of results are exuectee in this string, after one of
California's nourishing winters, and all will undoubtedly be
in good fix for work next season.

"Webster defines half brother as being by one pareDt. but
not by both. Upon what hypothesis do breeders of stock
refute and conclude that two horses by the same sire are
not half brothers?

Answer. — Horsemen, as a rule, call those half brothers
and half sisters that are the progeny of the same mother by
different sires — probably to mark a genenl belief that the
mare plays a more important part in determining the gen-
eral excellence or otherwise of the progeny. Iu crossing
strains of blood that have bit, this distinction is marked.
Numbers may huve something to do with it, there being so
many half brothers by a single stallion and so few by a sin-
gle mare.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arpbippun.
SUMMARY.

The Olympic club boxing tournament which ended on
Saturday evening lust was a grand success.

The athletics including runners, walkers, jumpers, oars-
men, swimmers and wheelmen after training bard for several
weeks p -at are taking a few days rest before they enter the
ginies during the coniming week.

EUXNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, EtfB.

Frank O'Kaue's victory in the one honored yajds run at the
University Games on Saturday last waa quite a surprise to
some of the sprinters.

I* Should it rain between Monday and Tbursday nest the
Berkeley track will be too heavy for record breaking. As it
is the track is very safe owing to the recent rains, but if tbe
weather remains dry for three or four days the track will be
in a pretty decent condition.

At the O. A. C. games next Thursday the sprint -ng event
will be well worth witnessing. All tbe amatuer ruuuers on
the Paoific Coast are entered and exciiiug finishes may be
anticipated.

The Bay District tra"k haB been entirely deserted by the
athletes during the past week, owing to the wet weather.
The O. A- C. runners and walkers, have been making good
use of the indoor track in the gymnasian.

IN THE 8URF.

The entries for the swimming races under the auspices of
tne Lurline Club, which will be decided at th» suel er Cove
Balhs to-morrow afternoon, are numerous. The entries will
close rhis evening at the club rooms on Bay street.

The attendance at tbe Pa'ace and Crystal BathB during
the week was unusually large.

AT THE OARS.

During the week the Ariel and Pioneer crews devoted
a great deal of time to training. The crews which will take
part in tbe regatta at Sausahto on Thursday next are in
splendid conditioo, and there is not the slightest doubt but
that tbe record for four-oared shells will be broken.

Tbe crew which will represent the Pioneer Club will be as
follows: L Stevenson, bow; William H. Growney, No. 2;
Charles Long, No. 3. John Sullivan, stroke.

The Ariel crew will consist of Eugene Flanders, bow; Hen-
ry Tank; No. 3; H. Brown, No. 2; Al. Branch, stroke.

Henry Peterson has signified his intention of entering the
single scull race.

The entries will close on Thursday next, Nov. 2Sth, 12 M.
Oarsnen who desire to compete must send their names to A.
S. Thompson of Sausalito before that time, and must state
the name of the club to which they belong.

Should the weather prove fine to-morrow the scene in
front of tbe Lurime Club House at North Beach will be a
lively one. Crews from all tbe clubs around the Bay will be
present.

W. Growney, Fred Smith, John Muirhead, Leander Stev-
enson and Walter Blake of the Ariels und Pioneers will row
over in their shells, while two Barge crwes and a Lap Streak
crews will also join in the procession.

The following crew from the Ariels will be on hand: J. J.
Larkey, stroke; L. F. Nunan, 2; Ed. Finley, 3; H. G. Far-
rel, bow.

The following challenge was banded in late last night just
as we were going to press:
Athletic Editor Breeder and Sportsman: —

I hereby challenge any and all professional four-oared
Barge crews to row a tbiee-mile rowing match on the Ala-
meda mole course in best and best Barges for tbe sum of
$500. Man and money to be found at 151 Taylor Street.
The picked crew of the Dolphin preferred.

Henry Tank.
Captain Ariel Rowing Club.
the wheelmen.

The wheelmen have been nnable to do much out-door prac-
tice during the week on account of tbe wet weather. The
home-trainers, however, have been brought into use, and the
boys are keeping their legs in good condition.

On Monday or Tuesday the track at Napa will be harrowed
and then rolled, so that by Thanksgiving Day it will be in
excellent condition for the race-meet.

The entries will close at 8 o'clock this evening.

For the ordinary Safety race, there are already six men
entered. Seven Novices have signified their iuteution of
competing in the Novice Safety race. Itis generally believed
that most of the crack riders back nntil the last moment.

Bobert M. Welch has resignsd from the Bay City Wheel-
men, fle has been tendered an honorary membership. Mr.
Welch is one of the most enthusiastic wheelmen on tbe Pacific
Coast. He was the first to introduce the Safety out here.

There will be a breakfast run of the Oakland Bicycle Club
of '89 to-morrow morning.

Several new riders will make their appearanca on the track
next year.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The benefit-exhibition of the Pacific Athletic Club, which
will be held al tbe Mission Skatiug Rink. 2411 Mission St.,
near Twentieth, on Tuesday evening next, November 26, h*
should attract a large crowd of people. The sport will be
good and wholesome, and a very fine programme will be
given. Tbe price of admission haB been fixed at twenty-five
cents. All the champion boxers, both professional and ama-
teur, will lend tbeir services.

Several well known amateur athletes will bold a meeting in
the near future /ortho purpose of organizing an athletic club.
The objects of the club will be to hold out-duor meetings
every niuutu, and au in-door exhibition about every two
months. The organization will be composed of young men
of good social Htauding, and its chief aim will be to give ath-
letic exhibitions both iu and out-door to which the members

nay iuvite their lady friends with perfect safety.

We hop* William Grepr HarriHon will withdraw his resig-
nation as President of the Olympic Club. He should not
allow the nngent'emnnly conduct of a handful of ungrateful
members to worry him. be is the best President the club
i rer bad sinct, its organization, aud the member: should

iso every effjrt within their power to try and indnce Mr.
Hurrison to re-consider his action. If hie resignation is
acoepted, tbe members will sadly deplore his loss.

THE GROWING ACORNS.

Despite the chilliness of the atmosphere, which rendered
heavy clothing and wraps necessary to insure comfort in the
open air, there was a goodly crowd, including a number of
ladies, at the first open games of the Acorn Athletic Associa-
tion, held at the giounds of the organization, Fifty-sixth
street and Second Avenue, South Brooklyn, on November
5th. The track was in good condition, and the sports, which
were well managed, resulted as follows:

Seventy-tive jai-fis run — Won by David Sands, Pastime A

There were nearly one thousand persons in tbe St. Henri
Town Hall on Saturday evening, November 2nd, to witness
a series of trials of strength between Louis Cyr, the cham-
pion heavy lilter, and Barre, another well known manin the
same line of Bpurt. Both men were loudly cheered on mak-
ing their appearance on the stage. Tne first item on the
programme waB the lifting of the heavy dumb bells. Cyr
was the victor, lifting a dumb bell weighing 2651bs to hiB op-
ponent's 1951b. The Dext event was the most interesting
one of the evening, and proved beyond all doubt Cyr's right
to the championship. First, a platform weighing 140 lbs was
put on tbe stage, on the top of which were placed seven
dumb-bells, weighing in the aggregate 789 lbs, making a total
of 929 lbs. Both men succeeded in raising the same from
the floor. Next a barrel of flour weighing 218 lbs was also
put on the table. This extra weight was also successfully
coped with by the two men. Thirdly, a man weighing 175
lbB was added and lifted by them. Then three men weigh-
ing respectively 145 lbs, 155 lbs and 144 lbs, were put on the
table, the whole affair now weighing 1,816 lbs. Cyr managed
to lift the load, but Barre failed to do bo and gave up. Cyr
then had three more men, weighing altogether 562 lbs, mak-
ing a total weight of 2.378 li s added. Cyr, amidst breathless
silence, approached the table, and putting his brawny arms
around it, essayed to lift his heavy burden, which he did
with apparent ease, rousing the enthusiasm of the onlookers
to the wildest pitch. After a short rest Cyr once more ap-
peared aod went through a series of heavy lifting perform-
ances, tbe principal of which was the lifting of two dumb-
bells tied together, weighing 479 lbs. He caught the rope in
the middle, and with one linger lifted them some distance
from the ground. This brought to an end one of the best
entertainments of its kind ever seen in Canada.— Montreal
{Can.) Herald.

Several hundred people shivered at the grounds of£the de-
funct Brooklyn Athletic Association on the afternoon of Elec-
tion Day, November 5th, the special attraction whioh had
served to take them there on such a chilly day being the
match contest between the all round champion athlete, Mal-
colm Ford, and his particular rival, A. A. Jordan.' The
match included three events only instead of the regular list
at competitions for the general athletic cbamponsihip, these
being throwing the hammer, putting tbe shot, and throwing
the 5(ilb weight. The result was in favor of Jordan, who
won the hammer with a throw of 103ft 4.Un, to 91ft lOMn for
Ford; and took the weight with a throw of 21ft llin to 21ft
lOJin for Ford. As the agreement was that the winner of two
events Bhould take the prize, valued at $200, to be selected by
the winner, this ended the contest in favor of Jordan, who
was congratulated by his many friends among the crowd.
The other events resulted as follows:

STUDENTS AT PLAY.

A fine day's sport on the campus at Berkeley. A large and
enthusiastic indientt encouraged tte athletes.

The annual fall games of the University of California Ath
letic Club attracted about 3,000 ladies and gentlemen to the
college grounds last Saturday afternoon The day from an
athletic point of view was perfect. The track, owing to the
recent inclement weather, was a trifle heavy and in conse-
quence tbe time made the different running events was not
as good as might be expected. The First United States Artil-
lery Band was present and added moch to the enjoyment of
the day. Quite a number of stndents made their debut on
the ciuder path and the Olympians will need be very careful
with their training previous to the champion»bip games next
May, in order to keep ahead of the 'Varsity. Muffett did not
compete and his absence was greatly felt. The arrangements
were perfect aud great credit is due the Athletic Committee.

GLOVED SPARTANS.

The amateur boxing tournament under the auspices of the
Olympic Athletic Club which began Thursday evening Nov.
14 and ended Saturday last was in every way a decided sno-
cess.

FIRST NIGHT.

About 2000 members and their friends packed tbe gymnas-
iam. The stage was elevated two feet from the floor. The
ring was 24 foot and was excellently laid out.

The tournament opened with the heavy weight class.
W. J. Kenealey O. A, O. 170 lbs. and;J. Kitchen Jr. Acme
of Oakland. - 170 lbs were the first pair to face the audi-
ence, time was called at S:05. Both men went at it hammer
and tongs. In the firBt round there was much clichiog on
both sideB. In the second round Kenealey was floored sever-
al times and at call of time retired to his corner very groggy.
In the third round Kitchen again rushed his man, but Ken-
ealey who had freshened up a little retaliated in good style
and struck the Acme man several good blows. Science how-
evercame out a head and poor Kenealey again retired very
groggy. In the next round Kenealy received the quietus ex-
actly one minute after time had been callod. He was over
matched as regards science, but made a game fight. Kitchen
was at least three inches taller than Kenealey which eave
him more advantage. Kenealey was completely covered with
blood. ThiB ended the heavy weight bouts as F. N. Zehfuss
the only other entry was disabled owing to an accident.

The next bout was between M. Espinosa, O A C, and
Frank Skuce, unattached, both bantams. The contest ended
in favor of Eipinosa, who displayed the most science.

F Bogan, G G A C and I W Donegan, unattached, alao in
the bantam class next faced the music. Both men proved
themselves to be as quick as lightning and the bout was a
hard fonght one. Donegan was declared the winner.

Bantams, J Fitz-nmoos, nnattaohed and E. B. Wilcot, A C
were next. Up to the fourth round the pointB were even. In
the fourth round Wilcot had the advantage and held it. His
science won him tbe bout.

J. F. Larkin, O A C, and A McSweeney, unattached, were
the next aspirants for bantam honors. Larkin wou. While
waiting for the nest pair of boxerB to appear, Pres. Harrison
addressed the members in regard to the new building on
Post St. In less than 15 minutes, $17,006 worth of bonds
was subscribed for, several members subscribing $2,000
each.

When boxing was resumed, E B Wilcox and J Donegan
was declared the winner after a hard battle.

Darken and fJEspinosa were the next pair to meet. The
former was knocked out in the second round.

J. Luoy, nnattached, and R. Nicholson also unattached,
were the first pair to fight under the feather weight class.

In the third round the boat was awarded to Lucy, Nich-
olson deliberately fooling him by trying to break his neck.

W. Kramers-unattached, and G F Green, O A C Juvenile,
contested for feather weight honors.

At the end of the fourth round the points were even and an
extra round was ordered. It was won by Green.

T. Rennilson, P A C and S Howard, 0 A C Juvenile, were
next to follow. The bout waB won by Eennilson.

The next bout was to decide the winner of the bantam class.
Espinosa and Donegan were the winners so far. Daring
the first foar rounds the judges were unable to decide which
of the men earned the most points and so ordered another
round. Espinosa won the bout and the first prize. Donegan
will get second prize.

SECOND NIGHT.

The first event of the evening was a continuation of the
feather weights. E. L. Toadvin, unattached, faced J. G.
Brady, O A C. Toadvin was declared the winner.

Following that J. Lncy, unattached, and T. Rennilson,
P A C winners iu the first prelimioarylboats sparred off. Lucy
won after a good hot fight.

T. McCord and S. Howard next sparred a[bye.

The light-weight '.division next began with R. McAr-
thur, 0 A C, and Otto Luhn, G G A C ae apponentB. Luhn
quit in the third round.

G F Green, O A C, andE L Toadvin, winners in the firBt
preliminary bouts of the feather weights, come on for a spar
off. Green's strength and hitting powers won the bout for
him.

H Gallagher, unflttaebed, and C Bogan, G G A C, followed
next in the first preliminary of the lights. In the third round
Boyan received a smash on the jaw that knocked him out.

H Gendar, O A C, and H Mullen, G G A C, met in the
third of the light weight preliminaries. Gendar easily got
away with the boat.

McArthnr and Gallagher, winners in the first light weight
preliminary, then appeared for the second preliminary. Mc-
Arthur apparently had the best of the battle but the jttdges
awarded the victory to Gallagher.

P. Knack, unattached and J. D. Lafferty, O A C, were the |
first pair to spar in the welter weight class. In the third '
round Knack was unable to respond and the tight went to
Lafferty.

The next event of the evening was a bout between John
E. Mannix, unattached, and W S Nolan, G G A C. It was
found necessary to order an extra round so even were the
men watched. Mannix won by one point.

B Knack, unattached, and" J L Lafferty, O A C, were the
firBt pair to spar in the Welter weight class. In the third
round Knack was unable to respond, and the fight went to
Lafferty.

The last event of the evening was a bout between John E
Mannit, unattached, and "W S Nolan, G G 0 C. It was found
necessary to order an extra round, so even by were the men
matched. Mannit won by one point. This was the last event
of the evening, owing to a dispute over the prelfminary win-
ners in the feather weight. The final bouts in the feather
weight olaes were postponed for thirty days. The audience
was dismissed at 10:30 amid great excitement. Everyone
present was inclined to believe that the best bouts of the
tournament were cut out of their evening's amusement.

LIST OF WINNERS.

Bantam — M Espinosa first, "W J Donegan second.
Feather Weight — Decision reserved.
Light Weight — H Gallagher first, H Gendar second.
Welter Weight — J L Lafferty firBt, W Gallagher second.

THIRD NIGHT.

This being the winding-up night, the crowd present waa
even larger than on either of the previous nights.

Boxing began at 8:10. John Conlon, unattached, and W
Gallagher, Acme A C, began the series of contests iu the
Welter weight clacs. This was a very bloody battle, which
ended in favor of Gallagher.

J L Lafferty, O A C, and J E Mannix, unattaohed, gave
the next exhibition. At the end of the fourth round the
judges were unable to agree and a fifth round was ordered.
Lafferty finally won. Both men were covered with blood and
looked like Indians on the war path.

A hye waa boxed by J G Brady and Tho3. McCord, both of
the O A C. The contest was bwarded to McCord.

C Bogan, G G A C. then fought a bye with Harry Gendar,
O A C. Gendar easily won.

R McCord, O A C, and J Jones, unattached, next tried
conclusions.

In the second round Jones threw up the Bponge.

0 Gendar and H Gallagher next fought, and in the third
round the former quit.

Plenty of Salmon.

The run of salmon this year beats anything of the kind seen
in ten years paBt. The river is not only alive with bsh, but
the creeks and gulches are full of salmon of all sizes from
three to twenty-five pounds. Immense quantittes have been
caught, and they are in good condition for food. In crossing
Stillwater with a team one day this week the salmon were bo
thick that the horses almost stepped on them, and as they
went between the spnkes of the wagon wheels the water ap-
peared to be alive. Thousands of them will necessarily per-
ish as soon as the creeks dry up. — Redding Free Press.

Salmon Culture Costly.

[From the Toronto (Canada) Mail, Nov. 4.]
Fish culture in the great lakes haB, it is believed, resulted
in good. It has increased, bo far as can be learned, the sup-
ply of whitefish. Salmon production by artificial means in
the far East is not so successful. Mr. W. fl. Rogers, who
recently wrote to the Mail denying that the planting of
salmon in the Pacific coast rivers produced the great run of
the past season, is now out with a letter in which he calcu-
lates the results of the oistribntion of salmon fry in Nova
Scotia. It appears that since 1S82 7,174,000 salmon have
been put into the Cape Breton rivers, yet no appreciable re-
sult is experienced by the salmon fishers. Mr Rogers gives
the cost of plantiog the fish, and, balancing it against the
small additional yield, estimates that the artificially-produced
salmon cost ua $16 each, or at the rate of $1 34 per pound.
Some time ago Mr. Rogers, who waa a fishery official in Nova
Scotia, left the service of the government. Bat his criti-
cisms of the salmon-producing experiment are not novel. In
his report for 1S87 he calculates that every salmon produced
through artificial means coBts the country $8. It is, how-
ever, almost impossible to jadge with accuracy the precise
value of the hatchery system .

Since the very ancient period of Hippocrates, more than
400 years before the Christian era— the 'Father of Medicine"
— doctors have disugreed. It cannot be deemed singalar,
therefore, that the authorities on breeding horses for t-peed
and endurance should still continue to disagree. As to run-
ning horses, only in which speed was made the desideratum,
anything approximating to careful study in the breeding, and
thorough methods in the training, cannot be clearly traced
beyond less than two centuries ago. 16 should be taken into
account that in that period of limited knowledge of the world
as it is known to-day, from exploration and proofs of climate,
soil ana characteristics, the gathering of information em-
braced only Europe and the corner of Asia which Arabia oc-
cupies. The very few European explorers and travellers had
found in Arabia the fleetest horses with greatest powers of
endurance. Before that the horses of Barbary, introduced
in Spain, bad gained renown and were held at high estima-
tion. Jn England, beyond any other country of Europe,
speed and eudurance were the runking qualities to commend
horses. Form and aotion — that which was showy — com-
manded attraciiou from royalty, from nobility and the aris-
tocracy, and accordingly tne greater attention was directed
to the bpecies. Only these could afford the purchase and
procure the means of importation from foreign lands to sup-
ply their stud and enrich the native blood.

But there were rich men in England among the intelligent
Commoners and some of these had superior pride in horses.
In conjunction with the few nobles possessed of similar
pride, they imported alike from Arabia and from Barbary the
choicest stallions and mares that could be obtained. The
speed testing qualities upon the turf began during the reign
of Charles II. The Cromwellian period of Puritans and
Roundheads would not tolerate it. The reactionary period
of the Restoration wrought the change from perforced re-
straint to a liberty bordering upon licentiousness, to which
the King himself was prone.

Arabian horses had been brought into the kingdom in the
reign of the first Henry in the twelfth century, and King
John imported from Flanders to recroit his stud for war
horse?, strong and capable of fatigue. But it was not until the
enterprising Darley imported his famous Darley Arabian,
the hire of Flying Childers, that what may be accounted
thorough breeding for the turf became a distinctive class of
culture in the horse. Still an essential quality, to learn the
actual speed of horses, was wanting — that of time-pieces, by
which to ascertain the minutes and the fractions of minutes.
Now, even the seconds are split into quarters and less, and
the reckoning is accurate. This improvement in timing has
had much to do with the rating of speed upon race tracks
and the consequent reduction of records.

English turfmen have confined their breeding for speed and
endurance, practically, to runners. They yield little atten-
tion to trotters. Nor do they hold the time-piece in hand to
note the precise speed of the racer. The racers which make
the better showing and best performance on the turf are the
moBtprized, and the purity of blood in full line or in approved
crosses is of first importance. Occasional and phenomenal
trotters have appeared in England, but the breeding of trot-
ters has never received attention as it has in America. Ac-
cordingly, while we must go back to England for thorough-
breds, it is to American bloud, trans used, commingled, and
untraceable as much of it is, that the qualifications of the
trotter must be assigned. The origin is beyond accurate
trace, the pedigree is questionable. It is only in perform-
ance, and in the prevailing traits through transmission for
generations, that sound judgment can at length be seasonably
tounded. "Whether the American trotter sprung from tlie
Barbs brought from Spain by Cortez and other eany Spanish
conquerors and adventurers, or from the stock imported by
the primitive settlers from England and the Netherlands, or
is of the issne of the native Indian horses, remains the
unsolved problem. It is noteworthy, however, that the trot-
ting quality of the horse was made manifest in the northern
portion of the continent, embracing the Canadas, and that
it is still most remarkable in the latitudes north of the tropic
of Cancer. With this quality, breeding and training had no
appreciable agency. It was in the horse, as stature, brawn,
bone and physical superiority, existed in the men of northern
climes.

The debated question now is, whether the great trotter of
the future —who shall make the mile in two minutes — shall
be phenomenally bred from this undefinable American stock,
without clear pedigree, and simply an individual marvel, or,
shall be the result of studious breeding, from thoroughbred
lines and through judicious crossings? The training, in
either case, will not be disputed, as a very material factor.
It is, howeyer, the blood whioh tells. Since science has
demonstrated that in heat is force, it is fair reasoning to
assume that warm blood imparts more of activity, of vigor, of
energy, and of everything which contributes to and accelerates
motion, than cold blood. With these controlling attributes
to speed comes the more essential quality of endurance —
which warmth supplies and chilliness impairs, if it does not
destroy.

No breeder or turfman need be told that in trials of speed,
it is the horde of warm blood which outlasts in heats, and
that the "cold strain" at length causes the high-grade horse
to succumb. Unless this single fact proved the rule in every
test, it might be held as accidental. Botas it is a rale almost
without exception, it must be held as strong inferential
demonstration. Reasoning, accordingly, from the last to the
greater cause toward effect, one cannot reasonably reject the
conviction that to the production of the ultimate greatest per-
formance in trotting — the same as iu running — there must be
a supremacy of warm blood; and that every drop of cold
blood impairs the winning qualities.

Bot breeders, the same as doctors, disagree. Who shall
decide? In the light of recent performance, premonitioned
and upborn by the evolution of similar performances within
the past forty years, it is not too much to assert that the
better thorough sentiment is already authorized to declare
decision, ex-cathedra, as it were. Tbo^e who cling to the
early ideas of the phenomenal trotter, of which Lady Suffolk
waft the best type — with her mile in 2:26:}, under the saddle-
are involved in the ugly predicament of supporting their
theories with proofs. This is a practical and material Age,
and ideal Faith has no standing iu the presence of developed
Fact. The breeding whioh has produced trotters within forty
years to rednce the mile speed from 2:26£ to 2:083— a total of
sixteen seconds— requires no aid to its grand lauoation. The
performance is its own proudest testimonial. Yet this evolu-
tion is not phenomenal. Thirty years ago the number of
trotters which could speed a mile in less than 2:40 was very
small. It was not until within twenty-five years that any
trotted in 2:20. Dexter broke the record to 2:18 in 1866; in
1876 Ethan Allen lowered it to 2:15, Goldsmith Maid reduced
it to 2:14 in 1874. Dozens of trotters have since made the

mile in 2:20 and less. On this Pacifio CoaBt, 1873 Occident
went in 2:162; later, St. Julian made the mile in 2:12£, and
at the EaBt Jay-Eye-See has lowered the time to 2:10.

All of these performances were made by aged trotteis. Cal-
ifornia now comes to the front with records which excel the
world — the yearling filly, Norlaine, 2:3H; yearling stallion,
Faustino, 2:35; two year old stallion, Regal Wilkes, 2:20|;
and the three year old filly, Snnol, 2:10*. Only Maud S aod
Jay Eve See, both aged, have made the mile in less time than
Sunol. These record breakers are to the credit of California.
Also, among the breakers of recordfl and fist trotters of Cal-
ifornia breeding are Palo Alto, 2:12 J, and Stambonl, 2:12$.
The breeding farms on which these trotters were foaled and
bred —Palo Alto, San Mateo, Pleasanton and Rosemead — are
among the famous of the kind in America. On these farms
are Electioneer and Benton, Wilkes Bnd Sultan, besides oth-
er crcat sires, and among the dams are descendants of Abdal-
lah, Hambletonian, Lexington, Boston, Harry Clay, George
Wilke=, Lndy Benton, Clay Pilot. George M. Patchen, Gold,
smith Maid, Alice Carneal and Waxy. The direct lines of
thoroagh blood and the careful selection in the mating have
on each of the3e breeding farms satisfactorily demonstrated
that the supremacy of thoroughbred blood is of uppermost
importance in the breeding of trotter?, not only in the in;
Btances of these that are named herein, but in the full pro-
duct of bII these farms, and in the many sons and daugh-
ters throughout the State and at the East which were bred
thereupon. Taken altogether, the method of breeding
adopted on these great California farms, of themselves, stand
as invincible proof in support of thoroughbred breeding.

It should be borne in mind that the breeding of trotters is
comparatively, of recent date. Under the old method the
troiter waB discovered only tbrongh performance, and then
followed tbe training for the tuif, such as it was, agreeably
to the fancy of owners and trainers. The horse was aged be-
fore he was put upon the torf. Tbe idea of breeding trotters
was not entertained, tbe trotting of colts and bllies was not
thought of. It was the individual that developed speed that
was prized; little heed was paid to pedigree; performance
alone gave the value. Of these performers Lady Suffolk was
the most famous. But since her time the breeding of trotters
has grown into practical methods, the sjme as the breeding
of thoroughbreds and the results are before the world, to
approve the system in the gradual lowering of records, from
the 2-.40 speed, down to that of classes of 2.30. 2;20, and per-
formances such as those of Axtell, Palo Alto, Stamboul, Reg-
al Wilkes, Jay-Eye-Sae, Sunol and Maud S. And now tbe
belief is strong with experienced horsemen that the mile will
yet be trotted in two minutes. Another thing to consider,
to wit; Under the old system trotters were held in low value,
compared with tbe estimation in which they are now held.
Less than $2,000 would have bought the best irotter on the
turf forty years ago, and the average trotter commanded a
sum only iu the hundreds. A yearling or a two or three-
year-old, was not in the market. Even old turfmen were
amazed and dumbfounded when Bonnerpaid $30. uf 0 forDex-
ter, and Bonner himself was so confident that the 2:17J could
not he beaten that he made public offer of a larger sum for
the trotter that should beat it. He failed to make his offer
good when the event occurred. Gloster, Earns, Lulu and
Goldsmith Maid subsequently lowered the record, and since
their day, it has been lowered down to the 2:0S| of Maud S —
which will be further lowered during the comiag year, as
many think. Since the Fale of Dexter, a little more than
twenty years ago, Bale* of trotters have been made at prices
from low thousands all the way up to $105,000 — the price paid
for Axtell. Large sums— from $20,000 to above $50,000—
have been paid for yearlings and for two-year-olds. It is
not for the individual or the extraordinary performance, that
these grand sums are paid.

It is mainly on account of tbe pedigree and blood for
breeding as welt as the turf. The establishment of the
standard, by which to rate trotters, is another consequence
of tbe new system adopted of recent years, and it also adds
to the valuation of the trotter. To the introduction of thor-
oughbreds in the breeding of trotters, in place of the old sys-
tem of rating them solely by their performances upon the
tnrf, must be attributed the great improvement in the
horses, and this improvement earries with it tbe establish-
ment of breeding farms, the employment of intelligent and
skilled trainers and expert drivers, thereby causing improve-
ment in the men as well as in the horse. Furthermore, these
breeding farms add materially to the industries and to tbe
wealth of the country. The aunnal sales aggregate millions.
The improvement in horses is of incalculable benefit and the
better treatment of the animals is not to be overlooked. In
reckoning the sum of all this good, in distinctive and in pub-
lic aspeot, the conviction is irresistible that thoroughbred
breeding in trotters is the better method and produces the
superior trotter in every respect. The proofs are all to this
purport, and there are no proofs to sustain the contrary
proposition.

What AxteU's Owners Think.

"Were you surprised at Sunol's performance of 2: 10$ Sat-
urday?" asked a correspondent of W. P. Ijams, one-fonrth
owner of Astell, the $105,000 stallion.

'"Not iu the least," said Mr. Ijams. *'I was neither sur-
prised nor chagrined. At the Chicago horse show last week,
Conly, Doble and myself were talking over the matter, and
we concluded it more than likely that Sunol would lower
AxteU's record of 2:12. There were many reasons for this
belief. We had been appraised of tbe care that v. a-f Oeiog
taken of the track and the great amouLt of work put on it.
The month that has intervened since Axtell made his great
record here is virtually like trotting the tidy in her four- year-
old form, from the fact that while the raw autumn weather
precludes working hordes iu this climate, the Cabforuians can
work their horses until January 1st. Sunol haB had steady
work for the p*st month, and this, with perfect conditions of
track and weather, made it possible to lower the record. I
do not say this in detr^ctiun of Sunol, for she is a great per-
former.

"But it does not detract from AxteU's marvelous perform-
ance. The ease with which he made his mite, tioishiug with
but one light touch of tbe whip Hnd cooling off without a
puff on his legs or a sign of distress, shows that he could
have trotted the mi e much faster if he bad been driven out.
On the other baud you will notice) that Sunol bad tbe gad
from the ttree-quarter post to ibe wire, and was driven bard
for the finish " Speaking of Axtell, Mr. Ijams said that the
colt would be here Wednesday for the winter. Early in April
Dotle's string of horses, consisting of about twenty of tbe
ripest horses i<i the country, will be broogbt here for work.
Doble will come here with his borses, and will aUo work Ax-
tell preparatory to takiDg him down the grand circuit, which
opens at Detroit in June. Mr. Ij*ms suys be has every rea-
son to believe Axtell will sbo*v great speed next
sure to be a drawing card on the grand circuit ul
else he may go.

Prolific Improved Cattle.

We hear it charged at times, says" the editor of 'he Iowa
Homestead, that improved cattle are shy breeders. While it
Utrne that some of them ere, just as are some grades and
scruns and that the tendency to shy breeding runs in fami-
?iesonr experience has been that on the average onr short
horns are even more prolific than oar grades. We have on
one of the Homestead farms had three pairs of twins from
hTgh Died shorthorn cows, dropped in a little over a year In
eight years handling of grades, on the s»me farm there ha,
befn but one pair of twins. One of these cases of twins was
from a veiy fine bred Young Mary, twelve years old, hat has
now four living calves under twenty-seven months old. An-
other "«» from a Miss Kamsden, ten years old, and another
horn her daughter, seven years old. We bad a despised
Seventeen that drooped a calf Nov. 5, 188o. another Sept

wHhinlwo weeks k calving. March. 18S9, and was thirteen
Tears old when she died. Her calf of July, 1S87 had a calf
earlv iu 1889. We might mention a good many cases of rapid
multiplication of shorthorns and other improved breeds, both
S oar own herds and those of other breeders We have said
enough to show that the vice of shy breeding does not depend
„, the breed, bat on other considerations altogether. As a
rule good milkers are prolific breeders while cows with a
m isculine look are shy and unprofitable breeders. The first
consideration in a cow is that she should be a cow and have
the feminine, motherly liok and the wide Bank that indicates
maternity, and not the tucked, trim appearance of the typical
show heifer.

Breeding Draught Horses.

A paper on this subject was read bv Mr. Ferguson Les-
sendrnm at a meeting of the Stralhbagie Farmers Club.
The subject, he ssid, the breeder has in view is to produce
an animal that will yield him the greatest profit, and looking
to the fact that it cost as much to tear a biid beast as a good
one the first priuciple that "like produces like" ought to be
well remembered iu laving the foundation of a breeding
stock Only the best material that can be consistently pro-
cured should be selected; rejecting entirely those animalB
showing hereditary unsoundness. Where a foundation al-
ready exists, much mat be done to improve the produce
by judicious m iting— selecting bores strong in points in
which mares are weak, and vice versa. More consideration
than has lately been given will be necessary in respect to
shape and constitu'ion of horses. Mares ought not to be
served until tbey are three years old, and unless they are
strong even then may be wisely left to another year. Before
service particular attention should be paid to the stale of
the nure's system, for unless tbey are in a healthy state it
is useless to expect them to breed.

At the ordinarv season they have every likelihood to be de-
ranged more or less, seeing that then they are at the hardest
work of the whole year, and naturally consuming a maxinran
of food. Where a derangement is expected to exist, the ani-
mal should be thrown idle or comparatively so, and measures
taken at once to restore her to fecundity. Prevention is al-
ways better than cure and to avoid such derangement, ought
to be supplemented in part by mashes of a laxative nature
and a little nitre given twice a week during the winter sea-
son. Too often the want of produce is laid to the horse's ac-
count, when the blame lies wholly witn the mare. In select-
ing a stallion it is a penny wise and pound foolish policy to
employ any but the best that can be had, unless of course,
the termB are all the more extreme. Ten dollars more paid
for a right good horse may be expected to be returned many
times over when the produce comes to maturity. When
stallions of sufficient merit cannot be bad — thiB applies par-
ticularly to our State — breeders should join together and
use their concentrated efforts to procure what they want by
either hiring or purchasing. By hiring a hor6e a chance can
be had every season as desired, but unless a guarantee of a
certain number of mires can be got up a really good horse
cannot be had exoept on extravagant terms. It is essential
also to have a limit to a number, for if a horBe chance to find
favor and get in repute, the consequences would be that he
would get over-employed and in proportion less Bure.

In purchasing, tbe great difficulty lies in securing o proper
animal; the surest investment would be a horse with an es-
tablished reputation as a getter. When mares are known to
be in foal their work and feeding will need to be carefully
regulated. After foaling they must get a liberal allowance of
food of a sacculent nature to induce be flow of milk, and as
soon as the weather and season will permit be put out to
grass Before wetming. the foal shonld be handled and made
acca-ttomed to stall feeding. Foals ooght to have Ibeir food
given them sparingly and frequently, only as much beiDg
put in at a time as they will take clean up They ought to
have plenty of exercise when the weather is dry, and when
shot in for tbe night they should be put in airy places. As
to the financial aKpect, 7 '. pounds of a well balanced mixture
of oats, barley, bean and bran, has been fonnd to be suffici-
ent daily allnwunce for a colt during tbe winter months, the
cost of which is nearly 75 cents per week. Take service at
$10 and $10. and allow $10 more for slips, gives $30; grass
'or mare and foal $25; twenty-eight weeks for winter feeding

Favoring American Meat.
A strong movement has" been set on foot by English butch-
ers to have removed the restrictions upon the ^importation of
American cattle Of a late meeting of the Mancester Sal-
ford and District Butchers' Association, a reporter says, ihe
deliberations lasted a long time, and nearly all th? speakers
condemned the present law as unnecessary and onjust^ t be-
in* pointed ont that tbe importation of cattle from America
was increasing enormously, that the animals were particular-
ly strong and free from disease.and that compulsory slaughter
at the different points of debarkation was unfair, alike to
American farmers, English dealers and consumers and trades
.eneraUy It was unanimously agreed.that the restriction
ought immediately to be removed in the interest of all part es
and th.t tbe strongest measures must be taken with the ob-
ject of effecting the desired reform." It has been patent to
even casual observers from the beginning that tbe charges of
diseases among American cafle were for an ulterior motive
and their exclusion as live cattle was merely a measure for
tbe protection of English farmers. British-American cat le
rom ranges adjacent to our own are admitted free of restric-
tion- and it is plain that if a cise of disease were found
among the thousands of our cattle taken ther- we would
hear of it, as all these cattle are inspected. The ban amounts
simply to a hardship upon American owners witbou effect-
ing benefit to any British scbj-act.-N. W, Live Slock Jonr-
nal.

Importing Butter.

Eeports shew that in the first t.B days of October Los
Angeles received five carloads of butter from the EaBt and
hss imported 227,000 pounds of butter in the past six months.
These things ought not to be. During the flush days of the
boom, when we pot in our time laying out town lots build-
ing hotels and entertaining an eager throng of tenderfeet,
there was some excuse for the importation of supplies
These are somberer times now, and we don t teel that it is
as much of a disgrace to raiee alfalfa and keep cows as we
did in those d ivs. When Los Angeles is importing nearly
twentv tons of butter a month, there is no sense talking a-
bout the country's not having any opening for men of mod-
erate means. Good dairy land, plenty of it, can be bought
at reasonable prices, and good hotter is sure of a market.
There is lots of room in Southern California for fancy fruit
growing, and the cultivation of the tig, tbe olive and the or-
ange have an intellectual charm; but there is also ample op-
portunity for the profitable production of such staples as
bolter, eggsaDd corn. Let any man on our valley ands
bring to general farming the same ent rprise and skill that
bas made orange-growing so snccfc=sfnl iu snch localities as
Riverside, and he may be sure of a comfortable living, with
a priceless lot of climate thrown in.— Ontario Eecord.

Why and How Wool Varies.

There is a great deal of difference in the climate for pro-
ducing wool, whatever is said to the contrary. This is
demonstrate 1 beyond the shadow cf a doubt. Some of the
New Engiand mills pay a slightly higher price for wools com-
ing from the region that embraoes southern Ohio, western
Pennsylvania and portions of western Virginia, than any
oiher part of the United States. There is a texture to it, a
slightly different feel which manufacturers understand. There
is a chanoe in the wool if sheep are transported from those
regions to other portions of the United States which are a
little drier, whether it be directly due to the breed. One of
the manufacturers of New En gland said he had been in the
habit of buying wool of a certain farmer in southern Ohio.
As the farmer's family grew np and swarmed one of the sons
went into Kansas and carried with him a portion of the flock
of the old farm. Tbe manufacturer bought wool of both
father and son, and gave me a sample not merely from the
same flock, but the same individual sheep, taken two or
three years apart, one when the sheep was an inhabitant of
Ohio, and one when it was an inhabitant of a pretty dry por-
tion of KauBaB. Tbey were colored in the same dye, the
same mordant was used, the same vat. and yet there was a
big difference iu the wo .Is. A gen leman of large experience
^Virginia told me almost precisely the same story. He him-
Belf bad attempted the growing of sheep with the purpose of
getting wnol just as good in one region as he had got in an-
other, and failed.

There is consideralle difference in the quality of wool
produced in different clima'es that is due to the climate it-
self, directly or indirectly, and tbe food that is produced in
that climate It may be brasher, there may be a certain
harshness about it, and it may not manufacture quite so
well. Now, while sheep are long continued to be bred in the
poorer of these climates, they deteriorate unless the blood is
kept good by an infusion from the better regions. And that
is what will give some regions perpetually an advantage in
certain kinds of stock growing over others; it will always be
to their profit to produce animals to go somewhere else, just
exactly the same as farmers living in one region may grow
seed grain to be used in another.— Prof. W. E. Brewer.

Science in Agriculture.

There is many a man on tbe farm even in this enlightened
age who fcigDs to believe there is nothing to be learned'.from
newBpaners about farming. But by and bye it is a noticeable
fact that theBe men get on but poorly in this world. What
they tbey do accomplish is by brute force and awkwardneBS.
When we nlated that Mr. Coulehan of Wheat Ridge, had by
scientific methods prodnoed five hundred bushels of potatoes
from the single acre of ground many of these old fogy fellows
jumped up to say that it had not b en done and there was
no BCience iu agricultural. Said one of theBe wise fellows:
"I have raised pertaterB these live aod twenty years, and will
say the only way to get a big yield is toplant in tbe full of the
moon. And even a hundred bushels to the acre is a big orop. "
Peter Henderson says a well read man can go to farming
and in two years can learn more than one of these moon far-
mers can learn in a lifetime. Ignorance and prejudice form
a shell that is hard to break. An intelligent farmer can ac-
oomplisbla good deal in a short space of time and on a small
amount of ground. He knew as SBparagns grower near At-
lanta whose crop gave fcr three successive yearB a net profit
of $1,500 per acre; and as instanoing departures from old
methods. citeB the case of a farmer residing near Roonester
who, half a dozen years ago, timidly made the attempt of
growiug a ball-acre of bis fifty-acre farm in vegetables for tbe
villsgo market. His venture was bo satisfactory that he
gradually increased his srea, bo that be now uses thirty acres
mostly in growiug cabbage for the Rochester market.

He further informed me that the net profit from tbe cab-
bage garden last year was $6,000, or a little over $200 per
acre, and that it wa6 not a very good year for cabbage at that.
' Andfor that encouragement of those not "to the manor born,"

the same authority gives following case as being within his
personal observation: "A college bred man of twenty-i lght,
failing in health from office work, purchased a farm of sixty
acres at Nortbport, L. I. The same year he tried a few acres
in vegetables and small f ruits, which he found sale for in the
small village of Northpo.it at more satisfactory prices. I was
on his farm in tbe snmmor of 1882, and I must say for a
man who got his knowledge almost wholly from books, his
venture looked as if it would be a complete success."— Denver
Field and Farm.

Keeping Stock in Good Condition.

The profit of farming, says the American Cultivator, as we
have ofleo remarked, depends more in these days upon the
kind and condition of farm stock than auv other one factor.
At tbe approach of winter especially the condition of stock
becomes a matter of the greatest importance. It used to be
common to let animals run down in flesh at this season, not
purposely, but because the farmer thought that as long as
cattle and sheep could get a living on Irosted grass, it would
be a waste to take them into the barn and feed them. But it
is much more easy to retain fat and flesh upon animals than
it is to regain either after a period of starvation. During the
ronnino-down process there is weakening of vitality, and es-
pecially1 of the digestive organs, until at last even an abun-
dance of tbe most nutritious food does the animal no good.
AnimalB past their prime and whose vitality is naturally
small, suffer worst. We have seen old shtep and even old
cows get so poor in tbe fall that the most tender care daring
the winter wonli not save them until spring.

These are extreme cases, of crarse, but it is reasonable to
suppose that any falling off in condition must result in some
loss. Not that animals, especially those intended for breed-
ing, should be fattened. Fat is not thrift. It is the hearty
and in young animals growing condition that should at all
times be foBtered. There should always be an abundance of
nourishing food, enough to properly distend the stomach,
and give the d'gestive organs abundant exercise. This is es-
pecially necessary for animals bearing young, and that for a
reason not often considered. The ability to feed well, impor-
tant as it is known to be, is largely hereditary. We see this
in all animals bred especially for fattening characteristics.
Take the most thoroughly bled Shorthorn cow, herself an
excellent feeder, falling into tbe hands of a cireliRB, negligent
farmer, and half-starved during the time she IB bearing her
oalf, and what is tbe resnlt? Nine times out of ten she will
bear a scrub, inheriting not the thrifty characteristics of
either parent, but fearing through life the condiiions impos-
ed on it during its prenatal existence by the starvation and
suffering of its dam.

We have been much impressed while visiting fairs this year
with the fact that the excellence of stock, no matter how
thoroughly it is bred, mnst after all mainly depend upon the
care and skill given to caring for it. Men sometimes say
that people usually make for themselves the conditions
of life. If this is true anywhere, it is especially so in stock
growing. A careful, skillful and intelligent farmer will have
good stock, even though be do not indulge in fancy and
expensive strains of thoroughbred and registered animals.
What he has will constantly aud steadily improve in all desir-
able qualities. Such a farmer is blind to bis own best inter-
ests, if in these days he doeB not avail himself of the progress
that others have made, by purchasing, or at least using,
pedigreed animals. But iu the olden timeB, when pedigrees
were unknown, the difference in farm stock of the good
farmer and of the lazy and caret bs one was nearly as marked
as it is now. The go id farmer's Btock grows better, while
the other as steadily grows poorer.

Even for milk production, us is well known to most farm-
ers, a hearty, thrifty condition is quite as important as it is
for the production of fat. No cow was ever a good milker, or
of much value for dairy purposes, that was not a good feeder.
We may say the same of any animal bearing young The
size, vigor and vitality of the unborn animal are fixed by Ihe
conditions of its dam while bearing it.

Many valuable colts sre lost every year for the want of a
little care. Hundreds die for lack of condition if colts are fed
liberally and kept growing constantly from birth, there is not
mnchdanger tobefeared Iromworms. Yetitis always best to
be on the safe side, and use all harmless means to prevent eve-
ry form of sickness and suffering. Some Kentucky breeders
practise mixing a little pulverized copperas with salt and
placing it in boxes where the colts can help themselves as
they like Two tablespoonfuls of pulverized copperas to a
pint of salt is sufficient. Horses suffering from worms can
be cured in time by feeding a teaspoonful of powered gen-
tian every night for two or three weeks. It can be mixed
with oats or turned down the throat from a bottle. Copper-
as and gentian is an excellent tonio. Breeders will do well
to keep a small quantity on hand. Get the druggist to put
np four ounces each, compounding in his motar so as to mix
it thoroughly. Put the powder in a small box or wide-
mouthed glasB jar, label it, and when needed give to grown
horses a teaspoonful in their feed at night, A yearling will
require about one third as much aB a grown animal, aud
weanlings a much smaller quantity.

Notes.

It iB estimated that $1,000,000 will be invested in irrigat-
ing ditches in New Mexico this year.

Mr. Appleton's Jersey cow, Eurotisama, is now undergo-
ing a yearly test for butter, and the Jersey Bulletin tolls us
that for the first twenty weeks she averaged 22 pounds 4
ounces of butter per week — a total for the twenty weeks of
490 pounds. At this rate she will make her weight in bntter
daring tbe year.

If scrub stock does not pay try something better. The
success of stook raising depends on the breed. A steer oi
beef-producing breed will weigh one thousand pounds, while
a scrub steer of the same age will not reach one-half that
weight. Tbe large difference Bhowa where the loss ocours
from the use cf the scrub.

James Niohols of Jackson Valley, has purchased a Jersey
cow and calf at Sacramento, and two thoroughbred Holstein
calves at Gait, and removed them to his ranch. A. D. West-
morel md, also of Jackson Valley, got a thoroughbred Berk-
shire boar a short time ago. Jackson Valley promises soon
to become the home of thoroughbreds of all classes.

In a three days' trial of dairy cows at the Nebraska State
Fair were six Holsteins, one of which was Bick, and two Jer-
seys. Nip, a Jersey, made 3.08 pouudB of batter; Katbriue,
a Jersey, made 2 03 pounds; EmpreBS Josephine 3d, Hol-
stein, made 5 15 pounds; Hortense, Holstein, made 4 43
pounds; Blanche S., Holstein {sickl, made 2.29 pounds;
Jewell, Holstein, made 5.56 pounds; Rijaneta, Holstein.
made 5.8S pouods, and Jewell 2d, Holstein, made 4.39
pounds pi batter in the three days' test.

BILLIARDS.

We have received a copy of the book entitled The Mc-
Cleery Method of Billiard Playing, just issued by Payot, Up-
ham & Company, and in justice to the noted expert most
say that it is the most perfect work ever isBned on the sub-
ject. The long lectures in the old books have been left out,
and excellent illustrations, to which are added short instruc
tions, are published instead. The book is a valuable acqui-
sition alike to amatenr and professional, and can be pur-
chased for the smill amount of one dollar. Professor
McCleery is the manager of the Baldwin Hotel Billiard Par-
lor, the most handsome in the United States, and every
evening his exhibitions are eagerly watched by the billiard
enthusiasts who nightly throng the rooms.

J. R. Heiser has commenced praotioe for the proposed
g'eat handicap balk line tournaments for January next. He
scored a ran of 174 Nov. 2.

Sohaefer won every game he played in the fourteen inch
balk line handicap which was played in St. Louis during the
Winter of 18SS. The handicap was in points on the string,
Dot in lines as proposed for the coming great tournament.
There were ten contestants in the St. Louis tournament. It
was great sport for Schaefer, but very uninteresting for the
spectators and the tournament was, financially, a complete
failure. Will the New York tonrnament be a failure also?

Frank Ives defeiled Thomas Gallagher in Brunswick Bil-
lard Hall Chicago last week, in a bve nights contest at 11 inch
balk-line billard, 1 500 op in blooks of 300. Score, 1.500 to
1 340; grand average by Ives, 10.20-93; his best Bingle average
15.1-23.

It is announced thai Carter has forfeited to Ives the em-
blem he won last year in the Chicago lightweight tournament
at 14-inch balk line billiards, on account of Carter's refusal
to accept Ives' chellenge, recently issued, for a contest for
the emblem.

Al Smith and Richard Roche announce their intention of
getting up a cushion cirroorn tournament for this city,
wherein they will hang np $5,000 for the experts to battle
for. They name dates in Febroary, should they succeed in
organiziog tbe tournament.

Last Friday evening there was a large attendance at tbe
Cafe Royal, to witness the game betweon J. F. B McCleery,
of this city, and Bjn Saylor of San Jose. The match waB for
$1,000 a side, even np, and was the result of a game which
took place some weeks ago, in which Saylor proved the vic-
tor. Iu the Friday night game he was not in it, for "Mac"
proved to be in grard form, the wind up BhowiDg the score
to be McCleery 1,000, Saylor 404. Tbirly-two iDniDgs were
necessary to complete the fame, and the highest m n
evening was made by the winner, 612 points.

SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY, NOV. 30. 1889.

In Years Gone By-

WBITTEN FOB THE BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN.

Aboat two weeks since, immediately preceding the Brst
advertised trial of Sunol, Palo Alto, Starnbcul and others, for
the avowed intention of lowering their records, some friends
and myself were arguing the pros and cons of the subject, my
friends thinking that Palo Alto was the only one liable to ac-
complish the task, while I contended that both would lower
their records, but the filly would make the greatest reduc-
tion. Snch has proven true, still I do not take much credit
to myself in consequence. From record smashing perform-
ances we drifted to the subject of modern trotting race horses,
I contending that no trotter of the present day was quite as
good a race horse as some old-time stars of the trotting firma-
ment, which I will attempt (o show.

Since Sunol, Axtell, Allerton, Lillian Wilkes and Faust, the
great three year old trotters, have appeared before the public,
various and sundry horse writers, hoise papers and horse
authorities have endeavored, with more or less success, to
enlighten the world regarding the only true reason of their
greatness. Many articles, ingeniously compounded, have
been published showing beyond a doubt the true cause of it
all. In some instances Electioneer did it all; in others, Geo.
Wilkes was solely accountable; while others knew that the
thoroughbred cross carried them to the front. I suppose
these people know something about it — not much, though.

None of these gentlemen have told us how the "sure
enough" trotter can be bred with uniformity. Senator Stan-
ford says, however, that he has arrived at & point where he
■can point to a colt a few months old and say, "Barring acci-
dents, that colt will certainly trot in 2:20." A man has the
breeding problem down to a fine issue when he can breed
the 2:20 trotter with regularity. Let ns inquire into the
breeding of the 2:20 and better performers of long ago, the
trotters that went to the front and stayed there for several
seasons. The history of some of them reads like a romance.
Breeders of this day and age would laugh at a great cam-
paigner being bred that way now, but the fact remains that
no campaigner of recent days has shown the ability to stay
hard races year after year, like some of these old time horses.
I will give a sketch of some of them, as it is interesting
reading.

I will commence with the grey gelding Hopeful, 2:14£. He
He was foaled in 1866, and was 15 hands high. He was sired
by Godfrey Patchen and his dam was by the Brigham horse.
The admirers of the game little horse were to be counted by
thousand?, his electric bursts of speed year after year arous-
ing to the highest pitch of enthusiasm assembled thousands
at all the principal trotting tracks of the East. In 1873 Hope-
ful began his trotting career, and in 1874 became a prominent
candidate for turf honors, scoring a record of 2:21 at Fleet-
wood Park, then considered a very slow track. He was pur-
chased shortly afterwards by Mr. Gillender, of New York, for
$25,000.

He closed the season of 1875 with a record of 2:17£, at
that time equalled or excelled by only six horses. In 1876
he was turned out. In 1877 his fastest heat was 2:18^, but
1878 was the crowning season of his turf career.

At Minneapolis, MiDn., Sept. 6th, against time, he placed
to his credit his present record, and at Chicago, October 12tb,
placed to his credit a record to a wagon which has never been
equaled; the fastest first heat, fastest second heat, fastest
third heat and fastest three consecutive heats, excelling the
best previous record four seconds, viz; 2-16$, 2:17, 2:17.

At St. Louis, Mo., against time, although losing, he trotted
four heats, 2:15£, 2:151, 2:15, 2:15$, a most wonderful per-
formance, though not a technical record.

In 1879 he was not in as good form, and was only able to
show a mile in 2:161 as his best performance for that year.
In 1880, although showing all his former speed, he was

obliged to meetjn the free for all classes St. Julien and Dar-
by, and was not often a winner. His best race was at Roch-
ester, N. T., where, in the free for all class, he won the first
two heats in 2:151 and 2:161, but loBt the race to Darby.

In 1S81, although starting in eleven races, he won but one,
his fastest heat for the season being 2:18J. During 1832 he
was not on the turf, owing to the death of his owner, Mr. A.
W. Richmond, but his driver, Dan Mace, drove him over
Fleetwood track, early in the season, a repeat mile in 2:18,
and claims to have been able to drive him two or three sec-
ondB faster. During his trotting career he has been placed
first in forty nine races, winning 1S9 heats in 2:30, or tetter,
and in purses 586,400.

Darby was a brown gelding, 15 banc's and 1 inch high;
foaled in 1871; Bired by Delmonico; dam by Glencoe. When
a colt he was an ungainly thing, with a mixed gait, and
scarcely considered worth bis feed, and his owner traded
him to a neighbor for a calf. One day he struck a trot that
surprised his driver, and with proper weighting he soon be-
gan to trot fast. He was subsequently Bent to New York and
became the property of Mr. Wallace, and was placed in the
hands of Dan Maoe.

In 1876 he was brought out and obtained a record of 2:36^
In 1877 this was reduced to 2:25. In 1878 he closed the sea-
son with a record of 2:23. The season of 1889 was his beBt
and he won every race in which he started. At Utica, N. Y ,
August 22d, he dropped the first heat to Dick Swiveler, and
in the Becond was laid up too long, Swiveler beating him out
by a head in 2:18, Swiveler's best record. The third heat, not
being a fast scorer, he was given the word a length behind,
and the pace was so fast that at the half he was still the last_
horse. Here Mace pulled out and sent him to the front, trot,
ling the third quarter in 32$ seconds — a 2:10 gait — and cut-
ting down the others, collared Swiveler at the three-quarter
pole. The race home was for blood, record was no object,
but Darby landed a winner in 2:16$ (his record) and the re-
maining heats in 2:20 and 2:19£.

In 1880 he was driven by Mr. James Dustin, and in the
free-for-all was obliged to meet St. Julien, and of course
could not beat the then king of the trotting turf.

In 1881, owirg to the death of his owner, he was not trot-
ted, la 18S2 he was placed in the late John Murphy's hands,
but his speed seemed to have left him. He was afterward
handled by Mace, but never "rounded to" his old form.
During his turf career he is credited with winning first
money in thirty-three races, with ninety-three heats tetter
than 2:30, and in purses $43,680.

Chailey Ford was a grey gelding, 15 hands 3 inches high;
foaled in 1873; sired by McKisson's Grey Eagle. This horse
began his turf career under the name of Billy Bastader, and
in 1878 got a record of 2:33$.. In 1879 this was reduced to
2:20$. In 1880, at Chicago, July 23rd, he placed to his
credit his present record, 2:16£, aod at Hartford, Coud., Au-
gust 25tb, won a sixth heat in 2:19$, being at that time the
fastest sixth heat on record. In 1881 he trotted sixteen
races, winning seven, his best heat beiDg 2:18|.

In 1S82 he was not on the turf. The records show that he
was first in thirty-eight races, with seventy-seven heats won
in 2.30 or better, and in purses $42,350. He was a remark-
ably game horse; no race was too long for him. and when
heats were split he was liable to win in most any company.
He was owned by Jerry Monroe of Chicago, at one time a
wealthy man, but through reverses he was reduced to abject
poverty and was forced to sell Ford, of whom he thought a
great deal. It is said that Jerry, after reaching the foot of
^ife'o nigged hill, was one day walking through the streets of
Chicago when he saw his old favorite tied in front of an ele-
gant place, shivering from the cold. Instinctively he drew
the shabby overcoat from his own back and placed it over
the horse. Then scanning the house for a moment, he hes-
itatingly ascended the steps and rang the bell. The gentle-

man of the house responded and asked the old man what he
wanted. Jerry pointed to the horee, aud said, "He's cold; I
^ate to see him cold; I owned him once— years ago— and it
kind of makes me feel bad to see him neglected." The owner
went down the steps and put a blanket around the horse,
while Jerry went od, happy in the thought that the old horse
was comfortable. Many a man could take a lesson from old
Jerry Munroe.

Captain Lewis, the ''plowhorse, " as he is often called, was
a chestnut gelding, sixteen bandB high, fcaled in 1874, sired
by a horse called Spink, dam a mare of unknown blood,
called Lady Jones. In 18S2, at Ljous, N. Y , June 7tb, he
trotted his first race, winning the 3:00 class. Time, 2:35,
2:33, 2:35|. His career from this time was most remarkable.
He was then owned by Mr. A. H. To war, of Lyons, who pur-
chased him of a farmer for $300. The farmer bad used the
horse on his farm at all kinds of work, from plowing to pull-
ing a mowing machine. Mr. Towar shortly afterward sold
him to Mr. B, L. Sheldon, of Rochester, N. Y., for $6,000,
and he was placed in competent hands for training. At
Buffalo, on the third of August, he won the 2:30 class in
straight heats. Time, 2:22£, 2;25*, 2:22$.

At Utica, N Y., he repeated bis victory in the same class,
best time 2:24$.

At Springfield, Mass., Sept. 6th, he obtained his record of
2:20£.

This horse was the sensation of the year. In all his races
up to that time, he had never lost a race, nor ever been
forced to Bhow his best clip, and it was confidently asserted
that he could go a mile in 2.15. Unfortunately, however, he
had been hurt at one time by having one of his hind leg
come in contact with a mowing machine, and although it
was believed it would not trouble him, he could not stand
work when he had to go miles better than 2:20, and he broke
down.

John H, 2:20, was a bay gelding, foaled 1866, sired by
Blumberg's Black Bashaw. In 1872, he began his turf
career, and in 1875 had obtained a record of 2:23. This was
reduced in 1876 to 2:21$. In 1877, he knocked off the frac-
tion, leaving it 2:21. In 187S, at Hartford, Conn, August
23rd, he made his record. After that, although campaigned
several seasons, he was not a prominent winner, although
in his eleven years upon the lurf he gathered in $21,550:
was first in twenty-three races, winning seventy-eight heats
in 2:30 or better. He trotted to the pole with Lady Martin
to a road wagon in 2:231, and with a running mate a mile in
2:16.

Lulu 2:15, was a little brown mare about fifteen hands one
inch high. She was sired by Alexander's Norman, her dam
being by imp. Hooten. She was bred by Col. Crockett, of
Kentucky, up to five years of age. Lulu filled the place of
saddle horse for Col. Crockett. She was afterward placed in
the hands of a professional trainer, and during the fall of
1870, or when Lulu was six years old she trotted her first
race at the fair of the Scott County Agricultural Association,
which was held at Davenport, Iowa. The purse was $1,000
with five starters, and Lulu woo the first heat in 2:35, but
lost the race. The same year she appeared at Iowa City,
Keokuk, and Canton, 111. At the lower place she trotted
against the stallion LogaD, beiDg defeated, although she won
the first heat in 2:27 1. She done nothing in 1871. The fol.
lowing year she waB sold to Joseph Hooker, of New York
City, aud her name changed to Lulu. Her bursts of speed
were wonderful, bat she was too nervoas to be reliable.

At Prospect Park, September, 1S73, she beat a field of four
good ones, the best time being 2:241. In 1874 she started at
Cleveland, in the 2:24 class, and won, lowering her record to
2:20^. She was handled at that time by a driver named
Green, Two weeks later, at Rochester, she placed herself in
the very front rank of trotters by capturing a thii
2:16|. She was afterward beaten in much slower

Nov. 30

1875 Green commenced the season with the mare at Cleve-
land, where she met Goldsmith Maid and American Girl, fin-
ishing second; the Maid won. At Buffalo, a week later, she
defeated Nettie, bv Rysdvk's Hambletonian, driven by John
E. Turner, in straight heats; time, 2:221, 2:18}, 2:15. At
Rochester, five days after her race with Nettie, she met a great
field of horses in the free-for-all. They were Goldsmith
Maid, American Girl and Nettie. It may not be amiss to
give an acconnt of that race, written by an eye-witness.

"The Maid was a hot favorite. In the first heat American
Girl made the trotting as far as the three-quarter pole at a rate
of spsed which, if kept up to the finish, would have carried
her to the wire in 2:14, but there she gave it up, and Gold-
smith Maid went to the front, winning in 2:15J. Iu the sec-
ond heat the Maid led the way until reaching the home-
stretch, when Lula began to close the gap o£ five lengths
which had separated her from the leaders at the half-mile,
and catching the leader at the distance stand, a neck and
neck contest ensued to the wire, Lula finally winning by
little more than a head in 2:16J. The third heat was a still
more signal triumph for Lula. Making a bad break around
the first turn and another on the backstretch, she was seven
lengths behind when the Maid reached the half in 1:07}, bat,
squaring herself, she seemed to fly rather than trot, so agile
and graceful and swift were her movements, and passing the
Maid at the distance stand, she won the heat by two lengths
in 2:15£, having trotted thelast half in 1:06. In the conclud
ing heat Lula had the best of the start, and at the quarter
Bhe was two lengths ahead in 34 seconds. The half was
reached in 1:07 J, and she trotted the third quarter in 32|
seconds, a 2:11 gait. J net as she turned into the homestretch,
however, she made a bad break, and Goldsmith Maid assumed
the lead. Lula caught well, and settling quickly to her work,
another desperate contest between the rival leaders ensued
down the stretch, and gamely the great Maid, then IS years
old, fought every inch of the way. There was no quitting,
no flogging, no giviDg up, but at the finish of the then fast.
est fourth heat, and of the second fastest race that had ever
been trotted, Goldsmith Maid was beaten under the wire a
head in 2:17."

Lula was afterwards bred to Gov. Sprague, and in 1881
foaled Lula Sprague. She afterwards was bred to Geo.
WilkeB, and in 1882 foaled Lula Wilkes. On January 20,
1SS4, she foaled a filly by Electioneer called Lalaneer, having
previously been purchased by Senator Stanford. It was
claimed at the lime that this filly Lulaneer could trot an
eighth of a mile in 26 seconds when she was eight monthB
old. Surely some of the produce of this mare should trot
fast, especially when bred to such horses as Electioneer, Geo.
Wilkes and Gov. Sprague.

M. Y. D., 2:20| (formerly Yellow Dock), was a chestnut
mare 15 hands 3 inches high, sired by Clark's Mohawk Jr.,
dam by Copperbottom. She was brought out in 1831 under
the name of Mohawk Maid, and at Cleveland, O., September
Gtb, gained a record of 2:29*. She was then purchased by a
patent medicine firm, and as an advertisement given the name
of Yellow Dock. In 1882 Bhe proved herself possessed of
great speed. At TJtica, N. Y , August 16th, she won the '29
class in straight heats, getting her record in the second heat.
At Providence, R. I., November 2d, she was driven by John
Murphy to the pole, with running mate, a matoh race against
Billy D. and mate, driven by Dan Mace. It was a race that
excited a great deal of interest, Billy D. having a record for
that way of going, of 2;14f, and about $75,000 changed hands
on the result. The mare won hands down in straight heats,
trotting the third in the unprecedented time of 2:11.

To not particularize further, I may mention Mountain Boy.
Few horses of to-day could beat him down the stretch, when
he was just at an edge. Col. Lewis, Bay Frank, Occident,
and dozens more were fust horses in their day. Their day iB
past! We now have more fast horses — the 2:30 list is getting
large — aDd it would seem that the breeding problem is beiDg
more nearly solved, though in the minds of Borne, rearing the
trotter is yet, to some extent, a lottery. How long will it be
before we will lo»k back upon the performances of Sunol,
Ax tell, Palo Alto, Stamboul and Norlaine, and say, "Yes,
very fair work for those days, but quite ordinary now!" In
my humble opinion it won't be very many years, and when
they reach 2:00, what then? It will cause 30 days talk and
wonderment— and then Bomebody will try to raise one that
can go a mile in 1:57}. If I live 25 years I expect to see sev-
eral horses bent 2:00. I am aware of the fact that many men
regard that as a foolish prediction, but I believe 25 years will
see its fulfillment. Nobody can disprove the assertion— they
can ridicule it, bnt ridicule isn't argument. It requires some
knowledge to produce good argument, while any ignoramus
can ridicule a subject upon which he is not competent to
speak. Harvey W. Peck.

Sydney, New Sooth Wales, Australia, Oct. 30, 1889.
Dear Breeder and Sportsman: The principal race meet-
ing in Australia since last communication was that of the
Victoria Amateur Turf Club, held at Caulfield, The Caul-
field course is picturesquely situated some ten miles from
Melbourne, Victoria, and holds the unenviable notoriety of
being the course on which perhaps the greatest smashing up
of horses and men ever occurred. It happened on the Caul-
field Cup of 1885, for which no les3 than 41 horses sported
silk. All went well until approaching a nasty turn into the
homestretch, when the field commenced to race. Two
horses collided, and in an instant fifteen horses and their
respective riders were mixed up in a heap. Donald Nichol-
son, one of Australia's most promising jockeys, was killed
on the spot, and several others were seriously maimed; and
then ocoarred the most peculiar finish ever seen in a race, as
a 30 to 1 chance. Grace Darling won, followed in by half a
dozen riderless horses, with saddles torn and some minus
bridles. After the accident an alteration was made at the
dangerous turn, but the smash-up frightened jockeys and
owners, and it was not for a couple of years afterwards that
some of the principal owners started their horses.

The big handicap this year, the Caulfield Cup, started
away with a dash which took the ordinary lot olean off their
legs. Bravo, who started favorite at 3 to 1, did not appear to
get going until too late to give him a chance of winning.
Rounding into the straight there were oDly four in it, The
Charmer, Meteor, Boz and Bravo, and after a well-fought bat-
tle Boz won from The Charmer, the favorite Bravo coming
with a brilliant rush within half a length of second horse.
Boz is a fairly performed five-year-old by Bosworth from Hy-
pathia, and his win proved a perfect godsend to the book-
makers. Had the favorite Bravo won, there would have been
weeping and gnashing of teeth amongBt the children of
Israel.

The sensational item in connection with the Caulfield Cup
was the backing of Moorebank for fabulous sums, and the
eagerness of the ''Books" to lay all the money they could
about him. We have in Australia a young squatter known
as the Victoria Plunger, a sort of miniature "Jubilee Juggins,"
and he dropped it in thousands of pounds upon the strength
of reputed wonderful private time trials. The amount of
money available at the back of the horse ran him up a boil-
ing favorite in the betting market, but he was backed by very
few, the general public who had not seen him flogging the
watch, not thinking him well enough performed to risk their
dollars on, and they did well, as Moorebank never showed
prominently at any portion of the race and finished last but
one.

Tom Hales still continues to be our leading jockey so far
as winning mounts are concerned, but it must not be lost
sight of that Hales has first mount in the first stable in the
colonies. Hales is the jockey Australia would like to see
mounted on Mr. White's pick in the English Darby, but in-
dependent of the fact that Tom is required in Australia, he
1b a martyT to asthma, and a winter in rainy and foggy Eng-
land would finish him off to a certainty. Out of ten mounts
at the Australian Jockey Club (Sydney) Spring Meeting, the
crack jockey scored 7 wins, 2 seconds and one out of place.
During the season of 1888-89 over £227,000 have been paid
away in stakes at the principal race meetings in Australia,
the Hon. James White taking the lion's share with £14,496.
Although low down on the list of winning sires the expa-
triated Darebin aud Sir Modred will no doubt prove of as
much, if not more, interest to Americans than our crack
sires. Musket : (deceased) his son Martini-Henry, Chester,
Goldsbrough, Swiveller and Grandmaster, each of whose
progeny scored over £5000. Three of Darebin's stock proved
winners, the unlucky three year old Australian Peer, from
Stockdove, heading the list with two races for £721; Grand
Chester, a two year old out of Esmeralda, winning £648; and
Maggie, a three year old from Margaret, won one race and
£315. Sir Modred can only answer for one winner, the
clinking two year old Antaeus, out of Nellie, who put
£580 into his owner's pocket.

Musket heads the list of winning sires with five winners
for the sum of £10,008 (independent of £9,410 won in New
Zealand), of which Carbine, the champion three year old of
his year, appropriated £5776 for nine wins. Additional hon-
or attaches to Musket from the fact that his son Martini-
Henry is second sire on the list with three two year old win-
ners— Rudolph, Sinecure and Singapore— who won fourteen
races for £6151, Rudolph being the winner of eight events
and £4312. The trio are owned by the Hon. James White.
Chester ranks third with seven winners, thirteen races and
£5703. Mr. White owns six of them— Spice, Abercorn, Plu-
tarch (now in England), Carlyon, Pippo and Dreadnought.
The get of Goldsbrough, Swiveller and Grandmaster each
won £5000. These statistics may at first sight appear "stale
pastry," but I give them as America is now turning her at-
tention to Australian sires.

Big sweep3, or "Consultations," as they are here termed,
are the rage just now in this country, and from the million-
aire to the office boy who can beg, borrow — or more often
steal— a sovereign, they all have their pound in a big sweep.
Some idea of the magnitude of these consolations may be ar-
rived at from the faot that one sweep promoter alone, George
Adams of the TattersallB Hotel, Sydney, has one £50,000,
one £10,000 and a couple of £2000 on the Melbourne Cup.
These sweeps are against the law of the land, but they are
winked at by the authorities. They summons Adams" now
and then to the police court and fine him £20 or so, but as
Adam'B commission on the Melbourne Cud sweeps alone
amounts to over €6,000 the tine does not hold any great ter-
ror for him. Another form of betting which if continued will
play havoc with the bookmakers is the place consultation. In
thiB the backer pots half a sovereign or a sovereign on the
horse ol his fancy. A few hours before the race "is started,
after deducting his ten per cent commission, the promoter
divides the money into 50 per cent for first horse, 30 per cent
for second horse aud 20 per cent for third horse. According
to the number of subscribers on the respective horses the
dividends depend. In some caseB ouly one lucky individual
may be "on" an outsider who wins or runs into a place, when
betakes the whole of the first, second or third money, as
the case may be.

Antaeus, the colt by Sir Modred from Millie, is very much
fancied for the Melbourne Cup, and holds a foremost place
in the betting. Unfortunately he is not engaged in the Victo-
rian Derby, as he is th« onlv three year old considered to
have any show with Mr. White's cracks. Before my next the

Victorian Racing Club Bpring meeting, which is considered
the biggest raciDg event in Australia, will have bsen a thing
of the past, so your readers may look forward to the salient
pointB being given them by yours,

A Case of Reversion.

Mr. Darwin mentions as quite an unusual occurrence the
case of a black mare that was bred to a bay horse, producing
a dun colt, the dam of the mare having been a dun, says the
Kentucky Stook Farm. A similar instance of reversion oc
curred in Montgomery oounty last spring. A black mare
(whoBe dam was a dun) was bred to a bay horse (whose an-
cestors had been bays for several generations) and the result-
ing produce was a dun. In the Bame lot and on the same
night, another mare foaled a bay colt. This was a bay mare
by Solioitor. The colts got together before the mareB got on
their feet, aud the Solicitor mare (dam of the bay colt)
seemed to prefer the don to her own colt, and it had to .be
removed before she would perform maternal duties to her
own offspring. The dam of the dun coit never manifested
any hesitation iu claiming it as her owu.

How He Won Her.

A Little Kentucky M are Thai Won a Wile and Fortune
lor Her Owner.

"That man has bad a strange experience, and that accounts
for his white hair," remarked a well-known turfite to a small
collection of kindred spirits who were seated in his office at
Lexington, Ky., a few years ago.

The party referred to had but left the office, and the above
remark was called forth, by a reference to the gentleman's
appearance.

Truly, he was a peculiar combination. Tall and erect,
•with the form of an Apollo Belvidere, fine features, jet black
eyes and moustache, and pure white hair. His age — well,
that is too nioch to guess, but dating back a few years, he
should be about 35 to 38 years. The white hair, his black
moustache, and face untouched by time's rude baud, gave
him a very distinguished appearance, one that caused perfect
strangers to stop, turn around and look after him as he passed
them. He is well known in Kentucky, his native Stale, and,
while the story is well known there, it may inttrest the pub-
lic to learn the cause of the changing of his raven locks to
snowy whiteness in a few brief seconds. It was related to us
that evening at Lexington by the speaker of the first para-
graph, and I made careful notes of the same at the time. I
give them now in full, only changing a few localities and
names in order to Bave my life should I ever visit the old
Bourbon State again.

"Well, boys, it's a long story, but I'll try to tell it just as I
know it. It was just after the war that Harry's father died.
The colonel was one of om few real, old Kentucky gentlemen.
He was a good liver, and had taken life easy up to the time
of the war. The end of the struggle found him broken in
health and poor in pocket. He depended a great deal on
voung Harry to look after things, and all orders for the meo
at the 'Oaks,' the name of the old homestead, passed through
the youth's hands. It was quite a load to place on such
young shoulders, but he was equal to the task, and soon all
referred to Harry as the master. Years rolled around, the
youth reached man's estate, and, as usual, fell in love. He
adored the only daughter of a neighbor, and was her equal in
all but wealth. She was an only child, the pride of her
father and mother, generally impetuous, ruling the household
in everything, but when her father rather Bteruly ordered her
to frown on her lover, she seemed to have lost her ambition
and obeyed. It was a bitter blow to Harry, and his friends
became alarmed at bis strange behavior at times.

"For some years matters had been going wrong at the Oaks.
Poor crops and pressing debts had placed mortgages on the
old homestead until it was impossible to get another cent
through that channel. All this had been carefully bidden
from the colonel, who, though an invalid, was fond of life,
and made frequent demands for sums of money from his
manager, who would generally find some way to supply the
money needed.

"Matters grew from bad to worse. Harry's love had been
forbidden to hold any conversation with him, and Harry him-
self was, to use his own expression, 'all broken up.' About
this time some defaulted interest was called for, and Harry
could not raise the funds to meet the demand. Then fore-
closure was threatened, and the young man was in despair.

The colonel was the owner of a thoroughbred chestnut
mare, in whose veins flowed the most royal runLing blood of
the land. He bad raised the tilly, as Bhe was called, having
had her mother in his family for years. In due time the
colonel's marc dropped a chestnut filly, the fac simile of her-
self, and the youngster wa3 presented to Harry. The colon-
el always contended that bis old mare had a wonderful burst of
SDeed and could outrun anything in Kentncky when Bhe
was in shape.

"As Harry's filly was by Glenelg, the old man used to say
that she was the finest in the land, barring her mother, and
was proud to see tint the fleet, footed filly could race ahead
ot the old maie around the pasture.

"At the proper age Harry broke her to the saddle, and she
learned to earry him everywhere. He now says that she us-
ed to flv over the roads with him and that she could run any
number of miles. No person so far as I know had ever seen
the mere run, and no person ever suspected that she had so
much speed. The filly was fonr years old when she was call-
ed on to run the race of a life's stake.

"Matters had been getting worse at the Oaks. Harry had
lost his heart since hia lady-love had turned from him, and
utter ruin started him in the faoe. From the sudden termi-
nation of hia love affair Harry appeared to drop all thought of
himself and appeared to think only of his old father.

I "He had been in town all day and learned at the bank that
the father of his lady-love had purchased two mortgages on
the Oaks. As the estate adjoined, Harry thought the old
man intended to press him and get the homestead. This
made him moody, and he has since told me, for the first
time in his life he began to realize that he had work ahead of
him and that he must be up and doing.
"That evening Harry visited the now sadly depleted stables,
and, accompanied by Uncle Zeke, the old negro trainer, he
wandered sadly through the long rows of empty box
stalls.
" 'Marse Harry,' said the old man firmly, 'dat ornery nig-
ger from de track was ober yere dis afternoon, an' he done
tole me dat de white people war goin' to hab one ob de ole
time gemmen's race dia fall, an' he asked me if we had any
ting ready fur to start. Ha done said dat when de ole mar-
sa war young dat he mos always hab some likely colt fur to
run.

" 'Yes, that's true. Uncle, bnt tirne3 are changed now,
and all I have is the chestnut filly,' Badly answered theyoung
man.

"Now dot's job' hit, an' I say to myself, says I, Uncle, you
jes' git dat tilly in shape, an' wid Marse Harry up she done
clean out dat whole caboodle an' win all de money in de Ian'
fur dat blamed Blly hab de blood of ole Glenelg in her, an'
ehe'B goin* to drap down dead 'fore she let any anmile beat
her out. Say, honey, je3* let ole Zeke put dat filly in trim an'
den you rides her to wictory an' a whole lot ob money.'

" 'Hush, Uncle,' said Harry sadly, 'I have no money to
bet, and then the filly is all untried, and we don't know how
she would act.'

" 'Why, Marse Harry, dat blamed orney critter done know
nuffiiu' but run. Look at her mammy look at her daddy, an'
den arsk ole Zeke ef he ever done make a mistake abont
colts afore. No siree; dis yere ole coon say when dat filly
weie borned dat she were de bestest in de Ian', an' ole Zeke
never done make nc mistake.'

" 'But, Uncle, you're simply talking nonsense. I have no
money and it would scarcely pay me to train her for the
purse alone,' sadly answered Harry.

*' ' Golly, chile, you can jes' do like dem odder white
gemmens. Make a book, an1 doan't put up de stuff. You
cawn't lose, an' you'se boun' to git dar wif all four feets.'

" ' And if by accident I Bhould lose the race, then I
would have to blow my brains out, for I could never pay
my debts any other way.'

" 'An' dat's nuffio'. Hasn't lots an* lots ob gemmeD,
white an' braok, done gone dat way afore. You j'pb' tink
dis obber, chile, an' den tell your ole brack uDcle, an' we
kin 6x dat filly up an' win dat race an' a big bar'l ob money,
too.'

" During the night Harry dreamed abont the race —
dreamed that be bad won it and cleared off the mortgage on
the Oaks. It made a deep impression on his mind, and the
next morning be had decided to make the experiment He
well knew that a fine bay stallion belonging to his neighbor
would be a strong favorite, and to beat him would be a
double revenge for the loss of his love, and the attempt to
take the Oaks from his family. Uncle Zeke was almost
wild when he learned of the decision, aad at once com-
menced work on the filly. In order tu avoid attracting at-
tention, and, aB he would carry welter weight, and the raoe
was for gentlemen riders, it was d-cided that Harry should
ride her in the exercise. Outside of Uncle Zeke, Harry told
no one of the secret until just before the race. Then he
came to me and requested that I enter the mare in my name.
As she had never been named, we picked out Kentucky
Nan, knowing that such a common title would not attract
any attention. We al-*o failed to give her pedigree, as the
mention of old Glenelg would be sure to find her friends.

"The entries closed with seventeen nominations, the dis-
tance, a mle and a half, keeping all the light-weight sprin-
ters out. No attention was paid to 'Nan,' all the talk being
about the big bay. Books were quickly opened, with the
stallion at 2 to 1 shot over the field. Harry eagerly snapped
up all the offers, and soon had over $20,000 booked. Tbe
batting seemed to nerve him, and he made several trade* in
which he received considerable cash, so that when his vin-
dictive neighbor made him a 65,000 offer, Harry called him
with the cash. This act gave his book additional credit,
and $20,000 soon became $40,000, then $50,000, and sud-
denly Harry stopped betting- I wondered at this, but on
going to the Oaks found that Earry and Nan had both gone
away for several days, and that Uncle Zeke had left home
tor the first time since the old colonel had been sick. I sus-
pected something was in the wind, and awaited their re-
turn with considerable anxiety. In a few days, Harry came
riding into the barn on what I supposed was Nan. His
face was aglow, and I knew that he had something to tell me,
which was the case. He had taken the mare to the track at
the Corners, and given her several trials. She ran the die-
tance in 2:45 and 2:36 the first day. Two days later she
turned the track in 2:34$, finishing with plenty of speed left.
But this was not all, ior Harry had caught a stolen trial of
the stallion's in 2:4U, and saw him take the whip and spur
freely, during the last four furlongs aod finish very tired.
Tnis fully confirmed Harry's opinion of the filly being the
winner of the race, and he bet fast and furious from that
time on.

It was the day of the race, and the excitement was at fever
heat. No one had discovered that "Kentucky Nan" was none
other than Harry's chestnut filly, for he had deceived them
all by using the old colonel's mare. Nan's mother, for his
business trips, while the filly was at home being thoroughly
trained for tbe big race. Harry had prepared a grand sur-
prise, for hidden under his every-day clothes was the jockey
suit, the famous black and orange colors carried for years by
bis father's horses. As the young man sauntered along the
quarter stretch he met his neighbor.

" 'So, so, young man. you don't think my horse will win,
do you? Weil, I like your grit, if nothing else, and I'll just
bet you my place against the Oaka that he can and will out-
run anything in the race.'

'It was a temptiug offer, and Harry came near taking it,
bnt, fearing some trick, he made a counter offer to bet
§5,000. His banter was called, and when Harry started off
saying he would go and get the money to put up he was sur-
prised on being toid that suen a step was unnecessary, as his
word was sufficient.

'When the race was called Harry galloped through the
stretch on Nan, and as his colors were recognized the hand-
some rider and beautiful tilly were the recipients of many
rounds of applause. The filly was in perfect condition, tit to
run for a man's life. Tne gloss of her deep che=tnut glis-
tened in the sun, her eyes flashed clear and bright, Bhowing
that all the latent energy in her was coming to the surface,
while her clear cut limbs trembled with excitement. Her
stately head and arching neck, her clean, round barrel, and
her Glenelg hind quarters were pictures worthy of an artist's
pencil. Harry roae her like a hero, she obeying the slightest
press of the knee and hand, or a low-spoken word. As the
norses went to the post old Zeke hobbled after the filly and
whispered to Harry:

" 'ijay close to de bay and doan't leab him till you gits in
de stretch comin' home.'

'Harry had the pole, with the big bay next, and, as tbe
field of seventeen had dwindled down to six, no trouble was
experienced in starting them. I looked at Harry, expecting
to find him nervous, for seated in tbe stand was his former
lady love, wearing the cherry and old gold colors of her re-
ported lover, who was up on the bay. Instead of tbe pale,
worried look I found the uscal peacn and cream complexion
so marked even now in Harry's lace, and then I felt that the
race was almost won.

"When the flag fell Nan and the bay cleared the field and
raced side by side. I noticed that Harry was riding light and
Nan was running free, and I also observed that the bay was
fighting for his head. It was a grand sight; the trim, racy
looking filly and the large, powerful stallion thus fighting
for the life and wealth. All eyes were on the pair as they
raced side by side, stride for stride, and jump for jump. A
blanket would have covered them both for the mile. Harry
was close to the pole, and had he been less of a gentleman
and more of a jockey, he would have made tbe big horse
travel many fett more by carrying him out on the turn. At
last the pair ran into the stretch neck and neck, and the
pace was terrific. The whip falls on the bay and he jumps a
head in the lead. Another swish of the whalebone and the
mare's nose is at the girth; still another and she hangs at his
stifle. They were out in the middle of the track, and the
bay, on the outside, lays too close lor Harry to uae hia whip,
but he doesn't seem to intend to, for he never lifts it. They
reach the last furlong; the bay is being furiously ridden,
getting the whip and steel ac every stride, but he cannot
shake off the chestnut at his flank. Suddenly Harry drops
lower in his seat and speaks a word to Nan. The effect was
electric; tbe little mare in a bound reaches his shoulder; an-
other low whisper goes over her plaited mane and reaches
the thin, tapering ears; another bound and the chestnut nose
infrout. The whip falls unavailingly on the heaving flanks of
the bay, but be is done; he baa run a good race and is beaten
by the game blood of his opponent. Hany rides like a de-
mon, but his closed mouth utters no sound, his whip is held
firmly across hiB thigh, and still the blly flies. The shout

that greetB the mare as she reaches the end of the grand stand
causes her to bound forward, and tbe next second she dashes
under the wire, the winner of the race by two lengths in
2:39 J. B

"Harry pulled the mare up easy and rode back to the
judge's stand slowly, while the crowd rose up, yelled them-
selves hoarse, and rushed into the stretch to lift him from
his horse. He had saluted the judges and received permis-
sion to dismount, just as the crowd reached him. Respond-
ing to the manly cheer that emanates from true Kentucky
throats, Harry lifted bis jockey cap, and as he did so the
impetuous rush was checked, the half-utteied cheer died
away in the throat, and the crowd fell back dismayed.

"Harry's hair had turned white.

"It was not noticed when he rode under the wire at light-
ning speed, but several at the rail now swear that it turned
after he had won the race. Jumping from his gallant mare
he ruBhed to the stand where the old Colonel sat, and, throw-
ing his cap ahead of him, he called out:

" 'Father, the Glenelg blood has saved us. We are rich!
rich!! rich!!!' and then be fainted at his father's feet.

"The attack of brain fever that followpd carried the boy to
the very brink, but he weathered the storm and found him-
self a rich man. His winnings paid all the debtB on the
Oaks, and placed the grand ola pmce in a prosperous condi-
tion once more.

'In a glass case in the old parlor is a black cap and jacket,
with orange sleeves, white corduroy jockey pants, a pair of
riding boots and a whip, while out in a Bpacious, separate
barn, stands Nan, fat. sleek and well. She has never had a
saddle on her since the race, and lives a life of luxuriant
ease."

"After the race and his sickness, Harry grew foolish, and,
finding that his neighbor had ruined himself by backing the
bay, he forgave all, and bound himself by sacred ties to pro-
vide for the daughter, who is now as proud of those white
hairs as she is of Harry, and who leaves her husband many
times a day to go out and pet old Nan in the Btable. Yes,
siree, he won a fortune and his wife by his first and ODly
race." — Rocky Mountain News.

Very Big Wagers.

Enormous Sums Won and lost on English Races-

To give some idea of the extraordinary wealth of menin this
occupation and the way they obtain it, I may mention that
Davis lost £40,000 to Mr. Bowes, the owner of Daniel
O'Rourke, in one bet when the horse won the Derby. "While
at dinner the day after the race Mr. Bowes expressed some
p.nxiety as to whether Davis would be able to meet
his engagement, for he knew of others to whom he had lost
largely, and in fact Davis was said to have been hard hit. Mr,
C. O. Greville, being one of the guests, sat at the table that
evening and hearing the conversation, mentioned the circum-
stance to Davis the next morning on the course, who imme-
diately wrote Mr. Bowes a check for the amount atd gave it
to him. This wealtn was made, andhtens of thousands of
pounds more, by small sums received at the list in shillings
and half crowns by a carpenter— for that was once the daily
occupation of Davis, the greatest better ever known.

We had then as owners of race horses, the Duke of Beau ■
f rt, Newcastle, and Hamilton, Lord Stamford, and the indo-
mitable Marquis of Hastings, Messrs Saville, Chaplin, Strut
(now ijord Arlington), Sirs Frederick Johnstone andHawley,
all of whom know how and when to bet. Lord Stamford lost
over Hermit for the Derby £70,000, and Lord Hastings did
the Bame, but on Lecturer for the Cesarwitch the latter won
£75.000 and he thought but little of winning or losing £10,-
000 on a race. If Lord George Bentinck could fairly be call-
ed the Napoleon of the Turf io 1839 Lord HasliLga was de-
servedly entitled to the appellation in 1867, for ne had no
superior in the magnitude and value of his stud or the price
he gave for yearlings, He paid Mr. Padwick £11.000 for
Kangaroo. His three 2-year-olds— Lady Elizabeth, See Saw
and the Earl— were perhaps at jone time equal to, if not bet-
ter than Sir Joseph Hawley's trio— Blue Grown, Rosieracian
and Green Sleeves. Goodwood was then at the height of
its prosperity witn i s 36 n ess aod 35 starters in arace. The
Duke of Beaufort, always one of the best supporters of the
turf, had 19 starters in one year at Goodwood and won four
races, which included both the Cup, the Slakes and Three
Hundred Sovereign Stakes won with Vauben. Tbe Marquis
of Hastings won the Lavant and the rich Post Sweepstakes
of three hundred sovereigns each with Ines.

These stakes were run for at the Bibuiy and Stockbridge
meetings. His lordship's lucky star was in the ascendaut,
and the racing had never been so good befoie. In the 33
races that were run for, his horse started 34 times, winning
ten races of the value of £7,200. Whether we look at his
gigantic betting transaction or the number and value of his
horses and the stakes they won, it cannot be denied that the
Marquis of Hastings was then the first man upon the turf. I
may now allude to yearlings and the price they then fetched.
At Middie Park, about 1S67, or eoon after, yearlings fetched
extraordinary prices; as much as 1,500 guineas, and 2,400
guineas were given, and out of a lot one year the average
price was 500 guineas, or 20,000 guineas for the forty. Such
prices no one thought would be exceeded, or even ever
reached again. But prices have still gone up, and brood
mares have increased in value as much as tbe yearlings, ana,
in fact, every sort of race horse has augmented in value in
like proportion, till now over 3,000 guineas are given for a
broodmare and over 4.000 guineas for a yeailiDg. Stallions
have fetched 16,000 guineas, 20,000 guineas have been offered
and refused for a horse in training, and 5,000 guineas was a
sum not sufficiently attractive to secure a yearling that was
offered for sale at private contract this year.
ijBut these facts and figures, gigantic and surprising as they
are, dwindle into utter insignificance when compared with
the value of Hermit. This wonderful and lucky horse stands
alone as a race horse and stallion, for Hermit has won in
stakes and bets for his fortunate owner, Mr. Chaplin, some-
where about £150,000, and has since earned at the stud at
least as much more, and may still further augment this al-
most incredible sum. Again, Donovan, up to the present
time, has won in stakes more than any other horse ever did,
and may, and moat likely will, add many more thousands to
his record. He has already secured £39,963, and may yet
even surpass the mighty deeds of Hermit at the stud, as *he
has triumphed over his performances on tbe race course.
Ayjshire, another lucky borse, has wou for the same ducal
owner Dearly as much aa DonovaD himtelf, having secured
in stakes alone over £36,000 np to the present date, and -
like him, yet increase largely thiB magnificent sum bef
racing career is terminated, and afterward be at t i
great a success as either of the two extraordinary her
mentioned. These few cases, to which many other
added, will show us tbe present value of our rac<
and how greatly it exceeds the worth of those of ac
age or country. — Wm. Day in Forti-ightly Review.

A Point of Record.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman :-As I looked ovei the
pats of yoor journal, dated Xov. 16th, to read the account
of ?ne record breaking by Sanol, and other particulars of the
xtesnot supplied in tWaccounts published -E-t^ Jour-
nals I was somewhat astonished to hnd myself honored (?)
Xr ^following fashion -a number of so-called sporting
Journals have seen tit to deride the supposition that 2:12
coo Id by any possible means be rubbed ouiby a three-year-
old The writers are only "pencil shovers," and know noth-
ing whatever about California, its horses or its climate.
Among the worst of the lot is one who should know better
his education and experience having titled him for tbonghts
of a liberal nature, and he is not supposed to be biased "by
the mean little prejudices that warp the mind of the bigot.
His writings are well known to all horsemen and the articles
from the pen of "Aurelius" are read with avidity by all stud-
ents of the trotting horse." j*,™,*

I cannot let this criticism of my article go down without
protest to the future historian who, twenty centuries from
now will be hunting the records to find what the Breeder
and Sportsman thought of Aurelius.

I have a few friends in California, and least they might
not reserve a place for me at their boards, I hasten to assure
them of my distinguished consideration, and everything else
that good manners call for in the present crises. There are
several matters implied in the article, and, as I am the only
one named aB one of the wickedest, I accept the honor (?)
oonferred and ask year readers, as the diplomats friend of
Caasar did, to "lend me their ears." It is charged that a
number of so-called sporting journals have seen ht to 'deride
the supposition that 2:12 could by any possibility be beaten
by a tbree-year-old." I am not spokesman for tne so-called
Bporling journals, and may not assume to answer for them,
bat can sav that as I receive aboot twenty journals devoted
to the discussion of the horse; from various cities from Prince
Edward's Island to San Francisco, I have not seen in n sin-
gle one any "derision of the idea" referred to iu the Sports-
man, consequently the journals referred to must be other
than those which are guilty of publishing the communica-
tions of "Aurelius."

You say: "The writers were only pencil shovers and
know nothing about California, itB horses or its climate." This
is really hard. If the offenders mentioned do not commit
hari-hari on reading that criticism they must be classed
among the pachydermatous orders of animals. "Aurelius" is
evidently meant, as the journal says he is "one of the worst
of the lot." But Aurelius begs respectfully to say that when
it comes to committing suicide he poutiveiy refuses, and de-
sires to live on. He can till a niche in the temple of fame as
an "awful example" if nothing better be the verdict of pros-
perity. Moreover he is a user of the ciligraph, and if hon-
ors were flying about to "penoil shoverd" he might insist on
a figurative construction of the term, but as no honors or
filthy lucre is being distributed to the class aforesaid, he oalls
for a strict interpretation, though the journal "knocks me
silly" with a regular Peter Jackson hypnotizer when it says
that I am one ot the "worst of the lot" of pencil shovers. It
says farther on that I am an "able writer," and restores me
to consciousness by saying that my writings are "read with
avidity." I confess I am, like Lord Dundreary, unable to
reconcile such contradictories. What I chiefly object to is the
implication that I was one who "derided the idea that 2:12
could be robbed out." If Sunol had not reduced the record,
I might have passed that statement of my position as a trib-
ute to my sagacity, but as Sunol has reduced the record I
want it Distinctly understood that I alwayB said so, particu-
larly in the article to which the Sportsman took exception. I
* have made several badbreaks in the prophet line this season
and must not be denied of my honors when I happen to make
a lucky hit. It was as follows: —

I had no desire to depreciate the greatness of Sunol. I will
even go farther and say that if she had been at Terre Haute
the day that Axteil made his record, and she was in as good
"fit" as she was at Fresno, she would have what the South-
erners call a "right smart" chance of diudingthe honors with
him. My reasons for such a belief are based on the circum-
stances under which the two records were made. All the
paperB agree that the track at Terre Haute was in first class
shape and very fast. If the papers had not said so the uni-
formly fast time made would have told the condition of it.
On the other hand the spectators at Fresno did not expect
that the record would be beaten, and their belief was based
upon the poor condition of the track. It is not at best a fast
track, and the uniformly slow time made shows that it was
very slow at the time of the races. At Terre Hante records
were broken in almost every race, and by long distances at
that.

As regards the two animals concerned, no one will claim
that Sunol is a "quitter." In fact we have been told repeat-
edly that her thorough blood was strictly fire-proof against
each a theory. Had she not the "four mile blood of Lexing-
ton" to carry her one short mile? At least let us do juBtice
and say that both iwnmals were equal iu condition.

At FreHno the trotting races were alternated with running
races, frwo of each having been contested the day previoua.
Ab any tyro knows, the runners cat up a track considerably,
especially one with the sandy consistency of Fresno. More-
over, the last quarter was more than average in badnes6, and
when Sunol struck it she was almost anchored. On Terra
Haute track no running was allowed, and the track was in
the finest condition. Let ua compaie the time made. Axtell
went to the quarter in 33 secoude, Sunol in 32£ seconds:
Axtell to the ball in 1:0">A, Sanol to the half in l:Ui3A, Sunol
to the third quarter in 1-38A, Axtell in 1:37$; Axtell Home in
2:12, Sunol in 2:13$.

It is true that the Terre Haute finish is a little up grade,
but this necessarily includes the theory that some other part
of the mile is down grade. Axtell's finish was made on terra
lirma; Sunol finished througn a deep, sandy stretch, Marvin
plying the whip to kecq> her moving through it. All this be-
ing considered, the performance of Sunol mnBt be held equal
iu quality to that of Axtell, the dill'eten. e in time being
explained, not by any deficiency in speed, but by the differ-
ence in favoring circumstances. If the performance of
Sunol be equal in quality to that of Axtell, Is it going beyond
bounds to Bay that the public must not consider the record
beyond danger? I think it reasonable to believe that Sunol
will take tb< n cord, provided Bhe ki^ps in condition and
trots on a track as good as that at Terre Haute.

The above is the way that 1 "derided the idea" that Sunol
would break the rncofd. It was written on October 20th,
long before Sunol showed the wonderful half mile in 1 :04J.
It was written merely upon what in called the "publio form"
of the two animals, the only just way of BummariHing the
pyobabilitios. Whilst the writer pleads uruilty to pride in see-
ing the great accomplishments of Kunti rn bred hursen, and
that the day haK passed when California has the field to her-
self iu suoh contestn, I venture to miy that yoar readers, or
you yourself, on secoud thought will not say that BUch an

article written in the midst of Eastern glorification, bears any
evidence of a "mind biased by the mean little prejudices that
waip the mind of the bigot."

I have no apologies to offer for anything I have said. I
bel eve that Senator Stanford has beeD a patron of the trot-
ting turf worthy of all honor and praise. He has devoted
years of study and observation to the subject of breeding
horses, and his marvellouB success shows that he has Btudied
to a purpose, I believe that most people whose thoughts are
worthy of consideration, have abandoned the idea that Gov.
Stanford did not know what he was about when he bought
Electioneer and started his trotting stnd. I had a long talk
with Mr Marvin several years ago at Rochester, whenOhimes
was a yearling. With his characteristic modesty, he had
machtosayof the honor due to Gov. Stanford in the oon-
cepiion and development of what may be called the 'Palo
Alto idea." I believe he told the trutb, and my belief was
confirmed from time to time by other observers. Mr. Stan-
ford had great assistance in the unrivalled Electioneer, and
in Mr. Marvin, though the latter will not, perhaps, thank
me for Baying so. I wish to say here again, in all soberneBs,
that I have nothing but congratulations to offer to Mr. Stan-
ford on the wonderful feat of Sunol. I can also, with all my
heart, congratulate Mr. Bonner on the purchase of Sunol,
and still more in the determination to leave her in California
for another season's training. We will, I hope, be able to
determine which is the faster animal, Axtellor Sunol; though
Sunol has thi record, she had not shown in public the pos-
session, up to the time of Axtell's retirement, of the ability to
beat him at any distance from the jump of a dog to mile heats
best three in five. I will say further that I do not believe she
can beat him, both coming to the wire under equal circum-

It must be remembered that Axtell is a stallion, that he
was driven by a telegraph operator who was far from being
a Marvin or a Budd Doble. Both horses aTe in the hands
of people abundantly able to give them every chance, and I
think my old friend Marvin will concede tnat Budd Doble
is in no way his inferior either, as a conditioner or a driver.
Axtell came to his speed and to fully as much speed, after
his 2:14 record was beaten by Sunol, as fast as Sunol did
after he had retired. There is no reason to believe that he
would have improved on as fast aB Bhe did. Still this is a
hypothetical question which the uutqual conditions East
and West of the Rockies, will prevent from a settlement this
or any other year. Given any two horses fully equal in
speed, as I believe Sunol and Axtell were the day he made his
record one East, and the other in California, and the proba-
bility is that the horse that has the longest time, will make
the best record.

Hoping that you will do me the justice to give this a place
in your colomns, I close with the wish of a happy Christ-
mas to all my California friends. Though I may admit that
I do not '"know California, its horses or climate", I hope I
will some day. Aurelius

What Trotting: Blood Does-

Editor Bree^r and Sportsman:— At the risk of being
by some thought heterodox, I wish to say a word about this
furor over thoroughbred blood in the trotter. In the first
place, not enough haB been claimed for horses bred as Sunol,
Maud S., and others are. The fastest at one mile, the second
and third fastest, the fastest three-year-old, are all bred alike
The fastest two miles is by Fanny "Witherspoon, 4:43. She
is by the great Almont, and her dam by a thoroughbred
horse.

Now it is claimed by some— it seems to me not very logi-
cally— that all this is due to thoroughbred blood. It is
claimed that it is the thoroughbred blood that produces
extreme speed at the trot, and the above instances are cited
to prove it. Now I believe in pedigree as stroDgly as any
one, but my experience, as well as teaching, has been that
like begets like as a general rule, to whioh there are excep-
tions. I have never yet heard of a pure thoroughbred trot-
ting to a record of 2:30.

Two trottiDg sires, Almont and Electioneer, have become
celebrated as the aires of a naniber of trotters whose dams
possessed more or les3 thoroughbred blood. It was to be
expected that such borseB would beget speed when mated
with trotting bred mares. It accorded with reason and ex-
perience of the general course of nature. But when they
were able to overcome the running tendencies of the mares in
those instances, it was thought phenomenal; and truly it was
bo. It was exceptional, and was due beyond doubt to special
and hidden causes op rating iu IhoBe particular cases by
which the influence of the trotting sire predominated in the
gait of the offspring to the practical extinction of the influence
uf the dam. Instances of thi. kind are numerous iu other
animals. Galloway bulls bred to Shorthorns show how this
may happen where the result is black-Polled cattle. Other
examples will suggest themstlvej.

Hamuletonian had his greatest success when crossed with
American Star mareB, and American Star was nearly a thor-
oughbred, if indeed not quite so.

Taking the liBt of 2:30 performers, one is surprised at the
number of dams whose breeding is unkuown. Even when
the sire of the dam is known, the pedigree beyond the second
or third dam in a vast majority of cases, is Bhrouded in dark-
ness. Now Beautiful Bells produces speed by Electioneer to
a certainty. Dame Winnie has two fast oneB by Electioneer
and one by General Benton.

Some mares are known — as the phrase is — to breed after
Ike horse. Dame Winnie seems to be one of this bind. Gen.
.Benton ib a trotting-bred horse of great potency aB a sire. It
is reasonable to expect his daughters will be producers of
speed, receiving from him an energetic impulse in that direc-
tion.

The dam of Sunol is by General Benton, her dam being the
mare Waxy by Lexington.

It is perhaps idle to speculate upon these dark and inyateri
<>us questions. For my part I should think it reasonable to
believe, if Waxy had been by Alexander's Abdallah, Al-
mont or Mambrino Chief, and her dam by Lexington, the
breeding to (rotting horse men would bave been better. And
if the third dam had also been by a great sire of trotting
dams, it would bave been still further improved. In that
case I should be very glad if the fourth dam were by Lexing
too, Trustee, or some such horse and out of a thoroughbred
man-.

In short, I want aB many first-dans trotting anevstors as I
can posHibly get, and then when I can get no more trot, I want
it to terminate in a thoroughbred — uot because I believe thor-
oughbreds can trot, but beoauae they came from carefully

selected aninialB of soundness and beauty, and as a bach
ground, are infinitely better than plugs. But thoroughbreds
do not, as a rule, trot fast, nor do they when mated together
produce fast trotters. How many foals are there in the world
by trotting sires out of thoroughbred mares? What propor-
tion of these have records better than 2:30?

Almont and Electioneer are exceptional in their power to
beget trotters out of any kind of mares, and we hear nothing
of their failures.

But those who are olaiming that it is the thoroughbred
blood that makes trotters claim that it giveB Btamina.

This is gratuitous. There has so far been no need for
trotters to go any where lor stamina. . The distinguishing
characteristic of the trotter is his endurance. Phallas by a
brother of Electioneer out of aClark Chief mare, won a fourth
heatin2:13£. Goldsmith Maid by another brother of Elec-
tioneer trotted 332 heats in 2:30 to 2:14. Westmout by Al-
mont paced 107 heats in from 2:30 to 2:01!.

These performances have an additional merit, viz: That
from 200 to 300 pounds weight was dragged after them in
each case. These were all mile heats. Besides, the training
of trotters subjects them or at least heretofore did subject
them to much more terrible strain and hard labor than the
training of runners. In our times no runner is expected to
carry more than 128 pounds nor to run further than one and
one-half miles. Indeed by far the greater number of running
races are at short distances with light weight and m nearly
all cases are single dashes at that.

The history of the two breeds of horses proves that the palm
of endurance belongs not to the thoroughbreds, but to the
trotters.

The three fastest trotters are mathematically bred alike.
Each begotten by a son of Hambletouian, the lather of trot-
ters. Maud S. and Jay-Eye-See had for dams two daughters
of Pilot Jr , who was a sire of trotters, but more especially a
aire of mares which when bred to trotting sires produoed
fast and valiant trotters. Sunol by Electioneer had for her
dam Waxana by General Benton a great sire of trotters and
of mares that when bred to trotting tires produce first class
trotters. The impress and stamp of Pilot Jr. and General
Benton was placed upon these three great mares. They had
trotting blood engrafted on the thoroughbred and it was on
lop. It lay there on the surface as it were. Had these three
mares been bred to thoroughbred horses or to Clydesdales,
there would have been no MauJ S., Jay-Eye See nor Sunol.
But the trotting blood of Harold, Dictator and Electioneer,
found this kiudred trotting blood of Pilot Jr. and Gen. Ben-
ton sleeping there as it weie on that ancestry which was bet-
ter than an ancestry of scrubs and woke it into life aDd the
happy chance gave the world these thrte world's wonders.
They each have two trotting crosses. The third dim of
Sunul and Jay-Eye-See were each by Lexington. These
speediest of all trotters, one would think owe their capacity
to go fast at that gait to ancestors who had that kind of in-
heritance to impart to them. It seems less absurb to attii-
bute their amazing trotting speed to that branch of their an-
cestry whence other horses witb speed at the same gait have
sprung than to say they trot fast because L-xington could
run fast.

The best thoroughbred is no doubt but for a bickground
for trotters, as it would seem rational to bi-lieve it beat for
any purpose where soundness is required. These great trot-
ting sires have had no choice heretofore except scrubs or
thoroughbreds for a background. Indeed the dams of trot-
ters in a vast multitude ot cases have been scrubs.

Bat these great trotting sires even with scrub dams have
given the world "a breed unmatched for courage, breath and
speed." When in a few more generations we have produced
mares like Sunol — niares worthy to be bred to suoh horses as
the sons of Almont, Electioneer, George Wilkes and Sultan
—and breed them to tutse great progenitois of trotting speed
and matchless value we may expect results.

In the meantime publia spirited men of vast wealth like
Senator Stanford can afford to experiment with thorough-
breds if they like and bretdhundrtds of failures to get a Palo
Alto. They can stand it. But the man who breeds for profit
or for his daily bread had better breed on lines that promise
a reasonable certainty of a 2:25 horse than go into bankrupt-
cy attempting by the thoroughbred route to produce a two
minute trotter. Respectfully,

W. H. ASHBY.

A Word to Young Trainers.

The secret in the art of horse-breaking consists in a correct
knowledge of the horse; and when that is understood, the
trainer finds his whole efforts mu-.t be devoted to improve-
ment of the natural intellects of the animal; no other method
can ever succeed. It is impossible to give a horse either an
artificial intelleot or memory. A horse Is naturally well dis-
posed to man, though fearful of and obelient to him. No
human art can effect anytbing contrary to the nature of the
horse, though the animal may be easily imposed on. There-
fore; in training, there must be a reason for every natural
and beneficial result looked for, or capable of being produced
through the means employed. If the trainer can give no
substantial reason for any particular stratagem he employs,
whatever the result produced, it can have no lasting or bene-
ficial effect upon the horse. But if nature be obeyed, and
her order strictly kept, it follows as a certainty that the end
desired will be attained. So that if art be employed with
reason, it must be in accordance with the instinct of the ani-
mal, for nothing in the art of horse training is reasonable
that is contrary to the nature of the horse. And these, the
first principles of the art, should be kept constancy in mind;
for nothing is easier than to impose ou a horse, because the
animal uuconscious of imposition, and is, beaides, fearful
and obedient to a man.

Neither force nor violence should be used in training
colts: they must be won by gentle treatment, for violence is
opposed to the three fundamental principles of the art.
Whatever a horse does by violent compulsion is of no avail
in training, hecause the horse knows not what is required of
him, or how to obey; therefore no useful impression is made
upon the animal when the teaehing is accompanied with
violence. Correction should be administered without vio-
lence, and immediately after the fault. For i -stance, if a
hotse does wioug, and the trainer has to go and get a whip
before administering the chastisement, it is unreasonable to
suppose that the horse (which is not gifted with the power
ot reasoning) can know for what purpose the chastisement is
administered; therefore correotioDS sbould never be resorted
to any other time than the instant the horse commits a fault.
An impatient man is totally unfit for the art of training
colts.— The Horse World.

P. C. Blood Horse ABSociation.

Last Saturday evening waa the date appointed for the an-
nual meeting of the Blood Horse Association, and, pursuant
to call, some thirty members of the organization met to elect
officers for the ensuing year and transact such other business
as might come before the meeting. In tbe absence of Mr. M.
F. Tarpey, who has acted as President since the death of
David McClure, on motion Col. H. I. Thornton was called to
the chair, but just as the proceedings opened Mr. Tarpey
arrived and occupied the place of honor. Secretary Culver
read the minutes of the previous meeting and they were ap-
proved. A Bhort time ago, under instructions from the Di-
rectors, the Secretary had sent out circulars requesting mem-
bers to pay up the annual dues of $25, and those who were
present but had not yet complied with the request took ad-
vantage of a lull in the proceedings to assist the depleted
treasury. Five hundred and titty dollars was collected,
which is the first duee ever collected since the Association
was organized. At the annual meeting of 1888 a committee
was appointed to look up suitable land for a race track, and
Mr. Tarpey reported that the gentlemen had examined all
the available laud in the vicinity of San Francisco and Oak-
land, and referred to three eligible sites, one about six miles
from the city and the other two in Oakland. In the course
of his remarks Mr. Tarpey Baid it was rather a difficult mat-
ter for the committee to go around pricing land when there
was not a cent in the treasury, a fact that seemed to be con-
curred in by all the members present.

On motion it was decided that the old officers should hold
over until the beginning of the year, so as to enable the pres-
ent officials to finish the fall meeting.

A discussion ensued as to the amountof dues which should
be charged next year, and after several amendments had been
voted down the sum was fixed at $15.

The election was the next thing on the programme, and
Ariel Lathrop was selected to fill the position of President for
1890; Col. H. I. Thornton was elected rirBt Vice-President
and P. A. Finigan for second. On a vote being taken Thorn&s
H. Williams, J. B. FaggiD, E T. Carroll and James P. Ken-
were declared elected as Directors, but the latter named gen-
tleman resigned in favor of Mr. Gunst.

A long disoussion ensued between tbe members as to who
should be allowed on the club house stand.and it was finally
decided that city guests should .not be allowed the privilege,
but that visitors from the East or the country might be in-
vited to the private stand, ,

Meeting adjourned until next November.

Southern California News.

After the marvelous exhibitions of trotting at the Bay Dis-
trict Track on November 9th, and at Napa on November
16th, Califoroians can well exclaim, "We are the people." I
have always had great expectation for Sunol since the day
she beat Vesolia at Los Angeles, but even my most sanguine
anticipations did not conjure up 2:10i for a three-year-old.
The record at that time was 2:1S. When Sunol, as a two-
year-old, Bhowed 2:18 it certainly justib'ed the opinion that,
bar accidents, she should at least reach 2:15 as a three-year-
old, but there is no longer any telling where the California
production will get to in the course of a few years.

There are only three stallions in the world who have beaten
2:12J. Two of these are California bred. How is that for a
record? But the end is not yet, and I confidently expect to
see AxtelPa record knocked into Binithereens by either Stam-
boul or Palo Alto, or probably both. Stamboura 2:12^ at
Napa pleased me immensely. As you are doubtless aware,
I am a Stamboul enthusiast and have written more about the
grandson of Sultan than any newspaper man in the country.
All Southern California horsemen will rejoice to hear that
L. J. Rose haa won his wager with Mr. Crawford of Ken-
tucky. Stamboul's improvement has been consistent. His
record at the end uf each year was: Two-year-old, 2:37;
three-year-old, 2:26^; six-year-old, 2:14f, and seven-year-old,
2:12}. Here's to 2:11 at his next attempt.

L, J. Rose's new venture in the thoroughbred line is not
a surprise. He has been contemplating this move for several
months past. It will help racing in this part of California
wonderfully.

Los ADgeles is making a bold bid for the patronage of horse
owners. A meeting has been arranged for Christmas week.
The Sixth District Agricultural Association have also an-
nounced a week's meeting of running and trotting for the
middle of April, while it is expected that tbe Southern Cali-
fornia Racing Association will give an exclusively running
meeting some time in March. San Diego will alBo fall into
line. Mr. Babcock is building a race track at Coronado
Beach, and contemplates holding a brilliant initial meeting
early next year.

"With a track at Coronado and Pacific Beach, San Diego is
unusually well supplied with race tracks. The success of
the San Diego horses Mikado and Tycoon has stimulated the
patrons of racing in this country. Sam Caton, the former
driver of Bell Boy, is located at Pacific Beach. He has a big
string of untried trotters from the frozen East. A number of
them are especially well bred.

Mr. Seamans, who formerly owned Bell Boy, has returned
to San Diego. He saw Guy trot in the East.

Jim Roarke now drives Jim Leach, one of the gamest trot-
ters ever hitched to a sulky, on the road every day.

I recently met Steve Stroud at Los Angelea. The old man
is pleased as punch with King David. He wants him for
stud purposes.

W. J. Robinson, one of the leading dry-goods merchants of
Los ADgeles, and a Director of the Sixth District Agricultural
Association, has purchased a fine breeding farm near Roee-
meade. He recently imported some choicely-bred trotters
from the East.

I ran across Jim Madison, of Julian, the other day. Mr.
Madison owns Shiloh, who, by the way, if he had had the
mares, would have ranked with the best stallions in the coun-
try. One can count on his fingers the thoroughbred mares
bred to Shiloh. Every reader of the Breeder and Sports,
man has heard of Mikado and John Treat.

Ben Hill has at his Bakersfield ranch three full brothers of
Gladstone, which he expects to train for next season.

Mr. Newton, one of the leading men in this section, has an
Alcazar youDgster which is a perfect model of symmetry.

The picers and trotters taken East by '"Knapsack" Mc-
Carthy from Los Angeles, were on the sick list nearly the
entire season.

Fair directors down this way are beginning to appreciate
the fact that the bang tails draw out the crowd.

A brother of Walter Maben is handling the youngsters at
the Robinson Ranch, near Rosemead.

Mrs. Ben Hill has deputed me to name tbe next Reveille
youngster. It will not be called Pinafore.

The Sixth District Agricultural Association cleared 53,200
by their recent meeting, notwithstanding the postponement.
This result will be an incentive to oiler the biggest purses on
the circuit next year.

A score of horses are domiciled at the new track at Escon-
dido where the first fair of^the 22d district was recently held.

The Standard.

[AS REVISED AND ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF TROTTING-HORSE BREEDERS, DECEMBER 14, 1887.]

In order to define what constitutes a trot ting- bred borseand to estab-
lish a. bbeed of trotters on a more intelligent basis, the following
rules are adopted to control admission to tbe records of pedigrees.
When an animal meets the requirements of admission and i~ duly
registered, it shall be accepted as a standard trotting-bred animal: —

Fibst. — Any stallion that has himself a record of two minutes and
thirty seconds (2:30) or better, provided any of bis get has a record of
2:35 or better, or provided his sire or his dam is already a standard
animal.

Second. — Any mare or gelding that has a record of 2:30 or better.

Third. — Any horse that is the sire of two animals with a record of
2:30 or better.

Foobih. — Any horse that is the sire of one animal with a record of
2:30 or better, provided he has either of the additional qualifications:
(1) A record himself of 2:35 or better. (2) Is tbe sire of two other
animals with a record of 2:35 or better, (v) Has a sire or dam that is
already a standard animal.

Fifth. -Any mare that haa produced an animal with a record of
2:30 or better.

Sixth. -The progeny of a standard horse when out of a standard
mare.

Seventh.— The female progeny of a standard horse when out of
mare by a standard horse.

Eighth. — The female progeny of a standard horse when out of
mare whose dam is a standard mare.

Ninth. - Any mare that has a record of 2:35 or better, and who
sire or dam is a standard animal.

We have received from the office of Senator Leland Stan-
ford the new catalogue of the stock at Palo Alto for the year
1889. As a natural consequence. Electioneer starts the real-
ing matter, and it is pleasant to state that he has made a
large addition to the number in the 2:30 list as compared
with last year, and has added greatly to the reputation of
Calif or n: a aB a horse-breeding State. The work shows that
forty-eight trotters are credited to him, which is a larger
number than any living Btallion has in the list, and one
pacer (Peruvian Bitteifc) is also attributed to him. Of the
new comers this year, there are:

Norval 2:17J

Hattie D (three-year-old) 2:22

Palo Alto Belle (three year-old) 2:22i

Campbell's Electioneer (three-year-old) 2:2'.; J

Gov. Stanford (iour-year-old) 2:23$

Arol i:24i

Emaline 2 :27$

Pedlar (two-year-old) 2:27$

Egotist 2:29

Ella 2:29

Grace Lee 2:S9J

Del Mar 2 :3u

Of those who have reduced their records during the present
year, we find:

Former Record. New Record.

Sunol 2:18 2:10*

Palo Alto 2:2ui 2:12i

hxpress 2:29£. 2:21

Arbutus 2:30 2:24j

The above is a grand showing, and is in direct proof of
Senator Stanford's rare judgment in the selection ot horses.
Of no other stallion in the country can such a showing be
made, and, while his owner may feel a gratification in the
possession of such a prolific sire, every horBeman in Cali-
fornia has the satisfaction of knowing that the honors of
Electioneer reflect a credit and glory to the State at large.
As to his ability to breed on, we have ample proof, his son,
Anteeo, having two in the list in California this' year; Alfred
G., 2:19jJ, and Redwood, 2:24. Of a truth it maybe said,
Electioneers is a family that will not only train on, but will
breed on as well.

Among the other stallions enumerated in the catalogue are.
Ansel, 2:20, Palo Alto, 2:12$, Clay, 2:25, Whips, 2:27$, Az-
moor, 2:24f, Electricity 5344, by Electioneer, dam Midnight
(dam of Jay-Eye-See, 2:10, and Noontide, 2:20$), Nephew
1220, Piedmont, 2:17$, and here it will be appropriate to say
a few words for the magnificent horse, of whom it was once
said, that, "there never was his equal going down the line."
Last year he had to his credit one solitary entry in the list,
Pequot, 2:26; to-day he has seven, having added half a
dozen this year. Thev are, Sport, 2:22$, Lonia, 2:22£, Ira,
2:24* (his first race), Carlisle, 2:26$, Marion, 2:26£, and Stan-
ford; 2:30.

All the great speed producing lines of the celebrated trot-
ting families are centered in Piedmont, together with a cross
of thoroughbred blood through the grandam, who was by
Grey Eagle. This noted horse is now on the high road to
success, and much may be expected of him. Still another of
the stock stallions is Liberty, a son of Piedmont. Benefit
5327, Macbenton, Wildnut, Wildboy, Beverly, Alfred 5328,
Alban 5332, Benton Frolic, Mohawk Chief, and last, though
not last to bring up the rear is Gen. Benton 1755, with fifteen
in the list. Heie on the coast we have this season two fine
sons of this great sire, Lord Byron, four years old, who trot-
ted the first and fifth heat of a race at Sacramento in 2:18,
and all five of the heats were under 2:Z0. Big Jim, out of the
dam of Palo Alto, made a record of 2:23*. Of the broodmares, it
is sufficient to say that there is no establishment in existence
that can compare with it in point of numbers, and as to the
breeding of the matrons, none can surpass them in excellence.
A hasty glance through the book shows 333 broodmares on
the broad acreB of the two farms, and for blood lines and
individuality, they are the equal of any to be found in the
country. Among the young stock there are twelve stallions;
also seven coltB of 1885, twenty of 1887, and forty-seven of
1888; thtre are also eighteen geldings and nine fillies.

The thoroughbred department is not forgotten, and thirty-
seven pages are devoted to the bangtails. Of tbe Btallions
there are Flood, by Norfolk, dam Hennie Farrow; Shannon,
by Monday, dam Hennie Farrow; Argyle, by Monday, dam
Cuba, and imp. Cyrus by Wenlock, dam imp. Teardrop.
Every broodmare in tbe list has been selected for individual
merit, combined with royal pedigree, and it is not to be
wondered at that the establishment can turn out such famous
racers as Racine, Flambeau, Rico. Fauetine, Peel aud Muta
In theintroduction to the catalogue, an invitation is extended
to visitors to call and examine the stock, whether they con-
template purchasing or not, on all dajB except Sunday. The
trotting department is under the superintendence' of Charles
Marvin, while Henry Walsh has the charge of the thorough-
breds.

The programme included tive races, but owing to the de-
lavs at the post, only four were run off. Col. Thornton's
Abi scored a popular victory in the first race, and although
she got badlv away, she won handily at the finish.

The Vestal Stakes was won by Hazlett's superior judgment
in selecting the hardest and best going while Faustine ran
in tbe deep ground in the middle of the track. Kitty Van
readily captured the rive furlongs and Guido wound up the
day by upsetting an s. t. b. certainty in Marigold.

Tbe one particolar feauture of the day waB that every win-
ner came down the Btretch on the outside, which waB the
ody place where the track was fairly good.

The officials for the day were: Judges— R. T. Carroll, J. N.
Bailbache and W. Coombs. Timers— E Bither, O. A. Hiek-
ok aud A. GonzaleB. Starter— Gapt. T. F. Meagher. Sec'y—
E. S. Culver.

Punctually at two o'clock the first race was called up, ten
horses facing the starter for a three-quarter dash. Betting
was not very lively in the auctions, but in the books a good
deal of business was done, the Montana contingent plunging
heavily on Jubilee Jjwhile the local talent backed Abi and
Daisy *D. The auctions sold Jubilee $25, Abi $18, Tycoon
$7. and the field $b\

In the books, Jubilee 8 to 5 straight and 3 to 5 for a place;
Abi 3 to 1, 1 to 1; Daisy D. 6 to 1, 2 to 1; Tycoon 5 to 1, S to
5; SongstresB 8 to 1, 3 to 1; Jubilee, Coloma, Fannie F., Dew-
drop aud Jou Jou each at 30 to 1, and 10 to 1 for a place.

A long time was passed at the post breakaway after break-
away taking place and to increase the delay, Dennison's Btir-
rap broke. When a fresh one had been procured several
more false starts took place, Jubilee being in front every time
while Dew Drop and Naheau stood still. At last the flag fell
to a fairly good start. Jobilee and Fannie F. having a little
the best of it, were soon a length in front of Songstress and
Daisy D. while Abi waslast but one. Narvice sent Songstress to
the tront aud at the half mile post was half a length in front
of Jubilee with Fannie F. a length back third aod Daisy close
up fourth. Songstress increased her lead round the turn
while Abi came out from the ruok. When the stretch was
reached the field all went wide on the hard going and Daisy
D. soon showed in front looking all over a winner at the fur-
long pole but Abi on the extreme outside came with a rnsh
and despite Dennison's effort on Daisy won easily by an open
length, Fannie three lengths back third just clear of Tycoon,
Jobilee and Songstress.

Purse ?I00; $60 to Becond, 825 to third for three year olds and up-
wards. Winners of any race over this diBtance (handicaps and Belling
raceB excepted) to carry three poundB; of two such races five pounds;

8hannon and Joe Viva each 6 to I.

The flag was dropped at tbe first attempt. Joe Viva cutting
ont the puce, led past the staud with tbe others close up.
Going round the first turn flazlett, on Louihe M, who had
gone on the outside in tbe hard going, cut across and soon
opened up a gap of four lengths, which she kept all the way
up tbe back stretch, airi on the upper turn was three lengths
in front of Faostine, with Joe Viva two lengtbB farther back.
Louise M was in front at the furlong pole and tbe heavy
going not suiting, Hazlett pulled across Faustine and again
took the lead, going on tbe outside, and after a hard finish
beat Faustine by a sbort head. Glen Ellen was a bad third.

anxious to get away, the flag was dropped, with Kitty Van
having a little the best of it. Hazlett sent her right along,
followed by Sunday, to the head of the stretch. Hazlett
again took tbe outside and won easily by a couple of lengths.

THIRD DAY.

The San Francisco public are unwilling to turn out, no
matter what the inducement at the race track, unless the sun
is shining brightly. Thanksgiving Day was dark and cloudy
yet the atmosphere was pleasant and agreeable and ten thous-
and people should have passed the gate, but not more than
two thousand were present to witness an enjoyable after-
noon's sport, and see some of the best thoroughbreds in
America. The bookmakers were present in full force, there
being also a combination stand, in addition to the regular
auction pools. The ladies were their in goodly number and
added greatly to the lively scene by the brilliancy of their
dresses and enthusiastic applause whenever one of thier favor-
ites won.

There were many familiar faces present, and the lovers of
the Sport of Kings were to be seen at every turn. Ab four
of tbe Palo Alto thoroughbredfi were to start, it is only nat-
ural that Mr. Ariel Lathrop and the faithful trainer, Heory
Walsh, were on baud. Good natured Dan Donnelly from
Sutter Creek was a keen spectator, but he was heard to say
that he would rather see Stamboul trot in 2:10 than see ail
the bangtails in the country. The judiciary waB represented
in J. M. McShafter, the owner of Louise M. and Judges Le-
vy and Lawler. The trotting horse contingent were out in
full force, tbere being, Hickok, Dostin, Bither, Brandow
and Davis of the drawing fraternity, while the owners of
horBes with the acquired gait, were to numerous to mention.
Lot Slocutn and C. S. Crittenden were seen hobnobbing with
tbeir friends, and John MeKerron had a pleasant word for
everybody. C L. Woods, the owner of Allorita 2:28J, was
up from San Lus ObiBpo, and Tim Bernard was down from
Cuico.

An old familiar face, but one now rarely seen, was that of
Mr. Judson, the owner of the great race horse Wlldidle. Si-
mon Seymour, of the Rofs House, San Francisco, an'1 Mr.
Perkins, of^ the Holtcn Hoote, Po tldnd, were conspeaous
personages. Mose Gunst waB trying to arrange for the new
event which will be called tbe Tobacco Stake. L E. Claw-
son had forgotten for the moment all about sewer pipes and
was expatiating on the merits of a horse that was going to
beat Big Jim's record. Dr Ross, owner of imp Cheviot, was
rubbing elbows with Jeff Knight to whom belongs imp In-
truder. As usual the visitors from the Blue GrasB region
were there as was also Mr. Du Bois, the owner of Superior
2:19}. B. C. Holly was on hand from Vallejo, talking about
the merits of Mouutain Boy. A. B. Sprecbles was thereto
enjoy the sport and have a good time. Charley ChaBe and Ed
Smith were discussing tbe probability of Wbisban being able
to win, and both had to confess that the chances were in fav-
or of Racine. L. J. Ros6 was up from Los Angeles arranging
to take Stamboul down there to beat 2:12. In tact all the
gentlemen of the State with Bportiog proclivities were to be
seen on the members' stand or around the pool box: At the
time of writing (Friday morning) the sky loots over cast
with a strong probability tbat it will rain shortly.' However,
if the weather remains clear, the meeting will terminate to-
morrow with the best card of the season.

The day's racing all round was very good, large tieids
turned out in every instance, the first race was won by Oro
who was heavily backed by the Hazlitt Coterie, the half mile
and repeat waB won in straight heats by Rondo, the big Mon,
taoa chestnut winning cleverly. The Autumn States left
every one in doubt as to whether Racine or Flambeau was
the best, neither of them were touched, and Muta from tbe
same stable finished third. The Fame Stakes was consid-
ered a very open race. Hotspnr beat Picnio and Wild Oats
at Sacramento in a mile and a half while Faustine waB next
expected to Btay the route but after Louis P. had run him-
self out, she went to the front and won after a desperate fin-
ish with Picnio who came fast in the stretch. In the last race
Painkiller was never headed; the favorite, Black Pilot, judic-
iously kept in the middle of the procession and did not run
any better than in his previous essay.

The officials for the day were: Judges— Col. H. I. Thorn-
ton, Ariel Lathrop aud Carleton Coleman. Timers— O. A
Hickok and L. J. Rose. Starters— Henry Walsh and W
Coombs. Secretary— E S. Culver.

Promptly at one o'clock the horses eame out for the first
race, a mile and a sixteenth, with thirteen starters. No pools
were sold but a good deal of money was inverted in the
books Kildare aud Tom Daly 3 to 1, Oro 4 to 1; Jack Bra-
dy and Nerva H to 1; Applause, Black Pilot Forester and Ida
Uleu 16 to 1; Penpnne aud Bessie Shannon 20 to 1: Morton
aud Jou Jou 30 to 1. ' .

A start was effected at the second attempt, with Ida Glenn
a little in front and sent right along. She set the pace to
the head of the stretch with Forester hard ridden to k^-ep up
with her. Going round the upper turn Jou Jou came fast

and looked like winning but died away again, and Kildare,
Oro, Tom Daly and Brady all challenged the leader and after
a tight finish Oro won by a neck, Tom Daly a length in front
of Brady, who was just clear of Kildare and ApplauBe. Peri-
grine finished a bad last. Myers was suspended for Bix
months for suspicions riding on Black Pilot.

SUMMARY.

?1200. Two pounds allowed for each Jlou lesB down to 58i0, then one

The second race, a half mile and repeat, brought out an-
other good field, eleven horseB facing the starter. The boofc
betting before the first heat was Kitty Van 6 to 5; Daisy D.
3 to 1; Sunday 4 to i; Snsie S, Rondo and Painkiller 6 to 1,
Sleepy Dick 10 to 1: Johnny Gi ay, Applause and Dewdrop
20 to 1; Stoneman 30 to 1.

A long delay occurred at the post and after breaking away
innumerable times the flag fell with Hondo and Painkiller in
fiont. Bound] the turn the order was Eondo, Painkiller,
Sunday, Sleepy Dick, with Daisy D in the middle of the rest
and Applause last. Bondo won easily from Sunday a length
in front of Kitty Van, Painkiller next, Stoneman and Ap-
plause distanced. Time :48f.

The second heat waB productive of sharp betting. Kitty
Van sold favorite in the poclB at $30 to $20 each for Bondo
and the Field. In the books Kitty Van 6 to 5, Bondo 8 to 5,
Daisy D 4 to 1, Sunday 5 to J. Susie S and Painkiller 10 to 1,
Johnny Gray, Dewdrop and Sleepy Dick 30 to 1.

After a long delay at the post a s'art was effected, with
Kitty Van two lengths in front. Painkiller and Hondo fol-
lowed her round the turn, with Sunday just clear of the rest.
At the head of the stretch there was nothing much to choose
between Rondo, Kitty Van and Painkiller. Rondo and Kitty
drew away in the stretch, and with Kitty swerving acropsthe
track, Rondo won easily by two lengths, Kitty Van a length
in front of Painkiller.

are desirable acquisitions as the prospective purchaser can
get a better idea of what the youngsters are capable of doing.

Mr Salisbury wishes he were t«enty-five years yonn-
BBr so that he might serve as an apprentice to Bndd
Doble for the old gentleman thinks that Bndd is the grea'est
driver' in the world. He watched him closely while back East
and admires the genius of the celebrated knight of the sul-
ky.

The Brighton tBeach Racing Association, in accordance
with the Constitution, reports the grand total of gross receiptB
for admission to race tracks of the association was $44,227.50.
Of this amount the tax ou gross gate receiptB was $2,211.37,
a cheque for which was forwarded to Albany.

A new feature will be inaugurated at Prospect Hill Farm'
Franklin, Pa , the coming winler. Mr. Sibley intends to
have his half-mile track thoroughly sprinkled as soon as
Jack Frost pnts in an appearance, and by following this plan
should the winter be ordinarily cold, a good coating of snow
and ice will soon be formed. Then the youngsters will be
shod sharp and the winter training begun.

There are some horses taut are apt to have sore shoulders
in spile of all care in fitting the collar. Washing with strong
Bait water or vinegar is a common remedy for hardening the
shonlder, but according to a German authority much better
results can be obtained by washing every night with water in
which a quantity of bark of the red oak has been steeped.
Two hands full of the bark to a pail of water is the right pro-
portion, and two days' steeping is said to make the liquid
etrong enough for use.

The sooner all racing organizations throughout the state
use coupon tickets the better it will be from a financial point
of view. The Directors at Napa and several other places
were robbed on the circuit by the use of season tickets, and
now the Bluod Horse Directors have discovered that season
ticketB have been shoved through the fences to outsiders and
there is no telling how many persons have obtained entrance
on one ticket. Ude the coupon tickets it may cost a trifle
moie to start with, but it will save money in the long run.

The new Guttenburg race track is a verv different affair
from the old one, and is fullv the equal of any of the New
York tracks. Over $350,000 have been expended in making
it what it is, $40,000 of which went to provide the most
perfect system of drainage that could be devised. The grand
stand and betting ring are inclosed in glass, so that winter
racing at the track does not meau exposure to bad weather
while at the track. The course is a fall mile, and so graded
that water runs from it as from a duck's back.

Mr. A. J. Cassatt has presented Eorus to his trainer, Mr.
John Huggins, who will train the well-known son of Eolus
next season in connection with the public stable he is about
to open. As will be remembered Emus broke down after win-
ning the race for the Monmouth handicap at Monmouth in
August last. Mr. Cassatt did not offer him at his recent sale,
but reserved him, hoping the horse might yet be trained, al-
though he thought it doubtful. Huggins, however, thinss
the horse will stand, and proposes to try it.

A rather good itory — a true old, by the way — comes from
Bananaland. A and B made a private match to run their
horses for quite a respectable stake. B "got at" the lad who
was to ride A's horse, and the ±J party "went Nap," all the
money in the market. A. who is a tip top horseman, had
quitely sweated himself down to the necessary weight, and,
upan the eventful day, put his colors on uuder his ordinary
rig-out. Just before the start A stripped off. and, telling the
jockey he would not require him for the race, took the mount
hioself, won in a canter, and — tableau.

W. S. Hofcart has suggested a first rate idea for putting
tracks in condition to race upon within a short time after rain
ceases to fall. He fancies tbat the large iron rollers used by
the layers of bituminous rock pavements, those with Ores in-
side of them, might be used to advantage in drying out the
upper strata of dirt, which would enable the scrapers, rollers
etc., to be used the following day after a rain, and on the af-
ternoon of that same day races might take place. The owner
of Stamboul has hit upon a happy idea, and it might pay to
try it.

Jockey Garrison last week, at Clifton, purchased a race
horse for $300. This is not an extensively large price to give
for a thoroughbred, and such a well knowu oneaB Banbridge,
who was formerly the property of Senator Hearst; but still
tha* was more than some were williDg to give. Then, after
getting the horse, Garrison offered to match the horse against
his late owner's Troy, the winner to take both animals, but
Alfey could not see it in that light.

BASE BALL.

Manaeer Itobinson's Reprehensible Action-
Arrival of the Boston Team.

A turf writer excepts to the use of the word "performers"
as applied to the horses that made records of 2:30 or better.
If life was not so short, it might be better in each instance to
specify whether the animal that made such a record was a
pacer or trotter. But this is not alwajs necesssry, and it is
easier, briefer and therefore in many instances better to use
the generic instead of the more specific term. Where it is
necessary to make the distinction it is entirely correct to say
pacer or trolter as the case maybe. This objection comes
from a writer who is opposed to admitting the pacer to the
standard.

A capital way to dry a horse after a sweat when the wea-
ther will permit, is to bring him straight from his race to
some sunny spot out side the star-lea, sponge him freely with
water, either warm or cold, over every part of his skin, and
quickly scrape with hoop iron, and rob dry with towels.
This will refresh the horse and make him dry and comforta-
ble in a ranch shorter tim? than be could be dried without
water. It is a most refreshing process for any heated horse
to go through at any time, one that they thoroughly enjoy,
and that will prepare them for a second exertion more quick-
ly than anything else we know of.

When the seven furlong race for two-year-olds wai handi-
capped it provoked a good deal of criticism, some few going
so far that they said Matt Storn had better take down the
purse at once with Marigold. Henry Walsh judicious y
scratched the Palo Alto entries and Guido won after a pretty
race all round.

During the days that raoing was impossible, the Breeder
Ayi> Sportsman's office was the recognized headquarters for
raoing men. As a natural consequence many boasts were
mide a3 to the relative merits of various horses. At least
three owners get together and arranged a race in which S200
a side will be put np, the winner to take the moDey, and the
owners of the second and third horse will throw the dice to
see who Bhall have the winning horse, as the owner of the
winner has to relinquish all claim to ihe animM. The mon-
ey taken in at the gate will go to some charitable institution.
The day has not yet been set for the race.

Arrangements have been made by which George Hankins,
Eugene Leigh and Tom Kiley will be equally interested in the
Chicago stable next season . All will pool their horses Leigh
and Kiley will train, Kiley will ride the heavy-weight mounts,
and Bob Francis and Gerhardy will do the light-weight rid-
ing.

Kiley, in outlining next season's work, said: "We shall
begin at Nashville and stay on the Western circuit till the
close of the Washington Park meeting Then I shall go
East with most of the stable, while Leigh will ubo the reBt
at the West Side track here. The stable will be large
enough to keep three jockeys and two trainers."

Henrv Walsh tells roe that in all probability he will go
with the Rose thoroughbreds to the East next year, and if
if he doss Kicine and Elambeau will be in the strmp. He
will still remain in the employ of the Palo Alto S ock Farm,
but will have full charge of the Rose Stable. Henry is one
of the very best trainers in the country and will carry the
colors of the front.

Some weeks ago the bay gelding Pliny was severely injured

been a severe blow to the stable, as when the accident hap-
pened he was fit to race for a man's life.

Railroad Commissioner James W. Rae has the nucleus
for breeding fast trotteTs on his place of eighty acres just
north of San Jose, says the Redwood Times and Gazette.
The farm is well watered and finely equipped. On it he has
the Electioneer Stallion AatinoDS, out of American Girl; alBO
the following well-bred mares: Magdallah, with a r- cord of
2:22±; Big Liz, 2:23±: the thoroughbred Lillie McEwing, a
full sister to Modoc Chief; Lexita by Partisan; a filly by Ab-
botrsford, out of Baby Mine; a filly by Piedmont, out of
Bonnie; a mare by Nutwood, out of Lady Firmer, and a
mar« by Electioneer, out of Lady Farmer. For a starter
Jim has a fioe string and the raoing world will hear from hiB
colts in the near future.

The St. Louis Republic says that Gen. Robinson, presi-
dent of the Kentucky Association, proposes the establish-
ment of a new stake, to be called the Kentucky Jack Po'
stake, for three-vear-olds and over, to be run every spring
over the three Kentucky courses, Lexington. Louisville and
Latonia, in the order of the dates of their meetings. There
are to be three races for the pot at one and an eighth, one
and a qoarter and one aud a half miles; one race at each
track. By the terms of the stake, the jack pot, if not won
by one horse in a single year, may in a series of years amount
to a great deal of money and become one of the great stakes
of the country. Gen. Robinson will submit his proposition
to the other clubs, and upon their acceptance the stake and
its conditions will be given to the public

Who flies the pennant? That is a question that ought to
have been decided last Sunday, but the p-cnliar action of
Colonel T. P. Robinson in reference to the last game of the
season has left the matter for the Board of Directors of the
California Leagne to settle. The race for the flag was a mag-
nificent one, and nothing onght to have been thrown in the
way of a fair and square finish, bat the Oakland manager,
unnerved by ihe loss of Saturday's game, resorted to tactics
that be knew conld not succeed, and which anybody with a
grain of sense w^uld have seen could not but cast a lasting
reflection upon the honesty and integrity of the California
League. Culooel Robinson Knew when he engaged Van Hal-
tren, Carroll and Brown to play with his team, that the
former two were already under contract with clubs of the
League for the season, and that bis action was in direct viola-
tion of the rules of the California Leagne and the National
Agreement: besides he had previously filed a formal protest
with the Directors against allowing these men to participate
in any championship games of the League. Bat this is not
all. When ManagerFinn learned on Saturday that Robinson
intended to play these men, he immediattly notified the
latter that he (Finn) would not allow his team to play. Yet
despite this notification, Robinson persisted in taking the
National League men onto the field and insisted upon using
them. Fnn was right in refusing to allow his team to play
under the circumstances, and after Sheridan declared the
game forfeited to Oakland, tiled a protest with the League
Directors.

The 20,000 people present were clamoring for play to pro-
ceed, and Robinson, who began to realize tbat he had made
a monkey of himself askej Finn to play an exhibition game.
The latter was obdurate and told the Colonel that as long as
he had got the pennant, he could give the people back their
money; tbat he would not let his men go in against the
Easterners. Robinson finally ugreed to withdraw the objec-
tionable men and the game proceeded with the distinct un-
derstanding that it was to be an exhibition. Finn has since
filed another protest setting forth that Yeach had not been
released by Sacramento and asking that all the gamei he had
played wfth Oakland be thrown out. Che directors will
meet aud undoubtedly either order the game to be played
over or declare the San Francisco Club entitled to the rag.
In the former event Finn Bays the game must be played with
open gates, or else the proceeds must be divided among the
charitable institutions of the city.

Manager Jim Hart and his ball players selected from the
Boston team arrived Wednesday. Hart is more than pleased
to be in San Francisco again, and has been kept busy ever
since his arrival, greetiug bis countless friends in this city.
Mr. Hart is the best known and most popular baseball man-
ager in the country, and his winter visits to this .coast are
looked forward to with tbe keenest delight by the patrons of
the game, for he always brings the best attractions to he ob-
tained with him. ThiB year he has Clarkson and Radboome,
the greatest pitchers in the business; Bennett and Gauzel two
noted catchers; John Morrell, the great first baseman; Billy
Nash, who disputes the title of king of third basemen with
onr Jerry Denny; Dickey Johnson, who is equalled by none
in the ouifield; besides ToinB:own and Smith, both of whom
are too well known to need further mention. Baseball will
boom in this city this winter, as both Harris and Robinson
have abandoned their foreign trips.

Jimmy Fogarty of the Philadelphia clob arrived Wednes-
day from the East, via Los Angeles, and will be seen in the
uuiform of one of the local clubs at the Haight street grounds
during the winter. Thus far since his arrival he has been
busilv engaged in making life unbearable for Senator Gagus.
And bo Kelly the Great is to be with us this week. The
ostensible object of "KelTs" visit is to secure the signatures
of the Boston players to Brotherhood contracts, bat it is more
than likely that he will ba seen in uniform while he is here.
Clark has been offered $2,500 a year to join the Brother-
hood. He would like to remain in this city if he could se-
cure his release from Omaha.

Finn says that at the annual meeting of the LepgU9 Direct-
ors he will make a strong effort to have Robinson expelled
for violating the rules in engaging men who were already un-
der contract with other elnbs. It looks as though there
might be some fun between these two magnates bef reloDg.

Clarkson may be, and undoubtedly is, a great pitcher, tut
it is more than doubtfnl if he could go into the box and
pitch as strong a game as either Coaghlan or Clarke did last
Sunday, and under the same conditions. The excitement
was intense, and the strain on these two men must have be n
very great, yet their movements were like clockwork, and
their delivery the most puzzling. Coaghlan pitching the great
game of his life, while the work of his opponent was bnt
little behind. When it is taken into consideration that it was
the fourth game the latter had pitched in as many days, aud
that he had won the first three, his work was phen
and taking his record for the week, it was tbe gr
made by a base ball pitcher. Clarke and Cooghlat.
serve to be clashed in the front rank of twiilers.

Bets on lust Sunday's game should Dot be paid
action of the Directors is made known.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphlppus.

The sporting events of the p*st week were numerous.

On Monday evening the regular monthly exhibition of the
Occidental Club was beld.

On Thanksgiving Day the Olympic Athletic Clnb held its
annual fall games.

On the same day the Oarsmen held a regatta at Sausalito,
while the Wheelmen held a race meeting at Napa.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JCMPER3, ETC.

Thanksgiving Day, 1889, has passed by and the athletes
are happy once more. Even tbose who were defeated can-
not refrain from giving a sigh of relief because the hard and
monotonous task of training has been temporarily finished.
The boys can dot conscientiously put by their spikes until
after the holidays.

A resume of the Olympic Athletic Club's out-door meeting
which was held on the campus at Berkeley on Thursday last,
will appear in these columns nest week.

The in-door athletic meeting of the P. C. A. A. A„ which
will be held in the Mechanics' Pavilion in January nest, will
be the opening athletic event for 1S90, and on Washington's
Birthday, a month later, the new out-door grounds of, the
Olympic Club will be formally opened. The regular annual
championship games under the auspices of the P. C. A. A.
A , will take place on May 30th. Ou July 4th the O. A. C.
will probably hold a mid-summer handicap meeting, and on
Admission Day the chances of another field day being held
are good. Thanksgiving Day the annual fall games of the
O. A. C. will wind up the year. On the whole, the athletic
prospect for 1890 is very bright, and the athletes will scarcely
liar e any cause to growl.

In about two weeks a new amateur athletic club will be
organized. The club will be composed of several of tbe lead-
ing men on the Pacific Coast, including many of the crack
amateurs of the Golden Gate, Pacific, California and Olympic
Athletic Clubs. The club will have its own out door grounds
and a tine gymnasium. The committee who have the under-
taking in hand will address a lengthy circnlar to every athlete
whom they think would make a good member, and every ef-
fort will be made to bar out the rough element so commonly
met with in the different athletic clubs. The objects of tbe
club will be manifold: the chief object being to foster out-
door sports. Inducements will be offered the members to
keep in constant practice so that when they represent their
club at open athletic meetings, they will be fully prepared to
battle with the other champions for victory.

The organization will not be an aristocratic one; it will be
conducted as a gentleman's club and one memberwill be con-
sidered as good as another. There is room for two first-class
amateur athletic clubs in San Francisco, and as the Olympic
is the only one in esisteoce at present, we earnestly hope
that the proposed amateur club will prove as big a success as
its promoters anticipate.

Some of the old'uns will be surprised at tbe nest champion-
ship games. The new men already in the field are numerous
but by nest May there iB no telling how many more record
breakers will have taken up their residence on the Pacific
Coast. Hennessey. Haley and Cassidy, the latest importa-
tions, are looked upon as being bad men to cope with and the
present champions cannot afford to let the grass grow under
their feet for two months previous to May 30th.

The juvenile boring class at the Olympic Club in charge of
Professor Corbett, is making rapid progress. Several of the
youngsters already give promiee of becoming famous in the
fistic arena.

Immediately after the late boxing tournament, J. F. Lar-
kin hurried to the barbers and had his magnificent mutton-
chops removed. It was a bright idea, and now he can walk
abroad in peace.

The Lurline Club will apply for admission to the P. C. A.
A. A.

AT THE OAES.

In our nest issue an account of the Thanksgiving Day re-
gatta will appear.

Ed. Finley of the Ariels is considering the advisability of
buying a single shell. Mr. Finley, although a comparatively
new man at the oars, shows signs of developing into an A 1
oarsman.

P. H. McDonald, H. StokeB, Ed Hoinan and P. Brennan
rowed to the Lurline opening on last Sunday.

The challenge from the Ariel Club which originally ap-
peared in our last issue has not been accepted so far. It has
evidently set the different crews alhinking, and the Ariel
crew are more anxious than ever to have a go for the cham-
pion b hip.

Epsy Bros., C. Cnmminga and Ned Bennett constituted
the crew that represented the Pioneer Club at North Beach
on Sunday.

Efforts will be made to hold a monster regatta on Wash-
ington's Birthday. Should all the clnbs join hands the af-
fair should prove a grand success.

The membership of the Ariel Club increases daily. The
members are all young men who take an active part in row-
ing affairs, and next year the club should certainly turn out
several crack crews,

The idea of organizing a rowing club in connection with
the Olympic Club has been ubandoned for the present.

THE WHBELMKS.

The acoount of the race meet at Napa came to hand too
jate for insertion in the present issue. Next week however
jt will appear.

G. P. Wet more of the Bay City wheelmen is a very promis-
ing young rider.

There iB a poaibility that Napa will be the scene of another
race meet on July 4th.

The professional riders are at present giving exhibitions
tip North. Helen Baldwin won the bix day race which ended
ut Portland, Or., on Saturday night.

CLUB JOTTI

The exhibition giveo by the Occidental Club on Monday
evening last was well attended.

The California Clnb is heavily in debt. The amatenr
annex is evidently on tbe wane, and a general fa ill by its
Lading members may be expected at any time. When the
California Clnb invited the best amateur athletes of the Gol.
den Gate Club, including Egan, White, Gafney, Sexsmith

Yates, Sachs, Holland, and others to join its ranks without
payment of the nsual initiation fee, it also gave them prom-
ises which so far it has failed to keep.

The benefit-exhibition of the Pacific Athletic Club which
took place on Tuesday evening last was a splendid sueceBS.
Nest week we will print a summary of the different events.

It is reported that several of the provincial athletic clnbs
will apply for membership in the P. C. A. A. A.

Now that W. Greer Harrison is no longer president of the
Olympic Club, it would be a very difficult task to guess when
the new building will be erected.

jottings from all over.
James Watts has been elected captain of the cross-country
team of the Union Athletic Club of Brooklyn, N. Y.( and G.
Filzgerald is now captain of the Star's team.

The benefit-meeting tendered Trackmaster F. S. Pitts by
the New Jersey Athletic Club on Saturday afternooo, Nov.
16th, was largely attended. The following were the results:
Foor'-mile run to beat record— F. H. Day, N. J. A. C, 1st,

The Board of Managers of the Amateur Athletic Union held
a meeting on the evening of November 10th, at which it was
decided that all organizations that desired to hold games
under the rules of the Union shoold notify the secretary of
the central bo ay of the date wanted, and if the schedule
committee had no previous application for the date, it would
be awarded. It was found necessary to lake this action for
the reason that semi-professional organizations are in the
habit of announcing athletic eshibitionB and bosiog tourna-
ments as being held under the rules of the A. A. U., and it is
desired to put a stop to the practice, which can be most
effectually done in no other way than that decided upon.

Indoor Sports — A j jint athletic meetiog and reception will
be held by Company K, Thirteenth Regiment, N. G., S. N.
Y., and the Acorn Athletic Association, at the Armory, Flat-

HIGH JINKS.
THE FIRST EXHIBITION OE THE LUBLIN E CLUE.

About 500 fortunate individuals received invitations to be
present at the Grand Jollification of the Lurline Swimming,
Boating, and Athletic Club at the Club roomB on Ba> Street,
last Sunday. An elegaut lunch was Berved and many or the
visitors preferred imbibing, whiskey, beer, or lemonade tint-
ed with sherry in preference to the -'hot tar, mucilage" etc.,
mentioned on the bill of fare A fine programme of sports
was arranged and every thing possible done to entertain the
guest of the Club.

Shortly after one o'clock the first evenl on the programme
was announced, It was a wherry race, distancetwo miles. The
entries were C. Arlegnes, Aug F. Schuppert, J. B. Solomon,
G. M. Dnffrld and E. Seibel all of the Triton Swimming and
Boating club. Tbe race was won by Artegnes by five
lengthB. Prize a gold medal.

The second event was a four oared barge race for which
four crews were entered. The South end. Pioneer and Doe-
pbin crews, however, failed to show up nod the Ariel orew
stood alone at tbe scratch. Not wiBhiug to disappaint the au-
dience it was decided to allow a mixed orew from the Ariels
to row against the regular crew. A good start was effected,
and the mixed crew iu charge of H. O. Farrell at ones tooK
the lead. The tide was dead against the boats and it was on-
ly by rowing several hundred yards ahead of the stake boat
that it conld be reached at all so strong was the current.
The mixed crew owing to good mauagment reached tne turn-
ing point several lengthn ahead, Tbe race home was exciting
and the people on tbe shore yelled themselves hoarse.

The regular crew hud practiced together previous to the
race, and were frtsher at the finish. They won by about five
lengths. Time. 10 minoteH 30 seconds. Prize, a Silver Row-
ing Goblet. The regular crew waa made up of W. P. Ham-
ahan, bow; M Coffey, fd. waist; George Phelan, aft waist;
H. Welkoff, stroke; A Carroll, DOX The mixed crew was

composed of H. O. Farrell, bow; L. F. Nnnan, fd. waist; C.
A, Pless, aft waist; Ed. Finley, stroke; Ed. Carroll, cox.

The third event was a race for pleasure barges. The Triton
Club was represented by two crews as fdlows; Barge "Lady
Washiugton," L. B. Solomon, bow; J. Fairchild, fd. waist;
Aug. Schuppert. Btroke, B. F. Kebrlein, cos. Barge "Argo-
naut," J. L. KehrleiD. bow; Chas Artigoes, fd. waist; F. An-
regay, aft waist; F. W. Leibel, stroke; Val Kehrlein, cox.
This race also proved to be an exciting one. The boats got
an even start and kept close company all over tbe course un-
til close to the finish, when the crew in the "Washington"
spurted and won the race by about a foot. The prize was a
silver goblet, presented by F. H. Taufenbach.

This ended the rowing events and tbe swimming matches
began. The first race, intended to be a mile, but in reality
only about three hundred yards, was won by H. Clark. H.
Harmon coming in second. The first prize was a set of nap-
kin rings, the secand prize a scarf pin. The next race, was
a one hundred yards swim. This was a splendid contest,
William Mitchell winning by about six inches. He received
a gold medal. The one mile aod one-half mile swimmiDg
races did not come off owing to the strong tide that was run-
ning. The aquatic sports being ended, the guests retired to

BILLIARDS.

The Brnnswick-Balke-Collender Co. announced from Chi-
cago, under date of the 16th inst., that they will give two
tournaments at balk line billiards, the first to be a handicap
in lines, and to be held in New York in January next; tbe
second to be a handicap in points (Schaefer's pet project), and
to be held in Chicago thirty days after the first tournament.
The above firm offers S5.000 iu cash prize?,or $2,500 for each
tournament. Each contestant will have to pay S500 entrance
fee for the two tournaments, as a guarantee that he will
play in both. Slosson, Schaefer and Yignanx are to be re-
quired to play fourteen inch lines against the eight inch
lines of all other players: the games to consist of 500 points
each. The Eastern players insist that the handicap in points
on the Btring be announced before play is begun in the first
tournament.

A dispatch from Chicago, dated Nov. 18, says: "Jacob
Schaefer says that he will not enter the proposed balk hue
billiard tournament for the reason that a line handicap is
unfair. If the originators of the project will give two tour-
naments in conjunction with Richard Roche,' he adds, 'and
put up the prize money in equal amounts, they can name
the games — cushion carromB or balk line — as they please, so
long as they make the handicap in points, and they shall
have tbe choice of city, time and style of game for their tour-
nament, with Roche to have a like privilege in the second.' "

Missouri room keepers are having a legal tussle with what
is known as the "Newberry Law," which went into
operation Nov. 1. This law provides that no game of chance
Bhall be allowed on premises where liquor is sold and speci-
fies billiards, cards, dice, etc. ; in consequence, several hotel
keepers have been arrested for keeping a billiard room. As
billiards is in no sense a game of chance, but one of pure
skill, we can see no reason why the room keepers should not
defeat this law.

It is probably that the following players will parti-
cipate in the tournaments at balk line billiards to be held in
New York and Chicago: Slossou, Sexton.'Daly, Heiser, Ives,
Carter of this country and Gamier and Beau to represent Eur-
opeon billiards, with Scheafer, backed np by the profession in
Chicago to be heard from.

Harvey MeKenna is still lying at the New York Hospital
in a critical condition. The physicians have given all hope,
and says he may die at any moment or may possibly linger
for a couple of weeks.

Catarrh-

Catarrhal Deafness— Hay Fever— A New Home Treat-
ment

Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are con-
tagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasi-
tes iu tbe lining membrane of the noBe and eustachian tubes.
Microscopic research, however, ba<* proved this to be a fact,
aod the result of this discovery is that a simple remedy has
formulated whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever
are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications
ma^e at home by the patient onje iu two weeks.

N. B. — Thi* treatment is not a snuff or an ointment; both
have been declared by reputable physicians as injurious. A
pamphlet explaining this new treatment is sent free on re-
ceipt of stamp to pay postage, by A. H. Dixon & Son, 337

THE FARM.

Selecting Breeding Sows.

Before the young piga are put up to fatten it is time to
seleot and separate from the otherB those intended for breed-
er*. These are better not to be fattened, or at least corn fed
while growing. If they have a mo in the orchard after the
best fruit is gathered, and a little soured milk every day, they
will make a loDg rangv growth, as unlike as possible to the
sleek and fine boned animals shot up in the pen and given
no exercise. It, however, takes pretty good feeding to bring
a March or April pig np to the proper size or dropping her
first litter of pigs when she is herself a year or 13 months
old. Breeding from yonng sows always tends to drop the
litter later each season, until the pigs become so late that it
is not beat or even possible to breed them before the follow-
ing spring. This is one season why, when a good breeding
sow.is found, it pays to keep her breeding three or four
years. Her piga will be more nnmerons and stronger than
from a young, growing sow. If the sow is of some large,
coarse breed, she will grow until she is 2£ or three years old,
and all the time become a better breeder.

With Manure and Without.

Sir John Lawes has just issued his annual records of ex-
periments in the growing of crops with various manures at
Rothainstead, says the London correspondent of Bradstreets.
On one field he has grown wheat for forty-sis years in succes-
sion and it is not a little remarkable that the mean prod act
of two plots Dever manured during thirty-six years bas aver-
aged for that period 13J bushels an acre, or more than the
average yield of America, India, Russia or tho Argentine Re-
public. On another plot, to which fourteen tons of farm-
yard manure per acre have bsen applied, the average yield
for thirty-six years has been 33$ bushels. The increase has
paid handsomely for the manure, Much higher ave*a^es —
up to 36j bashels — have been obtained by the use of costly
dressings of artificial manure, but the results have not been
remunerative. Cheaper dressings of artificial manure have
paid fairly. The most remunerative one for barley would
probably have paid better than any other for wheat also, but
has not 'een tried by itself. This consists of 375 Dounds of
nitrate of soda aud Z\ cwt (392 pounds) of superphosphate
of lime, which g*ve a crop of 45J- baahels of barley psr acre
on an average of thirty-six years, as compared with 17$ bush-
els grown on the unroauured plots. This is the mixture most
co mm inly uaed by English farmers for whe*t as well as bar-
ley, only, as they pursue a rotation of cnpping; they apply
only about hUf tbe quantifies named above, less manure be-
ing required in ordinary farming than when a white-straw
crop is grown every year, as at Rothamstead.

Parthenaise Cattle.

In the department of La Vendee, in the province of Poiton>
France, is bred a race of beautiful cattle. Few breeds can
claim even two special excellences, and three pronounced
qualities are extremely rare. Tha food produced should al-
ways rank first, whether it be milk or meat, and these are
largely determined by the quality of the food elements. The
labor produced also claims attention in the several breeds of
cattle, aa an item in tbe estimation of relative values.

The Jeraeyhas the most beautiful head, the Shorthorn the
best hindqnarters. th Ay shire the broaddeep loin, the Devon
compact symmetry, the Hereford large and deep holy, the
Charolais length aud rotundity, the West Highland roundness
of rib, the Holstien the gr. atest Bow of milk, and the other
breeds their special qualities. Bat for beauty of color the
the golden harvests have no richer shades than one Parthen-
aiee, nor do any breeds of cittle show greater excellence of
form, and such evenness of quality. Whether down in the
fena, or up among the high wooded sections of La Vendee or
on the rich plains ab ut Chalet, they a^e always beaatifnl.
In color a rich creamy and mellow brown; with deep black
muzzles and legs; tapping and slightly upturn waxed horns
tipped black and of medium length, soft, fine coats and mel-
low hides, small delicate heads, fine bones, low stature, well
balanced bodies and level from bead to tail, well sprang ribs
and broad backs. The eyes are Urge, liqaid, soft and anmia.
ble, fringed with a pearly down, surrounded by a dark rim;
the muzzles also are decked with the same shade of down as
surrounds the eyes, rendering these animals the admiration
of writers, poets, and artists; and yet not all of these, includ-
ing George Sand and Rose Bonheur. have ever had influence
enough on our matter of fact breeders to induce them to
plant Buch manifold excellences upon American soil. As yet
the Parthenaise does not beautify our broad, green pastures.
— American Agriculturist.

High Prices for Sheep in Australia.

Australian papers to hand contain accounts of tbe Sydney
annual sheep sales3, which were held quite recently. Some
big prices were paid for choica animals. Prior to the sale the
leading auctioneer congratulated those present upon the mag-
nificent quality of the sheep to be submitted, and the much
brighter prospects before them in the future of the wool in-
dustry. The first sheep submitted belonged to Mr. James
Gibson, and he was knocked out after a spirited competition
for 205 gs to Mr. J C. Manchy. Another ram of the same
breeding, and shown by the same gentleman, fell to Mr. G.
Mair for 120 gs. Mr. Gibson's rams averaged £56 16s 7d. Mr.
David Taylor sent eighty-fir? rams and sold one of his bast,
a son of Little Wonder, the 205 guinea ram alluded to above,
for 70 gs. Mr. W. H. Gibson's special stud ram (says the
Melbourne Argus) excited keen competition. The three year
old ram Sacramento 2nd, by Sacramento, was purchased by
Messrs. Marshall & Slide for 145 gs; a three year old ram by
San Jose, by Mr. D. Robertson for 80 gs; and a three year
old ram by Sacramento, by Mr. Evans for 100 gs. Of Mr.
Thomas Parramore's rams the principal was Collops, a five
year old by Fortunatus, and this was secured by Mr. Bloom-
field f^r 80 gs No further notable sales took place until the
ram Flashlight, a six tooth by Young Billy, from the flock of
Mr. Charles Field, was purchased by Mr. T. R Sutton for
300 ga. Another ram from the same flock bronght 62 ga, and
an animal bred by Mr. G. W. Keach sold for 60 ga. Mr. Wil-
liam Gatenby obtained 80 gs. for Kanaka, by Yonng Billy,
which war Dnrchaaed by Mr. Martin, and Abercorn by Ring-
wood, was purchased by Mr. R. C. Gatenby, obtained 100 g-».
Mr. G L. Finlay's rams realized good prices all round. A
ram by Matchlock, from Mr. W A.Gatenby's flock, was sold
to Mr. Loader for 90 gs. A half American ram brea by Mr. B.
C. Smith, realized 55 "gs. Mr. W H. Bennett's ram Too-too,
by Sir Douglas, was sold to Mr. P Jonea for 77 gs* and Ric-
oarton, by Sir George, from Mr. G. A. Jones' draft, realized

55 gs. The Tasmanian ewes and selected rams sold well.
Mr. A. L. Faithfal's sheep, as usual, attracted considerable
attention, Mr. Kater paying 100 ga for Grand Prince 4th.

Delicate Dairying.

No matter how pure the dairy is kept, or how carefully
tbe milk is strained, to secure absolute cleanliness it is nec-
essary to strain the cream. Ose a large square of linen
cheese-cloth. It will catch the hair from the cow's bag, or
the tiny speck which occasionally gets in the milk while
set cooling. Straining the cream makes it smooth, and
seemB to facilitate churning. If the churn ie a kind which
cannot be set in ice water, and it is necessary to use ice to
change the temperature, tie the ice in a thin piece of cloth
before putting it in the churn. This will keep the grains
of sau a or other impurity frozen in the ice from getting in
the butter. Having thus secured clean, firm, butter, work
it well, adding a little sugar to the salt, and then pack in
new stone jars and deposit in the cold-storage rooms where
ice is manufactured, until such time as needed for home
consumption, or when there is a market demand at good
price. Always make brine, when possible, of distilled water.
If there is no ice manufactured near, where the price for
storage is a mere trifle, the next best plan is to dig holes,
deeper thao the butter-jars, in one corner of a cooJ, clean
cellar, and bnry"the butter until cold weather or such time
as the butter is needed. September and October are royal
months fur butter making.

Low Prices For Cattle-

It has been suggested, not without reason, that the low
price of cattle is due largely to tho extension of the railroads
of the country during the last decade or two and the conse-
quent increased facilities for getting stock to market". It is
plain to be seen that if it were not for the railroads there
would be no money in the great cattle ranches of the western
States and Territories, and the probability is that they would
not exist. Cattle from these extreme points can now be
rnsbed into market in a few hours, and this faot has given
great stimulus to the business of Western stock-raising until
the point of overproduction has beeD reached and faoulous
profits have ceased to be realized. Of course the situation is
raide all the harder to bear because of the rapid decline from
fortunes quickly made to the plolding level of little more
than living protita. But both the first and the laat situation
are due mainly to the rapid increase in our railroad mileage.
During the la«t 15 years we have built more miles of railroad
than we did in the previous 45 years. Since 1874, we have
built over 85 000 miles of railroad, and much of these roads
has been run into new territory in anticipation of profits in
the future instead of realization in tbe present. All this has
aided in the work of covering and skimming additional terri-
tory and thereby increiaing production, especially in the line
of beef cattle. But the tima ie near at hand when all this
must cBase. The Western territories are being covered by
actusl settlers who with their needs will more and more
equalize demand with consumption, while the grasses in
many sections of the great grazing country are giving out
under the excessive demands made upon them. We may aa
well begin to look at the future and provide for changes
likelv to soon come.

Value of Oats in the Feeding Ration-

One of the benefits which may come from the great abun-
dance and low price of oats the present season is the proba-
bility of their more general use upon the farm. Some yet
hold to the old idea (much to their own loss) that this grain
was created for the special and sole use of horses. One hun-
dred pounds of oats contain about nine and oue-halt pounds
ofproteine, forty-four pounds of carbo-hydrate3, and four
pounds of fat. Compared with corn, oats are from 12 to 1*
per cent, richer in proteine. which is the food that builds up
the muscles; 30 per cent, poorer in carbohydrates, which
build up the fat of the body and are converted into energy,
and 20 per cent, lower in oil, which serves the same purpose
aa the carbo-hydrates. Having leas carbo-hydrates and oil
than corn, oata, with their larger amount of proteine, come
nearer being a balanced ration in themselves than does that
grain.

If we were to burn 100 lbs of oats and 100 1 bs . of corn there
would remain but one and one-half pounds of ash residue
from the corn, while the oa's would give twice aa much, or
three pounds. It is in proteine, which goes to build up the
muscular system, and ash, which forms such a large part of
the bone structure, that this grain stands out conspicnous
among those commonly grown on the farm. Many feeders
consider that the density with which the food material is
packed away in corn works against that grain in feeding, and
that great advantage may be derived by "diluting" the corn
so that it shall not pack in the stomach. They find ear corn
fed with the husks on, or corn ground with the cob, superior
to either shelled corn or corn-meal, not because of the value
of the husk or cob particularly, but because they extend or
lighten up the feed. The husk of oats, which certainly cau-
not be considered as having value, seems to play an impor-
tant part in feeding — much, perhaps, as the husk or cob does
with the corn. So valuable is the husk of the oat when sur-
rounding the grain that all attempts to introduce varieties
free from it hav* proved futile. The famous Bohemian oatB
are simply a hullless variety which has been grown for years
past here and there over the country. The novelty of having
an oat which had no husks, together with the immense
profits promised by sniooth-toogued ageuts, have caused
many farmers throughout the Northwest to invest heavily in
what proved but a scheme for catching gudgeona. The grain
with hulls appears preferable to that without for feeding pur
poBes.

It ia a German chemist, we believe, who claims to have
found a ni'rogenoos principle in oats similar to caffeine in
coffee and theine in lei, which, bee use tbe Latin word for
oat is "avena," he calls avenine. Caffeine and theine are
supposed to nourish the muscular system, preventing its
its waste and decay, and this investigator holds that aven-
ine Ins the same effect. Whether he is correct or not it is
certain there is something about the oat grain which distin-
guishes it from all others for feeding horses. Au observing
driver can often tell to the day when the feed of a horse has
been changed from other grain to oats by the action of the
animal. The old idea of the oats tickling the ribs of the
horse is significant, and expresses a general truth of much
importance in a homaly way. But we started out not to
speak of oats for horse feed, for their value is there under-
stood; it is for other animals on the farm that we enter our
plea at this time; coltB, cows, calves, and pigs will all respond
rapidly and profitably to the feeder's liberality with oats at
tbe present priceB. They need not be fed heavily, for as a
aeneral food, corn is caeaper, but as a small feed in connec-

with it, oats will lend increased value. Where hogs have at-
tained considerable size, and not too many oata are fed, it
will be found by proper feeding that there is no need' of
grinding them. Instead, the best rule is to try to feed them
whole, and only grind when tbe results from feeding un-
ground are not satisfactory; but in this, as in nearly all other
cases, an intelligent discretion on the part of the feeder will
do much toward compassing the best results. It has been
found by careful feeders that brood sows and stock hogs do
excellently well on whole oats if the oats are acattered thinly
over a clean feeding floor so that the animals can pick np
but a grain or two at a time, necessitating slow mastication.
Dairymen are ooming to place a higher value on oat*, and
this year they will be used extensively on many farms in
place of bran. For making solid, healthful flesh and strong
bone, and giving tc the animal great vi^or and quality, no
grain on our farms can equal the oat. — Breeder's Gazette.

Northern Cattle-

W. T. Cressler of Cedarville, informs a correspondent that
as near as he can ascertain 6,000 head of beef cattle, besides
a number of stock cattle, have been driven out of Surprise
and Warner valleys within the past six weeks. Of the beef
cattle, probably not more than 2,000 had been sold at prices
langingfrom §14 to S16. Several of the larger cattle own-
era, including Ayres & Poor, R. F. McConnaughby and G.
W. Mapes, have driven out large bands, but are hunting a
market, and will probably hold for better prices.

Notes.

W. Brazelton tells in Hoard's Dairyman how he kills the
horns on his calves. He says get a stick of caustic potash,
then when the calf is, say, ten days old, take it by both ears,
stand straddle of it, then let an assistant have a little water,
wet the place where the horn would come, then after wrap-
ping a rag aroond one end of the caustic, rnb the other end
on the horn spot. It bfling wet, will dissolve enough of the
caustic to cause a dry scab to form. If thoroughly rubbed
for say one minute, one operation is all-sufficient. Mr.
Brazelton's calves six months old thus treated have not a
sign of a horn.

Mr. W. M. Coward of Yolo County, purchased at the recent
Ashburner Eale in Sacramento, nine head of thoroughbred
cattle. The herd consists of one bull, 7 cows and one calf,
all registered. Two of the animals were weighed after the
sale. The bull tipped the beam at 2,200 pounds, and the
cow at 1,450 pounds.

Dr. G. M. Dixon, owner of the Argonaut Stock Farm, in
Yolo, reports that he is now cutting and successfully curing
the fifth and sixth crop of alfalfa hay on his farm, the first
crop being cut last April, and tbe total yield of a portion of
his meadow being nine tons per acre this season. It will
thus be seen that hay can be cut and cured in this valley
during eight months of the year.

"I feel highly gratified at the result of our experiments
with TexaB fever," says State Veterinarian Paquin, of Mis
souri, to a reporter. "You remember w-i Bent a bunch of
fourteen cattle to Texas some time ago; ten were inoculated
and four were not. Of those that were inoculated but one
has died, and my information is that one has died of some
other cause than that of the fever, while of the four that
were not treated, three are dead, and the fourth is sick unto
death. Our experiments at the Kansas City stock yards have
also proveu very satisfactory. I believe that we can now
save the cittle from this disease if we are allowed to take
hold of them in time."

London Live-Stock Journal: "Aberdeen-Angus breeders
scored a decided win in the ordinary fat cattle classes at tbe
Melbourne Show. Hitherto short-horn bullocks have had
things pretty well their own way, a pair of Herefords being
occasionally, but not often, sent for exhibition. This time
Mr. F. G. Docker sent a pair of ha'f-bred Polled Angus cat-
tle, and they beat a piir of fiDe roan short-horns sent by
Gibson Bros, of Top Creek. The winning pair were by a
stud Polled Aberdeen Angus bull from short-horn cows."

Australia had 96,563,373 sheep last year. It is 6afe to
predict 100,000 000 for this year. Nearly all the wool grown
has to be exported, as the woolen industry in Australia is
yet in its infancy. Great Britain is relied onto furnish their
woolen goods and take their surplus wool. This is an ex-
cellent thing for the British, for it is the country that manu-
factures that gets the bulk of tbe profit out of the wool. The
United States has room for and needs the wool of 100,000,-
000 sheep to supply her people with goods; and it is only
good business sense to do what she can to render herself in-
dependent of other nations in this particular. — Michigan
Farmer.

A curious industry in North Dakota, which will decrease
in time, is buffalo bone picking. The vast herds of buffalo
have been slaughtered and their skins sold, and now the pio-
neers make merchandise of the bones scattered over the prair'
ies. The bones are Bhipped to St. Louis or Chicago aud turn-
ed into glue or fertilizers. Kansa?, Colorado. Nebraska, and
even older states, have all been the scene of this strange con-
tribution to wealth and no one knows how many thousands
of carloads have thus been gleaned after the slaughter of the
American bison.

Four lots of lambs of ordinary grades were fed by Profes"
sor Roberts, the well-known scientist, to determine the cost
and ratio of increase, from different foods, not only of the
carcass, but of wool ako. From November to April — five
months — the lambs were given quite a variety. The four
lots contained three lambs each. One lot was fed on a car-
bonaceous diet, having all the whole corn aud timothy bay
they could eat. with half a ponnd of roots each, the esti-
mated co3t of the food being $2 70. Another lot was given
food of a nitrogenous character, consisting of 233 pounds
bran. 106 pounds cotton seed meal, 313 pounds cluver, and
160 pounds roots, the coat being $4 66. The other lots were
fed on mixed nitrogenous foods, for comparison with the first
two lots. A remarkable result waa thct the lambs fed on
nitrogenous food drank much more water than the others,
nearly four times aa much. While the cost of the carbona-
ceous food was $3 70, less than that of the food of the other
lot (S4 66). the gain from the carbonaceous food in the five
m-jntbs was 4S-70 pounds, the gain from the nitrogenous
foods 71.31 pounds, the cost of tbe gain from the c^r
ous food S7 59; and the cost of the ga?n from the i
food $6 02 The increase in wool was also in f
nitrogenous food; the first lot shearing 4.25 poun<:
second 7.31 pounds, or an increase of 72 per cen;
of the nitrogenous foods.

San Francisco, Saturday, Nov. 30, 1889.

Off for Los Angeles.

The barometer is acting in a very strange and unac-
countable manner. So much so that the horses in train-
ing at Napa track have been removed to Palo Alto with
the intention of sending them for records over the .Bay
District track when the running horse meeting is over.
Mr. Rose has had au interview with Hickokand Marvin,
and the impression is prevalent at present that the des-
tined record breakers will be sent to Los Angeles at an
early day to try and beat the time marks that at present
exist. Sunol is now in apple-pie order, while Palo Alto
and Stamboul aie net far behind her. Only a little more
work is requisite and then the eyes of the trotttDg horBe
world would be on California.

Mr. Bonner Purchases Ansel.

Mr. Bonner has for a long time been an ardent advo-
cate of the thoroughbred blood in trotters, and has never
minced matters when talking on the subject to reporters.
Every reader of turf journals in the United States
knows the gentleman's feelings, and they also know that
he has been one of the most outspoken when engaged on
the breeding point that is Senator Stanford's pet idea.
His visit to this coast was ostensibly to have a look at
his late purchase, the trotting queen Sunol, but he has
gone farther and Bhown his belief in the Stanford theory
by buying the magnificent stallion Ansel. Ansel is
bred on the lines that Mr. Bonner believes in. He has
the strong Abdullah strain on top and glorious old Bos-
Jon is close up on the lower side. "With the well bred
mures that aro ut the breeding farm at Turrytown Mr.
Bonner should be able to show to the world in a very
few years whether the thoroughbred cross close up is a
success or not. Ansel will be sent to New York shortly
and Culifornians will await with some anxiety tin
solution of the problem that is now worrying all breed-
ers of trotting horses in the United States. Mr. Bonner
haB also examined Sunol and doclures himself more than
satisfied with his new purchase. The 'great threo-year-
old was sent a fast quarter by Mr. Marvin to Bhow her
speed, and the time made was 31$ seconds, a 2:0fi gait
From what Sunol has already done every horseman in
California knows perfectly well that she cin come very
near — if not quite — to touching the record of Maud S
and 2:083 is in danger of being lowered if the weather
will only stay clear. Mr. Bonner has secured a priceless
jewel in Sunol, and every one is pleased to hear that he
will let Marvin handle the filly for another twelve
months.

How to Breed the Fastest Trotters-

The great speed shown by Sunol at the Bay District Track
and the 2:12 of Axtell made at Terra Haute has caused every
prominent writer on horse matters to dip in on the breeding
question, as the phenomenal three-year-olds are bred on dia-
metrically opposed blood lines. The believers in the thor-
oughbred theory are jubilant when they write of Sunol, and
the supporters of the strong trotting lines throw back in the
faces of their opponents the case of Axtell as an example of
what the reoognized Registered blood will do. Free Lance,
an able writer for the Kurai World, has the following, auent
the breeding question:

The phenomenal speed shown by the three-year-olds,
Sunol 2:10A, and Axtell 2:12. will set the breeders of trotting
horses wild with hope and expectation, that some that they
are breeding may develop speed nearly as great. Such a per.
foimer makes a breeder a wealthy man. Axtell brought
$105,000, and Robert Bonner paid a still higher price to Sen-
ator Stanford for the faster Sunol, he saying she sold for a
higher price than any other horse ever brought.

Axtell, however, if he lives, is much the best bargain, for
he will bring back to his owners in stallion service fees in the
course of two or three years, all the money paid for him. It
is said that forty mares are already engaged to him at §1,000
each for next season. Sunol can bring back no returns of
this character, though, if put to breeding, her get would
command the highest prices-. What speed ought to be ob-
tained by coupling these two remarkable trotters! A lesson
of incalculable value might be taught to breeders, by uniting
this king and queen of the three-year-olds.

I have been hoping that Mr. Bonner might put Maud S to
breeding. She would doubtless niuke a great broodmare. It
is possible that Mr. Bonner, seeing that the time of Maud S
was in danger of being beaten by Sunol, and still desiring to
be the owner of the fastedt trotter in the world, concluded it
was high time to take her in, and he may now put Maud S to
the duties of maternity. It is very likely next season Sunol
may be prepared to beat the time of Maud S., but whether
she can do it in other hands than those of Marvin is some-
what problematical. Marvin's great success with her shows
he understands the filly and she understands Margin, and
there is the best of feeling existing between the two, as there
always should be between horse and trainer.

But the great question in the discussion of which every
breeder is interested, is how to develop this wonderful speed
at so early an age. I have seea Axtell, and he seems to be a
fully matured horse, and the cuts indicate that Sunol is like-
wise fully matured. How few breeders, however, have their
three-year-olds fully matured? There is generally muoh
lacking in their make-up. They have not had the feed and
care and judicious exercise and training that have developed
bone and muscle and form and speed, to make them fullv
matured, and at their almost best estate at this early age.
They have had too little or too much of some or all of these
things. It is not all in blood. Thousands of foals have been
as well bred as these two, and worth just the right bind of
care and training. Some of them might have been as fast.
Of course there is such a thing as individuality in brutes as
well as men. A great difference will be seen in children from
the same parents, some taking high rank as orators, poets,
statesmen, warriors, while others, starting under the same
circumstances, will never be known out of the immediate
neighborhood in whioh they were born. But these differences
arise more from mental traits than physical. They achieve
success by the efforts of the mind rather than the body.
"Who shall "say that the differences in horses may not be
caused by the differences in mental traits, by a difference in
temperaments, by a higher mental organization iu the one
than the other? No two horses by the same parents are just
alike, any more than two children by the same parents. The
conditions at the time of conception are different— both par-
ents may be in a perfect state of health at the time, or one
may be in that condition and the other not, or both may not
be, and these varying conditions will cause great difference in
the progeny. No breeder can expect to obtain the highest
success unless he Btudies the priooiples of breeding, and fol-
lows those that Lave beeu demonstrated to be wise. By acci-
dent, probably, more than by preparation, the sire and dam
of Axtell and Sunol and all of the great trotters and getters of
trotters were in the pink of health and vigor at the time of
conception. The trotting proclivities of the one or other or
both were active, and hence predominating at the time and
the impress was left upon the progeny. How important to
the breeder to have his sires and dams in the best physical
condition during the breeding season-not weak and poor,
not still overburdened with fat, which is almost as bud, bul
muscular, healthy, vigorous, in which conditiou they are
ready to be coupled with the very highest hopes of vigorous
speedy progeny.

And 1 have for many years believed that when the very
highest attuinmunts in the breeding line are seoured, the
dam, while curving her youug, will be judiciously driven on
the road and track, and given short brushes uf speed with
other horse** to excite her own courage, to inspire her with a
desire to win on the trot, and whatever tffeots her in this
way, will have ita influence on the progeny whioh Bhe car-
ries. I have seen the effects of hunting pointer and setter
bitches, while carryiug their young, on quail and grouse, and
have never had any trouble in breaking pups that have been
so carried, they seeming to know, the first time they enter
the field, just what is wanted of them. They have been
trained in their mother's wouib, and I have not the slighest
doubt if mares ourrying their young and kept in7 proper con-

dition are occasionally given contests of speed at the trot-
ting gait that their young will take to trotting more naturally
and will go faster than if no such exercise had ever been giv.
en to their dams.

2:11 and 2:13.

There are hut few persons who are aware that 2:11 and
2:13 was made on a half-mile track in California many years
ago, long before the phenomenal records of the present day
were even dreamt of. The half-mile track was a very popu-
lar place, and the populace of San Fraccisco in the early sev-
enties were always willing to turn out in goodly numbers to
see a speed contest. There had been a race one day in
which two of the entries were Eugene Casserly and Susie
Bill, the former owned bv W. Woodward and the mare was
the property of Captain White, a well-known road driver, and
one who, by the way, was no novice as far as track work was
concerned. In the evenirjg a few choice spirits met at Crit-
tenden's Stable and the race of the day was talked over. The
rain was falling in torrents and the company remaioed until
a late hour. During the evening "Old Bill" Woodward
came in and joined in the conversation, and he and Captain
White locked horns as to which had the fastest horse. The
result of the argument was that Mr, Woodward left a certifi-
cate of deposit with Criitenden for $2,500 and Btated that
White could cover any part of the amount before twelve
o'clock that night, and that the hordes could start next day,
rain or shine, and that no restriction should be placed on the
gait. White acquiesed as to the rules, and started out to
raise money enough to cover the check. It was now so late
that White could only get $1 225, and a f=w minutes before
midnight that snm Wds placed in the stakeholder's hands.
The next day a large number of spectators assembled at the
grounds, but from the rain the track was in a terrible condi-
tion. The horses were hitched to the sulkies, and after a
short delay the word was given and away went the pair, both
gallopiog at the height of speed. It did look somewhat pecu-
liar to see the well-known trotting horses imitating the exam-
ple of the runners, but they were getting along at a rapid
gait, and exactly one minute was recorded when Susie
reached the half-mile pole. Here Casserley showed sigDS of
weakening, but gamely kept up the pace. At the three-
quarters Susie was several lengths ahead and she was
never headed, winning handily in 2:11. the fastest mile up to
that time that had ever been done in harness in California
and which has only been bfat once, by Sunol, 2:10*.

When the usual time between heats had expired the horses
were brought out for the second attempt and but little time
was taken for scoring, as they came up well together the sec-
ond time of tryine. Caaserley showed the effects of the ex-
cessive work performed in the first heat, and Susie looked
none too fresh; however, both went off together as though
life and death depended on the result. At the half Casserley
was three lengths behind, but striving with his utmost to
overtake the mare. She was too fast in her gallopiog pro-
pensities for the stallioD, and ultimately won the second heat
and race in 2:13. There was considerable rejoicing in the
White faction as they had now considerable money, and a
corresponding depression among the followers of Mr. Wood-
ward. This occurred eighteen ye.u-s ago, but there are still
a few of the old timers who remember the celebrated go-as-
you-please race.

The Dwyers Head the List.

The Dwyers had a greater number of horses in training
than any of their competitors, bnd had the two year olds
equalled expectations their winnings would have been over
$200,000; but the youngsteis with one or two exceptions are
deplorable failures so far and the bulk of the money was
earned by the three year olds and older division of the stable.
The great three jear old Longstreet heads the list with $38,-
S60 to his credit, a most creditable showing for a colt that
has been beaten oftener by a head in close finishes than any
other horse on the turf this year.

Woodard's February Sale.

Lexington, Ky., Nov. 23rd, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The lime for entries to
cIobo to the great Breeders' Combination Sale is drawing
near and the books are rapidly filling. It is a little prema-
ture to ennmerate the varioua consignments and consignors
already entered, but snfBceit to say that some of the choicest
pedigreed animals on the continent are already received, and
every popular sire will be represented in this aggregation of
royal breeding, speed and style.

The sale held under my auspices last February was un-
doubtedly the most successful ever carried on in this coun-
try. It was at this sale that Bell Boy brought $51,000,
which was at that time the highest price ever paid for a trot-
ting hosse in America, and to-day stands as the greatest
amount at whioh a horse was ever sold under the hammer.

The result of that sale in full: 520 head aggregated $313,-
875. Average of standard-bred animals, $], 010. 40; general
average, $603 60, which is a remarkable showing considering
the fact thut a majority of the animals were non-standard
and business horses. If you contemplate selling at this sale
write for blanks and send on your entries at once.

The Funny Business at Boston.

After the oroakers and all others bave had their say in re-
gard to the stallion race, won by Nelson on his merits, I
wish to state why I drove the race; also to ask a few perti-
nent questions. Until one hour before the race was to be
called, I expected Budd Doble to drive Nelson. The night
before the race, I received a dispatch from him saying he
did not think he would be able to go to Boston and drive
the race. I wired him to come without fail, but received no
reply, I rested perfectly easy. At 12 o'clock Joe Hooker
carried me to Boston to my hotel, the Qaincy. There I
found a letter from Mr. Doble from Philadelphia, Peno., say-
ing that on account of a special race then pending, that no
other party could arrange, he would be unable to go to Bos-
ton, and that he had no doubt bat Nelson would win the
race. I then went to the track with Mr. Hooker, and, think-
ing I would get John Splau to drive him, I asked Mr. Balch
to send him to me if he saw him. I saw him and asked him
to drive for me. He told me he was engaged. After the
race he told me Mr. Doble hired him to "walk the earth"
that afternoon before I saw him. (They had learned that
Doble was in Philadelphia.) Mr. Splan told several reliable
parties that he was paid $500, not to drive Nelson that day,
or "walk the earth," as they called it.

I drove the race because I was forced to. I think all will
agree with me that, taking the day, the track and the weather
we had to work in that the three heats he trotted were bet-
ter than any race he has trotted this year. His three heats
could have been trotted from one to two and a half seconds
faster than they were, as he jogged the first *wo heats from
the head of the stretch, and the last heat to the distance. All
who saw him in both races noted the difference in the way he
scored with me from his movements at Hartford.

Now, as to the race and itB merits; if this was a fixed race,
as some intimate, why did Doble hire John Splan and then
put $2,000 on Alcryon against Nelson. If he had sold the
race, as my enemies asBert, why did he not play a sure thing?
Some may say this statement is not true.

Now for proof.

The check given to the pool box for the balance that Doble
had not hedged out was $1560. or thereabouts. This check,
for some reason, was not paid, and Alcryon was attached and
held until said check was paid or arranged for.

These are facts that are straight. As to an official investi-
gation we are ready, as we think it would be for our benefit;
and while at this the board could consider several other mat-
ters that should nave been looked after before. Hoping this
article contains nothing you will be unwilling to give Bpace to
in your columns. — C. H. Nelson in the Globe.

Advice to Breeders.

It is an undisputed fact that oar Golden State leads all the
Union lor breeding the trotting and running horse to its
highest culture in breeding and performance; conld there not
be a greater number raised? There is no doubt but that the
success of our stars will induce a great many Eastern breed-
ers to come to our valleys and rolling hills to establish more
breeding farms that will add farther fame to onr soil and
climate. Still there are hundreds of the small breeders that
are as fond of a level-headed fast roadster and desirous of
improving their stock, and yet their life time is spent and
nothing in that line accomplished. The reason is because
they are not acquainted with the system of breeding, for the
very reason that they are not posted on the horse of to-day.
If every owner of stock horse should do his share of genuine
horse talk to his patrons, show them the benefit derived from
reading such papers as the Breeder and Sportman, Chicago
Horseman, etc, that will gradually open their eyes and create
a topic of conversation with his neighbor that will be finan-
cially benefioial both to them and the owner of stock borBe,
and finally add greater fame to California as the producer of
tine stuck, good individuals in the raspective breedn, and
noted for the absence of the sen't. Let us rind some way to
get rid of this half breed stock produced from common dung
hill stallions and mares, and fill their place with something
that will prove profitable to the breeder.

There are in all. communities a majority of unworthy stal-
lion owners that travel the country wide, breeding mares for
as little as a night's lodging for himself and horse. Farmers
are induced to breed by misrepresentation and undue praise,
and fictitious pedigrees, etc. The result is always a disap-
pointment to these breeders, and instead of an attractive
youngBter and a desirable horse at maturity, the produce is
fit for nothing more than a China peddler'B horse. What re-
turns do such breeders realize for service fee, UBe of mare,
and at least three years pasture and the breaking of colts?
From $30 to $60 if any one makes an estimate of costs to
plaoe such stock in the market the result will show a balance
in favor of loss and the more of such stock they raise the
worse off they are.

It is the general cry of such would be stock raisers that they
cm not afford to breed to high priced stallions, and they are
not able to own a good stallion themselves, etc., but they
would do better to breed their best mare to some good horse
and leave the rest i i le than to loose time and money in rais-
ing dunghills. The price realized from one good colt will pay
thrice the trouble and outlay of inferior ones.

To accomplish the banishment of so many dung-hill stal-
lions is within the power of the horse associations and owners
of imported Shires, ClydeBdales, Cleveland Bays and last but
not the least the high bred trotters and thoroughbreds; but
a co-operation is eaaenial and without that we will always
point out to a few successful breeders and wonder at their
luck(?). I may be the subject of criticism by the majority
of readers, but it is my earnest belief that by having all the
lovers of horse Qesh put their energy and co-operation to-
gether laws can be framed and made to pass in our wise leg-
islature to enforce the license on atock horses and fnruisn
them only to worthy individuals possessed of the required
points, breeding, etc., to admit them to the circle of some
fixed standard of excellence as may be accepted in the com-
mittees of the respective breeds of horses. Such horses as are
not desirable should be huuted out from their dens and made
geldings none too soon. The result is evident: Certificates
identifying those showing the blood lines and acceptance of
tbe horse by the authorities would immediately convince the
farmers of the merits of the stallion. This plan of selecting
stallions tor service is followed in European countries and a
heavy fine is the penalty to any one soliciting patronage with-
out license. In some parte, sach as France and Italy, the
government famishes the stallions and none others are used.
The happy result would require only three or four years,
when a marked difference in the stock would be seen through-
out the country. In short, I will conclude by apologizing to
the reader for the time given to this erjbjeot and acknowl-
edge that it is Bimply an inspiration brought forth by the
love of our country and the horse, and any further agitation
by more learned correspondents on this subject will be stud-
ied by at least one reader of this paper with a final view of
establishing a universal system of breeding man's best friend. .

THE_GOT,

Violation of the Game Law.

Notwithstanding the existence for many years in this State
of laws for the protection of game and fish, there is still man-
ifest the disposition on the part of hooters and fishers to dis-
regard and wantonly violate the law, and in this the banters
are aided and abetted !by dealers in skins and peltries in the
interior and even in this city. Two or three cases of the
kind have recently been brought to public attention throogh
the vigilance of the local officers. It appears that there is a
disinclination on the part of trial jurors to retorn verdicts,
as they are sworn to do, in accordance with the law and the
evidence. They seem to set up, in private judgment, in de-
fiance ot the law, their own peooliar ideas in the matter, and
either return verlicts palpably in opposition to the law or
disagree, so that the offenders are discharged from custody.
Every case of the kind is not only a culpable failure of jus-
tice, but also an enoouragemeut to offenders equivalent to a
warrant to pay no heed to the law, and to continue in its vio-
lation. Under the operation of this iDtolerable disregard of
oaths tnd duty by jurors, the law becomes of little account,
and instead of game being protected, the more valuable spe-
oies are ruthlessly slaughtered by skin hrmterB and nnsoru-
lous butchers of game. The inevitable consequences must
follow-the total destruction of choice game, so that in com-
paratively few years California will be as devoid of prized
Bpecies as are the deserts. This will be the case with elk and
deer particularly. Already the elk, which were frequently
found in wild and mountainous regions have almost disap-
peared. Hunted and slaughtered for their skins and horns
by the reckless and rnthless who adopted that means of live-
lihood, the elk is now rarely seen in California, and similar
practice of slaughter has thinned their number in Oregon and
Washington, to the north. Unless better protection shall be
provided, elk will be exterminated upon this coast.

As to deer, the matter is equally or more aggravating and
criminal. Against the small aggregate of venison bronght
into market every year, the large numher of skinB sent to the
tanneries and found in the possession of similarly culpable
dealers, justifies the conclusion that for every deer killed in
the open season for food uses, in the close season ten are
slaughtered for their skins only. Does and fawns— even the
tender spotted fawns— are apparently as wantonly slaughtered
as the bncks. For this the buyers of such skinB, of skins in
the close season, especially, are in some sense as responsible
as the slayerB. Unless the skin hunters find a market for
these skins, they will cease the wanton slaughter. Powder
and lead oost money, even though the time spent in the hunt
js accounted as of no consequence. It is for lawless gain
they slaughter indiscriminately. If they were arrested and
subjected to exemplary penalty, such as the law provides,
and were thus made to feel that the punishment fitted the of.
fence— and it is a vicious crime — they would abstain from the
violation.

No person of adult years who has reBided in the State for
one year or longer, should be allowed immunity for his culpa-
bility on the ground of ignorarjce of the law. This form of
the "Baby act'' is not allowed in other offences, in the State
courts or in cases of infraction of local ordinances and police
regulations. The seizures, forfeiture and confiscation of im-
mature flesh or diseased meat, fish or fowl, unfit for food, is
enforced promptly and without farther process. The officer
is empowered to act as complainant jadge and jury in every
case. Some Bimilar and adequate process ought to be en-
forced in the administration of the law for the protection of
game. Every adult dweller of the State iB supposed to know
the law and should be held Bmenable for its wanton viola-
tion.

In extreme oases only, such as the absolute need of food,
should the transgression be condoned. In caseB wherein
purchasers are involved — as tanDers and dealers — no excuse
should be entertained; certainly not the flimsy and false
plea of ignorance of the law of the land .It is too often the plea
of mild perjuiy to escape the just penalty. Neither onghtcourta
ti entertain it nor juries to allow it in the honeBt performance
of their sworn duty. The idea is preposterous that an intel-
ligent citizen of long residence in the State, who has occu-
pied responsible and important offioial positions in the com-
munity, or that any who have for years been engaged in deal-
ing in hideB and peltries, or aB a tanner, is bo ignorant of
the law, or so little versed in his trade and calling us not to
be able to distinguish between hides and skine, aB to whether
they are bucks or does or fawos, particularly when they are
offered for Hale in the close season. Ab it is remarked above,
these are the most culpable offenders against the law inas-
much as they enconrage and support the wanton slaughter at
which the game law is so clearly directed. It is their duty,
and it Hhoald be tbeir rule of action to make known to the
proper authorities the offenders who oome to them to dispose
of their evidences of lawless slaughter in order that these
ahould be duly dealt with according to the law. A few in-
stances of exemplary and fitting penalty would caution repe-
tition or continuance of the offence.

A reformation to assure the conviction and the imposition
of dne penalties upon offenders of the game law, to overcome
»*nd provent the culpable action of jnrors sworn to render jost
verdicts, but who give encouragement to offenders by non-
observance of their Baored oath, and either acquit or connive
ut the acquittal by banging the jury, ooold be wrought by
citizens who feel interested in the maintenance of the law.

It is a reformation which ought to enlist the services of
every, supporter and advocate of the law for the protection of

game. It simply requires fair vigilance in all cases of mfrac-
tion-to give personal attention to the manner of prosecution
and to the composition of the jury, to the end that the jurors
shall be of good character and of just mind, determined to
faithfully abide by their oath, without regard to the standing
in community of the offender, and without fear or favor to
render their verdict agreeably to the evidence and the law.
Every member of the several associations and clubs for the
observance of the game law, should be a ready volunteer in
this effort at reformation-in better protection of game from

ruthless slaughter.

A Protest from Napa.

Editor Breeder and SPoRTSNAN:-The decision of Jus-
tice Thompson in the case of the Tanning Company, charged
with the possession of the skins of deer unlawfully killed,
will be regarded by the parties who engage in shootiDg this
fine game in the close season, does and fawns as well as
bucks, as warrant for them to go on with the lawless killing.
The effect of it will be as a license to kill in the face of the
law aud to hold the offending possession harmless. The law
is as clear as any in the statute book as to making the pos-
session of unlawful game an offense. But in spite of this it
appears that judges and juries bold it to be not an offense.
It is now the case in Napa, and in a similar case in Sacra-
mento last week the jury failed to convict, although the proof
waa direct and Btrong. . .

Many of us hereabout are eager now, in consequence of
these miscarriages of jos'iee, to learn how a similar esse
will be decided in your courts.

The plea of the offender is ignorance of the law. Ihis ab-
surd nlea from a prominent citizen who has been engaged
for thirty years in the dealing and handling of hides and
skins, and who is recognized as a shrewd and careful buyer,
seems Btrange to us up here. But if any of us should go to
San Francisco BDd transgress your city ordinances, in doing
that which is allowed in Napa, and is not against any ordi-
nance, the likelihood is that the plea of ignorance would no-
avail in the case before yoor Police Court. The game law is
a statute of the State, and has been in force many years, too
long to admit offenders to the plea of ignorance.

I call to mind cases of violation of the game law that were
tried in San Franciseo, in which the offenders were neither
prominent nor rich, and as my memory serves me in these
cases the defendants were subjected to the penalties provid-
ed. Equal and impartial justica should be meted out to all
alike— the intelligent and the ignorant, the wise as well as
the unwise. Judge Thompson has put the beam in our eye,
but we don't want to disoover the mote in yours at the Bay.

A Protester.

Napa, Nov. 16th, 18S9.

Bird-Cramps.

The beat shooting yam of the season is one that reaches ns
from Mr. Ad. Pearson of National City, near the Lower Cali-
fornia line.

Mr. Pearson is an enthusiastic sportsman and owns some
fine hunting dogs, among others there being a thoroughbred
pointer pup which promises great things in the future, and
it is of this pup the Btory is written. The constable relates

the tale in his own 6tyle." Says he: "You know Mr. ;

well he came to me the other day saying: 'Pearson, I want
to go hunting one of these dayB and I wish you would loan
me one of your dogs.' Now I didn't want to do anything
of the kind, but I couldn't very well refuse him, as I had
heard him speak of his hun'ing a great deal and hated to
disoblige him, so I said: 'All right sir; you can have the
pointer,' and next nay he came aTound rigged out in hunting
boots, leggins, hunting coat and hat, and carrying a fine
hammerleBS gun {borrowed plumes as I afterward found out)
and I gave him the pointer and Baw no more of him nntil
about dark of that day, when he walked into my office and
said: 'Say, what in thunder did yon want to send me out
shooting with a sick dog for?' Visions of a dead pointer shot
across my brain and I said: 'What do you mean rain?
Have yon lost the dog?' 'No; but the ouBsed dog is no good.'
'What's the matter with him?' I asked. 'Well the dog has
got St. Vitus' dance or something worse You had better
have him looked after UDless you want to lose him.' 1 knew
the dog was in splendid health when he left home end I was
considerably puzzlod to know what had happened to him so
I demanded an explanation, and he said: 'Well I drove out
about five miles, where [I thonght likely I could find some
quail, and hitched the horse, loaded myself down with shellB
and started out with the dog.

I had traveled maybe a half a mile when looking around I
missed the pointer, and finally saw him off about a hundred
yards. The dog looked bo strange that I immediately knew
something was the matter with him, and I ran over to where
be was. The dog looked like he had a terrible cramp in one
of his hind legs, aud he just stood there quivering all over,
one hind leg stuck straight out behind, and his eyes seemed
ready to start from his head. He looked in so much paio
that I laid down my gun, went up to bim and commenced to
rub bis leg, thinking maybe it would relieve him. While I
was working with bim a quail flew out of a bush near bim,
and as I was bDBy with him, I, of course, lost a shot, but the
dog seemed to get better, and as he could move his leg all
right I let him ruu. Well, sir, it wasn't a minute before that
cassed dog got another cramp, only this time it was io one of
his fore legs, and it was so severe that it twisted him clear
around, so that his nose and tail nearly touohed each other.
I went np to him again, and was repeating my rubbiDg. when
about a dozen birds jumped up all aronnd us. As my gnn
was laying on the ground, I lost another shot, and when I
looked again at the dog I am blamed if he waen't all right
again, and as lively as ever.

Well sir, I will bet you that that infernal dog was taken
with at least forty cramps that afternoon and every time he
had a oramp and I attempted to dootor him, a bird would get
np somewhere close by and between watching the dog and
the noise of the bird I missed my shot. I tell yon Pearson. I
wouldn't be troubled with a dog'like that out hunting for fifty
rollarsaday. He spoiled a whole afternoon's sport for me.
I don't see what yon want of a dog that can't hunt half an
honr withoot getting sick. He don't have exercise enough.'
"It is needless to say." continued Pearson "that I was im-
mensely relieved in my mind and I assured Mr. that

the dog was alright, only those crumps he spoke of was a
kind of a habit he'bad while hunting' but I had got so used
to them that a paid very little attention to them, but he as-
sured me he never wanted to take my dog out huntihg
again."

Sawyer Tannery Case.

A decision in the matter of The People vs. Sawyer Tannery
Company of Napa, for havingin possession skins of deer from
which evidence of sex had been removed, was rendered by
JoBhce Thompson, of Napa, on Saturday last. The prosecu-
tion was ably conducted by Mr. Henry Hogan, and the Tan-
nery Company also had the best available counsel. The de-
cision is given in full.

People of the Stele of California vs. The Sawyer Tannery
Co a corpoiatiou— Defendants are oharged with having in
their possession a "bundle" of deer skins, from which evi-
deoce of sex had been removed. It is the privilege of this
Court to examine into the facts so far as they relate to said
bundle of skins— the Court being bound by the allegations of
the omplaint to which the evidence must conform. Mr.
Callnndan testified in substance, as follows: First saw the
hides on a lumber wagon about sixteen miles outside of
Ukiah; next saw them in the office of Wells, Fargo & Co.,
Ukinh; next in the office of said company in San Francisco;
from thence I followed them to the Sawyer Tanning Co. I
called at the office of said company, met Mr. Norton, the
secretary, and Mr. Holden, and informed tbem of my busi-
ness. Tbey admitted the receipts of the hides, but said they
had not examined them. They willingly took me to the hide
room, where I found the bundle referred to, and they had
not been opened. Mr. Holden cut the ropes that bound the
hides. I found some mutilatel skins, Bpotted fawn and doe
skins, and some from which, in my opinion, the evidence of
sex had been removed. Have not much experience in ex-
amining deer skins. I am satisfied the evidence of sex had
been removed from some. Mr. Tunstead is the expert for
the Commissioners; he examined them.

The expert testimony of Mr. Tunstead shows that his ex-
amination of the skins was made principally with a view of
determining the sex of the skins, and the one hide he saw.
from which evidence of sex bad been removed, was not in,
but by the side of the bnndle.and he could not testfy on cross-
examination that it had ever been in the bundU in question,
and all the information received by him concerning the hides
wa;from a person who was not shown to be an officer, nor bo
much as a stockholder of said corporation, therefore could
not bind the corporation by any act or declaration of his.
Consequently that portion of the expert testimony is subject
to the rule of hearsay evidence and was strioken out. This
and an unoompromising letter written by Mr. Holden to the
Commissioners, is what the prosecution rely on for a con-
viction. Mr. Holden for the defence testified that in his opinion
there were no hides in sard bundle from which evidence of
sex had been removed.

Mr. Manasse testified that he had handled a million or
more deer skins, that if there were skins in said bnndle from
which evidence of sex .had been removed, he conldnot detect
them.

While the Conit has au undisputed right to consider the
interest of parties giving evidence, I do not think in this
case defendants would knowingly falsify the facie, and as Mr.
Callundan stated, "bis knowledge of deer skins was not very
extensive," I am bound to give defendants the benefit of the
doubt. Admitting that said bundle did contain the alleged
unlawful skins. th*-n comes the qnes'ion of po9Bession, to the
extent that defendants would be liable. The law reads:
"Any person in wboee possession deer skins are found, from
which evidence of sex has been removed, is guilty of a mis-
demeanor." It appears from the evidence that the skins in
question were consigned to defendants by one Muir of Men-
docino County; that they were put ioto defendant's chemical
wagon by the employees of Wells, Fargo & Co. at Napa; that
the driver of said wagon, who was an employee of defend-
aots, dumped the skins at the storehouse without giving no-
tice of the fact. From thence they were removed to the
truok or Bca'es, where they were fouod the next day by Mr.
Callundan, unopened, nor had they been seen, examined or
paid for by defendants. The testimony also shows that they
had not been consigned to tbem by an agent acting for de-
fendants and that they had not ordered them.

Notwithstanding, if the unlawful hides had been found in
possession of defendant's, as the law reads, they would be
guilty of misdemeanor, unless this Court is permitted to ac-
cept the construction of a similar statute by the learned jud-
ges of the English Court of Criminal Appeals, as follows:
"The prisoner was indicted under the statute pnuishing the
having in possession naval stores mBrked with the broad ar-
row." Two casks were traced by the police to the ware-
house of the defendant, and a few minutes after the delivery
the police officers entered aud found the ca*ks in the paBSage
unopened. On being opened by the officers, they were
found to contain a quantity of naval stores marked with the
broad arrow. It was held that to convict the defendant, if
was necessary to show that he knew the articles were marked
with the broad arrow. In referring to the statute the learned
Judge said "the statute is no doubt couohed in very general
terms: it does not state in so many words that be must
have them in his possession knowingly, but that must be
the true meaning of the Btatnte. Tbe word possession imports
knowledge of that which is possessed."

This view appears to me to be one of sound sense, and in
my opinion gives the only reasonable interpretation to a
Btatnte identical with our own, so far as relates to possession.
"It is universal doctrine that to constitute what the law
deems a crime there must concur both tin evil act and an evil
intent.''

As a casual remark, not Decessary to or forming a part of
the judgment, I desire to Btate that there is a qnestion in my
mind aB to whether defendants are liable as a Corporation,
"but as such a body is invisible, intangible, and exists only
in contemplation of the law, it is the natural persons in and
by whom it lives, moves and operates that the law generally
holds responsible for its offenses against the publio (felonies
or misdemeanors), should be prosecuted sb individuals, either
as principals or accessories, and under our statutes au acces-
sory stands io the same light as a principal." I find the fol-
lowing in Desty's American Criminal Law, Sec. 14:

"Corporations are liable for a breach of duty itnpOBed by
law, but not for felonies or public wrongs." They are liable
for misfeasance aB well as non-feasance. Though not liable
for battery they are indictable for libel aud for nuisances. As
for refusing to remove a slaughter-house injurious to public
health or obstructing a publio highway. So the directors of
a gas company are responsible for the acts of their supervisors
and engineers for conveying refuse gas into great publio
rivers. Towns and parishes, railroad companies and turn-
pike oompanies, are indictable for neglect to repair highways
and bridges, which it is their duty to repair.

A misdemeanor is punishable by imprisonment in a county
jail not exceeding six months, or by a fine not exceeding five
hundred dollars, or by both . A Corporation cannot be im-
prisoned.

It appearing to me that there is not sufficient cause to
believe the defendants guilty of the offenBe oharged, I order
them to be disobarged. Wm. Thompson,

JuBtice of the Peaoe.

Jurors Open to Conviction-

Id the case of a firm in Sacramento charged with haviDg in
possession deer skins from which the evidence of sex had
been removed — they were the skiDs of does killed in violation
of the law — a member of the firm deposed that they handled
7,000 deer skins a year, bnt that they did not know that it
was against the law to trade in the skins of doeB until the
case of the Sawyer TanDing Company of Napa, came up a
few days agn. The testimony against the firm was conclusive,
and Jastice Devine charged the jury that if the alleged facta
were proven, it was sufficient to warrant a conviction. A
majority of the jury, nevertheless, stood out for an acquittal
on the flimsy ground that no criminal intent had been
proven, and the jury was discharged. The District Attor-
ney intends to press the case to a definite conclusion. Mean-
time he will secore the evidence of an expert to disprove the
testimony of the defense. The jurors who declined to con-
vict and in doing so disregarded the clear lelter of the law
and the instruction of the Court, may be considered as open
to conviction themselves; but there is no law, except that of
public opinion, tn convict them. It is an old saying that
possession is nine points of the law. As it appears, the de-
clining jarors gave the tenth point to the defendants and
wanted them to go clear. The thing now left for the jurors
to do is to find a way to their own acquittal before the high
court of public opinion. With jurors of their kind the game
law is of no more consequence than a crooked juror's oath,
and for game there will be no protection beyond the tough
consciences of the lawless anil wanton slaughterers.

To the Top of Mt- Whitney.

[By 0. E. Sherman.]

xin.

Every one obeys the ''Bobby" when he says "move on,"
bnt there are thiDgs just as forceful a<* policemen. When
the light is turned down almost low enough for two, the old
gentleman's heavy tread, or— worse yet — bis extraordinary
interest in the time of night, parts Borneo and Juliet without
a wherefore. When the Sprinter headed a following of cattle
he waited not bnt went. After three restfal, wonderful days
— days where away from the rest of the world friends become
closer and closer comrades, finally kuitting together with
baud? firmer than steel, Time— which so relentlessly eats up
pleasant hours— gave the signal; so taking a 9 a. m. start, on
August 9th, the Pilgrims let go of Gamp Grant, resolved to
worship Pleasure at every altar offered by the opportunities
of promised places yet to come.

BeachiDg Bamshaw Meadows only half way on the pur-
posed journey of the day, abundant feed and fishing tempted
the Pilgrims', and there they rested, making Camp Plenty, at
an altitude of 9,550 feet. Aside from a few broken tempers,
none of the machinery of the band had thns far Buffered in-
jury, but here, the one thermometer possessed by the party,
became irredeemably smashed. So that henceforth on this
trip the Pilgrims had to glow or shiver without scientific
basis, according to individual judgment.

The Artist and all the artistic senses were now in a region
offering continued delights. The canons of the South Fork
of Kern Biver looking toward both Monache and Hooker
Meadows were pictures never to be forgotten. As the trail
drops oot of the timber into the open of Hooker Meadow, the
first view of grand old Mt. Whitney is given. A little further
on a halt is called while the Artist adjusts his camera, th it
something more than memory may aid to stamp this picture
in the minds of the toilers. NeBtling at theirfeet is Bamshaw
Meadow, with its velvety carpet ot meadow grasses, made
doubly green from the background of black granite hills sur-
rounding, whose only vegetation is the tribulous growth of
stunted tamaracks and cedars. It is beyond art; only Na-
ture's forcefnl hand can make trees to grow in such forbid-
ding places, where there is no soil, but only granite rocks
and Bballow sand. Beyond these hills, in the distance,
Fisherman's Peak looms up to tbe right, while straight ahead
and due north, old Mt. Whitney towers in giant majesty.
Both these peaks are nearly 15,000 feet in height. Standing
9,000 feet above the sea and contemplating these huge niouu-
ments, the first appreciation of the task they had undertaken
dawned upon the Pilgrims.

Before them were days of weary toil; the uncertainties of
trails never before traveled by tourists; quick comiDg night
to catch them without feed for animals; and the constant
possibility of following false scents, to patiently retrace the
toilsome way and so try again and again, perhaps again and
again failing of onward progress, fiemcunting, there is qui-
etude for a time, all wondering if, wishing and hoping that,
ihe deBire of their hearts, to stand on the top of Mt. Whit-
nev, may yet be surely accomplished. The Captain's sharp
order "unsaddle for camp," dismounted reverie, and an
hoar's fishing in the South Fork with a hundred trout for
reward, banished everything like dismal anticipations.

Sweet Bmelling fir boughs offer royal rest, and when to that
the captain added inkindly tone, "Sleep as late as you please,
my boys, for to-morrow's journey will be short," the Pilgrims
laid down in unsubdued happinesa to sleep in child like in-
nocence. A 4 a. M. bell is neither a baby's rattle nor a young
fellow's first love letter, bat is considerably more in tbe nat-
ure of a forced introduction to an honest day's work. A tem-
porary suspension of its hostilities, therefore, caused a burst
of gratitude, winding up in sleepy murmurs of "truly thank-
ful and bo forth."

Late then on Augast 10th was the start of the cavalcade.
It was only a short mile from Camp Plenty to the famous
Hockett trail, built when California was yet young, to cross
from the end of all roads at Portervilleover the mountains to
Inyo. Over this trail have quietly plodded along the man
who afterward found success and he who came to wear the
sackcloth of failure; him who won honor and he who became
shackled to crime; one blessed with happiness and anotner
bonnd down to misery. Tbis was once tbe only path, by
which all bound one way or the other must eo, as to their
reward or doom. The trail fr >m Bamshaw joins the Hockett
on the Divide between Whitney Creek and tbe South Fork.
Near here a tonne! diverts from theNorth to the South Fork,
a body of water which if let follow its natural bed would be-
come separated from the South Fork by one of the highest
mountain raDgeB on the continent, to join at the confluence
of the two forks of K>rn Biver nearly sixty miles from tbis
point of diversion. This tnnnel, constructed by farmers in
and around the town of "Weldon for irrigating purposes, is
about two hundred feet long, perhaps six feet high by four
feet wide in the clear, and at the deepest point may be thirtv
feet below the surface. It diverts the waters of Whitney
Creek, a natural tributary of tbe North Fork, into the otb.fr
fork of Kern Biver. It runs through loose soil and brokeD
rock, and its chief expense in construction was the cost of
timbering the ground.

Camp Beautiful was made that day on Whitney Creek near
the Natural Bridges, at 2 P. M, The whole current of Whit-

ney Creek foams under these bridges of lava. It is here
and for only a distance of 300 yards in length, namely, from
Agua Bonita Falls to the Chute, that the only golden trout in
the United States can be caught. The deeper the pool the
darker the fiBh in color, but all as drawn from the water
have a genuine golden sheen. Whoever makes the journey
below these falls deserves a prize, for it is a most difficult un-
dertaking; but while he will be fully repaid with one golden
trout, a loaded basket will be his reward. In the evening a
party of ladies and gentlemen from Visalia pitched camp
near by on their return from Mount Whitney. Satisfying
evidence was afterward found that Mr and Mrs. Gray and
one other of the party had accomplished the climb to the
summit.

At this camp ihe worthy Doctor-Deacon fulfilled his oath
and evened up with that skilled marksman, his next quarrel-
ling friend the Chaplaio. The Doctor climbed a hill— he was
given to that line of practice; the Chaplain songht a ham-
mock for the comfort of his usual snore. In some manner,
a twenty pound boulder was loosened from its twenty ages
resting place, and by a remarkable coincidence rolled directly
for the heavily weighted hammock. It seems that it should
have gone under this swinging bed with a swiah and a mar
that likely might trouble the Chaplain's sweet dream. But
it didn't. It struck a pine cone at a critical moment, and
with a gorgeous bound unshipped tbe hammock and disem-
barked the Chaplain. There was ao awful grunt, and a
vigorous right baud began violently to rub a brawny hip,
somewhat back of the right center. A kind of vernacular
not too mild, warbled around cyclonic like. The Doctor
evidently contemplated the thing from a scientific standpoint
and said nothing, with most professional suavity. After a
bit the Chaplain limped to a resting rock, and there held a
magnificent silence of about an hoor's duration. Later, the
combatants came to some eort of understanding, but not un-
til both had evidenced a wonderful command of lacgnage.

Smokeless Powder.

In a recent utterance on the subject of so-called smokeless
powders, Gen. Benet, Chief of Ordinance, TJ. S. A., said:

"We are experimenting with smokeless powder, and I
believe that in a short time we shall obtain some practical and
satisfactory results "

From present appearances the war of the future is destined
to be an approximately smokeless one, and hence more bloody.
Instead of huge clouds of smoke rolling between the two
armies, and hiding the combatants from sight, instead of
skillful maneuvers being made under its protecting shelter,
the men will be in plain view of each other, and numbers and
marksmanship will count for more in deciding battles than
skill and generalship.

This is due, in a great measure, to the recent inventions of
what is known as smokeless powder. Every European nation
is experimenting with it, and the United States does not pro-
pose to be far behind other countries.

As yet the discovery has not been adopted by any of the
great armies, for the reason that there are a number of disad-
vantages connected with its use, but these are being overcome
gradually, and it is probable that in a Bhort time the great
armies of the world will be supplied with it.

Strange to say, the United States was the first country to
which this great destructive invention was offered, and
stranger still, it is almost the last among great military
nationB to take steps looking toward its adoption. Some
twelve years ago a gentleman called at the department and
obtained an iuterview with one of the officials. He stated
that he was the inventor of a powder which would not pro
dnce smoke, and wanted to know if the officials would inves-
tigate it, and, in case it was found to do what he claimed it
would, if the government would buy the invention and adopt
it. He was told that it would undoubtedly buy sucb an in-
vention. He left, promising to return again. He was not
seen again, however.

The idea of such an invention was believed to be the delus-
ion of a crazy man, and the matter dropped out of sight until
the news came that France and Germany were experimenting
with the smokeless powder. Then the strange visitor of
years before was thought of and efforts made to find him, bnt
without avail. No reason is given for his failure to return,
but it is probable that the man may have been piqued at his
treatment, and did not care to again have bis claim so incred-
ulously received. Thus it was that the United States missed
the opportunity of securing one of the greateet inventions of
modern times.

The discovery is said to have been made by a man named
Maxin. Some, however, credit Vielle, a Frenchman, with it.
The latter's powder has been the most extensively used, how-
ever, and the results obtained have also been the best. There
are a number of other inventors. Germany, France, Austria,
England, Italy, Spain and Belgium, use different powders in
their experiments, and the one which the United States will
use will be different from any of the others, and in all likeli-
hood will be the invention of an American.

Each country which is experimenting with the powder
believes, or rather says, it has tbe beat; but as brag plays
an important part in Earopean military methods, their asfter
tions have to be taken with a great deal of allowance. The
composition of the powder has been kept secret as far as
possible. Four or five kinds have been tried in France, and
the experiments have been conducted with so much secrecy
that it is not known whether a powder has been Becored
which can be used with good results or not.

Smokeless powder consists essentially of nitro-cotton or
some other kind of nitro-cellulose, especially treated with a
view to producing a Blow-burning substance, or of nitrogly-
cerine and nitro-cotton, together with a suitable solvent, in
some cases ammonia and ether.

In its manufacture a paste is first prepared by dissolving
gun cotton in a solvent, which is usually a solution of am-
monia and ether. From the paste thus prodnced a sheet is
made, and equalized by being passed through two metal rol-
lers. Tbe sheet is first made three times the thickness it ev-
entually is, in order to allow for the shrinkage on drying.

The sheet is next freed from tbe solvent by dryiDg in the
open air or in a specially prepared oven, which permits of
the condensation and recovery of some of tbe solvent. When
nearly dry tbe sheets are subjected to heavy presBnTe to re-
duce them to the required thicknesB. The pressure is assist-
ed by softening the sheet with ether.

The sheets are then cut into strips then cut crosswise,
making cubes very small in size. In color tbe powder—
which is in reality no powder at all — is light brown, and
transparent. A good smile is a sheet of sticking plaster cut
into almost infinitesimal fquares.

Different solvent are used, and the process of manufacture
is drfferent in different countries. In Belgium it is called pa-
per powder, and in Switzerland it is called "Walsroder."

For the use of small armB the cubes or grains are made
muoh smaller, for the reason that the pressure exerted by tbe
powder is tremendous.

With ordinary powder, it wonld be impossible to fire large
guns at the maximum rate of some ten rounds per minute
on account of the banging smoke from the discharge, which
renders aiming impossible, while with the so-called smoke-
less powder, tbe same hindrance is Dot experienced Tbe
smokeless powder is not, as a matter of fact, entirely smoke-
less, but at a distance of ],000 yds. is Dot noticeable, and
what little smoke is created dissiDates very quickly.

Another great advantage of smokeless powder is the in-
creased velocity it gives the bullet VieiUe's powder which
is used in the French Lebel rifle, carries a bullet of 231 grs
at a speed of 1.968ft. per second. With a larger bullet the
speed was increased to nearly 2,590ft.

For another thing, smokeless powder does not weigh as
much as gunpowder. Therefore, for Bmall firearms the car-
tridges are made much smaller. The eamg reBulta can be
obtamed with 30grs of smokeleFS powder as with 70grs of
the ordinary black powder The difference not only in "size
but weight would allow a man to carry a great maDy more
ronnds 0f ammunition, and its adoption, when proved prac-
ticable, will permit the adoption of small-caliber magazine
guns although with the reductions of the caliber, there
would not be the corresponding reduction in the effective-
ness of the shot.

Like everything else, it has its disadvantages. The Ger-
man smokeless powder produces disagreeable and overpow-
ering odors, from the noxious gases which it forms. The
quality deteriorate? also in time, aDd it is a serious question
whether it may not absorb moisture. The English have
bad trouble with smokeless powder because it makes the
barrel of the gun too dry and produces more friction on the
bullet. The explosion is also tro violent, and frequently
destroys the bullet. To prevent this, hardened bullets have
been tried, but tbe pressure was too great, and simplv re-
suited in injury to the gun barrels.

The German powder is not noipeless, and in fact is Baid at
times to give a louder report than the ordinary powder It
also shows at times a vivid flash, which when the field is Dot
obscnred by smoke, would be the meanR of attracting atten-
tion and make tbe battery's or men's whereabouts known if
they were out of sight.

- Tiie.5m.okele88 P°wder^"8 increased velocity, especially
in rapid-firing guDs. which is an important consideration.
In the large guns it is used in strips, although the French be-
lieve it accomplishes better results by cutting it up.

The actual experiments of it first began in 1884* when it
was used by the French army. Since 1886 it has been devel-
oped considerably, and since that time has been used in tbe
artillery and in tbe field maneuvers of tbe French army. It
waB also used in the maneuvers of tbe Austrian and German
armies this fall.

Its general adoption would modifv the conditions of bat-
tle very materially. If an army were fired on they would
not know where the firing troops were, as the sound is very
deceptivp. and there would be no smoEe by which thev could
be located. There would be no smoke under which deploy-
ing could be successfully accomplished. It is said the men
feel proleoted by the smoke to some extent, but with tbe
powder in use they would have do advantage in this respect.
It would be an immense advantage to sharp-Bhooters, and in
every way would increase the casualties of war.

English snipe have come again in considerable oumbers.
At Collinsville several good shoots have been had, and at
Goodyears the sport has been especially attractive.

EasterD readers are again urged to send to us information
about where and from whom bob-white quails and prairie
chickens can be procured for Btocking purposes. Bequests
for the birds are accumulating in the office of the Fish Com-
mission, and the birds should be on hand by February or
March. Proper acknowledgment will be ma^e to those who
may interest themselves in this behalf, and the aid rendered
is in a grand cause, viz., to afford tbe sportsmen of this State
the shooting which has enabled the East and South to move
ahead so well in field trial and other interests.

A report comes from Agua Caliente, a summer resort toward
the head of Sonoma Valley, that on November 21st a herd of
deer came down from the mounteins and took shelter amoDg
the trees that surround the hotel. No attempt wa* made to
kill the deer, as the law prohibits such action until December
15th. The animals seemed dazed, and were captured by
being driven into a large barn on M. K. Cady's premises.
They were apparently starved aDd frozen ont by the long-
continued rain in the mountains. — Daily paper.

[It is to be hoped that Mr. Cady did not destroy the poor
brutes. His instincts are thoBe of a sportsman, and we are
certain that he will drive the deer back into the hills to be
hunted legitimately. — Eo.l

Such caDvas-baek shooting as that of the ten days last
passed on the Suisun brings recollections of '81 and earlier
years. Mr. A. C. Tubbs, of the Cordelia, brought to boat
110 birds last week, of which 88 were "cans." Mr. Bamon
E. Wilson, whose safe return from his two months' trip to
Mexico is noted with especial pleasure, killed a upleDdid
string on Nov. 24th at the Tule Belle, fourteen of them being
"royal bloods" Mr. JohD Kittle, at the Ibis Club, has been
pulliDg lots of dncks from the Empyrean, but few canvas
backs until recently, when he sacked 37 in a morning. Mr.
Harry Babcock, whose quickness with the shotgun has long
been the envy of a host of friends, has returned week after
week from the SuiBnn with top strings, but only recently
with such lots of "canB" as would make a Maryland shooter
think tbe milleninm had come. Mr. John M. Adams, siuce
he beat Mr. J. Dowuey Harvey at tbe traps, bas been using a
close choked pair of barrels in the fi«ld, and as a result has
scored splendid!}', particularly on canvas-backs and sharp,
flying ducks. All through the list of club men, the returns
have a sameness which argues first rate sport, enjoyed in
sportsman-like manner, with tangible results most
to numbers of the friends of the gentlemen who '
tbe Suisun synonymous with all that is best in du
ing.

Mr. Muohall to the A- K. C
The following letter hss been addressed to the delegate of

abont the action of the latter in retting to recognize the
wins of the show given by the Southern California Kennel
Clnb in June last. The letter is in Mr. Munhall'B best
vein and should induce reconsideration of the A. K. C.
action Mr. Munhall writes to Major J. M. Taj lor as follows:
""' Cleveland, O., Nov. 18, 1889.

"L^l^quBTterlv meeting of the A. K. C. Executive
Committee September 19th. Mr. Ricbards moved that be
SooTern California Club be admitted to menibersmp in the
ARC., but that the wins of their recent sb.o_w._heU in Jons,
be nut recognized; the said motion being earned The action
a the committee as regards the ...» I think to be «ro og.
lhe club adveitised their show as likely to be an A. KG
show, as they had made spoliation for membership, and
fully expected to be admitted before show was held As I
understand, their applieUion was received om: day after lhe
quarterly meeting, of course it conld n,t be acted upon until
Be next meeting? Many exhibitors went to the expense an!
trouble of making entries at the show expecting tbe wins o
their does to be A. K. C. wins, and it hardly seems right that
they sho~uid suffer for an unaccountable fault of tbe club.

I attended the show, which was a very good one for the
first attempt, and think that tbey should be encourage in
"heir efforts instead of otherwise. Tbe Executive Committee
should take into consideration that it requires much more
effort to make a show a success in that part of the country
than it does in this section. I have received letters from
some San Francisco exhibitors at the show, gentlemen whom
I met, informing me how disappointed they were at the A.
K C action in not recognizing their wins, and appealing to
me to try and have the A. K. C. reconsider its action in the
matter I! yon can consistently take this question up at the
next meeting and set a reconsideration of the vote and favor-
able action, the same wili be greatly appreciated by myself
and many interested exhibitors at tbe show. I am convinced
that such action is only justice lo them.

A Lost Dog.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman': -Several gentlemen who
have the pleasure of your acquaintance have suggested to me
that I call your attention to the loss of a "cocker Bpamel
puppy," which I imported at considerable expense from new

The dog is extremely well bred, in fact one of the best bred
cockers iu this country, and I hoped to breed some 6ne doge.
About ten days ago (two days after bis arrival) he wa- stolen
from my rooms at 418 Post street, aDd although advertised
in all the papers, I cannot get him back. I have now adver-
tised in your paper a reward of 'S20 for any information that
will lead" to the discovery of the persons having him in their
possession." The doi is only six months old, all black, loDg
ears and a short cut tall.

If you can in any way mention the matter I will be ex-
tremelv obliged. I will, at my own expense, prosecute the
gnilty parties if discovered, and as they are guilty of grand
liroeny under §421 of our Peual Code, as amended by the
statute of 1887J would like to send them to the Sta'e Prison
as an example.

If yon would in some way oall the attention of gentlemen
interested in well-bred dogs to tbe matter, possibly it might
lead to my obtaining some information.

Nov. 23 1SS9. Ward McAllister, Jr.

[We have pleasure in urging readers to be on the alert for
the cocker puppy mentioned, and if a dog answering the de-
scription is seen we Bhall be pleased to receive notice. The
meanest of thieves is the dog thief, and sportsmen should
make common cause against Buch vermin. — Ed.]

An Inhuman Act.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman-.— A paragraph in a State
newspaper reports the shooting of a valuable Irish setter at
Ventura by an unknown miscreant. The dog he killed had
straggled through the surf and raging sea, two years ago, to
the wrecked vessel Gualala, from which he returned, briog-
ing with him to tbe shore a line by which means were pro-
vided to save all on board from drowning. It is a pity that
bo noble an animal was put to death by a wretch whose life
was of less account to mankind, merely to gratify his spite or
sa'iate his cowardly purpose to kill a dog. He should have
turned the weapon npon himself. As it is, be should be
for retted out, arrested and fitly punished for his malicious
deed. A (rood dog is too valuable au animal to be killed by a
brute in the form of a man with impunity. There are law.n
in nearly all of the States 10 provide against cruelty to ani-
mals, and for the pnniBhment of those who offend in dinre-
gard of the law. Likewise Bhould the law provide against
the malicious killing of animals. A good watch dog, properly
kept to prevent the animal from attacking passer*, men,
womeD and children is a valuable property, very essential in
many ca<tee to the household and premise*. Tbe dog of the
shepherd, which guards and nroteots the flock; the hunting
dogri, which are the prized companions of sportsmen — setters,
poioters and bounds; and the household favorites of the
genus, ought to be protected by law from the malice or brutal
violence of poisoners and slayers by severe penalties. The
do^ is too valuable a oompauion of man to be considered in
tbe eyes of the law of no more coosequence than a rat or a
wolf. Dogs that bite and become dangerous, dogs that tear
and kill sheep, and dogs which are as vagabond wanderers,
are fit objects for killing, but good dogs should be duly pro*
tecterl, and their wanton Blayers ought to be punished. The
main publio sentiment is in accord with this view. L.

Two days of last week were passed at and around Bakers-
field bv President Edwards of the Pacifio Coast Field Trial
Club, Mr. \V. W. Foote, Mr, Edward Fay and the secretary
of the Club. _ .__ . ...

After reaching the recently devastated city, and strolling
about through once familar portions of it, now all bustle in
rebuilding, the party accompanied by Mesers. C. E. Lechner
and Richard Seymour drove down to section 16, where Hon.
D.M.Pyle lives. That invariably hospitable and whole Bouled
sportsman took tbe wayfarers in.gave them comfortable quar-
and the run of the ranch.

The day was one of note in the Pyly family, because the
elder daughter, Miss Dena, had j«at reached her tenth birth-
day. A charming company of little friends had gathered to
do'houor to the Bweet girl, in whom the sterling qualities and
natural graces of her inestimable parents already are crop-
ping out, among them being Misses Lena Freear, Cora May,
Delia Stoner ann Elva Pyle, and Masters Elmo Pyle, Charley
Freear, Will May, Danny Stockton and Joe Freear. A Dum-
ber of rich souvenirs were tendered, and what with recita-
tions, music, play and a dinner dressed and decorated in ex-
quisite taste, the day was as eojoyable to the visiting Bports-
men as to the immediate participants.

The afternoon was spent in hunting for quails. They were
scarce. Next day a wide expanse of land was oovered, alio
with bad luck. The ground reserved for the trials is wall
stocked and in fine condition as respecis cover and water.
Birds there are, indeed too plenty. The hotel accommoda-
tions will b6 ample for tbe trials.

A son of General Beale, is just finishing a fine hotel, and
the Arlington will be ready by Januiry 1st Bakersfield is
being re-built in brick, a very wise change. The people
are pushing along, keeping their own counsel, and full of
courage and confidence.

All of the Bportsmen of the town were seen except the chief,
Mr. W. E. Houghton, and all were most hearty in desiring
the presence of a large company of Held trialers. A hundred
or more can find placeB to sleep, and a fine restaurant is in
operation.

Altogether prospeots are favorable. D. A. Leonard has
added largely to bis livery facilities and will meet all demands.
Just before leaving Bakersfield on the return trip, Henry
Borgwardt, C. E. Sherman, D. A. Leonard and Ed. Leohner,
gathered in Mr. Leohners place of business, and spent an
hour chatting with Mr. Fay and the Seoretary. A livelier
hour we do not recall, nor one passed in better company.

Some scoundrel at Ventura, shot a fine Irish Better that
belonged to F. CharleboiB. The noble aoimal went through
the surf to ihe wreok of the Gualala two years ago, and
brought a liie-line ashore, thus saving every one on the ves-
sel.

Elsewhere will be found the liBt of Derby entries for the
coming trials. In quality, they are equal to any, but the
number is not what it Bhould be. At least fifty dogs should
have been named, and it is to be hoped that next year will
see an improvement.

ROD.

A Vigilant Officer.

There is at least one officer of the State Fish Commission
who is vigilant and faithful in the performance of his dnty.
That other appointees of the Commission are equally qualified
and active, is doubtless true, as we hope, and as occasion is
presented, full measure of merit will be awarded them in theBe
columns, without distinction of persons.

F. P. CallundaD, Chief of Patrol in the waters of this dis-
t ict for theFish Commission, is earniog earnestcommendation
for his good work. "With Deputy Riley and Curley to his as-
sistance, Chief Callundan is driving lawless fishermen from
the bays and rivers. Last week the three capturod three
junks, with twelve Chinamen, in the upper part of San Pablo
Bay for violation of the Fish law, and took the offenders to
Martinez jail to await trial and penalty. The junks, with
their nets were seized. The Chinese made desperate resis-
tance, bnt the three officers compelled them to surrender
Two other junks eDgaged in tbe Bame lawless work, managed
to escape. It is likely that they will yet be seized, together
with their crews and nets, and the lawless fishing in the
bay. by every class of offenders, will be Btopped. Other
seizures of the kind have been recently made by Chief Callun-
dan and his deputies, through vigilance and determination
in the service. The Chinese are tbe moat pestiferous of fish
robbers and prepare their nets to take everything that swims,
from the smallest to the largest, in 6eason and out of Beason.
The Fish Commission is in good earnest in driving all— with-
out regard to race or nationality— from lawless fishing. Others
besides Chinese require watching, and the inland atreams
need similar attention.

How Fish-Fry Are Transported.

A very interesting description of the methods used in
carrying fry from hatcheries to places of deposit in the lakes
and streams, iB taken from onr excellent contemporary
Shooting and Fishing, which Eays:

Let us go with a messenger with a shipment of fch fry
from the hatchery to destination, and we will go on a trip
that has actually been made. The messenger starts from
the hatchery at Cold Spring Harbor, in the middle of a
May afternoon, with 60,000 fry of the sea salmon in 12 cans.
Tbe cans of tin, cased in wood, are new and smaller than
those generally used, so small, in fact, that they are no long-
er used, in long shipments for so many as 5000 fry in a can.
Tbe fry taken from the troughs are strong and healthy, but
like all the salmonidie, they mass in the bottom of tbe can.
Broken ice is put into each can to keep the temperature
down, and tbey are shipped by wagon to the railroad sta-
tion and placed in the express car. The messenger has a
thermometer, a piece of rubber tubing to use as a siphon,
and a tin pumn. The thermometer is t3 note the temper-
ature of the water, that it may not get so high as to kill the
tisb, tbe tubiDg is to siphon the water from one can to a-
nother, and the pump, which 13 simply a cylinder of tin,
open at the top and closed at the bottom, except for small
perforations which also extend partly up the sides of the
cylinder, and of a size to easily enter th* mouth of a can,
is to sink into a can until it is filled with water and raised
until the water runs out through the boles, aerating it.

At Long Island City au express waeon is in waiting, and
the cans are soon across the river at the express depjt. Here
there 1b a wait of four hours, but the express company has
provided 300 pounds of ice, in response to a telegram for
special wagon and ice. ThecaDaare iced and occasionally
"worked." i. e., pumped, until the hour of departure. The
messenger bears a letter from the President of the express
company permitting him to ride in the express car, that he
may attend to the fish, and all the officers and employees do
everything in their power for his convenience and the safety
of the fry in hiB charge. It is an all-night ride, and there
will be no sleep. "When the fish cans are put into the car, it
is found that, owing to the bulk of express freight, tbe cans
cannot remain together; one lot is in one end of the car, and
another lot in the other, Tbe weather is so warm that nearly
300 pounds of ice are taken for the fish; still, in spite of the
warmth, there is a fire in a stove in the car. Two of the
cans have to be placed too near the stove for the well-being
of the fish, but the express messenger says as Boon as the
freight is reduced by delivery at various stations this will be
remedied. In the meantime there is nothing to do but work
them constantly and ice tbem frequently. The light of the
lantern is turned into the openings in these cans more fre-
quently than into the others, and more anxiety is felt about
their contents. All night the cans are worked, and before
daylight the ice is gone, except what remains in the cans.

At Albany more ice is obtained, but two cans show many
dead fish. The cans are changed at Albany to another road,
and here they are put into a bnggage car. The day promises
to be quite warm for the season, but there is no stove heat to
contend with. A ride of fifty mileB brings the fish to Glens
Falls, where they are obangeJ, to a wagon and driven six
miles to tbe stream in which they are to be planied. Some
few fish in one can look sick, but the motion of the wagon
and fresh ice revives them. When the brook is reached, the
temperature of the water in brook and in tbe cans is taken,
and found to so nearly agree that 'the fish can be planted
without bringing that in the cans, by degrees, up or down to
meet that of the brook. When tbe last cau is turned into
tbe Btream it is the middle of the afternoon, and for twenty-
four hours the messenger has been without sleep, working
constantly, and at a disadvantage, to bring his fish in good
order to destination. The anxiety is more wearing
than the physical fatigue, and if he finds only a few
of the little fish dead, he feels that the trip bus been success-
ful.

Contrary to expectation a few good messes of rock-cod were
booked at different points around tbe bay on Sunday last.

The best catches were made at Goat Island on the Oakland
side, P. C. Johnson and friends catching over thiity pounds.

A largfl number of fisherman visited tbe different wharves
on Sunday in eearoh of Salmon trout. Reports say that
quite a number of thiB kind of fish were hooked, but they
were all small.

At the Fresno Track.

The fame of the rcce track at Fresno haa reached from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, owing in the first place to the liberal-
ity of the Directors, who offered daring the past seaaoD a
$20,000 purse for a two mile and repeat race, which unfortu-
nately did not fill, and secondly to the remarkable perform-
ances of Sunol, who made a mile there in 2:13f, and Palo
Alto, although lame, made his in 2:15. The time of these two
last miles was telegraphed all over the United States and as
a natural consequence tbe attention of Eastern horsemen waB
attracted toward Fresno as a good place to winter the circuit
campaigners. Shortly after the annual fair Manager Baldwin
had a covering of clay placed over the coarse, and to-day
there are many who asseiL that it is now the fastest track in
the world. As to the surroundings, we know of no grounds
in the State that equal them in beauty, and the accommoda-
tions cannot be surpassed anywhere. The stalls are all large
and commodious, well sheltered and admirably located. As
a proof that Fresno is considered a very desirable place to
winter horses, Budd Doble, the celebrated Eastern reinsman,
has sent out the choice of his stable, and there are now
located there the following list of highly successful and well
known horses.

Probably the best known of tbe string is Johnston, the
fastest pacer in the world, whose record of 2:06£ has never
been equalled. Heylin by Hermes, he by Harold, is a three-
year-old colt which can show very fast quarters. Ed Annan
is noted for being the hero of the 2:17 class, for although he
has started in seven races this year and won six, he still
remains in the same class, his record being 2:16J. Lady
Bullion is another campaigner, her 2:1S| stamping her as a
very useful animal, and she has not yet attained the height
of her speed. She is by Pilot Medium 1597, dam Hattie
Hoyer by Bullion 6030. Reina is by St. Arnaud 1519, and
has lowered her record this year to 2:22£. Marie Jansen and
Madeline, both in the list, seem to take kindly to their new
■quarters, while Jack, the grey trotter, has all tbe attention
paid to him possible, his mark of 2:15 warranting the extra
-care. There are several untried mares in the stable, and it
*s probable that they will be bred to some of the California
trotting horses before their return to the East. Geo. Starr
has charge of the division, and as he is thought by many to
be the equal of any in the country as a trainer and driver, it
goes without saying that the best of care will be taken of the
visitors.

Our old friend Mr. S. N. Straube has sent up from the Pop-
lar Grove Breeding Farm half a score of promising oneB,
and they are under the charge of John Donahoo who has
trained in the past for the same gentleman and always gave
satisfaction. The premier stallion of the farm. Clovis, is
represented by a couple of youngsters that compare favorably
"with anything at the track. The first is a handsome, well
turned, evenly balanced colt, called Nicodemus, whose dam
■was Fleetwing by Winthrop, 505. His action i3 of the best,
and we expect to hear from him before the close of next
year. EHse, by the same sire, has for dam Ida Davis by
Belnor, he by Strathmore. Although only a yearling, she
can show fast quarters, and her owner feels confident that
she will do to enter among the two-year-olds in next year's
stakes. Mr. Strati.be also has a good Mambrino Wilkes colt
called Fred Wilkes, the dam being Rose by Priam, a son of
Whippb'a Hambletonian. He is a grand type of the Wilkes
family, and Bhould prove an excellent outcro3S for the many
mares now at Poplar farm. Anti-Medium is a beautiful bay
yearling by Anteeo, dam Maud Medium by Milton Medium.
When seen last spring he gave exceeding promise, but has
improved wonderfully since, and is the admiration of all.
Mr. Straube also haa a yearling, a son of Election, dam
Fannio by HomuluB. Election is a son of Electioneer, and
already has several fast ones among his get. Lida Upright is

by Upright, dam Lida by Nephew, 1220. Mr. Donahoo has
also at work a yearling owned by E. H. Tncker of Selma,
which took the first prize for yearling roadsters at the last
Fresno fair. He is by Fritz, a son of Geo. M. Patohen, Jr ,
and his dam is by Algona, one of Mr. Haggin's choice trot-
ting stallions. The last of tbe Donahoo string is a two-year
old, the property of Mr. Ganyard of Madera, who is able to
go a lively clip even now. In adjacent stables we Bud James
F. Maguire, well known to all California horsemen, with his
yonng stallion Fresno. Jim has a capital colt, and no one
knows it better than himself. It was formerly the property
of P. H. Burke of Menlo Park, and is by Fallis 2:22, dam
Girofle by Elmo, 891. The sire Fallis has lately been Bold to
parties in the East far $12,000.

Oregon Boy is a very fine stallion bred by A. C. Goodrich
of Oregon. He is by Alcona 730, dam Livonia by Almont,
2nd dam Stella Chapman by Mambrino Champion 5130. Ore-
gon Boy is an inbred Almont, and Mr. Barnard, who has him
at Fresno, should have a large number of mares booked to
him. It would seem that this point is going to be a central
one for stallions this year, as Mr. Thomas Rochford of Visa-
lia has sent his royally bred horse Free Trade to Fresno,
where he will stand during the season of 1S90. It is rarely
that the services of such a grand bred horse are offered to the
public, and so will give his pedigree in full: Free Trade was
bred by R. S. Veech of St. Matthews, Kentucky, in 1881. Is
steel grey, 16J hands high and weighs 1200 pounds. He was
sired by Princeps (son of Woodford Mambrino and PrimroBe,
by Alexander's Abdallah), sire of Trinket 2:14, and Prinoe-
ton 2:I9£, four year old record 2:23}, with twenty in the 2:30
list. Free Trade's first dam is Dawn by Belmont (son of
Alexander's Abdallah and Bell by Mambrino Chief), aire of
Nutwood 2:18|, Wedgewood 2:19, and nineteen trotters and
two pacers with record below 2:30. Second dam Midnight
(dam of Jay-Eye-See 2:10, Noontide 2:20£), by Pilot Jr., sire
of the dam of Maud S and eight in the 2:30 list, also the sire
of seven sires that have produced fifteen in the 2:30, and the
sire of thirteen dams that have produced twenty-eight in the
2:30 class. Third dam Twilight by Lexington (sire of the
dam of Clingstone 2:14): Fourth dam Daylight by Imported
Glencoe. Fifth dam Darkness by Wagner. Sixth dam Gray
Maria by Sir Richard Tonson. Seventh dam Lucy Clark by
Oscar. Eighth dam by imported Knowlsy. Ninth dam by
imported Diomed.

Mr. Hahn who is the representative of the owner, has also
in training Lulu R. by Altamont, the dam being the dam of
Emma Temple 2:21. As Altamont has put at least five in the
list this year Lulu R. should prove a jewel of the first water,
especially as Emma Temple proved her qualifications to be
ranked with the beet in her class.

Among the good ones maybe mentioned Buccaneer Jr.,
'he property of J. A. Waterman. His dam was formerly
owned by G. Valeusio, of Plecsanton, but was sold some
years ago, wben in foal to Buccaneer. The foal was the
horse which Mr. Waterman now has, and he certainly is a
credit to the celebrated Flaxtail family.

There are a number of other stables located at the track,
but want of space prevents a complete summary this week
and another article will have to tell about the others.

Triffit's Fireaway, who died in England a fortnight ago, at
the ripe old age of thirty, was the sire of innumerable
hackeys, and when the Hackney Stud book was started a few
years ago no name figured as often in it as his. Hib get are
said to have sold for, and gained in prizes in the Bhow ring,
over a million dollars. Iu his home, the East Riding of
Yorkshire, his name is spoken of with the same respect as
Ramdsdale's Performer, Bond's old phenomenon Rattler.
and other old time roadsters. His get were nearly all rioh
dark browns, with good knee actien and splendid carriage.

Dan Dennieon Telle His Story-

The members of the Symposium bad been called to order,
and each having answered to the roll call, Dan Dennisonwas
asked by the chairman to give an account of the hardest race
he had ever won. Dan is a queer character in bis way, and
the oldest horseman in the State fails to remember when the .
"hustler" first arrived in California. The Blood Horse Aaao-
oiation had just posponed the tail end of their meeting for
another day, and the "Hero of Sacramento" was hardly at
himself as the presiding officer once more requested the
member to addreas the willing listeners, Dan (and there is
only one Dan), arose from his seat, bowing to the officers
and members assembled. At first his voice was rather husky,
but as he looked around the room and saw only familiar
faces, the well known driver regained confidence, and told us
how Alameda Maid won for him the toughest race he ever
drove. The inimitable style in whioh the old man tells a
story cannot be duplicated in print, and my readere must be
content with drawing on their imagination for the quaint-
ness with which the story was told.

"Well, it would be a hard matter to explain the hardest
race I ever drove for. I have had some queer experiences in
my life with trotters. There's been plenty of days that the
sack was empty, and in a short time a French dinner was
none too good for me. Not that I eat Frenoh dinners, but I
am just trying to show how plenty the funds were. Many a
hard fight I've had on the traok, but the most that I ever got
away with was on the 20lh of April, 1877, when I waa up be-
hind Alameda Maid, and there was in the race Abe Edgin-
ton, Governor Stanford, Sweet Briar and Brushy John.
There was not a man of us driving but what knew Abe had
the foot of us for a couple of miles, and naturally some of the
other drivers wanted to stand in and play Abe to win. Well,
I thought over the matter for some time and after a while
made up me mind that as everybody knew me to be an hon-
est man I could not afford to do it, and it was because I
knew me mare could go five heats in about 'twenty*eight,'
and I had a sneaking idea the two first heats if ordinarily
fast would beat the favorite.

Well, as Bure as preaching, he went the first heats at a pret-
ty good pace, and I never let out on the mare, just kept
jogging her. The time for the two heats was 2:26J and 2:28*,
but as the driver of Stanford had to beat me if he wanted to
divide with the gang, why I simply kept him between me and
the favorite. In the third heat I pressed the Maid a trifle,
but Stanford won, and I began to get a little afraid of him,
and yet I knew they were all in on Edginton. In the third
heat Brnshy John was distanced, for although he was a good
horse he was hardly in condition for the sort of a race we had
on hand. Well, gentlemen, would you believe it, Stanford
won the fourth heat and yet I was foolish enough to send in
a little more money on the Maid, for I still had a heeD of
confidence in her. However, I felt a bit more secure be-
cause in the fourth heat we distanced Sweet Briar and that
took Charley Shear out of the race. What a fight we did
have for the fifth heat. Edginton was clearly out of it, and
it was a battle royal between Stanford aud the Maid. The
pace was not fast as in comparison with what the other heats
had been trotted in, still I knew that the mare could keep
up the lick she was going for any nomber of heats and so I
was not surprised when I beat Stanford out in 2:32£. The
talent as they call them nowaday--, the sure things fellows
that hang around the pool box, got a fearful surprise in the
sixth heat for I distanced Edginton just wben they thought
he could win as the time waa so slow. But he never did havo
any bottom, he was terribly soft, and there was no trouble in
gaining another heat in 2:32.}, and to add still further to tbe
misery of the knowing ones, I did not have to drive any
faster than 2:37$ for the seventh heat, literally carrying away
the pool box. Notf if I had stood in with the fellow;
wanted to put up a job, my Bhare would have been
small, but as it was I made a big haul. It pays to

SHORT STORIB3.
Harvey W. Peck.

If the Napa race track is thirty feet short of one mile,
which proposition has caused considerable wrangling, now
would be a good time to find it out. The sooner the better,
and finally set at rest this hollow Eastern cry of short tracks.
In pist years many Eistern men were sufficiently bigoted to
suppose that the time made by their horses could not be
beaten, and whenever a California horse accomplished the
feat, they set up a dismal yell, and above all could be heard
''short track." It is somewhat strange that all good survey-
ors live east of the Kocky Mountains. One would suppose
that occasionally one of them would stray westward, emula-
ting the "star of empire." The Eastern writers who are ever
ready to impugn every record made, are the kind of men
whose idea of the "wild and wooly West" is of the most
vague character. They imagine everything extremely crude
and primative. They labnr under the impression that the
average male inhabitant of San Francisco carries the regula-
tion "navy," with a knife in his boot, while his woolen shirt
is adorned with a large sized "specimen pin." They still
think San Francisco a "rapid" town, and picture to them-
selves the nightly revels that openly take place in the "New
Eldorado," where people drink and dance, pianoB tingle, and
voices sing night and day. This was the Btate of affairs forty
years ago, but now, alas— the sturdy policeman, when not
asleep, grasps his club and gazes wildly about for something
to "run in."

It would seem that when a party of intelligent gentlemen
form an association, purchase land, hire competent survey-
ors, and build a traok, with an eye single to having nothing
but [he best, that this dry rot about "short tracks" should
ceaSe — fori will concede to no Eastern gentleman the capaci-
ty to sit in his sanctum, while his searching eye turns west-
ward, and, even though 3,000 miles away, is enabled, at a
mere cursory glance, to see that a certain raoe track is 7 or S
or 13 or 31 feet short. A man who will attempt this fact, is,
in point of intellect, inferior to the beasts that perish.

Mr. Ambrosa G. Bierce is a gentleman who has been con-
nected with the San Francisco press for many yearB, I have
read the majority of his writings covering a space of nine
vears. His chief characteristic is antagonism to everybody
else. Whether he has any friends for whom he entertains a
kindly feeling I am not aware — but I think not? That he
thinks honesty, decenoy and generosity still exists, I am not
prepared to believe. In Sunday's Examiner of Nov. 24th.
Ambrose has the following:

"Thflre is a ghastly deal of clotted nonsense talked about
horse-racing. It is no doubt an interesting means of gam-
bling respectably— its respectability consisting in woman's
approval, attendance and participation. The dear good,
creature graciously approves horse-racing because we have
persuaded her that gambling is only incidental to it, the real
purpose being "improvement of the breed of horses," which
possibly it accomplishes; it certainly does not improve the
breed of men and women. For my part I am unable to dis-
cern in a horse which can trot a mile in two minntes and ten
seconds any worth or usefulness superior to that of a horse
which cannot. As to the pleasure of seeing it done, that is
a matter ot taste. I would as lief see a man in pursnit of his
hat. Horse-breeding and horse-racing are followed, some-
times for profit sometime for pleasure, commonly for both.
Profit is an honorable and legitimate aim, and pleasure 1b re-
prehensible in only children, churchfolk and inhabitants of
Hades; but for horse-breeders and turfmen to profesB to care
a tinsmith's imprecation for the the improvement of any ani-
mals but their own is topgallant hypocrisy."

Evidently nothing could improve this gentleman's "breed-
ing."

Previous to this tcreed Mr. Bierce has the kindness to re-
mark that his "iguorance of horse racing is wide, accurate
and varied," which statement was unnecessary as moBt any
one would be aware of it after reading the above. After his
name should be written "Nihil quod leligit non ornavit.".

In the Breeder axd Sportsman of Nov. 16th there ap-
peared on article on "thoroughbred blood" in the trotter,
written by some gentleman over the nom de plume of Falls-
town. This gentleman goes over the usual ground in prov-
ing that an infusion of thoroughbred blood is detrimental to
great speed at the trot — as a general proposition— and a sig-
nal failure when it comes to "breeding on." He says: "For
years there was a widespread belief that the trotter could best
be produced by the indiscriminate use of thorough blood."
This is news to me. I am acquainted with I think most of
the advocates of thorough blood in the trotting horse, and I
never heard of any of them contending that the "indiscrimin-
ate use" of thorough blood was the best way to produce trot-
ters. Many of these men have claimed that a certain per*
centage of thorough blood was advantageous, at the same
time stating that certain families of thoroughbreds were
much more desirable than others.

Fallatown says that "John H. Wallace was the first to com.
bat this theory with any force, aod he has maintained hia po-
sition with signal Buccess." Indeed he has not. The Trot-
ting Regihter and the- Year Book, both of which are compiled
by Mr. Wallace, show that he is wrong. I would invite the
attention of Fallatown to an article I wrote in the Bbbkdeb
axd Sportsman some mouths ago, entitled "Thoroughbred
to the Trotter." I would like to have him answer the article
in such manner that it will come to my notice. If he can
show me that the article is a mistake I will cheerfully ac-
knowledge it; but if the records show no more on his side
than I produced on the other then he had better face Mecca
nnd listen to the Muezzins call to prayer.

Like "Fallatown" I am of the unalterable conviction
hat very few horses could Bire fast trotters from thorough-

bred mares, but it would appear to have happened to the lot
of many stallions to do so, where the thoroughbred was one
remove farther away. "Fallstown" winds up with the fol-
lowing:

"Among the colts of St. Bel now being educated by Cope
Stinson, at ProBpect Hill Stock Farm, are two fillies out of
thoroughbred dains— Bonnibel, out of Belle D., by Belmont,
son of Lexington; and Belle Dame, out of Bertha, by Biga-
roon, son of Bonnie Scotland. I watched them closely in
their work, with others from gilt-edged dams, aod in speed,
purity of gait and trottioa disposition, they appeared in no
way inferior to their half 'sisters, indeed, the fastest of this
lot of very speedy voungstera wa3 the filly Bonnibel. Her
dam, Belle D., was" not only a thoroughbred in blood, but
was a good race mare in fict. The chances are very strong
that she will enter the 2:30 list as a two year old. Notwith-
standing this, I would not consider her worth nearly as
much for breeding purposes as one of her less speedy but
more strongly trotting-bred half sisters."

If not, why not? No reason can be given which is based
upon facts or past performances.

There seems to be an almost universal opinion prevalent
that Pilot Jr., sire of the dams of Maud S. and Jay-Eye-See,
as well as some thirty more trotters, was a pacer! In the
Nov. 16th issue of the Breeder and Sportsman, Dr. Hicks
takes "Fallstown" to task for abusing pacing blood. The
Dr. says, Mr. Broadhead— Mr. Alexander's superintendent
— boasts that he was 'loyal' to Pilot pacing blood, when the
great breeders held it as trash, and can now proudly point to
Maud S., Jay-Eye-See, Nutwood and others, in justification
of his judgment. " Now, I have no antipathy to the pacer
or the pacing cross, but neither Mr. Broadhead nor any-
body else can convict Pilot Jr. of being a pacer. Several
years ago, Dr. Herr, of Kentucky, wrote an article for the
Western Sportsman, of which the following is a verbatim et
literatum copy. He says:

"I have recently noticed in some of the sporting papers
that parties writing in regard to Pilot Jr., claim that he was
a pacer. I think the impression is an erroneous one, and
had the authors of the articles have had a personal know-
ledge of the horse, they would hesitate before making this
assertion to the public.

I purchased Pilot Jr. from Mr. D. Heinsohn, of Louis-
ville, Ky., and afterwards sold him to B. A. Alexander, of
Spring Station, Ky. Having owned the horse and driven
him at every rate of speed from a walk up to his highest rate,
and having seen him from his box stall, in the paddock, and
in his races, and having trained and handled the horBe, I can
say that I never at any time while I had him in my posses-
sion, saw the last disposition in the horse to strike a pace,
but always found him to be a square and resolute trotter. I
stood Pilot Jr. a fall season for mareB, and made a public
challenge to trot five of his get against an equal number of
the get of any stallion, which was not accepted. I owned
and saw many of his colts, and although he served mares
from pacing families, I never saw one of his colts pace. He
may have gotten an occasional pacer, but such never came
under my observation, as all his colts were square and hon-
est trotters. Knowing that the blood of Pilot courses through
the veins of some of our best performers on the trotting turf,
aud that there are some writers who are so closely wedded to
the pacing cro3B and opposed to the thoroughbred, they are
very apt to fall into the error of writing 'pacer' after a
horse's name, (especially if his name appears in some of the
close up crosses in the pedigree of some distinguished per-
former), as the word pacer accords with the pet 'theory,'
they are ready to accept and assert it as a fact, even when
the information is very meagre, and comes from some one
who has never had an opportunity to become personally ac-
quainted with the factB. We all have our weaknesses, and
whenever a statement accords wiLh our 'pet hobby' we are
only too ready to accept it as a fact, and never take the
trouble to investigate the matter, and see whether the in-
formation oomes from a reliable source, or from some one
who has never been in a position to know what they are talk-
ing about. I trust no one will infer from this card that I am
opposed to the pacing cross, (of which I am particularly
fond) or that I would have it believed that the pacer has not
contributed greatly toward the capacity of our trotters to
lower the record. I simply write this, beoause I notice there
is a disposition on the part of some writers to inform the
public that such and such a horse 'was a pacer,' whereas the
fallacy of such a statement is at once apparent to one who
knows from experience that the horse in question never
manifested the slightest disposition to pace. Those who
claim that Pilot Jr. was anything but a square and honest
trotter, err, either from a want of reliable information, or
from an unwillingness on the writer's part to accept any
statement that tendB to substantiatea 'pet theory.'

PleaBe pardon me for having infringed on your valuable
space, but I thought that one who knew the facts ought to
give his experience and speak out in meeting, lest theimpreB-
Bion Bhould be made on the public that Pilot, Jr., was him-
self a pacer, which I know to be a mistake, and I am sure no
one who ever handled or was familiar with the horse will
write after the name of "Pilot, Jr., pacer."

When Palo Alto, Stamboul. Sunol,, and others started
upon their respective journeys at Napa, a very large
and glowing account was contained in that progressive paper,
Belf-styled "The Monarch of the Dailies," viz., the Examiner!
The Examiner reporter was on the ground during the prog-
ress of the various trialB against Father Time. He even had
an amateur photographic camera on hand, by which means a
series of particularly diabolical pictures were foisted upon
the credulous public, representing Stamboul jogging, Palo

Alto at speed, and many other trotting positions that were
calculated to make a strong man cry like a child.

This Examiner man also discovered Mr. W. H. Crawford
of Kentucky in the act of imparting the fact that the Napa
track was short. This Mr. Crawford afterwards denied. The
most singular thing, however, is the fact that this young
man never discovered that Alfred G trotted a mile in 2:19J!
Is it possible that 2:19| is not fast enough to deserve men-
tion? The time was when such a mile by a four-year-old
would have been considered a most wonderful performance,

There is another reason assigned for not mentioning Al-
fred G, but I will not give it, though it comes from very
high authority. I would, however, suggest to the gay and
festive scribes that aspire to the front rank as horse report-
ers, that it is not we 1 to boom one sire at the expense of
another. The progeny of some particular horse may force
themselves to the front in such manner in the near future
that their capabilities can be no longer overlooked in spite of
the mouthings of one or two uneducated and pig-headed
men.

There are some men in the State of California that have-
acquired ample fortunes —not through ability, but by inter-
position of compassionate Providence. These gentlemen
forthwith purchase horses of high type. They secured the
best their judgment and money could procure. TheBe gen-
tlemen have now arrived at the definite conclusion that there
is no other horse of very muchimportance outside their own,
and they think that the instantaneous death of all stallions
except their own would be a good thing. I propose Btating
to these individuals, that all equine merit does not center in
any ond horse— which proposition is indefensible, I think;
any more than all human intelligence is contained within
their brains — which proposition is unanswerable, I know!

"Amber," of the Chicago Horseman, has the following
anent the great Horse Show, which has recently cloBed.
Speaking of the exhibit of Percherons, she says:

"The exhibit of Percheron horses was something long to
be remembered. When the grand fellows were led into the
ring, each one held by a groom, who. in comparison to his
charge, looked like a jack-straw chaperoning an ocean
Bteamer, a thrill ran through the audience which expressed
itself in ringing applause. Added to their superb strength
and luxuriant growth of mane and tail, there was a gentle-
ness of expression and dignity of carriage which marked
them, with other heroes of the human kind, to be 'mild as
well as daring; gentle as well as brave.' Each one of them,
as with grandly erected head and flowing mane aud tail they
trotted by, or stood, claiming the plaudits of the gathered
thousands assembled to do them honor, seemed equally fitted
to be the pet of a lady or the thunder-hoofed bearer of some
eager Johnstown Baviour seeking to save a threatened valley
from its doom. Ooe of them, especially, a noble gray with a
tail like a silver cloud and the face of a gentle philosopher
united to the strength of a Hercules, seemed the very horse
I should have selected to bear the dainty 'Duchess May' on
her storied midnight ride, or to have ridden the battlement
wall later with her frenzied lord."

All of which is beautifully expressed, for indeed the lady is
one of the most elegant of writers, but when Bhe speaks of a
Percheron as "the thunder-hoofed bearer of some eager Johns,
town savior," I draw the line; and her selection of one of
them to bear the "Duchess May" shows me that her knowl-
edge of the characteristics ot a Percheron is vague and un-
certain.

Along with 56,800 other people, I subscribed for the
Weekly Examiner. With the subscription, as everybody
knows, was given a numbered receipt entitling the holder to
a chance In a list of prizes, embracing everything from a
walking stick to a farm. I looked through the prize list and
picked out the thoroughbred fiily! I then considered the
feasability of subscribing for a second copy, that I might
draw the 10-acre tract of land in Palermo, upon which to
pasture the filly. There arose, however, a lingering doubt
in my mind as to whether the 10-acre tract in Palermo would
furnish feed enough for a filly. This proposition was so
startling that I decided to forego tho second subscription. It
was just as well, for I didn't eet the filly, and consequently
have no use for the land. From now on I confine myself to
the Louisiana Lottery.

Steam Horse-Cleaner.

To the farmer boy who has never seen a horse cleaned ex-
cept by the hand, with the good old curry comb aod brush,
it would be quite a sight to visit some of the large city barns
of the car or express companies or large livery establishments
and see the horse cleaned, so to speak. Should he visit the
Palmer House livery Stables, Chicago, he might see any day
a horse undergoing his toilet — in stable parlance, "gittin'
cleaned and curried." In exactly forty seconds the animal is
turned over to the keeper, as bright as a new pin — mot a
speck of dirt nor a turned hair to be seen on his Bleek, shiny
cuat. In two hours, time, no less 150 horses, big aud little,
rtoeive their daily clean up and are made ready to prance
out into society. This revolution in the art of horse clean-
ing, rubbing down and currying all in one, is caused by a
simple oontrivance, a movable Bhaft, one end of whioh is a
circular brush composed of fairly stiff bristles. The brush,
which is run by steam, revolves many hundred times a min-
ute, and is guided by a cleaner. Two oleaners operating with the
brashes on one animal at the same time, can accomplish more
in a minute tban can four men with the old brush and curry
comb in twenty minutes. As soon as the brush touches the
body of the horse, the dirt and dead hair fly in all directions,
and it only needs a second "going-over" to have the animal so
clean that a glove would not be soiled in rubbing over the
hide. _ At first the horse appears frightened at the noise of
revolving shafts, but as soon as he feels the touch of the
brush, edp>es up closer to the cleaner and give every indica-
tion of pleasure. The harder the pressure on the brush the
harder will be the rubbing, of course, and when the sensation
becomes uncomfortable the horses move away. In this way
the oleaners are easily informed how hard a rubbing the ani-
mal will stand.

Another Sucker Caught.

Every few months it becomes neccessary as a matter of
news to publish how some man has been downed by the
gang of sharpers that are well known from Yreka to San
Diego. Last Snnday morniug a lad was seen riding the
race horse Jack Pot into the Oakland track and shortly after'
wards the irrepressible Stover was noticed to sneek into the
enclosure probably looking for the sucker, as he is the
"smooth Ephriham" that does the s-lick work for the gang
and takes all the responsibility while at the same time he
gets a goodly share of the plunder. In the course of a few
minutes the notorious horse Lucky Dan was escorted in by a
specimen of the same Kidney, and at the same time a few
chosen spirits were busily engaged in putting up the stakes in
the hands of a doctor who was present. The money amounted
1 1 $3,000 a side but one of the parties to the agreement was
short several hundred and it had to be scraped up among
friends that were conveniently at hand. Oaly a few minutes
elapsed before the judge was in the stand and a starter on
his way to the quarter pole. The race was a dash of three
qnarters of a mile, Hazlett putting np the money on Jack Pot
with the understanding that Stover wis to ride the brown geld-
ing, while the $3,000 on Lucky Dan seemed to come from an
uoknown source, but it is generally supposed that Stover and
his friend Smith, of Market Street liquor Btore fame, were the
producers.

The horses were started, Lucky Dan going immediately to
the front, Stover, with characteristic goodness of beait, pu'l-
ing Jack Pot so as not to tire the game son of Joe Hooker tro
Boon. It is probably needless to saj1" that Licky Dan won,
although Stover claimed that he was fouled on thebackstretch.
Then to make the job look even more solid, the s'arter claimed
that there was no start, but as the stakeholder paid over the
money, first one and then another slunk away, and in a few
minutes after the farce waB over, the trotting park was a picture
of lonliness again. The old broodmares, who had stopped
eating for a few minates, started browsing once more, and to
an outsider who might have happened iD to view the fast

Leslie MacLeod on Sunol and the Palo Alto
Farm.

The performance of Senator Leland Stanford's trotting
wonder Sunol, and the sale of the filly to Robert Bonner for
a price that is supposed to be over $50,000, puts the name of
that precocious young performer in every horseman's month,
but the many padded columns that have been devoted to the
Palo Alto phenomenon have been written at long range.
With a view to gathering some rock-ribhed facts about the
mare, the writer asked Leslie E. Macleod, the junior editor
of Wallace's Monthly, who spent last winter at Palo Alto, and
thereby became intimately acquainted with the mare and her
training, for particulars.

"I was at Palo Alto," said Mr. Macleod, "from the middle
of Jannary to the first of April, and, of course, had extraordi-
nary opportunity for observation. Sunol is a difficult ani-
mal to describe, for the reason that 6he has a conformation and
individuality her own. She is a beautiful hay in color, and
stands fifteen hands two inches high at the withers, while
measured at the qnarters she is full sixteen hands high. This
conformation you will see at a g'ance is very favorable to
high speed — it is the greyhound type, and necessarily gives
gre<t length to the rear quarters and IegB, and hence great
stride. Maud S. i* of that conformation, andsoiBElec-
tione r, the sire of Sunol, but among all the celebrities of the
trottiog turf none have it lo the seemiogly exaggerated ex-
tent observed in Suuol's outlines. She has an exquisitely
handsome head, marred somewhat, however, ^y a rather
sour expression, and the neck is of good length and very
beautifully lined. The shoulder is prominent, running ob-
liquely to a rather low and smoothly turned withers. Her
depth through the heart region and the formation of the
chest give the requisite lung capacity. There is just the
slightest tendency to roach in her back, but the coupling is
strong and the loin broad. The lower line of her barrel runs
harmoniously, if I may so express it, with hy back, curving
high at the ffink, and this, though she is not very light-
waisted, in connection with her great length from the hip to
the hock, gives her the most greyhound'sh appearance imag-
inable. She is not particularly handsome, as the popular
idea of the equine beauty goes, but her speedy and rakish
look has a charm for the critical eye. She has the s-loping
romp that trotting horsemen define as 'the pacing cinforma-
tion, ' and some critics see in these outlines a resemblance to
that grf at campaigner, Guldsmith Maid."

*'Teli me about her temper. Has she a good disposition?"
"She is one of the most nervous, high-strnng and cranky
animals that ever vexed the heart of a trainer. Not that she
is particularly vicious, but she is amazingly irritable, and
acts as though every individual hair was an exposed nerve.
I have seen it stated that Mr. Bonner will drive her in Cen-
tral Park. I do not think he will either drive or shoe her."
"How was she traine ?"

■' Charles Marvin, Senator Stanford's trainer, is a man of
great resources in his profession, an indefatigable worker,
and a close student of the mental trails of the horses he
trains. He is far and away the most successful trotting-horse
trainer of this age, and a man of even temper and superior
intelligence My visit to Palo Alto was for the purpose of
preparing for publication a work on training, written by Mr.
Marvin, and ntcessarilyl had to stuiy the PaloAlto methods
closely. The usual coarse was followed with Sunol. The
colt at Palo Alto is weanei at about five months old, and is
then taught to lead by the halter After he becomes thor-
oughly accustomed to this, he is given hiB first preparation
for his turf cireer. This is on the miniature track, or, as I
call it, the kindergarten, and, mark you, this innovation is
one of the distinctive featares of the system of training which
Senator Stanford and Mr. Marvin have perfected. Thid is a
cohered track, about one-fifteenth of a mile in circumference,
and, in fact, a counterpart in miniature of (Deregulation mile
track. The colt is led around it until the novelty wears off,
and is then turned loose, after being carefully hooted with
perfect fitting shin and quarter boots. Of course the colt's
first imrjulse is to gallop around the track, but he soon settles
into a trot, and is thereafter kept at it as much as possible,
being controlled by the voices and the whips of the trainers,
but he is never struck or treated with the slightest violence.
"The youngsters learn surprisingly fast what is wanted of
them, and after a few months take the exercise with scarcely
a mistake. Prominent among (he good featnres of thiB train
ing equipment, it may be mentioned that it sifts the good
from the bad, and enables the trainer to pick out those that
are most promising. This is no small advantage at a place
of the extent of Palo Alto, where there are about 300 brood
mares in the stud, and from 70 to 100 horses and colts always
in training."

"How long does this training on the miniatore track con-
tinue?"

"Until the colt is about fourteen months old, it is the on
ly training. After that he is worked, both in harness and
on the miniatnre track, until, say two years old, when he
sees the last of the kindergarten. At about fourteen months
of age the colt is broken to harness, and his work begins ou
the mite track. This work consists in short, sharp brushes
to develop high speed, and this 'brush system' is also a
Palo Alto innovation. This, with the miniature track, has
been criticised by trainers of the old school, but their criti-
cisms do not have much weight agaiDst the fact that horses
bred and trained at Palo Alto hold the fastest trotting rec-
ord for yearlings, two year-olds, three-year-olds and foor-
year-olds, and Sunol's three year old record is within one-
balf second of Jay Eye-See's five year old record.

' To show how little Mr Marvin practic s the old sjstem
of drilling horses many slow miles, instead of driving short
distances at high speed, I may say that Sunol was never
driven aronud a mile track at speed until a day or two before
her first rnce at Los Angeles, C«L, as a two year old. She
waa then worked a mile in 2:4(H. and another in 2:38 Two
days before the rice she worked a little faster, and won the
race in 2:32^, 2:25. Then work whs resumed on the usual
Palo Alt" plan, and she was driven no more miles until
August 19. at Petaluma, where she was worked in i:3S and
2:33, aud won a race on the 21st in 2:28A. 2:26f. Then she
was taken home, and not worked a mile until October, when
she was twice given a mile aud repeat well within her limit.
A few days later she lowered the two yearold record to 2:20},
and she was not driven at speed again a full mile until she
made her maive'lous two year old record of 2:18, and this
year she bas lowered the three year old trotting record 7J
seconds — from ?:18 to 2:10.1. This performance at three
xeir olds is a much greater odc tbao Maud S.'s 208| at ma-
turity."

"Ib not her bieedihg in diepute?"

"The breeding of her gran^nm is. Jt is contended by Sen-
ator S arffrd and others thdt Waxv, her grandma, whs by
Lexington, out of a daughter of Grey E*gle, but this Mr.
Wallace, the editor of the Trotting Reg:ster, disputes with
evide- ce that will not down. Mr. Wallace does not contend
that Waxy was not a racing-bred mare, but concedes .that

she probably had running blood. He does contend, however
aud successfully I think, that she was not by Lexington out of
Grey Easle mare. Waxy started only once in a race and she
performed so wretchedly that ber owner cave her away im-
mediately after it. Bat she was the dam of the good race
mare Alpha, the best of the get of imported Hercules, and
this is presumptive evidence that she was racing bred. Elec-
tioneer, the sire of Sunol, was bred at Stony Ford, New
York, and General Benton, the f-ire of her dam.'Waxana, was
also bred in New York. Whatever ber grandam was, Sunol
must be conceded to be the most marvellous trotting machine
that has yet appeared, «nd the greatest triumph of Senator
Stanford, her breeder, and Marvio, her trainer. And as I
have shown. New York shares the glory with California." —
New York Tribune.

The Standard.

[AS REVISED AND ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF TROTTING-HORSE BREEDERS. DECEMBFR H, 1887.]

In order todefine what constitutes a trotting-bred horseand to estab-
lish a breed of trotters on a more intelligent baais, the following
rules are adopted to control admission to the records of pedigrees.
When an animal meets the requirements of admission and U duly
registered, it shall be accepted as a standard trotting-bred animal: —

FmsT.— Any stallion that has himself a record of two minutes and
thirty seconds (2:>0) or better, piovided any of biB get bas a record of
2:35 or better, or provided his sire or bis dam is already a standard
animal.

Second.— Any mare or gelding that has a record of 2:S0 or better.

Thibd. — Any horse that is the sire of two animals with a record of
2:80 or better.

FooarH.— Any borse that is the Bire of one animal with a record of
2:30 or better, provided he has either of the additional qualifications:
(1) A record himself of 2:35 or better. [2) Is the sire of two other
animals with a record of 2:36 or better, (i) Has a sire or dam that ia
already a standard animal.

Fifth -Any mare that has produced an animal with a record of
2:30 or better.

Sixth. -The progeny of a standard horse when out of a standard
mare.

Seventh.— The female progeny of a standard horse when out of
mare by a standard horse.

Eighth.— The female progeny of a standard horse when out of
mare whose dam is a standard mare.

Ninth. Any mare that has a record of 2:35 or better, and who
sire or dam is a standard animal.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by ArpbippuR.
SUMMARY.

In our columns this week will be found full particulars of
the different sporting events that took place on Th.nta£»8
Day. Just now the athletes are resting preparatory to donn-
ing their togs for the season of 1890.

BUHKKBS, WALKERS, JDMPERS, ETC.

Three good men made their appearance at the Q. A. 0.
games on Thanksgiving Day. McKinnoo and Cassidy of the
facinc Athletic Club aud Gallagher of the University A. C.
All three ar« liable to win a championship each on May JO.

Phil Moody of the P. A. C. ran a splendid race in the half
mile. He will probably be heard from next year.

Th« University men had the advantage over the other ron-
ners on account of having bad a chance to train on the track
previous to the games. The Berkeley track is built so that
a man running on it for the first time is heavily handicapped
at the turns.

Moffet will certainly beat six feet in the high jump on May
30th. .

A. S. Henderson will he a very dangerous opponent in the
"quarter."

Flynn thiaks he will compete in the championship games
next year.

The 0. A. C. will need all its men to capture the flag, on
occount of the retirement of Sohifferstein.

McArthur will probably not run until the championship
meeting, as he has a great dislike to being heavily handi-
capped.

Captain George W. Jordan will be an aspirant for cham-
pionship honors.

Horace Coffin has made up his mind to appear on the track
again on Washington's Birthday.

It would not surprise ns in the least to see Charles B. Hill
compete in the walk on May 30th.

Walter A. Scott should train for the championship games,
as his presence will be greatly needed.

THE WHEELMEN.

The next regular meeting of the Oakland Bicycle Club of
'89 will be held at the residence of S. S. Small, 804 10th Street,
Oakland, on Tuesday evening, December 10th.

G. H. Gihon, of the Oakland B. C, promise* to develope
into a first-class long distance rider before next Beason.

Secretary Drake works like a Trojan in the interest of his
club

The regular meeting and election of officers for 1890 of the
San Francisco Bicycle Club will be held on Thursday even-
ing, Dec. 12th, at the olnb rooms. The following are the
Dominations: President, George I Hobe; Vice-PreBident, Lou
D Owens; Captains, F J H Manning and C W Brewster; 1st
Lieutenant, E L Favor and W G Lowry; 2nd Lieutenant, A
A Martin, T S Cobden and P L Ingham; Recording Secre-
tary, C W Brewster and Sig. B Morse; Financial Secretary,
H Allen Matthews; Bugler, B C Austin Jr. and C B Webster;
Club Committee, H 8 Field, W F Soule, J I O'Brien, C A
MoDonald, J MoCurragh and W G Lowry.

The run which was to have come off on Dec. 1st has been
postponed to Sunday, Dee. 8th.

The annual club banquet will be held on or about January
11th, 1890.

THE WHEELMEN AT NAPA,

The joint race meet of the Bey City Wheelmen and Vine-
yard Valley Wheelmen took place at the race track at Napa
on Thanksgiving Day. About 750 people were present to see
the Bport. The track, which ia one mile in circumference,
was in frightful condition. From the first quarter around to
the third quarter one bicycle could not pass another, as there
was only a narrow pathway open. The splendid condition,
however, of the contestants was showo on the first and last
quarter. Southworth, of Stockton lowered the Pacific Coast
record in the one quarter mile dash. The following races
were decided: —

1 — One mile novice race — Allan Marshall, B C W, first;
George P Wetmore, B C W, 2od. Time 4:40.

2— Quarter mile dash— E E Southworth, OLW,lst;CE
Townsend, U C W, 2nd. Time 37Ja.

3 — One mile safety novice — George H Liebe, B C W, 1st;
W M Parks, V V W, 2nd. Time 3:58.

4— Three mile safety novice— Julias Smith, scratch, G C
W, 1st; CE Townsend, 50yds, W C W, 2nd. Time 11:44 3-10;

5 — One mile Bafety scratch — Sanford Plnmmer, B C \V, 1st;
C:B Lakeman. UOW, 2nd. Time 3:37.

6— One mile scratch— F E Southworth, O L W, 1st- CB
Wheaton, 8 F B C, 2nd. Time 3-37.

7— Quarter mile dash for Vineyard Valley Wheelmen — Joe
Parker 1st. Time 481s.

8— Five mile handicap— George P. Wetmore, B. C. W.,
firBt; time, 20:14$. Julius Smith of the G. C. W , the scratcn-
man, took a very bad header at the end of the third mile
while spurting, sustaining, fortunately, only skin bruises.
As all the other entries dropped ont early in the race, Wet-

Considering the wretched condition of the track, the time
made in the different races was very good. During the prog-
resH of the qnarter mile daHh Donne's wheel slipped in a rut
and he collided with 0. B. Wheaton, throwing both riders,
Both men sustained trifling, though rather conspicuous, in-
juries. The wounded wheelmen were attended by Dr. J.
Keed of Stockton, to whom preat credit U duo for the Hkillful
manner in which he attended their injuries, and for the won-
derful oramp remedy which he administered to the Chief

The wheelman were very fortunate, considering the bad
state of the weather, in securing uncli a largo attendance.
During the early part of the day It wu f< ured that an assess

large hall wan givmi at the Opera House in" the p'vening,

JOTTINGS FKOM ALL OVKR,

A Rpecial attraction at the games of the Seventh Hegiment,
"fhich will be held this evening at thoir Armorv, New York
vity, will be the two mile run, in which A. B. George, W l>.
Day, Sidney Thomas, E. < . Carter and K. Bjerlabery are ei
. *-cted to compete.

The first annual indoor games of the St. George Athletic
Club wiil come off at the Club House, Staten Island, on De-
cember 14th.

It is rumored that MatsadaSorakicbi, the well known Jap-
anese wrestler, is a victim of quick consumption, and that he
will never be able to step on the stage again.

The Owashtanonong Boat Club, of Grand Kapids, Mich.,
have determined to add an outdoor athletic ground to their
property and a committee of rive has been appointed to
make the necessary arrangements. The plan of grounds will
be the same as that of the Detroit Athletic Club, with slight
modifications, the dimensions being 7i0ft long by 500ft wide.
On the one side will be a straightaway cinder path 220yds
lone and there will also be a circular path, ioor laps to the
mile' together with a oaseball Diamond, football field, and a
half dozen lawn tennis courts. A grand stand capable of ac-
commodating 2,500 people will be erected, ihe lower portion
of which will be lifted up with dressing rooms for gentlemen
and ladies, with bath rooms and all modem conveniences.
The grounds have not yet been selected, but the oommittte
will shortly decide which of the sites offered best suits the
wants of the club.

It is proposed to hold an international single scull regatta
at Seattle, W. T., during the season of 1S90, the sum of $15,-
000 to be distributed in prizes. C. C. Calkins and the syndi-
cite who have projected the atf'dir have communicated with
the principal oarsmen of all countries, from H. E. Sear J e
down, and if the responses from, the world's champion
Neil Matterson and Stansbnry are favorable, the affair wil
most assuredly be carried to a head.

The Eastern athletes deeply regret the retirement from the
athletio world of Victor E. Sohifferstein and John Purcell,
of the Olympic Club of San Francisco.

Several hundred members ot the Boston Athletic Associa-
tion, gathered in the gymnasium, on Nov. 25th. , to witness

4MATEUE. ATHLETIC ONION.

The Board of Managers of fhe Amateur Athletic Union
held a meeting on Saturday evening, Nov. 23rd, at the Astor
House, New York City. The following delega'eB were pres-
ent: A G Mills, N Y A C; Walter Storm, M A C; F W Jauo-
sein, S I A C; Dr George Dowling, Orange A C; F. Gerow,
A A C; W Kurtz, Warren A C; W.lmington DJI, P A C; J E
Sullivan, P A C; Howard Perry, C dumbia A C; H McMillan.
A C of S N.

The Detroit Athletic Club and the Boston Athletic Associa
tion, were represented by proxy. President McMillan took
the chair.

The following were appointed as a committee for the pro
posed international athletic meeting to be held during the
World's Fair: A. G. Mills, N. Y. A. C; F. W. Eddy, Detroit
A. C ; Howard Perry, Colombia A. C ; G. B. Morrison, Bos-
ton A. A., and Harry MuMillan, A. C. of S. N., chairman.

The board declined to sanction the proposed hosing tour-
nament of the Deerfoot Harriers, and resolved that clnbB,
members of the A. A. TJ., are advised not to allow their ath-
letes to enter therein. The same action was taken in the
case of the Union Athletic Club, of BoBton, which announ-
ces a boxing show for Dec. 21.

The records made by W. D. Day for 10 miles, and Sidney
Thomas for 9 miles, on Oct. 26, and also those at inttrme-
diate distances at 4 miles and under, made on Nov. 16, were
accepted. George Schwegler's claim for the 24U-yard 2 foot
6 mob. high hurdle-race was referred back to the Record Com-
mittee for further investigation.

The following dates for athletics and boxing meetings
were allowed by the Schedule Committee: Jan. 16, Varuna
Boat Club; Jan. 22 and March 20, Riverside Athletic Clab;
Feb. 22, Star Athletic Club.

Mr. Mills proposed the following, which was passed: "That
it is the sense of this board that the A. A. U , having taken
jurisdiction over baseball, no member of any A. A. U. club
can receive pay or compensation under any guise for taking
part in any game of baseball, nor can any baseball team of
any club of this Union containing any person hired to 611 any
position therein participate in any game of baseball played
under A. A. U. ruleB; but nothing herein contained shall be
construed to debar auy club from presenting in its baBeball
team a player not a member of such club, but hired to play
in such team, from playing baseball in any game not held un-
der A. A. U. rules."

The aotion taken by the Board in reference to the general
subject of baseball is as follows: "It is proposed to amend
the constitution of the A. A. U. so as to permit amateur base-
ball players to play with or against professionals, so long as
said amateurs are in no way pecuniarily benefited,; it being
the opinion of those advocating the amendment that so long
as said amateurs do not compile with professionals for prizes
or money that the real amateur standing of no one is inter-
fered with. If this amendment JB adopted, then the A. A.
U.'s jurisdiction over amateur baseball will not Interfere with
any team of baseball players desiring to play a paid battery
so long as such teams are not competing for the A. A. U.
baseball championship."

The following rules were adopted: Rule 1. Affiliated,

G. M. L. Sachs, of New York Ciiy, who is well known as
a patron of athletics, was suddenly paralyzed on the train
near Roohester, while on his way home from Chicago. It is
reported that Dr. Metcalf. a fello'w passenger pronounoed his
condition nearly hopeless. The above news will be much re-
gretted in amateur athletic circles.

AT THE OARS.

The weather on Sunday lust was very bad for
poses.

"The wind was flercp, the waves ran bigb:
The Oarsfuen fear'd the toreafuingsky,"

and in consequence only a few crews took their customary
sjun. J

Messrs. Finley, Pless, Larkey, and Robjobn, of the Ariels
look the club barge and rowed to the Sugar Refinery.

The O'Brien crew came out ahead in the barge race be-
tween members of the Lurlioe Club at North Beach on Son-
last.

M. Sullivan of the Ariels took a spin in the ClubsWhileHall
boat on Sunday. He rowed to Washington Street wharf.

The main topio in rowing circles at present is the much taJked
about match between Jackson, of Vallejo and Charlie Long
of this city. In an interview with Mr. Long by a reporter of
the Breeder and Sportsman od Monday ladt. he stated that
he does not feel inclined to row again unless the match is for
$1000 aside and should lie arrange a match for that amount
wiu or lose he will give up rowing aDd attend strictly to his
private business.

William Growney and Leander Stevenson, took their sin
gle shells and rowed to Hunters .Point on Sunday. Eich
man congiatulated the other in being in the winning crew on
Thanksgiving Day.

Qaite a nauiber of good oarsmen have recently joined the
Luiliue Club, and it certainly should produce some excellent
crews next spring.

If all the oarsmen on the coast were as enthusiastic over
rowing matters as H. O. Fan-ell, the secretary of the Pacific
Coast Bowing Association, there would soon be an aquatic
boom.

THE REGATTA AT SAUSAUTO.

The residents of Sausalito, as well as a large crowd of peo-
ple from Sau FraLcisco and Oakland, were afforded an oppor-
tunity to witness two of the closest and most exciting boat
races ever seen in the State of California on Thanksgiving
Day. Promptly at 2:30 p. m , the time annonnced for the re-
gatta to begin, Referee J Ross Jackson called the single scul-
lers to the starting potnt, and after a few remarks ordered
them to get ready. Com. C. H. Harrison being in oharge of
the cannon fired the shot and the boats shot away like a
flash.

Jackson, of ValUjo, went to the front and eclipsed all pre-
vious performances. At the wtske boat the scullers tnrned in
the following order: Ling, Jackson, Sullivan and Giowney.
Sullivan who bad been rowing a wailing race immediately
shot to the front and held the lead to the finish, winning the
race by a short length from Jackson.

Long finished third. Growney seeing no chance to win,
being poorly boated, consoled himself in waiting for the next
race, and his wisdom won toe good will of the rest of the craw.
Time, 10:15.

At 3:45, the time set for the last race, the little launch, the
Examiner, steamed up to the starting point and sigubled the
crews to get ready.

The Ariels having the choice of the positions, look the in-
side. No time baing lost in getting the crews into line the
gun was 6red at 3:52.

The Pioneer crew caught the water first and then began
the grandest struggle for supremacy ever witnessed in Sausa-
lito. Tbe ladies and gentlemen who held positions along tbe
banks cheered and oheered, until they became hoarse. The
race to the stake boat was nip and tuck, both boats turning
at the same timt; through good management and splendid
steering, the Pioneer crew gained a length. When within 100
yards of the finish, tbe Ariel crew put on a spurt and closed
up with their opponents.

The Ariels would inoBt unquestionably have won had not a
buoy been anchored directly in their course. Time, 10:15.

The prizes were for the single scull race, $40, $20 aud $10
respectively. For the f jur-oured shell race the prize was §80,
$20 to each man.

The majority of the oarsmen dislike the idea of holding a
regatta on Washington's Brthday, and efforts will be made
to hold it some Sunday in February.

C'LDB JOTTINGS.

For the first time since its organizations, the Golden Gate
Athletic Club failed to send a representative to compete in
the games at Berkeley on Thanksgiving Day. This siate of
affairs looks bad for tbe amateur branch of the club.

The members of the Pacific Athletic Clubmade an excellent
BhowiDg in the Olympic games. The club i* now out of ex-
istence, but all its good athletes will be identified with the
new club, which will be organized on Thursday eveuing,
December 12th. The Board of Directors considered that
there were too mmy tongh members in the clnb, aud came
to the conclusion that the only way to get rid of the objec-
tionable characters would be to have tbe present club dis-
band, and to re-organize on a more solid and wholesome
basis.

The promises made by the Directors of the California Ath-
lotic Club in regard to Harbor View Park, have ended in
smoke. The club has decided not to lease the park. Its
amateur members will now be worse off than ever.

It is high time that the P. C. A. A. A. was holding a meet-
ing. If tbe Association intends holding au in-door meeting
iu the pavilion in January, it should commence preparations
at once, aad issue the programme of games at the very earli-
est date.

The wet weather is interfering greatly with the work on the
new out-door grounds of the O. A, C.

A BENEFIT EXHIBITION.

About 1,500 persons, including many ladies, assembled in
the Mission Skating Rink on Tuesday evening, November
26th, to witness the benefit-exhibition of the Pacific Athletic
Club. Tbe exhibition will Det the club about $150, which
money will be used for re-organizing the club on a mure
Balid foundation. The exhibition itself was very interesting,
aud came very near ending with a "knock out" match.

The first event on tbe bill was a four-cornered Fet-to
between J. Kramer, J. McLaughlin, J. Regan and J. Mc-
Auliffo. The boxers were all amateurs, and the bouts were
both clever and interesting.

Charles and Fred Bogan and Thomas Moller aud H.
Woods next appeared in three round contests. The boxing
was lively, and a few good blows were struck.

T. Dudey and J. Sheehan gave an exhibition of wrestling
Sheehan was evidently out of form, and Dadey won tbe
match.

Professor Schwartz and T. Richler were the next pair to
step inBide the ropes. Both men are first class wrestlers and
the audience were highly pleased at their exhibition. Each
man won a fall.

Professor J, Hemme gave a fair performance on the slack
wire, and he was followed by J. Mack, H. Kehoe and T.
Sieves who proved to the people present that they could
tumble.

The next event was a pparring match between Joe Hes-
kelh and J. Sbtehan. The bo*t wan unusually good, both
men provin" themselves lo be the possesors of no little a
moatt of science. The audience were evidently disappoint-
ed because the men did not fight to a finish. It would ap-
pear that whenever Joe Hesketh enters the ring the crowd

becomes crazy to have him knock his man out. Some clever
feats in the horizontal bars were next performed by T. Balow
and Piofessor Hemme. The winding up event turned out to
be the most exciting one of the evening. It was a sparring,
or rather Blopging contest between M. Smith and Jake Mc-
Aaliffe. Smith was the larger and heavier man while Mc-
Auliffe was the quicker. Tne men went at it hammer and
tongts from the s .art each one trying to knock the other
out. At the end of the lourth round much to the disgust of
the on-lookers the referee Btopped the fight as he said the
club no longer sanctioned "knock outs."

OLYMPIC FIELD DAY.

A good showing was made by tbe athletes on Thanksgiving
Day.

Judging from the large audience present at the Berkeley
Campus on Thanksgiving Day to witness the annual Fall
games of the Olympic Athletic Club Amateur athletic sports
are beginning to creep into the favor of the people on the Pa-
cific Coast. The seats and grand stand surrounding the
track were packed with a fashionable and appreciative audi-
ence. ' At leaBt 3,000 people, half of whom were ladies, were
present. The track, live and a half laps to the mile, was in a
wretched condition, and at least ten seconds slow in a mile.
The arrangements to keep the orowd out of the enclosure
aud off thi< track were very faulty, and the spectators were
greatly incommoded on this account. When the boys
flocked into the, enclosure and all over the track without any
apparent qualm, and the genenl motto appeared to be,
"Each for himself" and the rest nowhere. The ladies who
occupied the seats were unable to get a look at any of the
competitors except occasionally when a long distance runner
would pass directly in front of them. Had tbe Marshals,
whose names appeared on the programme, attended properly
to their duty early in the day, the crowd would not have at-
tempted to cross the fence. The day was raw and cold and
not at all suitahle for fa6t time or good performances. The
handicapping was unasually good, and Captain Jordan de-
serves credit for his work. The Varsity boys carried several
of ihe prizes, while the Olympic Club members did not oarry
off as maDy medals as was expected. The following table
will tshow how the medals were divided:

First Medals. Second Medals.

Olympic Athletic Club 6 1

DDiVcrsity Atbleiic Olub 3 3

Acme Atbtetic Clnb 2

Pacific Athletic Olub 1 3

The Becond medal won by McGee, O. A. C. and U. C, and
tbe Hammersmith medals are not included in the above list.
Had John Purcell and Victor E. Schifferstein taken part in
the games the O. A. C. woirld c rtainly be credited with more
first prizes.
The following is an account of the different events:
100 yards novice race — Ray Gallagher. V C 1st; Thomas
Sullivan, O A C, 2nd. Time, 11 Bee. Won by two yardB;
second, third and fourth men all in a bunch.

One mile exhibition walk — James Jervis, O A C, 1st, Time,
7:31.

Mr. Jervis was entirely out of condition, and had the club
not prevailed upon him to make the effort, he would not have
attempted to lower the coast record of 7:10J. His stride was
short aud weak and any one who saw him walk at the last
championship games could easily te.l that he was not trained.
Taking his lack of form together with the bad Btate of the
track into condition, his performance was very creditable in-
deed, and with three or four weeks bard training Jervis
should get under seven minutes,

220 yards scratch race — 1st heat, E Mays, TJ C, 1st. Time
24A Bee. Won by four yardB.

Second heat— F WMcNear, U C, 1st. Time, 25i seconds.
Won easily by three yards. There was no fiual heat, the other
competitors forfeiting the race to Mays.

Throwing 121b hammer— J McKiunon, P A C, 10ft, 1st.
D'stance, 92ft llin.

The only other competitor W T Haberly could not come
within thin y feet of McKinnon's throw. Had Purcell, the
scratch man appeared, he would have been beaten by twenty
feet.

120 yards hurdle race— Jos Hooper. O A C, 1st; H C Moffit
TJ C, 2od. Time, 18 3-5 see. Won by five yards.

Half mile run— E C Hill, TJ C, 1st; E P Moody, P A C, 2nd.
Time 2:094 5.

This proved to be a very exciting race. The scratch man,
E C Hill, started off at a ratling pace, and soon began to over-
haul his men. Ou the last lap Hill and Moody were the only
two left. The finish between the two men waB splendid.
Moody who is a new man showed lots of grit and with care-
fnl practice may take a place at the championship games in
May.

120 yards run— 1st heat, N L Williams, O A C, 8 yds, 1st;
M L Espinoza, OAC, 10yds, 2nd. Time. 12 4 5 sec.

Second heat— E Mays. U C, scratch 1st; S V Cassidy, O A
C, l^yds, 2nd. Time, 12 4-5sec.

Third heat— Ray Gallagher, V C, 1st; Thos. Sullivan, O A
C, 11yds, 2nd. Time, 12 2-5see.

Final heat— N L Williams, OAC, lBt; Ray Gallagher, TJ C,
second. Time, 12 3-5sec.

Won by one foot. Same distance between second aud third.
Pole vault — H Germain Acme A C 7in, 1st; J Sheehan, P A
C 15in, 2nd; Hight. 8ft 3in.

Sheehan sprained hie ankle and so forfeited his chance of
getting first place.

Putting 161b. shot— W. T. Haberly, O. A. C, 8ft., first.
Distance, 27ft 7in.

The only other competitor in this event was C. C. John-
son, a young colored athlete who could do no better than 26
feet. The record in this case was wretched. The average
school-boy could beat either of the contestants.

One mile run — Frank L. Cooley, O. A. C. 10yds., first.
H. C. Cassidy. Pacific A. C, 25 yds, second. Time, 4:56.

Cooley, Cassidy and Espinosa kept well together until the
last lap, when E-pinosa dropped behind, leaving Cooley and
Cassidy to fight it out for first place. Cafisidy, who is a new
arrival on the Pacific Coast, surprised everybody, Cooley and
E-*piuosa iu particular, both of whom expected to shake him
off on the first lap Had Cassidy been in good condition, be
would have won tbe race hauds down. He will posBibly
knock spots out of the record on May 30th. Cooley made a
game fight, and it wa* ouly hU grit that won him the race.
He hrear-tert the tape about two feet in front of Cassidy, aud
was luudly applauded.

440 yards race (O. A. C. ODly). for Hammersmith me^al;
silver medal to second— W. A. McGee. first; A. 8. Hender-
Bon, second. Time, 55 seconds.

There was considerable interest taken in this race, as it was
buzzed abroad that Henderson was a dark horse. After the
race his friends claimed thf.t he was not trained properly, but
that on May 30th he would be heard from again.

Ranning, high jump— E. S. Dowelle, Acme A. C, 7in.,
first. H. C. Moflit, V. C , Bcratch, second. Height— Dow-
elle, 5ft 4in. Moffit, 5ft 8|in.

Moffit's jump beats the Pacific Coast record, but on account
of ihe ground not being level, the record was not allowed.
Moffit is a very pretty jumper, aud with more practice he
should clear 6ft. Dowdle is also a promisiug jumper, and
will take second prize at the championship meeting.

440 yards, Consolatiou, handicap— Frank O'Kane, O. A. C,
first. No time taken.

Although placed at scratch, O'Kane won without any
trouble.

Tin Cup Records-

The growing tendency to rctura by safe gradations to
longer distance races is touched upon by an incisive writer
to the Kentucky Stock Farm, who says:

In tbe article recently published in the Courier Journal, af-
ter criticising the racing associations of to*day for offering
purses for short distance races or dashes, it very truthfully
says: "Breeders themselves have come to deplore the meth-
ods which require Bpeed and nothing more." The statement
was made with reference to running raceB and the thorough-
bred, but is applica le in a considerable degree to the trotter
and certain methods now in vogue which, if maintained or al-
lowed to grow, will have a similar effect upon the harness
horse.

One method or practice followed very persistently in the
last two or three years, which will have its effects in this di-
rection, is the "tin cup method," or making standard animals
by trotting a single mile f r a cup. A glance at the records
of the past season will show that a great per cenlage of there-
curds obtained iu this manner was by an animal thet could
not trot a good race, and io many cases could not win a heat
in bIow classes to which they are usually eligible. We know
horses that trotted through an entire circuit of five meet-
ings and could never win a heat where 2:34J was the fastest
heat required to win in their class, and at the close of the cir-
cuit started aeainst time for a cup aud were given a record of
2:29i, by which they became standard and went do\*n on
the list with horses that won heats in contested races in the
same time. But the horses that defeated them iu every race
and that are far their superiors In everything required to con-
stitute a race horse, are still outside the standard line with
their record of 2:34£.

In nearly every cuse the stallion that becomes standard by
such a performance ie at once placed in the stud, and you
will usually find in hiB advertisement for public patronage
great stress placed upon his standard rank by performance.
Breeding and individuality being equal, no well posted aDd
experienced breeder would queBtiou tbe statement that the
horse with the record of 2:244; would sire a class of colts for
race horses far superior to the horse with the single mile cup
lecord of 2:29+;. But he is standard, and an indisoriminat-
ing public will patronize him in preference at a much higher
fee. Making standard horse6 out of rattle-heat, ed animals
that lack braiDB enough to trot in company, and horses that
are not game enough to go but one mile, is one of tbe prac-
tices which, if continued, will give ub a class of trotters with
' speed alone" and one that trottiug horse breeders will
come to deplore. We do not wish to be understood that
many game and reliable trotters have not become standard iu
a performance agaiDBt time; but we do sey that it is a reed by
which hundreds of almoBt worthless animals acquire stand-
ard renk, and in many cases take into tbe stud-book with
them a number of relatives naturally of the same character.

Any method or practice that does not tend toward improve-
ment in the gameness and racing qualities of the trotter in
future generatiuuB, should cot be tolerated, much less one
that has its tendency in the opposite direction; and every
worthless, rattle -hi aded. faint-hearted auimal that is al-
lowed to become standard by the cop process, will produce
a generation with inherent, objectionable qualities which
we should take every precaution not to perpetuate.

The trotter has not improved in gameness or ability to go
a long distance in proportion to the improvement in the rate
of speed, which shows that we should look to this as well
as the improvement in speed. We have, of late day, trotlers
with more speed than Huntress, but where is the one that
can carry it so great a distance? We have a great number
with a higher rate of speed than Lady Suffolk, but wbat one
has proven his campaigning qualities superior to hers ? The
brilliant record of Goldsmith Maid aB a campaigner refleots
more credit on Alexander's Abdallah as a sire (ban a score of
the class we usually And with tin-cup records of 2:29^ and
2:30.

Again, this class of peformances is of little or no interest
to tbe general public. The only exhibitious against time,
in which the public manifest any interest, are those to lower
any of the fastest records, and in such oases the slandard
rank of tbe performer is never at stake. Do away with the
tin-cup process and you will remove a method lhat reqoires
"sp6en alone" in the trotter — a method that makes it possi-
ble for hundreds of almost worthless animals to acquire un-
merited popnlarily, and one that trotting-horBe breeders
themselves will come ro deplore.

Grime Gossip.

Jim Douglass, tha erstwhile crack sprinter, u been driven
on the road by his present owper who resides in Denver, Col.

Kensett F , an eleven-year-old mare, reduced her record to
2:22*, and has since joined the trotting brigade in Germany.

Isaac Lewis the well known colored jock has signed to
ride again for Congressman Scott who was one of bis first
employers.

The owner of Kittv Van is prepared to mate a match for a
dasb of rive-eighths of a mile against any horse now in Cali-
fornia.

Trotting matches are acquiring a most unenviable reputa-
tion ou the Continent in consequence of the scandalous
scenes which have occurred at several of the recent races.

Chaos— the luoky Rayon d'Or colt- won three races out of
ten attempts and pulled down $63,550, while El_ Rio Rev
who won seven races— all he started in— captured $-17,520.

Jimmy Goldsmith heads the list of winning drivers in the
East this year with 27; bis nearest opponent is Charles
Green, with 19 victories; Knap McCarthy has U and Budd
Doble 12.

Henrv Walsh, the veteran Palo Alto trainer, bad a svere
attack o"f rheumatic gout. He removed the horBes under bis
care to Maytield a few days ago, and I am pleased to hear
that be is on the move again.

It has been frequently stated that the trotting mare Kate
Agnew was by Ben Franklin, but Mr. Cbristman sends word
to me that the mare is byCbristman's Hambletonian, a son
of Whipple's Hambletonian, the other pedigree being a mis-
take. .

The Hough Bros, bought Burlington the winner of tha
Pelht m Handicap at Jerome and the Criterion Stakes at Mon-
rrontb Park for $7000. Under Albert Cooper's care the two
jear old should develop into a speedy three year old in
the spring.

It is wfth pleasure we drew attention to the auction sale of
Cresswell Bros., who have in the past given every satisfaction
to both buyers and sellers. This time they have some ex-
ceptionally fine Standard bred horses and buggy horses for
sale.

N. S. Straube of Fresno has sold to It. N. Dunlap of Gales-
burg, 111., the promising yearling Anti-Medium by Milton
Medium, 2nd dam by Jack Hawkins. He has also sold to C.
F. Fargo of this city a pair of chestnut geldings, Dawn and
Copper, the price paid being $1,000.

James A. Dustin has sold bis fast Elector colt J. R., and B.
C. Holly will have the handling of him in the future. Mr.
and Mrs. Dustin will shortly start for the East to pay "the
old folks at home" a visit, bat Jim expect to be back in time
next season to meet the boys on the circuit.

The bad weather has caused postponement from day to
day of the Blood Horse meeting, and it is hard to tell when
the final races will be run off. Many of the horees have been
sent away from the track, but there are still enough left to
warrant good sport when the weather clears up.

One of the most prominent San Francisco bookmakers says
he does not object to having the horsemen put up jobs to
beat the books but he would like to see the plans carried out
in aa artistic manner, and not so palpable that even a China-
man sitting on a fence can see tbrongh the steal.

J. R. Ross, owner of Kitty Van and Sir Ladd, has lately
bought from the Owen Bros , of Fresno the fleet footed thor-
oughbred Oro, by Norfolk, dam Golden Gate by Leamington.
He is a good all round horse and should prove of great
value to biB new owner. The price paid is not stated.

As Spokane proved Buch a successful winner in 1889.
Mr. Armstrong has determined to send the dam Interpose
on to California this winter, and she will be bred in the
Bpring to Hyder All once more. The cross has been so good
before thut another the equal of Spokane may be looked for

James R Keene's stock farm npar Lexington is to be bro-
ken up at once, aod the stock, including the stallion
Spendthrift and Borne fifteen brood mares, the best known
of which are Kapaoga, the dam of Kingston, and Constanti-
nople, the dam of Dntoh Roller, were disposed of at auc-
tion yesterday.

A paper published in the Southern portion of the State, in
speaking of tho black horse Bryant W. sayB: "But it was in
rncea for gentlemen riders that the horse is best known.
Ridden by bis owner, Mr. Thos. H. Williams, he was the
victor iu many a hard contest, winning for hiB owner both
fame and fortune."

Frank De Poister, Dan Dennisun and Phil Siebenthaler have
taken their horses to Sacramento, weary with waiting for the
weather to ohar up. Dan says when the bell taps he will
he there though, bnt living \a toi high down here and he
had to pall out. There are Beveral more horsemen here who
would pull out if they could,

Mr. Saronel Bryant, of LouiBvtlle, has loaf by death a
yearling colt, J. M. White, own brother Come to Taw, dam
Hollie Seabrook. The famous mare Naphtha by EulipBt,
dam Echo by Lexington, owned by N. L. Harm, of tho
Huratbonrne stud, ia dead. Naphtha was noted hi the dam
of Explosion, the dam of Dnwdrop.

The cable tolls ub of tho great enthusiasm with which
Barnnm and bis show is rr< ■ iv<--l m Knglaud The trotting
and pacing matches in connection therewith are said to create
the greatest curiosity. These are conduoted by John Splan,
who look over a stable of trottem and pacers. If John givcH
the English some of his old-time driven and ekotrioal HniihtR,
Ihey will want to know more of the truly Anioric in product,
and the farther they investigate the more will tbnir admira-
tion inoreaae. Thu time ia coming when tho trotter will be
appreciated at his real value in oountrios outside of Am*>rioa,

A meeting of the members of Pacific Coa«t Trotting Hotfo
Breeders Association will be held at the Palace Hotel Satur-
day December 14. This will be the first annual meeting and
an election for officers for the eosueiog year will be held. AH
members who can possibly attend, should be present.

Roy Wilkes and Adonis are almost ready for a race and it
should not be a surprise if a match is made almost any day.
Californians are apt to believe Adonis invintable but they
will find Mr. Davis ready to pace three fast heats with his
horse, and it will take Adonis all his time to beat the Eastern
respresenlative. 5

W. M. Murrv has purchased from A. Gray Todd the rut-
ning horses Jes'sie O. by Bishop, dam JenuieC. by Norfolk and
Florin byWildidh, dam Frolic by Thunder. The puce as
given by Mr. Murry is $4,000. He also states that hereafter
Jessie C. will run as Princess Lexington, and that Florin's
name will be changed to Lord of the Harem.

The Kentucky Stock Farm Bays that the greatest three-
year-old campaigner of the year is Allerlon by Jay Bird.
California cannot get a show at any kind of a game in Ken-
tuckv, but we respectfully desire to call our contemporary's
mind for a moment to Mr. Salisbury's Margaret S. Look up
the records and see how shd stands as a campaigner.

Mr. A. B. Truman has had a streak of bad luck. His mare
Lottie by Nawry, dam by Bonnie Scotland, died laBt week
from a severe attack of colic. Mr. Trueman has a tine wean-
ling colt out of her by Christmas, which should recoup him
iu time for the loss of the mare who has only been owned by
him for about two years. She was in foal to Noonday.

An old English racing book eutitled "The Genealogy of the
English RaceHorse," published in London in 1S10, gives an
account of a high jumping contest which puts in the shade
the oerformances of Ontario aod Rosebery. The horse was
a geldiDg owned by Richard D'Arcy, and at the races of
Loughrea, Ireland is said to have jumped a stone wall seven
feet two inches.

James Corcoran, who has been training and driving horses
at Pelaluma for some time, will shortly remove to the Bay
District track where he will be prepared to take charge of
aoy colt or trotiers that owners may want to have prePflred
for tracks or road purposes. Mr. Corcoran will bring several
horses with him one of which is the green pacer Cyrus that
can show better that a 2:25 gait now.

Trotting is now greatly in vogue in Austria., as it has long
been in Russia, and the habitue of courses in the United
States would have felt qnite at home during a la'e row on a
Vienna track, and the attempted mobbing of an American
driver at Moscow, concerning the old question between losers
and winners as to the honesty of gait of the successful con-
testants.

A meeting was held at the B ddwin Hotel 1 ist Saturday by
several of the horse owners to determine what should be done
about two extra days' racing. When the meeting was called
it was then generally understood that no extra days would
be given by the Association, but since the owners held their
meeting the Blood Horse Directors have advertised that they
will give two extra days — if it e ver clears up.

Mr. Salisbury's grand old horFe Monroe Chief 2:18i, by
Jim Monroe 835, dam Madam Powell by Bay Chief son of
Mambiino Chief II etc., has of late been slightly neglect-
ed owning (o the grand performances of Director's colts, but
I have heard many flattering accounts of his colts from S m
Luis Obispo, Chico and other localities while three mares by
the old horse have produced trotters that have entered the
2:30 list this year.

The stock at Highland Farm, the property of W. C.
France, Lexiogton, Ky., is in fine condition. The stallions,
brrod mares colts and tilliee all seem to be doing well. Red
Wilkes's book is full at $300; Wilton's nearly full at $500,
the other horses doing well in proportion. The farm is kept
in admirable condition, and everything about it bears the
marks of fine oare and skillful management.

A couple of years ago C. D Ely purchased the colt by
Electioneer, dam Waxana, which waB foaled in 1SS5. After
Sanol made her record of 2:18 last year, Mr. Ely called hiB
colt Sunolo, and the horse'B services were in demand in the
neighborhood where he stood last season. It is now stated
that the owner of Sunolo put a price of $100 000 on his colt
when the sister made 2:10^, but has now withdrawn him
from market, and Sunolo is not for sale at aoy prioe.

E, C. Walker, of the Chicago Horseman, says the suoremt
teBt of a man is whether or not he will lend you his sulky ae
a trotting meeting when yonrs baa gone the way of good
sulkies at a hard turn. When Mr. Walker was driving bis
mare Miss Alice this summer, he would have lost a race
through an aocident to bis sulky but for the kindness
of the owner of the great stallion Nelson, who. without
having a cent on the mire, not orlyoxered his s-ilky but
helped to hitch the sporting writer's animal to it.

It is a very intereeiing tale that comes from the St. Louis
Pool Rooms: Little Eddie, a small, thin-faced boy, was figur-
ing on six bits. Should he have breakfast or attempt to
borrow two bits and play a dollar combination. Mr. Levy,
the courteous proprietor, advanced him half a dollar, and be
played his combination and went out to a 25-cent breakfast.
When the races were over, mirabile dicta, his combination,
$500 to SI, had won. 'Tis not often thus. The horses
were Sam Morse, Vigilan1. Glendale, Suitor and Hilda.

Hiram Howe, the well-known horseman, is dangerously ill
at his home near Gmveseud, L. I. For several months he
has been ailing and it is now stated that he may die any
time. Ho was driving when Hiram Woodruff and his con-
temporaries were at their best, and has driven some famous
horses, such as American Girl, George Wilkes and others
Bnt a few years ago he gave up driving races, and of Me his
Don ten ted himself with owning and driving two or three first-
rate roadsters and keeping a hotel.

A sale of thoroughbred and half-bred horses took place at
Buenoe Ayres on October 9th. The animals were the prop-
erty ot Mr. W. Kemniis. and they obtained the biggest aver-
age ever recorded. There were 35 lots sold, of whirl, 2S
were col's ami ltl fillies and thev realized a total of $305"-

by Phoenix, out of Blissful, sold for $13 500. It must be
said, bowevL-r, that the Argentine dollars are oulv worth
about fifty cents.

Mr. Robert Steele, of Philadelphia, is convinced that he has
one of the fastest stallions in the country, and next Bep.son he
will have Antevolo especially prepared for track purposes
and the California horse will be sent for a low record. Ante-
volo has already shown what stamina he has, and all residents
of this State will be pleased to hear of him making a low
mark,

As ihe stallion season approaches advertisements are in or-
der, and several have already been sent in for publication iu
the near future. Those who have good animals know that
the beBt way to reach the public is through the columns of
the Breeder, and Sportsman, where every man who owns a
good mare looks to see what horses are standing in publio
service. If you have a stallion write out your advertisemen,
and send it in for publication. It will pay yon.

The Eastern papers are talking about a match between
Stamboul and Phallas, but there are no grounds for the be-
lief that it will ever take place. If thrre ae any stallion own-
ers who want to make a match, a no'e diopped to Major Du
Bois, Pa'ace Hotel, City, will hod a gentleman ready to make
a race against any stallion in the country. Superior, 2:19j,
is the hoise Mr. Du Bois has, and although his record is not
as low as some, just post a deposit for a match and see how
quick the money will be covered.

The Missouri Horse Exchange, which has been struggling
under adverse circumstances, recently made an assignment
for the benefit of creditors to C. A. Windmueller. The as-
sets consist of a leasehold oo the corner of Broadway and
Chouteau avenue, and about $400 worth of personality. The
Exchange was organized for the purpose of having a cen-
tral and reliable place where horses and mul«s could be dis-
posed of at auction and otherwise, ard for a-vhile did con-
siderable business. The liabilities were not stated.

It is Dot often that I have to mention other sports outside
of racing in the gossip, but Manager Harris, of the California
Base Ball League, has taken a hand in horse matters, and it
is worthy of mentioD. On January 5th there will be a match
game of base ball at the Haight-Street grounds between eigh-
teen players, whose services have bpen promised by Manager
Hart, of the Boston B. B. Club. Mr. Harris will give the
grounds rent free, and the services of the players will be
gratuitous. The entire receipts will be given to the new
Board of Directors of the Blood Horse Association to found
a stake, which shall be cal'ed the California League Base Ball
Stake. It is supposed that if the members of the association
take the matter in hand and sell tickets, that at least $2,500
will be raised. This will be a large amonnt for one stake,
aud should bring to the post the very best horses in the
State.

The Kansas City Times, of last Snndav, savs that Mr.
RoM. Stewart sold Wnire Stockings to R. J. Holmes, of ttat
city, on Saturday for 820,000. "White Stockings was worked
on the track at Lexington this season and is well and favora-
\ ly known. He iB a horse without a pedigiee, but is said by
good judges to be one of the mostly stylishly gaited hcrse on
the track. Four years ago he was shipped to the horse and
mule yard with some Kansas horses aud was purchased by
Stewart, who worked him and broneht him down to a record
of 2:22 on the Kansas City jockey club tracks two years ago.
During the season of 1SSS he made his record of 2:16, which
he has not lowered. He is the most famous trotter without a
pedigree. His purchaser will use him for a roadster. White
Stocking appeared only in the grand circuit during the past
season, and has been a remarkably paying investment for
Stewart.

The following table shows Senator Hearst's winnings dur-
ing the past season: —

The stable also started Gloaming, Rhono, Baggage. Ana-
conda, and Goldeu Horn, winners of from $750 to $150, aod
Almont, Del Mar, Everglade, Gertrude, King Thomas, Not
Idle, Glen Echo and Question, who added nothing to the
treasury. The latter was so'd aud has since won for her
new owner, D. A. Honig. The eighteen horses wore their
owner's colors on eighty-six occasions, crossing the wire first
in twelve races, finishing second in thirteen, and third in
nine.

On Tuesday of last week William Bishop arrived in Bos-
ton with Mr. P. Lorillard's English stallion Sailor Prince.
The horse, in charge of the colored man Buck, who goes with
Mr. Bishop on all his voyages, was at once shipped to Ran-
cocas, where he now is. The horse reached these shores in
good condition, although he has lost one hundred pounds of
flesh ou the voyage. It is Mr. Bishop's policy to limit the
food allowances of his equiue charges when at sea, a system
which he claims works to advantage.

Sailor Prince is a powerfully built bay, with blacklegs,
looking much like the stallion Glenelg. He stands folly IG '.
hands high, with a good neck, back and middle piece, while
his legs are clean as a whistle end well put under him. Al-
together, Sailor Prince, with bis splendid breeding and many
good performances ou the English turf, looks like a decided
acquisition to our blooded fami'ies.

He is nine years old, by Albert Victor, |dam Hermita, by
Hermit, etc.

The New York Sportsman pays the following deserving
tribute to an old time horseman:

It ia with regret aud a feeliDg of deep sympathy for his be-
reaved relatives that we learn that another of the old school
of hr rsemen has been oalled away. Mr. John Peasley, a
native of New Hampshire, but for the past thirty-seven years
a resident of Sacramento, Cab, passei away, at the ripe old
age of eighty, on Nov. lGth For some years Mr. Peasley was
proprietor nt the Merchants* Hotel, and Bubseqneutly of thi
What Cheer Hotel ou Front street, S:ieramento, a noted car-
avansary in early days. He was one of the organizers of the
State Board of Agriculture, and a life member. Deceased
was a very prominent citizen in the early "fifties," and was
among the foremost in all publio enterprises and movements.
Hh took great interest in the breeding of tine stock, and
owned the ancestors of the horse Tecumseh, so well-known
in tint vicinity. I shall ever remember meeting this amiable
old gentleman upon my first visit to the Sunny Slope, and
tin earlv history of the conulry he gave me, lhat appertain-
ing to 1 lie breeding of hordes naturally interested me most,
and I venture to Buy that there never was one bred^ in that
country of any note, but what he could give the correct pedi-
gree of as far back as it was known.

ble notices of whelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths-
In their kennels, in all instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

Discursive.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The semi-occasional
desire tc sena you an item or two has again prompted me to
address you aud to say tirst that if anybody has a more old-
fashioned four months poiuter pop than mine by Mr. William
Bchreiber's steady old Mountain Boy and ont of my old
Beautiful Qaeen, I would like to see it.

I think she will get there, aud regret that there is none
other of the litter alive.

I also have a beautiful white and lemon pointer puppy by
Senator Pioder's Scout Croxtefcb out of George W. Bassford's
Blossom. He is a Joe Dandy. Senator Pinder has one of
the same litter and these two are now matched to run a priv-
ate race during our field trialB of '91.

By the way, I think it time the Executive Committee of
our Trial Club v. as beginning to move in the matter of select-
ing judges, securing reduced fares, etc. The judgeB should
be selected immediately.

With some friends I had a fine time in Capay Valley re-
cently. Camped out just eight days. Plenty of birds, plenty
of cooks, plenty of everything. including rain on the last day,
which Bent us home, or we might be there yet. We ran a
very nice field trial lasting two days. It was quite exciting at
the wind-up.

One meal I remember I was cook and broiled tbirty-t wo quails.
They disappeared with the rapidity for which a Capay Val
ley quail is noted. I really thiuk if I could have stayed one
week more I Bhould have grown fat. Henry BasBlurd im-
proved some while in camp. H. Bjyce fell off a little. T. H,
Buckingham held his own, and Charley Reams gained fast.
George Bas=ford was able to sit up and eat all the lime there
was anything cooked, but somehow he didn't sleep well. J.
Hughes was a good second to George.

Well, I will be at Bakersfield on January 20th, and hope
you h.ive an entry in the aged stake, so we cao come togeth-
er again. I would like to run you jast one more heat before
the boiling oil and melted lead time comes. Urge a general
attendance at the field trials and let us have a big friendly
pow-wow.

J. M. Bassford, Jr.

Vacaville. Dec. 3rd, 1889.

[Mr. Bassford's kindly wishes are fully reciprocated, and
we are one with him in wishing an opportunity for a race,
owners to handle. One of the moBt enjoyable field trial in-
cidents we can recall was a race with Mr. Bassford seven or
eight years ago, when our fat old red Belle aod his obese old
Beautiful Queen waddled about a lot of brush at Walltown
Timber. Belle would not mind and Queen did not choose to*
Both would disappear at intervals to return after a season
with sneaky eyeB, which told as plainly as could be that they
had been chasing rabbits. Onoe in a while we would ask
Mr. Bassford if he knew where our dog was, and Mr. B.
would range off looking for her just as kindly. If Qaeen had
not beaten Belle we should have won that race, but in our
defeat we had one consolation which was that it was purely
a race of dog against dog. Our compeiing handler was as
fair as could be, and when his beast won the congratulations
were sincere. If field trials had more raced between owners
there would be more fun. — Ed. J*

The Eastern Field Trials Club's Eleventh An-
nual Meeting:-

Mr. E. T. Vandevort left for South America on Tuesday
last, to be gone for five or six months. He . was in good
health and spirits, but regretted the engagement which com-
pels his absence from the field trials. He -goes to examine
some mines owned by a brother. We wish him success and
a quick return.

The officers of the Field Trials Club should at once select
and announoe the judges. But sis weeks ittervene to the
trials, and some of the gentlemen at first selected may be un-
able to serve, necessitating application to others.

Judge C. N. Post and Mr. George W. Watson ownersof the
California Kennel at Sacramento visited San Francisco last
week and Bpent part of a day at Mr. De Mott's Kennels near
San Rafael, where they have several of their Btud of Bplendid
English setters. They were accompanied by Mr. R-. E. Auer-
bach of Oakland and Doctor F. A. Durant Medical Superin-
tendent of San Quentin penitentiary. The dogs were found to
bein good condhionand a grander iotit would be hard to find.
None but "'boarders" are in hand at present, those for
"breaking" being in Kern County with Mr. De Mott.

The coming field trials afford matter for unending specula-
tion since the publication of the Derby entries last week. A
finer lot of English setters never appeared than those entered^
and the pointers are not far behind, if any. The Bassford
string includes severul Point— Blossoms, which are reported
to be hustling about like winners. Mr. George Crocker's red
setters are reputed exceedingly fast and tasty. Altogether, it
is anybody's race, with chances in favor of somebody else.
The inauiries about the triaU demonstrate their popularity,
and it is gratifying to note that many first-rate sportsmen
who have not been present in former years, will attend at
Bakersfield on January 20th. It is not improbable that Mr.
Crocker will be accompanied by a liberal support from the
Pacifio Uoion Club; indeed, Mr. Austin Tubbs, Mr. John M.
Adams and Mr. Ramon E. Wilsou have already decided to
go. The California Kennel Club will Bend down a numter
of admirers of Mr. Truman's dogs. The Stockton sportsmen,
Mr. Haas, Mr. Sperry, Mr. Dunham, Mr. Lane and others,
can alwrys be relied upon to support a good thing, and as
Mr. Sperry is to run a tine pointer, he will probably invite a
lot of friends to 86e his debut as a handler. Private parties
are forming in other sections for field trial week, so that it is
certain that Bakersfield will entertain a large and thoroughly
representative company, and that those who do go will have
the rarest of sport.

The Eastern Field Trials Club's Ninth Derby was started
on November IS, on the Club's grounds at High Point, N.
C, according to programme.

While the stake was a small one as compared with some
previous stakes, it having but fourteen starters, the quality
of the dogs as a whole was much higher than the average,
and there were some particularly fine performerB. Rowdy
Rod, the winner, i'b a son of Roderigo, this being the third
successive year that Koderigo's get have won tbe Derby, the
two other ones being Joey B aud Oilaudo. He is a very su-
peiior puppy in ranging aud performance on birds.

Rip Rap, the pointer which won second, is the best one
that has run in many a year, and it is doubtful whether his
tqual exists in this country, in all the requirements that go
to make a field dog. He is a wide ranger, maintains a fast,
uniform rate of speed, uses his noBe skillfully, haB very su-
perior stjle, and takes cover as pluckily as a setter. He is
fonder of hunting bevies than single birds, which is not a
common characteristic of pointers.

Nannie B will be remembered as the winner of second in
the Indiana Kennel Club's Setter Derby this year. She did
some very nard running, and showed herself to be a puppy
of a gr<=at deal of merit.

The judging was excellently well done thoronghout. The
judges gave the dogs a very evenly balanced test, both as to
pointing and finding. Nearly all judges in the past have fal-
len into the error of ctasele^s hunting on scattered birds,
whether they were found by dogs or by the spectators. Fre-
quently bevies are flushed by the spectators and then, in the
past, there was a rush, a scramble, hustling of dogs, and the
fate of a dog seemed to hang on whether he got the first
point or not. The fact was overlooked that the dog*B abili-
ties to point single birds could be quite accurately de termined
after beeing him point two or three single birds. Generally
in a short heat, the number of points one dog gets ovtr an-
other on scattered birds is largely a matter of luck; but
whether one dog excels another in his ability to point can be
determined irrespective of the comparative number of points.
Also in ordinary shooting there are no spectators to flash
birds; and taking two dogs on a marked bevy is absolutely
no test of finding qualities required in field work. It is a
very simple matter to determine a dog's capabilities on scat-
tered birds, but it is not so easy to test his finding qualities,
a part that heretofore has bean greatly ignored. All these
important particulars were considered in judging the Derby,
hence there was a more comprehensive and accurate trial and
more precibion in the decisions. The old-time scrambling
for which could get the quickest to some bird which was
marked down, was not practiced. Un il a dog's abilities to
find birds, his range and ''bird sense" are considered by
clnbs, there will be no general accuracj7 in field trial judging.
The judges were Messrs. F. R. Hitchcuck, H. B. Duryea
and W. Tallman. Mr. J. R. Henricks, who was to judge
throughout the stakes, was unable to act, owing to illness.

The grounds of the Club are unsatisfactory in many par-
ticulars. There is too great a proportion of cover and a
great deal of it is too thick and heavy. The grounds are also
very hilly and ridgy, thuB making it veiy difficult to watch
the work of the dogs and to test their finding qualtties. It is
very difficult on such grounds to avoid makiug a trial simply
a test on scattered birds. Realizing this fact, the Club ap-
pointed MeBsrs. Breese, Duryea and Coster a committee on
grounds, and probably by another year High Point will be
abandoned as a field trial center. There are also a great
many features of a local nature which are very disagreeable.
Every landholder, for miles about, has come to look upon
the visiting sportsmen as, legal prey, and it is qnite impjfsi-
bletohunton any lands without generous prepayment in
the coin of the realm; in its absence, the order to m,ove on is
not after the mildest manntr. The town itself has an air
that seems to indicate proprietorship. The genial good will
and welcome of years past seems to have given way to hun-
ger for the almighty dollar.

The annual meeting of the Eastern Field Trials Club was
held on the evening of November 23. It was carried that
the next annual trials be held on the third Monday of No-
vember.

It was carried that a committee be appointed to select snit-
sble grounds other than those used at High Point. Messrs.
Breese, Cochran. Coster, Duryea and Lorillard were appoint-
ed. It Wris carried that it was the sense of the meeting that
the spotting system be adopted by the Club, aud that a com-
mittee of three be appointed to revise the rules in conformity
with said system, and report the same to the Club. Messrs.
J. Otto Donner, F. R. Hitchcock and H, B. Duryea were ap-
pointed on said committee.

It was decided that the pointer stake be abolished.
The judgeB placed Nannie B third and HarrY C fourth.

THE ALL-AGE SETTER STAKE.

There were nineteen starters in this stake. The quality
of the running was mixed, Borne of it very good,
some poor. The judges were Messrs. F. K. Hitchcock, P.
Lorillard and W. Tallmao.

The winners are well known. There was a great deal of
interest in the stake, and some small sums of money changed
hands on the result. The judging did not give as good
satisfaction as that in the Derby.

Pacific Kennel Club.

A called meeting of the club was held at the office of the
president, Ramon E. Wilson, 419 California St., on Tuesday
evening last. Present — Messrs. Wilson, Schreiber, Haight,
Carroll, Kittle, Watson and Briggs.

Mr. James E. Watson tendered his resignation as secre-
tary and Treasurer Mr. Clarence A. Haight was elected secre-
tary and Mr. Will S. Kittle, treasurer. The club then ad-
journed for one month.

Coursing at Grass Valley.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman; — Having formed a cours-
ing club here for the promotion of true open air sport, and not
having any laws at hand, I took the liberty to write you this
letter, thinking yon could give us some information in regard
to the laws governing hare and greyhounds, or refer us to
some one that has them. Any information will be thank-
fully received. I was talking with Mr. Fletcher, and he
referred me to you. I am the person who wrestled with Mrs.
Kodda Cornish Btyle at the Olympic Club.

K. R. DUNSTAN.

[It is an especial pleasure to learn that the sportsmen of
Grass Valley are going in for coursing. They are game at
any proposition, and will undoubtedly establish supremacy
in their latest lore as they have at rifle, trap and field shoot-
ing. The rales are gladly sent, and we Bhall be very pleased
to receive notes of the progress of the club— Ed ]

Mr. Ward McAllister, Jr., has recovered the cocker spaniel,
loss of which was mentioned last week.

Any who desire to engage accommodations, lodgings, wag-
onB or saddle horses in advance may do so by addressing the
8eoretary of the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club, at313BuBh
street, San Francisco. A reduced rate of fare will undoubt-
edly be granted by the Southern Paoiric Railway Company,
which always fosters such interests, and those who desire re-
duced rate certificates should write the Secretary.

Mr. George T. Allender goes to Bakerabeld about Dec. 10th
with hia Held trial string. He has some tine oneB this year,
includiug Mr. A. B. Truman's pointer bitch, Champion Patti
Croxtetb T. and the California Kennels English setter, Salina.
Mr. Allender is proverbially cloBe-monthed but we learn
from a friend that his dogs are even better this year than
heretofore.

The meet of the Valley Hunt Club at Alhambra on Thanks-
giving was one of the events of the season. The day was
lino and every condition favorable to a most enjoyable day of
Bport, says entertaining Lob AnpeleH Life. Someone hun-
dred and fifty to two hundred ladies and gentlemeD were
mounted, and it wub seen at the early hour of half past six
o'clock that th'-* day would be a Bacri'sa. Dr. Ward D. Row-
land was niamer of the honnds, and he handled his horse-
men well. At II o'clock the party rounded up at Alhambra
and the beautiful little town has not Been so much life for a
long time. The fox chase wuh short but exciting. Col Otis
of the Timea was in at the death. Ovur five hundred people
turned cut to witness the days' doing. After the bunt the
parly went back to the Hotel Alhambra to partake of turkey
and many stayed long into the evening and made the protty
little hotel resound with song ami conversation. The day
was pronounced a complete success by nil, and will he long
remembered as one of the gala dayH of the San G; hriel Val-
ley. Mr. F. J. Crank, proprietor of the Hotel Alhambra, did
hia share in contributing to the eorufortaud enjoyment of
hia guests, and received their hearty thanks.

Occidental Coursing Club Fall Meeting.

The Fall meeting of the club was run off at Ocean View on
Thanksgiving Day, November 28th last, the event being an
all-aged stake for sixteen greyhounds at $10 each. Prizes,
winner $70 and crayon portrait, value $30; Runner-up, $40
and silver cup; winners of two courses, $20 each.

The officers of the day were: Field Stewards— S. L Ab-
bot, Jr., H. E. Deane and J. F. Carroll; Slip Steward— S.
O. Gregory; Flag Steward— H. Boyd; Judge— J. R. Dickson;
Slipper — James WreD.

The day was illy suited for the sport, being muggy and
threatening to rain, but Borne three or four hundred pe.ple
gathered at Canavau's snug hostelry at 11 o'clock, the ap-
pointed hour, and spent a half hour in social greetings.

When the dogs were ordered to ulips it appeared that five
of the entries were absent, all of them in the hands of a gen-
tleman known to be as keen and enthasiastic as any man
could be.

The only conclusion to be drawn was that some unavoid-
able accident had hindered his meeting his train, and after
consultation among the owners of the other entries it was
decided to run off the braces which were present and con-
tinue the card when the absent dogs should arrive. Such a
proceeding was nnuBual, and quite in contravention of the
rules, but the alternative was a grave one, either to rnn the
oard and bar the absentees, thereby failing to keep faith with
the large company of spectators, or to wait for the dogs and
give thein a chance. The action taten cannot stand as a
precedent, but was a wise one. The absent dogs arrived at
about 2 o'clock and the card was regularly run off.

The dogs were very good, and the hares fairly strong, but
the place reserved for spectators was badly chosen. A deep
gully traversed the ground, ae well as a swale, and while the
running was done in either the work could not be seen. The
proper place for spectators is at the foot of the slope. A high
cloBe fence should be erected along the county road and a
grand Btand erected about midway of the length of the park.
Then all of the coursing could be Been and the tedious hill
climbing avoided.

The slipping was well done, and courses followed in quick
succession. No unpleasantness marred the day, and the
large number of ladies present enjoyed every detail of the
sport heartily.

The winner, Midnight, is a medium weight handsome dog.
a sharp one from slips, and very clever, working closely.

Benelon II, the runner up, is as good as the winner, ex-
cept that he goes a little wider. There was scant choice be-
tween them.

The two course dogs, Dark Rustio and Irish Boy, are rush-
ers, and lost on every wrench. Both are uncommonly pow-
erful and are speedy, but not so clever as the dogs placed
over them. An account of the coursing by braces is out of
the question, for the reason that the work could not be seen
to advantage, and we must be content to present a summary.
President Gregory and the officers of the day were successful
in keeping everybody in good humor, aud in presenting a
successful day of Bport.

We are indebted to our brilliant contemporary The Ameri-
can Field, for the abstract of an account of the Eastern
Field Trials Club Trials.

The election of Mr. C. A. Haight to the secretaryship, and
Mr. W. S. Kiltie to the treasurership, of the Pacific KeDnel
Club, we hope marks an era in the life of the club. The new
officers are thoroughly en rapport with the "doggy" men of
the state and are of the highest^standing and connections.

Wherever known, they are most favorably regarded, both
personally and as business men. They have do personal
piques to gratify, and may be relied upon to labor for the
advancement of the interests of the club, without being ham-
pered by little prejudices or ly narrow views. They will at
once begin an active campaign in behalf of the club, and we
hope will meet such spirited support that a very few weeks
will suffice to remove all embarrassments and entirely re-
habilitate the excellent institution. One suggeption is offered)
viz: that the members of the California Kennel Club join the
Pacjfic Kennal Club. There is no reason for twro clubs. The
Pacific Kennel Club has the ground covered, and as the Cali-
fornia KeDnel Club does not give shows at preseDt, its mem-
bers really have do reasoo for maintaining it. A large nuni-
ber of gentlemen who fancy dogs do not belong fo the
Pacific Kennel Club, and such should at once apply for mem-
bership.

An Eastern Horse Market.

We come to an open space crowded with people and hor-
ses, which our bost informs us is the public horse market
of Damascus. Here we see various men riding up aud down
on horses which have been committed to their charge to sell,
shonting the last bid which has been offered to them. They
seem to fetch very low prices. Several good horses we see
sold for leBB than £10 each. One specially fine-looking ani-
mal is "knocked down" for £15. Bnt the business is not
finished. A long dispute immediately ensues between the
intending purchaser and the owner, the former attempting
to obtain the horse for a few pirdtves less than the stimula-
ted amount. There is an innate love of tprgaining in a true
Oriental. He never can do w4thont it. In this case the
owner Beems to feel pretty sure of obtaining a good price for
his horse, even if the present man should back out. So he
remains silent, with an occasional inconsequent remark, such
as:

"It matters not!" "Wallah, who am I to argue with tbee?"
"Wallab, my horse is as dust! Take it without money!"
All of which expressions are equivalent to cold negati/es,
and naturally exasperate the other man, who is wasting
oceanB of rhetoric in the attempt to induce him to come
round to his own way of thinking. Finally the latter ex-
elaims with a heart-warming show of generosity and philan-
thropy, "Wallah, are we not brothers? Wherefore all this
Doise? Is it for money ? May Allah forbid . You want 1600
piastres? Here is I he money. Take it,*' and here he presses
the bag of treasure into the other odb's haods and makes as
if he were going to turn away. "Never mind about your
horse; I care not for it. Shall we part enemies because of
money?" Bnt here the other, who now has his money se-
cure, runs after him, falls on his neck, and, kissing him on
both cheeks, assures him that his horse to him is worthless;
that since his brother wishes for it he must have it — as a
present. And then they repair, in company with the "dal-
lal," or the man who has done the auctioneering part of sell-
ing the horse, to the Government office close by, where the
affair is registered and legally settled. Oriental basiness
ways appear passing strange to our minds — Murray's 1

A New Method of Treating Disease.
Hospital KemetficN.

What are they? There is a new departure in the treat-
ment of disease. It consists in the collection of the specifics
used by noted specialists of Europe and America, and bring-
ing them within the reach of alii For instance, the treat-
ment pursued by special physicians who treat indigestion,
stomach and liver troublfs only, was obtained and prepared.
The treatment of other physicians, celebrated for curing
catarrh was procurred, end so on till these incomparable
cures now include disease of the lungs, kidneys, female
weakness, rheumatism and nervous debility.

This new remedy of "one remedy for one disease" must
appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom
have experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly realize the
absurdity of the claims of Patent Medicines which are guar-
anteed to cure every ill out of a single bottle, aud the use of
which, as statistics prove, has roinkd more stomachs than
alcohol. A ciicolar describing these new remedies is bod t
free on receipt of stamp to pay postage by Hospital Remedy
Company, Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors. "

THE GUN.

A Lady Shooter's Misfortunes.

Ohl a lady she went shooting. O!

The men, they all said "here's a show!

How funny 'tis to sue each sights

As ladies with guns, big boots and tight.-!"

So Frank and N*d took off their hats,
Congratulated young Miss Flats
Upon her courage, looks, and gun.
And promised her no end of fun.

They hoped the day begun so fine
Continue would, till time to din*»,
And other little talk, called small,
Took place before they left the hall.

The keeper comes, they make a start.
And luncheon follows in the cart.
They beat the stubbles, roots aud seed;
Miss Flats is taken bad, nor heeds.

But onward goes, afield or two.
Then, feeling faint, looks ralber blue.
Says: "Oentlemen, to tell you true,
I'm very tired, and must leavo you."

Said Frank to Ned. "Something sudden, I think."
"No doubt," says Ned with.a knowing wink,
And to himself exclaims: —
••Can't understand these shooting damesl"

Another day, the three go out,

"Wishing better sport ami luck;
And hoping that another bout.

Wouldn't occur to the litle duck.

And last, up jumped a splendid hare,

Miss ought to have knocked over;
But the keeper he was heard to swear:

"Bedad! she's shot old_Rover."

Then, blank despair, their spirits seize,

As Rover howls with pain;
And Miss says "Oh! my q's and p's!
I'll never shoot acain.

Bnt tempted, yet again she goes

To try her hand once more,
Down where the reedy river flows,

"When Bhe sees some wildfowl, four.

Miss fired at one, and winged, it fell.

Across a brooklet small,
And though she knew the place quite well.

She had an awkward fall.

To Frank and Ned she cried aloud:

"Do you look after Rover!"
To that they said: ''We shall be proud,"

(She'd lost her dress improver).

In jumping o'er the brook it fell,

And quick flew down the stream.
"Ob, dear!" she sighed, "I do repentl"

Then uttered forth a scream, •

As right-and-left both men they fired,

At what they thought &n otter;
But they missed their mark, tbey were so tired,

And homeward they did poller.

Arrived at home, they took sloe gin,

And then th^y missed old Rover;
"When, suddenly, he bounces in

With Miss Flat's dress improver!

Then Frank and Ned they both declared,

TJngallant itmight be;
But never more if they were epared

Again such sigliU they'd see.

Ned says to Frank: "Before we dine

We'll quote a Latin line:
Ingennas didicisBe ndeUter artes emollit

Mores nee sinit esse feros."

Which construed means: Ladies, attend to domestic dnties,
give np shooting, and don't be cross.

Jurors in Game Law Cases-

The Breeder and Sportsman has endeavored to impress
upon the advocates and supporters of the game law the ini_
portanoe, not to say the necessity of exercising vigilance in
the detection and prosecution of offenders of the law in this
State. Fresh and strong reason for repeating and urging
this course has been recently made conspicuously manifest
by the action of the Court in the Napa case against the Saw-
yer Tanning Company, charged with the possession of skins
of does and fawns, in clear violation of the law, and in the
Sacramento case of similar character, in which the jury failed
to'agree.

The case against the Napa Tanning Company was tried by
the justice, without a jury. The possession of the unlawful
Bkins was clearly proved, but on 'a technicality which har-
bored a doubt, the judge gave the defendant the benebt of
this shadowy doubt and ordered a discharge. In the Sacra-
mento case against John Blair, of the 6rm of W. R. Knight
& Co., Justice Devine presided, and a jury of twelve men
was empanelled. The facts as charged in the complaint were
proved beyond leasonable doubt. The charge of the Court
to the jury was plain and direct, as to the law and the evi-
dence- It was to the effect that no other than a verdict of
guilty could be properly returned. Notwithstanding this,
the jury disagreed and the case must again be tried. :It has
been ascertained that the jury stood two for conviction, ten
for acquittal. Yet all the jurors went into the box under
solemn oath to return a verdict in accordance with the facts,
the law and the evidence.

An intimation of the real sentiments of the ten recreant
jurors was revealed in the endeavor to select the jury. S,
Paska, summoned as a juror, on examination avowed that he
had a prejudice against the game law, as he was in Sonoma
County once when a man was arrested for having in his
poasesBion the skin of a doe. Whether the man was himself
or another was not elicited. .Paska flatly declared that

he would not vote to convict a man under the law, even if
the evidence was clear against him.

James Miller, another summoned to serve as a juror, had
been a member of the State Legislature. He declared that
he was opposed to all such laws as the game law;, therefore
he would not vote to convict under any circumstances. These
two were, very naturally, excused from serving on the jury.
It would be interesting to learn whether some of the jurors
who were empanelled had acted with similar candor as to
their prejudices and sentiments whether they entertained
similar prejudices and sentiments as avowed by Paska and
Miller, and suppressed the admission to such effect, in order
to get upon the jury in the interest of the defendant, so as
to prevent conviction, if they could not secure acquittal.

The defendant failing in the effort to disprove the charge
set up the plea of ignorance of the law. The Court in-
structed the jury that ignorance of the law was no excuse as
all citizen3 are presumed to know the law. Against this in-
struction the counsel for the offence strenuously protested-
The Court thereupon more emphatically reiterated the in-
struction. The charge against the defendant had been
clearly proven — it simply remained for the jury to return the
verdict of conviction. To this, as has been Btated, ten of the
jurors proved recreant, and after an hour or more of disagree-
ment the jury was discharged. The District Attorney has
declared his determination to press the case to a definite con-
clusion, for which he merits the commendaliou of good and
law-abiding citizens.

The opportunity ought not to be neglected by the sports-
man's clubs of the State in the Sacramento case, and in ev^ry
other case ot violation of the game law which shall occur, to
use due vigilance in vindication of the laws for the just pun.
ishment of offenders and the protection of game. Care is es-
gential, as has been evidenced in the Saciamenlo case, in the
selection of juries. A single juror, with a prejudice like that
of Poska, or with sentiments akin to Miller's, will defeat the
conviotion of the most guilty offender. No person of the
kind should be allowed to sit as a juror in any game law
case. Committed to the care of a just jadge and an honest
jury, the game law can be duly enforced, and its violations
will be Btopped, in flagrant instances ot all events. This is
what is needed, and it can be easily provided for by the
clubs and citizens generally. It is to the interest of all to
see that the law shall be obeyed, in protection of the game,
in order that it may be fairly enjoyed by the generations
which exist and shall be preserved to the enjoyment of the
generations to succeed. Neglect of this duty is virtually to
permit the destruction of the game. There ;is no mistaking
the issue or the consequence.

Thanksgiving Day at Lathrop was notable because of a

Sutherland and Meyer were of the Lathrop Club; the others
all came from Stockton.

The first match was at 15 single live birds, Hurlingham

Slaughter of Deer for Skins.

The Dixon Tribune is authority for this: A Solano man,
spent the fall months in Del Norte County, is said to have
killed 200 deer during bis stay. Such indiscriminateslaugh-
ter will in a few years exterminate this noblest of game.
There are many hunters in that section of the country who
slaughter hundreds of deer in a year for their hides only
leaving the carcasses to rot.

Champion Henry A. Bassford.

A match for the championship of Central California and
the Standard Challenge Medal representing that title, was Bet
for Thanksgiving Day at San Jose. The medal was won at
San Jose in October by Mr. H. A. Bassford, who had won it
once before. He was challenged for it by Major S. I. Kel-
logg, and Mr. Bassford won it the third time.

Immediately after the conclusion of the match, Major Kel-
logg again challenged for the trophy, and Mr. Bassford again
won it, making four wins and the medal Mb personal proper-
ty, together with the title Champion Shot of Central Califor-
nia.

Mr. Bassford'6 Bhooting was snperb in both matches and
stamps him the peer of any man at Blue Bock Targets. He
was in hot company, warmer in the last match than before,
Mr. H. Coykendall roiling up 93 breaks against 94, the win-
ning score.

Mr. F. E. Coykendall was off in his work, getting but 85.
In the first match Major Kellogg was low man, but in the
other went up to 91, high enough to win usually.

Mr. Anderson's score would have won the medal under or-
dinary circumstances.

The visitors were royally treated by the San Jose sports-
men and had a delightful day's sport.

The Futurity Trotting Stake.

There seems to be no let up in the interest displayed
"by the breeders throughout California in regard to the
$3,000 gmaranteed Futuriiy Stake, instituted by the
Breeder and Sportsman for trotting foals of 1890.
From all sections of the State inquiries are constantly
pouring in, and already a large number of nominations
have been made. Breeders are beginning to realize that
it is not necessary to have a mammoth stock farm before
first-class animals can be raised, but that the owner of a
single good mare has an opportunity to compete, and
often successfully, with the trotters that are turned out
iu scores from the more extensive farms. As a case in
point, Mr. Salisbury had a single nomination in the
"Spirit" Futurity Stake, which was trotted for this year,
and although the race was trotted at Cleveland, he was
plucky enough to take Margaret S baok East and beat
the crack three year olds which were pitted against her.
By so doing he not only won a large aum of money, but
added fame to the Pleasanton Stock Farm and its repre-
sentative stallion. It is possible that the same thing may
occur in the Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake.
Some one with only a single entry may carry off the
rich prize and enhance the value of the colt many times.
The stake is the inost liberal that has ever been offered to
the breeders of California, and from present prospects
will amount to much more than the aum guaranteed.

Nominations close on or before January 1, 1890, and
are for mares covered in 1889. Subscriptions are pay-
able as follows: $10 on January 1, 1890, when noinina
tioua close; $10 August 1, 1890, §10 January 1, 1891,
$10 January 1, 1892, $10 January 1, 1893, and $.50 for
starters, payable July 1, 1893.

Race to be mile heats three in five in harness; to be
trotted on a course in California offering the largest
amount of added money. Race to be governed by the
Rules of the Asbociatiou of which the selected track is a
member. Nominators not making all payments forfeit
former ones, and tho entire amount of forfeits and pay-
ments, together with added money, will be dividsd as
follows: 66 per cent, to firut horse, 20 per cent, to sec-
ond horse, \'> to third horse.

Nominators whose mares prove not to be in foal will
bo refunded the amounts paid upon furnishing a written
gtatemeut to that effect before August 1 1890.

In nominating, give name of mare and stallion to
whom she is bred, and within 00 days after foaling for-

ard description of foal.

A prominent feature which all breeders should bear in
mind is the fact that whero colt* and fillies are sold thy
value is alwayB greater when they are entered in utak. h
like the above, and a bettor market can always be had
for them. The time for nominations to close ia noar at

• ft

hand, and those who have not as yet received entry
blanks should send to the Breeder and Sportsman for
them at once.

The Occident Stake.

The Occident Stake has always produced a great deal
of rivalry among the breeders of California, in fact ia
almost a blue ribbon event, the entries being large, and
the horses of the very best. The advertisement for the
1892 stake appears in another column, and should com-
mand the attention of every breeder in the State. The
walk over for the Occident Stake this year will long be
remembered by those who had the pleasure of witness-
nr Sunol, in the grand effort, sbe not only winning in
2: 16 J but at the same time cut down the time of Occi-
dent 2: 16J, after whom the stake was named. Conditions
and rules for entry will be found in the notice.

Bonner's Praise of California.

The cordial welcome of the Breeder and Sports.
man to Robert Bonner was in no Bense misplaced. The
hearty greetings he has received have been abundantly
reciprocated in his utterances — as to the surpassing con"
ditions of Boil and climate of Califo.nia; as to the super-
excellence of the State in the production of horses — of
trotters and runness especially. Mr. Bonner is not an
enthusiast in the ordinary sense of the term. He is by
no means a sentimentalist, to be moved from his convic-
tions by means or methods other than those which develop
demonstration in themselves and lead to confirmation.
To convince him, the thing must be proven; he will take
nothing on account. Clear and cool of head, with keen
scrutiny and finely balanced judgment, as a rock in bis
firmness, possessed of uncommon qualities of observation
and decision, Robert Bonner is of the class of his native
race, best known as a "canny Scotchman," with a head
for business and the c iscriminalion to know a good thing
when he sees it; with the attribute never to let go a good
thing when he has it in hand. A word of praise from
him — of our State and our horses — is worth more than
printed volumeB from the average author. The people
know that he does not flatter, that he does not exag-
gerate, that he does not express an opinion until he is
oonvinced, and that he is in earnest in that which he
utters.

Duiiug his sojourn in California, Mr. Bonner visited
the great breeding farm of Palo Alto, the fine similar
farms at San Mateo, Pleasanton and Los Angeles. At
each of these he saw the famous sires and noted dams, the
colts and fillies that have celebrated themselves as record
breakers, and all that is to be seen at each place. He
expressed himself as surprised and delighted in every-
thing— as to climate and soil and the wonderful develop,
ment of the country; as to the many tokens of prosper-
ity and improvement and abundance; and he declares
that California excels the world in all that tends to the
breeding of horses. The soil is better adapted to the feet
of horses, the grass is superior to that of Kentucky, and
the climate most favorable, to produce the very highest
types of trotters and racers. These encomiums will
speed throughout the country abroad. They will attract
greater attention to California and create better appreci-
ation of California, horses, high as they already rank.

Witu horsemen and breeders, the opinion of Mr. Bon-
ner will be as the substantial endorsement of everything
that has been said in praise of the State and of Cali-
fornia horses by others He has Been them upon their
native soil, just as they are, and he has seen the Cali-
fornia stables of trotters and runners which are sent East
every year, the product of our breeding farms taken
there for annual sales. He is qualified to form sound
opinion on the subject — a subject to which he has devoted
so many years of careful study, in which he has laid out
immense sums of money. His judgment of California
and of California horses will greatly redound to the
State.

Mr. Bonner exhibited uncommon delight, to the
measure of joyousuess and enthusiasm, iu looking upon
his most prized of all his possessions — the BUperb filly
Sunol. He declares her the p\ragon of her genus, the
perfection of the trotter. His purchase of Ansel is
auother proof of his high appreciation of the Palo Alto
trotters aud of California bred horses. He believes that
Sunol will go the mile below 2:10 this year, if the
weather is favorable, and thinks that ahe will next year
make it in 2:05. His visit to California has been a good
thing for the State, for the better understanding through-
out the land of the superior excellence of California
bred horses, and of great benefit to himself, in the valu.
able information ho has acquired. He baa returned to
the Eist; ho recnived warm greeting; he enjoyed un-
bounded hospitality; he returns to his home with clearer
knowledge of California; with the highest opinion of
our trotters; and he has left pleasing remembrances of
his visit to all he met while here.

Kancho Del Paso.

The small principality owned by J. B. Haggin, Esq., in
Sacramento County, this State, is without doubt the largest
breeding establishment in the world, and for two years the
buyers of the East have each season vied with one another to
secare possession of the choice yearlings sent from Rancho
Del Paso. Having seen the two lotB sent to New York in the
past, it is only natural that a desire was created to inspect
the division which will be sent to the auction block in July,
1890. So, in company with Dr. Monttarrat, of Lexington
Kj , a visit was paid this week to the ranch, where the finest
lot of weanlings ever seen in one collection was examined.
The time at command was too short to allow of a critical ex-
amination of each individual, but it can be safely said that
the consignments of the last two years are far surpassed by
the hundred or more youngsters which will be sent on this
year. The weather was of the worst, but Superintendent
Mackey turned out with hi8 accustomed good nature and we
were enabled to take a peep at nearly all of the stock. Since
our return we have been asked many times, 'What did you
fancy most amorg the youngsters?" The question is a hard
one to answer, for there are so niany good ones that a per-
son is liable to become confused amid such a grand array, bat
there are three so neaily perfection that they are worthy of
special mention. Singular to say, they are all by the Bame sire,
Sir Modred, and for good looks cannot be beat. The first is
out of RosieB, the dam of C. H. Todd and Sorrento, the second
is a colt out of Carissima, the dam of Cruiser, and the third
is out of Plaything, the dam of Tournament and Jou Jou-
For individual choice these muBt be given the preference,
but, a* stated before, it was hard to make a critical selection
owing to the hurried manner in which the colts had to be
seen. The climatic influences are such that it is unnecessary
to pay the Bame attention to foals that the Eastern breeders
have to do, and they are allowed to run at will, eating the
rich and succulent grasses with which Rancho Del Paso
abounds. Alfalfa playa an important part in the growth of
the little ones, and Mr. Mackey is a film believer in the the-
ory that it beats all other kinds of green food in developing
bone and muscle. Dr. Montsan at had to acknowledge that
he had never seen such forward fouls in the Blue Glass Re-
gion.

The large attendance that is sure to be present when the
annual salb takes place, will be more than surprised, whtn
they see the yearlingB of 1890. The stallions are all looking
in fine fettle, the two Australians, Sir Modred and Darebin
especially so. The other thoroughbred stallions are HiJalgo,
Joe Daniels, Midlothian, Ben Ali, Warwick, John
Happj, Tyrant, Kyrle Daly and Hyder Ali. The
brood mares are a superb lot and cannot be equalled
on any other stock farm in the country. Maud Hampton
and Explosion are relegated to a paddock by themselves,
while the others are in bands of eight or ten in each enclos-
ure.

The trotting division is an equally choice lot and all of
thtm look in the very pirik of condition. The choice colt of
the band is the one by Antevolo, dam Marbel, full sister to
Beautiful Bells. It was well said of this colt that he was no
more to be compared to any ordinary horse, than that a
Umatilla Reservation squaw, should be compared to Mrs.
Langtry. He is a model and should bring both dollars and
fame to Mr. HaggiD. This colt will be reserved for stock
purposes and will not be one of the consignment sent E*t>t*
There are many of the youngsters that should bring large
prices, however, and the day is not far distant wh u Rancho
Del Paso will be as well known for its trotters as it now is
for the thoroughbreds raised there.

Coney Island Jockey Club.

STAKES TO CLOSE JANUARY 2ND.

The stakes opened by the Coney Island Jockey Club, to
close January 2nd, include all the popular features of the
Jane and September meetings at Sheepshead Bay. The list
U headed with the Suburban, which is again a guarantied
stake of $10,000, and ends with the great Eastern Handicap
for two year olds to be run in September, to which the Club
add?, as in years past, 55,000. The stakes to be run in June,
which close January 2nd, are briefly as follows: —

Of the fixtures for two year olds tho Double Event has al-
ready received 93 entries for yearlings. The C. I. J. O. will
add an amount sufficient to make each race worth $5,000,
with an additional $1,000 in plate or money in case both
rftceB are won by the same horse, as wbb the case last June by
Mr. W. L. Scott's Torso. With these fixtures in connection
with the Foam and Surf for two year olds, the Equinoctial,
Tidal, Mermaid and Realization for three 5 ear olds, that
have already closed, th»-re will be no lack of stake fix' ares to
interest the public in June, the meeting beginning with the
Suburban on June 17th and ending on July 2nd with the
Realization.

The stakes to be run at the September meeting, which close
entirely on Jauoary 2nd, are the \utumn Stakes for two yetr
olds at three-quarters of a mile, and the September Stakes for
three year olds at a mile and three-quarters each, with $1,500
added. The stakeB for which there is a supplementary en-

Handicap, with §2,500 added, and (or two vear olds and up-
ward, the Flight Stakes, with $1,250 added.

THE FUTURITY OF 1892.

The Futurity has attracted the most attention of any of
the Autumn stakes for the two years that it has been in ex-
istence. For the third renewal, to be run in 1890, there were
915 subscriptions for mares, with over six hundred for the
Futurity of 1891. The fifth renewal, to be run in 1S92, will
also close on January 2nd. Tbe conditions are nearly the
same us for the stake which closed last January, with $12,500
again added, of which $2,500 will be given to the breeders of
the winner andsecond in the proportion of $1,500 and $1,000.

Editor Breeder and sportsman: — Can some of yonr
readers give the pedigree of Nora Marshall, the dam of Al-
fred S., 2 18? It is given in the catalogue of the last Seales
sale aB being by Union, he by Morrill by Morrill of Maine.
Second dam by American Star.

Nora Marshall, I believe, was purchased by the late Mr.
Congdon for James C. Flood; cost $0000, to mate his mare
Queen.

By publishing the above more may be found out about the
matter. Wallace descrioes her as pedigree unknown.
Respectfully youis.

Frank H. Burke.

Menlo Park, Cal., Nov. 30th, 18S9.

Don to Harvey W. Peck.

Oroville Notes.

C.E. C.

The horse you allude to i3 said to be the sire of the dam of
Ashley. We do not know his pedigree.

W. P.

Can you or any of your readers give me any information
about the followiug stallions:

Old Sport. Who bred him? How was he bred? Did he
have any record himself? Did he sire anything that got a
record? and if so, what? (Old Sport was owned by a Mr.
Thomas).

Geu. Wagner. Who bred him? How was he bred? Did
he have any record? Did he Bire anything that got a record?
if bo, what ?

Are either of these horses living? if so, where? and by
whom are they owned ?

Gen. Wagner, I understand, was owned at one time around
Haywards, and Old Sport stood at Sunal on Mr. Chas. Had-
■ell's place.

Can any of our readers answer the above queries?

J. F. C.

Knowing nothing whatever of the character of the mares
you have, it is impossible for us to advise you. The sire of
the stallion you mention is tirBt-class, but we know nothing
of his dam, she is not registered as standard.

W. S. Enos.

Can you give me the pedigree of Oregon Nell, formerly
owDed by the late Charles McLaughlin? Also of Pathfinder
and Oakland Maid?

Answer. — There is nothing known of the pedigree of Ore-
gon Nell. Which Pathfinder do you me in? Oakland Maid
by Speculation 928 (son of Hambletonian 10), dam the trot-
ing m ire Liiy Vernan.

J. N. M.

Will you please give me as much of the pedigree of Priva
teer (by Bucoaueer) as you can; also how many, if any colts,
has he in tue 2:30 list?

Answer. — Privateer, by Buccaneer, sou of Iowa Chief, by
Green's Bashaw, dam Lady Narley, by Marion, son of Mam-
brino Chief. There are none of his get in the 2:30 list.

W.W. B.

Will you please give the breeding of Nathan Coomb's horse
Lodi?

Answer. — Lodi, foaled 1860, by imp Yorkshire, dam To-
paz by imp Glencoe, 2nd dam Emerald by imp Leviathan,
3rd dam imp Eliza by Kubens, 4th dam Little Folly by High-
land Fling, 5th dam Harriet by Volunteer, etc.

H. M. Johnston.

Will you kiudly publish Ihe pedigree of Overland, by Bal 1
Chief, brought to California by Mr. L. J. Kose; also his per-
formances if any, and if Standard under what rule? Will
you alsj give the pedigree and peiformances of Nell Crockett
raised by Wm. Smith of Lo* Angelea, afterward;* owned by
Jim McCord? I notice a correipondent from Santa Barbara
is iuelined to treat Arrow, 2:13) as a spontaneous production
of the air »f that locality; his sister, Elwood, 2:17| (after
Tai&ing two colo>), aQd P»nal, irotting time, 2:22 (after being
banged all to pieces for several years over the cobbles in San
Francisco), his brother, were rot raised in Santa Barbara, so
it seems to me that A. W. Richmond and Crichtou's First,
his sire and dam, had more lo do with it than climate, and
the breeder that mated them ought to have some credit iD the
matter. I should think. If such horses are accidents then
why should intelligent breeders devote so much careful study
to the blending of what they consider to be the best blood
lmes to pro luce speed? Santa Barbara climate is good and
helped to develop Arrow no doubt, but the best explanation
of his speed is that he was bred for it, otherwise how about
Axtell's climate, and, comiLg nearer home, Sunol's? I do
do not think that we can afford to risk onr climate this way,
do you ? Let us rather attribute great speed to the combina-
tion of the very best bloid jndicious'y mixed, and even if we
have to give credit to the breeder for a little judgment in the
matter, let us do so and encourage others. Will you kindly
let me know where I can get a dozen pheasants, such as
were used to stock the Oregou country with?

Answer. — Foaled 1868, by Stevens' Bald Chief, son of Bay
Chief; dam Madam Botts, by John M. Botts, son of Spald-
ing's Abdallah. There is no record of his performances. Of
Nell Crockett nothiog is known of her pedigree. She started,
according to Chester, in eight races, of which she won three,
making a record of 2:32J. If you will write to Z% Job, Cor-
vallis, Oregon, that gentlemen will give you all necessary in-
formation in reference to the Pheasants.

Green Morris, the well known Eastern turfman, received a
check for $4,545, signed by the Dwyer Bros., for his winniogs
at Elizabethtown. Ooe of the clerks went to the Brooklyn
Trust Company for the cash and disappeared with it. It is
said the Dwyer's will make tbe loss good.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — In your issue of Nov.
30th. appears an article by Harvey W. Peck, entitled :'In
years gone by" in which he attempts to show that no Irotter
of to-day is quite as good aB some «.f the old stars, saying they
can not stay hard rates year after year, and for proof of h s
assertions points to the trotters of to day as Sunul, Axtell,
Allerton, Lillian Wilkes and Faust— all three year old*.
Now I do not wish, and in fact no one can say anything dis-
paraging or to belittle the credit of our old time star per-
formers; but I should like to ask does he wish to make com-
parisons between three year olds and those whom he after-
wards names and gives their performances for five, six and
seven successive years? or does he intend to point out that
the named three jear olds have made marvelous recjrds a-
gainst old father time and can't carry this speed to the finish
of a race, while the old named stagers made their various
records in racee?

I don't think it hardly fair to compare three or fonr year
olde, with old stars, as they have becn on the turf but two
seasons at the most, and not year alter year for several sea-
sons,

If, however, he wishes to compare the game trotting qual-
ities, why don't he include soma three and four year-olus in
this country that many regard as good if not better dead game
race horses, as any he has mentioned, viz: Margaret S., Di-
leet. Hazel Wilkes and Lord Byron. Supposing we take a
glance over the race performances of these babies of tbe turf.
I think we will find that every one mentioned haB made good
records as race Inrses in races with competitors.

Sanol. as a two-year-old, trotted againBt coinoetitors in
two races containing four heats, and made a record in a race
of 2:25.

As a three-year-old, she trotted in three races, ten heats,
with the fastest one in 2:18. trotted three walk overs in 2:15|,
2:164 and 2:10i, with more left yet.

Lillian WilKes trotted this season a walk over in 2:18, and
two weeks later to show that she meant it, trotted in a race
with two competitors the second heat iu 2:17f, and then went
on and won the race.

Faust trotted in two races distancing the field in both, best
time 2:18£ in second heat.

Margaret S. trotted three races in her two year-old form,
placing 2:31 to her credit; as a tbree-year-old she trotted eight
races containing 28 heats, obtaining a record of 2:19^- and
the race which I wish to particularly point out in her case
was the 2:30 class race at Sacramento, and tbe faoi that she
won the first and third heats in 2:19} and 2:19.} and forced
out her competitor in two other heats that (Saturday) after-
noon in 2:18 and 2:19£; and on Monday following trotted
within three lengths of him in 2:18. The very next day she
trotted in a stake race against Sunol, being close up to her,
three heats in 2:20*, 2:21 J and 2:18.

Direct, as a three-year-uld, trotted in six races, getting a
mark of 2:23; as a four-year-old he trotted in eight races con-
taining 29 heats, winning 20, one in 2:13 J, one in 2:184, one
in 2:19}, six in 2:194, one in 2:20, one in 2:20£, one in 2:214,
and one in 2:21$. Besides these twenty wincing heats he
trotted (two winning heats) two dead heats and four losing
heats, eight in all, in one race in a field of aged horses.

Hazel Wilkes trotted this season as a fonr year-old in fields
of aged hordes, in eight races, containing 31 heats, and ob-
tained a record of 2:20.

Lord Byron, as a three-year-old, trotted several races, get-
ting a record of 2:29}; as a four-year-old he trotted in live
races containing eighteen heats, and getting a mark of 2:18.
I might go on and give the performances of Sable WilkeB
and Grandee in this country and more Ea^t, but what is the
use, when a three and four-year-old tight out a 2:30 class
race, five heats in which the second horse trots every heat
better than 2:20, and when a three-year-old that can trot
three beats in 2:20 can't even get second money in a race
without split heats.

I would like to ask friend Peck if he ever heard of a 2:30
class race being forced to such a pace by a three-year-old, as
the one above referred to.

I don't think the performances of the California three and
four-year olds are equalled by any performances by old or
young in California or in the East at the present day, and
when we take age into consideration. I think they stand on a
par with the performances of our old-time stars. Now don't
let Mr. Peck mislead himself with the ide± that these young-
sters are done and have got to tbe notch where they will
stop, for they have most of them gone into winter quarters
with feet and. legs as sound as before the campa gn opened,
and will certainly train on, aDd at the tap of the bell nest
season, will be again doing oattle for the upholding of the
repotation of the trotters of to-day.

I will not attempt to predict how fast they will go each
coming year for the next four or five seasons, neither will I
accept tbe proposition that they have got to their limit of
Hpeed, for there is no proof.

As to the piopusition as to how a "sure enough" trotter
can be bred with uni ormity? my little experience teaches
me that breeding it is partly experimental until one finds the
prop-r nick for a horse. Bat one thing is certain; if he has
a mare whose ancestors have been dead game peiformers, and
she herself has proven that she is the same, if you breed that
mare to a stallion with the same combination or requirements
you »re mure sare of getting a "sure enough" trotier than
you will be by breeding any well bred, thoroughbred, or cold
bred mare to any stallion however good. Of coarse Mr. Peck
may say that I am asking for almost an impossibility, bat
there are a few mares in the United States lhat have my re-
quired staudard, and fortunate indeed are the owners of sneh.
In closing I say, may the problem of producing dead came
trotting horses, as good as we have got now, be continued io
California for years to come, and the other one of how to
produce a "sure enough" trotter, will solve itself by the off-
springs of our present performers. "Don."

J. Martin Barney Returns.

Editok Breeder and Sportsman:— I arrived home safe
and sound, dogs and all, some three weeks since, and have
been pretty busy picking up the threads of business which J
dropped for my visit.

I bred Galatea to Tom Pinch on November 19th, so the
progeny will be comfortably inside the line for Field Trial-
era. I did not intend to breed her this fall as I wanted to
bunt hei. but was overpersnaded by my Etstern friends, who
Bay, "If you can raise such puppies as Lady Pinch keep
right on."

Dutch Flat, Dec. 5, 1889. J. Martin Barney.

One can hear nothing talked aboat in Orcville at present
but the coming citras fair, which promises to eclipse all for-
mer efforts in that direction. Ali the prominent horsemen
are on some one or more of the fair committees and bnt lit-
tle attention 1b paid to fast work by those who own fast
roadsters. However not :o be behind hand in furishing a
variety of amos.m-. nts for the expected guest, it is now pro-=
prsed to give two days racing auring fair week, at P. R.
Welch's track which is located about three miles from lown^
If the idea is carried oat the most interesting contest of the
meeting will be the ooe for the district two years old, in
which amoDg other contestants there will be an entry by
Marion Biggs Jr. It will be his black colt by Hardwood
whicb gives every p omise of great spetd Mr. Meade and
Judge Gale will al-o enter their young c ilts both of which
are by Steinway Jr. and out of Blackbird mares. They were
purchased at tbe Reavis salela6t year and each of them are
'threatened with speed." A. J. Walsh also has a hand-
some and fast sorrel colt by Happy Jim whose dam was
thoroughbred. He is put up on tbe lines of Direct whom he
very much resembles exef-pt in color. These funr should
make a good race as they are all very evenly matched.

Judge Hundly and county Treasurer DeLar.cie have both
good roadsters and occasioully they have a brush on the
road together, but the Judge u-ually gets away with the
glory as his animal is the faster of the two. Mr. Amos
Howard, still has his old grey, and although he is fast ap-
pn-ching twenty years of age, there is plenty of life in the
old gelding yet and many a younger one he leaves on the
road behind him.

Mr. Biggs has hi? three track horses here, Dade, St. Lu-
cas and Ed. Biggs, tbe two former are turned out, but the
last one is being worked over the ro-ds each lair day. Ed.
Biggs has a good tarn of speed and if no accident happens,
should go into the 2:30 list next season. Oroville has been
sadly handicapped in not having a track cIobb to the town;
Mr. Biges bought land for that pnrpoBe and had a traoksur-
veyed and staked out, but finding an opportunity to sell out
at a largely increased price, availed himself of the chance
and now we will have to fall back upon the Welch track.
Come up and see us during fair week and we will entertain
you io an hospitable manner. Aye Jay.

The Kansas City Beferee, commenting upon our sugges-
tion to make up a team to meet the traveling teams of tbe
V. S. Cartridge Company, eays that Kansas City will tarn

likewise.

Mr. Burdette Coutts on Horses.

Mr. Burdette Coutts, who was formerly Ashmead-Barllelt,
has since his marriage to the wealthy Baroness, indulged in
several stud farms and more particularly in breeding Hack-
neys, of which lie has the be3t collection, Drobably, in Eng-
land, says in the London Live-Stock Pastimes and Sports
when commenting on the French horses exhibited at the
Paris show.

I have two general remarks to make. First, that np to
15.2, or possibly up to 15 3 hands, our English horses, par-
ticularly now when the Btudj and attention given to the
Hackney breed has in five or six years produced such marked
improvement, are immeasurably superior in every rtspect to
anything lhat is bred in France. For barouche horses from
16 to 17 hnnds high, I reluctantly admit that tbe French
breeder takes the brioche. The French have a race of carros-
feiers — lhat is, by constantly crossing tbe Hackney stallion
with the big rnares of Normandy, the latter probably enlarged
by an earlier admixture of Cleve and or Yorkshire coach
horse blood, they have created a race from whicb their
barouche horses are produced. I am by no means satis6ed
with them. Their hind action is indifferent, their shapes are
vas ly inferior to our best Yorkshire type, showing Deither
the lengthy and level quarter nor the long, elegant top 1 ne of
the latter Bnt that wh/ch really shows a bor^e in harness,
and which sells him at a h'gh price for that purpose, viz.,
high action in front, is veiy mucn more marked throughout
in the French barouche horse than is our own.

It is not the best of action; it is often up and down, "flop-
perty," and "dishing." bat there is no doabt about it, they
do "pop it up." A pair of Yoikshire coach horses or of
Cleveland bajB— of that tine quality which Mr. A. E Pease,
M. P., doeB not appear to consider eitber a natural or valua-
ble characteristic of the la ter breed but which I believe, by
careful attention, can easily be produced from it — if they ha I
redly high action in front, would be worth, in the eyes of
anyone who knows a hor-e's la 1 from his head, double tbe
money that any French bred pair ought to fetch. Bat as a
rule, in our big horees of this type we have not got the ac-
tion. There are one or two famous exceptions, and if these
should succeed in reproducing tbeir own action while pre-
serving their fine shapes we shall have solved the difficulty
which to my mind should be a matter of grief and consterna-
tion to English horse breeders, viz: That we can not or do
not at the present time produce big carriage horses suitable
for the London stage carriage.

It is a well known fact that tbe most of the big bay horses
which we sea in the Mall on a drafting-room day, whatevtr
black blood may be in their veins, are strangers in a strange
land. I do not deny that some big horses with action are
produced in Great Britain, but for Ihe most part they are
"carriagey" hunters from Ireland or the i. reduce of Hackney
stallions and c»rt mares, and in neither case do they posBess
the curvilinear and sweepii g fomi which to a practiced eye,
ib most beautiful for a big burness horse. I have little doubt
that some of the coarseness tf shape, and particularly the low
set tail in the French c irr ssier, is due to the fact that many
big so-called Hackney stallion have beeu imported into that
country which get their size from a cross of carting blood.
It remains to be seen whether in tb s country we can not
produce[»D animtl with the requisite action and shape by
crossing itie Clevehnd Bay or the Yorkshire coach horse with
a pure Hackney pissessed of extra size and qnalily. With-
out the latter we shall do nothing in this business.

One noticeable feature in French horses is that in all Eizes
they are bred f >r speed in trotting. The composition of the
ground in the Palais de lTndustrie is suited to this peculiar-
ity, being hard and not cjvered with tan, as is the case with
our shows. This is a point which we seem to have lost sight
of in favor of show action. And yet irotting speed mas* be
iuhereut in the breed that conn s irom tbe loins of Marsh-
land Shales, who did his 17 miles in 56 minntcs, carrying 13
stone, or from W root's Pretender, wbo is credited with 16
miles to the hour, car»vicg 17 Btone. as well as in the stock
of that Yorkshire coach hors^, a brother to Wonderful, of
whom we find the almost incredible record of 18 miles in the
hour, carrying IS stone. Io our competition the pace which
will make a horse raise his knee to the highest point is the
only one sought after, bnt any one who has visited ooe of
the real old-fashioi ed Yorkshire breeders and seen these
horses trotted without breaking on a long rein to a galloway,
the latter galloping alongside as fast as he can lay beel« to
the ground, or auy one who remembers, the larp-
old Bellfounder played in the creation of th( A
ting horse, will understand how easily the cli
speed could be resuscitated in these English bre

To the Top of Mt Whitney.

[By O. E. Sherman.]

XIV.

When first a little creek near the Natural Bridges was
reached, Grant, who was the frieudly gaide cf the day, stop-
ped and remarked: 'If you want bait you had better g*-t it
nere, for you will not find any in the main river." Follow-
ing his advice and turning overroeks in the stream the result
was astonishing Every rock had the salmon tiy or May tiy
chrysalis upon it and many were so covered that these trubs
actually stood on end. At least a peck of these Utile shellB
was gathered in fifteen minutes. To the careless observer
they much resemble a shrimp, and their shells, when reach,
ing the s'ate of cast-off garments, float away and scatter
along down the whole length of Kern River. All fishermen
call this bait "anterugin."

Thi-i whole country is distinctly volcanic. At the Divide
there is a small mountain whose surface is as red as ordinary
brick. From this Red Mountain— as loca ly named — a stream
of lava at some time flowed directly in the eoume of Whitney
Creek as far as Kern River. At different points the trail
passes over this irregular bed, while there are large piles of it
on either side. In places the stream aod the elements have
washed the earth away, leaving perpendicular masses of lava,
just as when it was in a molten state. Occasionally there will
be a cave. Natural Bridge Creek forms f'om seven springs,
all within a radius of 100 yards and not more than 200 yards
above the bridges. At the point where the waters all join jast
above the bridges they form a good sized trout stream, which
precipitates itself over the rocks and down its steep bed, a
maBB of foam until it reaehea Whitney Creek. One bridge is
about fifteen feet wide, the other at least thirty. From the
surfaoa to the water is on the upper side about ten and on
the lower side forty feet.

In every direction from the bridges are viewB of grandeur
and beauty. Looking east is a beautiful little meadow with
springs of water flowing into it from almost every direction.
To the left almost touching the trail, one spring sends a
volume of water out of the side of a bare mountain, which
equals the flow of the largest artesian well in the valley. To
the south rises a timbered slope covered with pines, lnauza-
nitua and cednrs. Northward is the Btream of lava, jast across
Whitucy Creek, and back of it a perpendicular cliff towering
at least a thousand feet above the spectator. But the grand-
est view of all is toward the west. Whitney Creek takes a
leap into space. It most be at least 2,000 feet above Kern
River, which the creek rushes down to meet in leas than u
mile. One looks down and down to fathom the end of its
headlong oareer, to see boiling foam with occasional lineB of
soft, hazy blue, between cliffs of enormous proportions. And
at the end, across the canyon of Kern River, there rises a
snow dipped giant, 14 000 feet in height, which bars the
rushing waters and battles the vision. Beside numerona cas-
cades, there are in this short distanoe three waterfalls, the
largest perhaps 123 feet in height.

A graphic story of golden l rout is told by the Captain of the
Pilgrims. "You can only get below this fall at one point,
and that by an extremely uii/.urdonB route, only possible bv
aid of the linuly rooted nnd stont buBhes. Down this cliff I
went with many a choky feeling, for if a bush were to give
way, then goodbye nil. Once at the bottom, right amid tbe
■pray from the falls, I lost all interest in scenery and bother
about brush and fell to hook and line as quickly as possible.
Down in the beautiful deep po.il below me, in an instant I
hooked a lovely ten inch golden tront, to be followed by an-
other and another, and us many as I wanted, in rapid suc-
cession.

Following down the edge of the cliff, absorbed with the
sph adid sport, I happened to glance upward, and iny! how
I got out of that (lace! The stream of ages hail worn into
tli lava mountain, until away above my head it was a huge
ovir-hanging cliff, threatening in app-aranco to fail at any
v ,e aod bury me mountains deep. Ooco out from under.
I 'row a long breu'li and reasoned. Certainly that cavern
...i'i cliff had Btood just us it was for U.OIJO years anyhow, it
nt reasonably to last a few days longer, and beside, Uiobo
airly beloved golden trout! So back under the beetling

precipice again; back to the sport which I had come so far to
seek. The waters roared, the spray ascended, the mighty
rocks continued their rest of ages, and the golden boautieB
rose with all the fervor of the tallest kind of trne love to the
c ist of my glittering fly."

As far up the cliffs as the spray can reach, the rocks are
mantled with lichens, ferns, flowers, sbrubB, beautiful
grasses and mosses, and in the niches fashioDed by water in
perfect regularity and symmetry, vegetable growth attains
rare luxuriance; while above the reach of water, the rocky
battlements have the barrenness of desolation. TDe lava is
porous and light, but tough and enduring, and with its dif-
ferent strata or layers, presents a bewildering variety of col-
ors. The broken debris at the mountain's feet is tenanted
by a world of ground hogs, whose pieroing whistles are ever
sounding notts of alarm and orders for prompt disappear-
ance.

August 11th, was "steamer day," rents were collected in
substantial, bat untailor like fashion; the dues of cleanliness
were paid in Boap and water, and in the afternoon, the artist
and assistants made the perilous climb below Agaa Bonita
falls, taking some of the finest, and what are sorely the rarest
negatives possessed by lovers of nature. Thet evening the
Pilgrims were visited by Messrs. Dent and Pogue of Tulare
County, who with a party of ladies, gentlemen and children
were encamped near by. Some of this party had made the
ascent of Mt. Whitney, among them Miss Eva Pogue.

As night approached and bed-time came, the Chaplain was
the first to move towards the opportunities of Dreamland.
Just after stepping out of the circle he exclaimed, "Hello!
here comes a man on foot, up the trail." All eyeB were
turned down the hill. The flickering light of the camp tire
cast its rays upon the form of a man with a very long beard,
oirryiog sornetbiog upon one shoulder. He moved up the
hill with an assuring and steady stride and stepped fully
within the line of the fire, when the astonished Pilgrims saw
that they were favored with a visit from no less a personage
than Old Father Time himself. He leaned his scythe against
a tree, advanced to a lava boulder and seated himself without
a word. The cook dropped to his knees; the oaptain waB well
behind the chaplain, who by this time had put a big tree be-
hind bis dear self and the rusty old soythe; the doctor hid
behind his phial prepared to shoot pellets; the enthusiast
tried to steal a base; the electrician hid under his hat; the ar-
tist crawled into his camera and the CDunselor ambled out in-
to the darkness. But with kindly graciousnees and a genial
smile, Father Time put away the gathering fears and said;
"Now I want you fellows to do a little figuring.'
Like one who has no equal and but few superior, the En-
thusiast groped for a pencil; eagerly, earnestly, but in vain.
The Captain had the sole and only pencil in the gang. Father
Time went on.

"Now yon fellows are no doubt having a delightful time
here at Camp Beautiful amid this delightful scenery, catch-
ing great Btriogs of golden trout, and all that sort of thing,
but it does not seem to occur to yon that there are obligations
iu this world. Now you left Bakersfield on the '30th of July
didn't you?"
"To- lay is the 11th of Angust isn't it?"
"You have been out just 13 days, haven't you?"
"You promised to be home in 21 days, didn't you?"
"Which would give you jast 8 days in which to get there
wouldn't it?"

'■Now snppose you were to break up this camp to-morrow
and move to Rnnkles. Your Artist says he wants another
day about here to complete his views; you oan eive him a
conp'e of helpers to-morrow and turn him loose," while the
rest of yon ran move to jRunkles and prepare for the trip up
the river. It will take the best part of the day to fix your
horse feet OBke bread and get things together so as to be
ready for a start early on the morning of the 13th."

"Now, you have an idea that yon are going to the summit
of Mount Whitney by way of the headwaters of Kern Kiver
in three days. It is a contract that you don't know any-
thing aboui; more than that every old Bottler and traveler
that you have met says that you can't make it at all; so it
will be a pretty safe proposition to double your estimate
won't it?"

"When you get back, if ever you do, you and your horses
will be pretty tired, and a needed rest or one dav will make
eight days, won't it?"

"Now do you catch on? If you would keep vour word
you have just eight days in which to make a twelve days'
trip, for it will take four clays at the very least to get home
from Runkles."

"So mv advice would be, in the vernacular, 'get a move on
you,' as I have BuggeBted. That's all.

The Captain thanked the aged antocrat for his timelv ad-
advice, and added, "pardon me, but it occurs to me that as
opportunity may not again offer, I would like to aBk on be-
half of our party, thot any farther visits of a— ahem— an
urgent business nature which you may have occrsion to ex-
tend in our direction, be postponed just as long as can be
with convenience." The Captain glanced toward the pilgrims
for nods of assent which he felt sure would be given, and
then looking back lor answer, lo! Father Time had disap-
peared more silently than he came, not forgetting to take
with him that horrible scythe.

Uncommon Sense.

Mr. Fred Mather, Superintendent of Fisheries for the
State of New York, has been considering the statements
made by those who are banded together to over-ride the
right, destroy preserves, embarrass sportsmen who lease shoot-
ing, and generally to display a disregard for common decency.
Mr. Mather's remarks are especially commended to such
readers, if any, we have. They were written for our ex"
change Shooting and Fishing, a journal which editorially
oppoees the preserve Bystem. Mr. Mather says:

This is a subject upon which a volume could be written.
My experience and observations on the preserving of largo
or small tracts of land by individuals or clubs ie, that it is
in accord with human instincts, for selfishness is inherent in
all, and a rule of life is said to be, "A man who has the
money is the man who has the fun." Free tiBhing in a dense-
ly populated country means no fishing for any person: free
shooting means nearly the same thiog, excejit when migrat-
ing birdB are considered. The man who has money can go
hundreds of miles for sport, or he can preserve it near by;
he can do many things which moneyless men cannol; he sits
in his box at the opera while we sit in the gallery; he sips
Burgundy at a fabulous price, and we drink a modest glass
of beer costing five cents. Why should we ineffectually kiok
at the natural order of things? If there is a class that is
conspicuous for rapacity it is the newly rich, and how I wish
I was one of them! On Sunday I have to walk to church
twice a day.

My neighbor, Mr. Dives, rides in his coupe and sprinkles
me with dust, but, and a heavy emphasis on the but. what
can I do about it? No malter how much I may grumnle
about it, the fact remains. My neighbor is a member of a
salmon club in Canada, and bless him, he has often sent me
a middle cut from a twenty-pounder, while I never killed a
salmon, unless in my hatching troughs through awkward-
ness, and never expect to kill an adult salmon unless the
Hudson Eiver affords the chance, for my purse strings are
not only short but have been weakened from disuse, lor,
since I put a dime in it in accordance with Iago's advice,
there has been a mystery about that money. The point of
this is, what 1 cannot afford I must do without. If I cannot
ride to church, it is possible that I may find the walking
very good. If a man has a taste for fishing, sho iting, opera,
or literature, and has not the necessary money to indulge
his taste, what can be done abont it? Suppose he has a gun,
and no money to buy ammunition, and the ducks are whist-
ling their wings about his ears. Iago suggests the remedy,
and the remedy is more or less cruel.

Communism will not help it. Ever since the time when
history was written, "the man who bad the money waB the
man who had the fun," and neither you nor I can change
the law. I am rapacious, but am sorely restricted by a limit-
ed bank account. I have on my ground many beautiful wild
ducks whtoh I have bought from men who wanted money-
more than ducks; wood-ducks, geese and blue-winged teal,
widgeon, pin-tails and Chinese mandarin ducks, the original
pair of mandarins having cost me fifty dollars to land them
in New York, and will I let J on come and shoot them? If
you ask the privilege I will consider the matter; but if you
shoot without asking I shall refer the nearest constoble to
yon. I do not shoot these ducks, but have the right to do it.
I prefer to see them nest and lear their young. They were
and are wild; my few dollars bought them and saved their
lives. But this will do; carry the matter out on this line and
see if there are not two fair sides to the question.

Mr. Austin B. Sperry writes from Sloekton that he shot for
three days iu the tule last week, with the poorest of luck.
The birdB were not there.

It will be a matter of surprise to our readeas, to learn the
L. C. Smith Gun business has been sold out. The Hunter

Imagine George W. Bassford the geDius of a ball ! Tet
seven years ago in Colnsa, and again last week at Vallejo, he
■won a masquerade prize in character as a "tule hunter."
Why anybody should bunt tule is tbe conundrum of the
day.

Major S. I. Kellogg informs us that the conditions for the
Central California Standard Challenge Medal, to be offered
by the Selby Smelting and Lead Company for 1890 will be
somewhat similar to those governing tbe medal just won by
Henry Bassford.

Mr. Ed Fay and a friend, Mr. O'Shaughnessy, shot a
friendlymatob at Bird's Point on Saturday lastj and|both made
remarkable soores. Both killed their first dozens, then Mr.
Fay pulled away and won at fifty birds, scoring forty-seven.
Each then tried three pairs at IS yards, ground traps, and
Mr. O'ShaughnesBy won.

There 6eems to be a marked lack of interest in making
up a California team to meet tbe Eastern cracks who will be
here iu January. Perhaps tbe better way would be to have
a committee of acknowledged experts meet and discuss the
matter. The shooters might well send us their views in re-
lation to tbe proposition, which will be published and may
arouse interest.

Charles Barker Bradford, gives these hints which are worth
remembering:

Tbirbt oan be abated by tbe eating of acid fruits or plants.
The chewing of twigs, barliR or leaves of tiees and shrubs
will also afford temporary relief. Snow aud ioe aggravates tbe
thirst by chilling and closing the salivary glands.

Learn to, shoot without shutting your eyes when you pull
the trigger. Beginners will find it hard to do this, but it
must be doue.

An extra pair socks are handy on a one-day outing trip.
Then, with your shoes nicely dried at my lady host's (ire
you will he in comfort the next morning on yonr way home.

Avoid sleeping in close rooms. Keep the apartment well
ventilated. Let iu fresh air, but keep out of the draught.

When out shooting carry a small square of chomois skin
saturatnd with pure oil. Then you are prepared to well
grease your gun in oase of a rain storm.

THE FARM.

Value of Milk in Kidney Disease-
Prof. German See of Paris has long been engaged in study
to learn what elements in milk rendered it such an admirable
agent to stimulate the kidneys, increase the flow therefrom
and hence prove of such great service in dropsies. As a re-
sult of his investigation, be is convinced that the one im-
portant element is sugar of milk. Ac'iog upon this theory,
he selected twenty-five patients with heart disease, in all of
which there was more or less dropsy. To each he gave 100
grammes of the sugar of milk a day, dissolved in two quarts
of water. In all these cases a marked effect upon the kid-
neys was felt within twenty-four to forty-five hours, and the
dropsies diminished rapidly, and almost all such swelling*
disappeared altogether after a series of treatments lasting
from Bix to eight days. This discovery is likely to prove one
of the most important which has baen made in the medical
world for years.

The Basis of Value in Cattle.

He Starts a New Randi for Propagating the Amerlcau
Bison.

Probably no man has a wider reputation in the West than
"Buffalo" Jones. He has *pent tbe last twen'y years in the
study of the American bisou. He started with a small herd
of buffalo calves which he gathered by degiees, and by care
and close attention to their habits he soon had the pleasure
of seeing his expenmeut a success. His he:d grew rapidly,
and ne has now one hundred full blood buffaloes and a large
herd of half bloods.

He has found that his range in Kansas is getting too con-
tracted tor the success of the herd, and has opened an im-
mense ranch near Ogden, Utah, for the further perpetuation
of the species. He has supplied numerous parks and pri-
vate individuals with pairs, and still has a nucleus for a
herd that bids fair to some day rival the immense bands that
swarmed the western praires a few years ago.

He said: "My herd of full-bloods is constantly increas-
ing, and 1 believe they are growing larger than those in the
wild state, but they are not so hardy. The hybrids are very
hardy, and produce more meat than the common catt'e, but
some people claim that it is tough and dry. I do not find it
so. In my new ranch at Ogden I expect to increase my
herd to thousands, and then I will begin to realize on them
by selling calves and killing the beeves just as ordinary cat-
tle raisers do. The profits will be much greater than from
domestic cattle, for tne hides will be a rarity, and will bring
rive or six times as much in the market as those of ordinary
beeves. The hides of the half-breeds are tougher, and take
the characteristics of the buffalo hi^es. I have the only
tame herd in the world that can be called a herd. There are
several shows tbat claim that honor, but they simply have a
few scrawny specimens that I would cull from my herd.
Mine are large and fine brutes, some weighing as high as
2,000 pounds, and are perfectly free from tbat dejected ap-
pearance that is noticed in the circus animal." — Kansas City
Letter.

Ripeniner for Choice Meat.

In order to get tender, lean, juicy hams and pork a breed
of swine must be kept which, like the Berkshire, produces
them naturally. These have hams weighing 15 to 30 pounds
or more each, with a rim of fat of not over one to two-thirds
of an inch thick; all the rest of the meat lean — nicely mar-
bled; tbat is, the lean well streaked with very tine lines of
fat, which tend to make it tender and juicy. There are other
bleeds of swine which if properly reared and fed will produce
more or less such flesh, but they cannot be depended upon
for a large proportion like the Berkshire. This can only be
known hy experimenting with them.

The best feed to grow lean meat is to turn the pigs into
a grass lot — of which clover is Ihe beBt — as soon as weaned,
give all the milk which c»n be spared for them to drink and
all the wheat, bran or middlings they wid eat three times per
day, mixed half and half with oat meal. Rye, bailey or
buckwheat meal is a tolerable good substitute for; oats, or
even ground wheat may be used. With the above grain sup-
ply all the pure water the pigs will drink three times per day,
unless there is a running stream through their pasture. If
the grass becomes short in summer or autumn feed a mod-
erate quantity of any kind of vegetables, or squash, or pump-
kins, but not enougu of either of these to make them loose,
and especially to sour

A month or so before slaughtering, commence mixing one-
fourth Indian meal with the wheat bran or middling-;, and
gradually increase this to full three-fourths at the end; lessen
also the vegetables to a small amount; but the pigs may con-
tinue to run in the grass pasture if there are sheds with dry
bottoms to shelter them in storms or as cold weather advan-
ces.— Veteran in the National Stocknian.

The Shorthorn Cross-

Considering the propriety of keeping the breeders of Short
horn cattle together, and to demonstrate tbat there is yet an
outcome to their business, Judge T. C. Jones has called upon
Ohio breeders to tell him what tbey think. In a recent let-
ter to him through the Ohio Farmer, a writer Bavs: Upon
their merits as the best general purpose cattle, Shorthorns
have been more generally u:et in this country than any
other breed for improving our native stock. In many dis-
tricts there has been a wonderful improvement in the quality
of cattle by the use of Shorthorn sires for several generations,
and this has been continued until the entile of such districts
show the Shorthorn characteristics. In such localities it has
been easy for buyers to secure round lots of cattle of uni-
form points and quality. Within a few years past new
breeds have been introduced, often more for speculation than
with an idea of general improvement. The result has been
that on many farms we find cattle of different breeds, and
buyers complain that it is a hard matter to gather up cattle
of uniform points and qmlity for feeding or shipping.
Farmers insist upon selling all, and when buyers are forced
to take the indifferent as well as the good, the farmer stands
a discount on the good. It is clearly in the interest of farm-
ers in any given district to raise, generally, cattle of one de-
sirable breed, and thus accommodate buyers with a uniform
class of cattle and render sales more easy. A single circum-
stance shows to what extent the Shorthorn cross ha3 im-
proved the cattle of Union County: My neighbors, Mr.
Luther L;ggett and Mr. John C. Price, buy up and feed a
large number of cattle. They look out especially for good
cattle of the Shorthorn cross. They sold, a short time ago,
one hundred and five head, which averaged 1,627 pounris,
and they have on hand yet one hundred and fifty head of

The final measure of value ot larm animals is adaptation
to the wants of man. The final basis of price is the actual and
relative numbers of animals of different grades and adapta-
tions. Beauty of form or color, personal attachment to indi-
vidual animals, or gooi reputation of the ancestry may in-
crease the estimate of value of a few animals. Prices may be
controlled for a time or permanently for anim*ls with these
characteristics, but the permanent estimate of the value of
almost any class of animals produced in large numbers, and
the prices at which they can be disposed of, depends on its
demonstrated fitness to meet the practical wants of man.

The cattle breeding and fueling interests in the United
States are unusually depressed. All classes show this de-
pression, the best and the poorest, pure-bred and grade, fat
catile and milch cows, all sell at lower prices and find a less
ready demand ttnn was the case a few years ago. It is well
worthwhile for individual cattle breeders and the represent-
atives of any breed to ask whether it be possible to secure a
more general belief in the superior merit or wider adaptation
of their cattle.

The working ox has so largely disippeared in this country
that the fitness of any breed for the prodnction of working
cittle cuts no figure in the popnlar estimate of value. Prac-
tically, the estimate of value ot almost all the good cattle of
the country depends upon their supposed merit as producers
1 of meat or dairy products, or of both of these.

Tne owners of pertlaps one-third of the nearly fifty million
ca'tle in the United S ates care little or nothing for the niiit
giving ability of their cows so long as they are able to supply
the needs of the calves. By far the largest number of the
cattle of this class are in the herds of the far Western States
and Territories Any breed of cattle the cows of which are
inferior as milkers or are believed to be so, will work against
odds in attaining or maintaining wide-spread popularity in
any district of considerable Bize east of the Missouri River.

The owners of perhaps one-tenth of the cattle in the coun-
try care little or nothing for the beef-making capacity of their
cows, §valoeiug them only because of ability to give a large
quantity or an excellent quality uf milk. Many dairy farmers
^hink the possession of either bulls or cows of the t-ize and
form best fitting them for teef-making a serious objection.
This is also true of many village or town residents.'

The owners of more than half of the cattle in the country
attach importance to both the beef and d^iry qualities in
placing an estimate on the value of a cow or breed of cattle.
Some aitach much more importance to one than to the other
but many nearly equal importince to each The seven great
corn producing States, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri, Kansas and Nebraska, have nearly one-third of the
cattle of the country. In these States are reared and fed vast
number of fineheaf cattle. The bpecial dairy interests of
some of these Slates are important. But more than half the
cattle in these States are kept in comparatively small herds
by farmers who do not believe they can wisely iguore either
beef making or milk giving in their caws, farmers who are
not special dairymen yet are not content to keep a cow sim-
ply to suck a calf.

As affecting the bearing of the e facts, it should be borne
in mind that it is practically inevitable that the relative num-
ber of dairy cows will increabe in the older StateB, except, p "'S-
sibly, in the South, and that in the opinion of many, the
the rearing of beef cattle is to be more and more confined to
what we call now the far "West.

For the present, the largest demand for cattle is for those
believed to ba good both for beef making and milk making;
the next largest, for cattle believed especially good as beef
producers; the next, for cattle believed to be especially val-
uable as dairy cattle, with little or no reference to other
qaalities.

Is it possible or practicable to meet the preference of this
largest number of cattle owners? If so, is it wise to attempt
to do so.

It is a well-established principle in breeding, that it is dif-
ficult, often practically imposstole to combine the higheBt de-
gree of excellence iu two or more directions in one animal or
one breed. The requirement that there shall be uniformity
in color, size or Bny distinguishing mark greatly increases
the difficulty in developing or maintaining tbe highest degree
of excellen e in any breed. Adding aa additional ' fancy" or
unimportant point to the standard of excellence for any
breed usually does harm.

There is overwhelming evidence, however, that we may
have a symmetrical development of the whole animal, giving
fitness for every nataial function. Wo mast choose between
unusual or extraordinary development of one quality and
fair development of two or more. Special development in
the domestic animals, as in man, attracts most attention,
ommands tha highest price, and, in many situations, is by
tar toe moBt valuable. Fair ability to do more than one
bind of work in the domestic animals, as in man, is less
showy, usually lower prized, but meets a larger demand.

The moBt widely-popular breeds of chickens are those
which combine size and form with good egg-producing abil-
ity The most sought for breeds of sheep are those combin-
ing mutton and wool production in the greatest degree. The
most generally popular breeds of hogs are those for which
both early maturity and good size are claimed. Along side
the demand, at high prices, for horses of great speed and
hors< s of great strength, there is an increasing popular de-
mand for horses combining speed, size, beauty of form, and
active in good degree,

Milk-giving and meat-making are equally mUural functions
of evtry cow in natural conditions. Milk and flesh alike
come from the food eaten, digested and assimilated. The
quantity and quality of either product will 2' e affected by in-
dividual peculiarities, acquired or inherited, by the quantity
and quality of food, and by good or bad care. Full work can
not be done in both directions at the same time. The maxi-
mum product iu both is not to be expected from the same
animal, even at different times. There are thousands of cows,
however, representing a half-dozen breeds, or various crosses,
which are conclusive proofs of the possibility of combining
in one animal a merit above the average, both for the dairy
and for beef-making, a combination making animals more
valuable for a multitude of our farmers than would be those
in which there was a special development in either direction
with corresponding weakness in the other. It is well worth
an effort to supply the best possible of these double-purpose
cows.

The number of pure-bred cattle of each of the more popu-
lar breedB is large, so large tbat high average prices are not
to be expected in the future. Very high prices may be ex-
pected for cattle which are, or are believed to be, exception-
ally good, but with increasing numbers of technically pure
bred animals, the average of prices for Buch will more neary

approach those for good cattle not eligible to record. At-
tempting to increase the demand by demonstrating adaptt-
tion to the wants of a large number of possible purchasers is
a wiser policy than is any other attempt to restrict produc-
tion, except by discouraging tbe ubo of inferior animals.

The supply of pure-bred cattle equals the present demand
at any satisfactory range of prices. But the posMl le demand
iB far in excess of the supply. Ail the registered cattle of all
the improved breeds iu the Unit el States would not, in num-
ber, replace the berda of any Sta<e or Teiritory in the UnioD,
save only Rhode Island and Delaware. It is the exception,
not the rule, to find herds the chief purpose of which if the
production of dairy products or steers, composed of pure-
bred animals. The large majority of bulls used throughout
the country, as a whole, are not pure bred. Improvement
of most of the herds of the country has been only iodirectiy,
if at all, by the use of pure bred Bires and dams.

The least demand for improved cattle is usually found in
re2ioos where there is most need of improvement; the best
demand from regions in which are already found a goodly
number of fairly good cattle. Improving the average merit
ordinarily increases the desire and ability to secure cattle of
the highest excellence.

Experience has shown that records of pbenomensl results,
either in milk-production or in beef-making, are not more ef-
fective in securing favorable regard for any freed by farmers
generally than is accumulation of evidence of comparatively
moderate results under conditions closely approximating
those under which ihe better c'ass of cattlemen must place
th«ir stock.

It would be exceedingly nowise if the breeders of any class
of cattle which has deservedly won reputation as possessing
superior excellence for either one of the two great purpopes
for which we keep cattle, to purposely or carelessly suffer
any loss in this regard.

The highest prices, Bnd perhaps the largest profit?, will be
secured by those who can produce animals or families which
naturally or by skillfnl development are able to show the
largest yields of milk or butter, ur the most or best beef.

It would be equally unwise for the friendB of any breed of
cattle to fail to magnify the fact, if it be a fact, that its meritB
ar6 not all in one direction. To fail to do this, is to fail to in-
vite appreciation by very many cattle breeders, who insist
tbat they are so situated that they most need cattle with
symmetrical, rather than special, development.

The special friends of the most numerona and wisely dis-
tributed breed cf imported cattle in the United States, are
now officially and privately announcing their belief that the
former policy of giving attention to the developement of this
breed for one purpose only, was a mistaken one, and are
officially encouraging the opposite policy.

It has been preferred in this paper to state principles, and
leave their application to intelligent cattle breeders. Com-
parison of breeds is not necessary here. The breed of cattle
to the interests of which this Association is devoted, Btands
in the front rank as reeards milk prodnction- Cows belong-
ing to it have extraordinary rec >rds as butter producers.
Clearly it should be ranked among the dairy breads, It has
characteristic-* which commend it to many farmers, who are
not distinctively dairymen. Its large s^ze aud the rapid
growth of the calves are greatly in its favor. Rarely has any
breed of farm animals long maintained wide-spread popu-
larity among farmers unless it was above medium size. An
honorable record has been made in beef productiouin a com-
paratively small number of cases. Grades and crosses of
this breed have given large gains for food consumed, and
very large weights for age, in manv trials.

Inspection of noted herds, or the animals exhibited at
leading fairs, show that there is a considerable difference in
the type preferred by leading bre-ders. Some evidently at-
tach much more importance to ihe supposed typical mdk
form than do others. Plentiful illustrations are io be found
of fiael}1 bred bulls, and cows ot this breed which would
Bhow creditably in any collection of beef cattle.

Is it wise to admit that this breed, which has grown in
popularity so rapidly, which has so many friends among the
most intelligent of cattle breeders, is and can be adapted on-
ly to the needs of one divis-on of the smallest of thr-ie great
classes iDto which the cattle owners of the United States are
to be divided ?— Address read before the late meeting of the

in 18S7- There is ah o a decrease in the value of horses ex-
ported to the United States, while the chief gain has been in
the export to other countries, doubtless due to the large num-
ber of thoroughbreds taken to South America. Tbe number
of stallions exported to tbe Uoited States was 524, acainst

The London Live-Stock Journal, reviewing the 35th vol-

its respects to the "men — who conceive themselves to be

their impatience and dislike when any mention is made of
and quadruped beiog any better for a pedigree" and adds:

"It is a suggestive fact that the chief supporters of the
whole series of registers of horses, cattle, sheep and swine,
have been for the year past, the dwellers in the great Amer-
ican republic. It seemB as if the vcrv vastness of their conn-
try, and the inconceivable variety of admixtures of races
among its present inhabitaut?, has made the Americans moro
alivp than we are ourselves to the value of breeding within
restricted limits. Wbil« not attempting to disguise our in-

BASE BALL.

A Brotherhood of California Players Beine:
Agitated— Kelly's Arrival in Town.

There is a scheme being agitated among the members of
the California League Clubs which, if huccessfully carried
oat, will send chill* up and down the backs of alesiie. Monre,
Harris FiuuaudRo iusoo faster than Dauny Long can steal
ba^es or "General" O'Neill wag bis tongue. The players of
the several clubs have long been dissatisfied with what they
consider their unfair treatment by the Moguls who eoniro.
the League, and for some time past have been deviling
means of getiiug hold of more of the eilv.r dollars that are
regularly pmred into the bos offices than have been mettd
out to then).

For the pist two weeks little groap3 of ball tossers may
have been seen earnestly conversing; but opon the approach
of an outsider their seriuosuess would vanish, and a pro-
found silence woul 1 ensue, or the liebt, flippant remarks of
a hippy, careless lot, would succeed the secret confab. AH
attempt ,o learn thesubj^ct of .luse conferences were futile,
nod though everybody, in any way connected with the game,
knew that sime thing omisubl was in the wind, the truth diri
not le ik out till one day this week, when enough of the con-
versation of half a dozen wdl known players was overheard
by a member of the Breeder and Sportsman staff to con-
vince him tbat the great scheme was nothing more nor less
than the establishment of a Brotherhood of California pl*y-

ers.

After tM knot of athletes had broken up the reporter ap-
proached one of the uumbsr. who, by the way, is une of the
most popniar men in the League, and in au off hand niinuer
aske i how the Ciliforoia Brotherhood scheme was progress-
in». The one addressed gave a quick start of surprise, and
blurted out, ■*Ho*' the deuce did yon get onto the snap?"

The reporter said it made no difference how he louud it
out; it was sufficient for the other to know that the well-
guarded seciet ha 1 been made known to him.

A lone reflection on the part of the player ensued, and he
finally admitted tbat such a plan hai been discussed, but no
deinite action had been taken.

After a great deal of urging, and first obtaining a promise
not to divulge any names, the gent tenia, u consented to talk
of the proposed plan. "You see," he said, 'the boys have
felt for a long lime that they were not gatiiog a square shake
from the managers. Our salaries n«ve been ridiculuu-dy
email considering the receipts of the California League. In
addition, tines have been nailed onto us in a most reckless
manner. Several of the players got together about two
months ago and discussed the advisability of making a kick
of same kind next season. After considering some proposi-
tions, it was decided to await the outcome of the big tight in
the Nitional League before taking any action.

"The Brotherhood p!an his proved such a success there
that many of the boys want to try the same racket here.
Players have been talked to one at a iime. and with two or
possibly three exceptions all are in favor of the Bcheme. We
nave every reason to believe that the California patrons of
the game are favorably aisposed towards us and would aid us
with their patronage if we uudertook sucj a pi -in. A meeting
will probab'y be called in a week or two, when we will organ-
ize, and then we can betdn the real work.

"We have in v.ew suitable grounds for a ball park conven-
ient to two linss t f cab'e cars, and cm readily obtain the cap-
ital necessary to fit them up Where the outside clubs will
be located I cannot deiuitely state, but Fresno and Siera-
mento will probably be in the new league. E ich club will
be incorporated and sufficient stock will be issued to place it
on a solid financial basis. Yes; I guess we can make the mag-
nates hustle a little."

The advent of the Boston team on the local diamond has
maintained the inter, st in base b -11 even though the cham-
pionship sea ion has ended. TheBjanvile men are a great
team and are playing the best ki~d of ball they know now.
Their work on the oiamo id is a revelation <o local "fans,"
who, judging by the showing made by the California clubs
against the New York-, Chicago and AU Americans, thought
the former could play ball with any of them; but the easy
yet unerring way ia which Hart's Combination handled
them -it Ives amp'y proves that agaiost a tiret class team the
home players are not in it. By the way, it was fun to Bee
the visitors pick out one of "SisBy" Wehrles' best last San-
dav whenever they needed a hit. No strike-outs there when
a hit meant a run.

K *j£ K Uy, the Boston "beiuty," and contraat
jumper, struck town last Monday and his been turning
himself loise ever since. He is out here for the pur-
pose of ioducms 'he members of Harl'i combination to also
breik their coo'.iao s and j in the Brotherhood and claims lo
i.ave s c ired sever d nismbtu of the team. Kelly has prom-
ised Mr. Hart to catch for the Boston's in Sunday's game,
bat no dependenca can be pla;ed on bis promise. In any
event the people on this coast have not forgotten the outra-
geous manner iu which he went back on Spalding a year ago
after signing a contract to play with the All Americans, and
should he appeir on the locul diamond he would not be ac-
corded as hearty a welcome as he receives in Bome of the
Eastern cities.

It would tie interesting to know jnst what the reasons are
that induced the Board of Directors of the California League
to award Oiklaid the championship, when even Robinson's
lawyers admit ed i hey had no case and that the pennant
rightfully belonged to Stn Francisco. Director Campbell
Baid the reason ne voted as he did was because Finn admit-
ted tbat he would have claimed the championship had his
team wo o the exhibition game. This is Uughable, but the
public is unwilling to accent Direc'or Campbell's admission
thai he is an idiot. As though Finn's el iim tto the pennant
on those grounds would have settled the matter.

Clarke has returned East and has h ft nothing lint the
plewantest reooHeotioD of bin great witching abilities and
gentlemanly oond id. It is hoped that he will return to Cal-
ifornia iu the near future.

The makeup of the California League for the season of 1890
has not yet been decided upou. AU that has been settled is
that the league will be composed of six Clubs, as Stockton
hasconclnded !<i r uiu its franchise another year. This is
good news for the pa'rous ol the game.

A rumor has been goiug the ronnis that the League
groun's were bo be move! to the end of Castro Street Cable-
road President Mone when asked about it s-ud there was
ab Hitcly nothing in the report. The Haight Street grouuds
nry owned by the Southern Pacific Compa-jy and the League
L. rectors have an iron clad lease whicn will not expire Foi
f '0 years. They are entirely satisfied with the grounds, and

,11 not move until they are compelled to, and then they

11 take new grounds that are accesnable to more than one
»t« of cars

Jim Hart will not decide whether he will take the Bostons
to Honolulu, until the nest steamer from there arrives.
Should he conclude to make the trip, he will be gone three
weeks, thus shjiteniug the team's stay in this city that length
of time.

Finn, at the meeting of the Directors last Saturday night,
filed a protest against Robinson being allowed to remain in
the League. As the meeting was a special one, the protest
could not be acted up^n.

BOD.

Fish Commission.

The monthly meeting of the Commission was held at 220
Sutter street, on Tuesday afternoon last. Present, Hon,
Joesph Rontier and Hon. J. DowDey Harvey. The minutes
of the preceding meeting were read and approved.

The report of Chief of Patrol F. P. Callandan wa3 then
read, as follows:

monthly report of chief of patrol f. p. calluxdan.

The Honorable Board of Fish Commissioners— Gen-
tlemen:— In prestntiug a report of the workings of your
deputies for the month of November, 1SS9, I beg leave to
speak in praise of the gentlemen commissioced by your Board
as Deputies. They have invariably been prompt in carrying
out suggestions, and in so far as I can judge, have been
scrupulously discreet and faithful whenever perplexing or
embarrassing emergencies have been presented. Their
methods of working bave been closely studied, and in several
particulars it seemB possible by slight changes to
iucrease the efficiency of the system. Such changes
will be made, and it is hoped that at the next meeting
of the Board even greater results can be mentioned than
those now laid before you. The Honorable Board will
remember that at the date of my last report three
very important cases were pending, viz: That of the people
vs Siwyer Tanning Company of Napa; the People vs. vV. R.
Knight & Co. of Sacramento, and the People vs. two com-
panies of Cbinese fishermen at jMartinez. I have to report
that in the first case a decision adverse to the Board of Fish
Commissioners was rendered on Nov. 23rd by Jnstice Thomp-
son of Napa. In tne decision he suggests one or two points
in testimony which he thinks might have beau strengthened.
The suggestions have been noted, and in future prosecution
the weaknesses will be guarded against. Justice Thomp-
son's dtcision was as follows: —

[Justice Thompson's decision was published in this paper
last week. — Ed.]

In prosecuting the Sawyer matter the greatest alertness
and energy were shown by the special counsel for the Board.
Henry Hogan E=q., of Napa, and its merely his due to say
that but for bis assistance the matter would have gone by de-
fault.

In the case of Knight, Justice Devine. of Sacramento,
stood for the prosecution upon grounds which have not been
written in so far as I know, out the jury failed to agree which
was excepted to by Assistant District Att'y A. J. Brnner, and
whioh in his opinion afforded room for successful appeal to
th Superior Court.

The Martin z ess against Chinese fishermen has been de-
cided in favor of the prosecnlion after a re-trial, and the de-
cision will go near to stopping illegal fishing in San Pablo
Biy and alo og the Contra Costa shore.

On November 1st, before Hon. Judge Lawler in this city,
two Chiuese were convicted and fined $50 each for fishing
anlawfully.

On the 6th, the case at Martinez came on regularly for
trial. Defendants demanded a jury triai and Deputy Reilly
was sent to Marinez a day before the trial to guard the in-
terests of this Board.

On the morning of the trial, Deputies Carley and F. H.
Ci.lundan went to Martinez, and all three of the officers
testified conclusively for the prosecution. A demurrer was
interposed by the defense that there was a misjoinder of par-
ties, and the demurrer was sustained by Justice Mills who
instructed the jury to acquit. The jury retired and after
twenty-five minutes, returned a verdict of guilty despite the
ordui: of tha judge. Judge Mills set aside the verdict and or-
dered a new trial for November 16th.

November 9-h wis passed at Napa, testifying in the Sawyer
Tannery case. At the hour of adjournment the testimony
was incomplet?,lbut other engagements of the court compelled
the setting over of the cise uutil November 12th, at which
time the testimony was closed and the matter taken under
advisement.

Deputies Reilly, Curley and F. H. Cillundan, on Novem-
ber 9th, arrested three Chinese hawkers for having in their
possession the young of fish. Two pleaded guilty aud were
fined $50 each.

On the lhh Deputy Tonstead found in possession of the
firm of Christy & Wise, San Erancisco, deer skins from which
all specific evidencs of sex had been removed, aud Mr, Wise
wa3 held to answer for the misdemeanor on November 13 h.

On the 15th, by my direction, Deputy Tunstead filed com-
plaint against the firm of Clayburgh and Waldeck of this cicy
for having in possession deer hides without evidences of sex,
and on the same day the firm of Cahen Bros., also of San
Francisco, was also apprehended with similar skins in its
possession. Both firms were ordered to appear before Judge
Rix for trial.

November 16th was spent at Martinez trying the Chinese
big net case, aud after a trial in which I feel bound to state
that for the defense there was more perjury than I had ever
before seen, the jury returned a verdict for the defendants.
The sania defendants were held to appear on Nov. 30th for
having small fish in their possession.

The oaso agaiost Cahen Bros. wa3 partially heard before
Judge Rix on Nov 21st, and then postponed until Nov. 23d,
at which time it wbb again postponed until some day in De-
cember.

On November 21st Deputies Reilly, Carley and F. H. Cal-
luudau captured three Chintse junks in San Pablo Bay with
twelve Chinese bag nets aud smull fish, aud tonk them to
Martinez, where they will be tried on December .">th.

November 23 1 was at Napa to receive the decision of Jus-
tice Thompson, whioh appears elsewhere in this report.

Deputies Reilly aud Curley, on November 25th, arrested
thirteen Cuiuese at South San Fruucisco with boats, net-*
aud small fish. The case has not yet been set for trial.

The decision in the Martinez oate for having small fish in
possession was rendered on December 2ud, and is us follows;
The live men already couvicted weie fined one hundred dol-
lars each. The other five whoBe trial had yet to come, imme-
diately pushed for an instant trial, thiuking that beoause
Mr. F. H. Calluudau was the only witness preBent for the
prosecution they might break down the oase.

Judge Mills finally consented to hear the case and it was
tried on December 2nd without a jury. After a patient hear-
ing Judge Mills found four of the men guilty as charged aud
fined them sixty-five dollars each. The fifth man could not
be positively identified.

Ihe actual work done is but poorly recited within the
space proper to this report, but it may be said in general
terms that the deputies of the Board are actively engaged
every day in carrying out the directions of the Board. S.nce
the pushing of prosecutions against hide dealers, tanneries
and transportation companies the skin buyers along the rail-
way lines to the northern partslof the State no longer ship by
rail, but send their hides to the coast, where they are placed
on board the coisting schooners and steam vessels aud are
brought to San Francisco in tbat wav. Discovery of this fact
has doubled the work of the deputies, since they are com-
pelled to watch tb.6 whole city front. A suggestion in rela-
tion to fish has been made and it is respsctfnlly offered for
the action of the Board.

It is the habit of many men to visit the streams along the
eoast at this season of the year, and take therefrom by hook
and line and other means, small fish weighing from one-
quarter pound np to three or four pounds of the salmon or
salmon trout families When remonstrated with, the plea is
set up that the fish are not trout nor salmon trout, but are
salmon. It is aDparent that if the fish are salmon, they are
the young of salmon, the catching of which is specifically
prohibited by Section 63G of the Penal Code at any time. If
the fish are salmon tioot, tLey cannot legally be caught
between November 1st and April 1st of toe succeeding year.
On either h&rn of the dilemma, the catchers are impaled, and
iu behalf of those who fish legitimately, in proper season for
the fish which populate the coast streams, it is recommended
that the deputies of the Board be inytructed to arrest all per-
sons found with trout, salmon tront, or the young of salmon
in possession.

The labors of the Board are meeting appreciation in every
quarter, except among those who v olate the law.
Respectfully submitted,

F. P. CalldndaNj Chief of Patrol.

The resignation of Deputy Fish Commissioner Frank
Anaya of Modesto, was tendered and accepted.

Letters from Chicago. Wichita Kansas, and Oklahoma
offering to furnish Bob While quails were read, and prices
varied from $2 65 to §4 per dozen. The Board decided to
await further offers before taking action.

The matter of appointing deputies in various parts of the
State, whose especial interest should be the enforcement of
the game laws, wos discussed. The Commission had no
means at command to pay such appointees, but if the Chief
of Patrol desired, as he was called from place t« place, to se-
lect proper men for appointment as deputies there could be
no objection, and both President Rontier and Secretary
Harvey were willing to lend all a sistance possible.

After the payment of outstanding bills the Comm'usiou
adjourned to meet at call of the President.

A Muddled Law.

An error in the authorized edition of the Fish and Game
law of New York, last published, is causing confusion in
that State. The law of 1S86 allowed the killing of deer until
December 15th, but an amendment pas=ed and approved in
1SS8 prohibited the killing of deer and the sale of veoison
after November 15th. This amendment was omitted from
the official publication of the laws, and the authorities have
therefore neglected or declined to arrest offenders. But on
November 19th Eugene G. Blackford, President of the State
FiBhery Commission, made official publication of the deter-
mination of the Commission to prosecute offenders, as notice
of the law as amended had been sent throughout the State
for general information. Dr. William Kidd, State Game Pro-
tector, haB issued similar notice in protection of other game
and offenders will be duly punished. A dealer in whose pot-
session trapped, partridges were found, exposed for sale, was
compelled to pay full penalty, and for shooting quail and
rabbits out of stason a farmer was likewise mulcted. The
laws for the protection of game are enforced in the Empire
State— as they Bhonld be in California and in every other
State. A fine serves as an exemplary remembrance* to any
who require something more than mere notice of the law.

New Eoglifah Raojpg Rules.

The revised Rules of R&ciLg iiava been passed, and come
into operation in 1890. Most of them have either been
shortened oradded too, bnt some are new, as for instance
in Part XIX., Role HI. Rapier in the Snorting & Dramat-
ic News &a>s: This sound suggestion was, I believe, framed
by Sir George Chetwynd. It runs as follows: "An owner
runting two or more horses in a race, may declare to win
with one of them, and such declaration must be made at
scale. A jjekey riding a horse with which the owner has
i ot declared to win, most on no account stop such horse
except m favor of the Btable companion on whose behalf dec-
laration to wiu has been made." Under the old rules no
lime was indicated for a declaration; inJeed, there was no
rule about it, and it was only, therefore, a custom which
laid itself open to the following possible fraud:— \u unscrup-
ulous owner might run two horses in a race, one likely to be
a hot favorite Jrom its public form, and the other a dark-
worthless animal. He might put a g-od pokey on the for-
mer and tell him, just as he was mounting, to goto the post
that he had declared to win with his other horse, and therel
f »re the favorite was oo no account to come near Of course
the moment the numbers went up the fraudulent owner
would get someone to lay against the fancied horse, and then
only at the la.t moment would he go to the Clerk of the
S^oules and tell him he declared lo win with the dark horse.
The official would hardly have time to notify this fact on
be number board before the horses would be running I
believe the original idea of declarations was to enable' an
owner to try aud win a two-year-old race with the penalised
animal of_ the two and thus save the maiden allowance of
his other norse which was supposed capable of winning the
race easily ,f no dtrclarat.on were made; and a very valuable
luing for the owner in the days when maiden allowances
were permitted ,n tha Middle Park Plate, besides the many
valuable three-year-old sweepstakes that are still fashionable,
and which contain allowances for maidene. It is singular
no hard and fast rule should have been made before now

Gentlemen: — "We have used OSSIDINIS for the past two years,
and consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Jlin«bonc, and
Spavins; there is nothing equals it : and for us it effected a permanent
cure where firing failed, although performed by one of the most suc-
cessful veterinarians on the continent. We have recommended it to
others with like success, and believe it has more merit than any blister
ever used. Very respectfully vours,

S. A. BROWNE & CO., Prop's.

This scientific preparation is an absolute cure
forall bouy or callous lumps on horses, and is a
more powerful absorbent than " firing," with-

SUESCHIPTIOK
FIVE DOLLARS A YEAB.

Simply An Episode.

HABTEY W. PECK.

We were trotting a few raceB "around the stove." The
pace had grown alow and the going a trifle heavy. Finally
one of our nnmber polled himself together and interrogated:

"Say, would yon all mind assuming an air of interest for a
few minutes, if I agree to tell you an experience of mine?"

"We informed him, collectively, that our interest should
never flag during the recital.

"Well," he continued, "you all know a horse that I owned
several years ago. As you are aware, he had masqueraded
under many different names in about as many different
places, and bis managers hopped him from place to place,
with a vigor "and determination that caused great admiration
among their friends, and greater consternation among their
enemies. The campaign they made with him rivaled in suc-
cess the piratical career of Small Hopes many years ago, ex-
cepting that he oould not go as fast as Small Hopes. Like
Small Hopes, too, their scheme came to a sudden termina-
tion. They started their horse ia the 2:50 class in a town in
the northeastern part of this State, near the Nevada line. In
this race they called the horse Joe Elliott. In this same race
was a very clever local horse. The local horse sold favorite,
and the betting was lively.

Elliott's owners patronized the pool box liberally, and soon
stood to win a large sum of money. The other two entries
were known to have no chance of winning, and interest cen«
tered in the local horse and Joe Elliott. When the race was
called, the local horse had the pole and Elliott was outside.
His driver laid up the heat, thinkiDg the odds would be bet-
ter, but the crowd was a tiifle afraid of the stranger, though
they thought their horse could certainly win.

In the second heat Elliott cut out the work, but his driver
was surprised to 6nd the local horse still at his wheel at the
half mile post. He let go of Elliott a little, but the other
horse stuck like a shadow. At the head of the stretch
Elliott had a shade the best of it, aud after a driving finish,
won by a head in 2:3CU, distancing the other two horses. The
first heat had been trotted in 2:41.

The local sports were demoralized aDd realized when too
late that they were done for. They kicked like old time
sand-loiters; they visited first the judges' stand, hut the
jadges said they could see nothing wrong; they next visited
the pool bos and in a commanding tone, told the poolseller
that their money shoald never be paid to E liotfc's owners,
etc., etc. The pool man gazed at them much as if reading a
circus poster, but said notbing. Their third visit was made
to the tar and there they were cordial'y received, and the
bartender who waited upon them joined them in characteri-
zing the race a "job," though in reality the bartender did not
even know what horse3 were in the race. This attribnte is
not conBned to bartenders alone, either, as you all know.

After the local garg had made tbese rounds the judges
called up the horses for tbe next heat. At this junctare an
old farmer who had raised Elliott and owned him till he was
five years old, drove up to the track. When the horses were
scoring he said to a friend beside him: "Pears to me I know
thet brown hoss—wby, course thet's the hoss I raised my-
self— 'cept this hoss ain't got no white in his face, and mine
had considerable."

After a still farther examination, the farmer was convinced
that Joe Elliott was the horse he had owned in Amador Co.,
some years before. These suspicions reaching the aforemen-
tioned kickers they promptly brought the facts before the
judges. They instituted an investigation, and when the mar-
shal of the track tried a little kerosene on Elliott's face, the
jig was up. They ruled off Elliott for a year; his owners
for life; and declared the pools off. Afterward I bought him.

Now, to get down to my experience, I had owned Elliott,
alias Tom, Dick, Harry and the Devil, for a couple of years,

and what little driving I gave him satisfied me that he was
faster than ever — I had driven him a half in 1:14 — and hav-
ing a slieht touch of brigandage in my own disposition I
longed to tackle some horse and make his owners wish for
the Resurrection morn.

At last the occasion presented. I got wind of a horse in
Siskiyou County that was deemed by the local talent invinci-
ble. Well, I took along Joe , whom you all kriow tobea

fair hustler of a horse, and Delaney, my partner. You,
every one of you, remember that hunting excursion that De-
laney, Joe and myself took to Siskiyou? Of course you do.
We took a good team, loaded on plenty of provisions, put my
horse's harness into the wagon and tied him behind. We
also bad a gun apiece and lots of ammunition. We also had
about $2400 in coin and greenbacks, in case we could get a
race.

Journeying along by easy stages we had a splendid time,
shot some game and always managed to get to a stream or
some wayside stopping place where we could get hay and
grain for the trotter.

At the end of ten days we were close to our destination. We
held a council of war and concluded that we would get board
of a farmer near town and keep the horse there, and gradual-
ly work up a race. Accordingly we carried out this plan,
posed as land buyers and between times went hunting.

At the expiration of about a week the owner of "our
prey" — as we termed the Siskiyou County horse amongst our-
selves— was shown me by a man whose acquaintance I bad
formed since my arrival. I looked at the man indicated. He
was gray haired, hooked-nosed, and about 50 years old I
should think. He was standing alone. His hands were in
his pockets, his pipe was in his mouth and his eyes were on
the ground.

The next day I met him, and after a time I turned the con-
versation upon horses in general and trotting horses in par-
ticular. He vouchsafed the information tbat he had a pret-
ty good horse himself. I inquired the animal's nr.me and he
answered 'Saxon." I replied that I had a fair horse, but
short of work, a trifle fat. etc., etc., for I wanted to let myself
down as light as possible. To my surprise and inward satis-
faction the old man assumed an air of braggadocio, and said
waa willing to "tiot his horse agin eny horse in the
hull country." This tickled me nearly lo death, for I had been
informed that the entire surrounding country would go broke
if this horse was beaten a race. I carefully concealed my
joyous symptoms from the old man, and replying tbat I
wasn't looking for horse races, I left him and rejoined De-
laney aDd Joe. When I communicated the Dews to them
they laughed immoderately, and Joe said: "By hockey
we'll flag the old devil if hell stay with us. Did you ever see
this horse Saxon?" I answered tbat I never had. ''Well,"
.be continued, "I have, and he's a skinny old brute, with a
nose like a parrot." I told him that the- same skinny old
devil had lots of speed, and although we could beat him, it
wasn't a walkover by any means.

To make a loDg story a little shorter, we mafe a race inside
the next two days between Sason and Redmond (that's what
I called my horse) for 6250 a side, and put up the money in
the hands of a director of their bank. The race was to come
off in a week, and the conditions were mile heats 3 in 5, with
no specifications as to drivers.

I moved my horse to the track, and Joe and I looked after
him in good shape, and at night Joe slept in the stable.
Saxon and a couple of men tbat took care of him also came
out to the track. One of. these men jogged the horse every
day, but never drove him very fast. Two things kind ot
worried me; the first was that I knew neither of these men
was to drive the horse, for I oould see they could not drive
any; and the second was tbat the old man or none of his
friends had even asked my horse's name, or even wanted lo
look at him when the race was first made. These things

somehow impressed me strangely, for I thought it might be
possible they knew something about my horse.

I imparted my fears to Joe, who ridiculed the idea, and
said we were too far from home; that the horEe was clipped,
and that it was absurd to talk about any one knowing him.
I finally coincided with his view, and made up my mind
definitely to take every dollar we could get bet.

The day of the race came; a nice day, track in good shape,
and Redmond was full of trot. Along about one o'clock the
people were so thick that I wondered to myself where they
all came from. All the men had money, and wanted to back
Saxon. Shortly before the race started, my partner and my-
self had our $2,400 all up, and I guess we could have bet
that much more if we had only had it.

I tell you now I thought we had a picnic, and cursed to
myself because we didn't have more moDey.

Just then the old man tbat owned Saxon came up and
asked me to pick a judge. After a little while I found one;
the old man got his, and the pair of 'em picked the third
judge.

A week previous I had secured a good sulky, and thus was
in apple-pie fix. About fifteen minutes before time to start,
Saxon came on the track pulling a 45-pound trnsB-asle sulky,
and driven — did I see aright — by one of the best known
drivers on the coast at that time. I hadn't supposed this
man in L50 miles of us, and I felt a vague feeling ot alarm at
his presence.

Just then Joe came out with my horse, and I called to
him, and after reaching him I walked along beside the sulky.

I asked him if he'd seen thewell-known driver, and he said
he had seen him when he drove onto the track with 'parrott-
nose," as he always persisted in calling Saxon. I said, "Well,
Joe, we might as well win right off the reel; no use in laying
up a heat, as we've bet all our money now that we brought."

"The devil you have," sail Joe; "good, we will make the
clip fast enough to melt parrott-nose."

Slightly after two o'clock f be horses were Cbl!ed out, my
horse having the pole. As I climbed into the timer's stand I
looked up the stretch and saw Saxon's owner. He was stand-
ing alone, his hands were in his pockets, his pipe was in his
mouth, and his eyes were on the grcuDd.

The horses then scored up and were recalled. I noticed
:on was very speedy and good-gaited. At the second
score tbe Presiding Judge" rang the bell (in those days they
vied by the word, you know), and they were off,
amid the low murmur of the assembled throng. The horses
went level to the quarter— and as I looked at my watch it
marked 3S* seconds. Down the hackstretcb Joe urged Red-
mond a little, and when they passed tbe half in 1:16 my
horse was leading a length. I knew he was a game and reli-
ablo horse, and I'll tell you cow I thought I had dead medi-
cine. Erom the half to the head of the stretch the positions
were unchanged, but down the straight Saxon closed up a
little and was only ^beaten by a head in 2:31. Don't you
know I didn't feel just right. Somehow, I thought that Sax-
on could have gone faster in tbe stretch. These thoughts
flashed through my mind as I descended from the stand
with some others. The Judges raog the bell, and announced
amidst almost complete silence that "Redmond wins the heat
Saxon second; time, 2:31," which was what I had it. Just
then my attention was attracted to my partner, who had
been watching the heat from a spring wagon outside the
track. He was waving his hat and yelling:

"Hurrah for Redmond, no old skin in Siskiyou can down
him and don't you forget it."

Nobody hurrahed but him, but several men did come up
and offer to bet him plenty of money tbat Saxon would win.
He didn't like to confess that he had no more to bet, so] said
he had bet all he wanted to.

As for me, I hastened to the stall and help:

"Bather tight wort, Joe, that heat," I said.

"Yes, that horse surprised roe. but thiB horse could have
gone faster." ,

"Well, I don't know, do yon know that the time was :31?

"Don't care if 'twas :21, this horse could have got there
plumb three seconds faster than he did."

As imy be iungined, this made me feel at ease with the
whole world, and I felt for the time being as though it was
wrong to take advantage of these people, and then I thought
of the $2,400 I would win, and my mind was busy thinking
what I would do with it, when the horses were called for the
second heat. As I walked toward the stand, several differ,
ent men tackled me to bet on the race, and I told them flatly
that nothing would please me better, but that I had up al-
ready all the money I had with me and so couldn't bet. The
second heat was almost the same as the first, except the half
was made in 1,15, with Sa::oo a length back as before. By
the lime they got straightened out in the stretch, however,
the parrot-nosed devil cam9 up to my horse, and after lots of
whipping and yelling by both drivers, Saxon won the heat
by half a length in 2:28*.

You oould have knocked me down by looking at me! In
spite of all I could do the blood rose to my face and I walked
to the other side of the stand and looked across toward the
backstretch so that nobody could Bee my face. I stood there
and like a man in a dream, I heard the judge say, "Saxon
first, Redmond second, time 2:2Si." "My horse is beaten
right now" kept going through my head. After the timers
and everybody had left the stand, I went down too, and
straight to the stall. As I got close to Joe I muttered:

"By the eternal, Joe, that horse can beat us."

Joe looked glum, but his eyes sparkled excitedly as he an-
swered:

"Tom, I'll tell you this much. If that damned horse can
come two more heats like he did this last one, he'll beat ua
sure, for thiB horse was doing all he could. I told yon he
conld go three seconds faster than the first heat and he nearly
done it this time last, bnt it wasn't fast enough. There's no
telling how faBt that parrot-nosed brute can go," and while
Joe was still talking I walked away.

You fellows grin, but if you had been in my place you
would have felt as I did, and that was ur'ghty nervous. I
saw my partner leaning against the track fence. As I ap-
proached he was saying in a mechanical tone, "Blankety
blank his long-haired hide. Blankety blank the long-eared,
parrott-headed, slabsided brute, with a head like a giraffe
and a hind leg like a pump handle. May the devil fly away
with him!"

Several years afterwards, when I told a mutual friend of
or.rs what he said on that occasion he denied it, but he said
it just the same, and I'll swear to it if need be.

Saxon won the third heat in :271 and the fourth in :27,
beating my horse a little each heat, anl I knew he conld
have trotted a mile in 2:25 if it had been necessary. Well,
I was sick, and my partner, Joe and I sat down on the straw
in the stall while our horse munched a mash Joe had given
him. The horse had trotted a hard and tedious race, (for
the last two heatB Joe, had scored Saxon until he was fined
twice, in the effort to wear him out, but he couldn't do it,)
indeed he went a better race than he ever had Bincehis prime,
tini6hiog every heat with the whip ringing out over him for
the last quarter. So I couldn't blame the horse, you Bee, he
did his best, but we were simply over-matched, and the on-
ly thing that was left us was experience.

Joe broke the silence. He said "I never will go two or
three hundred miles from home again to take in somebody,
and then get beat by a lanky-parroit nosed horse that lives
on eawdust— never again." We didn't say anything; we
had nothing to say. but we felt a whole lot I can tell you.
The next day we hitched up, packed our traps into the wa-
gon and headed for home feeling glad we had a home to go
to. Yon know how anybody feels that way?

As we drove into town— for we had to go through it sever-
al acquaintances waved us farewell, while otters, ironcally
we thought invited us to return. To this invitation Joe
made such a highly flavored answer that I won't repeat it.

We had proceeded about half way through the town — and
a pretty enough place it is— when we were stopped by a man
named Gray, We had got well acquainted with Gray
who was a good square man. As he came up he said,

"I've Bomethingto tell you thought maybe you would like
to hear it." Do you know what he told ub? He told us by
the beard of Mohammet that we had been duped inslead of
doping anybody. It turned out that the owner of Saxon
aivl several of hia friends had been angling for us for several
months. No use to go into explanation — it makes me mad
yet— I found out all about it afterwards.

We thanked Gray and drove on. Jnst as we were leaving
the town I npied the old devil himself. By that I mean
Saxon's owner. He was standing alone, his hands were in
hia pockets, bis pipe was in his month, his eyes were on the
Rir.nnd. As a native of Arabia would say, "May Jackals
polish hia bones."

An Important Transaction.

The in ;st important business transaction that confronts

■iculturist, is the purchase and selection of seeds and

orchard stock. No matter how well posted and excellent a

man's judgment may be, when it comes to buying seeds

lants, he la largely at the mercy of the dealer, who, if

jnscrupulous, can do him irreparable injury. Too great

care cannot bo exercised In selecting a dealer of established

reputation for reliability. Such a concern is the well known

Gossip Prom a Private Letter.

The following interesting gossip about California flyers,
says the American Cultivator, is from a private lefter to Mr.
Wesley P. Balch, of Boston: "The country here is looking
as green as with you in June, and our early barley feed up
to eight inches. It looks now as though we would have a
mild winter with green feed all the way. Oar horses are all
doing well (at San Mateo Ranch) with the exception of a lit-
tle distemper among the weanlings. Sable Wilkes' first crop
of colts are very fine, and in the corral show lots of speed
and breeding. Goldsmith came home the other day with his
trotters. HiB last race was with Regal Wilkes, a stake
racs aud a walk-over in 2:20}. He meant to have driven him
in 2:20, tut went his first quarter too slow. He could have
easily heaten 2:20. and good horsemen like Quinton says he
could have beaten 2. IS. He is a wonder, and worth more
than any colt raised on this place; as fine a looker as you
ever saw, dark blood b.y, form perfect and feet and legs like
steel, head and ears rather large, but carried well when in
motion. He has the old horse's disposition and lasting qual-
ities, and can't help making a race horse. Lillian Wilkes,
2:17}, we brought tome in September, and are doing noth-
ing with her, excepting to put on a light blister. Her injury
is nothing serious, and most horsemen would have continued
using her. Bazel Wilkes did well this year. She is a great
filly to come home, but a poor one to get away. Her sister
Una got a recorel of 2:30, and will make a good four-year-old
next season. I wish you would keep track of the two-year-
old colt Silver Spray, brother to Hazel Wilkes and Una, sold
to a mau in Boston at the Kellogg sale last spring. He
should make a fast colt and laster as well. Goldsmith says
that he coald easily have put him into the thirty list this
year. He was a colt that wanted lotB of work, and conld
stand it. What do yon think of Snnol, 2:101; a great exhibi-
tion niare, isn't she? Palo Alto, too, and Stamboul! Craw-
ford had rather a close call for his $5,000 bet with Rose, on
2:12 time. Should the weather clear off, and have good day
and track, ho may knock off that one-quarter second, but
Mr. Crawford will watch the performance very sharp. Craw-
ford was at ranch a few days since, and wanted Mr. Corbitt
to put a price on Regal Wilkes, but he is not for sale. What
has got into your New England breeders? Your youDgstera
are all going for tiu-oup records, and Kentuckians as well.
Such records don't countonthere, where we have race horses.
I see the horsemen are stirring up the Nelson Alcryon race.
Hope there was nothing crooked in it, but to us here it looks
a trifle so. We are breaking our yearlings now, and some of
them are showing very well. Will probably have two two-
year-old fillies out of Nutwood dams to go through the cir-
cuit with next vear."

I have long used Simmons Liver Regulator for my horses,
cows Bheep and chickens. To my horses I give a teaspoon-
ful of the powder in a mash three times a week, I find it
invaluable for Cough, Hide-bound or Pneumonia. Giving it-
to my game chickens for Cholera I have not lost one in the
last five years. I make this statement . that mankind may
know Simmons Liver Regulator as a valuable remedy for the
ills of man and beast.— T. G. Bacon, Edgefield, S. C.

First Principles of the Science of Breeding.

Subduing" Wild Horses.

The progress of every science is from the empirical to the
rational. Isolated facts are observed and utilized in the ex-
perience of individuals. The recurrence of these facts leads
some one to gather them op and to follow their trend till the
law under which they arrange themselves as effects is dis-
covered. The law thus inferred stands forth for the guidance
of future experimenters; and as each, new investigator wid-
ens the field and discovers new laws, or fresh applications of
those already known, the science — the organized body of
knowledge — grows.

The science of breeding, as far as it is known, has had this
history; and the great advantages which have been made in
it within the past ten years are clearly due to the intelligent
and patient observation of the facts of breeding as shown by
performances, but still more to clear and trustworthy genera-
lizations founded on them.

The day of empiricism in breeding is over. That of scien-
tific and rat:onal selection of parents for their posBeFaion of
qualities which it is desired to perpetuate has come, and
come to stay.

The need of the present is the constant insistence upon,
and the intelligent application of, the few fundamental prin-
ciples of the growing science of breeding which have been es-
tablished by the successful experience of breeders in all parts
of the conntry. I propose, in the present article, without
making any claim to originality of treatment, to re-state
three of theBe principles.

1. A horne is what he is born. That is, he is the sum of
all the powerB, capacities and tendenc:es inherited from his
ancestors, near and remote, each individual ancestors, exer-
cising upon him an influence proportional to the nearness of
such ancestor, and to the ability to transmit the powers,
capacities and tendencies whioh he or she possesses or pos-
sessed. That some individuals, both male and female, have
this power to reproduce themselves in a special degree can-
not be disputed. Why they have it has never as yet been
satisfactorily explained. When sire and dam in themselves
and in their inheritance complement each other, two and two
sometimes make five; when they do not, two and two tail to
make four. A. horse is a complex organism. To be the high-
est type of his class he needs a perfect physical organization,
intelligence and courage or will-power. When sire and dam
contribute harmoniously to reproduce these qualities in their
offspring, we frequently see them producing individual?
greater than themselves. These, in turn, transmit their en-
hanced inheritances; end itisfollowing the lines of this cumu-
lative transmission of qualities that all real progress in the
science of breeding has been made.

Neither the great sire theory nor the great brood-mare
theory of breeding can stand alone. The one is the comple-
ment of the other, and the intelligent breeder of the present
grasps the truth in both, and endeavors by paiient study of
the blood lines on both sides from which greatness has re-
sulted, and bv j-idicious selection of sire and dam as indi-
viduals, to secure the be3t resnlts in fixity of type and in the
production of animals who have in themselves, by right of
descent, the desirable qualities which the national horse of
America should possess.

Following the guidance of the principle we have laid down
as the foundation of a more rational method of breeding, we
will not be led aside by every passing wind of doctrine. Ad-
vocates o£ rule-of-thumb methods allure us in vain. We be-
come dfaf to the thoroughbred charmer and the ''Morgan"
enthusiast, and the sound of the giinding of the *\Diomed"
crank is low.

We know what we want and how we may reasonably ex-
pect to get it, and knowing this, we breed for it. Nature
never makes any mistakes, howevermany we may; and when
we le->rn how to interpret Natare's laws, through experience
And by study, we shill come nearer and nearer success.

2. A horse in what he eat*. Given all the other requisites,
the perfection of bodily vigor and ability to perform depends
largely upon food, its character and amount. Food, in turn,
depends upon soil and climate. Certain localities in America
have been renowned as horse-producing centers— the hills
and dales of Orange County, the blue-grass regions of Ken-
tacky, and the perennial pastures of the Sunset Slope. But
the latest experience goes to show that horses may be brought
to a very high, if not the highest, degree of physical perfec-
tion in any of the temperate regions of this continent where
food is abundant. The beneficial results of generous feeding
are strikingly illustrated in the performances of many young-
sters on both sides of the Rocky Mountains, and as far north
as Maine and Canada.

3. A horse is what he is made. This is another way of
paying that the colt's inherited predisposition to trot can be
develoDed into its fullest activity only by early, patient and
intelligent training. But the art of training must itself be
developed through experience and carefol study of the nature,
the inheritance and the peculiarities of families and of indi-
viduals. Breeders are naturally attracted by the immediate
rewards in the shape of fame and money, and in their an-
xiety to Becure these rewards the training is carried to the
point of straining. The trne theory of training is the careful
and progressive development of the colt's powers by exercis-
ing them till he has reached the perfection of physical vigor,
and has at the same time acquired the mental balance neces-
sary to putting forth his greatest powers, as well as the cour-
age and resolution to keep him up to his beBt in a continued
effort. When this is done, without injury, the individual
becomes a progenitor tit to reproduce (when judiciously
mated) not only what he himself inherited, but to add the
developed capacity to perform to his inheritance, and thus
make further advances possible.

Before we get the two minute trotter we must have sires
and dams capable of producing him; and if we have not these
already, we must breed and develope them on the line? above
indicated. When the nonpareil trotter does appear, I ven-
ture to assert that he will represent a distinguished ancestry
of producers and performers; and more than all he will re-
present braine. He mav come from Kentuoby, from
the Great West, from California, or from Maine, but where-
ever he comes from bis breeder and his trainer will be firm
believeis in breeding, feeding and speeding as indispensable
elements in the production of that "roof and crown" of the
animal kingdom, the American trotting-horse.— {Wallace's
Monthly.)

The Goodloe Trotting Stock,

Includiue three of the best daughters of George Wilkes
will be sold by W. K. BraBfield & Co , at their Breeders Sale,
Lexington, Ky. The late Col. Goodloe waB a Doted breeder
nf running horses, and had jnst embarked in the trotting
business, and bought some of the finest mares in the whole
country. All will now go under the hammer.

"The first thing to be done in breaking a bronco is to
catch him," said I. N. Shores the other day, in discussing
the characteristics of the festive and bucking yet favorite rid-
ing horse of the cowboys of the far West. For fifteen years
Mr. Shores has followed the business of taming and training
the bronco. But the great cattle ranges are filling up with
settlers and the speaker Beomed to lament the new era that
had decreased the demand f -r cowboys and broncos. "I
used to make $300 a month breaking broncos, bat those days
are gone. I oan't do it now," he added, and then spoke of
how things bad changed since the recent and rapid settlement
of the plains conntry. "Many cowboys break their own
horses," he said; "but it used to be the custom for the own-
ers of herds of broncos to let them out by contract to Borne
one to break them either to the use of saddle or harness. Let
me first explain the use of the word bronco. The word means
wild, and any horse, whether a mustang or a thoroughbred,
no matter what the stock, is really a bronco when untamed,
and not under easy control. But the term as commonly used
does not include a blooded horse. The horse is not naturally
a vicious animal. He becomes so through ill treatment and
fear. There is nothing that creates such fear in an untamed
horse as man. Mountain lionB and savage beasts will not
alarm a wild horse like the presence of man. In breaking a
bronco this must be remembered — use gentle methods.

"It is fear that makes the animal buck and jump and try
in every possible way to throw the rider. To be sure, some
horses are naturally vicious, and hence dangerous, but they
are the exception. The horse is one of the noblest of ani-
mals, and let him learn as soon as possible that you are not
an enemy Hence in breaking a horse be kind and gentle as
far as possible. Ill treatment only increases in the horse that
terror he naturally has for man. I am speaking of the wild
horse and those that are almost so, such as the broncho, by
the freedom they have had on the plains, although owned
and branded. After you have lassoed a bronco," continued
Mr. Shores, "the animal is then tied to a snubbing post.
This enables one to get up close to the bronco. If the ani-
mal is very wild or vicious, lasso tne front feet and throw the
horse to the ground. I sometimes tie the front feet so the
bronco can't get up. The touch of the hand will startle and
Bcare them. Sometimes you can hear the heart beat, so great
is the fear of the horse, at even the gentlest touch. In a bad
case I roll the horse over the ground after his feet are tied
until he becomes tired, and thereby more gentle. A bronco
will often make a desperate fight. He will bite, kick and
strike at you. I have often had broncos make such a deB-
perate fight and struggle that the only way I could put a
saddle on them was to place the saddle on the ground and
roll the horse into it."

"What qualifications does a man need to successfully han-
dle the bronco?"

"Strength, nerve, action and a good judgement. It is a
contest between man and beast for the supremacy, hence a
man want-; strength and nerve. He must show his mastery
over the frightened animal. The rider must be quick and
agile, not only to control the horse, but to guard against acci-
dent. I can easily leap off and on a horse sixteen hands high
when he ib at fall gallop. It is no great feat, it is practice.
See how qaick and active the cowboy is. He 1b fearless and
bold in the saddle. Above all, good judgement must be used.
A man who thoroughly understands his business knows the
character and mettle of the horse by the time the saddle is
on."

•'How do you mount a bronco when breaking him?"
"Often I am controlled by the peculiar circumstances,
owning to the bucking, pawing and kicking of the horse.
My favorite plan is as follows: I take told of the bridle bit
with my lett hand and incline the horse's head toward me.
I Btand on the left side toward the front. I turn the stir-
rup with my right hand. I then pat the right rein into my
right hand and hold it snugly and firmly on the horn of tfcG
saddle. The horse's head has already been inclined toward
me on the left, and the head cannot, when thus held, be
turned either way if you keep a good grip. Then I pat the
left foot into the stirrup and gently raise my right leg over
to1 saddle. Create as little fear as possible in the horse.
When in the saddle, if the horse does not start at once, don't
nrge him. A great many think they must start the horse as
soon as they are in the saddle. That is not the way. Let
the horse Btand a moment if he will. When you siart do
not attempt to go straight ahead. The bronco is sure to
pitch and buck if yon do Having the horse's head turned
when mounting, keep it turned. The bucking iB not so vio-
lent if the horse is kept turning in his cDur-e. Some will
pitch and bucK any way, but in breaking a bronco kept him
from doing that if possible. Many of the cowboys, as they
are expert horsemen and well skilled, will teaoh and en-
courage their horses to buck."

The different kinds of pitching and bucking were then
described. There is the weaving pitoh, the horse swinging to
one side and then the other, when only an expert rider can
keep his place in the saddle. The crow bop is an interesting
maneuver of the bronco. He leaps into the air and back and
lights on his feet in the rear of the place from which he made
the pitch. He is liable then to lose control of his legs and
fall. There is the wheeling buck or pitch. The bronco leaps
into the air, and when he lights he has made a semi-circle,
for he is facing in an opposite direction. It is a kind of a
leap where the horse goes np "heads" and comes down
"tails." They rear and pitch in everyway. They may fall
on their side or back and roll over. Sometimes the bronco
will get his hips so high he will come down on hi-, bead.
The tail will crack, and the rider, if an expert, will slip his
leg over the horse's neck and get oat of the way. There are
many terms used to express the various combinations of the
curves and gyrations of the bronco when man begins with
him the straggle for masteiy,

"The wild horse is not often found on the plaing in these
days," said Mr. Shores. "There are some on the Kepublican
river and Laramie plains. There are small herds scattered
over the West, but they are not numerous. The catching of
wild horses ased to be quite a business, but it does not pay
much now. Various schemes were resorted to to catoh wild
horses. Their ranges are large circles which are often many
miles. Belays of horses have often been used to attempt to
run them down. Another play was to follow them at a dis-
tance to accustom them to the sight and presence of men,
and by continually following them, tire them so they can not
make a good run. Others think the beBt plan is to kill tbe
stallion. Every herd of wild horses has its leader, which is
a stallion that has won the place by killing his rivals or run-
ning them off to another range. The fights between the wild
stallions were some of the finest sights ever witnessed on the
plains in the early days, and the herd always acknowledges
tbe leadership of the victor. When fighting, stallions wheel
and kick a great deal, for each one is guarding against that
which, if secured by his antagonist, will make him the vic-
tor."

'.What is that?"

''The hold on the throat. Horses at play will rear on their
hind legs and keep tbeir heads more together, but when fight-
ting, and especially the stallions, they are careful to guard
their throats from attack. They will bite each other on the
back and in the side, and rapidly wheel and kick, ever on
the alert to catch each other by the throat. If one stallion
gets a good hold on the throat of the other it means death if
he can keep his grip, for he chokes the other till he dies.
The victor rules the herd so long as he can whip any other
that comes among them. He controls the herd jest like a
shepherd dog does sheep. The wild stallion is a noble and
brave animal. He guards and protects the herd, and when
danger is nigh he will run them to a place of safety. If any
one of the herd are slow about getting out of the way of
whatever threatens, the leader will bite them and make them
go. His bravery is shown by returning, when be thinks the
herd is safe, to investigate. The stallion will often seek a
high place, with a commanding view, to ascertain what the
danger may be. The wild horse hunter would often take ad-
vantage of this and Bhoot the magnificent animal thus stand-
ing guard. Tbe herd temporarily being without a leader is
more easily captured, but the days for hunting wild horBes
are about over. The country has grown so rapidly that many
of tbe sports of the frontier are things of the past." — Brook-
lyn Eagle.

2:21}, and the other out of May Dav the dam of Margaret S.

The Chesterfield Narsery iu England, which had twenty-

eral while Kelly and Samuels, Matt Storn, Appleby and oth-
ers will go down*

The local bookmakers iu New Orleans do not put up tbe
odds on their races except on off days, and thus they force
the bettors to go to the track. Why do not our bookmakers
do tin.- same thing?

01 ' Exile is said to "he looking as fit as a fiddle. He will
jirobablynot Btart in the Suburban, though. It is under-
ato; 3 that Mr. Haguiu has the refusal of him when he leaves

Bergen has been christened "The king of the winter tracks"
and has been very successful lately. Barnes will, it is ru-
mored, ride for The Dwyers. Mr. Baldwin has a distinct
objection to his jockey owning horses.

Eastern turfmen say that trotting should be altered so that
small bettors can have a chance. There is no doubt that
being unable to speculate prevents many from attending
here, where the pools sell too high for them.

The bookmakers who left Clifton on urgent business dur-
ing racing, feiring they were going to have a big Jos, turned
up the next day and paH, an outsider having beaten the two
favorites. They received quite an amount of guying.

The work on the new track at Monmouth is being done so
rapidly tbat it is almost certain to be finished before July
4th. It is principally due to tbe veteran turfite D. D. With-
ers, whose judgement is secjnd to no man's on turf affairs.

Col. Thornton's trainer, Swann, was in town last week, he
says the big Anteeo hoise, Jas. Madison, will be sent for a
record if there is any kind of a chancs, the horse and a 3-
year old half-sister, by Nutwood Jr. are working very well.

The Matlock horses. Repetta, Lady Duffy, Oregon Rose,
Jim Miller, Leon and Alta, arrived in Pendleton last
week from Walla Walla, and will be taken to Tom Matlock's
ranch near Heppner, where they will be quartered for the
winter.

Al Farrow was reinstated on an affidavit from Frank De-
Poi^ter as agent for Mr. Walters to the effect that he had
Bold the horse to Mr. Smith; if at any time the horse is re-
turned to the original owner (Mr. Walters) the decision will
be reconsidered.

An interesting experiment ie to be tried on a Pennsylvania
breeding farm . It is to attempt the formation of an ice track,
so that training can be continued throughout the winter.
The plan is to sprinkle the trotting track, thus keeping it
coated with ice and snow.

Pittsburg Phil put about $1,500 on Clay Stockton at 4 and
5 to 1, and forestalled the owner, J. S. Campbell. There are
several men I onld mention who would have made him lose
tbat $1,500. Evidently, Phil is following Walton's game
He did well one season in England, and then?

The Adams' mare, who was taken East by Mr. Whitney
some time after she beat Jim Douglass and made the record
for 600 yards at Sacramento, has been sent back to Mr.
Adams, who will breed her unless she is sold. I understand
Mr. Martin of Sacramento has offered $1,000 for her.

All judge's stands should be placed much lower than they
usually are. Many a horse is overlooked. Lavinia Belle
would have bad the race which was given to Oregon the oth-
er day i the judges had been lower down. Col. Simmons very
Beldoin makes a mistake, but this time he was dead wrong.

W L Whitmore the owner of Coloma and Guido haB in
Walla Walla, Washington Ternt ry a stallion Caliph who
is a full brother to Margaret the dam of R-gal WilkeB2:20$.
He expects to have a tremendous season with him next year
on account of the performance of his relative Regal the crack
two year old.

The Directors of the Kansas City Jockey Club approved the
programme presented by the committee and Secretary Corri-
gan. Nine stakes— one for each day— and 36 purse raceB are
on the bill of fare. The amount added to the stakes averages
over $1000. Tbe entries to stakes close Jan. 15th. The
meeting begins June 10th, and lasts nine days.

Mr. Wnlbaum declared to win tbe other day with Larch-
mont, but Soden on Bradford, although it is said he could
easily hav-* allowed Larohmont to win, went on and the stable
ran one, two, the wrong way ronnd. ThiB is not the first
case of tbe kind. Senator Hearst experiecced a severe dose
when Littlefield rode it out on his selection,

Germany is slowly but surely becoming infatuated with
trotting, and the market is gradually getting better. The
following shipment of American trotters lately left for there:
Blancbard, 2:25$, bv Daoiel Lambert; William C, 2:22^ by
Yonng WilkeB; BuBby, 2:29J; Soott Newman, 2:27i; Morning
Star, Dandy and Jersey Thoroe. no records.

Exceptionally flattering accounts have been received from
time to time about various youngsters sold at tbe Haggiu
Hale, the lust one fivorably cimmented is the bay filly by
Warwick or Darebin dam Altitude sbe was bought by Lake-
land. When one considers that on her dam's side she has a
double Stockwell cross and rare old Queen Mary for a fifth
dam there is no wonder that she gallops.

H. P. Mohr favored ub with a call this week. His Clydes-
dales are probably the only ones imported into California
that are registered in the original Clydesdale Stud Book, nnd
0,9 every one knows it is better to use and own a well authen-
ticated pedigree borae than any other kind, while for general
activity and nooudness they are unexcelled. Any would-be
purchaser* should look in our advertising columns for par-
tioulars about Borne of his latest arrivals.

Goodall, the jockey, is said to have captured an heiress.
Probably he will quit riding and buy a race horse or two
now.

The Southern Oregon State Board of Agriculture is having
an internal Btrnggle. Jackson County, who succeeded in
making quite a successful fair lssfyear, are opposed by
Douglas County, who stood aloof last year, but now want to
have the fair iu their county at the next meeting. The old
officerB, Geo. W. Riddle, President; Chas. Hughes, vice-Pi\s-
ident, Robt. A. Miller, Secretary; T. P. Jndson, treasuier,
were re-elected. The Board will meet again the first Monday
iu May, at Grant's Pass, to select a location for the next an-
nual mteting.

That the managers of winter tracks are put to their wits'
ends in efforts to overcome inclemency of the weather, his
time and again been shown since the days when Brighton
Beach first began racing during other than actual summer
weather. Tbe latest illustration of this kind was tbe device
retorted to at Gnttenbnrg last week, when huge bonfires were
lighted at regular intervals arouni the trek to dry it out, so
that the hairow and crushing rollers might be put to work.
A tremendous downpour the same night spoilt the effects.
Our organization heie sits still and waits.

The only trotting record iu which the time was given by
fifths of a second was when Dexter trotted the mile in 2: IS
to saddle in 1866. Bis owner, George Alley, had wagered
$1,000 to $5,000 that the horse v. onld beat 2:19 to saddle.
He placed in the hands of the timers three watches, each
marking the seconds by fifthn, because there was a possibil-
ity of beating 2:19 by just one-fifth of a second, and this nice
reckoning could not, of course, be made by a quarter second
watch. If Dexter had trotted in 2:18 4-5, the quarter-second
watch would have been more likely to mafce it 2:19.

The two Australian colt?, Narellan and Kirkbam, sent by
the Hon. James While to England, are doing well under the
ve'eran Matt Dawsou's care. They have been backed,
cjupled, at £1,000 lo £50 for the Deroy. Their breeding ia
exceptional. Both are by Chester out of more than half sis-
ters, viz, La Princess and Princess Maud. The former (La
Princess) is oy Cathedral, a well known son ot Newminster,
and the latter by Adventurer, a still brftter son of NewminE-
ter and Palma, an Emilius mare. The colt's grand dam is
the celebrated Princess of Wales by Stockwell out of Tne
Bloomer t y Melbourne.

The National Jockey Club at Washington having decid d
towmd up theiraffairs and sell the Ivy City course, tbe fall
meeting having been a disastrous failure A meeting was
held on December 2nd, with Mr. F. W. Draney in the chair.
A lar^e sum was soon subscribed for st"ok ia a new venture
and the board of directors were authorized to go ahead with
the improvements on the new track, aud if possible arrange
for a racing meeting next spring. The rirst thing to be done
will be to fence the property, and proposals for this c intract
will shortly be invited. Already 9,000 feet of pipe for drain-
age have been laid, aud it is tha intention of the club to u.ake
the track one of the best in the country.

The Bay District Track, over which so many crack horses
have been driven, including Rarus, 2:13|; Goldsmith Maid,
2:14; St. Julien, 2:11$; StambonJ, 2:12j; Palo Alto, 2:1 2J;
Manza- ita, 2:16; Sunol, 2:10*; Regal Wilkes. 2:20$; Norlaine,

is, 2:14; Gold Leaf, 2:11JS Yolo Maid, 2:12*, and inunmera-
ble other prominent trotters have shown their mettl-, will
soon be a thing of the past. We can at least rest satisfied
with one thing. Tbe Bay District track retires iu good com-
pany, for the world renowned Union course on Long Island,
over which Hiram Woodroff showed his matchless Bkill be-
hind Dexter, is also to be cut up, and (here will only remain
memories of George Wilkes and E nan Allen to the vicinity.

New Orleans winter meeting should be a success. The
track is now much fastesttban ever before, and as it has been
shortened thirteen feet it is now just six inches over a mile,
measured three feet from the pole Last seaso.i the first
quarter was all right, but the remaining three anarters were
almost impassable after every rain. During the summer the
rails have bean moved so as to make the track fifty feet
wide in the narrowest places anl the lust three quarters have
been ooited to a depth of from 15 to 18 inches with a light
layer of Band. The draiuB have been put iu ensswise and
lengthwise, and the open drains have been cleaned out deet-
eue land widened, so as to work freely and rapidly in con-
nection with the tile drains. A powerful drainage machine
haB been fitted up to work in conjunction with tbe rest of
the drainage system so that the whole incloBure will be re-
lieved of water within a few hours after the end of every
Btorm, no mutter how severe it may have been. The turns
have been thrown up on the outside, so as to enable the
horses to make them at full speed, and the whole track has
been so graded as to render it impossible for the water to lie
upon it. Col. Simmons is expected to assist president H. M.
Connor and Col. Williamson in judging henceforth.

The reports of tbe two racing associations of the gross
receipts for admissions to thtir race tracks and grounds dur-
ing the past racing season have been riled with tbe State Con-
troller.

declared void.

Mr. Caldwell is having a roogh time as a starter at Gut-

sion in Newmarket.

Abercorn, the crack Australian, racehorse, has won £11,-
445 on the turf in four years. As a three-year-old, his best
year, he won £4,199. From a money aspect, this doeB not
compare well with either America or England.

The pacer about whom so much talk was made by ihe rac-
ing contingent who took in the Eeno and Carson Fairs, has
not joioed Hickok's string. I understand he is not progress-
ing well, having been blistered and fired lately.

Charlie Dicberman, who has been residing in Paris some
time.

year old brother to Sunol, will leave him here until spring,
while Col. Strader is instructed to sell the five year old broth-
er Wellington, which will leave Senator Stanford without a
single WaxaDa colt.

Some of oar visitors say the California climate must be
affecting Mr. Davis, the owner of Boy Wilkes. He says that

overcoat, he found th6 dust blowing, although it had been
raining incessantly for 10 days.

Trotting Association, and in future pool selling will be the
only kind of gambling allowed there.

John Shephard has a wonderful team in Arab 2:15 and
Mill Boy, 2:26. If Guy had been sold at the Fasig, he
would have been hitched up with Arab.

One of the features in English racing last season has the
wonderful success of the progeny of Bobert the Devil, Tou-
chet, Muncaster and Arbitrator, all of whom are dead.

Clifton refused to give the entries over night to the New
York Pool Rooms, and in consequence last Wednesday saw
the local rooms here withjElizabethtown alone on the board.
The Clifton management contend that the pool rooms in
New York keep the crowd in town.

It is stated on the authority of a prominent Eoglish Ra-
cing man that Chevalier Ginistrelli declined an offer of 20,000
guineas for Signorina who has shown exceptional form as a
two year old this year in England. It is naid she is the most
racy looking filly since Achievement.

William M, Stewart generally known as Doc Stewart died
in Denver after a severe illness. He was one of the celebra-
ted old timers being one of the judges at Chicago when Dex-
ter Hopeful and Great Eastern trotted. He drove in the first
race trotted over the Cleveland track.

44 years ago the late Lord Falmouth began racing. In
1860, he left Newmarket where Goodwin had been training
for him and took his horses to Malton into John Scott's sta-
ble, his first classic win was in 1862 when Harricane trained
by Scott won the one thousand guineas.

The fight still continues between Clifton and Elizabeth-
town. Last week the Dwyers admitted everyone free at
the latter. Clifton will counteract the effect, somehow.

all three being sick and out of foim when he arrived.

A. A. Bonner is having the land he recently purchased near
Seabrigbt, N. J., equipped for a breeding farm. Yolmer,
2:24£, will be the premier stallion. Among the mares will be
a mare by Startle, dam Daybreak (Bister to Noontide. 2:20;}),
and Rahway, by Lord Russell, dam Rosabella by Belmont 64.

Charles Miller, an old San Franciscan, is going into the
trotting business in New York. W. H. Snyder has been en-
gaged to train and drive, and also to manage the farm.

It has been universally stated that Senator Hearst's ranch
in iexas ha* been re-inforced for breeding purposes by King-
maker, two-year-old, by Warwick, dam sister to Jim Doug-
las; Glen Echo, f oar-year-old, by Glenelg, dam Echolees;
Lovelace, brown colt, by Kyrle Daly, dam Trellis, and others.
I supposed the Chihuahua Ranch in Mexico was their destina-
tion. Where is the Texas ranch?

Spendthrift, the well known stallion, was sold last week
at the dispersal of the stud. After a good deal of opposition
he was knocked down to Messrs. Tracy <fc Wilson for §14, 000.

The Farmers Club House at Morris Park is nearly finish-
ed, a commitee oflfive trainers and oneowner'.will manage the
Club an initiation fee will be charged and probably $5 annual
dues.

" It sounds Btrange after all the talk about Palo Alto and
Stamboul to hear Mr. Oiawford say, "I will back a stallion
for $25,000, Palo Alto and Stamboul preferred," and he
means business, too.

Luke Du Bois has brought an exceptionally well bred mare
by Belmont, dam by Woodford Mambrino, to breed to Bome
of our trotting stallions ; he is hesitating between Guy Wilkes,
Director, Sidney and Stamboul.

Eighty-Bix entries have been received for the Two Thous-
and Guineas of 1891. which is a rather better average. H.
E. H. The Prinoe of Wales headB the list of nominators.
Col. North, the nitrate king, has six entries.

The case of Dan De Noyelles va. the Charter Oak Driving
Park Association was decided last week. Mr. Nelson was
ordered to refund $750 to the Charter Oak Driving Park As-
sociation, who will pay it to Mr. De Noyelles.

It is a well known fact that in the fall a good two year old
has a lot the best of it at weight for age. At the North-
ampton (England) meeting the first six races were carried off
by two-year-olds, viz.: Devilfish, Old Coin, Far Niente {after
a dead heat with Enamel, another two-year-old). Partington,
Duke of Burgundy and Rotten Row; while the only other
race was won by a three-year-old, Lenwade.

Luke De Bois, who was so well known here years ago hav-
ing brought many well known horses to this state, is here
on a visit and is just as versatile and amusing as in days of
yore; when Charlie Simpson, John Mackey and Baldy Ham-
ilton get their feet under Ned Fay's round table there is
muBic in the air despite the veteran's (Luke's) age 68 he leads
the van with Mackey a good 6econd.

The late Lord Falmouth's racing and breeding stock,
will be solJ on the 18th; twenty mares, eleven foals and sev-
en yearlings will be offered. Among the mares are Pauline

sister to Muncaster (Doncaster Windermere); Syringa (dam
of Blanchland) by King Lad out of Blanchefleur a [daughter
of Queen Bertha; Wharfdale by Hermit out of Bonnie Doon
and daughters of the celebrated Lady Golightly and Spina-
way.

Wire, although not barbeJ, 16 tnd cause of a good deal of
complaint in Eagland. Lord Willoughby de Broke, Master
of the Warwickshire Hunt, has informed the Southern
Farmers' Clab that unless wire fences are taken down in
the winter, hunting will be stopped. Since the present sea-
son began his wife had been nearly killed, his first whip had
badly injured his hand, and two horses had been severely
torn* in consequence of this objectionable system. Lord
Chesbam, Master of the Bicester Hunt, in a letter to the
same club, stated that for himself there will be no more
hunting where wire fences were kept up in the winter.

At the Lexington sale oa D ecuibar 3d Elias Lawrence, b
s, 12 years, by Billet, dam Sprightly, was sold to Elmer
Bailley, Midway, Ky., for $1,425. The Chevalier, br c, 4, by
Prince* Charlie, dam Miss Haverly, E.L.Israel, Lexington,

ville, Tenn., $3,500. Winning Ways, b m, 4, by King Ban,
dam Attractive; W. R. Letcher, Riohmond, Ky., $1,250.
Teuton, ch c, 3, by Ten Broeck, dam Miss Austin; R. H.
Holloway, Lexington, $3 500.

A distinguished Eogliou voiermary surgeon, Woodruff
Hill, is very pronounced in his disapproval of applying a hot
iron to a horBe's hoof. In a letter to the Live Stock Journal
he says: "Possibly the presence of shoeless horses and the
advertisements of particular Bhoes had origin in the evils at-
tributable to the general practice adopted in English forges.
It has been urged that to tit a shoe properly the level and
necessary bearing can only be obtained by the heated shoe,
ergo, the frizzing of the horn to encourage the lazy attributes
of the shoeing smith. I have little hesitation, after years of
forge experience, in asserting that more abnnrmal conditions
of equine feet arise from hot fitting than probably any other
cause. What is the structure of horn? Has it vitality, or
does it exist through vital encouragement? Would human
beings friz the tipB of their nails? Where does the chief
bearing lie? On the crust, which cannot be too firm and
sound. Is its lower part, that has to meet the resistance of
iron, strengthened or deadened by the application of red-hot
iron? Seedy toes, rimmed hoofs, and shelly feet owe more
of their condition to hot shoe fitting than is suspected. Bet-
ter work a horse unshod than badly shod. Better a horse
with a natural foot, however ugly, than a foot frizzled^ and
cut to shape by an unscientific and misnamed artistic smith."

One 'of our moBt observiug vioit^s this fallhas been Col.R.
S. Strader, of Lexington, Ky. After careful inspection he se-
lected several well bred trotters, andlaBt Wednesday intended
shipping them to Kentucky, but owing to the rain
had to wait. On the car will be Clay 4779 2:25,
a black stallion, ten years old by Electioneer 125. dam Maid
of Clay (dam of four in the 2:30 list) by Henry Clay 8
Alban 5332 2:24, bay stallion, eight years old by General

Clay, dam Sallie Hamlet by Hamlet 160. The Colonel also
will take on his car, Wellington, five years old,
brother to Sunol 2:10i; Warlock, a bay four year-
old colt by Whips 2:27*. dam Nellie Walker; ,Mr. Margrave's
jearliog colt by Piedmont, dam Trustie by Messenger Daroc

year-old bv Gay Wilkes out of Atalanta (sister to Beautiful
Bells) for W. H. Wilson,. Cynthiana; Mr. J. H. White's stal-
lion Hernanni by Electioneer, dam Gypsey by Paul's Abdal-
lah. Col. Strader will sell several of the colts in Kentucky
including the brother to Sunol Mr. White has in-
structed Colonel Strader to sell Hernanni for him.
Phallas returns on the sune car and will again stand in Ken-
tucky. Messrs. Bither and Crawford will not leave for a few

days.

The souvenir programme for the Clifton races on Thanks-
giving Day was a useful piece of work, inasmuoh aB it
showed what had been done under the "cheap" system of
racing. Bat few who have followed the "bang-tails" since
the inaugural at Brighton Beach in 1879 had any idea of the
money distributed among the "beach-combing" owners. Per-
haos even less was known of what had been won under the
shadows of the Preakness Hills at Clifton. The actual figures
for the eleven years at Brighton Beach are as follows:

There is a great similarity between the breeding of Dame
Winnie (dam of Palo Alto) and Longfield, the Rancho del
Paso stallion. Dame Winnie is by Planet, dam by Glencoe,
second dam Fannie G by Margrave, while Longfield is by
Monarchist (who is out of a daughter of Glencoe) out of Blue
Gown by Planet out of.Flora G, by Lexington out of Fannie
G by Margrave. Why Bhould not Longfield mares produce
great trotters?

J. C. Blake, the well known Irish turfite, has on his smoke-
room table the hoofs of Arbitrator in silver on an ebony
stand, the hoofB form an ink pot, snuff box, match bos and
stamp box, while attached to the whole is a model of the
semaphore telegranh board used to display the Htarters, rid-
ers, etc., when Arbitrator won the Liverpool cap, and on
the reverse side iB a correct card of the day's racing when he
won the cap, and all his progeny.

The Melbourne Cup.
By the next mail from Australia we wilt receive a full and
detailed account of the great Melbourne Cop Meeting from
the pen of "The Jungle." A few days ago we received from
Capt Tom Merry, of Portland, Oregon the following poem
which he states he secured while lately on a visit to the land
of the Southern Cross, and in view of what will follow week
after next, it comes in very appropriately.

A SOUVENIR OF TIM WHIbFLER'S YEAR.
There's a lull in the tumult on yonder bill

And tbe clamor has grown less loud,
Though tbe Babel of tongues Is never still

In the presence of eucb a crowd.
On tbe flat they are crowding together.

Id tbe stand they are crushing for room:
Like midge-flies they swarm on the heather
And gather like bees on tbe broom.

The bell has rung— with their riders up

At the Btarting post they .-mister, -
Tbe racers stripped for tbe Melbourne Cup,

All gloss and polish and luster.
And the course Is seen in its empr^ld sheen

By the bright spring-tide renewed.
Like a ribbon of green stretched out between

The ranks of the multitude.

Tbe flag is lowered. "They're offl" "They cornel"

Tbe squadron is sweeping on;
A sway In the crowd— a murmudnc hum:

"They're here!" "They're pastl" ' Tbey re gone!
They came with the rush of the Southern aurf

On tbe bar of tbe storm girt bay ;
Like muffled arums on the sounding turf

Their boof-strokee echo away.

The rose and black* draw clear of the ruck.

And the murmer swells to a roar
Ab the Drive old colors that never were Btruck

Are seen in tbe lead once more.
Though the feathery ferns and the wattles wave

O'er tbe sod where Lantern Bleeps,
Though the grass is green on Fisberman'3 grave,

The stable its preBtlge keeps.

Six lengths in front she scores along;

She's brlnemg tbe field to trouble;
She's tailing them off, she's running strong,

She goes with her neck pulled double.
Now Minstrel falters and Exile flags,

Tbe Barb finds tbe pace to hot;
The Tory now loiters, and Playboy lage,

While the bolt of Ben Bolt ie shot!

That she may never be caught this day

la the worst that tbe public wish her.
She won't be caught -she comes right away.

"Hurrah for Seagull and Fisherl"
See, Strop falls back, though bis reinB are slack,

And Sultana begiuB to tire.
While the top-welgbt telli on the Sydney crack.

And the pace on "the Glppsland flyer."

Tbe rowels, as round the turn they sweep,

Just graze Tim Whiffler's flanks;
Like a bunted deer, that flies thro' tbe sheep,

tie strides through the beaten ranks.
Daughter of Omen, now prove your birth—

Tbe colt will take lots of choking;
The hot br-iath steams at your saddle girth

From his scarlet nostril smoking.

Tbe BboutB of the Ring for a space subside
And slackens tbe bookmaker's roar;

Now, Davis, rally; now. Garter, ride,
As man never rod" before.

When Sparrowhawk's bickers cease to cheer,
When Yatteudon'B friendB are dumb.

When huebed ie the clamor for Volunteer-
Alone in the race they cornel

They're neck and neck' They're head and bead!!

They're stride for stride iu the running;
Tbe whalebone whistles, tbe eteelis red,

No shirking as yet or Bbunning.
One effort, Seagull, the blood you boast

Should struggle wbeninerves are strained:
With a rush on the post, by a neck at most,

The verdict for Tim is gained.

Tim Wbiffler wins! Is blood alone

Tbe Bine qua non Jor a flyer?
The breed of his dam is a myth unknown

And we've doubts respecting hie sire.
Yet tew (if any) those proud names are

On tbe pageB of peerage or Btud,
In whose 'scutcheon lurks no sinister bar.

No taint of tbe base black blood.

Aye, Sbortbouae, laugh— laugh loud and long,

For pedigree you're a sticker;
You may be right and I be wrong,

WlseacreB both! Let's liquor?
Our common descent we may each recall

From a laiy of old caught tripping,
The fair one in fig-leaves, who d d us all

For a bite at a golden pippin.

{Died 187U.)

To My Friend "Don."

Miscellany from Yolo.

John W, Martin.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I wiBh to reply very
briefly to "Don." Either he doe-* not know what I was writ-
ing about or I do not know what he is writing about. I find
nothing in hi* article to disagree with. I did not compare
three-year-olds to old horses. I am willing to confesa that
Margaret S, Direct, Hazel Wilkes and Lord Byron are the
equals, as campaigners, of Sunol, Allerton and tbe rest. I am
hi p'oud of Clifornia homes as anybody else. People who
are acquainted with me j ersonally will give me credit for
wuili'ient intelligence to suppose that I know that Margaret
8 , Direct, Lord Byron, Ha/,'1 Wilkes, and the rest of them
will lower the>r records, bjrriog unusual accident.

The irticle I wrote simply dealt with old time trotters, and
the great number of years they were upon the tnrf. Nobody
disputes t at we have now better bred and faster horseB. I
w«w speaking of campaigners simply. Does anybody know
of a horse iu this State or the Extern StateB that is alive
now that will campaign ten or eleven years and win money
every year, and ond up by winning a sum total of from
940,000 to $85,000? Such a horse may be alive, bat the
Odds are against it.

or folding upon earth that can trot font such boats. There
are a few who can go one or two heats faster! This, how-
ever, doer not prove that Hopeful is the equal of these other

It is a fact worthy of comment; many of those who
write on matters pertaining to the horse are greatly given to
exaggeration, radicalism, lack of candor and other kindred
weaknesses. . ,. ,.

A man may be excused for advocating theories, the practice
of which will redound to his personal interests. For exam-
ple one who haB some pacing stock on hand may be forgiven
for earnestly dilating upon the untold beauties and graces he
pretends to see in their shambling gait or upon the magic
power of their mongrel blood in a trotting pedigree.
-The good man that has a stallion with an unfortunate run-
ning cross prominently in his pedigree where he ought to
have a cross of standard trotting blood, may be excused even
if he develops a somewhat virulent type of the thorough-
bred mania. .. .. .

Such as these are more deserving of sympithy than of cen-
sure But there is no justification for tboae writers who,
without any personal interest, utterly abjure reason, truth
and common sense in a radical advocacy of untenable theo-
ries. For instanee, there are some who proclaim the thor-
oughbred the source of all trotting speed. Because forsooth
Maud S, Jay Eye See, Sunol, and a few other fast trotters in
whom is crystalized and realized the results of long years of
breeding, training, selection, rejection, prepotency, Hereditary
transmission, and all the other agencies of intelligence and
skill, because they ha*e remote croBBes of thoroughbred
blood, therefore running blood produces fast trotterB. His-
tory is a lie, and the Simmonses and Witherses and all those
other great breeders of trotters who devoted their money and
talent to the science of breeding were misguided enthusiasts
blindly following a myth ond their life work a failure.

When the pacing crank bobs up with the ill flavored as-
sumption that all fast trotters owe their speed wholly to some
old wabbling cathamed pacers away back in their ancestral
Hue, utterly ignoring the well known facts most intelligent
breeders are trying to elimioate every particle of pacing blood
and pacing inclination from his stock. That thereflis nothing
so exasperating, so discouraging and so productive of pro-
fanity to the breeder and trainer of colts as, after he has en-
tered them in trotting stakes, paid in his goodmoney and
trained them till he Delieves he has something good, then to
have them blight all his hopes and expectations by breaking
into a shambling pace when oalled upon for a burat of speed.

Another, an able and graceful writer, and one in whom we
should expect candor and sound reasoning, attempts by all
tbe arts of special pleading and earnestness of apparent can-
dor, to prove that undeveloped sires are to be preferred to
those whose prepotency and trotting inBtinot have been
strengthened by development.

Another iconiclastic philosopher launches upon the pages of
horse literature a lengthy disquisition under the heading,
"The Seat of Power in the Horse." He discourses learnedly,
and at great length invokes the sciences in aid of his theory,
and concludes that in the hind legs of the horse, all speed
and motive power reside, and inlerentially that the rest of
the horse's anatomy is merely ornamental, except the front
legs, which serve only as pegs to prop up that end of the
machine.

Then there is that croaking imbecile away back East who
signs himself "Hundolph Ranfcington." He, with a few wild
strokes of his pen, relegates the Hambletonians and Mam-
brinos and all their deluded admirers to the dismal shadows
of Hades, and proclaims some flea-bitten bronco from the
Barbary coaBt the sole procreator and progenator of alt trot-
ters, and himself the true prophet who is to guide benighted
horsemen from the darknesB in which they are groping, into
the bright light of perfect horse-sense.

Another stupendous fraud is horse portraiture. There is
not one picture in ten that bears any resemblance to the
horse it is supposed to represent. Tbe curbs and spavins
and splints, sharp angles, and all other unsightly protuber-
ances, are invariably chiseled off the engraving. The head is
■haped up to suit the artist's ideal; the tail lengthened if
necessary, for certainly the conscientious arlist would not
take the pay and give his patron a horse with any ot these
shortcomings, when they can be bo easily removed. How-
ever, it is but justice to say that California horse portraits are
much more truthful than those eminating from Eastern
artists. Any ohurn-headed buck-kneed cook-ankltd brute
may be transformed into a veritable equine paragon, by hav
ing his picture appear in one of those Eastern periodicals.

The article in the last number of the Breeder and
Sportsman , copied from the New York Tribune and describ-
ing Sunol, ib another illustration of the subject in hand. It
reads: "She stands fifteen hands two inches at the withers,
while measured at the quarters she is full sixteen bauds
high." Another exaggeratiou. She is slightly taller behind
than in front, with anunosual sway just behind the withers.
If she ware two inches higher at the quarters than at t je
withers she would be badly deformed. He goes onto say
that "this conformation" — that deformity— "yo\i will see at
a glance is very favorable to high speed." Great Scott! What
a cruel, soathing comment upon the work of Nature.

Continuing he says: ''It is the greyhound type," Who
ever saw such deformity in a greyhound. It would seem
more the type of the kangaroo, an animal by the way noted
for its length of si rule and trottiDg speed. It ig a fact that
Nutwood, Maud S and Sunol are somewhat taller behind
than before, but there are thousands of horses possessing
that peculiar shape that cannot trof in four minutes, while
there is Axtell, Lillian Wilkes, Stamboul and hundreds of
other fast trotters that have not that conformation so "fav-
orable to high speed." I will not quote the paragraph
describing her disposition, assuming that the reader has it at
hand.

The idea of an animal with Buch a temper as is therein de-
scribed trotting a mile in 2:10£ is absurdly ridiculous. What
is the use of all this sensationalism and exaggeration? It is
sufficient that Sunol is an unparalled trotting wonder without
trying to make her out a monstrosity bristling with hideous
deformities of body and temper.

Sunol is the product of California and the pride of every
Californian, and when it became known that upon her de-
volved the proud distinction of being the chtmpion of Cali-
fornia against the world her career was watched with anxious
solicitude, and when the wires flushed the glad tidings of her
victory tbe heart of every Californian gave a throb of wild
exultation, and now tbe only regret iu that she should be
consigned to the menagerie of Bonner.

It is a matter of satisfaction and self gratulation to every
horseman on the Pacific Coast that we now have in the
IIkkkuek and SroRTsMAN an organ, abl*>, honest and fear-
less, serving the interests of horsemen without fear or favor
aud without partiality to any clans or caste. May your al-
ready large circulation be doubled and quadrupled in tbe
near future. The masses of the people need to be instructed
in matters pertaining to the horse aud in what constitutes a
good horse, bo that they may know nod appreciate a good

horse when they see one. Exercise, intelligence in the se-
lection of Btock to breed from as well as to be able to detect
fraud and miBreprepentation. This can be subserved in no
better way than by a wide spread circulation of the Bbeeder
and Sportsman.

A Texas Horse Trade-

There is a colored man in Austin, Tex , by the name of
Sam Johnsing. He has some money which he made trading
horses, at which he is an expert. One day Judge Peterby
saw Johnsing trading with an itinerant horse dealer. Hav-
ing some curiosity to know bow Sam came out in the trade
he asked him:

"Did you sell that fellow your horBe?"

"I did, boss, for a fao'."

"How much did you get?"

"Twenty dollars."

"Only $20? Why, you are a fool. That's a valuable
horse."

"Lemme tell you something boss. Dat hosa is lame."

Judge Peterby happened to meet the horse trader after-
ward and said to him:

"So you pud $20 for that horse?"

"Yob, I paid $20 to the darkey. It's a pretty obeap horse."

"You have been swindled. That horse is lame."

"I know the horse is lame, but it don't amount to any-
thing. He limps because he has not been properly shod. Ab
soon as I take the shoes off of him he will not limp a particle.
I wouldn't take $100 for that horse."

Half an hour afterward Judge Peterby met Sam.

"Look here, Sam, you were swindled, after all, in that
horse trade. The lameness of the horse is caused by his not
b ing properly shod."

"I knows he ain't properly shod. I had him Bhod dat way
on purpose, so as ter make dat hoBs trader believe dat he
was lame from dat cause, but de troof am dat he is lame,
sure enough, an' he am gwioter stay lame. He nebber will
be wnff nutfin. Heahl heah! how I fooled dat boss trader."

The same evening Judge Peterby saw tbe boss trader at
the r lilroad station. He was just about to leave on the train
for Dallas.

'That horse is really lame. Sam has got away with yon,
after all," said Peterby.

"That depends on circumstances. 1 think I can cure that
horse; but if I don't I'm not opt anything," replied the horse
dealer, grinning. "Ask Sam, after he haB tiied to change
that twenty-dollar bill 1 gave him for the horse," said the
horse dealer as he climbed into the car — Texas Sittings.

More About the California Brotherhood
Scheme—Six Clubs Next Season.

There are no new developments in the California Brother-
hood scheme, the meeting for the purpose of effecting an or-
ganization not yet having been held. The promoters of the
plan are busy at work, however, and will no doubt soon have
tbe matter planned and on a firm footing. The scheme, as
published in last week's Breeder and Sportsman, created
great consternation among the Directors of the California
League, who claim that it is only a job to shorten tbeirsacke.
l'he unjuatness of this may be seen from the following fact?.
Players of the California League are under contract from the
first of Maroh to the first of December, a period of nine
months. For the last three years the success of the League
has been phenomenal, and the owrers of the clnbB have har-
vested full crops of shekels, but they have not felt inclined
to pay the men who have worked hard and faithfully for
their employers' interest, any more money than they did
when the League was tottering on the verge of dissolution.
In the Eastern minor leagues players are under contract from
five to seven months, and are placed under greater disadvan*
tages than the players on this coast. As a result, the btst of
the minor league players are willing and anxious to secure
engagements in Cahfortia at less salaries than they can ob-
tain at borne. The resnlt was seen last Reason when men like
Jack and Hney Smith, Ryan, Hayes, Hurley, Ebright and
Knell were succeeded by a lot of Easterners, headed by
"Windy" O'Neill, and forced to quit playing ball or else seek
engagements in the East.

California talent now wants proper compensation for its
services without having to compete with men from blizzard-
dom, and this is the object the home players have in view in
forming a brotherhood. They have not moved in the matter
any too quickly either, for the Eastern Bporting papers are
filled with notices sent out by tbe Secretary of the California
League calling on minor league players of ability who desire
positions in this organization to send their names and ad-
dresses to him at once. As a result, the Secietary's office is
daily flooded witb applications for positions from men of
known ability who are anxious to come to California, and un-
less the men who have been raised in this State and have
brought baseball up to its present standard solely through
their own efforts, take immediate and effective steps to check
the influx, such men as Power, Sweeney, McDonald, Bardie,
Levy, Long, Shea, Smalley, Perrier, Wilson, and others, will
be forced to stand aside and see tbe positions they have bo
long and ably occupied filled by strangers.

Bill Smalley, the Haywards lad, haB refused to sign a Chi-
cago League contraot. He prefers to remain on the coaBt if
he oan get a place in one of the teams.

Harris and Robinson went to FreBno this week to organize
a League team there. They were successful in their efforts,
and now that Stcckton has deoided to .have a club another
year, it is a settled fact that next season the California Lesgue
will consist of six clubs, one eaoh at San Franoisco, Oakland,
Sacramento, Stockton. San Jose aud Fresno.

Hurley would like to stay in California, but as be has been
reserved by Milwaukee he will probably play in that oity
next year.

Hart and his Boston Combination are thoroughly disgusted
with California weather No wonder! But then, Jim, we
will probably have clear weather for awhile now, and' you
will have ample time to show what your tourists can do.

Arrangements have been oompleted for a Beries of seven
games between the Bostons and St. Louis Browns at the
Haight-street grounds, beginning the 22d inst. If tbe weather
is good those games will draw an immense attendance, for
both clubs finished a olose second in their respective leagues,
and there exists between them a strong rivalry.

Kelly will remain and catch for Boston in the series with
the St. Loais Browns,

It is estimated that three counties in Kentucky will receive
$3,000,000 for trotting stock alone this year.

Sam Gamble has been appointed the Pacific CoaBt agent
forBrastield & Co. the live stock Auctioneers of Lexington,

Imitating the example set by Mr. Corbitt for his stallion
Guy Wilkes the full brother William L. isalao rated at a $500
fee for the season of 1890.

Altftmont has been snch a success in the ?tud in Oregon
that now his owner is advertising that the services of the
horse can be had at any season of the year.

C. Loates, the well known English jockey, is in a very crit-
ical state. He had an accident some time ago, and it is rum-
ored that he will have to have his leg amputated.

Goodale, the jockey has been fortunate enough to capture
an heiress and the happy couple are now honeymooning in
the East. The lady is a resident of Birmingham, Ala.

At a meeting of the members of Golden Gate Agricultural
District No. 1, held lately, Samuel Gamble was elected a
director in p^ace of P. A. Finigan, whose term had expired.

There are but few of the horses left at the Bay District
Traok, the heavy rains having caused most of the owners to
remove their stables. When the weather clears up many of
them will return.

Piedmont has contributed six new comers to the 2:30 list
this season — the largest number ever put in by a son of Al-
mont in one year. Altamont, another son of Almont, has
contributed five.

The great fight for patronage between the winter tracks in
New Jersey has finally culminated in the Dwyer Bros,
throwing open the gateB of their Elizabeth track to the pub-
lic free of charge.

It is not generally known that the Messrs. Briggs, of Au-
bnrn, Me., made their purchase of Warren befo-ebis famous
siater Sunol got her record of 2:10J. Warren will remain in
California until next spring.

Have you made your entries yet for the Breeder and
Sporsman Futurity Stakes? If not do bo at once as the
tima is getting very short. This will be the largest stake
ever trotted for in California.

Mr. Davis, owner of Roy Wilkes, has been at Pleasanton
lately looking over the live Btock in that vioinity and also en-
deavoring to arrange matters so that bis stallion may stand at
that place during the early season of 1890.

There is nothing succeeds like success. Since Alfred G.
made his 2:19} and Redwood (got a record of 2:24-*, certain
buyers have been on the lookout for Anteeo Btock" and as
fast as a price is given the young ones are eagerly snapped
up. In Oregon, the Altamonts are the present fancy and no
wonder as that son of Almont has placed five in the oharmed
circle this Beason.

There is every reason to believe that a Urge number of
trotting horaeB, including Sanol, will be sent East from Palo
Alto to contest on the "Big Circuit." Mr. Marvin will have
charge of the lot as usual, and he is, even now, making selec-
tions from the more promising ones, with au eye to determin-
ing what is worthy of a place in the string.

I has much pleasure this week in meeting George Starr
Budd Doble's right bower, who is plaving a flying visit to the
breeding farms in this vicinity. He was accompanied by
John Hennessy formerly oonnected with **Knap" McCarthy.
Palo Alto, Pleasanton and San Mateo will receive calls from
the skilled reinBmen.

The project of holding a spring racing meeting in CarBon
meets with general favor, says (he Tribune. The idea is for
Reno to hold a three dayB' meeting following right after Sac-
mento and then C.irBon follow with three days the next week.
There is no reason why these spring meetings should not
prove as successful as the fall farrs.

The regularly quarterly meeting of the California State
Vetejiuary Association was held at the Baldwin Hotel on
Wednesday last. Dr. "W. H. Jones, M. R. C. V. S. was elec-
ted a member. Nominations for officers were made after
which the meeting adjourned to reconvene in Los Ange-
les.

A good deal of discussiou is often provoked by the exces-
sive presents given to successful jockeys, but there seems to
be no diminution at present. Mr. W. T. Jones, the owner
of Bravo, the winner of the last Melbourne cup, presented
his trainer with £2,000, the jockey £500, and the stable boys
£400.

It is about time that some of the numerous associations
should claim dates for next year. There were so many con-
flicts during the season just past that it would pay to
have a meeting of delegates from each association so that
there should be no such clash in future. Dates suitable for
all could easily be arranged, and it would be money in the
treasuries of the societies so to do.

Mr. Hoppin the former owner of Yolo Maid was in town
yesterday and he repuits that his Cubit foals are all looking
well.

Says the Kentucky Stock Fd,rm: "Senator Stanford's ex-
periments in horse breeding will make him the best adver-
tised, and most thoroughly d.scassed gentleman in America.
It has not yet been stated that he inteuds selling his trotting-
bred mares and rejying entirely on the thoroughbred por-
tion of his horses for the production ot trotters. As his
mares of trotting-breeding out-number his thoroughbreds a-
bout three to one, aDd as a large portion of his thorough-
bred mares are bred to thoroughbred horse?, his main re-
liance would, seem to be on trotting dams for the produc-
tion of trotters. The Senator can well afford his experiments
with the thoroughbreds, and the rest of the world can equal-
ly well afford to have the experiments made. By the way,
how many thoroughbred mares is Mr. Kobt. Bonner breed-
ing to trotting horses? Why does not some enterpribing cit-
izen try breeaiug his deeply bred trotting mares to thorough-
bred horses? Even those who do not fancy this sort of breed-
ing can afford to view the attempt at prodacing trotters noon

Any fool and diseased condition of the foot primarily con-
sists in inflammation and ulceration of the villous and Ben-
sative surfaces within the clefts of the frog. It appears to
arise from the continual application of various kinds of dirt
and muck, which irritates the tissues, both externally and
i eternally. Animals standing continually in foul, damp
stableB, or in Btraw yards, are liable to have this disease. A-
mong its first symptons is a discharge of a fetid mucopuru-
lent fluid from the cleft of the frog, which gradually extends
to the neighboring parts, and if neglected may involve the
whole foot. This condition produces lameness and of course
constitutes unsoundness.

Carefully remove the diseased horn, and thoroughly clean
out the excavation with a drachm of carbolic acid, |to which
must be added one ounce of water. After this the following
remedy may be used: Calomal, four drachms; glycerine, two
ounces.

This mixture must be put on a pledget of oakum and into
the cleft of the frog. Outside thiB a bandage with some
wood tar will do good service and keep the feet scrupulously
clean.

Axtell's mile in 2:12 was trotted by quarters in .33}, .33J,

At Mr. Hagsin's sale of yearlings in New York last July,

Truly the five hundred dollar fellows are becoming plentiful.

The thirteen head of mares and Gllies purchased by W. B.
Allen, of Pittsfield, Mass., in California during the past
eight months were all shipped back some three weeks ago,
and now comes word that they have arrived at their destina-
tion in safety.

The Turf, Field and Farm says: Gold Leaf, who has a
four-year-old pacing record of 2:11}, is a strongly formed
horse, and it is claimed that he can do his quarter in 30 sec-
onds when he is right. He has been out of soita and is enjoy-
ing a let-up.

Starter Sheridan has signed engagements to start next year
at Memphis, Nashville, Latonia and Washington Park Club,
Chicago. Secretary Brewster paid a visit to New York, and
while here negotiations between himself and Mr. Sheridan
were concluded.

George Kinney, the once celebrated race horse, had five of
his get as starters this year, and every one of them were
winners. That should enhance the value of the John Happy
colts which Mr. Haggin will send East, Happy being a toll
brother to George Kinney.

From gentlemen who have lately visited Petaluma, we
learn that the track at that place is in better order, notwith-
standing the rains, than any other track in this neighborhood.
The new top dreBBing has resisted the water wonderfully well,
and in between showers the trainers are able to take their
horses out for a jog. Gen. Fine, the Superintendent, is add-
ing many improvements to the grounds, and under his able
management it would not be surprising if a few records were
broken there before the first of the year.

A late decision by the American Trotting Association will
be of interest to racing associations. A horse, the property
of ThomaB Hogan, Wolf Island, near Kingston, Ont., won
money at an ice meeting and was entered in a green race at
the Midland Central Fair Grounds the past summer. A
protest was entered against the horse that he had no right in
the latter class. On appeal to the association the protest waB
not allowed, as according to the rules entry iu a green race
on the ice does not prevent the same horse contesting in a
similar race on the turf.

The new Louisiana Jockey Club have made great improve-
ments upon their course, and from all appearances the pres-
ent winter season will be a very successful one. The track is
now faster than ever before and is just six inches over the
full mile. During the summer the rails have been removed,
and the track is now fifty feet wide in the narrowest places.
A large number of new drains have been put in, and to fur-
ther supplement these a powerful drainage machine has been
fitted up. which it is expected will be sufficient to relieve the
whole enclosure of water within a few hours after every
storm. The turnB also have been thrown up in such a man-
ner that the horses can make them at full speed. Col. Sim-
mons, at present at the Elizabeth track, will assume the
duties of presiding judge about the middle of the month.

The Board of Review of the National Trotting Association
reconvened Wednesday of last week at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel, Judge P. P. Johnson, of Lexington, Ky., in the chair.
The other members of the board present were M. M. Moise,
secretary; Geo. W. Archer of Rochester, Gov, G. II. Bulke-
ley of Connecticut, G. Delaine of Chillieotfae, O., and John
L. Mitchell of Milwaukee.

The first case which came up for review was the applica-
tion of Dan Denoyelles for the half winnings of the trotter
Nelson, in the S10.000 race trotted at Hartford lastsommer.
The investigation of the case was concluded and it will be
decided in executive session.

This disposed of, the board entered on the investigation
into the fraud alleged to have been committed in the Bulcb
stallion race for $10,000 trotted at Boston last fall.

In the Balch stallion case, the board decided to give no
decision until the next meeting, held at Chicago in May, 1890,
unless a special meeting of the Board is called for that pur-
pose. This is considered bv the friends of the accused par-
ties aB quite a point gained. Among the more important
cases considered were the expuUion of William B. Wright,
of Canada, from the association tracks. The application of
Geo. Tufts, of Michigan, for reinstatement, was denied, as
was the application of Thomas Bradley, of Goshen, N. Y.,
and the chestnut gelding Blizzard. The disqualification of
the mare, Addie Pathfinder, was removed.

J. H. White has sold his inbred Hambletonian stallion
Hernanni "for a good round price," as we are informed by
one of the men from the ranch, though the amount is not
made pablio, says the Petaluma Argus. We have always had
great faith in Hernanni as a slock horse, and now that he is
on his way to the Blue Grass his day will soon come. Her-
nanni was bred by Governor Stanford at Palo Alto, and is a
half brother to Sunol, 2:10J and Palo Alto, 2:12*. His dam.
Gipsey, was by Paul's Abdallah, a son of Hambletonian 10.
Hernanni was a great trotter as a two year old, but has been
lame ever since and in no condition to trot. Mr. White has
a lof of young mares by Hernanni, and when they are crossed
by his young Director and Marco, trotters may be expected.
The time will come when the people of this region will regret
the absence of Hernanni.

Cashier Cornelius F. Bania, of the Merchants' National
Bank in Wall street, says the Sporting World, haB lost by
death his trotting horBe Ned, forty years of age. When
younger the horse had quite a reputation for speed and in-
telligence and retained bis health and faculties to a remarka-
ble degree up to the time of his death. Although this is a
long time for a horse to live, it is not an unusual age. The
following instance of protracted longevity is given in a French
journal: After the war with France in the early part of this
John Mackey will have the two finest catalogues presented century, among a number of thoroughbred English horses
to prospective purchasers during the year 1890. One is for Beot to the Hanoverian Cavalrv was one which had served in

the thoroughbred division and the other for the trotters
The latter will probably go East in March, but the thorough'
breda will not be sent back until the middle of June.

Mr. A. J. Cassatt, who is reported to have retired from turf
circles, is known to be oppoBed to the prevailing short dis-
tance races, and is in favor of a higher standard. He wants
horses to go cup distances, and also desires to see weight
for age races. There are many lovers of turf sports who
would like to see just such races as Mr. Cassatt is in favor
of.

Almost every newspaper published in San Francisco has
had more or less to say in reference to the proposed outting
up of the Bay District Track for building purposes, and all
seem to bewail the fact that there is no eligible Bite for a
new one. Before the present track is sold off there will be a
new one built, and there are quite a number of hornemen
that can guess where it will be located. It may, or it may
not, be controlled by a jockey olub, but at any rate it will be
almost as convenient as the present one.

The SargentB Park races were to be held at Gilroy two
weeks ago, and although the weather had been very change-
able and several postponements took place, the programme
was eventually got through. The 2:45 class was won by C.
Lynde's Daisy S by Brown Jug in 2:47, 2:46, 2:45. The spe-
cial was won in straight heats, 2:50, 2:47. 2:44. by H. Heeox"
Harry by John Sevenoaks. The mixed race was won by a
pacer called Marble, entered by Mr. Cox, who won the last
three heats in 2:34. 2:32 and 2:33, after Maud H had taken
the fir*t two in 2:32 and 2:30.

The Sargent Purse for Jiin Mulvenna and Brown Jug, two-
year-olds, wan easily won by Captain Harris' Loreua by Jim
Mulvenna. Time 2:37} and 2:38. A special lace between
Wyatt/s Lilly Wyatt by Jim Mulvenna and T. Keis' Special
Location by Brown Jug was won by Lady Wyatt in straight
heats.

A reporter of The Horseman recently had a conversation
with an old Kentucky turfman, and the wonderful perform-
ance of the trotting stallion Palo Alto, 2:12}, by Electioneer,
dam Dame Winnie, by Planet, was discussed. The gentle-
man said: "lam not surprised that Palo Alto can trot fast,
for Planet, the sire of his dam, was the fastest trotting thor-
oughbred horse I ever saw, and had a smooth, faultless
action. He was a high-strung, nervous horse, and when
started at his work early in the spring he would invariably
get away from the company and go too fast. A gag-bit was
put on him and the exercise boy instructed not to let him gj
out of a trot. He took kindly to the new way of going, a^d
befoie he was ready for fast gallops he had learned to trot
very fast. He trotted a mile over the Woodburn track close
to three minutes, and was timed three miles in nine minutes.
In the spring of his four-year-old form he was taken to the
old Woodlawn track near Louisville to be prepared for the
races, and as usual took his exercise at the trotting gait. The
superintendent of the track had issued strict orders that no
trotting horseB were to ba worked over the course. One
morning he saw Planet taking his exercise at a merry clip,
and forthwith boiled over with anger to think that his orders
had been disregarded. He hurried out on the track and or-
dered the boy to pull up and get off the track. When he was
finally convinced that the horBe was none other than the
great racehorse Planet he was thunderstruck, and was never
known to say anything about trotting horses afterward."

W. R. Allen of the Allen Farm, has sold to Dr. H. C.
Wann, for the Claireview Stock. Farm, Detroit, Mich., the
chestnut filly Siva, by Guy Wilkes 2:15}, dam Sable Hay-
ward by PoBcora Hayward, record 2;23A; second dam Salle
by The Moor, sire of Saltan 2:24; third dam Gretchen bv

foaled in 1887, and last May paced a mile in 2:24— a faBt clip
for a two-year-old. Her second foal sold in New York last
March at auction, and was bought as a yearling by Mr. C. J.
Hamlin of Buffalo, for $5,500. Both are colts and full
brothers to Siva, the filly purchased by Dr. Wann. Sable,
the graudam, is the dam of Sable Wilkes, three year-old

THE GUN,

Almost a Serious Accident.

While out hunting sometime since Dr. Df£. Cate. c?£
cluded he would use Dr. Moore's "pet'' gun When at the
first shot it bnrsted just beyond where he held it with his left
hand The gun wa3 perfectly clean, and only a quail load in
ft There was no split either way from where the >Dlug of
one inch long flew out. The gun was sent back to E T. Al-
ten from whom it was bought, bat he was unwilling to re-
place the barrels, so he sent the gun to Parker Bros, the
manufacturers, and they were too poor or mean to replace
Their faulty work, without $15 extra charge for pew barrels
I haVe hitherto recommended the Parker gun. I will now
take it all back and say bay any other m«ke instead. Your
hunti"g f"eud, J- J- MooRE.-Plumas National.

[We clip and publish the foregoing excerpt from an ex-
change issued at Quincy, Plumas County, and present sev-
eral reasons for the republication The first is that such an
item if unchallenged, is liable to work iojory to a man whom
we know very well, Mr. E. T. Allen, at 416 Market street,
San Francisco, and a second reason is that the Parker Bros.
of Meriden, Conn., and their methods of doiog business may
not be as well knowuto Plumas County readers as to those in
more'.thickly settled districts, where interchange of ideas and
experiences among sportsmen is more common. In a gener-
al way it may b£ said, and the assertion will be supported by
every fair man who has ever done business with either firm,
both M?. Allen and the Parker Bros, always Btand ready to
make good any loss resultant upon defective workmanship in
arms made and supplied by them. In selling Parker guns
Mr. Allen sells merely as an agent of Parker Bros, and has
nothing whatever to do with the makiug or proving of the
guns. Neither he nor any other agent can, nor should he,
give any further guarantee than the maker gives him, and
even then the guarantee is not a personal one. The Parker
Bros, have for years been not only willing but anxious to re-
plaoe free of charge any portion of any gun made by them
whioh failed through defeotive workmanship, poor materials
or carelessness in inspection, and it iB the highest possible
recommendation that the shot guns made by them could re-
ceive that it is only rarely that they have been called upon to
meet euch demands.

It is true that Parker guns burst now and then, as do guns
by any and every other maker, and it is also true that fools
ajid carelesB men are bred, despite the laws of natural selec-
tion and the survival of the fittest.

But where a Parker gun barrel cracks or chips or bursts in
the absence of any obstruction, we think we are safe in say-
ing that ten thousand guns are spoiled because of the pres-
ence of such obstruction. There is an absolutely sure way
in which to tell whether an obstruction has caused injury to
barrels oi not. The way is sort of a secret and should re-
main bo, or elBe the evidence would be removed by every
man who. like the writer of the item quoted above, iB willing
to permit his own contemptible little self-interest to prompt
him to malicious attempts to "get even," as he probably
terms it. We do not know Moore; don't wish to kuow him;
feel flattered that we do not know him; never expect to
know him, but when in his fatuity and self-complacency he
attempts to set at naught the business honor and experience
of two such firms as E. T. Allen and Parker Bros., we feei
bound to put upon him the mark whioh Bhould distinguish
him as an ignoramus, an unfair man, and an undesirable
oustomer.— Field Ed.]

A Pertinent Query.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— By request of the G.
V. S. C, I write to you to ascertain the beat steps for our
club to take that they may obtain their pro rata of the game
that is to be introduced into California. We have ample
facilities for trials of this kind, and are exceeding anxious to
undertake it. Kindly advise us in relation to the matter,
and you will place our club under obligations.

M. P. Stone, Sec. G. V. S. C.

Grass Valley, Dec. 7, 1889.

[Secretary Stone's letter is but one of many of similar tenor
which have come to this office since the FiBh Commission
announced its determination to introduce foreign game birds,
and in order to save needless repetition in answering such
letters privately, we reply to Mr. Stone and other interested
persona through these columns. The Fish CommisBion,
through Beveral agents, is moving in the matter of obtaining
bob-white quails, aud will have a few hundred dozens on
hand about February. The birds will be distributed, we are
informed, only to localities where there is reasonable pros-
pect of their being protected for a Beaaon or two, or even a
longer time. Those who wish booio of the birds Bhould
address the Board of Fifth Commissioners at Sacramento
stating the conditions present at the placea where it is pro-
posed to turn the birds down; whether water, cover, mild
weather, food in plenty, freedom from vermin and protection
from poaohers can be insured. Such applications are placed
on file by the Fish Commissions, and if the information
furnished is not exhaustive, correspondence ia at once begun.
The Board desires to be fully informed about twenty or
thirty placea whero bob-whites can be planted and properly
oared for. The bob-white, even more than'the California
qua' i, is exposed to the attacks of sunken, cooob, foxes and
otli'-r vermin, because it is essentially n ground bird, and
KXbft things being equal, it would seem that large estates,
b.,hhly improved and constantly traversed by workmen, would

l ;he proper places to plant the birds, whioh would Block
rrounding localities by natural increase.— Ei>.]

From the State Board of Forestry.

Editor Breeder, and Sportsman:— In view of the fact that
the sportsmen of California have as lively an interest as any
one in any measures calculated to be potent auxiliaries in the
preservation of fish and game, you are requested to forward
one of the accompanying memoirs to Washington, and to dis-
tribute the remainder to people whom you may think would
oommand the attention of their Representative and consent
to endorse them in substance as the sample, and send them
on under their own signature. A vigorous forestry campaign
will be instituted this winter in Washington, and California
(so deeply concerned) should be heard from with no uncer-
tain will.

In view of the necessarily mutual bonds identifying your
interests with ours, I feel assured jou will condone this tres-
paBB upon y>nr time and leave no stone unturned to further
the ends of forest preservation. Your co-operation, and that
of all brother sportsmen throughout the coast, either by in-
terview or personal correspondence with their Representa-
tive, is earnestly solicited, with the assurance that all such
efforts will be highly appreciated by the B-iard. Very truly
your*, Wm- s- Lyon, ForeBter.

Los Angeles, Dec. 3, 1889.

[Accompanying Mr. Lyon's letter came a package of eopieB
of the memorial addressed by the State Board of Forestry to
CongreBS. The memorial presents succinctly and eloquently
the arguments which should influence Congress to assist act-
ively in preserving existent timber growths and in replacing
forests as they are destroyed by commercial demands. The
memorial is well worth study, and we shall be very pleased
to forward copies to any who care to send requests for them.

It is in some respect a pity to be deprived of the rule of Jack
Frost with his chilly architecture and wonderful tracery, but
then there are alleviations.

A Wildfowl Hunt in British Columbia.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman; — One bright November
day about noon, a wagon drew up in front of the Drug Store,
which vehicle contained an assorted and variegated load. A
light shell of a canoe protruded from behind, a tent was dis-
covered folded up. three or four shell boxes, halt a dozen
guns and rifles, snndry large and heavy well tilled baskets,
help to fill the wagon box.

Seated upon one seat Bits the engineer, Billy and npon
the other Beat is Arthur.

The Engineer whistles merrily and the Druggist soon sd-
pears armed to the teeth accompanied by a pair of eager red
dogs.

"AH aboard for Sumas Lake," yellB the Engineer.

"Let her go" responds the pill mixer, as he deposits his
load along side the other brie a brae, and jumps" into the
seat.

Billy's whip cracks and away they go, for a nine mile run
into British Columbia, where they intend exchanging nu-
merous loads of shot for geese aud duoks.

The journey through valley and forest, along stream and
slough ii at last finished.

The flats and meadow surrounding the lake are spread be-
fore them, a beautiful sight, mountains on every side rear
their snow capped crests heavenward.

The lake, a shining glistening sheet of pure cold water,
Bpecked in all directions by myriad waterfowl which gladdens
the sight of our eager sportsmen.

Kah, kab, kah, kab, kah, a flock of Mallard whistle by
over head a-honk a-honk hear the geese, a long line swinging
wedge shaped toward the water.

Many such souue's fill the air with noise, flock after flock
pitched down to join the thousands already there.

The EDgiueer and Druggist spring from their seats, put
their guns together, fill pockets with phells directing the boy
to keep on the trail, then make their way along a slough to-
ward the lake, then eyes scanning the marsh closely squack.
Bquack, away go a flock a head too far off for Bhot a ten min-
ute walk and another bunch of five Mallard spring up

Bang, bang, bang.

Three shots bring dowu two birds, one being winged gives
not a short chase hefore he brings it into his master.

Seiip, scaip, a pair of snipe dart away from under foot.
The lake being reached, the camp iB at onoe fixed up, tent
pitched, a goodly supply of loga got ready for the evening
fire horses picketed out, and the hunters are ready for busi-
ness.

One of the boys takes biH canoe in hand, depositing it in
the lake. He silently paddles out into deep water, heading
toward the island where he intends making his blind for the
night.

The other two boys each Belect a clump of bushes for their
blind for the evening'* flight of geese into the lake.

The drnggiM takes his decoys to a celery covered pond,
erectB his blind and awaits with caller inhand some "victims
for to shoot."

The engineer, be at once gets him to a celebrated flyway.
Darkness will soon compel the shooters to get them to their
camp; the wind whistles a mournful dirge through the trees
near at hand; the cry of the coon wails o'er the lake and
marsh.

Bang, ho! ho! a strange gun is heard far out in the luke; a

streak of fire is seen, the smoke rolls away and a great swarm
of geese and water fowl of all kinds 611 the air with noise as
they raiBe from the water, fly from danger and settle down
again.

A strange canoe is Been guided by no seen hand or paddle,
but still it moves, slowly, cautiously, it glides ahead, nearly
level with the waters.

An Indian iB therein lying flat in the bottom of his frail
oanoe- The Siwash skillfully and silently sb death propels
his bark along with one hand over Btern, be paddles toward
a flock of geese not far away,

The druggist now gets a shot, a lonely canvas back passes
by; turning he swings directly over the decoys. A swift bead
is taken, the gun swung many feet ahead of the swiftly, mov-
ing bird.

Bang, down he drops. Eis mate who came near meeting
the same fate turns in time, and gets out of danger.
Boom, speaks the engineer's gun in the distance.

Bang, bang, the boys are also getting in their work.

Now the fun grows fast and fmious, mallard, canvas back,
widgeon and teal, whistle, wh:z and whir overhead.

Many geese now being heard making their way to the lake,
the guns are hushed, etch man crouching closer and longing
for a shot at some of the many flocks of Canada geese and
brant.

Boom, the engineer has got one.

Bang, boom, bang, go the b3ys gons, the echoe3 ringing
back and forth from the mountain Bides.

A flock of six settle down in the water near the Druggist,
but out of reach of his gun, reconuoiteiing the ground about;.
The gloomy mantle of night will favor bis design Dropping
to bis face he crawls alni'g beside a ridge till he comee close
enough he thinks; then raising his head, there they are about
sixty yards away. Throwing his gun to his face as they take
wing, two flames of fire leap out; a cloud of smoke obscures
the view for a second, but before the echoes of the report
die booming away in the distance, the pill slinger proudly
holds aloft an Emperor goose.

D irkne^s now covers the scene. A few minutes more and
all are back to cimp. A huge fire "ib soon built and the hun-
gry hunters get ready a humble but very welcome meal.
Comparing notes it is discovered that the engineer has killed
one Canada goose, one Brant, three Mallard, two Teal, one
Canvas-back and three Widgeon. The Druggist one goose,
one Canvas-back, two Mallards, one Teal, two Widgeon and
one Harlequin.

The boys, for all their banging, can only displays pair of
Wilgeon.

Supper over, a few more logs are piled upon the fire, and
five tired but satisfied hunters settle down tor a comfortable
chat, when a Siwash musket is heard near at hand.

"We've got neighbors. Siwash camp near by. They are
firing off their guns to clean them for the morning's hunt,"
ejaculated the Engineer.

"Let's go over and visit "hem."

The Engineer and the boys go over to a clump of bushes
where the Indians' tire is seen, the Druggist staying to mind
the camp:

After a short absence they return with the Indians, who
canie to see the white man's camp.

There are three of them — market hunters. One of them a
good looking, honest Siwash, the other two rather forbidding
looking individuals. One involuntarily thinkB of his horses
and game as their black and bead like eyes rest upon one
after the other.

The better appearing Indian exhibits great curiosity upon
noticing decoys, which he has never seen before; in fact,
decoys heretofore have been unknown articles upon any of
these lakes.

"Heap funny duck. What for them':" asks the Lummi.

Upon beiDg informed of their use the Indian dives down
into one picket after another, and evidently not beinp sati-
ned with his search, he points toward his camp.

"Me give while man one, two goose for coitus duck."

Upon being informed that they were not for sale he turns
sorrowfully back to his camp, followed by his stolid looking
and silent companions, who cast a last longing look upon the
modern breech loaders.

Beside the roaring fire the tent is pitched, hot coals are
raked over the Band wbeie the blankets for the bed are to be
spread. Baking them off, a warm, dry sand is soon covered
with blankets, and five tired hunteis are soon asleep.

The honking of many geese awakens them long before day-
light. Their breakfast of roast potatoes and duck, coffee and
sandwiches over, plans are laid for the day.

The Engineer and the Druggist take np their stand behind
a ridge, which proves an excellentrly way, the boys selecting
fly ways some distance apart.

Being still dark, a delay is necessary, Geese can be heard
but not distinguished through the darkness, but soon dim
objects can be made out swiftly passing overhead. Three
Mallard with outstretched necks glide by, followed by several
streaks of fire and as many heavy reports, a splash in the
water, and silence again reigns. Sundry bangs from the
boys' gnns liven things up a little.

A nudge from the engineer caused Jay to turn around to
behold a splendid flock of geese with set wings sailing in;
closer they come till near enough to the choke bored guns.
"What big fellowB they are! what long necks!" How grand
they look! 'Tis a pity to destroy such noble creatures.

When the smoke rolls away two dead and one winged bird
lay close by.

No more shots being offered the game is packed to camp,
where the boys soon arrive, but with very little game.

The engineer cautions them against so much indiscrimin-
ate firing as they have been indulging in. "Don't shoot till
your birds are cloee up to you, and take careful aim at each
bird; don't try any more gun straining shots or shooting at
the flock. One sure shot is worth fifty wild shots, and the
game is not Beared to death."

The engineer now goes to one of the lakes for mallard and
oanvas-back. The druggist resumes his former blind, his de-
coys placed enticingly some thirty yards away. The boys
take their canoe out to the lake, where they Boon begin
another fnsilade. which arouses the wrath of the Indians,
who paddle up, the spokesman of the party addressing them
in no modest manner

"What for you bang, bang all time for, soare all birds
away. You no shoot so much no more, coitus boj's. Me
sboot one time me get one goose; you shoot fourteen, fifteen
times no get any gooBe, pooh!"

Shaking their fists at the bnys, they paddle crossly away.

The druggist, after waiting patiently some time, at last is
rewardfd A band of green wiDged teal flit by, return, pass
over dec\vB, swerve back again, then settle down near by.

A single canvas-back, upon whom Jay's eyes have been
fixed, sails overhead well up, turns, and swings down over
water. Jay springs up, the bird is covered, bang, down it
coined, aud up get the teal, the other barrel wingins one
whioh Nat soon brings to his master's feet; returning he re-
trieves the canvaB-back.

A couple of mallards fly by and escape, though followed by
several loads of coarse shot.

The engineers gun is heard from time to time.

The boys since their scolding have not been heard from,
but several strange guns boom in the distance. The Indian's
muBkets are heard from time to time.

After a pleasant morn'ng's shooting, each party making a
good bag, Doon being announced from camp by Billy, all
returD for dinner, the druggist leaviog his decoys in the
water till the afternoon's shooting. Not many rods away he
discoveis a bear track in the sand upon like shore, and near
by another track, too large for a deer, shows where an elk
had come to quench his thiivt the evening before. A third
track is seen which at first is mistaken for a bears', but
closer scrutiny shows it to be the bare foot of the Kloofch-
man, who travels all weather without being shod.

"Well, boys, we will get home in the morniog," says the
engineer. "I wish the Siwashes would punch your heads,
boys, for shooting so often at random."

Bang! goes a gun near at hand.

The druggist springs to his feet. "My decoys are blown
ont of the water. I'll bet some blamed pot-hunter is getting
in his bloody work on them," and off he dashes, dropping a
red-hot potato down Arthur's collar. Soon returning, all out
of breath with laughing, he bursts ont: "A youna S:wash
fired both barrels into my cedar mallards, not thirty ftet
away."

"I guess your decoys will ueed new heads?" qu-th the
engineer.

'•Not much; they covered them all over with mud, but
never touohed them."

After dinner the campers take a walk around to see how
thiDgs look, many new shooters having come to the lake, at
least 20 having been seen during the morning, it i-* proposed
that two of the boys take the rifles and bring in a detr if pos-
sible, many tracks being cut into the wet sand in every di-
rection.

The Druggist and Engineer go into the meadow acd marsb,
for snipe, geese and ducks, a flook of mallard is soon jumped
a few bil'ed, but the noise has put up a gane of geese which
sail away hut are marked down over a ridge, the engineer
crawls on a1 1 fours to the right, while the druggist ciril>-s
to the left, after a tedious and muddy crawl a head is cau-
tiously thrust above the ridge, the geese are some 200 yards
away yet another careful crawl and 125 yards only intervene.

Now surely some of those geese are doomed.

Alas an Indian's d -<g rushes at them, and the whole gang
containing many dozens take wing wirh lots of babbling and.
honking, and fly directly away fro-n the hunters iaisiug up
oue, two, yes, a dozen Siwashes rise from the groand in all
directions, none of them getting a shot. N>w the geese get
up in several other places, and leave the tield to tLe Indians
and two pile faces, not one of tho^e hunters knowing of the
presence of any of the others till after the miserable cur ap-
peared upon the scene.

"Jay. that settles it: it's getting too crowded here, let's get
off home."

Sadly the hunters return to camp, where they find the
boys who have returned fr m a fruitless hunt for deer and
bear, reporting too many market hunters ahead of them.

Camp is broken np. outfit loaded into wagoD, and the nine
miles trip for home is made, a number of ducks and snipe
and fifteen pheasants picked up on the way.

The boundary line is passed; two miles more and the hunt-
ers stop at a run to pick up a few salmon, which now are
packed in countless numbers in every stream, hnodreds of
tine Balmon laying rotten up3n the banks from previous
runs. ,

The mode of procedure is simple; a hand is thrust under a
log or bank, a tail seized, the other hand slowly fe^-l-i its way
along the back, two fir gers inserted nnder the gills, and a
ten-pound wriggling, struggling t-a'mon thrown on the bank.
If it is a dog salmon it is returned to the water; if a good tish
it is retained, especially if it has not been in fresh water too
long. Three fish apiece are secured, and off' again for
home. Jay See En.

Clearbrook, Whatcom Co , Wash., Dec. 4, 1889.

Protect the Game-

Some birds, such as the quail, have a wonderfal instiut of
self preservation and the latter has not as yet diminished to
the amount that might have been expected from the constant
onslaughts made upon it, but the cause that will most snrely
bring about the early extiociou of the quail in the proceed-
ing of certain lawless hunters who prowl over the farmer's
lands bent apparently on inflicting as much mischief as lies
in their power. These ruthless hunters break down the
fences draw out the pickets and leave great gaps for the cat-
tle to stray through even in places where facilities have been
provided to enable them to get over the fences without incon-
venience.

What wonder then if the farmers instead of encouraging
the breeding of quail on their grounds, should place every
difficulty in the way, te which case with the rapid clearance
of wood and brush that is daily taking place, the quail de-
prived of any secure breeding place will rapidly become a
thing of the past.

The wild duck may probably have a longer tenure, owing
to its migratory habitB,but Lbeirnombersare said to be already
much less than they were a few years back, and constant
harassing will soon drive the remaining ones to more
peaceful regions.

As to the professional hunter, i e., the man who trusts to the
gnn for a precarious livelihood — be has no locus sttnli in a
settled, industrious agricultural community. He is an idle
1< af< r who di-troys for hiH sole benefit the game which would
provide numbers nf industrious meo with occasional recrea-
tion. He should be systematically discouraged" and relegat-
ed to the wiHs where his distractive propensities might still
find profitable employment.

A very encouraging "straw" to those who are especially
interested in game conservation is the interest manifested in
that behalf by the daily press and by influential weeklies
pablished in outlying centers of population.

The San Francisco Examiner, has recently given editorial
utterance in support of the game laws of the soundest and
most effective sort. The sportiDg editor of the San Fran-
oisco Chronicle, Mr. Thomas Flynn, has written many
pointed paragraphs for which sportsmen should be grateful.
The San Francisco Call has given up columns to discussion
of various phases of the game and tish interests and other
metropolitan journals have recently been outspoken on the
side of the Fish Commission. The Sonoma Democrat, a lead-
ing country journal in its la=it issue, gives ppace to the follow-
ing article which should be read by all who care to maintain
ft supply of game. The writer says:

A controversy has, for some time, be en earned on in the
papers on the subject of the reservation of considerable
tracts of wild land, in different parts of the State, by sporting
club?, to enable their members to exercise the sole right of
hunting over those tracts which heretofore had been open to
the public. , , . .

Mv sympathies would naturally be enlisted on the side of
the many who are thus deprived of a healthy recreation
which they had looked upon as their birthright; but if pro-
miscuous hunting is allowed to go on at the rate it is sure to
do is it not to be feared, that with the improvement end
cheapness of tire arms, the game birdB and wild animals Btill
existing may not eoon be exterminated and share the fate
that ban' already fallen to the lot of the buffalo and antelope?

Sa isf-tctory hunting can only be carried out under two
conditions: either when a country i* soarsely settled and the
fene nature have as yet been but little disturbed; or when,
after the land has come into cultivation, the owners reserve
the right of hunting over tkeir grounds for themselves and
their friends. .

Any places that are op^n to promiscuous hunting, must of
necessity be soon depopulated of game where the human
population is considerable. Man is a destructive animal,
and will restrain the instinct, and beep it within bounds
only when he has a direct interest in doing so, which ih not
the case with the promiscuous hunter, whoBe only interest is
to fill his bas while there is a chaoce of doing so.

In many Eurupean countries yon may travel, for days with-
ont coming across any other representatives of the feathered
tribes than a few crows and magoies, though only a few
years ago good wild sport was to be obtained.

A Baltimore man, Mr. Geo. F. French, is credited by the
Sun of that city, with having tud a deer down, grabbed it by
the antlers, pulled it onto his horse, and carried it home.
The paper does not give collateral evidence enough to justify
unreserved acceptance of the yarn.

Last Sunday morning, between 10 and 11 o'clock, a sad ac-
cident occurred in Casserly district near Watsonville, that
caused the death of Everrett W., son of Mr. and Mrs. C. H
Cornell, of Pajaro. Mr. Cornell has always refused to per-
mit his boys (o hunt on Sundays, hut that morning a boy
named Joe Perez came along with a gun, and the boys finally
aereed to go with him to watch him shoot rabbits. In at-
tempting to cross a fence on John Donaboe's farm Perez ac-
cidentally discharged his shot gun and the load struck young
Cornell in the head, killing him instantly. The remains of
the boy wr3 taken to the home of hi« parents, and the fun-
eral took place the following day. The deceased was a pro.
rinsing boy, and his death is a severe blow to hiB family
Perez was blameless in the matter, and keenly feels the re-
salt of hiB hunting trip.

The Eastern Field Trials Club's Eleventh An-
nual Meeting— The All-Age Pointer Stake.

The A 11- Age Pointer Stake beean on Friday, November
22nd. There were sixteen starters. There was a departure
ir the manner of judging, the quality of the dogs' work be-
ing considered as well as the quantity

The quantity of work in a short heat is often a matter of
one dog having a greater number of opportunities, and the
beBt judges now realize that quantity is not necessarily de-
cisive in deciding the winner. A'so the finding qualities of
the dogs are receiving a more thorongh test, and if the new
departure is generally adopted, there will be much fewer
erroneous decisions heard of. The "luck" of a dog, luck
which has no existence except under the restrictions of the
present rales, will have ceased to exist with the false system
which fostered the constant element of luck.

The judges were Messrs. H. B. Daryea, A. Merriiran and
Wm.Tallman.

There was very little rushing, the handlers soon realizing
that when the quality of the work was receiving quite as
muoh consideration as the quantity, a new departure was
necessary; in short, they adopted the manner used in ordi
nary hunting. The Btake was very skillfully judged. Kip
Bap, the winner, has already been mentioned in connection
with the Derby, in which stake he won second.

Lebanon and Count Fauster have run in previous trials and
are well known.

Woolton Game, Mr F. K. Hitchcook's importation, ran
yerv creditably and showed a high degree of quality, much
more than Count Fauster, and was deserving ot third place

On the whole the trials of the Eistern Field Trials Club
for this year were the best judgbd and the best managed of
any trials which have preceded them )n America. With
changed grounds and improved rules, both of which are earn
eatly contemplated by the clab, great improvement will be
made in the near future.

Some half dozen or more letters have come to this office
from gentlemen interested in the coming field trials, gawking
why jodges are not chosen and announced, and one or two
of the writers, notably those who have no dog to run. verge
upon heat in remarks about what they term the "negligence"
of the club. It is a sufficient answer to say that there exists
no rule requiring the announcing of names of jadgts at any
time. The complaisance of field trial clubs has led them in
the^psst to publish their judges as soon as secured, and we
are informed that the names of those selected by the Pacifio
CoaBt jField Trials Club will be handed to us in time to be
sent out next week.

Those who have not bad experience in field trials and in
selecting judges can know nothing of the perplexities which
assail Executive Committees when they set about securing
jadgea.

The post is an onerous oue, is without reward, and invari*
ably draws down upon the incumbent the adverse criticism
of some of tbo-io who do not win. Comparatively few men
are willing to forego the pleasure in store for one who merely
rides about enjoying the work of the dogs without responsi
t-ility, for the sike of judging, and of those who are willing to
judge only a fraction ponsess the habit of miod, experience
and freedom from personal bias which should characterize
the j^dge. The Executive Committee may be relied upon to
procure Ihe very best available men, and it ie a certainty
that the coming trials will be jadged in perfect disinterest-

Emasculated Game Laws.

The beat efforts of the most thorouohly informed
sportsmen as embodied in the present statutes relative
to fish and game seem likely to be set at naught by the
peculiar interpretations given to the enactments by police
and other justices. Whether or not lawyers look for or-
dinary intelligence and average knowledge of the rules
of evidence in justices courts we do not know, but the
layman whose liberty and reputation must rest primarily
upon the honesty &nd professional fitness of the courts
in which preliminary examinations are made, certainly
has cause for alarm when it can be demonstrated that
many such courts are either ignorant of the law or un-
willing to be guided by its tenets. We are not unaware
that knowledge of the importance of fish and game con-
servation is not so widely diffused as it should be, bat
we know that a very large element in every community
fully supports the State in appointing Fish and Game
Commissioners and upholds thuse officers in vigorously
enforcing the laws for the oDeration of which they are
specifically responsible. Bat neither Fish Commission-
ers or outraged public feeling seem to be effective in
arousing certain justices to wisdom and honesty.

The most judiciously made arrests, in which conclusive
evidence is secured and properly presented, leaving no
legitimate loop-hole through which a demagogish, vote-
desiring justice can crawl, fail because the justices trust
to the forgetfuluess of the public to cover abominable
truckling to those whom they fancy will repay utter
debasement by future political preference. To what
verge justices of the Bort mentioned may go, we dare not
venture to surmise. It has been the lot of those interested
in prosecuting offenders against the game laws, to see
the most flagrant perjury and most unblushing corrup-
tion of officers of Courts succeed in freeing men as to
whom there could not be in any honest mind a doubt of
guilt.

In some so-called ''Courts of justice," which might
more properly be styled "Courts of connivance to enrich
the creature who chanceB o be presiding," the justices
absolutely ignore law, evidence, argument, right and
decency, and when stigmatize!, attempt to shield them-
selves behind pleaa, tbe trumped up and wholly inade-
quate character of which would do discredit to a wholly
depraved six months old "artful dodger."

It is not consonant with our purpose at this time to
discuss particular cases of dereliction on the part of jus-
tices, but when a little time has passed and calm consid-
erat on becomes possible, we feel assured no canon of
propriety will bo violated in taking up mfln by man
the te who use tbe power given them for good ends, to
pi ■ * it uti; tbe law and look for reward either in canh or

i tautial recognition of another sort.

The Stanford Stakes.

As wilt be seen by reference to the advertisement,
payments are due in the Stanford Stakes on the second
of next month, and instead of forwarding money, as in
the past, the Secretary of the P. C. T. H. B. A. is the one
to whom all remittances must be sent in future. "When
the Breeders' Association was started the Directors of the
Stanford Stakes turned over all their affairs to tbe new
society, and hereafter this well known event will be
managed by the Association.

The Los Angeles Winter Meeting.
A telegram from the Secretary of the Southern Cali-
fornia Racing Association notifies us that the entry list
for the winter meeting is a very large one, and that the
class of horses entered warrant the assumption that tbe
contests will be of the best. Los Angeles has always
been a favorite place for the horsemen to visit, and we
can readily believe that the number which will visit the
Southern metropolis during Christmas and New Tears
will in no wise regret the trip. Many of the horBes now
at the Bay District Track will shortly be shipped for Los
AngeleB, and when they meet the Southern contingent
"the fur will fly."

The New York Jockey Club.

The new aggregation of race-loving gentlemen who
comprise the New York Jockey Club, are determined
that California shall know what they propose doing
next year, and this week have a full page advertisement
setting forth the events that close on January 2d. There
are races for two-year-olds, three-year-olds and for all
ages, and the distances are as varied as possible, giving
all owners a chance to enter in some one or mora of the
fixed events. A rather novel race is the Toboggan Slide
Handicap, the weights for which will be announced
February 1st, and declarations are due on the 20th of
the same month. Penalties will accrue for winning
horses after April 1st, so that some of the owners who
contemplate making entries will have to be careful about
winning at the spring meeting of the Blood Horse Asso-
ciation.

The stake, however, that should command the most
attention is the "Matron," to which is added the enor-
mous sum of $15,000.

It is in reality a futurity stake, and if patronized 3S it
deserves to be should prove one of the largest stakes run
for in 1892. There are the usual penalties and allow-
ances and certain conditions -that should be carefully
read by every breeder in the State. The Association has
come to stay, the Directors have the proper conception of
turf matters, and it will not take long for the New York
jockey Club to occupy the premier position among the
various jockey clubs of America.

The Ten Broeck: Case.

After long delays and tedious waiting, the case of
Richard Ten Broeck has been decided, the jury declaring
that the old gentleman was in his sound mind and fit to
look after his own affairs.

The testimony was of a most peculiar nature, Mrs. Ten
Broeck and her friends testifying to the strange actions
of the defendent, while many friends and acquaintances
of Mr. Ten Broeck went on the stand and swore they
considered him of perfectly Bound mind. He was asked
to testify in his own behalf, and gave a detailed history
of his life up to the time he came to California two years
ago. He was born in New York about SO years ago. In
1829 he was sent to the military academy at West Point,
but did not remain long enough to graduate. Among
his fellow students were Leo and Magruder of Virginia
and General Emory of Maryland. While he was living
at the Coon House his weapons, which he kept as curios,
ities, were sectetly taken from his room. His wife was
in San Francisco, and sent a man down to nurse him.
The first thing this man did was to forcibly Bearch him
and he was convinced took $10 from his pockets. Prior
to this time lawyer Highton came down on two different
occasions, bringing Drs. Buckly and Wilkins. Tbe
former he introduced to as a Louisiana planter and the
latter an English gentleman. The nurse followed him to
Meulo Park the next day and attempted to take him
from his wagon.

Ten Broeck struck him with the whip and knocked
him in mud. He believed the person to be intent on kid-
napping him He afterwards learned that the two
physicians were counected with mad houses, and was
firmly convinced that there was a conspiracy on foot to
put him out of the way. The nurse continued to remain
around the house until forced to leave by a deputy sher-
iff from Mayfield. Ho told about Dr. Goodspeed bring-
ing another nurse to his house at San Mateo, whom he
ordered from the place. Did no; want a man to take
•are of him, but desired a woman. Never said his wife
wanted to poison him. On cross examination he denied

agreeing to have a guardian appointed. Was born a free
man and like Patrick Henry, wanted "Liberty or
Death." His testimony was a complete and emphatic
denial of that introduced by the other side. He showed
a remarkable memory.

The result of the trial was a sourco of much gratifica-
tion to the friends of Mr. Ten Broeck, and he has re-
ceived congratulations from all quarters.

Robert Bonner and His Horses.

The New York Sportsman of Saturday, October 26th,
contained an account of an interview between the well
known turf journalist "Albemarle" and Robert Bonner.
In the course of the interview there appears the follow-
ing:

"What do you think of the ohsnees for Axtell to train on?"
I asked.

"That is a hard question to answer, " was the reply. "I
have been reading your articles 'Colts That Trained On,' and
I have thought an interesting subject for the next series
would be 'Colts That Did Not Train On.' "

"Of coarse, there is a great difference in horses," contin-
ued Mr. Bonner. "When Rarns was a youngster he gave
bat little promise of trotting in 2:13|. He came to his speed
year by year. My experience wich precocious youngsters is
that they seldom improve in speed later on. As an example,
I bought Lady Stout with a record of 2:29 at three years of
age. It was a wonderful performance then, sbe being tbe
first of that age to beat 2:30. In after years, although care-
fully trained, the fastest mile she could Bhow was 2:26.
Coming down to the present, we have Sable Wilkes, with a
record of 2:13 at three years, and in his four-year-old form he
was not able to beat it, while this year he has apparently
done nothing."

While picking out two horses to cite as instances of
those who did not train on, Mr. Bonner recalls one of his
own, and then quotes a California horse as one that did
not train on. We were confident that Mr. Bonner did
not know the circumstances attending the withdrawal of
Sable Wilkes from track work this year, but like many
others have done before him, jumped at conclusions. In
trying to uphold the reputation of a California ho-se th«
following appeared on the Gossip page of the Breeder,
and Sportsman of November 2nd:

Robert Bonner, the well known horseman, is reported to
have asked "Pilot Jr.," who has written many papers on
"colts that trained on," to write something about* colis thut
have not trained on, and he instances the ease of Sable
Wilkes, who as a three year old obtained a record of 2:18, but
says Mr. Bonner: "In his four year old form he was not
able to beat it, while this year be has apparently done noth-
ing." There are some things in this world that Mr. Bonner
does not know, and the doings of Sable Wilkes seems to be
one of them. As ft four year old there was nothing to force
him to his best, and yet it is a well known fact that he has
been sent faster than his record Bhows. This year Mr. Cor-
bitt offered to trot Sable Wilkes against Favonia 2:15 and
Stamboul 2:14j£, but the owner of the latter objeoted to an
open race, and consequently Babls was thrown out of train-
ing and relegated to the stud, having do chance to race this
year. By the way, Pilot Jr., did you ever hear of nnytbiug
training on after Bonner got hold of it? Suppose you com-
mence at his stock farm.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I see in a late issue of
the New York Sportsman an interview with Mr. Robert Bon-
ner, in which that gentleman cites Sable Wilkes 2:18 as an
instance of oolts that have not trained on. The following
are the facts: Sable Wilkes was placed in my hands in the
fall of 1886. and was then two years old. I worked him not
to exceed two months, and drove him a mile in 2:2S. He was
then taken to the farm, and returned to me in May, 1887.
During that season (87) he won all hia stake engagements,
obtaining a record of 2:IS. In the spring of 18SS he was
placed in the stnd. After a long season, with a little prepar-
ation, be showed a mile in his work in 2:17, last half in l:06t.
A few days later he started against Brown's fonr year old
record, 2:18f, and although the day and track were not favor-
able for fast time, trotted a mile in 2:18.

This spring he was nominated in free for all at the Breed-
ers' Meeting, but the race did uot fill; his owner then decided
to keep him in the stud and not to have him worked. Shonld
Sable Wilkes remain as sonnd in 1890 as he is at present
(providing his owner can spare him from tbe stud) I will
convince the most skeptical tbat he is one of t e colts that
trained on. By kindly giving this note space in your valua-
ble paper you will greatly oblige. Yours truly,

John A. Goldsmith.

San Mateo, Cal., Oct. 31st, 1689.

It is more than passing strange that Mr. Bonner should
have taken exception to tbe item of news and completely
overlooked Mr. Goldsmith's letter. It is just possible
that it did not suit Mr. Bonner to take Mr. Goldsmith's
word as to what Sable Wilkes had done? It looks so on
the face of his letter sent to the New York World, for if
he had taken any cognizance of the latter, his proper
course would have been to send a note to "Albemarle"
apologizing for singling out Corbilt's horse, and stating
tbat he bad made a mistake about Sable Wilkes not
training on. Instead of adopting that course, he hurried
into print, not to show that Sable Wilkes had not trained
on, but that his horses had. The language he used in
the opening of his article is as follows:

"I have just read in the California Breeder and Sports-
man a not over-courteous article, in which tbe editor says:
"Who has ever heard of a horse training on after Mr. Bonner
purchased him '!" and then suggests that a beginning be made
at my farm for information in that line."

Now Mr. Bonner, to have been perfectly fair with the
public, should have inserted in his article the interview
with Albemarle, and also the item of gossip and Mr.
Goldsmith's letter, then each reader of the Bonner letter
would have readily understood the matter at issue. As,
it is he flys behind the sentence "I have just read in the

1889

^lije gmfe mxil M>y8xt$mm.

49o

California Breeder and Sportsman a not over court-
eons article." Mr. Bonner hai not a keen Bense of what
is courteous or what is otherwise, or he would never
have made the remark about Sable Wilkes; he showed a
iaok of conrtesy to Mr. Corbitt, and likewise to Mr.
Goldsmith in ignoring his letter. Now the fact ot the
matter is that Bonuer wants his word taken, while at
the same time he is not willing to take the word of
others. In the long letter sent to the World he gives the
following "records" (made with his own watch).

Rams, 2:11£; Edwin Forrest, 2:11|; Music, 2:18|;
Keene Jim, 2:14£; May Bird, 2.18}; Molsey, 2:18£; John
Taylor, 2:19£; Wellesley Boy, 2:19£; Pocahontas, 2:16£;
Startle, 2:19; Maud Macey, 2:16}; Manette, 2:16£; Lucy
Cuyler, 2.15^ (to wagon); Peerless, 2:23£ (to wagon).

Now Mr. Bonner satisfies himself that because he
■ays that the times given above are correct (according to
his watch), that the horse-loving world will take his
word as to the correctness of the time given. But the
public will do nothing of the sort; they take the authori-
ties, Chester, Wallace, etc., and on hunting up the books,
it is found that the correct time for each of his horses
mentioned is as follows: Earus, 2:13^; Edwin Forrest,
2:18; Music, 2:21*; May Bird, 2:21; Keene Jim, 219^:
Molsey, 2:21§; John Taylor, 2:25; Wellesley Boy, 2:2%
Pocahontas, 2:26f; Startle, 2:37; Maud Macey, 2:27f;
Manette, no record whatever; Lucy Cuyler, no record;
Peerless, no record.

We have purposely omitted the name of Maud S. from
the list given above, as the queen of the turf is the only
one he has that the public know has trained on, and we
are willing to confess that she lowered her record one
second and a half after he purchased her; &nd this is
one, out of probably half a hundred, that has lowered a
record from the time that they were bought by the pres-
ent proprietor. Mr. Bonner's horses have not trained on
according to the accepted idea of what that term means,
and if Albemarle is going to commence a series of
articles on horses of that sort, we again assert, he had
better begin at Bonner's Btable.

Will you please decide the following bet in the columns of
your valuable paper:

A. beta B that True Blue never ran a race in California. B
bets that he did. A, finding after the bet was made that he
was wrong, made a claim for the money, that the horse True
Blue did not run a race because he broke down before the
finish. Now the question to decide is, Did True Blue run a
race?

Answer. — True Blue did run a race in California.

FOR SALE.

The Prices that Trotters have Broueht.

In maximum values as tested by the markets past and
present, there is no equality between the trotter and the
thoroughbred race horee, says Wallace's Monthly. A con-
signment of well bred trotting colts will, under the hammer,
outsell a lot of well bred tboroughbred colts every day of the
year in this country. You may bring the best bred and un"
tried thoroughbred colt in America to the auction block, and
we can pick out several untried trotting bred colts of equal
age that will outsell him. You may bring that champion
among race horses, The Bard, into the ring, and Axtell,
Stamboul or Bell Boy will bring more gold under the hammer
than the son of Longfellow. You take the peerless race horse
Frienzi, almost unbeatable at her best, and you cannot sell
her to a breeder for the price that Sunol would bring. In
short, the trotter is a more valuable borse than the thorough-
bred; and this in spite of the fact that because of the unpro-
gressiveuess of tbe authorities ruling the trotting turf, a brst-
class running horse can earn more money in racing in one
year than a first-class trotter can in three. If the men in
whose hands thoroughbred racing has grown to its present
flourishing condition since the war had stuck as persistently
in the old ruts and been as defiant of decent public senti-
ment as the law makers of the trotting tnrf have been, there
would be few men breeding running horses. Tbe trotter has
reached his "high estate" through the efforts of tbe breeding
element, and has kept his hold upon the pnelic despite the
stand-still methods of the turf, because the American people
love and admire him for himself, and regard him as more
than simply a racing machine.

The highest price we can recall as having been paid for a
thoroughbred horse was the $70,000 given for DoncaBter.
That is $33,000 behind the trotting record— the $105,000
given for Axtell. Mr. Robert Bonner has paid more high
prices for trotters than any other man in America, and in
many instances they were wholly advertising prices. The
S35.000paia for Pocahontas by Ethan Allen; the $36,000
paid for the gelding Earns; the $35,000 paid for the gelding
Dexter; the $20,000 paid (or Startle, and the $20,000 paid for
Edward Everett, had no relation to the real values of the ani-
mals. No gelding in the world is worth half what Mr. Bon-
ner gave for Rams. Startle and Edward Everett together
were not worth what was paid for one of them, and a mare
the equal of Pocahontas would not sell for $5,000 to-day. 8o
that in tracing the growing value of the trotter, tbe panioky
prices paid by Mr. Bonner cannot be given much weight.
They were picturesque, it is true, but rarely had sound
judgment for their basis.

The price paid for Axtell, 2:12, for instance, was not a fancy
figure given by a rich man for a toy, but the price which the
horse was, in tbe judgment of shrewd business men and
horsemen, considered to be worth. The only risk is that he
may die. If he lives, he will be pretty sure to turn out a
payinc investment. In tbe same category we can olass the
purchase of Bell Boy, 2:19J, for $51,000; Stamboul, 2:12i,
for $50,000; Nutwood, 2:1S|. for $22,000; Jerome Eddy,
2:16J, for $25,000; Antevolo, 2:19J, for $18,000; Patron,
2:141, for $25,000; the yearling Electric Bell for $12,500; his
sister, the filly Palo Alto Belle, 2:22J, for $8,000 as an untried
yearling, etc. There ia no room for fear that the monetary
value of the trotter rests on a flimsy basis. Throwing aside
the wild prices paid by rich men to gratify either personal
vanities or fanoies, there are enough evidences of the solid
worth of the best furnished by the prices that have been paid
by shrewd breeders for horses that have been, are, and will
be enormously profitable both to the buyer and the seller. If
you can succeed in producing the blood the fashion demands,
coupled with ability to perform, you can always take your
horse to market and bring back gold .

The winter tracks are running great opposition to eaoh
other and now it is threatened that the New Jersey Legisla-
ture will try and pass s similar law to that in vogue in New
York.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Editrd by Arphfppus.

The lain greatly interfered with out-door sports during the
week and tbe athletes were compelled to seek the shelter o*
the gymnasium.

The wheelmen are making good ose of the home trainer.

The rowiDg machines at the different clubs are well patron-
ized by the oarsmen.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

The Olympic Athletes who lojk part in the games at Berke-
ley on Thanksgiving Day will be banqueted ton evening-
There is an increased interest in out-door athletics just now-
Both tbe pnblio and tbe athletes are. anxiously awaitiog the
opening of the Olympic grounds. Men that have not bad a
shoe on for years will shortly commence training for the
inaugural games. The track. will hardly be in the condition
for record breaking but etill fast time mav b* look d forw*rd
to in the difierent running events. Mi frit of the D. C. will
stand a eood chance of lowering the running high jump re-
cord. MeKionon will make a gTeat rffurt to break the ham-
mer throwmg record. Purelle will attempt to improve the
shot potting record (his own) E. C. Hill will train to knock
Spots oat of the "half" record and H. C. Gassidy will b yond
all doobt leave the mile record of 4:46 in the lurch.

Eapiuopa is rapidly coming to the frunt a* a long di^taooe
runner. Considering that up to a week previous to the
Thanksgiving Day games he devote! all hie a'teulion to box-
ing he made a splendid showing against Cooley and CaBaidy,
two old aad experienced runners.

The following circular was mailed to several prominent
amateur athletes at th*» h^ginning of the week.

AMATEOR ATHLETICS.

Mr. Dear Sir: — Believing that there is room for a

first-class Amateur Athletic Club in San Francisco, a Com-
mittee, composed of prominent amateor athletes, has decid-
ed to call a meeting for the purpose of organizing such a
Club. Knowing yon to be a good athlete and a desirable
member, we take the liberty of addressing this circular to
yon, and we hop1 you will aid os in the undertaking. Please
be present at Parlor. Alcazar Building, on Thursday eve-
ning, December 12, 1S39. Meeting will be called to order at
S o'clock sharp. This Circular must be presented at the
door.

THE CLUB.

The chief aim of the Committee will be to have the pro-
posed Clnb composed entirely of Amateurs — no profession-
als under any circumstances, will be admitted to member-
ship.

INDUCEMENTS OFFERED TO MEMBERS.

The regular monthly dnes will be limited to one dollar.
Charter members will be admitted withont tbe payment of
an initiation fee. Members will have the sole privilege of
us-ing the Harbor View Training and Athletic Grounds, in-
cluding a fine track, eight laps to tbe mile, also Salt water
hatha and Bhowers. Handicap games will be held at Harbor
View one Sunday in ea h month, wben only members of
the Club will be allowpd to compete. Handsome medals will
be presented to the winners. Abont twice a year open
field-days will be held when all amateur athletes will be in-
vited to pirticipate.

It is proposed to lease the second floor of a new bnilding
about to be erected on Tenth Street, near Market, for a Gym-
nasium and Club rooms. The main haU to be 70 x 110 feet.
About once a month an indoor athletic exhibition will be
given at the Club rooms, to be followed by a dance.

THE OBJECTS OF THE CLUB.

The objects of the Clnb will be to foster out-door athletic
sports, and to purify all kinds of indoor sports Boxing in
particular.

MEMBERSHIP.

The desire of the Committee is to have the Clnb composed
entirely of young men of good social and moral standing.

FLVAL.

We have no hesitancy in asserting that the proposed
Club will carry off the championship flig in 1890 at the an-
nual championship games of the Pacific Coast Amateur Ath-
letic Association next May, Men will be engaged to rub anl
assist tho members who desire to compete in open games.

The principal object of e*ch and every member should be
to uphold the social as well the athletio standing of the Club.
Let the motto be "Lafcor omnia vincil.

Yours Respectfully, The Committee.

As we had already gone to press before the meeting was
held, we are unable to furnish tbe result in the present issue,
bnt next week full particulars will be printed.

The resignation of Professor Corbett as boxing instructor
to the Olympic Clnb is a blow to that organization.
He resigned just at the time when his services were most
needed. The juvenile class was progressing very nicely un-
der the ab'e tuition, bnt now the youngsters will be obliged
to begin all over aaain in order to get acquainted with tbe
tactics of Mr. Corbett's successor. Coming as it did almost
immediately after the resignation of President W. Greer Har-
rison, Mr. Corbett'e withdrawal as boxing teacher would cer-
tftin'y irup'y that there was some bad feeling in connection
with tbe clnb.

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

Tom Roe, the bicyclist, arrived at Chicago, III , Dec. 2nd
having made the joorney from San Francisco by wheel, start-
ing Sept. 23rd. He undertook the trip under the auspices
of tbe Chicago Herald, and although having beaten by more
than twenty-four boors any previuu* journey between tbe
same points, failid to accomplish the task he had set himself.
This was largely due to horrible roads, coupled with an in-
jur.-1 log. He was well received upon his arrival in the
windy city.

Michael Oregon, the well known Canadian lacrosse player,
recently met with a painful and aerlou? accide t, wbich has
etna-id his career on the held. While returning to Montreal
from a abort trip to Boston, Mass., he attempted t) jump
from one car to another at Lowell, Mass., when be missed his
foolingaud fell to theground with hi* right arm across the
rail The car passed over the member before assistance
retched him. and he was imm dutely conveyed to the hospi-
tal where it was found necessary to amputate bis arm below
!h- f-lbow at once, wbi(Th wi s sacc*"-sfnllv done. Cregan is
a vary prominent msmher of the famous Shamrook Clnb.

The animal meeting of the National Amateur Skating As-
sociation was held at tbe Grand Union Hotel, New York

City on Tuesday evening, Nov. 26th, and was fairly well at-
tended. The election resulted in the choice of the following
gentlemen: President, William B. Curtis; vice-president, C
L Waring; secretary, S J Montgomery; treasurer, J P Story;
captain, George A Avery; first lieutenant, C C Hughes; sec-
ond, J C Devereaux. Mr. Avery was appointed chairman of
the racing committee, with power to select officials, and the
following gentlemen were appointed as the figure skating
committee; C B Cook, T H Rodgera and E W Burr. The
association voted not to join the Amateur Athletic Union.
The resignation of A A Jordan was accepted, and tbe Don-
ogbue brothers, Joe. Tim, Jim and Charley, were elected to
membership in the association. The obampionship meeting
will be held at Newburg, N. Y , about Jan. IStb, the exact
date, of course, depending on the sta'e of the weather.

The Boston Athletic Assoc:ation is at present in a very
flourishing condition. Before long it is exported that this
young organization will lead all the other athletic clubs m
tbe United S'ates.

Sidney Thomas, of the Manhattan Athletic Clnb of New
York City, made a snccess'nl attempt to create a new record
for fifteen miles, at the grounds of that organization on Satur-
day morning, Nov. 30tb, and not only that bnt be broke all
urevious American records from 10^ miles to the finish. The
trial took place shortly after a brief snow sto-m, and upon a
crack that was somewhat muddy, while a cold, strong"wini
blsw across thegronods, interfering with the runner. Thomas
was assisted by tbe following pacemakers; T P Conneff, S J
Cornell, Kenneth Grieve, E Piper and "W C Edwards, and his
time at various distances was as follows: 10Jm, 5ym 3-5s; 11
u ilea, lh Im 53 3-5<; 12 miles, lh 7m 50 2-5*; 13 miles, lh
13m 56 3-5s; 14 miles, lh £0m 26 3-5s; 15 miles, lh 27m 11
3-5s. Thomas also broke the hour reoord, making 10 miles
1,1321 yards, in that time. The omnials were: Referee— S
J Cornell. Jnd2es-J M Cowie, T P Conneff and C O Perry.
Timekeepers— G A Avery, Robert Stoll, S D See and C C
Hughes.

Henry Searle the world's cbamp:ou oarsman died in Aus-
tralia Dec. 9th. He was 23 years old at the time of his
death.

UNIVERSITY JOTTINGS.

An assessment wi'l be levied next spring for the purpose of
improving the cinder trick.

Tbe old PoBen football team has been reorganized, includ-
ing Hittell and Nouree.

The students are constantly complaining about the abs°nce
of hut water in the gymnasium. The athletes say tha* after
they get up a good sweat they are obliged to bathe in ice cold
water.

The report that several of the U C alhleteB were dissatis-
fied with the hbndicaps allowed them by Captain Jordan on
Thanksgiving Day appears to have no foundation. That
one athlete was treated as fairly as another may be surmised
from the fact that the 'Varsity boys came out ahead in all of
the events in which they competed.

We would suggest that on field-days the fence around the
tennis court should betaken down. Standing as it does in
the very centre of the grounds, it naturally obstructs the
view of the audience.

The one hundred yards stretch of the cinder path is at
present completely covered with water, and is more suitable
for rowing than for rnnnirg.

The U. C. Athletes are more confident than ever that tbe
old war cry of "Ha! ha! ha! California; U. C -U.C.ziz! boom!
bah!" will be heard at the close of the games on May 30th.

THE WHEELMEN.

Owing to the wretched condition of tbe roads, the wheel-
men have been compelled to pot by their wheels for the pres-
ent and to take exerciBe on the home trainer.

A meeting of the Bay City Wheelmen was held at the clnb
rooms. 17 Franklin Street, on Tuesday evening last. The
following gentlemen were nominated for officers, to serve for
the enduing term of one year: President, George R. Butler;
vioe-President, Thomas H. Doane; Secretary, Calvin N.
Langton; Treasurer, F. E Browning and F. W. Ray; Cap-
tain, Sanford Plummer and F. E. Richardson; 1st Lieuten-
ant. W. C. Hammer and L. G. Hodgkins; 21 Lieutenant, J.
Holroj'd, C. A. Elliott and A. Marshall; Standard Bearer,
George P. Wetmore; Buglers, C. C. Moore and E. C. Trie.
Election will take place next Monday evening, December 16tb.

AT THE OAKS.

At the next meeting of the Pacific Coast Rowing Associa-
tion, it is proposed to open the charter and invite all the
clubs in the State to join. The annual dues will also be
reduced to $6. Through these inducements a complete
reformation will be brought abont. The members of the
different clubs will also be afforded b tter protection, as a
complete list of members of each club, as well as a list of
suspended or expelled members will be kept by the secretary
of the association, which list will at all times be open for
inspection by the members of the associate clubs. The regu-
lar quarterly meeliug of the association will be held at SIS
Howard Street, room 3, on Wednesday evening, January 8,
1890.

The annual election of Directors and officers of the Ariel
Rowing Club will be held on Thursday evening. January 2,
1890. The following are the nominations: President, H. O.
Farrel nod W. H. Growrey; Vice-President, C E. PleBS and
Ed. Finley; Secretary, E Flanders and S. Growney; Treas-
urer, John J. Larkey; Captain, J. Cochrane and L. Steven-
Fon; Lieutenant Captuin, W. Adams and H. Ladeboft'. Di-
rector—J. Muirhead, H. O. Farrel, H. Frank, W. Jnlian,
Wm. Dungan. J. Hardy, L. F. No nan, W. Blake, W. Grow-
Qfiy, H. Witkopt. Delegates to Rowing Association — Two
to be elected— A. Branch, George Branoh, H. O. Farrel, Jas.
Cochrane, Walter Blake, Eugene Flanders. There are two
tickets iu the field and the elections will be hotly contested.

CLUB JOTTING,

R. P. Hammond Jr., has been elected President of the
Olympic clnb by the Board of Directors in place of W.
Greer Harrison, resigned. E. A. Rix succeeds Mr. Hammond
as vice-President. The vaoancy in the Board has not been
filled.

The cross country ron of the Olympio club will hardly take
place to-morrow on account of the wet condition of the
ground.

We understand that the proDosed in door tournament un~
der the anspices of thePacifio Coast amateur Athletio Asso-
ciation will not be held. Some of the officers of the associa-
tion think that a meeting in January would be too soon after
the November Rnmes. Winter is tbe proper time to hold an
iu-door meeting, and according to the calculation if tbe meet-
ing is not held before Washington *s Birthday, there is no
chance of it being held until the middle of summer.

P. C. S.— Kindly tell who holds the forty-eight hour
championship go-as-you-please.

Answer— Tbe Clipper Annual for 1S89, an authoritative
publication, gives us the greatest distance travelled, go-as-
yon-please, in forty-eight bonis, 296 miles 1.056 yards, by

BILLIARDS.

Hearing that Jake Sehaffer, of Chicago, declared he could
discount McCleery at billiards. 1 paid a visit to the genial
manager of the Baldwin and asked Mo about it.

Yes, he said, a Mr. Hart of this city assured me that
Sehaffer Baid so. "What do you think of it?" was my next
question. Wei ', as a rule, I always "put up" before I talk,
but as I am not the boaster in this case, I will say that if
Mr. Sehaffer will give me the odds of a discount at billiards
for a reasonable sum. say $2,500 a side, I will give bim and
his woald-be-higu-roller-of-a-baoker a chance to win expenses
on ontside, by playing Sehaffer a match at Pin Pool for
$2,500 a side. Bnt talking at long range is not my force.

Will Sajlor and you have another ma'ch? Now yon must
excuse me. as I won the laBt game, but I would be wilting to
play Ben for a stake, and would like for Borne of the clubs to
put up a trophy outside, and so far as I am concerned, they
could make the terms on which we would play.

A fine lithograph of tbe champion lady billiard player of
the world is on exhibition at the Baldwin.

Jim Orndorff, of the Cafe Royal, thinks there will be some
of the great players out here this winter, and predicts a big
■ icefss for any manager who will put up a large purse and
invite the best pi »yers in the world to contest for it making
a handicap, so all would haye a show adding that the style
of game should be balk line. When asked bis opinion as to
Sehaffer discounting McCleery, he laughed and said: "I'll
bet Mc will play him and that Jake will know he has had a
a game."

Speakicg of a handicap among the big professional reminds
me of what a gentleman who is a great admirer of the game
said to me one day la*t week: "Why on earth don't they ar-
range for a tournament of the coast players;" the material is
here, and if good, substantial prizes were offered, it would
f irrish a week of first class sport, say McCleerv, Saylor, De
Forrest, Orndorff, Chesley, Forsyth, WillianiB. Smith. Isaacs,
Jillson. Ingersoll, Harding and a dozen others that could be
named."

"The McCleery Method of Billiard Playing" is the title of
a very iLteresting and truly valuable little book on the g*me,
received by ns and acknowledged in a brief note at the time-
When anything is so perfect and plain, the method simpli.
tied so much, it almost disarms criticism, for although a first
edition, ontside of a typographical error or two it seems to
be perfection. .

Tbe author, Prof. McCleery, has placed his method of
teaching in Bix clear and concise lessons; then follow one
hundred splendid diagrams, t y which any amateur can enter-
tain his friends by giving lancy shots, as any and all Bhots
illustrated can certainly be made with a perfect straight
6troke.

tJ-ing the words of an expert who has carefully read the
book, "Mc deserves great credit, as there are many things
explained that I have done for years withont knowing why;
for example, the correct meature of the draw shot alone 18
worth to anyone the price of the book. The follow, also, as
shown by him. is a perfect revelation, making all shots of
that description so ea=iy.

Too much cannot be said in praise of tbe "Angle Lesson,"
as it positively reduces any and all of the "round the table'*
strokes down to a simple carrom, explaining the use of the
angle marks on the cushionB.

Many times have we be^n asked for the best record of dif-
ferent games or of any Bpecal player in the past, and could
not give the information. Now we have a perfect encyclope-
dia of billiard recorda in this book, and as such records have
been compiled for the first time {and the work covered by
copyright) it is invaluable for reference.

We underatand that the first edition (3000) is all but sold,
and tbe intention of the author is to put out a larger editioD,
possibly from New York. Payot, Upham & Co. are the pub-
lishers, where the bcok retails at §1.

The Cafe Royal is crowded every evening and at the Baldwin

their turns to get a table.

J. L. Malone the champion pool player will arrive in Cal-

B'lliards has attained itB proper level in New Y'ork as is
shown by the clergy taking tbe interest in it that they do.
The Rev. Father Samnde, of St. Joseph's church, obtained
the services of Sexton, Slosson, Daily and Heiser (who re-
sponded williogly) to give exhibitions at a fair for the bene-
fit of the church, and was attended by not only the friends
of the congregation, and who took a lively interest in the
games, and applauded their fine playing very liberally, be-
sides commenting on its beauties and the healthful exercise
it afforded.

Engene Carter, in a letter from Paris, says: "I want Vig-
nanx and everybody else to know that I mean business when
I challenged him at cushion carroms. I may or may not
beat him, but whatever I do he can make up his mind tbat
I am not afraid of him. and to prove it I have deposited
2,500 francs for him to play me l,-200 points. 400 each for
three nights. I am not satisfied with the result of my sea-
son's play at Vignanx's academy. Between a bad table, a
bad atmosphere and an ignorance of tbe language, I have
been at series disadvantage. Before I go home I propose to
Bhow these Frenchmen some playing that is worthy of me.
One thing has also annoyed me hero in Paris, and that is a
report that I have spoken unkindly of my old friend, Jake
Bchaefer I have never done anything of the kind, nor
would I do so under any circumstances."

Jacob Schaefer, the billiardist, has issued a challenge to
any player living to meet him at any style of game ordinari-
ly played in America for from $2 500 to $5,000 a side.

Patsey Duffy has left the classic shades of the West Side
Park. Chicago, and is now shaking hands (between drinks)
with his old friends at New Orleans. It is expected that be
will get an occasional mount during the winter meeting at
that city.

THE FABM.

Pacific Coast Shorthorn Breeder**' Association
Meeting, December 14th.

President, Judge E. A. Bridgford; Secretary, Ed Younger.

The Pacifio Coast Shorthorn Breeders' Association will
meet at the Golden Eagle Hotel, Sacramento, at 7 p. m. to-day.
All persons interested in raising pure-bred cattle should attend,
and if not already members of this organization should have
themselves enrolled at once, for it is of great importance that
all the breeders of thoroughbred oattle should organize and
ventilate their opinion of the various localities suitable for
cattle raising at a profit, as a variety of valuable information
can be gained from such discussions.

Duties on Cattle-

Cows on entering Paris pay a duty of 7f or nearly a dollar
and a half a head. Calves pay the same, pigs 15f. and sheep
52f. Why the enormous charge of S 10 should be levied on
sheep is very singular, and may be explained by the fact that
much of the mutton supply comes from Germany. The
French protectionist reason on the fallacioGB principle that
the seller pays the duty, whereas the result of the ten-dollar
duty on sheep is that the Parisians have to pay more for
their mutton. Over 20,000 sheep are killed at Cologne every
year and sent to Paris by train. Not s t a'ied with thr heavy
octroi duty on the sheep the protectionist deputies in the
chamber have been trying to impose a heavy tariff on sheep
at the frontier. They had made arraugemeuts in their higb
tariff for live sheep, but inadvertently left a loophole through
which dead sh^ep entered free until they arrived at Paris. As
it is Germany sends over 300,000 pounds of mutton to Paris
every year. The animal consumption of beef, veal and mut-
ton in Paris is 300,000,000 pounds. Pork figures for 44,000,-
000 pouDds. The population ea's 480,000,000 ponnds w tight
of fruit and vegetables and 414,431 930 egga. Poultry and
game weighs 48,000,000 pounds, and the fish supply about
the same. They are consuming more oysters every year,
and now require 20,000,000 pounds of them, but thiB weight
includes the shells. The wine which entered Paris during
the year amounted to 4,409 779 hectoliters and paid a duty of
over 46,000, 000f.; the beef Bupply amounted to 270,000 hecto-
liters.

A Cattle Convention.

Annual Meeting of the American Short-Horn
Breeders' Association.

That there is something radically wrong with the cattle
market is now one of the clearest truths ever uttered. In
order that something may be done it has been determined to
hold a cattlemen's convention in Fort "Worth, to which dele-
gates will be sent from all sections of the cattle-raising coun-
try. At first it was intended to call the convention to meet
in Fort Worth on January 7, 1890, but the committee to
whose judgment the matter was left, have concluded to de-
fer the meeting until the assembling of the Northwest Cattle-
men'a Association, which will be held in Fort Worth early in
March, it being given as a reason for this that a larger at-
tendance of Texas cattlemen could be secured at that time
This meeting will be interstate in its character, as prominent
cattlemen from all the cattle-growing States, and prominent
men who take an in'erest in the matter, will be here. No
convention of cattlemen ever called attracted as much atten-
tion from the leading men of the country bs this one has al-
ready done, and it may be expected if the agitation of the
matter is kept up the gathering will be a notable one.

The great interest has been created by the absolute demor-
alization of the cattle market. Producers cannot see why
cattle should be so low to-day, when consumption is greater
than at a time when beef cattle were selling for 60 per cent,
more than they are now. The consumers cannot uoderstand
why the price of beef products should cost them as much to-
day as they did when beef on f"ot was selling for 60 per cent,
more than it is to-dav. That these conditions are the results
of combinations formed in the Eastern markets rather than
natural causes is the firm belief of nearly all cattle -raisers in
the country, and in order that Buch steps may be taken to de-
feat the schemes of those in the combinations this conven-
tion is to be held. If the deliberations of the body when it
meets are characterized by harmony and a desire to do good,
good will be done. — The St. Louis Republic.

Suggestions to Fair Managers.

It is with considerable diffidence that I answer your oall
for suggestion in the matter of fair management— in the first
place because I am from the wild West and only have an ex-
perience in America at Western fairs, and secondlyfbecause I
have never been an exhibitor. But as an attendant at fairs
with the desire to learn I have met with considerable diffi-
culty in obtaining facts which, in my humble opinion, should
be open to all. I rr fer to the exhibits. It is left, apparently,
to the discretion of the exhibitors whether they chooBe to
hang up their ribbooB designating their awards or not, though
of course pride generally comes to the reBcue and they do
hang them up; sometimes, however, along with ribbons
gained at other fairs, and in some place inaccessible to the
outsider. Again, you want to know the name or the breed-
ing of such an animal and are at the mercy of the attendants.
They may condescend to tell you the truth, but I regret to
say such is not always the caBe.

Now I would euegest the following, and any of your read-
ers who have visited England will bear me out in saying that
the svsteru is invariably in vogue there, and so must be suc-
cessful. Let the superintendent of each department be pro-
vided with printed cards, about four by six inches, in plain,
legible type, and colored blue, red and white, according to
the awards, setting forth the breed, award, name of society,
and name of breeder. For#instance: Awarded by Minnesota
State Fair* first premium for Clydesdale stallion three years

old; awarded to Messrs. . And let this be nailed up

over the animal to which it is awarded so that all can read,
mark, learn and inwardly digest it. Secondly, why not print
a catalogue, let each entry have its number, and in the cata-
logue against that number have printed the name of the ani-
mal, its breeding, and the owner, and if the owner wishes,
nut for sale, price, etc , and have these catalogues for sale on
the ground? They woald be a great boon to all visitors, and
would also by their sale be a welcome addition to the funds
of the society. I knotf this can done, and that as a rule at
fairs in England visitors would as soon thiok of going round
the Btalls without a catalogue aB they would of going down
into the cellar without a lamp, and if it can be done there
why not here? I make this suggestion for what it is worth,
but I have been a fair secretary myself in the old country,
and I know what I am talking about —Murray Sheppard in
the Gazette.

HELD AT THE GRAND PACIFIC HOTEL, CHICAGO, ILL., NOV. 20,

1889 \t S P. u.
The members were called to order by President Cobb, who
addressed the meeting as follows:

Gentlemen, stockholders of the American Shorthorn Breed-
ers Association: Again we meet in accordance with the law
under which we are organized, to consider such matters as
may be of interest to us as breeders of Shorthorns and as
stockholders of this association, and to transact such business
as will properly come before us. Inclusive in such business
will be the annual report of the officers of the association,
which will set forth in detail all of the business transactions
during the past year, and also several recommendations tor
your consideration which we deem of importance and upon
which we hope favorable action may bs taken. Another item
of business will be the election of three directors for the term
of three years to succeed Messrs. Harris Hope and Clark,
whose term of office expires at this time. In this connection
I would hardly feel that I bad done my duty, did I not say to
you that so far as I know, the above-named gentlemen have
served you ably aud faithfully duriDg their term of office
Before formally perfectiog the preliminary business of the
evening by calling for the Secretary's minutes of the last
meeting, I ask you to indulge me in a few general remarks
hastily penned, which I hope ni'iy be of use in the way of
bringing before you some matters which I hope will open
up a discussion iu which you will all feel at liberty to take a
part aud thereby make our meeting interesting and instruc-
tive. The Shorthorn interest, together with all cattle inter-
ests, as you all well know, ar« at present much depressed,
the principal cause being over-produotion together with the
great numbers that have been thrown on the market during
the pist two years and more, esnecially during the pa»t three
or four montbB. In the natural course of events this state of
things cannot long continue, as it is well known that tha
causes which have contributed to the marketing of the great
number, amounting to as many as 17,000 in a Biogle day in
the Chicago market alone, will not occur again in many years,
if indeed ever, in this country. Among the causes whioh
have contributed to this end, we may mention first that very
many of our large cattle companies have been in such condi-
tion financially, that they have had to Bhip and realize in
order to keep peace with their conditions. We koow this to
be the case from sources which cannot be questioned, and we
would also readily come to such a conclusion when we know
that a goodly proportion of shipments have been females,
thereby stopping production. Another cause of excessive
shipments has arisen from the extensive drouths that have
prevailed throughout WyomiDg and Montana the rast year,
rendering the grazing during the Bummer and tall months
very meager, leaving nothing forwinter grazing; consequently
no alternative for holders but that of marketing. A case
came under my observation during my visit to Montana in
September last where a party had to send forward his breed-
ing cows to market, and upon which he only realized, after
all charges had been paid, the paltry sum of $6.60 per heal.
The ranchmen of the plains and mountainous districts, our
former competitors, have reluctantly come to the conclusion
that the time has come when it will not be profitable for them
to produce anymore cattle than they can provide for and
maiotain the year around by caring for and feeding the same
as we do in this part of the country; and when they have to
do that, it will materially decrease the number of cattle
raised in said districts, thereby reducing the competition that
we have heretofore had to contend with, and naturally ad-
vance prices.

Another matter of special interest to us as Short-horn
breeders now taking place in Montana is the fact that the old
ranchmen who prior, say 1885, had used Short-horn bulls
and were induced to change to the Hereford or Polled are re-
turning to their first love and calling for the "red white and
roan" again. A friend of mine who has a herd of Short-horns
in Montana sold all of hia bull calves this spring for $75 each,
and can contract at the same price for his bull calves this
year. Let us therefore not be discouraged, but rather reBolve
to breed better cattle and to enlarge the usefulness of our
favorite by pushing them to the front in fields heretofore
claimed by other breeds a* specialties, that ia to say, as milk
producers and as a general-purpose breed. Let me suggest
one way that we can do this very effeotually, and that is by
entering your best milkers for competition in the dairy classes
at your annual agricultural fairs. As probably most of you
know, this society offered premiums the past year in moBt of
the great agricultural States for the futherance of this special
interest, and we are very sorry to say that but few entries
were made, and those that were, were not in every case any
special credit to the breed. Let us look to thiB matter the
coming year and make a better record, and do our utmost in
every way to make the Short-horn the most desirable breed
for the small farmer. This will require a little exertion and
perhaps a little missionary work, but let us do it for the love
we bear to our favorites. As a beef producer we ask for no
favors, as the repult at the Fat-Stook Show in this city has
just revealed. I cannot but think that there is a bright fu-
ture in store for Short-horns that are well bred and of indi-
vidual merit.

The secretary proceeded to oall the roll of members, but on
motion the call was dispensed with. The secretary proceeded
to read the minutes o the last mee'ing. As the same had
been published and sent to all stockholders a motion was
made and carried to dispense with further reading.

The report of the President and Secretary was then sub-
mitted to the meeting, showing a total of receipts $40,467 96,
including $19,612.45 balance from laRt year. The expendi-
tures were S18.166.82, leaving a balance of $22,301,14 in the
Treasurer^ and Secretary's hands.

After the usual business was over the president said:
We feel like congratulating Short-horn breeders on the suc-
cess of the "'red white and roan" at the present show. The
special prizes offered by this association that have been a-
warded so far amount to $945. By the conditions of the of-
fer heretofore made the most of the prizes are continued for
one more year, and we have do doubt but what thg Board of
Directors will make ample provisions for encouraging the
herd prizes for next year. We consider this money well
spent.

It may be worthy of note and interest to state that the to-
tal numb r of cat'le exported for three months dnriLg the
last year amounted to 1.000 head per day— 90,000 in all. Of
this great number of live animals exported it is tstimattd
that at least 75 per cent were high-bred Short-horns. Dur-
ing the patne period the dressed beef exported amounted to
about 75,000 head. We have no means of knowing what pet
c^nt of Short-horns were included in this last number. From
these fact we think that we should feel encouraged for the
future of Short-hornB.

The new Board was then elected, and passed among other
resolutioDs the following:

Resolved, That beginning with Vol XXXVI, rule 1, of the
rules of entry shall be amended by striking out the last
paragraph and inserting the following:

1st. The animal must trace on side of sire aud dam to pedi-
grees not false or spurious already of record, or to recorded
Eoglish Shorihorns whose ancestors in all their crosses trace
to animals recorded in the first twenty volumes of the Eng-
lish Herd Book.

2d. Amended rule 10 by adding to the portion contained
in parenthesis the following: "And trace in all their crosses
to the animals recorded in the first twenty volumes of that
book."

Resolved, That Short-horns contesting for dairy prizes
shall be pure bred cows actually giving milk and subject to
test. All other classes shall be dropped.

Resolved, That the Secretary be authorized to arrange
with the State agricultural societies or fairs of such States as
have considerable dairy interests, to pay from the funds of
the association $225 as premiums f<>r Short-born clacs for
the production of milk and butter upon the following condi-
tions:—

1. That Short-horns be permitted by such societies to
contest for sweepstake premiums with other dairy breeds.

2 That do arrangement for these premiums will be made
with any society except on condition that actual tests of dai-
rv cattle shall be made on the fair grounds under the person-
al supervision nf proper officers or committees.

3. That these resolutions and requirements shall Reprint-
ed in the premium lists of the society accepting the offer.

For cows three years old or over, first prize $100; second
$50.

For heifers under three years old, first prize $50; second
$25.

Col. Harris also moved the adoption of the following reso-
lution, which was carried: —

Besolved, That prize classes be continued for three yearB
as at present. 20 per cent, to be added after 1S90. To herd
bred by exhibitor, consisting of calf, yearling and two-year-
old : —

First prize (gold medal) gfiO

Second prize (gold medal) 40

Third prize (gold medal) 20

Judge Nourse moved the adoption of the following resolu-
tion, which was carried: —

Resolved, That the Illinois State Board of Agriculture be
requested to rescind the rule requiring the slaughter of pre-
mium yearling cattle.

Among the rare varieties of the Game fowl is the Crimson
Game, and one which deserves to be better known and more
largely bred than it is. In shape the crimson is similnr to
the old-fashioned English Game— thatis, it is but moderately
elevated upon its legs, has a plump body and is covered with
a full plumage. In the male tha hackle is well developed and
flows down upon the shoulders, and the tail is full, carried
moderately erect, and furnished with long sickles and abund-
ant hangers. In the female the tail 1b well fanned out, and
rather large and loog. The shanks of both sexes are blue,
blue-black, or with an occassional tendency towards yellow,
though blue is the prevailing color. The fowls are not large
bnt only of medium Bize.

But when the plumage is spoken of, then the stroog point
of the Crimson Game is brought into prominence. The male
is, in general, of a rich, deep, lustrous dark red, with a chest-
nut shade. The hackle shows a tendency towards blauk
stripingB, though perfect freedom from this is desirable. The
tail is black, and the sickles and larger coverts are sometimes
edged with red. The female is of a similar color, but gener-
ally not quite so dark in shade, the feathers having a rich
lustre. The hackle is striped with black, and the whole body
is irregularly but handsomely penciled. Bicher colored birds
are not to be found among domesticated fowls.

The hens lay a large white egg — large, that iB for their size,
and are fairly good layers They Bit faithfully, and are ex-
cellent mothers. They appear to be quite hardy as fowls,
though somewhat delicate as chickeDs.

The Crimson Game, f- o far as I have heen able to at certain,
waB produced by careful selection of the old-fashioned Game
fowl, with the purpoBC of producing the richest colored
males possitle. The result has been that the males are pro-
duced with greater uniformity than the females, f >r among
the latter tl.ere is occasionally a faded out drib-colored pul-
let, not to be compared with its sisters for beauty. These
pullets, however, produce very brilliantly colored cockerels
when bred from.

Whetfcur the C imson Game will ever become very popular
with poultry fanciers depends, we thiik, upon the question
whether it will ever be bred to the share and at) le which is
supgestive of the pit, bo loog probably will it be handicapped
in the race for public favor. It is trne that there iB a ten-
dency, quite maiked abroad and less marked at home, to re-
turn to the old style of G imes, but I think it doub.ful if
this tendency ever accomplishes more than to perhaps mod-
ify Bomewhat the exhibition type. A less "reachy" type
may result — one that indicates greater strength then the
present — but nothing more than this will be likely to result.
If the Crimson Game is made to take on the style and sta-
tion of the modern Exhibition Game, its exceeding beauty
of plumage in both sexes will probably place it among the
most popular as it certainly will be among (he most beauti-
ful of Game fowls. To a thoroughgoing fancier this possi-
bility has great charms, and may lead to the attempt to re-
model the Crimson Game If in po doing a litlie greater
size can be obtained, it will be all the better, for adrin
size will improve the fowl for practical purposes. Th
tempt was certainly worth making, and I hope it w
made.— Country Gentleman,

"Notable horses of California" have graced the front page
of the Breeder AKD Sportsman for many years, and it is
hat one who was not to the Manor born has been pre-
ders, bat here we have a horse, the owners
of which recognize the beneficial effects of the California
climate and a dozen or so are now quartered at the Oakland
Trotting Park belonging to them. The gentlemen who own
the stock are the Du Bois Bros, of Denver. Colorado, who
„M Tears ago purchased S00 acres of land within three or
four miles of Denver, feeling assured that there would a ways
be a readv market for royally-bred trotting horses. Money
has been spent with a lavish baud, and to-day one of the best
appointed breeding establishments in the country lies snugly
ensconsed at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, and within
sound of the business hum of the mountain metropolis.
The utmost care has been taken in the selection of both sires
and broodmares, the two stallions ranking with the best. _

Superior, whose picture is here given, is not only bred in
the very highest of blood lines, boh top and bottom, but in
appearance is generelly acknowledged to be one of the most
baod.ome horses in the United States. In color he can only
be describe! as a golden chestnut, and to attempt to describe
him minutelv is time thrown away, for the story can be
summed up in the statement that he is a perfect type of the
Hambletonian. When he is seen for the first time, the be-
holder is apt to exclaim, "What a beautiful little horse," yet he
stands 16 hands barefooted; but he is put up bo perfectly
that his height is very deceptive . The intelligence of Superior
is wonderful, and his disposition of the best. A long
arched neck, grand shoulders, roomy barrel, well-set middle
piece, magnificent legs, and better than all excellent feet,
tend to make Superior a gem of the first water.

Superior 4012 was foaled 1881, sired by Egbert 1136, dam
Mary (dam of Benefactor, 2:28), by Woodford Mambrino 345;
Becond dam Belle by Alexander's Norman 25; third dam Vic
(dam of Dainty, 2:86f, and Mattie Graham, 2:21) by Mam-
brino Chief 11; fourth dam Fly by Barclay's Columbus; fifth
dam Paradise by Duke of Bedford II (thoroughbred). His
tabulated pedigree is as follows:

/ Manibrluo, 6on of

In the first heat, owing to Superior stepping in a hole |in
the track, which threw him off his str.de, Elmwood Chief
proved the victor, time, 8:181, and yet when the mishan
occurred he was going at a 2:15 gait. Superior won the next
three heats, however, in an easy manner as the following
summary will show:

Superior, ch h by Egber.-by Woodford Mambrino H\l

Elmwood Chief, br «.*««*»«*«;; d:Vs5V :/:,,;

The Du Bois Bros, are satisfied that they have one of the
best horses in the world, and are willing to enter him in a
sweepstakes, the result to determine which is the best trot-
ting stallion in America.

Since his arrival in California, the weather has prevented
his receiving the amount of work necessary, but between the
showers he was given a full mile at the track which he
readily compassed in 2:22. The last half was made in 1:09,
the last quarter in 33 seconds and the last eighth in 16 sec-
onds, a 2:08 gait. Before the end of next season our readers
may expect to hear of Superior making a very low record.

The Do Bois Bros, also own Magnet who made a record of
"-2SJ at Overland Park, Denver, November 3,1888. Histhree
heats on that day in 2:28}, 2:30, 8:29*. are no measure of his
speed, he having repeatedly shown the capacity to trot in
2-20 or better. He is a bay horse foaled 1875 by Magnolia 68,
son of Seely's American Star 14 dam Mischief by Alexander's
Abdallah: second dam by a Bolivar horse. Magnolia, the sire
of Magnet was one of the best bred sons of Seely's American
Star, his dam was Jenny Lind by Bay Eichmond, son of To-
by and Lady Pluck by Mambrino, son of imp Messenger;
second dam a thoroughbred daughter of Post Boy he by Du-
roc son of imp Diomed. An examination of the pedigree of
Magnet shows ten direct crosses to imp Messenger six on
the side of his sire Magnolia and four through his dam, dau-
ghter of Alexander's Abdallah.

Messenger Duroc; second dam by the Holbert colt, also a sou
of Hambletonian; third dam May Fly by Utter Horse; fourth
dam by Abdallah Chief, son of Abdallah 1. He traces three
times to the old hero of Chester, and four times to his sire,
Abdallah 1.

Egbert has put at least fifteen into the 2;30 list this season,
a feat never accomplished before by any horse in any one
year. He has transmitted his speed to Superior and those
who know the hotse claim that he is stroogly endowed with
courage and stamina. During the year 1S88, he was sick and
all out of condition, and failed to do himself great credit, but
was universally admired on account of his superb make-up
an/1 purity of gait. As the season neared its close he began
to recover form, and bis game straggle to win the memorable
2:2.1 Btallioo Btake at the Lexington, Ky., fall meeliugbrought
him into well-deserved prominence, and earned for him the
admiration of critical and observing horsemen. In this race
he was driven by the noted reiUBman Budd Doble. who re-
cently expressed in our hearing the belief that he was a race
horse in eveiy sense of the word. In this race he met such
excellent hcrsts as Baron Wilkes, Granby and Hinder Wilkes.
The first heat was won by Hinder Wilkes in 8:20}, and he
was driven out by Superior, who was a close second. The
second heat was a battle royal between Hinder Wilkes and
Superior, the latter winning it by a neck in 2:20J. The third
heat was won by Hiuder Wilkes with Superior fourth. The
fourth heat was won by Granby, with Superior a cloBe third-
The lift la Bixtb and seventh heats were won by Baron WilkeB
with Superior third in the fifth and a good second in the six-
th and seventh heats. It waB a grand performance.and stamp-
ed Superior as a lirst-claBB turf perforuiir.

From Lexington, Superior was taken to Denver when he
was matched aRainst Elmwood Chief. The race took place
o . November 3rd and the exciteniem<-nt was intense as both
lorees had many friends.

Abdallah ( Hambletonian 10.

(Katy Darling.
.(a Boliver mare.
The brood mares at the Du Boia Farm are wortby of tha
stallions with which they are to be mated. Most of them
are standard bred, and all are distinguished either by pedi-
gree or performance on the track or in the stud. Space wil1
only permit a brief mention. The following sires are repre-
sented: Hambletonian 10, Volunteer, American Clay, Larry
W., Vargrave. Knox Boy, Daniel Lambert, Weisbaden (fall
brother to Wedgewood), Fisk's Mambrino Chief, Hirscb's
Belmont, Exile, Kentucky Clay, Monitor, Peck's Idol, Abe
Lincoln, Burger, Republic, Romulus, Iowa Chief, Ben
Patchen, Pocahontas Boy, Legal Tender, Jr., Alexander H
Sherman, Red Buck (Arnold & Hale's), Blue Bull, Woodford
Mambrino, Superior, Strawn'e Monarch and Magnet.

Daring the past year many very choice mares have been add.
ed to the collection, and it would give us pleasure to give a list
in detail of them all, but a lack of space forbids. Perhaps
the most noticeable mare on the farm judged by pedigree is
the bay mare Alexander Queen, by Alexander H. Sherman,
son of Idol, by Hambletonian 10, out of Mattie. by Hamble-
tonian 10. The dam of Alexander Qaeen was Hambletonian
Queen, by Hambletonian 10; second dam Lady Russell, by
Seely's American Star.

Viola, b m, five years old, by Volunteer Star 1614; 1st dam
Meta, pacing trial, 2:21J. She by Thorndale, 2:22}; 2nd
dam by Alexander's Abdallah, sire of Goldsmith Maid, 2:14.
A bay filly next attracts attention. She is as yet unnamed,
by Blackwood 74 (sire of Proteine, 2:18); dam of this filly is
Sadie by Hambletonian 10; 2nd dam Lady Wynne by Wil-
liam Welch (son of Hambletonian 10). This is a fine filly
and should prove a granl brood mare.

A most beautiful filly is Diadem by King Rene 1278 (sire of
Fugue, 2:19}). 1st dam Carita by Dictator 113, 2nd dam Miss
Butler by Duvall's Mambrino, 3rd dam by Downing's Bay
Messenger. Diadem is a perfect model, and a magnificenj

individual.

Bertha is ODe of the old mares, but is a fine specimen of

the trotter. She is by Hotspur 172; 1st dam Lady Craw-
ford by Seely's American Star; 2nd dam by Hector. Bertha
has a tine weanliug by Tyrant (full brother to Phallas, 2:13})
which is full of trot.

Nora is sister to Berths, and has a colt by Brown, 2: IS}.
Nora is a grand representative of the Hambletonian Star
family— tine size, and as highly formed as a thoroughbred.
She was selected as a broodmare for her individual excel-
lence.

Puritan is the dam of Kansas Wilkes 3549 that sold as a
yearling for $5,000. She is by Almont 33, dam Madam
Finch by Drennon; second dam by Gen. Taylor. Puritan is
a full sister to Emma G., winner of the Lexington Stakes in
1S79, and was quite speedy. Mr. W. C. France timed her
over the Maysville (Ky.) track iu 2:32. She is large, rangy,
and very handsome.

Emerald is standard and registered, by Red WilkeB, 1749,
dam by Administrator 357. Emerald has not been trained
for speed, but could show quarters, when ten monthB old, in
52 seconds. She is a strong made filly, and bar elegant line
of breeding will make her a very desirable broodmare.

Donna is a bay filly foaled 1S86, by Pilot Medium 1957,
dam by Night Hawk 514. Donna is a very handsome bay
mare, 15^ ban/Is high, with one white foot behind. She was

handled about three weeks this last fall, and trotted a mile in
2:40.

Sally Hamilton is a chestnut mare foaled 1883, by Hail-
storm S13 (son of Mambrino Patchen 5S) dam Lady Rumler
by Independence 63S. This is a fine, big mare, with excel,
lent action, and is very speedy.

Inais by Dictator 113, dam by Bob Didlake 794; second
dam by Grey Eagle. She is a good-looking and well-bred
mare, and has a weanling colt by Red Chief 4603.

Dazzle iB a fine looking filly, and fully warrants more than
passing mention. She is a beautiful bay, with small star.
foaled 18S7, and is by Slander 3031; first dam Daphne by
Jay Gould 197, he by Hambletonian 10; second dam Mar-
tense by Gen! Knox 1*0; third dam Martense Maid by Jack-
son's Flying Cloud 134 (son of Vermont Black Hawk); fourth
dam Jenny Lind by Abdallah 1 (sire of Hambletonian 10);
fiflh dam The Laird Mare by imp. Trustee." If this breeding
does not produce a trotter of the highest quality, it will cause
surprise.

Little Sissie is four years old, by Hambletonian Mambrino
540, dam Rosa May by William Welch 341; second dam
Lilly Gray by Idol 177. Little SisBie is a nice blocky mare,
powerfully built, and can beat three minutes all to pieces.

Emily is by Egbert 1136, dam Hortense by Messenger
Duroc, and is a splendid specimen of the light harness horse,
and can show a very fast mile.

Ayesha is a chestnut filly foaled 18S7. by King Rene 1278,
dam Roruana by Harold 413; second dam by Ansel; third
dam by Hunt's Commodore; fourth dam by Blackburn's
Whip. Ayesha is full sister to Annie Rene, record 2:38 at
three years old, Pythias, record 2:381 at two years old. She
is a large, handsome filly of nice style and good action, and
can 6how as much speed for her handling as any youngster.
Elsiewood is a daughter of Nutwood 600, the first dam
being Elies by George Wilkes; second dam Ellen Briggs by
Blackwood 74. She is a filly of good size, and shows re-
markable trotting action.

Daphne is a chestnut mare foaled 1880, by Commodore
Belmont 4340, dam Fanny Hooker by Joe Hooker 185. She
iB very fast herself, and is a producer of speed.

Alice Marshall, b m foaled 1883, by Pocahontas Boy 1790,
dam by Middlesex, son of Hambletonian 10. This is a grand
broodmare, and will make a name for herself. Alice Mar.
shall has a mare by Duration which give promise of great
speed.

Cynthia S. is by Exile 1143, dam Milliard by Albion, son of
Peter'B HBlcorn; second dam Ned by Berkley's Edwin For-
rest. This is a mare of fine appearance, and should add
greatly to the renown of the Du Bois Stock Farm.

Ladv Temple haB two crosses of Piiot, Jr., being by Moni.
tor 1327, dam Nellie Blythe, by Mambrino Temple 586, 2nd
dam Lady Pilot, by Pilot Jr. 12, etc. Lady Temple is a grand
individual and is greatly admired by all who visit the farm-
Vixen is another of the matrons that claims attention from
her good looks, and she is bred somewhat on the lines of
Lady Temple, being by Monitor 1326. dam Vixen by Mam-
brino Temple 586, 2nd dam by Geo. W. Patchen 30. She
impresses the sightseer as being of the highest type, and to
the embraces of Superior should produce a fast foal. In all
there are about one hundred brood mares at the farm, of
which seventy-five are' standard bred and most of them
registered. The du Bois Bros, have used exceeding good
judgment and it will not be long before the fame of the Du
Bois Stock Farm will be known from tue Atlantic to the
Pacific.

The colts and fillies by Magnet are all promising trotters,
all marked by characteristics that show the prepotency of
thtir Bire, and Buch as have been trained havemade excellent
performances. Belle Magnet, two years old, took second
money in tbe stakes at the Territorial Fair, Cheyenne, W. T.,
and also at tbe Overland Park, Denver, Col. Magdalene took
third money in the three-year-old stake at Denver, Col., com-
peting against the phenomenal filly Wanita, record 2:21 in
the last heat of that race. Stelle Magnet, four years old (the
oldest Magnet foal in Colorado), Bhowed such gait and speed
as would undoubtedly have placed her in the 2:30 list had
she been trained, and Beveral others now being handled
promise to equal or eclipse the record of their sire at an
early age. All of the Magnet youngsters are level-headed,
pure-gaited, well-dispositioned, and almost without exception
have their sire's way of going.

Of Superior's get there are seven foals of 1888 at the farm,
all of fine size and finish; in fact, exceptionally good in every
particular.

The DuBois breeding stud is yet in its infancy, but is pro.
ducing trotters. There is nothing hazarded in the prediction
that in a very few years it will become famous by the turf
performances of the colts and rillieB bred within its borders.

Prof. Fred Smith of the Army Veterinary School at Alder-
shot, says that the compression to which the navicular bones
of the fore limbs are exposed is something enormons. A
horse weighing 1,000 lbs, throws 1871 lbs. more weight on
his fore lges than on his hind, and tb,e total amount on both
is 600 lbs., or 300 on each leg. In addition to this carrying
more weight on the fore legs than on the biod ones, they
are quicker used for the start and the first pulling along. If
he slips with these there is no progress in the walk or trot.
With the gallop it Is different, for the hind legs are the chief
propelling force. Strong, sound fore legs, therefore, are ab-
solute essentials, and the greatest attention should be paid to
them, especially when horses are to be used on hard country
roads or town pavements. For such work those with high
knee action are not specially desirable, for on account of
their striking the ground with extra force they soon give way
and render the hor6e nseUss for any work except that on
farms free from stony soil.

TURF AND TRACK

Yolante will ba used in the stud at Santa Anita.

Dan McCarty is on his way here with a car load of mares.

W. Hunter, Wightonshire, Scotland, Boldapure Clydesdale
colt foal for £625.

8am Gamble will in all probability manage Mr. HobartB
breeding and trotting farm.

The race track at Sacramento has been in fair working or-
der all through the rainy season.

Starter Caldwell will not be Been on this coast this season,
haviog decided to winter near Guttenherg.

Sir Modred has improved in appearance, let down and fur-
nished more than any stallion at Kane o Del Paso.

The Portland Association are improving the track at City
View Park, and arranging for a spring me«ting.

Joe Daniels is a different horse to what he was a year ago.
He evidently appreciates the change to Raucho Del Paso.

Emperor of Norfolk is doing slow work. IE he stands well
he will soon be given faster work to see whether he can be
raced again.

JameB Temple, the former owner of Harry Wilkes and J.
Q., will make a trip to Baenos Ayies to see how trotting pro-
gresses there.

Miss Woodford is not in foal this season. The old Queen
of tbe track is in splendid trim, fat and strong, with a neck
like a stud horse.

It is rumored that Snapper Garrison and his father-in-
law, MoMabon, have severed their business relations and
split up the stable.

Among the colta at Mr. Haggins, all of which are at the
Bottoms, it would be difficult to choose the best; there are sis
Sir Modred'sall together in a paddock beautiful shaped even
looking colts, while John Happy, Joe Daniels and the rest of
the stallions have left their marks.

H. D. Miller will leave to-morrow for Fresno and Los An-
geles. Daisy D and Captain Al will be left at Fresno for the
winter while Ida Glenn will go to Los Angeles for the Christ-
mas racing and will be bred in the spring; Daisy and the two-
year-old will be trained nest season.

The brother to Tournament is furnished like a four year
old now and should prove an early two year old — whioh
means a big money winner.

Reveille, the well kuown sire of Tycoon, will stand a seas-
on at Vallejo, B. C. Holly having made arrangements with
B. P. Hill to that effect.

There will be quite an esodue of racing men from San
Franoisco to Los Angeles, for the Christmas racing. Mr.
Baldwin has several entries.

The Santa Anita Stable will skip St. Louis, Latouia and
Louisville next season. Probably part of the stable will stop
off at Denver coming and going.

One of our prominent bookmakers says there is not much
profit in buying yearling trotters, esperientia docet, he has
just given away an expensive one.

Henry Walsh will train several youngsters for Tom Wil-
liams next season, including a brother to Garland. Probably
they will go East with the Rose' string.

Mr. Lorillard has agreed to allow McLaughlin to retain
his position as starter at Clifton until the first of February.
Garrison in consequence refuses to ride there.

Jerome Park is no more. The stakes which closed will be
run off at Westchester. They ar« the Withers, Hunter, Je-
rome, Ladies' Moshula, Juvenile Nursery and Titan stakes.

A good many people had an idea that nothing was known
of Gladstone's pedigree. Mr. Hill who raised him says his
dam Margaret was by Hambledon (by a trotting horse out of
a Glencoe mare) dam by Volsoian. He sold several sisters
and brothers of the sprinter to his brother, J. D. Hill.

Capt. Franklin will stand Bishop, the Bire of Racine at the
Kennesaw Stud Gallatin, Teun., nest season. When one con-
siders his breeding, he ought to prove a great success, he is
by Shannon (brother to Mollis McCarthy) dam Bettie BiBhop
hy imp Bnckden, a eon of Lord Clifdeu, and Consequence by
Bay Middleton.

The Spendthrift fiasco has caused quite an excitement in
racing circles. It is insinuated that Treacy and Wilson were
commissioned to run the stallion up to $15,000. Sales at
auction will be ruined if this kind of thing continups. The
auctioneers Bruce & Kidd seem to be the only people inter-
ested who are not deserving of censure.

The winning sires in England last season were Galopin,
£43,516; Hampton, £35,091; St. Simon, £24,280, and Isono-
my over £20.000. Hermit, who has been tbe most wonderful
Bire in tbe world, iu his twenty-fifth year is seventh on the
list, with £12,256, which has been won in twenty-nine races,
while Galopin's was won iu twenty-one. Hermit's son Peter
is credited with over £9,000 and thirty-rive races, but St.
Simon, who is third, is a son of Galopin, the leading sire.

The late Dan Mace, it will be remembered, claimed that
he once drove Lady Thorn a mile so fast that he would not
give the figure, an exchange says. It was learned after his
d«ath that the time was 2:10. If this is true, it may be no-
ted in this connection that Lady Thorn's dam was a daugh-
ter of Gano, thoroughbred. She was a pacing mare, and her
grandam was also a pacer and could pace as fast as she
could run.

England has a wonderful market forthoroughbreds. South
America haB been a good customer lately, while America,
Australia, Germany, France, Hungary and Italy, have all
purchased largely. South Africa of late has bought a good
many and; tbe market keeps improving. Tattersall says it
never was better.

Starter Caldwell had 12 horses at the post for over half an
hour at Guttenberg last week and eventually suspended elev-
en boys for ten days, and Fitzpatrick for the rest of the
year.

Aurelia, Yum Yum, BeBsie June, Sonoma and several oth-
er crack mares are at present at the Arcade, and will be bred
in the spring to one or other of the craok stallions at Rancho
Del Paso.

Swann will take Col. Thornton's Anteeo Btallion to the
ran oh, and after a short season start him out for a record.
Everyone who has seen him says he will easily trot in 2:24 or
better.

E. J. Baldwin's suit against Chas. Green and the St. Louis
Fair Association is being pushed again, it will be remembered
that in 1886, Volante was matched against Tyrant for ©5,000
aside, the association to add $5,000. Mr. Baldwin said that
the match drew a tremendous crowd and Tyrant paid forfeit,
whereupon the added money was withdrawn.

Maud Hampton's colt by St. Blaise should prove a slasher.
He is a good chestnut with white legs, a true Newminster
head and neok with fine sloping shoulders, withers running
well back, a strong short back with powerful quarters, a
long, strong, muscular thigh, with a clean hock and Bhort
cannon bones of good size with strong tendons, while his
forelegs are almost perfection.

It is now many years ago, but will be remembered by 6ome
of the old timers, how R. S. Veech of Kentucky, bred, thirty
two mares to Rysdyk's Hambletonian in one season at a fee of
S500 each. Many thought at tbe time that it was the act of
an insane man, but royally has he enjoyed the fruits of that
expenditure. This year he has booked neventeen of his choi-
cest mares to Astell at SI, 000 each. There is no doubt but
that it will be a paying investment.

Secretary Brewster has deoided that the new handicap con-
fided to his discretion by the Washington Park Jockey Club
some months ago shall be run over a mile and a quarter
course. The added money will be $-4,000, of which $750
will go to the second horse, and $250 to the third. It will
probably be $100 entranoe, $25 forfeit, or only $10 if de-
clared at a date not to be announced until about July 5, and
the race will take place during the last week of the meeting.

L. J. Rose telegraphed to Hickok on Tuesday that he
would like Stamboul to go to San Diego at once and attempt
to lower bis record to 2:12 or better before the first. Since
his brilliant effort at Napa he (owing to the inces&ant rains)
has only worked three miles better than thirty, the best be-
ing in 2:21, and having done little or no work lately, it was
decided not to go to San Diego. Mr. Crawford offered to ex-
tend the time tor a couple of months provided that Hickok
(of whom he justly has a wonderful opinion) did not handle
him, and provided that Mr. Rose would make an additional
bet of $5,000 to $10,000. Mr. Hobart, however, was unwill-
ing to allow any one else to handle him. Mr. Rose's bet
can therefore be considered lost.

The sister to Dewdrop is not as big as some of the colts,
particularly the Darebins, but is racy looking all over, and
has tremendous forearms and thighs and is of particularly
highly finished quality all over.

Mr. Salisbury is so pleased with Roy Wilkes, 2:12|, that he
will probably breed Gold Leaf 2:11 J, to him next Beason. Tbe
produce should have Bpeed enough for anything, and with
Roy's gameness there ought to be a campaigner.

Jubilee Juggins (Benzon) must be coming to the front a-
gain, for it ia said he won a billiard match a fortnight ago and
netted $15,000 on his proficienoy. Evidently Roberts gave
him good value for his money when he initiated him.

L. J. Rose telegraphed on Wednesday to Corbitt to pay W.
H. Crawford the $10,000 which he held as stake holder on
on the notorious bet as to whether or not Stambonl would
trot in 2:12 Stamboul will be put in the stud in tbe Bpring.

Ed Bither left for Lexington on Tuesday and many a horse-
man regrets his departure, and misses his pleasant smile and
easy, entertaining conversation as he twirled his J. I C.
medallion and said that he should never see the pony's
equal.

A. J. Cassatt, who has figured so prominently on the A-
merican turf for years, as the owner of The Bard and other
celebrites, was thought to have retired from the track, but it
is laid he is attempting to get a small stable together to race
in England.

Mr. Davis tried bard to induce Hickok to back Adonis a-
gainst Roy Wilkes, tho match to come off before February,
but Hickok wanted longer time, whioh of course, Mr. Davis
could not afford to give as he wished to make a season with
him in the stud,

I understand that the Buenos Ayres tracks are very sandy
and deep, clay being practically unprocurable, which accounts
ior the slow times made by trotters — 10 Beconds slow in
nearly every instance — while they have no really good driv-
ers and trainers there.

Mr. Withers one of the oldest and moBt erudite as well as
■practical racing men in America is attempting to form a Nat-
ional Jockey Club modeled from tbe English Jockey Club, it
should be a success and fill a long needed gap between East-
ern and Western Associations.

While we are organizing new races such as the Friendly
Stakes, etc, England keeps increasing the added money
and making races of greater value. Leicester is out with a
race for 1891 called the Leicestershire Roval Handicap; guar-
anteed value, £10 000, to be run at the second autumn meet-
ing. The conditions and payments are admirably framed.

Reagan, who died of the injuries received when She fell
with him at Clifton, was a very promising straightforward
rider, and has supported his mother for some time. J. H.
McCormick at onoe started a subscription list for her which
was headed by August Belmont's $100 cheque. McCormick
gave $100, and most of the prominent race horse owners
have contributed largely to the fund.-

W. A. Duer, secretary of tbe Travers' estate, which owns
aboxit 2500 Bhares of the Villa Site S'ock, is blamed for the
loss of money on the Jerome Park Meeting. Mr. Morris of-
fered 5 per cent, on the stock for them to ^oseup last season,
but Mr. Dwer who married a Miss Travers, would hold the
meeting which resulted so disastrously. John Hunter re-
ceived $10,000 a year to manage the track.

Garrison is said to have earned $20,000 last year, Birnes
$12,000, M. Bergen $9,000. Murphy, McLaughlin, and the
veteran, Bill Hayward, from $7,000 to $10,000 each. When
one considers the trials and deprivations they have undergone
to keep their weight down, and then considers the risks they
run, for broken legs, etc , are plentiful, they are not any
better paid than one would at first glance think.

B. P. Hill has sold all his racing stock except the stallion
Reveille, 45 head including brood mares, foals, etc. Among
them are the well known race horses Sid, Mikado, Tycoon,
and the two-year-old Steve Stroud, for a big figure to Marcus
Forster, of Los Angeles Co., and his brother J. D. Hill. The
broodmares and colts will be removed to the Hill ranch in
Ventura Co. Appleby will continue to train for the firm.

An England Sporting Daily says: "Mr. Linard has taken
Mr. John Splan the American trotter owner and trainer, to
Alexandra Park to inspect the trotting ground there. Splan
declared himself to be both surprised and delighted. Saving
Been all the most noted running and trotting tracks on the
"other side," he Bays he had never visited finer grounds for
the purpose than tbey possess at Muswell Hill." John
muBt be laying the British Public.

The Blood Horse Directors held a meeting on Tuesday
night, and after consulting with the bookmakers, decided to
run on Saturday if the track suited, and if not declare tbe
meeting off. The horsemen are very much disappointed for
they have been kept here hy promises ot extra days' raoing,
but of course, if the bookmakers were averse to holding any
extra days, it is under present conditions impossible to raoe.

Garrison has been the recipient of so much fulsome praise
that his brains (?) are evidently affected. Should he ever
attempt to ride in England he will find that it is verv differ-
ent to riding round our tracks,. and there is a strong chance of
bis going the wrong course if he makes the running and
thinks he is making the pace at Newmarket or Epsom; while
judging from his performances, he is not a good enough
judge of pace, and most decidedly, if he climbs up on his
horse's neck, etc., etc., to relieve him of his weight, as hia
adorers say he does, he will be laughed at, if not worse. There
is just as much difference between an English rider coming
here as an American rider going there, and they have the ad-
vantage, for they are apprenticed to their business.

After a critical examination of most of the crack trot-
ting stallions in the State, Luke du Bois decided to
breed his mare to Sidney, 2:19$. The mare is Moskova
(three year old record 2:2S£), foaled in 1883 at the cele-
brated Woodburn Farm by Belmont 64, sire of 19 trotters
and two pacerB in the 30 list, including Nutwood 2:18|,
Wedgwood 2:19, and grandsire of 61 trotters and two pacers
in the 2:30 list. First dam Moea by Woodford Mambrino 345
(sire of eleven in the 2:30 liBt and of Princeps 536). Grand-
sire of 36 in the 2:30 list. Second dam Hermosa (dam of
HernieB 2:27£, sire of three in the 2:30 list), by Edwin For-
rest 49 (sire of two in the 2:30 list and grandsire of 14).
Third dam Black Rose (dam of Darkness 2:27$, granddam of
Princeps 536, and many others). It is not astonishing that
Mr. du Bois has been asked to name a price by almost every
breeder in tbe State, for beside being of super-excellent breed-
ing she is related to all the best speed producers, and very
closely to Princeps, sire of so many fast trotters.

Letter from Lexington.

Lexington, Ky,, December 11, 1S89.

EniTOR Breeiier and Sportsman — I arrived here safely

Monday night, and was too tired yesterday to visit any of

the stock farms, so contented myself with sitting around the

lobby of the hotel. In tbe afternoon, however, I called upon

my old friend \V. T. Woodard. You know Bill Woodard

everybody knows him, as his fame as a combination sale
manager is almost universal. I found friend William at his
office, and after exchanging tbe usual courtesies we chatted
on the general topics of the day. The conversation finally
drifted to his coming February sale, and he is as chuck full
of conlidence as a clock is of wheels, to use his own expres-
sion, "it will be the greatest sale ever held on earth." He
will sell at Tracy & Wilson's Btable, two doors east of the
Phcenix Hotel, taking out the stalls on the right hand side
and placing tierB of seats instead for the accommodation of
4,000 people; a capital idea, inasmuch as he contemplates
lighting it thoroughly with electrio lights which wilt make it
the most advantageous sale track io the country, as it is cov-
ered entirely, closed at both ends and can be made as com-
fortable as if in one's own parlor, the track is over 300 feet
in length which is ample room to show the utmost speed.
He has engaged three auctioneers whioh he thinks are the
piers of any"in the business and be has tried nearly all of
them, but I am digressing.

When I got to his office I found him dictating letters by
the score to one of his cUrks and the others were directing
and mailing circulars to all parts of this country and to Eu-
rope. You know Billy's hobby is advertising, which reminds
me that about three weeks ago wben in a little village in Io-
wa, a town so small that it could not boaBt of a hotel the
substitute therefore being a one-horse boarding boose (and a
very bad one too) I strolled over to the livery stable being
naturally fond of horses, (I afterwards learned that was the
general loafing place of the town) it was a small frame affair
and you can imagine my surprise when the first thing (hat
met my gaze was Woodard's picture sent out in the form of
a poster advertising this very sale. After I had introduced
myself to the group gathered there I told them of my surprise
at seeing my friend's picture, when the proprietor informed
me that he got about four every year and remarked "that
man Woodard must be a great advertiser" and wnnl ' to
kuow all about him and his manner of conduolir-.
Every one of them expressed the desire of ati< i
this winter. Bill's a hustler and no mistake
you something of my trip next week.

Respectfully, j.i-

The official judges' book shows that tbe b m Lena Miller obtained a
record of 2:34i over tbe grounds of the member at Peoria, 111.; and
was afterwards entered over the grounds of tbe member at Hannibal.
Mo in tbe 2:37 class, wherein she was protested by tbe Secretary of
the" American Trotting Association, and her winnings, S35, were

Tbe defendant alleged and submitted evidence tendins to show that
the time recorded against said mare at Peoria, was a mistake; but as
no steps bad been taken to correct tbe record as required by the
Rules of the American Trotting Association, it is ordered, that the
protest be sustained and the winnings ol said mare, Lena Miller, be
re-distributed under the rules.

214. M. 0- Riley, Kearney, Neb., vs. Pueblo State Fair Association,
Pueblo, Colo., protested collection.

M. O. RUeyand Ibe b m Louettaand the b g C. P C, were suspended
by order of "tne member at Pueblo for non-payment of entrance in
1888 The horses were sold to James Leonard of Denver, Colo., as
free from all encumbrance. Tbe b m Lonetta was afterwards started
by said Leonard, who was obliged to pay the amount of her suspen-
sion. The payment of tbe claim was male by said Leonard in order
to relieve the mare.

An application was made to the Board of Appeals, th.it M. 0. Riley
he suspended until tbe amount of said claim was returned to said
Leonard.

The application was granted, and M. 0. Riley remained suspended
fonhe full amount of entrance on both horses. The claim was col-
lected fr"in M. O. Riley under protest on the grounds that the entries
at Pueblo were not prooerly made, and were conditional entries.

Ordered, that tbe protest of M. O. Riley be, and is, hereby over-
ruled ; that the amount paid by James Leonard, re-instating the b m
Louetta. be refunded to said Leonard, and the balance paid over to

In wh'ch said horse was entered, did not fill in accordance with tbe
published conditions, but was re-opened to close at a later date, and
that said horse was not re-entered.

It was conclusively shown that that race did fill, and was Dot re-
opened, and it is ordered, that the protest be over-ruled and the
money piid over to the member.

Neb., and was protested on account of record and change of name.

It was shown tbat the horse was the b g blazewood, with a re:ord oT
2:393. The name of Thomas Johnson is oelieved to be a fictitious
name, and the owners and controllers of the horse at said meeting
have not been discovered.

Ordered: That tbe second money be re-distributed under the rules,
ana that a fine of one hundred dollars <$10Q) be, and is, hereby im-
posed upon paid b g Blazewood and alias King; tbat a recording fee of

Flying Morgan and Black Hawk.

The following interesting reminiscences of Flying Morgan
is famished by a Vermont correspondent to the Mirror and
Farmer: "Your correspondent was agreeably entertained re-
cently by a viqit from a friend of Ticonderoga, N. Y., who,
among other capital stories, told this anecdote of old Flying

Morgan: 'It was in the fall of 1851,' said Mr. P , 'that

father asked me to go with him to Burlington to the State
Fair. I remember what a beautifnl trip on the lake it was
and all about old Black Hawk and Flying Morgan, who were
rival stallions exhibited with their stock. Old Black Hawk
was the rirst shown aud made a grand appearance at the head
of the cavalcade of his descendants, driven by his owner
David Hill. The band played a march and it was a fine
sight. Immediately after they left the track, Flying Morgan
was BhowD, and then were Been the style, attitudes and sym-
metry that only the Morgan horses possess. He was driven
slowly around the track when the band again played, this
time the most insignificant air that you can imagine. It was
a direct insult and cot Adams, who leaped from his wagoii
onto the stand and challenged aDy Black Hawk in tbe world
to defeat Flying Morgan one heat or twenty for any sum up
to §500. Tfllk abont excitement! Blood was at fever heat.
The crowd was about evenly divided, for the little Morgan
had friends then as well as to-day. A race was soon arranged,
the Black Hawk men matching a fast mare against the little
stallion. The track was not in the best condition and slightly
uphill at the finish, and here was where Flying Morgan did
tly, beating the mare out easily. It was a damp day for
Black Hawk men, bnt good feeling prevailed among the
Adams crowd, and rightly, for here was shown merit and this
is always appreciated. I never saw bnt once after such style
and beautifnl way of trotticg; it was at Ticonderoga when a
two-year-old stallion beat everything on the ice in the same
manner that so pleased me at Burlington. The name of that
two-year-old colt was Ethan Allen.

A Card From P. O. Kidd and H. E. Edmonson .

Editor Breeder and Spoetsman: — Oar recent combination
sale atChicago, IU., proved to be so eminently successful, and
being solicited by a number of prominent breeiers to hold a
spring sale there, we have consented to do so, and have
claimed the third and fourth weeks in February, 1890, for a
breeders* combination sale. In order to be able to concen-
trate all our time and energy in one direction, we have
thought it advisable not to hold a sale in Kentucky the com-
ing spring. We therefore not only feel it our duty, but a
pleasure, to return thanks to the friends and patrons who of-
fered us consignments for the proposed February sale at Lex-
ington, Ky. We have engaged with W. E. Brasfield & Co.
to conduct their Breeders' Combination Sale at Lexington
next February at the Kentucky Horse Exchange. To those
of our patrons and friends who enter stock in this sale, we
wish to say that their every interest will be served to the best
of our ability. P. C. Kidd,

E. E. Edmoxson.

There is still hope of a National Jockey Club. Mr. Withers
has written to England for the rules governing the turf there
and when he receives them the Eastern and Western Clabs
may unite in a set of rules that will be of benefit to racing.

Sacramento is particularly favored with its track for while

The gentleman who bought Niagara has at last been dis-
covered in Illinois. He purchased the colt iu 1856 midway
between Paris and Lexington, Ky., but he has forgotten the
pedigree of the dam. An inquiry has been started to get the
pedigree in full.

The Friendly Stakes that were instituted as a double event
by the Washington Park Club of Chicago and the Con^y Is-
land Jockey Club, have received in all 2?7 entries. It is es-
timated that tbe winner of each raoe will receive over $6,000,
or if one horse is fortunate enough to win both events, it
will be worth about $13,000 to the owner.

When a horse is recovering from any bronchial diseases,
he most get plenty of jadicious exercise before he gets any
work; plenty of slow work before he gets any fast work. He
can never gat fit for fast work by standing in a loose box.
The hreathing powers require to be gradually strengthened
by exercise, even more than the muscles and sinews.

Among the advertisements this week, will be found one.
from a prominent and well known Eastern driver asking for
a situation as traioer. His credentials are of the best and
he has piloted many a trotter to victory. This is a spl ndid
opportunity for some of oar breeders to Becure the services
of a first cUbs man. He has never been on this coaBt.

Horsemen are frequently politicians and aspire for high
office at the hands o the people. Among those prominently
Bpoken of for Governor are L. TJ Shippee, of Stockton;
Mayor Gregory, of Sacramento; Frank L Coombs, of Napa;
Sena'or Frank C. DeLoog, of Marin; John Boges, of Colusa;
L. J Rose, of Los Angeles; and Senator B. F. Langford, of
San Joaquin.

C. H. Corey of San 0o?e writes to say that Almont Patchen
i*once more himself and that the great pacer is fit to go a-
gainst anytbiog in his class, and that is the free for all.
When tbe ma(ch is arranged between Adonis and Roy Wilkes
it Bhonld be made for bo much a corner and allow others to
enter, then Mr. Corey could have a chance to show what Al-
mont Patchen can do.

The breeding-on quality of the Almont blood in both the
male and female lines is remarkable. Almont mares appear
to inherit the prtpjtency of their great 6ire in abont the
Hame proportion as Almont horses. It is wonderful blood in
both the male and femalu lines. Forty-rjine sons and twenty-
two daughters make a great showing for a twenty-five year
old horse.

L. A. Divies authorizes me to say that he will match Roy
Wilkes for tiny amount from $1,000 up to $2,500 against any
trotter or pacer owned west of the Mir-B^uri River, the race
to take place prior to February I5tb; the race to take place
ovc-r tbe Bay District track. The reason for naming such an
early date is because the horse will make a Btud season at
Pleasauton after the time mentioned.

J. D. Hill and W. A.FoBter of Ventura have purchased all
the race animals lately owned by B. P. Hill of El Cajon. Not
wishing to engage in tbe racing business, the gentlemen offer
for Bale tbe two thoroughbreds Tycoon and Mikado, now in
training at the Bay District track. Tbe horses are well
known to tbe public and should be disponed of easily, a-s
thuy are capable of beating more than the average field of
horses.

C. H. Cory, of San Jose, the owner of Almont Patchen,
seems to be anxious to match bis horse against Roy Wilkes
for $5,000 a side, the race to take place over the San Jose
trp"k. He is in communication now with Mr. Davies in r.-
la ion to the matter.

The Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake will close
January 1st with the largest list of entries ever named in a
stake in California. At the present writing it is fair to as-
sume that several hundred entries will be made and the win-
ners will reap a rich return for the small amount necessary to
en'er. Those who have not received blanks Bhonld send for
tl • n at once.

Casey Winchell may never ride again, at least it is reported
that he has gained bo much iu averdupoia that he will not be
able to train down again. The report comes from the EaBt
that he now weigliB 145 pounds. His brother who has been rid-
iog during the season in Nevada is a boy full of pluck with
good seat and hands, and it is just possible that he may take
Casey's place in the Winter's Stable.

In many of the Eastern papers an item has appeared sta-
ting that Sunol is the only trotter that has ever gone a quar-
ter of a mile iD 30 seconds. This is an error. Palo Alto has
gone a quarterin the same time, and during the early part of
last summer Homestake, owned by M. Salisbury, trotted a
quarter in the presence of half a dozen gentlemen at tbe
Pleasanton track, and the time was caught by all alike, 30
seconds ri at.

Encourage the man who has the "sand" to invest liberally
in a good stallion aDd bring him into your neighborhood by
patronizing his horse. A good stallion in any section of the
country that will appreciate him means thousand of dollars
added to the value of the horse stock of that section, and
every man in it will be benefited thereby. The direct and
greatest benefits will be enjoyed by those who take hold first.

D- D. Withers is more than pleased with his new traiDer,
Knapsack McCarthy. The Faverdale colt, one of the crack-
erj*ck two year olds, but a failure as a three year old, last
seaSnn, and who wsb thought to have been broken down, has
beenrarefully examined by McCarthy, and the trouble has
been located in the foot. His leg^ are all right. The un-
named son of Sensation and Faverdale will be seen on the
turf again next season.

There has been entirely too much "pegging" of prices on
trotting Btock lately, and it got so that according to newspaper
reports, a stallion of good breeding, be he two years old or
twenty, is never sold for less than $10,000. If people who
are parties for tbe aale of a horse are not willing that the real
price at which he changes hands shall be made public the
best way is to say nothing about that feature of the matter. —
Breeder's Gazette.

The large heart and lungs of the sanguine temperament
must be present in every successful racer, but every race
horse must also be highly nervous and highly fibrous. Tbe
different proportions of these two temperaments in different
race horses, often quite imperceptible to the eye, is what
principally decides the distance at which they are best. If
only duly nervous the horse will be a long stayer; if excess-
ively nervous he will exnaust his best powers in the first
half mile.

C. X. Larabie, Portland, Oregon, has purchased from Bher-
wood Farm, Sheldon, Iowa the following well bred trotting
stook: weanling bay colt L L. D., by Woodford Wilkes,
dam China Wilkes by Adrian Wilkes 6560, her dam Mam-
brino Qaeen by Mambrino Patchen 58; the weanling bay
colt Legend by Woodford Wilkes, dam Diana by Swigert, her
dam Volunteer Qaeen by Volunteer; the bay weanling filly
Lyre by Woodford Wilkes, dam Kate Griffith by Alden Gold-
smiib; bay filly JeweSB Wilkes, 2 yrs. old, by Woodford
Wilkes, dam Rosillia by Swigert, her dam by Goldsmith's Ab-
dallah 164, record 2:30; yearling black filly Kissie by Wood-
ford Wilkes, dam Belle Lucas by Swigert, her dam by Rich-
ard's Bellfounder; the bay yearling colt Kittrell by Woodford
Wilkee, dam by Alexander 2:28f ; and the bay filly Kanona by
Baymont, dam Minnie Wilkes (sister to Lillian pacing record
2:15), by Adrian Wilkes 6560, her dam Abadallah Lightfoot
by Mambrino Abdallah 1369.

I have received from "Aurelius," the well-known breeder
and correspondent, a catalogue of his brood mares and foals
.for 1889. They are all registered and of the highest type of
American trotters, and fit to grace any harem iu the land.
Aurelius says in his announcement: "There is do one
amoDgst them that would not be a good animal to own and
keep, if the judgment of the owner is not at fault. ThoRe
that are Bmall are producers of large Btock, and those that
are large are tit for any purpose. I have endeavored to breed
them to such horses as would croBs with them, not only in
blood, bnt also in disposition and shape. Any one of these
mares would make an excellent road mare, and the two that
have records have all their speed now, and are kind and
sound. I cannot keep all, and most will be sold. The buyer
will make his own selection, and will not fail, in buying any,
to have a good one."

The student of bleeding is continuously on the lookout
for anything that tends to improvo the blood lines and add
to the value of the foals. There is no one that pays more
attention to tbe theories, and practically demonstrates them
than Mr. Gilbert Tompkins of San Leandro. Daring the'
week he has purchased from Palo Alto Stock Farm, El" Ben-
ton, foaled 18S8, by Electioneer, dam Nellie Benton, by Gen
Benton, 2nd dam Norma, by Alexander's Norman, 3rd dam
by Todhunters Sir Wallace. Mr. Tomkins has also pur-
chased from the same place, the bay colt, Glen Fortune
foaled 1886, by Electioneer, dam Glenne by Messenger Duroc'
2nd dam Glenella by Woodward Btar, 3rd dam Shanghai
Mary (dam of Green Mountain Maid). These are two finely
bred colts and will contribute in no small measure to the suc-
cess of Southern Farm.

At a recent public meetiDg at Leicester, England, the pop-
ular Episcopalian Bishop of Peterborough delivered himself
of the following sensible views with regard to bettiD" and
racing: ''There is no sin in racing or betting any more than
there is sin m drinking; excessive betting is sin just as ex-
cessive drinking is sin." Without denying that gambling
may be injurious, the Bishop of Peterborough proceeded to
give a detimtoan of betting, which it would be difficult to
improve upon. "What," aBked his lordship, "is betting'
It is Bimply the buying of chances. A man either pays or
promises to pay a certain sum of money upon the obanoe of
a certain event happening— whether it is a horse running a
ra«e. a card of a certain color turning np, or the risiDg or fall
mg of stocks, does not matter If a man says -I will bet
yon five shillings that it will not rain to-morrow ' I think it
would take a lonp time to prove from the Bible that that man
was guilty of a sin." **u»u

Nominations for the Breeder
and Sportsman Futurity Stake
close Wednesday, Jan. 1st. 1890.
Entries must be made on or before
that date. See Advertisement.

Nothing is more detrimental to tbe reputation of a good
stallion than inferior offspring, says tbe National Stockman.
When His remembered that the stallion is generally judged
by his colts, and that the character of the mares is rarely
coDBidered in making up this judgement, it will be seen that
stallion owners are often too careless or obliging for their
own good in allowing their horses to serve anything that will
pay the fee. This thing of choice in breeding should not be
all on one side, and tbe owner of the horse Bhonld have and
exercise the privilege of selection to an extent that will in-
sure a reBult of wbich he may be justly proud. Such a
course on the part of stallion owners would no doubt cost
them some fees and give offonse to some people, but it will
be found the most profitable in the end.

A syndicate of Salinasites, composed of J. D. Carr, J. B..
Iverson, M. Lynn and others, has purchased from SeDator
Stanford for $5 000 the fine two year old stallion designated
in tbe Pa'o Alto catalogue as Eugene, says the Salinas Index.
The colt was brought down from Palo Alto yesterdav, and is
now in charge of Jas. Dwain at the Salinan race track. He is
of fine form and action, of a beautiful bright bay color, with
off hind ankle white, is fifteen hands three inches, weighs
about 1,050 pounds and was foaled at Palo Alto, Feb. 7, 1887.

Eageue's sire is the world famous Electioneer, and his dam
is Lady Ellen 2:28, by Carr's Mambrino, boh of Mambrino
Patchen. sire of the dams of Guv Wilkes 2;15i, Antral 2:18,
Rosa Wilkes 2:18J. Lady Ellen's first dam was by Owen Dale
sire of dam of Susie 2:26J; 2nd dam Ida May, by Belmont, sire
of dam of Bell Echo; 3rd"dam by Red Buck, son of Bertrand,
from which it wi'l be seen that Eugene's dam is a true repre-
sentative of the Mambrino Patchens, one of the greatest brood
mare lines yet produced.

Charles Marvin considers Eugene the choicest of the two
year old colts at Palo Alto, and we think his purchasers have
secured a splendid bargain.

The directors of the Montana Agricultural Mineral & Me-
chanical association met last week, at Helena, Mon'ana, to dis
cuss their plans and make preparations for the season of
1890.

The new buildings will be pushed so as to have them in
readiness for the next Fair. The board decided to give a
four days race meeting July, 2, 3 4, and 5, at which liberal
purses will be huog up for both runners and trotters.

At the Fair in August the meeting will be extended to a ten
days race meeting to accommodate the increasing attendance
and to satisfy the demands of the horsemen for more rating.
By holding a ten days meeting the directors hope to give Fair
week more attention and prominence. The meeting will
commence Aug. 20 and close Aug. 30. Messrs. Hundly, Hard
Chessman and Pope were appointed a committee to prepare
the racing programme. The premium list will be submitted
to a different committee and be revised latter. The treasurer
reported that about $11,000 in permanent improvements had
been expended during the present season, and that about
$30,000 would be required for the improvements, for which
plans are being prepared.

The sale of the Spendthrift stud, announced to come off
at Lexington, Ky., on December 6. proved a grand fiasco,
and was the cause of some sensa ion among those present
says the Horseman. Shortly after tbe sale opened, and just
as the stallion Spendthrift was knocked down to Treacy &
Wilson for SI 4. 000, C. W. Bathgate, the agent for Samuel
Boocock, of New York, owner of the stud, called Capiain
Kidd's attention to a telegram from tnat gentleman ordering
the sale stopped. This was bo unexpected that the large
crowd of horsemen present were dnmfounded for a few min-
utes, and then they began to kick. W. H. Cheppu bet Juhn
Madden $100 that the telegram was received before the sale
commenced, and upon investigation it was found the mes-
sage was received at 11 o'clock the night before, but was not
delivered until about 9 o'clock that morning. This action on
the part of Mr. Boocock created quite a senBation, and cau6ed
much unfavorable comment. No blame was attached to
Bruce & Kidd, who conducted the pale, as they were Dot a-
ware of the Fale being declared off until the horse Spend-
thrift was sold. Mr. Bathgate afterward offered Spendthrift
to Milton Young for $13,500, but he declined to take him,
although he bid $13,605 for him when he was under the ham-
mer. Six horses, the property of different owners, were sold
for a total of $4,620, an average of about $770, The two
highest priced ones were the Beven-year-old bay stallion Fa-
vor, by Pat Malloy, oat of Favorite, purchased by Milton
Young, of Lexington, for $3, 105, and the seven-year-old bay
mare Brit a, by Virgil, out of Laxity, bought by J. B. Poth-
er, of Maryville, Me., for $660.

Followmg tbe lead of Secretaries Lawrence and Brewster,
in formulating The Friendly Stake, a new stake has been ar-
ranged to be run at three Kentucky racing points at Lexing-
ton, Louisville and Latonia, as haa heretofore been announc-
ed. After a good deal of corresponding the full details have
been arranged, and that it will be an unique tixure, the con-
ditions show:

The Kentuoky Jack-pot Stakes— To be run annually over the
courses of the Kentucky Association at Lexington, tbe Louis-
ville Jockey Club at Louisville and the Latonia Jockey Club
at Covington. Entries for the spring meeting 1890 to close on
Jan. 15, 1890; for three year olds and upward; entrance $100,
half forfeit, or only $20 if declared on or before April 15, 1890
(money to accompany declarations); $l,000added by the asso-
ciation to the stake run over its own track; the first race to be
at 1 J miles and to be ruu over the coarse of the Kentucky As-
sociation; the second race to be 1J miles, and to be run over
the course of the Louisville Jockey Club; the third race to be

third $100; the remainder will be held by the association,
and when any horse shall win three of Baid races, said horse

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphippus.
SUMMARY.

The Alpine Amateur Athletic Club was organized in Al-
bion H«ll A'c-zar Building, on Thursday eveniog, December
12th From present indications it would appear that this
newlv formed club ia bound to make itself known in a very
short space of time. In onr columns will be found full par-
ticulars of the meeting.

The wet weather is still with us and until such time as
the rain ceases, the athletes will be unable to take outdoor
exercise However, it is probable that when the weather
clears up we may expect a dry spell of several months, dur-
ing which time the out-door athletes will have ample time to
gdt into trim for future events.

Judging from the ereat interest taken in the newly organ-
ized athletic clab, athletics will boom during the nest couple
of months.

RUNNERS, WALKER'S, JUMPERS, ETC.

The members of the Alpine Club are determined to carry-
off the championship pennant in 1890.

The sporting editor of a leading daily paper in bis columns
last Monday remarked that if the Alpine Club is able to carry
off thirl place in the games on May 30th. it may consider it-
self lucky "SVe were allowed to look over the charter loll
and we are of the opinion that this young organization haB
m its ranks a sufficient number of first olas3 athletes to mike
aeood fight for first and not third place. The charter ro'l
has been signed by s-me of the leading athletesoo the Pacmc
Coast Quite a number of young men have left the ranks of
tie Olympic California, Oc:idental and Golden Gate Athletic
Clubs, in order to seek fame and victory under the banner
of the Alpine Club.

H C Cassidy the young English athlete who made each a
fine 'showing in the mile race on Thanksgiving Day, has
decided to remain in San FraDCisco. Ee has jolted the
Alpine A. A. C.

McKinnon the hammer thrower; Sheehau, the pole vaul-
ter and general athlete; Vultee, the high jumper; Larkey.
Tank Moody Gerhow and Kenealey, the well-known run-
ners,'and Gafney, Zebfnss and Elridge, the old-time walkers,
have also jjined the club.

The postponed cross-country run under the auspices of the
Olympic Athletic Club, will take place at Milbrae to-morrow,
weather permitting.

The gymnasium of the Olympic Club presents an animated
appearance on class nights From the very large number of
that exercise at the present time, it is very evident

athletes ^

that indoor sports are becoming very popular with the ath-
letes of the club.

It is to be hoped that the organization of the Alpine Ath-
letic Club will be productive of arousing the Executive mem-
bers of the Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic Association from
their present lethargy. These gentlemen do not appear to
be overburdened with too much ambition or push, and the
sooner they make up their minds to begin in earnest, the
better for the good of athletics.

It is said that the medals to be presented to the winneis of
the different events at the late out-door meeting of the Olym-
pic Athletic Clu>, will be the handsomest ones ever given
for out-door sports by the club.

We regret that Dave Egan, the popular and speedy sprin-
ter has decided to retire permanently from the cinder path.
He' gave every promise of developing into a first-class man.

Prof. Walter "Watson will probably Bucceed Prof. Corbett
as boxing instructor to the Olympic Club.

The wrestling matches will commence at the California
Club in January with a Grseco-Roman contest between Un-
german and Mertes.

C A. Parker of Newman and W. A. Ross of Modesto
■wrestled catch as-catcb-can at the Modesto Athletic CJub on
Thursday evening, Deo. 12. Ross won the first fall on the
preceeding Saturday evening, and Parker won the two con-
cluding bouts on the evening of the 12th. The match was
for a $500 purse and 60 per cent of the gate receipts.

A mixed wrestling match between James Faulkner, the cham-
pion lwht weight wrestler i f the woild, and Peter Schumach-
er middle weight ohampion of the Pacific Coast, took place
at* the Mechanics' Pavilion, Portland, Oregon, on Saturday
evening last. Schumacher was more than a match for
Faulkner, and easily won the contest and purse of §500.

The 20th street branch of the Young Men's Christian As-
sociation gave a piize athletic contest for its members on
Thursday evening, Dec. 12th, in their hall 2319 Mission
street There was a very large attendance of members and
friends of the contestants. The entertainment consisted of
Indian club swinging, exercises on the horizontal bar exer-
cises on the parallel bars, horse vaulting, pyramids and tug-
of-war. Handsome medals were given to the victors in
each of the contests. H. G. Curwin won the all round medal.
The exercises were under the direction of Louis Pattenghi,
the gymnasium instructor.

The games of the Seventh PLegiment Athletic Association
of New York City, were held on Saturday evening, Dec. 7th.

THE WHEELMEN".

It is rumored that the Bay City Wheelmen will hold a one
nights tournament at the Mechanics Pavilion within a couple
of months.

An article appeared in the sporting columns of one of the
daily papers on last Monday refering to the actions of Messrs.
R. M. Thompson chief consul of Cal. and Thos. H. Doane,
chairman of the State racing board in the cases of the two
wheelmen who were suspended for competing in the profes-
sional— amateur races held a few months ago at the Meehan-
i s Pavilion. The writer for the article (wbich wai copied
from a Portland Oreg. paper) was evidently interested in
the bicycle swindle and like a coward he now seeks revenge
through the press. That the editor of the Portland paper
ever allowed such an article to reach the printers hands we
are surprised. There is no necessity lo attempt to prove how
talse the statements are: lor Messrs. Doane and Thompson's
characters and ability are too well known by all parties inter-
ested in bicycling

A regular mesting of the Bay City Wheelmen was held at

4T THE OAES.

The Dolphin Boat Club has elected the following offioers:
President, J. H. Medan; Treasurer, A. L. Schuppert; Record-
ing Secretary, Fred Staib; Financial Secretary, B. Jamison;
Captain, P. Von Hadeln; Lieutenant-captain, A. P. Roth-
kopf; Sergeant-at-Arme, G. W. Van Gnelpen. Delegates to
the Pacific Rowing Association: G. W. V*m Gaelpen, T. Rus-
sell, A. R. Kothkopf; Executive Committee, Fred WiBsing,
James O'Dwyer and E. Chenowith. Messrs. Wissing,
O'Dwyer, Staib, Jamison and Schuppert were appointed a
committee to arrange for a picnio to be given next year.

Dave Dillon, the once famons oarsman and former Austra-
lian champion Soulier, while out in a small boat in New
York harbor, was swept oat to sea, and there is gieit anxiety
concerning his fate.

William O'Connor has challenged the world to row against
him for the sculling championship. On account of Searles'
death, he claims the championship, and is ready to row any
person or persons that may dispute his title. Charles H.
Thayer, of Boston, offers a parse of §5 000 for a champioaahip
race, open to every oarsman who thinks he has a rigut to the
championship; the race to be rowed on Americin waters.

The Pioneer Club has lately taken the most active interest
in rowing. Its members predict a brilliant season for ISflO.
Charley Long rowed to Hunters' Point in his shell on
Sunday.

John Sullivan, the victor of the single scull race on
Thanksgiving Day, went over the five mile course and
coached Lon White on the way home.

Two barge crews were over to the North End Clab house
from tbe Pioneers.

The Ariels sent out a crew in their barge Ariel. The crew
took a row along the city front as far aB Washington street
float.

Walter Blake of the Ariels took the club's Whitehall boat
and rowed to the Union Iron workB.

There is a rumor floating round the Ariel Club (not on tbe
water) that one of its popular and successful members will
join the Benedict ranks on next Monday. ''Here's suc-
cess."

Before long there is a probability that a match can be ar-
ranged for a two mile barge race between two crews connected
with the San Francisco post office. C. W. V. O'Brien of the
main office will challenge any crew of men connected with
the Postal Department for a banquet.

Here is a chance for the Station B crew to accept and try
conclusions.

A boat club will be established in connection with the Al-
pine Amateur Athletic Club at Harl>or View.

CLUB JOTTINfi.

The Alpine Club will be a very valuable addition to the P.
C. A. A. A.

Now that the leading amatenrs of tbe Golden Gate Athletic
Club have joined the newly organized club the G. G. A. C.
will probably lose all interest in its amateur branch.

In all probability inside of six months the amateur annex
of the Californsa Athletic Club will be out of existence. A
prize fighting club no matter how popularit may be can never
expect to be recognized as an amateur club. The young ath-
letes oonneoled with the fighting institutions are beginning
to realize the fact, hence when the Alpine clnb was organized
several amatuers deseited their old club and joined the ranks
o what is going to he the leading genuine amateur athlelic
clab of the Pacific Coast.

The cnainpionBbip games ou May 30 will most undoubtedly
be the best of the kind ever held on the coast and should
attract at least 10,000 people.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Golden Gate
Athletic Club, held on December 3d, tbe dues for tbe month
of December were fixed at $1.50, and the initiation for new
members (including the first month's dues) at $7 50.

The postponed contest between Mike Lucie and Jimmy Car-
rol has been set for Wednesday evening, January 22d, 1890.

Class evenings — Monday, "Wednesday and Friday, 8 to 10.

Class afternoons —Tuesday, Thursday aud Saturday, 3.30
to 5.30.

VIVE L ALPINE.

On Thursday evening, December 12th, a Dumber of ama-
teur athletes met in Albion Hall, Alcazar Building O'Farret
street, to organize a gentlemen's amateur athletic club.
About 100 young men were present. At 9 o'clock p. M. Gaf-
ney proposed that the meeting be called to order. M. C.
Giry was unanimously elected temporary Chairman and P.
N. Gafney temporary Secretary. The first question brought
before the house was, "What name shall fcwe call the club?"
E.Phil. Moody made the first suggestion. "Alpine Amateur
Athletic Club." C. Vnltee proposed "Paciuo — Eureka."
Several other names were suggested and the question was
put to a vote. "The Alpine" was selected unanimously.
The Chairman, in a lengthy speech, stated the objects of tne
meeting. In conclusion, be said: "This club will be a mem-
bers' clab. It will be run in the interest of the members and
by the members, and not in the interest and under the gov-
ernment of a corporation. We propose to run the Alpine
Club on a basis similar to that of the Olympic Club. We
will have boxing but no 'knock out' matches. We will do
all in our power to purify athletic sports and to down hippo-
dr ming. It should be the desire of each and every member
to try and make the clab a select one — a ladies' club, for
without the aid of the ladies (God bless them!) we could
never expect to reach the same social level that the Olympic
Club now stands on.

Each nnnth we will hold at our Athletic grounds at Har-
bor View, a members handicap meeting, prizes will be given
by the clnb. Each nnnth at our City Club rooms we will
give an athletic exbibition to which ladies can be invited.
After the exhibition dancing will follow. A. couple of times
a year we will hold open games and all legitimate amateur
athletes will be allowed to compete. We will employ men
to train and rub our athletes. We will send teams of onr
best men all over the State to compete in the games given
by outside clubs. Occasionally we will give orchestral con-
certs at our club rooms. In fact all the inducements in the
world will be offered to our members. I am in this under-
taking heart aud soul and I only wish that each and every
member would feel as I do. Gentlemen, inside of one year,
we will have a membership of from 500 to 1000. The name
"Alpine" will float all over tbe United States. This is a clnb
that should have been started year3 ago, but still we are
starting it at a good time. The numerous so called athletic
clubs are begininng to lose their interest for Amateur mem-
bers and all the athletes outside of the Olympic Club will
soon register their names on our roll.

In conclusion, let me impress upon yoa all the necessity
of caution in accepting members, we want only gentlemen.
It makes no matter what a man works at as long as he is a
gentleman.

My interpretation of what a gentleman should be is this:
He should be of a good moral and social standing. He
should not be tough nor in any way inclined to be tongh.
He should be fit 10 mix in the company of ladies, for I feel
that the ladies will be our friends. Let every man work in
the interest of his club. You will be rewarded in the end.
Tne knowledge of what you have done in the past in the in-
terest of your club will be your pay in the fu'.sre. Stick to
our motto "Labor omnia vincil" Labor conquers everything."
The following committee were then appointed.
On training grounds: — Messrs. M. C. Giry, T. J. Cunning-
ham, I. I. McKinnon, E. Sullivan and T. N, Gafney.

On Constitution and By Laws: — Messrs. E. Sullivan, W.
Kramer, T. J. Cunningb&ui, Chas. Nultee and P. G. Gaf-
ney.

On gymuasiam and Apparatus:— Messrs. I. L McKinnon,
E. Phil Moody, George Armbrush, M. C. Giry, I. McKenna
and E. Sullivan.

The outdoor grounds of the club will be at Harbor v lew,
where ths members will have the use of the best salt water
baths on the Coast. The running path, eight (S) laps to the
mile will be placed ia tip top condition, and a large and com-
fortable dressing room with showers attached will be erec-
ted. The gymnaainm and club rooms will possibly be situ-
ated on 10th St. near Market W. Since the organization of
the Clab applications for membership have been coming in
at the rate of twenty a day. OflBcers were elected last eve-
ning and other important business transacted particulars of
which will appear next week.

AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION.

Assistant leader of tbe Olympic Club, Mr. Ed. A. Kolb,
called at this office one day last week to talk over what he
deems a feasible and meritorious scheme in connection with
the clab. Mr. Kolb beside being a superior gymnast and
general athlete, is also fond of rowing and swimming, and
his idea is that a little encouragement from the Olympic
Club will put into tbe field one or two crews equal to any on
the coast. Mr. Kolb at present occasionally odes a boat
house in Alameda Estuary, where there is plenty of room,
good water aud every facility for rowing.

He is sure the O. C. can procure s convenient site for a
boat house, erect the necessary building, procure a barge aud
a racing toat for from $1000 to S1500. Tbere are in the
club many tine oarsmen, Ed. Winslow, Frank Pratt, Henry
Smith George Miehling, H. Denhard, Joe Marshall, F.,C.
Grimm, Bob McCord, Haberly, Walter Scott, George Har-
rold and'S. V. Casady. Mr. Kolb and a dozen others might
be named, all of whom would go in for the scheme with en-
thusiasm. The club has an ample reserve, and if the preva-
lent impression that the buildiog scheme will be indefinitely
postponed be well founded, the clnb will soon have soma
forty or fifty thousands of dollars to spare, part of which we
think mieht profitably be pat into the rowing ven'r
lined. We hope Mr. Kolb's suggestion may meet 1 1
ble consideration of the Board of Directors.

THE GUN,

Game Law Prosecution.

A prosecution under the State law for the protection of
game has been victorions iu the county court of Eppingham
County, IU , and the defendant has appealed the case to the
Supreme Coott of the State. It is a case brought against the
American Express Company for transporting game in viola-
tion of the law. The lower court deoided against the com-
pany, and the Company has appealed. The highest court in
the State will now pass upon tht, case, and its decision will
be awaited with interest throughout the country. Supreme
Courts are not always infallible, as our own State Supreme
Court has demonstrated in important cases by reversing its
own decisions with a change of its members, and again, in
other cases, reversing the decisions pronounced by identi-
cally the same judgeB sitting in judgment. The Supreme
Court of the United StateB has similarly reversed its decis-
ions on very grave questions and in cases of less importance.
Still the action of the Supreme Court of Illinois in this game
law case will serve as authority |in that State at leaBt, and
will be likely to create and mould opinion in other States as
to the effect and force of laws to protect game.

The parties to the prosecution in Eppingham merit com-
mendation. It is reported to be the first case of the kind in
the land. If express companies can transport game or skins
unlawfully obtained, as common carriers, all others can
equally violate the law with impogoity, and it is well to have
clear determination of the matter, A decision adverse to the
Express Company by a State Supreme Conrt will have whole-
some tendenoy toward stopping infractions of the game laws,
which iB very much required in every State. The active
members of sportsman's clubs all over the country, and every
advocate of game laws will rejoice that the case in Illinois
has been pusLed to the Sapreme Court, and in the event of
an affirmation of the judgment of the lower court more ef-
fective steps can be taken to enforce the law. In cases of re-
versal of the lower court by the Supreme Court laws can be
framed to meet the exigency and to punish offenders. The
wishes and sympathies of sports men and hunters of game
in California are with their fellow-citizens in Illinois, who
are prosecuting the case in point.

Mr. Allen to Dr. Moore.

Field Editor Bredder and Sportsman:— My attention
has been called to au article in your paper of December 14th.,
entitled "Almost a serious accident" and I thank you on behalf
of Messrs. Parker Bros., as well as my self, for your com-
ments on Dr. J. J. Moore's article in the Tlumas National.

Your remarks are all.themore appreciated because they were
wholly UDSolicted and because you had no knowledge of the
transaction with Dr. Moore until you saw the article;

The facts of the case are, that this gun was pnrohased by
Dr. Moore through our customer Mr. B. Schneider at Quinoy
Cal„ three years ago and has been in use ever since. When
Mr. Schneider advised me that one of the barrels of this gun
had burst (remarked that it had been in use three years), he
asked me what I could do about it? To this I replied that
Parker gnn barrels do not burst without some obstruction in
the barrel or on account of improper loading, askiug him a
number of questions as to the circumstances under which it
happened, remarking that three years was a long time to war-
rant a gun and offering to send the gun to Parker Bros, with
his letter, for their inspection and an expression of their
views in the matter. Upon receipt of the gun, Parker Bros,
wrote me that they could not determine what was the cause
as they saw no indication of a flaw and as'the gnn had been in
UBe three years, they thought they ought not to stand the
loss or any part of it, but to be liberal and just they were
to put on a new pair of barrels at half price, namely $15,00
which they thought ought to be satisfactory.

We sent Parker Bros, letter through our customer to Dr.
Moore, who ordered the new pair of barrels at the price
named, adding to his order a promise to ventilate the matter
in the local paper.

This the first instance of a Parker gun barrel bursting
without a cause and I believe Mr. Editor if you or I had been
present at the time we could have easily found a reason for

it. E. T. Allen

San Francisco, Deo. 17th, 1S89.

[Mr. Allen's assurance that in his dealings with Dr. Moore
every effort was made to do exact justice was not needed.
"We are acquainted with Mr. Allen, and know that he is aB
good aB any other man, while not claiming to be better. Dr.
Moore had no right to ask,a new pair of barrels, and the fact
that he did so and insisted upon it suggests the idea that
Moore is the sort of man who expects' more than is vouch.
Hafed to ordinary customers, and as justification for the ex-
traordinary demand sets up some special plea, suoh as that
he bus been an especial advocate of the gun.ior that he has
been at great p'lins to sell guns of the make to friends, or
some other plea of the kind, which is at times effective, but
which stampB the maker as open to undue influence. That
Dr. Moore should threaten to "ventilate the matter in the
local paper" shows another and not unexpected phase of his
character. Just what stuff the editor cf the Plumas National
in made of we do not know, but if be is like most editors he
will bo the last of men to permit anything like the use of his
columns for the wreaking of personal spite. For aught we
know Dr. Moore may own the National. If he does not, fhen
we can only account for the appearance of the item reprinted
jist week on the hypothesis that the editor failed to see it in
proof. Dr. Moore in some relations may be the fairest and
Rquarest of men. but he has laid himself open to criticism in
the matter of his Parker gnn transaction. — Fikld Ed.]

Game Protection Club at Callahan's.

A meeting of the citizens of Callahan's was held last we6k,
to organize a club for the purpose of enforcing the hw for
the preservation of game and fish. A constitution was formu-
lated, and the club got in preliminary working order, by the
election of C. F. Boye, President, George H. Mitchell, Sec,
and A. H. Bar, Treas., with a total membership of 19. This
is a move which should have been made long ago. The
mountains near Callahan's, on the head waters of Scott
River, and the various tributaries of the Trinity, used to be
considered one of the finest hunting gronnds on the coast,
but ruthless and unprincipled skin-hunters have made it al-
most a desert in regard to game. Hundreds of carcasses of
deer could be seen a month ago at the licks on Coffee Creek,
from which scarcely a shred of flesh had been used for food,
and the slaughter there was begun way last winter. It is
time to call and enforce a halt. "We hope to hear of other
sections taking a hand in the matter, so the deer may not
become like the buffalo and mountain Bheep, things of the
past.

To the Top of Mt. Whitney.

XV.

August 12th came seasonably, and as the Pilgrims sat at
breakfastin the reassuring rays of the morning sun, all seemed
fo be well, until the Captain remarked in a tentative way.
"well, let us take the advice of our venerable and distinguished
visitor of last night and move camp to Kunklts to-day."
There was a monentary stir like the suggestion of a chill and
then the Enthusiast took the bits. "Visitor! what in blank's
sake are you talking about? Visitor! I want you to know!"
That started the ball. One after another the Pilgrims caught
it and threw it, with in-curve. pitchiog high, throwing low,
each mother's son of them whistling like the most valiant
boy in the dreariest graveyard, until a chance toss stuck the
chef de cuisioe somewhat in thia manner: "Joe, you didn't
see any visitor last night did you0" Being fairly hit, and
looking pretty white thereat, the chef remarked, "me, I go
look see horses," and took a base by moving from under a
little shade into the broad light of a genial sun. The others
talked the louder and by the aid of the engrossments of day-
light shuffled themselves into the belief that the vivid reality
of the nigbt just passed was — only a dream. It may be so;
but in the vastness of these mighty mountains where gnomes
might revel and elfs disport, there is room and place for even
mightier genii than Father Time,

However, Hankie's was moved upon. Up and over a lit-
tle divide and then down and down with bask and foward
zigzag almost 2000 feet in five miles till Runkles', named
Camp Headquarters was reached. ThiB was to be the base
of supplies for the final attack upon the summit of Mt. Whit-
ney and here the Pilgrims girded themselves. The Aitist,
Captain and Enthusiast loitered engrossed with the oamera,
righteously desirous of taking pictures of Nature's wonders
which should here ifter serve as mementos to them and to all
and at one point while busily engaged, saw others of the band
unloading and making camp 2000 feet below.

This camp is upon Kern River a mile or po above the Lake,
bo called. The story is that twenty or more years ago there
came in this region a steady rain which lasted for days and
days. Loosened by the moisture, a mountain slide slid in-
to the bed of Kern Eiver, carrying with it acres of boulders
and debris with mighty trees, many of which still Btand in
the bed of the stream leafles and lifeless. A resident many
mileB below describes the steady downpouring and how the
river waters ragedjand raised day by day, until when«i migbt-
y torrent waB expected, the waters commenced to lower.
What could have happened no one Knew. The windows of
heaven were open, yet the fountains of the deep subsided,
until the third day, when with a mighty roar and devouring
force such a torreDt poured down the channel of Kern River
as never before or since has been heard of. At one gorge be-
low Kemville the water raised 70 feet above the natural river
bed, and to this day, even to where the river debouches up-
on the plains, huge tree trunks lie stranded on the moun-
tain sideB apparently up and above all possible river reach.

The river bed must have been filled 300 high by this moun-
tain slide and in the now comparatively sluggish water course
called the lake, lined with gnarled tree trunks, five pounds —
and perhaps greater — in the trout line, are as plentifnl and as
vicious as the gamiest fisherman could possibly deBire. Fre-
quenters have made dug-outs — the easiest of fall-outs — so
that one part of the lake can be commanded by the enthusim-
tic angler.

It is an unfortunate fact, perhaps within the purview of
the Fish Commissioners, the suckers are capturing Kern
River. They gather at the mouths of its little|tributaries and
suck up the spawn of both trout and whitefish. It seems al-
most impossible in this river to destroy trout — and rarely
whitefish — by the use of giant powder. The moment a car-
tridge is thrown into a pool, the trout are off and away,but in
cases, hundreds of suckers are killed. When the air bladder
is ruptured — which is at least half the time— the fish sink to
the bottQin. Invariably the ribs are torn from the back-bone.
There are always internal proofs when a fish has been killed
by dynamite.

At 6 a. m. August 13th with two pack animals, one loaded
with three days rations, the other with the photographic out-
tit, seven of the band started up the final climb summitward .
The Chaplain made no effort to go, being well content to rest
at the lake. There were several parties camped near by,
among them a choice young lady and a desirouB young man.

Singularly, when it was announced that the Chaplain in-
tended to stay, the young man said "j guess I'll go," and he
went. Yet the Chaplain asserts that he hunted nothing but
small game throughout the trip.

Lunch time came at a delightful meadow where the best
fishing grounds of the whole trip were found. The river bed
for twenty-five miles courses due north and south, cuttiog
right through the very heart of the Sierras. Lofty mount-
ains.arise on either hand, and the trail which of necessity
hugs closely to the river bed, passes from one to auother
charming little flat densely timbered with living and almost
as heavily encumbered with fallen giants. The first ten
miles of the trail lies upon tbe west bank of the stream,
then comes a crossing, after which the east side is followed
until the laBt grand climb for the top of the peak. At 6,800
feet elevation after a fourteen miles trip, Camp Doubtful was
made for the nights' rest. Thero was uo effort for Bpeedy
travel, as constant temptation offered by the varying views
of beauty and grandeur kept the Pilgrims and the oamera
constantly ocoupied. There were numerous goodly sized
streams pouring into the river, most of them after a precip-
itous fall of 2000 feet or more down from the plateaux which
border the feet of the highest summits. And at night over-
towermg cliffs *o shrouded the heavens as to give tbe con-
stant impression that the party was in a region of clouds,
while in reality the night was ae clear aB a silver bell.

Mr. E.T.Allen at 416 Market Street, City, calls atten-
tion in the advertising column to a peculiarly excellent boot
for shooting wear, styled *'Cruising Boots". They are moc-

shaped lasts, are comfortable, enduring and neat in appear-
ance.

Petite Miss Annie Oakley has shot her way into recogni-

Messrs. John M. AdamB and Ramon E "Wilson shot on

throwing it and binding it with ropes. They now have have

it prisoner.

In New Zealand, where rabbits are a great pest, they are
poisoned by malt planted in furrows, as turnip seed would
be sown; they feed at dupk and early in tbe morning. In a

els of poisoned malt, on the Glen Erin estate, near Kyneton.

returned by the eight o'clock a.m. train without having
tired a shot. The docks have been scattered by the rains
and no sport is to be had anywhere. A cold snap is to be
wished if shooting is to be had.

BASE BALL.

The Boston-St- Louis Series— Securing Play-
ers for Next Season.

The long spell of wet weather has made itB influence felt
in baseball circles, and matters pertaining to tbe game are
exceedingly dull just at present. Sunday, if the grounds
are in condition. "Der Boss Manager's" far-famed Brown
Stockings will play the firrt of a series of seven games with
Boston at Haight street, and a good class of exhibition ball
may be looked for. So far, the trip of tbe latter has not been
as successful as was exp°cted, but still the attendance at the
games that have been played has been so large that genial
Jim Hart and his bean eating aggregation will not be out of
pocket even if they do not play another game in California.

The work of securing taWt for next season's clubs has not
yet been actively begun, and players in the California League
are on the anxious seat. So far. Finn has only signed two
players, Levy and Hanley. hot Stockwell, Shea and "White-
head c^n attach their names to contracts whenever they de-
sire. It is not certain whether Charlie Sweeney will be seen
in a 'Friseo uniform next season or not. "Pop" Swett has
got the Eastern fever and will join the Brotherhood — a bad
move, for even if the Bcbeme should succeed, which is highly
improbable, the youngster will soon find himself out of a
job. There is no use in longer concealing the fact that Swett
is not a ball player and never will be one. He can play very
nicely in a one Bided contest, but when it comes to coolness,
quick judgment and accuracy iu a tight place he is not there,
and that is just what goes to make a ball player. Swett is in
very speedy company in the California League and should
never aspire to higher championship.

Harris has not yet signed a player for bis San Jose team,
but it is generally understood that Tom Power will again act
as his Lieutenant. Of course, no better man conld be found
to captain a team, and the Garden City is to be envied in
having the "Anson of the coast" at tbe head of its players.
Harry Howard can go with Power if he cares to, and will
probably do so, as will also Ebright and Buckley.

The Sacramento Management h^s signed Zeigler, Good-
enough and Newbnrt, and holds Roberts in reserve. The
former leaves for the East in a few days to secure several
good men. «ud be promises to bring out none but pennant
winners. Extensive alterations are being made in the Sacra-
mento grounds, and it looks as though baseball would receive
a boom next season in the Capitol City.

The only man who has as yet signed an Oakland contract
is O'Neill, who will captain the team and play right field.
Stallings, LoDg and Doolev will probably follow his example
in a few days, while ;McDonald is undecided what to do.
Wehrle will go East, as will in all likelihood Coughlan und
Hardin, although Harris would like to secure the latter two.
Stockton, although promising to have a club in the field
when the seasoD opens, has not made any move towards se-
curing players. However. Shelly says he is going to wait un-
til the other clubs are made up and then he can get plentv
of good men at reasonable salaries — a good idea. The Slough
City does not care to begin another season with a team of
high-salaried stars, each of whom wants to ruu the club

Fresno will be organized in a few days and will have
plenty of money to engage a first-class team, which will be
done. Altogether, if tbe National League does not step in
and gather up all the good material, the "fans" on the coast
mav look for some good sport next'year.

This is Jim Hart's last year in baseball. On his return
East he will act as A. G. Spalding's private Secretary until
nest winter, when he will return to San Francisco and either
start a branch of Spalding's sporting goods house or go into
business for himself.

It is a pleasure to n^te that Kelly failed to induce Clark-
pon, Gauzell and Smith to go into the Brotherhood scheme.
These men will be drawing fat salaries when "Kell" and his
deluded companions are barred from playing in any league
in the countrv. There are bard times in store for the fol-
lower of the Brotherhood fake.

It is nhout time tbe Directors of tbe Haight-etreet Grounds
supplied decent accommodations for the members of the
press. The so-called box used at present by the press gang
is a wretched little affair tbat will not begin to hold all who
are entitled to seats in it. Give tbe boys a good place to re-
port the games. They have built up baseball in this city and
are entitled to the best that can be had.

THE KENNEL.

Dog owners are requested to send for publication the earliest possi-
ble notices of whelps, sales, nameB claimed, presentations and deaths-
In their kennels, in all instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

The Bloho Kennel-

Mr. A. B. Truman, owner of the Eloho Kennel, at M15
Steiner street, city, dropped into this office one day last week
with a half hour to spare, and the time was improved in
learning the methods which have made him so successful in
rearing setters and pointers. He has always had favorable
Biles for his kennel buildings, with exercising yard and all
conveniences, but even with such advantages some breeders
lose many pups.

Mr. Truman uses clean oat stiaw in abundance for bed-
ding, changing it week!}', and at each change he sprinkles
the bedding, fl oors aud the walls to a height of three feet with
a solution of phenyls, a tablespoonful of phenyle to a gallon
of water. The phenyle keeps the dogs free from fleaB and
also acts as a disinfectant.

Chloride of li:ne is scattered in all cracks and about the
buildings weekly.

The doos are fed at five o'clock each afternoon on corn
bread, cooked meat and scraps, and in eight years not a dog
has bean lost by distemper. He now has on band hiB Irish
setter champions Lady Elcho T and Mike T; two red setter
pups by the brace mentioned; Pat Elcho, a twenty-three
months old dog of the same breeding, and two pointers by
Rush T— Champion Patti Croxteth T, Cricket; Ciosteth and
Queen Croxteth.

The Elcho Kennel, at 1415 Steiner street, can be visited
any day from 7 to 10 a. m. and from 3 to 7 p m., and Mr.
Truman is alway6 pleased to show his dogs whether visitors
desire to purchase or not.

The gem of the kennel in a pointer ray, Champion Patti
Croxteth T., by Champion Croxteth— Champion Patti M.,
was not at home, being in the hands of Mr. George T. Alltn-
den to be prepared for the Held trials.

work combined with good sense. His range is defective, it
being irregnlar as is also his speed.

Miss Meally was not entittled to any consideration. She
ran in a very soft hearted manner when she did run. In
weeds or heavy grass she refused to range, not that she rang-
ed well af any time; and she had little bird sense withal.
Taking Fiirt's performance throughout the stake it was in-
comparably superior. There was no doubt of the mistake in
placing third dog; it was glaringly erroneous, and stands as
one of the few inexcusable mistakes of field trials.

The grounds were magnificent for the purpose o f trying
the dogs. There were large open field of stubble, sedge, and
ragweeds, sloping hills and flat upland afforded excellent op-
portunities to test the range, speed and bird sense of the
dogs, and there was sufficient cover here and there to test
them on the scattered birds. The club has excellent gounds
beyond question. Birds were not found in great numbers,
yet they were sufficiently plentitul to try thedogs thoroughly.
If birds are too plentiful they balk a thorough lest of a dog's
hunting qualities quite as much as if they are too scarce.

The town is excellently located for the purpose of a trial,
tho grounds beginning at the very outskirts of the town.
The hotel accommodation are excellent, no small matter in
affairs of this kind.

I.

The Central Field Trial Club's inaugural trial began with
the Derby on December 2nd, at Lexington, N. C.

The judges were Messrs. John Davidson, William Tallman
and X. Wallace. The system under which the dogs were rnn
and judged was a combined modification of b"th the heat and
spotting Bystems. The great advantages of the spotting sys-
tem were apparent to the experts who were present; but, un-
fortunately, the judges did not comprehend the Bystem or
did not apply it as it should be. Their judgment, as shown
in their selection of dogs to compete in the second series was
weakly erroneous.

The Setter Derby had eight starters. Out of the eight six
were considered good enough to remain in the competition
after the first series, whereas there were but three or four
that were worthy of consideration.

Rowdy Rod, the winner of the Eastern Field Trials Club's
Derby, justly won first, he being easily the best dog in the
stake.' Royal C and Sam C could have been left out very

It is a rank injustice to take palpably poor dogs into the
competilion after they have shown no merit in competing
for a place. It forces good dogs to do extra work, keeps
handlers and dogs in constant attendance unnecessarily, and
last but not least a poor dog may possibly come to the front
by giving him opportunities to run when he is not entitled
to them.

The quality of the work done in the Setter Derby was
very ordinary ; in fact, a great deal of it was poor.

The Pointer Derby, as a whole, contained as pure a lot of
duffers as ever ran in a public trial. Out of sixteen dogs
started there were bnt three which were entitled to any con-
sideration. The rest gave an elaborately wearisome exhibi-
tion of inefficiency in the first serieB and a large repetition of
it in the second. Such rare pottering and blundering have
rarely been seen; this, considering the stake as a whole. Re-
quiring that each heat shall be of an hour's duration is in-
correct, and in the running it developed some absurdities.
The merits of the dege having little merit could sometimes
be determined in a few minutes, yet the judges weie obliged
to run them a full hour, and the absurdity of running dogs
simply to kill time could be observed in several heats. It took
the greater part of five days to determine which were the best
in a to'al lot of twenty-four. It could have been accurately
determined in half the time.

After running through the first series of the Pointer Stake,
the judges selected eight dogs. It was said that the manage-
ment requested the judges to be as lenient aa possible in re-
tiring dogs from the competition. Whether this was so or
not (it was an improper request) the judges certainly were
lenient- but to be consistent they should have taken every
dog in the competition again, there being very little to choose
between them, if three be excepted. The subsequent run-
ning proved this conclusively; yet it proved no more that
was clear to any competent judge at the finish of the first
serieB. Miss Meally, F. F. V , Convex, Lady Hessen and
Met should have been retired with the others. It ib a great
injury to the developement of the pointer to have such dogs
run np in a competition ae if they had competitive merit
when indeed they have none, and thus the first trial of the
spotting system in a modified form may be said to be a fail-
ure 80 far as it relates to this stake; fcr it neither economiz-
ed i'n time nor added lo the accuracy of the jndging; never-
theless it was not from any inherent fault of the Bystem, but
from want of firmneES or judgmont in its application.

Some faultiness in the rules was also developed. Two dogs
owned by the same party came together in the final, and the
judges nnder the rules were required to run them one ho"r.
Under such circumstances the judgas should be able lo place
one of the brace without further running if they wish to do
bo there being but one ownership interest involved. By the
time the dogs run for first, the judges know quite thorough-
ly which dog iB the bolter and should not be required to go
through the firce of pretending they do not know.

Rip Bap really had no competitor worlhy of the name.
He so far outclassed all the others that first place was palpa-
blv his from the start.

This stake was Btarted immediately after luDch on Tues-

dog that showed sufficient merit to have a chance of remain-

The Executive Committee of the Pacific Coast Field Trial
Club, met on Monday last at the office of President Edwards,
and elected Messrs. W. C Nelson, of this city, Ike N. Al-
drich, of Marysville, and Hon. D. M. Pyle, of "Bakersfield, to
judge at the coming trials. Mr. Kelson is an old time trainer
from Trenton, Tenn., a good handler, a cool, experienced
judge and a fair man. Both Mr. Pyle and Mr. Aldrich have
judged at former trials and, are wt-11 known to those who
have entries. The judses are good, the grounds are good,
Bakersfield is the beau ideal of a trial center, and the com-
pany will be of the choicest. What more could be
asked ?

Not since the days wben Doctor Rowe reported field trials
in person, have the reports to the American Field been so
clear and critical as this year, as will be believed by all who
have read the excerpts re-published in this paper. This
week we present Mr. Waters' general views of the Central
Trials as sent to the Field.

Mr. Henry L. Borgwardt, of Bakersfield, was in the city
during the week, and gave most reassuring reports of the
progress of the new hotels in that town. There will be plenty
of accommodation for all who care to attend.

Judge C. N. Post, of Sacramento, Mr. J. S. Dunham, of
S'ocktnn, and Mr. J. M. Bassford Jr, cf Vacaville, Directors
of the Field Trials Clab, remained in San Francisco for several
days after the executive meeliug, calling upon friends and
"running field trials" at numerous luncheons and dinners.

Mr. Geo. T. Allender leaves for Bakersfield with ten dogs
on December 26th. He will run four or five, and it is prob-
able will, aa usual, have a cracker or two.

Mr. H. Pi. Brown, of this city, may claim to have bred the
largest pointer ever whelped, one of the pups by Scout Crox-
teth, out of his Donna Sensation, having grown into a hun-
dred-pound dog in field form. He is quick and able, how-
ever, and a good field performer.

The daintiest, prettiest sight looked upon in many a dav,
was seen at Profeesor J. F. B. McCIeery's residence, 410
Ellis Street, city, a few days ago. There were eight choicely
bred and very handsome pug puppies in a little inclosare,
runniDg about, tugging at one another and at the skirt of the
lady of the house, who proudly eshibitei the little pugs.
Prof. McCleery informs us that he is willing to part with
some of the dogs, and the opportunity is a most favorable
one for those who fancy the breed.

ROD.

Dynamiting Suckers.

In the exceedingly interesting description of a ohnibto the
top of that rarely ascended elevation, Mount Whitney, our
valued contributor, Mr. C. E. Sherman, makes a suggestion
which impresses ua as worth consideration by the Board of
Fish Commissioners and anglers. It is that in streams
where trout abound and where suckers and vile fish exist in
numbers and injure the better fish, the suckers be destroyed
by the use of explosives. That it is possible to drive every
trout from a pool without disturbing suckers, hard-mouths,
and other bottom fish, no oue of experience will doubt. In
fact, to use dynamite or giant powder successfully to destroy
trout, requires tbe utmost skill aud experience.!

The snekers and other coarse fish common to the trout
streams of the State are of no valae, and when it is considered
that they destroy countless trout, they may be considered
public nnisances, to abate which any means is justifiable
which threatens no harm to property or better fish.

The Board of Fish Commissioners might have experiments
made at some point where tbe ubb of explosives is nnt illegal,
and if it appears that the coarse fish can be e:
trout streams, the State law can easily be in-
permit the restricted ubo of the means best
end.

The P. C T. H- B. Association.

It is a hard matter to determine why the breeders of
the Pacific Coast pay such little attention to their very
best interests. There seems to be no unity of action in
anything they try to do, and this was more than notice-
able in the attendance that was present at the first an-
nual meeting of tho members of the P. C. T. H. B. A.
which was called for last Saturday evening, there not
being enough on hand to form a quorum. In all, so the
Secretary informs us, there are ninty-eight members,
and at least nine-tenths of these are bona fide breeders,
breeding the best of stock to get the best of prices. How
they can expect to keep up the public interest and find
purchasers for their gilt-edged foals is more than any
one can tell; that is, if they will be so dirilect to their
own duties as to stay away from the first annual meeting
of the Society. Many of the daily newspapers called the
trotting meeting a failure, whereas, taken from every
standpoint, it was undoubtedly the most successful first
attempt ever made by any association in America. Al-
though the official report has not been given to the mem-
bers as yet, we learn that the financial standing of the
Association is as follows: Receipts from all sources $13,-
360.40, while the expenditures amounted to $12,002.90,
leaving a surplus in the Treasurer's hands of 81,357.50.
Here we find a clear gain during the first eight or nine
months of the life of the Association, and in addition to
that, the public have become aware that the trials of
speed were, all of them, free from jobs, there being but
one attempt to deceive the public (and judges), and that
waB promptly corrected. "Wherever the next trotting
meeting is held there will be a large attendance, but to
insure a success the members must work together and
elect the very best men for Directors. The present Presi-
dent and Secretary have given of their time freely to-
ward the cause, and while occasionally it may have
worked a hardship to both, they have been the right
men in the right place, and their work is appreciated by
the members, as well as the public at large. Auothe1"
meeting of the members will be called for, presumedly
about the second week in January, when it is hoped that
every one whoso name is now on the books will be able
to answer the roll-call.

The Crack Two Year Olds.

The list of winning jockeys in England is led by Tom

Laates with 167 wins; G. Barrett follows with 128; Fred Bar-

n\% third, with 80, ADd J Watts fourth. 7S wins. Last year

7' red Barrett beaded the list with 108 winH, J. Watts 105 a

lose second; G. Barrett third, with 05, while Loat'es onlv

iad 53 wins. '

During a conversation at one of the horsemen's resorts
last Monday evening.Uie question came up, "What ib the
best two year old that ever ran?" Among a large num-
ber it is only natural that there should have been many
opinions. One, a gentleman well known on the English
turf, was persistant in his advocacy of the claims of
Donovan, the Duke of Portland's crack, but there were
too a- any Americans present, and he had to content him-
self with his own ideas, as the relative merits of George
Kinney, Hanover, Grenada, Tremont, Emporer of Nor-
folk, Barnes' El Rio Key and many other good ones
were discussed. The subject of debate caused au inquiry,
upon which it was discovered that there are only four
colts mentioned in the various guides which have cam-
paigned and remain unbeaten. The pride of place can.
with all due respect, be given to the California bred colt
El Pio Eey, as, although he has only won seven races,
still the weights he had to carry stamp him as the best
of tha four, by long odds. From the time he started in
his first race until the let up at Westchester his races and
winnings have been as follows: —
El Kio Ret.
St. Louis, June 11, 1889, Brewers' Stallion Stake, J mile, 118

WestcbeBter, N. Y., Oct. 2, Dunmow Stake, 2 mile, 112 pounds;

time 1:12£ 6.225

When a close comparison is made of the distances
weights and time between each of the four, it will be
aeen clearly to the unprejudiced observer that the Win-
ter's colt is far and away the best of the four unbeaten
two-year-olds. _^__-^_

Total amount won $46,8 6

The next best at the weights we find to be French
Park, who started off so well last year, but had to be let
up on account of "a leg," and although Mr. Gideon,
who bought him at the sale of the Morrissey Stable, has
tried all in his power to fit him for an appearance at the
post, the efforts have been unsuccessful. The following
are the winnings of

In the minds of many the greatest two-year -old ever
seen in this country was Tremont, and there is a good
basis for the decision, as the number of his wins are so
much larger than those of the other three, but still it
must be remembered that he was never tested but once
with anything like a severe penalty, and that was for the
Surf stakes, in which he only met a moderate field. In
this race a miserabla send-off was given, and Tremont
was almost left at the post, yet he had no difficulty in
winning with his seven pounds extra. The winnings of
the colt amounted to the following:

It was a frequent remark from 1879 until 1886, "We
will never see another Sensation," and he was a great
horse in the minds of the public during his year. Eight
times in all he started and his victories were mostly won
with perfeot ease as the time given for each race will
readily show. He was the pet of the Lorillard Stable,
and large amounts were won backing him, the stable
hands faring unusually well. The earrings of Sensation

The Washington Park Club.

Again we have to call the attention of the breeders of
thoroughbreds in this state to a new advestisement of the
Washington Park Club, Chicago. The liberal and ener-
getic management announce this week a number of new
stakes, entries for which will close on January 15th. Taken
with those of which mention have already been made
there will be over S110;000 given in added money to the
stakes and purses, during the racing season of 1890.
Twenty five days racing will be given altogether, and we
feel safe in sayiDg that the California Stables will be
largely represented during the coming season.

Names Claimed.

Some time ago I claimed the name of Antelope for my
threo year old colt, by Antevolo, dam Brownie H ; I now find
that the name Antelope is already claimed so I now claim
the name of Antevolo Jr. for the colt

I also claim the name of Hulda H. for blaok filly, one year
old, by Director, dam Brownie H.

STOCK FARM PROBLEMS.

1. Getting Mares With Foal.

Souther Farm, San Leandro, Dec, 1889.

More money is probably lost on stock farms through care-
less and improper ways of handling mares in the breeding
season than in any other part of the horse business — outside
of the pool box. In time this same pool box can and will be
knocked out — so that may be overlooked for the present.

Any one who reads the catalogues of the different breeding
establishments cannot but notice the large percentage, year
by year, of barren mares. The Souther Farm may some year
take its share of this general misfortune, but my experience
for the past two years woold seem to show that an intelligent
system carefully followed out will reduce the Iosb from bar-
renness in mares to very small proportions.

In the Beason of 188S I bred fourteen mares to the Souther
Farm stallions Figaro and Jester D. Thirteen out of these
fourteen produced foals in 1889 — six out of seven bred to Fig-
aro, and all those bred to Jester D. One of the mares bred to
the latter prodaced twins, which died; all the others are
now at the farm and are doing well— twelve foals of 1839 from
fourteen mares bred in 1888.

The results of the past season of 1889 promise to be
equally satisfactory. There are now on the farm twenty-eight
mares — mostly my own — that were bred to Figaro and Jester
D. last spring. Up to the last week or two I believed every
oiid ot them to be with foal, but I am beginning to have my
doubts about two of the older mares, and it is perfectly pos-
sible that I mav be mistaken in the case of one or two oth-
ers, although I have little doubt but what there will be
during the coming season at least twenty-five or six foals from
the twenty-eight mares. The above figures do not count
in the mares sent from the different parts of the State which
are now at the homes of their owners, although most of those
that I have heard from are reported in the foal.

This is the system followed: The season begins on or
about the 10th of February, when all mares bred for the first
time or any not with foal are tried. Twice a week thereafter
— absolutely nothing must be allowed to interfere with this
work — they are tried until one is found in season. One ser-
vice is generally given, although if a stallion is not bus}' the
mare may be bred two or even three times on successive days.
A stallion should not be required to serve a mare more than
once in a day except on unusual occasions, and the fewer of
those the better, if the owner expects to have much pride in
the produce of his horse.

When a mare has been bred she is not tried again for seven
or eight dayB, but for three months thereafter she is tried
regularly twice a week. The best plan is to set apart two
afternoons a week for this work, dividing the time as evenly
as possible; and let nothing short of an engulfing earth-
quake or a funeral interfeie with it.

MareB sometimes refuse the horse for two months and over,
eren when tried faithfully twice a week, and then come in
season again. Under the plan of only trving a mare once in
three weeks, the getting of a colt is a lottery of the most un-
certain kind. A glance at the Souther Farm record book will
show that many mares come in season at exceedingly irreg-
ular periods: and as it may be said to be impossible for a
mare to come in season and go out again in less than four or
five days, the Bystem of two regular trials each week will
prevent their escaping notice when in season.

Mares that have foaled differ considerably in the number of
days that go by before they will receive the horse. The
ninth day is generally given as the most favorable time for
stinting, and is probably ahout the average length of time, al-
though 1 have seen mares bred hack as early as seven and as
late as fourteen days. The be ^t plan ig to begin trying i .
about the seventh day and try every day thereafter until the
mare is found in season and bred; then skip one day and
stint again on the following day if the mare is still in seasoo.
Try again nine days after the first breeding and twice a week
thereafter un'il the mare again comes in or until the end of
the season. Eegularity in this in the secret of success.

The good fortune of this farm is the more noticeable from
the fact that many of its broodmareB are well along in years.
Puss by Kentucky Hunter, dam of Haverly (pacer), 2:25,
will be twenty-four vears old this coming spring, and is Bafe
in foal to Figaro. Probably five or six of the mares that are
Bafe in foal have lived on an average from eighteen to twenty
summers, and goodness only knows how many winters.

I have found a proper arrangement of paddooks and other
coaveniences of great service; these will be described in an-
other article if the above proves to be of interest to the read-
ers of the Breeder and Sportsman. Gilbert Tompkins.

Paciner Blood Again.

I

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — In your issne of
December 7th, Mr. Harry W. Peck, an able, entertaining and
outspoken writer, who is not afraid to express novel theories
on the breeding of trotters, while scolding everybody in
Bight, does me the honor of not over-looking without a pass-
ing breath of displeasure, something that I have written.
From the way he strikes out, one might thiok that he gradu-
ated from Donnybrook, where tbe first principle inculcated
is, "Wherever yon see a head, hit it."

Judged by these ''short stories," as he designates them, in
every one of which is an arrangement of some one, I might
be jnstified in applying to him the judgment he visits upjn
one of his "victims," and say that "His chief characteristic is
antagonism to everybody else." But this wonld be unchar-
itable if not unjust, as his former articles have been free
from captious criticism, and are admirable for their freedom
from prejodke, which is a vice and weekness of so many that
write on horse subjects.

In impartially over-hauling me with the rest, whose short
comings have disturbed his equanimity, he Bays: "There
seems to be an almost univeisal opinion prevalent that Pilot
Jr , sire of dam ot Maud S. and Jay-Eye-See, as well as some
thiny more trotters, was a pacer. Dr. Hicks takes 'Falls-
town' to task for abusirjg paciDg blood. The Doctor says
Broadhead, Mr. Alasander's snptrintendent, boasts that he
was 'ioyal' to Pilot pacing blood when the great breeders held
it as trash, aud can now point with pride to Maud S., Jay-
Eye-See, Nutwood and others, in justification of his judg-
ment. Now I have no antipathy against the pacers or the
pacing cross, but neither Mr. Broadhead nor anyone else can
convict Pilot Jr. of being a pacer."

I am aware, as I suppose every moderately well-iufomed
breeder is, that Pilot Jr. was not a pac> r, bat his eire was,
and his maiemal grandam was. and every intelligent breeder,
whatever he may think of pacing blood in a general way,
knows that abaolntt-ly all of the known speed inheritance,
at the "intermediate" gait that Maud S. got from her dam,
came frohl her dam's pacing grandsire old Pilot, and her pac-
ing great graodam Nancj' Taylor.

It is surely nnneeesFarv to repeat that pacing and trotting
are essentially the same gait, and that speed at one gait begets
speed at the other.

It may be owing to my natural dullness, or because I have
not yet mastered the "science" of breeding, but I confess
that when two lines are brought together, one line of which
produces fast trotting speed independently of the other, and
the other liue never products tiottiug speed independently,
and the result of this niatiog is a fust trotter (as H some-
times will be). How any one can attribute the speed to tbe
line that never prodvue.-, it, is beyond my comprehension.
In speaking of a pacing crosB, let it be understood that the
individual used for the cross need not necessarily pace. A,
strong pacing inheritance, although the individual may trot,
is equally valuable. The speed giving power ie not lost in
one remove, or ten.

History teacheB us that the pacer was trained for speed at
his way of going, and was raced a hundred or more years
before the trotter was.

Science teaches us the laws of heredity, and that acquired
habits are transmitted as well as natural instincts. May it
not be that this longer line of trained habit or inheritance of
the pacer will account for his giving greater speed and with
more certainty than the trotter? If this is conceded, and it
is certainly plausible, it will be apparent that his greater
prepotency is not on account of his gait, bat on account of
his longer line of trained inheritance, of which his gait is
only the proof. ThiB will explain a suggestion that I made
before, that it is not 'necessary that the individuals mated, or
either o£ them, should have the latteral gait, provided their
ancestors wcra strongly pacing bred.

When the trotter shall have undergone as maoy genera-
tions of training as the pacer has, I shall expect him lo get
speed with as great certainty, but until ho has (which will
not be in my time), or until tbe records show a different
state of facts from what they do at present, I shall continue
to use the pacing cross on the best and oldest trotting lines.
I do not (as has been broadly intimated) advocate pacing
blood because I have got it, but I get it because I profoundly
believe in it.

It used to be thought that if a horse or mare, particularly
tbe latter, were individually so worthless that they were tit
for nothing else, they would "do to breed." There are some
who have not yet quite emancipated themselves from this
error, especially if they are called "well bred."

While I shah not presume to teach the art of breeding — how
to in-breed, out-cross, mate individuals, or instruct in form,
gait, and the multitude of min >r matters that really consti-
tute the "science" of breeding — yet I may be excused for
calling the attention of those who have given the subject
even less attention than myself, to a matter in wnich even
thoughtful and well informed persons are liable, under the
excitement of a "boom," to make mistakes.

I regard the Wilkes family as one of the very best trotting
families yet before the people. (I am not inconsistent in this
expression of partiality for" the Wilkes family, for they, too,
have the foundation pacing cross), but I would suggest for
the consideration of those who are going wild over Wilkes
blood, and paying fancy prices for it for breeding purposeB,
that there aie weeds in every family.

If compelled to a choice, I would rather have, for stock
purposes, an animal that was better than his breeding, but
whose breeding was but second class, than to have an ani-
mal not a* good as his breeding, but whose breeding was first
class. Ooe, from possessing great nerve force, vitality and
individuality, is advancing, while the other, from lack of
these qualities, is retrograding. We see where tbia retro-
gression will lead in the case of nearly five hundred of the
sons of the great Hambletonian, who have entirely fallen out
of sight.

It is easier to breed a great race horse than a great stock
horse. A great stock horse will leave many great performers,
but not many great producers. Nor is good breeding and
great performance always a guarantee of a successful stock
horse. We have here in our State three or four great race
horses who are almost total failures as producers of speed.

As I have reoently been reminded that "comparisons are
odious," I wish to declaim any individions intentions in
naming the Wilkes family to illustrate my point. It is equally
true of the Nutwoods, Kentucky Princes, Electioneers, or
any other family of trotters whoso reputation has become so
great that breeders are tempted to sell the worthless as well
as ihe meritorious for stock purposes. It is perhaps asking
too much of human nature to expeot breeders to geld colts,
that as stalliona will sell at one year old for two, three or
more thousands, which as gelding would not briDg more than
two hundred; and I foar there will always be speculators
upon public credulity who will buy these fashionable weeds,
knowing them to be such, but trusting to the reputation of
the good ones of the family to give them two or three years

of profitable business before their worthlessnees is found out.
What is true of stallions is equally true of mares. It would
have been better for the reputation of Hambletonian, and
vastly better for the breeding interests of tbe country, if
nine-tenths of his bous had been geMed, and what is true of
him will be true of his most popular decendants. My advice
to an inexperienced breeder would be, select your family and
then breed to a proved producer if you can.

"A pair of trotting-bred mares can do the same work as a
Peroheron team would be required to do on an ordinary
farm," says a late writer, "and do it much quicker; aud when
yon want to drive to the post-office you can do it in a self-
respecting wav, as you can when you go to church or else-
where with a team of standald-bred trotters. You can also
find much pleasant employments during the long winter
months trainine your colts, taking muoh time with them
that would otherwise be waisted."

THE FARM.

Pacific Coast Shorthorn Breeders' Associa-
tion-

Daring the last State Fair, held in Sacramento, a meeting
was called by several of the principal breeders in the Slate
who had in view the formation of an association for the bene-
fit of Shorthorn breeders, and to increase the interest taken
in that old established pure breed of cattle. Judge Bridge-
ford was appointed temporary president, and Ed. Younger
seoretary. A committee was formed to draw up the By-laws
and report at the first annual meeting on December 11th.

On Saturday last the annual meeting was held in the
Golden Eagle, Sacramento. Judge Bridgeford took the chair
and Secretary Younger called the roll. The members of the
association are: Judge Bridgeford, Hon. John Boggs, Colusa;
E3. Younger and 0. Younger, San Jose; P. H. Murphy, Per-
kins; ft. J. Merkley, Sacramento; P. S. Chiles and J. F.
Chiles, Davisville; P. Peterson, Sites; E. S. Driver, Autelope;
Heilbron Brothers, Sacramento; J. Marzen. Lovelocks, Nev.;
S. E. Camp, Perkins; L. J. Bryant, Reno, Nev.; P. Everilt,
Oakland; and W. H Coward, Woodland.

Messrs. C, Younger, Bryson Merkley and P. Everitt were
Dot present.

The Committee on By-Laws presented their report, aod
after some discussion was aocepted in a slightly amended
form.

The By-Laws at present are:

AbtiCle 1.— Pacific Coast Shorthorn Breeder's Association.

2. Tue object of this association shall be to disseminate
information concerning the breeding and management of
Shorthorns; to enconrage improvement in the breeding of
animals; to promote the general welfare of the Shorthorn
interest.

3. Any person engaged in the breedinsof registered Short-
horns in Nevada. Oregon, Washington, California or Arizona
may, by a majority vote, become a member of this associa-
tion by subscribing to the articles of the association and
paying a membership fee of S5.

4. The officers of thiB association shall be a president,
vice-president, treasurer and a board of directors. The board
of directors shall consist of president, vice-president, secre-
tary, and three members of this association, which three
members shall be elected at the regalar annual meeting of
the association The officers shall be elected at the first reg-
ular meeting of each year which shall be held at Sacramento,
on Tuesday of the last week of the California State Fair.

5 The President shall preside at all meetings of the asso-
ciation ani Board of Directors and perform tue duties pertain-
ing to the office. In his absenceithe vice-president shall act in
his place.

6. The Secretary shall collect all moneys dne the associa-
tion and shall immedia'dy pay to the Treasurer, taking his
receipt therefore. He shall keep a correct record of all pro-
ceedings of this association, and of the Board of Directors.
Treasurer's duties shall be to keep a true and correct account
of all funds batween the assoc-ation and each member there-
of, to safely keep all moneys belonging to the association and
pay the same ont only on warrants duly signed by the secre-
tary and counter-signed by ths President.

7. A majority of the Board of Directors shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business, but no vote for the
appropriation or expenditure of nvmey by the Board of Di-
rectors shall be legal unless concurred in by three members
of the board.

8. The funds of this association shall be obtained by a per
capita assessment la /ied by the Board of Directors and not
to exceed $5 per annum.

9. Any member may be expelled from this association for
conduct disreputable, as a breeder of Shorthorns, or for fail-
ure for sixty days to pay assessment or other dues, by a vote
of seventy-five per cent, of the members present at any reg-
ular meeting.

10. The members present at any regular meeting shall be
not less than seven to constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business.

11. These articles of association may be amended at any
regnlar meeting by a vote of seventy five per cent of the mem-
bers present.

The officers of the association were next elected, Judge
Bridgeford being unanimously voted President; A. Heilbron,
Vice-President; J.F. Chiles, Secretary, P. Peterson, Treasurer
Directors, J. Marzen, P. S. Chiles and El. Younger who to-
gether with the President and Secretary constitute the Exe-
cutive Committee.

P. H. Murphy suggested the holding of a nubile sale once
or twice a year under the auspices of the association, and in-
troduced a resolution to that end. He said that the advan-
tages of the sale would te that breeders of short-horn cattle
would each offer stock, and in that way all ages of short-
horns would be represented. The sale would cause boyers
to come from various parts of the country.

After a long discussion the members present agreed to offer
a sufficient number of cattle to warrant a Dubliosale. The re-
solutions as below were then adopted:

Rwolved. That the first public sale of purebred Short-horn
cattle take plac3 under the directions and rules of this asso-
ciation, on Wednesday March 5, 1890 at Agricultural Park,
Sacramento: said sale to be advertised and arrangements
made t>y officers of this association.

Resolved. That where a public sale has been culled by this
association, any member having cattle to offer at such sale
must fir-tt send in a list of the animals to the Secretary forty
days before said sale, that they may be properly classed and
advertised, and all the expenses of such sale shall be paid out
of th« gross receipts of such sale.

President Bridgeford presented an address to the State
Argicultural Society which waB read and a committee was
formed of Messrs. Heibron, Murpby and Chiles to present the
address and at the same time to comitute a committee to do
their best to procure better accommodations for Shorthorns
an! if possible have them altogether.

The address reads-

To the Board of Directors of the State Agricultural Socie-
ty'of the State of California. The breeders and exhibitors
of Shortboro catiie respectfully ask your Houorable Board
i»f Directors to consider the advisability of increasing in the
near future the value of the premiums offered this most wor-
thy class of cattle. We do not desire to make comparison
■ith other classes of cattle further than this: You will find
■y reference to ycur reoords of former years that the unm-
ber and quality of Shorthorn cattle have far exceeded Hny

other class of cattle. The exhibits of other classes of cattle
have generally not been extensive, and the premiums given
have fairly oompensa'ed tho owners for the expense and
trouble; but the exhibits of Shorthorns have been so numer-
ous and so extensive that large division has been the result
aod no one has been sufficiently compensated.

There is no one class of stock that has been added in the
past or probably will in the future add more to your exhibit
than the Shorthorns.

This coast is now attracting widespread attention on ac
count of her fine horses. She is producing the beat horses
the world affords. The East is sending to our shore aod pay-
ing large prices for California-bred -horses. We have the
climate and all proper conditions to raise the best cattle in
the world There is no reason why we caonot excel not on-
lv any other portion of America, but Europe as well. All that
i's reqnired is to arouse a proper interest. This can be ac-
complished by no other means so well as through proper en-
couragement at the hands of your Bociety.

We respactfully suggest that an increase of 100 per cent,
over the premium list of 18S9 would not be extravagant.
The experience of fairs in the Eastern States warrants it.

Let California be behind in nothing.

Eespectfully submitted.

On Mr. Youngers's motion the same committee were au-
thorized to wait on the State Fair Association in regard to
offering prizes for fat stock.

President Bridgeford in an able mannerpointed out the ad-
vantage that would be received from feeding a herd of Short-
horns and taking them through the East, tbuB showing that j
in Shorthorns as in every class of thoroughbred horses
California was facile princeps, a good deal of discussion on
the matter ensued and probably in two be three years time
the President's idea will be realized for it will take at least
two years constant jjreparation and feeding to fit cattle for
the show ring.

The meeting was adjourned after a vote of thanks to the
acting President and Secretary had been passed.

Distribution of Horse Values-

Data furnished by the Department of Agriculture show
that horses possess a greater individual value in the states of
Massachusetts, Ehode Island, New Jersey and Delaware than
in any other part of the Union Following these come
Maine, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland.
Michigan, Minnesota, Dakota, South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida. The following States occupy a middle ground,
their horses being of about an average value: Ohio, Indiana.
Illinois, Wisconsin. Iowa. Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia,
West Virginia, North Carolina, Mississippi,, Alabama, Neb-
raska, Kansas, Colorado, Washington, New Hampshire and
Vermont. Next in order come Missouri, Arkansas, Louis-
iana, Monlana, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, California,
and Arizona. And the horses of Texap, New Mexico and
Utah are of less average value than those of any other por-
tion of the country.

Judging Horses at Fairs.

An exchange Bays: The first place in which the Scale of
Points was put to a practical test in the show ring was at the
great Danbury Fair in 1S55, where it was applied by Mr.
Wallace himself, assisted by Mr. Joseph M. Ives and Mr. J.
G. Davis, and such satisfaction did it give that it has ever
since been retained as the method of judging at this great
fair, every year growing in popularity and giving greater sat-
isfaction as its merits become more widely known. "So suc-
cessful was that teat," says Mr. Leslie E. Macleod. "that the
horses have not only ever since been judged systematically at
Danbury, but the scale has been applied and adopted at great
fairs East and West, North and South— in Pennsylvania,
New York, Virginia, North Carolina, Delaware, Rhode Is-
land. Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, the Canadian Prov-
inces, and in the Western States." This year the managers
of the fair— so pleased have they been with the results of the
scale in previous years — determined to take another Btep in
advance, and decide the merits of the trotting bred horBes
by the one-judge plan. The judge selected was Mr. Leslie
E Macleod, of Wallace's Monthly, who had assisted in ap-
plying the scale on Beveral occasions previously at the same
fair, and it is needless to say that he gave entire satisfaction,
and the results of his labors in this line afford strong argu-
ment in favor of the single-judge plan of judging horses.
Me. Mcleod, in reviewing the fair, sums up the advantages
of the single judge system about as follows: A great
saving in time and promptness in despatching the work
in hand; no division or shirking of responsibility or chang-
ing it lo otber shoulders; no excusing errors on the ground
that "the other judges did it;" more scrupulous care in the
making of awards; no hurrying through the work in care-
less and shipshape manner, but greater care, thus ensur-
ing the greatest good to the greatest number. There are a
great many other reasons in addition to those given by Mr.
Macleod for the adoption of this plan, which we hope to see
tried in" the provinces next season. A great step in advance
was made when the Scale of PointB was adopted at Beveral of
the provincial shows, nnd we hope to see it followed at no
distant date by the adoption of the single judge system, ad-
ministered in each class by experts. Let standard horses be
judged by a specialist in that class, and Clydesdales, Shires,
Percherons and other classes by experts in those particular
lines. In this way greater satisfaction will be given both the
exhibitor and the public, and the greatest good to the great-
est number ensured.

Lord Wolseley's brother, Mr. Frederick Y. Wolseley, an
Australian squatter, is said to be making a fortune out of the
sheep shearing machine which he has invented.

There are more of the "all purpose" qualities in a sheep
than in any other single animal. Good mutton, good wool,
good breeding qualities, including ample milk for the young,
can all be found under one pelt.

A large amount of cattle have been shipped from Santa
Margarita lately, Gen. P. W. Murphy sending some excep-
tionally fine cattle.

Last year the Argentine Republic shipped 5' 4 5 000 tons of
grain to Europe, This year it will BODd 2,500,000 tons. The
Government is at present assisting immigration. It pays
the passages of all immigrants from the coast to their destin-
ation in the interior.

The experiment station at the University of Illinois is in-
vestigating the disease of cattle known as milk sickness. It
is supposed to be caused by eating a plant of the genus eup-
alorium. In the last two weeks rabbits have been fed on it,
and three of them died, and now a calf is being fed on the
plant.

The Argentine Republic is booming its agricultnral ro-
sources. It now has 105,000,000 sheep, as compared with
85,000,000 in the seven Australasian colonies. It has a large
wool clip this year, the number of sheep heing twenty per
cent, greater than two years ago, and the breeds much im-
proved. It is expected that it will export as much wool this
year as Australia. In 1886 there were 729,766 horned cattle
in Paraguay. The greater part of these were imported from
the Argentine provinces and Brazil. Formerly this was the
leading indnstry, and Paragnav has undoubtedly great na-
tural advantages as a cittle-breeding country. It is conceded
that the climate is too hot for sheep, of which it is estimated
there are only 32,350 in the country. The recuperation in
the cattle industry has been quite remarkable considering
that out of the large numb' r of stock in the rountry before
the war, not more than 15,000 were left in 1870.

The heaviest animal in the Chicago Fat Stock Show this
year is Jubilee Breastplate, owned by J. B. Sherman, of the
Stock YardB, Chicago. This steer is about three-fourths
Shorthorn and one-fourth Hereford, and was born December
3, 1884, making him nearly five-years old. He weighs 2,660
poundp, and since his birth has made a net average gain of
a small fraction less than H pounds per day for the entire
period. The present ownership has lasted aboat three years,
and the steer has been fed chiefly on ground oats and corn,
about equal parts, in addition to the usual quantity of hay
hay and grass during the summer months; also a portion of
about a quart of ground oil cake (crushed after the oil was
expressed) has been given him every day for some time past.
He came originally from Dubuque, Iowa, in a car load of
beef cattle, and was selected and kept by his present owner
on account of his big frame. This exhihitor shows a dozen
other steers of less average weight. The second prize was
taken by W. H. Renick, Clintonville, Ky,, Baby Mine. Short-
horn, 1361 days, 2515 pounds. The third by J. J. Hill, St.
Paul, Minn., Monroe, Aberdeen-Angus, 142.6 days. 2415
pounds.

It is said that the Ontario Department of Agricultural is
busily collecting information regarding the swine industry
from all parts of the United States which will be issued in
form of a bulletin. The object of this will be to encourage
farmers to adopt the American system of grazing, instead of
the present process of feeding them at the pen. From the
amount of pork imported and the unlimited" opportunity of
an export trade, there appears to be room for developing the
industjy. The value of hogs and products imported is over
a million dollars.

' For calf feeding oats stand at the head of the list of grains
says Prof. Henry. When the calf is two weeks old, after ht
has drunk the milk from the pail, the feeder should slip a
a pint of oats into bis mouth just at the time when the little
fellow is loosing anxiously around for something to suok.
At firBt he spits the oats out getting rid of them as quickly as
possible, but after a few trials he finds the flavor satisfactory,
and that it is better to retain the oats, masticate and swallow
them and then have uothiog to do. A little shallow feed-
box should be placed in front of each calf, and in this the
oats should be dropped. At first only a couple of table-
spoonfalls should be supplied, when the calf is twelve weeks
old, and getting twenty pounds of milk daily, he will eat
from one to two pounds daily of oats.

Ground squirrels have 1 ecome such a nuisance in Alameda
County that when the Board of Supervisors met at their
last meetirjg Supervisor Martin inirodoced a resolution de-
claring E street, Haywards, a public .highway in Eien town-
ship, the same to be known as County road No. 2548.
Adopted.

The following ordinance was introduced by Supervisor
Bailey:

An ordinance to provide for the extermination and de-
struction of ground squirrels in the County of Alameda,
State of California.

The Board of Supervisors of the County of Alameda do
ordain as follows:

Section 1. Cround squirrels infesting lands in the County
of Alameda are hereby declared a nuisance.

Sec. 2. All owners and occupants of land within the
County of Alameda are hereby required within ninety days
after the taking effect of this ordinance to exterminate and
destroy the ground squirrels on their respective lands and
thereafter keep said landH free and clear therefrom.

Sec 3. Any person violating any of the provisions of this
ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.

ROY WILKES, 2:12 3-4.

THE MOST CONSISTENT PACING STALLION IN THE WOKLD. THE CHAMPION OF THE PACING BRIGADE.

This week we add another to the long list of portraits is-
sued by the Breeder and Sportsman, and it is with pardon-
able pride that we point to the exceedingly fine picture of
Roy Wilkes, 2:12$, the beat of the free-for-all pacing class
that contended last Beason on the "big circoit." His owner,
Mr. L. A. Davies, has bronght Roy Wilkes to California, and
he is located at Pleasanton Stock Farm, where he will stand
during the season of 1390, bnt at the same time Mr. Davies
is prepared to match him against any pacer or trotter owned
west of the Missouri River for any reasonable amount. The
match can be made to take place over any, race courRe within
a hundred miles of San Francisco, and as there has been a
great deal of bantering among the owners of pacers, it is
about time that some of them should come to the front [and

test the merits of Roy Wilkes, particularly as Mr. Davies is
eager to match his horse.

Roy Wilkes is seal-brown, J5| hands high, six years old,
and weighs 1,050 pounds. He is by Adrian Wilkes 6560.
Adrian Wilkes is by George Wilkes, dam Nellie B (dam of
Ira Wilkes, 2:2S trotting and 2:22jJ pacing, and Mike Wilkes,
2:15$), by Harry Patchen (Kirtly's), son of George M. Patch-
en 30; second dam Sophie, by Edwin Forrest 49, etc. The
dam of Roy Wilkes is Flora (by Blue Bull 75; second, third
and fourth dams thoronghbred). Roy Wilkes came to his
speed early, and as a four-year-old he achieved a ncord of
2:20$. At Cedar Rapidd, Iowa, on June 22, 1S87, he won
second money in the 2:35 pacing class. The conflict was a
keen one, and resulted in a battle of six heats. For the firBt

heat thirteen responded to the tap of the bell, and the heat
was won by Billy the Kid in 2:24$, with Duplex second and
Roy third. In the second heat Roy went to the front and
won the heat in 2:24$, with Billy the Kid second and Duplex
third. The third and fourth heats were won by Duplex in
2.25^ and 2:28£, Roy being second in each beat. The fifth
heat was won by Roy in 2:29$, Duplex winning the sixth
heat in 2:29£. In this contest he was first in two heats, sec*
ond in three heats, and third in one heat. This was a re-
markable performance for so young a horse. At Marshall-
town, Iowa, on June 29th, in the 2:35 clasp, he again bad to
play second fiddle to Duplex. There were nine Btai ! i

he won the first, and second heats in 2:25$ and 2:!
winning the next three heats in 2:20}, 2.23 ami

%h& gmte awd ^pxrrtsmatt.

Dec 28

September 7th, at Rochester, Minn., he won the 2.20 class in
straight heats, in 2:21, 2:22 and 2:21. On September 16th, at
Hamline, Minn., he started in the free-for-all class, but
failed to get a place. Daring that season lie paced under
the name of Roy, bnt there being a trotter of that name, it
was decided to chaDge his name to Roy Wilkes.

Under his new name, on Jane 14, 1888, lie opened the
aeason at Iowa Citv in the free-for-all class. His only oppo-
nent was Toledo Girl, which won the first heat in 2:22, Roy
Wilkes winning the next three in 2:26, 2:23 and 2:24. At
Marshalltown, Iowa (half mile track), he won the free-for-all
in the first, third and fourth heats, in 2:19, 2:tSi and 2:13|.
Jewett won the second heat in 2:21$. On July 3rd be paced
at Hamline, Minn., in the 2:20 class, winning it (in the rain
and mud) in straight beats. The time was 2:17*. 2:18* and
2:2H, and he had behind him JohDny Woods, Dr. M. and
Dr. West, in the order named. At Pittsburg, Pa , he met a
good field in the 2:17 class, and waB defeated by Duplex in
the tbird, fourth and seventh heats, in 2:174, 2:21* and 2:25.
The first heat was won by Cbailie Friel in 2:22£. Roy
Wilkes wnn the second heat in 2:20, and Harry Z. won the
fifth and sixth heats in 2:20$ and 2:24. Tliis was in the
mud, Roy fighting the field. At the meeting of the
Northwestern Association of Trotting Horse Breeders, held
at Washington Park, he competed in the 2:17 class, bnt
failed to win a heat. At Hartford, Conn., on September 7th,
he was entered in the Insurance Stake ($4,800), and under
the able guidance of John E. Turner, ho won this rich stake
in the second, third and fourth heats, in 2:15$. 2:17£ and
2:17. The first heat was won by Emma in 2:16J. The other
starters were Elmonarch, Lady Wilkins, Allen Maid, Balsora
Wilkes, Hy Wilkes, Bessemer, Doctor M,, Johnny Woods,
Joe Jefferson and Harry Z. At Springfield, Mass., on Sep-
tember 14th, he won the 2:17 class in straight heats in 2:184,
2:16£ and 2:18. His greatest triumph was in the last meet-
ing of the Grand Circuit, which was held at Fleetwood Park,
New York. Roy Wilkes was entered in the 2:18 pacing
class, his opponents being Allen Maid (2:16*), Ed. Annan
(2:164), Ulster Belle (2:154), Balsora WilkeB (2:17$), and El-
monarch (2:17$). In the first heat he took the lead and kept
it to the wire, winning easily by three lengths in 2:15£. Al-
len Maid was sent for the second beat, , but Roy Wilkes
was saved for the next heat. Allen Maid won the
heat in 2:16*. The third heat was one of those memorable
contests which will live in turf history. Allen Maid led to the
quarter in 32 seconds, with Ed Annan second, and Roy
tbird. But at this point Roy broke (after being interfered
with) and fell back ten lengths, and appeared to be out of the
race. Allen Maid did not let the grass grow under her feet,
and she passed the half mile pole in 1:04. The third quarter
at Fleetwood is an up-grade, and the Maid was eased a little,
when suddenly a horse shot by her as if she was standing
Btill. It was Roy WilkeB, and he led at the three-quarter
mile pole in 1:39 (some watches made it 1:37 — ). He won
with something to spare in 2:144. In the fourth heat he took
the lead and kept it, winning the heat in 2:15. These heats
are not only the fastest heals ever paced by a Jive-year -old stal-
lion, but they cast into the shade all previous records made
on the Feetwood track.

During the season just passed he has stamped himself as
the very best of the pacing stallions on the circuit, his fight
ing finishes, being the cause of favorable comment from all
who witnessed them. His first appearance for the year was
at Detroit, where only three of the celebrities came to the
wire, there being Roy Wilkes, Gossip Jr. and Silver Thread.
The fame of Roy had preceded him, and the betting was $25
on the stallion to $8 on the field. Gossip Jr. won the two
first heats in an easy manner, Roy showing plainly that he
was short of work, in fact Mr. Davies admitted that the horse
had been doing stud service until July Gth and between that
time and the day of the race, July 25th he bad only been
worked three miles, one in 2:25, one in 2:20 and the last in
2:17- However, the third and fourth heats of the race he
won easily, when the deoidiDg heat was postpoted until next
day. In the four first heats the owner drove, but on the 26th
when the horses were rung up John Dickerson was up be-
hind the Btallicn and it was only after a hard tussel that he
won the deciding heat and first money in the remarkable
time of 2:14$, thus reducing Roy wilkes record a quarter of
a second.

From Detroit the horses was taken to Cleveland where he
met the pick of the pacers of the country Brown Hal.
2:12J, Bessemer, 2:13J, GosBip Jr., 2:13$, Jewett, 2:14,
and the subject of our sketch were the contestants. On this
ocoasion Dickeison again drove Roy Wilkes, and for a
considerable time he was a favorite in the pools.

The first heat fell to Jewett, Roy Wilkes taking the
aecond in 2:13, while the third fell to Brown Hal, time 2:12**
Roy being beaten only a very short nose. The excite,
ment at this point beggars description, the betting talent
were all at sea, and thero was no telling what the out-
come would be. The fifth heat fell to Roy in 2:153, he prov-
ing himself one of the gameat horses that ever looked through
a bridle. The combined energies of the four other drivers
were now directed toward beating nim, and the four hard
heats began to tell, but Roy gallantly responded and fought
out the fifth heat with Brown Hal, but broke when about one
hundred yards from the wire and to get second place was the
best he could do. The last was a remarkable heat. At the
start Brown Hal broke and was seven lengths behind Jewett
tit the quarter with Roy Wilkes in the centre: At the half
Hoy Wilkes has close 1 up to within two lengths of Jewett and
Brown IIul within three lengths of him. Closer and closer

Hal kept creeping. Rounding into the stretch he left Jewett
who could not keep up the clip any longer and set sail after
Roy Wilkes. The sod of Adrian Wilkes was a sure winner
when within eight lengths of the finish, but unfortunately
for his admiring friends, after going for every heat Dickerson
lost his head, struok Roy with the whip and up he went,
and the crack Tennessee horse whizzed under the wire a
nose the winner. Jewett third.

At Buffalo the Kings of the pacing class again met, aud to
their number was added Lady Wilkin under the able general-
Roy captured the two first heats, the second one being
paced in 2:13|. Gossip Jr. captured the next two, while
Jewett managed to take the fifth. Roy took the sixth and
last heat in 2:15.

We next find the giants at Rochester, where the field con-
sisted of Gossip Jr., Roy Wilkes, Jewett, Silver Thread and
Lady Wilkins. It was really a case of Greek meet Greek, and
it was a tug of war, but the fates were against Roy at the
Flour City, aud he could not win. The Rochester water ef-
fected him somewhat, and he was a sick horse when the race
was called. Notwithstanding his trouble, he managed to se-
oure the first and second heats, Jewett fighting him in both
every inch of the way. The strain was too much for the
gallant sod of Adrian WilkeB, however, and he had to lower
his colors; still he made a magnificent finish in each of the
last three heats, and it was only physical weakness that
caused him to lose.

Poughkeepsie was the next place on the circuit for the pa-
cers to meet, the starters beiDg Gossip Jr., Jewett, Silver
Thread and Roy Wilkes. Notwithstanding his defeat at
Rochester, Roy Wilkes waa made favorite over the field at
$100 to $30, the horse having recovered from his trouble.
Roy was an easy victor, taking the first, third and fourth
heats in 2:18J, 2:16 and 2:14. We next find them at Hart-
ord, and the story of the race is graphically told by the
Spirit of the Times in the following manner: The pro-
gramme opened with the free-for-all pace, with Roy Wilkes
at $50, field $50. He did not win in straight heats, as was
expected. Jewett led in the first heat, with Wilcox in second
place to the upper distance. Roy Wilkes and Gossip Jr.
made frequent breaks along the backstretch, but mended
their place when the homeward way was reached. The sUl_
jion was rank and pulled a ton. At the 150 distance stand he
passed Wilcox with Gossip Jr., Jewett beating the stallion
two lengths in 2:16$. For the second heat Roy sold at $50
against $65 for the field. At DavieB' request, McCarthy took
his place behind the stallion. "Knap" found he had a hand-
ful when his charge broke on the turn, but steadied him to
the backstretch, when he again broke. Jewett kept the lead
he secured at the tend off to the head of the stretch. There
Gossip Jr. nailed the black fellow and beat him out over a
length in 2:l4f with Roy at Jewett's wheel. For the tbird
heat Gossip sold even with the field. Jewett led Go.- sip two
lengths at the quarter, with Roy lapped on Gossip's wheel.
At the half Roy was in second place at Jewett's head. Jewett
fell back, leaving Roy and Gossip at hammerand tougB to the
homtstretch. There GoBsip declined further argument and
Jewett took up the chase, Roy beating him home two lengths
in 2:12J. The heat was finished with a reserve. Had Roy
been forced out, the 2:12* of Brown Hal would nurely have
been beaten. When McCarthy alighted from the sulky, he
said the horse could have gone three seconds faster.

The betting was now $50 to $16 on Roy. Roy
passed Jewett on the backstretch, leading him two lengths
at the half, and Gossip three lengths at the third quarter.
GosBip broke on the homestretch, letting Jewett in, while
Roy finishecKwith two lengths to spare in 2.17 on a jog. Id
the next heat Roy led Jewett fonr lengths at the half, with
Wilcox in hot pursuit, catting down Roy's lead to two
lengths at the tbirJ quarter. Gters made one of his charac-
teristic rushes from the distance stand, Roy capturing the
heat by a half length in 2:14f .

At the Springfield meeting the same story waa repeated,
Roy won tue first, third and fourth heats, but Gen. Tamer
with his peculiar style of doing business, made the judges
believe that Gossip Jr. could have won the last heat if Roy
had only got out of the way, and the intelligent judgeB gave
the fourth heat to GosBip, necessitating a fifth heat. Roy
would not be denied and paced away from his field with a
vim that precluded any more fouling, winning as he pleased
in 2:14.

There was not a person who saw the performance but
what was fully satisfied that Roy won the race twice; hew-
ever, he proved his stoutness of heart and endnriog courage
by wioning the concluding heat in the easiest of mannerB.
The great beauty of the horse is that he could repeat as
maoy times as he was called on, and while the other Bide,
wheelers were willing to cry enough, he showed himself a
perfect glutton for work, aud seemingly could never get
enough of it.

Several exhibitions through Ohio were given and then the
s'allion was taken to Lexiugton, where he started againstBes
Bemer aud Pickaway. Bessemer won the two first heatB in 2:16$
and 2:15|, but the clip was too much for him and Roy Wilke.j
had no difficulty in winning the Dext three in 2:15$, 2:17Jand
2:20. It will thus be seen that Roy haB proved victor in
seven out of nine contests thiB year, and without doubt has
proved himself the \ery best pacing stallion that ever wore
iron. Roy Wilkes will Btaud during the coming season at
Pleasanton Stuck Farm, where a limited number of approved
mares will be served. All information will be supplied by
L. A. Davies, Hotel Pleasanton, Sntter and Jones streets
Sanrraooitcn. The pedigree of Roy Wilkes for six Genera-
tions is as follows:

FUTURITY STAKE.

4'losci.IAM'AKV 1st, 1890-

A Short Time for Work.

The recent heavy and continuous rain'all has so delayed
and hindered farming work that all are behind as compared
with other seasons at this period. It will be some time yet
before the ground is in fit condition for plowing or seeding.
Such ground has beoome so saturated, and in mauv instances
submerged, that it will need re-sowiDg, while plowed lands
have become so packed from the incessant rains as to need
re- plow ing.

Considering the lateness of the season, the saving of time
is a very important consideration to farmers. Now the ground
must be stirred up. and the question is, Which is the quickest
way of effectively doing it?

Plowing, without question, would be the best, but that
meats mnch additional expense and slow work. Admitting
thiB, the next point is, which is the best and quickest substi-
tute for plowing?

There is no donbtbut a spring tooth harrow loosens np
the soil better than any other implement, a plow excepted.
In the present condition of affairs it strikes us the advantage
in favor of the harrow must he apparent to all . Au eight or
ten mule or horse team that draws a gang plow cutting from
four to six feet can with great ease draw a spring tooth har-
row cutting from twelve to sixteen feet. This is an impor-
tant point when time is limited, and the greater anion ut of
ground that can be covered in the same time is considered.

This brings us to the consideration of the harrow point
itself, and while there may be several varieties, one that is
well made, durable and reasonable in price must commend
itself to pnblic favor just now.

The Stevens Steel Spring Tooth Harrow, manufactured by
D. M. Osborne & Co., Bluxome street, San Francisco, and
illustrated on another page of this paper, possesses all these
essential requirements. The frame is corrugated steel, the
teeth beine secured to the top of the frame by malleable iron
holders. It has arched frame behind the teeth, to prevent
clogeing and insuring light draft, li works well in all soils
and all conditions of ground; it adapts itself to any formation
of ground by being hinged in the center, there being a varie-
ty of sizes — seven in all — the largebt cutting eight feet; where
a wider cut is desired two can be coupled iogether.

For orchard and vineyard work this harrow has a steering
rudder attachment, giviDg the driver perftct control in guid-
ing it close to the trees or vines without striking them.

I use Simmonp Liver Regulator for my stock, horses and
mules; it is the best medicine I know of. In oases of colic
in stock it will save them if given in time. .Recommend it.
— R. V, Cox. Haddock's Sta., M. & A. R. R.

For grubB in horses Simmons Liver Regulator Is the best
remedy I have found; it has saved many horses and mules
for me. Use my name as yon wish in praise of the Regula-
tor.—W. A. Cheery, Macon, Ga.

DIRECTOR, 2:17-

OWNED BY PLEASANTON STOCK FAEil CO.

We present to the readers of the Bbeedee and Spobtsmas
this week, a picture and pen sketoh of Director, the "Black
Tornado" of the Eastern Circuit of 1SS3. who this past season
was nwarded the §200 Gold Medal, offered by the State Agri-
cultural Society in 1896, to the sire whose get should make
the best average performance in races for trotting foals, two,
three and four-year-olds in 18S7, '88. '89, over snch competi-
tors as Electioneer. Le Grande, Hawthorne, Gay Wilkes, Sul-
tan, Anteeo and Jim Mnlvenna.

What makes this award more remarkable is the fact that
Director had hut two performers to win him the honors, and
if these failed there wai no further sifting out or picking over
fifteen or tweniy trotting performers to build up his reputa-
tion and secnre him the much sought for prize.

Director is a bla?k stallion, twelve years old, stands 15
hands, 2 inches high, weighs 1120 Its., very long and mus-
cular built, and when one looks over this great horse he can
easily account for his game trotting reputation, heavy mus-
cled over the loius, powerful forearm, while the muscles of
his hind 'egs stand out like whip cords, very long from the
point nf the hip to the point of the hock, and comparatively
short from th6 hoes, to the pastern. A clear, sharp eye.
large expansive forehead, (by a-tual measurement nine inches
between the eyes acros3 the forehead) and small, well-shaped
ears. His disposition is of the very best, a characteristic
which he imparts to all his foals. His appended pedigree
can I e studied by a sludent of trotting horse br-eding for
moults and with every day's looking over new points can be
discovered in connection with the breeding problem.

Dictator, the sire of Director, was the sire of the three earn-
est trotters ever produce 1 by one sire. Jay Eye See 2:10,
Phallas 2:13}. and Director 2:17. Rysdyk's Hambletonian,
the sire of Dictator, was the sire of three in the 2:20 list.
Clara, the dam of Dictator, was the dam of Dexter 2:17}, her
sire. Seely's American Star, being the Bire of the dams o£ six
2:20 performers.

Dollv. the dam of Director, is also the dam of Thorndale
2:22}, Onward. 2:251, and Czarina 2:27*. thus being Ihe dam
offonr 2:30 performers, all from different sires. Her sire,
Mambrino Chief, was the sire of two 2:20 performers. It is
easily seen that Director comes honestly with his speed and
staving qualities.

Director's trotting career commenced in 1880 as a three
year old, when he started in two races, winning both. In
1881 he started in three, winning one. In 1882 in Eve. win-
ning foor. and in 18S3 he was sent East, making his memo-
rial'oampaign of fifteen races, winning eleven.

A tabulated statement of his races and amounts won is as
follows: —

Totals 25 15 7 $25,075

This is more money than was ever won by any Bingle trot-
ting horse in the world.
Beginning as a three year old in 1880 he started and won

the only two events in which he was entered, getting a rec-
ord the very first race of 2:40, trotting the last quarter in 34
seconds, a 2:16 gait. In 1831 be trotted in three races, loos-
ing two, and was shipped to California in the fall. The next
season, aa a five year old, he trottted in the California circuit.
He came out with more speed than ever, and showed the
speed and gameness which have since made him famous.
Beginning at Senta Eosa, he was third to Echora and Del
Sur in good time, but the race was jnst what he needed to
get him in trim for he won a succession of races without a
single defeat from then on. At Oakland, Sept. Sth, he won
the 2:25 parse over a field of seven competitors, and four
days later, at Sacramento, he defeated a field of nine. He
then went to Stockton, winning the following week, and the
next successive week winning again at San Jose. He then
went home, as no horse would trot against him.

His career in 18S3, as a six-year-old horse, was a marvel-
lous one. Shipped East in May he commenced hiB trotting
there. At Pittsburg, on the first day of June, he won the 2:22
class in 2:26, 2:28, 226, after the first two heats had been
taken by Hambletonian Bashaw in 2:25, 2:25}. He then
went to Hartford where he met a strong field Dan Smith
won the first and third heats in 2:22}, 2:22,, Walnut the sec-
ond in 2:212-, and when the others were ready to quit Direc-
tor began and won the fourth, fifth and Bixth heats in 2:22}.
2:22, 2:22}.

The week following at Fleetwood Park, he met the horse,
Joe Bunker, who had not neen beaten a race for over a year;
Joe Banker winning in 2:19j, 2:20, 2:19}, Director winning
the third heat in 2:22.

At Albany, Director won in straight heats in 2:22i, 2:23J,
2:22, an 1 the following week at Washington, he beat four
competitors a split, beat race in 2:25}. 2:28}. 2:28}. He then
went to Chicago, where he started down the Grand Circuit
Summer Meetings. His first race at that place was the 2;23
class.

Gladiator won the first heat in 2:23}, and Director then
went on and won the race in 2:24}, 2:20. 2;22j. Four days
later at the same place he entered the great free-for-all stal-
lion race, having for opponents such well known campaign-
ers B3 Black Clond 2;17}, Monroe Chief 2:1S}, Santa Clans
2:17}. and Alexander 2:19.

Monroe Chief was a hot favorite, the track being anVle
deep with mud, and he was known to be a good performer
under such circumstances. Director won the first heat in
2:191, Monroe Chief the second in 2:20, and Director the
third and fourth in 2:22}, 2:26}.

Then came the great race of Director's lifo the week fol-
lowing, over the Cleveland track, one which io point of mer-
it has never been equalled by any trotter. Ther* were four
Btarters, Director, Wilson, Gladiator and Kate McCa'l, then
the fastest in the country. Before a heat had been trotted,
it was known that th* drivers of the other three horses bad
pooled issues and made a combination to b°at Director. Di-
rector won the first heat in 2:19}. Wilson became settled by
this heat and the fight then began, three against one. The
Blae Bull horse, Gladiator, was a horse of immense speed
for a short distance, while Director was a little slow to get

' off. Gladiator could thus take the pole and carry Director
out to the fence and allow the other two horses to get on the
inside of them, so it will be seen that Director had to trot

I aronnd both turns on the outside of three horses. What
disadvantage this means, when trotting asainst a horse that
makes a record of 2:16} in this very race, can be readily ap-
preciated, even by a non-professional.

But in spite of all Director won. The second heat he could
not get clear of the pocket until the homestretch was reached,
and a desperate straggle ensued down the finish, the outcome

, being a dead heat io 2:17.

The third heat was another battle between the black stal-
lion and the three combination, and with his helpers, Wilson
was able to beat Dirertor to the wire in 2:16}, but he had
nothing to spare as Director was at the saddle girth at the
finish.

The fourth heat they went at the black horse again, and
kept him in a pocket until Wilson got a good lead, but it did
not avail him for Director cnt down his lead by inches in

J the homestretch, beating Wilsou out a length in 2:17}.

The fifth heat fell to Wilson in 2:18 after an exciting strug-

I gle. Each horse had now two heats, and as Gladiator nor

i Kate McCall neither had one they were obliged to go to the

! stable. This left only Director and Wilson, and as the latter
had lost his helpers and was thoroughly played oat, Director
jnst played with him, winning in a x-aik in 2:28}. and only
the generosity of Director's driver allowed Wilson to save
his distance.

This race at once caused Director to be crowned king of
all game trotting stallions, but there were other even greater
triumphs in store for him. At Buffalo, the next week, he
started in an exhibition race, with Jay-Eye-See and Clemmie
G., taking second place in the race. At Utica, he easily de-
feated the fast stallion Duquesue 2:17}, in straight heats, and
at Spring6eld was beaten in a race with Wilson, Witherspoon
and EdwiD Thorn.

Then came the great turf event of the vear. At Hartford
the first Charter Oak 510,000 purse and the field that opposed
him was without question the best and fastest (all combined)
that ever fnced a starter even to this dav. As it consisted of
Wilson 2:16}. Fanny Witherspoon 2:17, Clemmie G. 217
Director 2:17, Phallas 2:13}. J. B. Thomas 2:1S}, Adele
Gould 2;19 and Overman 2:20}. (a field of eight sorters whose
average records were 2:17}) with snob drivers as Mace, Splan,
Turner and Hickok, to oppose him. Johnny G <ldsmith who
drove Director bad a hard race on hi« hands. Again was the
combination made. Again was Wilson ihe favorite, and
again did Director down them, combination, horses and all.
The Turf, Field and Farm of that date thus describes the
race.

The first heat fell to Wilson in 2:17}. Witherspoon second,
and Director third. Witherspoon won the second in 2:17*
and Director fourth; bnt in the third heat the Black tornado
painted to the daylight whioh was breaking in the east for

i him. He got off well and was never headed, winning in 2:20.
Fanny Witherspoon made a bad break on the firs

j Splan laid her up. Wilson indulging in severs.:
finished up very fast, Phallas being second,

and Wilson fourth. The situation was now full of interest
and perplexity. More cotton was stuffed into the ears of
Fanny Witherspoon as ehe was wild in such company. Her
owner and her driver said that it was not the purse but the
glory ot winning in such company.

Director was very industrious. Directly tbe word waB given
and Witherspoon, making a jim town, barely saved the dis-
grace of beiug distanced, the game Black comma down the
homestretch wonderfully fresh and won handily in 2.18,
Clemmie G. second and Wilson third. The Btory ends with
the fi'th heat. Director showed the way from the start to the
finish, winning in 2.191, Witherspoon coming at him very
game, but not being able to outlast the son of Dictator and

The week following he started ai Providence against a very
strong field of six, and after Forest Patchen had won the first
heat in 2:19£, Director won the next three and race in 2:19$,
2:19* and 2720.

The week following, fit Boston, he was defeated by his halt
brother Phallas, but a week later turned the tables on him
and won after Phallas had won the first and second heats.
This olosed his racing career, he having started fifteen times
against the fastest horses in the country, and won eleven
times.

One of the most celebrated horse writers of the times said
of Director, after thiB season's work, "Director is among
trotters what Lexington was among runners."

The Spirit of the Times says, after his Hertford raoe, "W.
H. Crawford made some thoughtful observations after this
race. Said he, 'Some horses are hitchers and rough gaited,
horses who will go buck, jump, hop and change feet. They
go just as long as their breeding and strength enables them
to struggle against the waste of power and tire hopelessly in
a race or run and rest themselves. Give me the true moving,
even gaited, level headed, tireless stroke and resolute going
Director to beat all other kinds, even if they are a second or
two faster.' "

It was your red letter day Director, free from cloud or smoke.
When yon threw down George Wilkes' great son on dear old Charter

Oak;
Yon bad to fiRut, you had to trot, but never did you break,
And with speed and game and Goldsmith's reinB, you smashed the
talents' slate.

As will be seen by reading the foregoing description of his
races, Director's great trotting reputation can be accounted
for by his gameuess. Being able to beat horses whose records
have been below or faster than his by his untiring finishes
down the stretch in each and every heat, being able to start
in his races and wear his competitors out by his untiring,
steady, friotionleBS gait, being just as ready aid just as
fresh in the fourth, fifth and sixth heats, as in the first, sec-
ond and third, and it is a remarkable fact that of all the
races he ever won, but three were won in three straight heats.
And it is only fair to estimate Director's speed as faBt as any
living stallion, &a he beat Maxey Cobb, Fanny Witherspoon,
Wilson, Phallas, Clemmie G , J, B. Thomas, and Adele
Gonld, not only once but every time he started against them
from spring till fall. They all went on training the following
seasons and every one lowered their record below Director
while he was in the stud. It is not necessary to describe his
trotting action or gait. No horse could trot the races against
saoh fields of horses and win almost every time as Director
did, unless his action was nearly perfect. He didn't know
how to break and this he imparts to his colts, for out of 30
heats trotted by Direct he never made a break, and out of 25
trotted by Margaret S , but one skip can be scored against
her.

After finishing this season's trotting he returned to Califor-
nia, the next two seasons, 18S4 and 1S85, being in the stud
in tbiB State. In 18S6 and I8S7 he went back to Kentucky,
where he was in the stud. He returned to California in the
fall of 1887, and has been in the stud in 1888 and 1889,
Btanding at Pleasanton during the season of 1888. He was
entered in the National Stallion race and was being given his
preporatory work during and after the stud season, bat met
with an accident, wrenching his shoulder which laid him up
and prevented his starting. He had shown a mile over the
training track in his work some two weeks previous to the
accident in 2:18, and had shown enough to see that he had
all his old time speed, and his owner and many admirers
were greatly disappointed in the unfortunate accident which
prevented his starting in the race.

And now as to his oapacity to breed on or transmit his
speed and game qualities to his offspring. As his first sea-
son in the stud was in 18S4. his oolts are but four years old
this past season. Direct. 2:181 *8 therefore a representative
of his oldest colts; as a three year old he trotled in Bix races,
getting a record of 2:23; as a four year old he trotted in eight
races, containing 29 heats, winning 21 in 2:18J, one in 2:18J,
one in 2:191, six in 2:19^, one in 2:20, one in 2:2CM, one in
2:211, and one in 2:21J, and no four year old ever trotted as
many fast heats as Direot and finished up the season per-
fectly sound.

Margaret S. was foaled in 18SG, and is therefore a repre-
sentative of Director's second crop of colts. As a two year
old Bhe trottedjin three races, getting a record of 2:31; As a
three year old she trotted in eight races, containing 28 heats
getting a record of 2:191 *D tne ^;30 class race at Saoraniento'
whioh race, in connection with the others trotted by her the
past Beason, gives her the record of being the gamest three
year old campaigner of this year, and it is said by tne best
jadges of trotting horses that she is the fastest, gamest and
best three year old ever produced, taking into consideration
that she waB a late fall colt, lacking some six or seven months
of being as old as other three year olds, which means a great
handicap on a colt. It can pafely be said that counting age by
monthB, that Margaret S. is the fastest three-year-old trotter
that ever lived.

And while Director can claim the credit of being the sire of
the gamest three year old campaigner that ever lived, he can
also claim the credit of being the only trotting stallion (with
or without a record below 2:20). nlive or dead, who has two
trotting representatives in the 2:20 list, with his oldest colta
but four yearn old.

A onrious coincidence in connection with Director and his
great three year old performer is the fact that he won his
first great race which bronght him into notoriety as a game
race performer, over the Cleveland traok in 1883, and during
linn past season his giinio daughtor Margaret s. weut back
East to struggle for supremacy with the crack three year olds
of the East, winning the Spirits great Futurity stake, over
the same track that wus the scene of her sires great perform-
inoe six years previous. Another coincidence is the fact fiat
Director won the first Charter Oak $10,000 purse offered, and
his daughter Margaret S. won the first Spirit Futurity Stakes
offered. Director's other performers within the charmed cir-
cle is "Guide" who trotted this past season as a 3 year old
and obtaineda record of 2:28). He has two or three more
very close up and a muall number in training, a large major-
ity of which will trot better than 2:20 baring accidents.

DuriDg the Dast two BeaBons Director has been bred to
some of the best bred mares in the state, and what the pro-
duce amounts to will be closely scrutinzed by Ms admirers,
and the present indications are that Director will be the sire
of more 2:20 performers than any stallion the world has ever
seen.

He is the propertv of the Pleasanton Stock Farm Co., of
which that well known trotting turf gentleman, Mr. M, Salis-
bury, is the Manager.

Director's breeding is as follows:

Our Australian Letter-

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The Cup Meeting, the
meeting of all meetings in Australia, duly eventuated this
month at Flemington, near Melbourne, Victoria, with its
usual brilliant success. The first race of note, the Melbourne
Slakes, a mile and a quarter at weight for ege, brought
out all the kings of the Australian turf and resulted in a
grand contest. The starters were Abercorn, 5 years, Melos, 4
years; Carbine, 4 years; Chicago, 6 years; Cardigan, aged;
Newmaster, 6 years; Benzon, 4 yearB. Antaeus, 3 years, and
Sinecure, 3 years. The betting was even money on the
people's idol, Abercorn, 3 to 1 Carbine, 5 to 1 that beautiful
colt, Antaeus, by Sir Modred, and 10 to 20 to 1 the others
The interest in the race was almost painful in its intensity.
Abercorn and Carbine,the respective champions of New South
"Wales and New Zealand, entered the straight on level terms,
and then commenced one of the grandest struggles ever Been
on a course. Neck and neck came the pair amidst the yellB
of the tens of thousands of spectators, and all the efforts of
Hales and O'Brien, the respective accomplished riders of the
pair, failed to separate them. Carbine was the brst to get a
small advantage, but Abercon was not to be denied, and
lengthening his stride, pokel his nose in front. Again the
erstwhile Champion Carbine made an effort, but Abercorn
was able to respond, and, bar accidents, it was concluded
he must win. It was not till the leaders were within thirty
lengths or bo of the cost that it was thought another horse
had a say in the matter, and then Melos came like a flash and
gained every stride on the struggling pair. When challenged
by the new comer Carbine failed, but Abercorn was not to be
denied, and won a great race by a noBe from Melos, who was
a head in front of Carbine. Time 2 minutes 7 seconds, the
fastest on record (in Australia. — Ed.)

Of the placed horses in a previous letter I gave you some
account of the great Abercorn, but he is well wortb talking
about, bo later on I will give him a par all to himself.
The second horse, Melos, is by Goldsbrough from Melody ,
and is owned by that unlucky sportsman Mr. William Gan-
non, who recently disposed of the clinking Australian Peer,
by Darebin, to Mr. Eiles for Btud purposes. Mr. Gannon
has run enough secondB to break an ordinary man's heart.
Carbine is by the d«funct champion sire, Musket, and until
displaced by Abercorn proved himself the champion of the
colonies. And by the way, it is a curious coincidence that
pretty near all the Musket stock named after eooie weapon
Buch as Marlini-,-Henry. Carbine and Nordenfeldt, have
turned out better than their kinspeople who were not so
christened.

Eight horses pported silk for the Viotoria Derby, the win-
ner turning up in the Hon. James White's Dreadnought, an
aristocratic colt by Cheater from the imported mare Trafalgar
by Blair Athol (Derby winner 1S64) from Mosquito, from
Toxopbilite, grandam by West Australian from Brown Bees
by Camel Kichlieu, although interfered with at one portion
of the race by Rudolph, ran the winner very closely, and it
was thought by many that had it been bo desired Rudolph
could have secured pride of place. Rudolph is a speedy
geldiug by Mr. White's sire Martini — Henry, and in another
race at the same meeting another horse of Mr. White's was
without a doubt not persevered with, as it was evidently Mr.
White's wish to win with his favorite Abercorn. It was for
the Canterbury Plate, a 2£ mile weight for age race, for which
the cracks Abercorn, Melos, Carbine and a second horse of
White's called Sinecure started. Sinecure was allowed to
steal away, the three big guns watching one another until
Sinecure, when only half a mile from home, must have had
lully 60 lengths to the good. The trio then went in pursuit,
Abi-rcora outstaying his companions and paas'Dg Sin oare,
but there cannot be much doubt, had tbe latter been ridden
right out, it was the next thing to an equine impossibility for
Abercorn to have overtaken him. In the old days we had a
rule here allowing an owner, when running two horses in a
raoe, to declare to win with one or the other if able to do so,
but the rule now reads that the best horse must win, and

there cannot be much doubt, had Mr. White been a less in-
flential person than he is, he would have had to explain mat-
ters before the Committee of the Victoria Racing Club. The
Maribyrnong Plate, the crack two-year-old race, five fur-
longs, for sweepstake of 30 sovs each with 1,000 sovs and a
hundred guinea cup, brought out 16 infants, Correzo starting
at level money on the strength of his list of wins id New
South Wales, he being looked upon as the speediest colt of
his year. But the great gun was unable to run into a place,
and The Admiral by Richmond, dam Footstep, won from
Mr. White's Utter by Martini Henry, dam Uralla.

Twenty horses sported silk for the great event the Mel-
bourne Cup, and the clever people connected with Bravo
made a big coup by winning from Carbine, Melos, as per usu-
al, running into a place. In running in the CaultieldCup a
couple of weeks previously, Bravo was said to have injured
himself, and was at once taken away to Ballarat, where he
was seen by day being led about bandaged up and with a per-
ceptible limp, and sensational wagers were laid thathewould
not even face the starter. It now comes out that Bravo was
at the time sound as a bell and was doing his gallops by the
pale light of the moon, and when Cup day arrived Bravo did
his preliminary in tbe pink of condition, to the dismay of
the bookmakers, who had taken such liberties with him.
Bravo is by Grand Flaneur, a hurBe which retired to the stud
with an unbroken list of victories including suoh raceB as
the Sydney Derb>, the Victorian Derby and Melbourne Cup.

As the horses were marshalled for the Btart, Melos, Blue-
nose and Carbine were on the inside, Singapore, Benzon,
Oakleigh, Bravo and Prince Consort in the centre, sdcI Ru-
dolph and Pakeha on the outside. Mr. Watson let the flag
fall without much delay. Knight of the Garter was one of
the first to get on his legs. Singapore, Richelieu, Melos,
Oakleigh, Prince Consort and Chetwynd also getting quickly
into play. At tbe straight proper Prince Consort took up
the running with Carrington, Rndolpb, Oakleigh and Riche-
lieu next, the last being Tinlander, Benzon and Cardigan.
Ab they swept past the distance post Carrington supplanted
Prince CoDsort, and then came Richelieu, Pakeha, Rudolph,
Melos, Knight of the Garter, ADtfeus. Chetwynd, Oakleigh,
Dnnkeld, Bravo and Singapore, with Chicago, Cardigan and
Bluenose in the rear. The order paBsing the stand was Car-
rington in front, attended by Prince Consort, Rudolph, Rich-
elieu, Pakeha, Knight of the Garter, Oakleigh, Dunkeld,
Bravo, Melos, Chetwynd and Singapore, the last three being
Tinlander, Cardigan and Bluenose. Carrington had a two
lengths lead ont of the Btraight from Prince Consort, close to
whom v as Richelieu, and then came Pakeha. Knight of the
Garter, Dunkeld, Chetwynd, Melos, Bravo and Carbine, with
Cardigan and Bluenose still in the rear. Carrington htill
made the pace along the river Bide, attended by Prince Con-
sort, Rudolph, Melos, Dnnkeld, Chetwynd, Kiohelieu, Chi-
cago, Carbine and Bravo in a bunch, and Bluenose tailing off.
Carrington was still cutting out tbe running at the bridge,
Prince Cinsort beiug close up, and theu following Melos,
Antasub, Richalieu, Dnnkeld, Bravo, Chetwynd and Pakeha in
tbe order named. Carbine, Tinlander, Cardigan aDd Blue-
nose were in tbe rear.

At tbe abbatoirB, Carrington was in front of Dunkeld, who
had moved forward to Becond place; tbe most prominent of
the others being Rudolph, Antaaus, Singapore, Richelieu,
Prince Consort, Menotti, Chetwynd, Bravo and Melos. As they
came into the Btraight, Carbine got up on the inside with a
brilliant run, and when fairly set for home he was seen to be
leading, with Chicago on the ontside next, acd Prince Con-
sort, Melos, Bravo, Dunkeld, Rudolph and Antieos the most
prominent of theothers. Thevictory of Carbine and Chicago
was being alternately shouted, when the yellow and black
jacket of Bravo became prominent, and bofore the distance
was reached he was in front, with Carbine, Prince Consort,
Melos and Chicago next, the latter commencing; to fall back.
The race was now virtually over, as Anwin kept Bravo going,
and never allowing anything to come near him, won as he
liked by a good length from Carbine, who finished very
gamely. Melos made a fast run at the finish, but Sravo and
Carbine carried too many guns for him, and he finished a
length behind tne second horse. Pakeha also made a fine
run, and was a good fourth, followed by Prince Consort,
Chicago, Cardigan, Dunkeld, Menotti, Rudolph, Autasus and
Carrington, the last being Singapore, Knight of the Garter,
Benzon, Oakleigh, Tinlander and Bluenose. Time, 3:32£.

But perhaps the race of the big meeting which will moRfc
intercut you "Yanks," was that for the Spring Stakes when
Antaeus by Sir Modred from Nellie, ghowed he had something
more to recommend him than being one of the handsomest
colts on the Australian turf, by winning by half a length
from Meteor and a good field, running the mile and a quar-
ter in 2 minutes, 9} seconds, with 8 sione, 2 lb. up.

And now for a finish I will give you a few jottings respect-
ing our champion, Abercorn. He ran the last mile and a
quarter of the Canterbury Plate in 2 minutes, 51 seconds a
wonderful performance truly. He has won 2"l out of 35
races; he stirted for and has netted his owner the handsome
sum of £12,324, which is tbe ohampion record of any Aus-
tralian horse. Our crack jockey, Hales, is the only man who
has crossed him in a race. Abercorn, like his two half
brothers now in England, is a bright chestnut, and that thev
may rtsembleiu more than color their mighty kinsman is
the devout wish of all Australia, including, Yours humbly,

_ _- _ "The Jctngle."

SIDNEY, 2:19 3^:.

PROPERTY OF VALEXSIN STOCK FARM.

'

In presentiDg to oar readers the picture of the famous
young stallion, Sidney, we will not go over the well kDown
facts that he is as perfectly bred a trottiDg stallion as there is
in America; nor that he has proved himself a phenomenally
prepotent sire, being at eight years of age, in bia colthood, so
to say, the progenitor of very fast yonng performers. But
that his progeny, as far as has been teen, go early, train on
to still more speed with age, and are campaigners of first-class
order, as should be expected from a grandson of the great
Volunteer, the "PeerleBS Sire of Campaigners."

Of Sidney's colts the oldest are four years, and the follow-
ing, of different ages, have faced the starter: —

Goldleaf, 3 years old 2:15; 4 years old 2:11*.

Adonis, 3 years old 2:14^; 4 years old 2:14.

Longwortb, 4 years old 2:19.

Sister V., 4 years old 2;27.

Fleet, 1 year old 2:36; 2 years old 2:24.

Fanstino, 1 year old 2:35, fastest stallion on record.

Memo, 2 years old 2:49; 3 year old trial 2:20J.

George V., 1 year old 2:57}; 2 year old trial, J mile track,

2:35.

We will review their performances and let facts prove our
statements.

Goldleaf, as a three year old,from August 6 to October 6th,
started in eleven races, almost always against old horses, won
first money in six, second money in three, third money in
two. Winning nineteen heats of an average of 2:20, and pac-
ing twenty-seven heats in thirty days; closing her campaign
perfectly sound, with a record of 2:15, made in a winning race
of three heats.

As a four year old she appears again on the track, after
having been driven only two heats better than 2:20 in her
work up to that time, and starts against her own record of
2:15, reducing it to 2:11}, last £ in 32} seconds. This fast
mile without the necessary preparation was very severe on
the filly, and she got off. Notwithstanding this faot, she
came out at Petalama and beat Adonis in 2:18, 2:1 6 J, 2:16;
three very fast heats for a four year old out of a Flaxtail
mare known for her softness.

Adonis, as a three-year-old, won several good races, and
also lost some, forcing Yolo Maid to 2:18, 2:14, 2:144, in one.
Shortly after, he beat Almont Patchen and Belmont Boy in
2:18, 2:21 and 2:14}. From San Francisco he went to Sacra-
mento, where he beat Yolo Maid in 2:154, last half in 1:02|,
on a very heavy track. As a four-y ear-old, he paced a win-

ning race at Stockton in 2:16, 2:16£; then to San Jose, where
he won again in 2:14i, 2:21, 2:14, finishing in a jog. His
owner and driver, Mr. 0. A. Hickok, so well known for his
fine judgment in race-horse matters, that he often has been
called the "Tallyrand of the trotting turf," offered to match
him for $2,500 against Brown Jug's three heats, 2:11}, 2:11£.
2:12.

Longworth, 2:19, a lame four-year-old, who was second in
2:22, fourth in 2:23J, second in 2:22|, and second in 2:25 at
Santa Bosa, and who the following week won at Petaluma
against a big field in 2:195, 2:20}, 2:21$, every heat driven
hard under the whip, is certainly a race horse. In Oaklaod
he was fir6t in 2:19, third in 2:24, second in 2:20, fourth in
2:25, second in 2:23£, and Becond in 2:26. In Sacramento,
lamer than ever, he was sixth in 2:18, first in 2:19}, second in
2:18£, second in 2:20$, and third in 2:19J; from which place
he could hardly be led to [)x. G. W. Stimpson*s horse hospi-
tal, where he still is. This is a showing of gamenese.

Fleet, one-year-old, 2:36, who made her yearling record
after going in 2:50, 2:40 236, shows campaigning abilities,
and had it n it been for her nervousness, would certainly
have done better in both her one and two-year-old forms. As
a two-year-old she trained on to a record of 2:24. In Sacra-
mento her able driver, Mr. Dustin, wishing to steady her for
a race in which he knew that all hands would try to fxcite
his unruly charge, overdid the thing "Errare Hnmanum Eat,"
and gave her a two-mile heat in 5:10, a repeat in 2:29, then
undertook to race her; she won the first heat in 2:28£, and
was beaten in 2:30J in consequence of a bad break. By
this time the two-year-old had gone five fast miles, and was
so tired that she got distanced in the third heat — her sixth
heat of the day! FeeliDg badly over his misfortune, Mr.
Dustin drove her two exhibition miles the following week at
Stockton in 2:2a and 2:24} without a skip; the fastest two
consecutive heats on record for a two-year-old, we believe.

We will only make h passing mention of the four-year-old
Sister V., 2:27, trial 2:23. After a long trip Bhe won a hardly
contested race at Anaconda in 2:28J, 2:28, 2:28, 2:27f . While
this is not a remarkable showing in our days, it still speaks
very fairly for her sire.

Memo, at two years old, got a record of 2:47. Lame and
with hobbles, he forced Grandee out in 2:32, 2:3U, being
beaten by a short nose each time. As a three-year-old he
showed a trial in the third beat in 2:20i, timed by experi-
ence and reliable men.

George V. started twice asa yearling and was never beaten.

Fanstino started as a yearling against Yon Wilkes' record
of 2:38i. He was warmed up in 2:40, and repeated in 2:35;
first half in 1:20, last half in 1:15, finishing the last end at a
2:20 gait. It is the unanimous opinion of all who saw bira,
that he could have gone close to 2:30.

To Sidney goes the honor of having sired the fastest two
yearlings ever sired by one horse. 2:36, 2:35.

The fastest yearling of 188S, 2:36.

The fastest yearling of 1889, 2:35-

The fastest two-year-old filly of 1889, 2:24.

The fastest foor-year-old filly (pacer), 2:11}.

The fastest four-year-old gelding (pacer), 2:14.

Kidd Edmanson and Morse Sale.

Mr. F. S. Waters, Waters Stock Farm, one of the most no-
ted breeders in the country, consigns several head of trotters
to the Kidd, Edmanson & Morse sale, for the last week in
February next. We are glad to see our prominent breeders
recognizing these sales. These gentlemen deserve great cred-
it for the energy and pluck displayed in building up a com.
biDation sale in oar city. The plan has worked well in Ken-
tuckey and elsewhere to both buyer and seller, bringing to-
gether as it does the best horsemen from every part of the
Union. Mr. Waters' consignment is a great compliment to
these gentlemen, and we are quite bu re they know how to
give it due appreciation. All of onr breeders should follow
and help to make this the equal of any combination sale in
America. At their last sate Mr. Salisbury patronized the firm
and he gives them every meed of praise for the thorough man-
ner in which the sales were made.

THE GUN.

Mr. Loud Locates.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I am pleased to inform
you that I have located my kennel at Paoihc Beach, seven
miles from San Diego, which will be known as the Bay View
Kenuels. I shall devote my time to breeding and training
setters and pointers, also breeding fancy pet stock and pit
games. T. Fitzpalrick of Rome, Ga., will booh join me with
his kennel of setters and pointers, also his celebrated pens of
pheasants and pit games, and in time we hope to work up an
interest among dog men iu Southern California. False Bay,
inside of Pacific Beach, affords fine dock and geese shooting,
and in the hills back from the beach good quail shooting can
be found. San Diego County is badly in need of a game and
fish warden. Only a few days since two deer, a doe and a fawn,
hang in front of a market on Filth street for several hours;
both had the evidenoes of [sex removed, and I am told the
fish laws are violated shamefully; in fact the game law seems
to be a blank in this part of the country, while there are many
true sportsmen who would, be glad to assist in maintaning
the law. C. A. Loud.

Pacific Beaoh, San Diego, Dec. 15th, 1880.

Preserving the Quail-

Says the Saturday Globe, published at Utica, Wy.: The
day is not far distant when the quails will be preserved in
every State in the Union, and the privilege to Bhoot them
over a given territory will be paid for in goudsnms. Indeed,
there are alao established in this country quite a number of
preserves where the right to shoot is purchased. At pres-
ent there is no great necessity for preserves, as the shooting
is almost unlimited without it. Still, there are a number of
places where thousands of acres are let to clubs, and ihese
luruish a man to patrol the grounds occasionally, provide
food and in bad weather suitable shelter for the birds. The
birds breed so rapidly and prosper so well under good treat-
ment that the fashion for quail preserves is taking a firm hold,
and in time will become quite general.

Deer Killed.

The high water ontbe bottom lands alonf= the Feather Riv-
er below town has driven all the animals to the levees or
other high grounds, and during the past week several deer
have been killed. Fred Hiusb sighted ore near his place last
Friday and procuring a rifle killed the animnl. It was a fine
large bock weighingover 175 pounds. Mr. Hauss will have
the head mounted. Some men on the Graffis farm also
killed two deer last week and treated their neighbors. On
Bear river near the farm of C. P. Berry several deer have
been killed, and wood-choppers near Nicolaus also secured
several large bucks. As the deer season closed last Sunday
it now makes it a misdemeanor to kill these animals and par-
ties should be careful. — Sutter County Farmer.

Match at Colton.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The Fifth Match for
Selby Standard Challenge Medal, representing the title of
Championship for Southern California, at artificial targets,
takes place at Colton, California, under the auspices of the
Colton Gan Club, December 25th.

Conditions, 50 single and 25 pairs Blue Rocks. American
Association rules to govern.

To the Top of Mt. Whitney.

[By 0. E. Sherman.]

XVI.

August 14th, at 6:30 a. m. as fresh as larks, confident and
hopeful thecavalcade took to the trail, which still followed
along the river banks, except where rockey abutments forced
roundabout climbing on the mountain sides. Bear tracks
were everywhere. The Doctor chased a bear into a pile of
rocks and immediately formed a plan of campaign in which
it was arranged that the bear should fure very badly. But
time pressed, and this wbb no ulace for loitering, so reluc-
tantly, the Doctor gave up his dream of sporting glory and
kept company with the band.

The gusty air was full of life and vigor and each indi-
vidual Pilgrim body thrilled with healthy enjoyment of
such nnwouted scenes and places. At noon Camp Bounti-
ful was the resting place. It was in a beautiful little mead-
ow green with verdure and abounding in natural grasses, let
alone by sheep men because of difficult access. The trail
was an evasive creature all the afternoon, getting itself lost
about every five minutes, requiring constant care to keep it
and continual watching lo Hud it again. At one time no two
of the bind agreed upon anything concerning the trail exoept
that there was none. In which direction one might per-
chance exiBt was a theme upon which a good deal of indi-
vidual bias was manifested.

The Counselor's incident occurred hereabouts. His horse
naiurully long and pretty light forward, during bis trip had
gradually been stretching apart. A short turn around a
rock had to be made, and he was too loDgthy. So he unbal-
anced over backward, landing most fortunately againat the
uphill Hide of a huge fallen tree. After a rest— from every-
thing but tantalizing tongues, amid whioh the Counselor's
wan not oonspicuoos— the animal wns righted, but no one
noticed that the saddle girths were looaened. Just afterward
a ■hell of granite rook was reached, to Hurmount which a
horse had lirat to place bis fore feet thereon and then with a
mighty spring laud upon the shelf on all fuura. Old lengthy
got his foro feet in place and was about to do the grand when
the saddle slipped and with frenzied kicking away went one
Htirrup, then the other, and piece by piece all '.hat was mor-
tal of u dearly beloved saddle. Meantime the Counselor was
jit t,.o head end of tbfr beast pulling upon a bridle us hard as
:t would bear. Bat all declare thut the old horse never
would have got all of himself upon that ehelf only that the
■ elocity of the kicks compressed the air and really lilted the
working end of the horse into safety. And the Electrician
declared after the agony was over that the home had kicked
himself shorter and into reasonable limits. Id fact he proved
it by some galvanometiic calculations whioh were ho deeply
1 the rest of the party thut they were afraid not to be-
.ieve. Thero wen- many boisterous jests and much breezy
luugbter. But the Counselor took no part therein.

The country opened as elevation was gained and that night
lO.SOOfeet above the sea, almost at the very headwaters of
Kern and Kings River in a country of desolate grandeur,
Camp Hardscrabble was made. It had been a trying and
wearisome day, winding among huge cliffs, gigantic boulders
and getting around fallen timber, by devious and, almost im-
possiole ways, bnt progress had been made and so far the
prediction of an Inyo County man, ''you cannot go to Mt.
Whitney by that way up Keru River," remained unfullblled.
Yet it waB not with any profound feelings of gratified vanity
that any of the Pilgrims retired that night, for between them
and their yet unreached summit what might there not be?
When nearing the goal with almost absolute certainty of
triumphant arrival there are not always the happiest mo-
ments in human life. There may be a haunting fear that at
the supreme moment the grateful cup may be dashed aside.
There will arise disagreeable questionings as to whether
some other path might not have been surer trod, some other
way have given greater certainty. And, not to be put dowD,
in reviewing the whole plan, looms drearily the question,
may there not be some hidden flaw which at the last will
crash and topple everything into ruins? It may be granted
that the Pilgrims went to bed with tbe blnss.

The chef's tire was at the root of a hugh tamarack which
had fallen down hill. Another had fallen nearly at right an-
gles across its top branches, and close to this mixed up with
its branches waB a third tamarack, dead but still standing
and from whioh the needles had not yet dropped. The
Doctor, Enthusiast and Artist made their beds directly under
this standing tree. The Counselor started a tire. It is sup-

until in an iustant, with the roar of a tornado, the whole
standing tree was Dlazingmightily, the points of surging flame
reaching hundreds of feet into the air. Tbe Doctor grabbed
his rifle and one boot aud slid out into tbe gloom; the enthu-

August 16th was a slow march to the south, up and down
croaB ridges well away from the river bed through the bar-
renness of rocky desolation, but night placed the Pilgrims in
the bleak and forbidding fastnesses of Camp. Uncertainty 10,-
500 feet above the sea and at the supposed base of Mt. Whit-
ney.

From here on August 17th bright and early the Pilgrim
Band started on foot to make the final ascent, the first hour
reaching 12,850 feet elevation, the second 13,500 feet, and
then with a further ascent of about 500 feet, they gained a
summit — and lo! it was not tire top ot Mt. Whitney, but a
misguided peak, mistakenly climbed. The temperature of
disgust boiled over, the valor of the Pilgrims went down into
their bootB, and disgruntedly all returned to Camp Uncer-
tainty for a fresh start. This was made at 1p.m. Up, up,
up, through almost impassible chasms, over beetling cliffs
where one false step would have opened the gates of death,
with dogged persistence and through great tribulation, the
very last of the way through the roughest of glaciers, and
then — the 15,087 feet high summit of Mt. Whitney was
reached and the band of Pilgrims stood higher than almost
all the reBt of tbe whole world. To the eaBt, 14,000 feet be-
low them, nestled tbe town of Big Pine, Inyo County, in the
valley of Owens River. Valley and river could be seen for
moBt of their course. Southwesterly lay Kern River with its
intricate windings and (remendouB detours in its attempt to
escape from the mountains. Westerly lay the great plains
of the San Joaquin Valley, bounded on the west by the
Coast Range. There was too much baze to look beyond this
and view the Pacific Ocean, but it was there and to be seen
under favorable auspices. Northerly to the horizon Btretcbed
away the"towering; cliffs of the Sierra Nevadas. Underneath
the broken rocks upon which they stood every crevice showed
layers of solid. ice. Nineteen lakes could be counted from
this vaptage ground.

Near by are two monuments carefully built of stone, the
larger about eight feet high, within the crevices of which
were many mementos placed as records by those who have
scaled this rugged height. Some records were within tin
cans, some in bottles. A copper had engraved upon it the
names ot two citizens of Inyo County. Within a tin can were
some Government records, which have been sadly mutilated
by vandals. Among them is the following:

Alpenstocks in great quantity were found at the foot of the
climb and were of great service. One after another, turns
were taken in carrying the oamera and its attachments to the

considered, tbe rarest views in the world were takan.

At Central Market during this week, Mr. S. Solomon has
had hanging in his Btall three fine fat oinnamon bears, all
young and choice. Stall-fed bear loses much of the flavor
peculiar to the wild beast, and is much like coarse grained
pork.

Mr. C. A. Loud writes us: "What becomes of our quails?"
AnBWer.— One man brought forty-seven dozens of qnail into
San Diego on December 7th and sold them for thirty-five
cents per dozen. He was ont only two days.

An immense cottonwood tree went down the Sacramento,
past Colusa, last Saturday morning. Its only passenger was
a brown bear that seemed paralyzed with fright. As the
tree swept under the bridge the bear saw its chance, and by
a rapid swing caught the lower bent, pulled himself up on
the railway and trotted off in the country.

The Petaluma Sportsman's Club will be apt to make it sul-
try for a oouple of Italians who have been fishing in the creek
with nets and traps. Last Saturday they had a wire trap on
the end of a long pole and made quite a haul of catfish, tront
and smelt. "When they get to fishing a little further up the
creek where the black bass are located, the trouble will set

The Saturday Globe of Utica, N, Y., publishes a good por-
trait of Mr. Harvey McMurchy, travelling representative of
Mr. L. C. Smith, and with it an interesting sketch of the uu-
iversally admired sportsman and champion shot. Mr. Mc-
Murchy ie the projector of the Bhooting tour to be made of
thiacoontry, some of the details of which were sent out a
few daya ago by the Asaooiated Press. An Eastern aud a
Western team will, in Pullman palace and sleeping cars built
for their especial comfort, consisting of five men in each,
leave Cincinnati on the 7th of next month on the exhibition
tour, which will comprise, among other places, fheee cities:
St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Austin,"
San Antonia, El Paso, Los Angeles San Francisco, Sacra-
mento, Portland, Tacuma, Seattle, Ogden, Salt Lake City,
Denver. Kansas City, Omaha, Des Moines, St. Paul, Minne-
apolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Buffi. lo, Syra use, New
York and Bosion, where the party will disperse with a big
blow-out about the 20th of March.

Io some of the cities prizes have beeu r ff'ered mid will be
shot for between the teams. Baseball grounds will be chosen
wherever such an arrangement can be made. Ibis is the
first trip of the kind ever undertaken. It is the beginning
of a series of such contests and it is quite likely that the five
men who make the best records on tbe present trip will be
members of a team tbat will go to Australia and around the
world on a two or three years' trip challenging all comers.
There is no doubt whatever but that Mr. McMurchy will be
one of the successful five as he is known to be one of the two
or three best shots in the world.

The teams are to be designated as the Euteru and West-
ern, with dividing lines at Ohio. These are tbe teams as at
present selected:

Eastern team— H. McMurchy, of this citv, captain; H. B.
Whitney of Phelps, N. Y.; W. Wolstencroft, Philadelphia,
Pa.; W. Perrv, Worcester, Mass., and W. Perry of Boston,'
Mass. The Western team will be composed of C. W. Budd
of Des Moines, Iowa, captain; B. Heike^ of Dayton, Ohio; J.
Stice of Jacksonville, III., and John Ruble of Beloit, Wis.'

The improvements projected by the Pacific Land and Im-
provement Company at Ukiah, are progressing rapidly, and
the same preserve will soon be an accomplished fact. Mr
T. R. Lucas writes of the dam being built in Robinson Creek
Canyon:

The dam has been put down to bed rock at a rocky point
in the canyon about two hundred yards below Mr. Luc s'
house, at a point where tbe cliffs come close to the raoton
on both sides. It was ascertained laat summer, which as" all
know was a very dry season, that the least How of water
woold, if seepage were prevented, be sufficient to work the
electric plant. To prevent the seepage a strong, concrete dam
is put to the bedrock on the bottom and sides, a distance of
17 feet below the surface, and carried six feet above the bed
of the creek. The dam is now over twenty feet above bed
rock leaving only a few feet in height to be built. A ledge of
very fine Faudstone was found a short distance from the
dam, and will be quarred out for its completion. The club
who have leased Mr. Lucas' place for twenty years as a game
preserve, now intend to use this sandstone in building an
elegant clnb house on the place. The members of the club
number some of the wealthiest men in California. They will
shortly turn loose a lot of Mongolian and golden pheasants.

"The provisions of the game law'are nnallv beginning to
take firm hold iu Humboldt County. A penalty of $50 is
the surest way to bring law-breakers to a realization of the
fact that laws are not made to be laughed at. The presB of
county has given all sufficient warning in this matter. Those
who suffer have only themselves to blame.

As h result of the vigilance of Fish and Game Commission-
er Smith, E. S. Phillips, merchant at Rohuerville, pleaded
guilty before Justice Cloud of having illicit deer skins in his
possession. A young man named Elliott, in the employ of
Davis & Davis at Fortuna, for attempting to secrete skins of
a similar nature, was assessed $50, and the firm last named
are uuder arreBt for having snch skins in their possession.
Wh«n dealers who unguardedly purchase deer skins whioh the
law prohibits them from handling are make to kDow that they
are paying the penalty for the vandal and illegal acts of those
who kill the deer, an end will be put to the traffic and the
unwarranted slaughter of deer will cease. The only reoonrse
the dealer has is to enter complaint in turn against the par-
ties from whom they purohaBed."

[The foregoing seutences are from the Humboldt Standard
published at Eureka, and are most encouraging. If the presB
takes firm ground against violations of the game and fish
laws, the battle will be more than half won. Ed.]

Coyote scalps are worth $15 each in Lake County.

Ortolans and larks are very plentiful in the Paris markets
just now, and you may see thousands of these dainty ornith-
ological specimens strung up outside poulterers' shops await-
ing the arrival of the cooks or chefs of gourmets, by whom
they are bought largely. The ortolan is generally oaught iu
the fields of Berry aud on the plains of Provence and Lan-
guedoo. Most of the birds now on view in the shopB of
poalterera and marckanda de comestibles are sent np from
Provence, Some are first caught in nets, and then placed in
cages, to whioh by their Btraius they entice their fellows, who
are then peppered by persons on the lookout for them,
armed with fowling-pieces. In Languedoc the ortolans are
usually put when caught into dark rooms, where they are fed
and fattened for market.

The above cat, taken from a photograph from life by our
artist, is a true pictureof three of the family of dishfaced Berk-
sbires, from the famous herd owned by Andrew Smith, Red-
wood City, Cal. A viBit to his ranch, situated near Redwood,
will well repay any lover of tine stock. The farm is beautifully
located in the foot hills, commanding a magnificent view of
the Santa Clara valley and surrounding country, and is ad-
mirably adapted for the breeding of fine stock. The proxim-
ity to San Franoisco, only one hours' ride by cars, brings the
stock within easy reach of breeders, and Mr. Smith invites

he has Dever been beaten in any show-ring. He is admitted
by all to be the best boar of his age living today. He has
been bred to some of the famous Sallie and Siumpy sows in
the herd, and great resnlta are expected from the crosses-
Mr. Smith has three other imported boars, Redwood Duke,
Baronet and Peploe, all magnificent animals and grand pro-
ducers, and allot different strains of blood. He has four
separate and distinct families, and can provide purchasers
with boars and sows, no kin whatever.
The sow Redwood Sallie II. was bred by Mr. Smith; sire,

herds in Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. The best
that could be found, and out of four entries at last State Fair
(all youngsters), Mr. Smith captured four first prizes and one
sweepstakes, the latter with the elegant yearling sow Exquisite,
who won over sows of any age. We predict as brilliant a
success for this herd of Poland-Chinas as has been achieved
by Mr. Smith with his unequalled herd of Berkshire^.

We also noticed a line herd of Holstein caltle, Beveral im-
ported direot from Holland; also a small herd of Durhams.
Out of these herds, three shipments have been made recently

intending purchasers to visit the farm and inspect the stock
and judge for themselves. He has without exception the
finest herd of Berkshires to be found in America, and as good
as can be had in England. He imports yearly from England
direct, the best blood that money can procure, from the most
fashionably bred herds, and he has now select animals
from all the noted families, and by jadicions blending of the
different strains of imported blood, has established a herd on
his farm whose fame is known all over the Pacific Coast as
prize winners, and his exhibit at the last State Fair was
acknowledged to be the finest ever made in California. He
is richly entitled to the honors received.

The boar Model Duke, at the head of this picture, was
purchased last summer by Mr. Smith at a cost of $750, and

The Golddust Family.

Editor Beeedek and Sportsman:— At the Palace Hotel
one night last week, there were quite a party of gentlemen,
horse lovers aod breeders, assembled together talking
over the merits of different trotting fdmilies, and their good
and bad qualities. Among others the Golddnst family was
discussed; as to its merits one gentleman in the party said it
was a family of no merit, and as a family they had never doDe
anything of interest as producing speed of note. I said to
the erudite speaker who had the floor that I thought he was
a little mistaken, that it would be for hi? interest to examine
without prejudice, the merits of the Golddust strain. He
said that he would like some one to show him their merits if
they had any. I Sbid to the gentleman that it was rather late
in the evening to go into further details of the merits of the
Golddnst breed, bot as 1 was perfectly unbiased and unpreju-
diced about any great family with merit. I would show him
that they wpre a family of great value and that the blood of
Golddnst was crossing out here and there all along the line
and for good reasons that readily suggest themselves, it will
be of interest to examine without prejudice, and state with
fairness the case of a horse of which much has been written
andspoken, yet with very Utile definitely known on the sub-
ject among horsemen whose views on the subject of
breeding in the davs of Golddust are by no means the
views of this day. Thus the oppjrtnmties of Golddnst for
leaving behind him a distinguished trotting progeny, that in
turn would transmit the fine qualities aod capacities by such
means obtained were of the most limited sort, and the won-
der of wonders is that we have preserved to this day a type
of horse so derived, as marked in every way as any that can
be named, recngoized as superior to all other types in its
combination of style and beauty of the first water, of courage
and endurance, and the outcome of tested speed that under

This sow has taken ever? first premium in her class, and

cession; also the gold medal, along with Redwood Dnke, for
the best boar and sow in the State.

PaDdora, the other sow in this picture, represents acother
strain of imported blood, the dam being imported Queen, one
of the finest in the herd. There are six imported sows — all
brought over from England by Mr. Smith — in this herd, and
twenty young sows — the direct produce of his own imports,
tions — all fit to exhibit at any State fair, and for uniform
quality, size and standard points, are a credit to any herd.

On this farm, lately introdnced, can be seen a email
herd of Poland-China, each individual selected from the best

the circumstances is of all perhaps the most surprising to
many horsemen. In early days when trotting was in its in-
tanoy, Golddnst had fame equal to that of any Kentucky
trotter. A real knowledge of the Golddusts is now confined
to one corner of Kentucky, and that, until recently, a corner
little known in connection with trotting horse breeding. The
corner of Kentucky referred to is Jefferson County. Here
Golddnst lived and died, aDd here his blood has been given
the only opportunity it has had anywhere under the present
advanced ideas of breeding. It is not necessary here to go
into further details, but I will show the great value of the
blood of Golddust — blood that in the face of strong prejudice,
backed by the money power that is only loo often used to
push its advantage too far, bas forced its way to the front. It
is frequently overlooked that the Golddusts are not really a
separate class, but only a branch of the great Morgan family;
a family that taken «11 in all, is nBually accorded foremost
rank amoDg the roadsters of this country, and exists in
two noted stallions of this day, who stand at the bend of
two great breeding farms at a service fee of $500 each. This
is better understood in the East than here. Generally the
Golddusts have, from this Morgan point of view, been much
and favorably discussed, and there the best representatives
of the Morgan blood is in demand. In commanding relation-
ship it crops out here and there all along the line. The stud
career of Golddust was a short one, foaled aH he was in
1855, and with bis death occuring in 1871, he passed away
in bis prime. Of the years in which it was possible for him
to do stud service he lost rive years during the late war, and
it is authoritatively stated that the total number of 'foals got
by him was nuder two huoHred and fifty. Few of these wpre
out of mares of any note in breeding and yet in Chester** Re*
cord it is Hhowu that twenty-three of his get have records, of
2:40 or better. His direct contributions better than 2.130,

to Japan, and he has orders for Holstein cattle and Berk-
shire swine for Japan, to be shipped by February 6teamers,
and be states, his orders for tine stock are steadily increasing,
showing that shipments already made have given universal
satisfaction.

A tine flock of imported Shropshire Down sheep attracted
our attention, but time being limited, we did not examine
them closely.

We forgot to state that all the stock on this farm which we
have referred to, viz., Berkshire**, Poland -Chin as, Holsteinat
Shorthorns and Shropshire sheep, are all recorded in their
respective herd books. All the youngsters shipped from thi8
farm are eligible, and can be recorded on application.

The proposition, of whether Suuol and Astell, can lower

From the present outlook of affairs, the year 1890 will be a
very important one to those who favor the thoroughbreds.
California will be better represented than ever, and some sen-

Reports from Hneneme, Veutura Co., confirm the state-
ment made some time ago, that the citizens of that lively
Burg will have one of the best race tracks in the United
States. It has been made on Bcientitia principles, and from
the character of the ground Bhould prove extraordinarily fast.

A meeting of the members of the Pacific Coast Trotting
Horse Breeders' Association is oalled for|Weduesday, January
8th, when it is hoped that every one whose Dameia on the
roll will be present. The annual election of offioers will take
place, and other buBineBH of importance will to transacted.

^ Frank H. Burke, one of the best informed horsemen in the
Stale, has added a Kindergarden track to hiB Menlo Park
Stock Farm, and hereafter the "babies" will receive their
work on the small track under the careful supervision of
William Voiget, than whom there is none better to mani-
pulate the rising generation of horses.

Mr. John Scott who is well and favorably known as an im-
porter of Australian Clydesdales, brought another half dozen
lujally bred, by the last Australian steamer. They are lo'
ttted at the Buy District Track and as usual will be disposed
of by KillipA- Co. 22 Montgomeay Street. There are four
stallions and two mares in the consignment.

Mr. J F. McNuught formerly ol Seattle has removed to St
Louis, but recognizing the beneficial effeots of the California
climate on horses has left his two fast trotting mares Sister V
and FebtlesB at Sau Mateo Stock Farm where they will be
handled m ibe spring by J. A. Goldsmith preparatory to
sending them on the Eastern circuit.

An elegant souvenir was sent to the office this week with
the compliments of J. H. Neal, Secretary Pleasanton' Stock

she .von the Spirit Futurity Stake ut Cleveland last tall The
shoe is elegantly gold plated, and will be accorded a place of

The royally bred stallion Regal Wilkes will have six mare3
sent to his harem the coming season, five of them the proper-
ty cf his owner Mr. Corbitt, and the other a mare beloning to
W. H. Crawford of Lexington, Ky. The winner of Rose's
wager saw the two year old make the stallion record for
that age, and determined to breed to him if money would ac-
complish the object, so he said to Mr. Corbitt "breed my
mare to Regal and send in your bill, I do not care what you
charge."

Acting on the advice of L. J.Rose of Lns Angeles, Wm. Cor"
bitt, Esq,, of the San Mateo Stock Farm, has Daid over to W-
H. Crawford o£Lexingtou,Ky., the money wagared by the two
gentlemen on the result of the time to be made by Stamboul
during the year 1889. The following is a copy of the receipt:
Received from Mr. Corbitt ten thousand dollars, the amount
wagered between L. J. Rose and myself on Stamboul acquir-
ing apublio record of 2:12 or better during the season of 18S9.

W. H. Crawford.

There is no doubt but, accidents not happening, Mr. T.
Winters' famous son of Norfolk and Marian, El Rio Rey will
be seen at St. Louis next June. Mr. Winters has already en-
gaged stable room, and the horse has been entered for next
year's Derby. Stronger corroboration, even, is at hand, for
Trainer McCormick has sent word to his friends there that
the stable will Btart at Memphis, and racing right up the cir-
cuit to Chicago, then go East to Saratoga or Monmouth.

Immediately after purchasing Mikado and Tvcoon, Mr.
Rose had them forwarded toward Los AugeleB." Kico was
also DUt in the same car, and although that was several days
ago, they have not arrived at their destination yet. The
washout on the railroad between Mojave and Los Augeles is
the oause of their detention at the former place. Mr. Miller,
owner of Daisy D. and other race horses, had to returm from
Mojave, and took the boat yesterday morning for the Angel
city.

I have received a note from H. G. Crickmore, secretary of
the MoomouthPark association, in which he says that de-
clarations are due January 1st, 1890, on the following stakes
to be run next year: For three year olds — Lorillard and
Omnibus at $25 each; Stockton, Stevens, Monmouth Oaks
and West End Hotel Stakes at $20 eaoh. For two year olds-
Hopeful, July, Tyro, Sapling, Junior Champion, August
and Criterion StakeB at $10 each. For stakes to be run iii
1891. For three year olds — Lorillard, Monmouth Oaks, Stock-
ton, StevenB, Omnibus and West End Hotel Stukes at $10.

Our Australian exchanges give glowing accounts of the race
for the Melbourne Cup which was run off on the 5th of last
month. Last year Mr. Donald Wallace won the coveted prize
with Menlo, and tried to duplicate the win this year with
Carbine, the most sueeeBBful of last season's three year olds.-
The colt had shown such high form tbat Ihe handicapper
gave him the enormous impost of 140 pounds. When he ap-
peared at the post he was founed to have on a bar shoe and
the hoof was bound with tarred rope, the poor beast being
bandioapped in an extra manner, by a badly cracked hoof.
Notwithstanding the bad fuot and frightful weight he came
eecoud, finishing in a very game manner.

Mr. Charles Kerr of Bakerslield was in the city a few days
ago. and I learn that he has purchased two valuable oolts
from Rancho Del Paso. The first is a bay borsi colt foaled
1S88 bv Darebio, dam Mariposa (sister to Merchionets) by
Monarchist, he by L*xiogton; 2.1 dam Heliotrope uy imp.
Knight of St. George; 3rd dam by imp Gleuoje etc. The
second one beloDgB to the trotting division and is by Albert
W,, dam byKentucky Prince, 2nd dam Wayward by Volun-
teer. Mr. Kerr has many fine broodmareB on the home ranoh
and these two youngsters will tdd greatly to the future
stock. The price paid is not given.

B. D., San Bernardino:

Can you give the pedigree of Edwin Booth, a horse bought
in San Francisco, by Senator Conn about eight years ago, and
brought here? Has he any record?

Can any of our readers answer the above question,

C. E. B.

Please inform me if there is any horse registered by the
name of Navigator. Please answer through your paper and
oblige.

Answer. — There is a horse already registered by that name.

Navigator 138S.

Mr. Fortin.

In answer to your query as to the breeding of Dave, Mr.
Salomon sends us word that the horse washy Young Niagara,
dam by Rifleman.
R. J. H. '

I will be greatly obliged to you, if you will give me the
breeding of Lady Graves, also her best record. Do you know
who formerly owned her and by whom she is owned now.

Answer. — Lady Graves 2:43£. We do not know her pedi-
gree, nor who owns her.

Quartz.

The grey gelding you allude to was bred by J. B. Haggin,
Rancho Del Paso, Sacramento County, and is bred as follows,
by Echo, 462, dam Sallv Come Up, by Geo. M. Patchen Jr.
31, he by Geo. M. Patchen 30; 2nd dam, Millinette by Grey
Eagle; 3rd dam, Maid of Athens by Priam; 4th dam, Lady
Chesterfield by Arab; 5th dam, by imp, Knowsley; sixth
dam, by imp Dion, etc.

F.D. H.

Will you please let me know the pedigree of Capt Cole on his
mother's side, and who owned him when he was foaled, and
what is his color, aud is he registered in Wallace's Stud Book;
if not, is he bred well enough to be registered? I think I
own the horse but bought him under another name.

Answer — Captain Kohl, foaled 1873, was bred by Mr.
Whipple, and was sold at one of his sales to a party Darned
Luce, who took bim South. When he left San Francisco his
name was changed to "Luconia." He is not registered, and
is not eligable, as the pedigree of his dam is unknown.

A. W. B.

(1) Will you please publish in your next issue the pedigree
of Biggart's Rattler? (2) The pedigree of Lady Crum, dam
of Alexander 490? (3) Also the dam of TopBellfounder?

Answer. — Biggart's Rattier, foaled 1844, by Sir Henry, son
of the Garret Horse, by imp. Leonidas, dam by the Hyde
Horse, son of Long's Magnum Bonum; seoond dam a mare
said to be of Messenger blood. The above is the pedigree as
given, but there is a doubt as to which Leonidas it was —
whether the imported horse or a son of his. (Lady Crum
was bred in Ohio, and ib represented to be by Brown's Bell-
founder. (3) Ihere is nothing known of the dam of Top
Bellfounder.

INFORMATION WANTED.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Can you give me the
pedigree or tell me anything of the breeding of a mare which
trotted in this State principally around Sacramento, about
twenty years ago? She was a large ohestnut and named
Fancy, she was said to have been owned by a man named
Miller, by some E. H. Miller of the Railroad Compauy. Any
information about this mare would be highly appreciated by
Yours respectfully,

We have had many inquiries in regard to the breeding of
Napa Kittler, and have at last received the following, which
throws some little light on the subject:

Woodland, Cal , Dec. 17, I8S9.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Mr. Geo. W. Woodard,
of Yolo, requested me to Bend you what information I had
obtained about the breeding of Napa Rattler, as he promised
you he would when he was in the city a few days ago. WiU
enclose the statement with the request that you return the
same whon you have done with it. Mr. G. W. Steves told
me that Mr. Sttver is dead Precluding the best evidence in
matters of this kind, I take it that Mr. Steves iscorreot in his
■tatement, because te was a residentof that immediate vicin-
ity (Alutou, N. Y.), previous to coming to this State (Napa
hia present address), where the horse was bred, raised aud
owned until Bold to him by Mr. Stover, a ctuun. Of the first
dam Poll, he states that she was bred by Mr. Stever. The
seoond dam, he says, was Betsy Baker, sired, he thought, by
a son of imp. Messenger (probably by Mambrino). Said
Hetsy Baker was quite a running mare in her time.

Very respectfully, A. W. Boucher.

The statement which accompanies the above letter is as
follows:

_ _ Napa, Augnat 27, 18S9.

G. W. Steves, now of Napa. Cal., bought the bay horse
Napa Rattler, foaled 1S54, of David Stever, of Milton, Sara-
toga County, N. Y., aud brought him to California in 1859.
He was sired by Biggart's Rattler, first dam Poll (bred by
David Stever) by imp. Consternation; second dam Betsy
Baker by a sou of imp. Messenger.

Dog fanoyins readers will be interested iD studying the
lines of Doctor "W. E. Wadams' very handsome greyhound
Midnight. Doctor Wadams resides in Santa Clara, where
good roads aud facilities for training hounds are adequate,
the natural consequence being that his dogs are always sent
np to public meetings in superb form. Midnight was bred
by Mr. H. W. Smith at Worcester, Mass; was whelped Oc-
ober 29, 18S5; iB black with white biisket, toes and tip of
tail. He stands twenty-six and one-half inches at the shoul-
der, girths thirty inches, weighs fifty-five pounds in condi_
tion and sixty pounds at other times.

His pedigree is unexceptionable on both sides, being field
stock, of winning strains, as will be seen by the subjoined
table.

I Cardinal York.
Lady Slonnont.

His owner is an enthusiastic admirer of conrsing and may
be relied upon to advance the dog at every fitting opportu-
nity.

Mary's Little Pup.

Mary had a little brute, as fat as it could waddle, and
everywhere that Mary'd scoot this little pup would toddle. It
taggsd her down the street one day, close up behind her
buggy; oh, how it loved to run away, this naughty little
pugay. 'Twas always doing sometbirjg wrong when Mary
turned her back; and all the time he seemed to long to walk
the railroad track. One day, when Mary was at church, this
frisky little scamp thought he would leave her in the luroh
and go and play the tramp. So down upon the ties he trod,
the one the poor tramps use, till worn out on the track he
squats, and drops into a snooze. He, fast asleep, did not ob-
serve— ah, sad indeed the story — ihe fast express come
around the curve; that pup went up to glory. There came
along a butcher man who once had loved that pup, and with
a brush and big dust pan he swept that poor dog up. Next
Wednesday Mary got him back- he did uot look the same; he
would not come when she called "Jack!" — Bologna was his
name. — Nobody willing to father it.

As a performer, Midnight has been Bingularly out of luck.
He has been coursed but very little. At Newark he beat
speedy Feasant Girl, and the finish uf the stake being post-
poned. Doctor Wadams withdrew Midnight and took third
money. At Merced the dog ran once, unplaced, being entirely
out of condition. At Gilroy he was slipped unsighted, but,
nevertheless, won to rule in good style, although the race
was given against him.

At Ocean View, on Thanksgiving Day, Midnight beat
Benelon II. the previous winner in the Occidental Club,
and a good field of dogs, and won first, $70 and a beautifuj
crayon portrait by Mr. H. Boyd. In the opinion of several
good judges, he is a tine model of a greyhound, being welj
legged and footed, nicely sprnng, Btrongly loined, and very
olean all over. He is a rusher from slips, having the foot of
about any dog in the State, and being' a clever, close and
tasty workman. The portrait is fairly good, and briDgs out
the points of the dog sufficiently well to enable those in the
fancy to judge him.

The most awful and unexpected things are constantly hap-
pening to our friend Mr. Nick White of Sacramento. Not
that he invites calamity — in fact, he is averse to continued
excitement, but Bomehow bis bent litid plans ''gang aft" and
result in nioBt extraordinary denouements. The nther day he
organized a coursing match at Sacramento in the hope that
the citizens might be induced to love the sport. We subjoin
his description of the affair.

Several embryo sportsmen — or, rather, boys— caught a
jaek-rahbit Saturday over on the Yolo Bide, and brought the
long-eared animal home with them in a bag.

The services of several greyhounds, a Newfoundland, two
Betters and a dozen curs were secured, and a grand coarBing
match was announced. I Btreet was chosen as the coursing
ground, and the rabbit was turned loose. Besidents of I
street in the vicinity of the Court-hoUBe thought all the dogs
in town had gone mad when they witnessed from their win-
dows the terrible race of yelping aud stumbling canines after
the fleet footed rabbit. The race grew more exciting as it
progressed, and the greyhounds were at the prey when the
latter suddenly took refuge under a lumber pile.

This occasioned a temporary delay, but the festive sports-
men succeeded in chasing the fugitive out of his retreat, and
then the race was renewed with inoreased fury, confusion
and scattering of mud.

The rabbit tore aloDg the street at a terrible rate, and final-
ly turned into J street and headed down town. Ladies
screamed and men dodged into doorways, horses began to
pitoh and plunge, and runaways and destruction were immi-
nent.

Again were the greyhounds in advance, and were fast
closing in upon the fleeing rabbit. But Jack was a tricky

There is evidently something of great importance on the
minds of the local ball playerB just now, but what it is can-
not be definitely ascertained. The account of the proposed
California Brotherhood which was published exclusively in
the Breeder and Sportsman three weeks ago has caused
them to be carefully guarded in their conversation, and the
most arlfnl plying fails to make any of them let slip a single
remark that might give an inkling as to what is going on.
When asked if the organization of the Brotherhood haB been
accomplished, some of the men stare blankly and j-. -k what is
meant; others deny that any such scheme has ever been con-
sidered, but there are old timers who will look a manager
square in the face and deny that they have touched a drop of
liquor during the season, while even as they talk they are
struggling to conceal their load. A few of the men refuse
positively to say a word on the subject, and all seem determin-
ed that their plans for the future shall uot be further exposed
to the world, at least for the present.

Whether the Brotherhood is a reality or not, one thing is
certain, and that is the boys are in no hurry to attach their
autographs to a contract for next Beasou, and the managers
are getting deeper into hot water day by day. In former
years the ball tossers have been most eager to sign for the
following season and draw down the comfortable advance
that enables them to while away the dreary winter days aud
drearier nights playing "peanuckle" and soaking their parch-
ed throats with frequent draught of the vintage of '89, label-
ed Fredericksburg. ThiB winter, however, tempting offers of
advance money and increased salaries fail to induce them to
respond in the way that ia desired, and to the pleadings of the
muchly worried manager tbey hint of engagements in theEast,
of retiring from the diamond, and other improbabilities, but
they will not sign a contract.

The most likely explanation of their action is that the Cal-
ifornia Brotherhood is an accomplished fact, and that the
men dream of an independent League formed with the aid of
outside capital. It is a well known fact tbat certain moneyed
men in this city have for several years talked of establish-
ing a rival to the California League, and it may be that they are
about to carry their ideas into effect. Meanwhile Messrs.
Harris. Finn and Eoright are casting their lines in the Last
for ball players, and if the local men are not following out
some well defined plan some of them are liable to find them-
selves McGintyized when the season opens next March.

Hardie is going to try another season in the East. This
time he goes to Boston, and his many friends on the Coast
hope he wiil became as great a favorite with the Beaneatars
as he is in San Francisco. It is not decided whether Coughlan
will go with him or not, but he probably will. They will
make a great battery.

Jerry Hurley has jumped his Milwaukee contract and sign-
ed with the Pittsburg Brotherhood Club. He will alternate
with Fred Carroll in backstop work.

Harris has signed two men for his San Jose club. The first
is George Spear, a San Diego man, who was highly recom-
mended to Mike Kelly by Cal McVey as being a first class
catcher. The other is Harry Howard, who played with
Stockton last season, and who will guard the second sawdust
bag for the Garden Cities.

Tom Power is one of the local men who is in no hurry to
sign away his liberty. He has received offers from every club
in the State, but has refused them all. Come Tom, tell us!
is it the California Brotherhood tbat impells you to hold off
this way?

Can it be that Charlie Sweeney is to be shelved? Finn is
negotiating with an Eastern second baseman for the Friscos,
and none of the other managers seem to want him. This
great ball player will not want for an engagement, however,
for he is in receipt of several tempting offers from Eastern
clubs.

Two more desertions from Ward & Co's. great Brotherhood
fake! Thompson and Myers have signed Philadelphia League
contracts for three years and now a howl will go np tbat
these men are traitors. They are not traitors, but simply re-
fused to become the tools of that baseball demagogue, John
M. Ward. They have foresight enough to see that this arch
scheme is leading them into a trap; the foundation of the
Brotherhood is rotten, and that the whole snap is gotten up
not with any idea that it will succeed for any length of time,
but the Ward, Kelly. Pfeffer and Hanlon may reap the bene-
fits of its brief popularity and then let their dopes look out
for themselves after the fake has smashed itself.

O'Neill is not meeting with the success in forming the Oak-
land club for next season lhat he anticipated. He counted
on securing Dooley, Stalling*, Long, McDonald and Small-
ey without any trouble whatever, but somehow his calcula-
tions have miscarried. The first two have under consider-
ation, offers from the Eastern ClubB, Dooley from one of the
Brotherhood fakes, and Stallings from the Chicago League
Club, and it is likely both will pace around foreign paths in
1890. Long will retire from the diamond if the League is in
creased to six clubs, as his business will not pormit him to
play four games a week. Smalley is holding out for an in-
crease of salary, and may sign with Finn as the latter is wil-
ling to acceed to the Haywards boys demands while O'Neill
declares tbat not a man will be paid more money than he got
last year. McDonald is the only member of lust seasons pen-
nant winners who is satisfied to sign at his old ealary. The
chances are that the Colonels will be composed principally
of imported taleut.

The American Association ia a dead cock in the pit. The
desertion of tbe Ciucinnatis, Brooklyn? and Baltimores has

one, and just as the foremost houud opened his jaws to grab left the organization in such a crippled slate that it is impos-
him the rabbit suddenly described a semi-circle and darted i Bible to build it up again. In addition many of the best play-

into a millinery store. But this time the dogs were not to be
outdone and they, too, followed into the store in hot pur-
suit.

What was the result?

Well, the story about the bull in the China shop will
henceforth be Bhelved. It is the dogs in the millinery
shop now.

The dogs didn't catch Mr. Jack after all, but they created
the impressiou — particularly at the millinery establishment —
hat their intentions were of the best.

A wrinkle for dog owners is handed us by Mr. A. B. Tru-
man. It is, never put distempered dogs upon hay bedding;
always use bright oat straw. There seems a reasonable
ground tor action in the fact that all hay is more or less
musty.

ers of the remaining clubs have joined tbc Brotherhood and
now comes Von der Ahe with a proposition to transfer the
Browns in a body to the Wardfake. Louisville, Kansas
City, Columbus aDd the Athletics will either be absorbed by
the Leasue or else join some minor association. This will
le*ve the Brotherhood aud League to tight for supremacy
with the conditions all in favor of the latter organization com-
ing out on top.

Robinson wonld like to secure Meegan for next season but
Finn will not give up his claim to his Kiug-pin twirler.

Anson is very sore at Van Haltren over hiB desertion of the
Chicago club. The old man has every season tn he lie

it was who developed the Calif ornian into the ti>
paying him a large salary all the time he w.
I o play ball and to have try to his benefm-i
manner as to say the least most ungrateful.

P. V. Johnston, the well known trainer and driver, arrived
here last Sunday. He speaks exceptionally well of the pros-
pects of Auteeo who is to make the best sire east of the Rock-
ies.

The Munch 'ster Sporting Chronicle says "financial astute-
ness waB the first charncteriatic of C. Wood," the well known
jookey. If that is bo Wood should join the colored combina-
tion.

Starter Caldwell in one day last week ot Elizabethtown
fined McCarthy, Bergen, Bodtn and French $20 each and set
Horton, Penny, Diugk-y, McCarthy and Lamley down for
the meeting.

Mr. Davies, owner of Roy Wilkes, came out here to get a
match mill hfl now suyR that Ibere ia not a man in California

At the meeting of the new Board of Directors of Willows
Agricultural Association F. G. Crawford was elected President
J R. Troxel vice-President; and W. V. Freeman, Secretary
and ex-officio Treasurer.

One hundred and twenty-seven horses have won over
$5,000 this year. J. B. Haggins' Salvator heads the list with
$71,380, and Flyaway is at the bottom with $5,010. The
127 won $1,481, 427 among them.

W. L. Pritchard has to move all his brood mares on account
of the flood. They arrived all safe at Oak Grove Park, near
Sacramento, after staying several days at Ranoho Del Paso,
until the water subsided a little.

T. Loates, the most successful jockey last season in Eng-
land, is young, rides a nice weight, has a wise head and cool,
accurate judgment, very quick to take advantage of an
opening, and a good story finisher.

The Governor last week appointed J. D. Byers. of Janes-
ville, and J. McBetb, of Butte Valley. Directors of Agricult-
ural District No. 11; also, C. A. H. WarBeld of Merced a Di-
rector of Agricultural District No. 21.

The Australian bookies all lost money last season, yet
"mirabile dictu" half a dozen have taken return tickets to
Europe. I have not heard of any backers going to Europe
except to avoid the usual weekly s tiling.

Janissary, by Isonomy out of Jannette, is being backed
for the English Derby. Isonomy was a Leviathan in his day,
while Jannette won the One Thousand, Oaks and Leger in
I87S. So far the colt has not shown any form in public.

A communication was read at the meeting of the National
Trotting Association from Mr. J. H, Wallace calling attention
to the disreputable devices practiced by owners to get a rec-
ord of 2:30 or better for their horses, so as to sell theua.

Will McDaniells, who bandied Poteen, Ed. Mack and oth-
ers last season will train for the Talbot Bros, next year. It
is very doubtful whether either of his late charges will stand
training again. Ed. Mack has been fired and turned out.

Little Sister, the dam of the Warwick and Manchester win-
ner, Mounteagle was sold by her owner, Mr. Peck, last July
to HerrJLuczenbacher for 1,800 guineas. She went to the
Kisber Stud and was acoomoaiued by a colt foal by Saraband.

Milton Young has added the five-year-old Pirate cf Pen-
zance by Prince Charlie (imp), out of Plunder, and the seven-
year-old Favor by Pat Mo Hoy out of Favorite by imported
King Ernest, to the list of stallions at the McGrathiana Stud
Farm .

Milton Yonng has sold to Ed. Corrigan of Kansas City the
brood mare Una, thirteen years, by War Dance, dam by im-
ported Knicht of St. George, and the mare Square Dance, teD
years, by War Dance, dam by imported Mickey Free, he pay-
ing $2,500 for the two.

Kentuckians say that the bay colt by Longfellow, dam
Christine by imported Australian will be the best two-year-
old in the Blue Grass district. He is a half brother to Mon-
tana Regent, and has a low, stealing way of going that is
very deceptive but almost perfection.

The continuance of heavy Dotting amongst certain jockeys
during the past season in England, says "Pavo," became so
puhlicly talked about at Newmarket as to call forth renewed
action on the part of the authorities, which will apply with
equal force to their commissioners and ''sleeping partners"
of both high and low degree.

W H. Crawford, the well-known LexiDgton horseman, left
last Friday. While he has been here he has favorably im-
pressed every one who oame in contact with him as a good
sterling jadge of horse flesh and a game, straightforward bet-
ter. He has as correct an idea and as high an opinion of
Stamboul's form as any man.

The Monmouth Park Racing Association proposes putting
up some wooden buildings on its property in New Jersey.
The buildings to be constructed are 10 large stableB, with 24
stalls in each; 96 stalls in the saddling paddock; the mem-
bers' stand, which is to be 400 feet long, and the betting
stand, which will be 350 feet long hy 250 wide.

The talent are nibbling at E. Corrigan's Riley and W. P.
Maxwell's Prince Fonso for the Kentucky Derby. Riley by
Longfellow, dam Geneva by War Dance, proved fairly suc-
cessful as a two-year-old, winning five races out of eleven,
while Prince FonBo by Prince Chailie, dam May Wilson, did
not show very great form.

The Queen's farm-manager at Windsor, Mr. Tait, haB sold
Her Majesty's two-year-old Clydesdale colt, First Choice 6746,
who waB first in his olass at the Royal Agricultural Show last
June for exportation to South America. Tins colt was bred
by Mr. Montgomery, of Netherhall, from whom he was pur-
chased for the Qaeeu.

Mr Dixon, in his book the "North Conntree," says that
in 1846 Touchstone stood at 30 guineas, wHle Venison was at
25 guineas, Lanercost 20 guineas, Bay Middleton and Or-
lando 10 guineas each. Hermit, a grandson in the male line
of Touchstone, uow stands at 250 guineas, and Galopin, a
graodson of the Flying Dutchman, standB at the same price,
and both are full, a year beforehand.

The Great Breeders' Prodnce Stakes at Kempton Park,
England, closed with 406 entries. The four winners will get
£9.000, while the nominators of first second and third get
£300. £150 and £100 respectively; the owner of the winner
gets £6 000, the second £1,500, third £!, 000, and fourth
£500. It is thus evident that this will be one of the largest
two-year old stake run for in the world so far.

H. Luke, who rode unsuccessfully here, has since his re-
turn, been riding in France for M. Ephruasi. His successful
inonnt on Fallowchat in the Manchester Handicap, gained
him many new friends for his rare judgment in not push-
ing the mare too munb at first, when he was almost left at
the post. Twenty-eight starters turned out which was a great
compliment to the handicapper.

Several English jockeys will have fresh employers next
season. J. Woodburn rides for Colonel North, while Mr. H.
Milner has lir^t and Mr. Blundell Maple second call upon the
services of T. Loates. The engagements of George Barrett
to the Kmgaclere stable and Fiori Barrett to Palace House
have been renewed. It is also faid that John Osborne may
occasionally ride for Ryan's stable, when the weight suits.

A tenner ($50) invested on any one of the Bix leading
jockeys' mounts in England would have resulted in a loss in
every instance; in fact in the first twelve, only two would
have resumed in a credit balance if backed through the sea-
son, and the balanc3 is very small in both instances.

C. W. Williams, the late owner and driver of the phe-
nomenal Axtell, is building a track at Independence, Ia. It
will be in the shape of a figure eight, or rather what is known
among those that have made tracks on the ice as a kite-shaped
course, with the judges' stand where the roadbeds cross. It
will have but one turn and two long stretches. Mr. Williams
expects to have one of the fastest tracks in the world.

The grey gpldiog Thapsin who had to be withdrawn at the
last P. C. T. B. H. A. meeting when he won the first heat in
2:21|, two more heats were trotted and the race postponed to
Monday, when he was in Buch a bad fix that he was allowed
to be withdrawn. It is asserted that during Wilber Smith's
absence he was tilled op and his since been badly foundered.
He is Blowly recovering, bat is still at the Bay District Track
and will probably never regain bis form.

Any one wishing to take advantage of the declarations will
take notice that they will be due and payable on the first of
January in the Norfolk. Matadero (formerly Breeders), the
Weinstock, Lubiu & Co. Stakes and California Derby to be
run at the spring meeting of the State Agricultural Society;
the declarations also are due on the first for the California
Autumn, California Annual, Suuny Slope and California
Breeders' Stakes, which will be run off at the State Fair
meeting, 1890.

The stakes of the New York Jockey Club for 1890, to close
January 2nd, have been announced. The moBt important
are the Toboggan Slide Stakes, for all ages, at six furlongs,
and the White Plains Handicap for two year olds, at six fur-
longs, the club to guarantee the gross valne of both of these
stakes to be $10,000, The former will be run at the spring
meeting, which begins on May 30th, and the latter at the
autumn meeting, the dates of which are not yet settled,

A. Hamilton will ride for Mr. Belmont, W. Hayward for
Senator Hearst, Isaac Lewis for Mr. W. L. Scott, Martin for
Mr. Galway, G.Taylor for Mr. Lorillard, F. Taral for La-
bold Bros , F. Littletield for Mr. J. A. Morris, the two Cov-
ingtons f. r Cspt. S. S Brown, Casey Winchell and his youn-
ger brother for Mr. T. Winters, W. Palmer and Mosier for
Mr. W. Daly. Bergen will probably ride for Mr. Withers,
while Isaac Murphy may ride for the Dwycrs.

On the front oi each bridle worn by the Hon. Jam 99 White's
(who has been the crack Australian race horse owner for sev-
eral seasons) horses in a race, is the name of the wearer
worked in white beads, the filling in being in blue beads.
Besides having a pleasing effect to the eye, the adoption of
the plan eaves the lads who have to walk the wearers of the
blue and white banner round the Birdcage, the trouble of
answerine the oft-repeated question of "Hi, my boy, what
horse is that?"

The Act of Parliament which regulates the use of the to-
talisator in South Australia provides that it shall only be
made use of on race courses and on a certain number of race
days, so that the persons who get up totalisator sweeps in
their shops or places of business know they are running
the risk of being prosecuted. There are several well known
places in Melbourne where the law 1b evaded, some of the
promoters were hauled up just previous to the Melbourne
cap and fines were composed from £300 downwards.

An Australian horseman writes: "I wish all horsemen
knew the value of sunflower seed. It is not only one of the
best remedies for heaves, but a horse which has recently
foundered can be entirely cured by being given half a pint
twice a day for a while *n his feed. Last autumn I took an
otherwise valuable young horse, which was bo stiff that you
could hardly get it out of its stall. In two weeks you
wouldn't know that anything was the matter with it, and it
has been all right ever since."

An amusing story is going the rounds about a prominent
buyer of yearlings who is somewhat new at the racing game.
He was the other day at his training stables, looking at his
most costly purchase with some friends, when he expressed
himself a little disappointed at the colt's appearance as he
stood before them in his box. His worthy trainer, however,
observed: "He looks much better when he's extended."
"Then," said the owner, with animation, "why don't you
extend him? Extend him immediately!" The rest is silence.

An article headed "Sitting in the Saddle" has appeared in
almost every paper in America. It is written by Captain Nel-
son, who Bays, while comparing the stjde with the American
method: "The English style is widely different from that
which the beBt American riders used to employ. English-
men sit far back in their saddles and rely on the piesBure of
the ball of the foot in the stirrup to keep them in place."
The captain also says: "It is the English method of horse-
manship that is being taught altogether in the riding schools
of this country " With all due deference to such a well-
known horseman, I would say that if he goes into the bunt-
ing field he will tind that, with the exception of the military
e'ement— who are proverbially reckless— the English hunting
man rides with his kneps and bands, and that the thigh,
knee and calf are relied on to maintain a firm, easy seat.

Mr. Hill will use Sid, who was purchased from B. C. Holly,
as his premier stallion on his ranch next Beasoo. Judging
from his royal breeding he should prove a success. Few
know how well bred he is, eo I give his pedigree.

The only Splan gives some of his experiences in London in
a letter to a Cleveland horseman. He says: "I have alwayB
thought I had a lively imagination, but the questions I am
asked daily in regard to ti'otters paralyze even me. Here iB a
sample: A lady and gentleman walked to Mumbrino Sparkle's
stall the other day and after looking at her in silence for a
few moments, noticed the card bearing her name and record,
2:17. The gentleman told the lady that meant she bad gone
two miles in 17 minutes, but she said no it meant that she
would be be exhibited in the ring at 2:17. Finally they asked
me to deoide the point, and with my usual gallantry I decided
in the favor of the lady, and the pair went on happily to see
the other curiosities.

Several yearlings principally by Plebian bought at Don-
caster, and shipped to Sonth America, died en route as did
a thousand guinea St. Simon yearling.

Louis P. Ezekiel will be clerk of the scales and course at
Memphis, "Nashville, Louisville and Latonia, and beside this
will represent all the principal owners of stake winning
horses of the South and West as forfeit collector.

A Sporting paper says that when the Oregon — L'winia
Belle excitement was at its height at Elizabetbtown, John-
nie Campbell ooly wanted the best of it while Phil and Mike
only wanted New Jersey.

The betting on the English Derby is 4 to 1 Surefoot, 5 to

Antaeus, the three-year-old colt by Sir Modred colt, won
the spring handicap at the recent V. R. C. meeting, easily
carrying 114 lbs. a mile and a quarter in 2:09i. Meteor, an
aged horse, was second, with 113 lbs. up.

The trotting stock from the Rancho Del Paso will leave for
New York about the 20th of February. The sale will take
place on or near the 10th of March. The thoroughbred year-
lings will leave in May.

M. Lupin, the Nestor of the European Tnrf, heads the list
of French winning owners thw year, his horses having won
stakes to the amount of £22,800. Last year M. Lupin was
third with £17,500, and in 1S87 he was fourth with £11,400.

There has been a good deal of anxiety as to who would
train for Mr. Marcus Daly next season. His eight yearlings
arrived at Matt Byrne's Eatontown farm last week, looking
well, and Matt will train them in addition to Mr. Haggin's
string. The six Sir Modreds are in the pink of condition,
while the $22,000 St. Blaise— Maud Hampton colt is said to
be looking exceptionably well.

The Belle Meade stud will be broken up on April 24 and
25. Judge H. F. Jackson having determined to retire. Gen.
W. H. Jackson and John Harding, the other two partners
will probably buy in several of the stallions and mares as
they are not going out of the business. Among those put
up will be the well known stallion Enquirer, Great Tom,
Luke Blackburn, Iroquois, & Bramble, the yearlings, will
be offered at the same sale.

Tom Cannon, who ia one of the finest horsemen in the
world, was not often seen in the saddle thisyear. only having
passed the post first eight times, but it is hoped that next
seasou he will be seen oftener. One of the most brilliant ef-
forts seen in England for years was his successful ride on
Enterprise in the 2,000 guineas this spring.

Mr. P. H. Reynolds, a popular Melbourne Boniface has as
usual presented to Anwin, the rider of Bravo winner of the
Melbourne Cup a handsome trophy viz., a liding whip mount-
ed with gold, and a jockey's cap over the stirrups, which
are supported by a hand, with the letters M. C. (Melbourne
Cup). At the base is a shoe with "winner" engraved, and
a spur below. A gold band with a plate and the winner's
name engraved on it complete tbe handsome artistic trophy.

One of the best English Sporting Dailies, The Sporting
Chronicle says:

The "glorious climate of California" so often quoted by its
admirers, has never had a more striking illustration of the
tendency to precocious developement than in the case of Mr.
Theodore Winter's crack two -year- old, El Rio Rey ("The
King of the River"), who is muscled and furnished through-
out more like a fully developed four-year-old. Hs is a per-
fect equine giant, standing over 16 hands high; rather an-
gular, and tremendously muscled, with a tendency to coarse-
ness. He is a golden chestnut in color, with three white
egs and a broad blaze.

Woodhouse'a record of the Melbourne Cups, issued in Mel-
bourne, gives a dismal synopis of the breakdown of favor-
ites It was held that Archer could not mate Norman gallop.
Banker and Lantern beat the favourites in 1863 and '64.
Torvboy was an outsider in 1865, Tlie Barb was not a fav-
ourite in 1S66. nor Tim Whiffler in 1867, norGlencoe in 1863,
nor Warrior in 1-869; and what terrific outsiders were Nini-
blefoot 1870, Pearl 1871, Quack 1872! Something of a fav-
ourite, Don Juan, won in 18*3. Outsiders then went in for
it again — Haricot 1874. Wollomai 1875. Then we have
such memories as Calamai, Darriwell, Zulu, Assyrian, Sheet
Anchor, Arsedal, Dunlop. Only two or three favourites won
in all the list ot Melbourne Cups. Therefore the mere fact
of a horse being the favorite is 10 to 1 against him. Jast
think that out.

W. T. Jones won £5767 at the late V. R. C. meeting, Bravo
taking the Melbourne Cup value £150 with stakes etc., added
— value £5617 while Mr. White won five races, five seconds
and two thirds; total value £4308.

Andrew Town is well known as a breeder and importer of
thoroughbreds, man)r of his yearlings '.having come here.
Foreign papers say tnat last month quite a sensation was
created in every part of Australia where racing is known when
it transpired taat tbe mortgagees of the Hobartville Breeding
Stud Farm near Sydney bad foreclosed the estate. The un-
fortunate proprietor was Mr. Andrew Town, whom, no doubt,
many racing men in England know through his purchase
time afler time, of English-bred mares. Mr. Town for many
years past has carried on the game of breeding thoroughbred,
stock for sale, and his annual sale of yearlings, footing up to
from 12,000 to 20,000 guineas in the best times, was tbe talk
of the colonies for weeKB. It has been whispered for some
two or three years past that a ecrew was loose; but even those
best informed scarcely thought the crash was so near at band.
Mr. Town has hosts of sympathisers. The mortgages are Mr.
W. A. Long (who raced in England half a dozen years ago)
and Mr. George Hill, also a Sydney sportsman.

At the Richmond (Yorkshire) Industrial exhibition, there
were many racing trophies stnt by several local magnates.
Sir Henry Bereseford Pierse sent the Richmond Gold Cup
won by Rosina in 1787, and the Richmond Cup captured by
Tuberose in 1778, as well as a massive local cup when Ro-
sette proved the heroine one afternoon in October, 1808.
Sir Henry also showed the Preston Guild Cnp, won in 1822
by Peverlar. This cup was only run for every quarter of a
century, and previous triumphs were respectively by those
renowned animals, Dr. Syntax and Jack Spigot. There was
the Ripon Plate, a silver howl, won by one of the animals
belonging the family in 1726. Sir Charles Dodsworth. Bart.,
of Thornton Watlass Hall, exhibited the Doocaster Cup of
1790. There is also a list of the Richmond Caps from 1759,
when the Duke of Cleveland's Dainty Davy was the victor
five years successively. Thrice did the illustrious Bee-
swing win the Cup, and thrice did the bonnie steed X. Y. Z.
Dr. Syntax won on four successive anniversaries, and it is
just one hundred years ago since tbe Prince of Wales won
the Richmond Gold Cup with Tot. There are reminiscences
of the old Raby pack from 1787, a pi2ture of Lady Hilda
Duudas's grey hunter, and an old picture of Equity, by Her-
ring, purchased at Squire York's sale. Mr. H. Abbot, o
Wharshton. exhibited the racehorses, in the great match be-
tween Mr. Neville's Sir Joshua and Mr. Holdsworth's Filho
da Puta, run over the Rowley Mile, at Newmarket, for £1,-
000 years ago, and to wind up two very ordinary pictures o£
Fred Archer and Charlie Wood.

EL CUERVE,

Holstein-Frieaian cattle have gradually worked their way
into the confidence of farmers and ranchers on this coast, and
are to-day acknowledged to be the greateat producers of milk
and cheese. They are now making a bold bid for supremacy
as butter producers, commencing with a rnodtst win at the
Iowa State Fair in 1SS5, where Holsteins were awarded the
first prize for dairy butter, and in 1S86 at the same fair the
Holsteins won tbe first prize for the best butter cow. After
this quickly followed the victory over the Jersey at the Min-
nesota State Fair of 18S6, where all three prizes were awarded

the best butter was taken by a Holstein and was awarded |
sweepstakes for butter over all breeds, there being eleven en-
tries, and scored higher than any butter in the show.

Though not bringing the first Holstein herd to this coast,
Mr. Frank Burke of Menlo Park should rank as one of the
Pioneer breeders, for he has probably done more to introduce
these cattle on this coast than any other man here, and mem.
bers of bis herd have been scattered from British Columbia
to Texas, and from Colorado to the Sandwich Islands, China
and Japan.

Through his sires he inherits the rich butter strain of the
Netherlands, and through the Lincoln branch the heavy, long
continued milking qualities of the Aaggies; thus combining
through sire and dam the two greatest butter and milking
strains.

This bull, in addition to other prizes taken this year won
the first prize for the best bull at the State Fair this vear
but was not entered for the sweepstakes, nor did he appear
as the head of the herd in the Herd Sweepstakes, as owing to
a discussion which took place in this city, Mr. Burke de-

them on the butter test. At tbe West Virginia Exposition
and State Fair of the same year they won the butter test
against all breeds, taking the four first prizes offered. In the
Ohio State Fair butter test of 1887 the HelBteins won for
both quality and quantity. At the Michigan Fair Holstein-
Friesian butter won the first prize. The New York Dairy
Show of 1887 brought them immediately to the front, where
they took the first premiums against heavy competition. At
the same Bhow a Holstein cow won the sweepstakes for the
best cow of any breed, twelve competing, five of which were
Jerseys and one Guernsey; the seoond prize in this ring bIbo
was taken by a Holstein. At the American Fat Stock and
Dairy Show held in Chicago in 1887, the first premium for

We this week present an illustration of Mr. Burke's grand
Holsteinbull £1 Cuervo Netherland, No. 3236 of the Holatein-
Friesian Herd Book, an unbeaten bull in 1838 at every fair
at which he was shown as a two-year-old, and who with
prizes won this year as an individual and as head of a herd, has
won more first prizes, Bweepstakes and gold medals than any
Holstein that ever appeared in a show ring on this coast.

Below is his pedigree:

Calved May 3, 1886. Sire, Netherland King (H. E. B , Vol.
7, 1,924). G. sire, Netherland Prince (71b). G. G. sire,
Schemmel. G. G. G. sire, Schreuder.

clared that even without Netherland he could beat all Hol-
stein bulls of any age in the State with a two-year-old, and
kept his word by winning the Bull Sweepstakes with King of
Menlo, and with the same bull at the head of the herd won the
Herd Sweepstakes against the largest and best display of
Holsteins ever exhibited in this State.

El Cuervo Netherland of comse standB at the head of the

New Tear Greeting.

The year 1889, the last of its own decade which ushers
in tbe opening year of the last decade of the century, is
a year that will be long remembered by those living,
and will be recorded as a year of extraordinary events
and most extraordinary disasters, of unprecedented ca-
lamities. Shipwrecks in which hundreds of lives were
destroyed occurred in the first month of the year. From
bad to worse the reckoning progressed until the horrible
culmination at Johnstown, in which thousands met death
by flood and fire, and millions of property was wrecked
The saddening chapters of disasters and holocausts con-
tinued. From every portion of the globe have come re-
ports to mark the expiring year of the decade as one of
sorrow. And in our own State there has occurred a sea-
son which is phenomenal and without parallel in the
memory of that universal authority — the oldeBt inhabit-
ant. It iif the "racing season" in California. Since Oc-
tober the rains have poured, out of all precedent, beyond
the measure of past experience.

Bat the full record of the year does not embrace gloom
only; it has its bright and gratifying occurrences to note
upon the tables of Time. In the round world view, Bra-
zil has cast off empire and monarchy and donned the re-
publicanism which much assimilates with ttat of the
Uoited States. Stanley and Kin in Bey have announced
the closing steps to the formation of systems in Africa
which shall \u good time redeem that continent to the
benefits of civilization. The Paris Exposition was an il-
lumination of enlightened nations to brighter blaze tbe
paths to accomplishments of Boperior science with the
arts combined, and America's Edison, brilliant beyond
the conceptions of Franklin and of Morse, has further
astounded the world with his marvellous training of elec-
tricity to the useB of mankind.

The BBESDHB AHD BrOKTSMAN has, to tbe chosen fields
in which its course is directed, surpassing events to put
upon the record. California has proved that the palm of
excellence iB her own without successful disputation. Ej
Rio Key, Regal "Wilkes, Suuol and Faustino have made
the lines which trace their distinctive triu raphe) as uncon-
tested highways to the world of the turf. Never in the
annals of racing in auy country was there such a smash-
ing up of records as was made at the Bay District track
the day on which the breeding farms of Palo Alto, San
Mateo and Pleasanton demonstrated thair respective en-
titlement, in the distinctive performance, to the cham-
pionship of the trotting turf. Robert Bonner has sub-
scribed to tbe higher doctrine of the California equipment
and system by bis visit here, and his noteworthy pur-
chase jf Suuol at a pi ice beyond that ever before given
■>tter of her sex, and bv his great enconiums of
if nia breeding, training and worth, Bince his return
■ New York.

Grand as have been tne achievements of the California
horsesduringtheyear.it is not an extravagant predic-
tion that during 1890 there will be surpassed, at trials in
the States eastward and at home. And in good time will
come the invincible conviction with accomplished horse-
men that California is best adapted of any country to
the perfection of horses for speed and endurance, the
qualities of the equine. It is further a safe prophesy
that before the expiraUon of the closing decade of the
centnry a California bred trotter will demonstrate that a
full mile can be trotted in two minutes. Some are so
sanguine of consequences, in the light of events of the
year, which have hammered down old beliefs and as-
tounded even the optimistic, as to express the opinion
that the mile will be trotted below the two minute mark.
If it can be, the Breeder and Sportsman feels eon-
tented in tbe thought that tbe marvel will be to the rec-
ord of a California trotter.

In happenings in the fields of noble sport apart from
the turf, the year has not been uneventful.

Another year will bring in the regular biennial session
of the State Legislature, and without doubt that body
will so amend the Game laws as to actually protect every
species of game from the depredations of those who
slaughter and destroy without care or conscience. Mean-
time^ game clubs throughout the State and the lovers
of good Bport in every community can do excellent ser-
vice in detecting transgressors and bringing them to
justice, which will lead to the needed reformation of the
laws.

In the general wiud-up of the year, the Breeder and
Sportsman notes more for congratulations than for
mourning, and precedes the initial day of 1890 with a
hearty "Happy New Year" and as Tiny Tim wished,
"God bless every one!"

The Roy Wilkes Case.

On tbe 16th of last October a free for all pacing i ace
took place at Lexington, Ky., under the auspices of the
K. T. H. B. A. It was a very sensational affair, as on
the following morning every newspaper in the X'nited
States that receives telegraphic despatches contained an
account of how Roy Wilkes had been pulled in the two
first heats, that Robens had been taken out of tho sulky,
Ed. Geers put up, and that the stallion had finally won,
but that the owner, L. A. Davies, was fined $1000 and
Robens $500. "When the Eastern sporting papers arrived
with an account of the race the major portion of them
simply stated that the fine had been inflicted and made
no comments. The Breeders' Gazette, however, had an
able article which supported Mr. Divies in the premises
and proved rather conclusively that the fine was placed
on the presumed offenders, not for pulling the horses,
but for laying up two heats. Being so far away from
tbe scene of action, i* was impossible for us to speak
knowingly of the circumstances, but within the past
week we have s«en most of the testimony which will be
produced before the Board of Appeals. When tbe fine
was imposed Davies at once entered an appeal as follows:
"L. A. Davies, of lawful age, being first duly sworn, de-
poses and says that he has good and sufficient grounds,
to wit, innocence, for an appeal, and does hereby protest
the application of any money now in the hands of the
National Association upon a certaiu fine put upon him
by the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Associa' ion
of Lexington, Ky."

What could have induced the judges to inflict such a
penalty is beyond our knowledge, but it must have been
on an equality with the magistrate who said to a prison-
er, "I do not want to hear your case. Six months."
The appellant will present a very strong affidavit in re-
gard to the matter, in which is shown all the work given
the horse for three weeks prior to the Lexington race;
attention is called to the state of tbe weather prior to the
lGth; the horse had travelled continuously for Bixty
hours before arriving at Lexington; the orders given
Robens are clearly stated, to win in straight heats; the
amount of money played in the pool box the night be-
fore the race is stated, and also tbe amount hedged out
after the second heat; in fact, there is a plain statement
which any one will be able to understand. To corrober-
ate the testimony which will be given by Mr. Daviest
there are also affidavits from the ex-president of one of
the prominent Western associations, one from the secre-
tarj' of a well known driving park, one from a friend of
Mr. Davies who went from Chicago to play money on the
race for himself and the appellant; one from tbe gentle-
man who hedged out the Davies money and the attendant
circumstances; one from the cashier of the Mutual pools
and one from tbe cashier of the auction pools. There is
also an affida\it from a gentleman who overheard tbe
instructions given by Davies 'o tbe persou who came
from Chicago to bet money on the result, and there is al-
so a strong affidavit from oue of tbe owners of the pool
privileges. Tbe strongest testimony, however, is that
presented in the affidavit of Ed. A. Tipton, Secretary of

the Association, who gives direct evidence in favor of
Mr. Davie3. In fact, taken all in all, it is almost a fore-
gone conclusion that Davies will be exhonorated from
blame, and the fine remitted. All of the witnesses testi-
fy to tbe excited state of Davies after the second heat,
and two of the parties assert that, acting under the or-
ders of Davies, they tried to Becure the services of another
driver to handle the horae in tbe third heat prior to tbe
time that he was calltd to the stand. It would be un-
just to give tbe evidence in full, but it can be safely as-
serted that Mr. Davies will be relieved from any odium
that may attach to bim at present from those who do
not understand the merits of the case.

The St- Louis Jockey Club-

We h\ve to call attention to the closing of entries i
for the next meeting of the St. Louis Jockey Club, which
take place on January 15th. Tbe Directors have pre-
pared an unusually good programme, particular attention ,
having been paid to the two and three-j'ear-olds. The ■
two-year-olds have a large number of races assigned to ■
them and there is $8,900 in added money for the young-
sters to run for, while the three-year-olds are even more
liberally dealt with, $10,300 beiDg given to them. Quite ■
a number of the stakes are still open, and those in which i
there is a chance still to enter, are advertised io another
column. The entries from California should be of a-.
liberal character as there are a number of stables going
East in the spring, and this will be a splendid opportun-
ity to break tbe journey and assist in paying expenses.:.
Read the announcement carefully and make entries.

BILLIARDS.

A few friends of Prof. J. F. B. McCJeery contrihs€«d" mon-
ey enough to purchase an elegant, watch and chain for the
celebrated billiard expert, and last Tuesday eteaing they
as-embied at tbe Baldwin Hotel, W. H. Barnes, acting aa
spokesman for the party. The presentation speech was aa
follows: —

Life is somewhat like a billiard table. It ba3 its "angles,"
its "corners, ' its "frames, " its "spots" and its "counters!"
Mankind is continually "stringing for the lead." Individu-
als strive to "push" their way, and sometimes, regardless
whether the stroke is "fair or "fonl," "force" themselves to
the front to gain the contiderce of the "masses."

We "follow" our various pursuits, and often endeavor to
"draw" cuBtom, approbation or applanse.

Frequently our most careful calculations are upset by a
"miscae;" our warm aspirations get "frozen" when we least
expect it. and we have to commence a "new lead"

From time immemorial some "kisses" have been typical of
treachery, disappointment and betrayal, and in tbe game of
billiards, if not carefully arranged for legitimately, the "kiss"
is sure to Bpoil tbe even tenor of "tbe run."

I might enlarge upon this theme and trespass upon yonr
time by ringing charges upon tbe technical terms of the
scientific, beautiful and "winsome" game of billiards. But
such is not the object for which I bave asked yonr attention
for a few moments.

For some years in this city there has been a growing taste ■
for this healthy and commendable game. No residence now
can be said to be complete without a billiard table. It is a
source of recreation and pleasure alike to old and young, to,
parents and to children. It receives the unqualified endorse--
mentof the thinking mind, and the greatest physicians, euchi
as Sir Astley Cooper of Eogland, and thai renowned Ameri^.
oaD, S. Marcy, have given it their most hearty approval.

But it will be conceded that the moEt meritorious inven-
tions, the best discoveries, and even those matters necessarv
and useful to the race, have to be introduced and earnettly
presented by .Bome one, and here I come to the point of my
remarks.

I feel confident that no exception can be taken to the as-
sertion that no one has done so much to introduce, improve,
awaken an interest in and bring into general and favorable
notice tbe noble game of billiards upon the Pacific Coast as
Professor J. F. B. McCleery.

In this direction hs enterprise has been persevering and
his energy indomitable. Regardless of time, money and toil,
and often at a secrafice of all three, he has presented his at-
tractive science, until to-day scores of ladies and gentlemen
in San Francisco play excellent game8,,and the public at large
r- •agnize the value and beauty of this healthful and agreea-
ble exercise.

Possessed of a wealth of knowledge and bkilled by experi-
ence in this pleasant art, it has been a pride and pleasure for
him to communicate it to his pupils aud friends, and recently
in an admirable book upon the subject, to throw open thia
fount of information lo the world.

It is said that republics are ungrateful and unappreciative,
but I do not think that the remark is true of American citi-
zens, aB a rule, and especially those of San Francisro.

Professor McCleery, a number of those familiar with yonr
work, courtesy and painstaking tfforts bave requested me to
present you with a token of their recognition of the same.

I will not allude to its intrinsic value or enlarge upon its
beauty. These Bpeak for themselves. It is a kindly Christ-
mas gift, with tbe good wishes of many on this natal festal
eve.

If bad "breaks" occur in life, and unexpected "freezes"
come, as they will in this pilgrimage, may this be a talesman
to give yonr thoughts the proper twist that will overcome all
emergencies.

Arcept this friendly token as an evidence of regard and
esteem; as a reminder that there are those who have a kindly
interest in you aud yours.

May this little incident serve to inspire you to still greater
effort in tbe years that may be before yon and be long re-
membered as a sunny spot in the journey of life.

And now, go forward, with our beat wishes for your suc-
cess, to play your part in the great game to which all living
are engaged.

I know of no better words with which to conclude than
thoBe yon give your pupils on Page 31, of yonr book.
Don't — Lose your temper.
Don't — Sp*re the chalk.
Don't— Play on the ball farthest away.
Don't — Keep your feet together.

The Howe Scale Compiny at 411 and 413 Market street, San
Francisco is prepared to furnish scales for weighing livestock,
Beed, feed, etc., and also Flake's Vanes made of copper and
gilded with pure gold leaf. The Howe Scale is in use at La-

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphlppua,

The rain still continues, but as we go to press the indica"
tionB for a dry spell are very favorable.

The organization of the Alpine Athletic Clnb a couple of
weeks ago, was a move in the right direction and the Olympic
and University Athletes are by this time cognizant of the fact
that three Richmonds will be in the field on May 30th, in-
stead of two. At the present time it would be hard to say
which of the three clubs will come out first, but from an un-
prejudiced point of view it should be safe to assart that while
the older clubs may continue to hold their own, the new or-
ganization, owing to all the inducements wnich it offers to
its members, will daily grow in the favor of the athletep, so
that by the d*te of the next championshipmeeting the Alpine
Amateur Athletic Club will have enlisted in its services more
than fifty per cent, of the champion amateur athletes of the
Pacific Coast. Therefore the other two leading clubs would
have but fifty per cent, of the athletes between them which
fact would imply that the Alpine Club should have a walk
over for the pennant while the University and the Olympic
Clubs would have a hard fight for second honors.

Like the athletes, the oarsmen are awaiting the dry weather
tb«t tbey may resume practice.

The wheelmen are talking about holding a monster tourna-
ment in the Mechanics' Pavilion.

BUNKERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, "ETC.

Cooley thinks that he will not only beat Cassidy in the mile
run at the championship games, but that he will also lower
the coast record.

James Sexsmith, the champion pole vaulter aDd general
:athlete, has joined the Alpine Club.

We have it on reliable authority that the champion long
distance runner of America has also joined the Club.
P. F, Gafney has fully made up his mind tojtrain properly
'for the next games. He is determined to prove himself wor-
thy of the organization which he helped to found.

Scott, Jordan, McArthur aDd several other of the old time
runners will again go into training in order to help the club
out on May 30th. Had the AlpiDe Club not sprung into ex-
istence, the Olympic Club would have had an easy battle for
first honors at the Championship meeting.

The Harbor View Grounds will be ready for use by Janu-
ary 15th and the Alpine boys will have an excellent track to
train on. The track will be put in fine condition, a wire
fence will be built around the inside. The space enclosed
by the track will be levelled off and nicely laid out for ham-
mer throwing, shot patting and jumping, Large and com-
fortable dressing and bathing rooms will be erected, and in
fact everything necessary will be done by the club for the
comfort and accommodation of the members.

Owing to the rain, the track at the new out-door grounds
of the Olympic Club will he in very bad shape for the Wash-
ington Birthday game*. By May 30th, however, it will be
in condition for record breaking.

THE WHEELKEJT.

In this line of athletic sports is dull. The wheelmen have
been unable to use their machines for some weeks past on
account of the same old chestnut, the rain. With the begin-
ning of fine weather may be expected the beginning of a pros-
perous wheeling season. During the next year it is general-
ly anticipated that more interest will be taken in bicycliDg
and that rival clubs will join band in hand in an effort to
boom the pastime on the Pacific Coast.

The Oakland Bicycle Club of "89 is determined to make
itself known during the next year. Its membership is daily
increasing.

It is proposed by the Bay City Wheelmen to hold a mons-
ter tournament in tbe Mechanics' Pavilion sometime within
the next two months. The newly organized Alpine Amateur
Athletic Club also intends holding an indoor athletic meet-
ing within the same space of time, and as the suggestion has
already been made that both clubs unite and have one mons-
trous tournament, we heartily approve of tbe plan and only
hope that proper arrangements can be nnde for the meeting
of the two organizations. The Bay City Wheelmen may hope
for success through its well known name, while the large
membership of the Alpine Club would prove a great help as
far as the financial success of a meeting is concerned.

AT THE OARS.

Ed Fiuley, C. Pless, H Pless and Johnson Hardy, who
aspire for the amateur championship in 1890, went to the
boat house of the Ariel Club on Sunday and after waiting sev-
eral hours for the rain to stop, returned home somewhat dis-
heartened.

Owing to the damage by the recent storm to the Ariel float,
and to the possibility of the Kailroad Company removing the
boat clubs from Long Bridge, the chance3 are that the Ariel
Club will try to establigh its headquarters close to the Ala-
meda mole. The S. P. Co. should try aDd induce the club

to make the chaDge, for in the loDg run it would prove pro-
fitable to both.

The next meeting of the Pacific Rowing Association will be
held atS18 Howard St., on Wednesday eveniDg, January S.
1890.

Charley Long, the single sculler of the Pioneer Rowing
Club has been laid up for the past week with a complication
of complaints. Fears are entertained that he will nover re-
gain his former good health and speed in rowing.

Several prominent members of the Ariel Rowing Club
have joined the Alpine Athletic Club, and will try to estab-
lish an amateor champion crew at Harbor View.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

In about a week the programme of events to be contested
at the ooening of the Olympic Club's new grounds, February
22d, will be issued.

Now that tbe P C A A A is a member of the American Ath-
letic Union, we hope the programme committee will decide to
strictly adhere to the A A U championship list of games.

It is thought that the Golden Gate Athletic Club will not
apply for re-admission to the P C A A A, at the end of the
present term.

Last Saturday evening, December 21st, the Y. M. C. A.
gave a very interesting athletic exhibition at its Gymnasium
Hall, 232 Sutter street. Over 200 persona wer<s estimated to
be present. The Gymnasium was tastefolly decorated with
ferns, draperies aud lanterns, which gave to it an elaborate
appearance.

The programme consisted of performances on the horizon-
tal bar, the flying rings, the parallel bars, the horse and
fencing. The participants were Messrs. E. Bair. Will Hen-
ry, W. Clinton, E. Cherry, J. H. Harri-OD, S. Edwards, L.
Poltenghi, J. Graham and F. Rogers, all of whom were loudly
applauded for the graceful and difficult tricks which tbey
did.

Frank Hart, the champion club-swinger of the Pacific
Coast, gave a very interesting exhibition of club-swinging,
for which he received many plaudits from the spectators.

The evening's entertainment ended with a lug-Of-war be-
tween teams of six, both of whom were successfal in gaioing
a pull.

JOTTING FROM ALL OVER.

About two thousand persons were present at the annual
winter meeting of the Twelfth Regiment Athletic Association,

lo, who can lift the ''Police Gazette" champion dumbbell
weighing 1,000 pounds.

William O Conner offera to row aoy man in the world for
$2;500, or $5,000 a side. Naturally it would se*m that he is
entitled to the title of champion since the death of Searle,
but many are of the opinion that he cannot fairly claim the
title. There are a couple of men in the world to-day who
would not ba afraid to meet O Connor in a single-scull race
but who, if Henry E. Searle still lived, would not attempt to
aspire for championship honors. There is one thing certain
and that is that William O'Connor, champion oarsmen of
America, will be compelled to fight for the championship of
the world before he can legitimately claim it.

The Eastern prize fighters are beginning to realize that
California has had a surfeit of their ability, hence the tide of
pDgilistic emigration westward daily becomes less.

The Alpine Amateur Athletic Club was permanently organ-
ized on Friday eveuing, December 20th. Tbe meeting was
held at 539 California Street. After tbe Constitution and By-
Laws were adopted, the following officers were elected to
serve for a term of six months: President, M. C. Giry (unan-
imously); 1st vics-President, T. J. Cunningham; *2d vice-
President, F. M. Howard; Treasnrer. H. O Farrell; Record-
ing Secretary, P. N. Gafoey; Financial Secretary, Charles
Ycltee; Corresponding Secretary, E. P. Moody; Sergeant-at-
Arm, James Sheehan; Executive Committee, Richmond J.
Lattrenger, George Armbrnster, E. Sullivan.

There were two candidates nominated for the office of
Treasurer, and the election in this case was very exciting.
On the first vote the result was a tie, each man receiving
forty-four votes. On tbe Becond coant the result was fortj-
five for Farrell against forty-three for E. Sullivan.

The Charter roll was closed with about 150 names.

Many of the best athletes on tbe coast joined tbe club, and
several more are expected to follow snit. The Committee on
Training Grounds reported that Harbor View had been se-
cured. The place will be ready for use by January 15th.
Games, open only to members, will be given there about the
second week in February. The club will also try and make
arrangements for tbe holding of a monster indoor athletic
meeting in the Mechanics' Pavilion in March. The Commit-
tee on Clnb Rooms and Gymnasiums reported that the Dew
building on Tenth street would not be ready until the end of
January.

The Committee were empowered to rent temporary rooms.

The meeting adjourned to Friday evening, December 27th,
at 839 California street.

THE WORLD,

No Remedy ha? attained so much attention
in 60 Bhort a time as this. None has met
with sach prejudiced and unfair opposition
from the Druggists and Doctors whose busi-
ness it has interfered with. "We deem it a
compliment of the highest order, and a com-
mendation to ba abused and berated by a
certain class of jonrnals, paid bj- jealous
druggists.

The Marvelous Success

of this Remedy is doe solely to its

Power to Cure the Sick.

We simply ask yon to investigate.

Tje pool-room bnBinemi o( the city was never in a more
Iloar.shing uomlnion than .it present, yet the nroprietois of
tho t.uf eIcbauKe« are not happy. There is a" general howl
of complaint all along tbe line. While the Legisbunre was
ion a yew ago the existence ol the pool-rooms was
threal.n..l, tmt tbe proprietors were not nearly so badlv
(nKhU-oe<l as they are now. The factors that have now con-
■pired to sqieeze them are the Western Union Telegraph-Thls'Iv
Cornpmy and the correspondent at tbe track 'The
aqaeeze has readied soch proportions." said a prominent
pool-room insn yesterday, "that we will have to close op or
go broke: 1 mil a short time ago the servioes of a track cor-
respondent wer.- »5 e day, and the money was collected for
him every day by the Western Union. A short time ago the
correspondents boisted their wages to $10 a dav, and as thev
controlled the privileges and had an air-tight monopoly we
had to submit or quit. Nearly all ihe rooms take* three sets
of races. This week we have Gntteoherg, Clifton, and Bir-
miagbam, and th« means «30 a day for each room for cor-
resnond.ots. riicn come the Western Union tolls Tho
oo-jpany has a moiiopolv ,.f ibo racing Bervie-s and tbev
n-.ke us nay ahont live times what it is worth Tbe tele
gi »ph tolls in a room taking three aeis of races is $fio a dav
■ lenaeonple of years ago it was, about $30. In commer-

I . tl.irs the m»rchant pays the telegraph company for the
r_ es.gea, bnl .ba does not par the operator. The W- stern
1 ion not only collects live prices for the race service it for-

"« of\£ C°.?Pe- S "S '° em,Bloy and P*" °P««tors. The
'of the nutter is wear- all .lo.ns merely a commission

bnsiness. Nearly all the money taken in by the pool-rooms
is haodsd over every day to the telegraph oompany. The
public may win and lose, and we frequently win and lose a
great deal; but the telegraph monopoly has a double-breast-
ed cinch on the whole bnsiness. One illustration will show
the greed of the monopoly. Two bookmakers, who bavs
been conducting separate pool-rooms, decided to occupy the
same room and cut off one race service. Then tbe telegraph
oompany raised thunder and threatened to out off the room,
em of bolldoziug has been resorted to a numhei of
tunes, and nearly always with success."— St. Louis Repub-
lican.

ROD.

Opposed to Dynamiting.

Editor Breedkr and Sportsman:— For Heavens sake
don't advocale the destruction of Ihe inferior fishes by
the use of explosives. It would open the wnv for the advo-
cates of those destructive agencies to ihe ruthless slaughter
of the bnr tribe, under the pretense of killing suckers.

Especially would this be so in Napa County, where the
volume of water in Ihe streams is not sufficient to permit
Iroul to readily pass from pool to pool, as suggested by Mr.
C. C, Sherman, and again our experience (and we are not
without some experience from actual observation) is that
trout as a general thing do not leave the pool in- which they
are lying upoD being alarmed, but. immediately hide nnder
the nearest object which otters them shelter, while the indif- j

erent suckers would lay in plain sight, yet the killing of the
one would result in the destruction of tbe other.

As to the suckers eating Ihe eggs of trout and' other fishes
l. is no new thing but has been going on for ages without
any noticeable depreciation of the better class of Bshes from
those causes, and it is exceedingly doubtful if the eggs that
are eaten up in this way woold aver be hatched or matured
but are simply those that are drifting from the spawning
beds down the streams. B

I am not an expert on trout or their manner of spawning
but it is exceedingly doubtful in mv mind if the sucker was
ever known to ferret out and devour tront eggs that had been
properly deposited and cared for on the spawning beds ac-
cording to Nature's laws.

This is not au appeal for the sucker, but it makes me
shudder to think of the inevitable result if his destruction is
permitted and advocated by the use of explosives.

Napa, Cal., Deo. 21, 18S9. Wm. West.

Chief of Patrol F. P. Callundan is doing grand work in
stopping the stealing of small fish by Chinese and others.
On Thursday of last week four men were convicted and fined
$150 each by Judge SI. H. Bailhaohe at Martinez, making
an aggregate of about $2500 fines imposed at Martinez during
tbe sixty days last passed. All of those convicted in Contrl
Costa County have gone to jail rather lhan pay their fine-
but as soon as the weather clears and the prisoners are in'-
cited to work upon public improvements it is probable they
will pay up in preference.

BUCKEYE DRILLS.

New Buckeye Low Down Shoe Drill with Chain

Coverers.

When Press Wheels are used in place of Chain Coverers the Drill is so arranged that the
principal weight of both the machine and operator can be placed on the Press Wheels, or if
so desired, a portion of this weight can be put on the Shoes by means of the levers, fur-
nished with either Chain Coverers or Press Wheels.

AllonrSUoe Drills are fnrnfsbetf with tlie Clialn Coverers, but the Press WbeeJs
are an Extra Attachment which is not tarnished unless specially ordered.

Reasons Why the Buckeye is the Best.

Because it has a Limber Tongue with no weight on tne horsea' necka.

Because It is supported both in front and rear by wheels, making it licht draft and easv to control
Because the operator ct.n reguUte the depth that the Shoes run in the ground, and amount of pressure
on bolh Shoes and Press Wheels, with the same levers.

Because it is better finished, neater looking and easier to operate than any other Shoe Drill on the market

Kalamazoo, Micrr., Sept. 15, 1888.
Gentlemen :— We have used ossidine for the post two years,
and consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone, una
Spavins; there is nothing equals it : and for us it effected n permanent
cure where tiring failed, although performed by one of the most suc-
cessful veterinarians on the continent. We have recommended it to
others with like success, and believe it has more merit than any blister
ever used. Very respectfully yours,

S. A. BROWNE & CO., Prop's.

This scientific preparation is an absolute cure
for all bony or callous lumps on horses, and i^ a
more powerful absorbent than " firing," with-
out creating the slightest blemish.

Acknowledged by leading horsemen of the
world to f\Ki | x/' preparation that will
be the UliLT remove a Bone Spavin
after it has become ossified.

We have authority also to refer to

Mr. JEROME I. CASK, Mr. FRED. GERHARD,
